Rayman Legends Adventures in Chicken Little/Script

It was a beautiful day out today and it felt like nothing could go wrong.
"Here's your lunch, Tod, I'll see you later," Widow Tweed grinned to her fox as she set a bowl of food down for him outside, "now, you stay out here until I'm done cleaning."
Tod grinned back to her before eating the food as she went inside to do some spring cleaning. After completing his food, Tod went on his own. Suddenly, a hole was being dug up and Patch came out.
"Patch," Tod gasped.
"Hey, buddy," Patch grinned to the fox kit, "you busy?"
"No," Tod said.
"Alright, you wanna come to headquarters," Patch asked.
"Huh..." Tod hummed before turning back to Widow Tweed and shrugged, "sure, why not?"
Then the two dug underground together to get to Pound Puppies Headquarters as Patch had something to show Tod.
"Well, is something happening," Tod asked.
"We found out something that you might be interested in," Patch replied.
Tod looked emotional and curious. The last time was finding out that Nick Wilde from Zootopia was his long-lost uncle, what was next? Once they got to the headquarters, Tod couldn't control his emotion.
"Tod," the Pound Puppies greeted just like he was one of them even though he was a fox kit.
"Hey, guys," Tod grinned back, "well, uh...what's up?"
"Tod, we found another one of your relatives," Strudel informed.
"Really," Tod grinned out of emotion.
"Yes, and guess who's going to come with you to meet them," Lucky asked.
"Is it Copper," Tod's eyes lit up hopefully about his best friend in the entire wide world despite the difference in their species.
"Not just him," Nick's voice said.
Tod turned around and gasped. "Uncle Nick!"
"Hey, jocko..." Nick grinned before looking around, "well, then this is the part of the world you live in?"
"Yes," Tod nodded.
Copper was now walking over to Tod.
"Copper," Tod beamed.
"Hey, Tod," Copper grinned back before seeing Patch's girlfriend there, "oh, hello, Colette, how's, um...Danielle?"
"She's doing grand," Colette said.
"Why," Patch smirked.
"Erm...no reason..." Copper blushed.
"You like her, don't ya," Colette smirked.
"What? No..." Copper blushed and hesitantly scratched behind his ear as a hesitant twinge.
"Sure," Patch smirked playfully.
"Uh...well, Uncle Nick, do you have a daughter," Tod asked his uncle.
"No, why do you ask," Nick replied.
"Patch says we're gonna see my cousin," Tod explained.
"Cousin," Nick paused to think, "huh...oh! You must mean Foxy Loxy...I forget whose side of the family she's on, but she's a sneaky little fact sometimes."
"That sounds bad," Tod said.
"Yes, I'm afraid Foxy's a bit of a troublesome kit from what I remember..." Nick replied, "from what I remember, she's in somewhere called Oakey Oaks."
"Yes," Patch nodded, "Alec said there's a reluctant factor about to go on over there with the one they call Chicken Little."
"Chicken Little," Tod asked out of confusion.
"Yes, he let me borrow this book," Patch replied before taking out a book and held it in his paws since he was a familiar now, "the only child born to Buck Cluck and his late wife, Chloe Cluck, in the town of Oakey Oaks. He is a middle school student who is more or less the town laughing stock for thinking that the heavens are falling."
"Why did he think that," Tod asked.
"That, I haven't been able to figure out, but it says something fell on his head and his father thought it was an acorn," Patch replied from reading the Chicken Little booklet.
"Wow," Copper said.
"I feel like maybe he had a dream," Patch guessed, "dreams can impact people a lot sometimes, especially Joanie."
"Right," Lucky nodded, "well, you guys will visit Oakey Oaks to help out Chicken Little and his friends, Abbey Mallard, Fish Out of Water and Runt of the Litter."
"Familiar time....." Patch said before standing on his hind legs like a young boy, "does anyone have clothes we could borrow?"
"I should have something in the closet," Cookie offered as she walked with Colette.
And where they had plenty of clothes for the group.
"Pick your favorites," Cookie grinned to the younger ones.
"Thanks, Cookie," Patch grinned back as he walked into the closet with his friends for their adventure.
And where soon they chose what clothes to wear. Nick waited for the others as he was checking out his phone and soon grinned as he liked status updates from Judy with a rather dreamy look in his eyes despite him being a fox and her being a bunny rabbit.
"Alright, we're ready," Copper said.
"Oh, uh...fine," Nick grinned to them, "I'll drive."
"Joanie and Jesse won't mind you gone, will they," Copper asked Patch since he didn't see the usual humans going on an adventure themselves.
"No," Patch said.
"What are they up to anyhow," Colette asked.
"Some emergency festival, I think..." Patch shrugged, "I think it might be Twilight's Friendship Festival that she's going to invite everybody in Equestria for with that pop star: Songbird Serenade."
"Why aren't you going with," Tod asked.
Before the Dalmatian could respond, Jesse came in his dog form.
"Jesse," Patch beamed, "how's the preparation for the festival going?"
"Um, I apparently have the day wrong; it's not today, but a week from today," Jesse grinned bashfully.
"Aw..." Patch replied, "well, where are Joanie and Gertie then?"
"Gertie's stuck in her annual lessons with her Aunt Sarah and Joanie, well, she's getting used to walking on all fours," Jesse said.
"Joanie's coming as well then," Patch asked.
"Yeah, she was right behind me, but like I said..." Jesse nodded.
"Why, me," Joanie moaned as she came in in her own dog form. "Why did I have to be a smelly, lousy, loud, annoying-" she looked to the other dogs and grinned hesitantly, "eh...hello there, Pound Pooches."
"Pound Puppies," Jesse corrected.
"Right..." Joanie grinned hesitantly, "uh, I wasn't speaking about you dogs, I meant some others."
"Any matter, let's change the subject," Patch said.
"Right...well, where are we going," Joanie asked.
"We're gonna see Chicken Little," Patch replied.
Joanie's eyes widened, soon she let out one leg and zipped out of headquarters to avoid going. Soon she was blocked by a dog version of Alec.
"Erm...nice doggy," she grinned hesitantly.
Alec bit onto her collar and dragged her back to the others.
"I'm going, aren't I," Joanie moaned.
"Yes..." Alec replied.
"You look kinda eerie as a dog..." Joanie shivered, "why did you have to be one of the eeriest dog breeds in the species?"
"I don't know," Alec shrugged.
Joane shivered and hid behind Jesse.
"Disgrace that Gertie can't join us, but we're all set to go if you guys are," Jesse grinned to his dog.
"Thanks, Jesse," Patch grinned back, "and I can't wait until that Friendship Festival in Equestria."
"You mean the one that's next week," Alec asked.
"Yes, that..." Patch nodded.
"Twilight asked us to come over to go over some planning before she would warn Celestia, Luna and Cadence," Jesse explained.
"Ooh," Alec grinned.
"Yes, I'm really emotional for if it starts," Jesse grinned back, "it's gonna be bigger than the Grand Galloping Gala, the birth of Flurry Heart, the Canterlot Wedding, it's just gonna be amazing!"
"That sure is," Patch grinned.
"Well...I'll check my schedule to see if I can make it..." Alec replied to them, "but for right now, we must go to Oakey Oaks."
"Why do I have to go," Joanie complained, "I don't even like the story of Chicken Little."
"Because if you don't; I'll torture you by sending you into Pinkie Pie's mind," Alec smirked.
"NO!! PLEASE," Joanie begged, "I'm so young!"
"Then you're going with them," Alec said.
Joanie shuddered and moaned.
"I'm looking into the coordinates right now," Strudel warned the others as they got dressed.
"That's nice," Jesse grinned.
"It shouldn't take so long," Strudel replied, "I really hope you all have a nice journey."
"I'm sure we will," Jesse replied, "I mean, what could possibly go wrong?"
Joanie face-pawed at the question especially since she was forced into this.
"Found it," Strudel warned them once she found them a road into Oakey Oaks.
"It's perfect," Jesse grinned.
Once they had the information, they were set to get going on their mission. Alec and the others went underground while Joanie just stood there and smirked as she was about to dig the hole back up. Unfortunately for her, she was stopped. Cookie took a deep breath and barked louder. Joanie yelped and soon fell into the hole after the others.
"Nice for you to join us," Alec smirked.
"I hate you..." Joanie mumbled as she was literally dragged into this.
Patch took the lead as everyone followed after him.
"Well, first I have an uncle, and now I have a cousin..." Tod commented, "I do wonder what's next, I'm descended from Robin Hood?"
"Robin Hood wasn't a fox," Joanie scoffed.
"Let's keep going," Patch said.
"Good boy," Joanie smiled.
Sure enough, Patch dug up into the surface as he came up in front of the welcome sign of Oakey Oaks along with a billboard for a movie called 'Crazy Little Chicken: The Movie'.
"Wow," Patch said.
Soon everyone else came back out of the hole as they were in Oakey Oaks now.
"Okay, according to this, Chicken Little is a school student, and we need to see Principal Fetchit to get enrolled," Patch warned everyone as he read a plan he made since Jesse taught him how.
"Which fashion is that to the school," Tod asked.
"It should be...that fashion," Patch replied before pointing one direction.
There was a school bus that had a bunch of animal students run to get onto it, though a young chicken boy seemed to miss it and it seemed to be driving off without him.
"One of us should stop that bus," Copper said.
"I have it," Jesse said before zipping away like a cheetah.
Joanie spun around slightly in dizziness before flopping on the ground.
"Goosey, if that chicken starts running after the bus, hand me my acorns," Foxy Loxy smirked to her sidekick.
Goosey nodded with a honk. Soon the bus was driving away and soon Chicken Little tried to run after it since the driver didn't seem to notice him. Soon Jesse arrived in front of the bus. The bus driver whistled to himself before jolting slightly as the bus was suddenly stopped, and which ruined Foxy Loxy's plan.
"Excuse me, but you forgot some new students and a regular one," Jesse warned the stork bus driver.
"Oh, uh, my bad..." the stork grinned sheepishly.
"C'mon, gang," Jesse grinned to the others.
"I'll meet you guys in school," Alec called out as the others came onto the bus with Chicken Little.
"Dang it," Foxy Loxy moaned.
Goosey Loosey did her best to console her friend. Foxy Loxy rolled her eyes as Chicken Little and the others came onto the bus. Jesse grinned politely before he went to sit down with Joanie while Patch decided to sit with Chicken Little to become a hopeful friend. Soon Tod and Copper sat together. They grinned to each other as they were going to be school students for today.
"Well, uh...do you really like Danielle," Tod asked.
"Yes..." Copper stared at the floor while blushing, "isn't there a fox girl that you like?"
"No, I've never met one....." Tod shrugged, "I'm the only fox in the neighborhood."
"Oh, well, I'm sure you'll meet one someday," Copper said.
