Hello again!
This chapter is going to be long and a bit 'heavy' XD It's the longest thing I have ever wrote… so far…
It's kind of divide in two parts (because I was going to divide this in two chapters, but I decided that it'd be better if I left it like one), so maybe you can divide your review (if you want to leave one, of course) in two parts, telling me what do you think about each
By the way: Do you remember that scene in the original Happy Feet 1 where after the first time that Gloria and Mumble went to the ocean, Mumble jumped out of the water and landed on Gloria, ending in a quite… interesting position?
Well, I realized that I hadn't used that in the first fic… so… I guess that StarSource is not going to like the chapter XD
Happy Reading ^^

Chapter 5: Forming and breaking bonds
Mumble was making his way across the many penguins reunited in the square. They were taking a break after been all the morning singing and dancing. Now was the time of the chicks. The teachers were reuniting them in groups of 40 or 50, so they could chat and maybe, if someone wanted to, share a song with their classmates. Mumble was looking for one of these schools, since he knew that his student, Katherine, was a volunteer in one and she was helping the teachers to organize everything. He and Kath were supposed to sing again after the break, but now he wanted to ask her to let him sing with his son.
"Excuse me…" He said to a random penguin "Do you know where Katherine is? You know, the tall girl that still has fluffy feathers on her chest"
"Yeah! Your singing partner! Let me tell you that you make a cute couple" The other penguins answered. Judging by its voice, she was a female.
"I'm already married" Mumble answered, glaring at the female.
"Oh... I'm sorry, I didn't know! I didn't see you in the singing ritual of the last season"
"Do you know where she is or not?"
"She is looking after the chicks of…"
"I don't want to be rude, but I just want to know where is she, not what she is doing. I'm an a hurry"
"Well, she is a few meter in that direction" The female said, pointing to the entrance of the territory. There was only one class in that direction, the class that used to be Miss Viola's one. So probably Erik, Bo and Atticus were there too.
"Thank you, see you later" Mumble said and walked away.
"Anytime!... but watch out the cliff!" The female shouted to Mumble, but he didn't pay attention to her warning. He thought it was a joke of some kind.
While he was making his way through the crowd of penguin, he noticed something in the sky. Several flying birds, from several species, were coming from the ocean and flying inside the continent. Skuas, gulls, albatrosses... all flying together without bothering each other's presence
"This's really odd…" Mumble thought "They never go much further inland that this... unless... something is frightening them... what could possible scare such a large number of birds?"
He was so distracted staring at the sky and thinking in reasons for the birds' behavior, that he didn't noticed the cliff in front of him and he simply fall from it… but he didn't fall in the ground. He fell in something soft, warm… and fluffy.
"Huh!" He heard from below him.
"Sorry, I didn't…" He said as he opened his eyes… finding another pair of brownish eyes staring at his. A female was laying under him; her eyes widened and her beak opened. He was on top of her… her legs opened… he in the middle… a position quite… compromising "K-K-Katherine?" He muttered.
"M-M-Mumble?" She replied. Both of them were incapable of doing a single move. They were frozen and their eyes didn't want to stop staring at each other. But it was something strange… neither of them was feeling uncomfortable there. None blushed or felt shame. Although they didn't want to admit it, the warmth of their bodies making contact was a nice feeling. They were lost in the eyes of the other and they could have spent all day like that if wasn't for the giggles that they started to hear around them. They turned their heads slowly and realized that close to them there were about 20 or 30 chicks, all with covering their beaks with their flipper to not laugh or their eyes, thinking that they were witnessing something… not suitable for them. Some other adults were there too, whispering things to each other. Only then they realized where they were: in front of an entire class!
Katherine looked at Mumble again and literally threw him away as she stood up. He landed hardly on his back, but he dissimulated it and stood up quickly too.
"Kids… listen … it's not what you think… don't tell this to your teacher, please…" Katherine quickly pleaded, but one chick pointed to something behind her.
"I think it already late for that" She felt a chills going through her spine as she and Mumble slowly turned around. There was a cave on that little cliff, and stood in the entrance of that cave, an elderly female penguin was staring at the penguins with disgust.
"FOR GUIN SAKE! What the heck do you think you are doing!" The older female shouted angrily "How you dare to bring that… practice to my sanctuary of innocence!"
