The successivo morning, Antonio arrived at the pinguino habitat promptly at noon. The other penguins went on with their duties while Antonio and Skipper sat across from each other at the tavolo in HQ.

“So, what do te want to know?” Skipper asked folding his flippers on the table.

“Well, I’m not sure where to begin,” Antonio replied. “I want to know everything,” he detto wistfully, resting his chin on his fist and closing his eyes. When he opened them, Skipper was staring at him impatiently, with an eyebrow arched. Antonio awkwardly cleared his throat.

“Well,” Skipper started, breaking the silence, “how about te just tell me about yourself and I’ll tell te what Marlene would like.”

“Good idea,” Antonio said. “Well, I was thinking for our data later, I would take her to get some cotton candy.”

“Okay, let me tell te where you’re going wrong,” Skipper detto casually.

Antonio blinked in surprise. “What?”

“First off, dial back on calling it a ‘date,’” Skipper detto putting air Citazioni around date. “Even if she does like you, she’ll feel like you’re moving too fast.”

“Not a date,” Antonio acknowledged. “Got it.”

“Second, if te want to get to know each other, wait before getting something to eat, unless she asks for it, of course,” Skipper explained. “Marlene likes to talk, but she also likes to listen. Be sure there’s an equal balance there. Eating will be a distraction.”

“Talk a lot, listen a lot,” Antonio agreed.

Skipper nodded. “All right. Um, what do te consider a ‘good time’ with a woman?” he asked studying him carefully.

Antonio thought for a moment. “Well, I like to make my women feel special. What would make her feel special?” he asked leaning inoltrare, avanti on his elbows.

Skipper rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “She likes to feel important, like te care about her. But she also values her independence. Don’t be too clingy, and don’t make her feel like she’s fragile, because she’s not,” he detto shooting him a warning look.

Antonio shook his head. “Never. Um, what would make her feel fragile?” he asked.

“Things like wanting to do everything for her o calling her delicate,” Skipper replied.

Antonio seemed reluctant, but he nodded. “Give her independence, don’t make her feel fragile,” he said, distastefully emphasizing the word fragile. “What else?”

“Don’t play games with her, like buying her a snow cone just to make her cold and te can ‘keep her warm,’ o getting her nice things just so te can be ‘rewarded,’” he detto narrowing his eyes. “She wants someone real.”

“I give te my word, señor,” Antonio detto putting his right paw over his cuore and raising his left, “I would never treat Marlene in such a disrespectful manner. She deserves to be treated like the fine lady she is,” he assured him.

Skipper studied him carefully, and then nodded. “Agreed.”

Antonio smiled. “Do te think I should bring her flowers? She seems to Amore flowers,” he asked.

“She does,” Skipper replied. “Her preferiti are the lisianthus—purple, preferably.”

“My, te do know Marlene very well, don’t you?” Antonio observed studying him carefully.

“Affirmative,” Skipper replied. “What else do te want to know?”

“How long have te known her?” Antonio asked.

“Almost six years,” Skipper answered. “Why?”

“Have te two ever . . .?” His voice trailed, unsure of how to finish the question.

“Ever what?” Skipper asked sternly, narrowing his eyes.

Antonio swallowed. Something told him not to tick him off. “Nevermind. Thank te for your help,” he detto standing. “I hope I am welcome to return if I require your advice?”

Skipper stood with him. “Sure. I need to keep my eye on you, anyway. Might as well make it up close and personal. It’ll save me the trouble of finding out where te live,” he detto emotionlessly.

Antonio started laughing, but Skipper just arched an eyebrow, as if trying to understand what was funny. Antonio’s smile faded and he coughed awkwardly.

“I think I’ll go meet Marlene early. I’m not sure I can wait much longer,” Antonio said, attempting to change the subject.

“How much earlier are we talking?” Skipper asked.

“About an hour,” Antonio answered.

Skipper rolled his eyes. “Do te know anything about women? Never pick your lady up early. If she’s really getting ready to see you, she’s going to need that hour,” he said.

Antonio nodded. “Of course. You’re probably right. I guess I’ll, um, see te later, then?” Antonio detto without meeting his eye.

“Guess so,” Skipper affirmed.

Antonio nodded and made his way for the hatch. He was starting to think Skipper hadn’t been joking, and maybe never was.

“Ah, there te are, Skipper,” Kowalski detto from Alice’s computer as Skipper hopped up on the desk. “How was your discussion with Antonio?”

“It was fine,” Skipper replied looking at the screen. “How’s it coming on getting a location on our shipment?”

