"Mad Maddie"

Thanks for the reviews and patience, everyone. They were wonderful. Now here's the next chapter. Please enjoy.

Chapter 4

" Her parents went to the hospital, but they should be back soon," Killer uttered. " By the way, you're a rapist? Dude, no offense, but that's disgusting."

" Actually I found it fun," J.J. buzzed. " By the way, it was not a rape. It was merely part of a courtship ritual."

" Says you," Maddie roared then began stomping toward J.J.. " You're the one that didn't have to go through all of the confusion and fear like I did. Not to mention

that I'm going to be the one delivering our baby about nine months from now."

" Maddie, I'm sorry," J.J. stumbled as he back away from Maddie then stopped. "I had no idea what came over me."

" You're lying through your teeth," Maddie hissed then barked. " Look, why are you here?"

" I just came to say I'm sorry," J.J. chattered. " That's all."

" Sorry doesn't cut it," Maddie bellowed. " You did what you did and there's nothing you can do to change that."

" But," J.J. sputtered.

" Nothing," Maddie snapped then pointed a finger toward the exit. " Now get out of here before my parents come back and see you."

" But," J.J. stuttered, until Maddie narrowed her eyes at him and place her paws on her hips. " Okay." With a droop of his tail, J.J. turned around and walked out of

the habitat, but did not leave. Instead, he hid inside of a nearby bush, waiting for Killer to leave.

Inside the habitat, Maddie was sobbing into her paws. Killer placed a flipper on her shoulder and patted it. " I can't believe the nerve of him," she wailed.

" I can't, either," Killer groaned. " And I can't believe he made you pregnant."

"Oh, believe it," Maddie bawled as she looked up, revealing teary, red eyes. " Just be glad that you weren't the one who didn't have to go through all of that."

Just as Killer was about to say something, the walkie-talkie beeped. Maddie walked over and picked it up. " Hello," she sniffled.

" Hey, Maddie," a british voice boomed out of the walkie-talkie's earpiece. " This is your Uncle Private. Could you tell Killer that it's time to come back to the

penguin habitat, please? It's almost dinner time."

" Of course," Maddie choked out.

" Are you alright," Private's voice softened.

" I'm fine," Maddie mumbled.

" Are you sure," Private chirped.

" Yes, I'm sure," Maddie sniffed, again as she wiped her eyes with her free paw.

" Well, okay then," Private spoke slowly, hesitating. " Bye."

" Bye," Maddie murmured as she and Private shut off the walkie-talkies. She then turned to Killer and told him what Private told her. Killer nodded his head and

left for the penguin habitat.

Once Killer had left for the penguin habitat, J.J. waited for half an hour then crept back inside. J.J. balanced walking on his toes, until he reached the couch and

crawled behind it. After he crawled behind it, he peeked over the top at Maddie who was putting the food in the fridge from the stew. As soon as she was done

putting the food away, she closed the door, turned around, and walked toward the couch. When she got there, she turned around and began to sit down.

Suddenly, J.J. jumped out from behind the couch and placed one of his paws over Maddie's mouth, while placing his other paw around her torso. Maddie struggled

and made muffled sounds. " Maddie, listen," J.J. grumbled. " About what you said back there. I had no idea that it was going to confuse and scare you, I swear,

but I assure you that me mating with you was nothing but a courtship ritual that lemurs of my father's tribe back in Madagascar do to show their love towards

their mates."

Maddie made a few more muffled noises before forcibly removing J.J.'s paw with her paws. " Courtship ritual," she hissed. " You touched me in places that I did

not want to be touched."

" Sorry, I'm related to a wild animal," J.J. whispered then heard a noise come from the cave entrance, but chose to ignore it, thinking it was just the wind.

" That's no excuse," Maddie exclaimed as she pushed her way out of J.J.'s grip then turned around to face the young ringtail. " My father's from the wild and so

are my uncles and I don't see or hear of them acting the way that you did."

