Chapter 1:

It was a about 12:00 PM in the Lemur habitat. Maurice and Raymond were standing near the throne talking. They were waiting for Julien to come back from the penguin's habitat. "This place looks like a lion would live here." Raymond said. "Well, I think one did. There was a lion back in Madagascar a while back saying he's from here." Maurice said. "Really," Raymond replied, "What was his name?" Maurice didn't answer. He was starring into the Baboon habitat, particularly at Darla. "Maurice!" Raymond yelled to get Maurice's attention. "Wow Maurice, you always seem to stare in that general direction. Why are you starring there, and why at that particular Baboon?" Raymond questioned. "What, uhhh…well…"Maurice stammered. "You like her. Don't you?" Raymond said smiling. "What?! No I don't!" Maurice snared at Raymond. "OH Really, then how come that everyday we stand up here, you're always watching the Baboons dance. Particularly that one?" Raymond said pointing at Darla. "Well," Maurice stammered, then sighed, "Okay I like her." "Why don't you talk to her then?" Raymond questioned. "I can't." Maurice answered. Raymond just looked at him and said "I'll talk to her for you." Raymond was about to leave when Maurice stopped him. "No. I can't," Maurice explained, "King Julien tried that once, and she stole his ability to dance." "Wait, what?" Raymond said with a look of confusion. "It's a long story." Maurice said. Okay…I don't even want to know. Raymond thought. "Alright then." Raymond said " How do we get you to talk to her without her stealing your dancing ability?" "You don't have to do this." Maurice said. "Nonsense," Raymond said, "You should have someone to love. We all do. Except Julien and Mort, but Mort doesn't count because he's too young, and Kyle." Just then, Erik came up from out of nowhere. "What's up guys?" The bat said with his Southern Accent. "Erik," Raymond said smiling, "I have a job for you. Maurice here has a crush on the baboon over there." Raymond said pointing to the Baboon habitat. "Who Darla?" Erik said. "Yeah," Raymond continued, "Now, we need you to go over there and talk to her for him." "Why me?" Erik asked. "You have the Southern Accent. SO she wouldn't hurt you," Raymond said reassuringly, "So, will you do it?" "Depends," Erik said hoping to get something out of it, "What's in it for me?" "Ummm…I give you…a snow cone or something." Raymond said. "Alright then." Erik said happily. "Good! Now go. We'll be waiting right here." Raymond said patting the bat on the back. Then Erik flew off to the Baboon habitat.

As Erik flew into the Baboon habitat, the baboons instantly noticed him and stopped dancing. "Hello," Darla said with her southern accent, "How can we help you?" Erik then took a deep breath and said, "Well, you see, I have his friend that's very interested in you. And would like to get to know you a lot better." "Oh really," Darla said, "And what does this friend look like?" "Oh," Erik continued, "He's about my height, heavy, and has dark fur." Then Darla said, "Ah shoot. I get the message, of course I'll go out with ya."

Then Erik's face and expression changed after hearing this. "Wait, what?" He questioned.

"Just meet me back here at 7:00 PM alright?" "Uhhh…." Erik said confusingly, "Sure…okay…" Then Erik flew back to Lemur habitat to tell Raymond and Maurice about the plan backfiring.

Maurice and Raymond saw them from a distance, but couldn't hear what they were saying. Maurice was very nervous; he thought that this wasn't going to work. Raymond, on the other hand, was smiling; he had a good feeling that this was going to work. 10 minutes later, Erik flew back with a sad and confused look on his face. "What's wrong Erik did the plan work?" Raymond asked. "Yeah it worked," Erik said, "But it backfired. Now, I have a date with a baboon at 7 tonight." Oh crap, Raymond thought, how am I going to fix this? And who's going to tell Kelsi?

Side note: Just so you know, I saw the new episode of POM yesterday. Darla was DreamWorks Studios idea, not mine. Also, this episode is almost similar to the episode Monkey love, but it's not. It's happening to different characters, and what happens is also very different. So I'm not trying to copyright anything.

One more thing, if my typing sucks, I'll try to type better. This is my 2nd fanfic after all.
