Kowalski's POV

After training, everyone was absolutely exhausted. Today, I was lucky enough to have a date with Doris. We decided to have dinner at her place because she knew the base would always be busy. Today was the day I was going to show her how much I loved her by giving her a promise ring to symbolise how I will never cheat on her.

"I've planned it all out." I said, chatting to Private for the third time today, "I'm going to wait until she's finished dinner and then ask her why she chose me. After she answers, I'll get down on one knee and give it to her." I was so excited, and immediately Private sighed, probably annoyed at hearing the same thing over and over again.

"Good luck then." He replied.

I quickly freshened up and slid my way over to her habitat. I was half an hour early, and thought I might as well surprise her. When I got to her habitat, I jumped up on the railing and what I saw broke my heart. Doris was kissing another dolphin. I forgot the other dolphin had moved in. I gasped and she turned around, face filled with horror. "Kowals-" she started but I shook my head, looking down at the railing.

"How long?" I asked quietly.

"Kowalski, I didn't-"

"How long?!" I shouted. Tears flowed down my cheeks, landing in the pool below me.

"Two weeks." She said, and then tried to swim over to me. I shook my head again and hastily jumped off of the railing, speeding back to base. She called after me but to me, it all sounded muffled. I reached the base and wiped my face, clearing the tears. Holding my head up high, I jumped down into the base. The others all smiled and nodded at my return but I could see Evelyn had a glint of concern in her eyes. I went into my lab and sure enough, she followed me in.

"What happened?" She demanded, shutting the door.

"None of your business." I replied and turned to finish off my invention.

She just strode right up to me and took the tools from my flippers. "You know, I may not know much and I haven't been here long, but I can tell that something is different, and this different is a bad different. So what happened, you were so cheery about going and now this?"

I looked down at my feet for a few minutes. She sighed and turned to leave. "She was cheating on me. With another dolphin." I whispered. Her footsteps stopped as she slowly turned to me.

"Oh Kowalski." She said and immediately gave me a hug. "She isn't worth your time then. I haven't been in a relationship but I do know, that if they cheat on you, there is no justification. Relationships are there to strengthen bonds and fellowships. If they can't do the basic act of keeping it in their pants, then they're not good enough for you. You deserve so much better." I nodded while she pulled back.

"Thank you, Eve. That helped a lot."

"Good, and also, hugs release oxytocin, which is a happy hormone. So you get double the benefits, oxytocin to make you feel better, and you get to realise that the dopamine you release when you think of Doris is not worth your time because dopamine has been found to be connected with love, as well as addiction, so love is basically an addiction!" She said, smiling. I laughed at her scientific and psychological explanation. As I turned back to fix my invention, I knocked it off the table and it hit the floor.

"Oh dear." I said, just as a bright light engulfed both of us and we screamed, holding on to each other. As the light faded, I saw that we had fallen on to the floor. A headache had started to form so I lifted by flipper up to massage my head. I noticed that instead of seeing a flipper, I saw a human hand. This caused me to scream and back away, until I realised, the hand was mine.

When I looked over at Eve, I saw that she was a pale girl, with brown hair that lay splayed out beneath her head. She wasn't wearing any clothes so I quickly covered her up with a blanket that I had under my desk, grabbing one for myself in the process. As I covered her body, I almost fainted. Blood dripped from a gash on her head. Passed out, she didn't even respond when Skipper kicked the door down. Luckily, I pulled us out of the way just in time, or else the heavy door would have crushed us both.

"What's happened here, who are you?" Skipper yelled in my face.

"Skipper, it's me, Kowalski. My invention got knocked off of the desk and it went off."

"Are you a spy? Tell me something that only Kowalski would know." He glared at me and I whispered in his ear one of our secrets.

A blush came over his face but he shook his feathers and put on a straight face. "Okay, you're not a spy. Now, how long will it take for you to change back?"

"I don't know, I need to figure out how it happened. But first, we need to help Eve, she's hurt." I handed her body to Rico and he gently took her through to the living room. (A/N. Look they're small humans, put it that way. Basically the penguin's size but in human form) "I'm sorry Skipper. This shouldn't have happened. If I had just moved further away…" I shook my head and buried it in my hands.

He patted me on the shoulder. "What's done is done, soldier. Now you just have to fix it." He started to leave and I laughed. He turned back and looked at me incredulously.

"Your feathers are soft."

