I'm sorry that I haven't been on lately, for I have been moving to a new house. We just got the computer up on Wednesday, July, 11, two says from my birthday on July 13 and the day I am typing this. My family is waiting for the internet to start working…. Which I hope will be soon. That, and I'm going to see Ice age 4 on my birthday (which is also the first day it's in theaters, irony). So sorry for the delay
Leopard The Warrior of Africa
Stefano ran towards his, Gia's, and Vitaly's cart after what he had saw. Just before he could get into the cart, a paw grabbed his frolic, another covered his mouth. The sea lion was soon dragged, into the next train cart. After the door closed, Stefano looked around in fear as his mouth was soon gagged with a tissue, and someone kept a hold of his flippers. Looking at who ever was holding him, Stefano saw Aya trembling as she too looked at him in fear. The sea lion looked away.
Aya placed her head against Stefano before speaking.
"Look, I know that this all looks like we try to hurt Vitaly and circus, but truth is Ayo, he needs a home where he is no outcast, and me, I am just trying to get away from Madagascar," she said, closing her teal eyes. Stefano looked at her again.
"Van Vosa?" came out of his gagged mouth. The female foosa couldn't help but giggle at how the handsome sea lion's words came out.
"Rosa is jealous of Alex. She care for him, but she also jealous."
Stefano gave Aya a confused expression. Aya sighed and took the tissue out of the sea lion's mouth. "What-a do you mean-a jealous?" he asked. "And why-a are you trying to a get away-a from Madagascar? Why is Ayo considered an outcast?"
"Ayo, he is an outcast because he does not act like lion. He act like human's dog. I am trying to get away from Madagascar because I no more welcome there. I help Alex, Marty, Melman, and Gloria against my own kind. Rosa is jealous of Alex because even though sister Shani is older, Shani is weak, runt of litter. Alex next in line for alpha position, but in end, Alex refuse. But Rosa is refused of Alpha title because she reminds everyone of bad lioness Zira. Alpha title got passed onto younger brother, Kerneels, who is angry at Alex for not taking Alpha title," Aya answered, trying to slow down for Stefano to understand in her bad English. Stefano listened carefully to the explanations, even thought one still made him confused.
"What-a reminds everyone in Alice's birthplace-a of the bad lioness Zira?"
"I thought you and everyone here notice. Rosa has stripe on her back. No one see it in front because of her fur tuff," Aya said, looking shocked at Stefano. "Rosa think if she puts Vitaly off guard, she can take over circus. But she sings very pretty, so… I can not help but dance when ever she sings. I am sorry if it doesn't explain all. But please do not tell anyone. We lost too many homes to be in."
Stefano couldn't help but feel pity as he looked at Aya's teal eyes. It was true. She didn't explain everything. But she did explain a lot to him.
….
Vitaly woke up the next morning as the train kept traveling to its destination, and noticed immediately that Stefano wasn't there. 'Must have gone to sleep in Aya's cart,' he thought thinking of how much the sea lion had already taken a fancy to the foosa girl. Looking to Gia's sleeping area of the train; the tiger noticed that the jaguar too had gone to sleep in a different cart, this time with Alex. 'At least she told me vhere she vent,' he also thought. Looking out of the window of the train cart, Vitaly took noticed of the small patches of grass of the beginning of the Russian spring.
"Yo, tiger Mon!" a Brazilian/African mix accent female voice rang out. Vitaly sighed before looking over to see Rosa looking out of her train cart window, her fur tuff blowing with the speed of the train. "How you doing, tiger guy?" she said, since the two train carts were right next to each other.
"Very well. Zhe name is Vitaly, though. You can call me that, nyet?" The Siberian tiger replied, looking away from the lioness before something caught his eye about her, something he didn't notice before. "Vhy do you have stripe on back?"
Rosa looked at him in an angry mood then before looking away. "None 'f your business, Mon!" she yelled, a growl at the end of her sentence. Vitaly couldn't help but smirked. He had just found her weak spot.
"Oh? But vhy not, Rosa? In zhe sunshine of Russia, it is a very beautiful bronze gold with the middle black stripe in it," he said, smirking before looking to the scenery again. Rosa looked back at him before looking away, mumbling something like "flirt" under her breath.
"By the way, your sea lion friend is sleeping next to mon friend Aya over here." The lioness said, looking back into her cart.
"Just as I had zought. Stefano, he seems to take a liking to zhe foosa girl."
Silence went over the two felines. The closer to Vladivostok the train got to, the more patches of spring grass were seen, small flowers popping up here and there. As the train past a small lake, Vitaly decided to bring up another conversation.
"Rosa is not your real name, nyet?" he asked, his green eyes looking at the orange brown lioness. Rosa looked back at him in shock, her green eyes with the blue ring around it looking at him questionably.
"How did you kn-.."
"Well, you said Alex's real name, it was Alakay. Alex later told us you, Ayo, and him were all born in Africa. Rosa does not sound like African name," Vitaly said, a raised eyebrow at Rosa as she sighed in defeat. "So vhat is your real name?"
"Maluuni. It is Swahili for 'outcast,' for I was the outcast of my litter. I have the stripe down my back, I have eyes of three different colors, I have long fur tuff over at least half of one eye, my nose is pink, and I throw knives for fun. I hate the name," Rosa replied, look to the sky as she shook her head. Vitaly watched her for awhile, taking in her features. The jade eyes with the rings of a different color, he thought was unique. The fur tuff was also unique to him. Her pink nose was actually very cute for a lion or lioness with it being so small. The back stripe made her seem for… dangerously attractive in his sense. And the fact that she was a knife thrower… it kind of made him glad that he wasn't the only one with that hobby.
