Various Club Penguin Oneshots

Lost in the Mines

Gary the Gadget Guy didn't consider himself a brave penguin. He was barely 30cm tall, even standing up straight for one thing. When the director told him he urgently needed to send an agent into the mine, he had a sudden moment of realization that he would have to go in himself.

 "Oh, dear..." Gary sighed, pulling his lab coat around himself as he dragged a large minecart onto the tracks, working up a bit of a sweat. Clearly this wasn't designed for small penguins like him. He hopped into the cart, taking a deep breath and staring down into the black mineshaft. 

He was perched at the front of the cart, standing on the tips of his feet. Then it started moving."Ohh, dear..." Gary gripped tight, pushing his glasses up his nose and trembling with anxiety.

He squeezed his eyes shut as he found himself hurtling down the track, no idea what to do. He whined before suddenly feeling himself flung out of the minecart, hurtling through the air. 

 He kept his eyes squeezed shut, sudden silence as he was going through the air. He held his glasses and found himself slam onto the floor...

Gary whined with pain after hearing a sickening crack, pushing himself up and feeling one of his flippers... He winced and looked away, seeing it had been bent out of shape. It really, really hurt... 

 "I-I..." Gary stammered. He looked at the track, hobbling up to it, looking around and seeing no light at the end of the tunnel... He felt himself struck with fear...

Gary had pulled a lantern down and sat curled up in the corner, holding his flipper and trying to get it comfortable. The lantern was obviously designed for larger penguins, although it served as a nice source of light for himself. He just was worried about that one penguin he was supposed to be looking for... A hoodie, baseball cap, named Mochi...He could only just help that someone would find him and her...

He couldn't remember how long he'd been waiting for help before hearing something break the silence... Footsteps...A ghost?! 

He tensed up suddenly and lifted the lantern with his good flipper, letting his broken one flop to the ground. He struggled and tried to get to his feet, before seeing the black penguin emerge from around the corner. 

 "Are... Are you okay?" She spoke quietly. 

"O-oh..." Gary stammered. "Are... Are you Mochi?" 

"Yeah, that's me..." She kicked the ground, walking forward and kneeling before him so she could see him better. "You're Gary the Gadget Guy, right?" 

"Yes, that's me..." He spoke quietly. "I was supposed to come in here looking for you, are you alright, actually?" 

"I was just camping out in my secret base in the mine..." She spoke quietly before laughing. "Your flipper looks kind of beat up, need some help getting out of here?" 

"Yes please..."Gary felt a little weird being carried by a cute girl penguin, but he was and he was thankful especially considering he was being rescued... 

"It's nice to know someone was worrying about me, at least..." Mochi laughed a little as she carried him to safety.Gary decided not to tell her the Director told him to go after her...
