Hey, this is the last chapter with Private as such a young chick. :( It be to long if I did more...

Kookiebites13: Wow, thats cool! Its a great lesson. Yes Private is a natural, he's just that cute!And ya, Alex, Marty, Gloria, and Melman are still at the zoo, and the lemurs are (sadly) still in Madagascar.

Aquade: Thanks for the reveiw! No Johnson isn't going to hurt Private, Johnson may not like him, but he won't hurt him.

Enjoy!


"Stupid baby penguin, now I need to bring more fish." Alice muttered as she fed them.

"Private is not stupid!" Skipper shouted at her, of course all she heard was a bunch of squawks.

"Oh stop your squawking!" She shouted as she threw a fish at Skipper. [AN: She is an awful zoo keeper!] The fish missed Skipper and went into Rico's open beak.

"Ta da!" Rico said putting his wings up. This sent Private into a fit of giggles as the others clapped. Private looked at the others and clapped as well.

"Nice one Rico." Johnson said patting the psycho back.

" 'Ank ou, 'ank ou." Rico said bowing, Private started to laugh agin.

"Cooche cooche cue." Kowalski cued as he tickled Private, making him laugh harder.

"Isn't he the cutest thing Johnson?" Manfredi asked his friend.

"Ya, sure." He said looking kind a distracted.

"Johnson?" Manfredi asked looking confused.

"Wha-? um One minute Manfredi." Johnson said. "Skipper can we talk?"

"Sure thing solider." Skipper said waddling over.

"Privately." Johnson said, Skipper nodded his approval. They went into the HQ.

"What is it Johnson?" Skipper asked looking and Johnson with a curious expression.

"It's about Private." Johnson said, Skipper raised a nonexistent eyebrow but motioned for him to continue. "I think we should send him to a different zoo."

"And why is that?" Skipper asked.

"We're a group of highly trained operatives!" Johnson shouted, "My gut says it's a bad Idea! The kid could distracted us, get us killed!"

"Johnson, he's just a chick, and when he grows up he could be a valuable member of the team." Skipper said, "And my gut says it's a good idea. Besides, I like the little guy."

"We don't need a new member of this team." Johnson growled.

"This is my team. And as long as I'm in charge, I make the decisions." Skipper said, his voice getting low. Any one who knew Skipper well would know, it's not when he shouts you need to be worried, it's when he lowers his voice.

"Yes sir." Johnson said, with a glare. I thought Skipper of all penguins would understand. Johnson thought.

Back on top, Private just realised Skipper wasn't there.

"Dada, Dada, Dada?" Private said looking around.

"Who's Dada?" Kowalski asked.

"I'm guessing Skipper." Mafredi said, "Johnson doesn't like him that much."

"Dada, Dada, Dada." Private said again, now starting to tear up.

" 'Y?" Rico asked.

"I have no idea." Manfredi answered.

"Let's go find (Snicker) Dada." Kowalski said trying not to laugh, He picked up Private who was starting to Cry. "Shhh, it okay we're going to find Dada."

"Skippers in the HQ." Manfredi said, Kowalski nodded and went down the ladder.

"Um, 'Ipper?" Rico said awkwardly, interrupting the glaring mach between Johnson and Skipper.

"Yes?" Skipper asked, a litter harsher then he intended.

"Dada!" Private squealed, now struggling to get out of Kowalski's Grip. Skipper walked over and took Private from Him.

"That." Manfredi said.

"Care to explain?" Skipper asked, now holding Private, who was snuggled in to his feathers.

"Private started, saying 'Dada, Dada, Dada.' And we guessed he ment you." Kowalski explained, "For some reason he has selected you as his father."

"Well we need to make him a crib." Skipper said. "Kowalski, get started on that, Johnson, make sure he doesn't blow some thing up."

"Kaboom?" Rico asked, jumping up and down.

"No Rico, no Kaboom." Manfredi said.

"Sir I still need some supplies." Kowalski said.

"Alright then, Me, Kowalski, Rico, and Johnson will go find the supplies." Skipper started, "Manfredi, you have a nephew, your on Chick sitting duty."

"Alright sir." Manfredi said taking Private from Skippers flippers.

"Dada?" Private asked looking up.

"Um- Daddy has to go for a bit. But I'll be right back. Be a good little soilder for Mafredi." Skipper said, hoping for the best.

"Don't worry, I got an idea." Manfredi said, turning on the T.V. he put on a kids show called the Lunacorns. Private was interested and distracted right away.

" 'is s 'oribal!" Rico exclaimed.

"I know, but it keeps kids attention, so it will have to do." Manfredi said.

"Alright me operation: Get Private a Crib is a go!" Skipper ordered as the left.


Uh oh, the obsession begins! And Johnson is in trouble! Uncle Nigel is going to be in the next Chapter. :)

I don't own Penguins of Madagascar!
