Skipper sipped his hot coffee, Kowalski poured a mixture of chemicals in a jar, Private was watching Lunacorns and Rico was brushing his dolls hair. Just then, out of the blue, Private turned around and looked at Skipper .“What is it Private?”. “Umm..Skippah? I have been meaning to ask you this for a while…”Private trailed off. “Im waiting.”. “*Gulp*... How did you end up being who you are?”
Skipper chocked on his coffee. Kowalski poured to much liquid into the jar, which in turn...Exploded. Rico ripped his dolls head off by pulling on her hair to hard. Private gulped again, regretting ever asking the question, because of the look on Skippers face. “For another day Private…For another day.” Private decided to drop the subject and to carry on watching the Lunacorns.

Later that evening, Marlene dropped by. “Hey guys! Hey Skipper, how are you?” Marlene cheerfully smiled. “Ok I guess…Why are you here?” Skipper asked, holding his fourth mug of coffee and stirring it with his fish. “I was wondering Skipper…How did you land up being who you are?” Skipper stared at her for a moment. “Is it national annoy Skipper with the stuiped questions day?” Skipper shouted. “Come on Skipper!!!!”Private whined. A scream rippled through Skippers head ,he frowned and forced the memory away. “As I said before Private, I will tell you when I am ready.” Marlene frowned and turned away, disappointed.

That night, Skipper tossed and turned in bed. He couldn’t sleep, the scream kept coming back to him. He finally drifted off into a very restless sleep, tonight, even though he didn’t know it…He was going to have to face his past again, and this time…Understand it.

*Southern Pole- Coastline, Penguin colony 16*
“Mommy!!!” A little ball of fuzz screamed, it shivered in the freezing Antarctic wind. “Mammma!!” It cried desperately, it tripped and fell in the cold snow. It hadn’t eaten in 7 days, his mom had gone fishing and had never come back. His dad went previously…That’s why his mom went to go look for him ,she never returned. Most of the penguins he knew had disappeared. It had all started the day after a huge boat had come to their shoreline…Men with clubs had come and hurt many of his friend’s moms and dads, lots of them went into a sleep. And red watery-stuff had come from their heads after they had been beaten. He desperately soldiered on ,his dad has always said that you should never give up, no matter what. He heard a blood-curling scream from far away. ”No…MOMMMMYYY!!!!” He recognised her voice anywhere. He will never forget the last thing he ever heard her scream… It left a scar in his memory’s. Suddenly a dark figure moved towards him, he couldn’t see what it was through the thick wind/snow front that was coming from the east. Suddenly it pounced, it was a snow leopard…Its fierce blue eyes looked dangerous. Skipper covered his face, he knew it was the end, suddenly the cat stopped in front of him. It turned around, and growled. A human figure appeared in the distance, the leopard was protecting him! The man moved forward, it held a long metal object in its hands… He lifted it, pulled at the top of it and it made a loading noise. The leopard pounced and landed on top of the man, they wrestled and rolled. The man pulled the metal object towards him, aimed and a loud bang noise went off. The cat fell and landed in the snow, that same red watery stuff covered its chest area…It was still breathing but only barely. The man bent down and laughed. “You think you can beat me at my own game? As soon as I have SP on my side, it’s all over. So you might as well try to go and find your past self and convince her not to run away.” He laughed and stepped over the beautiful cat. The little penguin was terrified, this man didn’t seem friendly at all. “Don’t worry little dynamite…I will take care of you.” The man reached out toward the little penguin and took him in his grasp. Skipper wriggled and tried his best to free himself, it was no use. The man’s icy hands had him…

The trip was awful, Skipper was stuffed in a crate and only had the luxury of eating every few days. Eventually they arrived…In the middle of nowhere. There was just ocean when they stopped the huge boat. The same man took Skippers cage and walked over to the captain. “Its here, thank you…Here’s what I promised you.” The man gave the captain a huge wad of money, the captain grinned and walked off. “Don’t worry dynamite…We are here.” “Where?” Skipper asked. He didn’t expect the man to answer. But the man smiled and replied “Your home.” He jumped…Just jumped off of the boats edge. Horrible thoughts filled the baby Skippers head. What about the propellers? What happens if Sharks come? What…What is he going to do to me? They hit the blood-freezing water, Skipper gasped in shock. The man just took a deep breath, he pressed his shoulder. A type of armour covered his body, it was white… With beautiful patters on it. He touched Skippers rapidly sinking cage, a bubble appeared around it. He took a breath, inserted a mouth piece in his mouth and dived with the bubble containing Skippers cage. They seemed to swim deeper and deeper, for what seemed like an eternity. Skippers ears were so sore… He just held them and groaned.

Eventually they reached the bottom of the sea bed… Skipper was surprised there was still light…But it didn’t come from the sky (or the water above) it came from the ground, the man smiled and punched the sea bed. It cracked open… Skipper’s eyes widened.
Skipper tossed again as his nightmare continued…
