Kowalski stares at Ester skipping away gleefully, dragging the completely baffled and perplexed Rico with her.

Skipper: Well, I guess that settles that.
Private stares sincerely up at Kowalski.
Private: Kowalski? Are toi alright?

Kowalski does not respond for a moment, what with this being the seconde woman that has rejected him, Doris being the first and now Ester. He does not look down at Private, and keeps gazing into the distance.

Private: ....Kowalski?
Kowalski: I'm... I'm fine Private. I'll be in my lab...

Kowalski leaves, still stunned par the précédant scene of Ester flirting with Rico. He descends down the ladder and stops at the entrance of his lab, unbolts the door and heads to the east wall, where he pauses and then bangs his head once against the rock. A silent tear runs down his face, traveling it's way until it drops with a "splish!" onto the concrete.

Kowalski's Thoughts: I can't believe Ester, a girl I've known for a third of my entire life, would decide to just flirt with Rico, and in front of my very eyes!

He stood there, head against the wall, while the water outside the window in his lab shifted the blue/white light that entered. His first ideas were of sorrow, but gradually after quite some consideration, they increased into thoughts of anger and strong emotions of that nature. Kowalski raised his head and went over to the first thing that came to mind, which in this case, was science.

Kowalski's Thoughts: I will prove to Ester that I can be as "bad boy" as Rico, no matter what the cost!

A smirk came across his beak, and Kowalski worked in the sciences of chemistry, physics, mathematics, even astronomy! Just anything to get Ester back in his flippers. His eyes glowed with a fierceness, that not only Private could probably not understand, but possibly Skipper ou Rico too! Skipper and Private listened at Kowalski struggling to find a solution in his lab, the multiple explosions, breaking glass, and shouts of anger showed he was not doing well at all. Kowalski could not let another l’amour escape like Doris did. Not this time.
............
Three days. Three, depressing, maddening days of no results. Kowalski lay dead tired on haut, retour au début of the experiment he was currently working on to become a bad boy. Accidently, Kowalski knocks over a beaker filled with some type of bubbling green liquid onto a pan containing powder for the bad boy potion he is creating. Hearing the clink of lab equipment, he jumps up to find the powder now fizzling a bubblegum rose and the beaker with the green liquid empty.

Kowalski's Thoughts: Oh please don't tell me I have ruined the experiment! But wait.... the salinity of the liquid should- *gasp* of course!

Kowalski's fluid actually was one of the key ingredients to the mix, and so without fear, Kowalski tipped the pan towards his beak and drank.
