Alex, Marty, Melman, (Name), and Gloria made it to the zoo after arriving from the train station with King Julien perched on (Name)'s shoulder.

For some reason, King Julien wanted to come, but it didn't seem to matter with the five friends if he wanted to be in the zoo with them.

"Well. . .we're here." Gloria said.

"Home." Marty said.

"Huh. My rock looks smaller than I remember it." Alex said looking at his rock in his lion's den.

"Look at the mural. Doesn't actually capture the real thing does it?" Marty asked looking at the mural that was in front of his den.

"Wow. I forgot about that wall in between us, Melman." Gloria said looking at he den and Melman's den where they were kept in in the zoo.

"Mm-hmm." Melman said in agreement.

"Was that always there?" Gloria asked as (Name) nodded to what she said.

"Guys, I'm sorry I ever left the zoo in the first place and had (Name) come along with me." Marty said regretting his mistake the first time that got them in this mess.

"What do you mean?" Alex asked confused like.

"I mean, if I had just stayed put, we wouldn't have anything to be sad about right now." Marty said sounding upset with himself.

"Leaving the zoo was the best thing that ever happened to us." (Name) said smiling.

"Really?" Marty asked sounding a bit more happy.

"Yeah. Out there, in the world, we were really living." Alex said as (Name) nodded in agreement.

"Yeah!" King Julien said.

"It was exciting!" Alex said with a smile on his face.

"It was romantic!" Gloria and (Name) said looking at each other with happy smiles.

"It was dangerous." Melman said.

"I never felt so alive!" Marty said with excitement in his voice.

"When we were with the circus, we were already home. I only wish we'd realized that sooner." (Name) said looking down not showing the sadness she had now.

"I'm really going to miss those guys." Marty said as (Name) nodded in agreement.

"What do you say we go back?" Alex asked making (Name)'s (hair/fur color) ears and tail perk up in astonishment at what Alex said.

"Really?" (Name) and Gloria asked with excitement in their voices.

"I'm with you!" Marty said happily.

"I'm in!" King Julien said.

"But what do we tell them?" Melman asked.

"Well, we make it right by telling them how wrong we were." Alex said.

"It's worth a shot." Marty said.

"And if we go down in flames, so be it!" (Name) said quoting Vitaly as she, Alex, Marty, Melman, and Gloria smiled at each other.

"Yes, let's do this!" Gloria said happily.

"I like it!" King Julien said.

"Yeah, yeah!" Marty said chanting a little.

Suddenly, sleep darts were shot at Marty, Alex, Gloria, Melman, and King Julien, making the five drowsy from the sleep darts.

"Oh, no, guys!" (Name) said in shock and panic.

"Is my neck getting longer?" Melman asked drowsy.

"It's just the side effects in the sleep darts, Melman." (Name) said.

"Feel my fur. It's so soft." Alex said feeling his arm with Gloria.

"I'm like a candy cane in a black and white movie." Marty said bringing Gloria and Melman in as if to give the two lovers hugs, but the three fell down onto the ground and went to sleep.

"Oh, no. Dubois." Alex said taking the sleep dart out from his forehead before falling down to the ground and was on top of Marty, Gloria, and Melman.

"Guys!" (Name) said in panic and fear after seeing them fall a sleep from the sleep darts.

"Sonya, I miss you, baby! I miss my stinky bear! Babe. . .your fishy kisses!" King Julien said still drowsy from the sleep dart as he was going into the direction of the circus.

(Name) sighed in relief that a drowsy King Julien was going to get help from the circus and tell them what had happened to Alex, Marty, Gloria, and Melman.

"Surprise!" Dubois said as she and her henchmen came out of their hiding spots.

(Name) turned around and stood in front of her four sleeping friends to defend them.

"You won't get away with Alex, Dubois." (Name) said as Dubois glared at her.

"He will never fit in the carry-on. But his head will!" Dunois said evilly taking out a saw as two of her henchmen grabbed (Name) by her arms and held her back.

"No! Let me go!" (Name) said almost screaming at the top of her lungs to get someone's attention to help her, Alex, Marty, Gloria, and Melman.

