FIRST thing first, I'm super sorry Horsexloverx for blowing off your review in the last chapter. *Feels bad* So forth, I will now give you a VIRTUAL SORRY CAKE! Ta Da! So, now that I feel better about that, I'm going to thank my awesome reviewers, Privateismine, and megeriffic! Thanks so much for reviewing and making meh feel happeh! Also, in this story, there is a Madagascar accent. :D I just wanna tell you all I love my reviewers (Not like love, rather love in that way that OMG YOU ARE SO AWESOME!)
Anyway, I wanna thank you for your advice. I've decided that I'm going to finish this story, and while writing this story, I'm going to write another story about a different OC that has no connection what so ever with this story. I don't know if that's the BEST idea... but I wanna do that, so yeah... :D
WE HAVE A SNOW DAY TODAY! It didn't really snow all that much, but they canceled school last night, so it all works out alright. I LOVE THE RARE SNOW DAY!
Random Fact of the Chapter That Has Nothing To Do With The Chapter: In Big Time Rush there is an environmentalist named Ed Begley Jr. In ICarly, the Greenweek Episode, the teacher has a calendar that has a picture of Ed Begley Jr. and says his name.
Disclaimer: I don't own The Penguins of Madagascar :B
People poured into the zoo gates. They had heard about the new otter.
"She's so cute!" Someone cried.
"Look at her eyes!" Another kid called.
"I love her fur!" A girl with light brown hair awwww'd over her.
There was a large crowd forming around the otter habitat. Sapphire sat there frozen.
"Sapph, what's wrong?" Marlene asked her.
"So. Many. People. Awwing. Over. Me," She sounded petrified.
"So? Didn't you have that at your old zoo?" Marlene replied.
"Yeah, but I was scared then too," She replied.
"There's nothing to be afraid, just hop in the water and act all silly," Marlene cheerily smiled.
"I can't," Sapphire said.
"Yeah you can, it's not that bad," Marlene said.
"I can't swim," She ashamedly admitted.
"What?" Marlene laughed, "Of course you can!"
"N-no, I never really learned," Sapphire teared up.
"It's never too late to learn!" She said dragging Sapphire into the shallow water.
"N-NO!" Sapphire cried.
"It's simple, just move your legs up and down, and then move your arms in large circles," She said, demonstrating it, "Now, you try"
"You mean kick your legs and froggy-fying your arms?" Sapphire asked timidly.
"S-sure," Marlene replied.
"I think I can do that," Sapphire dived into the water and attempted it.
"T-this is kinda fun," She said. After about eight hours of kids and adults 'awwing' over Sapphire, she managed to become a really good swimmer. The bell rang, and Alice shoved everyone out of the zoo.
"That was fun, thanks Marlene!" Sapphire said cheerily.
"No problem," Marlene replied.
"Hey, do you guys like watch movies and stuff?" Sapphire asked randomly.
"Not really," Marlene replied as they walked into the cave.
"Wanna?" She asked.
"We don't have any movies," Marlene sadly said.
"I have plenty!" Sapph smiled.
"No TV."
"Penguins have one,"
"They would never let us use it!"
"I think we can talk them into it," Sapphire smiled slyly and rummaged through her purse thing.
"Let's try," Marlene sighed and the two-some walked out.
Sapphire's POV
Marlene and I walked over to the penguin habitat. They weren't on the ice floe, so I figured that they were in their HQ. We walked up to the food dish and knocked it aside. I hopped down first, shortly followed by Marlene.
"'Sup guys?" I asked.
"What the deuce?" Skipper said.
"He-hello Skipper," Marlene stuttered.
"Marlene," He said.
"You guys wanna have a 'Mega Movie Night'?" I asked.
"What?" Skipper asked.
"I said, 'DO YOU WANNA HAVE A MEGA MOVIE NIGHT?'"I shouted.
"I heard you the first time, I meant what do you mean?" He said annoyed.
"Shoulda' said that. Anyway, I have a bunch of movies, do you wanna watch them? You see, we stay up all night and watch, eating food and laughing!" I said excitedly.
"No," Skipper said plainly.
"Aww c'mon Skippa, it seems like fun," Private cried.
"No Private," Skipper said.
"Gabahaba lacka?" Rico pled.
"No," Skipper said.
"Please Skipper?" Kowalski asked.
"Fine!" Skipper shouted, "Have it your way!"
"Yay!" I smiled.
The six of us sat down on their couch, Marlene sat next to Skipper, and Kowalski sat next to me.
"Pop in that movie and hit play!" I smiled. They popped in 'Happy Feet' first. We watched movie after movie, until it was about 3:00 A.M. Private, Rico and Marlene were all asleep. Marlene had fallen asleep on Skipper's shoulder, and it seemed like Skipper didn't mind.
Next thing to happen; Skipper nodded off, his head lightly laying on Marlene's. It was just Kowalski and I.
"Wanna watch this one?" I asked, holding up a horror movie.
"Sure," Kowalski said with a yawn. About half way through I looked over at Kowalski and he looked horrified. I was a bit scared to. The main character was just about to be slashed into pieces when suddenly…
"Hello silly penguins,"
I screamed. My scream made Kowalski scream, then Marlene, then Private, and lastly Rico. Skipper didn't scream, rather he hopped in action.
"Ringtail, what are you doing here?" He asked.
"What was that being?" King Julien asked, he probably couldn't hear over all the screaming.
"QUIET!" Skipper yelled. They all stopped screaming, but I kept on screaming.
"Sapphire!" Kowalski shouted at me. I stopped screaming, and looked at Julien.
"Sorry," I murmured.
"Anyway, what are you doing here Ringtail?"
