S: Skipper; K:Kowalski; P: Private; R: Rico; M:Marlene; J: Julien; Mau: Maurice; Mort:Mort.; King Rat: KR ; ♥ : (love, or kiss)

The Penguins are all around the table when they hear a hollow screech coming from Marlene’s habitat. Skipper leads them and they go through Marlene’s front door. They can hear Marlene but they can’t see her.

S: Kowalski, perimeter check!

Kowalski walks around until he notices that the sewer hole is opened and they see Marlene with all the rats around her. Skipper panics and has says anything without thinking.

S: Rico Rope!!!

A rope rolls out of Rico’s mouth and he pulls it until it ends. Skippers grabs and end of the rope and make’s Rico hold it and lowers the other end down the hole.

S: Kowalski, Options!!!
K: I have 10 ideas (He looks into his pad and crosses out a couple of them, then nods) 1 idea. You can go down the rope while Private and Rico hold the rope and you go down the rope and get Marlene.
S: Aces Kowalski!!! Private get the rope!!! Rico stand where you are!!!

Skipper climbs down the rope until he reaches the floor and plants his feet steady in place.

S: What’s your sick and twisted plan filthy sewer demons!!!
KR: Well you see, we were getting kind of bored and we figured you’d come along if we stole your little friend!!!
M: Help Me!!!

Skipper grabs Marlene by the hip and climbs up the rope as fast as he could. He made it to the top safely. The penguins all slap their hands and are glad to see Marlene back in safety.

S: Great Job, boys!!! Snow cones on me!!!!

They all cheer and the penguins begin to walk. Private turns and notices that Skipper is still next to Marlene.

P: Aren’t you coming, Skipper?
S: No Way!!! I must teach Marlene how to be safe from being otternapped again!!! Bring me and Marlene a rainbow cone, mines blue, yellow and red and Marlene’s green, purple and blue.
They all walk out and Skipper faces Marlene.

S: Marlene, How did all this happen?
M: Hmmm, Let’s see, so I was laying down on my bed playing with my SpongeBob toy when I just hear the sewer door opening. The king rat came in and just took me away. I asked what was going on but there was no answer.
S: There’s your problem!!! You need to close that door permanently!!!. Maybe some cement or such…
M: No!!! What about when you come in and talk!!! This is the quickest door there is from your habitat to mine!!! And what about emergencies!!! Again, quickest way!!!

Marlene starts getting panicky and Skipper begins to worry.

S: What do you suggest???
M: Well maybe, we could block the front door…
S: No Way!!! How am I going to come in and check on you quietly while you sleep! It’s the quietest way in!!!
M: You watch me in my sleep???
S: Yes, I watch all our friends. Every hour I check on you, the lemurs, the monkeys and then you again.
M: Why me twice???

Skipper doesn’t know how to explain it. He’s nervous and says the first thing that pops into his head.

S: Well, you see…Females need more attention!!! They are oh so very help less (narrator’s note: I don’t think this at all for the fact that I am a girl :] ) and need more protection than macho men do!!!

Marlene is flattered by the cute answer and just smiles shyly. She gets a little closer to skipper.

M: I’ll buy that :)

Marlene gets closer to skipper and skipper gets closer to Marlene. They are this close (narrator makes a tiny little replica of them with her fingers) to having the cutest ♥ (u no what that means!!!) when…

P: Hi Skipper!!!! We got you your rainbow cone!!! Here’s one for you Marlene!!!

Private hands them the snow cones. Skipper and Marlene stare at each other in annoyed look.

S: Private, We need to finish something here. (Skipper meant the kiss but he wanted private to think the training for Marlene and private thought it meant them)
P: Oh you are right!!!! Let’s go team!!!! Skipper come on you lead!!!!

Skipper stares at private in an angered look and at Marlene with a hopeful look. He slowly walks out of the door, with his head hanging above his belly. Marlene just gently waves goodbye and crawls away to her bed.

Later when they get to their lair…

Kowalski sits Skipper in a chair and ties him up. Skipper doesn’t care because he is still very sorrowful because of the whole ♥ thing. Kowalski slaps him.

S: What was that for??? I do the slapping here!!!
P: For almost kissing Marlene!!!

