Club Penguin Times #372

Yes!  The Club Penguin Times is back!  No more of that "Club Herbert Times" business.

CLUB PENGUIN IS SAVED!
The Blackout has ended, thanks to the bravery of the EPF.

By Aunt Arctic - Arter three scary weeks of darkness and cold, the villainous Herbert P. Bear is defeated.  His plans foiled by the EPF.  Thanks to their bravery, dedication and sacrifice, Club Penguin is free.

YAY!


The sun is back, the snow is melting, and Herbert is on the run, thanks to the EPF and the citizens of Club Penguin.  A heavy price was paid however,  The EPF headquarters was destroyed, and many agent identities were revealed.  But through it all, no one ever gave up hope.

"We are here to serve and protect," said Jet Pack Guy , one of the agents revealed by Herbert.  "I don't care if my cover is blown."  "I'm still gonna be out there, taking down evil doers.  Watch out Herbert!  This Guy's back in the sky!"

"We've got a lot of rebuilding to do," said Dot, another revealed agent.  "But we're up to the task.  Last week I saw amazing agents rise up, and do extraordinary things.  Together we're unstoppable."
The Director of the EPF sent word s well, and hid this message for all the penguins and puffles of the land.  "Well done, agents and citizens alike.  We have proven that nothing is stronger than our resolve."

"And to Herbert, I send this message.  We are resourceful.  We are remarkable.  We are ready."


ISLAND GETS NEW LOOK

Construction penguins updated buildings around the island.

By Aunt Arctic - Now that the Blackout has ended, and all the extra snow is gone, did you notice something different about Club Penguin this week?  If your answer was that nearly every building on the island looks new, you're right!

It turns out that Rory and many other construction workers were working in secret, to try and help others weather the Blackout.  "We were trying to make 'em all warmer and sturdier," Rory commented.  "And we thought - hey!  Why not make 'em snazzier, shinier, and tastier too?"

Take a waddle around the island this week, and admire the new architecture.  It makes for a welcome sight after all the troubles of the last few weeks.

ASK AUNT ARCTIC

Dear Aunt Arctic,
Are we safe from Herbert?
-Izzie Gong

Now that Herbert's base is destroyed, and EPF agents are searching the island in force, the island is definitely safe once again.  For now.

After interviewing several agents, including EPF Public Relations Officer Rookie, it turns out that Herbert has been lurking around for some time.  And has caused a great deal of trouble in the past.

"Yeah, Herb's a mean guy," Rookie commented.  "He's blown up buildings  Stolen top secret technology.  Almost sank the island.  He even took my spy phone this one time.  He's bad news!"

"Until now, Herbert has been classified information.  But now that he took over the island, most penguins seem to know about him.  So we'll keep you guys more up to date in the future."

Although Herbert is still at large, the EPF will never rest until justice is done.

But we all must them where we can.  If you see anything suspicious, please alert the nearest agent.


Dear Aunt Arctic,
Are penguin parties back to normal?
-Parr T Thyme?

It is my pleasure to say that all Club Penguin parties are back on schedule, and decorators are already making up for lost time.

"Yes!" said one clothing designer in the Clothes Shop.  "We're sewing, buttoning, stitching, and crocheting at lightening speed right now!  The Holiday Party is SO on!"

"There's no way we're going to let some grumpy polar bear get us down."  "Let's get ready to party hearty!"

The word around the island too is that Rockhopper has been spotted in the telescope, heading toward the island at top speed.  And for those who know Rockhopper, it will be impossible to prevent a party when he gets here.

So take heart, my friends.  No matter what happens, Club Penguin will always bounce back.  And remember: what do we ALWAYS do in the face of disaster?  We throw a party.

Allow me to be the first to wish you Happy Holidays!

Here's this week's secret!
