~Yay! Next chappy! Sorry its like super late :( Me, my family and my cousin and her family went on a one week trip. It was AWESOME! We went to Universal Studios HollyWood! I saw the HollyWood signnnnn! Then we went to Knotts Soak City the next day, and the next day we spend it at our hotel's pool. Then we went to the beach in San Diego with my other cousins the day after that! Then we came back home the next day so I got the chance to update. Oh ya people, I typed THIS chapter little by little throughout the trip ;) Thats how awesome I am. X3
So um A LOT of you guys wanted Vitaly x Bree and a few liked Marty x Bree and one of you (Ozymandeos) gave me a great idea! A Love Triangle! Between Vitaly x Bree x Marty (Mostly Vitaly x Bree which I like to call, Vitee or Vitaree or even Vitalee ;D )Why not? X3 Three of you wanted Mason the Gray Wolf ( check out my DeviantART account to see a drawing of him) and I planned out everything he'll do in the story and I just dont want him out. So I'll put him maybe as Bree's best friend or something.
Um, sorry for the long drabble... Enjoy the chapter!
Disclaimer: I do not own Madagascar or the songs used in this chapter. Bree belongs to me.~
Rico set up the canons with dozens of dynamite stuffed in them. Bree took a deep breath. I can do this, I've gone through worse. She thought. Marty puts on his helmet and gave Bree a spare one. She placed it on her head and connected the straps under her chin. Her hair was all over her face. She brushed it with her claws and stuffed it inside the helmet revealing more of her face. Marty was already inside his canon. Bree got inside hers.
"Just relax," Marty said, feeling Bree's nervous tension.
"Im relaxed," Bree replied, breathing softly.
"Have confidence," Marty said as he pushed himself inside.
"Im confident," Bree said telling herself that she'll survive.
"Find your target," Marty said looking her way.
"Found my target," Bree answered while she looked straight at the sky.
"And wow the crowd," Marty finished.
"I'll do my best," Bree said nervously.
"You ready?" Marty asked.
"Ready!" Bree said.
"She's ready," Marty said softly before,"And...FIRE!" Marty was shot out of the canon with a thousand dollar boom! Bree watched him fly over the circus and disappear into the clouds with a big awestruck grin.
"Shoot me!" She shouted. Rico scratched poor Private's butt with the match and lit Bree's canon. Three. Two. One. Bree went flying over the tight ropes. Over the Rings Vitaly was flying through. And over the trapeze Alex and Gia were practicing on. Alex watched as Bree twirled and spanned until he couldn't see her anymore by the clouds. Alex sighed as he swung upside down on the trapeze.
"She'll be fine, Alex. Marty will take care of her. You trust Marty, si?" Gia said as she joined him swinging slowly upside down.
"Of course I trust Marty. He's my best friend. Im just worried she might get hurt in her landing... HER LANDING!" Alex shouted realizing he didn't know where they were going to land or if the landing place was safe. He picked himself up and let himself fall on the net followed by Gia. Alex ran off the net and headed over to the penguins.
"Skipper! Where are Marty and Bree landing?" Alex asked breathlessly.
"I don't know, somewhere near the lake I think." Skipper said carelessly. Alex panicked and pulled his mane.
"What? That lake is almost two miles from here! They'll never find their way back!" Alex started breathing rapidly until Gia held his chest.
"Alex, they'll be fine, si? Do not panic. We will find them." Gia said softly. Alex loved how she does that. How she can calm him down in the hard times. He nodded and she kissed his cheek.
Meanwhile...
Bree flew into a cloud. The sensation was amazing! They felt like slightly soaked soft pillows! She laughed and 'Whoo Hooed' as she made a cloud angel.
"Lovin' the feeling, huh?" Marty said unexpectedly. Bree laughed and spanned.
"This is amazing!" Bree sighed. Marty smiled and 'laid' on his back. Bree did the same.
"Check this out." Marty said and ducked his head down followed by his body and he started falling. Bree gasped. She flipped over and started looking for him.
"Marty!" She shouted. Silence.
"Try it!" A faint yell shouted back. Bree hesitated. Then she duck down like she was diving and started falling. She started to worry until she got out of the clouds and saw a wide lake in front of her. She laughed.