Tod nodded before looking out the window. Goosey honked to her best friend and gestured to Tod.
Foxy Loxy looked over to Tod before shrugging. "No, I don't think I know that boy."
Goosey began to honk a few more times as she looked at both Tod and her best friend.
Foxy Loxy looked to both Tod and Copper. "He's friends with a hound dog?!"
Goosey nodded.
"Why," Foxy asked.
Goosey shrugged a questioning honk. Tod and Copper began to get curious looks at them from almost everyone.
"I kinda wish Uncle Nick could've rode the bus with us," Tod muttered as he hugged his own tail in concern.
"Don't worry," Copper soothed, "he and Alec will be at the school."
"Hey, uh, thanks for stopping the bus for me..." Chicken Little warned Patch, "no one's ever done that for me before."
"No problem," Patch said.
"You're new kids, right," Chicken Little asked, "I guess that's why you're being nice to me. Everybody calls me the Crazy Chicken."
"Why's that," Patch asked even if he did know.
Chicken Little sighed. "Well, last year, I was sure the heavens were falling...I saw something shaped like a stop sign, but it was blue with a white cloud on it, but my dad warned everyone it was just an acorn and everyone keeps making fun of me for it."
"Yikes," Patch winced.
Chicken Little bowed his head with a sigh. "Oh, well, at least I yet have my friends."
Soon the bus stopped and the students got off of the bus to hang out until the bell would ring and bring them into class.
"Hey, Chicken Little, you're on time for once," a rather hideous duckling grinned.
"GAH," Joanie winced and flinched, "what just happened to your face?!"
The duckling frowned. "I was born this fashion."
"Yikes," Joanie replied.
"Very nice..." Alec glanced at Joanie.
Joanie grinned sheepishly.
"C'mon, children," Alec warned his students like they were his own children, "it's time to sign you up. We better not let you miss Gym Class."
"That's right," Nick added.
Then they all followed Nick and Alec into the principal's office to get enrolled into the school.
Jesse took a look at the trophy case. "It seems that baseball's a popular sport at this school."
"It seems that fashion," Tod said.
"It seems you have different breeds of dogs for the children, sir..." Principal Mazur warned Alec.
"I believe in diversity..." Alec made up his mind.
"Ah," Principal Mazur said in understanding.
"Also, Tod is my nephew," Nick replied, which was very true, "we're very close."
"Then I see..." Principal Mazur said before handing them forms, "just sign them and your children will be enrolled in our school and hopefully, if we hurry up, they can make it to the Muffin Man."
"Of course," Alec said.
Soon the two signed everything and once everything else was taken care of, everyone was in their front class which was called Mutton Class and the teacher was a sheep named Mr. Woolensworth.
"Alright, class, before we start, we have some new students," the teacher warned his class before gesturing to them, "please stand up and introduce yourself to the class."
Soon the group stood up.
"All of you..." Mr. Woolensworth replied.
Joanie rolled her eyes and soon stood up. Everyone warned the class a little something about themselves before sitting back down in their desks.
"Alright, very nice..." Mr. Woolensworth nodded as he checked the role call sheet to take attendance, "Foxy Loxy?"
"Present, pretty and punctual," Foxy raised her paw with a smirk.
Tod simply rolled his eyes at that.
"Goosey Loosey," Mr. Woolensworth called.
Goosey honked in response.
"Master Runt of the Litter," Mr. Woolensworth called.
"Present and accounted for," Mr. Woolensworth replied as he tried to stand up with his desk stuck to his fat body and he tried to pick up his pencil, only to fall on the floor.
'Well, that's embarrassing,' Joanie thought to herself.
"Loser," Foxy coughed.
"Henny Penny," Mr. Woolensworth continued.
"Here!"
"Ducky Lucky?"
"Here!"
"Fuzzy Wuzzy?"
"Here!"
"Morkubine Porcupine?"
"Yo, dude," a cool-looking student replied with a deep voice.
'Wow," Copper thought to himself.
"Fish Out of Water," Mr. Woolensworth continued.
A fish with a diving helmet filled with water bubbles and appeared right next to the adult male sheep before he sunk down, disappearing.
"Pretty...Abby Mallard," Mr. Woolensworth continued.
"Ugly Duckling," Foxy coughed, which made most of the class laugh.
"Class, I will not tolerate rude behavior at the expense of–" Mr. Woolensworth frowned.
"Don't worry, Mr. Woolensworth," Abby replied as she was used to it by now.
Due to Abby's rather hideous face, Mr. Woolensworth was alarmed. "You mustn't sneak up on me, Ugly, uh...Abby..." the teacher warned the duckling, which made her roll her eyes, "oh, where was I?"
"Ugly Duckling," Foxy coughed again.
Abby blew a raspberry to Foxy, who just rolled her eyes.
"Chicken Little," Mr. Woolensworth called.
"Here," Chicken Little replied.
"Ah, Chicken Little, for a change, it's nice to see you weren't late," Mr. Woolensworth commented as he checked his name on the roster.
'I wonder what our lesson will be,' Copper thought to himself.
"Class, turn to page 62 and translate each word into 'Mutton'," Shifu said as he brought out his book and began the language lesson, "he."
"Baa..." the students droned, sounding bored out of their minds.
"She."
"Baa..."
"They."
"Baa..."
"Us."
"Baa..."
'This is boring,' Joanie thought to herself.
Tod looked like he was about to fall asleep. No one seemed to blame him as everyone found the class to be quite boring.
Luckily, they were in the gymnasium and that class was over.
"Alright, everybody, listen up," the coach warned the students, "I don't want to hear any squawking, tweeting, growling, neighing or whispering if I say...DODGEBALL!!"
"Nice," Jesse said.
Some students cheered while some looked unfortunate.
"Pump it up," Foxy beamed while Goosey flexed her wings, "pump it, pump it, pump it!"
"Split into two teams," the coach warned the students, "popular versus unpopular."
"Of course," Joanie rolled her eyes.
"Coach," Runt raised his hoof.
"Yes, unpopular," the coach replied.
"Uh...shouldn't we review the security guidelines," Runt asked.
"Sure," the coach grinned before frowning, "HIT THE PIG, YOU CHILDREN!!"
"Seriously," Patch asked.
Soon everyone began to play dodgeball against each other, but Runt was having damage due to how big he was in his class despite being the smallest in his family.
"These animals don't know who they're messing with," Patch said.
"Calm down, Runt," Abby advised the pig, "just...just do what Fish is doing here!"
Fish began to dance like a robot as he dodged the balls. Runt tried to copy Fish, only to get hit by numerous balls.
"Well, how's it going," Abby asked Chicken Little, "entering from your right!"
"Thank you," Chicken Little replied as he dodged with her help, "well, today was grand; I got on the bus with some help and I wasn't late."
"No gum on the sidewalk," Abby asked.
"I was about to do my usual plan, but thanks to my help, I didn't have to," Chicken Little grinned.
Soon a donkey student kicked balls with his back hind legs into a stork's mouth until a billy goat butted him to make the balls fly, but the donkey ducked and laughed at them until the balls nailed him on the head.
"Well, I found out about the movie," Abby warned Chicken Little, "a hard blow."
"How bad could it be," Tod asked while he dodged a ball.
"Hey, perhaps skip to the video," Abby suggested.
"That's the least of my problems," Chicken Little shrugged, "my dad warned me this morning that I should basically disappear."
"Wow," Copper said before dodging a ball.
Chicken Little helped Abby back to her webbed feet as she almost fell on the floor while dodging a ball.
"But you know, that's not going to bring me down," Chicken Little said, feeling inspired, "because I have a plan. Do you want to hear that?"
"Whoops," Abby muttered.
Runt ran in the background while using Joanie as a shield.
"Seriously," Joanie frowned at Runt.
"Warthog at 3:00," Chicken Little warned Abby.
"I see him," Abby replied as she took the ball and struck the opponent on the other side and he squeaked out of pain, "YES!!"
"Then I figure all I need is a chance," Chicken Little continued, "all I need is a chance to do something grand and make everything forget about falling out of the heavens once and for all. And then, my dad will eventually have a reason to be proud of me."
"I see that'll end badly," Joanie said.
There was a whistle heard and Chicken Little and Abby ended up in each other's arms from surprise.
"Timeout," the coach called as he opened the door for Morkubine who had a bunch of balls stuck in his quills, "nurse!"
As soon as they left, the other students brought out their phones and called each other on them.
"Whew," Tod sighed out of relief.
"Well, whaddya think," Chicken Little asked his female best friend.
"Alright," Abby replied, "listen...you said the heavens were falling, your father wasn't supporting you, and you've been hurting inside ever since, right?"
Chicken Little tried to warn her, but she kept tuning him out where she could help him.
"What happens now is that you have to crack the nut," Abby advised, "and not one little chip at a time, but BAM! SMASH!! Bits of emotion flying everywhere! Rage! Frustration! Denial! Deep depression indeed! See what I'm saying?"
"Uh..." Chicken Little stammered, feeling totally lost and confused.
"Alright, forget the crazy part," Abby rolled her eyes, "but the main fact is that you have to stop wasting time and deal with the problem."
"Oh, alright," Chicken Little said, "yes–"
"I have an idea," Joanie spoke up as she walked over, "what if they speak?"
"It's perfect," Abby agreed.
"It's nice for a father and son to come together..." Joanie added.
"Wait, wait, look," Abby responded as she went to her backpack to show the guys some magazines, "it's in this month's Modern Mallard! Incredibly appropriate!"
"I warned you, I have a plan," Chicken Little replied as he took the magazine and gave it to Fish.
"We know," Jesse said.
"CosmoDuck says you should stop squawking and speaking for heaven's sake," Abby continued as she gave more magazines to Chicken Little who gave them to Fish, "and Pretty Duckling says that avoiding closure with your parents can cause early molting. You see? Closure!"
"That's right," Joanie said.
The girls tried to speak with Chicken Little as Tod and Copper chuckled as they watched Fish making an Empire State Building out of pages from the magazines.
"C'mon, you're not a loser," Abby warned her best guy friend, "you're hectic and resort-filled, and funny and, cute..."
Chicken Little seemed to hear that last part.
Soon Abby blabbered and stammered before swiftly changing the subject hesitantly. "Runt! Should Chicken Little have a nice speak with his dad, and clear facts up or keep looking for Band-Aid solutions and never solve the problem?"
"Band-Aid solutions," Runt chuckled.
"Runt," Abby complained as she didn't let that response before face-palming.
"I'm sorry, my bad at reading facial clues," Runt grinned hesitantly.
"Fish, what about you," Jesse asked.
Fish blubbered and bubbled as he was on top of his building and swatting at paper airplanes he made as he imitated King Kong before falling on the gym floor, melodramatically. Tod and Copper clapped to that as it entertained them very much.
