"We are meant to be together, you know." The king said, petting his hairy queen's head as they rode down the streets of the Vatican City.
The bear didn't respond. Sonya only pedaled her tricycle forward, making a right turn at an intersection of a path.
"Sonya?" King Julien called, trying to get her attention. He wasn't able to as they just kept riding down the street. The lemur king frowned. He had noticed his love's distance from him lately.
They turned down the street of Piazza San Pietro, 00120 Città del Vaticano. The couple passed by a beautiful colossal structure like that of the late Renaissance. It was none other than the St. Peter's Basilica church located within Vatican City. Not that they knew that. What did he know of geography?
He didn't see a famous landmark in front of them. What the king saw was a place resembling a palace. A palace fit for royalty. His queen deserved nothing but the best.
"In there, my love. Let us explore our hearts in our new summer palace I've picked out." Julien pointed and they rode into the golden and white structure.
How disappointing it was when he found out this palace was already taken by some gown wearing freak. He did have a nice ring though. Everybody there was kissing upon it. It was very gold and flashy.
So naturally he went up to pay his respects to the holy man as well, kissing the royal ring with wonder before sucking it off into his mouth and casually walking away. No one noticed this as the furry mammal couple left the church.
Once they were outside he popped the ring out of his maw with a grin. "Ha ha!"
This would do his girlfriend justice. Not justice for that man he stole it from but who cared about that guy.
Julien slipped the ring onto Sonya's fat and hairy finger. Her expression didn't change but he knew she loved her gift.
More strolling around Rome took place and eventually they found themselves at the Temple of Saturnus and Vespasianus. He didn't get what the big deal about it was. It was just a bunch of crumpling pillars and pointless columns that held up nothing.
They sat together on the steps, side by side leaning into each other. Or really he was just leaning against her prickly fur on her fatty side and she was sitting upright not paying him any attention, just looking out forward at the monuments.
The lemur king closed his eyes and sighed. He was in love, so much in love with this woman by his side. Nothing could separate them he thought as he snuggled alongside her.
"Oh Sonya, my one true love, let this never end…" King Julien mumbled breathlessly against her fish smelling fur.
But as he ran his hands through her stomach fur, Sonya took notice of the black and white wheels on her trike. It reminded her of penguin feathers and she roared for the first time in approval of the whole time they've been on their date.
The king thought the roar was for him and he latched onto her tighter, never wanting to let go.
Sonya roared again, but this time in annoyance. She got up and began walking away from her small lemur boyfriend.
"What's wrong, my love? Have I offended you?" King Julien watched her get up with a frown.
As it turns out, the bear had a bad itch that needed to be taken care of. Sonya found a column and leaned her back up against it, grinding her back against the pillar to put her itch at ease.
The lemur got up and followed her, putting his own back against the crumbling column and scratching his own spine against it. It felt good. "Oh yeah, this is feeling nice! Nice job, my hairy queen!" he praised her for her findings and resourcefulness but she just ignored him, continuing to relieve her back.
Julien found his itch relieved quickly and hopped down, taking his love by the paw and leading her away, the pillars tipping over behind her weight and taking every other one down with it, leaving it in a ruined heap. It wasn't really a big deal. Most of it was in ruins before they got there so they had no concern as they left another historical landmark in shambles in their wake.
Passing by the St. Peter's Basilica again on the trike, doves flew around them in the shape of a heart as the king danced on the handlebars in happiness. The king turned around on the bike to face the bear, grabbing her face and pulling it closer to his own.
"I want to kiss every inch of your huge head!" King Julien proclaimed and lowered his voice huskily as started to place a kiss to her lips. "It may take me a number of weeks…"
He was seconds from claiming his girlfriend's lips before they were sent unceremoniously tumbling down a dusty flight of stairs. The next thing they knew they were on the ground, the king squished under pounds and pounds of thick fat and fur.
Sonya sat up and looked around frowning as she noticed her destroyed bike.
Underneath her as he was once again allowed to breath, Julien was smiling at how close they had gotten.
"That was heaven." Julien grinned and just then noticed the whimpering of his lover. "Don't cry! Stop crying! It makes me cry to see you cry, my darling! I will get you something even better!" He bit his lip in anticipation, smiling as he had an idea. Only the best for his queen!
It was easier than he thought to trade in that old ring for a new and bigger bike for his beloved. The ring had tasted like knuckle
"Hey you can buy love!" King Julien said as they exited the motorcycle shop, his hairy queen more than eager to start riding the new bike pressed full gas on the pedal. "Whoa! Not so fast!"
They rode through the Vatican city, wildly and freely, doing wheelies on top of tables and people's cars. The lemur had never felt more alive than he had felt with Sonya.
Many days later they heard in the news of the same owner of that Ducati motorcycle shop being arrested for stealing the pope's signature ring. Sometimes you could never tell what evil lurks inside of people you've only met once in your life and for only a few moments. But as the radio report on those penguins' radio ended, the king only had one question: Eh, what's a pope?
