Sorry there isn't a lot going on in these chapters. It's necessary dialogue. :p Don't worry, things will get much more interesting soon.
Chapter 7: Explaining (part II)
Kowalski went on with his story. "And there is a rather dense and dark looking patch of deciduous trees. So Rico and I went one way and Skipper and Private went another way in search of the creature. So I was tracking the newcomer, and right above our craniums, we heard a rustling in the leaves."
Julien lifted his head. This was turning into an interesting story.
"We looked up with caution and saw-"
"Mangoes!" Mort clapped and laughed. "Did you see mangoes?"
"Quiet, Mort!" Julien shouted.
"We saw two bright green eyes." Kowalski continued. "They looked feline in shape, but they were not staring at us like a member of the felidae family would look at its prey."
Julien walked over to where Maurice was sitting and crouched down beside him, listening intently.
"Hummin', hummin'!" Rico reminded Kowalski.
"Oh, yes, right." Kowalski nodded. "What actually led us to her was the voice. Humming, actually, and a few words in an unknown language. We followed that, and that's when we saw the eyes. I asked if it had been she who was singing, and in the warmest, most pleasant voice to echo off of my eardrums, she said 'Yes'. And then Skipper started shouting to find us and it scared her. Eventually we persuaded her out and she knew all of these languages and she-"
"She was absolutely lovely!" Private declared. "And she seemed nice as well."
Rico wolf whistled again, for effect. Maurice and Julien's eyes grew wide.
"But what we first failed to notice was what she was." Skipper continued for Kowalski. "It's what befuddled us the most, and the reason why we asked you three in particular if you'd seen anything suspicious. She was a lemur, just like Ringtail, except colored like a fox, and more Kowalski's height, you know, shorter than Ringtail."
"But why was she in the park?" Maurice asked.
"That's what we're trying to figure out. She said she had never been inside a zoo." Skipper said. "Something about gypsies."
"Wait," Now Julien spoke, "You saw a woman out there?"
"Yep." Skipper looked to him. "And there was something overtly suspicious and alluring about her. And then, beneath that red cloak, she vanished! And she said she wasn't even from Madagascar, which according to Kowalski, is the only place your kind comes from. I don't trust her for a second. She's a witch, I tell you!"
"I already told you, she can't be a witch." Private pointed out.
"They can mess with your mind." Skipper tapped his temples. "Just like space squids."
"Uhm, I've got a feeling that the girl you described is neither one of those." Maurice decided.
"We would have noticed someone like that back in de Madagascar, eh, Maurice?" Julien smiled and nudged his friend.
