"WHAT!? You're my aunt? I like, just met you!" Kylie exclaimed. "Well, I'm your mothers long lost sister. So, that makes me your aunt." Alice stated. Marlene couldn't believe it! Alice was actually being nice to a kid! She had to tell the penguins. "Mort! I'm going to tell you something you must repeat to Skipper. Understand?" Marlene quietly whispered. "Okay." Mort replied. "Repeat this: 'Alice is acting nice! She has a niece!' Okay?" Marlene informed. "I like repeating!" Mort beamed. Marlene then hurled him into the air. He landed on Skipper's head just as he was climbing out of the secret HQ. They both fell back down. "Mort! What are you doing here!?" Skipper cried. Rico threw up a flamethrower and was just about to attack when Mort screamed. "Wait! I have a message from Marlene!" The little lemur shrieked. All of the penguins hesitated to attack. They dropped their weapons and Skipper picked Mort up off the ground. "What did she tell you to say?" Skipper asked. "Alice is acting nice! She has a niece!" Mort repeated. All our penguins gasped. "Alice? Nice?" Private wondered. "That is scientifically impossible!" Kowalski added. "Buttons!" Rico interrupted. "Let's investigate! Mort, go tell that royal fool about this." Skipper ordered. Mort knew very well that "The royal fool" was King Julien. He ran off to tell the other lemurs, trying his best not to be seen. The penguins on the other hand had waddled out onto the ice with their binoculars. "Mort wasn't kidding! She's not yelling at that kid! She's... OMG! Is that who I think it is?!" Skipper cried out. He had seen Doctor Blowhole AND Rhonda! They were terrorizing the girls and Alice with some laser things. Marlene freaked out and hid under water. Sara got hit by one of the lasers and mysteriously vanished. Doctor Blowhole shot Kylie's parents, who looked as if they would die. Meanwhile, at the lemur habitat Mort had just finished telling King Julien and Maurice about Alice being nice. "This means only one thing... A PARTY! Let's dance!" King Julien informed as the lemurs began to dance. Kylie and her friends had hidden behind a hotdog cart with Dexter. "He he! Until next time, zoo freaks!" Doctor Blowhole laughed as he teleported away. "Oh yeah. Wash this laser before you give it back!" Rhonda added as she dropped her laser and teleported away. Alice ran up to her dying sister. Kylie's father was already dead, and her mother looked as if she would die any second. "Karrie! What can I do to help?" Alice panicked. "Alice, take care of Kylie. Give her a good life. Raise her well. In return, I leave you all of our things. Just please take care of Kylie." Were the last words of Karrie Eleanor Vanchez. "I promise to raise her well." Alice whispered. For the first time in their entire lives, the animals saw Alice cry. The lemurs stopped dancing. The penguins dropped their binoculars. Marlene came out of her hiding spot. Alice walked over to Kylie and her friends. Alice discovered then that Kylie was a professional at hiding emotions. She could tell that Kylie was holding back tears because her eyes looked shiny. "Kylie, I'm going to take good care of you, okay?" Alice assured Kylie. "Okay. But can my friends stay with us, their parents are out of town for two weeks?" Kylie asked. "Sure. Let's go back to my apartment. We'll go back to your house in the morning. It's getting dark out." Alice replied as the four girls followed, one of them carrying a barking Dexter. Alice locked up the zoo, and then walked across the street to her apartment complex. Her room was on the second floor. She used a key and opened her room. It had a bed, a microwave and counter, a kitchen cabinet, a bathroom, a window, and a dresser with a TV on top. The room wasn't all that big, but Kylie thought it was cozy. "It isn't much, but make yourselves at home." Alice said.
