The Red Squirrel's Revenge

Chapter 1

It was a beautiful day over the Central Park Zoo it was also a quiet Sunday afternoon. With the sun shining and weather was so warm, it just made you want to kick back and relax which most of the zoo residents were doing, well apart from the penguins of course, who were currently doing some laps round the pool of their habitat.

They were so engrossed into what they were doing to notice a certain red squirrel seeking around the zoo, the squirrel grinned evily when he snuck passed the habitat, "loosey penguins, they shall pay," he muttered.

As he crawled on all fours as he carried on passed the lumars habitat but he suddenly bumped into the smallest lemur. Mort started laughing when the squirrels tail tickled his face, "your tail is so funny and fuzzy," the squirrels one good eye widened when he saw the flat headed penguin turn slightly in his direction he growled.

"Beat it, you little pip squeak," the squirrel kicked Mort and he flew right over into the lemur habitat and landed right next to Julien's feet.

"Oh, heellllooo feet I'm back!" He'd landed on his head.

Julien was less than happy, "Mort, how many times have I to be telling you...No Oggling de royal feet!" Julien frowned while kicked Mort again but he only fell onto the bouncy castle.

The squirrel continued on looking for a placed to hide, "hmm, must find suitable place to spy on penguins, but where?" Suddenly he found it, it was perfect and strait across from the penguins habitat, what luck. The squirrel chuckled and headed over to what he thought was an empty habitat. He scurried up the tree not far from the small pound and poked his eye through the leaves.

"Perfect, I can see everything from up here, specially everything those penguins are doing, let's just hope they reveal some secrets that I can use against them," he laughed and rubbed his paws together.

"Now we just wait," he'd been watching the penguns for what seemed like hours now and they were still doing laps, he could hear Private maoning about how tired he was.

"Skippah, can't we just rest a little bit?"

Skipper was shaking his head and had his flippers on his hips, "now, come on Private, we need to be in tip top shape, don't wanna end up like manfreedie and Johnson now do we?"

Private sighed, "no, sir."

Skipper saw how tired Kowalsk and Rico were, so he changed his mind, "but I think that's enough for today, you boys did do well on our last mission so I think you've earned it, take five men!" He waved his flipper and smiled when the three penguins collasped before him. They sighed with relief.

The squirrel continued to spy on them, "hm, perhaps I could tire them out, then trap them, so they won't be able to escape cause they'll be too tired, hahahaa, it's soo evil!"He grinned to himself. The sound of humming soon caught his attention and he saw a certain otter setting up a small deck chair and was soon sunbathing on it.

"Hmm, what is with all that humming?"

The red Squirrel's eye widened he sunddely started to feel light headed, he laughed softly, "well, perhaps I've found something better to spy on...She's so pretty." The red squirrel sighed and watched the unsuspecting otter unitl a pegion flew into the tree and startled him, making him fall out of the tree.

"Whoopes sorry, ma bad!" Said the pegion who'd flowen off.

"Wahh, ohh, pegions," he growled, but Marlene had spotted him.

"Are you okay?" Asked Marlene.

He gasped as he gazed into her hazel brown eyes and jumped quickly to his feet, "heh, why yes, I'm fine thanking you for asking, um may I know your name?"

Marlene blinked, "Uh, it's Marlene."

"Ah, such a beautiful name, it's suits you well," he grinned and kissed her paw.

Marlene blushed slightly and took it away from, "what's yours, if you don't mind me asking?"

The red Squirrel seemed to think this over, "eh, why don't you just call me Red."

Marlene rasied her eye "Red?"

"Yes, Red I guess it's just because I'm a red squirrel that I was called." He shrugged.

Marlene nooded, "you certainly suit your name too."

"Oh, hey Marlene!" A vocie that the red squirrel didn't want to hear had appeared out of nowhere, he growled and vanished the second Marlene turned her head to the source. He left a couple of leaves behind.

"Oh hey Skipper, your just in time I want you to...Hey where'd he go?...He was here just a second ago." Marlene said while she turned to the spot the squirrel once was. She rasied her eye in confusion but then shrugged.

Skipper watched her with interest, "what are you talking about, or who are you ralking about?"

Marlene frowned, "well, I wanted to introduce you to a squirrel I just met, but he's not here any more."

"Meh, probably went to look for some nuts, you know how squirrels are with nuts?" Skipper laughed, though unknown to him the red squirrel was hiding behind the tree growling quietly to himself
