Note: I'm going to try and work on another story that is actual animals instead of humans this time. I will still be doing the other but it'll be a lot slower since I am in a rut with it. I will be rating it T for references I make later and such. Enjoy!

"MORT! How many times must I say this!? Stay away from the royal feets!" the lemur barked out kicking the small mouse-like lemur off the high stone platform and over into the bouncy. Maurice grunted as he heard the harsh words of his King and looked up over at the taller and more slender one. For some reason Julien had been acting more bitter today.

"King Julien is something the matter?" he aksed in is gruff voice, the moody mammal turned around and beamed at the aye-aye.

"No nothing is the mattah! Mort needs to learn to keep is itty bitty body away from the feets," he huffed and jumped up into his throne. Truth be told, something was wrong. His orange eyes turned to the penguin's habitat and watched the four doing their usual 'cute and cuddly' routine for the crowds of people. More specific, he had locked on to the leader. A heavy sigh left him before turning to his adviser.

"Maurice..."

"Your highness?" the stumpier queried

"How would you go about asking the one love of your life that you love them without feeling the sting of the turning down from them?"

Caught off guard, Maurice turned to face his higher-up who wore a very solemn look.

"Uhm..well, honesty would be your best bet your high-" the King of Lemurs burst into a hasty laughter.

"You couldn't be more wrong Marurice! You have to show them through bringing the attention to yourself!" Julien corrected him, Maruice in return giving a roll of his eyes and rubbing his chin.

"Why do you ask such a question?"

"Oh- no reason, I was just curious.."he shrugged. His devious eyes still pinpointed on the penguin. Words of his adviser got to him, maybe that's what he should do. Just tell him, ugh that's too hard.

Julien was restless in his sleep that night, he leapt from his throne. He needed to dance, that would get these longing thoughts off his mind. Once the music started he began to shake to the blaring beat that filled the zoo, very little time passed before his thoughts of the one he longed for became hazy. But of course not everyone in the exhibits were enjoying the mad beats that the lemur had been dancing to, Skipper, being one of them.

Not being able to take anymore, the short-fused penguin left the security of the HQ and stormed for the source of the blaring music. With a few maneuvers he grabbed one of the batteries and held it up, the abrupt stop of music making Julien stop and turn towards his stereo.

"Why did you take the battery from my boomy-box!?" he exlamied with a stamp of his foot.

"Do we have to go through this again ringtail?" the obviously annoyed one asked glaring at his enemy.

Julien shook his head and gave out a heavy sigh.

"No, of course not. I dont want to annoy you with my booming beats," he muttered, facing away from the penguin. Skipper's brow rose, something seemed out of place. At this point he would have thought the lemur would have him in the floor struggling for the battery back.

"Alright..then..." Gloom radiated off the one before him, Skipper waddled over to him and cocked his head.

"What's up with you ring-tail?" Julien looked at the shorter male and puffed his tail out.

"Get out of my habitat you flightless bird!" he hissed, pushing Skipper who didn't seem to budge. Skipper grunted and decided to leave, not from Julien's order but because he didn't want to bother with this.

Once the perplexed bird left Julien crawled back up into his throne and watched the other leave. His body ached in a way it hasn't before. After the stumpy bird returned into his head quarters the aching lemur shifted and tried to fall asleep.