"MRS. STRAUSS! I-I-It's not what you think…" Katherine said, but was cut by this Mrs. Strauss
"I believe what I see, and I saw that! I want a reasonable explanation NOW! I thought I told you that you couldn't bring boyfriends here to my school! To my sacred place!"
"Mrs. Strauss, he is not my… boyfriend… and we weren't doing what you think…"
"Mrs. Strauss… sir, d-don't blame her… i-i-it was my fault… well actually not, it was an accident… I…" Mumble interceded.
"Did I ask you for your opinion?"
"No, but…"
"Then… SHUT UP!" The old penguin teacher shouted angrily, making Mumble fall on his back "Miss. Katherine, you and me will talk in private" She said and pointed her cave.
"Yes, Mrs. Strauss…" Katherine answered and walked inside the cave, lowering her head and sighing. Then, the elderly penguin faced Mumble
"And when I finish with her, I don't want to see your pretty face around here, Ok?"
"But my son…"
"I said: I DON WANT TO SEE YOU! OK?" Strauss shouted again, scaring Mumble pretty much.
"Y-y-yes, M-m-mr-rs…" He muttered in respond, not able to contradict to this character.
"Huh… young ones… they think they can do what they want to do wherever they want… in my times, we didn't even wink to each other until we do the ritual… and we walked outside the territory only to smile at each other because we felt ashamed of doing it in public… that things had been lost and nobody cares… I should talk to Noah, he would…" And giving this History's lesson, the old teacher walked inside the cave until her voice wasn't heard anymore.
Mumble stayed stood in his place, incapable of moving due the shock of been rebuked by this teacher, until a tiny voice commented something.
"Mommy… is the new teacher Katherine going to have a baby?" A random female chick nearby asked to her mother and she simply didn't know what to answer. Mumble, before embarrassing himself even more, just waddled away as fast as he could. He would return later to speak with Kath when everything calm down a bit.
But he was only about ten meters away when a familiar voice stopped him.
"Yo, Mumble…" He knew this voice pretty well…
"Oh… shi…" He thought, turning around. The fat emperor penguin that he expected to find… was there.
"Hi, Seymour!" He greeted to his 'friend' "How are you doing, bro?"
"Well… I can't complain… and I guess you neither…" Seymour replied as he approached to Mumble "So… plannin' a change for next season?" He asked, winking an eye.
"I-I don't know what you are talking about…"
"Of course ya do… so you know seek for younger ones…" Seymour was making Mumble feel quite uncomfortable. It was obvious that he wanted to achieve something.
"I think you are confusing me with someone else…" Mumble try one last time (in vain) to avoid the issue, but Seymour grinned and spoke again.
"Ya know… I thought you gotta wait until your chick has a year before askin' the 'Deux paires'… I guess you 'n Kath didn't know…'" Mumble was really surprised for two reasons. One, Seymour had witnessed his awkward scene with Katherine; and two, that he had that kind of information. It was something that not many penguins knew, even some of the members of the council wasn't aware of that kind of things.
Mumble had received some training and lessons from Noah, since he was supposed to be the next patriarch. One of these lessons was about ancients laws. One of these laws was the Deux paires, or 'double couple'. It was a very antiquated law, created in the early days of the nation. This law states that a couple of penguins can separate for a period of time of one year, as long as their chick (if they have one) is old enough to swim and feed himself (approximately, one year), and that both of them agree to separate. During this period of separation, they are free to do whatever they want, even pairing up with someone else. After this period, they have to spend a year with their original couple before asking for another one year's separation. There isn't a definitive divorce in the emperor penguin's society. The penguins have five years, since they come to the world until they graduate, to socialize with other penguins and know each other. Once they chose a mate, it is for life. The Deux paires was created when there were a lot more death in the colony, due to the large number of predators that lived in the waters nearby, so it was needed that many chicks were made every years, even if that involves 'sharing' your mate. In that time, it was pretty common to see a male with several females and having chicks with all of them; it was kind of accepted because everyone understood (or better said, everyone believed) that the colony needed it. When the predators migrate to open sea and the icy islands, it wasn't necessary anymore, so it became almost useless.