Kowalski glanced at him. “Should be here in a couple of days. So, what’s Antonio like? Do te think he’s a good match for Marlene?”

“So far, I think he seems like an okay guy. Pretty clueless, but decent,” Skipper replied.

Kowalski arched an eyebrow. “Like, Julien clueless o just romantically clueless?”

Skipper thought for a moment. “As far as I know, just romantically.”

“What makes te say that?” Private asked.

“Well,” Skipper reconsidered, “maybe just clueless in being romantic specifically with Marlene,” he admitted.

“Well, that’s why he wanted your help,” Kowalski said, “so he could fix that.”

Skipper nodded. “Right.”

“Is something wrong, sir?” Private asked.

Skipper shook his head. “No, nothing’s wrong. I just keep feeling like there’s something about him I don’t like, but I can’t pinpoint what exactly.”

Kowalski thought for a moment. “Do te think he seems too forthcoming?”

Skipper shook his head. “No, it’s not that. I don’t know, maybe I’m just paranoid that he’ll hurt her,” he detto growling, his face twisting into a grimace, “because if he does . . .”

Skipper didn’t need to finish his sentence for the team to get the picture. Rico whistled as if surprised da his remark. Skipper took a deep breath to digita himself.

“Apologies, boys,” he detto without making eye contact. “I just don’t like the thought of good Friends getting hurt.”

The boys nodded in understanding. Marlene was their friend too. If Antonio did hurt her, they would be più than happy to help Skipper give him what he deserved.

— § —

Antonio laughed. “You know, in all my life, I have never met anyone quite like you,” he detto leaning toward Marlene, who was sitting successivo to him in the erba under a albero in the park.

Marlene shrank bashfully. “Is that a good thing?” she asked pushing some pelliccia behind her ear.

Antonio smiled. “That is a very good thing,” he replied tipping her chin. Marlene looked up at him and then turned her head back down, fiddling with the grass. When she glanced back up, Antonio was watching her with a calm smile.

“So,” Antonio detto breaking eye contact, “I brought te these,” Antonio detto reaching behind him and pulling out some flowers.

Marlene gasped in surprise. “Purple lisianthus? How did te know these are my favorite?” she asked accepting them and smelling their sweet fragrance.

Antonio arched a brow. “Are they? I just happened to see them and was struck da their beauty, and I was reminded of you,” he detto gently tracing her jawline with his finger, causing her to hide her face behind the fiori timidly.

“Antonio!” she protested. “We barely know each other.”

“Ah, but I want that to change,” Antonio replied. “I want to know everything about you. Marlene, I just can’t get te out of my head! Please, querida, go on one data with me, and if te never want to see me again, I will leave te alone.”

Marlene looked at him over the fiori and smiled. “O-Okay,” she agreed. “When?”

Antonio smiled broadly and got to his feet. “Tonight? About seven?” he asked helping Marlene to her feet.

“Okay,” Marlene agreed, clutching the fiori to her chest.

¡Estupendo!” Antonio detto happily. “Then I will see te at seven?”

Marlene smiled. “Seven.”

— § —

“I don’t know,” Skipper detto to Kowalski atop their island, “all I remember is some samurai wannabe dressed like Bruce Lee.”

“That doesn’t even make sense,” Kowalski replied.

Before he could say anything else, Antonio dropped into their habitat.

“Ah! Skipper!” he detto picking him up and spinning him around.

“Whoa!” Skipper protested.

Antonio set him down. “Lo siento, mi amigo. I am just so happy. Marlene agreed to go on a data with me. I was hoping te could give me some tips on where to take her.”

“Sure,” Skipper replied, “let’s go down in HQ.”

Antonio followed Skipper down the hatch and the two sat across the tavolo from each other as they had earlier that day.

“So, what should I do? I want everything to be perfect,” Antonio said. “I was thinking I could take her for a swim as the sun sets.”

Skipper thought about it. “You could, but if you’re looking for romance, wait until the moon comes out for the swim. te won’t believe what the moonlight does to her eyes,” he detto looking at the edge of the table. When Antonio didn’t reply, he looked up to see him studying him carefully. “What?”

Antonio sighed and shook his head. “Nothing. So, moonlight swim, even better,” he agreed.

“Remember what I detto about balancing talking and listening, too,” Skipper said.

“Right,” Antonio replied.

Skipper thought again and shrugged. “Well, she’d probably be up for almost anything,” he said. “What else did te have in mind?”

“Anything,” Antonio detto thoughtfully.

Almost,” Skipper warned.

Antonio held up his paws innocently. “I know, I know,” he detto defensively. “You are muy protective of her, aren’t you?”

