Chapter 3: Brunch Menu
Blowhole was on his segway following the map. He observed his surrounding around him, noticing that he was already a bit outside of New York. It was a cold waste land, with many shrubs all around. It was nearly day-break, so Blowhole smelled the moisture of the air. He hid behind many buildings, dumpsters, and etc. to not be noticed. Luckily, his plan worked.
He glanced at the map again, giving him the directions to go out further from New York. But, not too far. Just on the outskirts. He continued to follow the directions, now just leading straight, since he was no longer in New York much. Yet, the male dolphin made many glances around him in suspicion. To make sure that this wasn't a trap.
"Hey, you!" came a thick male voice.
Blowhole snapped to the source to see a Military Macaw. It had a gold-shield shape badge, which read, S.W.A.T.
"What's your name, dolphin?" asked the Macaw in order.
Blowhole narrowed his eye a bit, but smirked. "Well, I am, Dr. Blowhole!"
"Is he on the list?" asked the Macaw to no one in particular.
Well, that's what Blowhole thought.
"Yes, sir!" came a high-pitch male voice next to Blowhole.
The male dolphin fixed his vision to the source besides himself. Only to see a skunk, with a bronze badge, but had the same letters, S.W.A.T. Blowhole blinked to himself. When did the skunk enter the picture?
The Macaw smirked. "Good, good. No intruders so far. Alright, you know what to do, Charles."
"Yes, Mr. Morgan." replied Charles, as he moved a shrub to the side.
Blowhole was a bit confused and cocked his head a bit. "What do you mean, you know what to do?"
Morgan smiled. "You'll see..."
Suddenly, Blowhole was knocked off his segway in a flash and the dolphin fell to the earth's soil. "Hey! This is a scam!" angered Blowhole.
The macaw and skunk didn't pay attention to Blowhole and they pushed him to where the shrub was before. Blowhole didn't have time to react, and discovered that the shrub was covering a huge hole. The male dolphin fell into it, but soon discovered something else. The hole was more of a slide to whatever he was going.
Blowhole was then develop into darkness, and only felt the smooth soil underneath him. He made sure he was sliding on his stomach, so he won't injure his dorsal fin or anything. Then, he felt air beneath him, and he fell with a short scream.
THUD
"Ow..."
Lights then flickered in front of Blowhole. "Huh?"
"Oops! I put the cushion on the wrong tunnel. Sorry about that." came a female teenage voice.
Blowhole adjusted his eyes to see a young female crow. She had piercing green eyes, and golden legs. That were different than other crows than he seen. She held a flash-light in front of his face.
"Where am I?" questioned the male dolphin in confusion.
"In a cave." answered the crow.
Blowhole observed around him, and saw only darkness, but noticed that there were tunnels everywhere. Even from the ceilings, it was as if it were a massive hive.
The female crow moved Blowhole a top of the cushion, that was similar to a mattress. "Hope you feel comfortable! You will be dragged to the city, probably."
"Susan, no need for that." came the thick voice of Mr. Morgan.
Blowhole turned to the source to see the macaw coming down with his wings flapping rapidly to hold the weight of the segway. "This is tiring." heaved Morgan. He placed the segway gently in front of Blowhole. "There you go."
Charles slid down from the tunnel and landed gracefully unlike the male dolphin. "Heh, this wouldn't even break a sweat to Vince."
"Charles, what did I say? Never call him Vince! We must pay our respects and call him our Officer." Morgan snapped to the skunk.
"But, he seems fine with it." mumbled Charles nervously.
Morgan huffed and let the matter slide. He fixed his gaze at Blowhole. "We better help you get on your machine." Morgan helped Blowhole go back on his segway. The male dolphin blinked of all this conspiracy that is taking place.
"Okay, look, I'm here fo-" Blowhole was cut short by Susan.
"We know. You are here to be the new cooking teacher at the university. Or, at least, try out" smiled the crow.
Blowhole was about to say that he was going to see if this was a scam or not, but kept his mouth shut. The city is becoming more realistic, and he must find out what potential this city could hold. Perhaps it would be an advantage.
"Just lead the way." smiled Blowhole, though it seemed fake.
