“Manfredi, report.”Skipper ordered. The six penguins were investigating the zoo. “Not yet sir.”Manfredi replied. “Kowalski, status report.”Skipper ordered. Kowalski rolled to Alex’s habitat. “No fishy ulat Skipper.”Kowalski said. “Rico, ulat on the zookeepers, pronto.”Skipper said. Rico slid to the office. “Nope.” he said. “Johnson, have you seen the isda truck?”Skipper asked. Johnson climbed up to the Clock Tower. He saw a isda truck. “Near the zoo, sir.”Johnson said. “James, enemy locater.”Skipper said. James climbed up the puno and saw nothing. “No enemy sir.”James sinabi in his Irish accent. Just then, he saw a truck parking in the zoo. “Sir, I think I have seen a truck parking at 2145 hours.”James said.

“Boys, time for operation, new neighbor.”Skipper said. Everyone got back to their habitats and was ready for combat. Alice brought a malaking kahon and laid it on their habitat. Rico regurgitated a crowbar and opened the crate. After 5 seconds, a baya came out. “Awe! It’s so cute.”Kowalski said. Rico came nearer and the baby hopped on Kowalski’s head. Kowalski put the baby down. Skipper smiled but Manfredi, Johnson and James sighed. “Skipper, I thought you did not trust new neighbors.”Manfredi said. Skipper carried the baby. “Not in this case. This baby is completely harmless.”Skipper said. Kowalski picked up a note. “Well look here. His uncle sent this baby from London to New York.”Kowalski sinabi as he read it.

Skipper, Kowalski and Rico went inside while Manfredi, Johnson and James got irritated.
Rico regurgitated a kuna and Skipper laid the baby to sleep. “Good night, Private.”Skipper quietly said. Manfredi, Johnson and James got really jealous at the new baby. sa pamamagitan ng the time it was 10:00 in the evening, everyone hit to their bunks.

2 hours later, a creaking sound was heard. James heard it. “Hey Manfredi, did you hear that?”James asked. Manfredi and Johnson woke up. “Yeah, I heard something. It’s coming from the lab.”Manfredi said. The three sneaked in the lab and saw a mysterious door. Johnson carefully opened it.

“Hello, anyone there?”James said.

Three ghosts saw Manfredi, Johnson and James. “Look!”The youngest of the ghosts exclaimed. They saw the three penguins ready for combat. Just then, a doll walked with a knife. “Time to kill the penguins.” the doll said. Then, the doll killed them all.

The susunod day, Skipper got his cup of Joe and filled with coffee. Kowalski got into his lab to find a shocking display. Three hours later, Manfredi, Johnson and James were buried. Baby Private was only left. But Manfredi, Johnson and James’s souls were kept in the secret hallway. They knew that someday, they would take revenge on Private.

11 years later…

Private went to bed. He clutched his Lunacorn doll. The rest of the team retrieved to their bunks. After two hours, he heard a creaking sound. He tiptoed to Kowalski’s lab carefully trying not to wake up his acquaintances.

He opened the mysterious door and saw tons of gold. He was about to tell Skipper until the apoy was gone. Six ghosts appeared. Private mysteriously bled. The doll held out the knife. “Time to kill the penguin.” the doll said.

“Who are you?”Private terribly asked. He took a step backward. “I’m Utensil and these are my old room mates; Ham and Cheese. The other three are our new friends. They are Manfredi, Johnson and James.” The ghost said.

Private gasped. “You mean all this time, Skipper, Kowalski and Rico were lying to me?”Private asked. “Of course they lied. For the past eleven years, we’ve been taking revenge on you.”James said. “M-m-m-me? Well, why would you take revenge on me?”Private asked.

He took three steps backward. madami blood came out of him. “You will never know.”Johnson said. Private wrote a note. Private was haunted, ambushed and killed. Manfredi brought his body out of the hallway.

Dead. Gone. Haunted. Poor little Private bled and died without a word at 12:10 in the morning.

Skipper, Kowalski and Rico were about to enter until they found a horrible display. Skipper cried with mapait tears. It was the first time he cried to Private. He cannot lose him. Sure, he can live when it comes to the rest. But not the little kid. He cradled the poor boy into his flippers.

Skipper swore himself that he will do anything to protect Private. But he can’t. Not anymore. Kowalski found a note that was written sa pamamagitan ng blood. It said:

Dear Skipper,
Why would you lie to me? Why would you makeup fantasies about your own friends? Anyways, I knew something. Someone else owned this place and they are ghosts now. I just wanted to say…thank you for my life.
                                 Private

Four hours later, Private was buried. They will never forget Private. Not anymore. Although they Nawawala his allies in the past, they will never forget Private. Not anymore. Starting from that araw until the end, they will never forget him. Not like what happened to Manfredi, Johnson and James. He will always remain them in their hearts.
