Lenny thought to himself, I may not know what Alice and Percy were talking about, but I do know that it involves a party of some kind. I may also not know why they won't tell me what's going on, but I'm gonna find out! He then found a fresh strawberry pear and continued thinking, I also have no idea what kind of fruit this is, but I'm gonna eat it anyway! He then took a bite out of it. Mmmm. Not bad.

  Lenny gathered his younger siblings up and said, "Guys, I need your help. I need you to act as interrogation agents."

  As this was only met with confusion from the younger children, Lenny explained, "I need you guys to go up to Alice, ask her what's going on, and then tell me. Think you can do that?"

  "Oke-doke, artichoke!" Millie responded cheerfully. She skipped up to Alice and asked, "Alice, what were you and Percy talking about? Girl stuff?"

  Alice simply laughed and answered, "Of course not, silly Millie. Percy's a boy."

  "A boy?" the younger female monkey repeated in perplexity, "Then how come he's got a girl's name?"

  "Actually, Millie, Percy is a boy's name," Alice explained. 

  "Oohhh," Millie thought about it for a bit and then asked, "Are there any other boy's names that sound like girl's names?"

  "Sure, there are plenty," Alice replied, "like Leslie."

  "Wow!" Millie was amazed, "Well, what were you talking about then?"

  "Well, I'll tell you," Alice relented, "but you need to promise me that you won't tell anyone, especially not Lenny."

  "Uuuhhh..." Millie was reluctant at first, but then Alice chimed in, "I'll get you one of Oliver's old bandannas."

  Millie's eyes lit up, and she enthusiastically said, "I swear to you and the big, blue skies above!"

  "Okay," Alice leaned towards Millie and whispered into the little monkey's ear, "Today is Lenny's birthday, and the other guys and I are setting up a surprise birthday party."

  "Oooohhhh!" Millie uttered, "Can Orlando, Nathan, and I come, too?"

  "Sure thing," Alice happily answered.
