King Julien: Wake up, Mr. Alex. Wake up, Mr. Alex. Rise and shining. Wakey-waking, Mr. Alex!

Misty watched as Julien tried to wake Alex up. They were in the middle of the jungle at a watering hole. Misty loved to go in the watering hole a lot.  She was sitting on the tree branch staring down as Julien shakes him up. 

King Julien: WAKE UP! ALEX! You suck your thumb?

Alex: AAH!

Everyone but Alex: AAH!

The other animals woke up with a start. They looked around in shock.

Everyone: AAAAHH!!

The other lemurs cheered as the humanoids stood back up to their feet.

Everyone: Where are we? What the heck is going on? Who built the forest?! What is this?

King Julien: Take it easy. Whoa, whoa, whoa! Don't be alarmed, giant freaks! While you were asleep, we simply took you to our little corner of heaven. Welcome to Madagascar.

Marty: Mada-who-ah?

Gloria: What?

King Julien: No, not who-hah. Ascar.

The humanoids looked around.  The morning sun shone down. Dozens of trees weighted with colorful exotic fruit stood in clusters nearby. A gentle breeze rustled the palm trees.

Yup...Paradise alright.

All around them, lemurs are tossing fruit down from the trees, filling baskets and plasters of overflowing.

Marty: It's just like my mural back at the zoo.

Gloria: Oh, no, fella, that is the real deal right there.

King Julien: Look at that, that's not a bad view.

Alex: I mean, that's the thing that you were always looking at, but it's actually there. I mean, that's like the real version of your...

Marty: Hey, how about once around the park? Let's get our blood pumping, get those lungs breathing all this fresh air. Who's with me?!

Alex: Ah, naw. I really, I don't think I could... You're it!

He pets Marty on the head before he took off.

Marty: Hey! Want to play around?

Misty sighed as she watched Alex and Marty play around. She hoped that she could meet them soon. After the giant animals left The lemurs looked above.

Maurice: Hey Misty. You can come out now.

Misty climbed onto the ground as she looked on at the open view.

Misty: Do you think I'll be meeting them?

King Julien: Of course, Mist. Mr. Alex will protect us from the fossa.

Misty surely knew what Julien was up to.

Misty: Anyway, Jewel. Let's go get the party started.



From the opening, Alex panted hardly as Marty kept up the pace. He was running low on energy.

Alex: OK, Marty, I'm it. I'm it. I'm it. You win.

Marty was fine though. He was still pumped up.

Marty: Come on, Alex, get in the groove.