They head off to one of the tunnels in front of them. While Morgan and Charles followed behind Blowhole and Susan.
When they had reached the end of that tunnel.
Blowhole widen his eye in awe.
"Skippah, are you sure we're almost there?"
"According to Kowalski, yes."
"I'm just following the map." stated Kowalski.
The four penguins were in the outskirts of New York. It was past day-break, but it was still a cold morning. Around them were many shrubs, but other than that, it was just a wasteland.
"Huh? Ere's othin bu shrubs!" Rico concluded.
Private sighed. "You're right. There really is nothing but shrub. Perhaps this was a scam." the young penguin downcast his eyes in disappointment and depression.
Skipper patted Private's back gently. "There, there, solider. I know you were excited to have your dream job. But, don't you think it was hard to believe that there is an animal-"
"Vacation!" came a Madagascar accent voice, who cut off Skipper.
The penguins went into their fighting positions and turned towards the source. The site was what surprised them.
Raymond, Tanya, was holding bags of equipment or any other necessity, and both were overload carrying the objects of what they assume is, the royal luggage. For King Julien and Mia were sitting down on their duo thrones, and underneath them was a platform, which Mort and Maurice were carrying the royal couple. On the right side of them stood Kyle and Naomi. The left side was Erik and Kelsi. Each carrying a bag of their own.
"What are you guys doing here?" asked Skipper in shock.
"Vacation!" grinned Julien.
"What vacation do you speak of?" asked Kowalski as he took out his clipboard after elbowing Rico.
Raymond set some luggage down. "It's not much of vacation. It's more of an invitation." the male lemur unzipped a bag and grabbed the invintation letter, he then handed to Kowalski.
The tallest penguin scanned it. "It appears to be similar to Private's Just with his name."
"I got one too. That's why I'm here." Erik intruded as he held the letter in his claws.
"Same here." added Kyle, as he took out the letter from his bag, and held it in his jaws.
Kowalski reached each letter, and scanned it as well. "I don't know if this is a scam, or the animal that wrote this was just too ignorant to do a different wording. Then again, it is printed and not in hand-writing. Perhaps this is a business ordeal, that needs a chef. But, it can be a trick too."
"Who cares? Just as long, me, the king, enjoys the stay." Julien interuppted, with a paw on his chest and quirked eye-brows.
Rico was drifting off from the conversation, but heard another noise from a shrub near by. He slowly went his way over there, as everyone else was arguing behind him. Then popped out a green scale alligator. Rico jumped back and went into fighting position, but dropped his guard of who the alligator was.
"Hey, Rico!" came the chirpy voice of Roger.
The shrub rustled again, and out came Marlene, Max, Amber, and another otter that Rico didn't recognize.
The other group noticed the new group.
"What are you guys doing here?" questioned Private.
Skipper immediately slid towards the new otter. "And, who are you?"
The male otter blinked. "I'm Tristan. Nice to meet you."
"He's my cousin." smiled Marlene.
Skipper narrowed his eyes and Tristan. "How do you know he's not a spy sent by Dr. Blowhole?"
"Who?" Tristan quirked an eye-brow.
Marlene sighed. "Just some made up enemy that Skipper keeps talking about."
"He's real alright! And, PURE EVIL if I may add." Skipper snapped at Marlene, then switched his vision to Tristan. "But, you should already know, since you work for him!"
"Okay, look, I'm not a spy. Besides, if I was, I wouldn't be working for a guy with a lame name. I mean, seriously? Dr. Blowhole? That's not really creative." Tristan crossed his arms.
"I'm still watching you." Skipper replied with narrow eyes.
"May I ask where you came from?" questioned Kowalski to the male otter.
"California. Just like my cousin Marlene." smiled Tristan.
Erik flew next to Marlene. "But, what are you guys doing here?"
Max answered before Marlene could. "Roger got an invitation, and we decided to tag along."
"You too?" asked Naomi.
Roger smiled with a nod. "Yep. And, I can't wait to try out!"
Mia smirked. "Then, what are we waiting for? Lets go!"
Maurice heaved. "Can we rest just a little while?" he was still holding the platform up with Mort, who's legs were shaking of the load.
