1.) February 1, 2010: “A Ninja’s Worst Enemy”
“Hey, guys!” Marlene greeted as she entered the penguins’ habitat to find the team yet again practicing defense drills with bowling pins disguised as ninjas. “Still playing with the bowling pins, eh?”
“Marlene, how many times do I have to tell آپ that these bowling pins represent evil ninja warriors?” Skipper wondered, but in a friendly way, as he then turned to his men. “Show no mercy, boys.”
Upon hearing Skipper’s order, Private punched down two of the pins while Rico toppled four with a karate chop. Next, Kowalski gave a kick to take down the remaining four.
“Three penguins to knock down 10 bowling pins,” Marlene chuckled. “That’s interesting.”
“Oh, really?” Skipper کہا sarcastically. “If آپ think آپ can do better, be my guest.”
“OK,” Marlene replied. “Set them up.”
Skipper waddled over to the pile of bowling pins and set them up, then returned to Marlene.
“All right, Marlene, دکھائیں me what آپ got,” he said.
Marlene then pulled out a bowling ball and stuck her fingers in the finger holes. She then lined the ball up and released it toward the pins.
“Strike!” Rico exclaimed from across the platform.
“And that’s how it’s done, Skipper,” Marlene stated.

2.) February 2, 2010: “Otter Day”
“OK, gentlemen, let’s be very, very quiet,” Skipper کہا to the other penguins, the lemurs, and the chimps as they all gathered outside of Marlene’s cave before sunrise. “We don’t want to wake up Marlene before her big moment.”
Skipper then carefully led the group into Marlene’s home; upon entering it, everyone gathered around Marlene’s بستر and began staring at the sleeping وٹر, اوٹار with great anticipation.
“Eh, how long do we have to wait?” Julien asked.
“Until Marlene wakes up,” Kowalski replied. “Then we’ll see if she sees her shadow یا not so we can predict if we’ll be having six مزید weeks of winter یا an early spring.”
Marlene then rolled in her bed.
“This is it,” Skipper said.
Marlene opened her eyes.
“Aaahh!” she screamed as she awoke, not expecting the crowd in her home. “What are آپ all doing here, and what’s with the سب, سب سے اوپر hats?”
“It’s Groundhog Day,” Private replied. “We’ve come to learn your prediction.”
“Guys, I’m an otter,” Marlene stated. “I don’t make predictions.”
“Look right اگلے to you, Marlene,” Skipper said. “Do آپ see your shadow?”
“Yeah, but–” Marlene began.
“Prediction made, boys,” Skipper declared. “Six مزید weeks of winter it shall be.”

3.) February 3, 2010: “State of the Zoo”
Each سال سے طرف کی tradition, one week after the presidential State of the Union address, Skipper would give his annual State of the Zoo message at the zoovenir shop. This سال was no different.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the پینگوئن, پیںگان Leader of the Central Park Zoo,” Private announced from the shop’s doorway as Skipper entered the applause-filled room.
Skipper then waddled down to the front of the room, where a podium had been set-up for his address. Behind him sat Kowalski, his Lieutenant Leader, and Marlene, his Secretary of State. He shook both of their appendages before addressing the crowd.
“Ladies and gentlemen, mammals and lower mammals, thank آپ for joining me tonight,” he said. “I’ve led my men on many exciting missions over the past year. Among them include watching a duck’s egg, getting rid of an obnoxious walrus spy, and restoring the پاپ کارن, پوپکارن flow to zoo residents.”
Everyone politely clapped at Skipper’s statement, but Marlene was especially enthused سے طرف کی the پاپ کارن, پوپکارن one.
“Yes, popcorn!” she stood up and shouted. “Three cheers for the پینگوئن, پیںگان Leader! Hip-hip, hooray! Hip-hip, hooray! Hip–”
But she stopped when the crowd fell silent and began to stare.
“Ah, carry on, Skipper,” she said, sitting down.