Nowadays, it is very bad seen asking a Deux paires, but technically, it's still allowed to ask for it. Why? Because the law was establish by all the members of the High Council, The High Elders. All of them agreed to make that law and all of them have to agree to abolish it… and it's pretty had to make an entire council agree in something without a solid reason. Infidelity, even the legal one, doesn't exist in the modern Emperor-Land's society… and even if it exists, it does under the shadows, so anyone never knew of someone who had done that. It's ironic… they use that law of sharing mates to prevent infidelity, but there isn't a law to punish infidelity if it happens, even when it was considered a crime. So, if hypothetically, one of the mates cheated on the other, and the last one denounced it, what could the council do? Well… there is the banishment, yes; but if the couple has a chick, and they banish one of the two, they would doom it to death. Why has the son to pay for the sins of his parents? It was question that Mumble and Noah had discussed for months, without reaching an answer. Mumble was totally against of the Deux Paires, but Noah, even being the patriarch, had to accept the council's decision… and the counsel said 'If that law doesn't hurt anyone, why should we change it? Nobody uses it, anyways'
Now, who was accused of using that law, was Mumble…
"Seymour, I'm not going to change Gloria. It would be a hot day in Emperor-Land before I do that" He was pretty upset. He could stand some jokes, but that accusation was something that he wasn't going to tolerate. The funny thing was that, like Mumble and Gloria never did the singing ritual, they weren't technically and legally married.
"Well, in that case I supposed that ya'r not gonna have problems if I tell Gloria about your… scene…" Suddenly, all the anger of Mumble turned to worry
"No, no, no! Don't tell her! I-I swear that I… that I wasn't"
"I dunno friend… if I do that, I'd be betraying a good friend like Gloria…" Mumble noticed something in the voice of his friend. He was up for something.
"Ok… what do you want?"
"I guess that if Erik was here, Atticus would be happy… and if he was happy, my beak would be closed" Mumble smiled to Seymour's request.
"Dang! I knew that… wait… that's all? I only have to bring my son to play with yours and… that's it?" Mumble asked puzzled. He was waiting something more challenging.
"Yeah, that' the plan. Do you…?"
"Ok, deal!"
"Really?" Seymour was surprised. He thought that convincing Mumble would be a lot more complicated that a simple threat.
"Yeah, sure. Deal" In that moment, two chicks, one a bit short and one rather fat walked to the two males.
"Hi, pa" Erik greeted to Mumble.
"Hi son, did you find your friend?" Mumble asked, smiling at Seymour, who was with a what-is-happening-here's face
"I found Atticus, but I don't know where Bo is"
"Well, you can keep looking for her if you want. I haven't spoke to Katherine yet"
"Pa… come close…" Erik asked. Mumble bowed his head and the chick approached his beak to his ear.
"I need to go…" Erik whispered
"To go? Where?" His father whispered in replied.
"You know… go…" Then, Mumble noticed that Erik had both flipper crossed and pressing against his underbelly. Erik wanted to go to the 'bath'. Penguin's bath it's a zone in the colony where they all go to satisfy their necessities… and it is very, very far away from the square. So taking Erik there would take time.
"Son… can't you wait?"
"But pa!"
"At least until we sing."
"Ok, pa" Erik said and walked away.
"Good job, dad" Atticus said, winking at his father and following Erik, without noticing his friend's condition. Seymour, who was in awe, didn't say anything.
"Well pal, my part of the deal is done. Now, if you excuse me, I have to speak with Kath"
"Yeah… sure… she… ok…" Seymour muttered, not really knowing what to say. If he had known about Erik being there, he would have asked for another thing! Now it was late… he would have to keep his promise. He just sighed in defeat and walked away too.

With the chicks:
Erik and Atticus were looking for Boadicea in different classes, but they weren't able to find her. Atticus had suggested that they just went to a class to chat with others chicks and that Boadicea would appear eventually. But Erik had insisted in looking for her, thing that Atticus had found curious. Why this little penguin was so interested in being with his cousin? What motive he could have? Then they arrived to Mrs. Strauss' class. It was nice place, with snow accumulated on the floor. Between the square floor level and the classroom's floor there was a vertical gap that created a small cliff. There was where Strauss lived, in a small cave in the cliff, which wasn't very big; it was barely the double of a normal penguin height. For the chicks, of course, was very high.
