Yay, chapter five!
Chapter 5: Trouble with Lemurs.
As the humans left the zoo, Julian went over to the penguins' habitat. He stopped when he saw Ace, in Skipper's flippers.
"Petey!" he cried. "You have come back!" He rushed over to the penguins, and grabbed Ace. Ace stared at him, confused.
"Ringtail!" Skipper shouted. "Give him back!"
"Oh no, you are not to be taking Petey away from me again, you silly penguins," Julian squeezed the chick. "He is so CUTE!" He bounded out of the habitat, taking Ace along with him.
"We have to get him back, before Julian hurts him!" Private gasped. "He doesn't know how fragile real babies are!"
"Men, commence Operation: Stop That Annoying Nusense Known as Julian!" Skipper barked, and the penguins almost jumped off the island, when Private stopped them.
"Skippah?"
"What?"
Private pointed to Skipper's flippers. He looked down, and remembered Cam.
"Oh, right, uh," he thought for a moment. "Private, you're to stay here, and baby sit Cam!"
"Aye aye, sir," Private saluted, and took the fluffy bundle out Skipper's flippers.
Skipper and the other two leaped out of the habitat and landed on a wall. They belly slid along it and flipped off. They landed behind a rubbish bin, and Skipper motioned for them to split up, and surround the perimeter. Kowalski went left, Rico went left, and Skipper went centre. He signalled for them to wait.
Julian sat on his throne, still holding poor Ace, who was almost crying. Julian didn't notice the small tears rolling down his cheeks, until he felt wet on his paws.
"Ugh," he complained. "This baby is leaky. Maurice!" said lemur was at his side in a flash. "Get this baby cleaned up. He is all wet."
Maurice held the chick in his paws. "What do ya want me to do with him?"
"Get a diaper on him, or something. I do not care!"
Maurice hurried off. When he realised the baby WASN'T wet, just crying, he brought him back to Julian.
"He's only crying, your majesty," he explained. "Nothing else."
Julian took Ace from Maurice's paws. "Why is he to be crying? I am King Julian. No-one will be crying around me!" he scolded Ace, who stared at him, confused. He stared at him blankly for a moment, and then burst out crying. Julian held him at arms length, almost panicking.
"MAURICE! This silly, baby penguin is broken! He is crying when I am the king, and no-one is to be crying around me!"
"Your majesty," Maurice said. "Why not just take him back to the penguins? He DOES belong to them."
"No! Petey will not be taken from me again!"
"That was SKIPPER turned into baby!"
"Do not be silly, Maurice," Julian laughed, holding Ace closer to his chest. "I will just sing Petey a song, and he will stop crying." He placed Ace on the smoothie bar table.
"Are you sure that's such a…?"
"Rock a-bye Petey, in the tree-tops. When the wind blows, the Julian will rock. When the bough breaks, the Julian will fall, and down will come Julian, Julian and all!"
Ace stopped crying and stared at the strange animal, singing weird songs about something called a Julian. He blinked, and Julian and Maurice thought they had succeeded, until he started to cry again.
"NO! I cannot be handling this anymore!" Julian cried.
Then suddenly, two penguins, Skipper and Rico, to be exact, sprang in top of him and Maurice, while Kowalski picked up Ace, and left the habitat.
Julian pushed Skipper and Rico off of him, and looked frantically around for Ace.
"Petey? Where have you gone?" he yelled. "You are being lost. Do not being worrying. I will find you!" he got down on his hands and knees and began to search the habitat. Skipper, Rico and Maurice stared at him.
"He's lost it, Rico," Skipper sighed, and the two of them leapt out of the habitat.
I had a lot of fun, writing this particular chapter. It was so funny, IMO. I had a blast. Hope you liked it, and please review! XD
