The penguins took a vacation, but their private plane broke. They were in Madagascar. "Skipper, where are we?" Private asked. "Kowalski?" Skipper asked. "I think we're in Madagascar." Kowalski said. "Oh great." Skipper said. Rico looked around. Then they saw a bunch of lemurs. "Oh no. I think we picked the wrong time to be here." Skipper said. "Why?" Rico asked. "Look! Lemurs are everywhere! I can handle three lemurs, but I draw the line at twenty!" Skipper yelled. "What's going on over here? Is there something called a Lemur Con?" Kowalski asked. "Or maybe they're looking at that lemur." Private said. "Private, that's actually a Crowned Lemur." Kowalski said. "I don't care what kind of lemur that is. Rico, go fix that car." Skipper said.

Then King Julien saw the penguins. "Hey! Penguins!" Julien yelled. "Ringtail!" Skipper yelled. "Everyone, these are my friends from the Central Park Zoo." Julien said. The Crowned Lemur ran in front of Julien and attacked the penguins. The penguins groaned. "Are you alright your majesty?" The female lemur asked. "Yes Clover. These are my friends. Penguins, this is my girlfriend, Clover." Julien said. Clover slapped Julien. Skipper smiled. "We are not boyfriend and girlfriend!" Clover yelled. Skipper walked over to Clover. He extended his wing. "My name is Skipper. I just saw you slap Ringtail. Good arm." Skipper said. "Thank you." Clover said. "And who are these guys?" Clover asked. "Well this is my team. That's Kowalski, Rico, and Private." Skipper said. "Hello. Wait, are you evil?" Clover asked. "What? No! I run an elite team." Skipper said.

"Oh. Sorry. I get paranoid." Clover said. "Me too." Skipper said. "Really?" Clover asked. Skipper nodded. "Wow. I did not know that." Clover said. "So when did you meet Ringtail?" Skipper asked. "The day when he became a king." Clover said. "Wow. That was a long time ago. We met him here." Skipper said. "Before I was the king's bodyguard, I was his uncle's bodyguard." Clover said. "Wow. Our lives started in Antarctica. Kowalski, Rico, and I were just kids and we adopted Private." Skipper said.

"That's nice. Now you said that get paranoid." Clover said. "Oh I do, and if I don't get enough sleep, I could probably be your worst enemy. I get more paranoid." Skipper said. "Me too." Clover said. "One time I thought that this lemur named Hector was planning to start revolution that would cause chaos and destruction to the kingdom. What about you?"

"Here's a good one. I was suffering from insomnia due to Ringtail's night parties. I thought Private was a traitor. In the end, he was just repeating some quotes from Shakespeare." Skipper said. "Wait, did you just say that the king was having late night dace parties?" Clover asked. Skipper nodded. "Yes." Skipper said. "Um, Skipper?" Kowalski asked. "What's up?" Skipper asked. "We're getting bored." Kowalski said. Julien walked over to Kowalski.

"You can hang out with me. Come on penguins." Julien said and he grabbed Kowalski, Rico, and Private. "Alright. Let's keep talking." Skipper said. "Hold up! I sense something." Clover said. "Really?" Skipper asked. "False alarm. Sorry. I felt a tic in my tail. I thought something was wrong." Clover said. "That's like me with my gut." Skipper said. "Seriously?" Clover asked. "Yeah. We should have met years ago. We share the same personality traits. This is great. I never met anyone who shared the same traits as me until now." Skipper said. "I'm glad you like it. I like it too. Hey Skipper, you want to hang out later?" Clover asked. "Sure." Skipper said. "Great. I'll see you at five." Clover said and she walked away.

It was now four o'clock pm. Private, Rico, and Kowalski were hiding from Julien and the lemurs. "I swear, everyone is cursed with lemur stupidity!" Kowalski yelled. "What is that?" Private asked. "Every single lemur is stupid." Kowalski said. "Oh." Rico said. Skipper saw his brothers. "Hey!" Skipper yelled. Kowalski, Rico, and Private screamed. "Oops." Skipper said. Kowalski sighed in relief. "Oh it's just you." Kowalski said. "We thought you were one of the lemurs." Private said. "Why are you hiding from the lemurs?" Skipper asked. "They're all stupid!" Rico yelled. "Can we go home now?" Kowalski asked. "Guys, you're not going to like this, but I don't want to leave yet." Skipper said.

The three penguins gasped. "What? Skipper, you hate the lemurs. Why would you want to stay?" Kowalski asked. "There's one lemur that I don't hate and that's Clover. We share the personality traits." Skipper said. "Fine, but then can we go home?" Private asked. "Fine." Skipper said. Then he gasped. "I have a great idea. Be right back." Skipper said and he ran away. Kowalski, Rico, and Private shrugged.

"Clover! How would you like to come with me to the Central Park Zoo?" Skipper asked. "Me? But I have to watch King Julien." Clover said. "Oh come on! Everyone needs a break." Skipper said. "But..." Clover was interrupted by Julien. "Yes! Clover can take a break. Take her Skipper." Julien said. "Okay. Let's go." Skipper said. He took Clover to where Kowalski, Rico, and Private were. "Let's go." Kowalski said. "Did you fix the private jet?" Skipper asked. Rico nodded. "Perfect. Clover, you're with me." Skipper said. The four penguins and Clover went back to the Central Park Zoo.