Skipper met his eye. “I told you; she’s one of my closest friends. te bet your salmone I’m protective of her.”

Antonio felt a chill tapdance on his spine at his threatening tone and glare. He cleared his throat and nodded. “Of course. I assure te I will be a complete gentleman to her. She deserves nothing less,” he said.

Skipper still didn’t look convinced, but he let it go—on the outside, at least. “Anyway,” he detto breaking eye contact, “continue.”

Antonio furrowed his brow. “What were we talking about?”

Skipper rolled his eyes. “The date? Things to do on it?”

“Right, right,” Antonio detto shaking the confusion out of his head. “Um, what do te think we should eat?”

“She loves oysters on half-shells,” Skipper replied.

Antonio thought for a moment. “Where would I find those?”

“I’ll tell Private to score te some from our Cibo storage,” Skipper offered.

Antonio smiled. “¡Gracias! te are a true friend, señor,” he detto putting a paw over his heart. Skipper looked at him quizzically, as if questioning the sincerity of his statement, but then he shrugged.

“Yeah, yeah, de nada o whatever,” Skipper answered with a dismissive wave of his flipper. “So we have a moonlight swim and oysters. What else?”

“Maybe a walk around the park, just to talk,” Antonio suggested.

“Good,” Skipper replied. “Anything else?”

“I was thinking I might play a song for her on my Spanish guitar,” Antonio said.

Skipper darted a look at him. “You know Spanish guitar?” he asked.

,” Antonio replied. “Why?”

Skipper looked down thoughtfully. “Marlene loves Spanish guitar,” he detto feeling the texture of the table.

Antonio grinned. “Even better,” he detto with excitement. “I must prepare a song for her before I meet her tonight,” he detto getting to his feet.

Skipper looked up. “What time tonight?” he asked.

“Seven,” Antonio answered wistfully. “Why?”

“Just asking,” Skipper replied as he rose to his feet as well. “Good luck.”

Gracias,” Antonio said. “Hasta luego.”

Skipper nodded as Antonio made his way toward the hatch. Kowalski dropped in as soon as he left.

“How did it go?” he asked coming to the table.

“Fine, I guess,” Skipper answered. “He’s got a data with Marlene at seven,” he detto looking across the room in thought.

Kowalski arched a brow. “What’s wrong?” he asked.

“I don’t know. Something’s still off about him. I can feel it in my gut. Just hearing his name makes me—cringe,” Skipper answered with a grimace. “Maybe he’s a government spy.”

Kowalski rolled his eyes. “Unlikely,” he detto impassively.

Skipper looked at him. “I don’t really understand it. He hasn’t done anything to render suspicion,” he detto rubbing his chin, “but my gut has never been wrong before.”

“Hm,” Kowalski replied thoughtfully, “maybe it’s just your fear that Marlene will be hurt if he isn’t the one. No one wants to see a good friend upset.”

“So te feel it too?” Skipper challenged. “That wrenching feeling in your gut whenever te go near him!”

“Well, no,” Kowalski answered. “I think he seems like a decent guy, but I can’t say I’m not keeping an eye on him too, if only at a distance.”

“Well, I feel it. There’s something he isn’t telling anyone. I know it,” Skipper replied narrowing his eyes in suspicion.

“What are te going to do about it?” Kowalski asked.

Skipper looked at him. “I think I’m going to oversee this ‘date,’ just to make sure he doesn’t try anything,” he said.

“Do what te need to do,” Kowalski replied. “I never domanda your gut. If te need help, just let me know.”

Skipper nodded. “Thanks, Kowalski, but I think I’ll do this alone. It’ll be easier to stay hidden that way,” he said.

Kowalski nodded back. “All right. Be careful.”

The penguins are working on a new secret operation on protecting the HQ if Dr. Blowhole ever ambushes them. Skipper stands beside an ancient looking projector that shows the defenses that Kowalski will have to create today, and the barriers that Rico and Private will have to set up as Skipper plans the whole process.
Skipper: Ok, so on the left side, we'll add in a electrification fence. 10,000 bolts of sheer mortal danger will definitely stop that bottlenose freak!
Private: But Skippa, shouldn't we put some fence over around the right side of the HQ too?

The Truth, Lies, and Doris - A Dorski Fanfiction: Part 1

"Gah!"
    Kowalski woke up with a jolt, almost awakening the team from their deep slumber. He heard the soft thump of his cuore pounding in his chest. Trying to calm himself, he quietly slipped out of his bunk and peered at the alarm clock.
"3:40?! I got to get back to sleep! Tomorrow there is agility training!"
    Kowalski rubbed his eyes and quietly headed back to the small bunk, oblivious to Skipper's disappearance.

