“Hooray for our heroes!”
“Oh Zack, you saved us again!” Sassy, Conurechick, Andrea, Marianna and Sunny rushed to engulf Zack in a hug.
Bubbles growled, rushing into the crowd of hens hugging her brother. “We all did it!”
Chloe, Morty, and Jinx pulled Bubbles back. “It’s ok, Bubbs. The Zack hug is a tradition in our stories.”
Bubbles growled, but retreated into the anipals with her friends.
A horn honked as Jeff Musk pulled in the French Fry Express. “Sunday Funday!” he proclaimed.
“Wow, we can make a party anyday,” Chloe said.
“It’s Anipal Land!” Jeff Musk said. “It’s what we do! Gather round, everybody!”
The anipals gathered around the feast gathered in the courtyard of the castle.
“So what of the BudgieBots?” Ringostarr asked. “Will they be back for us?”
“There’s no need to be afraid,” ConureChick said. “Between our virus, the magnets, Bubbles interface, and Chloe and
Jinx’s masterful ‘keet flinging, those bots will think twice before coming back.”
“They won’t,” Bubbles said. “I hacked into their communications. The cybernetics weren’t happy with them for blowing their
cover. Now, the humans know they’re out there. I just hope they’ll get ready.”
“We’ll see,” Jinx said.
“And we upgraded the computer system and yarnbot peremiter,” Quarkybirdy said. “Now we’re scanning for bots too. I don’t think we’ll have any more fire breathing, puppet armies, or BudgieBots sneaking up on us any time soon.”
“Did we get too complacent in our peacetime?” Ringostarr asked.
“I think we got distracted by our parronts’ issues,” Jinx said. “It’s been a tough year for many of our human companions.”
“That’s true,” Andrea said. “Here’s hoping this silly adventure is a sign of blessing and better days ahead.”
“I hope so,” Zack said, his feathers mussed from his hen hug. “We pray for our friends all the time, and we all need some fun in our lives. Humans tend to forget that when they’re sick, hurt, or stressed.”
“Then it’s up to us to cheer them up!” Jeff Musk said. He raised a toast of juice. “To our humans, friends, and more happy adventures in the future!”
“Here here!” the anipals raised a toast and cheered in the sunny afternoon party.
