Lexii awoke from an uncomfortable sleep on the floor of the penguins HQ. They had all been sleeping there since what had happened with Blowhole. That had been nearly a week ago and nothing had happened. They all had begun to think that he had been bluffing just to scare them. 
    Skipper had already informed everyone of Lexii's situation and they had all forgiven her. She was so glad she had these great friends. She smiled as she looked around the room.
     They were all still asleep on the floor around her. She was in between Marlene and Julien and mort was sleeping on her feet since they felt close enough to Julien's. The penguins were lined up at the door in case anything were to happen. 
    It was still kinda dark outside so she had a few more hours to sleep. She closed her eyes and snuggled down into her blanket. She was smiling as she drifted off to sleep....


      The zoo was closed since it was the weekend. Skipper had called a meeting so they were all sitting around the table in the HQ. Skipper stood up and cleared his throat.
"We are all aware of Lexii's situation," began Skipper. "Aparently Blowhole was supposed to come to the zoo and take Lexii back. Its been a week and nothing has happened. Kowalski?"
   Kowalski shuffled his papers. " Based on recent attacks by Blowhole we have found he usually acts within the first 2-3 days after we have found a clue to his plan. Well it has been 7 days and, well, nothing. We have decided to call off all protective protocalls. Lexii, we are 99.9% sure that you are safe." Kowalski smiled at Lexii.
   She let out a sigh of relief." Thank you all for helping me. It means alot." Everyone smiled sweetly at her. She grinned back. Finaly she could relax!

1:42am;  otter habitat; all are asleep
      Lexii was awakened by a sharp knocking from outside. She groaned and opened her eyes. Her first restful sleep in weeks and someone had to wake her up! She looked at Marlene who was sound asleep. She heard the knocking again. "Coming." she said sleepily.
      She stummbled out of her bed and walked towards the door.  She walked out side and looked around. No one was there... She looked towards the bushes by the door. It was dark and she couldnt see very well. Surley nobody would try to scare her after what had been happening.  She turned around to look towards the walkways. 
    The wind blew and the bushes rustled a little. She almost turned around but figured that it was just the breeze moving the bushes and not some one in them.. She quietly chuckled. She was getting almost as paranoid as Skipper! 
       Her smile vanished when a flipper came over her mouth. A flipper that did not belong to a penguin, but a dolphin. She tried to turn around but was lifted into the air. She struggled and Blowhole dropped her. Lexii tried to run but the lobsters surrounded her. They tied her up and threw her into Blowholes escape pod.  She looked up and glared at Blowhole. He just smiled evily back at her. "Nice to see you again Lexii." And with that they were on their way back to his evil lair.

Marlene woke up the next morning. She looked around the room. Lexii was gone! She ran outside calling her name. Nothing... She looked in the grass beside her habitat and saw a single tire mark. Blowhole! She had to tell Skipper fast. 
       "Blowhole took her?! He wasnt supposed to come!!" Skipper yelled. "Kowalsi, I thought you were 99.9% sure of that?!"
        Kowalski flipped through his papers franticly. "There was a .1% chance that it could happen. I just didnt think it would!"
          "What do we do Skipper??" Private asked sadly.
        "Well isnt it obvious??" Skipper replied trying to sound brave. "We go rescue her..

Lexii awoke in her bed at Blowholes lair. She looked around. Everything seemed normal.. She was untied so she got up and tip-toed towards the door. 
        She walked down the hallway and went into the main room. It was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. She suddenly heard Blowholes scooter behind her. She turned around and he smiled at her. Not an evil smile, just, a smile. 
         He motioned for Lexii to jump up on the handle bars of his scooter and she did. When they were face to face Lexii spoke. "Why are you doing this?" she asked coldly.
      Blowhole sighed. He was going to tell her how he felt. He took a deep breath..."Lexii, we have been friends forever and when you left me, I was heart broken.. I-I have loved you since i first met you and have just been to scared to tell you..." He looked into her surprised eyes.
        Lexii could not belive this.. Could he really love her?? "I-I dont know what to sa-" Lexii didnt get to finish because Blowhole had just then kissed her gently on the lips......