"Men..." Abby rolled her eyes at her guy friends.
"Nice fact I'm here," Joanie said.
"It was beauty that murdered the beast," Runt quoted as he held a human paper doll.
Fish nodded in agreement before playing dead.
"Sometimes only girls can be nice at communication and sensitivity..." Joanie warned Abby before they were both suddenly pelted by a ball from Foxy Loxy, even though it was a timeout.
"Hey," Tod frowned.
"That's it," Chicken Little also frowned as he stormed toward the school bully, "we're in a dead time, Foxy. Ready to hurt, and emotionally I don't like what I do so!"
Soon Foxy snapped her fingers with a smirk. Soon Goosey caught Chicken Little by his comb before jiggling him up and down and splatting him onto the window.
"That has to hurt," Patch winced.
Almost all of the other children laughed as Chicken Little slid down the window, his friends tried to help him, only for Goosey to block him and chase them away before honking frustratedly and caught hold of something for support, only for it to be the fire alarm and he set it off, which made the bells ring and the drizzlers drenched everyone in the gym with water.
Soon the coach came back into the gym and frowned once he saw who pulled the fire alarm. "CHICKEN LITTLE!!"
"It's Foxy Loxy's fault," Tod warned him.
"Chicken Little pulled the false alarm," the coach replied.
"I know it sounds like that, but Foxy Loxy had Goosey Loosey throw Chicken Little out the window and he fell on the fire alarm," Copper added to defend his best friend's claim.
"LIES," Foxy replied falsely, "these new children are trying to make me look like a bully!"
"Because you are," Joanie frowned.
"I'm not," Foxy frowned back, "coach, Chicken Little did all this and he's framing me for no reason with his friends!"
"Lord, I know we're new students, but you have to believe ourselves..." Patch begged the coach, "Foxy Loxy and Goosey Loosey did this, no Chicken Little."
"Besides, how could he get to the fire alarm," Joanie asked.
"All of you in the principal's office right now," the coach demanded, "you as well, Foxy Loxy and Goosey Loosey!"
Foxy and Goosey looked to each other, actually hesitantly they were busted as well.
Fast enough, they all sat down outside of the principal's office door and their parents were called off.
"I can't believe they got me in danger, Goose," Foxy said to her best friend, "can you imagine? Me! Just the victim of a poor and innocent crime!"
"Seriously," Jesse asked, "you call what you two did to Chicken Little innocent?"
"Stay out of this or I'll make you," Foxy snapped.
Goosey honked in agreement.
"I was warned to never hurt a lady, but I might have to break that rule," Jesse frowned as he stood up with his fists, ready to fight.
"Don't, Jesse," Tod said, "she's not worth it."
Jesse huffed and crossed his arms.
Soon enough, Nick and Alec came along.
Nick glanced to a female fox, who looked a bit gray and he looked at her like he hadn't seen her in years, as there was something part of his past besides being treated like a predator due to being a fox in a scout group. 'Amy Foxworthy?'
"Oh, Foxy, what am I going to do with you?" Foxy's mother sighed to her daughter being sent to the principal's office.
"But--" Foxy Loxy started.
"But nothing, we'll talk about this later, let's go home." Foxy's mother told her.
"Yes, Mother..." Foxy muttered softly.
Sure enough, Foxy and her mother walked out of the school to go home as Nick couldn't help but stare at the fox woman.
"Uncle Nick," Tod spoke up.
Nick blinked and shook his head before grinning. "Hey, jocko."
Soon Tod hugged his uncle and looked up at him. "Foxy Loxy tried to blame us for the fire alarm and getting Chicken Little in danger."
"Just be glad she didn't eat him," Nick grinned sheepishly as he hugged his nephew back.
"Oh, I am," Tod said.
Soon Chicken Little's father named Buck Cluck came next after Foxy and Goosey's parents took them home, and where this time, he wasn't in danger.
"You and your dad don't speak much, do you," Patch asked Chicken Little.
"He mostly ignores me," Chicken Little frowned, "he says I'm an embarrassment."
"Well, my dad used to ignore me, but he never meant to," Patch soothed, "there were 101 of us after all, but we're yet close wherever I call him."
"Well, that big dog's not your dad," Chicken Little asked, referring to Alec.
"No, he's more of a guardian angel," Patch said.
"Sure wish I had one of these..." Chicken Little sighed before he looked to the trophy case from his school to see his father as a baseball champ, which gave him inspiration to maybe sign up for the team to impress his father and make everybody forget about the entire heavenly falling incident.
Soon Buck left Principal Fetchit's office where he could take Chicken Little back to their home, and where soon, it was Nick and Alec's turn. Joanie leaned against the door with a glass to listen in on the conversation. Alec opened the door once they were done and Joanie fell into the room before standing back up with an innocent smirk.
"Luckily you children aren't in danger," Alec said.
"Yeah, that Foxy Loxy is a big bully," Joanie replied, "also, this town is filled with bullies, they're all making Chicken Little into their scapegoat because of one little incident!"
"But Chicken Little's a chicken, not a goat," Copper warned Joanie.
Joanie moaned and rolled her eyes.
"No, Copper," Patch warned the hound dog, "Joanie means that Chicken Little is getting picked on by everybody for no real reason."
"Oh..." Copper grinned sheepishly, "I'm sorry."
"Now let's get to our place," Nick said.
"Come along then," Alec added.
Soon they left the school together as it was now night time and time for bed.
"Uncle Nick, why'd you look at Foxy Loxy strangely," Tod asked.
"Oh, um, well..." Nick stammered hesitantly, "she...I...we...um...I'll warn you later."
"Wait, did you have more than one sister," Tod asked.
"Not that I know of, but Tod, I actually met a young vixen back in my day..." Nick sighed, "her name was Amy Foxworthy, and...well...how can I explain this to you with you being a little boy and me a grown man?"
"No way, did you two...you know, do it," Jesse asked.
"Well..." Nick grinned innocently, "like I said, life was rough, especially if I ran off of Mum and Lydia...Amy and I dated for a while, she kinda liked my bad boy side, though on the inside, I was a little unhappy with what I was doing...but she warned me that she was pregnant, and I pretended to be a secret agent and I had to leave the country, well...I kinda abandoned her and the baby."
"Nice fact Judy doesn't know that," Alec said.
"Yeah, what Carrots doesn't know won't hurt her," Nick replied.
Tod wasn't sure how to feel, but he kind of looked like he felt bad for Foxy to grow up without a father. Perhaps that was why she was a bully.
"Well, how was school," Alec asked the others as he made a house out of his own magic where they could blend in with the townspeople of Oakey Oaks.
"It was nice until Foxy Loxy and Goosey Loosey ruined it," Joanie said.
"Yes," Jesse added, "they were real pains....I can't stand bullies."
"I know the feeling," Nick said.
"Bullies are the worst....." Patch agreed with them, "but don't worry, I'm sure Chicken Little will have a decent day tomorrow. We better watch the baseball try-outs and the game."
"Baseball's fun to watch," Joanie agreed.
Everyone else gasped at her.
"What," Joanie asked, "I like watching baseball games in person."
"That is just surprising," Gertie said.
Joanie just rolled her eyes at the others' reactions.
"Air Bud would love this," Patch grinned.
Soon everyone went to sleep after a big day beginning their adventure, though Tod was yet curious about his Uncle Nick's relationship with Foxy Loxy's mother, and where his dream was starting to show what might have happened back then. Nick was shown as an older teenager as he was roaming the streets with a black leather jacket and blue jeans with chains as he looked like a rebel. There was a young gray fox girl, who was weeping on a bench as he passed side-by-side.
"Why, what seems to be the problem, little lady," Nick asked.
The fox girl sniffled as she wiped her eyes with her bushy tail. "My boyfriend stood me up......" she warned him since he was the first one to ask her, "he's such a pig!"
"Well, if he stood you up, then he's missing out on a grand girl," Nick said.
"Oh, you're just saying that....." the gray fox replied.
"No, I mean it..." Nick said as she sat with him with his hands in his pockets, "I'm just trying to figure out what to do with myself, I just ran away on my rental old place, and I'm looking out for me, but if you'd like, I'll happily take you with me."
"Really," the gray fox grinned.
"Of course..." Nick nodded.
The gray fox grinned and soon Nick grinned back to her.
"What's your name anyhow," Nick asked.
"Amy," the gray fox replied, "Amy Foxworthy."
"Nice to meet you, Amy," Nick nodded, "I'm Nick Wilde."
'Alright, this is weird,' Tod thought to himself.
Soon the two became friends, but soon would become something more.
Tod looked around until some time seemed to pass and Amy hugged Nick and kissed him.
"What's the big fuss," Nick asked her.
"Oh, Nicky, this is fantastic," Amy beamed, "now we can get married because I'm pregnant! You're gonna be a father!"
Nick's eyes widened as he didn't seem to like the sound of that and had to think of a fashion out of this and fast.
'I wonder how Uncle Nick got out of this,' Tod thought to himself.
"Amy, I know we promised not to keep secrets between us, but I must go...." Nick warned the gray fox.
"What...," Amy asked, "what do you mean?"
"I'm a secret agent," Nick lied slyly, "I didn't want to warn you because they promised to murder me if they found me here, but I have to leave the country or else we'll both be in serious danger. It's probably best that you pretend that you never met me."
"Wow," Tod rolled his eyes.
"Will I ever see you again," Amy asked.
"Probably not...." Nick replied before walking away and he lowered his sunglasses as he stopped. "Take care of the kit for me..." he said before winking.
Amy felt very emotional as she was going to be all alone and raising a baby all by herself as she believed Nick's lie.
"Uncle Nick, why," Tod sighed.
Soon Tod awakened and looked to his uncle with a sigh. He wasn't sure what was worse, the conning and scamming in Zootopia or the lying just to avoid being a father to a girl who needed his help.
Soon the next morning came. Joanie didn't want to wake up and everyone tried to get her out of bed.
"Joanie," Alec yelled.
Joanie yelped and fell out of bed.
"You're welcome," Alec grinned to the others.
"Morning," Tod greeted Joanie.
"Hey, kiddo..." Joanie replied before standing up and stretching out of slight pain.
"Are you alright, Tod," Copper asked his best friend.
"Oh, just had a crazy dream......" Tod replied softly.
"What was this about," Nick asked.
"Abandonment...." Tod muttered.
"Is this about what we spoke about," Nick asked hesitantly.
Tod looked up and nodded. "I can't believe you just walked out on someone just because you didn't want to be a father."
"I know, jocko," Nick sighed, "I was a very different fox before I met you guys and Carrots."
"Let's get going then," Jesse said.