Julien sighed. "Fine. Just don't be a whiny baby." he and Mia jumped off. Then Mort and Maurice set the platform down.
"Finally." Maurice sighed of relief as he cracked his back. Mort sat down with a sigh.
"Anyway, me and the boys concluded that this was all a sc-" Skipper was cut off again by a thick male voice.
"Good, you all came in the same time. More of a load off for me."
Skipper growled. "Can't I ever finish my statements?"
Everyone turned towards the source to see a military macaw and a skunk.
"Names." ordered the Macaw.
"Roger." smiled the alligator.
"Max."
"Amber."
"Marlene."
"Tristan."
"Kyle."
"Naomi."
"Erik!.
"Kelsi."
"I'm King Julien the 13th!"
"Mia."
"Raymond..."
"Tanya."
"Maurice."
"Mort!"
"Private."
Skipper glared at his recruit. "Private! We are not to reveal anything without knowing them first!"
"Kowalski."
Skipper fixed his vision to the tallest penguin with a glare.
"Sorry, Skipper. But, we can't make any conclusions without more evidence. For now, we should go with the flow." Kowalski stated.
Skipper sighed. "Skipper."
"Rico." rasped out the Mohawk penguin.
"Charles?" asked the macaw.
"Only five are on the list. Which are Private, Roger, Kyle, Raymond, and Erik." stated the skunk.
Roger intruded. "Excuse me, but the letter stated that we can bring anyone as long they are trustworthy. And,...these are the animals we trust."
The macaw, or Morgan, nodded as if he already knew. "Alright." he fixed his vision on Charles. "You know what to do."
"Wait, what?" Skipper questioned in suspicion.
Charles moved the shrub aside to reveal a hole that lead to darkness.
"I suggest the alligator goes first." suggested Morgan.
Roger shrugged. "Well, here goes nothing."
"Roger, wait!" Raymond warned. But, the reptile already jumped in, and had a short scream.
"Good thing I'm a bat." smiled Erik. Then Kelsi and Erik flew down.
Morgan took a glance at each individual. "Alright, the wolves go next."
Kelsi flew back up with a smile. "Don't worry guys, it isn't a trap."
"How do we know you're just not brainwashed?" Skipper encountered.
The female bat blinked with boredom. "I'm not."
"I'll trust her." concluded Kyle with a smirk. He soon dived in the hole with a cheer. Naomi soon joined him.
The lemurs went in next, after confirming Julien that the skunk and macaw will take care of the 'royal luggage'. Raymond was hesitant, but went in, including Tanya. The otters and cats went in next, though Skipper pulled Marlene back.
"Skipper, what are you doing?" questioned Marlene, as her cousin and cats already took a drive.
"Let me go first." Skipper answered. Before the female otter said anything, Skipper took a leap in as his whole team went with him.
Last ones out was Marlene and Kelsi.
"It's okay, Marlene!" shouted the voice of Skipper in the tunnel. "It's no trap!"
Marlene blinked. "Weird."
Kelsi smirked as if she already knew. "Come, Marlene, they're waiting for us." the female bat went down, as Marlene followed her.
The female otter felt she was on a slide as she went down, as darkness was around her. Soon, she no longer felt the soil of the earth, but air and then comfort underneath. She blinked her eyes, as a flashlight flicker in front of her.
"Marlene, are you alright?" came the voice of her cousin.
"I'm fine." answered Marlene.
The female otter felt a flipper help her up. That's when she realized there was a mattress underneath her, and the animal who helped her up was none other than the commanding officer of the penguins.
Marlene got off the mattress as Morgan and Charles came down from the tunnel with the luggage.
Charles sighed. "That was a lot of luggage..."
"Of course, it's royalty." smirked Mia.
The animals gazed around and realized there was tunnels everywhere, including the ceilings. It was similar to a hive.
"Amazing..." whispered and trailed Kowalski.
Susan smiled. "Yep. Come along, everyone. Time to go to the city."
As Morgan and Charles carried the bags, and platform of the royal couple, though Mia and Julien weren't on it. They all followed Susan to a particular tunnle. It was dark and felt damp, but they started to hear other movements deep within this tunnel, soon they saw a light ahead.
