A.N.- I wanted to put some annoying lemurs into my story, so I did. I hope you like it. Oh yeah, and I have no clue what to write after this one, so please review me some ideas, if you will! I've gotten writers' block and can't come up with anything. I just need one idea to help me through the block and then I'll have some more chapters up. So, anyway, enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 4: Troubled Reading
(Nobody's POV)
Days 3-7
The rest of Trixy's week went along rather smoothly. Every morning she got up and trained with the men, and every afternoon she had had the afternoon off to do whatever. But that was the problem. As Private had said, some days there was nothing to do. During these four days she had cleaned her habitat about three times, played four games of chess with Private, two of which she won, and had been annoyed by Julian to the breaking point. Right now Trixy is sitting in the little cave in her habitat reading a book she had found in the lost and found. "Hello, Trixy penguin." Says a voice from behind her.
"Go away, Julian. I'm busy." Trixy replies not even looking up from her book. She was now starting to see why Private had been trying so hard to drag her away from her first conversation with the crazy lemur. Instead of leaving, Julian perches himself onto of Trixy's chair.
"Are you busy tonight?" he asks.
"Yes, like always, now go away."
"You don't look very busy. What would you be busy with other than spending some time with your kingly king?"
"That's classified, now go away. I'm trying to enjoy my book."
"How can you be enjoying that more than my own kingly company?" Trixy had just gotten to a very interesting part in the book and had started to ignore Julian. "Hello! I'm speaking to you! Why are you not listening to me, I order you to listen to me! I am the king!" Trixy looks up at him and says as coldly and calmly as possible.
"I'm warning you to get out now. If you don't, I'll kick you out myself."
"There will be no kicking out the King!" Trixy calmly puts down her book.
"Is that so?"
"Of course it is! I am the king and I am not to be going anywheres."
"We'll just have to see about that, won't we?" Trixy stands up and grabs Julian by his long banded tail. She then drags him over to the cave entrance.
"What are you doing, that's my kingly tail!" Julian tries holding on to random things trying hard to not get dragged away. Trixy stops and picks Julian up; she then soccer punts him out of her cave.
"And stay out!" she yells after him. She then waddles back into her cave and goes back to reading her book. It wasn't five minutes and he was back. Trixy, seeing Julian, puts down her book and hides. Julian walks in.
"Hello? Miss pretty penguin? Are you being here?" Julian wanders around the habitat and finally sits on top of Trixy's book which was in her chair. Trixy sneaks up behind the oblivious lemur.
"Boo!" she says. Julian jumps and runs out of the habitat.
"Agh! Ghost!" Trixy can't help but laugh at the naivety of the lemur. Trixy sits back down with her book. And of course, King Julian can't take the hint that his 'kingly' presence is not wanted, he comes back. He climbs back on top of the back of Trixy's chair. "Hello, again."
"Go. Away. Please!" Trixy says irritably.
"No." Trixy stands up and leaves Julian in her habitat. She waddles off the other penguin habitat.
"Skippah, may I borrow a rocket?"
"Why do you need one of those?" Skipper asks suspiciously.
"Just to launch away an annoyance. That's all."
"Would that annoyance happen to be a lemur?"
"Maybe."
"Alright. Rico! Give Trixy a lemur sized bottle rocket." Rico regurgitates one and hands it to her.
"Thank you." She then leaves to go back to her own habitat. Julian was still perched on top of her chair. "Hey, Julian. I have a very royal surprise for you; but you have to come outside my habitat to see it." He gets up and comes outside.
"Where is this royal surprise you are speaking of?" she shows him the rocket. "What am I supposed to be doing with that?"
"Have you evah dreamed that you could fly like a bird?"
"No, but now I am."
"Good. Well, this will allow you to. Just stand right there and I will attach it to you." Trixy then ties Julian to the rocket. "Okay, now don't move a muscle." Trixy backs up about three meters. "Three, two, one, blast off!" Trixy presses the ignition button and the rocket launches into the air. Trixy smiles as she listens to Julian's screams and walks back into her habitat to read her novel. Soon she hears something fall on the roof of her habitat. "He can't be back already, can her?" Within moments a dizzy King Julian walks dizzily into her habitat.
"I'm back."
"So I've noticed." Trixy sighs.
"Are you still busy, tonight?" Trixy had had enough. She had really wanted to finish her book and Julian's constant interruptions were making that goal impossible. Trixy then got an idea.
"Yes, but I may be able to bend my schedule a bit, if you'll come with me." Trixy gets back up and Julian follows her to the other penguin habitat. "Now, you'll have to be quiet. Understand?" Julian nods silently. "Good." She and the lemur sneak down into the penguin HQ and into Kowalski's lab. All of the male penguins were watching a movie and weren't paying them any attention. "Okay, now sit right ovah there." Trixy points to a strange looking chair. Julian sits in it.
"What are we to be doing?" he asks. Trixy walks over and pulls a strainer down onto his lemur head.
"We are playing a rather…shocking game. But, you'll need to take off your crown, first." Julian takes off the crown.
"Is it a kissing game? I like those."
"Um, maybe. Okay, now just close your eyes." Trixy finishes pulling the strainer down onto his head. She then waddles over to a switch and pulls it up. Julian is then shocked with a small bolt of electricity. He shakes a little and opens his eyes.
"Wow, what a kiss." Trixy face flippers herself.
"Well, that didn't work." She then picks up some rope and ties the lemur up and takes him back to his habitat. "Maurice, could you be as kind as to keep King Pain-in-the-Tail away from me. It would probably be in his best interest. Because if he interrupts me anymore today, he may not be physically able to do so evah again." Trixy then waddles back to her habitat and finishes her book. After she finishes it she goes to bed. "Hopefully tomorrow will be a lemur-free day. If it isn't, I fear I may go insane."