"Of course," She said to herself and started making front flips. She splashed into the water. She came out of the water and gasped. Her hair was plastered all over her face. She giggled and took off her helmet. She shook her head fiercely to dry her hair. (1) She brushed it and now her hair was in the middle of her face again. She looked around and saw Marty-staring at her. She lifted an eyebrow.
"What?" She asked. Marty shook his head.
"Wha? Oh! Nothing its just um, that dive was amazing?" Marty said nervously. Bree smiled.
"Really? You think so?" She asked blushing.
"You were great for a first timer." He said swimming closer to her.
"I guess, but Im not gonna be doing this act forever right? Stefano, eventually, will get better." Bree said holding her helmet shyly. Marty's smile faded.
"Why? Is there somethin' wrong with this act?" Marty said offended. Bree's eyes widened.
"No! Its amazing! Its just, I'd like to be in this act with you but Stefano will get better soon so I won't be doing the act by then." Bree explained her error. Marty's face looked emotionless.
"Alright, maybe so, but then what do you wanna do for your own act?" Marty asked. Bree raised her cheeks, not sure if she wanted to tell him.
"Well, Gia suggested singing but-"
"Wait, you can sing?" Marty interrupted, "But wont the people uh... you know."
"Just hear roars?" Bree finished for him,"No..," She answered. Marty gave her a confused look.
" 'No'?" He asked confusedly. He swam closer waiting her to tell him. He was atleast 5 inches away from her. Bree looked away from his eyes. "Can you tell me why?" He asked. Bree looked at her reflection in the water. I can't tell him. I'm so weird! Abnormal! Different...It just hurts me. Being different is what made me this Titanium lioness. (2) I can't live like a normal wild animal! Why do humans have to abuse animals like me? Why does this hurt so bad? Tears streamed down Bree's face. Marty whipped away a tear from her face.
"I-I can't tell you..." Bree sobbed. Marty hugged her and swam her out of the water. He sat her on the sand.
"Shhh," He said softly, "Sorry Bree, I had no idea you would take that question personally."
"No, its fine, I shouldn't have acted like a child." Bree said and cleaned her face. Marty hugged her and she hugged back.
"Ahemm!"
Marty and Bree backed away quickly and looked up. Alex had a suspicious look on his face.
"Am I interrupting something?" Alex asked. Bree blushed while Marty smirked at Alex. He really thinks they were having a moment?
On their way back, Alex kept an eye on Marty and Bree while Gia rolled her eyes.
"Anyone care to explain?" Alex said glaring daggers at Marty. Marty chuckled slightly.
"Alex, buddy, nothing happened! It was just a friendly hug." Marty explained. He seemed calm by the way Alex glared at him. He knew Alex isn't the protective type...then again, he didn't have his sister back in New York or Madagascar or even Africa. So, he has a reason.
"About...?" Alex asked suspiciously. If it was just a hug, then what were they hugging for?
"He asked about my singing and I kind of... " Bree said as she rubbed her arm embarrassedly. She didn't want to give to much away or she knew just by the way he reacted when he saw her and Marty, he would be extra-overprotective. (3)
"You made my little sister cry?" Alex shouted at Marty. He sounded rather calm than mad now.
"I didn't know that question was personal!" Marty defended. He wanted to ask them why that question made her cry but he didn't want more tears.
Alex sighed, "Alright guys, lets just forget about this and go back to practicing, okay?" Alex walked ahead leaving Gia, Marty, and Bree a few feet behind. Marty and Bree looked at Gia.
"I'll go talk to him. He is just concerned for you, Bree. He never had a sister before in his life as you know and he's just trying to keep you safe." Gia said and smiled at Bree. Bree smiled back and nodded. Gia ran up to Alex.
"He is so protective." Bree said rolling her eyes and giggling.
"He is overprotective." Marty corrected. They both laughed.
"So you ready for another lesson of Marty's Flying Canons?" Marty said in a chuckle. Bree smiled and shook her head at him slightly like if he was a child.
"I'll take a break first. I bet Alex would wanna talk to me." Bree said. Marty nodded.
"Okay then, tell me when you're ready and I'll teach you another lesson." Marty said. A few minutes later, they returned to the circus and went back to what they were doing. Marty went back to his canon to practice some flips, of course the penguins readjusted the canon to land somewhere more near. Alex and Gia climbed the trapeze to practice a new routine.