"Woao… it'd be ugly to fall from there" Atticus commented, pointing to the 2,50 meters cliff from where Mumble had fallen an hour ago.
"But… where is Bo?" Erik asked.
"I dunno, Erik… but I need to talk to my dad. Wait me here, ok?" Erik nodded and Atticus walked away, leaving the little blue eyed chick alone. It didn't take long until Erik became attracted all the attention. His blue eyes made him quite famous and everyone knew he was Mumble's son because of that. Some chicks watched him surreptitiously, some… not so much. A group of maybe five female chicks was whispering things to each other and giggling. He was receiving too much attention. He just wanted to run away… to the bath actually. He didn't know how to dissimulate that he wanted to go. And then…
"Erik!" A sweet familiar voice called him. He try to turn around to face the owner of that voice, but before he could do that he found himself being hit with something (better say, by someone) and laying on the floor "You were looking for me, but I found you!" Erik opened his eyes only to find another pair of ambary brown staring at his… Bo's eyes…
"Bo?"
"Yeah! Who else?" She said, getting off of him "I have my revenge for that accident when we met!" She said and giggled. Erik only smiled to her… he couldn't be mad with her. He stood up and as soon as he was on his feet, Bo wrapped her flippers around him "I'm so happy that you came! This party would be really boring without my friend"
"T-t-thank… you…" Erik shyly replied, blushing hardly. Bo giggled again and released Erik.
"So, what do you want to do? Want to play something?"
"I… I don't know… my pa want me to sing with him…" Bo's eyes widened as a huge smile appeared in her face.
"You are going to sing?" Erik hesitated a bit, but finally nodded "Awesome! I-I-I mean… awesome!"
"But… I don't know if I can…"
"Why… why do you say that? If you are like my ma told me your pa is, I'm sure you will be awesome!" It was strange that Bo used that word three times. She wasn't very easy to impress.
"Because I'm scared… what if the other laugh… of me?"
"Erik… I will be in the audience, watching you. If you feel nervous and you can't pronounce the right words... remember that and sing, not for your father... but for me" She said, winking at him. Erik blushed but smiled. He began to feel a nice warm feeling in his heart.
"Ok Bo… my song will be for you" He replied. Bo was now who blushed madly. In his innocence, Erik didn't know that dedicating a song with those words was almost like a marrying proposal… Bo, on the other hand, did.
"Come on!" A male voice echoed through the class.
"He? Sing to you?" Another male voice added.
"You gotta be kiddin'!" The first voice spoke again. Boadicea recognized both voices.
"We will show you what a real singer is!" The second voice concluded
Suddenly, two chicks gave some steps out of the crowd. Both of them were like a generation older that Bo, Atticus and Erik.
"Markus… Mathos…" She whispered.
"Who?"
"Two stupid guys who think I'm crazy for them. They like to be call "M & M" and they had tried to make me sing with them since the day I born! They surely have a new song and they want to try with me again"
One of the big males suddenly hit the other with the penguin version of the elbow and started to sing…
Markus: Yes, I can see her
'Cause every girl here wanna be her…
Mathos: Oh! She's a diva
I feel the same and I wanna meet her
The song attracted the attention of every penguin chick there, so soon they were surrounding Erik, Bo and the two singers.
Markus: They say she low down (Mathos: It's just a rumor, I don't believe them)
They say she needs to slow down (Mathos: The baddest thing around town)
Boadicea was speechless! She didn't know how to react. She kind of liked the song, but the singers were other story. Erik, on the other hand, was feeling something that he had never felt in his short life. His blood was literally boiling due the rage he felt! He was… jealous? He was jealous and angry with those chicks? But why? They weren't doing anything wrong or stealing anything from him, so why he was feeling that way? He took a quick look at Boadicea's face. She had the face that girls have when they try to dissimulate that they like something. He read that from it pretty well and that made his anger increased.
M & M: She ain't nothing a girl you've ever seen before
Nothing you can compare to a neighborhood whole
I'm trying to find the words to describe this girl withoutbeing disrespect…
Both chicks finished their song abruptly when they noticed someone approaching.
"What the heck is happening here?" Atticus shouted, running out of the crowd and placing himself in front of Erik and Bo.
