Plane crash site, unknown location
(Alex's POV)
the plane settled down on the ground and the oxygen masks finally deployed. We were all still hanging on to our seats in utter shock. Gloria finally woke up with a yawn, "oh were here!" Gloria's eyes widened in shock when she realized we definetly weren't in New York. Melmen had managed to get a oxygen mask and was hyperventilating. "What in the world?" Gloria asked, "What happened to the plane? What did you all do the plane?"
Marty and I slowly got out of the plane marty was grasphing a drink and I had part of my seat stuck to my claws. "I'm alive…I'm alive," Marty said. "Wow!" I said." "See I can't even sleep for a minute," Gloria said, "and you know what this is not JFK!" "Wow!" I said again. I turned when I heard Skipper shouted, "Kowalski Causality report!" "Only two passengers left unaccounted for Skipper," Kowalski replied. "that's not good," Elsa said. "That's a number I could live with!" Skipper said, "good landing boys! Who says a penguin can't fly?" The Penguin then proceeded to…high five?...High one?...High flipper?...each other in celebration.
GOOD LANDING!? GOOD LANDING!? You call this a good landing? "Hey!" I said, "Happy slappers! Is there some reason to celebrate? Look at the plane!" "We'll fix it!" Skipper replied. "Fix it? How are you going to fix this?" "grit…spit…and a whole lot of duck tape," Skipper said, "We should be up and running in say…" Skipper glanced over at Kowalski who held out a abacus, "…Six to Nine months!" I didn't hear skipper correctly and shouted, "SIXTY-NINE Months!" "No," Skipper said, "Six TO nine months." Skipper turned back to Kowalski, "I say we use this setback to our advantage…" "Where do you pull that number out of huh?" I said. "I want you to reconfigure the design…" "Great!" I said. "so start reconfiguring!" Kowalski sulated and went off to work. "How do you estimate that!"
While Kowalski did some measurements with a tape measure Skipper turned his attention to me, "You pretty boy!" he said, "why don't you and your friend dig a latrine! Maybe find water." "What hold on a second!" I said, "You made you King of the…planewreak!" "Excuse me?" Skipper asked as rico pulled out a switchblade. "Men," Elsa said as she waddled off to the other side of the planewreak. "Fine!" Skipper said, "You can be in charge! You fix the plane!" "who gives you the authority to put me in charge!" I replied. "Okay then," Skipper said, "I'll remain in charge!" "That's right you will remain in charge!" I said. "You and your little hippie friends can stay out of our hair!" Skipper said. "Correctomudo," I said, "because I decided to!" "good for you!" Skipper said. "Well guess what!" I said as I walked away, "this discussion isn't over!" "yes it is!" Elsa shouted.
Skipper turned his attention to the chimps, "Higher mammals! You stay with us! We could use your front cortexes and opposable thumbs!" Phil replied in sign-language. "Phil," Mason said, "I should wash your hands off with soap!" As we walked away gloria came up to me and said, "How in the…HELLO…are they going to fix this plane!" "you know," I said, "grit and spit and…" what was the other thing? Duct tape…no I probably should leave that part out. "and spit…and lots of spit…and spit n' griting. And stick-to-itiness..." "that doesn't seem to promising…" Marty said. "your right! Your right! We're stuck here!" "Hey guys! As long as we're together we'll be okay!" Marty said. "Yeah! yeah! but love ain't going to get us home guys," I replied.
Suddenly a tour jeep full of people showed up. "Behold!" the guide said, "the lion!" "Hey it's people!" I said as we got flashed by their camera. "Okay there is much to see," the guide said, "Moving on!" The jeep then sped off as quickly as It appeared. "Wait! Wait! Wait!" Gloria shouted as we all chased after the tour jeep, "where are you going?" "stop!" Melmen shouted. "People!" Gloria said. "Wait!" "Hey!" I shouted as I caught up with the jeep, "If you stop I'll autograph those!" Suddenly a old lady lowered her camera, "I know you…" "YOU!" I said. "It's the bad kitty!" Nana shouted. She then proceeded to slap me in the head multiple times with her bag. "Give me that," I said as I grabbed the purse and pulled her out of the jeep.
We quickly exchanged punches shortly after landing on the ground. "How do you like some of that?!" I said. We then continued to trade punches. After several minutes of punching I spit out a tooth and delivered another punch. The Old Lady adjusted her glasses and spat out her dentures. She then roundhouse kicked me, then punched me, then kicked me to the ground. She tried to slam a big log down on me but I blocked it. I got back up and was about to drop a rock down on her. She suddenly twisted my chest fur while saying, "Come in, Tokyo!" I screamed in pain as the rock flew up in the air. The rock then flew down and hit me in the head. She then delivered on last kick… "Oh, Right in the Batteries," Marty said.
"You think an old lady can't take care of herself?" She replied as she put her dentures back in. "Next time, I won't go so easy on you!" The tourguide opened the door and she got back in, "Thank you, dear," She replied. "Moving on!" he said as he drove the tourgroup away. "Are you out of your mind?" Gloria said as she roughly pulled me up, "We need help and you harass old ladies?!" "Out of my mind?" I asked as I shook her phone out of her handbag. "Who's out of my mind now?" I asked unaware that something else caught Melmen's and Gloria's attention. "See if you can get an operator…" Marty said as I laughed evilly. "No problem," I said. "Out of my mind," I said, "we're going home."
But then I saw what everyone else was looking at. I walked to where Gloria, Marty and, Melmen were standing and saw a massive savannah and a watering hole surrounded by Zebras, hippos, giraffes, elephants, cape bufflo, and other African animals. In the distance was a dormant volcano that dominated the landscape plus grassland and trees as far as the eye could see. "Message E-4," Phone said, "The service user has roamed outside the coverage area. Please try again later." I lowered the flip-phone and flipped it closed. "Woah," melmen said. "Am I trippin'?" Gloria asked. "All those zebras…like me," Marty said, "Wait a minute where are we?" "San Diego," Melmen said, "this time I'm forty percent sure…"
"I know this place," I said. "I think it's Africa," Marty said. "Africa?" Melmen said. "It's got to be," Marty said, "Our Ancestral crib. It's in our blood. I can feel it!" "No, It's more than that. It's like…déjà vu, like I've been here before," I said. "It's like Roots!" Marty said. "No no, It's like…Déjà vu, Like I've been here before…"
