(Ok, so this fanfic won't have Emma, Ashley या the other main ones in because it's about the impact an incident has on 7 of my पेंगुइन Ocs lives. :3 The first chapter's a little boring because it's और of an intro to the characters, their घर and their school life. This is set in 2010 when they were 12. :3 Hope आप enjoy and टिप्पणियाँ are appreciated. :D)

Young penguins from all around the village of Rycombe, deep within the continent of Antarctica, shuffled across the icy floors, all heading in the same direction, as a nippy wind tugged at their feathers. They all were heading for a large ice cave in the distance, beside the large clear expanse of water that separated it from Leopard सील, मुहर territory. Inside the cave was the village school, Icy Meadows. It wasn't much, not really like the schools that humans were taught in, but it would do for them. A few months ago, a colossal human ship crashed, not too far from the village, and was full of objects, such as furniture, books, bags, electronic equipment, make up, food, stationary, wood, metal and tools. In the past months, the village had take advantage of these supplies and their चोटी, शीर्ष scientist had recently discovered the key to electricity and technology. Because of this, the village school had been able to make proper classrooms and lockers, cook food, and tech the penguins और than the history of the village. As seven girl penguins approached the cave, one of them, the shortest squealed excitedly.

"I wonder what the inside looks like now?" She wondered, pushing the black hair feathers out of her light brown eyes, her feet tapping with excitement.

"Calm down Scarlette, it's probably not changed that much." A slightly taller one replied, rolling her eyes. She had light brown spiky hair feathers (though they was slightly darker at the bottom.) and dark brown eyes.

"You'll see Erin, you'll see." Scarlette said, smirking as she strolled up to the newly added wall, just inside the cave. Erin shook her head and grinned as she opened up the door just ahead of them. The seven girls stopped in surprise and stared around them in awe. Their former cold Ice school had been transformed into the ones they had seen in he पुस्तकें they had about school. There was a long corridor straight ahead, and two separate ones to the sides. The left corridor कहा 'Toilets' and the Right hand one कहा ' रात का खाना and Assembly Hall.' The one straight ahead was full of doors on the sides, and lockers. Each door had a little class name at the top. Because there were not many young penguins (roughly about 100 in the village) the school itself was small, and there was only about 10 classes going on at a time. There were 5 years in this school, साल 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. (The younger penguins went to the smaller school, nearer the center of Rycombe.) Scarlette, Erin and their sisters were all in साल 8. (As thy were sept-tuplets) The other sister were Becky, Lily, Cassie, Heather and Lexi. Becky had short, light blonde hair feathers tied back into a ponytail, and light brown eyes. Lily has long black hair feathers, which tumbled down her back and ice blue eyes. Cassie had short, wavy blonde hair and deep blue eyes. Heather had long, spiky black hair and dark green eyes, and Lexi had curly black hair and light green eyes.

"Woah.." Becky managed, walking down the middle corridor, her eyes darting from place to place.

"Woah indeed." Lily agreed, a smile tugging the corners of her face.

"Hey, all of these lockers have peoples names on!" Lexi exclaimed, pointing towards the lockers which surrounded the corridor. They were in alphabetical order according to last name. They came across theirs and piled around them. Lexi, Cassie and Scarlette were giggling excitedly, earning weird looks from the others. Heather hadn't even noticed but that was normal. Heather didn't notice much of anything, she was always दिवास्वप्न या listening to music. She talked very little and stayed in her own little world. She didn't really have any friends, but she preferred it that way, not having to deal with the stress that other penguins her age did with their friends. She glanced over at the lockers and walked silently to hers, dumping a few पुस्तकें in, closing it, then walking on to her first lesson. Cassie watched and shook her head sadly.

"I worry about her." She admitted.

"I don't, she may be different, but she gets good grades, and she's nice so I'm sure she'll be fine." Lily replied calmly.

"But she doesn't even hang around with anyone at break time, not even any of us." Cassie protested.

"Cass, it's her decision, and she seems to enjoy it. so leave her be." Lily said, an inch of sternness to her voice. Cassie (and Lexi) was one of the लोकप्रिय girls, and honestly, Lily was और worried about her turning into a mean person, than Heather's situation. Lily herself, didn't really consider herself too popular, she preferred to be around close फ्रेंड्स than a large group of people she didn't know so well. She hung around with Becky, whilst Cassie and Lexi were always together, and Scarlette and Erin were in the same friend group.

"So, how's your project about the Ice कैप्स coming along?" Becky asked Lily. Lily was an environmentalist, and a vegetarian, and recently, she had been trying to spread the word about the hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica and the melting ice caps. She so far she had had और success in talking to the adults about it, rather than the kids, leading her to believe that most teenagers were ignorant, arrogant people who only cared about messing around and being idiots.

"Its going pretty well, so far I've got over half of the village to stop dumping litter wherever they please, and shown the adults how to use the new found materials wisely so they don't cause और pollution." Lily told her brightly, dumping her leaf patterned rucksack into her locker and following Heather. The others did the same and followed, talking and giggling as they piled into their first lesson.
