I know the whole 'Zoo gets new Penguins' concept has been done many times before but hopefully I'll be able to put a new twist on it.

Note to my readers: I will not be continuing 'Relative Unknown'. I got busy and completely lost interest in the concept. I'm sorry. However, I will try to finish 'It's a Platypus Life'.

Lastly, I do not own 'The Penguins of Madagascar', etc,etc, etc!

It was evening after the Zoo closed, the Penguins were in their H.Q. relaxing after a hard training session. Marlene unexpectedly jumped throw the man hole. "Hey guys!" She exclaimed excitedly.

"Evening Marlene, what brings you here?" Private asked in his British accent, looking away from the television.

She moved in closer to the four Penguins before replying. "Oh, nothing, just thought I'd see how things are going. Anything new happening?" Her voice was laced with eagerness.

"Kowalski's working on some kind of youth formula…" Skipper stated off-handed.

Said Penguin held up his notebook, "I'm close to a break though, I just know it!" He turned his attention back to his notes.

"Yeah, okay, anything else?" Her voice still held eagerness.

The lead Penguin eyed Marlene, suspicious. "No, why?"

Placing paws on hips, the Otter scowled. "Oh come on, you aren't going to tell me the big news? What kind of friend are you Skipper?!"

"Marlene, I don't know what you're talking about. Did you hit your head?" He placed his flippers around her skull, feeling for a lump.

She swatted him away and took a step back. "You honestly don't know? Word is the Zoo is getting another Penguin… From the wild!" It was surprising they didn't know about this already, the whole Zoo seemed to know.

"Hoover Dam! Why wasn't I informed about this!?" Skipper demanded, turning his attention to Kowalski. Quickly flipping through his notes the intellectual could only give a shrug in confusion. Skipper sighed and turned back to Marlene. "Well, since you seem to know so much, mind filling us in?

The Otter's face brightened, it wasn't often Skipper asked her for information, let alone listened to what she had to say. "Well I heard the Zoo is getting a Kangaroo, a Rhino and a Penguin, all from the wild. And they're supposed to be here later today!" She announced, throwing her arms into the air excitedly.

Skipper came up to Marlene and quickly scooted her toward to ladder out, "Hey! What's the deal?!" the Otter called out defensively.

"Well thanks for Stopping by Marlene, but the boys and I have lots of work to do." He continued to push her away.

With a small glare she complied and left. After she was gone Skipper again turned to the tallest Penguin. "Kowalski, options!" After receiving a confused stare he elaborated. "Options, why would they bring another Penguin to the Zoo!"

Kowalski nodded before writing in his notebook. It was at this moment Rico realized something was happening. He put his doll down and took the headphones off his head. Leaving his place at the corner of H.Q. he tapped Private on the shoulder, grabbing his attention. Rico shrugged, gesturing he didn't understand the situation. Private smiled, "We're getting another Penguin, from the wild, today!" He seemed excited, but Rico noticed the others didn't.

Kowalski finally spoke up, explaining his theories. "I've come up with a few possibilities Skipper. Theory 1: There are several species of Penguin. Perhaps the Zoo wants to exhibit Penguins from other parts of the World?" He paused, allowing Skipper to think it over. The other waved his flipper, signaling him to continue. "Theory 2: This new Penguin was captured and trained to spy on us, then report back to Alice."

Skipper slammed one flipper into the other. "That's it, it's so obvious. She's onto us men, and now she's trying to infiltrate our H.Q. with her litter spy!"

Hesitating a moment Private spoke up. "Skippa, dun you think you're jumping to conclusions? Maybe the new animals are just to bring more visitors?"

"Poor, naïve Private. That kind of innocent thinking will get you into big trouble!" Skipper replied and Rico nodded his head in agreement.

At that moment they heard Alice complaining from above. "Alright men, let's play it cool. Don't let Alice or this spy know we're onto their little game." Skipper ordered before making the gesture to move out.

Alice had just set the new Penguin down on the makeshift iceberg when the four Penguins came up. They watched the Zoo Keeper leave before turning their attention to the new comer. What they saw made Rico gasp.

Sorry it's so short, I wanted to leave with a cliff hanger. *dangles on the edge*