Soon they went away as Chicken Little had signed his name for the sign-up sheet for baseball try-outs. Soon the coach handed the team their baseball mitts, but as he saw Chicken Little, he gave him a puny baby mitten due to his small size and to humiliate him. Soon the team was in their uniforms and there was a game going on and Fish, Abby and Runt came to the game to support their friend, and where Foxy Loxy seemed to be the one that always had home runs.
"Jesse, you know how I feel like Alec treats me like I'm nothing," Joanie asked.
"Yes," Jesse replied.
"I think he's nice compared to the townspeople of this world," Joanie commented, seeing how poorly Chicken Little was treated by almost anybody else.
"I agree," Jesse said.
"Lean to the left! Lean to the right! C'mon, Acorns, fight, fight, fight," the mascot cheered as there was a big game today with Foxy bringing them there due to her extreme success, "goooo, Acorns!"
Fish roared as his face was painted the school colors and he was emotional about today's game.
"I think Fish might have beat your fan-o-meter, Joanie," Jesse said.
"Huh," Joanie rolled her eyes.
The game went on, but Chicken Little hadn't been able to play in the game at all so far and the team didn't seem to have a problem with that since they thought they were better off without him.
"There's emotion in the air, ladies and gentlemen," a dog announced, "this has been two decades since Oakey Oaks has beaten their opponents: the Spud Valley Taters! And now, only down by a single run, we yet have a chance. This emotion isn't about the fun of baseball, or the prize. It's about the gloating and rubbing their noses in it, the 'Nah-nah-na-na-na! We beat you!' taunting if you will that comes with the winning."
'Wow,' Patch thought to himself.
Fish took out a soda can and even crushed it against his helmet.
"That's right," the dog continued, "Oakey Oaks and Mayor Turkey Lurkey will eventually have bragging rights again for one complete year!"
The mayor did so as his cue cards warned him as he joined the people in watching the baseball game.
"This battle has taken a heavy toll on our hometown heroes," the dog announcer continued. "After nine grueling innings and several players out with injuries, the Acorns are scraping the bottom of the roster. Hopefully, there's just enough muscle on the bench to pull out a win. Up next..." he shuddered in disgust once he realized who was next up to bat, "Chicken Little."
The audience seemed to moan as they felt like they had no chance of winning now and even the mayor wept hopelessly.
"Oh, wow," Joanie said, unimpressed.
"Clearly a long shot, folks," the dog sulked, "Little hasn't been up to bat once since joining the team."
"He's gonna lose the game for us," a cougar who sat next to Buck panicked.
"But wait," the dog announcer continued, "if he can just get a walk and advance to first, that powerhouse, Foxy Loxy can step up and save us all. She's had a terrific game so far. A shoo-in for the MVP trophy."
"Go, Chicken Little," Tod and Copper cheered.
"Alright, boy, listen up," the coach told Chicken Little, "you have an itty-bitty, teeny-tiny strike zone. There's no fashion he can throw you out! Take the walk. Don't swing."
"Yes, but Coach, I have a nice feeling------" Chicken Little tried.
"Look at me, look at me," the coach replied, "don't swing."
"And you think I'm strict," Alec said to Joanie.
"You seem pleasant compared to him..." Joanie replied, "I'll never complain about Gym Class ever again."
"Nice girl," Alec said.
"Just please no rope climbing or running laps," Joanie begged.
"We'll see," Alec replied as they continued to watch the game.
"EASY OUT," A stork from the other team called out as Chicken Little came up to bat.
Then the other team members decided to just chill out since they thought they would win this game. On left field, the catcher was chasing his tail since he was a dog, in center field, the catcher there was eating the grass since he was a cow, and the catcher on the right field dug underground as he was a groundhog.
"Play ball," the donkey umpire called out.
"Oh, boy," Jesse sighed.
"Why him," the cougar complained as Buck face-palmed, "why now?!"
"I won't embarrass you, Dad," Chicken Little promised as he held the bat, "not this time."
"Here's the wind-up, the pitch," the dog announcer announced as the stork threw the ball, "it's a high cutter."
Chicken Little missed the ball, almost falling due to how big the bat was compared to him which made the opposing team laugh at him as that counted as a strike much to the dismay of the coach.
"Uh, perhaps he'll get the next one," Patch grinned hesitantly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not going to sugarcoat it," the dog announcer commented, "I've seen road hogs with faster reflexes."
Soon the pitcher caught the ball again and tossed the ball and Chicken Little missed, causing another strike.
"I said 'don't swing'," the coach frowned.
"DON'T SWING," The audience and the other players begged.
"No," Morkubine even agreed.
"Perhaps we should just leave," Joanie said.
"Wait for it..." Alec warned her.
"Today is a new day......" Chicken Little whispered to himself.
Time seemed to slow down as the next ball came down. Everyone didn't look at first, until...
"Take away my squeaky toy, it's a hit," the dog announcer proclaimed.
"A hit," Joanie asked out of surprise.
The others repeated this as they were just as surprised as she was.
"But wait! The batter is yet at home plate," the dog announcer narrated before flipping out as the ball came toward the lazy catchers, "he's standing in a daze. Run, friend, run!"
"Go, son," Buck warned his son, "run! RUN!!"
Chicken Little kicked his helmet back on before running the wrong road at first.
"Wrong road," Jesse called out.
"Turn around," Joanie added.
Chicken Little realized he went the wrong road and turned around.
"I've never said these words before, but he's actually rounding home plate," the dog announcer warned the crowd as Chicken Little ran to the bases, passing the catchers, "Goosey Loosey steps on home. We have a tie game! They're scrambling in the alley."
"Go, Chicken Little, go," Nick cheered.
Joanie was so hesitant that she bit her nails and soon bit onto Alec's nails in suspense. Soon the cow caught the groundhog, thinking he was the ball and tossed him to the other catcher and his glasses landed on his face. The fielders saw the ball and tackled the cow, only for the ball to get stuck on his horn.
"Ha," Alec laughed.
Soon the other players caught their cow teammate and rammed him to get Chicken Little out of the game.
"Hey, go back," Foxy Loxy warned Chicken Little before she tripped on her face, "you're never gonna make it! Ow!"
"You can make it," Alec cheered. Then noticed his hands were drooled on and bitten before frowning to Cherry. "I'll deal with you later......"
Soon there was a big dirt pile with Chicken Little's head poking out and he coughed from the impact. The cow smirked and poked Chicken Little with the ball.
"You're out," the donkey empire announced.
"Oh, c'mon; you can't warn if he's out by that dirt pile," Joanie warned him.
"She has a point...." Alec had to agree.
"Huh..." Jesse hummed in thought before he came to the home base and took out a brush to dust it away. Fair enough, once he got down to it, he saw the verdict. "His foot's on home plate before the ball touched him, that means he's safe!"
"He's right," the donkey empire told everyone.
This made the Oakey Oaks people cheer in sheer victory. Foxy twitched as she couldn't believe that she hadn't won the game, but Chicken Little had.
"It's all over, folks," the dog announcer beamed, "the Acorns have done the impossible! For the first time in 20 years, we won the pennant! Mothers, kiss your babies! You've witnessed a miracle! Remember where you were at this moment. The smells! The sounds! There's a new winner in town and his name is Chicken Little!"
"Wahoo," the group cheered.
The team even dunked Chicken Little with their drink from the cooler to show him that they were happy to have him on their team.
"That was just a lucky hit," Foxy pouted as no one paid attention to her anymore.
Later on, that night...
"You guys should come over to celebrate Chicken Little's victory," Abbey invited Joanie, Jesse, Copper, Patch and Tod.
"You have it," Tod said.
"We're gonna have snacks, fun and karaoke," Abby beamed.
"Well, I can sing pretty nice......" Copper grinned bashfully as he remembered that one time with the Singing Strays, even though Dixie didn't like him very much.
"That's true," Patch and Tod said.
Copper grinned bashfully to them as they agreed.
"See you tonight then," Abby grinned as she handed them invitations.
Everyone grinned as tonight was going to be a best night for all of them, and where it seemed like nothing could ruin it. Soon everyone came at Abby's house to celebrate. Alec and Nick decided to sit this out since it was more for the children than it was for them. Chicken Little hadn't come yet as everyone had fun.
"I do wonder what's keeping him," Jesse asked.
"I'm sure he's fine...." Joanie shrugged.
"Alright, who's next," Abbey asked.
"Me, me, me, please, Abbey, please," Runt begged.
"Aw, alright, Runt," Abbey grinned.
Soon a song by the Spice Girls came on and Abby and Runt began to sing along while Fish played with a glow stick. The others began to dance. Abbey and Runt sang together.
Soon enough, the phone rang and Abby turned off the music. "Mallard residence?"
Runt continued to sing as he was lost in his own little world until everyone warned him to stop.
"Hey, where are you," Abby grinned as she answered the phone as it was Chicken Little. "We already started! We--" she stopped with a gasp once she was warned what was going on at Chicken Little's house, "guys, that was Chicken Little, there's an emergency at his house!"
"What's the emergency," Jesse asked.
"We'll find out if we get there," Abby replied.
Soon they left the Mallard house and went straight for Chicken Little's house. Soon he showed them what the emergency was.
"Alright, guys, watch this..." Chicken Little said as he showed them a hexagon piece of something before putting his face against it and pulled it back.
Soon the piece glowed slightly and his face appeared on the shape.
"Bizarre..." Abby muttered in shock.
"No way..." Joanie said.
The piece fell to the floor, blending in with it and Fish decided to have a little fun with it.
"Alright, lemme guess," Abby looked to Chicken Little, "you haven't warned your dad yet."
"Please warn us that you warned him," Joanie begged.
"Well..." Chicken Little stammered.
"I knew it," Abbey replied, "why haven't you warned him? There hasn't been 'you, your dad, speak-speak-speaking'."
"If he warned his dad about this; what do you think his reaction would be," Patch asked Abby.
"He has a point," Runt agreed with the Dalmatian.
"You have to speak with your dad," Abby warned Chicken Little.
"She's right," Runt agreed with the ugly duckling.
"Abby, please," Chicken Little frowned hesitantly, "this is exactly what fell on me the first time. There's no fashion I'm bringing this up again!"
"No, he's not," Runt agreed with the young rooster.
"You're not helping," Joanie said.
"I'm sorry," Runt pouted, "I'm a gutless flip flapper."
Fish started to mess with the piece. Patch, Copper and Tod watched Fish as Abby and Chicken Little had their speak.
"Hey, remember if that icy blue stuff fell from the heavens," Abby warned Chicken Little about a possible explanation for the piece that fell from the heavens, "everybody thought it was from space and stuff, and it just turned out to be frozen pee from a jet airplane?"
"Ew," Joanie flinched.
"Yes, that's right. It's frozen pee," Runt agreed, "yes. It's frozen pee. Pee, pee, pee, pee pee."
"Will you stop saying that," Joanie begged.
