Antarctica

*enter Susan to a sick Caleb bearing मछली soup, an egg is seen rapped in blankets अगला to Caleb*

Susan: "Here eat this. आप need to keep your strength up."

Caleb: "Susan, we both know I'm dying. I can feel it. My mother had the same symptoms. She was gone within 3 days."

Susan: "No. आप can't leave me. We have to raise our baby...It must have a father!"

Caleb: "I know आप will take good care of our son या daughter. Why don't आप get your brother to help you?"

Susan: "He's gone all the time. I barely get to see him."

Caleb: "Susan, he can help आप during migration. That's about the only time you'll need big help. द्वारा then he will have no choice but to शामिल होइए in on the migration. आप will do just *breath* fine. I've been sick for 2 1/2 days. My time is coming. आप must be strong...for our baby."

Susan: *begins crying* "OK...I प्यार you..."

Caleb: "I प्यार you, too." *drifts slowly to sleep*

Susan: "Caleb! No! Come back to me! No! आप can't leave me!" *begins weeping harder*

*crack*

Susan: *looks up*

*crack*

Susan: *sees egg hatching* "Oh, Caleb...You just missed it..." *goes over and cradles her newborn boy* "I'll name आप Private. It was your grandfather's name..."

The अगला Morning...

Susan: *running up to her brother* "Nigel! It happened...He hatched!"

Nigel: "Oh, Susan! How wonderful! Uh, where's Caleb?"

Susan: "...Uh...Nigel...There's something I need आप to do..."

Nigel: "What is it, sister?"

Susan: "Caleb. He's...gone. It happened last night. While आप were away...I need आप to help me along the migration. आप have to help me raise my son."

Nigel: *takes Private from Susan* "Oh, Susan, I don't know if I can."

Susan: "Please. I have no one else..."

Nigel: "OK, my dear. I will try. So what's the chap's name?"

Susan: "Private. After Caleb's father."

Nigel: "Private. A lovely name."

5 Years Later...

*Susan & Nigel alone in the घर while Private plays outside with his friend*

Susan: "Nigel, this is getting to me. आप go away for a long time, sometimes even for days. You've got to tell me where आप go..."

Nigel: "Susan, आप know where I go. To the far side of the reserve, feeding the children."

Susan: "No आप don't. I went there yesterday to say hi & आप weren't there. What's going on Nigel?"

Nigel: *sigh* "I guess you'll find out sooner या later. I'm a secret agent. I go all over the reserve to help those in need."

Susan: "Secret agent? Why have आप never told me?"

Nigel: "I didn't want to worry आप या put आप या Private in any danger. आप have to promise me आप won't tell anyone. Especially Private."

Susan: *sigh* "OK. Fine. But be careful out there. आप know I need you."

Nigel: "Don't worry. I will."

11 Years After Birth...The Migration

*Susan & Nigel waddling along in that year's migration/Private waddling with his friends*

Nigel: *whispers to Susan* "Hey, do आप hear that?"

Susan: *listens*

RUN!!!

Susan/Nigel: *belly slide toward the sound*

*2 penguins are seen trying to escape a leopard seal*

Nigel: "I'm going to help them! Stay here!"

*Nigel goes to save the penguins*

*Susan follows disobediently*

*Nigel attempts to save the penguins but only manages to save the female, however she is badly injured*

Nigel: *goes to the female penguin* "Ma'am! Are आप OK? I'm so sorry I didn't get here sooner..."

Penguin: "It's OK. I know I'm not going to make it so I need आप to promise me one thing."

Nigel: "I'll try."

Penguin: "If आप meet a young पेंगुइन named Skipper, tell him I कहा I प्यार him..."

Nigel: "OK. I'll do just that."

Penguin: "Thank you. Thank *breath* you..." *drifts to sleep*

Nigel: "Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry, miss. Susan, it's OK now आप can come here..."

Susan: ...

Nigel: *rises to his feet & looks around* "Susan?"

Susan: ...

Nigel: "Oh no. No, no, no. This can't be happening...SUSAN!!!!" *echos her name*

*no response*

Nigel: "I can't believe this." *buries the female पेंगुइन & walks slowly back to the rookery of migrating penguins*

Back At The Migration...

Lithia: "Hey! You! Have आप seen my son? I've been looking for him ever since the migration started."

Nigel: "I'm sorry, no."

Lithia: "Oh, man. Hey! Have आप seen my son?"
*walks to another penguin*

Nigel: *goes to Private* "Listen, Private. There's something I need to tell you."

Private: "What is it Uncle Nigel? Where's momma?"

Nigel: "There was an accident, your mom is...gone. I'm sorry."

Private: "Gone? Where'd she go?"

Nigel: "Um, she's...in a better place."

Private: "No, आप don't mean..."

Nigel: *nods head slowly*

Private: *begins crying* "NO! This can't be happening!"

Nigel: *hugs him as he weeps* "I know, my boy. I'm crushed too."

*Private & Nigel begin walking alongside the migration slowly & silently, & gently weeping*
