A.N.- Okay, everyone, here is chapter 4! Enjoy!

Chapter 4: I Want My Petey!

(Marlene's POV)

Clemson walks back into the room with a huge idiotic smile across his face. "What are you so happy about?" I ask bored.

"Oh, I was just thinking about how evil I am. Mwahaha! After I eliminate those pesky penguins I will be able to kick Julian from his throne and I WILL be the new king of Madagascar!" Clemson replies enthusiastically. I roll my eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, that's great and all, but what does this have to do with me exactly?"

"Two things: one you're the perfect bait for Skipper, and two if Skipper and those other penguins don't come and rescue you, you'll make a lovely queen." I gag.

"I'm flattered, but Clemson, that's a big no. I will not be your queen not now, not ever."

"But, Marlene, think of it. You'd be royalty. We would rule Madagascar side by side."

"Uh, thanks, but no thanks."

"But why?" I shrug.

"I don't go out with evil villains. And, well, there is another reason..."

"You like him don't you?"

"Like who?"

"Julian." I gag once more. Me like Julian? Uh, no. It's too terrible to even think about.

"Um, no, I don't have feelings for Julian...not in that way anyway."

"Oh. Then who?" I cross my arms.

"Who I like is none of your business."

"Oh, be that way then. I'll be back. Maybe by then you'll have the sense to reconsider." Clemson walks out of the room frowning. Oh, Skipper. Please don't do anything rash.


(Skipper's POV)

The team and I quietly approach Clemson's habitat in the Hoboken Zoo. "Alright, men, on my signal we will enter." I say, they nod in reply. I make a motion. They don't move. I repeat the motion a few more times.

"Uh, Skippah, is that supposed to be the signal?" asks Private. I face-flipper myself.

"Just move in." I sigh. We slide into the habitat and go down a tunnel hidden under a fake rock in the evil lemur's habitat.


(Nobody's POV)

King Julian sits pouting on his throne. "I want my Petey back." he says. Maurice doesn't reply and continues to blend the smoothie that Julian had requested. "Maurice, let's go get my Petey."

"I don't think that's a good idea, your majesty." Maurice says.

"Of course it is being a good idea. It is a great idea! It's my idea...from my own head."

"I don't know, sir..."

"Stop being such a Party-pooper, Maurice." Maurice sighs.

"Alright, if you won't listen to reason, let's go." Julian jumps down from his throne and they head towards the penguin HQ. "This isn't going to end well." Maurice mutters quietly to himself.

"What was that, Maurice?"

"I didn't say anything, your grace."

"Oh. Okay, then." The two lemurs enter the penguin habitat (Mort was playing with his video game back at the lemur habitat). Maurice and Julian jump down through the fish-dish opening. They hear shouting but they don't see any penguins. Maurice knocks on a wall.

"Um, hello? Is anyone here?" Trixy opens up the door to Kowalski's lab. She is panting heavily and her normally pinned-up bangs have come loose of her feather-clip and are hanging down in her eyes.

"Hello, lemurs. Can I help you with something?" Trixy asks.

"I want my Petey." replies Julian.

"Petey? Who's that?" Trixy glances back behind her."Uh, please excuse me for just a moment." Trixy dashes back into the lab. "Cam, we do not put our playmates in the blendah. And we especially don't press puree while they are in it. Are you okay, Rusty?" Trixy takes Rusty out of the blender.

"I okay. I do it again?" Rusty replies.

"No, you may NOT do it again."

"Hehe! Look at me, I can fwy!" exclaims Cleo. Trixy looks up to see Cleo leap from atop one of Kowalski's inventions.

"Agh!" Trixy catches Cleo. "Cleo, we are penguins, we don't fly."

"Oh." Trixy turns around to see Ace about to stick his little flipper in an electrical outlet.

"No, no, no, Ace, we do not put our flippahs in powah-outlets." Trixy sticks a piece of duct-tape over the outlet. Maurice and Julian look into the room.

"Look at all the Peteys, Maurice." says Julian. "They can't all be belonging to her." Trixy waddles back over to them with Gracie clinging to her foot.

"What was it that you said you needed, Julian?" she asks.

"Uh, I need my Petey."

"What is a Petey exactly, Julian?" Maurice drags Julian away.

"Nothing that you need to worry about, Trixy. Um, we'll talk to you later. Bye." says Maurice pushing Julian out of the penguin habitat. Trixy stares after them scratching her in confusion.

"I wondah what the Buckingham that was all about." Trixy looks up at a clock. "Oh gosh, time for dinnah. This ought to be interesting."
