Aztec Zoo

Chapter one: NYC?

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Penguins of Madagascar! But I do own Gazer/Luana!

It started in a dark Aztec temple. Why? Why did she go there? And with a baby of her own tailing her no less! Well it wasn't a lemur THAT she was sure of. It was like a flightless bird of some kind. It was rather fluffy and Brownish grey, the only thing about it that was off in it's coat was that it had a patch of off colored black feathers on it's chest, with a white rain drop on its forehead. Its yellow beak would open to show it happiness, which was another thing, it couldn't or wouldn't talk. And seemed to get up early in the morning to swat at low lying branches. It or…. The lemur sighed, that's right the tribe she lived with had given it, or her, a name and that was….

"LUANA!" when the lemur snapped out of her thoughts it was too late. The humans had her and took her away to who knows where. The lemur stood up clenching her fists and her teeth. But she would find her no matter what!

Mean while in the central park zoo

"Al right men front and center!" Skipper barked to his men, it was late in the day and the older penguin had received some strange news from the chameleons. The team filed out of their respected 'cute and cuddly' stations and stood at attention in front of their captain. Kowalski came first; as soon as skipper spoke he waddled up to the secret entrance pencil and paper in hand. Next came Rico who merely slouched in a relaxed attention. Then came little Private whom came smiling and stood at attention. "I have some bad news fellas it seems we are gaining an addition to the team today!" the team relaxed and looked about excitedly, especially Private who was eager to not be the newbie. "According to the chameleons he was found in the jungles of Mexico wandering about calling out to nobody." At that moment Alice came up to the pen with a little fluff ball in hand. When she entered the Penguins were already in the cute and cuddly formation.

"OK! Now there you go little fella! Now you guys play nice now ok this ones still young!" Alice stated in that sickening baby voice setting down the ball of fluff then walking away. The penguins stared at it. It didn't move or make a sound it just sat there.

"Oh dear! Maybe he's a little frightened?" Private said in his British accent looking around worried.

"Or maybe he needs some stimulation?" Kowalski asked looking just as worried. But it was Rico who approached the lump and poked it. The body started to shake as if it was laughing, and the lump unfurled to reveal a young girl penguin. It looked terrified and curious at the same time. The penguins stared in shock and confusion at the newbie.

"A girl… it's a girl? And a young one no less!" Skipper slapped his flipper to his face in frustration. They had to do so much to get to this point, sooo much. Why? When Skipper looked up, Kowalski had the newbie trying to climb him but only ended up slapping him, and hard. Kowalski yelped the moment the little one hit him. He was now cradling his knee which was red. Rico was pleased but also not to happy with the team hitting, private was over with Kowalski trying to help. Private walked over to the newbie and bent down.

"That is a big no no! We do not hit our friends!" Private said as nicely as he could point a flipper to her. The newbie looked up all teary eyed and opened her mouth to say something then closed her mouth. She waddled over to Kowalski and hugged him sniffing. But she did not whimper much like how no sound came from her when she laughed. Private picked up on this and waddled over t the leader who was deep in thought. "Skippa! I think she's a mute!" Skipper looked over to Kowalski who with Rico was trying to stop her from crying any more.

"Hmmm I think your right private! Good call!" Skipper turned to his team. "Now men what should we…."

"Hello neighbors! We are just going t borrow your TV and leave." King Julian interrupted walking straight past them and to Private, who was standing on top of the entrance to the HQ. Julian pushed Private down off the entrance and continued on his way. The newbie noticed this and looked up to Kowalski with a curious look.

"That is Julian. He is one person who you should avoid." At that moment Julian popped his head up with a disgusted look on his face.

"Ha excuse me! I am king! And…. Uh who are you talking to?" Kowalski was about to answer when Julian raised a finger and said "no do not tell me because if it is a new person then they belong to me so I will tell you who it is!" Julian walked over to the new penguin. Who in return ran behind Kowalski to hide. "Come on little new person, stop running!" Julian yelled as he chased the newbie. But he was stopped by a command.

"Rico! Lethal force needed!" Skipper barked the command as the little penguin ran behind him. Rico stepped out in front of Julian and threw up a flame thrower pointing it at him. Private was up on his feet now and waddled to Rico. Kowalski ran/waddled to the little one to make sure she was not crying again. Skipper stood firmly between Julian and the others with Rico to his right and Private to his left.

"Your majesty! Come now we have to go!" in a matter of seconds Maurice had arrived and withdrawn the king back to their habitat. The newbie poked her head out from behind Kowalski's flipper trying to make sure the meanie was gone.

"Ok now as I was saying as it appears she is mute and is in need of a name… any suggestion?" The team thought hard.

"Nikelo?" was Privates suggestion. Rico's sounded along the lines of Kaboom. Which left only Kowalski, and Skipper.

"Well? Kowalski, do you have an idea?" skipper asked looking at him.

"Um I have two…Kiyo and myrrah…" they others gave him weird looks. "What myrrah sound interesting and kiyo means quiet!" Kowalski said flustered. Skipper shook his head.

"I have nota thing." The newbie clapped. The penguins saw her pointing to a sigh that read, STARGAZERS WANTED!

"I think she wants to be called star?" Private said to skipper but the newbie shook her head and pointed again. "Or wanted?" again she shook her head and pointed again eyes wide.

"Skipper I do believe she wishes to be called gazer." With that the little one nodded vigorously and jumped up and down.

"Very well Gazer it is!" Skipper said rubbing his chin.