"Ready?" Gia shouted from the opposite side of the trapeze.
"Ready!" Alex shouted back. They jumped off the high board and fell into the net which made them jump back up with a flip onto a swing.
MeanWhile~
Bree sat on the entrance to Alex's trailer (A/N Im not sure if its a trailer since people call them cars) her back resting on one of the doors, her legs bending as a small leather book lied on her thighs. Bree bit the eraser on her pencil. She looked up in thought and started writing in the book.
"Hey Bree," Someone interrupted her concentration. Bree looked up from her book and smiled.
"What are ya writin'?" Vitaly asked in a sing-song voice. Bree closed her book in silence.
"N-Nothing," She said looking away. Vitaly smirked.
"You know nothing means something, right?" Vitaly said matter-of-factly. Bree rolled her eyes.
"It's noting Vitaly." She said and continued to write in her book thinking he might just leave.
"Ya, its nothing. Just because you are using a pencil and scribbling in that book doesn't mean you are writing something." He said sarcastically as he made gestures. Bree looked at him without moving from her position then looked back at her book. Vitaly smirked then snatched Bree's book from her paws. Bree gasped and glared at Vitaly.
"Vitaly, give, it, back." She demanded. Vitaly held her book over his head and smirked slyly.
"Hmm, wonder whats so important in this book that you don't want me to see." He teased. Bree glared at him and stood up.
"Dont you dare Vitaly." Bree said through gritted teeth. Vitaly chuckled and started to open Bree's book slowly. Bree's eyes started to glow dark orange. (4) Vitaly opened the book all the way.
Bree's POV (Brief)
"You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone. "Vitaly started. I ran to him but Vitaly got away. "You shine it, when I'm alone." I tried to grab my book from his paws but he would move from my reach everytime. I can't let him read any more of whats in that sacred book! No, its not a diary. "And so I tell myself that I'll be strong and dreaming when they're gone," My anger heated up. I tackled him to the ground. I held my paws infront of me to break my fall, but instead they were resting on something furry. I furrowed my eyebrows and looked up. My eyes caught Vitaly's. They were an amazing golden green and they looked caring and loving. I fell deep into his dreamy eyes I think I melted. My paws brushed softly through his fur. My heart was beating faster than ever. My heart only raced when I am taken into the examination room back with the scientist, but this was different. It felt...good. I liked the feeling. Wait, am I falling for Vitaly?
Vitaly's POV
I stared into her deep blue eyes. I never seen anything so beautiful. They are like two clear blue waterfalls in the forests of South America. I felt instantly inlove with them. I wanted to stare at them all day but unfortunately, this potion was too awkward for us. Bree cleared her throat and sat up. I picked up my upper body with my elbows. Bree then grabbed her book from my paws.
"I'll take that." She said and stood up. I did also. We stood there in silence. Heart clenching cold silence. I wanted to say something but I couldn't find the words...or the guts.
"Um, goodnight Vitaly." Bree broke the silence and climbed into Lion's trailer. I wanted to apologize for taking her book but she had already closed the slide door. I already missed those two amazing waterfalls of hers. Am I falling for Lion's sister?
~Yay! Im done! Hope this chapter was long enough.
(1) What? To much? I couldn't help it! I HAD to put that! I didn't want to put to much info if you know what I mean...
(2) See what I did there? X3 If you dont, read my songfic thats based on Bree's past. (I Am Titanium)
(3) As in, asking alot of questions, might ruin Alex and Marty's friendship, get it? Got it, good.
(4) Again, dont understand? Read the songfic. So remember how I mentioned Bree's eyes were changing colors in the songfic? Later on in the story you'll find out what that means ;3
So um, the song I used was Lights by Ellie Goulding. Thats were I got the title from ;P It has a meaning to the story! You'll have to find out why.
Sorry if it was a little OOC ^^' I hope you liked it! Please review!~
Chapter Edit ~ I got this new review from SmoothCriminal; its amazing how you got the story idea that was almost exactly how I wrote it before I got your review. Although your idea and opinions are convincing, other reviews have said that it is more convenient that Bree should fall inlove with Vitaly, and I think I agree. But your idea and opinions are really good! Sorry,