"This is not your business" Markus replied.
"Yeah! We were singing and if she stayed it's because she liked!" Mathos added.
"You two are jerks! You knew that?" Boadicea shouted from behind Atticus.
"Yeah, but you like jerks!" Mathos shouted in replied "That's why you listened to us"
"Yeah! When we start the kisses?" Markus added and both males laughed.
"Come on, Erik" Bo said, grabbing one of Erik's flippers "Let's get the heck out of here. They…" She just wanted to walk away, this wasn't funny anymore; but Erik had other plans. He roughly withdrew his flipper and began to walk toward Mathos and Marcus "Erik, where are you going!" Bo asked, but he didn't answer.
Erik was decided to do something. He passed Atticus, not listening his warnings, and faced those two bigger males.
"I want you to go and never come around here again!" He shouted. Everyone there gasped at his words.
"Excuse me?" Mathos asked.
"What did you say?" Markus said.
"You ask us to leave, fuzzball?" Mathos quickly added. Neither of them ever imagined what was going to happen.
Erik pressed a flipper against his crotch and raised the other. He remained in that position a few seconds and then he clapped his flippers.
"WOAO!" He shouted and pointed with both flippers at Mathos and Markus, who only looked at each other puzzled.
Erik: I told don't you ever come around here
I don't wanna see your face, you better disappear
The fire in my eyes and my words are pretty clear
So beat it… just beat it
Both chicks took a step back, the song was awesome! Erik was singing so well that many other males from the crowd had approached to him to be his back-up singers.
E: You better run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood? Well don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough? You better do what you can
So beat it… but you wanna be bad
Beat it! (Beat it!)
Beat it! (Beat it!)
No one wanna be defeated!
Showin' how funky and good is your dancer
It doesn't matter who's wrong or who's right
Just beat it!
Just beat it!
Mathos and Markus were totally outnumbered! They couldn't face Erik, he was way better that them. They only accepted their defeat and walked away, losing in the crowd. Atticus noticed this and took his chance to make his contribution.
Atticus: YEAH!
We're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a chick, you wanna me a male?
If you wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it… just beat it
Boadicea and Erik laughed. Atticus didn't sing badly, but he just sounded weird singing another thing that wasn't rap.
"Erik… YOU ARE AWESOME!" Bo shouted "And that position in the beginning… was just spectacular… and pretty bold too… I wasn't expecting something like that from you… I liked it" She finished giggling and smiling to Erik.
"T-t-thanks… B-Bo" Erik didn't want to do that 'position', but he was still struggling against his own body to keep his corporal liquids inside him… and he almost failed, but using his flipper, he bought some time "But the song didn't finish yet" He said, offering flipper top Bo.
"Erhm… Erik… could you give me… the other flipper?" Bo said. Erik realized that the flipper he was offering was the one which he had used to contain his needs, so he quickly withdrew it and offered the other. This time Bo accepted "Follow me!" She commanded and Erik obeyed. Both walked to the top of the cliff, like if it was a kind of stage. Everyone cheered at the couple.
"Would you like to help me finish this, Bo?" Erik asked.
"It would be a pleasure…" Boadicea replied, smiling.
Erik: You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no "Truth Or Dare"
Boadicea: They'll kick you, then they leave you,
then they'll tell you it's fait
So beat it… but you wanna be bad
E: Beat it! (Beat it!)
Beat it! (Beat it!)
No one wanna be defeated!
B: Showin' how funky and good is your dancer
It doesn't matter who's wrong or who's right
Just beat it!
Just beat it!

Meanwhile…
Mumble had some problems to find Katherine. She wasn't in the school or in her home, but Mumble had supposed that. He found her near the entrance of the territory. She was alone there, since everyone else was at the party. As he walked toward her, Mumble was thinking in how apologies with her and what to say after that. He had embarrassed her in front of her class in their first day as a teacher… and now he was going to ask her for a favor. It was an uncomfortable feeling.
"Hey… Katherine…" Mumble greeted when he was close to her. She turned her head a bit, just to see who was speaking.
"Hi Mumble, are you here to jump on me again?" She joked and giggled, returning her gaze to the front.
