As the jour rolled on, the penguins decided to put a few films on. As they put the first movie in, Emma couldn't help smile at the mesmerised looks of their guests as they stared up at the Tv in wonder. She cuddled up to Kowalski and he wrapped his flippers around her gently. Emma relaxed in his flippers and gazed up at him lovingly. He smiled warmly at her, and stroked her hair softly. A happy shiver went down Emma's spine and a fuzzy warmth spread through her whole body. She blushed and started to focus on the film. Rico had put on The Avengers, which was Emma's favourite film, so she smiled when the familiar opening came on screen. She glanced around the group, and her eyes widened in surprise, when she couldn't see Ashley ou Ava. She turned around, and a little smile tugged at her face. She tapped Kowalski on the shoulder and nodded towards the two animals, who were working on the Sudoku together, and smiling shyly.
"Aw, that's sweet." Kowalski remarked in a whisper. Emma nodded in response and turned back to the Tv. The Equa's sat in astonishment, their eyes not leaving the screen for even a second. As the film went on, Dustin began to fidget.
"Hey what's up?" Tom asked quietly.
"I need to go pee but I don't want to miss the film." He replied, sounding worried. Tom sighed and pressed the pause button, making the other Equa's jump.
"It.. it just stopped...." Sky stammered, staring up at it.
"Yes, we can stop it and it will start from this point again when we press the play button." Skipper explained. Their Friends eyes widened in surprise.
"That's genius." Maya remarked. Rico nodded and Dustin got up from his siège and ran to the toilet. A few minutes late, he came back, and Tom played the film again. As it neared the end, Emma glanced up at the clock, which now read 5pm.
Hmm, what else are we doing today? She wondered. About 20 minute later the film finished and Skipper stood up.
"Can we watch another?" Michael asked a little hopefully.
"Um, sure ok." Skipper agreed. Emma and Kowalski exchanged a bored look, and Emma spoke up.
"Hey Skips can me and Kowalski go in the lab for a bit?" She questioned.
"Fine, just don't blow anything up." Skipper replied. Emma made an excited squeal and she rushed into the lab, closely followed par Kowalski. They shut the door, and Emma breathed a sigh of relief as she locked it.
"I get the idea that our Friends are gonna want to watch lots of films today, and I don't think I could sit through another." Emma remarked.
"Same here." Kowalski agreed, glancing back at the silver lab door.
"And they're great people but I do just like some time just toi and me." Emma added shyly. Kowalski smiled at her, and hugged the smaller manchot, pingouin lovingly. She hugged back, and rested her head on his chest feathers.
"So did toi actually want to invent anything ou did toi want to get away?" Kowalski asked, grinning a little.
"Hmm, I don't know." Emma admitted, letting out a small giggle. "What else would we invent?" She wondered.
"Hmmm...." Kowalski trailed off, staring around the lab. "What about a hover chair?" He suggested, beginning to chuckle.
"Hehe that sounds like fun." Emma commented, beaming at the taller penguin. "I'd actually like to try that."
"Ok, we'll do that then." Kowalski decided, taking Emma's flipper and waddling over to the workbench. The two penguins sat down beside it, and fell silent as they went into deep thought.
"Hmm, we'll need altitude sensing technology so it stays off the ground." Emma thought aloud.
"Yes and various other parts such as a control panel, a battery operated engine, and a lot of wires." Kowalski added.
"Yup, so where should we start?" Emma asked.
"Hmmmm.." Kowalski began.
"Should we just leave it for today?" Emma suggested.
"Hmm, yes, for some reason I'm not really in an inventing mood." Kowalski realised, feeling pretty surprised with himself.
"So what should we do instead?" Emma wondered, catching Kowalski's eye and smiling. Kowalski just smiled back, and stood up, holding both of Emma's flippers as he did. Emma blushed a little, and stood up. Kowalski stroked her face gently. Emma stepped closer, and nuzzled Kowalski's neck with her beak. It was Kowalski's turn to blush this time, and he wrapped his flippers around Emma's waist. Emma closed the gap between them, and kissed him. Kowalski's brain turned to mush, and he kissed back, all thought of their guests draining out of his head.
Meanwhile...
Carter ran up to his Queen and bowed nervously.
"What is it Carter?" Tiatra asked, looking irritated.
"W.. we should be arriving at Earth ahead of schedule, the l.. latest we will get there is tomorrow morning." Carter stammered. Tiatra began to smile, and she looked out into space.
"Have toi got the info on our enemies friends?" She inquired sharply. Carter nodded and passed her a file. "You can leave now." She told him. Carter ran out, and Tiatra began looking over the file. She smiled evilly, and put the file down. "My plan is definatley going to work!" She announced triumphantly.
On Earth
The jour was drawing to a close, and the animaux were about to head to bed. Emma and Kowalski had came out of the lab a few minutes before, earning cheeky looks from Tom and Rico. Emma cast them a dark look, and got ready to hop into bed. Her eyes fell on Ava and Ashley who were still talking near the periscope.
"Ashley, Ava!" Skipper called. "It's lit time now." He told them. Ashley hid his disappointment and smiled at the young Equa.
"Urm, well goodnight Ava." He managed, blushing a little.
"Goodnight Ashley." She replied brightly, trying to hide her shyness. They both headed to their beds and caught each other's eyes one last time before Ava went into the spare room. Ashley climbed into his bed, and soon after the lights went out. He stared at the ceiling, and let out a little sigh. He had never even had a crush once in his life yet. (Due to the lack of females in the Edinburgh Zoo) but he was starting to think this might be his first. He became really shy around her, he blushed, and his cœur, coeur would beat faster, making him feel all giddy inside. He had only met her today, but Kowalski had told him once before that he fell for Emma when he first met her, so something might happen between the two of them. He smiled and closed his eyes, and thought about the day, before falling asleep.
"Aw, that's sweet." Kowalski remarked in a whisper. Emma nodded in response and turned back to the Tv. The Equa's sat in astonishment, their eyes not leaving the screen for even a second. As the film went on, Dustin began to fidget.
