For my prolouge chapter of "Reasoning with Infinite," It's going to be about the characters arriving in Spagonia, and as they start getting ready, Infinite is very hesitant in joining everyone else and considers in leaving the circus all together.
Gadget then attempts to persuade Infinite to do the show but fails at convincing him. This leads to Gadget feeling crushed and eventually leads to him having a breakdown backstage.
(Back when I was obsessed with Madagascar 3, I liked to imagine something like this going on before showing the characters getting prepared in London.)
