Alex finally woke up. It was pitch black.
"Oh my head. Where? What? I'm in the box! Oh no! No, no! Not the box! Oh no, they can't transfer me! Not me! I can't breathe. I can't breathe. Darkness creeping in. Can't breathe. I can't breathe! Walls closing in around me! So alone, so alone." Alex said as he got scared in the box.
"Alex, it's me." Mariah.
Mariah'a crate was on top of Alex's crate.
'Oh no, not my girl.' Alex thought as he recognized the voice.
"Mariah, you're here." Alex said, hearing Mariah on the bottom of his box.
"What happened?" Mariah asked.
"We might be some crates." Alex answered.
"Are we going to be okay?" Mariah asked.
"We'll be fine, Mariah." Alex replied.
"Alex and Mariah, are you guys there?" Marty asked.
"Marty?" Alex asked.
"Are you there?" Mariah asked.
Marty's crate was next to Alex's crate.
"Yeah! Talk to me, buddy!" Marty said.
"Marty! You're here!" Alex said.
"What's going on? Are you guys okay?" Marty asked.
"This might be bad." Mariah said.
"This doesn't look good, Marty." Alex said.
"Guys, can you hear me?" Katie asked.
"And me?" Brandon asked.
Brandon and Katie's crates were each next to Mariah's crate, all the way to the top.
"Katie, you and Brandon?" Mariah asked.
"Yep." Brandon answered.
"We're here also." Katie said.
"Alex? Marty? Mariah? Katie? Brandon? Is that you?" Gloria asked.
"Gloria!" Brandon shouted.
"You're here too!" Mariah shouted
"I am loving the sound of your voice!" Marty shouted.
"What is going on?" Katie asked.
"We're all in crates." Alex answered.
"Oh, no!" Gloria said.
"Oh, sleeping just knocks me out." Melman said.
"Melman!" Alex shouted.
"Is that Melman?" Katie asked.
"Are you okay?" Gloria asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I often doze off while I'm getting an MRI." Melman said.
"Melman, you're not getting an MRI." Alex said.
"CAT scan?" Melman asked.
"No! No CAT scan! It's a transfer! It's a zoo transfer!" Alex shouted.
"Zoo transfer! Oh, no. I can't be transferred, I have an appointment with Doctor Goldberg at 5." Melman said as he started to panic.
"Melman!" Gloria said.
"There are prescriptions that have to be filled." Melman said.
"Melman!" Marty shouted.
"Calm down, Melman. Relax." Gloria said.
"No other zoo can afford my medical care!" Melman shouted.
"Melman!" Brandon shouted.
"I am not going HMO." Melman said.
