Just a little note from the great Cowtails herself, I'm new here and this is my first story! This is based on a dream I had, and it's a four part story. It contains my four OCs for the Penguins of Madagascar. I kind of switch obsessions a lot, so I mostly write them for PoM, Harry Potter, or Rise of the Guardians. I kept these stories on a notes app on my nook for a couple years, working on them every day. I have about 35 stories on that app so I finally decided to write them. Enjoy!

Chapter One

The Meeting

Tyler POV

I should probably tell you a little bit about myself right? I'm thirteen, I have long brown hair and glasses, and I am so not girly! I always have my hair in a ponytail and I never wear pink. The only girly thing about me is that I dance. I also play volleyball. I'm really tough. I'm like the leader because I'm the toughest and I can take charge. (does this ring a bell?) My best friends and I live in Arkansas but we are all on a trip to New York with our families. We all LOVE the Penguins of Madagascar. My buds are Wilma, Rocky, and Leah.

Wilma has short, brown curly hair and braces. She has glasses, and she's really nerdy but also really smart. Whenever we get into trouble she always can give us options on what to do (sound familiar?). She doesn't play any sports but she reads a lot.

Rocky has short brown hair and she is kind of like a mix between me and Leah. She isn't super tough like me but not super girly like Leah. She plays volleyball with me and she loves explosions and loud music, although she doesn't sing. (see what I'm getting at?)

Leah has short, dark brown hair and she is pretty girly. She is a bit short and skinny like me. She plays volleyball with me and Rocky. She loves girly stuff and she's not very tough. (get it now?)

We all really like PoM and we even have crushes. We find it so funny that we are just like them as a group, and we are each individually like the character we have a crush on. I'm like Skipper, the toughest and the leader, so I like him. Wilma is like Kowalski, nerdy, smart, and second in command. Rocky is obviously like Rico, she loves explosions( and him!). Leah is like Private, you can tell, the weakest, girliest and smallest.

We all are the best of friends and we are all unique like I described, but the thing that really unites us is how crazy we are! We are absolutely nuts. We even have special BFF bracelets Rocky made by cutting the sleeves of her flannel Angry Birds pajamas into bracelets. We also have crazy nicknames for each other. I am Demented Salamander, they call me Salamander, or Ty, or Tyler if the time is not to be silly. Wilma is Anorexic Walrus, called Walrus, or Willy if it's not silly time. She doesn't like her name, Wilma. Leah is Loco Dodo (Dodo) or just Leah. Rocky was supposed to be Rainbow Turtle, but long story short, we end up calling her Grassy, or (only if we are being dead serious) Rocky. Call her Roquel and she'll break your neck.

Anyway, we were all in Central Park Zoo, wandering around and being silly. It was almost closing time and we were the only ones left in the zoo. We walked over to the penguins habitat. Rocky and I were talking about the song Thrift Shop. Leah went first, "Bah dah, bah dah, bah dah doo bah!" Wilma did the saxophone parts and Rocky did the beatboxing. I sang the words, without cussing of course. "I'm gonna pop some tags, only got twenty dollars in my pocket, I-I'm huntin, looking for a come-up, this is flipping awesome!" We sounded pretty good.

We leaned against the rail and laughed. I looked at the penguins and they were all looking at us. "Guys, you know what would be really funny? Is if these were the penguins from the show. And those lemurs over there were Julian, Mort and Maurice. And Dr. Blowhole was real." They nodded and I leaned on the rail, smiling dreamily. "I wish Skipper was real..." They laughed. "You like that cartoon more than you like the actual boys from this world!"Rocky laughed. I blushed. "I could say the same about you with Rico! Or you, Willy, with Kowalski! Or you with Private, Leah!" They all blushed and shut up. I smiled triumphantly.

I glanced back at the penguins and noticed the one that looked like Skipper REALLY looked like Skipper now...he was giving me a suspicious stare, as were the rest of them. I gulped. "Uh, guys? Does anyone else think these actually are the penguins off the show? Because they really look like it." Rocky looked at them. "Have you gone more crazy than you already are? They are normal penguins. It's just a cartoon. Come on, it's time to leave." I leaned against the rail. "You guys go ahead, I have to go to the bathroom first." Once they disappeared around the corner, I turned back to the habitat to see the penguins were gone. My eyes widened in alarm and when I swung my head around to look for them, I felt a slap on my neck and everything went black.
