[We see footage of the Aurora Australis, with starting with the red light and then a bluish green light, we then see footage of Antarctica at night with the camera panning right, we hear a narrator talking about it]

Narrator: On the southern end of Earth, lies an enormous snowy area, this, is Antarctica, the snowy landscape known for endless nights, fierce snowstorms, and the amazing Aurora Australis.

[Scene fades to a picture of Lolo]

Narrator: During the winter, the Adelie penguins stay far away at the North Sea.

[The scene cuts to the Adelie Penguins swimming in the water to the icy land]

Narrator: But when springtime comes to the Antarctic, they return home.

[Scene cuts to the penguins jumping out of the water onto the ice, it then cuts to the penguins landing on the ice, most of them land on their feet, one slides onto the ice on it's belly, while one lands on it's back, it then cuts to more footage of them jumping out of the water, it then cuts to the penguins marching to the nesting grounds]

Narrator: The father penguins are the first to return to their nesting grounds.

[We get 5 more seconds of them marching, then it cuts to them making their nests]

Narrator: Here, they prepare their nests, lay their eggs, and bring up their children.

[The camera zooms in on a Purple penguin waddling with some rocks in his hands, he then falls dropping his rocks, as 3 penguins come over one by one and take his rocks]

Purple Penguin: HEY! COME BACK HERE!!

[The scene cuts to Toto, the penguin leader and Lolo's father, who waddles up to his nest carrying a rock, he then puts down his rock and knocks away a rock that was on the right of his nest, he then puts the rock he was carrying in the former rock's place, and then takes another rock and puts on top of the same rock]

[The scene cuts to a teal colored penguin putting a rock on his nest, then the purple penguin from before comes up and takes a rock that he was standing on, which causes the rocks to slide and the penguin standing on them to fall on his back]

[The scene then cuts to 2 penguins doing a tug of war with a rock in their mouths, the penguin on the right gets it, and then swallows it much to the penguin on the left's surprise, the penguin on the right then hiccups twice]

[We then cut back to the teal penguin, wiping his hands, the purple penguin then tries to get some rocks, but the penguin just glares at him, then the purple penguin jumps offscreen]
