Not So Happy Feet

Four and One were dancing in the Gym.

Four: Good dancing, One! Left, right, up down!! 

One: Oooh 

Four: My turn now! 

One stops the music. 

Four: One, what happened?

One changes the music.

Four: You want me to dance to that music?

One: Goo. (Nods)

Four: Okay then. 

One was joining in with Four. 

Four: This is fun, One. 

The music stops and the music player broke.

Four: Oh no! The music player, it's broken! I will fix it then...

The alarm goes... 

Four: Will sort that out later, I need to go now. Bye One!

Four arrives to the Control Room. 

Six: We got a call from Agent Eighty Eight. 

Agent Eighty Eight: Agent Eighty Eight here, something is going wrong. 

Three: But, not for long. 

Agent Eighty Eight: There's a penguin that couldn't dance. So can somebody go out to sort that problem? It's in the South Pole by the way. 

Five: Will send somebody out, Agent Eighty Eight. 

Agent Eighty Eight: Thanks! 

Six: So who's going?? 

Everyone was looking at Four.

Four: Why is everyone looking at me? 

Five: I think you seem up for this mission, because you seem to like dancing lately. 

Four: What? Me? But the South Pole is freezing cold. 

Three: Don't worry Four, take your thick coat with you. You will do fine. 

Four: Alright. 

Four heads to the Launcher and the song plays. 

Five: Checking the room....there's somebody over there!! 

Three: Ringing the doorbell....(presses doorbell) 

Five: All clear now! 

Three, Five and Six: Four, Three, Two, One, Zero!! 

Four arrives putting his coat on. 

Four: It's freezing...Brrrrr 

Mumble: Hello there, I'm Mumble the Penguin, I will give you my warmth. 

Four: Hi Mumble, how are you? It's very cold here.. 

Mumble: Not very good. I can't dance for some reason. My feet can't tap anymore. 

Another penguin comes over, who was crying. 

Four: Mumble, who is this? 

Mumble: That is my girlfriend, Gloria the penguin. I wonder what happened to her. 

Four: Gloria, are you okay? 

Gloria: No! I can't sing anymore. I am very upset that I lost my singing ability (sobs) 

Four: I wonder what's made your abilities go away. 

There was a human face floating in the air.

Puzzler: It was me, I was the one that took it away, I did it because I don't like them anyways. It is too much noise and I don't like your voice. 

Three: Oh no! The Puzzler! 

The Puzzler song is played.

Four: Puzzler! You know Mumble and Gloria want to dance and sing, you can't take away these!

Puzzler: Oh yes, I can you pesky Four, penguins do not sing or dance. But, if you want these penguins to dance and sing again, I have a puzzle for you. Can you find out what dance they do and song they sing? 

Four: I don't know! 

Five: What dance does Mumble do and what song does Gloria sing? 

Six: Calling all agents! 

Agent Forty One: Agent Forty One here, I think Mumble likes tap dancing. Do it with Brain Gain! 

The Brain Gain song is played and powering up.

Three: Tap dancing! Tap dancing! (chanting) 

Four got the Brain Gain power.

Four: Tap dancing! (the power is zapped to the Puzzler, with success) 

Puzzler: Well done Four! Now, you got is Gloria. 

Agent Eighty Eight: It's me again, Four you can't have the Brain Gain. 

Four: Why? 

Agent Eighty Eight: Gloria likes singing, so you need a Numberjack that likes singing. 

Four: I can't sing! 

Three: I sing a lot...do re mi fa so la qi do! Do qi la so fa mi re do! 

Six: I guess you need to get ready to be launched Three. 

Three heads to the launcher and got her coat. 

Five and Six: Three, Two, One, Zero! 

Three: It's cold!! Brrr.... 

Gloria: Hello, I'm Gloria. You are coming to help me. 

Three: Yes, what song do you like to sing, Gloria? 

Gloria: How about Somebody to Love? 

Three: Let's sing and attack Puzzler? 

Five: Sending the lyrics of Somebody to love...(jumping in Brain Gain) 

Three and Gloria: Can anybody find me somebody to love ohh oh ho...(singing it)

The Brain Gain zapped the Puzzler and they did it.

Puzzler: Oh boo hoo! Your singing and dancing, you beat me again, and so long.

Mumble: Thank you! I can dance again! 

Gloria: And I can sing again! 

Four: Glad you are alright, we are heading home. 

Three: Bye Mumble and Gloria! 

Mumble: Thank you and goodbye!

Gloria: See you next time!

Three and Four fly back. 

Five: All clear for landing... 

Five and Six: One, Two, Three, Four! 

Five: Well done Three and Four! 

Three: It was mainly Four, I only needed to go because of Gloria 

Six: But, you both did very well. 

Four: Maybe, once I fix the music player. I can dance and you can sing Three. We can perform for the other Numberjacks. 

The music player is fixed and Four and Three did a wonderful performance in the Gym.