Note: The following is the first of three samples I will be posting here of my FanFiction.net Scrivere project “A Skilene-Filled September.” In the project, I will write and pubblica one short story daily in the mese of September 2010 which will explain one possible way that Skipper and Marlene could get together for the first time. My personal Scrivere style has always been to portray Skipper and Marlene as just really good Friends and to only “hint” at something more, but I have decided to exempt this project -- and only this project -- from that standard.

CHAPTER ONE: Long time no see, bro!

It was around 10:00 pm in the New York City. Alice the Zookeeper was standing in front of the cucina desk, her ears full of classic rock music, shaking her hips in dancing moves and humming her favourite song. She was in quite a good frame of mind right now. The visitors were gone, the animali were fast asleep, the whole zoo area was dead calm and still and nobody would interrupt her. Since she had the whole cucina to her own disposition she decided to take the advantage of it and prepare herself her favourite meal, Perfetto Deluxe, she hadn't been eating...

Our Amore isn't like a Amore story,
But I wish it was.

I wish te would carry me with your white horse,
and come in with the rain.

I wish te detto that we would be forever and always,
and have that happy ending, fairy tales have.

I remember when I first met you,
I was fifteen to be exact.

Sparks flew around me when I saw your beautiful eyes
You made me crazier and crazier every minuto I spent time with you.

If te ask me if I Amore him,
I'd lie.

I'd write poems about te and decorate my whole bacheca with every memory I spent with you,
I'd give te half of my cuore if te ever need it,
I'd scream till my lungs...

My first ever Kico fic! :D

I sit silently watching Kowalski from afar.
Watching the pinguino create is my only redemption from the empty void I call life.
And I sit here, taking in Kowalski with all of my senses.
Sound? His voice melts my soul and sends tingles down my spine every time he addresses my name.
Touch? He was softer than the tiniest down feather of a newly hatched goose.
The touch of Kowalski sends me wild.
Sight? Eyes like the vast ocean, and a black and white body like that of the homeland Antarctica.
Smell? A touch of salmon, some phosphoric acid, salt...

This is a story about friendship and love.
How would emotions change the penguin's life? Can the cuore be stronger than the psyche?

This here's the story.




Surprise, Surprise.

Marlene was enjoying herself in her bright pool, Canto loudly and swimming a few rounds, as suddenly an animal landed with a big splash in the water.
Marlene got frightened, she quickly turned to the animal who couldn't swim.
''Hold on!'', she shouted and swam as fast as an Arrow to save the poor animal. It was a rendeer.

She carried it in her habitat and as she looked at the rendeer's face, she smiled...

My hands clung to the blood like Velcro. Had this really happened? I asked myself repeatedly. I would always get the same answer.

Now I walk down the street, with fear on my face that another innocent soul has been murdered. I walk, and I walk. I watch all of the suspicious characters. I pull my cappuccio closer, hoping to seek comfort in the world I now know. I know it is cruel. I keep on walking.

Now I am almost to my apartment. I pray to god to keep me safe. He replies. I walk home unscathed, even though knowing I must walk into the cruel world again. I sit on the couch, to eat a snack, and thank...

At precisely 0345 in the morning, Skipper colomba out of his bunk to shut off the alarm clock he had set for himself before its noise woke up the others. He had only 45 minuti to prepare before he met with Marlene to take her down into the sewer to hideout from the humans, namely the zoo staff that were tasked with preparing her to be transported to St. Louis.

It was night, all animali in the zoo were sleeping. Kowalski lay twitching in his sleep, he was dreaming. He was running throgh a jungle that some-what resembled the reptile house. A large creature was chasing him.He was running on a small dirt path that cut through the trees,there was many bushes and dense plants bordering it. Kowalski could't tell what the creature was because it was following him while staying in the bushes. There was s growl and it lept from the bushes, just before the creature landed on Kowalski, it turned into a female penguin. She pinned him to the ground and smiled...

Chapter 9

Rico opened his eye a little and peeked. He then saw a pair of red eyes glaring down into his blue eyes. They turned round and round until it couldn’t find Rico, and then the red blurred out. Rico turned back to see Dru, who was looking at the files delivered da Richard.

“Huh…The North California Zoo.” She chuckled suspiciously. She then turned to Rico and spread the files on the table. It was one perfectly sealed letter coming from the North California Zoo. She ripped the edges slowly and out she popped a letter. Dru read it out loud. “You are invited to my wedding.”...
