Normal POV

Savio, Hans, and Ocean approached the door leading into the penguins HQ. They smirked at each other and slowly opened the door. Quietly they stepped into the dark HQ and looked at the four sleeping penguins. The two puffin siblings prepared to grab one penguin each while Savio the other two. Hans silently counted backwards.

When he reached one, the three villains pulled the four penguins out of their beds. Ocean held her dagger out, Hans got into a fighting position, and Savio held the two in his grip. They all had smirks on their faces, only for them to fall as they realized that the penguins were stuffed toys.

Ocean picked up the one she grabbed, "What gives?"

"You're guess is as good as mine sis." Hans answered.

The lights suddenly turned on, temporarily blinding them. In that small time to took for their eyes to adjust, two penguins tackled and tied up the two puffins and trap Savio in a glass cage.

Skipper stood in front of them, "Well, well, what do we have here? Three intruders and not just any intruders. Hans, Savio, and Ocean."

"But-but how did you-?" Hans sputtered.

"A little birdy told us about your little plan ahead of time."

"Another penguin to be exact." Private added.

"Oh and we didn't forget about your other little friend."

Kowalski and Rico kicked open the door with a tied up Clemson. They threw him on the floor, "But... Who did you-?"

"They had a spy." Savio scowled.

"Oh come on! Can't we win for once!?"

"No can do lemur," Skipper replied, "We commando penguins don't go down without a fight. Now to send you all back to the dark cesspool you call home... Hoboken."

The villains glared at the penguins the whole way back to the area where transfers arrive or leave. Along the way, they were humiliated as the animals laughed at them. Ocean growled, "Heads will roll."

Clemson rolled his eyes as Julien, Maurice, and Mort celebrated and made faces at him. By chance, he saw two figures atop the zoo wall watching them. He made out both as Red and Sara. Realizing Sara was watching, Clemson blushed with embarrassment glad that his red fur covered it up.

Dangling her feet over the edge, Sara thought over any flaws in her own little plan to contradict Blowhole's. She was confident that the penguin spy wouldn't tell the others exactly how he acquired the dolphin's plan, not that they would believe him. But there could've been security cameras that recorded them or maybe a stray lobster who happened to be there.

"You're a real worry wart, you know." Dark commented.

"Well y-you never know. I-I mean we could've go-gotten caught." Brainiac muttered.

She rolled my eyes with annoyance and sighed.

Red noticed, "Something wrong?"

"No. Nothing wrong." She replied out of habit.

"Come on. What is it?"

Silence.

"It's about whether to stay or leave isn't it?"

"... Yeah. I still haven't decided. I wanna stay but... I don't wanna leave my family behind. Or my friends."

"Better hurry and make a decision. Once Blowhole finds out the plan was a failure, it's do svidaniya for you."

"Yeah, I know. Ugh, I wish this wasn't a hard decision."

Suddenly, a voice called out her name. She shrugged it off, thinking she was just hearing things, but heard it again.

"Erm, Sara. Who is that?" Red asked, pointing behind them.

Turning around, Sara saw someone she wasn't expecting to see so early, "Mom!?"

On the other side of the wall, a woman practically in tears was staring up at them, "Sara, get down from their before you hurt yourself!"

Being an obedient child, Sara climbed down a nearby tree. When she watched the ground, she was pulled into a tight hug by her crying mother, "I can't believe it! I found you! I found you my baby!"

"Mom let go! I can't breathe!"

She let Sara go, "I'm sorry. It's just that I've missed you so much."

"Really? I couldn't tell," Sara replied sarcastically, "How did you find me?"

"When you're psychiatrist told us you wanted to know what happened over the summer, but couldn't retrieve your memories, I realized there was one place you could've gone. It was a long shot at first, but I had to make sure. Call it a mother's intuition."

Sara groaned, "Hooray for mother's intuition."

She either didn't hear or ignored, but instead started pulling her away, "Come on. We're going."

"Going? Going where?"

"Well where do you think? We're going home."

Childish cheered, "Yay! We're going home!"

"Aw, but I wanted to stay longer." Fangirl pouted.

Sara ignored them, "N-now?!"

"Of course now. We've all been worried sick about you."

Brainiac smiled, "You see, they do care."

Dark scoffed, "Yeah right. She's obviously lying."

Sara stayed silent as her mother went on about what had happened over the week. Mostly of the family setting up missing ads, searching through the city and even neighboring ones, and checking in with the police. She heard Dark make a comment about most if it not even being true.

As she was pulled along, Sara saw Red following them through the trees. Seeing him reminded her of how much she wanted to stay and not leave. To break free from the chains of her old life and enjoy an entirely new one. Determination to tell her mother off boiled inside, but no such thing happened. She stayed quiet, just like she always is. When they reached the end of the park, Red watched as the two females got into a cab. Looking back one last time, Sara mouthed, 'I'm sorry.'

And she was gone.

Red slumped, realizing that she had left them again. He turned around and headed back for the zoo. Sneaking in to find the others was easy once the penguins left for their habitat, but finding them was a bit tricky. Apparently, they were placed in separate boxes all transferring to the Hoboken Zoo. Red knocked on boxes looking for them and helped them out once he did.

Hans and Ocean were placed in the same one not to far from Clemson's tiny one. Savio's wasn't hard to find, it was getting him out that was a problem. By placing the entire glass cage in the box, any openings were blocked. The only way out was to break the glass, which Hans successfully did with karate chop.

"Well," Savio started as he slithered out, "That certainly didn't go as planned."

"I can't believe we lost... Again." Ocean complained.

"Don't worry sis. We'll get them one day. And it won't be pretty."

Clemson noticed Red's sullen look, "What's the matter Red?"

Red sighed, "She's gone."

"Who?"

"Sara. She left."

"What!? What do you mean she left?"

"I mean her mother found her and took her away! She's gone. Leaving New York."

Clemson couldn't believe it. Just when they make up AGAIN, she's leaving. Why did it always happen that way? Hans noticed Clemson's sadness, "Don't worry Clemson. There are other fish in the sea."

"I don't like fish," he snapped, "She wasn't even an animal."

"It's just an expression. I'm... Sure she'll be back."

Clemson sighed, "I hope so."

Childish: Guess who turned 17 two weeks ago!

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up...! Anyway! It's short for a reason. If I add more I'll ruin the ending. That's right! One more chapter! Probably a long one to make up for this short one.

Childish: Aw it's almost over already?

Dark: Not that anyone cares. You stopped getting reviews and you know what that means. People are losing interest!

I got a few reviews! Btw, blame Fangirl for the serious lack of updates. She found a little thing called RPG. To make it worse it's in an entirely different fandom.

Fangirl: *staring at the screen waiting for a message* Why is no one on! Diego and Honey need to hurry up and get to the others before the pirates attack them!

... Yeah. For those who are actually still reading this thing, enjoy!

Fangirl: Screw it, I'm making the pirates attack! *starts typing*

*sighs*
