Julien and Lexii stepped into the clearing filled with dancing lemurs. One of the lemus spotted Julien and stopped dancing. "Our King has returned!" he exclaimed. All the lemurs stopped and looked at Lexii and Julien who were still hand in hand. One lemur looked at Lexii and exclaimed, "We have a Queen!"
All the lemurs cheered and rushed toward Lexii and Julien. Lexii was trying to explain that she was not his queen but no one seemed to be listening. The lemurs picked them up and carried them to a large rock.
Julien cleared his throat and raised his hand to shush the audience. "Your King has returned!" he said happily. The crowd roared! One lemur called out "Is she our new Queen?!"
"What?! No I'm not his queen! We are friends and that's IT!" said Lexii.
"Sure...." the lemur said back.
King Julien smiled and said "Who is ready to party?!" The lemurs cheered and loud music rose from somewhere. The lemurs all started dancing and Lexii smiled at Julien. They jumped down into the crowd and danced for a long time.
Later that night Julien, Lexii, Maurice, and Mort were in the old plane. Julien had told Lexii that the plane had crashed into the tree several years ago and now it is the home for the royal family.
Lexii felt weird in the plane. First of all she was afraid of heights; and second, the floor was at an angle making it difficult to walk. But she had to admit, it was a heck of a lot better than sleeping outside.
She settled down in one of the chairs and closed her eyes. Julien had said that they were going to have a huge party tomorro to celebrate him coming home. She had had fun at the party earlier today but all the dancing had worn her out.. She really needed some sleep!
Lexii and Julien stood on a branch at the top of a large tree. Lexii looked down into the hundreds of lemurs below her. What a long way down.... She suddenly felt dizzy and clung to a nearby branch. She looked at Julien who was dancing on the edge of the branch. Was he crazy?!!
Julien stopped dancing and looked at Lexii. He held out his hand. Lexii looked at him, then the ground, then the tree branch and reluctantly took his hand. Julien smiled. Her hand was so soft and graceful. He sighed happily.
Lexii had one hand in Julien's and one arm still on the branch. He slowly pulled her away from the tree and led her to the middle of the branch. She smiled at Julien and let go of his hand. She shakily stood on the branch and tried to copy Julien's dance moves.
Lexii was just getting the hang of it when Julien turned to Lexii and whispered in her ear. "Don't worry, they will catch you." he said cheerfully.
"Wait! What?!" Lexii yelled as Julien took her hand and jumped out of the tree....
Lexii closed her watch the ground rush towards her. Just as she was about to hit the ground all the lemurs gathered around and caught her and Julien. She opened her eyes and laughed.
They put her and Julien down. She smiled at him and took his hands. They danced together for the rest of the day....
Lexii walked along the moonlit beach. Madagascar was everything she dreamed it to be and more! She looked out at the stars. There were millions of them, all sparkling and bright. She sighed. She could look at this forever..
She heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and spotted Julien. She smiled at him then looked back at the twinkling sky. "It's beautiful, huh?" she said dreamily. Julien stepped beside her and looked at the sky also. "Yes you are.. GAH! I mean it is! The sky is beautiful! Ughh!" Julien stuttered. He hit his forehead with his hand. He kicked at a glob of wet sand and it flew in the air. It splattered on Lexii's shoulder.
She smiled."You did NOT just do that!" she said laughing. She bent down and scooped up some wet sand and hurled it at Julien and it hit his chest. He laughed and picked up more sand. He threw it at Lexii and she ducked. Itflew over her head and hit a nearby tree.
The ran around the beach engaged in their sand war. Julien picked up a huge glob of sand and aimed at Lexii's head. She laughed and tackled him. The flipped over a couple times then Lexii pinned down Julien. He grabbed mire sand and put it ontop of Lexii's head. Giggling, she fell onto the sand beside Julien.
They laughed for a while then just laid there looking at the stars. Lexii told Julien some of the stories of the constellations. When she lived with Blowhole, he had told her all if those stories. They always laid on the roof and looked at the stars together. She missed those times...
Lexii frowned and Julien must have seen her because he frowned also.
"I'm fine.." she said trying to sound happy. Julien smiled and pointed to a group of stars. "Those stars kinda look like two lemurs. Actually it kind of looks like us." he said. He pointed to the right of the stars. "Look! That ones me and that one over there is you!"
Lexii looked where he was pointing. She had to admit, it did kind of look like them. It even looked like the Julien one had a crown on and hers looked as if it had bangs. She smiled at Julien and looked deep into the sky.
They fell asleep like that. On the beach, laying next to eachother, the moonlight surrounding them in a haunting glow. This was a great place to be..........
