A Lost Flying Heart (Club Penguin - Jetkie Fanfic)

Rough morning

Rookie was worried about Jet Pack Guy.

When he came to work this morning, he seemed extremely tired and lost in his own thoughts, which was pretty unusual. The agent would always go to sleep early and get up from bed early, with full on energy, and he would always focuse on work more than anything. Maybe he had a bad night ? Or maybe his mission at the Ski Hill had actually drained all of his energy ? Was the task that exhausting ?

The green penguin pondered as he leaned on his chair, in front of his desk. Chewing on the eraser on the top of a pen, he looked up at the ceiling, trying to figure out what was happening with his best friend, and how he could help him out. Maybe he could make a duckie just for him ? Wait, no, already did last week. Helping him with some tasks at work ? But he doesn't want to mess things up and upset JPG even more... A drawing ? Telling jokes ?

Rookie groaned and rubbed his face, already feeling the headache coming from all these questions and doubts.

Perhaps he could just ask him ?
But maybe it's something personnal ?
What if he makes him feel even worse ?
What if he was actually wrong and everything was alright and he would just come out as paranoid ?

"Rookie ?"

The green penguin jolted in his chair.

"GWAH !"

...And fell face first on the floor.

"Whoa ! Are you okay, Rooks ?"

As Rookie got up from the ground, feeling a bit of pain from his fall, he saw a purple flipper to his right reaching out to him.

"O-Oh, hiya Dot !"

Rookie took Dot's flipper as she helped him getting up. She gave him a little smile as he brushed the dust off himself.

"You seemed lost in thoughts, what's on your mind ?" asked the disguise gal.

"Well... Have you noticed something... odd about JPG ?"

The green penguin gestured to his colleage's desk, which was only at the opposide of his own. Dot raised a brow.

"Well... It is true that he seemed more on the edge than usual..."

"Do you think it has something to do with the job hevhad to do yesterday ? At the Ski Hill ?"

The disguise gal pinched her chin (or lower part of her beak).

"I doubt that. I don't see Jet Pack Guy getting worked up over some task as basic as watching over penguin doing sleds. Maybe he's troubled by something outside of work ?"

Rookie scratched his head.

"Do you think we should... just ask him what's wrong ?"

"You know JPG isn't the kind of sharing his feelings with others. I'm pretty sure he's gonna tell us he's fine, or that it's nothing important."

"But we can't just leave him like that..."

Dot put her flipper on Rookie's shoulder was a reassuring smile on her face.

"Don't worry Rooks. We'll just tell him that if he needs to talk or anything, we are here for him."

The green goofball was still worried.

"And that's all..."

The purple penguin shrugged.

"You know, while it's a good thing to be here for someone, sometimes people just need some time alone, for themself."

Rookie looked down.

"If you say so..."
