For the rest of the day it was business as usual.
Aside from the penguins brief chase with Alice on the golf cart, the day was very uneventful
Eventually the sun went down and all the animals went to sleep.
All except for Joey…
Joey had mostly ignored the little kangaroo for the rest of the day , aside from a quick glance every once in a while.
But now that he had lied down and tried to fall asleep several times, the little roo was restless, scared, and making a lot of noise.
Joey finally got up and went over to the baby "Can you please be quiet little fella! Joey wants to get some sleep!"
The baby kangaroo looked up as Joey towered over him. The little roo didn't understand, he was too scared…
Then he saw it…
The pouch…
Joey didn't even have time to react before the little kangaroo had dove right into his pouch!
"Joey don't like you being in there! Get out!" He grumbled.
But the little kangaroo had curled up inside and wasn't listening…
Joey remembered a few times when either Julien or Skipper had gone inside his pouch.
He had never known the full explanations as to why they had done it.
But what he did know was that he had hated it! He would always throw them out as fast as he could!
So why was he not throwing the little kangaroo out?
Why was he not mad?
Why was he feeling warm inside?!
Joey looked down at the little kangaroo who was now fast asleep…
"Alright… little fella… Joey will let you stay." Joey said softly, he was starting to get sleepy himself.
So Joey hopped over to his habitat's sleeping space, and settled in for the night.
With his cute little companion tucked in safe and sound…
The end
