Kowalski quickly hopped down various branches and out of the বৃক্ষ as quickly as possible; he was sure that some animals, almost certainly the other penguins, would be scaling the বৃক্ষ in মিনিট in order to see what had caused the ‘disturbance’. As Skipper tried to calm the crowd, Kowalski waited behind the বৃক্ষ for a bit to make sure he was telling them of his demise. When he was satisfied, Kowalski slipped away from the বৃক্ষ as silently as possible and dashed behind a bench, waited until he was positive none of the জন্তু জানোয়ার were looking in his direction, then ran until he reached the nearest manhole. Quietly, he pulled off the lid and slipped inside, then replaced the cover. Phase one of his plan was complete.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Skipper was not in a good mood দ্বারা the time he got back to the পেংগুইন habitat. Forgetting that they had completed installing the alarm that Private had been messing with the other day, Skipper kicked open the plastic মাছ secret passage and set it off. Skipper swore as he ran over to turn off the alarm, forgetting that Private was right behind him. Rico covered Private’s ears.
“I don’t know why I don’t just take this piece of আবর্জনা down, it’s not doing anything now that Kowalski’s not around” ব্যক্ত Skipper as he began to kick the alarm when it would not turn off.
“Why don’t আপনি Skippa?” ব্যক্ত Private, thinking it was one of those questions.
Skipper ignored Private and continued to kick the alarm until he kicked it so hard his foot went right into the machine. Skipper swore again and began to hop around on his other foot, yelping in pain. However, the alarm did stop.
“Now that’s আরো like it,” ব্যক্ত Skipper when he finally recovered. “Rico! Get this piece of garbage out of here, pronto!”
Rico nodded and some of his saliva flew off his tongue, which was, as always, hanging out, and hit Skipper in the face. Skipper didn’t even make a noise this time; he just reached up with his flipper and wiped it off.
Skipper watched Rico pull down the system for a minute, then turned over to Private, who was still standing পরবর্তি to the mounted মাছ and looking very sad.
“Don’t worry little Private, you’ll get your chance to audition, remember, the chimps just changed the তারিখ to পরবর্তি Thursday…”
“It’s not that Skippa,” ব্যক্ত Private, staring at the floor. “It just that speech আপনি gave all those animals…it was so sad and yet…so brave…”
Skipper didn’t particularly think of the act as being brave, but he decided to go along with it in hopes of cheering Private up…whenever Private was upset, it just made everyone else upset, not because Private whined but because he was so hard to upset that when he was it seemed to the others that their little ball of cheerfulness had just been taken away. Skipper gave Private a friendly hug and suggested he go watch TV. Private was obviously trying to cooperate with Skipper, but it was made hard দ্বারা the fact that the only things on at the time were a bunch of business shows and soap operas.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kowalski, meanwhile, was down in his little sewer lair, pouting. He was upset that he had to stop the auditions and make his escape before the zoo জন্তু জানোয়ার had a chance to sing; he had been waiting all night to hear Marlene’s audition although he was rather looking অগ্রবর্তী to Private’s as well. And while he was glad that he had managed to get Skipper to tell everyone of his ‘demise’, he was irritated that he would have to wait until পরবর্তি Thursday to hear the rest of the auditions, not to mention people would probably be much আরো alert. And to শীর্ষ it all off, the cloth across his face had been ripped দ্বারা a বৃক্ষ branch and was coming undone. He pulled it off and threw it on শীর্ষ of the organ, as he was not planning on going anywhere for awhile.
He waddled over to a spare calendar he had taken from the Zoovenir ভান্দার and wrote down the তারিখ for the remaining auditions with a little pen with an হাতি টুপি that had come with the calendar. After scribbling down a few আরো things, he threw the pen down and walked over to the organ, wondering what to do. He could not play the organ, as that was sure to attract attention from the other animals, and he wasn’t in the mood to work on any of his inventions that he had brought down with him. He reluctantly grabbed the cloth off the শীর্ষ of the organ and inspected the damage, wondering how long it would take it to fix it. Maybe spying on the other জন্তু জানোয়ার would be fun.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The auditions had been held fairly late at night so দ্বারা the time they had finished all the penguins wanted to do was go to bed. However, Skipper had other plans.
“I don’t know if that কাঠবিড়াল was telling the truth অথবা if he just fell out of the বৃক্ষ himself and ব্যক্ত that someone pushed him, but nevertheless I believe that someone should be on recon duty tonight.
The other two penguins, who were struggling to stay awake, both groaned.
“I don’t want to hear it!” ব্যক্ত Skipper, putting his flipper in their faces. “Now we have to decide which one is going out there and which of us get to…sleep…” Skipper yawned.
Skipper shook his head back and forth violently, trying to wake himself up, then disappeared into a side room. He rummaged around for a bit before coming back out with the makeshift ninjas, bows and arrows that they had been practicing with before the entire ordeal began. He handed Rico and Private one of the bows and an arrow.
“The two that deal the most fatal shots to any প্রদত্ত ninja will be allowed to stay here. The third will have to go out on recon. আপনি get one shot. Private, go.”
“But SKIPPA!” Private whined. “It’s not fair…you’ll win!”
“I ব্যক্ত go Private! The longer আপনি stand here and argue the longer we have to stay up and feel all tired.”
Private grumbled and shot at a ninja. It hit the ninja in the stomach.
Skipper grunted, as though approving of the shot. “Rico, go.”
Rico shot and hit the ninja in the leg. Skipper scoffed slightly and Private gave a sigh of relief.
“Alright, now আপনি two pay attention on how it’s done” ব্যক্ত Skipper, taking aim at the ninja’s head. Right as he was about to shoot, however, Rico belched loudly behind Skipper, causing Skipper to stumble and release the অনুষ্ঠান- অ্যারো accidentally. It flew passed the ninjas and hit the wall.
“Rico!” ব্যক্ত Skipper. “Turn your head when আপনি do that!”
Rico chuckled. Skipper walked over to his arrow, picked it up, and notched it, getting ready to আগুন again.
“Skippa! What do আপনি think you’re doing?” ব্যক্ত Private, a hint of amusement in his voice.
“Getting ready to take my REAL turn, of course. If Rico did that to আপনি and made আপনি miss, you’d probably be taking a সেকেন্ড shot too.”
“True, sir” ব্যক্ত Private “But…you did say that আপনি got only one shot.”
“What do you…I…!” stuttered Skipper. Rico and Private both stared him in the eyes.
“Alright, fine” ব্যক্ত Skipper. He kicked over the ninjas and climbed up the ladder and out of the habitat.
As soon as he was gone, Private turned to Rico. “Nice one, Rico!” he said. They high-fived.
