Okay. I've got another chapter up. Last time I looked, which was just a few minutes ago, this story has sixty-one views and I have only eight votes on the poll and half of them don't even count! I also don't have anyone taking the story for me. Enjoy this chapter.

It was only the second day since DB had found out about Hunter coming. He was currently sparring with Striker. They had been going at it all day. DB got pinned. "Again. I get pinned."

"Ya. I don't think the training is helping." Striker helped him up. DB then dodged a sneak attack from Striker. "Well, at least you were ready for that."

"Hey. Scout motto is be prepared. And the founder said they need to be prepared, and I quote, 'For any ole' thing.' And, that's exactly whay I was." He then stepped back, dodging an attack by Kowalski. "See?" He then ducked under Skipper, caught a sledge hammer being swung by Rico aand side stepped Private.

"I guess you are prepared for surprise attacks. But, are you prepared for a space squid attack?"

"Yes. There are actually only two things I'm not prepared for. That's an asteroid coming from nowhere and crashing into the earth and a star exploding from not too far away and sending gamma radiation towards earth, completely incinerating it."

"Are you sure that's the only two things you aren't prepared for?"

"Yes. One hundred percent sure. I'm even prepared for a bird to come flying out of nowhere and running into me." He then side stepped such event.

The bird stood up, revealing itself to be Kitka. "That was a rough landing."

"Hey, Kitka. How are ya doing? Been three days sine we last seen you, correct?"

"Yes. I was just coming to talk to Skipper, perhaps in private?"

"Sure. Come into the HQ." Skipper and Kitka went down the hatch and DB was nervous.

"Gotta go!" He quickly left, leaving behind three confused penguins and a worried badger.

inside the HQ

Cupid left to the lab to give Skipper and Kitka privacy. The two didn't notice a slight crack in the prize catch entrance and a penguin looking through it. "So, what did you want to talk about?"

Kitka was obviously nervous. "Well, you see. I think you may have broke it off too early."

DB's eyes widened from behind the entrance. "What do you mean?"

"i mean, I still have feelings for you. I also felt a little jealous of that otter."

"Marlene? Why would you be jealous of her? We're not dating anymore, anyways, so you have no reason to get jealous."

"I know, but I still love you. Please, Skipper, give us another chance."

DB felt someone tap him on the shoulder. He turned to see Marlene. He put a flipper in front of his beak to tell her to be quiet. "What are you doing here?" She made sure to ask too quiet for the two in the HQ to hear.

"I'm watching to see how this plays out." Marlene looked through the crack to see Skipper and Kitka kissing. She began to tear up and run off, but DB stopped her. "It may not be what we think. Let's just keep watching."

The two looked back and the two had stopped their kiss. "That's just how I remember."

"So, will you come back?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't."

"You're in love with the otter, aren't you?"

"WHAT!? N-no. Of course not. She's a mammal and all mammals are morons!" At that statement, Marlen jumped out of the tunnel. "Marlene!? What are you doing here?"

"All mammals are morons, huh!?" She slapped his face hard enough to knock him down. "You know what, I think you're the moron! You know what, next time you need something, don't come to me!" She then stormed out of there.

"What the duece just happened?"

The others jumped down from the hatch. "Skipper, what happened?"

Cupid burst out of the lab. "I heard yelling. What happened?"

Everyone was looking between the opened entrance from the prize catch tunnel, Kitka, Skipper, and DB. Skipper got up and said, "I was wondering the same thing."

Everyone looked then to Kitka, who just shrugged, then to DB. He sighed. "Okay, I have been trying for a while to get Skipper to realize-or admit- his feelings for Marlene, which he does have. Marlene had revealed her feelings for Skipper to me a little while ago."

Three of the penguins laughed. Kowalski was the first one to calm down enough to speak. "Skipper? In love? Come on. He says that love only blinds the senses. He would never llet love get to him."

DB crossed his flippers. "did he fall in love with Kitka?"

"Yes, bu-"

"Did he not tell you of when he said he had a perfect day and met the perfect girl?"

"He did, bu-"

"did he not get married?"

"Yes, but they got a divorce."

"Annulment, not divorce."

"Skipper, a divorce and annulement are basically the same thing. The difference is that an annulement shows that it never happened, which is the only difference. Anyways, my point is, he did fall in love, so, what's to keep him from falling in love again?" They were silent. "Exactly. Also, Skipper's denial of love just shows he's in love with her. I'll try to get her to come back."

"I'm not in love!"

"skipper. You are not the kind to ever admit your feelings. Those who are lie that will deny strongly when they are asked about being in love, like you did." DB then bellyslid down the tunnel.

