Guys welcome to my newest story and I hope you get to enjoy it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Penguins of Madagascar.
It was just another typical day at the Central Park Zoo.
Because it was a weekday there were very few visitors at the zoo today. In fact the zoo was pretty much empty right now. The only people around were the staff who were only focused on doing their work that they didn't really pay much attention with what the animals were doing.
It had now been over a week since Dave had returned from Jasper Park and St. Louis. He was keeping in contact with his sister on a regular basis via telephone. So now he didn't feel empty without her.
But this story isn't about Dave so let's move onto someone else now.
Things were quiet at the lemur habitat since Mort had fallen ill and had to be placed in the Vet's office for treatment. He had been having coughing and sneezing fits shortly after King Julien had kicked Mort off of his feet the other day and Mort had landed in the penguins pool. The water had been much colder than usual that day. Luckily the penguins had spotted Mort and rescued him before he could drown. Unfortunatly Mort had gotten sick as a result.
Personally Julien was happy that Mort wasn't around so he wasn't bothered when he tried to nap. But at the same time he was also very bored. Without Mort to kick around Julien felt less like a king and more like a commoner.
King Julien walked over to the tiki bar in his habitat, sat down on one of the bar stools, and sighed.
Maurice looked at Julien and asked, "Something wrong your highness?"
Julian leaned back against the bar and sighed again, this time harder.
"Oh Maurice it is just so boring here without Mort to boss around. I thought that if he weren't around then things would be much better. That I could actually relax for a change. But I have more fun kicking him around and acting kingly. I need some excitment," Julien complained.
Maurice chuckled a little bit and said, "Well you could go over to the otter habitat and try yet again to persuade Marlene to marry you."
Julien perked up, smiled, and said, "Yes Maurice I could. I'll go over to her place and dance for her. It must work because the ladies love the dancing."
Maurice sighed and said, "Your highness you've tried that a hundred times and she rejects you each time you try. Besides I was only kidding around."
Julien smirked and said, "Oh really then why did you suggest it Maurice?"
"To help you feel better your highness," Maurice said.
But it didn't matter what Maurice said. Julien was still hyped up.
"You're right Maurice. My dancing never seems to woo her and I can't seem to convince her to be my queen. There must be some way," Julien said.
And then Julien did something that he had rarely ever done before. He started to come up with a plan. Then an idea hit him.
Julien rubbed his hands together and said, "If I can't convince her to be my queen, then maybe I can force her."
Maurice laughed and said, "I'm sorry King Julien, but how do you plan to do that?"
Julien then began to think a little harder. Normally he wouldn't think this much. But this was a matter of getting what he wanted so he didn't care if his brain hurt or not. After a long moment of thought he finally had an idea.
"Of course why I didn't I think of it before. I'll be back later Maurice I must be going to the reading monkies now," Julien said to Maurice.
Maurice watched as Julien ran off and then he sighed to himself again.
"I just hope he doesn't hurt himself."
(Break. One hour later. Chimp Habitat)
Phil and Mason gave Julien the small stack of papers that Julien had asked for. The papers were all paper clipped together and the stack was a little thick.
"Here it is King Julien. Everything you need for getting a queen. Are you sure that you don't want to name any specific females for this?" Mason said to Julien.
Julien laughed and said, "No, but I would like to know which page is the last one."
"That would be this one," Mason said taking the last page off of the clip.
The page was mostly blank which was even better for Julien.
"Oh thank you tail less reading monkies. I have finally found a way to get my queen," Julien said and ran off again.
"WE ARE CHIMPS," Mason yelled after Julien.
Phil signed something to Mason and Mason said, "I don't know; maybe he's going after Marlene again."
Phil signed something else and Mason said, "I wish him luck then."

Julien walked over to the otter habitat and looked inside. Marlene was there all by herself which was perfect for Julien. He took out the last page of the stack of papers that he got from the chimps and folded it up enough to look like a shodily made card. Hiding any and all text on it. He hid the stack of papers behind a trash can and then he jumped over the wall and slowly walked over to Marlene.
Marlene was quietly lying on one of the rocks in her habitat just trying to get some sun and she was just minding her own business. She had her eyes closed and was trying to nap when a shadow loomed over her. She opened eyes and saw Julien standing over. He was smiling down at her too. Marlene sighed and stood up.
"What is it this time Julien? I've already told you over and over again that I am NOT going out with you," Marlene said.
Julien just waved his arm and said, "No no no silly otter. I am actually here for something different."
He then showed her the folded paper and pulled out an inkwell that he had grabbed from the chimp habitat before leaving it.
He held both of them up and said, "I just wanted you to sign this get well card for Mort."
This only made Marlene more suspicious.
"You? A get well card? For Mort?" Marlene asked with a laugh.
Julien nodded, but Marlene didn't buy it.
"Julien why would you of all people make a get well card? And for Mort? That is not like you at all," Marlene pointed out.
Julien now felt like he had been caught, but he quickly came up with something to say.
He looked back at Marlene and said, "Well it's just so boring over there without Mort to kick around. So the sooner he gets back the sooner I won't be feeling bored. Please sign this for me."
Marlene sighed and said, "Okay Julien if it means that much to you I'll sign it. Just please leave me alone after I do."
Julien smiled and and handed Marlene the "card" and the inkwell. Marlene placed her paw into the ink and the pressed her paw onto the "card." After she had finished signing, Marlene wiped her paw onto her chest to get the ink off of her paw. A dip in the pool would get the ink off of her chest.
She looked back at Julien and said, "There are you happy now?"
Julien smile grew wider and he said, "Oh you have no idea how happy I am Marlene."
Marlene sighed yet again and said, "Good now can please just go away and leave me alone."
Julien nodded and left the otter habitat.
Marlene sighed and jumped into her pool and got the ink off of her chest. She jumped out in front of her cave and shook the water off of her fur. She then walked into her cave. Dave was in there and he was just waking up from the nap that he had been taking. He looked at Marlene and noticed that she was a little frustrated.
"You okay Marlene? You look a little irritated," Dave asked.
Marlene groaned and lied down on her bed.
She looked at Dave and said, "It's just Julien being annoying again."
Dave let out a little laugh and said, "The ego king flirting with you again?"
Marlene let out a little laugh as well and said, "No just wanted me to sign a card for him is all. He claims it is for Mort so that he can get better and Julien can start kicking him around again."
They both laughed after that.

Back at the lemur habitat, Julien was in a happier mood. He carried with him the stack of papers and pulled out the folded up slip and unfolded it.
Maurice walked over to Julien and asked, "Um... are you okay your highness?"
Julien looked at Maurice and said, "Of course I am Maurice. Stair one is complete."
"Stair one?" questioned Maurice.
"You know Maurice. Stair one of my genius plan," Julian answered.
"Oh you mean step; step one. Step one of what?" Maurice said.
Julien sighed and said, "Call it whatever you want Maurice. What I mean is is that the first stair of my plan is complete. A plan that I like to call 'Get my Queen.'"
Julien looked at the small stack of papers that he had gotten from the chimps. The words on the front page said, "Contract."
"Oh Maurice be sure to thank the reading monkies for making this for me," Julien said happily.
For an idiot Julien can be scary smart sometimes. It appears that Marlene has signed a contract so what is going to happen next?
I know I mentioned this on an earlier story, but I am NOT going to try to write in Julien's accent.
Remember to read and review folks.
