The scene opens at the lemur habitat of the Central Park Zoo. The sun was up and the zoo had yet to open for the day. In the habitat we come across several wanyama sitting at the tiki bar. Off in another area of the habitat a certain lemur king was napping in the sun while a smaller lemur was eyeing his feet. Among the wanyama sitting at the tiki were a penguin, two otters, two badgers, a pudgy lemur, and two chimps. wewe know who they are. They were all sitting around and chattering about various topics.
After a while one the chimps turned to the otter with dark brown fur, manyoya and asked, "So Dave a number of us heard about your medali that wewe earned when wewe were human. We heard that they had been sent to you. We were wondering if wewe wouldn't mind inaonyesha them to us and telling us about them?"
Dave who had been drinking a smoothie at the time of the question, gagged on his drink. He coughed a little and looked back at Mason who had asked the question.
"Who told wewe about my medals?" he asked.
Dave then slowly turned his head to Marlene and gave her the evil eye.
Private then jumped up and said, "No Dave it wasn't Marlene who told everyone. I told everyone."
Dave turned to Private.
"How did wewe know about my medals? And what did I say about keeping your beak shut about private matters man?" Dave asked.
Private thought for and gave Dave an answer.
"Sorry Dave and uh classified," Private answered weakly.
Dave nodded and said, "I see."
Dave turned back to Mason and said, "I don't know Mason. My past is really not something I like to dwell on. There are just too many bad memories. I Lost too many Marafiki and took too many lives. The Army life was a hard one."
Becky and Stacy voiced up next.
"You know I heard somewhere that talking about bad memories can actually make them feel better," Becky alisema to Dave.
Dave turned to her and asked, "Where did wewe hear that?"
Stacy answered him.
"Heard it from this guy on T.V. He had a mustache and a bald head and is always talking to people about their problems and trying to help them," she said.
"That's right Dave. Your past may haunt you, but if wewe talk about it wewe might feel better about it. You'll never know if wewe don't try," Mason alisema to Dave.
Phil signed in agreement.
Dave looked at everyone and said, "I still don't know guys. What if I break down while in the middle of-"
Dave didn't get to finish because Marlene interuppted him.
"It'll be okay Dave. If wewe need to cry, go ahead and cry. No one will judge you," Marlene alisema and patted Dave's shoulder.
Dave thought hard for another moment. He sighed and then made his decision.
"Alright everyone. If wewe want me to, I'll tell wewe all about my medals. I just need to go get them," he said.
Dave jumped up from his kiti, kiti cha and left the lemur habitat. He returned a few dakika later with a metal case and opened it up. One kwa one he took his medali out and laid them on the counter of the bar. He took out his purple hearts, soldier's medal, and distinguished service cross. He reached over and picked up his first purple moyo and began his story.