"Is...this really real?" questioned Naomi to herself.
"I'm starting to think so." whispered Kyle, as the light brightened through out, as if it were the glowing sun.
Skipper was still cautious, but couldn't help be entranced to the wondrous light.
Julien and Mia smiled at the glow.
Kowalski had a huge grin, excited to see what's beyond the bright source.
Private smiled as he went faster.
Rico had a smirk, and having his mind wonder of what lies beyond it.
Raymond blinked of the whole ordeal.
Tanya smiled a bit of the events that was taking place.
Roger couldn't help but smile, as he felt warmth develop him from the light as they go near.
Max and Amber went more foreward, and squinted to see something of what looks like buildings in the light.
Marlene and Tristan started to witness movements of the beyond lighting.
Maurice and Mort were in wonders of what the light could mean, or what lies beyond it as well.
Soon, they reached the light fully, and stepped out of the tunnel, to see what truly lied beyond, and to see if this was a scam or not.
This was no scam.
The newcomers dropped their jaw/beaks in awe as what lies before them.
It was indeed a city, but still had many fauna scattered around, especially in a certain area that was similar to a forest, yet a park. The buildings were huge as New York, and there was a bulb stacked up high, playing the role of the sun. The buildings were unique in their own special way. Different designs, if you will. Birds flew over these buildings, as the cave was way up high. The newcomers had no idea of how deep they are in the underground.
"Skipper...I concluded this is no scam." Kowalski stated in awestruck.
"I totally see that." Skipper responded, just in awe.
Susan, Morgan, and Charles couldn't help but smile of their reactions. Like the dolphin.
"Come, follow us. We need you guys to get in the community center of New Spire. There you would get your introduction." came the voice of Morgan, as the newcomers shook their head to regain focus.
"Of course." smiled Raymond nervously.
They soon head out to the center, following the macaw, skunk, and crow.
Not knowing who else was waiting there.
"Here we are!" announced Charles with a smile.
In front of them was a massive building that was built up high. It was similar to the worshipping house of the Greek gods, but there was no stautes of them. They head inside to see clear marble floors.
"Outstanding!" shrieked Kowalski of pure joy.
Private smiled at his comrade, and agreed. "It sure is! And, just think. There was another society that we didn't even know. It's so amazing!"
Rico gazed around with a wild grin. But, frowned and gasped of who he saw. "Skip!" rasped out Rico in alert.
"Yeah?" Skipper turned to his solider, but stopped dead of who Rico was pointing at.
There stood Blowhole on his segway, who was gazing outside and glancing at random animals walking through the window. The dolphin couldn't help but smile as he was astounded. "No humans? This is paradise!"
"Blowhole!" yelled Skipper.
The male dolphin widen his eye when hearing the voice, and slowly turned to face him. The penguins were in fighting positions.
The other animals were confused. Except Julien. "Hey, Blowy!"
"He's real?" asked Marlene in shock.
"It appears so." Tristan answered.
Skipper narrowed his eyes in fury. "I don't know how the hake you got here! But, I'm taking you down!"
The penguins slid towards him in a flash, as Blowhole was ready to fight them off.
But, someone came between them.
"Roger, get out of the way!" Skipper ordered as the penguins stopped to not hit Roger.
"You can't just hurt an innocent being!" Roger encountered with worry.
Blowhole blinked. "What?"
"Roger, you don't understand. He's pure evil! With the skin that is surprisingly pleasant to the touch." Private smiled at the last statement.
Blowhole grinned as he crossed his flippers. "Always make time to moisturize."
"Anyway, move out of the way! So, we can destroy him once and for all!" Skipper shouted as he clenched his flipper.
Rico hacked up a crowbar for his weapon of choice.
"But, it's wrong to hurt others! Besides, maybe he's not evil but just has a trouble mind." Roger explained.
Blowhole snarled. "Excuse me, Roger is it? I have no trouble mind, preppy! You're just being an idiot!"
"Wow...that hurt." Roger sniffed.
Skipper was about to move forward, with his team to beat up Blowhole, and perhaps once and for all. But, Roger did the unthinkable.
