“Sorry about that compadre. Not too much I can do about him. Anyway, we are going to help u get over this.” Skipper told Kowalski after Julien’s attempted interference. “But how?” Kowalski asked. “Ugh! Enough Kowalski! I’ve had enough of your ‘buts’!” Private suppressed a giggle. “Private! Do u have to giggle at every ‘but’ reference?” Skipper asked the young cadet angrily. “Sorry sir.” Private replied. “What do u want to do Kowalski?” Skipper asked his lieutenant. “Wallow in self-pity…” Kowalski muttered. Skipper slapped him. “Kowalski! There’s gotta be something we can do that would keep your mind off of her! I need options! Now does anybody who’d last name doesn’t end in ‘Owalski’ have any?” Skipper asked. Rico hacked up some dynamite and laughed hysterically. “KABOOM!!! KABOOM!!!” Kowalski covered his head with his flippers. “NO!!!” He exclaimed. “RICO!” Skipper walked quickly over to him and blew out the fuse. Rico re-swallowed the dynamite sadly. Kowalski walked over to Skipper.

“Can’t u just give me some time to think first? I think it’ll be easier to forget after I’ve had time to think it over. Please Skipper?” Kowalski pleaded. Skipper sighed. “Fine. u have until 1200 hours tomorrow. Not a seconde later. Then u need to get your mind off of her. Understood?”

“Yes Skipper. Understood.” Kowalski said, then left the habitat to walk around the zoo.

Once outside, he realized that was probably the worst place he could’ve gone. “Hello smelly water-bird!” I knew you’d come seeking my assistancing!” Julien exclaimed walking up to him. “Julien! Please! I just wanna be alone!” As usual, Julien ignored him. “So, I thought over your mammal vis lady problem and came up with a solution that will make u happy once again!” Kowalski rolled his eyes. “Why all of the sudden do u care about my happiness?” He asked him. “Well what have I done to make u assume that I am so shellfishy?” Just then Maurice came running up.

“King Julien! Mort got himself stuck in the blender!” Maurice told him in a panic. “Oh no! This is terribleness! Oh Maurice what will we be doing?” Julien asked. “I don’t know but Mort is pretty scared…”

“Mort? I am meaning what will we be doing about my smoothie order?! I am so parched!” Julien zei holding his throat. “You be doing something about my smoothie problem! And, u know, Mort if u have time…” Julien commanded.

Maurice sighed. “Right…On it…” He zei walking away. Julien turned back to Kowalski who was crossing his flippers. “What? Eh, where were we now?”

“What makes me think you’re selfish.” He answered still crossing his flippers, obviously not amused with Julien.

“Oh yes. It is obvious that I am not so shellfishy. Anywho…my idea is this: u will go to the vis lady, and u will profess your love for her, then you’ll fall in love, then u will live happily never after! HAHA!” Julien told him.

“I don’t know Julien…even if I wanted to, Skipper would never agree to it…”

“Who is saying u are needing permission? Just go u crazy beast! Go to her! Go!” Julien said, quite dramatically…on one knee thrusting his arm toward the zoo exit.

“What if she still doesn’t love me?” Julien stood back up. “Well then u tried, hart-, hart is broken, the end. But trust me, my advice never fails!” Julien assured him. “You know what Julien? I think I’m gonna do it.” Kowalski told him smiling.

“Yes! I knew u would agree! Go to her!”

“I’m goin’ to her!” Kowalski zei walking toward the zoo gates.

“Keep on goin’!”

“I’mma keep on goin’!”

“Go and tell her everything!”

“Um…okay I think I get it now…” Kowalski shouted back to Julien still headed toward the exit.

“Best of luckings!” Julien yelled to him and moments later Kowalski was gone.

Back at the HQ…

    “Skipper? Kowalski’s been gone a long time…should we be worried?” Private asked when he noticed that I had been almost an uur since Kowalski left. “You know what? Kowalski has been gone a long time…Maybe we should go out and look for him.” Skipper answered. Rico spoke from behind his comic. “Uh-huh.” Skipper rubbed his chin. “I just don’t know why he’d be gone so—Oh no…RINGTAIL! I’LL KILL HIM!” Skipper screamed in realization. He was running out of the habitat in panic, Private and Rico behind him trying to keep up before Skipper did something he’d regret.

    Skipper leaped into the lemur habitat in rage. “WHAT DID u DO TO KOWALSKI!? WHAT DID u SAY TO HIM!? WHERE IS HE?! ANSWER ME!” Skipper yelled tackling Julien. Private and Rico ran up to him and tried to pull him off. “GET HIM OFF YOUR KING! OW! YOU’RE HURTING ME!” Julien exclaimed struggling to get Skipper off of him. “Get off Skipper!” Private yelled as he and Rico struggled to get Skipper off of Julien.
    
Maurice was standing door sipping a smoothie watching intently. Finally Private and Rico managed to pry Skipper off Julien. “TALK RINGTAIL!” Skipper shouted at the top, boven of his lungs. “All I did was give the smarty pants pinguïn some advice!” Julien zei standing up, dusting himself off, and adjusting his crown. “WHERE IS HE?!”

    “He is pursuing his vis lady love. And u should let him…killjoy…”

    “DO u REALIZE WHAT YOU’VE DONE!?!? IF BLOWHOLE SEES HIM HE COULD REMEMBER EVERYTHING! NOT TO MENTION THAT KOWALSKI NEEDS TO GET OVER HER ANYWAY!” Skipper was still struggling to break free from Private and Rico’s grasp. “Well! u are needing to be shutting your beak-hole! Because my advice never fails!” Julien zei pointing at Skipper.

    “OH LET ME AT HIM!” Skipper exclaimed struggling harder to free himself. “Skipper! Beating up Julien won’t do any good! We need to catch up to Kowalski before he gets to Coney Island!” Private pointed out. “No, but it’d make me feel better!” Skipper said, then he considered and sighed angrily as he stopped struggling. “Fine. Let’s go. I’ll deal with u later!” Skipper zei pointing at Julien, who scoffed at his flipper. “Roll out men.” The penguins, after flipping out of the lemur habitat, slid in pursuit of Kowalski.
