I can still remember the first time I saw her. The penguins had introduced us and I knew that when I layed my eyes on her that I loved her. We had been good বন্ধু for awhile, and she had even let me stay with her in her habitat so I wouldn't get caught দ্বারা Officer X. I loved her, and I decided to let her know it. Every weekend, us জন্তু জানোয়ার had fireworks to let go because the humans werent coming in. I had borrowed some 'special' ones from Rico and him and the other penguins were going to let it go last. "Hey Max! I প্রণয় Sundays, don't you?" Marlene asked me. "Yea, I প্রণয় all of the sparks." I said, anxiety rising. "Yea, I প্রণয় all of the diffrent রঙ the best. Oh, wait! There starting." Marlene ব্যক্ত as the first firework went up. It was a gorgeus moment as the red sparks lit up the night. The crowd was full of 'ohhhs' and 'ahhhs'. The fireworks all went up, one দ্বারা one, reflecting in Marlenes eyes. I smiled at her while a purple one went up that really looked beutifull. My paws were getting sweaty as I knew it was just a matter of time untill the penguins let off the 'special' fireworks. After they were all done and the জন্তু জানোয়ার thought it was over, a loud rumbling filled the night air. Then my fireworks shined bright green in the night. They ব্যক্ত a simple sentance: 'Marlene, will আপনি go out with Mark?' "Wait, who the heck is Mark?" Max thought to himself in disbelief. "Sorry everybody, that was supposed to say Max." Kowalski yelled from atop the clock tower. Marlene looked at me and ব্যক্ত "Is this true?" "Yes..." I ব্যক্ত nervouslly. Marlene showed her approval with a kiss.

"Oh man, why did I do this?" I asked the penguins in the HQ. I was very nervous. "Well, even though Skipper may not agree, I do." Private ব্যক্ত "But what if something goes wrong?" I asked. Kowalski walked over and slapped me hard. "Get ahold of yourself man! This will all go perfectlly." He ব্যক্ত shaking me দ্বারা the shoulders. "Right." I ব্যক্ত not wanting another slap. At that time Marlene jumped in through the মাছ bowl entrance. "Are আপনি ready Max?" She asked. "Yea, now I am." I ব্যক্ত climbing up the ladder and exiting, Marlene at my heels. "He won't get away with this..." Skipper ব্যক্ত in the lab.

Marlene and Max had went to a fancy restaurant called 'The Place'. "Well, this is beutifull." Marlene ব্যক্ত motioning to the chandeliers and water fountains. "Yea, I come here alot." I ব্যক্ত as the waiter took us to our table. "Really?" She asked. "Yea, I have connections. My cousin Marcus owns the place." I answered. "Well that's really cool." Marlene ব্যক্ত putting down her menu, ready to order. "Hello, I will be your waiter tonight." A German Husky ব্যক্ত in a heavy accent. "Are আপনি ready to order?" "Yes, thank you. I would like to oyster stew." Marlene said. "I'll have the tuna." I said. "O.K, I will be right back with your orders." He ব্যক্ত leaving to the kitchean. Skipper had snuck in the back, unnoticead দ্বারা anyone. He had followed Max and Marlene here and had come up with a number of plans to mess with Max. He made his way to the water ফোয়ারা closest to where they sat. He pulled out some tools and began messing with a few of the nuts and bolts. He looked up when the waiter ব্যক্ত "Here আপনি go, enjoy." He had some time to waste so he just sat and obsearved Max and Marlene. Max ate with furocity while Marlene ate with such grace. When Max had finished, Skipper had finished his 'preparations' with the fountain. "That was good." I said. "Yea, it was." Marlene ব্যক্ত finishing up. There was a stragne rumbling and the whole restaurant got quiet. "What is tha-" I started but was cut off দ্বারা an extreame jet of water that shot me to the wall. I was just sitting there, and then all went dark. When I awoke, I was in the waiting area. "What happened?" I asked. "The ফোয়ারা went haywire." Marlene answered. "I'm so sorry Max." A voice said. I loooked around and saw Marcus. "Oh, it's O.K." I ব্যক্ত drying off. "No, it's not. The meal is free." Marcus said. "Really?" I asked. "Really." Was his reply. "Thanks." Marlene ব্যক্ত as he got up to leave. "No problam, just come back soon." He ব্যক্ত as we left. "We will!" We both ব্যক্ত as we walked out.

We went to the চলচ্চিত্র to see 'Date Night'. "I hear it's good." Marlene ব্যক্ত a we bought tickets. "Yea, so have I." I ব্যক্ত as we went to find our seats. We decided to sit in the back. After the previews and all of the other crap আপনি must go through before the movie starts, the most boring movie I had ever seen started playing. I saw Marlene was really into the movie so I decided to take a nap. I just leaned my head to the side and closed my eyes. ... "That was so good!" Marlene ব্যক্ত as the credit's rolled. "Yea, that was great!" I ব্যক্ত trying to look awake. "Do আপনি mind waiting for me while I go use the bathroom?" Marlene asked. "Yea, no problam." I said. "Thanks." She said, kissed me on the cheek, and walked to the bathroom. "Wow." I ব্যক্ত stunned. While I had my paw on my cheek, a net caught me. "Having fun?" A voice said. "Skipper?" I asked looking around. "Yea, Marlene is mine and nobody elses." He ব্যক্ত picking up the net and dragging me to a closet. "Skipper, let me out." I ব্যক্ত as Skipper pulled out a tranquilizer gun. "Nope." He ব্যক্ত and shot me. ... "What?" I ব্যক্ত waking up and looking around. "OH CRAP! MARLENE!" I ব্যক্ত hacking through the net with my claws. I made my way out of the building and looked around. "Oh crap..." I ব্যক্ত as I saw Skipper and Marlene making out. "Marlene, I'm sorry Max left you." Skipper said. "I just can't believe he did it..." Marlene said. "Well, I didn't!" I ব্যক্ত grabbing the tranquilzer gun. "Max!" Marlene ব্যক্ত hugging me. "Well, apparantlly I should have used and extra dose. No matter, I can fix that... Where's it at?" Skipper ব্যক্ত looking for the gun. "What? This?" I ব্যক্ত pulling it out. "Max, do it." Marlene ব্যক্ত with enthusiasm. "Now Max, don't do something you'd regret!" Skipper ব্যক্ত holding up his flippers in defiance. "Oh, I won't regret this." I ব্যক্ত shooting Skipper. He fell with a thud. "Max, I'm sorry." Marlene said. "It's O.K." I ব্যক্ত looking over the gun. It suddenlly went off and we heard a thud. We turned and saw a squirll. "Fred?" Marlene said. "Sorry Fred!" I ব্যক্ত as me and Marlene walked away from the snoring পেংগুইন and squirll.
