anteprima PROMO CHAPTER!

PENGUINS’ HEADQUARTERS @ CENTRAL PARK ZOO

SKIPPER
Alright, boys.
Commence ‘Operation: Spring Cleaning’.

All the penguins started their Spring Cleaning da scrubbing the floors, sweeping up the clutter, and polishing the windows. Then, they began to throw away all the old unnecessary junk. Rico got rid of any old unused weapons at his disposal, while Private cleaned out their fridge. Kowalski got rid of any unused chemicals, unnecessary lab equipment, and inventions that he deemed useless, which he did not intend to complete from his lab. Skipper got rid of any outdated newspapers, magazines, and other unnecessary miscellaneous clutter.

After they have completed their ‘Spring Cleaning’ tasks, they all stood together in a line admiring their handiwork.

SKIPPER    
Well done. I think we’ve outdone ourselves this time. Just look at this place shine.

Their HQ was exceptionally clean that it was sparkling, like glitter, all over.

SKIPPER
(takes in a deep breathe)
Ah, smell the wonderful lemony freshness. Perfecto for the coming Spring.
So, Kowalski? Anything else that we should be aware of before the official first giorno of Spring.

KOWALSKI
(pulls out a calendar from who-knows-where)
Let’s see…. Just four days fa on the 13th, it was the giorno that Daylight Savings Time began, which I already took the liberty to “Spring Ahead” all the clocks in the zoo, as our human overlords would say, da revising our current time da adding an extra hour.

SKIPPER
I see. Hm…There is one thing that I don’t get?

KOWALSKI
What’s that, Skipper?

SKIPPER
Just what possessed the humans make something so simple, like keeping track of time, into a più complicated situation.

RICO
(shrugged)
I-don-know, spazio Squids.

SKIPPER
(thinking it over)
spazio Squids, te may be onto something Rico.

KOWALSKI
Skipper, I can assure te that this has nothing to do with spazio Squids.

SKIPPER
(looks at Kowalski suspiciously and stated slowly)
How can te be so sure?

KOWALSKI
For starters, spazio Squids was my first theory.
And sadly, it was proven incorrect after I saw a documentary just the other giorno explaining that Daylight Savings Time (or the technical term ‘DST’ as I would like to call it) was first conceived da a Mr. Benjamin Franklin during 1784 to make better use of daylight hours. Thus, DST is also a way to save energy in the summer months da extending the daylight hours into the evening when most would be using più lights and electricity.

SKIPPER
Kowalski, what did I tell te about showing-off.

KOWALSKI
Whaat? te asked. te can’t possibly expect me to put a quarter in the show-off jar when te ask ‘how can I be sure’ that spazio Squids are not behind this human phenomenon called DST.

SKIPPER
(sighs)
Okay. I asked for a simple ‘how’ explanation (like a sentence o two); I didn’t say ramble on and on like an robot giving me facts that te know full well your sciency jibber-jabber did not reach my ear canal nor did my brain understood what te just said.

KOWALSKI
First of all, my statement was only three sentences;. So, it wasn’t a long explanation. In fact, it only took me a few minuti to explain what I just did, on the other hand, the documentary I saw on the T.V. was an ora long--

SKIPPER
Kowalski, Simple. Short. Explanation… meaning a sentence will do.

KOWALSKI
Alright. (in a più sarcastic tone) Then, the DST phenomenon is caused da spazio Squids.

PRIVATE
But te just detto that it can’t –

KOWALSKI
(puts his flipper up to cut Private off)
Nope. Simple explanation: spazio Squids. Two words instead of two sentences. Simple enough for ya. (looking @ Skipper for his approval)

SKIPPER
Without the sarcastic attitude.

KOWALSKI
Whose being sarcastic? I totally believe that spazio Squids attacked the human overlords replacing their normal simplistic logic with complicated versions on how to tell time, which is NO WAY shape o form a reason to save energy.

SKIPPER
te gonna regret it if what te just detto turns out to be the real truth behind this DST madness. But that was simpler to understand. successivo time, just start with that and spare us the jibber-jabber.

KOWALSKI
Humph.

SKIPPER
What did I say about the attitude. Now what else should we be aware of before Spring’s here officially.

KOWALSKI
Well, in two days on the 19th is supposedly a so-call ‘Supermoom’ is to appear just one giorno before the March Equinox, o the giorno that marks the beginning of Spring.

SKIPPER
(confused)
Supermoon?

KOWALSKI
Yes, to put simply ‘Supermoon’ is just when the moon is at its closest point to the Earth.

RICO
(gasps)
spazio Squids.

PRIVATE
Don’t be silly, Rico. spazio Squids are on Mars not the moon.

SKIPPER
That’s what those Squids want us to think, but we’re onto them. They won’t catch us off guard, Right Kowalski?

KOWALSKI
Uh, why (contemplates his answer slyly) yes. Of course, Skipper.
(in a più normal tone) But Also, before the invasion of the Squids on the 19th, today is a –

Then Marlene barges in and cuts off Kowalski.

MALENE
HOLIDAY! Whoo--

SKIPPER
Marlene, what did we tell te about sneaking up on us like that.

MARLENE    
Well, for one, I wasn’t sneaking. And two, it’s a HOLIDAY!

SKIPPER    
Holiday, huh? I don’t recall any special days in March. Do te Kowalski?

KOWALSKI    
Actually, I WAS gonna say that the calendar indicates that today is –

MARLENE
(interrupts Kowalski again in a very excited tone)     
ST.P’s DAY!

Kowalski sighs deeply and loud enough to let Marlene know just how agitated he was that he was interrupted.

MARLENE
(to Kowalski)
Sorry. Got excited.

SKIPPER    
Marlene! Watch your language.
te know, Private’s in the room.

Private, on the other hand, was giggling like a naughty schoolgirl as soon as Marlene detto St. P’s Day. It seems that the young private (in his own mind) got the impression that Marlene was talking about a giorno that celebrates urinating, which amused Private enough for him to fall over backward from laughing too hard, which earned him the odd stares from his comrades.