4.) February 4, 2010: “Insubordination?”
After a morning of rigorous training, Skipper led his men back into the HQ.
“Boys, I think we’ve earned a short break,” he کہا as took a نشست in a chair. “If anyone needs me, I’ll be sitting over here.”
A few منٹ later, Private waddled over.
“Can I help آپ with something, Private?” Skipper asked.
“Just hold on, sir,” Private said. “This should only take me a second.”
“What should only take–” Skipper began to ask, but he was suddenly slapped in the face سے طرف کی Private.
“Private, what do آپ think you’re doing?!” Skipper yelled. “That’s insubordination, mister!”
“But, sir, I just–” Private began, but Skipper didn’t want to hear it.
“No excuses, soldier!” Skipper barked. “I’m your commanding officer, and I thought we were friends!”
“But, Skipper, listen,” Private persisted. “Please?”
“Fine, Private, what is it?” Skipper conceded.
“There was this bug on your face, sir,” Private کہا as he showed Skipper the bug’s splattered remnants on his flipper. “I was only trying to help.”
“Well, that does explain things,” Skipper replied.
“So you’re not mad?” Private asked.
“No,” Skipper chuckled. “But that was a pretty good slap.”
Private smiled.
“I learned from the best, sir,” he said.

5.) February 5, 2010: “Odd Man Out”
“Ooh, what are آپ guys watching on the telly?” Private asked the other three penguins upon returning to the HQ from a short mission that Skipper had sent him on.
“It’s a DVD of the movie ‘March of the–’” Kowalski began before Skipper interrupted.
“Kowalski!” he exclaimed. “Didn’t we already decide not to tell Private?”
“Oh, right,” Kowalski remembered.
“Yup,” Rico said.
Private then waddled over to Skipper, who looked up at him before pausing the movie.
“Sir, why can’t I know?” Private inquired.
“It’s nothing personal, soldier,” Skipper replied. “It’s just that آپ may be a bit too young to watch this movie.”
Private sighed.
“Fine, sir,” he said. “I guess I’ll go back out for a while so آپ all can finish the film.”
Private then waddled over to the ladder and climbed it up to the platform outside.
A short time later, Maurice came by.
“You seen King Julien around?” he asked.
“No,” Private replied. “Sorry, Maurice.”
“OK,” Maurice said. “Say, what are آپ doin’ up there all سے طرف کی yourself anyway?”
“The guys won’t let me watch ‘March of the Penguins,’” Private replied as he chuckled. “Of course, they don’t know that I’ve already seen it twice.”

6.) February 6, 2010: “World’s Greatest Mammal”
Julien and Mort entered Marlene’s habitat one morning to find the وٹر, اوٹار drinking from a coffee mug which had “World’s Greatest Mammal” printed on it in big red letters.
“Where did آپ get that?” Julien gasped as he snatched the mug from Marlene’s paws, causing the coffee to slosh onto the floor. “It obviously belongs to the king, which is me.”
“No, it’s mine,” Marlene کہا as she yanked it back. “It was a gift.”
“But I am certainly the world’s greatest mammal,” Julien declared as he tugged the mug away again.
“Julien, be careful,” Marlene کہا worriedly as she grasped the cup. “Skipper gave me that mug – it’s very special to me.”
“But I’m king, so gimmie!” Julien insisted as he continued pulling on it, causing it to fall out of both of their hands.
Just as Marlene was about to watch her پسندیدہ mug shatter against the floor, Mort caught it.
“Yay!” he cheered.
“Good Mort,” Julien said. “Now hand that mug back to me.”
But Mort just couldn’t do the wrong thing.
“No, it belongs to Marlene,” he کہا as he handed it to her, then turned to Julien. “But I’ll get آپ one for your birthday.”

7.) February 7, 2010: “Cannibal Run”
“So آپ boys really thought that I, your friend and commanding officer, was trying to eat your brains?” Skipper asked his men as they all lay on a بستر in the veterinary office after having all fallen from a rooftop, breaking their flippers.
“Well,” Kowalski began, “with those bandages wrapped around your body, combined with your incoherent state, we just naturally assumed آپ were a zombie determined to dine on the contents of our craniums.”
“Really?” was all Skipper could reply.
“Skipper,” Private then said, “would آپ ever eat any of us if we were stranded somewhere and had no food to survive?”
“Private!” Kowalski scolded. “I knew I never should have let آپ read that Donner Party chapter in my encyclopedia.”
“That’s OK, Kowalski, he can ask,” Skipper stated. “The answer is no, Private, I could never resort to cannibalizing my own men.”
“But what if آپ were the only survivor and your life depended on it?” Private continued.
Skipper shuddered at the thought.
“Listen, Private, we’re all a team; if I lost any one of you, I wouldn’t last too long anyway,” Skipper spoke sincerely. “It’s just not in my دل to have آپ guys in my stomach.”