"What, pee," Runt replied.
"Yes," Joanie said.
"How 'bout tinkle," Abby suggested.
"Piddle," Runt suggested.
Fish bubbled a suggestion.
"Someone change the subject," Joanie moaned.
Soon Copper noticed something on the piece.
"Alright, subject change," Chicken Little warned his friends.
"Hey, there's some kind of button," Copper warned Fish.
Fish nodded and soon pushed the button, which made the piece turn all white.
"What's going on," Tod asked.
Fish and Copper looked a little emotional, which made the others look slightly worried. Soon the piece blasted, which made a small explosion in the room, but luckily, nothing exploded. Soon the piece began to hover right in front of the young hound dog and fish.
"Ooh," Copper grinned.
Fish even bubbled out of emotion. Soon Copper and Fish sat on the piece and were taken for a ride outside of Chicken Little's window and appeared to be somehow swallowed by the night heavens and Fish's glow stick was brought back to the others.
"Woah," Joanie said.
"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon," Chicken Little panicked as he ran down the stairs with his friends.
"Wait, wait, woah, son," Buck Cluck stopped his son with a chuckle as he came out of the kitchen, running into them, "where's the fire here?"
"Chicken Little needs to warn you something," Joanie warned him.
"That's right, warn him," Abby added in agreement, "he can handle it."
"...Who're we speaking about," Chicken Little asked as he couldn't bring himself to warn the truth before rushing out the door, catching Abby's hand on the way, "must go, Dad, farewell!"
"You have to be ready to listen to your children, even if they have nothing to say," Buck chuckled to himself.
"WHAT," Joanie snapped, "bad parenting! Bad parenting! BAD! PARENT!! ING!!!"
"Let's just go and see where that fact is taking Fish and Copper," Jesse said.
Joanie grumbled as Jesse pushed her off since she didn't like the kind of father that Buck Cluck was being to Chicken Little.
"Sit tight, guys," Abby called out as they ran outside.
"Guys, we will try to save you," Runt added.
"We will save you," Tod added.
SMASH!! Runt smashed through the fence after everyone climbed through and over it. Everyone kept trying to follow the glow stick that was in the heavens with Fish and Copper.
Soon they arrived at the baseball stadium.
"Fish and Copper," Abby called out as she pointed into the heavens.
Soon everyone else looked up to see Fish's glow stick until it spun around in a circle a few times and everything on the ground began to shake.
"That's not normal," Patch said.
"What even is normal anymore," Joanie asked.
Soon the stadium lights flickered and exploded like fireworks. Everything spun around and everyone felt slightly off balance.
"I don't like this," Tod pouted, "I want my mama!"
"Faster, we have to hide," Jesse told them.
A UFO appeared to be coming out of the heavens and landed in the baseball stadium. Abby seemed stuck where she was standing as everyone else avoided the alien spacecraft.
"Why is she just standing there," Joanie yelped.
"Abby," Chicken Little cried out in despair as he tried to get her out of there, "Abby, wake up!"
Sure enough, they all rushed to hide in the dug-out as the ship was coming for a landing. Once it landed, it opened its hatch to let out two aliens. Runt looked out with a gasp of shock before putting Joanie in front of him while shivering out of fear.
"Get down," Joanie warned the others since they didn't know if these aliens were dangerous or not.
Once the aliens were gone, it was safe.
"Oh, poor Fish and Copper," Runt frowned. "They're probably stuffed and mounted like some intergalactic trophies, or maybe they're both half-living hosts implanted with face-hugging embryo babies. One fact's for sure," he hugged Joanie while weeping, "they're gone, man! Gone!"
Joanie winced as her spine broke slightly from the hug.
"Not yet," Abby called out as she pointed to the UFO, which had Fish and Copper at the top.
"Hi, guys," Copper grinned.
Fish waved and bubbled to his friends.
"Oh, snap," Chicken Little muttered.
"Well, it's time to go," Joanie told the others.
"Let's get inside," Jesse said.
"What," Joanie asked.
"Yes, Joanie, all of us," Jesse replied.
Joanie moaned and rolled her eyes and they went inside of the UFO to get Fish and Copper back.
Once inside, it looked creepy.
"Fish," Abby whispered louder.
"Copper," Tod added in.
There was no response from either of them, however. Everyone looked around as they explored the alien spacecraft, slightly repulsed by the eyeballs and organs that were placed in jars. Patch looked up to an orange fact before it grew an eyeball, which stared down at him.
"What," Patch asked.
Patch moved all around and blinked and the orange fact seemed to follow him.
"Hey, what are you doing here," Abby called out to him, "c'mon!"
Patch looked to her and soon went with her and the others as the orange fact seemed to grow and follow him.
"Where could they be," Jesse asked.
Everyone silently called out for Fish and Copper as they didn't have much luck.
ZAP!!
"WHERE ARE YOU, FISH AND COPPER," Runt yelled out after being alarmed by the zap.
"SILENCE," Joanie whispered.
"I can't handle the pressure," Runt shivered, "go ahead without me!"
"Runt..." Abby sighed.
"I'll jeopardize the mission! Endanger us all," Runt panicked before whining like a cowardly baby, "throw me overboard while you yet have a chance! Just leave me some ammo, little water, some chips if you have them."
"Does anyone know how to calm down, Porkchop," Joanie asked.
"A paper bag," Patch suggested.
"That's a good idea, Runt, get your bag," Abby agreed.
Soon Runt took out a paper bag and hyperventilated into it, and where he even began to choke on it. Joanie clamped her hand over her mouth.
"Slowly...slowly..." Abby and Chicken Little reminded Runt.
"Now, just do the fact that you do to relax," Abby soothed as Runt breathed softly and slowly, and which was to sing.
Joanie looked quite annoyed from the song as they continued to explore.
"AAUGH," Runt yelled out as soon as he looked over to see certain skeletons of a fish and a hound dog puppy. Then he rapidly breathed in two paper bags while trembling.
Soon the skeletons came alive, only to reveal it was a skeletal mirror with Fish and Copper behind it.
"Hey, guys," Copper grinned.
"Whew," Patch sighed out of relief.
"Oh, Copper, thank heavens you're okay," Tod grinned in relief to his best friend.
Soon everyone joined Fish and Copper into a reunion hug with numerous questions.
"Questions later, we are leaving, like, now," Joanie told the others.
"Yes, but first, where's Runt," Jesse asked.
Soon everyone came to take the pig out with them, only to see him staring at something in horror. Then they took a look with him and felt hesitant and frightened themselves. They could see a map of all the planets from the sun, Pluto through Mars were crossed out and Earth was circled, which could only mean one fact...
"We're next," Chicken Little whined.
This caused Runt to squeak out of fright before fainting. Joanie almost stumbled and fell due to how big Runt was despite being the smallest in his family.
Soon everyone ran away to escape the alien aircraft before it would be too late.
"OK, that's it," Abby warned Chicken Little, "we're running back to your house and you're gonna tell your dad!"
"What the heck is that clown gonna do," Joanie scoffed.
"Who knows," Patch shrugged.
Soon they ran into the aliens, which made them panic and they kept escaping, and where the aliens seemed frustrated with them.
"Hey...how're you all doing tonight," Joanie grinned hesitantly, "you know, the craziest fact happened to me...I discovered an elephant in my pajamas...how the elephant got in my pajamas, I'll never know."
Soon the aliens turned red and crowded her.
"HEEELLLPPP," Joanie yelped.
"Stay away from my best friend/sister," Jesse frowned at the aliens.
The aliens spoke in their own language as they turned red.
"C'mon," Jesse called out before catching Joanie's hand and running with her.
"Woah," Joanie yelped.
Soon they rushed out, but they were stopped since Runt filled the open hole due to his plump size.
"Aw, c'mon, are you serious," Joanie complained.
"I'm sorry," Runt frowned, "tension makes me bloat."
The aliens kept trying to get in through the door as Chicken Little held the red button while Abby tried to push Runt down through the hatch where they could get out.
"This'll take forever," Joanie moaned.
Jesse came toward Runt and tackled him like a football player, which got him through.
"That works," Joanie commented.
Soon they went through next and soon continued running. They ran away as fast as they could to avoid the aliens, even tripping down a hill on the road before they ended up in a cornfield.
"We should be safe here," Patch whispered.
The aliens summoned their lights before taking out their blades and began to chop through the cornfields and there was a whirring buzzing noise as everyone was hesitant.
"What's that noise," Joanie asked.
Runt was taking out cobs of corn and eating them before stopping to see all eyes on him. "I'm sorry...hesitant eater."
"Thank heavens," Patch sighed.
Soon they rushed the school and tried to get in, but of course, it was now closed since it was after 3:00.
"They're yet coming," Chicken Little yelped once he saw the aliens right behind them.
"How do we warn everyone in town," Jesse wondered.
Chicken Little looked up to the school bell. "I need a soda."
Soon Runt took out a dollar and put it into the vending machine to get a bottle of soda for his friend, only to have naughty luck with the dollar bill as it kept sliding out.
"Ugh...I hate these facts...." Joanie shook her head.
Soon Runt got the dollar in only for it to come out. Jesse walked up to the vending machine and did his best to give it a gentle kick to bring out a soda bottle for Chicken Little, and where, it worked.
"Orange soda," Jesse offered.
"Thanks, Jesse," Chicken Little replied as he accepted the bottle and used it as a jet pack to get on top of the school, it didn't work to the fullest, but he yet made it to the top. However, he slipped off the bell protector and let a brick slide down and hit the bottle, which gave him the boost up where he could ring the bell to warn everyone in his town.
The aliens were closer behind them now, but they yet had time. Chicken Little was just about to ring the bell, but soon he remembered what just happened the last time he did it.
"Please ring the bell," Tod begged.
One alien caught Abby, which concerned Chicken Little and then he eventually rung the bell, and where it seemed to harm the aliens. Then they dropped Abby and soon ran away as the townspeople of Oakey Oaks were on their road.
"The vibrations from the bell hurts them," Patch said.
"It's such a pain," Joanie added due to her sensitivity.
The aliens began to escape before anyone would see them due to the ringing of the bell irritating them both.
"We have to stop them," Tod said.
"Chicken Little, you better have a nice explanation for all of this," the coach frowned.
"There's, there's...it's a...you have to...d'oh! Doo-wah," Chicken Little stammered.
"What'd he say," a cougar asked.
Mayor Turkey Lurkey looked to his cue cards from his bodyguard. "'There's...it's a...you have to...d'oh! Doo-wah!'."
"Yes...he was just stammering," Joanie said.
"C'mon! Follow me, follow me," Chicken Little rushed down the school steps, "aliens here! Hurry up!"
The people began to follow after him.
"It's....it's happening again......" Buck sighed to himself.
"No, it's different." Patch warned him, "this time, it's aliens!"
