Here is part seven. It took me awhile to write it, and I hope wewe like it.
When I woke up, something didn't feel right. It felt like I was in a place I knew, and I knew that could not be true. The weirdest thing was that I had a real blanket, and I had not had one of those for four years.
Even though I woke up with the same feeling that I had every day, I felt that I couldn't do any of those things. My brain told me that I was in the same place that I was every night, even though it felt different. I felt my muscles strengthen, ready to start another siku of hunger, loneliness, and misery.
Since I smelled coffee and fish, I thought I must've fallen asleep near a grocery store. I looked up, and saw Skipper at the meza, jedwali drinking coffee.
Suddenly, it all came back to me. How I had found nyumbani and my friends. Then I thought of Manfridi, and how I would never see him again.
"Oh good, your up," alisema Skipper, who had just spotted me.
"Yes, I'm up," I replied.
I got up off the floor and walked over to the table. Ivy was also awake, and sitting at the table. I sat down inayofuata to her. Not that I like her, au anything, I hardly know her. I just felt like sitting there.
"So, when is it going to be breakfast, lunch, au whenever wewe get your meals?" I asked.
"Oh, in about an saa au so," Ivy replied. "Why do wewe ask that?"
"I'm starving right now," I said.
"There's some samaki in the closet over there," alisema Skipper, and then he showed me with his flipper.
"Thanks," I said, after I got it.
I looked behind me because I thought I heard something. I was right. Rico was sleepwalking towards the table. He had probably smelled my fish.
Rico bumped into the table, sending Skipper's coffee cup flying across the HQ. Skipper caught it just in time. Rico was now awake, because he had bumped into the table.
"Oops!" He said.
"Um, I was thinking, wouldn't Alice notice an extra penguin?" Ivy asked.
"Hm, I never thought of that," alisema Skipper. "Ivy's right, we have to keep wewe undercover!"
"That's not what I was trying to say," Ivy said. "I meant, we have to find a way to change the zoo's records and have it say that there are six penguins."
"Okay, that will work, too," alisema Skipper. "But how are we suppose to do that?"
"The zoo's records are probrobly on Alice's computer," I said. "If we can get on it, we could probably change the records."
"Yes but none of us can read, and it would take to long to have the chimps do it!" Skipper said.
"I can read," I said.
"Okay," alisema Skipper. "Let's get on with Operation Zoo Records."
