Marlene glanced at the sky. It was black, with many stars and a big moon.

"7, 8, 9," Jason counted. Marlene grabbed Antonio's hand and hid behind a trashcan.

"15, 16, 17," Marlene heard Jason say. The two otters could hear the other animals scurrying around to their hiding spots.

"28, 29, 30!" Jason whipped around, sniffing the air. Marlene and Antonio pressed against the wall, not moving a muscle.

Jason crept down the sidewalk, looking for animals he could tag.

"We all run when I say so, okay?" King Julien said. Tasha, Maurice and Mort nodded. "Okay-"

Suddenly, Jason seized Mort. Mort giggled.

"I've got 'Virus'! Ha ha ha!" Mort laughed. King Julien turned to Tasha and Maurice.

"Now RUN!" King Julien yelled, and started to run. His girlfriend, Tasha the ruffed lemur and Maurice raced after him. Jason dropped Mort and the two went their separate ways.

The penguins hid behind their habitat.

"When I say go, we all do the belly slide." Skipper ordered. The other three penguins nodded.

Toby the black-footed ferret stood next to a bench, shaking. He didn't want to be tagged, especially if Hisser tagged him. He shuddered. If she did tag him, she would rip his insides out and laugh. Toby shook his head. Marlene would protect him. He knew she loved him. She just hadn't found out who her true love was yet. A grin crossed his face. Me, he thought. I'm her true love!

"VIRUS!" A voice squealed. Toby whipped around to see the mouse lemur. Mort hit him in the face and knocked him to the ground. "You've got 'Virus'!" Then he stood up and ran away. Toby rubbed his head and grimaced at the little lemur. Next round I'll have better luck, he thought to himself.

Savio was wrapped around a sidewalk light. It wasn't a very good spot, but he had wasted time thinking about where to hide that when Jason said 30 he was left by the sidewalk light. All he could do was wrap himself around it and hope that no one would see him.

"Hey, hey you!" A voice snapped. Savio swiveled his head to see Burt the elephant.

"Oh, hi Burt," Savio greeted. Burt glared at him.

"You ate my friends, you're gonna pay!" Burt sneered. Savio palmed his face with the end of his tail.

"Look, they're better now, and they forgive me." Savio replied. Burt kept his cold, hard stare on the boa.

"You better wish!" Burt said harshly. Savio sighed.

"Just promise to keep quiet, okay?" Savio pleaded. Burt rolled his eyes.

"Fine, I'll be quiet, but don't think this ends anything!" Burt stomped away angrily.

Without warning, Mort climbed onto Savio's head and poked him.

"You've got 'Virus' too! Ha ha ha!" Mort yelped then slid down Savio and raced away.

"Thanks a lot Burt!" Savio hissed.

Skipper looked both ways, and saw Jason heading towards them.

"Go, boys!" Skipper yelled and pointed the way. They all slid on their bellies and followed Skipper.

"Yay! We escaped Jason!" Private cheered in his British accent.

"Just barely, but-AHHH!" Kowalski started, but suddenly vanished in a flash of snakeskin.

"Not my options guy!" Skipper wailed.

"Skippah, Savio's got 'em!" Private pointed at Savio, who had his tail wrapped around Kowalski. Kowalski glared at them.

"Imma get you!" Kowlaski exclaimed, followed by an evil laughed. The penguins stared at him.

"Weird…" Rico murmured.

Marlene squeezed Antonio's arm tightly.

"Oh my gosh, Antonio, we haven't even been spotted yet! We're so good at this game!" Marlene whispered. Antonio turned and kissed her quickly. She blushed.

"You know, we should really do this more often." Antonio replied.

"What?"

"Jugar and pasar algunos solo tiempo juntos." Antonio said in fluent Spanish.

"Aw, we should!" Marlene grinned, but suddenly, they heard a noise…
