Hey everyone. Here is my first attempt at a Penguins of Madagascar fanfic. This seems like a farfetched story but I still hope you like it. To those who have author alerts to me and are reading this, this will actually be a little different type of story then any of my previous and I hope I get many new fans from this story. I hope you review this story and suggestions never hurt whatsoever. I will usually take on any suggestion if it works for the story.

Chapter 1: The Collars

Today was a normal day in Central Park Zoo for the Penguins and the Lemurs. The Penguins, Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, and Private were inside their habitat just finishing up their daily diet of fish for breakfast. The Lemurs, King Julian, Maurice, and Mort were finishing up their daily morning party. The music blaring almost as loud as it could go.

"Come on Maurice. Only 10 more minutes." Julian said dancing around any which way. Maurice meanwhile was completely tired out along with Mort.

"No more dancing. No more dancing." Mort said nearly crying while he continued to dance.

"I'm with Mort. I can't take this anymore." The both of them collapsed on their backs as Julian stand over them.

"I'm disappointed in you Maurice. You Mort not so much." That's when Mort tiredly reached for Julian's feet which he had an obsession with.

"Ah. Ah. Ah. No touchy the feets." Julian cocked back his foot and kicked right into Mort and sent him flying across the sidewalk into the Penguins habitat. Julian only heard snoring as Mort had fallen asleep just as he was kicked and Maurice was starting to doze off.

Mort crashed landed right into the pool surrounding the Penguins H.Q. and fell right into the underwater window as the penguins looked over to the window as they were climbing on their way outside to start their daily training.

An awoken Mort said, "Hi guys." Bubbles coming from his mouth. The four of them ignored as Mort peeled away from the wall and they continued climbing up and out of the hatch to the outdoors. By time they got outside, they could see Mort crossing the sidewalk to get back to Julian and Maurice. They couldn't even get through 2 minutes of training before they were once again.

"Skipper." Private the littlest said.

"What do you want Private?" Skipper replied.

"Alice is coming." Private pointed his flipper as the zoo keeper Alice came walking along with the zoo doctor with several cages. Alice grabbed the plank that allowed her to cross over to the Penguins concrete island. As Alice reached down to grab Rico Skipper shouted, "Evasive maneuvers!" The other three sprung into action as they started to belly slide as they fell into the water.

"So you penguins want to play it the hard way then." Alice muttered. "Get the tranquilizing darts." She told the doctor. He handed here several darts as she walked into concrete island and waited for the perfect time. Skipper had surfaced to get some air and that's when he saw the needle gleam in the early morning sun. He gulped as he sat in the water frozen with fear. Alice took this opportunity and grabbed Skipper and pierced him in the behind as Skipper screamed and slowly dozed off from the tranquilizing effect. She carried Skipper over to the doctor and had him place Skipper into a cage.

"Skipper!" Private said as he jumped out of the water to be with his leader. To make sure Private was going to be okay Kowalski and Rico climbed out as well and were tranquilized along with Private and placed into cages. They were then carried off with the doctor.

Skipper was the first one to wake up hours later back at the habitat. He was able to look over and see his fellow penguins being placed back on the concrete island as Alice was talking to some other zoo keeper over their walkie-talkies.

"This idea is stupid. There's no way the animals can talk now. They probably have prerecorded voices in them."

"Well duh. Just get all the animals back to their pens. We're opening soon."

"Fine. I'm coming." She grabbed all the cages and carried them back to the zoo keeper's post. Skipper was able to stumble over to the rest of his team as they one by one regained consciousness.

"Is everyone okay?" Skipper asked his team.

"Yes sir." Private and Kowalski replied.

"Uh huh." Rico grunted while nodding. That's when all four of them realized they were wearing these weird collars around their necks.

Well there was the end of the first chapter. I know it's not the greatest but hey. I hope I did a good job of keeping in character for everyone but please tell me what you think and how I can improve. I want this to be an enjoyable story for everyone. Don't forget those reviews and suggestions.
