The Sky Spirits: Chapter 3
(This chapter is where it starts to get a little bit of a slash story, but it originally was supposed to be a slash story anyway :3 Nothing really serious though)
The cold air brushed past Julien's fur. He heard the Sky Spirits talking around him, but they refused to waste their time revealing themselves if the penguin didn't show up. He's not coming, we're wasting our time, a PENGUIN, they aren't even mammals how could one possibly understand the beliefs of lemurs. The Sky Spirit's doubted everything that the lemur was trying to do. "He's going to come he has to come…" Julien prayed. He was possibly putting everything about his relationship with the Sky Spirits to prove Kowalski wrong… but was that the only reason he was doing it? Of course why else would he be doing it? Why did he care so much if Kowalski showed up or not?
"Hey Julien." A voice said. Julien turned around. "Kowalski!" Kowalski smirked. "I- I mean… smarty penguin… yeah you showed up…. Ok." The smirk didn't leave the penguins face until a few more seconds. "I came… but only because I wanted to prove science right!" Now Julien was smirking, behind Kowalski was a Sky Spirit. In full form. "Hello Kowalski" someone said, "AH!" Kowalski turned around, and fell backwards landing awkwardly in Juliens arms. Quickly removing himself, leaving a laughing Julien. Kowalski faced what he saw. It was a golden lemur, with blazing golden eyes. "Many of the other Sky Spirits doubted you would show up." Kowalski stuttered, "you're a- you're a-"Julien placed a paw around Kowalski's shoulder, "he's a Sky Spirit SILLY penguin." Slowly removing himself from the lemurs hold. Kowalski looked at the strangely colored lemur again. "I am Sun. The leader of the Sky Spirits… Sky!" A female lemur with fur the color of the sky appeared. "So you are Kowalski" She said, "I'm Sky, I help Sun lead the Sky Spirits" Kowalski thought for a moment. "Is there a Sky Spirit for everything in the sky?" Sun smiled, "why yes, there is, you are smart aren't you?" Julien felt himself smile. Tonight was going exactly as planned.
…
The Sky Spirits faded away. Kowalski was amazed and baffled at them. His mind whirled with fascination as he lay in the grass. Julien gazed up at the stars, then looked at Kowalski. The penguin was smiling, and his feathers glistened under the night sky. "Julien." He said. "Yeah" The lemur replied. "I'm sorry." A bit of guilt crossed the penguins face, and Julien realized a look of confusion had crossed his. "About what?" "About doubting you. About the Sky Spirits, like they had doubted I would show up." Julien laughed, "No need to apologize, I am KING I can forgive and forget." The penguin looked at him with a shy smile, " I guess I let my anger take hold of me. You see, the music that started when you were dancing startled me, and I messed up my invention…" Julien sat up. " Is that the thing you were talking about when you called me a… dunce. For ruining you molecu- trans- whatever you said…." Kowalski blushed. "Yeah… sorry about that." Julien motioned for Kowalski to sit up too. "No… I believe I should be… even though I am KING… sorry… for causing you to break the … invention" Julien thought a little bit. "Maybe I could… help you… RE-invent it?" Kowalski looked at Julien oddly. "You- you mean… you want to HELP me?" Julien was about to reply when Kowalski looked at the sky. It was getting brighter, SKIPPER WOULD BE UP ANY MINUTE! Kowalski got up, "I have to go! Skipper will wonder where I was all night, and- are you sure about that whole, I can't tell anyone?" "YES!" "Ok… then I have to go VERY quickly!" Julien grabbed his arm before he ran off. "But, can I help you… maybe some time?" Kowalski paused and smiled. "Maybe you could come to the HQ… tomorrow… tell…. Tell Skipper I needed lemur DNA for a project or something… if you really want to…" Julien nodded briefly. Kowalski smiled slowly, "see you at 4…" Kowalski slid off, the smile still lingering on his beak. Julien sat on the grass a little while longer. He smiled, now… what to tell Maurice and Mort…
