Sometime before the end of Madagascar 2

Over Africa…

As a mail plane flys above the African savannah the co-pilot was eating a box of valentine chocolates. "Oh that was the best one yet." "Mmm-mmm" the pilot's chair was turned in the opposite direction of the controls holding up a small teddy bear. "you gotta love these Valentine's Day deliveries," the co-pilot said. the pilot was looking thru their deliveries. "Oh," the co-pilot said, "do we have any of those candy hearts with the little messages on them?" "Un, No," the pilot said, "But I've got some fancy pants perfume for you." The pilot then sprays the perfume into the co-pilots face as he screamed. The Plane dipped suddenly as the two pilots started to cough. "Get rid of it!' the co-pilot shouted.

The pilot threw the bottle out of the window and stabilized the plane. The bottle dropped down towards the unexpecting savannah below. [The words Madly Madagascar appear the disappear but nobody seems to notice] Meanwhile on the savannah the lemurs were talking as they rode on flamigoes, "Okay," Maurice said, "what about this one, julien? Roses are red. Violets are green. You are so handsome, you make all the ladies scream." Julian didn't responded as he hung his head and looked forward with a sad expression. "It's no use, Maurice," Julian said in a depressed tone, "I am a king without a kingdom. Where is all the admiration? The fawning? The brown nosing?" Julians tone then turned angry and he shouted, "Is anybody even listening to me up there?"

The perfume bottle fell from above and hit julian on the hit knocking him off his feathered steed. "Oh!" Julian said before looking at the bottle on his head, "what the…" Julian took the bottle off his head and read the label, "Love potion number nine? How does this thing work anyway?" Julian pushed down on the top and sprayed Maurice in the face. "Ow!" Maurice said. Maurice then started to laugh as the flamingos started to tickle him with their beaks. "Stop it, stop it," Maurice said between laughs, "that tickles." Julian read the label again, "Irresistible" while Maurice contiuned to giggle julian looked up towards the sky. With a gasp julian said, "Maurice. Do you see what is happening here?" "Make them stop. Make them stop!" Maurice said. "It is a message from the gods!" Julian shouted climbing up on a rock, "they are looking down from the heavens and saying, 'king julien.'" Julian then rushed to the ground In front of the rock, "and I say, 'ugh, what do you want now?'" Julain got back on the rock, "And they say, 'Sorry to disturb you, all great and most dashing king with all the best dance moves.'" "And I say, 'oh, do you mean like this?" Julian then showed off his dance moves(the robot) to the imaginary gods. Julian hopped back on the rock, "Yes! We love that!"

"So, get on with it. What do you want already?" Julian said continuing the imaginary conversation. "Even though you're all these great things, you deserve more." "Oh, go on." "King Julian, take this potion and from this moment forth you will be known as the king of love." "ah!" "King of love?" Maurice said. "come, Maurice," Julian said, "we have much work to do!" Julian releashed some of the perfume into the air which formed a heart shape in the air. Julian and Maurice then headed towards the preserve.

Kenya wildlife preserve Africa

(Alex's POV)

"Wake up, Africa." I said, "It's Valentine's day!" I gave a valentine to a ostrich and said, "Happy Valentine's Day to you." I then gave one to a rhino(that looked supcisously like roy) and said, "And happy Valentine's Day to you." "Who?" It said. I then pasted some to the birds on his back, "You, You, You, and you." "What's Valentine's Day?" All of Marty's herd asked. I still think it's a little weird that they all sound like marty. "Hold up," Marty said, "Don't tell me you've never heard of…" "The best day of the year! Whoo!" I said.

"Wow," and elephant said, "you're really into this holiday, huh?" Melmen scoffed. "Please," Gloria, "You have no idea." I then flash back to valentine's day in the central park zoo. (This was before our European adventure so bare with me). "We love you, Alex!" A girl said. I was making a snow angel in a sea of valentines, "And I love this holiday!" "Oh, Alex!" I said. Practically the entire reserve looked at us in confusion. Hmmmm, that's odd my mom and dad is nowhere to be seen. "So, What do we do with these?" the elephant asked.

