All Marlene could do was watch helplessly linto Lilly's angry blue eyes as she was being choked. She could hear the guys banging on the enterance to the HQ, trying to get to Marlene before their teammate mangled her. Then, Lilly did what she had wanted to do the whole time. She gave Marlene a BIG hug! (Don't worry Ты Marlene fans, she's still alive. *for NOW....*) "Huh!?" Marlene asked , releasing the air that had built up inside her lungs. " Come on! I wasn't gonna kill you! I just wanted Ты to tell me who Ты liked." сказал(-а) Lilly with a smile. " I didn't want to hurt you. I thought the only way Ты wouldn't get hurt is if I kept it a secret." Marlene looked down, ready to cry, when she realizes the guys were still pounding on the door! Lilly unlatches the lock and the penguins come flying out. Tackling Lilly to the floor. " Marlene! Ты okay hun?" Skipper asked worridly. " Yeah Skippie, im fine. We sorted everything out!" Marlene cheered. The boys let out a "woosh" of air at the good news. " Don't worry sir. Nothing like this will EVER happen again. Do Ты forgive me?" Lilly puts on a puppy-dog face. " Yeah. We forgive you." Skipper says as they all give Lilly a group hug. When the guys realize that they look soft, they part, trying to maintain some form of masculinity. " Ты boys head down to HQ. Im gonna spend the remainder of the evening with Marlene." Skipper states to his team. They all ( accept for Lilly) obidiently follow their leader's orders and go to the HQ for free time, just as Skipper begins to walk with Marlene to her habitat. Felling somewhat sorry for Lilly, Marlene looks back at her. Lilly was gazing at the setting sun. When she realized she was being watched, she flashed Marlene a thoughtful smile. Marlene knew she was okay, and left with her boyfriend. Leaving Lilly completely alone. Lilly took out a small heart-shaped locket. Inside, was a picture of Skipper and Lilly hugging on the пляж, пляжный in Madagascar. Lilly threw it far away,laughed,and left.
