Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted (Vitaly X Y/N)

Chapter 2: Sticking With the Circus

Stefano eagerly turned a lamp on as an awkward silence filled the train car. Alex smiled at Gia, who was looking at him, but quickly turned away. Y/N glanced at Vitaly, who gave her a small nod, which she returned.

"Wow! Circus Americano! You must all be very famous!" Stefano mentioned.

"Yeah, we..." Alex started.

"Absolutely," Gloria nodded.

"We're relatively well known..." Alex finished his sentence.

"But Alex is really the star," Marty replied.

"Well, I'm not...I wouldn't say 'star.' More like...well, star," Alex said.

"Real modest there, bro," Y/N commented.

"What is your act, Alice?" Stefano asked.

"Well...I basically, uh, I jump up on my rock..." Alex began.

"Rock?" Gia asked.

"Yeah. It's a very high...rock," Alex said.

"A really high rock!" Melman exclaimed.

"And then?" Stefano wondered.

"And then, well, I roar like...like a serious 'Rawrrr!'" Alex demonstrated.

"And then?" Stefano asked, excitement building up.

"And then I jump off the rock," Alex finished.

"And then?!" Stefano exclaimed.

"And then...And then what?" Alex asked, confused.

"That is all?" Gia wondered.

"Into a pool!" Gloria said.

"Full of water!" Marty added.

"Full of cobras!" Melman remarked.

"Actually, it appears like I'm jumping in to a pool..." Alex started to explain.

"With cobras!" Melman said.

"Aquatic cobras," Y/N corrected.

"Yeah. For effect. But I actually pull up at the last second," Alex said.

"Pull up?" Gia asked.

"Yeah," Alex nodded.

"How do you do that?!" Stefano asked excitedly.

"Wire harness!" Melman said.

"Balloons!" Gloria remarked.

"Jet pack!" Marty stated.

Seeing Alex struggle to come up with the story, Y/N came up with an idea.

"All of the above. It's crazy," she said.

"Yeah. I flip off the wire harness, ignite my jet pack, and then toss balloons to the children of the world. Kids love it. Kids always love that," Alex explained.