"Just great. I hurt the feelings of someone close to me."

"you know, if she doesn't come around, I'm still here." Kitka batted her eyelashes.

"Kitka, please leave. I no longer love you."

Marlene's habitat

DB knocked on the cave entrance as he walked in. "Marlene?"

Marlene turned towards the entrance. It was obvious she had been crying. "Oh. Hey DB."

"Hey. I was coming to see how you're doing."

"Well, i just found out that the person I'm in love with thinks I'm a moron."

DB sat next to her and put his flipper around her. "Look. Skipper has troubles expressing his feelings and that sometimes leads him to saying things he doesn't really mean. Just like with calling all mammals morons. That would be more used for Julien or the gorillas."

"Then why did he use it when he denied his feelings for me?"

"He is the kind of penguins who doesn't easily let people see his feelings. So, when someone questions his feelings for someone, he will quickly put it down that he is not in love. When it is as direct as that, he will say things he doesn't intend to say, such as calling you a moron. I promise you he is in love with you."

"Are you positive?"

"Look, I've almost never been more sure of anything before in my life. I would bet just about everything that I have that he's in love with you. Just go to him. He'll apologise."

"no need for her to come to me." They both looked up and only seen skipper in the shadows.

"I'll leave you two alone." DB bellyslid out of the cave, but stopped just outside. He then snuck back in to see how it would all play out.

Skipper stepped out of the shadows. He had a bouquet of flowers. "i'm sorry for what I said about you, Marlene. I really didn't mean to call you that. I usually reserve that term to Ring-tail or the gorillas."

Marlene chuckled. "DB said the same thing."

Skipper held a small smile. "Look, I do love you. i just didn't want to admit it because I was afraid of what would happen to you if any of my enemies were to find out. Will you-" He couldn't finish his sentence, because Marlene had pulled him into a passionate kiss. DB left as soon as he seen them kissing. When Marlene released, Skipper finished his sentence, "-forgive me? I guess that answers my question."

"Yes it does. Will you forgive me for what I said to you?"

"You had every right to after what I said."

"What about that mark I left on you?" She gently touched his face where she hit him, making him wince. It was still red.

"I deserved it. But, don't expect me to knock whenever I enter, unless it's not something important."

"could you at least say my name before you enter, so I have a bit of a heads up?"

"I'll try to do that."

"Good. I'll try to give you a knock before I enter your base."

"You can barge in anytime you like without knocking. Well, I'll go let the others know how it went."

"alright." She gave him a kiss on the cheek she didn't slap him. In return, he grabbed her, dipped her, and gave her a big kiss on the lips. He then set her up and slid out.

HQ

When Skipepr reentered the HQ, Kitka had left, but Mama Duck had come. All the occupants of the table smiled as he entered. "Why are all of you smiling?"

"Well, after I left, I had reentered long enough to see how things went." Skipper began to blush. "don't worry. I didn't see too much. I just seen enough to have blackmail."

Skipper's blush turned into a cocky smile. "Why would you have blackmail, when I'm not ashamed that me and Marlene kissed? Three times."

DB's jaw practically hit the floor, as did the other penguins. Striker just shrugged. "Well, guess I don't have any blackmail. I only knew of the first kiss. That is when I left. Course, I could tell the rest of the zoo about it. Using that as blackmail."

"Go ahead and do it. I won't mind."

"Great. No blackmail what-so-ever. Thanks a lot, Skipper." Skipper just smirked. "Well, I'm gonna go get some air."

"I will too." DB and Johnathan left.

They both went into the park. DB started punching a random tree until it fell. Fred poked his head out of the hole in his tree. "Hey, what did that tree ever do to you?"

"Oh, hey Fred. I was just taking out my aggression about something else and I decided to use the one thing that wouldn't scream in pain."

"Wel, how do you know that tree didn't have feelings?"

"This is giving me a major headache. I'm just going to the city and take my aggressions on vehicles." DB and johnathan left.

A few minutes later, a car alarm sounded and a guy yelled, "MY CAR!"

Okay, next chapter we'll get to see Hunter. Also, I really couldn't resist throwing in that guy yelling about his destroyed car. Now, since I have recieved no one to take the story, I will offer a one-shot to whoever is the first to accept doing it. It can be about whatever you want it to be about, except yaoi or yuri, incest or anything M rated. It can be for whatever you want it to be about(i.e. POM, KFP, Hetalia, etc.) except one of those shows that I listed as one of my least favorites on my profile or Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. If this doesn't work, I'll resort to begging. Review!
