Prologue: I've Once Met a Dragon Fly

It was a quiet দিন in the central park zoo. Not a creature made noise. It was almost like a peaceful দিন in the zoo, where Kowalski and Rico weren't blowing things up, Skipper wasn't yelling at insects, and Private wasn't playing with his Lunicorns.

At Marlene's Habitat

"Gee. I wonder why it's so quiet. I would have heard noises দ্বারা now. Maybe I should go visit the penguins" Marlene thought.

So Marlene grabbed a soda and headed towards the পেংগুইন habitat. Nobody was on the outside. Marlene was worried that Alice may notice. She tried to সরানো the খাবার bowl, but it seemed to be stuck. Maybe glued to the ground. Something wasn't right.

"Julien, do আপনি know what happened to the penguins?" asked Marlene.

"I don't have the slightest clue of what happened. Now if আপনি will be excusing me, I am going to try and pry Mort off of my foot." Julien replied.

"Some help he was." ব্যক্ত Marlene, frusterated.

Suddenly, a dragon fly flew দ্বারা Marlene.

"Hey Otter, আপনি lookin' for somethin'?" he said.

"I'm looking for my friends. Have আপনি seen the penguins?" Marlene asked.

"Funny to mention, I was flyin' দ্বারা and heard some noises. I think it was the পেংগুইন habitat I flew দ্বারা and noticed somebody glueing the খাবার bowl to a hole. Maybe he tried to fix it অথবা somethin'. I didn't quite get who he was. অথবা she. How the heck would I know." Explained the Dragon Fly.

"Maybe আপনি could help me. Who are you, anyways?" Marlene curiously said.

"My name is Scouter Richie, but আপনি could call me Scouter. অথবা Richie. অথবা Scrichie, I don't care. Which ever one ya like sister." ব্যক্ত Scouter.

"Okay, Scouter. My name's Marlene. We need to figure out another way to get in the পেংগুইন lair. Maybe we can cook up a plan at my place at midnight. আপনি in?" Marlene said.

"You bet. I hope this gets exciting." Scouter ব্যক্ত with joy.

Marlene waited all night, wondering if there was any hope in finding the penguins in their lair. If not, what would she do?
