Saturday 7:33pm, one hour thirty three minutes after closing. All the zoo's animals were gathered around the Zoovenir shop, investigating a package sitting on the ground

"What you think is inside?" Burt asked.

"Something of the avian variety, so it appears" Mason says, while he examined the box.

Joey then came hopping down the path that led to the Zoovenir with a crowbar in paw, "Let's pop this thing open and see if might hold something worth a dinky di!"

The Zoo animals stopped jabbering and watched as the marsupial approached the crate. Joey examined the crate, then bent over and stuck the crowbar between two planks. Before Joey could start to pry open the crate, one of the walls was kicked open and within seconds smoke filled the air.

All the animals coughed, they weren't expecting what had just happened. Once the smoke cleared, all the animals could see four figures about ye big stand before the Zoo animals; they were penguins.

"Kowalski Analysis; this is our zoo isn't it?" One penguin asked.

"Indeed it is Skipper," The penguin the other called "Kowalski" confirmed.

The first penguin to speak spoke again, "Then where's the hippy? And the giraffe? And our monochromatic stripped friend? Most importantly who are these people?"

Before Kowalski could answer, an otter with chestnut fur and tawny brown eyes approached them, "Hi, welcome to the Central Park Zoo, My name is Marlene and these—"Skipper yanked her tongue then released. "Thank you." Skipper marked.

"Um, did you say this was the Central Park Zoo," a younger, smaller penguin asked sheepishly.

"She sure did you silly, billy penguin you!" Someone announced. Out of the crowd waltzed a familiar face with his two poor subjects; Mort and Maurice, following behind.

"Ringtail," Skipper shouted. "Help me out, what's going on here?"

"I'm sorry my flightless friend, but you must getting me all confuseed with someone else. I am King Julien, and these are my loyal subjects," He proclaimed, gesturing to the zoo animals.

"Don't play games with me Ringtail, don't you remember us? From Madagascar, Africa, Monti Carlo?"

Julien leaned to one of his loyal subjects; Maurice and whispered. "The flat headed stinky bird seems a little woo-hoo in the head if you know what I mean."

"HEY! I am right here you know," he yelled.

All the animals stared at the guys as if they were crazy. They had never seen them before yet they claimed this was their home. Or so it seemed as if they at least knew the place. Skipper cleared his throat, "Huddle up men!" he shouted.

"Alright so what is the situation Kowalski?" Skipper asked.

"No idea. All the animals don't seem to recognize us and we don't recognize them either. They claim this is the Central Park zoo, but how can we be sure?"

The last penguin; Rico, grunted out some gibberish.

"Yeah I guess we could just check the front to see if it really is the zoo, good job Rico."

"Move out Men," Skipper demanded.

The penguins slid away from the animals and towards the Zoo's entrance.

The animals waited for the Penguins to turn the corner, then they all broke out into laughter. They all laughed and gasped for air in between long periods of hilarity. Julien was first to speak, "Did you see the bossy penguin, they think they are spies or something that's adorable." The animals kept wheezing due to shortness of breath. Marlene was crying, "Who did they think they are, that tall guy was a total geek!" The crowd roared into more and more merriment. "Oh those little birdies are a piece of work isn't they?" Bada said wiping a tear.

Skipper and the boys arrived at the zoo entrance and looked up towards the clock tower, in fine print a banner read, "THE CENTRAL PARK ZOO."

"Well boys there is only one explanation for this," Skipper paused.

"Alternate Universe," Kowalski finished.

"Alternate Universe." Skipper confirmed.

"Wait What? How can you tell?" Private questioned.

"Ah young, naïve Private. Isn't it obvious no one recognizes us, WE don't recognize anyone here and look at the zoo, it isn't even the same layout." Skipper wisely responded

"But isn't that a little illogical?" Private continued.

"You know what Private, I'll humor you." Skipper said.

"Really," Private bellowed, he was surprised his leader would once listen to him.

"Nope, Alternate Universe," Skipper confirmed.

"Alternate Universe," Kowalski and Rico echoed.

"Alternate Universe." Private pouted.

"That's the spirit." Skipper hailed. "Now let's get back to our universe." Skipper grinned at the thought of an adventure. Oh, how this one will end.


For those of you who don't completely understand, it is the penguins from the movie arriving in the Alternate Reality of the TV series. I hope you liked it.
