Operation Aye Aye Information was a go and the penguins were already on their way to the lemur habitat with the paper in rico's stomach. it was a saturday, so the zoo was closed for weekend and the zoo animals had time to move around during the day. it was about 8:20 am.
The penguins got to the lemur enclosure and peeked over the wall.
King Julien was still asleep on the boucy house because he always belived in beauty sleep and to him he needed to sleep in to about 9 am to keep himself handsome.
Mort was sitting in the corner of the enclosure drawing a picture, probably of King Julien (most likely of his feet)
The main focus was on Maurice though and he was sitting at the tiki bar gathering mangos for King Julien's breakfest smoothie.
The penguins hopped down the wall to the tiki bar where Maurice was.
"Maurice, we'd like you to come to our base so we can talk to you." Skipper said calmly.
Maurice gave the penguins a confused expression before saying "Uh do you think Julien caused you trouble, because its not him. Hes been asleep all night."
"It not about Ringtail-" Skipper said before be cut off by Maurice "Mort?" Maurice questioned.
"No not sad eyes. WE wanna talk to YOU" Skipper said leaning in towards Maurice. Maurice nodded and him and the penguins made their way back to the penguins home.
Once Maurice was in the base, Rico puked out a grey foldable chairs and a table were Maurice was sat at one end and the penguins at the other.
"D-did I do something to make you mad?" Maurice asked a bit frightened
"No not really" Skipper answered "Were just want the truth. We just what conformation.."
Skipper turned to Rico who was on the left of him "Rico, the paper."
Rico puked out a folded up piece of paper and handed to Skipper who then unfolded it and turned it around so Maurice could see what was on it.
it was King Juliens DNA test paper and the parents part was highlighted with pink highlighter.
As soon as Maurice eyes laided on the paper his eyes shrank.
"Anwsers" Skipper said in such a way it sounded not as though he asked but as he demanded.
"I-I dont k-know what that me-means" Maurice mumbled in an unconvicing tone.
"I know when your lieing, and if you whats good for you, you'll start talking truth." Skipper said.
Maurice sat for a moment sweating and thinking of what to do. All eyes in the room were on him and he could feel the pressure.
"Fine!" Maurice finally broke "Im King Juliens Father!!"
Silence in the room as the penguins stood there shocked.
All at once the penguins started to shout and yell at Maurice in such a way that you couldnt hear what they were saying.
"Please guys one at a time!" Maurice pleaded.
"But how?!" Skipper asked loudly "How old are you even?"
"Well in human years King Juliens 22 and im 45" Maurice answered embrassed at his age. "But Morts older!" He cried to make himself seem younger.
"it all adds up!" Kowalski said standing up and pulling out his notebook. "The ages adds up and the way you treat him adds up too! youve always treated Julien like a child! Because he was YOUR child! And better yet, this means my machine in not broken!"
Private stood up too "Youve been lieing to us the whole time?" Private said sadly.
"Whats the deal lemur?!" Skipper said standing up with Rico "Why lie?"
"listen guys-" Maurice said trying to calm ever body down "I h-had too!"
"But WHY!" Private shouted.
"Listen guys its almost nine and Juliens gonna be up soon, so I gotta go." Maurice said eager to leave.
"You gotta tell him Maurice!!" Private said.
"Why though?"
"Hes your best friend and your son he needs to know the truth!"
Maurice sratched his head "Ugh fine..I hope he doesnt take it too hard.."