" That's because they're birds," J.J. buzzed. While the two were arguing, a small figure flew inside and hung upside down in the cave entrance. Apparently the

figure was a light brown bat with a Southern accent who was the same height as Maddie and came up to Marlene's chin. Also, he had just barely transferred to

the zoo's new bat habitat, today when the one at his old zoo became too crowded and had to send him and several others away. From there, he had become

bored and decided to fly around the zoo, seeing what it was like. Unfortunately, for him, he came to the otter habitat at the wrong time, but did not realize it,

seeing that he was trying to catch his breath.

" Man, my wings are more tired than a fly trying to do a somersault," the bat mumbled to himself then glanced over at the couple, raising an eyebrow. " Well. Well.

What have we here?"

" No, it's because they have this little thing called self-control," Maddie snorted. " Learn it."

" Ouch," the bat half-whispered. " That had to hurt."

"What about you," J.J. hollered. " You have no self-control, so why are you saying that I need to learn it when you're standing here, yelling at me for no good

reason?"

" There obviously has to be a reason," the bat uttered. " Otherwise, she wouldn't be yelling at him, like Kelsi did each time I forgot to floss my fangs…I miss Kelsi.

I wonder if she misses me as much. "

" J.J., if I didn't have self-control, you'd be dead and covered in blood from head to toe, right about now with your inner organs on the outside," Maddie growled. "

So I suggest that you get your ring-tailed keister out of here, before I…" Suddenly, J.J. wrapped his arms around Maddie as he stuck his tongue in her mouth like

last time. Maddie struggled to get free, but her shoulders down to her elbows were immobilized. About a few seconds later, she stopped struggling and leaned

toward J.J., tranquility taking over her as she copied him. Next, she wrapped her arms around J.J.'s waist and pulled him closer. Soon, J.J. reached one of his paws

up to the back of Maddie's head, pushing her in more. Maddie moaned a little then winced when she felt something touching her from below, which caused her

eyes to change from blue to green. It was J.J.'s reproductive organ, which was rubbing against hers, slowly, but less aggressive this time. A few moments later,

the couple had collapsed onto the floor with J.J. on top. The bat gasped as he widened his eyes, making them take up his entire face then flew out of the cave, in

search of animals that may know the kids and go separate them.

J.J. pulled his head back and stared at Maddie, panting along with her. " You have self-control, huh," he muttered with a smirk as he straddled Maddie's waist. "

Then what do you call that?"

" Oh, shut up," Maddie spat with a sneer as her eyes changed back to blue. " Besides, you're the one that forced me into it. Now get your sorry butt off of me,

before I beat you to a pulp and break every single bone in your body, starting with your head."

" Uh-huh," J.J. rolled his eyes. " Whatever."

From there the couple continued mating. Soon, Marlene and Skipper walked through the door of the habitat and stared at the couple on the floor. They were on

their way back from the animal hospital when the bat landed in front of them, alerting the couple of the situation. Shaken and steaming, the parents dashed to

the cave as fast as they could to separate the two. The bat followed, managing to keep up, despite that fact that he wanted to flop on the ground and sleep.

Skipper, who had the cut on his flipper stitched and wrapped in a bandage, narrowed his eyes, along with Marlene. " J.J., what do you think you're doing on top of

my daughter," Skipper roared as he approached the couple, causing J.J. to jump up and land on his feet. He turned toward Skipper and giggled nervously as

Maddie pushed herself up off the floor.

" I…uh…well," J.J. stuttered as he tapped the tips of his fingertips together. " I fell over and Maddie just happened to be there to catch me."

" That's not what we saw," Marlene grunted as she stepped beside Skipper, folding her arms.

" Look, I can explain," J.J. squeaked as the bat landed on the ceiling of the cave entrance.

" Explain what," Skipper boomed after he put his flippers on his hips. " There's nothing to explain here."

" Okay," J.J. sighed after a pause. " You got me. I mated with Maddie, again. Are you happy now?"


Ugh.J.J. did it, again. Why am I not surprised? No, wait. I'm the author. That's why. LOL. Anywho, coming up next in Chapter 5, catch what happens to J.J., this time. Please stay tuned and find out more. BTW : The bat, Erik, does not belong to me. He is the property of Skullshovel. Also, I decided to make the pregnancy last nine months, since the other animals' ages are in human years. Thank-you for reading this message.
