Hi! Um… This is the first time that I have written an Ape Escape story, but it shouldn't be the last. I love Ape Escape, so um, please read. =)









"Um, Specter?"

"What is it, Rox?" asked Specter in an annoyed voice. "Can't you see that I'm busy? Whatever this is, it must be important- well, it better be."

"Oh, ugh, never mind then…"

"Oh no, Rox, whatever you want to tell me is important. It has to be or else you wouldn't have come to me while I was working."

"Um…"

Rox had no idea what to tell Specter. All that he wanted was a sandwich. So quickly he made up a lie.

"Jake lost to Spike!!!" he shouted.

"WHAT?!"

"Spike beat Jake!"

"How can this be?" asked Specter.

"Jake fell and then he hit his nose!"

"How? How could Jake lose? No, how could SPIKE WIN??"

"It was Noah's fault!"

"What did he do?"

"Noah and Bull! They put some sort of pill in Jake's ice cream!"

"Ice cream? Where did they get ice cream?"

"Ali gave it to us!"

"Where did he get it from?"

"Ali smuggled it from Russia!"

"No! And all of this time I trusted them? Good work, Rox. You will get two bananas for week's pay. I will go take care of those mangy monkeys tonight! Rox!"

"Yes Specter?"

"Good work."

Rox smiled. Lies were fun.

Pugs and Rox were best friends. They were some of the cutest monkeys- who played boxing, anyway.

"What's all the raucous?" asked Pugs, who wasn't aware of what Rox had told Specter. "Is there an intruder?"

"Gee, we'd better go check," said Rox.

"Yeah," agreed Pugs, and they ran to the door.

They did not find any intruders, but the two did find Noah, Bull, and Ali charging towards Rox, and they didn't look very happy.

"Smuggled ice cream from Russia?" said Ali.

"Put a pill in Jake's ice cream?" said Bull.

"Jake lost to Spike? You make me sick!" yelled Noah.

"What are you guys talking about?" asked Pugs. "What's going on between you guys, Rox?"

"Don't listen to Rox's answer, Pugs!" yelled Bull.

"Yeah, he might tell another one of his BIG FAT LIES!!!" said Ali.

Just then, there was a large rumble at the door. Naz and Murv were running as fast as they could, screaming.

"Intruder! Intruder!" yelled Naz as he passed the fighting monkeys.

"What?" asked Pugs.

"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!" yelled Murv.

The monkeys obeyed and began to run. Not far behind them were Spike and his Time Net.

"I'll get you, monkeys!" he yelled.

"Ah!" screamed the monkeys.

Spike got out his Sling Back Shooter and began to shoot the monkeys, making them fall over. They yelled in pain.

"Ha! Ha! I'll get you now!" said Spike.

"No!" said the monkeys as they got back up and began to run.

Spike got his Sling Back Shooter and began to shoot the monkeys again.

"Ha! Ha!" said Spike, getting out his Time Net.

"No! Stop!" said Rox. "Stop!"

"Hugh? You're just monkeys! You can't do anything to stop me!"

"Oh! Please! I'll do anything if you just let my friends go- and me!"

"Anything?"

"Anything."

"Like what?" asked Spike.

"I'll work for you," replied Rox. He had tears in his eyes. "Just don't make me go back to the zoo, that awful place! They hardly feed me! I only have a two by two cage!"

"Hmm… How long will you work for me?" asked Spike.

Rox burst into tears. The other monkeys were trapped in a corner, shaking with fear.

"I don't know," said Spike.

"Don't make us go back!" said Pugs. "Please, don't make us!" said Pugs. He began to cry, too.

"Hmm, I don't think that I want to have you work for me," said Spike. I'd rather have your little friend here be my pet. He's so cute." He pointed to Pugs.

"Hey! Don't take him!" said Rox.

"Do you want to go back to the zoo?" asked Spike.

"No. Take him."

"Alright then, you're coming with me, little monkey," he said, picking up Pugs.

"Chee cha chah," said Rox. It meant 'goodbye, friend.' Then he said, "Gah rod boo." Which meant 'I'll come back for you.'

Pugs was too afraid to move. He just stared back at Rox, the one who he thought was a friend.