"Hey!" A zookeeper said.

"Qu'est-ce que c'est?" Dubois asked in French and in confusion as she turned around and hid the saw behind her back for the zookeepers to not see it.

Dubois's two henchmen push (Name) forward right next to Dubois as they had let go of (Name)'s arms, not wanting to be seen harming a 19 year old half neko and half human teenage girl.

"Look! Look what she's done! You brought back Alex the lion!" The first zookeeper said happily.

"It's a miracle!" A second zookeeper said excitedly.

"You brought him home! You're our hero!" A third zookeeper said very thrilled.

"Thank you! Thank you!" The first zookeeper said shaking Dubois's hand that didn't have the saw that was going to cut Alex's head off for her wall.

"(Name), you're back with the animals as well. Let's go call your parents and let them know you are back safe and sound." The second zookeeper said leading (Name) to the office to call her parents to let them know that she was okay.

Later, (Name)'s parents, (Mom's Name) and (Dad's Name) (Last Name) came down and were happy and relieved to see their daughter back home safe and sound in one piece.

"(Name), thank goodness you are okay!" (Mom's Name) said rushing up to her daughter who was waiting in th zoo office as (Mom's Name) and her husband, (Dad's Name) came down to reunite with their own daughter.

"(Mom's Name), she fine. (Name)'s in one piece." (Dad's Name) said as his wife started hugging their daughter real tight.

"We haven't seen (Name) for who knows how long, (Dad's Name)." (Mom's Name) said with a happy smile (Name) nodded slowly to what her mom said.

(Dad's Name) then noticed that (Name) was looking down at the floor with tears glossed over her (eye color) eyes as if she was going to cry.

"What's wrong, (Name)? Did you get fired from your job for being gone to long? You want to tell us about it?" (Dad's Name) asked in a worried tone as he went over to (Name) and kneeled down onto one knee to comfort her.

"No, they are letting me keep my job since I was with them. I just-Oh, Daddy, I'm in love with someone and I broke his heart by lying to him about being in a circus with Alex, Marty, Gloria, and Melman, but I'm not sure if he will forgive me or not." (Name) said flinging herself into (Dad's Name)'s arms and started crying.

"Oh, (Nickname), sweetie, I'm sure you will be forgiven by, um, whatever this guy's name is if you see him again when this whole situation passes over-" (Dad's Name) said, but was cut off by his own daughter telling him who she loved.

"His name is Vitaly and he is a Russian Siberian tiger. He is in this circus called Circus. . .Circus um-" (Name) said as (Mom's Name) and (Dad's Name) joined in to help their daughter pronounce the name of the circus.

"Circus Zaragoza." (Name), (Mom's Name), and (Dad's Name) said in sync.

"Yeah, that's the name of the circus I was in for a while with Alex, Marty, Gloria, and Melman until we had to leave the circus because of Dubois." (Name) said.

"Oh, that French lady who found your four zoo friends." (Mom's Name) said.

"No, she was claimed to have found Alex, Marty, Melman, and Gloria. She wants to put Alex's head on her wall." (Name) said explaining the whole situation a little bit better for them to understand what had happened before they got down to the zoo.

That made her realize that Dubois was going to be honored in order to get closer to Alex to get Alex's head to put on her wall.

"Oh, no, we've got to stop her!!" (Name) said in a panic as she ran out the office with (Mom's Name) and (Dad's Name) following her to where the honor ceremony was being held.

The 19 year old half neko and half human teen and her parents were just in time to get through the crowd to the front of the audience to see Dubois rip the check she was given in half.

That made the audience gasp in shock as they wondered why she did that to the check she was given and why she didn't want the money.

"It was never about the money. It was about. . .the lion." Dubois said shaking a foam finger that was on her hand, but there was a gun that had a poison dart in to kill Alex.

(Name)'s (hair/fur color) ears perked to the sound of the gun being rattled under the foam finger on Dubois hand and she dashed onto the stage to block the poison dart aimed for Alex.

As she had dashed onstage, she stood between Dubois who glared at her and Alex with her arms raised up in the air as if to not let Dubois hurt Alex.

(Name) looked to see Gia had swooped into Alex's den and grabbed him just in time.