"C'mon, c'mon, you're about to see it," Chicken Little warned them frantically, "faster, faster, hurry up, if you don't hurry, you're gonna miss it!"
Fast enough, the townspeople stopped behind the mayor.
"Oh, look," Mayor Turkey Lurkey grinned, "a penny!"
Joanie growled and face-palmed about how frustrating that was.
"Oh, right," Mayor Turkey Lurkey remembered before running with the others, but took the coin for himself as they were going to see what the big fuss was.
"Please hurry up," Patch begged.
"Come on, faster, it's taking off," Copper added.
Unfortunately, as soon as they all came and even the camera crew from on TV, there was nothing there and the stadium was totally empty.
"What are we looking for," the bunny with the boom mic asked.
"I dunno," the dog with the camera shrugged as he looked around while recording and zooming in.
"It's up there," Copper said before throwing a baseball into the air.
"I know this looks naughty, but there's an invisible spaceship right there with aliens who are here to invade Earth," Chicken Little added as he tried to join Copper, though he wasn't really a nice thrower.
"Ooh, naughty throw," the camera dog said.
Then Chicken Little tried again.
"Ooh, naughty throw," the crowd said, all together.
"Alright, we all know I don't have a nice arm, but there's these cloaking panels on the bottom," Chicken Little tried to explain to the citizens of Oakey Oaks, "they make it disappear. One fell out of the heavens and hit me right on the head."
"Oh, it's the acorn fact all over again," a cheetah complained.
"But this time, he's not crazy," Jesse warned them.
"Eh, there's no story here," the bunny commented.
"Well, at least we can sell the tape to Chickens Gone Wild," the dog camera man replied.
"We all saw them," Joanie warned the people.
"It's true! They had eyes...they're glowing and then tentacles," Runt cried out in grief before getting picked up by a giant pig woman.
"Runt, that's enough," the pig woman scolded, "don't make Mummy take away your Streisand collection!"
"Mom, you leave Barbra out of this," Runt complained.
"Everyone, please, Chicken Little is warning the truth," Tod warned them.
"Why can't you keep that child of yours under control," Principal Fetchit scolded Buck, "look at what he's done to these poor, innocent youths new in town!"
The other townspeople seemed furious at Buck since he was Chicken Little's father and all.
"Dad! Dad," Chicken Little cried out in despair, "I'm not making this up! You have to believe me this time."
Buck looked over to the others and bowed his head in disgrace. "No, son. I don't," he warned his son before turning back to the others, "I can't warn you how embarrassed I am, folks. I'm really sorry about this, everyone. Looks like this is just a big, crazy misunderstanding."
"I'm gonna pluck his feathers and dunk him in frying oil in Kentucky," Joanie snapped as she hated the fashion Buck was behaving.
"I won't stop you," Jesse said.
"FINE," Joanie replied before zipping away.
"BUT," Alec said as he pulled her back, "not right now..."
Joanie firmly pouted at him.
"Well, other than the penny, this entire evening was a wash," Mayor Turkey Lurkey complained.
"Mr. Cluck, don't take it so hard," Foxy warned the adult male chicken, "no one blames you."
"Let's try and get some sleep," Copper said.
As soon as they got home, Joanie punched the stuffing out of her pillow. "I hate that chicken man!"
"I know the feeling," Nick said.
"You should totally eat him," Joanie smirked.
"What," Nick asked her.
"C'mon, Nick, you're a predator," Joanie smirked, "eat him like until you frightened Judy after the press conference before we ratted out Bellwether!"
"I'm sorry, no go," Nick said.
"You all are no fun," Joanie snapped before going away, "I'll do it myself."
"No, you won't," Alec said.
"Yes, I will," Joanie replied as she stormed away out the door with an ax before soon she was stopped by Alec. "Let me go," Joanie demanded.
"Come with me," Alec replied, soon carrying her in his arm and walking off the other road away from the door.
"Put me down," Joanie strained.
"Not until you calm down," Alec said.
Joanie groaned and strained. "Jesse, make him let me go!"
"No," Jesse said.
Joanie strained until soon she tired herself out. Then Alec sat her in bed and made her lie down and tucked her in tightly where she couldn't get out and walked away.
"Alec," Joanie coughed, "it's tight around my throat!"
"Whoops," Alec said.
Joanie choked and gagged before her face turned blue and her eyes seemed to roll in her skull. Soon Alec came to the covers and untucked around her neck. Joanie breathed and regain her pigment now that she could breathe.
"Please warn me it gets better," Jesse begged, "what do these aliens want any matter?"
"They probably just lost their child or something..." Alec shrugged, "to be honest, I didn't see my Oracle about the outcome of this adventure...something about acorns......"
"Acorns." Jesse asked out of confusion.
"I'm sorry, I don't really remember, I'm sure there's just a big misunderstanding with the aliens..." Alec replied.
"I hope you're right..." Jesse nodded.
"I'll try..." Alec said before taking out a deck of cards and shuffled them in his hands before he would toss them into a hat to pass the time for himself.
Soon the next day came. Last night's incident was on the news and Buck was being warned on the phone and through email about how everybody hated him due to Chicken Little's mistake instead of consoling his son like a best father would, and where the young rooster was outside.
"I found him, folks," Copper said after using his sense of smell.
Chicken Little looked over at them as he looked really bummed out until he saw Modern Mallard magazine thrown out and he saw his best friends had come as well.
"If there was ever a time to speak to your father, it's now," Patch said.
"Exactly my thoughts," Abby agreed.
"It's no use for that," Chicken Little sighed.
"No, it's not," Jesse said.
"It's no use..." Runt sniffed and blubbered, which annoyed some of the others, "perhaps it's too late now......but he really tried to make it..."
"Runt..." Abby sighed before looking to Chicken Little, "you just think about it......"
"Just think about it," Runt sniffled as his face turned beet red, "something inside has died and they just can't hide it and they just can't fake it. Oh, dear, oh, dear."
'So dramatic,' Joanie thought to herself.
"Guys, I just want to be alone right now..." Chicken Little sighed.
Soon everyone looked over with him to see an orange fact with a single eye in the ground.
"ABBY! RUNT!! FISH," Chicken Little yelped, "GUYS!!!"
Soon Chicken Little's best friends came back and saw the orange fact, which made them shriek and it yelled back at them.
"What is that fact," Runt yelped.
Fish bubbled to settle them all down before he began to communicate with the alien, and soon the alien started warning him everything. Once Fish heard enough, he warned everything to his best friends.
"His name is Kirby," Chicken Little asked.
"They left him behind," Abby asked.
"Darth Vader is Luke's father," Runt asked.
"I'm so close to making you my breakfast tomorrow," Joanie was very annoyed by the pig.
Kirby seemed afraid.
"Aw, now, c'mon, c'mon, ne pas pleure..." Chicken Little tried to console the alien, "we're here for you, we'll do everything we can to get you home, alright?"
Kirby grumbled before sniffling while trying to stop weeping from all three of his eyes.
"Here, blow," Patch said as he held a tissue out to Kirby.
Kirby sniffled before blowing his nose, which made him honk his little body up in the air briefly.
"Better," Patch grinned as he got rid of the tissue.
"Uh-huh..." Kirby pouted with a small nod.
"Well, now we just have to figure out how to get him to his parents," Jesse said.
Soon Kirby sneezed again, which frizzed the top of his hair up. Joanie turned away slightly and light laughter was heard as that was quite funny.
"Let me fix that...." Chicken Little said as he tried to straighten up Kirby's fur.
"Thank you," Kirby grinned in alien language.
Soon there was a sound heard, which frightened everybody.
"Uh, guys," Joanie asked as she looked up, "I think the heavens are breaking like that one episode of Ed, Edd and Eddy."
"Oh, this is bad," Jesse said.
Soon Buck came out to see the confusion was only to panic at the sight. Many of the other townspeople noticed this and came to a full shock.
"Children? Children," Alec's voice called out.
"Toddy," Nick called out.
"Uncle Nick," Tod called back before running to his uncle and hugged him tightly with tears in his eyes, "Uncle Nick, the heavens are breaking!"
"These aliens are coming," Alec warned them.
"Aliens," Tod panicked, "like Kirby?!"
"Uh, the only Kirby I know of is a pink ball fact that sucks facts up, but HURRY UP," Alec replied before panicking again, thinking of a totally different Kirby.
"What do we have to do," Patch asked.
Soon the heavens broke up and many spaceships came down to invade Oakey Oaks.
"Woah," Morkubine commented as he saw the alien spacecrafts.
"Should we concern," Copper asked.
"Probably," Alec grinned hesitantly as he rubbed his legs together.
"Are you shaking," Jesse asked.
"No, I just need to pee urgently..." Alec replied as that had to be a lie.
Soon Kirby spoke in his language as he saw the spacecrafts in the heavens.
"These are your parents," Chicken Little asked him.
Kirby nodded. Fish bubbled an audition.
"And they brought the Galactic Armada," Joanie's eyes widened as she turned white as a sheet.
"What have I done," Jesse asked.
Soon Kirby rushed among the crowd to reunite with his parents.
"How about making sure nobody steps on that little orange marshmallow," Alec suggested.
"Son, there you are," Buck came to Chicken Little right then and there, "faster, get in the car, we have to go!"
"No, you don't understand, sir, we need your son to help us make sure the alien doesn't get hurt," Joanie said.
"I know my place, he was right, alien invasion, I see that now," Buck replied as he was in a rush to get away from home, "look up, there it is!"
"No, Dad, it's actually a rescue mission," Chicken Little grinned hesitantly.
"Rescue mission," Buck replied.
"Yes," Joanie and Jesse nodded.
"We have to help them, Dad, because if we don't, who will," Chicken Little panicked.
"What," Buck looked at them all like they were crazy.
"I knew you wouldn't believe us, then we won't let you stand in the road," Joanie frowned firmly as she stood up for herself and her friends, "c'mon, guys, we don't need him."
"Agreed," Tod nodded.
Nick gave Buck a death stare for being a poor parent to his son before joining his nephew and the others to go help and save Kirby.
"I hope the aliens aren't doing anything crazy," Jesse said.
"They're aliens...." Alec replied.
"You know what I mean," Jesse warned him.
"That's the end of the world as we know this," Joanie quoted.
"No, it's not," Jesse said.
"Aliens are invading the city," Joanie warned him.
"We can fix this," Jesse replied before going away, "I know we can."
"I've known Jesse since we were seven years old..." Joanie sighed to the others as they watched him go first, "I don't know what just happened to them in these seven years, but it must've been something pretty big."
"You warn me," Copper said.
Soon they all went with Jesse to go help and save Kirby. Soon Buck panicked for his son and soon ran after him. As they ran after him, so did Runt, Abby and Fish. The aliens began to zap different facts and animals. Foxy smirked as she threw a rock at one alien. The alien frowned at her and then appeared to vaporize her. Goosey grinned hesitantly at that and soon ran for dear life since her best friend was doomed.
