  Precilla Preline's eyes widen as she saw the building in front of her. Was it true? Could it be? Was she actually here? Precilla squeals in delight, and was about to belly slide right in, until she realized that it might be a little bit too surprising for the storks inside. As far as she knew, she's the only one who's not a stork at T.O.T.S. Or was she? She couldn't remember exactly what was said about other birds. She sighed and walked in the building, pulling her luggage with her. She gasped at the sight she saw, but wasn't able to dwell on it any longer as her eyes land on a pelican who seemed to be in her late thirties. Precilla felt a little bit unsure about working here now. All the workers here may be waaay older than her. Maybe in their late twenties. But her anxiety dwindled as the pelican smiled at her and waved her over. She followed the command.

"Hello, Precilla Preline. Such a pleasure to have you here at T.O.T.S," the pelican said, "Also, have a merry Christmas!"

"It is such a pleasure to be here, Captain Beakman! And merry Christmas to you, too!" Precilla replied enthusiastically, knowing the names of most of the important birds here by heart. Captain Beakman gave a merry little laugh laugh and started walking through a gigantic blue arched dorway.

"Now I know that we hve recruited you late, so you haven't been able to settle in. I hope you could forgive us for that," Captain Beakman said as she walked, her head turning towards Precilla to give her a gentle smile.

    "Of course not, Captain Beakman!" Precilla said, attempting to sound serious, but there was no way there wasn't a tinge of excitement in her voice.

    "Well, before today's weekly meeting, you should get your uniform and your Fly Pad," Captain Beakman said, gesturing to her own violet uniform riddled with countless badges and her heart-shaped tablet that she held in her wing. She smiled with a tad bit of disappointment at what Precilla was wearing, which was a knitted Christmas sweater. Captain Beakman knew that penguins aren't accustomed to the heat, but she decided not to ask about it.

Captain Beakman took a right turn and Precilla followed with a huge spring in her step. Soon enough, they come to a stop at a blue door. Captain Beakman opened it and stepped inside. Precilla quickly followed. Her eyes grew wide at the vast array of blue uniforms to choose from. Most of them were dark blue, but all the smaller ones were a lighter shade of blue. Then her eyes travelled to the stack of tablets in the corner. Captain Beakman inspected the uniforms and caps, putting a thoughtful wing on her chin. She smiled as she come across one of the bigger light blue uniforms and took them off the rack, then took one Fly Pad.

"Here," Captain Beakman said, handing them all to her, "The uniforms should be your size"

Precilla smiled wide, excitedly taking the stack of uniforms, her Fly Pad and her cap. She stared at the badge on it. It had always been her dream to see it on herself with her own two eyes, and it was finally about to happen!
