Everybody groaned. Well, except for Julien and Mort. And Private.

"Dandy! That sounds absolutly dandy!" he said.

Skipper, Kowalski, and Rico looked at him and stepped back.

"Ya, we don know him," Rico mumbled.

"Well," Fey said, hestiantly. "Would you at least like to know your roles?"

Silence. Just Private nodding his head really hard.

"Alright, so first, we have to distribute the main roles. Skipper, you'll play a leader, a captain, a handsome lady charmer. What do you say about that?"

"So good, so far. Carry on." Skipper crossed his flippers over his chest.

"You'll be playing Troy, the basketball star. That's a very (cough, cough) manly role to play."

"Ok."

"Gabriella will be played by Marlene. You have the brains, the looks, and the character of her... which is a compliment."

Marlene smiled at her. Somwhere from the direction of Julien came a kissing sound.

"Coming to you, Julien, you will play the awesome role of... ta daa, Sharpay!"

"Champagne? Woooooooooooww, now that is a fitting part for the kingly King. Who is he?"

"Actually, (more coughing) it's a she."

"Ok, that's very fitting for King NOT. I also want a manly role like the Skipper penguin is having."

"But," Fey said, "Sharpay gets to dance and sing and boss people around and wear awesome clothes and just, you know, be awesome."

"Okay! I will play this Champagne role," Julien admired his fingernails.

"As for Chad, the basketball player, I've picked Rico. You'll do an awesome job, I know. As the school geek and Gabriella's best friend, Taylor, I picked none the less, than Kowalski."

Fey smiled sweetly at him.

"What? But she's a girl!" Kowalski groaned.

"I know," Fey said, still smiling... or you could call it grinning sardonically, too.

Another kissing sound from Julien's direction...

"Oh, no," Kowalski realized. "Taylor and Chad are together in the movie! I'll fall in love with Rico, won't I? Do they kiss in the movie? Do they?"

"I don't know," Fey shrugged, "I'll have to look in the script later for that part. If they don't, I can always add it."

"Fey, who will I play?" Private asked her.

"You'll be Kelsi, the shy, creative Pianist."

"Is... is it also a girl part?"

"Yeah, darn it, we need more girls in this zoo, seriously!" Fey said. "Maurice, you'll-"

"No, not me, I'm too old for this."

"It's never too late to start."

"Alright, what do you have?"

"Mr. Bolton, the dad of Troy Bolton. He's a very wise kind of guy, mostly." Fey told him. "Mort, you can be a basketball player, the ones who cooks. I forogt his name."

"Yay for the name!" a falsetto voice shouted.

"How about we do auditons for the rest of the roles?" Marlene offered.

"That's a great idea, Marlene! We'll do that!" Fey smiled. "Ok, here's the script everyone, I need you to be at the zoo plaza at 3 pm. Meanwhile, we'll be having auditions. Does anyone want to help me? Ok, thanks, Marlene. Mort, no, I think you better rest, you're a little small for that kind of job, ok, Rico, great! Thanks, see you all then at 4. Let's go, Rico and Marlene."

Many animals have decided to try out for parts. Among the parts to distribute, was Ryan Evans, Jason Cross, Martha Cox, Ms. Darbus, Ms. Montez, and Sharpay's clique/cheer leaders, and basketball team members.

First up was Pinky, who's high squeaky voice and pink feathers made him an official cheerleader/clique girl. Bada and Bing were casted for the basketball team, altough Bada had tried out for Ms. Darbus. That role, Ms. Darbus, the drama teacher, was given to Roger. Jason Cross and Martha Cox was played by Leonard and Becky, the badger. Stacy got the role of Ms. Montez. Left was only Ryan Evans.

Rico and Fey looked over canditates for Ryan Evans.

"This won't work," Fey said. "We don't have that many talented animals in this zoo."

"Outside?" Rico asked.

"Rico, that's a smart idea, but who?"

Rico thought about it, then answered: "Fred."

"Fred? But... I don't know. Are there any others left?"

"Archie."

"Who's Archie?"

"Aww... shaski blaereto ehesay, deiahent-"

"It's ok, Rico. You don't have to explain."

She playfully punched him. Rico punched back and Fey fell off her little stool.

"Ouch."

"Archie is this thieving racoon, who had been forced to repent of his thefts by Private and Skipper. Right now, he has kinda faded into the background." Marlene explained, laughing.

"Uh huh," Rioc commented.

"Ok, then I'll just get Fred or what-his-name to play Ryan Evans." Fey said and dismissed the rest of the animals. "I have about an hour left. I hope this works out. Wish me luck, guys."

Marlene and Rico waved, then took off.

"Alright," Fey started walking toward the entrance of the zoo.
