Everybody looked out the window. It was night, and the city was glittering. Destiny was asleep in the back. Kowalski grabbed her and laid her in the bag. The others got into the bag they came in. Marlene and the lemurs got into the zipped bag, and the penguins in theirs. After a few bumps and painful tosses, they unzipped it to find they were on the luggage pick up area. Destiny pushed the bag open, and ran off to look for the lemurs, and Marlene. After a few stumbles through the clustered bags, she finally found them. She grabbed them, and they headed off to the others. They scurried off to find the motorcycle. It was being carried off by two airport security gaurds. They couldn't reach it, so they ducked under a table by a cafe like area. They were carrying it as if they were taking it to somebody.

"What are they doing with your motorcycle, Destiny?" Private asked. They carried it swiftly into an employees only area.

"I'm not sure. Let's take a look." She told the others to follow her. Julian snickered.

He looked at the tiniest bird, and a look of defiance was in his eye. "I wish you the best of luck." He smiled. She grabbed his tail, restricting his escape.

"Nice try king Johnny. I know the way you type are. Just stay with the group. You promised you would help. I'm keeping that offer over your head." She dragged Julian by the tail, and they ran across the floor. They hid under an old lady's walker, When the coast was clear, they ran into the employees only area. She held the door open signaling everyone to go. They slid in, and the lemurs and Marlene had ran in. The hid behind some boxes, and watched as they drug it into the middle of the room. The room was dark, but they coud see the Harley shimmering. "They are a bunch of theives." She whispered to Private."

"Oh man. A nice polished tough 2009 night train Harley Davidson. Do you know how much this will sell for?" Said one of the theives.

Destiny turned in Rico's direction. "Rico hand me a black marker." He spat one in her wing. She used in on her white feathers, beak, and feet. The only thing that showed were her beautiful blue eyes. She was walking towards the Harley, but Kowalski grabbed her shoulder.

"You can't go out there. They'll tear you up!"

"I like that bike, Big K." She whispered. She only called him Big K. when she was ready to bring the pain. A rope was nearby that was meant to tie boxes together. She lowered herself down with it. She hopped down, near the two men, and kept low to the ground. "Nobody steals my bike, and gets away with it." She snarled she looked up at the two men, and shouted "Hey!"

The crouched down and smiled. "Aww look at her, she's such a cute penguin. Let's step on her!" They never got the chance, when Destiny slammed their heads together. In one quick move, the theives fell to the floor, unconcious. She grabbed Julian's arms, and the rest of the animals ran up to the bike with her. Apparently Destiny wasn't in the mood for waiting till they got out of the airport. She grabbed a large Helmet out of her shoulder bag, and put it on. It was the purest white, granted the visor which was black, hiding her the black marker was still on her wings, It was really pretty.

She was getting ready, quickly. "Now everybody, The distance from Las Vegas to Lake Tahoe is over 400 miles. It will take about 8 hours to get there, and that's not counting eating time, and bathroom breaks." Her whole head was covered by the helmet, and it was pretty big, but it looked like she made it herself. She pulled them all up in accordance to weight distribution. She pulled Mort up by his tail, and gently laid him on the bike. "Okay, sad eyes. Here's what you do. You hold on to my shoulders, or lock your paws around my waist, if you can, okay?" She said carefully.

Mort smiled. "Okay." He wrapped his arms around her waist, and held on tight.

She pointed to Maurice. "Alright. Now you eye eye. You hang on to sad eyes. Hang on tight." He hopped up to the Harley, and mimmicked Mort's gesture. "Rico. Up on!" She grinned. He flipped up to the bike, giving Maurice a kung fu grip cling. "Rico. Grab king Jimmy, and haul him up here." Rico grabbed him, and pulled him up to the motor bike. Destiny turned around, and looked at him in the eye, though they couldn't see behind the motorcycle helmet. "I will tell you now, king. We can't afford any mistakes Jimony. Remember that." She turned back towards the front and called them up. "Private, you're next. King Jake, help him up."

"Uhh that's Julian." He sneered. He picked the tiny penguin up, and sat him behind him.

She turned around, and called for Marlene and Kowalski on back seat. Kowalski jumped up, and helped Marlene, in front of him. She looked and saw everybody on the bike. She put the key in the ignition. "Alright, I've made some adjustments myself, and they are used in case. Nobody is to touch any buttons, and everybody is to wear helmets. Rico do you have anything?" He regurgtitated seven blue plastic helmets, and gave everybody one. "Next, I can't afford any casualties. Since you all are now my team, we will not let each other down. When I jump off the bike, you jump off the bike. This bike has been my most trusted tool to get out of trouble, but it means nothing in comparrison to you all." She said looking forward. "And lastly. We are in search of Skipper. If I'm caught, don't worry about me, just get my brother out. Are we all clear?" They all said yes. "Good, now let's head out." She grabbed her key ring. Private saw a goofy one that said I brake in Denmark. With a roar, the motorcycle came to life with a twist of the key. Private knew there would be madness, seeing four penguins, three lumrs, and a otter driving a motorcycle. and he got preparred. "And away we go!" She shot out the door, leaving the theives in the dust.

The motorcycle burst through the door, and everyone screamed as they dove out of the way for her, and the others. She drove out of the doors, and looked at where she was, she jumped on to a road, and in no time they were surrounded by Casinos, and there was a giant sign that said, Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas Nevada. They were passing the Bellagio fountains, when Rico took a picture of them. They were beautiful at night. They saw it all in one quick sweep. The eiffel tower, the luxor, the statosphere. It was all there. Private gapped at the beauty. They stopped abruptly in front of the entrance of Ceasars Palace.

Destiny took off her helmet, and her feathers stuck up. Each one wafted like a feathery afro. She didn't seem to notice them all smiling, and giggling. She shrugged it off. "Alright does anybody need to do anything before we head off?" She looked at everyone, and they shook their heads no. "Alright lets head on out. Destiny went through the city to grab different supplies. She stopped at a zoo, to grab some supplies for the four newest members of the group. The boys went with her, while Marlene, and the lemurs stayed behind.

Marlene looked over at Maurice. "Do you think Skipper's alright?" She asked curiously. Maurice looked out in the blankness of the desert. It seemed to stretch for miles on end. He had never seen such distance of openess, except for the open sea back in Madagascar. He looked back at Marlene.

He sighed heavily. "I'm not really sure. Destiny seems to believe he's fine." Marlene nodded, still concerned. "Don't worry, Marlene. We'll find him. I just know it." She smiled, and hugged Maurice. About ten minutes later, Destiny came back with fruits, and other supplies, and the team sped off towards the desert.