Then, (Name) saw the whole circus coming to help her, Alex, Marty, Gloria, and Melman.

"Look, a flying circus!" A kid said excitedly.

"No!" Dubois said in anger because of her plan being foiled.

Suddenly, an idea came to (Name) and she went to her parents to help her.

"Mom, Dad, I need your help to get Marty out." (Name) said taking (Mom's Name) and (Dad's Name) over to where Marty was.

"How? They secured his den very military like." (Dad's Name) said.

Vitaly with a rainbow afro on his head then dropped in front of (Name), (Mom's Name), and (Dad's Name) and did his jumping through hoops thing, making (Name), (Mom's Name), (Dad's Name), and Marty impressed.

"Wow!" (Name) and Marty said amazed in sync.

Vitaly eventually had Marty in his arms to get out of the secured den.

"Suck in that gut." Vitaly said.

Marty sucked in his gut and held his breath as Vitaly looked through the key hole at (Name) and did the hoop thing again.

"I'm impressed!" Marty said now having the rainbow afro on his head.

"Mom, Dad, this is Vitaly, the tiger I told you two I'm in love with." (Name) said looked at Vitaly with a deep crimson blush on her face as she, her parents, Marty, and Vitaly were brought back up onto the platform with the other animals.

"Nice to meet you, Vitaly. It is so nice that someone has made our daughter happy on her adventure." (Dad's Name) said.

"It's nice to meet you, too, (Name)'s parents. (Name) is the love of my-" Vitaly said when Stefano was heard calling out to the group.

"Wait! Wait for me!" Stefano said running after the group that was on the platform.

"Stefano!" (Name) and Alex said.

"Don't leave without me!" Stefano said continuing to run after the group.

Suddenly, Dubois came out of the rubble of broken wall as cobras came out of their exhibit and she punched a cobra that she grabbed without even looking.

"Oh, no!" Alex said in a panic.

As Stefano looked behind him while running, he stopped running as Vitaly threw a throwing knife into the rainbow afro, which missed Stefano, and continued throwing a staircase of knifes for Stefano to climb onto up to them.

"Go, Stefano! Climb!" Gia and (Name) shouted out to Stefano to start climbing up the staircase of throwing knifes.

Stefano started climbing the staircase of throwing knifes.

"Come on, my friend!" Vitaly said reaching his hand out to Stefano.

"Aah!" Stefano said getting caught by something.

"Stefano!" Vitaly and (Name) shouted watching their sea lion friend get pulled back.

Stefano's feet were caught in the restraint leash thing by Dubois and he was dragged onto the ground before he could make it up to the platform.

"Help me!" Stefano cried out realizing it was Dubois who caught him.

"I will have your head!" Dubois said walking over to the dart gun she had dropped while still dragging Stefano on the ground with the restraint leash thing.

"Oh, no! Help me!" Stefano cried out again.

"Alex! (Name)!" Gia said.

Alex looked at everything that was set and realized that it was trapeze americano.

"Marty! Shoot me and (Name) a line." Alex said looking at Marty who jumped into the cannon.

"You got it! Afro, don't fail me now! Whoo!" Marty said as he was shot out of the cannon to shoot a line for Alex and (Name) to get Stefano.

"What are you two doing?" Gia asked.

"We are doing trapeze americano." Alex said taking the trapeze handle and gives it to Gia.

"Let's do it!" Gia said taking the trapeze handle.

"Frankie, Jonesy! Be ready!" (Name) said to Frankie and Jonesy.

"You got it, boss!" Jonesy said.

"Go, go, go!" Alex said.

Alex grabbed (Name) by her feet and Gia had grabbed Alex by his feet as well so (Name) could grab Stefano away from Dubois.

Dubois was reaching for the dart gun when Mort, who was wearing a rainbow afro, walks in and grabs the gun as he walks off being his usual self like how he always is.

(Name) eventually grabs Stefano and started fighting Dubois while holding Stefano in one arm.

"Gia! Take Stefano!" (Name) said handing Stefano to Gia in the arm she has Stefano in.

"(Name)! Alex!" Gia said letting go of Alex's feet after taking Stefano from (Name).