Skipper stays quiet because he is in shock. He doesn’t know what to say.

S: What are you talking about??? (He says suspiciously)

Kowalski flips through some pictures showing skipper a couple of snaps of what was almost a ♥.

K: I have a theory. As you two spoke about the incident you began to block out the words that she said and fell under the feeling that only a female can make you experience.

Skipper stares at him with confusion.     

P: He means that you fell in ♥ with her.

Skipper denies the ♥ that is between him and Marlene but he knows that he is only faking it in front of them. He doesn’t want anyone to find out but he doesn’t know how to hide it. The other penguins notice Skipper with a face of shame. They untie him and he goes up the stairs with eyes full of despair.

Later the penguins except skipper go to Marlene’s. Marlene is on her bed with a journal, drawing many pictures, with her head leaned down. She notices that the penguins enter but she doesn’t care because skipper is not there.

K: We need you to answer this questionnaire.
M: About what??? (Marlene puts her head down and nods) I don’t care just tell me the stupid questions.
K: Do you feel a bit different when around a certain person???
M: (Marlene’s voice sounds a little happy after he asks that then she quiets down again) Huh????
P: Do you feel good around a certain person???
M: Ummm…I don’t know.
P: Don’t worry, just tell us the truth, we wont laugh.
M: Umm…hehehe, funny story you see, maybe, a little, around skipper, a little, not so much and yes a little and um…hehehe…maybe a little, maybe he is a little cute…just a tiny bit maybe…

Kowalski is staring in confusion and covers private’s beak, which is about to blow with laughter.

P: Do you like on skipper???
M: No…Why do you somehow assume that???

Kowalski pulls Marlene’s journal out of her hands. There is over a ton of pictures of skipper. Kowalski stares at them and smiles. Marlene pulls it away from him.

M: (Frowning with anger) I think it’s time for you to leave.
P: You can’t hide what’s inside Marlene!!!

Kowalski laughs hysterically as they walk out. Marlene sits down and continues to draw.

K: I feel guilty
P: Why, it was my fault???
K: But I told you to interrupt
P: Don’t worry, we just need them to ♥ and you’ll feel good in no time.
K: But how will that happen??? Skipper won’t see Marlene and Marlene won’t see skipper!!!
R :(babbles) ablah agu abla di blah di blah da??? (meaning: what if marlene was in trouble, then skipper would want to save her right???)
K: That is anatomically true, but how are we going to force someone to capture marlene?
P: Well we can, then skipper will save marlene!!!
K: Then, we strike at midnight.

Later at midnight…

Skipper hears a dim scream. It was marlene. He jumped out of bed and notices his crew is not there. He runs to marlene’s habitat and sees the penguins having marlene tied up in a chair with tape in her mouth.

S: Kowalski, Private, Rico! What are you doing?
K: Somehow we all had this crazy plan to…

The penguins run out before skipper can catch them. Skipper unties marlene and removes the tape from her mouth.

M: Ouch!!!!
S: Sorry, gees I wonder y da boys did dat!!!
M: IDK, so um yeah thanx
S: Don’t worry about it, it’s wut I do!
M: hehehe, yeah dats wut u do...(*sighs)
S: Wuts wrong?
M: It’s nothing, well yes its something, I know y da boys did this…or maybe I don’t but I have suspicions.
S: What did happen???
M: Well earlier dis morning they tried to get me to admit I liked you…but I didn’t.

Skipper looks down to the floor with an embarrased look on his face.

S: But do you…
M: I what???
S: You know…umm…like like…me???
M: Hmmm, well…IDK, do u?

Skipper puts his head down and doenst know wut to say, he knows he does.

S: Ummm…(*cough)…I may…(*cough) a little.
M: Ummm…(*cough) yeah…me too :)

Skipper looks up and smiles. She gets closer to him and he hugs her. As they split apart, marlene gives him a small ♥ on his right cheek. Skipper begins to blush.

S:(*cough) so I must be going now
M: Yeah…Ummm…tanx for saving me
S: No worries.

Skipper walks out and marlene smiles. She gets on her bed and keeps drawing him over and over. Skipper smiles…

S: (to himself) mission accomplished… :)
