The Central Park Zoo

10:00 A.M Eastern Standard Time

(Skipper's POV)

Kowalski was following alice with a pair of binculors, "Skipper Alice is transporting some crates across the zoo. "is it time for the gorillas plantain shipment already?" I said. "That's next week," Kowalski replied, "also the crates design is common amoung animal transport crates." "so new zoo residents," I said. "can we go meet the new neighbors," Private said. "Once we have confirmation of the species," I replied. "Yo alice? You have the peacocks?" zookeeper Maurice said. "Yes one peacock and one peahen," Zookeeper alice snapped, "is the habitat ready?" "Peacocks?" I said, "like we want to deal with more of them."

"Just because lord shen is bad doesn't mean all peacocks are bad," Kowalski said. "skipper what they turn out to be nice and…we will never know," Private said. "Alright," I said, "let's go met our new neighbors…but Private if they do turn about to be evil…" "…wait me to set up the court?" Kowalski said. "not yet," I said, "let's see if's private is right." "Kowalski where is the new peacock exhibit?" I said. "The New Central Park Zoo Aviary," Kowalski said. "Now there's an aviary?" I said. "You should see the new 4D experience," Private said. "that's nice," I said. "Hey guys," Marlene said. "Marlene?" I said. "I was just dropping by before I head off to greet the new neighbors." "That's funny," I said, "we were just about to do the exact same thing." "that was private's idea wasn't it," Marlene said. "what it a good idea," I said, "In fact…why don't we all head over to the new aviary…" "can I come?" Julian said. "Ringtail?" I said, "why would we let you come." "Come on!" Julian said, "I just wanted to get some peacock feathers for my crown…it's getting a little dull."

"Fine," I said, "maybe if you ask nicely they give you a feather or two." "now is it peafowl or peacock?" Julian said, "I just want to make sure." "Well peacock is the term for male peafowl and peahen is the term for female peafowls," Kowalski said. "Fine! Okay! We're play triva tonight," I said. "finally," Kowalski said. "good," Julian said, "Maurice! Get me my peacock welcoming speech!" "Here you go," Maurice said. "what about me?" Mort said. "Go the Mort! Defend our mangoes!" "I am vicious! Rawr!" Mort shouted as he ran off.

Shortly…The Central Park zoo Aviary

Peafowl habitat

We entered a room that was a little humid but it was surprisely well lit. "That would be the skylights," Kowalski said. "Okay," I said as we arrived in front of the empty crates that once held the new residents. "The zookeepers didn't take the crates out," Kowalski said, "what did they all go on lunch break?" "well that's good news for us," I said. "where are they?" Julian said, "I spent all night writing this thing!" "then you can wait some more," I said. "Um…" a voice said, "who's there!" "don't worry cilivans we mean you know harm," I said. a peacock couple came out of the brush. "I King Julian the 13th…" "shut it," the male peacocks said, "you just another tourist trap that zoo put up to get new visitors." "BURN," Kowalski said. "how daring of you!" "besides this country is a demogracy." "Maurice I thought you told me that was a fad!" Julian shouted. "apparently not," Maurice said, "also…he told you." "Not you too maurice!" Julian said, "The King is leaving with his dignity intact." "What dignity…" "I am not losing my dignity again!" Julian shouted as he left crying.

"Finally…the annoying lemur met his match," I replied. "so I'm Private," Private said, "and this is Kowalski, Rico, Skipper, and Marlene…and the lemurs are." "Loud and annoying," the female replied. "so what are you names?" Private said. "let me guess Shen and Shenette," I said. "No," the male peacock said, "my name is martin and this is my wife…elizabeth." "well…um…" Marlene said, "welcome to the zoo." "Ah! Lord Shen is attacking!" burt shouted. "Quiet you overgrown mammal…the yelling is really annoying. "We'll be right back," I said. Rico hacked up a smoke bomb and we rushed out of the new aviary. "so the rumors are true Central Park Zoo does have it's own elite penguin strikeforce," martin replied. "You get used to it…the midnight raids…the randomly entering anyone habitat...WITHOUT KNOCKING!" "SUCH pleasantries WILL ONLY SLOW US DOWN!" Kowalski shouted. "But without them new york…no the world would have been destroyed several times over…" "by the way," Elizabeth said, "I have to ask are you skipper's girlfriend." "No we're just friends," Marlene said, "plus skipper hates all the skilene shipping…" "You even have a ship name," Elizabeth said. marlene blushed at this comment.

Meanwhile we were face to face with Lord Shen. "What do you want this time Shen," I replied. "everything," Shen replied. "that doesn't actually answer the question," Kowalski said. "I have no time for this," Shen replied, "what I do have time for…" The largest cannon we ever seen was rolled up behind Shen. "What is that." "The big one," Shen replied taking a step aside, "Fire!" "But sir the gaint cannonballs are heavy," a gorilla said. "WHAT!" Shen said, "okay…wolves load the cannon!" "Um…" a wolf said. Shen leveled his lance at the nearest gorrila's face, "I have planned this battle for a very long time," Shen said, "now load that cannon!"

It took four gorillas to load up the massive cannonball into the massive cannon. "Goodbye," Shen said, "Fire The Big One!" the big one fired but the gaint cannonball didn't make it very far. "WHAT!" Shen shouted, "What part of 10 tons of gunpowder do you not understand!" "we couldn't find 10 tons of gunpowder." "They why did you tell me you did!" Shen shouted. "we were just saying what you wanted to hear." Shen nodded at the nearest gorilla who then dropped kick the wolf out of the zoo. "anyway…where was I," Shen said looking at the massive hole that was now in the aviary… "Didn't your parents tell you to stay away from explosives and cannons," Martin said, "You could put an eye out with that thing!" "Do I know you?" Shen said, "their's something familiarly irrating about you…in fact you reminded me of my father." "really?" he said. "That wasn't a compliment…" Shen said.

"oh…" he said looking more hurt then he should be. "Can't we have on normal day where we're not getting attacked!" Marlene said, "I liked this place better when it wasn't being attacked all the time!" "So do I," I replied, "so do I." "good thing for you I brought extra cannons!" Four normal sized cannons were placed in front of the big one. "Fire!" Shen shouted. "we forgot the gunpower and the normal sized cannonballs," a wolf said. "this is too good to be true," Shen muttered, "how do you forgot two of the top three things on my list." "Um…yeah." "At the top of the list in big letters…CANNONBALLS, GUNPOWDER, AND CANNONS! How do you forget that!" Shen pulled out a scroll and shoved it into the wolf's face. "Oh," he said, "stupid me."

"we're going back to gongmon city…prepare yourselves to face my wrath…" But before Shen turned to leave he looked at our newest residents, "I would have swore I know you two from somewhere." "You don't recognize your own parents," Elizabeth said. "I was counting on him not recognizing us," the other peacock snapped. "Thank you for the hint mother," Shen said turning to seven wolfs, "I want you seven to go back to gongmon city and don't return until you get the gunpower and the cannonballs!" "Now, it's payback time," Shen said turning to martin. "Not today," Kowalski said holding up the space-time teleport. "fine teleport me back to my time," Shen said, "I'll just teleport right back here." "I installed a blocker on all your teleports," Kowalski said, "it's going to take weeks for you to figure it out." "No!" Shen shouted. Kowalski pushed a button and Lord Shen, his army, their cannons were gone. "Okay you two," I said turning to the two peacocks, "you have some explaining to do." "I suppose we do…" Martin replied.