"That's the best part!" I said. "Once you get a Valentine, you get to give one back… Here, I'll start you off. Dear Alex, You're the best. Love you, Ostrich." I took the demostration valentine on a nearby tree, "See, Now I can display it right here on my very own Valentine's tree! Huh? Huh?" A bunch of little deer-things rushed past, "Hey! What's going on?" I said. "King Julien's selling a magical love potion. I want some!" Sirley (I meant Bob… I MEANT BOB!) said. I'm pretty sure Kowalski would say something like, "Magical Love potion? Magic is a scientific inproablity…And Love Potion? Please You not suddenly going to fall in love because you took some magical love potion."

"A love potion?" someone said. "I want some!" "Me, too!" as they dropped their valentines. Hey Valentines is more real then some voodoo magically love potion. And Plus this sounds exactly like one of julians halfbrain "Ideas." (Just a stupid as "Let's throw melmen into a volcano to get water" "Have the New York Gaints deal with the fossa" "It's more fun when you hold you arms up like this!" "Fire flaming rocks at the red night goblin who turned out to be santa" "Let's play videos of planes crashing while we're on a plane" "Let's fly to Africa with the new york gaint's because it our plane." "Let's take credit for somebody else's plan" or my personally favorite "bar mort from the plane because I don't like him").

"wait for me!" "anyone else reminded of the mob shouting sacrifice! Sacrifice!" Melmen said. "I thought they were shouting…Melmen! Melmen! Melmen!" "That's not what I heard," Melmen said, "Plus I was there!" "So was I!" Gloria said. "Hey, hey, hey! Hey, wait up!" I shouted in vain, "Guys, Valentine's tree." "It's not going anywhere," Marty said. "And neither are we, Alex," Gloria said, "Now, Come on, let's go see what that Psychotic lemur's up to now." My Mom and dad walked up to my valentine's tree, "Happy Valentine's day son," Zuba said as he placed a heart on the tree. "Thanks dad!" I said. My mom was walking in the direction of the crowd. "Where are you going woman?" my dad said. "Don't Worry Zuba I'm just going to go pick up some Love potion." "Mom you too?" I said. "See you there!" She shouted. "Magical love potions," My dad said as he walked away shaking his head, "It's probably just a fad."

"eh…okay," Gloria said, "let's go!" "um…" Melmen said, "You know what, you…why don't you…I think you guys could…" Don't worry melmen we all know about the surprise you have for melmen…well except Gloria and everyone else on this preserve. "You guys go ahead. I'll catch up later." "Where is he going?" Gloria said. "um," marty said, "Probably with the penguins working on…" I clamped marty's mouth shut. "Uh, acupuncture appointment?" I said. "Yep, definitely acupuncture. Come on. Gotta go." Whew that was close…

Meanwhile

Air penguin crash site

(Melmen's POV)

I inserted a tape into the penguins cassette player. A float of Gloria pulled by chimps holding a Surprise sign appeared. "Her name is G-L-O-R-I-A. Gloria!" Mason sing while chimps held up signs with letters on them. "Gloria!" the other chimps said. Of course instead of Gloria it read, "GL#!1 !" "No stop. Stop. Stop," I shouted from my directors chair, "Come on, you guys. This is my first Valentine's Day with Gloria. This surprise has to be perfect." The chimps started to chatter hitting each other with the signs. Mason got annoyed and tossed something which casued gloria's head to fall off the float. "I'm fine, I''m fine, Okay. What are you doing!"

(Skipper's POV)

I was holding dollface as I watched melmen drive himself crazy, "Ugh, look at him," I said, "All stressed out and driving everyone crazy." "Skipper, what are you going to get hula girl for valentine's day?" Private said as rico welded something. "Don't ask him that Private," elsa muttered. "Why not?" I scoffed, "Nothing! No hokey knickknacks or cheesy gestures needed here." "There's your answer," Elsa said turning to Private. "isn't that right, dollface?" I asked. I left unaware that she was shaking her head. Private, Rico, and Kowalski looked on in shock, "Drama!" Elsa rolled her eyes, "It's just a doll!"
