"! Maurice! Look! My JJJ!" Maurice turned to the king. "Don´t you mean JJ?" "No, I already have a JJ. Julian Junior." And this is…" "Julian Junior Junior!" He said pointing to Private, Rico and Blue. Blue was happily skipping alongside Private, talking free fully. He seemed happy and content. "I don´t have any siblings. My uncle and Aunt moved away and never come for a visit. And my grandparents-" Blue stopped, looking at a cloud. "I-I have to do something real quick. Just go back and I´ll catch up!" Blue then disappeared into the park. Private looked like he was about to say something. Rico turned his head up. "Uh-oh!" The sky had turned black. "Oh dear."
Blue greeted the mother duck with a friendly smile as she hurried her little ones to the shelter. He stepped out of sight inside a big, hollow tree. His smile vanished. Just then a flash appeared and two lemurs floated above him. "Finally! I´ve waited sooo long for you." One of the lemurs, the green one, huffed. "Is that the way to greet your uncle?" Blue rolled his eyes. "Good morning, uncle." "Good day to you, Blue. You- Blue. Hahaha! That just rhymed! Ain´t I good, Martha?"
"Yeah, you´re good, Ted. In making a fool outta yourself!" The purple lemur said. Ted murmured something. Blue snapped them back to their attention. "Hey, guys. I´ve got good news. Remember when you said I should find someone easy to control and fool?" "Yeeaano. Your dad said that." Ted found glares on him. "I found someone. His name is-"
"Private! What do you mean he left you?" "He said he´s gotta do something." Skipper shook his head, then slapped Private. "He could be hurt right now! Kidnapped, tortured, dying or dead." "Hey guys! What´s going on?"Four heads shot up. "Blue!" "What do you want, flathead." Skipper gave Blue a death glare who just walked up to Kowalski and gave him another gut punch. Hard. Kowalski gave a muffled gasp, and fell over, wheezing. He then coughed up blood. "Oopise. Oh well. Big deal."
Blue walked to the refrigerator. Skipper glared at Private. "Why are you glaring at me?" "You´re responsible for him." "Why me?" "Because you're the guy who thinks all can be worked out if nice. You´ve been nice to him. And now look." Skipper jerked his head towards Kowalski who still is choking and whimpering quietly with Rico beside him. "Are you saying this is my fault?" Private shouted. "Yes! If only you would let me handle this demon, this wouldn´t have happened!" Private stared at Skipper. Blue walked over to the two. "What´s going on? I hate yelling, so stop." Skipper shook. "OUT OF HERE!" He screamed. Blue jumped back. "I was just asking." He said quietly, sending wrong pangs of guilt into Skipper´s chest. He rushed out, not before giving everyone big eyes and a look that said: "I´m innocent. I would never hurt anybody. Why are you treating me like this?"-look.
Private was about to follow him. "Blue…" He stopped when he felt Skipper´s flipper resting on his shoulder area. "Kowalski needs help." Skipper said in a voice that let the young rookie know that he´s not going anywhere.
"That certainly doesn´t look good." The vet said, shutting the X-ray down. "So, is he going to die or what?" Alice said, looking at the hurt penguin. "Probably. That is maybe. How on earth could he get that injury?" The vet and Alice both looked over to the other penguins. Alice narrowed her eyes. "An old assistant told me that three older penguins bullied the small one right here. Gosh, they ´re worse than chickens." Skipper glared at Alice. The two then walked out. "Rico!" The weapon expert had already the lock open. Skipper, Rico and Private gathered around Kowalski. "Soldier! Speak to me, man!" "Urgh, what Skipper?" The other slurred. "Where am I?" "At the hospital. You took quite a punch." Kowalski looked like he was still waking up. "Oh yeah, Blue." Skipper helped the scientist sit up. "If I ever catch that….that-" "Skippah, Blue is still a kid. Don´t be so hard on him. If you give me one more chance to try and change him,-" "We´ll be all dead."
His leader replied unemotionally. Private looked desperately at the older penguin. "Please-" "No! Don´t you get it? Blue is not just some little, spoiled brat that has some good buried deep in him! He almost killed Kowalski!" "If it was Mort we were talking about, you wouldn´t be so hard! The truth is, you hate Blue." "You only noticed it now?" Private slowly stepped back. "At least there is one of us who still has a heart." "Soldier-" Private turned around and slid away. Skipper turned back to the others. He tried to say something but then also just walked away.
Private walked through the empty park, kicking stones and anything else that got in his way. "Skipper is so mean. Poor kid probably had a shock." The young penguin was too angry to admit that what Blue had done wasn´t really that saint-like.
Suddenly, Private heard crying. He saw Blue up ahead, sobbing into his tail. "Blue!" Private slid over to him. The lemur obviously didn´t want the other to see his face. "What´s the matter?" "I´m a horrible person." Blue said. "No, you´re not." "I am! Skipper seems to think that." "Don´t listen to Mr. Grumpy. He doesn´t know you." Private went over to hug him, not seeing the shadows that sneaked up from behind. "No. You don´t know me, dear Private." Blue´s voice suddenly had a evil twist to it. "Huh?" Blue turned, smirking deviously. Private felt something hard hit against the back of his head, then everything went black. Blue jumped up. "That was great guys! Perfect timing!" Ted picked up the unconscious penguin as the three lemurs started moving. "Stage one: Completed." Martha said. Blue laughed evilly. "Stage two: Trap." Martha sighed and looked at Ted. "The boy´s learning." Was the response. Unbeknownst to them two pairs of curious eyes were watching.
