Friday came.
It was time for their date. Kam was getting ready in Marlene's habitat, hoặc at least that's what she kept reminding herself. Being constantly pricked and poked seemed like a lot to go through just to get ready. Then she got out the big guns.
Beakstick.
"No! There is no way bạn are putting that on me!" Kam jumped up
"Come on, Kam!"
"No! I let bạn poke me, shine my feathers, silk my beak, and who knows what else! This draws the line!"
Suddenly a knock came at Marlene's habitat entrance. Kam let out a tiny yelp of fear. Marlene laughed.
"I'm scared." Kam whispered.
"It's perfectly normal. Just go with it." Marlene encouraged.
"Come in, Rico!" she shouted to the front of her cave. Rico stepped in from the shadows of the night. He had a corsage on his chest, and his Mohawk was streaked back. All in all, he looked – hot. Kam grinned. She hadn't expected him to look this sexy.
Rico held out a flower. He looked at her expectantly. They walked out to the car together. Kam took the flower.
"Oh, thank bạn Rico! How did bạn know I liked Nymphaea mexicana – hoặc the Yellow Water-lily?" Rico shrugged.
To be completely honest, he had picked it out of Marlene's hoa garden. He opened the car door for Kam. Kam giggled a bit, and then stepped in. She could do this, she thought to herself. It was just a matter on staying calm, and being herself.
Rico jumped in the other side and gunned the engine. Kam laughed. She managed to wave bye to Marlene just as Rico sped off into the night. Kam laughed the whole time. She had never had so much fun before! Trust Rico to turn a first ngày into a high-speed race.
Rico raced around the zoo a few times, finally stopping near the Zoovenier shop. There was a large white screen set up. A light flickered on, and the movie began.
It was a doctoral soap movie. She had heard this before. She shrugged her shoulders.
Later in the movie, when the Doctor and the Nurse started making out, Kam reached for her drink in the cup holder. At the same time, Rico reached for his. Their hands met, eyes moving to the other penguin. Neither of them worried about the drink again, holding flippers.
bởi the end of the movie, Kam had fallen asleep. Her head lay on Rico's shoulders. Rico was careful not to wake her, and drove very slowly back to the secret entrance. He didn't want this to end. Rico carried Kam back to her bunk, tucking her in carefully. Kam smiled as he got nearer. He pecked her carefully on the cheek, then climbed into his bunk.
Then a câu hỏi arose. What were they going to tell Skipper about where they were? Things were bound to get awkward if they chose the truth. He spent hours struggling to find a compatible answer. bởi the time he fell asleep, he was ready for the morning light.
THE tiếp theo MORNING
Skipper woke up early. He grunted out of bed, taking notice to the two back in bed. He had an inkling of what went on last night. He just needed them to admit it. He'd have to scare them.
He shouted "GET UP!" to the three. Mainly at Kam and Rico. Private fell out of bed, landing on his head.
"Private, go up hàng đầu, đầu trang for a một phút please. I need to talk to these two." Private obeyed, and quick. He practically jumped out of the room. He had a good notion of what was coming.
Rico and Kam looked nervous.
"Where the bloody heck were bạn two last night?" Skipper demanded. Before Kam could come up with a lie, Rico spilled his guts out.
"Aghidblabido, urggh, date!" he shouted
"You went out on a date?"
"Y – Yes…." Kam replied in a whisper.
"Well, how'd it go?"
The two of them just stared at Skipper's reaction.
"You're not – mad?" Kam asked.
"Of course I am. And bạn two are going to be punished. But it won't be as hard, since bạn told me the truth."
"And you're not upset that we're going out?"
"Upset? Why would I be upset? Most of my dates in the army involved me sneaking out after dark, and I can tell bạn two like each other. Even before the incident, I could see the signs. Just tiếp theo time, tell me when bạn plan something like that. Okay?"
They nodded. "Good. Now go scrub the habitats."
"The chimps and elephants, too?" Kam asked. "M – Hmm." Skipper nodded, smiling. They groaned as they walked off to their new 'missions'.
To make a long story short, it was unpleasant. After they were done with cleaning the habitats, they went over to the cá heo exhibit and enjoyed the show.
Kam and Rico went out a few thêm times. Eventually, they kissed. It was the most wonderful five giây of Kam's existence.
A few mornings later, Kam woke up with a pain in her side. She groaned and rubbed her stomach.
Her rather large stomach.
She looked down at herself. "OH MY GALILEAN SCIENCE!" she shouted.
The team burst out of their bunks. They looked back at Kam, who was still in bed. They gasped when they saw what was resting at her feet.
An Egg. And judging bởi the bulge in her stomach, another was on the way in a few hours.
