Here's a story idea I've had for a while, but didn't know how to write out. But here it is at long last. Please enjoy 'The Wedding Par Duex'.
The title idea I got from the movie 'Hot Shots Par Duex'.

(Lemur habitat)
Julien was sitting perched on his throne as he looked out over the zoo. He had a very good view of the zoo seeing as his throne was tall enough. But the thing he looked at the most was the otter habitat. Most especially when Marlene was out swimming in her pond. He loved looking at Marlene when her fur was wet. Oh how he wanted her.
Something small and furry jumped and grabbed onto Julien's feet and Julien then let out a grunt. He looked down and his feet and saw that Mort was hugging them again.
Julien growled and yelled, "MORT! HOW MANY TIMES MUST I BE TELLING YOU? NO GRABBING THE ROYAL FEET!"
Mort looked up at Julien with big eyes and he said in his cute tone, "But I'm cuishoned."
Julien growled some more and he kicked Mort off of his feet which sent Mort flying towards Roger's habitat. Mort landed with a splash in Roger's pond which made Julien smile to himself. He sat back down on his throne as Maurice came running over to him.
"Your majesty. I just got this letter from home and it was sent to you," Maurice said while trying catch his breath.
Julein looked at Maurice and then down at the envelope in Maurice's paw. It had a crudely drawn picture of Julien on the front, so that indicated to the lemurs that it was for King Julien.
Julein scratched his head and asked, "Okay then, but who is it from Maurice?"
Maurice shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know your highness. I don't know how to read. We'll have to ask Phil and Mason about it."
Julien sighed in annoyance and said, "Fine Maurice. We'll go over to the reading monkey's place and ask them who sent my letter."
Maurice nodded and said quietly to himself, "I really need to take up Dave's offer for reading lessons."
Shortly after that, Mort had returned. As soon as he had, all three lemurs left for the chimps habitat.
(Chimp habitat)
As soon as the lemurs arrived at the chimp habitat, Julien began shaking in anticipation. He began shaking even more when they handed the letter over to Phil and Phil began reading it. It was killing Julien to know who had written to him.
"Well? Who sent me my letter. I need to know. I demand that you be telling me," Julien demanded anxiously.
After a few minutes, Phil put the letter down and began signing away with Mason translating.
Mason cleared his throat and said, "Well Julien, here is what the letter says.
Dear son,
I know it's been a long time and that this is the first time we've been in contact since you left here. In the meantime I have learned to read and write thanks to some strangers that arrived here one day a short time ago. They even claimed that they knew you and they told me how I could contact you.
I wrote this letter to tell you that I will be coming to this place you moved to, this "Central Park Zoo" to see you. I just hope that you haven't forgotten me.
Love,
Mother
P.S. One of the strangers told me that you found yourself a nice woman. When I get there I wish to meet her so that I can judge whether or not she is worthy of being your mate."
Julien gasped as soon as Mason had finished transltaing the the words that Phil had been signing.
"My mother is coming? When will she get here? Will it be soon? There is much to be done before she arrives," Julien started yelling frantically.
Maurice heard the sound of a truck engine near the zoo gates, so he looked over at the gates and saw a truck entering. It was slowly driving towards the lemur enclosure.
"Umm... I think it might be to late for that King Julien sir. There's a truck heading our place right now," Maurice said and pointed to the truck.
Everyone saw the truck and Julien just let out a loud scream. He scrambled out of the chimp habitat and back towards the lemur's. Maurice thanked the chimps for there time and ran after the king. Mort just followed after the both of them.
Julien clambered into the habitat as fast as he could. The zooworker set the crate, that had been in the truck, on the ground and went back to grab his crowbar. He hadn't even noticed Julien's absence. The man took the crowbar and pried one of the sides off of the crate. A moment later, the crate's inhabitant walked out of the crate and revealed herself.
What walked out of the crate was a middle aged ring tail lemur. Her walk and appearence showed signs of middle age. She was a little taller than Julian and wore a crown on top of her head which was similar to Julien's. She also had big yellow eyes like Julien's and she had some chubiness to her. She turned and spotted Julien. She smiled as she began to walk to him.
"Ahh my son. It's so good to see you after so long. I missed you," said the older lemur as she walked over and hugged Julien.
"Oh m-mother? It's very good to see you too," Julien said nervously.
