Hey everybody me and my sis have been working on this story for a little bit and I really like it so don't diss our story ok? Ok. If you like our story please say so and I will be happy I will either way keep doing this so whatever I think this story is…………………………dare I say it…..Crack-a-lackin!

Ok, before we start, you should know that Melman Minklewitz is the Giraffe, Gloria is the Hippo, Alex is the Lion, and Marty is the Zebra, all other animals will be introduced later on…

The Mating Game

Chapter 1:Petunia

Our animal friends were having YET AGAIN another fine party with the lemurs (it was King Julian's B-day, and how could the lemurs NOT have a party for that occasion?) just as they started to sing "We like to move it"…. The PEOPLE CAME! (bum bum bum!) The lemurs all climbed up into the tree…. And were safe… Alex, Gloria, Marty, Melman, and the four psychotic penguins were not so lucky. The penguins were to sore from their sunburns to climb up any tree and the other four animals were too big. It was because of this that a week later, the animals found themselves once again in their old cages in the Central Park Zoo, in the middle of good old New York City.

It is here that our story begins. The animals had been upset because they wanted to go back to Madagascar. Unfortunately, the zookeepers thought they were upset for another reason. So when Melman woke up one morning, he found a very pretty female giraffe in the cage outside of his house. Melman was a little bit drowsy and took this for a dream. The female then opened one eye and said: "Hi, I'm Petunia." Melman woke right up saying "I'M ALLERGIC TO PETUNIAS!"

At this point, Melman was running around his cage maniacly and Petunia was chasing him saying, "Wait! Wait! Calm down! Stop! OH MY GOSH DON"T YOU EVER GET TIRED!" At that moment, Melman got his foot stuck into an old, empty, dirty, Alex cup… he started freaking out… "AAAAAAAH! GET IT OFF GET IT OFF! THE FILTH IS TOUCHING ME AAAAAAAAAAAH!" Surprisingly, Petunia had the EXACT SAME REACTION! Then, the zookeeper came and to Melman and Petunia's relief, took it off and called the "disinfectant team".

After the cleaning crew left, Marty came up, yawning to Melman's cage. "Man, you dang woke me up again, what the hey is wrong wit' you?" Gloria walked over, too, and talking to Petunia said, "Okay, who are you and what are you doing in my friend's cage?" Petunia replied, "Well, I honestly don't know. I was just whipped up from the Kenya wild life preserve. They shot me with some unsanitized dart and next, I found myself over in this place waking up to this guy." And directing to Melman said, "I don't believe you told me your name." "Melman. My name is Melman."

Ok, this is my first story on so BE NICE and no flames, they hurt…. Either way, the first person to guess which species is next and what their name is will be put into a chapter. (I have to tell you though, It is not a big part) Good luck:)
