Lemur One-Shots

Chapter 1: Subway Surfing

Silence passed between the group of five as four of the members had a look around at where they had arrived. After a few seconds, one of the two females of the bunch looked at the one who had obviously made himself the leader. "Um, Julien?" she asked.

"Yes, Julia?" Julien asked, looking over at Julien, who was obviously his queen. The other three members, Maurice, Mort and Marlene were all watching this scene on.

"When you said that we were going surfing, I didn't think this was what you meant!" Julia yelled. The group were down in the subway; Julien had come up with this surprisingly ridiculous idea, and Julia considered it a wonder as to how they all thought that was a good idea.

"Can someone please remind me why we agreed to do this?" Maurice asked, clearly thinking the same thing that Julia was. "I like surfing!" Mort blurted out, innocently. Not surprisingly, Julien and Julia didn't hear either of these comments since they were too busy caught up in their own issues.

"Well, of course we're surfing, silly. On the subway, no less!" Julien smiled. The others stared at him, before crossing their arms and glaring at him in annoyance.

"So, basically you brought us down to the subway just for us to find out that we were riding on top of the trains?" Marlene asked. Julien nodded with an innocent smile; that was basically the main idea. "Okay, I could think of three ways that this idea is stupid, but I know you won't want to listen to me." Marlene responded.

"That's because he thinks he's got the best ideas out of all of us, when that's really not true." Maurice commented, saying that to Marlene so Julien couldn't hear him. The two then started laughing since they were aware of how much of a real fact that was. Julien looked back at them in confusion, and the two immediately shut themselves up when they saw him staring.

"So are you really sure that this is a good idea?" Julia asked. Before Julien could respond, the group could hear the sound of a train coming. "Here comes our ride. Hurry up so you don't miss out!" Julien said, as he turned to the rest of the group before rushing off to jump him. Mort immediately followed him while the other three watched in disbelief.

"Since when does Julien talk like that?" Marlene asked. "I'm not the one to ask about things like that. He's always not easy to figure out." Maurice responded. The two then smiled at each other, and then started to rush after the other two which meant Julia was the only one who hadn't gone yet. Julia then sighed and slowly shook her head.

"Might as well go along with it." Julia commented. She then rushed over and jumped on, grabbing hold of the end of the line and climbing up to find the others already on the top of the train. "What do you guys think you're doing?! It's dangerous to be standing on the top; we might fall off!" Julia yelled out, with the other barely able to hear her.

"Why do you think it's called subway surfing, Julia? You need to be on the top for the full experience!" Julien called in response. Maurice and Marlene were both holding hands so they wouldn't fall off and Mort was just grabbing onto the train.

"I'm a surfer, yay!" Mort cheered. Julia was silent before she started to smile; she was actually starting to enjoy herself now that she was on top. Maybe this wasn't such a ridiculous idea after all. Julien then noticed another train coming and jumped towards it, only to hit a pole instead and slowly slide off while the others watched.

"Maybe we shouldn't do anymore of this." Julia commented. The others nodded in agreement.
