A/N: This is a rewritten version of the Penguin Brotherhood story.
Disclaimer: I don't own PoM or any of its characters.
It was another boring afternoon in Central Park Zoo, nothing interesting happened and the penguins were getting quite bored out until Kowalski wanted to show them his newest invention in the lab.
"So…what did you invent this time Kowalski?" Skipper asked with flippers on his hips.
Kowalski cleared his throat and began "As you already know, Alice had found all the hidden surveillance cameras that we installed around the zoo to observe the habitats and took them away. So I've decided to make a one that she can't see" the tall bird explained.
"You mean like an invisible camera?" asked Private with a confused look.
"Not exactly" the scientist returned, "It's a very small observation camera that I've installed into one of the light poles near our habitat. Its small size and dome shape makes it hard for anyone to detect it" he said, and pressed a button on the remote he held. The big screen that was hung to the wall turned on showing the penguins, the chimps, the otter, and the lemur habitat.
"Wow, that's amazing K'walski!" Private exclaimed.
"Ah-ha" Rico agreed.
"Yeah Kowalski, You might have finally invented something that won't try to destroy us!" Skipper said, placing a flipper over the scientist's shoulder. Kowalski however raised a brow awkwardly, not sure to take it as a compliment or an insult but thanked him anyway.
Just then, a ring tailed lemur crashed into the room, slamming the door open and making them all jump back in surprise.
"Hello penguin neighbors!" Julian exclaimed happily with his arms wide open.
Skipper face-flipped himself. "Ringtail what're doing here!?" the penguin leader shouted back at him.
"De king is just stopping by to invite de fishy penguins to his big Friday night party!" Julian chirped.
Private, Kowalski and Rico were excited. "Oh how kind of you. We would love to…" Private trailed off when his leader interrupted him.
"Thanks but we'll pass" Skipper said, solemnly.
Everyone looked at him in confusion. "But it will be fun!" Julian insisted.
"I said no and that's final Ringtail, if you want to have a party then go ahead, but me and my men aren't coming" Skipper told Julian. The ring –tailed lemur had a small amount of sadness on his face that soon turned into anger.
"Well de king does not need de fishy penguins to have fun in his party anyway" he responded and made his way to the exit "Especially the bossy one" he added before slamming the door shut behind him. Skipper shook and turned around to see his teammates staring in shock at him.
"What?"
"Skippah, why were so mean to Julian?" Private asked.
"Because we don't have time for Ringtail's crazy parties. I need you three to get enough rest for tomorrow's mission. Understood?" Skipper said.
"Yes sir!"

Later that evening. Skipper stood on the fake ice floe with a mug full of fish coffee. He looked over to the lemur habitat. It was decorated with bright lights and Julian was dancing to the music with Maurice and Mort who were probably forced to dance along, but no one bothered coming to his party, surely because there was no good reason for Julian to celebrate.
Skipper sighed and gazed above to the starry sky and the silver moon that hung above the city.
