Here's part two:) Enjoy!


CHAPTER TWO: Gameboy

"All right then.. so what shall we begin with?" wondered Kowalski, staring down at the piece of paper with set of Skipper's new excersises written on it.

"Errm.. Kowalski.."chirped Private, raising his flipper up. "Sorry to disturb あなた right now, but.. I guess I've got a call from nature.. And it would be better If I answered it right away".
"But あなた know, we've got a bathroom emergency? It all got stuck up after Rico had accidently flushed his hammer down the toilet." asked Kowalski, turning his eyes at the youngest penguin.
"Yes I know. But that's not a problem. I could go somewhere in the bushes" tweeted Private and send him a pleading smile.
"Well, okay, but don't make us wait for too long" mumbled Kowalski.
"Aye, Kowalski" nodded Private and waddled away.
On seeing this, Rico regurgitated a newspaper, grabbed it in his flipper and moved towards the opposite direction.
"You too, Rico?" asked Kowalski, goggling at his friend with astonishment.
"Bagrbabha!" babbled Rico, which would mean: "Be right back" in his language.
"Ehh.. fine!" sighed Kowalski, sitting heavily on the ground. "But please do hurry up! We've got plenty of excersises to do this morning!"
He pulled out his notepad and started to scribble down some drawings of Doris just to kill time. Several 分 later, he raised his head from above the sheet and took an anxious glance around. Rico and Private were nowhere to be seen.
"What takes them so long?!" he wandered. He decided to give them five もっと見る minutes, but they wouldn't come back. A sudden wave of anger swooned across his body.

"Naw come oooooon! Enough all ready!" he cried, stretching his flippers up in annoyance.

He got up from the ground, threw his notepad aside and set off to look for his comrades. He was making his way past the lemurs habitat when he suddenly heard King Julien's triumphant laugh:
"Hahahahaaa!.. yyeees!"
'What makes him so happy?"
Kowalski jumped on the 上, ページのトップへ of the ウォール and took a quick peek inside. The lemurs were gathered in a tight circle, leaning against something dark, and square.
"Can't wait to try my brand new chess!" whispered King Julien, paddling with his fingers, his voice shaking with excitement.
"Chess!" chirped Kowalski in a high pitched voice. He jumped over the fence and waddled up towards the lemurs. It was very unlike him to intrude without invitation, but he simply couldn't help it. The chess was one of his greatest passions, just 次 after Doris.
"Have あなた bought yourself a new box of chess?" he asked, fidgeting with his flippers nervously.
"Yes I have, silly penguin" answered King Julien. "All I need right now is a partner! A partner who is メリダとおそろしの森 enough to try his strenght at beating King Julien in chess.. which is of course very unlikely to happen" he mumbled, watching over his fingertips.
"No need to look any further!" smiled Kowalski. He sat on the ground and stretched his flippers towards the wooden box.
"Hahahahaaa! Now you're going to meet DAfeat!" stated King Julien triumphantly.
"We'll see about that!" remarked Kowalski, squinting his eyes at the tallest lemur. "Let's play!"
Mort and Maurice exchanged looks and settled down on the nearest rock with a huge bag of popcorn, to enjoy the show.
After an half an hour, King Julien raised his head from above the plate and squinted his eyes at Kowalski.
"What?" asked Kowalski, a little confused.
"To tell the truth, I'm quite surprissed with your unexpected visit, silly penguin.What has brought あなた here, anyway?" asked King Julien. "Weren't あなた supposed to have those training excersises at the time?"
On hearing this, Kowalski let out a short scream and jumped with a start.
"Oh my God! The training! I've forgot!"
King Julien, along with the other lumers, gaped at him.
But Kowalski wouldn't trouble himself with further explanations. He got to his feet and flew out of their habitat, fear and remorse written all over his handsome face. He took a desperate look around.
"Where on earth did they go? Where shall I find them? There are PLENTY of bushes in the park! It ain't gonna fly!"
He grabbed his head with his flippers.
"How long have I been playing chess with King Julien? What time is it right now?" he pondered out loud when shooting all over the park. He turned round the corner and bumped against Rico. He fell backwards and groaned painfully.
"Kowalski!" chirped Private, taken aback.
"Where have あなた been! growled Kowalski, jumping back on his feet, trying to make his voice sound sharp and reproachfull. Then he noticed Rico holding something plastic and square in his flippers.
"Rico has found a gameboy in the park!" reported Private. "It's got plenty of cool games inside! He only let me play twice! And it's my turn!" he stretched his flippers up to reach the box but Rico pushed him away with his free flipper without even raising his head. He was clicking like crazy, his eyes widened, his beak halfopened with the tounge sticking humpily out from one side.
"You too spend the whole time messing up with some stupid games?" bellowed Kowalski, standing on his toes. "I've been looking for あなた for over an hour!"
"For over an hour?" goggled Private. "But Kowalski! Rico and I have actually heard あなた playing some chess with King Julien in the lemurs habitat! We could hear somebody crying: "Boomshakading!" from across the wall. Nobody says that except of us. Isn't that so, Rico?"
"Gabrgha!" nodded Rico and went back to his game.
"Ah... okay, fine! It was me!" sighed Kowalski and dropped his flippers submissively. " I just wanted to.. try that new chess King Julien bought yesterday!
"Yeah, あなた seemd to enjoy yourself very much, so we didn't won't to bother あなた and... we decided to take another run around the park to finish the level" 発言しました Private, clasping his flippers together and grinning at Kowalski with a pleading smile.
"Well, fine. But what about Skipper? What are we going to tell him?"
"Ah, this... mumbled Private, fidgeting with his flippers nervously. "Well, don't worry about that. We'll figure something out on our way home!"
The three penguins set back to their HQ. Kowalski was staring at the pavement, making up all sort of excuses he would acclaim in front of Skipper. Meanwhile Private and Rico were having a fight over the gameboy.
"All right boys, I suggest whe sould hide this plastic thing." mumbled Kowalski, when they had finally found themselves on the platform.
"Kowalski,.. your eyes are bloodshot. And あなた look worn" 発言しました Private with a deep concern.
"That's just the same thing about you" remarked Kowalski, watching over his colleagues attentively.
Rico yawned and rubbed his eyes with his flippers. Private staggered a bit. Kowalski held him によって arm just to help him keep the balance.
"I guess all three of us had a very busy day" he stated. "But not the kind of what Skipper would have expected us to have".
"Yes I know, I'm a bit embarrased" chirped Private, slight blush leaking out on his face.
"Well I suggest we keep it as a secret" decided Kowalski." But we're going to make the best of ourselfes 次 day".
"Aye, Kowalski!" nodded Private. "You're absolutely right. We shouldn't upset Skipper right now when he's so sick. It would only make him feel worse".
Rico gulped the gameboy down his throat and they started to climb down the ladder.
"Hi there, boys" whispered Marlene, walking up to them. "How was your training?"
"Well.. it wasn't as bad as we thought it to be" chirped Kowalski, trying to sound still. "It was quite a long time 前 since I was in charge of leading the group.. but I guess I'll be back on my track soon. あなた know. It's just the 質問 of practice".
"You guys seemed to have worked hard indeed" nodded Marlene. "You're eyes are bloodshot and あなた look quite worn."
"As a matter of fact, we are" agreed Kowalski. (But not for the reasons あなた would have thought) he finished in his thoughts.
"I'll make あなた some coffee" offered Marlene and headed off towards the table.
"How's Skipper? asked Kowalski when seating himself on one of the boxes and stealing a quick glance at his leader's bunk.
"He had a little fever in the morning but it seems to decrease, thankfully" replied Marlene against the soft clinging of cups. "All he needs now is sleep."
Kowalski nodded in silence and started to 移動する his flipper all over the table, drawing some invisible figures on it's rough surface.
Private hopped back to his bunk, and pulled out his favourite ペンギン magasine to finish his crossword. Meanhwile Rico cocooned himself in one of the darkest corners of their HQ just to stay ouf of sight. He took a quick glance around and regurtirated his gameboy back. He sat on the ground and started to play.

