Lemur Habitat

(Skipper's POV)

We found ourselves back on deck in the lemur habitat surrounded by tiki's and tikitorches. Julian throne stood on a platform made of cargocrates above us bathed in the light of the fire. Julian was sitting on his throne wearing his ceremonial crown. It looked similer to his "curse-breaking crown". "what is this about," Marlene said. Maurice blew the horn of Maurice shutting us all up. "Welcome loyal subjects," Julian said while jungle-drums filled the air, "The Honor the skyspirits ceremony shall now begin!" "Oh great," I said. "how much you wanna bet that the ceremony will be exactly like the curse-breaking ceremony!"

TRIAL ONE

"You will now be put through several trials…The Trials of the Skyspirits!" Julian said. "Trial one!" Julian said, "The trampling of a thousand rhinos!" "wha?" Marlene said. Roy appeared and trampled all of us. "Um….small problem we only have one rhino…so you shall do it a thousand times!" "Oh come on now!" Kowalski said. "I know," rico said.

TRIAL TWO

"Oh I'm going to feel that tomorrow," Kowalski said. "I think I have internal bleeding…wait…false alarm," I said. "Next," Julian said, "is the trampling of a thousand elephants!" "What!" Marlene said. "I am so sorry about this," burt said as he trampled everyone. "disclaim we could only find one elephants…so you will have to do this a thousand times too…"

TRIAL THREE

"You all succeeded in this trial!" Julian said, "sorry about the extra elephant tramplings…I lost count." "Next!" Julian said, "is the Trampling of the city bus," Julian said, "don't worry you only have to do this one." "Citybus?" Marlene said, "where would julian get a…" A Bus ran us over beeping the graveyard eight song as it did so. "The bus called graveyard eight!' Kowalski sang, "ow."

TRIAL FOUR

"Okay," Julian said, "next challenge is the trail of tears…You must carry the heavy things and whistle while you do it!" Mort, Maurice, The gorillas, roger, and mooncat all had heavy things. "don't worry you don't all have to do it," Julian said, "only one can do it…Pico!" "Rico!' we all shouted. "why me?" rico said. "do you want to get recursed?" Julian said. Rico quickly got into position at the front of the trail. Rico started whistling as heavy objects got placed in his hands. He was doing fine until he reached mort. "Oh no," Rico said as Mort threw a heavy washing machine into his arms.

TRIAL FIVE

"The Trail of tears 2!" Julian said, "Rico must juggle while being repeatedly slapped by the fishes!" Rico walked past and got slapped with fish. Rico tried to rush past Mort only for Mort to threw a huge fish at him from behind knocking him out. "could these get any worst?"

TRIAL SIX

"Trial by wind!" Julian shouted as huge fans blew us around. "Ringtail!" I shouted. "this is actually kind of fun!" Private shouted. "Put us down Julian!" Marlene said. "egad!" mason shouted.

TRIAL SEVEN

"Trial by fire!" Julian shouted. "Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!" Private said. "I like it hot! Hot! Hot!" Julian shouted. "I say!" Mason said. "Blimey!" Private said, "turn this thing off!" "but it's just getting started!" "I think I have 1 degree burns!" Kowalski shouted. "Just you wait until Julianuary is over!" Marlene shouted, "You will pay for this!"

TRIAL EIGHT

"Trial by Water!" Julian shouted. We were all attached to special rigs that contiuously dunk us into the water. "This is inhumane!" Marlene shouted, "this is like waterboarding!" "Oh I been waterboarded," I said, "trust me…it's much worst." "fine than it like's Chinese water Toture!" "No this is nothing like that,' I said. "Let me guess you experienced that too," Marlene said. "In a POW camp," I replied.

Ceremony conclusion

"congratulations you passed all the trials!" Julian said. Julian looked up at the sky, "And see that cloud," Julian said, "that means the skyspirits our honored!" "And that rainbow over there means that they are pleased with the ceremony!" "we'll just take your word for it," I muttered. "Now we shall have nothing but good luck next year!" Julian said. "anything else?" mason said. "And that approaching snowcloud means that their put in a good word for us," Julian said. "With who?" I said. "My friends the watergods," Julian said. "We are not taking you to Africa," I said. "Yes you are!" Julian said. "I don't think so!" I said. I got hit by a bolt of lighting. "are there no such thing as skyspirits now?" Julian asked. I looked up toward the sky, "Alright! We'll take him!" "You not serious," Kowalski said. "Mr. Kowalski ready the Superplane," I said. "aye sir," Kowalski replied.
