Rico didn't like this idea. At all.

That stupid primate. He thought Mason was a smart guy. There was only one animal Rico would obey, and he was Skipper. Not this stupid lemur. Hell, he would prefer to watch lunacorns marathon on TV for whole week! Now all he wanted to do was blow this Ringtail's head up, so he would learn that he was no compare to Skipper.

He regurgitated a baseball bat, aiming at Julien's head. But Skipper sent a warning glare at him. Yeah, Skipper. It was his order to obey Julien's orders after all. Why else would Rico accept such thing? He swallowed the bat, watching Skipper and Ringtail challenging each other before Rico and his teammates -minus Skipper plus Julien- went back penguin habitat.

Just 24 hours, he told himself before he shook his head. No, he was sure that Ringtail would never be able to handle to be new Skipper. It was gonna be over before 24 hours, and Rico was going to watch Julien admitting his defeat with joy. Then Skipper would come back and everything would turn normal.

He laid on his bunk before he grinned when he remembered how Skipper liked his coffee - with an anchovy at 600 hours. Maybe it was gonna be a fun less-than-24 hours.