"I think zhat you are very unique. I really do not know any other knife thrower like me self," he said after another moment of silence. "So vhich do I call you by? Maluuni or Rosa?"
"I'd prefer Rosa, thank you very much, Mon."
"Very vell than, Maluuni."
Vitaly dodged in time to avoid one of Rosa's knives, which hit the rim of his window. "How about just Ni, zen?" Rosa stopped at her second knife and thought for a moment.
"Ok, then. You can call me Ni, Vitaly." She said, looking down at the knife in her paw. Vitaly huffed a bit and smirked.
"Can I call you Luuni? Since it zounds like 'loony' and you can be a bit crazy at zertain times?"
Vitaly soon dodged Rosa's second knife, barely missing his shoulder.
Just outside of Vladivostok, the train stopped so that the penguins could set up the circus tent while everyone practiced. Gia watched as Ayo tired to balance some of Stefano's juggling balls while on one paw.
"How I'm doing, Gia?" the cub asked, concentrating on balancing. The Italian jaguar smiled and stood close to Ayo.
"You are-a doing very well. It is sad that you are considered to young to be in the big show-a though," she replied, her brown eyes sparkling at her boyfriend's brother's talent. Ayo smiled and stopped balancing the balls and took them off his nose and other three paws before looking at Gia.
"I don't mind. As long as I can practice. So are you and Big brother Alex going to get married?"
Gia looked at the cub in shock. She and Alex had agreed to take it slow before talking about anything close to marriage. "Um…. How about you wait-a after awhile, Si?"
"Ok, Gia."
"Now, how about you go find-a where Aya and Rosa are, ok?"
"Ok!"
Gia watched the cub run off to find the lioness of foosa.
…
Rosa watched as Vitaly jumped from platform to platform through fire hoops the size of a ring someone would put the ring on their finger and dodging axes. She was impressed as she noticed how the tiger's muscular chest expanded as he took in breaths before jumping through the hoops and dodging the axes to get to the next platform, or how the muscles on his arms flexed, or how his green eyes seem to burn in determination to get pass all of the obstacles in his way or..
Rosa shook her head to clear it of these thoughts. No, she had to put these aside to get the circus from under her brother's ownership to under hers. She couldn't let thoughts of Vitaly get in her way to finally be in charge of something. But the very short conversation of when Vitaly had noticed her back stripe came into her mind. The very stripe that reminded her father of his step-mother Zira, the stripe that had everyone thinking she would be the same, the ugly bronze stripe with the black stripe in the middle of it that never went away when she got older…
"Oh? But vhy not, Rosa? In zhe sunshine of Russia, it is a very beautiful bronze gold with the middle black stripe in it."
Why had he said that? He might have been flirting with her, after all, she had been a bit playful as she showed Vitaly her talent in gypsy dancing. But… why her cursed back stripe?
Rosa sighed and looked to watch Vitaly practice his act still. All of the sudden, she found herself feeling weak in the knees as she heard his growl before he jumped through the last few fire lit hoops. 'So… fierce…' she thought, her mind starting to go into seductive thoughts.
Vitaly finished his new practice course before noticing Rosa looking at him. The tiger noticed that the smaller female had her knees bent towards each other and she was staring right at him.Walking towards her, the tiger looked down at her before waving his paw in front of her face.
"Rosa? Hello, Ni to zhe Earth?" he said snapping his fingers. Rosa shook her head and noticed Vitaly in front of her. Vitaly raised an eyebrow at the new circus lioness.
"Um…. Sorry, Mon…I… I was just um…" the lioness looked at him with her jade eyes. Vitaly couldn't help but chuckle. Rosa chuckled as well and then walked off. "I'll... Um… I will be getting ready for my performance, ok, Mon?"
Vitaly nodded, a grin on his face, not noticing Stefano and Aya in the background. The sea lion and foosa looked at each other and then at the tiger and lioness.
"You think what I think, Stef?"
"Get Rosa to have-a feelings for-a Vitaly?"
"Exactly," Aya said, a huge smile on her face as both her and Stefano began to think of a way to pair Rosa and Vitaly up together.
Me: *is giggling* by the way, my dad just got the internet working, so now I can post this up the same day I wrote it. *is giggling still*
Julian: So why does Aya talk like that?
Alex: well…. Foosa don't really know a lot of English… so… the gang and I taught Aya how to talk in English. She's still trying to get the hang of it, but she's doing pretty well.
Me: You know….. I don't know if I should write how the gang meant Aya, do a story about Rosa's and Alex's childhood together, or put a chapter in this story that involves a lemon…..
Marty: Let the readers vote on that.
Melman: And you might want to rate this T.
Gloria: I agree with Marty and Melman.
Me: ok, well, everyone! Review and help me decide which stories I should write about! Yes, I can do more than one, if you want. And… um… everyone... here's some bad news…
Everyone: What?
Me: I am discontinuing Madagascar Rewritten.
Everyone: What!
Me: Look, I'm sorry! I don't know what else to do with it! So if anyone wants to adopt it, and continue it, I have no problem, just ask me first, ok? So, everyone, please review! And pm me if you want to continue Madagascar Rewritten, cause I don't know what else to do with it. oh, by the way, before I forget, the winner of the "If Alex was a female, as he/she is in Madagascar Rewritten, who would he/she fall in love with in Madagascar 3, if there was going to be a Madagascar3 Rewritten ?" poll, is... Vitaly!
*Awkward silence*
Me: Yeah ... I know... nobody voted for Stefano... and only one person voted for an Oc/entirely different character.
