The Strange Figure
One day on one of the many adventures of the zoo gang, they were going to do a show but they were delayed. The reason was that they had to wait on yet another promoter to view their act. Alex was bored and he didn't get enough sleep so he was pretty tired. He was so tired that he almost fell over while falling asleep standing up. Luckily Gia was there to catch him. " Alex did you have a good nights rest last night?" She asked. It was 7:30 and the promoter was to get there around 8:00 to 8:30. " Well I *Yawn* I was about to *Yawn* when i heard something outside your car door, so i went to investigate.*Yawn* Look i am really tired can i please go to bed now?" Gia was very interested in the story. " No please keep story telling." She sat down along with Alex.'' Ok, so i guess i will finish the story.." Alex said giving in to his girlfriend. Then more animals came around to listen to the story. Marty, Stefano, Gloria, Melman, and even Vitaly were around to listen to the story." Well I went to investigate and i saw something white like some apparition. It was so late at night that i thought i was Imagining things. *Yawn* As curios as I am I followed the white glowing thingy. I trailed to far from the train and then something hit me on my back i have yet to find out what it was but it made me very sleepy and...and...'' Alex started to fall asleep. Gia playfully flicked Alex on his nose. Then he woke up.'' Wha-? '' Alex said as he opened his eyes. ''Well what happened?'' Gia asked. ''Ya, what happens next?'' Vitaly asked. Even he was eager

to know the rest. '' I woke up in your train car, Gia.
I didn't know what i saw but i creeped me out and since i saw it outside your car I stayed up the rest of the night to make sure you would be ok the next day.'' Gia giggled a bit. '' Is that it? Is that why you didn't get enough sleep last night?'' Gia asked a little disappointed. '' Ya, that's it. Nothing else. '' Alex was REALLY tired now, all he wanted was a nice little kitty nap. One of the Elephants came in and said '' The promoter is here!'' Everyone jumped up except for Alex. He was to tired to do anything. Everybody got to there places. Gia stopped,'' Alex come on it is time for the show! Get up! '' He was not going to get up, that is until he saw exactly what he described in his story. A white glowing object was behind Gia. No one seemed to notice this besides Alex.( who was also freaking out tremendously.) '' Alex what are you looking at? '' Gia asked. She looked behind her, nothing was there. She looked back to Alex. He was now wide awake and ready for the show. '' I'm ready for the show now! So lets get going before something shows up...'' Alex said looking around and pushing Gia to the Trapeze swings. '' Ok well then lets get going then? ''
Gia now didn't know what was going on but she went along with it. She wanted to thank Alex for staying with her through the night when he didn't need to. So she stopped grabbed Alex and kissed him '' Thank you for last night.'' She said before she ran off. Alex didn't know what to do now but he stopped staring into space and ran after Gia to beat her to the swings. In Alex's mind he was thanking her also...for being there always...