"Perhaps you didn't have much love in your childhood." responded Roger, deep in thought.
Blowhole widen his eye. "Say, what now?"
"That's probably it. All you want is attention and nurture." the alligator concluded with a wide smile.
The next thing Blowhole knew, Roger came over to him and gave him a REALLY tight hug. Blowhole tried to break free, by using his tail to kick Roger or something. But, the alligator had a tight grip.
"GET OFF!" yelled Blowhole in fury.
The penguins were shocked, but that soon turned into laughter. The other animals soon followed, except Roger and Blowhole.
"Not until you you feel love." smiled Roger as he gave Blowhole a comforting hug, though it wasn't to Blowhole. To the dolphin, it was TORTURE.
There was only one way out of this.
"Uh...Yes. I feel the love now, that..." Blowhole shivered, "my...parents refused to give...let go now."
This was enough for Roger and he let the dolphin go with a smile. Blowhole fell to the floor, though Roger helped him up on the segway.
Roger fixed his vision to the laughing group of animals. Skipper was the most volume.
"See? All he needed was love." Roger concluded with paws on his hips. But, behind the alligator was the a dark scowling Blowhole, who was about to push a button on his segway, aiming Roger.
Erik saw this and was about to stop Blowhole, but someone else beat him to it.
An eagle swooped down and knocked Blowhole off his segway again, then the eagle flapped it's wings in front of Blowhole with a frown. "That's a warning, Bottle-nose." it's voice was tough and male.
Blowhole blinked in surprise then frowned deeper. The eagle flew up and was soon in front of the other animals.
They observed him curiously.
The eagle was male definitely. He had grey feathers, and a masculinity stature. He also included a scar going across his right eye. The male eagle had a bright gold badge and a blue cap with the style of the human police's hat, the badge read, Officer.
The eagle appeared dead serious. "Greetings, newcomers. I'm sure you are happy to come here, but I warn you. No funny business!." the eagle snapped his whole vision on Blowhole, who was helped by Roger to get back on his segway. The eagle narrowed his eyes. "I'm watching you, Bottle-nose!"
Skipper smirked. "Ha!"
"You too!" snapped the male eagle to Skipper.
Julien smiled. "Hello, birdy! What is to be being your name? So, the king, which is me, can address you as my servant."
"I am NO servant to a lemur. I'm a servant to justice." the eagle declared with a wing on his chest.
Marlene smiled in greeting. "Hi, my name's Marlene. Sorry for Julien. He's a good guy...Just...a little up there, you know?"
"I'll let it slide...for now." the eagle replied, then gazed back up to the other animals. "I'm Vincent, and I'm the chief of police. But, I take care of other matters as well."
"Other matters?" questioned Kowalski, with his clip-board still in his flippers. Before, he let Rico ingest it, but he blurched back out when Vincent came along.
"Yes. I take care of other forces such as the S.W.A.T. team and so on." Vincent answered.
Kowalski nodded in understanding and scribbled some notes. That's when the tallest penguin of the four noticed that Susan, Morgan, and Charles were no longer here. But, he just ignored that fact for now.
An another male voice was then heard.
"Hello, strangers! Welcome to New Spire!"
The animals snapped towards the source, and the womens' breath was taken of his charming looks. They would have sworn they heard music.
The man is tall, mad, mean, and good-lookin'
And he's got me his eye
When he looks at me, I go weak at the knees
He's got me going like no other guy
Who stood there was a raccoon. "The name's Dante." smirked the raccoon.
The girls let the music play in their minds
Cause he's my big, bad, handsome man
He's got me in the palm of his hand
He's the Devil Divine, I'm so glad that he's mine
Cause he's my big, bad, handsome man
Dante gave a flirtatious smile towards Marlene. The otter blushed in reply.
Oh, the music he plays, the way he moves me and sways
Rocks me to the core
When he sings in my ear, he makes me shiver and leer
Leaves me wanting more and more
The male raccoon then switched his gears towards Tanya, who blinked and smiled nervously.
Cause he's my big, bad, handsome man
He's got me in the palm of his hand
He's the Devil Divine, I'm so glad that he's mine
'Cause he's my big, bad, handsome man
Dante made his way over to Kelsi. "Hello, good-looking. How you enjoying the city? I'm hoping it's good, so I can see your smile."
