Everyone gathered to heard Alex's plan/idea for the circus and wonder what he had planned for them to do in the circus.

"We are gonna rethink everything anybody's ever known about circus! I call it Phase 4-7B, wherein, in order to get home, we will come up with something fresh, something amazing, something brand-new! Fresh, never before seen! Off the chain! Something that'll blow that circus promoter away!" Alex said throwing his arms in the air.

He ended up only getting knifes almost outlining his body and the circus animals were not okay with his plan/idea of changing the circus up a little bit or whatever her had planned.

(Name) face-palmed her forehead again at Alex's plan/idea and sighed heavily at what he had planned to blow the circus promoter away as her (hair/fur color) ears and tails twitched.

"I missed." Vitaly said grumpily coming out of a throwing position.

"Who do you think you are?!" Gia shouted in confusion at what Alex said for his plan/idea.

"Are you kidding? I'm gonna chew his leg off!" One of the dogs, Jonesy said angrily.

"Circus has been same for generations! We make good, classic family entertainment." Vitaly said not realizing what had happened at the circus performance in Rome.

"Aha! But last few generations, families. . .not so entertained." Stefano stated the fact.

The other circus animals looked at him, causing him to smile sheepishly.

"Mmm. . ." Stefano said now keeping quiet.

"That's right. Families not so entertained because you're just going through the motions out there. It's missing passion." (Name) said mentioning passion.

"How one to have passion for stool poked in face?" Vitaly asked.

"Exactly! And by stool, you mean, chair, right?" Marty asked to clarify what Vitaly asked.

"The fact is, you guys, you got stuck in a rut. You stopped pushing, you stopped taking risks. But those days are over. Because now we're going to completely change the show." Alex said.

"Then it wouldn't be circus, would it?" Freddie asked.

(Name) smiled softly and bent down to the dogs' level of height.

"Circus is not about the acts you do. Circus is here." (Name) explained as she pointed to Freddie's chest, making Freddie to look down his dress and same with the other dogs.

"How come Freddie gets all the circus?" Jonesy asked curiously.

Freddie then punched Jonesy in the face with the back of his fist.

"Circus is about following your passions, whenever they take you!" Alex said.

"Pfft. You can't change circus. There is long tradition!" Vitaly explaining about tradition.

"That's what everybody thought, Vitaly, until those French Canadians came along, drunk off their maple syrup and cheap pharmaceuticals, and completely flipped the paradigm." (Name) said.

"Now they play Vegas. Fifty shows a day in 52 separate Venues. And one of them completely in the nude." Marty said.

"Yeah, that's right. And you know how they did it?" Alex asked.

"Take offa their clothes?" Stefano asked.

"No. They got rid of the animals!" (Name) said as a dramatic effect.

"What?" Stefano questioned.

"Say it ain't so!" Marty said as another dramatic effect.

The circus animals started to shout angry shouts.

"Che stupida! No animals. . .How could they?!" Stefano asked with a hint of anger in his voice.

Marty then helped Alex onto a crate for the animals to see him talk more while they were agreeing with Stefano.

"Well, you know what I say to that! I say they can take the animals out of the circus, but they cannot take the animals out of the circus! I mean, they cannot. . .I think you understand what I'm saying!" Alex said as he started to see the animals get confused.

"Yeah!" The circus animals shouted happily.

"Yes!" Marty said.

"No!" King Julien said.

(Name) rolled her eyes and smiled softly.

"We don't need humans because we've got passion. What does a human say when he's passionate? He says "I'm an animal!" Well, we are animals!" (Name) said.

"Yeah!" The circus animals said and cheered.

Sonia The Bear roars in agreement.

"We'll make an all-animal circus! Because if we follow our passion, we can go anywhere." Alex said.

"Anywhere!" Marty said.

"We can do anything!" (Name) said looking at all of the circus animals with a honest look.

"Anything!" Marty said having his back up against (Name)'s back.

"If we do it together!" Alex said with courage in his voice.

"All of us!" Marty and (Name) said.

"Yeah. . .Yeah, yeah!" The circus animals said agreeing.

"Our circus!" (Name) said smiling at the circus animals.

"Yeah! Yeah!" The horses said.

"We're in! We'll have some of that!" Freddie said looking up at (Name) who smiled brightly him.

"Can I hear you say "fur power"?" (Name) asked.

"Fur power!" Gia said happily.

