That night Private laid awake in his kama listening to the sorrowful howls of the lone wolf. Private was going to tell Skipper about the paghahanap for a cure.

Skipper woke up in the morning with a queasy sense in his stomach. Everything looked hazy as it did the araw before. He had mixed emoctions of the way he treated his men the other day. He might never see them again. Skipper trudged to the pond. When he got there he was startled sa pamamagitan ng his own reflection. From head to toe he was covered in mud and scratches, probably from the fercious quarrel. There was nothing he remembered after his mga kaibigan left. Scooping up water in his flippers, Skipper didn't notice two alert eyes watching him. A ibong dagat with ratty feathers stepped out of the brush. He was short and thin. There seemed to be a glow around him, which Skipper also had. This was because they were werewolves. A vaguely recongizable voice called out to Skipper.
?: "Hey, we need to talk!"
Skipper turned around, and was bewildered.
S: "Who are you? What do you want from me?"
?: "Come on, my story is legend. You have to know me. Besides we've fought each other twice."
S: "Stay away from me. I don't want any trouble."
?: "Neither do I,"
S: "Then, what? Wait, did you say your story was legend?"
?: "You know it. I recall you told it to your mga kaibigan the night you died."
Skipper seized the ibong dagat up sa pamamagitan ng his chest.
S: "It's all your fault I'm like this!"
?: "Please, don't make the same mistake I did!"
S: "What are you talking about?"
?: "My name's Micha, I was the youngest friend in the story! I took revenge on my friend after he ... "
Skipper dropped the pleadful penguin.
S: "You're not my friend! You're the reason I can't see my actual friends."
M: "Maybe I'm not, but we're a pack now. We have to stick together. I'm all you have now. You can't fight the lobo inside you. If you see your mga kaibigan again there's no doubt you'll kill them."
S: "I know,"
M: "There is a way you can see them again, you know."
S: "What do you mean?"
M: "You just have to eat all of them. It works out for all of you. You get a meal and they can see you again."
S: "I'll never do that to them. I couldn't put them in that much pain. Besides they'd hate me, and couldn't blame them."
M: "You don't remember anything about last night, don't you."
S: "I remember our little battle. And my mga kaibigan leaving."
M: "Remember the rabbit."
Skipper then remembered everything. Him chasing the rabbit, and his sensational bloodthirst.
M: "I'm not trying to be the bad guy."
S: "Then what are you doing?"
M: "Look the only reason I ate you was I needed food. Also when you became a werewolf you could help me catch pagkain as a two ibong dagat pack. You're not the only lonesome one. Like I sinabi we need each other. After all, you tried to eat your friend when you first saw him."
Skipper didn't know what to do.
P: "Skipper! Skipper, are you here!"
When Skipper met Private, Private told him Kowalski's plan. Micha watched and listened from behind a bush.
M: "A cure? Perhaps I could use this to my advantage
S: "Wait, doesn't he have to give that to me when I'm in my lobo form."
P: "Yes, no big deal."
S: "Actually, it is a big deal. What if I hurt you or Kowalski or Rico. I told you I can't control myself. Lastnight I almost ... nevermind."
P: "What?"
S: "I almsot caught a rabbit."
Private gasped.
P: "But you wouldn't hurt your friends. I trust you."
S: "But I don't."
P: "Skipper, the night you died I didn't know what to do next. I need you. We all need you. And now you're back! But you're still gone in a way. Stay, don't leave us! Promise me you'll take the medicine if we find discover it."
S: "I promise,"
Private wrapped his arms around Skipper. Getting picked up, Pirvate fell asleep in Skipper's wary arms. He whispered to Private.
S: "Goodnight, son."
Soon Skipper fell asleep as well.
