It's me again! I hope you enjoyed Button's first word. I thought that since Buttons would have the most trouble talking, he should have a story dedicated to his first word.
Anyway, if anyone's read my profile, I've included a brief description of my own characters. That's mainly the kids. Peanut's description says he's best friends with Eggy and Marshal. This story is how that friendship began.
ENJOY!
I don't own the penguins of Madagascar! I wish I did, but I don't. : (
"Play date time!" Private said to Marshal, Elli, Athena, and Buttons at the H.Q.
"Dad?" Athena asked looking up at kowalksi.
"Yes sweetheart" Kowalski said.
"Why do we have a play date every third Wednesday of the month?" she asked. Her brown eyes filled with suspicion. She liked going over to Julien's, but she noticed it's always been the same date.
"Nothing exciting, it's just an annual zoovineer meeting." Private answered before Kowalski could.
"Private!" Skipper yelled. "now they're going to-"
"Can we come?" they asked.
"No" Skipper said sternly. "That's why we weren't going to tell you." He gave Private a small look.
Private shrugged. "Sorry Skippa. I didn't know it was a secret." He said a little embarrassed.
"Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase!" Marshal said.
Skipper sighed. "I don't think you'd find it fun. We only discuss business around the zoo."
"Oh, so you bore me with the Manfredy and Johnson stories, but I can't go to a meeting?" Marshal said.
"Hey! Those Manfredy and Johnson stories will help you out in training solider." Skipper said.
"How does knowing there's flying Piranhas in some country I've never heard of help me out at all?" Marshal asked.
Skipper slapped his head. "Maybe I should vote to add a school." He whispered.
"Really? A school! That would be fascinating!" Athena said clapping her little flippers together.
"I already don't like where this is going." Marshal said. He hated anything educational.
"Come on. The meeting starts at 22:00 hours and it's already 21:55" Skipper said pushing the kids out the door with his team following behind.
At the lemur habitat. . . . .
"So it's a Meeting." Maurisa said after Marshal and the others explained the story.
"Yeah, but its grownups only." Marshal said angrily.
Peanut smiled. "You're not thinking what I'm thinking are you?"
"Uh-oh" Buttons said noticing Marshal smiling too.
"If you're thinking of sneaking in the meeting, then yes I am." Marshal said. Peanut and Eggy were his best friends.
Peanut turned towards Eggy. "You want to come with?"
Eggy smiled. "Sure"
"No you're not!" Athena said. "You'll get in trouble."
Buttons nodded.
"Maybe you shouldn't go Marshal." Elli said trying to convince him. "Our dad's said it wasn't that exciting."
"That's what" Lilly started.
"Our mom" Nellie said.
"Said" Lucky said.
"Too" Eggy finished.
Everyone stared at them.
"It's a brother-sister thing" They all said at the same time.
"Anyway you shouldn't go." Maurisa said with a hint of a Madagascar accent in her voice.
"I think Maurisa's right." Prince J.J. said. Unlike Maurisa, he had a heavy Madagascar accent in his voice.
"You're all just a bunch of goodey goodeys." Marshal teased.
"Goodey Goodeys!" they all repeated.
"You know what? Go ahead, get grounded." Maurisa said with a smile waving her hands towards the wall.
"Okay then. Anyone else?" Eggy asked.
No one said anything.
"Bye bye then." Marshal said with a wave before heading jumping over the wall with Peanut and Eggy next to him.
It was silent for a moment.
"Think they'll make it back?" Lilly asked casually.
"Probably not, Marshal's dad is always a step ahead." Athena said shaking her head sadly knowing there's a 98.7% chance he'll get caught.
"Poor guys" Lilly said.
Heading to the meeting. . . . .
"According to this map" Peanut said pointing at a large map of the zoo. "The zoovenier shop is past the first habitat to our left. We sneak through, listen to the meeting, and leave before anyone notices."
"Good job Peanut" Eggy said giving him a high five.
"There's the habitat!" Marshal said pointing to a brick wall.
The three friends popped their heads over the wall and saw none other than Joey the kangaroo sleeping on a rock.
"Of course" Marshal said with a sigh. "He just had to skip this meeting."
"Actually, I heard he was banned for beating up someone." Eggy said with a little fear in his voice. "So who's first?"
None of them volunteered. Who would?
"We're going to have to distract him, but how?" Marshal asked trying to get an idea.
Peanut smiled. "I've got an idea."
A few minutes later. . . . . .
"Thanks again for the help." Peanut said to three chameleons in front of him. The plan was hide behind the chameleons to sneak across the kangaroo habitat without getting pummeled by Joey's fist.
The chameleons only blinked.
"I'll take that as an okay." Marshal said.
Marshal, Peanut, Eggy, and the chameleons made their way over the brick wall. As soon as they hit the ground, the chameleons quickly blended in with their background.