The queen lemur pulled away from Julien and she noticed the letter in his paw.
"Huh? When did that letter get here?" she asked with an accent similar to Julien's.
Maurice walked over to Julien and the queen and said, "Just a few minutes ago your majesty. One of your bird couriers brought it."
The queen growled and said, "I sent that letter three weeks ago. It should have been here days ago."
Maurice shivered and said, "My apologies your highness. I didn't mean any disrespect."
The queen sighed and said, "It's not your fault Maurice. Also it's good to see you too."
Maurice nodded courteously, bowed, and said, "It's good to see you too your highness."
The queen nodded some more and asked, "I'm very sorry if this abrupt son. But I wish to know where my potential future daughter-in-law?"
Julien froze after hearing his mother ask. He didn't know how to answer that. How was he supposed to tell her that the girl he wanted, didn't want him?
"She's not a bird is she? You know how I feel about lemurs dating birds," his mother scolded.
"Of course not mother. I'm not that stupid. It's just that... well... she's being very hard to get. She acts like she doesn't want me, but I know she does mother. I know she does," Julien explained to her.
The queen crossed her arms, glaring, and said, "Oh really? Well we'll just see about that. Tell me where she lives."
Julien led his mother to the habitat wall and pointed over to the otter habitat. He had seen Dave leave for the gorilla habitat earlier in the day and he could still see Dave over there playing basketball with them and Joey. Marlene was all alone.
Julien pointed at the otter habitat and said, "She lives over there mother."
The queen looked over and said, "Oh. Okay then. I'll head over there and judge her for myself. If I think she's just right for you, I'll see to it she becomes your queen."
Julien smiled and he and his mother hugged again.
"Thank you mother. I just knew that you could help me," Julien said.
His mother smiled back and left for the otter habitat.
(Otter habitat)
Marlene was just lying in her habitat, watching the clouds float past above her. It was early spring and it was a very nice day out. She wasn't even aware of the lemur sitting in her tree and looking down at her. The lemur queen looked down at Marlene with wonderment in her eyes. The face of this otter was pretty enough and, even from this distance, she could hear Marlene's voice. Her voice was sweet enough too. Unforunately, the queen still wasn't convinced that this otter was good enough for her son. She figured that the otter's appearence would be enough to convince her, but sadly it wasn't. The queen figured that she would have to meet the otter in person before a decision could be reached. The queen removed her crown and left it in the tree to hide that she was royalty. After all, why would a commoner talk to royalty such as her? The queen took a deep breath and started climbing down the tree.
Marlene was still lying in the grass of her habitat. She closed her eyes for just a moment, when she heard the sound of someone approaching. Marlene shot her eyes open and looked over to see an older female lemur coming towards her.
"Umm... hi there. Can I help you or something?" Marlene asked her.
The female lemur stopped for a moment and just looked at Marlene.
"No... I don't. You see I'm new here and I just wanted to meet the new neighbors," she answered Marlene.
Marlene smiled and said, "Oh sorry about that. Well let me start then. My name is Marlene and this is my home."
The lemur smiled and said, "It's alright. My name is Marie. It's nice to meet you Marlene."
As Marlene turned her back for a moment, the queen obersved Marlene a little bit more. Marlene's figure was almost perfect and her eyes were incredible. As she and Marlene talked, Marie took note of Marlene's personality. Well fit for a queen. After an hour of conversation, Marie bid Marlene good-bye and left. Headed back to the lemur habitat to tell her son what she thought. As soon as she re-entered the lemur habitat, Julien went to her expecting the worst.
"Well mother? What do you think of her?" Julien asked her.
She looked back at Julien and said calmly, "Well my son. I'm surprised that I'm actually going to say this. She is perfect for you. But unfortunatly I cannot force her to wed you. Not here anyway. We'll need to get her back to Madagascar. Once there we'll appoint her a duchess and then we can arrange a wedding for the two of you."
Julien became ecstatic, but then Maurice came over and asked, "But tell me, how exactly are we going to do that?"
The queen thought for a moment, but couldn't think of anything.
"I'll think of something my dear. Don't any of you worry about that," the queen answered.
And that's chapter one. So who are these mysterious strangers that came to Madagascar. And if you're wondering how Julien can be a king when his mother is still alive, don't worry. I will explain it later.
Remember to read and review please.
