The twins sat on their sleeping bags. Playing a game of tennis. Confused? It's not the tennis you're thinking of. They held each others left hands, facing each other. Now the objective of this game is to slap the other person's hand so hard that they pull away. The penguins had no idea what was going on, so they watched in interest. Tera slapped her sisters hand so hard it left a giant red mark. Brenna bit her lip.
"You're not winning this time sis." Brenna sneered. She slapped her sisters hand. Tera whimpered. She stared intently into Brenna's eyes.
"I don't think so." Tera said. She slapped Brenna's hand so hard she screamed and retracted her hand.
"You win!" Brenna shouted as she frantically shook her hand. Tera smiled.
"I always do." Tera said.
"Sounds interesting. How about you play a match against me?" Skipper asked.
"No offense Skipper, but Tera would kick your butt." Brenna said.
"I don't no, Skipper's been none for slapping." Private said. Skipper slapped him.
"Am not." Skipper said.
"C'mon, one little game wouldn't hurt Tera." Kowalski said. "Or would it."
"Fine." Tera said. She extended her left and. Skipper's flipper wrapped around it.
"Show him what your made of Tera." Brenna cheered.
"Your move girly." Skipper said. Tera smiled. She slapped his flipper as hard as she could. Skipper cringed. "Not bad." Skipper then gave it all he got. Tera's jaw dropped.
"OW!" Tera screamed. She yanked her hand away. The penguins congratulated their leader.
"Oh my god, you actually won." Brenna said.
"It burns!" Tera shouted as she rubbed her hand.
"Rico, ice her." Skipper said. Rico barfed out an ice block. Tera grabbed it and rubbed it on her hand.
"If I wasn't in so much pain i'd be really grossed out." Tera said.
"Congrats amigo." Brenna said as she gave him a high five.
"Well troops, I think we should call it a night." Skipper said. The penguins groaned.
"Just a little longer." Private begged.
"Please Skipper." Kowalski added.
"Please....Please..!" Rico cried.
"Skipper's probably right guys." Brenna said. Tera nodded, still in pain.
"You heard me, in bed. All of ya." Skipper said. The penguins sadly walked to their bunks while the twins hopped into their sleeping bags. The girls instantly fell asleep. Brenna awoke to the bubbling of chemicals. She looked around and saw Kowalski. He was standing over his lab table. He placed a lock of red hair into one bottle, and another lock into another. She stared at him. He poured a liquid into the bottles. One turned blue and the other brown.
"Interesting." Kowalski whispered to himself. "Skipper, could you get me a nail clipping?" Skipper and Private walked up to the girls. They slowly picked up one of their hands. Before they could clip a nail her and Tera shot up.
"What are you doing?" Brenna asked.
"Umm......uh........" Kowalski started.
"Kowalski over here is studying twins and needed DNA samples." Skipper explained.
"You know, there's a little thing called asking." Tera told him.
"You didn't have to start cutting off parts of our body in our sleep!" Brenna said.
"I'm sorry girls. Kowalski just wanted to learn more about twins." Private said.
"Sorry." Rico said.
"It's alright. Now, let's get back to bed." Brenna said.
"You two know you sing in your sleep." Private said.
"Really?" They asked.
"You girls sing pretty darn good." Skipper said.
"Thanks Skipper. Oh and by the way. if any of you touch my nails you'll be very sorry." Tera warned. They all went back to bed. A few minutes after they laid in silence Tera shot right up.
"Brenna, the paper." Tera stated.
"What paper?" Brenna asked.
"The reason why auntie Alice let us stay here." Tera said.
"Oh my god." Brenna stated.
"What's the problem?" Skipper asked.
"Alice thinks we're writing an essay on lemurs." Tera said.
"And that we'll be done in the morning." Brenna said.
"Uh oh." Rico said.
"Men operation A+ Alice." Skipper said. The group trudged towards the lemur habitat. Julian was the first to wake up. Syd05641 1hr 7min ago "Maurice, de angels have returned to the land of the royal king. Come, let us welcome them with the shaking of our tails!" Julian said excitedly. The lemurs quickly walked over to the fence to meet the twins.
"Julian." Brenna said.
"Ah! Have you accepted my marriage proposal?" Julian asked.
"Marriage proposal?" The penguins asked. Well when Rico said it it sounded like 'warrige jomoso?'
"Long story." Tera said.
"Julian, we need your help." Brenna said.
"Oh, if you need the dresses for our most glorious ceremony, Maurice is all over that." Julian said.
"No, we need help with a report on lemurs." Brenna said.
"Well, you'll learn all you need to know after our marriage. It shall be most happiest of days." Julian said. "Maurice, take a note. I want a summer wedding. With pineapples and on the beach. As the sky spirits set beneath the flowing waters of our love." The twins looked at each other.
"Right away your majesty." Maurice said.
"Red headed queens forever!" Mort shouted.
"We're not marrying you!" Tera shouted. Julian's face dropped.
"Why Tera?" Brenna asked.
"He was gonna find out eventually. Julian. We are sixteen. Way to young to get married." Tera said.
"But we could begin the royal courtship." Julian said.
"Julian, we are two different species. It would never work." Brenna said.
"Of course it would work out you silly girls. The sky spirits have told me so." Julian said.
