The Penguin's Monocle

Prologue

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this thread
Relax and sit down, as I get a slice of bread
Get yourself cozy, it's really really stormy
Sit down and stay still as I tell you a story.

It was a dark and a not so stormy night.
A club in the middle of town, the mood was very bright.
Dancing and singing, laughing and swinging
It was a really good party, everyone cheering.

"There's nothing like it, Nico."

"You said it." Nico replied back as both of them finished their dance number. The crowd went wild afterwards.

As they left the make-shift stage, a familiar blue bird, a really close friend
Wished to congratulate them, but he waited 'til the very end.

"Nico! Pedro! Over here!" Blu said in excitement. Soon enough, Rafael, Eva and even Jewel came to follow. The gang was all here.

"Blu, Ralfy, Jewel! What's up? Eva, I'm so glad you could make it."

"Hey, we're all family, are we not? Besides, someone needs to watch Rafael." Eva replied.

"Oh come on, Eva. You should lighten up." Rafael replied.

"Yeah girl. Life's a party." Pedro added.

Rafael put his wing over Eva's shoulder. "How's about we dance our tail feathers off, for old times."

Eva, already under Rafael's flattery, could not resist a dance with his life-long partner. "Whatever you say… my pudgy papaya."

"Great. Now, if you'll excuse us, we have some catching up to do." Rafael said to the rest of the gang. They immediately left, with Rafael leading the way to the dance floor.

"Rafael's quite the charmer." Jewel remarked.

"Girl, that's an understatement." Pedro replied. "He's smooth." He started flapping his wings lifting his overweight body slowly higher.

"I'm sure he is." Blu remarked.

"You know, Blu. You sure could use some tips from him. Sweet talk your way back here in the future." Nico then covered his beak. "You know, just in case Jewel ends up like Eva." He whispered.

"You know, I can hear you talking."

Without warning, Pedro pops his head from above. "Talking? Are you kidding me! Enough chit chat. This next number is gonna bring the house down."

"Pedro's right." The yellow one said. "Let's enjoy. The night is young!" The next song's about to be sung.

"Of course. And I could sure use a break from the kids. They're a serious work-ou-"

"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy…" It took him a while to realize. The words ringing over Blu's head. The kids were jumping over him… like he was a soft bed.

"Kids, stop jumping over your father." Jewel pleaded, but the kids continued.

Soon enough, a familiar face approached them, a regular in the night club. "Hey Blu! Looks like they sure gotz you good."

"Luis?" They all said simultaneously.

"Hope you don't mind I bring the kids here."

"Not… At… ALL." Blu replied, pausing every time a chick bounced off his side. A tired smile formed on his face. Another night has gone to waste.

After a short while, Luis spotted the two toucans dancing. "Ralfy! Eva! Howz it going?"

Rafael was surprised to see Luis here. The two flew toward Luis and exchanged greetings. "You had to bring Blu and Jewel's kids?"

"Yep."

"Wait a minute." Blu pondered. "Weren't you also supposed to babysit Rafael and Eva's kids too?"

"Ohh yeah… Funny thing. About that…"

"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy…"

"Oh dear…" Both Rafael and Eva responded simultaneously.

Chaos erupts soon enough.
This night is going to be really tough.

"LUIS!"

A lively start, a tired finish.
A fun time was all they wish.

"I think I remember now why we agreed never to bring our kids here." A tired Rafael said as he walked out of the nightclub with his wife and kids.

Blu, Jewel and their three kids soon followed. "I agree. Three kids… is too much for me." Blu said.

"Try eighteen." Rafael softly answered back.

"I think it's time to head home."

And so they agreed, it's time to quit
As Luis would say, this was the spit!
But it was time to get back to earth
Well it was fun… for what it's worth.

Pedro and Nico then got out of the club. "Man that was fun? Hey, where did everybody go?" Pedro asked.

"They must've head home. It's late anyway."

"Well, I guess it's time to hit the hay. What about you?"

"I guess I'll stay."

"Whatever man. I'm done for tonight." Pedro yawned. "But hey, tomorrow will be very bright. Well good night. I'm signing out."

"I'll catch up with you… without a doubt."

And so Yellow and Red parted ways.
Pedro slept as Nico plays.
But all parties come to an end.
Time to head home. Time for bed.

And so, when Nico was ready to leave
His eyes were red. It's time to sleep.
"I need to get home." Nico said.
But his eyes were tired, vision blurred.

He flew like an aimless bird.
His flight was random, directions flawed.
Boy, was this really odd.
What could possibly go wrong?

Burst of lightning.

"Oh great, there's a storm."

Soon enough, it rained at last.
"I need to find a shelter fast."
He flapped his wings with all his might
"Looks like I'm not going home tonight."

He looked at his left. He looked at his right.
"This is a lost cause. Now I really am lost."
And so, he took refuge in a tree.
But the rain dripped, he could see.

Again, another place he had to find.
A little warmer, a little kind.
But at last, he spotted a seemingly friendly place.
He flew there quickly like it was a race.

He knocked from outside drenched in rain
"Is anyone there?" he tried in vain.
Again he shouted "Is anyone there?"
Hoping someone inside would care.

When no one from inside came out
He was ready to leave to go a bit south.
But soon the curtains opened up.
He changed his mind. He said "What's up?"

And so, this is where our story starts
About a new club in this here parts.
