The penguins all jumped when the newbie started screeching loudly. "NO! GET AWAY FROM ME YOU FAT, UGLY SPACE PIGEONS! YOU´RE NOT GOING TO GET MY BRAINS! EAT SOMEONE ELSE´S!" Then he started running around the HQ. Private tried to catch him, but failed. So did Kowalski and Skipper. Rico coughed a cowboy hat and lasso. The hat landed on his head, covering one of his eyes and the lasso in his flippers. He swung it over his head before letting go. The rope floated through the air and tightened around the boy´s sides, tying his arms down as well. "Got ´im."
The lemur started kicking and yelling all over again. Private waddled over to him. "Calm down." He said with a friendly smile. "We´re not going to hurt you." The kid slowly stopped and looked at Private. The fear was suddenly replaced by something else. Something Private couldn´t recognize, but it made him fell a bit uneasy. Pushing the thoughts away, he untied the rope and offered his flipper to show he´s really not going to hurt him. The other hesitated before accepting the wing.
He brushed himself off before facing the others with a slightly annoyed expression. "You penguins are my new babysitters? Why didn´t you say so?" Skipper studied the child. He was a ring-tailed lemur like Julian, but there was something unusual. He had a blue where it was supposed to be black. Around his eyes, his tail rings, hands and feet. "Hell-o! Flat guy." Skipper looked up. "I´m hungry. Do you have something to eat? I´m starving! What kind of babysitters are you?" "Rico has some fish in his gut-" Private began but was cut off as he watched the lemur elbow Kowalski in the stomach. "!" Kowalski gasped, falling over.
"Oh wrong one. Maybe that guy. He must have a lot of food in his stomach." The kid pointed to Skipper who growled quietly at the insult. Rico quickly coughed up the fish, so he won´t end up with the same fate like Kowalski. The child took it and started munching away. Halfway through the fish he said "My nhame´s pflue." "Pflue?" Skipper asked. The other swallowed then said, "Blue! Are you deaf or something? You probably are. You don´t even have any ears!" "Look, Blue," Skipper started. "There certain rules that we put up here. You gonna have to follow them if-" "Hey what does this do?" Blue interrupted, holding up a flamethrower (surprised?). "No don´t touch that!" Kowalski shrieked. Blue dropped it and covered his ears. "Ouch. What are you, a girl or something?" Skipper grabbed Blue and glared at him.
"You´ll either do as we say, or you´ll go back to where you´ve come from!" Blue stared at Skipper for a couple of seconds before bursting into tears. "No! Please! Don´t send me back, my parents HATE me! They beat me and…" Private pushed his leader aside. "Now look what you have done, Skippah. Let me handle this." Private waddled over to Blue and put his comforting flipper around him. "Don´t cry, Blue. Of course we won´t send you back. But Skippah is right, you´ll have to listen to us. Okay?" Blue nodded. Private beamed.
"Alright then. Everything´s alright. Here, why won´t we take a tour around the zoo?" Blue nodded happily and followed the penguin out. Rico decided to join them. "Something tells me that we´re going to have trouble with this kid." Kowalski murmured. Skipper looked at him. "My gut, soldier."