"Fur power! Fur power! Fur power! Fur power! Fur power!" The circus animals said in chant.

"Take our circus back and we'll do it together! That's right!" Alex said.

"You and me, baby! What?! An act together!" Gloria said excitedly.

"I love it!" Melman said smiling at his lover being happy.

"We can do that funk and groove dance thing!" Gloria said.

"Dance?" Melman asked as his smile faded away at her idea of dancing.

"This thing right here. Look. Me and you! We got this!" Gloria said showing a quick dance before going off with the others.

"But I-I-I-I-I can't dance." Melman said softly.

"Fur power! Chanting is fun! Chanting is fun! Chanting is fun!" Stefano said happily.

"Fur power! Fur power! Fur power! Fur power!" Gia and (Name) chanted together.

Vitaly grunted in disapproval and threw his throwing knife down into the ground.

"I do not trust this lion." Vitaly said grumpily.

"Vitaly, I may not trust him either, but I am tired of sitting and standing and rolling over." Gia said not wanting to go back to how the circus was.

"It is great tradition of sitting, standing, rolling over." Vitaly said not wanting to change the tradition of the circus to something new.

"You know our circus is in trouble. This could be our last chance. But we will not do this without you." Gia said.

(Name) nodded in agreement to what she meant.

"Circus always stay together." Stefano and (Name) said looking at Vitaly.

Vitaly eventually gave in.

"OK. I do one hoop." Vitaly said looking at Gia and (Name).

(Name) squealed happily and Gia giggled a little as (Name), Gia, and Vitaly hugged.

"I want a hug, too!" Stefano said going between Gia and Vitaly for the hug.

As everyone was practicing their acts, Vitaly looked over to see (Name) singing for the dogs while dancing with the horses.

He watched at how amazingly shed sang and danced.

Vitaly smirked at (Name) singing for the dogs while dancing with the horses.

[(Name):]

When I need motivation

My one solution is my queen

'Cause she stays strong

She is always in my corner

Right there when I want her

All these other girls are tempting

But I'm empty when you're gone

And they say,

"Do you need me?

Do you think I'm pretty?

Do I make you feel like cheating?"

I'm like, "No, not really 'cause

Ooh, I think that I've found myself a cheerleader

She is always right there when I need her

Ooh, I think that I've found myself a cheerleader

She is always right there when I need her."

Well she walks like a model

She grants my wishes

Like a genie in the bottle

Saying yeah, yeah

I'm a wizard of love and I got the magic wand

All these other girls are tempting

But I'm empty when you're gone

"Do you need me?

Tell me do you think I'm pretty?

Do I make you feel like cheating?"

I'm like, "No, not really 'cause

Ooh, I think that I've found myself a cheerleader

She is always right there when I need her

Ooh, I think that I've found myself a cheerleader

She is always right there when I need her."

She gives me love and affection

Baby did I mention,

Gives me love and affection

Baby did I mention,

Gives me love and affection

(Right there, right there, when I need her)

Baby did I mention,

Gives me love and affection

Baby did I mention,

Gives me love and affection

(Do you need me?

Tell me, tell me, tell me

Do you think I'm pretty?

Tell me, tell me, tell me

Do you need me?

Tell me, tell me, tell me)

Baby did I mention,

Gives me love and affection

Baby did I mention,

Gives me love and affection

Baby did I mention,

Gives me

Ooh, I think that I've found myself a cheerleader

She is always right there when I need her

Ooh, I think that I've found myself a cheerleader

She is always right there when I need her

(End)

As (Name) finished singing, the dogs and horses thanked her for joining her while she was practicing her act for the circus.

(Name) then bumped into Vitaly with her back, causing her to squeak.

She turned around to look up at him fully since she was at the (height) for teenage girls.

"I didn't mean to bump into you, Vitaly. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. I'm so sorry about that." (Name) said looking down at the ground.

Vitaly smirked as he placed his paw under (Name)'s chin and lifted her head up to look at him fully with their eyes looking at each other once again.

"It's okay, (Name). You didn't mean to." Vitaly said.

(Name) blushed deeply a crimson red blush and looked to the side while smiling softly.

"My friends call me (Nickname), in case if my name was long or if they wanted to give me a nickname when I was in New York City." (Name) said looking at Vitaly again as she was still blushing deeply a crimson red blush on her face.

"Well, (Nickname), you will do good on your act in the circus." Vitaly said.

(Name) smiled at what he said before Alex told everyone to get back on the train.