"She let that come," Tod said.
Soon they made it into the movie theater to hide for shelter.
"You alright, buddy," Joanie asked Kirby.
Kirby nuzzled up against her.
"Aw, he likes you~" Jesse smirked.
"That's so cute," Patch grinned.
"Oh, boy..." Joanie rolled her eyes.
"CHICKEN LITTLE," Buck's voice yelled out, which alarmed poor Kirby and he hid behind a curtain.
"Buck, you just frightened Kirby," Nick scolded the rooster.
"Boy, where's your head," Buck called out to his son as he climbed up on the stage, "c'mon! You, with the running and the jumping..."
"What are you doing here? We have to get out of here," Abby panicked, "it's like...it's like War of the Worlds out there!"
"We know," Jesse said.
"You're a bad father," Joanie frowned at Buck.
"I'm sorry," Buck frowned back at her, "take that back!"
"Chicken Little, now is a best time to speak," Jesse said.
"You're never there for me," Chicken Little said to his father.
"What," Buck replied.
"Alright, that's not what I had in mind, but..." Abby shrugged.
"You're never there for me," Chicken Little continued, "I mean, you were there for me if I had won the big game, but not until the heavens fell, and certainly not now!"
"Yes, go ahead," Tod coached.
"Go ahead! Keep going," Abby added.
"You've been embarrassed since the acorn fact," Chicken Little continued as this was getting nice, "we need to speak because Modern Mallard says avoiding closing can lead to molting, and I'm already small, and on top of this; I don't think I could handle being bald!"
Buck was speechless at first. "I-I-I didn't...realize, son. I never meant––––the acorn, the heavens, I mean, the entire––––you're right. You're right. Your mum, she was...you know, she was always nice with stuff like that. I...I'm going to need a lot of work, but you have to know that I love you no matter what. And I'm sorry I.....and I'm sorry if I ever made you feel like that was something, you had to earn."
'Eventually,' Alec thought to himself.
Soon Chicken Little and Buck shared a tender hug together. The building shook slightly as the aliens came closer, but everyone decided to wait out the hug for a few more moments.
"And we're nice," Abby warned them, "let's go! Let's go!"
"Alright, Dad," Chicken Little said before revealing the young alien, "now we just have to give hopeless little Kirby back."
Soon Kirby came in, running at Buck.
"Give this back whatever that is," Buck laughed as Kirby tickled him before he panicked, "that's crazy! Crazy!"
Chicken Little frowned until the others gave him a death frown.
"Insanely wonderful," Buck swiftly added, "just warn me what you must do."
"We have a planet to save," Copper grinned.
"You really mean it," Chicken Little grinned to his father.
"You bet," Buck grinned, "anything, son."
"C'mon, guys," Chicken Little said as he pushed his glasses up, "we've had a planet to save."
Soon they were about to go away all together.
"Crazy support. That's me," Buck grinned hesitantly as Kirby moved all around him, "this fact likes to nibble, doesn't it?"
Abby grinned to the team before Chicken Little came back to see her.
"By the way, I want to say that I've always found you very empathetic," Chicken Little warned Abby before kissing her right on the beak.
Soon Nick covered Tod's eyes where he wouldn't see that.
"Well, that's it..." Abby grinned goofily as she looked like she was simperingly foolish in love.
"Uncle Nick, did you cover my eyes," Tod asked.
"Um, I didn't want you to see anything gross since you're yet a boy," Nick grinned sheepishly.
"I've grown a bit," Tod said.
"C'mon now," Nick warned him.
Tod pouted as he followed his uncle and the others. Soon they left the movie theater to get Kirby back to his parents.
"Alright, then how do we get Kirby back to his parents," Joanie asked.
"Uh...alright, that's a no-brainer, boys," Chicken Little replied, "all we have to do is take the boy down the road to the giant metal alien."
"Sounds easy," Patch said.
"We surrender! Here," Mayor Turkey Lurkey panicked to the alien invasion before taking out a large key, "take the key to the city!"
Soon the alien vaporized the key.
"The key to my car," Mayor Turkey Lurkey suggested.
The alien vaporized his car as well.
"Tic-Tac," Mayor Turkey Lurkey grinned hesitantly as he brought out a container of mints, who growled in frustration before shouting out an enraged "STEELE!!"
This yell was so loud that it echoed across Oakey Oaks. Soon the mayor was vaporized himself like Foxy Loxy.
"Next plan," Jesse said.
Soon the alien saw Kirby before zapping at the others since they were thought to be enemies for taking the young alien away.
"RUN," Joanie panicked.
Everyone ran and soon they found a horse buggy to hide for cover. The aliens passed them as they searched for Kirby and the ones who had 'taken' him.
"OK, that's it, now what, folks," Buck asked Chicken Little and the others, "who, by the way, I support 100%."
"Uh, Plan B," Chicken Little replied.
"Alright, and what's Plan B," Joanie asked.
Kirby squeaked and spoke as he pointed in emotion.
"What," Buck asked, "you have to go to the bathroom?"
Kirby shook his head.
"Would you like juice," Buck continued to guess, "a snack? Corn dog on a stick? Do you want to play some golf? What have you done?!"
"I think these are his parents," Joanie tried to guess himself.
Kirby nodded to her as that was a correct guess.
"Then that's the plan," Jesse said.
"That's it, Dad! Plan B," Chicken Little agreed once he had an idea set in motion, "all we have to do is weave through the traffic in the town square while dodging the death rays from the alien robots. We reach the town hall, climb onto the roof and give the child back to its parents."
"Yes..." Buck smirked, obviously feeling uneasy about all of that.
Soon Alec even gulped hesitantly himself.
Soon they left the buggy and went to carry out with Plan B.
"Chaaaarge," Buck proclaimed as he ran away with Kirby.
"To Kirby's parents," Jesse added.
"Ooh, watch my tail," Nick yelped as he caught his own tail as he ran with the others while the alien robots zapped after them.
Soon Buck tripped over a trashcan, which sent Kirby flying in the air until he landed on Joanie's head.
"Yikes," Joanie panicked as she almost stumbled, but kept running as she panicked about the aliens chasing her now.
"Joanie, take this," Alec called out and tossed the trashcan lid.
Joanie got hit in the face by the lid before she pulled it off her face and held it out as a shield, which made one laser zap against the tin and vaporize the alien robot in return. "Hey, that was actually pretty cool," she chuckled slightly.
"I thought so," Alec said.
"Oh, please let me be strong just this once," Joanie silently prayed before tossing the garbage can lid.
Alec looked around until he gave Joanie's throw a little more oomph and let it hit the robot aliens and throw them away.
"Hey," Joanie grinned as her luck seemed to change somehow.
"Now that's what I call taking out the trash," Buck laughed.
"You said it," Nick added.
They were all suddenly almost at Town Hall, only to be suddenly surrounded by the alien robots.
"Alright, guys, now what," Buck asked hesitantly.
"I don't know about you, but..." Joanie replied as she waved a white flag.
"Really," Alec asked, unimpressed.
"Well, what do they suggest," Joanie asked him with a modest shrug.
Soon they saw a firetruck coming to them.
"Firetruck," Chicken Little called out.
Runt was driving the truck as soon as they were all onto the firetruck and were taken for their own ride away from the robot alien invasion.
"Oh, Plan C," Chicken Little and Buck grinned to each other.
"Wahoo," Copper grinned.
"I don't feel so well....." Joanie moaned as she looked like she was going to throw up.
"No, no, no, no, turn back," Chicken Little warned his friends, "go back to City Hall!"
"But they'll vaporize us," Runt replied.
"We can do this," Jesse assured him.
Fish bubbled to the pig.
"You want me to do something," Runt yelped.
"Runt, just do this, that'll work," Chicken Little coached, "we'll survive!"
"And put on the music," Alec said.
A random piano seemed to play as Runt suddenly felt inspired.
"Oh, my mum loves this song," Joanie commented.
"I saw this coming," Alec said.
"What don't you see coming," Joanie replied.
"I will survive...." Runt said to himself before suddenly looking inspired, "BRAKE, ABBY!!"
"Alright~" Abby chuckled as she touched the brake as she was in her own little world since Chicken Little kissed her.
"Woah," Alec yelped.
"FLOOR IT," Runt yelled out.
Abby chuckled as she did so as he said while daydreaming.
"UP THE LADDER, FISH," Runt commanded.
"Woah, he's serious," Joanie said.
Runt rang the bell to aggravate the aliens in front of Town Hall. "I will survive! I will survive," he cheered for himself before he shrieked as he was about to smash into Town Hall and the truck stopped at the steps, which flung them into the building.
"Wahoo," Patch grinned.
Soon Joanie ran away to a potted plant and threw up into the pot.
"Looks like we need a plan D," Nick said once he saw that the elevator was out of order.
"To the stairs," Jesse said.
Then they all began to run up the stairs floor by floor by force...
"We're on our road...oh, heavenly Celestia," Joanie gasped and shivered from lack of exercise as she was running out of breath faster than the others.
Soon Alec carried the rest of the road. Luckily, they made it up to the roof at last. Joanie wearily opened her eyes before looking down, which made her dizzy and soon she passed out in exhaustion of Alec's hold.
"Of course," Alec moaned.
"Come back, you guys, we can't get out of here," Buck panicked, "it's too dangerous!"
"No, Dad, I can do this," Chicken Little promised.
"Believe in your son, Buck," Nick warned the adult rooster, "I may not be my nephew's father, but I support him and love him every moment of the day, he's just as adventurous and brave and a grand friend, just as his mother."
Tod grinned at his uncle. Nick grinned back fondly to his nephew.
"I...I believe in you, son," Buck eventually said, which made Chicken Little happy.
"Alright, hold on tight," Chicken Little warned Kirby.
Kirby nodded in understanding. Soon Chicken Little flung himself up to the very top.
"Oh, I must've fallen asleep..." Joanie blinked, "what just happened?"
"DON'T LOOK––" Alec's eyes widened.
Soon Joanie looked down and passed out in exhaustion again.
"Down..." Alec sighed, "and she wonders why she wasn't qualified for the Wonderbolts Academy."
"It's times like this that we need Gertie," Jesse said.
"I should've let her come with me..." Alec sighed, "I'm sorry, Jesse."
"Can't you summon them," Jesse asked.
"Well, so can you, but she only goes where you're most vulnerable and you really need her..." Alec remembered.
That gave Jesse an idea and he pretended to be in danger to make Gertie show up for help.
"Oh, I'm really in danger," Jesse acted, "yes, sir, I have no fashion of resolving this without my wonderful friend, and I could lose a lot of time without her consolation and support!"