He glared and rolled his eyes at me before leaving the room."Well, you look like you're in a boy band." He replied, mockingly.

Evelyn POV

Everything was so bright as I woke up. I groaned and I could hear someone rush over. "Eve, wake up." I groaned again, hiding my face in the pillow and bringing my flipper up to cover my face. When I touched my face, I felt something smooth, rather that the usual feathers that covered me. I slowly opened my eyes and immediately began to hyperventilate as I saw a human hand right in front of me. Marlene came into my vision and sat down on the sofa with me. "Breathe, Eve. Breathe with me. When you calm down, I'll explain it to you." She said and I responded, taking deep breathes at the same pace she did.

After a few minutes, I had control over my breathing again. "Good. Now, what happened was, Kowalski knocked over his invention and it accidently went off. It turned you both into humans. Don't sit up, you hit your head on one of his desks and also, you're naked." My eyes widened and a blush crept across my face. Reaching up, my scarred hand came into my view and I wiggled my fingers. I laughed and lifted my other hand up and did the same thing. Marlene chuckled along with me, but we both stopped as soon as the hatch opened.

"Eve!" I could hear Private yell and I saw his black and white form tumble over the sofa, landing on my lap. I grunted slightly but gave him a hug nonetheless. Giggling, he poked my small breast through the blanket. "Skippah, she has squishy things on her chest."

"Private, don't touch those! They're one of her private parts!" Kowalski said sounding flustered. I saw a tall lanky man come into view and I swear my jaw dropped. He had brown floppy hair that all girls would fall for. His eyes were a brilliant blue,as blue as the ocean, and he wore a smart white shirt with a black vest and red tie, and black trousers with black oxfords.

"Marlene, why is she staring at me like that?" Kowalski's voice came out of the man's mouth and I gasped.

"Kowalski, is that you?" I asked, flabbergasted at his appearance.

"Do I have something on my face?" He frantically reached up, touching his face. Skipper slapped him on the back of the head. "Ow!"

"Just hand her the clothes." Skipper ordered.

Private placed the folded clothes on my chest and grinned at me. I nodded, smiling as he jumped off of me. They all left except for Kowalski. He was just staring at me. "Um, Kowalski, you okay?"

He shook his head, his hair flopping from side to side. "Yeah, sorry. I was waiting to see if you needed help getting up." I smiled at him and nodded before standing up. I was shaking like a leaf, not only because of the cold, but also because I was unsteady on my longer legs. "You'll get used to them." He replied and helped me to the bathroom by holding onto my waist. "Just call me when you're done."

I dropped the blanket and quickly changed into the underwear and baby blue trousers but didn't know how to operate a piece of clothing that had buckles and two circular shapes. "Kowalski, what's this?" I asked, unlocking the door but hiding myself behind it, as I passed him the clothing. He suddenly became flustered, a blush appearing on his cheeks.

"Well… Um… that's… that's a bra. It holds your… um your breasts, which are the squishy things on your chest." He said, taking the bra and placing it across his chest to demonstrate. I thanked him and took the bra back, before locking the door once more.

I figured out after many attempts how to fasten it and then put on the black t-shirt that had an image of a penguin on it. After putting on some socks and white sneakers, called "converse", I finally looked at myself in the mirror. I had brown hair down to just under my breasts, emerald green eyes and a light pink scar running across my right eyelid. The clothes fit me quite well, although the shirt was a little tight for my taste. It hugged me sides and I saw that I had quite a small waist and chest. The trousers, however, hugged me in the hips and flared at my ankles. I took a deep breath before realising that Kowalski was still waiting for me outside.

I opened the door and held my arm out to Kowalski. He paused for a couple of seconds. "Kowalski, can I have something to drink?" Suddenly, he snapped out of it. He took my arm and helped me to walk to the kitchen. What was up with all his staring?

Hi everyone! I'm not dead, YAY! Okay, so firstly, I'm really sorry for not updating in about... 2 years? I don't really have an excuse because school isn't very good. However, I recently discovered an email from Fanficiton, you know, one of those "_ favourited your story, _". I realised that people still read these stories, and for that, I'm really grateful. Currently, I am trying out a single story line format for several chapters, but it'll end up not just being about Skipper and Marlene, but also about Eve and Kowalski as well as the romances between other characters as well! Thanks everyone who stayed faithful to this story and I promise I'll try to update more. Hope you enjoyed this chapter, I don't know when I'll finish the next part. Thanks!