When they got to the Zoo, they went to the Penguin HQ. Skipper sighed in relief. "No annoying lemurs. The only lemur that I can trust is Clover." Skipper said. Kowalski went to his lab and Rico and Private turned the TV on. Skipper and Clover left the Penguin HQ. They were hanging out in the Penguin Habitat. They sat down on two chairs.

"So tell me some other things about you." Skipper said. "Sure. I always use use excessive force in my plans and operations." Clover said. Skipper gasped. "No way." Skipper said. "What, you do it too?" Clover asked. "Yes." Skipper said. "What else?" He was very interested. "Well you know that I'm the king's personal bodyguard. I'm also highly skilled in hand to hand combat." Clover said. "That's like me. I'm also very suspicious." Skipper said. "Yep. Me too. Have you had a crush on anyone?" Clover asked. Skipper shook his head. "Okay." Clover said. "Why? Are you in love with someone?" Skipper asked.

"Well I like this lemur named Sage." Clover said. " Oh. Any siblings?" Skipper asked. "Yes. I do have one. Crimson. She's the opposite of me. We have a sister rivalry." Clover said. "I told you that I have three brothers." Skipper said. "What about fears?"

"Fears? I'm not scared of anything. I'm very brave." Clover said. "Lucky. I've got one. I've got a fear of needles. Kowalski calls it Trypa...trypan...whatever it is. I don't know how to say it." Skipper said and sighed. "Hey it's alright. Not everyone is brave." Clover said. "But I'm the leader of the penguins." Skipper said. "Even leaders have fears." Clover said. "You're right." Skipper said. "I hate it."

"What?" Clover asked. "One time I tried to help Ringtail, but he had to do some knitting. I can't do that because of my fear of needles." Skipper said. "Don't go so hard on yourself." Clover said. "Thanks Clover." Skipper said and he smiled. "Actually back with crushes, I had some, but it didn't last. I fell in love with a falcon, but that failed, and I once met a perfect girl, but after that day, I lost her phone number. Oh well. I'm not upset." Skipper said.

"Okay." Clover said. "Now here are some very stupid things about me." Skipper said. "Nothing is stupid Skipper. You're not stupid. The lemurs on the other hand, yeah." Clover said. "Anyway, I like hard pillows." Skipper said. "That's not weird. Heck, I like water slides." Clover said. "Cool. If I get mad, I scream as loud as I can." Skipper said. "Here's one. I'm the only female lemur who is not cursed with lemur stupidity." Clover said. "Good." Skipper said. "I used Ringtail's crown twice." Skipper said. "Really?" Clover asked. Skipper nodded. "I have a soft spot for Mort." Clover said. "Sad eyes? Wow. I've got a soft spot for Private. He's naive and vulnerable. I'm trying to toughen him up. I also want to protect him." Skipper said. "Aw. That's sweet." Clover said.

Kowalski, Rico, and Private were in the HQ. They were bored to death. "What is Skipper doing?" Private asked. Rico looked around and he saw Skipper and Clover talking and laughing. "Aw. Skipper and Clover, sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g." Rico sang. "Stop that! You don't want Skipper to find out." Kowalski said. "But look at them. They're having a great time together." Rico said. "Yeah. Don't bother them." Kowalski said.

"I have a personal space. If anyone goes into it with my permission, gets punched!" Clover yelled. Skipper laughed. "Yes! I wish I can do that!" Skipper yelled. "Why?" Clover asked. "Ringtail gets on my nerves." Skipper said. "Well you can't hurt King Julien. I'm his bodyguard." Clover said. "Oh. Sorry." Skipper said. "I would do anything to save my king." Clover said. "Okay." Skipper said sadly. He really wanted a personal space so he can punch Julien if he goes into it, but Clover won't allow it. "What do you drink?" Clover asked. "Fish coffee in the morning." Skipper said. "I like coffee too. Minus the fish." Clover said.

"Right. You're a lemur." Skipper said. Skipper sighed. "What?" Clover asked. "I just never thought that I'd have a friend who's a lemur. They mainly get on my nerves." Skipper said. "But I don't right?" Clover asked. "No. You don't." Skipper said. "I have talent." Clover said. "Tell me it." Skipper said. "I can kill things in forty-five different ways with just my teeth, writing, and drawing." Clover said. "Nice." Skipper said.

Kowalski walked over to Skipper and Clover. "Skipper, it's getting late. You should stop talking to Clover." Kowalski said. "Oh. Wow. Time flies when you're having fun." Skipper said. "You got that right." Clover said. "Alright Clover. Until we meet again." Skipper said and he extended his wing. Clover shook Skipper's wing. Just before Clover left, Skipper had an idea. "Wait! Want to have a sleepover at the HQ?" Skipper asked. "Sure." Clover said. Kowalski, Rico, and Private's jaws dropped.