Kelsi giggled.
Mia smiled towards Dante as well, who took notice. "My, aren't you lovely? I could have sworn I was looking at a princess."
The female lemur, giggled in reply.
With his rugged good looks yeah he's got me hooked
Got me where he wants me to be
With his arms so wide, he pulls me in by his side
He's the kind of guy that does it for me
"And, you are?" smirked Dante to Naomi.
Naomi blushed and smiled sheepishly. "N-Naomi."
"Well, I hope to see you more." smiled Dante of seduction.
Naomi felt her heart beating.
Cause he's my big bad handsome man yeah
He's got me in the palm of his hand
He's the devil divine, I'm so glad that he's mine
Cause he's my big bad handsome man
Ouuuw
My big bad handsome man, yea
He's got me in the palm of his hand
He's the devil divine, I'm so glad that he's mine
Cause he's my big bad
I'm so glad that he's my big bad handsome man
Dante winked at them.
The women sighed dreamily.
The men glared at Dante, who gave them a smile, as if he already knew.
The some who didn't react to Dante in the wrong way was Tristan, Vincent, Maurice, Mort, Roger, Private, Rico, Kowalski, and Blowhole. Vincent rolled his eyes, while the other mention names were confused.
Though, Kowalski then smiled. "Tell me, how was a wonderful society were created?"
Dante seemed to ignore him and smirked towards Marlene. "What's a fine creature like you joining the rest of these animals? Why not I take you out to dinner?"
Marlene blinked and blush at the raccoon. Dante had grey fur, with a white chest up front, his mask was a faded black, same with his tail, which had dark white rings. His eyes were a dazzling blue.
"Heh, well..." Marlene trailed with a deeper blush. Dante was in front of her with a flirtatious smile.
Skipper ruined the moment as he went between the two animals. "She's not interested."
"Whoa, didn't know she was your girlfriend." Dante smirked while holding his paws up as to indicate he was backing off.
Marlene narrowed her eyes. "He isn't my boyfriend."
"Though, he seems like it." whispered Tristan with a smirk. When he met the leader penguin, he felt a vibe going on between his cousin and penguin. This made him smile of his cousin finally having someone.
"Then that dinner offer is still up." smirked Dante.
"Dante, why are you even here?" asked Vincent. "Aren't you suppose to be in the restaurant?"
"I'm on break, brother." responded the raccoon with a wave of his paw. "Besides, I wanted to get to know the newcomers." he smiled towards Marlene and the rest of the females.
All of them blushed.
Raymond whispered to Kyle. "Looks like you're not the only flirt-er now."
Kyle narrowed his eyes as if he was accepting the challenge. "We'll see about that."
Erik chuckle at his brother.
Kowalski did catch something odd though. "Wait, brother?"
Vincent nodded as did Dante. "Yes."
"Now, how is that possible?" questioned Blowhole.
"Our mother was a bat, our dad was a raccoon, but our grandmother was an eagle." answered Vincent.
Erik smiled. "Sounds something similar to us, right guys?" he asked his brothers Kyle and Raymond.
The nodded in response with a smile.
Kowalski wrote their answers down with a smirk.
"So, is that a yes?" asked Dante to Marlene.
Skipper intruded. "You can't take her out! Look at her." he pointed with a flipper, "she's too naive and innocent."
Marlene widen her eyes then narrowed. "Is that how you think, Skipper? Well, then I WILL take that offer!"
Dante smiled.
"WHAT?" Skipper shrieked.
Dante wrapped his arm around Skipper. "Don't worry, nothing bad will happen. I'll take care of her."
Skipper growled. He didn't like this raccoon one bit. He shook him off.
Marlene smiled of Skipper's response.
Vincent straightened up. "Alright, now that we know some of the greetings, let make another announcement. My brother, Eli, the one who insisted of you all coming here in the first place, is waiting for you in the university. He will give the rest of the details with his partner, Ellie. Now, I've also noticed that you are not very sociable towards that dolphin." he pointed to Blowhole, "I do NOT want any fighting going on. If I catch ANY of you fighting one another in this city, I assure there will be consequences."
