I remember that still moment when near father and son gazed into each other's eyes. Leeland's gray eyes were filled with so many emotions I could hardly understand; yet I had quite a few feelings milling around inside of me as well. Leeland seemed as though he could almost say, 'What the heck..' Then he really DID say it. His voice trailed off and his beak said something inaudible. I looked down at my blood-stained feathers. Then it hit me. This looked perfectly clear that I'd killed the general. I knew full well that I hadn't, but Leeland and his armed companions didn't know so. I didn't have words to explain. I just sat there in a pool of blood with an expression similar to what it'd be if a guy was caught stealing candy in his underwear late at night. Leeland found words sooner than I did, "What have..you done?" he asked, his eyes wide. I shrugged. Was that all I could do in my defense? That was pitiful! "I uh..this isn't..I just..after all?" I stuttered. Leeland sighed, shaking his head in distress, "Oh Fahlcon..those hours in the battle station..they DID do something to your head boy.." he muttered. What did he mean? Did he think I'd lost my marbles? I'd matured. I'd gotton hard-hearted a scoche, but I'd never dream of killing a guy in broad daylight! Leeland rested his head on his flipper. A penguin beside him holding what I recognised as a 57 Magnum in his flippers turned to him and asked, "What are your orders sir?" Leeland hesitated to reply. I debated begging for mercy, but something held me back. Who knows what. Leeland lifted his head and nodded slowly, "Bind him up." he motioned, "Take him back to the camp when your done." The two soldiers nodded. The next thing I knew my flipper's were bound behind my back and with a slight shove to start me off on my way the three of us followed Leeland towards the base. I for one was actually glad that there were two guys supporting me on either side. I think I would have collapsed otherwise. I felt like barfing, fainting, and going from here to heaven all at once. I walked in a daze, my eyes fixed on my feet taking each slow, shaky stride. Where they were leading me, could seal my fate entirely; and I knew it.
Kam did a mad karate-chop into a nearby tree. The boys fell out! " You didn't SEE ANYTHING!" Skipper said in despiration. Then the boys run away. "Let's go girls! We don't need Lilly anymore!" Just as Lilly opens her beak to protest, The plane takes off and her friends leave.

THAT NIGHT!
Marlene is trying her best to cheer Lilly up. Nothing would work! " Come on Lilly, you haven't said a word all day! How about we gossip about boys!" Marlene asks with a friendly tone of voice. "No. Im just gonna go back to my habitat and sleep." Lilly replied. She leaves Marlene's habitat. Lilly had lost her four closest friends within a five day time period . She deserves to sleep this off.
THE END!

yeah... for Creative Writing, I had to write a love poem. I don't like anybody in that way (right now, at least) so I ended up writing mine about Kowalski. It's a free-verse poem, so it doesn't rhyme, but... yeah.
When I hear your soft, smooth voice
I don't understand a word you say
too many variables and equations
but I love it anyway
Your clear blue eyes
masked behind protective goggles
as you experiment
with dangerous chemicals
In your world, the only thing
I can make sense of
is the fact that maybe
you are more careful when I'm around
don't want to hurt me
or make a fool of yourself
by making something explode
...
it doesn't work that well
but that's okay with me
<3
