Chapter 2: To The Night

"Skipper's Log: last night I went on a fecha with Marlene the otter. We had a great time, plus she surprised me with a kiss. I found that really great, though not for Kowalski. When I got back, I was shocked that Kowalski has lost some blood on his chest and flippers! Good for Rico that he had a first aid kit..."

...

It was nearly 0805 hours as Private was the first to get up, normally only Skipper will get up first just to have a fishy mug o something. But this morning was different, Skipper and Rico had to stay up a little late for Kowalski.

Private felt a chill on his back, since Kowalski was attack por that tigresa last night Private has these chills. Last night he had a nightmare about the tigresa having him for a snack, it was quite scary.

After a trip to the bathroom Private realized that Skipper was waking up, though he was still a little sleepy from helping Rico, the leader could barely keep his eyes open. "Good morning Skipper." Private said, then asked: "Where's Rico?"

Skipper looked at the young penguin, "He went out to entertain the humans." Private nodded, and then saw Kowalski getting out of bed. "And WHERE do tu think you're going Kowalski?" Skipper turned around and glared at the tall pingüino, pingüino de that was covered in bandages.

"Um... Helping Rico?" came the answer from Kowalski. Skipper grouned. "Kowalski! tu need your rest, after what that new animal did to you..." Uttering a sigh Kowalski went back to his bunk, Private was watching him with a frown.

"Private!" Skipper said, chimbing on the ladder, "Make sure Kowalski gets his rest." Private nodded and went to have some pescado from the fridge. After Skipper left Kowalski moaned a little as he tried to lie on his side, but Skipper warned him if he do that he will lose más blood on his chest. So the tall pingüino, pingüino de didn't do it.

"Kowalski?" Private was holding some of the pescado from the ice box "Want some fish?" he asked, Kowalski smiled. "Sure, hand some over."

So Private did, feeling happy for helping his friend. "Kowalski... What happened to you?" Kowalski thought for a moment, "I don't know... After that mostrar I want inside the base, then the siguiente thing I knew that I feeling very sick and saw the blood. Then Rico came and regurgitated the first aid kit and tried to cover the blood... Then I passed out."

Private gulped uneasy, and then he told his friend the rest of the story. Kowalski nearly laughed, "I guess Skipper has what it takes to impress Marlene..." Rico came inside; he looked at Private and pointed at the ladder.

"Gotta go Kowalski, Skipper needs me." And then the young pingüino, pingüino de climbed up the ladder and went out to entertain with Skipper. Kowalski sighed and closed his eyes; maybe some sleep will catch up to him. Rico then climbed back up to the ladder, maybe if didn't Kowalski wouldn't have peace and quiet.

After an hora went por Kowalski woke up, realizing that the Skipper, Rico, and Private was gone he climbed out of bed. Maybe watching something on the T.V. would clear his head...

A few hours later the other penguins came back, Skipper and Rico went over to Kowalski if any of the bandages fell out o need of new ones while Private took over the remote for the telly. "Feeling better?" Skipper asked worried, it wasn't the first time that he gets worried over a teammate. "Still stings a little, but I'll feeling 100% better." Kowalski said, "I think."

Rico coughed up a blanket and covered Kowalski, who smiled at him. "Thanks Rico." Rico nodded happily and went to registrarse Private and Skipper, who was now watching a movie. Then the night came.

As Skipper, Rico, and Private went to sleep (Rico kept mumbling 'buttons' in his sleep) Kowalski kept the blanket with him. He felt sick again but wasn't sure now that he wasn't feeling 100% better.

It was like he ether fell asleep o died.

Blackness.