"What kind of consequences?" gulped Private.
"Making you leave and forgetting the city kind." responded Vincent.
Private shivered. "Oh, dear."
The other animals nodded in understanding. But, the other penguins now were a bit angry of not getting Blowhole, who smirked towards them in tease.
"Sorry, pen-gu-ins. You can't get me!" he laughed.
Skipper narrowed his eyes but kept quiet.
"Leave all your belongings here and some escorts will take them to the hotel where you all will be staying. Though, the males and females will be seperated in two different hotels." Vincent explained.
They all agreed and followed Vicent to the university.
FLASHBACK
"We need a new cook, Eli." came the voice of Ellie.
Both her and her business partner, Eli were walking down the halls to the conference room to gather some files.
Eli the bat smiled warmly. "Of course and I know where to find some."
"Where?" asked Ellie with curiosity.
"Outside our city." Eli then grinned.
The animals who were walking by gasped when overhearing that.
Ellie blinked from surprise.
END OF FLASHBACK
The female armadillo remembered that moment. After calming the other animals down, her and Eli talked about it. Ellie soon grew to the idea and accepted the fact that the newcomers were to arrive.
Her, Eli, and her friend Kikiania were waiting outside the university entrance.
Kikiania, or just Kiki, was a keel billed toucan. Her feathers was mostly jet black, but the beginning of her chest was cream-yellow feathers, that continue to go up until it reach the mid of her forehead, which circled back down to her chest. Her legs were a mid-blue, while her beak is green and light blue, with a red tip of her beak. The tip of her tail was red. She had sparkly blue eyes with long eyelashes.
Ellie wanted her friend and room-mate Kiki to be here, so she can meet new animals. Same as her other friend and room-mate Rachel, but she was running late for the moment. Ellie knew that Kiki was nervous around others that she didn't know. But, perhaps newcomers will brigthen things up. Kiki may have been the head librarian at the city's library, but Kiki never really got to know the citizens personally. Nor did she ever opened up to them.
"This seems more like a business matter, are you sure you want me here?" asked Kiki, which brought her heavy Brazilian accent.
Eli smiled at his friend. "Of course, mon amie."
Kiki nodded with a sigh, for she was a little nervous. Ellie patted her back gently. "Don't worry, I'm sure they're nice."
"I guess so." replied the toucan.
Ellie smiled gently, as did Eli. Both hoping that Kiki would open up more to others.
That's when they heard Vincent's voice. "We're here."
Eli, Kiki, and Ellie snapped to the source and saw the group of animals.
The male bat grinned. "A lot more than I expected, but more the merrier!"
Kiki took a step back.
Kowalski noticed her and smiled. He never met a keel billed toucan before. There are usually found in the south of the globe. Nor do they have any in Central Park Zoo. He was always enchanted with their bright colors, distribution, and ecology. Now, he has the chance to meet one personally.
Ellie smiled at the newcomers. "Welcome to the city!" she then waved her hand to the building behind them, "This here is the university, 'Education of Amalia'. Now, I, Eli, and Kiki shall give you th-" she stopped dead when her eyes landed fully on the tall dolphin, Blowhole.
The female armadillo felt her heart beating faster.
Blowhole kept his eyes on her, for he was waiting for her to finish whatever statement.
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Ellie smiled nervously at him. While he appeared bored.
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Eli glanced at his friend, Ellie. "Um...Ellie?"
Ellie seemed to ignore him.
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your skin of silver
And starlight in your eyes of brown.
"Ellie?" asked Kiki as she shook her friend a bit.
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Blowhole quirked his head in confusion.
Dante got the idea of what was going on, and couldn't stop snickering. "Ellie?"
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your skin of silver
And starlight in your eyes of brown.
Private was getting the similar idea as Dante, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Ellie continued to stare at Blowhole into his eyes...or eye.
The male dolphin was tapping on his segway from boredom.
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Just like me (Just like me)
They long to be
Close to you.
"ELLIE!" screamed Vincent.
"Wha?" she blinked.
Everyone was staring at her in confusion. Except Private and Dante, who were slightly snickering.
