This here is my attempt of acting out the movie 'Madagascar' with the characters of Fairy Tail. I've already decided who shall fit into what role and will proceed as I find the time too. I don't own Madagascar or Fairy Tail but I do believe I have the right to combine them into this parody fanfic. Read and do tell me what you think afterward if you would be willing to do so. Thanks for taking your time to read this fanfic.
The sky is painted orange by the rising sun that shines over a green meadow with a wall of palm trees on both sides, creating a very nice view as the air is filled with the singing of a choir. Swinging past the view on a very long vine is a young woman giving off a excited cry as she does so.
The swinger in question was Lucy, a girl with blonde hair and brown eyes wearing a bodysuit with long sleeves and long legs that was black and white striped, leaving her hands, feet, and head free. Along with some long ears on her head and a tail coming from her back she was easily recognized as a zebra by anyone that saw her.
She lets go of the vine and falls gracefully behind a choir of singing penguins that scatter and fly away as she runs past them on bare feet, running over the healthy green grass and heading right for a large chasm in front of her. As she reaches the edge she releases a powerful jump that allows her to cross the chasm with ease, doing spins and rolls in the air as she lands gracefully once more on the other side before continuing her run, the sound of the choir still going.
As she runs with a smile on her face she doesn't notice a young man appearing from a bush she just passed by. This was Natsu, a young man with pink spiky hair that grew around his head like a lion's mane and had black eyes eying Lucy with his own grin as he rubbed his hands together. He was dress in brown pants that had a tail coming out of the back and a brown scarf while also having some short ears on his head, being recognized as a lion with no trouble.
In the distance there is a large, clear lake in view which Lucy is running toward while Natsu following her, tiptoeing to keep himself unnoticed while also catching up with Lucy's sprint. He moves in closer and closer getting to where there was only inches between the two. Lucy however is too focused on the lake in front of her to notice the danger behind her and doesn't expect what happens next.
Natsu suddenly pops up in front of her with arms raised. "Surprise!" he shouts.
"Aaaahhhhhh!" was Lucy response as she screams from getting surprised, tripping on the treadmill she was running on which then throws her off and sends her rolling backward till she crashes into the edge of her pen. In reality both of them were in the Grand Central Zoo in the City of New York as animals on display. Lucy rubs her head and grumbles a bit as she stands up, glaring at Natsu as she walks back to her treadmill which the said lion was in front of.
"Natsu! I've told you many times not to interrupt me when I'm daydreaming! When a zebras in the zone, you leave her alone remember?" she steps back onto her treadmill and points past Natsu toward a mural on the wall that depicted the place she was imagining before while she was jogging. Natsu looks toward it for a moment before turning back to her with a grin, leaning on her treadmill.
"Come on Lucy! I just wanted to stop by to wish you a happy birthday!" he replies with a chuckle.
Lucy lightens up from hearing that, breaking out into a smile herself. She had already forgotten about the irritation caused just moments ago. "Well thank you Natsu."
Natsu nods before holding onto his jaw, acting like he had a toothache and being a bit dramatic at it as well. "Ow! Oh! Hey Lucy, I think I got something caught in my teeth. It's been driving me nuts all morning. Think you can help me out please?"
Lucy gives a nod, grinning . "You've come to the right place then my friend! Dr. Lucy, DDS, is in the house and ready to assist. Have a seat on my sterilized examination table right here if you will." she motions to a portion of the pen fence that was a flat concrete surface which Natsu hops onto. She then starts to examine his mouth from the outside before opening it to look inside of it, but unable to find anything. "Hm, I don't see anything Natsu."
"It's on the left way in the back." Natsu speaks while his mouth is opened wide with Lucy sticking her head into it for a better look.
"Ah!" Lucy pulls her head back out and wipes her face clean of Natsu's saliva from when his tongue licked her during his speaking.
"Heh, Sorry." Natsu chuckles while Lucy just smiles back a him.
"Just don't talk with your mouth full okay? Now say 'ah'." she sticks her head back into his mouth and spots what she was looking for. "Aha! There it is!" she reaches in with her hand after removing her head and pulls out a snow globe with a red bow on top of it. "What the heck? What is this doing in there?" she asks with amusement.
"Happy Birthday Lucy!" Natsu stands up with open arms.
Lucy chuckles. "Thanks a lot! Wow, you managed to hid this behind your teeth? That's amazing! Heh, you're a good friend!"
"The best part is these aren't even on the shelf yet! Come on! Shake it and look inside! Look at it." Natsu tells her to do it though he's already grabbing the snow globe and shaking it for her. Lucy looks at it closely, seeing a mini New York city inside with a figurine of Natsu in the front of it in his signature pose, standing on a pedestal with his name on it in bold letters.
"Well would you look at that. It's really snowing." she moves it aside and sees Natsu in his signature pose on the fence.
"So you're finally 10 years old now aren't you. A whole decade! Double digits! The big 1-0!" He makes the number with his hands for better emphasis but takes notice of Lucy starting to look a bit down which concerns him. "Hey Lucy, what's wrong? You don't like the gift?"
Lucy immediately shakes her head, not wanting to make Natsu feel bad. "What? No, of course not, the gift is fine."
"Aw, you hate it! Darn it, I should've gotten the Natsu alarm clock! Those are the real big sellers." Natsu sighs, feeling disappointed as he rubs his head and sits back down.
"No no, the present is fine. I really do like it." Lucy reassures him while putting the snow globe in a pile of other souvenir items that all had Natsu on them. It was reasonable with him being the most popular animal in the zoo that a lot of the souvenir items featured him as the main icon.
"The thing is yet another year has come and gone and I'm still doing the same thing I've always been doing. Nothing's changed at all." Lucy explains herself while moving around in her pen. "Stand over here, jog over there, eat some of this grass, stand back over here again. It's always the same."
Natsu nods, understanding what Lucy was saying. "I see what you mean. You know what you need to do Lucy?"
"I'm thinking I should try going to law school, that sounds like a fulfilling career." Lucy looks deep in thought while responding to Natsu.
"No, all you need to do is break out of this same old routine you've been following all this time." Natsu gave his solution, standing back up on the fence.
"What? How am I supposed to do that?" Lucy seemed confused on the subject they're talking about.
"Drop your usual act. Do something no one would expect you to do. Make up up as you go along. Improvise, Be wild, Unpredictable!" Natsu danced around and went into many weird positions to prove that point.
"Really? That's what I should do?" Lucy asks.
"Of course." Natsu leaps down into Lucy's pen. "Be fresh!"
"Be fresh... I think I can try that." Lucy nods, smiling while finding it a reasonable idea.
"Good. It works me too." Natsu grins back.
Meanwhile at the front of the zoo the clock over the gate hits 9 A.M. at which a couple of mechanical monkeys start to whack the bell like a gong to signal the zoo is opening for the general public. It was now time for show to get started!
The first chapter will end at this point. One thing to bring up is that I planned for all the characters to be dressed up as what they represent while still being human, kind of like what you see in a play where the actors look human but wear pieces to mimic the animals they're being while still obviously being human. I also did edit the dialogue to make it a bit more original while remaining true to the actual script hence the differences. Thanks for taking the time to read this and the next chapter shall be up soon.
