Gathering Kristen, CC, Tom and myself into my bedroom, I told them what has to happen.
"We HAVE to find out what REALLY happened in Denmark! I know just what to do!"
"Time travel?' guesses CC
"Yes, but I also have an extra step."
"What?" asked kristen
"Since we have THE guy who does Skipper's voice as a member of this little expidition, we may as well have THE guy who does Hans."
"OHHH," said Tom "Now i get it. You're using me and John to play Skipper and Hans to prove you're from the future or something!"
"Or something." i said.
"John.. uh I mean Mr. DiMaggio! We need a favor! I'm going to have to transp[ort you over here with Kowalski's latest thingamajiggy and we need you on a time travel trip."
"Ok. " he said. i didn't expect him to agree so easily.
Several minutes later a larger man with a bushy goatee was standing in my bedroom. Several SECONDS later, we were looking at the Spitting Image of Hans The Puffin.
"
Ok, Mr Di Maggio, i'm planning a trip back in time to find out what REALLY happened in Denmark. I need you and Tom to play Skipper and Hans.The real Hans gave Skipper a tape, on it was recorded Hans; life story. Skipper listened to it in private and once he was done, he was nearly in tears. i wanna find out why they hate each other so much!", i said
"I'm with you! i wanna find out too!" he said" Please, for the time being, call me Hans, but normally, you can call me John.' once he'd switched to Hans' voice.
Setting up the time machine was no easy task. Luckily the Photo of the two of them had a date on the back : July 17th 1995. I let CC do the honors, and an all too familiar blinding flash of light appeared. We were soon standing in an unfamiliar place which OBVIOUSLY was Copenhagen
The ONE thing i forgot to pack was disguises, but Kristen thought ahead and borrowed some of Skippers newer ones. Several minutes later we were staring at Skipper the Tourist and Napoleon Bonaparte the Puffin. Actually, they looked kinda cute (yknow the kinda cute you see when a cat is dressed in a halloween costume?). I could tell John wasn't amused.
To call attention away from my targets, Kristen called out "Hey everyone! Look It's Napoleon!" I didn't expect it to have ANY effect, but a large group of penguins were gathering around John asking for autographs. Awkward!
I spotted two birds who weren't in the mob, and they looked sort of familiar, but i couldn't remember where I'd seem them.
Belly sliding up to them I said," excuse me? Hi! I know i've seen you two somewhere before! Were you guys in the Penguin Academy in the Galapagos?"
"Who wants to know?'
"i do! I'm looking for maybe one of your classmates.'
"Who is he?' said the other
"he's about yea tall * indicates Skipper's height* flat head, blue eyes, goes by the name of "Skipper'."
They muttered to themselves for a while until i realized just HOW stupid I was! I was looking at Skipper and Hans! I felt like such an idiot! it was just a shock, because they looked so young. Skipper was shorter than his future self, but taller than when he was a baby. and still had a fluffy layer of down feathers. Hans was shorter and rounder. Looking at them, it was hard to believe they'd grow up to hate eachother.
"Well, you found him. i look NOTHING like you described! Who do you work for?! Who are you!?'
"You just met him and already you don't trust him?! look beside you, Skipper if you want someone to hate!' said CC
"CC what did you just DO?! IT hasn't happened yet! They're still besties!" said Kristen.
"What in the name of Roosevelt's mother's girdle are you takling about?!'
Things went from bad to worse when John and Tom came bursting out of the crowd, John slipped and fell into the canal 'Eh, HELLO?! Napoleon could use a little help here!"
Normally that wouldn't have been bad if he did the voice of, say Burt, but NOT Hans! It was a dead giveaway.
"Vhy does zhat bird sound like me?' asked the young Hans.
"Long story..... uh....we gotta go!' said kristen, taking CC by the flipper and belly sliding away.. we followed suit and hid in an alleyway.
'Adam, I'm so sorry i didn't mean to say that>' said CC
'It's ok CC. i nearly said the same thing to him myself." i said.
"Vhat do ve do now?' asked john
"We wait at least a couple hours till something happens."
And we waited.. and waited...and waited, until , as luck would have it, we heard Hans and someone having an argument.
"No! I vill not do it! I refuse!"
"Would you do it if I threatened to hurt your best friend?!" said a voice that sounded an awful lot like Blowhole
"No Captain Blowhole, I villl Not!'
"Alright then, i suppose Skipper will have ti die then!"
"No! No! Please! I vill do vhat you say! Don't hurt him!"
"CAPTAIN Blowhole?! It must be Flipper Face's father!" said John
Blowhole S.r. left, and Hans was talking to himself.
"Vell, it could have it's perks! If he says he vants these plans to start the world over from scratch, i suppose that can't be all that bad. He did promise me a position of authority! This may not be so bad at all!....But vhat vill I tell Skipper? "oh yes I'm vorking vhith ze enemy to rebuild the world and i can get revenge on the people who've made my life a misery?" Genius plan! Yes, Hans zat vill go very vell!" he concluded sarcastically. "Talking to myself! I must be going crazy!"
We could hear him belly sliding away.
"Now to follow Cpt. Blowhole!" said Tom
