About a week later, Skipper came home from a date with Marlene, brows furrowed and eyes narrowed. He went straight to sleep.

Later that night Kowalski worked on Marlene's microwave, changing it back to its original form.

When he was done tinkering with it he tucked it under his arm and waddled over to Marlene's.

But she wasn't in her house. That's when Kowalski realized that she was on the roof. He climbed up next to her and sat down. Marlene looked up. There were tear stains on her face, but she wasn't crying.

"Hi." she said.

"I brought your microwave." he handed it to her.

"Skipper… broke up with me." she sighed.

"Why?"

"I don't know! Can we… talk about something else?" asked Marlene.

"Okay."

Marlene sighed and wrapped her arms around Kowalski's neck, her head resting on his thin shoulder.

"Um, Marlene?"

"Yeah?"

"I have question to ask you. There's this guy, he's an inventor, but he's not a penguin- he's an… otter! Yes, he's not a penguin. Definitely an otter. And there's this girl otter- her name isn't Marlene- and she just broke up with her boyfriend. And she has her arms around his neck and her head on his shoulder and-"

Marlene closed his beak. "I think this will answer it." She pulled his head forward and they shared a kiss.

Hmm… thought Kowalski. Doris watches me more when I'm with Marlene.

Yay! Ending! That's my first fanfic. I don't think I'll make a sequel, but I might start on another story or the story in my head "Kowalski Come Home" but I don't know. But keep tuned for more stories.
