Chapter 8 ~ What's Happening?

For the past few days, the pigs began to settle in, setting up the stuff, and making themselves at home ever since they arrived. Y/N and Red began to worry what the pigs are gonna do even that Leonard character. You are walking in town to take a break from flying when you bumped into Red. You guys are heading off to go grab some lunch as they walk together. On their way, they were stopped at the cross walk, to let the chicks cross. But it was different than before. Instead the chicks were being carried by the pigs.

"Piggyback rides? Oh boy.."

"I know, right? Because they're PIGS."

Red chuckle at your joke. When they were gone, they continue to walk and see the group of pigs with the judge, standing in front of the nursery for eggs. They want to do a group picture. They huddled up and began to smile.

"Everybody say cheese!"

"Cheese!"

"-omelet.." Leonard said in hush tone to Ross who laughs at it.

Y/N though heard thinking what the heck is cheese-omelet. That made her even more suspicious. Leonard noticed you, giving you a smile and wave at you. You flushed and look away telling yourself no and no to never fall for that. Red pulled you away seeing him do that glaring at him, earning a smugly look from him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As you two went to grab lunch, the group of pigs launches at the table and ate them all up. Y/N's eyes widen in disbelief same as Red who only get to receive an apple. A short pig comes up and licks the apple off Red's plate, disgusting them. Chuck jumps on, dressed as a cowboy, dancing while singing a little on the table. You shook your head at his ridiculous behavior.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Y/N is sitting on top of the branch of the tree, reading the book she got from the boat earlier. Turning the page as she read it.

"So I am a Spix's Macaw. And some may survive by breeding in order to bring the two of them together to save their species. I never knew. So that's why I'm still alive.. I can't believe they would die from survival in the wild." she mumbled.

She turned the next page not noticing someone from behind was listening while someone else is walking towards her in front.

"Wow. Interesting. Our beak and tongue are powerful. Huh.."

"Hey, Y/N! What are you doing up there?" someone called and she looked down to find Stella.

You flew down with the book in your hand.

"Just reading. It's about....my kind."

Stella looked at it and frowned to see your expression.

"What happened to your family?"

"Don't know. But I do know that all of my kinds are dying from wild for unknown reasons. It's not fair. And now I'm the only Spix's or Blue Macaw that's left." Y/N explained looking down.

"That sounds awful. What if they are still out there?"

"If they are, I don't know what I would do. But this Bird Island have given me real home. I have you and others. That's all I want." you said brushing out the sadness.

Stella smiled at you even though she doesn't know you that much, she's happy for her to get a life she want.

"Oh and what brings you here?"

"Ah! I came here to ask you to help me with serving. If you're not busy that is."

"Nah I'm free. Let's go."

The girls then left unaware of someone spying on them. Ross who was listening was shocked to hear this.

"I can't believe she's the blue macaw. This will be huge for Leonard." he said taking a note before running away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Y/N was helping carrying the stack of trays and bowls for the customers. She carefully placed them on each table for the family or couple. Almost done as she was moving not knowing where she was going, accidentally bumped into someone. The food, bowls, and tray fell out of her hand and dropped to the ground. 

"Whoops! I'm so sorry! I was so busy serving I didn't know where I was going!" she said picking up the mess with someone helping her out.

"It's alright, sweetheart." they respond which caused her to cringe knowing who, looking up to see him again. 

She noticed a few pigs around him acting oddly. Shaking it off as she finished picking things up with the help of Leonard. She quietly thanked him without facing him. He smiled at her act.

"You're welcome. Why don't you come and hang out with me a bit?"

"Can't I'm helping my friend out."

"Well, my pigs can take care of that."

"Nope. I can take care of myself. Plus I have class tomorrow."

"Class, eh? May I ask what for?"

"It's for Ange-"

"Hey, Y/N! Do you mind helping me with the dishes for a sec?"

They look over to see Stella waving her over. You sighed in relief, apologizing to Leonard that she's busy right now.

"No problem. Always come and see me if you need help. My Blueberry~"

Y/N shivered and twitched at that name. That was the name her father call her. No one should call her that except her dad. She started to grow angry clenching her fist. Before she could let out, she calmed down taking a deep breath not wanting to make a scene and head over to Stella.

"That guy is really into you."

"No way. He is not my type. I'd rather lick the bathroom than be with him. Plus don't you see something suspicious about those pigs? Aren't you worried?"

"Well, the truth is I am. But I don't see them in full harm."

Y/N sighed knowing she can't convince her.

"Just be careful with them, okay?"

"I will."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day, Y/N decided to come over to Red's place so they could walk to class together. As she made it to the beach, she spotted many pigs having fun, swimming, and relaxing. She flew up to avoid them and knocked on the door. She could hear Red's complain as he told the pig to get the toothbrush out of him. When he heard the knock, he opened it well tried to open it because the pig is sleeping in front of his door blocking it.

"This place seemed rather rackus." Y/N commented.

"It's a disaster. I can't sleep. I can't eat in peace. Or have some alone time."

"How about you crash into my place for now? Until we get you a new home to set up." she suggested.

"Are you sure about that? I don't want to bother you."

"It's fine. I don't have that much visitors well except for Stella."

They both smile as Red pack up his things before being carried away flying up the sky. Once they made to her treehouse, she helped him with his stuff till they're finished.

"You know. It really means a lot to me for you to look out for me."

"That's what friends do."

Red's heart started to pang when he heard her calling him friend instead of something more. Wait, why would he think that way? He shook his head trying to remove the romantic thought.

"Red, can I ask you why those birds don't like you? Or treating you like an outsider?"

......

"It's because of my childhood past. And let me tell you. It's a bad one. They have been calling me eyebrows because of the way that my eyebrows look. I got angry that they would call me that. They even hurt my feelings. I have no friends or family that care about me. All because of my anger. I just thought anger will help me with my problem and that they will leave me alone.."

Red looked away not wanting to look sad. He tried to make it sound boring when it hurts him.

"The past is in the past. And anger will not always help you with your problem. It'll only make things worst. But there is one thing I'm glad is that you get to be honest and speak up."

"....You really mean that?"

"Of course. Thats why I'm here to help you with your problem."

The two birds haven't said a word besides staring at each other as if the magnite is pulling them closer.

"Um... we should head to class right now. Don't want Matilda to get angry." you blushed.

Red nodded and headed over to class along with her.