8.) February 8, 2010: “You Owe Me”
Two weeks after she had been railroaded into participating in Kowalski’s Luv-u-Lator experiment, Marlene walked into the penguins’ HQ.
“Kowalski, it’s time,” she announced upon entering. “You do owe me for testing your love-finding machine, and today’s the day.”
All four penguins then approached Marlene.
“A deal is a deal, Marlene,” Kowalski said. “What did آپ have in mind?”
Marlene smirked.
“Oh, just a little taste of your own medicine,” she کہا as she turned to Rico. “Rico: Spit fishin’ time.”
Rico looked to Skipper, unsure if he should accept an order from anyone else.
“You heard the lady,” Skipper replied, thus granting Rico permission.
As Rico then hacked-up a cotton swab, Kowalski took a step back.
“You can’t do this to me!” Kowalski declared. “I’m a scientist!”
But Rico had his orders.
“Say aah,” he کہا as he swabbed inside Kowalski’s bill.
After obtaining the DNA sample, Rico placed the swab inside the Luv-u-Lator, which Kowalski had ultimately decided to recover from the trash can he had thrown it in. Little did Kowalski know that Marlene had conspired with Skipper the دن before to rig the results as a practical joke.
“Subject not compatible,” the machine beeped and read.

9.) February 9, 2010: “Mirror Madness”
“I love you,” Julien کہا aloud as he pointed toward himself while looking at his reflection in the new mirror that he had hung on the wall.
Julien then pointed at his reflection.
“I love آپ more!” he کہا before pointing back at himself. “No, I love آپ more!”
He then pointed back at his reflection.
“No, I love آپ more!” he کہا before repeating this pattern over and over, louder and louder each time. “No, I love آپ more! No, I love آپ more!”
It became so loud that the penguins heard it from atop their habitat’s platform, and after 25 منٹ of listening to it, they had all had enough.
“I can’t it take anymore!” Skipper declared as he looked at his team. “Let’s roll.”
Moments later, the penguins entered the بندر habitat and approached the self-absorbed king.
“I love آپ more!” Julien continued with his mirror routine before pointing at Skipper. “Eh, but I don’t love آپ more.”
Skipper then began to سوئنگ, جھول a hammer toward the mirror before Julien stopped him.
“What in the name of me are آپ doing?!” he questioned. “Do آپ want seven years of bad luck?”
“It’ll be worth it,” Skipper declared.

10.) February 10, 2010: “Clouds”
Skipper waddled past Marlene’s habitat one morning, noticing Marlene lying on her back and staring into the sky.
“What are آپ doing, Marlene?” Skipper inquired.
“Spotting بادل shapes,” she replied. “Haven’t آپ ever done that before?”
“Can’t say I have,” Skipper answered.
“Then come try it,” Marlene said. “Come on, Skipper, live a little.”
Skipper was a bit skeptical if this was appropriate behavior for a military leader, but he decided to try it anyway. He entered Marlene’s habitat and lay down beside her.
“OK, Skipper, I think that one looks like a carousel horse,” Marlene said, pointing at a cloud.
“Nah,” Skipper replied. “Looks مزید like a crossbow to me.”
“Crossbow?” Marlene whispered sarcastically. “How lovely.”
She then pointed at another cloud.
“How about this one?” she said. “I see an elephant.”
“I see a tank,” Skipper replied. “Hey, I’m starting to like this.”
Marlene realized that she and Skipper had different ways of seeing things, but she was still glad that he had joined her. But suddenly Marlene saw a بادل shape she just couldn’t deny.
“Look, Skipper,” she pointed, “a nuclear مشروم, کھنبی cloud.”
“Nope,” Skipper replied. “I see a heart.”
Maybe they weren’t so different after all.

The penguins were doing their daily cleaning around their HQ. "Hello silly penguins!" king Julien کہا as he walked into their HQ. "Ringtail? What is with the jogging outfit?" "There is a race soon!" "Ok then...Have fun with that." "But آپ don't understand! There are prizes!" " Ooo! CANDY!" Shouted Private. "Fine! We'll take آپ on in a race ringtail. And I can tell آپ that were going to win!" "Hey guys! Did آپ say something about a race?" Asked Marlene.
