"Mommy, you're staring again." A little duckling commented beside mother duck as she was indeed staring at the the leader penguin who had passed by her habitat carying a microphone moments after the rest of his team had passed by. The penguin had given her a small, yet heavily noticeable wink before passing by as casually as he could. This action combined with his uncharacteristically calm demeanor was enough to make her stare at the handsome penguin, and continue to stare until he turned the corner and left her line of vision.
"Mommy?" The young duckling spoke again with a borderline worried tone to his voice. The mother duck turned her head to face her child and upon doing so realized that most of her ducklings had crowded around her and giving her similar concerned looks. The mother duck immediately laughed awkwardly in a futile attempt todistract the currently unwanted attention of her children.
"Don't worry darlings, mommy's fine. She just saw something that interested her and..."
"Mommy's got a crush on King Julien!" Eggy exclaimed from across the pond where he was currently practicing dance moves that the king himself had taught him during his lesson earlier that day. The other ducklings immediately glared at him and similarly to his idol the young duckling remained oblivious to the glares and immediately ran up to his mother.
"Oh that's great! Then King Julien can be my dad, and we can practise dancing everyday and...Ahh what are you doing!" Eggy exclaimed as two of the ducklings picked him up and tossed him into the pond, where he immediately forgot his species and started to struggle against the water. Ignoring his cries for help the ducklings immediately went back to interrogating their mother.
"We saw you staring at Skipper." A duckling said to his mother, who appeared to have lost herself in thought after the mention of the penguin's name. A duckling then started snapping his imaginary fingers in front of his mom's face in a futile attempt to get her to, pardon the pun, snap out of it.
"She's got it bad." One of the hatchlings said with a sigh that was received with nods by the other hatchmate.
"I know it's crushing to know that the great King Julien won't be our new dad, but could somebody snap out of their depression and help me!" Eggy shouted from the pond where he was currently 'drowning'. His siblings looked at eachother before sighing and waddling off to help their brother.
