Chapter 1 Take Off
In Africa
Alex, Marty, Gloria, and Melman were getting ready to board the plane and try to make it back to New York; Alex was with his parents saying, "Bye mom and dad. It's been great spending time with you guys but I got to go home." Zuba was holding his wife and said, "That's okay son, we understand. Just come and visit sometimes." Alex started to leave and pointed his finger at him and said, "You got it Dad!" Marty started saying goodbye to the herd of zebras but at the same time he was glad to be leaving them because he did not like being around zebras that were exactly the same as him. He told them, "Yeah it's been great hanging with you guys but I gotta go; New York is a great place!" They all said at once,
"Yeah, it sounds like it is cracka lacking." He said, "Yeah that's right, it is cracka lacking." He quickly turned away and started walking next to Alex.
Alex: "Hey, it's gonna be great to finally be back home Marty." Marty: "Marty, who's Marty. I'm not Marty, I don't know any Marty." Alex: "Will you give it up with that joke; I look into your eyes and I know it's you."
Marty: "Mmm hmm, yeah you can see the mark from when you bit me on the butt can't you."
Alex: "Guilty as charged."
They were approaching the plane, which the penguins and the chimps had adjusted to form a combination between a plane and a helicopter, and met up with Gloria and Melman.
Melman said, "This is going to be great, I can't wait to see New York again!"
Gloria: "Yeah, we'll finally get to see the statue of liberty again." Marty: "We'll see all our friends back in the central park zoo." Alex: "Yeah, to be the king again."
They approached the plane where Skipper said, "Alright I want this plane ready to fly by fourteen hundred hours!"
Alex: "Uh Skipper, is the plane ready yet?"
Skipper: "Cool your jets, fluffy cat! We've found a new way to power it without the chimps, but it will take a while for us to get it working. We should have it fixed in... six to nine hours."
Alex: "Sixty-nine hours!"
Skipper: "No, six to nine hours."
Meanwhile, At The Farm...
Maggie was laying down to go to sleep for the night. It had been a long day. She laid down as soon as she got in her pen.
Maggie: "Good Night, Calloway."
Mrs. Calloway: "Good Night, Maggie."
Back in Africa
Alex, Marty, Melman, and Gloria had entered the plane which was getting ready to take off. Julian came in with Maurice and said, "We shall push forth immediately to my new kingdom." Suddenly they heard Mort's voice and they tried to shut the door to prevent him from entering. Private was dressed as a steward and said, "The emergency exits are located here and here. In the event that the plane should crash, put your head between your legs to duck and cover." Marty was a little nervous and said, "Uh that won't happen this time, right?" Private calmly said, "Just relax and enjoy the ride sir." The penguins were about to start the plane while Mort said, "Open up, I'm outside.
Melman looked out the window to see Mort on the wing of the plane as it was taking off. He stuck his head out and Mort jumped onto it and he brought him inside. Meanwhile Skipper was with the hula girl and said. "This has got be the second best plane i've ever seen. but it will have to do."
Melman poked his head into the area where Maurice and Julian were eating shrimp and getting ready to put on a movie. When Melman put his head in Julian said, "What are you doing here? This is first class; we're better than you. We've been over this before!" Melman said, "Yeah I just came back to bring a little someone." Mort came in and yelled "King Julian!" Julian and Maurice then screamed as Mort jumped to them and hugged Julian's feet. Julian angrily said. "Mort you must not touch the king's feet! Maurice haven't 1 told him about the feet before?" He shook Mort off his leg and Maurice said. "He did tell you about the feet." Mort just smiled adorably.
Melman suddenly said. "Well I'd better get some sleep. It's gonna be a long ride to New York."
The plane was flying over the ocean for a few days before it passed over land. It actually went south of New York since The penguins had fallen asleep
