Ninj: Okay! Here's the next chapter! From here on, I'm gonna use two of my friend's OCs, Maverick and Scout. They belong to M. Slayer. Okay, here we go~

Chapter two: Getting Ready

As soon as Rune had woken up, she told all her friends of her dream and why she needed to go to Madagascar.

"I don't know, Rune... Your mother came in a dream and told you that you have family elsewhere?" Skipper said. "What if Blowhole or an enemy spy used some sort of weapon to make your dream?"

"Okay, first, Blowhole isn't that smart and two, it wasn't no regular dream," Rune told him sternly. "I could feel the wind! I could taste the air!"

Maverick the wolf, one of Rune's best friends, went wide eyed. "I want a dream like that! Expect, it'd be about apples and... and coffee!!" Scout, a fellow wolf and friend of Rune, rolled her eyes and sighed.

Rune turned to Kowalski. "Kowalski, you believe that it wasn't just a dream, right?" Everyone looked at Kowalski and waited for an answer.

"Um... Ah... Well, science..." Rune looked at him with her pouty face. He smiled nervously. "I'll start on the plans for our transportation!"

"Oh, thank you, Kowalski!" Rune shouted, hugging him tightly.

It took awhile, but Kowalski had finally made a pretty descent airplane, unlike the one they made back in Africa. The only thing left was to decide who was going.

"Okay, so me, Rune...," Kowalski started.

"I'll go," Maverick said, lifting his paw and waving it excitedly. "I want to see what Rune's real family looks like!"

"I want to go. I could use a vacation," Scout said. "Life at the zoo can be pretty stressful."

"We'll me, Rico and Private are going. We can't have our friends traveling in dangerous territory alone," Skipper told them.

"Oh! Oh! I wanna go too!" Chip shouted, jumping up and down wildly.

"No way! Absolutely not! Like Skipper said, its dangerous territory," Rune said to her son, "Steve is coming over soon to baby sit you."

"Aww... I don't wanna be baby sitted...," he whined.

"Sorry, Chip, but you are," Kowalski said. "We can't have you running around Madagascar."

"Did someone say Madagascar?" said a voice. Everyone turned to see the three annoying lemurs along with the Tyler. "I, your king, shall be coming too!"

"No way!!" Maverick shouted. Rune thought quickly.

"No, he can come," she said.

"What?!?" Everyone gasped.

Julien threw his hands in the air. "Ah-ha!! Yes!"

"Oh one condition... you sign a contract."

"Yes! ...Wait... What type of contract?"

Rune turned to Kowalski. "May I?" He nodded and handed her his notebook and pencil and she quickly wrote something down. Then, with a smirk, she handed it to Julien.

He began to read it out loud, "I, King Julien, here by swear to obey Rune and her friends and husband and must do whatever they say. If not, I risk the lost of my... boombox?! No! This is not to be happening!"

"Fine," Rune said shrugging. "Guess you're not coming."

"W-Wait! I...I'll sign it..." Rune smiled as Julien signed the contract.

"Okay. I guess we have everyone. Let's go, peoples! My family is waiting!" Rune shouted happily.