"Fine, let's settle this. I challenge you to a dance off! If we win, you help us with our report. You win, we marry you." Tera said. Brenna slapped her sister.
"I accept! No one can shake their booty like I can." Julian said.
"Excuse us." Brenna said. The girls and the penguins headed towards a corner.
"Are you crazy blue eyes? That deal is way to risky. Besides, ringtail can dance." Skipper said.
"I panicked. It was the only thing I could think of." Tera said.
"Well now we're going to hafta go through with this!" Brenna said.
"Who is going to judge this anyway?" Private asked.
"Well the lemurs would vote for Julian no matter what." Kowalski said.
"And so would we." Skipper said. "Kowalski, options."
"We need to find the most impartial judge we can find." Kowalski said. Soon enough Julian and the girls stood in the lemur exhibit. The entire zoo should up to watch the dance off. Mason and Phil stood in the center. The penguins explaining their job to them.
"So you want us to judge the dance off?" Mason asked.
"Exactly simians. You have to be as impartial as possible." Skipper said. Kowalski nudged Mason.
"I'll give you a banana if you let the twins win." Kowalski whispered.
"KOWALSKI!" Skipper shouted. "They're chimps not chumps. They're gonna want more then one banana."
"Alright then. The Lemurs will go first." Mason announced. The twins and chimps stepped back.
"Maurice, press the play button on the boomy boom box." Julian said. Soon the music started playing. Julian burst into robotic break dancing and, let's just say some pretty good moves.
"We're doomed to a life raising Human-lemur babies." Brenna complained.
"Just chill Bren." Tera said.
"I will not just chill Ter. My life is crumbling before my eyes with ever electric noodle." Brenna argued. After a few minutes the song was over. The animals applauded.
"Are you ready for this?" Tera asked.
"Nope." Brenna said. The lemurs stepped aside.
"Good luck my fiery angels. May the sky spirits let you lose." Julian said. The twins stepped forward.
"Kowalski........hit it." Tera said. Lose my breath by destiny's child burst out of the speakers. But it was just music, no lyrics.
"Kowalski status report." Skipper commanded.
"I must have downloaded the wrong version of the song." Kowalski said. That's when Private got an idea. He quickly rushed back to HQ. He pulled out an old microphone and rushed back. The girls were trying to fix the boom box. The animals were whispering among themselves. They were so dead.
"Folks, we're having some technical difficulties." Brenna said. That's when Private came back.
"Girls, catch." Private shouted. Tera caught it.
"You want us to sing?" Tera asked.
"It's the only way." Private said.
"I don't know." Brenna said.
"Okay, it's either this or that." Skipper said as he pointed to Julian. He winked at her.
"Hit me!" Tera shouted into the microphone. Kowalski hit the play button. "Can you keep up? Baby boy, make me lose my breath. Bring the noise, make me lose my breath Hit me Hard, make me lose my (Hah Hah)" Tera and Brenna sang. The chorus really got the girls in the mood. Brenna took the microphone.
"OOOh I put it right there, made it easy for you to get to. Now you wanna act like ya don't know what to do. After I done everything that you asked me Grabbed you, grind you, liked you, tried you. Moved so fast baby now I can't find you. OOOh. I'm startin' to believe that I'm way too much for you. All that talk but it seems like it can't come through. All them lies like you could satisfy me, Now I see where believing you got me Gave you the wheel, but you can't drive me." Brenna sang. The animals were now boogeying to the beat. They sung the chorus together. Tera took the microphone.
"Two things I don't like when I tryin' to get my groove. Is a partna that meets me only half way and just can't prove. Take me out so deep when you know you can't swim. Need a lifeguard and I need protection. So put it on me deep in the right direction. OOOh. You understand the facts that I'm tryin' to give to you. You movin' so slow like you just don't have a clue. Didn't mama teach you to give affection?
You're the difference of a man and an adolescent. It ain you boo, so get tha steppin'" Tera sang. They sung the chorus a couple more times.
"If you can't make me say OOO. Like the beat of this drum. Why you ask for some and you really want none. If you can't make me say OOO. Like the beat of this groove." They sung together. "You don't have no business in this here's your papers Baby you are dismissed, dismissed, dismissed, dismissed, dismissed, dismissed, dismissed." They finished with the chorus and a split. They animals burst into applause.
"Wow. Now that was some kingly booty shaking." Julian said.
"I think we have a winner." Mason said. Phil signed in agreement.
"Aww, Phil, you're so sweet!" Tera said.
"Oh no! I have lost my queens. The only thing I ever loved." Julian said.
"What about me!" Mort shouted as he hugged Julian's foot.
"Not the feet you annoying little monkey!" Julian said as he shook him off. Brenna stood up from the split.
"We had a deal." Brenna said.
"Pay up." Tera said.
"Ter. You can get up now." Brenna said.
"No, I can't." Tera said. Brenna rolled her eyes and helped Tera up.
"Alright alright. Maurice, give them a list of everything they need to know." Julian said. Tera signed over to Phil asking him to write for Maurice.
"You realize my dear that he can hear you right?" Mason asked.
"I know, but it's funner this way." Tera said. Another adventure for the singing, dancing, animal talking red headed twins of New York.
