Good morning/afternoon/evening/cake o'clock all! Thanks for stopping by to read this story. I shall be posting once in every 2-4 days (except if I am too busy). For those who follow my Tumblr and are waiting for this story, here it is, The Rise of Maxene. It took me 26 days to write this and now it's finally done.
Now just to inform you, this story took place in between Episode 10 of Season 3 (Get off My Lawn) and Episode 11 of Season 3 (Revenge of the Prom) since things that happen here happen before Revenge of the Prom, Eye of the Clover, and also Run For the Border. With that being said, I present to you, chapter one of The Rise of Maxene, The Waterslide Ceremony...
It was another ordinary morning in King Julien's Kingdom of Madagascar, where all the lemurs were doing their own thing, some were picking mangoes after the Annual Mango Blessing Ceremony, Clover is doing her usual morning exercise, Mort is still sleeping in his stump, Horst is, as usual drinking his beverage. Even Karl is having a good time with Chauncey is his new rock garden. As for King Julien, he is also having a good time dancing in the plane with his boombox. But all good things always come to an end, Maurice came into the throne room and called for King Julien.
"Your majesty," Maurice said. "You still have a lot of work to do that you left undone yesterday after the midnight party you made."
"Oh, Momo," King Julien said, still dancing to one of his favourite music. "Those can even wait until next week! Besides, there are more kingly stuff that are more important than that which I haven't done yet! Come on, I still haven't laucnh our new waterslide that was supposed to be done a long time ago." King Julien stated, patting Maurice's head as he turned off his boombox, exiting the throne room heading towards the newly made waterslide which is taller and much bigger than the previous one.
King Julien climbed on top of a small stage in front of where everyone (except for Hector) has gathered.
"Lemurs of Madagascar," King Julien started. "Our kingdom had been a peaceful land since the beginning of it. Besides the occasional fossa attacks and random happenings, we had been living in peace for hundreds, and hundreds, and hundreds, of years."
"Here we go again," Maurice sighed.
"But happiness will never last forever, and one unforgettable day, our waterslide was attacked by the butterflies where everyone were having a good time. And the attack led to the destruction of our ship, the S.S. Pee Pee Pants, and a major destruction of the rest of our kingdom. But today, we are going to celebrate our newly made waterslide, that is even cooler than the one before, and taller too! Built on the site of the destroyed waterslide with a special monument to remember the butterfly war, which injured many of our people, destroyed a lot of our things including Horst's beverage, and also killed our brave hero, Captain Willie."
"But I'm right over here." Willie said raising his hand.
"Willie! You were supposed to be dead!" King Julien exclaimed in surprise. "Nevermind, so without further ado, I hereby launch our new waterslide!"
Everyone cheered as Maurice took out the boombox and started playing some music as they happily went to the waterslide, sliding down and having some fun.
The new waterslide even had a moving staircase operated by the geckos which brought the lemurs up to the top of the slide automatically so they don't have to climb up.
After about an hour, the ceremony ended as most lemurs returned home and King Julien tried to run away from Maurice and went to the Cove of Wonders, looking for new stuff.
"Where's King Julien?" Clover asked Maurice after losing her king as he blend into the crowd.
"I don't know," Maurice said. "Must have gone somewhere, trying to run away from his royal deeds. He's probably spending his time at the Cove of Wonder as usual. It's alright, I'll do all the things he left yesterday."
"It's not that!" Clover said. "He's not supposed to wander about by himself. Especially the Cove of Wonders, where Karl knows he loves to spend his time at. I'll go for him." With that being said, Clover jumped away from tree to tree looking for her king.
Although the waterslide ceremony has ended, there were still many people having some fun at the waterslide, not knowing that the structure of the new waterslide isn't as good as the old one, and isn't as stable too due to its height.
Maurice left the scene and launched the new mango storage huts on behalf of King Julien, settle some pineapple problems, and making sure that the kingdom is running well.
Mort felt bored partying without King Julien, so he went away looking for something to do. And while walking around the kingdom, he eventually met Becca and Abner who were collecting some pok poks from their tree outside.
"Hey Mort!" Becca greeted from the top of their tree.
"Oh hey! How is it going?" Mort said waving his hand at the two.
"We're collecting some pok pok berries here." Abner answered. "Come on up and help us, and you can have some too. These delicious bite sized fruits are in fact too much for us to eat." He said, eating one of them.
And so up came Mort, to help the two. But just as he reached the top of the tree where Becca and Abner were standing at the three of them heard a loud growl from behind the trees of the forest.
"What is that!?" Becca said surprised, preparing to run away.
The growl grew louder, and louder until the mysterious growler is revealed.
"Fossa!" Mort shouted pointing at the three fossas.
"Evasive maneuvers!" Abner said as the three ran back to the kingdom where havoc wrecked.
Back at the waterslide which is a bit far from the main square of the kingdom, everyone was still having fun, though some of them left because they had other things to do, but more of them came there later. Horst was ready to try and slide down the waterslide while drinking his beverage when one of the mangoes from the tree fell onto the ground, bouncing towards the waterslide as it hit one of the main but unsteady stilts that hold the giant plank of the slide where everyone queued. Although a mango looks small, but because of that one mango, the whole waterslide shook and the waterslide began to collapse. As it collapsed, everyone fell from the slide into the water below, most of them trapped inside the wooden planks and pipes.
At this time, the fossas arrived at where the waterslide sits, trapping all the lemurs inside and outside the waterslide.
"We're all gonna die!"
So that's a total of 1070 words I think. Thanks for reading, chapter 2 should be released in a few more days :) Have a nice day all!
