"What do you see, Private?" Skipper asked without really caring, stirring his fish coffee.

Training was finished for the morning, and the penguins were relaxing in their HQ. The Central Park Zoo had opened just ten minutes before, and Kowalski was in his lab, Rico was smashing toy cars, Skipper was finishing his cup of Joe, and Private had gone to look out the lair's periscope when the Lunacorns cartoon was over. They would go and impress the humans later.

"Oh, the usual crowd," Private replied in his cute British accent. "But two teenagers look very different from the rest. They're all dressed in black."

Skipper's eyes instantly widened and he shoved Private out of the way to take a look. Once he spotted them outside, his eyes narrowed.

"Going goth, eh? Polluting the colorful world with your black clothes? Draining the happiness with your depressed looks and pale faces? Drowning out beautiful and joyful music with your heavy metal anger?"

New York City was cloaked in a beautiful blanket of silent blue as the three Midnighters with bags over their shoulders flew over it, bouncing high from building to building. The beauty, even in the Blue Time, took Jessica's breath away. She lifted her right hand with the softly sparkling bracelet into the air, wishing she could grab the whole fantastic city with it.

The other two, though, were not in as much awe as she was. "Jeez, blind me will you, Jess," Melissa complained from the other side of Jonathan as they landed on yet another skyscraper and jumped off again, their bounds perfectly timed. "Put your hand away!"

Jessica sheepishly put her hand back into her pocket as they reached the arc of their jump, and instead lifted her left hand, which was holding on firmly to Jonathan's, with her watch wrapped around her wrist right below it, to her face and checked the time on her wrist. ""Midnight is almost over," she sighed. She was the only one who could work technology in the blue time, but the other two could probably already see the dark moon disappearing quickly on the horizon in the west.
