Killer turned around nervously.
Ki: "Uh, Skipper .... what are u doing awake?"
S: "You weren't leaving, were you?"
Ki: "No, I was ..... just going for a walk."
S: "Come on, if u planning on coming back for Private, u would tell him u were going to fake your death. That's right, Killer, I know what's off about you. u must be so messed up to walk out on him. I've got news for you. You're never going to find a better kid."
Ki: "I know, I know, I'm just afraid of what might happen. I mean, if the hunters return and .... what if I mess up again."
S: "You leave and you're messing up majorly. Now, when we rescue them u better make up a pretty darn good excuse why he can't live with you!"
Ki: "I will,"
S: "You better of else!"

Skipper dreamed through, what was left of, the night. In the morning, he woke to find he was the only one there. He shook his head in disgust and proceeded his mission. Solo.

Nicole gave him a peck on the cheek and he responded door slowly touching his beak it her's. She pulled herself back.
N: "Are we really doing this?"
K: "I think so,"
N: "Maybe ... we should wait."
K: "What? Why? We only have eachother and both of us likes the other!"
N: "I know .... but I think we should slow down. Like u zei .... both of us probably won't make it out of here. Maybe it's best if we don't get so far into this."
K: "Wow, I mean .... if u u just feel sorry for me just say so."
N: "No! It's not that! If u just listen!"
K: "What to u breaking my heart?! No thanks!"
N: "Fine, go!"
Kowalski stormed off.

Private rubbed the back of his head and wrapped his flippers tightly around the snarling Rico.
P: "I'm so happy you're okay!"
R: "dsk hsdgjkvhdk!"
P: "What?!"
R: "You killed Max!"
P: "Rico, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! u have to forgive me!"
Rico punched Private in the eye. The unarmed pinguïn fell to the ground. Rico duif for the penguin, but Private slid out of the way. Rico seized Private's left leg and dragged him closer. Unexpectedly Rico chomped down on Private's neck and began to shake him around.
P: "What are u doing to me?!"
R: "Food!"

Kowalski stood far across the room from Nicole pacing.
K: "It's not my fault! She's the one who started it!"
He stopped.
K: "What am I doing?!"
Kowalski raced toward Nicole.
K: "Nicole! I'm sorry!"
Exactly when he reached her, the door slammed open. A man approached them and went to grab Nicole but Kowalski stepped in front of her. The man just swept Kowalski up.
N: "Kowalski!"
K: "I'll be okay, Nicole! I promise!"
With that Kowalski and the man left the room.

Private was shocked.
P: "I thought it was because I killed Max!"
R: "It's both! Especially that!"
Tears began to drizzle down Private's face.
P: "Please, make it quick."
Rico got off Private.
R: "Leave before I change my mind! If u come back you're DEAD!"
Rico went into a feedle position and began sobbing. Private almost went to comfort him but reminded himself that it could be a snare. He waddled off melonchally.

Kowalski was tossed in the same room as the two fraying penguins. After searching in the crowd Kowalski was about to give up. When he heard a soft sobbing. Following the noise, he ended up finding Private in the corner crying.
K: "Private?"
P: "Kowalski? No, stay away from me! I'm a monster!"
Kowalski sat down volgende to Private.
K: "Listen, I know what happened."
P: "You do?!"
K: "The workers were talking about it. How did u do it?"
P: "I don't know! I had too!"
K: "So u and Skipper were put in the Arena?"
P: "Wait, did u say Skippah?"
K: "Yeah, didn't u kill him?"
P: "No, he faked his death. I killed a chick! And now Rico wants to kill me and eat me!"
K: "Eat you?"
P: "He's starving to death! I'm the one who should be though."
K: "No, Private, u couldn't do anything about what happened. How'd u get all those bruises?"
P: "Rico tried to kill me, remember?"
K: "Let me clean u up."
Kowalski licked his flipper and wiped the young penguin's bloody feathers soothingly.