***
Skipper didn't sleep well this night. He kept rolling about in his bed, wincing, sighing and fighting with excruciating pain. He dreamed of his own parents against the white background. They were closed in a tight embrance and looking at each other adoringly. Suddenly everything faded into dark... he could hear some voices echoing through the darkness.
"Hey, it's my turn!"
"Just let me have a chance to finish this level!"
"Rico, あなた tell him!"
There was a short pause before the voice with the british accent broke the silence again:
"Oh no, the battery is off!"
"Not to worry. I'm sure I've got a spare one somwehere in my lab."
"In your lab?" murmured Skipper fuzzily. He was too tired and weary to figure anything out of this weird conversation. He let out a painfull moan and rolled over his sheet.
***
"What's wrong guys?" asked Skipper his voice horse and weak. "Feeling unwell?"
He noticed that their eyes were slightly bloodshot. They usually got these ones after spending two much time in frotn of TV. But they weren't watching anything last night.

"Well.. it's just that ..erm.. we've got a request" chirped Private, fidgeting with his flippers nervously. He gave a pleading look to Kowalski, insisting on him to take over the speech.
"It's been a long time since we had such a beautiful weather." started Kowalski. "Therefore.. Rico, Private and I thought that ..it would be nice if just this once we could go and practice in the park."
"Breave some fresh air, savour the real spirit of nature!" exclaimed Private, stretching his flippers in a theatrical gesture. "We do miss it a lot, don't we, Skippa?" he added, staring at his leader with 子犬 eyes.
Skipper smiled warmly and lifted himself up on his healthy arm.
"All right boys, あなた may go. But Kowalski, don't forget to give him a break every once in a while. Don't overdo it または it will make no sense.
"No need to worry, Skippa. We're going to have some entertainment as well! Like catching the butterflies, sunbathing, または playing gameb.."
He received a loud スマック in the head from Rico.
"Ouch!... well, that's it Skippa. We'll be fine, no need to worry!" chirped Private, rubbing his aching head.
Skipper nodded and covered himself with his bedsheets.
"Oh, can we take some snacks?" asked Private just before climbing the ladder.
"Okay, soldier. But nothing sugary!" 発言しました Skipper. He felt a sharp pain piercing through his forehead. He sank back on his 枕 and closed his eyes, waiting for the pain to go away.
Private hopped to his bunk and pulled out a large box of Maggie Saggie クッキー from under his pillow, giggling menacingly.
He rejoined the group and started making his way up the ladder.
"See あなた later, Skippa!" he chirped.
