*Smiles* I will miss you too, Ester.
Skipper ran over to the electrocuted Kowalski, whose senses seemed to be in another realm, making Kowalski unable to question his own life or death.
Kowalski's Thoughts: ......What have I done.....
Skipper pulls Kowalski up and starts to shake him, which is not the best idea to try on an unconscious victim.
Skipper: Kowalski!!! Can you hear me?!
Skipper points at Private.
Skipper: Private, go get Rico and my medical supplies!
Private: Right!.... *looks over at Kowalski*... O-ok...
Private slides off toward the habitat, but Kowalski's thoughts gradually return and he begins to think clearly.
Kowalski's Thoughts: Where am I.... I need to get back to the lab... where did Ester and Rico go... Is someone holding me..?
Kowalski opens his eyelids immediately and sees Skipper's face right infront of his.
Kowalski: GAH!
Skipper: AH!
Skipper lets go of Kowalski out of shock, and Kowalski (still not fully adjusted to his surroundings) hits the concrete.
Kowalski: Ow! *Rubs head*
Skipper: Oh, sorry Kowalski! Are you back to normal? Normal meaning not like Rico?
Kowalski stands up and dusts himself off.
Kowalski: I believe so. But my foolish dream turned into a brutal nightmare! Look what I have done to the lemur habitat; it's in ruins! *waves over to destroyed lemur habitat*
Mort: *From far away* I'm ok! I still have mango!!! Tee-hee-hee!
Kowalski: o_o
Skipper: ....Anyways, never try to be someone you're not meant to be, Kowalski. Ester should have liked you for who you are Kowalski.
Kowalski: Yea I guess- wait, what do you mean by "should have"?
Skipper: Don't you remember? Ester's going back to the Bronx Zoo today!
Kowalski: TODAY?!
Private and Rico are just exiting the habitat when they see Kowalski waddling/running past them.
Private: I guess he's all better now! Yay!
Rico: Uh-huh!
At Boarding Dock (Where Ester's Crate Is Being Put Into The Truck):
Kowalski: Ester! Ester!!!
Ester: *From inside the crate* Kowalski?
Kowalski looks to his left and sees a small crate with a penguin shipping label on it. He goes over to the crate and knocks on it.
Kowalski: .....Ester?
Ester: Yea, I'm inside here Kowalski. -_-
Kowalski: Ester, I'm sorry for causing so much trouble, it's my fault for ruining your date with Rico.
Ester: Actually, it's my fault. I should have never left you like that without a proper breakup, and besides, I'm getting tired of the bad boy fad. Rico seemed too anxious all the time about the dates we had.
Kowalski: ...
Ester: But anyways, I will miss you Kowalski, because the love I was looking for was just a zoo away, and he was the penguin I've known for most of my life.
Kowalski: *Smiles* I will miss you too, Ester.
The truck driver comes around the corner and picks up Ester's crate. Kowalski hides behind a nearby lamppost and waits for the truck driver to enter his vehicle.
Truck Driver: Oof! This crate weighs a ton! What's in this thing?!
Ester: Hey watch your mouth, buddy! Don't make me tie those lips of your into a double knot!
Kowalski: *Chuckles* Ester will be Ester!
