The Sky Spirits: Chapter 1

(Don't be freaked out near the end, this IS supposed to be a fantasy ;3)

Julien was annoyed at the penguin, but he tried to seem like he had it under control. "You dare challenge the king?" Private sipped his juice nervously, and Rico waited to see Kowalski take a wack at Julien patiently. "Now Julien, lets not get all our feathers in a bundle" Skipper pleaded, "No." Kowalski said, "you know how you always say Skipper, let's see how this plays out." Kowalski himself was beginning to enjoy this. "MORT, MAURICE!" Julien called. The two lemurs came on command as usual. "Tell this SMARTY penguin, that the sky spirits are real.", "the Sky Spirits are real." The two lemurs replied. Kowalski wasn't satisfied. "Those lemurs will tell you anything you want them to tell you Julien, you could say that aliens were coming and they would believe you" Maurice looked taken back, "oh no, this isn't fake, the Sky Spirits really are real!" "What?" Private cut in, "You too Maurice?" "I'm SERIOUS!" Maurice replied. "You silly billy penguins think your all so smart" Said Julien, "You know what? I CAN prove it!" Skipper decided to reply this time, "oh really? You don't SAY?" Skipper's sarcasm was torture to the lemur, he was not going to have his kingly authority, and not to mention his buff muscularity, challenged by a smarty penguin, and his flat-headed leader. "Be at the park at 10, I will prove to you that Sky Spirits do exist!" The lemurs turned tail and left. Kowalski took out his notepad and scribbled equations down. Well… there's a 1.67% chance this WONT waste our time. "I say we go, we can get snowcones on the way back!" Private said, "SNOWCONES!" Rico clapped. "Fine" Skipper said, "we'll go."

The penguins made their way over to the park. The lemurs were there waiting. " Do you see?" Julien said. The penguins looked around. "What?" Private asked. "The Sky Spirits are all around us! They Come out at night!" Kowalski leaned closer to Skipper, "Mega Kooka-MON-doooo…." Skipper smiled, the lemur did seem a bit kooky. Maurice frowned, "you can only see them if you think they're there!" he explained. Rico and Kowalski exchanged a confused look. "Kowalski, I think that's another 5 minutes we'll never get back." The penguins were off before Julien could reply. But before Private left he couldn't help but stare at a tree. One particular tree. He looked closer, and closer. The leaves had fallen to the ground, and if you looked, if you looked very closely at the tree, you may have seen the lemur. The lemur was partially faded, with fur the color of the sky. "PRIVATE!" Skipper called. The lemur winked, and was gone. Private returned to his group. "They're not fake…." He whispered.

"THEY'RE NOT FAKE!" Julien cried. Calm yourself Julien a Sky Spirit said. "They didn't believe it, so they didn't see them" Maurice said, "just let them think their right, it's not like it even matters!" Julien thought back to the smarty penguin, and his only excuse is the SKY SPIRITS told him too. "No." Julien said, "I must prove it to them, at least to the smarty one." Mort curled his tail around his small body, "But there's only one way to do that!" Julien looked over to the small mouse lemur. "It must be done, the lemurs belief mustn't be challenged. He faced the Sky Spirits. You realize that if the one who you show tells ANYONE else who didn't believe, you will not be looked upon with kindness from the sky spirits any longer. The head Sky Spirit warned. "Yes" Julien said, when he sees I will make him swear not to tell anyone who doesn't already, know." And that he is the ONLY one you will be able to show. We do not take full form to prove a point more then once. "Yes" Julien said, "I want to show him, he has challenged me directly. I will show the smarty penguin." Who? The Sky Spirit did not take kindly to nick names, "I will show the one they call Kowalski, he will be here tomorrow night, alone."