"I was to be hearing screaming coming from here, so I came to be investigating," He replied triumphantly. The movie was still playing in the background. I turned around, realizing this was NOT a movie for Private, so I quickly flipped it off.
"That was the movie," Kowalski said.
"You are to being watching movie without me?" He demanded.
"Yup, that's pretty much it," I said, "Hey, the zoo is gonna be opening soon, we better be on our way Marlene," I said jumping over the back of the couch and walking out. Marlene followed close behind.
Marlene's POV
I don't really remember all that much of the night, I do, however, remember waking up screaming. Lucky me, I had Skipper there to help me. The crowd of people was about the same to come and see Sapph. It reminded me of my first couple of days.
"Why do people think otters are so interesting?" She asked me, as we were entertaining.
"It's cause you're new," I replied.
"Right," She said. We went on entertaining.
Kowalski's POV
Sapphire was making a big splash, metaphorically and literally. I quietly laughed to myself as I watched her and Marlene entertain the large crowd. I was so busy watching the two that I didn't hear Skipper tell us to do toe touches.
"Kowalski man!" I heard just before being slapped.
"Yes Skipper?" I asked rubbing my head.
"Toe touches, double time," He said sternly.
I began to touch my toes as fast as I could. We continued our exercises for the rest of the day. I kept sneaking peeks over at the otter habitat. It was finally closing time.
"Skippa' can we get snowcones?" Private asked.
"Sure Private," Skipper replied.
"Can we bring Sapph and Marlene?" I asked, it was worth a try. Skipper looked at me.
"No," He said flatly.
"But Skippa'!" Private begged.
"Nope," Skipper stood firmly.
"But Skipper, we could learn more about our specimen if we bring her along," I pointed out, I didn't like calling Sapphire a 'specimen' but I don't want Skipper to think anything.
"Huh, you're right," Skipper thought on the subject a bit more," Kowalski, go ask them"
I smiled and slid over to the girls' habitat.
"Hey, the guys and I are going to go get some snowcones, wanna come?" I asked.
Marlene looked at me like I was crazy, I had forgotten that she couldn't leave the zoo.
"No can do Kowalski," She said.
"I'll go! I love snowcones," Sapphire said walking up to me.
"Cool, let's go," I said waddling out with her. We soon arrived at the penguin habitat.
Sapphire's POV
"Sapphire is coming along," Kowalski said to Skipper.
"Great," I heard Skipper moan. I smirked.
We began walking to the snowcone stand. They guys were talking as though they had done this multiple times.
"I want a raspberry flavor!" Private chirped.
"Blue raspberry for me," Skipper said.
"Flabahara," Rico said.
"I'm getting orange!" Kowalski cried.
I looked over at them.
"I would suggest the rainbow, you get a dose of every flavor," Skipper said. I didn't know he was talking to me.
"Sapphire!" He called.
"What? Oh, me?" I said, surprised.
"The rainbow flavor is the best," Kowalski agreed.
"It is quite good!" Private smiled.
"O…kay," I said. When we walked up to the snowcone stand I looked over at them.
"How do we ord…" I stopped mid-sentence watching them knock the guy out and grab their snowcones.
"Here," Kowalski said, handing me my 'cone.
"Thanks," I said, licking at it.
"So, Sapphire, what's Cleveland like?" Skipper inquired.
"Boring," I lapped at my 'cone.
"Who did you hang out with?" He asked.
"Meh buddies, Nat, C-dog, Sash, Cone-dome, Oak, Big Red and 'bunch others," I said.
"That's a lot of friends Sapph," Private chirped.
"Thanks, I'm pretty popular at my zoo," I said.
"Yeah right," Skipper mumbled.
"What's the most interesting thing about Cleveland?" Kowalski asked.
"Um…" I thought for a moment," It's between the 'Lake View Cemetery' and the Beach"
"Interesting," Kowalski said.
"What about you guys?" I asked.
"What do you mean?" Skipper asked.
"What's the most fun thing in New York?" I said.
"The zoo is just about the only thing we do," Private said.
The rest of the walk was silent. We soon arrived back at the zoo.
"Thanks guys," I smiled.
"No problemo," Skipper replied.
They slid away back to the penguin habitat. I padded back to the otter habitat, well, tried. I got sidetracked by the royal pain.
"Well, hello my beautiful queen," He said.
"What do you want Julien?" I asked.
"I wanted to be knowing if you wanted to be coming back to my habitat to, share a smoothie?" He asked.
"No," I said attempting to get past him.
"Aw, come on," He said, stopping me.
I was irritated, "Move before I hurt you!"
"You would not be hurting your king," He smiled.
"Wanna bet?" I said.
"I'm not to be betting," He said.
"Good, than back off," I pushed him out of my way and onto the ground. He screamed like a teenage girl.
"That hurt!" He shouted. The penguins arrived seconds later.
"Hey dudes," I said.
"What did you do?" Skipper sounded as though I had killed the lemur, which I'm sure no one would care… but ya know.
"I pushed him out of my way," I stated, oh-matter-oh-factly.
"You can't go around hurting people," His voice got louder as it went.
"Tell it to him," I said, pointing at Julien.
"Why?" Skipper asked.
"He was harassing me," I shrugged.
Skipper looked back and forth between us. He sighed.
"Roll out men," He said. They all rolled out, literally.
I padded past the melodramatic 'king'.
"Hey Mars-Bar!" I shouted.
"Mars-Bar?" She asked.
"Yup," I smiled largely.
"Okay…" She said.
"I'm going to bed," I plopped down on my bed.
"Me too, good night," She said, lying on his bed.
"G'night," I yawned.
This is my epic failure of a chapter! I hope you all like it...