"No… I think I'm going to keep that for later" Mumble joked and giggled nervously too, as he placed himself at her side "Kath… did you and Strauss argued very much?"
"She fired me, Mumble…" She said as her face of happiness changed suddenly to one of sadness "She spoke with some parents and… and they decided that they couldn't have a girl who mated in front of her class as the teacher of their chicks"
"Oh… Kath I… I'm sorry… I…" Mumble knew that Katherine had wanted to be a teacher since she realized that that profession existed. It was her biggest dream. This was her opportunity to be that and Mumble had screw up everything. Penguin chicks' education it's a very important labor; if you are fired one time, it's very unlikely that you ever get another opportunity.
"Well…" She said, forcing a smile "I guess that now I'll have to start looking some handsome male for the next season… that's the only thing I can do now in benefit of the colony… seek for someone to make an egg…"
"Kath, the singing ritual is not an obligation. It's the opportunity to test your bond with your special one. You surely have a lot of close friends; maybe one of those friendships can be love"
"I don't have many friends… and I don't have any male friends of my generation… this work was my best opportunity to fit in our society and try to like people…" Unexpectedly, Katherine turned to Mumble and hugged him, resting her head on his shoulder. He wrapped his flipper around her body, knowing that it was what she needed in that moment "The closest friend I have it's you, Mumble… and sadly, you are already taken…" She whispered the last part, so Mumble didn't hear it.
"What are you going to do now?" Mumble asked. Kath broke the hug and directed her gaze to the colony.
"I'm going home… I just need to rest for a while"
"Are you mad with me… because I jumped on you?"
"Nah… it was like the song"
"The song? Which song?"
"You know… that one that it's like"
You can knock me down,
step on my face
slander my name all over the place
"Oh, yeah! I know it! And then it's like"
Do anything that you wanna do, but uh! Uh!
Honey, lay off of my foot.
They sang together the last verse.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede foot.
Both laughed nervously when they finished their song. Suddenly, a third penguin shouted from the distant.
"Mumble! Come quickly! It's your son!" Mumble immediately began to worry. Something related to his son? Did something happen to him? Was him ok? Would he have done something to other chick? Why the heck he didn't go to see what happened instead of asking these stupid questions?
"Kath, I have to go… but I promise that I'll talk to you later, ok?" He said.
"I understand, Mumble… now go, your family needs you more than I" Mumble nodded and waddled away. A black tear fell from Katherine's eyes as she turned around and walked toward her home.
Mumble had to make his way through the crowd by pushing penguins, apologizing later, of course. He soon began to hear something familiar.
Beat it! (Beat it!)
Beat it! (Beat it!)
No one wanna be defeated!
That were the lyrics of the song he had taught to Erik… so who was singing… was Erik? He began to follow that voice, but soon another one joined.
Showin' how funky and good is your dancer
It doesn't matter who's wrong or who's right
Just beat it!
Just beat it!
This was a female voice, possibly Boadicea. Mumble smiled… his son was singing with a girl at his short age. Finally, Mumble was able to reach where Erik was. He, indeed, was singing along with a female chick, but she didn't look like Bo…
"Son! You are AWESOME!" Mumble shouted, but Erik was too busy singing and he didn't hear him. Mumble then tried to approach to him, but when he was very close, he accidently stepped on half melted snow and he slipped. Everything turned out wrong… he fell and hit something fluffy with his head.
When he raised the head again, Erik had fell from the cliff and his head was stuck on the snow below. Feeling the cold of the snow in that way, Erik couldn't hold it anymore and his fluids spilled around him. The hell was unleashed.
Giggles, laughs, sniggers… all the chicks making fun of Erik.
The guilty?
Mumble…

Well, I hope you liked this.
It's actually truth what I wrote about the Deux Paires. The emperor penguins sometimes change their mates from one year to another, and they use to come back to the original one the next season (Unless it had died during the winter or he/she doesn't want to XD). This was just my Kevplanation B) (Kevin + explanation) and yes, I speak a bit of French, but only a few words that my grandma taught me… and I know how to say them, but not how to write them XD
I have the half the chapter 6 already written, so I don't think I'm going to take a long time to publish… maybe a month or something like that.
Just kidding XD it'll only take me 29 days
Read you soon ;)
