Star Child

'Shake your booty, uh huh! Shake your booty!'

Skipper groaned and rolled his eyes toward the sky. The self proclaimed "King" Julien was still dancing around like a maniac. Turning to the old lemur standing nearby, he asked the question that was clearly on everybody's mind, 'Why do you follow him? He's an idiot?'

Maurice seemed a bit startled by the question, but answered, 'I guess you wouldn't know, since you're not from Madagascar. King Julien is the star child.'

'Hn huh?' Rico choked, cocking his head to the side.

'Explain,' Skipper ordered.

'Well, our people were once ruled by Queens. Until one night, a star fell to our island in a blaze of glory. I was adviser to Queen Ranavalona at the time and the two of us went to see this fallen star personally. Instead of a star, we found a star craft. It was a gift from the sky people,' Maurice remembered fondly.

'Uh huh. A spaceship. Right. And then...' Skipper narrowed his eyes at the mammal.

'Suddenly, we noticed a golden glow coming from inside the craft. When we finally got it open, we discovered a young lemur with golden fur and green eyes. The Queen decided to raise the star child as her own and when she passed on, it only seemed fitting to crown him king,' Maurice explained, gesturing to King Julien who was still shaking his booty.

'But King Julien doesn't have golden fur or green eyes,' Private observed.

'I know. It didn't take him long to start looking more like us... Well, he actually looks a great deal like his adopted mother, the Queen herself. And who are we to question a gift from the sky people?' the old lemur concluded.

'Are you saying that ringtail over there is an extraterrestrial?' Skipper demanded, crossing his flippers over his chest.

'An extra-what?' Maurice raised an eyebrow at him.

'An ALIEN!' Skipper shouted, causing Private to hide behind Rico with a squeak of fear.

'What is an alien?' Maurice questioned, looking as confused as before.

'A being from another planet. A creature from outer space, or in your laymen terms, a person from the stars. Not that I believe in them, being a man of science and all,' Kowalski explained, jotting notes on his pad.

'Well, then yeah. King Julien is an alien,' Maurice confirmed.

The penguins exchanged perplexed looks before bursting into fits of laughter. Julien... an alien? That was just too far-fetched to believe. Really, those lemurs and their ancient superstitious beliefs...

...tbc...

Note: Ranavalona is the name of several monarchs of Madagascar.
