Chapter two: Twilight

Marlene sighed. Everyone was at her Halloween party except for Julien and Maurice. They were actually invited to her home this time. Why haven't they come? Marlene looked around the room. The only other one to seem to have realized that Julien and Maurice weren't there was Rune.

"Have you seen his royal pain-in-the-butt or Maurice at all?" Marlene had asked Rune.

She shook her head. "No...and it worries me. Julien never misses a party and Maurice is usually right behind him..."

Marlene sighed. Maybe the two decided to go trick or treating with the kids... she doubted it, though.

"Chip, how can we ding-dong-ditch a tree?" Tyler asked, placing his bag full of candy beside him. Even after going to a few other zoo animals, the kids had plenty of candy. Now Chip and Ace were assisting they'd do pranks.

"Just watch," Chip told them. He ran up to the tree and shouted; "Hello~!" then ran back behind the bush.

"Huh?" said the annoying squirrel as he popped his head out of the hole. "Someone say something?"

The kids chuckled.

"Idiot," Peppy sneered in a whisper.

As they were laughing, Sunfall suddenly heard something. Soon, the other did too.

"Dad?" Tyler gasped.

Julien, or at least they thought it was Julien, towered over them, snarling. His yellow eyes seemed to glow and the king looked bigger than before... and his fur was poufy and long. Juline snarled again, but this time he bared his sharp fangs.

"Auuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggg!" screamed the kids as they ran off.

***

Rune's good lemur ears picked up screaming.

"I hear it too," Scott told her, his ears were picked up too.

"I don't hear-" Marlene started.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!"

"-Okay, now I do."

Just then, the kids toppled into Marlene's cave.

"Julien turned into a weremonster!" Chip shrieked.

"Oh, hon, there's-" Rune stopped herself. "-That would be a rare possibility."

"But it's true!" Heart shouted between breaths.

"We saw him! He looked terrifying!" Snow wailed. She ran to Rico in hopes of comfort.

"Okay," Rune huffed, "We'll find Maurice and ask him-"

"What if he's dead already?" Tyler shouted and the kids all started to pout.

"Me and my team will go check it out," Skipper assured. "Fall in!"

Kowalski, Private, Rico and Rune all lined up side by side and saluted their leader.

"We can come too!" Chip squeaked. "Me and my team will-"

"Stay here," Marlene said as their parents nodded in agreement.

"You all can help Scotty and Angelica protect everyone else," Rune told them. They, her and her team mates left.

"Pst. Seriously. Dad thinks we'll listen?" Ace whispered.

Heart smiled a sly smile and nudged Chip and Snow. "Well?"

Chip laughed. "I'm already way ahead of ya. Operation; Stop the Werelemur is a go!"
