Thank you guys so much for those reviews, they were excellent! =3 Some of you mentioned I was a bit out of character with Marlene, I'm sorry about that and I'll try to fix it. I decided it was about time I stuck the lemurs in this story… so here's a classic "Julien Moment" for all you lemur fans to enjoy.
~Remember to review ;D
Chapter two: Lemur Time!
Marlene decided to make her way over to the lemur's habitat. Julien's stupidity is just the pick me-up i need, she thought, and besides maybe I could talk to Maurice. She needed the opinion of someone who was intelligent, yet not paranoid. Confident in her decision, Marlene hopped the fence and made her way towards the plastic volcano.
"Maurice!" shouted the spoiled lemur king from above. "My statue seems to be missing de muscles which I have!"
"Um… sure, your high and mighty, but you said to make the statue realistic" answered his Advisor, painfully shaping the statue's huge head. "Hehehe," Mort sat next to the statue giggling with glee at Julien.
"I did, didn't i?" the king eyed the statue, "which means you should add de muscles." As if to prove his point, he flexed his arms.
"You see? Dese are da muscles you be missing." Mort awed at the thing twigs the king had for arms. "Dey're beautiful aren't dey?" the king spoke transfixed within the sight of his arm.
"Yea.." nodded Mort happily.
"Dey're almost as handsomest as my great kingly feet!" proclaimed Julien.
"YEA." Cheered Mort, eyeing the king's feet.
"Dey so beautiful! I just want to poke de little piggies," Julien said, poking his toes.
"YES! FEEEEEEEEEEET!" squealed Mort, as he lunged for the toes.
"NO MORT!" shouted the king, desperately trying to shake off the tiny clingy lemur, "do NOT Touch de royal FEET!" Julien kicked his foot hard, and Mort was flung right out of the habitat.
"OOOF,"a small flying object landed on Marlene's head. "Mort?" she asked, her head throbbing.
The little lemur turned around to face her and replied in a tiny high-pitched voice, "tis meeeeeee!"
"Julien!" shouted Marlene, annoyed.
"Who's dat?" The king turned around and looked down. "Oh it's just you. You silly otter, Come to bask in my glory?"
Marlene clenched her teeth together, and her hands curled into fists. So much for his stupidity being a pick me-up, she thought, and finally answered through gritted teeth, "no…I didn't... actually.."
The king obviously hadn't noticed her annoyance, and replied "well, den. Are you here to see my beautifulness statue?"
The otter sighed, and let her anger seep away. "Actually, I was wondering if I could speak to Maurice for a moment."
Maurice popped his head out from behind the massive statue, but was beaten by Julien who replied, "why have you in need to speak with him? Maurice is finishing up my handsomest statue, aren't you Maurice?"
Maurice replied, "yes, your majesty but-"
"No butts! Unless it's MY butt you're talking about…" interrupted Julien.
Marlene sighed, "Julien, I'll cut you a deal. If I babysit Mort for the rest of the day, can I talk to Maurice PRIVATELY?" she made sure to emphasize the word 'Privately'.
"Hmm…" pondered the king aloud, "no feet clinging, no big eyes, none of de annoying squeaky-weaky voice…"
Mort looked up in horror at the thought of being separated from Julien's feet for an entire day.
The lemur king looked at Mort's horror-stricken expression, "IT'S a DEAL!"He shouted and shook Marlene's paw. "Maurice," The king addressed his advisor, "you make chitty-chat with the otter for a bit, but then it's back to the making of my handsomest statue."
"Yes, your majesty"
"And don't forget to add de muscles dis time!"
"YES your majesty," Answered Maurice through gritted teeth.
"I will be taking my beautiful beauty nap now, but when I awake…"
"I KNOW!" shouted Maurice.
Julien shrugged, and proceeded towards his bouncy house.
"Well now," Maurice got down from the ladder, "what do you want to know?" he asked Marlene.
"Well, I don't know how to put this… but, do you think I'm too innocent?" answered an uncertain Marlene.
Maurice was shocked at the question, and tried to stutter out an answer, "w-well,"
Suddenly, Julian popped out from nowhere. "I can answer dis question silly otter."
Marlene sighed, why did I ever think he was going to leave us alone?
The lemur king continued, "of course you're much too innocent. Why, if I had a Mort thrown upon my royal head, I'd throw him to de sharks, or even de piranhas!"
Mort nodded happily "it's true."
"But you!" continued Julien "you take him off, without as much as de scolding!"
"You know he's right," Replied Maurice, "you were furious at Julien, and you just let it go."
Marlene should have been angry with their responses, but deep down she knew what they were saying was true. Even her sayings such as 'try looking for the best in people, 'cause you'll always find it' proved how innocent she was.
Then again, she had done things these lemurs couldn't even dream of doing! She'd been to the sewers once; she even saved Skipper's life! That's when she decided, she needed the opinion of someone who had seen her in an act of bravery. And she had just the right guy in mind…
oooohhh... who could it be? XD
