An oddly familiar voice spoke up.

The sun shined in their grey fur, possibly because it was early in the morning. Every time the voice spoke, it went from friendly to irritated. Currently, they watched Alex's lids slid down to close and head back to sleep.

"Wake up, Mr. Alex. Wake up, Mr. Alex. Rise and shining. Wakey-waking, Mr. Alex!"

From his point of view, Alex could swear that the creature was King Julien.

"Wake up! Alex!"

King Julien had shaken Alex awake, furiously, and rested his hands on his hips.

Alex jolted awake, blue eyes wide, wrapped like a body pillow, Ayana resting in the crook of his right elbow with his paw on the side of her face, and sucking his thumb with his left paw.

Despite Julien being the one to disturb Alex, he rose a brow to question him.

"You suck your thumb?"

Then he screamed, jostling out of the other big cat's hold.

Then everyone else, except Ayana and Alex, screamed.

The four of them jolted- screaming at the sight of the lemurs swarming around on all sides, the sand and trunk they slept on was on top of a warm-colored rug which was on top of multiple tree trunks.

The animals swerved around, bumping into each other many times, and even stepping on their sleeping friend, pondering what they were doing as Julien and Maurice hopped on a pair of stilts.

"Where are we? What the heck is going on?"

"Take it easy."

"What is this?"

"Ow! What are y'all doing?"

"Who built a forest?"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Don't be alarmed, giant freaks!" Julien tells them, leaning slightly on the wooden stilts. "While you were asleep, we simply took you to our little corner of heaven. Welcome to Madagascar." The ring-tail directed his arm to a certain direction.

All of them turned their heads to the right, as Marty questioned him in turn.

"Mada-who-ah?" The zebra had his mouth shut by Alex with a click so he could move his head to where everyone else was.

"What?" Gloria questioned in awe.

"No, not who-hah. Ascar." Julien corrected.

Madagascar was nothing as it seemed when they got there; there was an open view The grass was a lush green, the palm trees tall, and the water was a brilliant sky blue. The entire scenery shimmered from the Sun's light.

"Marty. It's..." Alex starts, but couldn't finish because he was still awestruck, along with the rest, even unaware that Julien had stilted himself beside them.

"It's just like my mural back at the zoo." Marty finished for him.

"Oh, no, fella, that is the real deal right there." Gloria disregard, planning her hands on her hips.
