Author's Note: And here's the 다음 chapter. I also want to thank SaturdaySurpris for reviewing. Enjoy!
Private and I walked back to the zoo. “So,” asked Private, “how was it?”
I grinned at him. “Amazingly delicious.”
He beamed. “See, everybody likes snow cones.”
I laughed. “You were right, Private. Race 당신 back to the zoo.”
I took off sliding. He ran a little before launching himself. “Not fair!” yelled Private. “You got a head start!”
We arrived, laughing, at the 펭귄 habitat. “Uh oh,” said Private, sliding to a stop.
I followed his glance to see a very angry looking Skipper. “I agree,” I whispered back.
“Where have 당신 been? 당신 missed training!”
As I opened my beak to defend myself, Private lowered his eyes. “Sorry, Skipper.”
I realized that the words were directed at the young penguin. Without thinking, I defended Private. “It wasn’t his fault,” I said.
Skipper turned to me. “Yes it was,” he answered.
“I asked him to go,” I replied evenly.
Skipper glanced at Private. “Is it true?”
The boy looked at me, fear in his eyes. I nodded once. “Yes, sir,” he mumbled.
Skipper glanced between us and sighed. “Ten laps around the zoo,” he finally said.
With that, he jumped back into the HQ. Private looked at me. “Why did 당신 do that?”
“Do what?”
“Defend me? It was my fault. I asked 당신 if 당신 wanted to get snow cones with me. I should have looked at the time,” he said.
The 펭귄 was nearly in tears. I waddled over to him and patted his back. “Instinct, Private. 당신 reminded me of someone.”
He looked up at me. “Thanks.”
I smiled back. “Come on. I’ll do the laps with you.”
Ten laps later…
“That was refreshing,” I noted.
“Nothing like a swim after a long run,” agreed Private.
He glanced at me. “Nathan? Can I ask 당신 a question?”
“You already did,” I said, smiling.
“I mean another one.”
“Sure, Private. What do 당신 want to know?”
“You said I reminded 당신 of somebody. Who?”
I looked toward the horizon. “You’re a lot like my brother, Private. A lot like him.”
Without waiting for an answer, I climbed down to the HQ.

Okay. I was recently chatting with someone on this spot (I will not release his name) and he had told me something that I cannot ignore. He told me that some of 당신 guys feel discriminated against, and that 당신 believe we fangirls want 당신 permenantly removed from this spot. I just wanted to publicly state, that this is NOT true!! Just because we make a few harmless jokes here and there, that dosn't mean we want to get rid of you. I personally believe that not all guys are sexist pigs. Now, I hope we can put this little incident behind us. Thank 당신 all for your time.
