Tara waits in the дерево in Marlene's habitat. She has been staying there ever since Skipper caught her and Kowalski together, it is for the best. It has been a week since then and after a few days Kowalski started coming to see her at night and a couple times in the mornings. Private has been helping us but we wouldn't risk asking Rico just yet. Finally he comes.

Tara:"There Ты are. I was starting to think Ты weren't coming."
Kowalski:"Sorry." hugs her. "I had a little trouble getting away from Skipper. But I would have let Ты known if I wasn't coming."

They Kiss in the moonlight.

Tara:"Are Ты sure he doesn't know about this?"
Kowalski:"Don't worry. Private will let me know if Skipper leaves the HQ. We've got a man on the inside."
Tara:"So have Ты thought of a way we can be together without having to do it in secret?"
Kowalski:"Your just full of questions. No...But I will think of something."
Tara:"I know Ты will." kisses him. "Why doesn't Skipper like me?"
Kowalski:"He thinks your a spy of his arch ememies."
Tara:laughs. "That's crazy! I'm just an ordianry penguin."
Kowalski:"No...Your an extordinary penguin."

They Kiss and lay down in the tree. They watch the stars and end up falling asleep.
Kowalski wakes up the Далее day, it is almost noon. He gets up and gives Tara a qucik Kiss on the cheek as she sleeps. He slides back to the HQ on his stomach and bottle in his flipper. When he jumps into the HQ the others are waiting for him at the table. Skipper looks very angry.

Skipper:"Kowalski where were you?"
Kowalski:holds up the bottle. "Just needed to get something for an experiment."
Skipper:"It took Ты all night?"
Kowalski:"Um no...I um...Left really early."
Skipper:"Without letting me know?"
Kowalski:"I didn't want to wake you."
Skipper:"Give it up Kowalski. Your little wingman told us everything."
Private:licks a butterscott lollipop. "I'm sorry Kowalski! They tricked me!" licks the lolli happily.

Back in Marlene's habitat Tara is just waking up. She jumps down from the дерево and Marlene comes out of the water. They walks wround the zoo talking. When they walk past the пингвин habitat they stop. Tara asks Marlene to get the rest of her things, Tara doesn't feel comfortable going in there. Marlene jumps down into the HQ.

Skipper:"For God's sake Kowalski! Why is she so important to you! A soldier shows no emotions! They just slow you...!" trails off when he see Marlene. "Marlene can't Ты knock!?"
Marlene:"Calm down Skipper. I just came to get the rest of Tara's things...She is a good пингвин Ты know."
Skipper:"No I don't know. And I don't care! She is a spy!"
Marlene:"No she's not! She is just a normal penguin!"
Rico:"Agrrrgahawagah!"
Private:nods. "Rico's right, Skipper. We have talked to her and been around her. There is nothing spyish about her."

Tara comes down into the HQ. She stands Далее Marlene and Kowalski and keeps her gaze on Skipper, trying to stare him down.

Tara:"I'm not a spy Skipper. I just want to fit in here."

The rest of the Животные nod, except for Skipper.

Skipper:sighs. "I guess we could use another member of the team."

There are cheers and hugs. Kowalski hugs Tara and kisses her. They hear a lound nosie above and the penguins go onto the platform. They wait in their line as Alice come across on a board. She bends down and picks up Tara.

Alice:"Well I hope Ты had a nice visit, but it to go home." she says, clearly not caring.
Tara:"What!? This is my home!"

...To Be Continued. What do Ты think?
