When I woke up everyone was awake. Martha and Bella were talking. Anastasia, Hannah, and Vinisali were also talking to on one another. Mom and Dad were eating something. I yawned/roared, and got up then went outside. " Hey Gertrude." Uncle Alex greeted me. " Hello Uncle Alex. Where's Gia?" I asked. Because usually she is with him. He shrugged. " She is probably with the cubs by the trapeze swings." He said. Then he just realized what he said along with what he saw. " Wait! No! Gia! They aren't ready! They could get hurt! Nooooo!" He yelled as he ran off to the Trapeze swings. I went along with him. " Gia they aren't ready! I don't want little squashed cubs on the ground!" He yelled. " Alex, calm down. I trust them and they are adolescents," Alex was about to say something; Then Gia raised her paw, " Therefore I trust them. If you don't like it then...well...Get over it. OK?" She asked. " Ya, we are old enough to try something new. Plus there is a net so...Why not?" Annabell said. Uncle Alex looked at them. Not satisfied with what they said, he crossed his arms. " Fine, let's see what you got hotshots!" He said to his cubs in a sort of competitive way.

I sat and watched them. Bree showed up. " Ello Mate!" She said in an Australian tone. " Hi." I replied. She sat with me as we watched the trapeze family. Uncle Alex did 5 flips and then grabbed the next swing just to do 5 more flips then land on the platform on the other side of the set. Annabell huffed. She, Taly, and Alexandria all jumped off the platform they were on. Annabell caught the swing as Taly and Alexandria grabbed a hold of Annabell. She flipped twice on the swing as Alexandria flipped to the next along with Taly following her shortly. Alexandria grabbed the next swing and Taly did 6 flips more than Alex did and landed on the other platform. Alexandria landed on his front paws and Annabell did a dance like twirl and ballerina twist, and finally landed on top of Alexandria's head. Gia smiled and Alex's jaw dropped. " Who's not young fro this now?" Annabell laughed. Then she flipped backwards and landed on the net, followed by Alexandria and Taly. " THAT WAS AMAZING!" Alex said as he hugged all of them. " I know what are next act is going to be, Gia." He said as he looked at her. " Well, um, I was wanting to dance." " And I was wanting to do the same." Alexandria and Taly said. Then Annabell came in. " And I was thinking that their should be more fights in the circus." As she said that, she passed Alex and smirked.

" Looks like I'm better than you are at Trapeze. And it was my first try." Vinisali then yelled. " OOOOOHHHHHH! You just got told by your daughter! Ha!" Uncle Alex glared at him. Vinisali quickly disappeared. I then got up and yelled. " It is Story time so if you want to hear the rest of the story then get over here!" Then a flood of animals ran towards me. I freaked out hid behind Bree. When everyone sat down and settled, I got out from behind her. " Ok...Ap looked up from...

...His slumber. Gertrude was already awake. " Good morning Gertrude." Ap said. He noticed she was more pale than usual. Not saying that, because she was already white. But her eyes and stripes were dull. They didn't have their vibrant, exciting color. " Are you ok Gertrude?" Ap asked. " Gertrude looked at him droopy. She had bags under her eyes and she was sad. " No...I hurt my father. Now he'll never forgive me. I hurt him. I cut open his hand. How will he forgive me?" She barely said. " Oh don't worry. I'm sure he will forgive you." Ap tried to cheer her up. " But I wasn't the one under control. He was. I knew what I was doing. He didn't." Ap looked at her with sympathy in his eyes. He went over to her and hugged her. She started to cry. " It is ok..." He said. Then he let go and since no one else was awake and it was early in the morning, both went back to bed.

Hours pass and Gertrude woke up. She went outside and made a fire with the little strength she had. She had lost a lot of blood in her arm. " Gertrude what are you doing?" App yelled as he ran to her. He grabbed the wood in her arms. " You can't carry the wood. Look at your arm. It is cut open. You lost a lot of Blood and your colorless. You look like your about to faint." Gertrude didn't really hear most of the sentence. She felt light headed. " Ap...put the wood down. Pu the wood do-" Then she fell to the ground. Her eyes went to the back of her head. " Gertrude!" Ap yelled. " Skipper!" He yelled as the penguin appeared. " What Mr. Snow?" Skipper asked. The other penguins showed up. " Gertrude has lost a lot of blood. You need to get her to the nearest animal hospital or something... Someplace with blood to give. Ok? She needs the blood because her body won't make enough blood in time before she dies. And I can tell you this: When that knife hit her there was some type of liquid on the knife. It looked green. That liquid stuff must have gotten into her blood stream and is eating the red blood cells as we speak. So you need to hurry!" Ap said. Skipper then clapped his flippers. " Rico, Find a bed like item. Kowalski, look for any type of animal hospital with blood to give. Private, stick with me. Disperse!" And with that the penguins left to do what they were told. " You! Mr. Snow. You grabbed the mother look-a-like and let's put her on a bed. Then we will get to the closest hospital there is." With that being said. Ap grabbed Gertrude and followed Skipper.

Meanwhile, With Gia and the others.

Gia was sitting in a fancy chair, on top of gold, inside one of the pyramids. " Ugh. This isn't much fun anymore. Where is a handsome servant male when you need him." Gia said.( Still Cleo.) She looked around at her male servants so far. A lion, a tiger, a white spotted leopard, and a zebra. 'Which one should I mess with first.' Sh thought. Her eyes fixed on the Lion. " You there! Lion! Come forth and state your name." Alex came forth to her. " My name is Alex, My Queen. You may change it if you want. I don't have the right to disobey orders." Gia sighed. " Ugh! Your just like everyone else. Always with the same attitude. You need to change it right now! But not so much that you still disobey me!" Cleo was not having anymore fun at all. " Let's play a game then." Cleo said.

30 minutes later...

" What are we playing?" Cleo asked. " What ever you are My Queen." Alex said. " You know what! Stop! Stop it with the My Queen! It is very annoying. Now can someone please tell me whe-" Cleo was cut by something. It was Ap. He had found out where Cleo had been hiding. Plus it wasn't hard based on Cleopatra's tomb is in the Pyramid they were in. And the secret passage way. " Alex! Hypnotize him!" Then Alex went over to Ap and did the swirly hypno thing they did. But then Ap put on a pair of Sunglasses. " No es bueno!" Ap yelled. His sunglasses stopped him being hypnotized. Alex growled. " Are those sunglasses?" Gia asked. Ap nodded. " Ya. You like them?" Gia nodded. " You want a pair?" Ap asked. " Sure." Then Ap gave her the sunglasses he had on. Which was pretty stupid. " Thank you. Now you realize what you have just done right?" Cleo asked. Ap looked around. " Gosh Darnet!" He yelled. " So I guess this is where I run and you TRY to catch me right?" Gia nodded. Then Ap started to sprint towards the doorway. Gia snapped her fingers and Alex, Vitaly, Jack, and Marty ran to him. Obliviously they caught him. But Gia didn't want to hypnotize him. He was funny and she needed entertainment. " Ok, so I will be not mean and not hypnotize you. You see these animals? I need entertainment. So, by me not making you my slave you will do what you do best. You are my Funny person. When I as, you will be funny and make these jokes of yours. Understand?" Ap sighed in defeat. " Fine." Gia smiled in victory. Ap was now her comedian. She was happy. For now...
