Boom!!
Marlene grabbed her ears, wishing that the noise would just go away. When it dawned to her on what was really happing. She slowly let go of her ears and hopped off her bed. She wasn't really sure how long she slept, but as she got closer to the cave entrance she had a pretty good idea of how long. A small droplet gently hit her forehead as she stepped outside; a cool breeze hugged her fur. She raised her head up to the sky as more small droplets hit her fur, it was raining!! She couldn't believe how silly and wrong she was, how could she mistake thunder for a murders threat. Then again she was dreaming and I guess anything is possible in a dream. Suddenly she heard a voice, not animals but human's although this human could possibly be the missing link.
"Alice?"Marlene said out loud "What's she doing here?"
Of cores, Alice, would come to work even if there was no work to be done, since it was Sunday, but why? Marlene took a few seconds to question how long she had slept, when she heard Alice complaining. Alice, by now, was standing by the lemur habitat, holding a cage. She started to say how she couldn't believe, she, out of all the zookeepers, had to come to work, on a Sunday, in pouring down rain. Marlene rolled her eyes, but quickly turned he attention back when Alice reached down at something brown and gray, wearing a funny looking hat on its head.
"Julian?" Marlene had a confused expression planted on her face.
Alice quickly and roughly, tossed Julian in, then Maurice, and finally Mort. Alice was still complaining as the turned around and hopped in her little zoo car, the cage sitting on the seat next to her. Marlene couldn't see the lemur's facile expressions, but she had a bad felling in her stomach. The rain was pouring down harder now, Marlene looked around, but the rain made it hard to see. She could make out a few shapes and noticed that the lemurs weren't the only ones who were gone or leaving. Alice seemed to be taking all the small animals out of the zoo that couldn't swim, which included the lemurs. Marlene had seen this only once before at her old zoo when the zoo evacuated most of the animals that couldn't swim in case of a flood. Marlene shuddered the thought of flood just didn't sound right, even if she could swim.
