Skipper bolted into Marlene’s habitat, not even stopping to check if she was in there.
“Marlene I…need…to…talk….to you” He said in-between breaths. He had run all the way from the other side of the zoo faster than he ever had before.
He surveyed the area and saw no signs of Marlene. As his breath finally caught up with him he realized he was alone inside Marlene’s home.
“Marlene?” a confused Skipper asked. He spun around quickly and waddled towards the entrance, “Marlene 당신 there?”
As he was about to exit the cave a brown Asian 수달, 오 터 jumped from above the entrance and landed right in front of him.
“AHHHHH,” they both screamed in unison.
“Oh Marlene, it’s just you, where were 당신 I’ve been calling 당신 name?” Skipper inquired as put on a smile.
“Wait…what are 당신 doing in my habitat, and how’d 당신 get in here?” Marlene questioned back.
“How I got here isn’t important, why I’m here though that’s a different story,” Skipper began, “We need to talk about something.”
Marlene’s eyes shot open, we need to talk about something, she thought, the last time a guy said that to me he…he left me. Skipper isn’t trying to…NO of course he wouldn’t he loves me and I know that, he would never do anything to hurt me…right? Of course he wouldn’t he’s Skipper, he’s always there to protect and keep care of me.
“Marlene? Marlene are 당신 listening to me? This is very important?”
“Huh,” Marlene shook her head to clear her thoughts, “Oh yea I’m listening, now what is 당신 wanted to talk about Skipper?”
“You may want to sit down for this.” Skipper suggested.
Marlene nodded, agreeing to Skipper’s proposition. He reached out and grabbed her paw and led her inside the cave. They both sat down on her rock bed, he paw still in the grasps of his flipper.
“Due to some current events,” He started, “it has been brought to my attention that I will not have enough time to lead the team and give 당신 the 사랑 and attention that 당신 need.”
“Wait, what happened to make 당신 come to this conclusion?”
Skipper let out a deep sigh and dropped his head, “The other 일 when I was over here with you, Kowalski lead Rico and Private on a mission outside the zoo. It seemed harmless enough but then Private noticed a kitten stuck in a 나무, 트리 and while trying to rescue the kitten he fell, injuring himself.”
“Is he ok?”
“He’ll be fine after some rest,” He replied, “I realized that I can’t spend so much time away from my team anymore, I can’t put the rest of them at risk. I’m not sure if this is the best decision for us,” he said as he pointed back and 앞으로 between Marlene and himself, “but this is the best decision for my team.”
“So what does that mean for us?” Marlene asked worriedly, repeating the same motion that Skipper had just done. This can’t be happening; he isn’t about to say what I think he’s going to say is he? Ohhh please don’t let him say that, she begged in her thoughts.
Skipper hesitated for a second, he wanted to make sure he picked and placed his words carefully, this was big moment for him and his team.
“Well that depends Marlene,” he said slyly shooting a smirk Marlene’s way, “how well do 당신 think 당신 could handle the military life?”
“Wait, what?” Marlene said, shocked 의해 what he said.
“Marlene after I realized that I can’t choose between my two loves, I decided why not put my two loves together so I don’t have to choose.”
“I still don’t understand what 당신 mean Skipper.” She replied. Her head hadn’t completely cleared her mind of the thoughts of them not being together anymore.
Skipper just sighed and started over.
“How would you, Marlene the otter, like to be our newest recruit?” He tried to put as much sincerity and compassion into his 질문 as possible.
Marlene just sat, utterly flabbergasted 의해 this turn of events. She had always wondered what it would be like to train with Skipper and the others, she wondered how she would fair in the military life, but she never thought she’d get the opportunity.
“Skipper I…I…” She struggles to respond, not knowing how to vocalize her feelings.
“It’s ok if 당신 don’t want to Marlene I’ll understand,” Skipper says dejectedly. The plan had seemed perfect, but apparently it wasn’t. Skipper stood up and tried to walk towards the exit, but Marlene grabs his flipper and pulls him back.
“Marlene what are 당신 doing?” He asks surprised.
“I didn’t finish my sentence,” She begins as a wide smile forms on her face, “I would be honored to 가입하기 당신 and your team.”
She stares into his ice blue eyes, and he stares back, 로스트 in the sea of hazel.
Marlene stands up, not breaking eye contact, and wraps her arms around Skipper. He returns the favor. She drops her head and rests it on his forehead, leaving room to talk.
“I 사랑 you, 당신 know that?”
“I know Marlene, I know.”
“Marlene I…need…to…talk….to you” He said in-between breaths. He had run all the way from the other side of the zoo faster than he ever had before.