"Um...right." Ellie blushed. "Perhaps we should head inside...and give you the details then."
But, everything ceased when there was a scream in the back of the university. Yet, they couldn't understand what the scream said.
"Hey, where's Julien?" asked Tanya, as she glanced around.
"Or, Maurice, Rico and Mort." concluded Raymond when they were gone as well.
Everyone ran to the back of the university, except Blowhole was taking his time.
Ellie watched him a bit longer, as she stood still.
Wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Hahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Lahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
As the song in her head ended, she sighed from irritation. "Oh, boy..."
She then followed the others.
In the back of the university Julien was holding his face in pain.
There were fountains scattered, with different designs. There was also a garden of plants, and water cans were placed next to the garden.
When the animals got there, Mia ran to Julien in worry. Mort was besides his king, as was Maurice.
"What happened here?" asked Eli.
Maurice answered. "The rabbit happened."
"What? Wait...where is this rabbit and what did he/she look like?" asked Vincent. Demanding answers.
"Sorry, guys. But, he did deserve it." came a female voice.
Everyone looked to the voice. What they saw was a rabbit with black fur as dark as night. She had blazing blue eyes, and a red bow tied around her neck.
"How so, Rachel?" asked Eli.
The penguins, except Rico, glared at Rachel, indicating they want answers.
The rabbit sighed. "It happened like this..."
FLASHBACK
Rachel was in the back of the university, practicing her fighting a bit before the newcomers arrived. For all she knew, they could be dangerous and she'll be ready if that happens. She ceased practicing when hearing voices.
"Are you sure it's okay to wander away from the group?"
"Of course! I want to see what's back here before anybody else sees it before the king, which is me."
"Yay! We're wandering off!"
"Ere ae we?"
Rachel went to the source to see three lemurs and a penguin. Of course this was Julien, Maurice, Mort, and Rico. The lemur king was observing a fountain full of fish inside. All were different species and colors. The fountain design was carved in like vines, and stone roses and other flowers. It was quite pretty. Rachel was hiding behind a bush.
The female rabbit guessed these might be the newcomers. She was alert, but not rude.
"Hello, dudes. I'm Rachel, Kiki and Ellie's room-mate. I hope you enjoy your stay. It's such a lovely place here." Rachel smiled gently. As she went out of her hiding place.
Julien smiles in reply, for her warm greeting. "And, I hope to see you more often, Ms. Bunny."
"Please don't call me that." scowled Rachel.
The lemur king remained unfazed. "Why? You are a bunny that does the hopping, and not to mention, a woman!"
Rachel narrowed her eyes in pure fury.
Maurice noticed the reaction. "Uh, your majesty?"
"Angry rabbit!" cheered Mort.
Julien snarled. "I am the king, and I can call her whatever I am to be calling her!" the lemur king then fixed his whole vision to Rachel, and grinned. "Ms. Bunny."
Rico felt that this was going to end up bad...Which sometimes could be a good thing. The penguin grinned to see what will happen next.
Rachel was in rage, and the next thing she knew, she did a round-house kick at Julien's face.
"MY ROYAL FACE!" screamed Julien in agony, as he fell to the ground.
Mort and Maurice went to their king's side, as he held his face.
END OF FLASHBACK
"That's what happened." declared Rachel with arms crossed.
Rico nodded in agreement.
Blowhole couldn't help but laugh of the story.
Ellie sighed dreamily of the laughter of Blowhole. Though, the male dolphin didn't notice.
Vincent and Dante helped Julien up.
"We better take him to the med. center." commented Dante.
Vincent nodded in agreement.
Eli perked up. "I'll take him."
"Can I go to? I'm curious of what the med. center looks like." announced and asked Tristan.
Everyone agreed, and soon Eli and Tristan helped Julien to go to the med. center.
When they were out of site, Ellie turned to the group. "Well, I suggest we should all go in the building. And, give you the proper presentation."
"Good idea." replied Roger. Since he was curious of what the presentation will be about. Perhaps it was the job.
Soon, all head inside. While Rachel kept an eye out for each of them.
Kowalski kept glancing at Kiki, who just looked straight ahead.
All were then offically inside of the university...
Education of Amalia.