They were walking past the sleeping kangaroo, when they heard a voice call out from the outside walls.
"Ooooh Marshal!" a thick accented voice called out. They immediately recognized it as Prince J.J.'s. "I saw you, Eggy, and Marshal go into Joey's pen. Are you being alright?"
"Oh" Marshal started.
"Come" Peanut said.
"On" Eggy finished. "Hey, now we're doing the brother-sister thing!"
Joey heard Prince J.J and began looking around his habitat. "Where are you, ya little blokes?" He asked as his eyes looked for his future victim.
The chameleons got frightened and ran away. Leaving the kid behind.
"You're so not getting those flies!" Peanut yelled at the fleeing reptiles.
"So there you blokes are." A Australian accented voice said behind him.
The kids stiffened and turned around to see Joey.
"We're dead blokes." Eggy whispered to the others.
"Hurry, into his pouch!" Marshal yelled pointing at his belly.
Even thought it was stupid, they obeyed his orders, probably from fear. The boys then lunged for his stomach and hid inside.
"Why are we doing this?" Eggy asked pushing his little wings through the warm hair that surrounded them
"I'd rather go with the chameleons and run away." Peanut said frightened. "I hope Joey doesn't mind I made an accident in his body!"
"I panicked. And Manfridy and Johnson didn't run away, so we won't either." Marshal said surrounded by light brown fur.
"Who?" the boys asked.
"Some people who used to be on my dad's team." Marshal explained.
"Well they're stupid!" Peanut yelled.
"Were stupid is more like it." Marshal said.
"And you went with their advice?" Eggy asked. "Don't bother explaining them to us, cause we'll be personally meeting them in a few minutes."
"Okay, we jump out when he jumps near a wall." Marshal said. "Okay?"
"Okay" Peanut said.
Eggy just nodded.
"Get out you dunder heads! I'm notcha mum!" They heard Joey say. They also heard the thumping of his big kangaroo feet pounding the ground beneath them, the ground that the boys would do anything to be on at the moment.
Eggy popped his head out of the top of Joey's belly.
"Hey, He's coming up to a wall!" Eggy said waving his little wing toward him.
Marshal and Peanut stuck their heads out as well.
"Here goes nothing!" Peanut yelled before leaping out of Joey's pouch and towards the wall.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" They all yelled as the lunged for the brick covered barrier.
The three landed on the top.
"We did it!" they yelled high fiving one another.
Marshal was going to turn back and gloat, but saw something else.
"two hairy fists at 6:00" Marshal said.
"huh?" Peanut and Eggy said turning around, but were punched as soon as they did.
"Oof!" Peanut yelled when Joey swung at him.
Next thing he knew they were flying through the air.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" they yelled as they went higher and higher then headed down for the concrete below.
Peanut landed first. "Oh my head." He said rubbing his light brown fur on the top of his head. He looked up towards the sky. "Ah!" he said as Marshal landed on top of him.
"Sorry Peanut." Marshal said getting off of the otter.
"It's okay. Where's Eggy?" he asked standing up on his sore legs.
Marshal shrugged.
Just then Eggy, who had apparently flown, landed in front of them.
"Showoff" Marshal and Peanut said as Eggy touched his little feet on the pavement.
"You're just jealous" he teased. He looked around and smiled. "We're here!"
Peanut and Marshal turned around and saw the zoovinier building. They could see the outline of a monkey. Probably Phil or Mason.
"Finaly!" Marshal said shotting his flippers in the air.
They each snuck to the door.
"Can you hear anything?" Eggy asked.
"Shhhh" Peanut said putting his finger up to his mouth.
"And to conclude this meeting….." They heard Skipper say.
Inside the meeting. . . . . .
"And to conclude this meeting…." Skipper said looking at the other animals while he headed towards the door that Marshal, Peanut, and Eggy were at. He opened the door and the three tumbled inside. "You're busted."
The three stared at Skipper with their mouths open.
"How'd you know?" Marshal asked wondering if his dad really had mind reading powers.
"One, I knew you'd do something like this to get into the meeting." Skipper started. Then, he chuckled. "Two, I think the whole state of New York heard your screaming."
The boys looked down sad and embarrassed that their mission failed.
An angry looking Marlene and Mother Duck came up to the three.
"So how was the meeting?" Peanut said casualy.
Their parents glared at them.
"I'm grounded aren't I?" Marshal said looking up at Skipper.
"Affirmative" Skipper said. "All of you are."
"Aw man!" the kids yelled.
One good thing came out of that night. It may have been the end of T.V. and playing for a while, but it was the begging of a long beautiful friendship.
How'd you like it? Please Comment! I didn't have a lot of comments on my last story, so I was hoping this would be better. I need to know if it's good or could use some work. Don't be scared to point out a few things to me. Remember I'm new here!
Bye!!!!!
