Orange Ratchet Fanmake Presents
(Weasel Choir)
Born free,
As free as the wind blows,
As free as the grass grows,
We see a jungle, where a grey donkey named Donkey was on a vine, Tarzan-style.
An Orange Ratchet and JusSonic production
Born free to follow your heart
Barbadogascar
Donkey got off the vine to see a lot of weasels singing, then, oddly, starting to fly off.
Live free,
And beauty surrounds you,

Donkey was almost there when…
"SURPRISE!"
"AHHHHH!"
Donkey snapped back to reality.
He was not in a jungle.
He was actually in a zoo.
And that dragon was not Donkey's predator. In fact, it wasn't even lunchbreak.
That dragon was Jake Long. Jake loved to scare Donkey out of his wits, even if he's in the mode.
"Yo, Jake, buddy, we talked about this, man. Don't interrupt me when I'm daydreaming. When the donkey's in the zone, you got to leave him alone." Donkey sighed.
"Sorry, Donk man. Just thought I drop by and wish you happy birthday." Jake said.
"Hey." Donkey smiled. "Thanks, Jake."
Jake then rubbed his mouth while uttering in pain.
"Say, Donkey, man, I got something in my teeth. Could you take a look at it for me?" Jake asked.
"Not at all, my friend." Donkey said. "Dr. Donkey D.D.S., in the house. Just hop on my examination table right over there."
Jake nodded as he hopped in the ledge and sat down as Donkey looked inside Jake's mouth. "I don't see anything."
"It's in the left." Jake said. "Dig deeper."
"Okay, just don't talk with your mouth full!" Donkey said as he looked deeper. "There we go, right in here!"
Donkey then pulled something from Jake's mouth... and stared at it in shock. "What in the name of fairy tales is this, man?"
"Happy Birthday!" Jake said as he pointed to the present that was in Donkey's hooves.
"OH!" Donkey said. "I get it. You put my birthday present in your tooth! That's clever of you!"
Donkey ripped open his present to reveal a little snowglobe. "Wow, a speciality dragon snowglobe, starring you!"
"Yeah, dude! These aren't even out on the shelves yet! And wait until you see what it does." Jake said as he shook the snow globe up. Donkey looked at it in awe, but was in deep thought.
Jake didn't notice as he said, "Can you believe that you just turned 10? A whole decade!"
It was then Jake noticed Donkey's sad look.
"What's wrong, dude?" Jake asked. "You don't like my present?"
"No, no, it's not that..." Donkey started.
"Oh, you hate it! Aw man, I knew I should have given you the Jake Long alarm clock!" Jake sighed.
"No, no, dude, the snow globe is great, really! It's just that another year has went and gone, and I'm still doing the same thing." Donkey said as he went to give Jake an example. "'Stand here! Walk over there! Eat food! Walk back over here!'"
Jake watched as Donkey demonstrated it. He smiled, knowing what's wrong with Donkey. "I think I know your problem."
"Law school?" Jake asked.
"No, dude. You just need to break out of that boring routine." Jake said. "In other words, throw out the old act. Just make it up as you go along. Ad lib, improvise, boom boom boom! Make it fresh."
"Fresh, huh?" Donkey wondered and then said. "All right. I could do fresh."
"It always works for me!" Jake smiled
Then, from the entrance of the zoo, the clock's bell started to ding as both Jake and Donkey looked up, Jake in excitement.
"Looks like the zoo is open!" Jake said in excitement. "Here comes the people, I love the people!"
Jake then started to fly around and dance around as he looked around the cages. He then flew over to a red furred hippo's cage where she was sleeping. This was Jake and Donkey's friend, Pepper Ann.
"Yo, Pep, up and at 'em, we're open!" Jake smiled.
"What day is it?" Pepper Ann said half-awake.
"Friday, of course! Field Trip Day!" Jake said as he started to fly off to another cage.
"Of course, Field Trip Day!" Pepper Ann said in confidence... then she yawned. "Five more minutes..."
Jake then flew over to a giraffe habitat where his artistic friend, Milo Kamalani lived.
"Yo, come on, Milo! We have a busy day here!" Jake smiled. "Rise and shine! It's another fabulous morning in the Big Apple!"
"No thanks, Jake. I'm calling in sick." Milo said as he came out, a hidden picture behind his back. "I found another spot on my belly and..."
Jake rolled his eyes. "Milo, you know that's something coming out of your mouth."
Milo graoned as he came out.
Jake chuckled as he started to fly over to another cage where an Iromite Wildcat lived. Jake was dancing on the roof as he smiled. "Wake up, Ichigo! Ichi, Ichi, Ichigo!"
"Alright, Jake, I'm up," Ichigo groaned as she looked up.
Ichigo watched Jake fly off as she sighed. Now, she was the newcomer of Jake's group of friends, and the only person who got carried off as an orphan due to her parents getting killed off. As far as she knew, she was the last Iromite Wildcat in the world. She didn't know if others existed. She never mated with anyone, and even if she would find a mate, the closest to an Iromite Wildcat was the rarest form of animal called a Cyniclon. But there were no Cyniclons to mate with in this part of the world, so Ichigo was very lonely. She at least had her friends to comfort her. And today was Donkey's birthday, so she thought maybe after entertaining all she could, she could take a break and visit Donkey, just to give an early happy Birthday.