"And she arrives in 3, 2, 1," Alec cued.
ZOOM!!
Alec almost fell while holding onto Joanie since someone zipped past faster, though incidentally let go of Joanie. "Oops," he grinned hesitantly, "I'm sorry, Joanie..."
"I'm blacking out for ten moments and you're doing this to me," Joanie asked, "you're a sadist, Alec, A SADIST!!"
"You called Jesse," Gertie asked.
"Hey, Gertie," Jesse grinned, "uh, before you save me, could you do me one more favor?"
"What is this," Gertie asked, "a kiss for happiness?"
"No..." Jesse looked away.
"A hug," Gertie guessed.
"Well..." Jesse began.
"SOMEONE HELP ME," Joanie shrieked.
"On my road," Gertie said.
"Thanks, Gertie," Jesse replied.
"Of course," Gertie grinned.
Jesse grinned back.
"I'M GONNA DIE," Joanie panicked.
Soon Gertie helped Joanie back inside.
Joanie kept shrieking as she covered her eyes with her hands and kept on yelling until she stopped and she uncovered her eyes to see that she was safely back on the roof.
"Happy fight," Alec smirked.
"Why are you necessary," Joanie frowned.
"Let's see how Chicken Little is doing," Copper said.
"He's at the top," Alec warned them.
"Yes," Buck cheered for his son.
"Here's your boy," Chicken Little warned the ship he stood underneath, "look over here! Here's your boy! He's alright!"
Aliens began to climb the building.
"Such a beautiful light......" Alec muttered in amazement, "it's like looking Yen Sid in the face..."
Kirby reached out for his parents' emotion as they came down to see their baby.
"Please stop the invasion," Chicken Little begged the parents.
Soon Buck burst out of the building to join his son on the roof. "I'm here, son!"
"Dad, watch out," Chicken Little panicked as they were surrounded by the aliens.
"Get away from my boy," Buck frowned as he fought the aliens.
"Oh, he shouldn't have done that," Alec face-palmed.
"The Mighty Acorns-----" Buck and Chicken Little cheered, only to be vaporized.
"Ooh..." Alec winced, "that's not pretty...."
Soon the aliens vaporized the rest of the group, hearing the frustrated turkey shout his name.
Everything was all black until everyone found themselves floating in some sort of unknown void and found the others who had suffered their same fate. One of which was Foxy Loxy curled up like a coward and sucking her thumb.
"This is weird," Gertie said.
"Tic Tac," Mayor Turkey Lurkey offered.
"Uh..." Joanie blinked.
"WHY DID YOU TAKE OUR CHILD," a dark voice demanded like the Grand and Powerful Oz with three red eyes in rage.
"What?! We didn't take him," Jesse warned him.
"You kinda abandoned him," Joanie weakly added.
"That's bad parenting and I should know," Buck frowned.
"SILENCE," the voice boomed, "release the child!"
"OK, that's it," Nick said.
Joanie picked Kirby away from her head and put him on the possible floor. Kirby plucked his feet on the floor before scampering off and a door opened, allowing him to be hugged.
"Darling," a female voice beamed, "oh, Kirby, I'm so happy to see you! My heavens!"
"That must be the mother," Jesse said.
"At least they're back together," Chicken Little shrugged.
"Yeah, they have their boy," Buck agreed.
"YOU HAVE VIOLATED INTERGALACTIC LAW 90210," the voice boomed at them while frowning all three eyes, "a charge punishable by immediate particle disintegration!"
"Wait, what," Joanie asked.
They were suddenly surrounded by deathly weapons.
"Oh, snap," Buck muttered as he clung to Chicken Little.
"Oh, my..." Joanie gulped.
Soon Kirby spoke and warned the red alien something.
"Huh...what's that," the red alien replied.
Kirby continued, but his own father didn't seem to understand him.
"Uh...I don't quite---" the red alien replied in confusion.
Soon a second alien came out. "Melvin, darling? He says they're warning the truth."
"Oh..." the red alien warned the yellow female alien.
"It was just a misunderstanding," the yellow alien continued to speak for their son.
This was now awkward for the red alien. Soon the weapons were brought off, the others were able to land on the floor with gravity, and the yellow alien warned the red alien to take away his dark and scary voice. Sure enough, the aliens shut themselves away and their robot helpers were revealed before they would reveal themselves to explain everything about the alien invasion.
"Uh...hi...anyone wanna try the big voice," Melvin grinned hesitantly.
"Um, no thanks," Nick said.
Soon enough, the alien robots were restoring everything in Oakey Oaks.
"Again, I cannot warn you how very sorry we are for this whole misunderstanding," Melvin warned the townspeople.
"Oh, heavens, we are so very sorry," Kirby's mother added.
"We are," Melvin chuckled sheepishly, "and if it hadn't been for your son and his friends there, well, we might have vaporized the entire planet."
"Yes, that would have been bad," Gertie agreed.
Soon the townspeople realized how wrong they were about judging Chicken Little so harshly, and began to have a change of heart.
"Oh, my heavens, what a pity that would've been," Kirby's mother added, "I mean, where else would we pick our acorns?"
"Uh, acorns," Joanie asked, which made Alec snap his fingers with a smirk as he now knew where he had the purpose of this adventure with acorns being all about.
"We stop on the road to the in-laws," Melvin replied.
"Wow," Jesse said.
"Look on all the other planets, and you can only find them right here on Earth," Melvin warned the others as he took out the map of the planets with Pluto through Mars crossed out with Earth circled.
"Just as it says here on your primitive graphic display," Kirby's mother added as she showed the welcome sign of Oakey Oaks, which had the tagline: Best Acorns in the Universe.
"That caught our eyes," Melvin added before physically rolling his three eyes around his head.
"Nice," Gertie said.
Soon a robotic alien drone with a siren came over to reveal a blue alien with the top of his head cut off like a rogue cop. "Alright, everything's been put back to normal, except for this little one over here."
Everyone looked to see Foxy Loxy as she had turned into a sugary sweet girly girl, who chuckled and looked friendly. "Hi, y'all~"
"Foxy Loxy," Tod asked out of confusion.
"Aw, it's nice to see ya, buddy," Foxy grinned as she hugged Tod. "Oh, I love your coat, perhaps next Spring I should get one," she began to sing "Lollipop" as she seemed to be in her own little world.
Joanie shivered as she hid behind Alec, looking disturbed and disgusted at the same time.
"She has her brainwaves scrambled during reconstitution, but no worries," the blue alien cop warned the others, "we can put her back the fashion she was."
"No," Nick panicked.
"She's perfect~" Runt looked like he was in love with the new Foxy as they sang "Lollipop" together.
"Eerie..." the blue alien muttered before he took his leave.
"Whoops," Melvin yelped as he took a look at his three-eyed Mickey Mouse watch and looked to his wife. "Tina, look at the time! We better get a move on," he shook hands swiftly with Buck, Nick and Alec, "alright, then. It was nice meeting ya. I'm sorry for the entire complete-scale invasion fact. But, hey, I'm a dad. You know how that is with your children. If they need ya, you do whatever it takes."
"You know that," Alec said.
Soon the aliens took off back into outer space and facts were going to go well for Chicken Little from now on, and where it was time for the group to get going.
"Alright, I guess it's time to go," Copper said.
"This was a fun journey," Tod grinned to his best friend before hugging his uncle, "thanks for coming, Uncle Nick."
"No problem, jocko," Nick grinned back.
Soon everyone left Oakey Oaks and they were back in Pound Puppies Headquarters as they recapped their adventure to Lucky, Cookie, Strudel, Niblet and Squirt.
"Did ya have fun," Rebound smirked to Patch, "I bet ya had fun! We should play together sometime!"
"Is she always this emotional," Nick asked.
"She is a bit of a ball of energy," Niblet chuckled about his little sister.
"Sure, what have you done to play," Patch asked Rebound.
"Red Rover with your friends," Rebound smirked.
"Alright," Patch accepted.
The humans decided to get home while Patch would stay and play Red Rover with Rebound and the others until it would be a best time to get back home themselves.
After playing with the pups, Patch and the others went back home.
"Phew," Patch yawned and stretched, "Rebound sure has a lot of energy for just one puppy."
"Did you tone down your strength so the puppies could run through you," Jesse asked.
"Uh-huh..." Patch nodded, "I even let Cupcake pin me down."
"That's nice," Jesse grinned.
Patch grinned back and decided to eat some food before taking a nap.
"Can I ask you something," Jesse asked, "is Cupcake Cookie's puppy or something? Because they look a little alike."
"No, she's not, but she did adopt her as her own daughter," Patch said while eating.
"Ah, alright," Jesse replied, "I could sense a closeness in them somehow."
"Yes, common mistake, like how Lucky thinks of me as his own son," Patch grinned.
Alec looked around as he held a book called Pokemon Origins in his arms and he wondered if now or later would be a best time to warn Joanie and Jesse about the creatures known as Pocket Monsters, though in the very distant future, they would know a lot more about the Pokemon because of, spoilers.
"They'll learn in the future," Alec said.
"You say something," Joanie asked.
"GAH," Alec yelped since she came up behind him before he frowned, "dang it, Joanie, why did you do that?!"
"Wow, that was fun..." Joanie smirked before reaching out for the book, "hey, what's that?"
"Nothing," Alec panicked as he hid the book.
"Looks like something," Joanie said as she came on his back.
"It's for work," Alec sat on the book.
"I bet it's something really cool," Joanie lay next to him as she reached for the book just because he hid it away from her.
"Yes, but it's something you'll learn in the future," Alec said.
Joanie took the book.
"Joanie," Alec snapped, raising his hands over her, about to strangle her, though he restrained himself.
"Pock...eh...mun...origins..." Joanie asked, trying to decipher the title, "what's a 'pockehmun'?"
"It's nothing to learn about now," Alec said before making the book disappear.
Joanie's eyes widened as magic dust appeared in her hands now.
"Now, if you'll excuse me, I must get going back home myself," Alec replied, "I have a feeling until Diana invites Sabrina and any guests she wants over to Egypt with Velma Dinkley and that some Yu-Gi-Oh might be involved."
"That'd be an interesting crossover," Joanie muttered.
"Yes, it would," Alec nodded in agreement.
"I'll find out what these Pocket facts are, Alec...one fashion or another," Joanie frowned as the warlock disappeared until later on. "I'll--never mind..." she muttered as she decided to go home.
Soon the next few days would pass side-by-side and then where would be time for the Friendship Festival.
Joanie was asleep in her bed, sleeping in since there was no school before her cellphone rang and she responded it. "Hello?"
"Joanie, you didn't oversleep, did you," Jesse asked.
"What? No, me. Never..." Joanie mumbled.
"Fine, because you'll need your energy for the Friendship Festival," Jesse said.