Alex then steps into the fight and starts fighting Dubois himself and this makes the crowd gasp, the others gasp, and (Name) gasp.

As (Name), Alex, and Dubois are fighting, they were in the air for about ten seconds until the three of them started to fall towards the ground and towards the den now full of cobras where the penguins used to be in.

Dubois hits and punches Alex as (Name) tries to get the crazy lady off of him, which leads Alex to look at the den that is now full of cobras where the penguins used to be in.

"Aquatic cobras! Ah!" Stefano said in fear as he and Gia went back onto the platform.

"If I'm going down, your head is coming with me!" Dubois said pulling the saw from behind her.

"I don't think so!" (Name) said as Alex pushed her hand that has the saw away from him.

(Name) then whistles for Frankie and Jonesy to do their part.

"Oi, let's go!" Jonesy said as he and Frankie turned the rocket skates on.

"You're going down, but not with my head." Alex said as (Name) grabbed him by his back while Frankie and Jonesy grabbed each side of her back.

Frankie and Jonesy pull (Name) and Alex up just in time before hitting the water full of cobras as the crowd cheered happily to the performance.

"Yay!" The kids cheered excitedly.

"Jet pack! They pulled up!" Stefano said excitedly.

"Your days of chasing animals are over, Dubois! Because you've just messed with the king!" Alex said throwing Dubois into his den before she could try to bite at him.

Dubois started to climb Alex's rock very angrily and stood on top of the rock.

"Raaaa!!" Dubois screamed angrily as the crowd cheered.

"This is where animals like you belong! Now sit! Lie Down!" Alex said as Dubois was shot in the butt with a sleep dart and a goofy face was now on her face with her tongue sticking out.

Dubois then fell face first onto the rock as it revealed to be Morty who had shot the dart into Dubois's butt while Maurice patted his head.

"Naughty me." Morty said holding the dart gun while he and Maurice are wearing the rainbow afros on their head still.

"Roll over. Good, Dubois. Now stay!" (Name) said as Dubois rolled off of the rock and onto the floor of Alex's den after falling off of the rock.

(Name) then took Alex to have Gia in his arms as they went through the balloons.

"We did it!" Gia said looking into Alex's eyes.

The balloons then went down to the children who grabbed the balloons.

"Balloons to the children of the world! Trapeze americano!" Stefano said grabbing a balloon and happily hugged it as Vitaly looked in amazement.

"It is real!" Vitaly said smiling as he looked at (Name) happily.

"It's real!" Stefano said happily jumping up.

As (Name), Gia, Alex, Frankie, and Jonesy went back to the platform, everyone was cheering happily at what had just happened.

"That's how you do it! Ha-ha! Woah!" Maurice said as he and (Name) high fived each other.

"So you want to run away with the circus?" Stefano asked curiously to Alex, Marty, Melman, Gloria, (Name), and her parents.

"Live a life of adventure?" Alex asked looking at Marty, Melman, Gloria, (Name), and her parents.

"Full of romance?" Gloria and (Name) asked as (Name) looked at Vitaly.

"And danger!" Melman said.

"Really living!" Marty said happily.

"What do you say?" Stefano asked excitedly.

Alex, Marty, Melman, Gloria, (Name), and her parents looked at each other and smiled.

"Ra-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, circus! Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, Afro!" Marty said as he began to sing the opening to the song, "Afro Circus".

"Circus Afro, Circus Afro! Polka dot, polka dot , polka dot, Afro!" Everyone else sang as they joined into "Afro Circus".

"I like to move it, move it! I like to move it, move it! I like to move it, move it! You like to. . ." King Julien sang the song, "I Like To Move It" to the gang.

"Move it!" Everyone said.

"Hey, Skipper, what did you end up doing with the crazy lady anyway?" Alex asked as (Name) nodded in agreement on what happened to Dubois and her henchmen.

So, basically, Skipper, Kowalski, Private, and Rico ended up sending Dubois and her henchmen off to Madagascar like how Alex, Marty, Gloria, Melman, (Name), the penguins, and the chimps were when the eleven of them were sent to Madagascar.
