## Summary

During a vacation in Parakeetris, Matilda falls in love with a talking mime named Jake Jerry Tenson. Forced to take drastic measures, Red & Chef Pig try to get her to watch the sightings of Parakeetris, while a outrageously jealous Bomb tries to separate them *&* destroy the love triangle.

## Plot

The episode starts in Parakeetris. Jerry is running away from Red & Chef Pig, who are anxiously pulling on Matilda's head feathers & yell at her to see the amazing sightings, while an angry Bomb chases after them & yells for her to be with her. As the Birds get close to the screen, Red jumps off of Chef Pig's head rips a hole through the screen. Now that he is out of the episode, Red makes an important speech to the viewers: "Hello. You see us fighting over Matilda & a somewhat talking mime. Sometimes a cub goes after a rat & it's father tries to stop his son. This is a chaotic story of a day in the town of Parakeetris. Let me tell you the story of "The Love Story of the Chicken & the Talking Mime." Here's how this chaotic day in Parakeetris started & how we resolved this problem here."

### The Love Story of the Chicken & the Talking Mime

The story starts with Red, Bomb & Matilda rushing to the van. As they all get into the van, Red starts the van & the Birds drive off. However, as they leave the driveway, Chef Pig excitedly rises from the middle shotgun seat. Red briefly shrieks & tells him to get out. But Chef Pig tells him that he decided to go to Parakeetris because he was born there. Red tells him it's okay for him to go as long if it's not a trick for him to steal the Eggs. Chef tells him that it's not a trick & they continue to drive off to Parakeetris. Chef Pig then slumps to the back of the van & explains his plan to King Pig & Ross while whispering so the Birds can't hear over a walkie talky. He then slips back into the shotgun seat. Soon, they all reach Parakeetris & park their car next to a apartment. Soon, they move into the apartment & go see the viewing from the windows. During their walk through the town, Matilda bumps into a Mime & sees his face. The orange mime tells his audience to leave & talks to her, Matilda is surprised by Jerry & him speaking. Matilda returns to the others with heart pupils & floating. Red asks her why she's acting weird, & she replies with "He's... handsome." Red then looks at the camera & tells the viewers the start of this madness. As the day goes by, Matilda starts to follow Jerry everywhere. Red & Chef Pig then sleep peacefully while a angry Bomb stays awake, while Matilda mumbles "Jerry" to sleep.

Later, the next morning, Red & Chef Pig are pulling Matilda, telling her to go see the viewings but Matilda keeps following Jerry. As soon as she gets to him, Bomb interferes & angrily tells her that she must not be with Jerry because he heard her mumbling Jerry's name. However, Matilda leaps over Bomb's head & latches onto Jerry's & doesn't let go. Jerry then runs off screaming. Red then tells the others that this will be rough to do. He & Chef Pig sigh while Bomb furiously growls.

On the last day of their vacation, (See above at the beginning of the episode cause I don't wanna do this again.). As they reach for the screen again, Red shows up again & gives a different speech: "Now you know this disaster of a day, & we know that baby tigers are just hedgehogs who eat stuff in front of them & eat farting birds who are cannibals!!!!!! Forget I said that. Now, let us do continue this chaotic episode." The episode resumes & before Matilda could reach Jerry, Red grabs Chef Pig & ties him up against the ground. He tells what was that for, & Red tells him that he heard him over that plan to seal the Eggs & he lied about it. Red then stops Matilda & Bomb fighting over Jerry & tells her that she needs time apart. Matilda eyes tear up & she happily says okay. Bomb says that they would g to the Eiffel Tower & states that Chuck wouldn't go because of fear of heights because he tried to get him & Matilda down from a tree. As they get on, all 3 take a selfie & say "lé fromage!" The camera flashes & the story *&* episode ends with Red destroying the whole tape down & says "I'm tired. It's 2:00 in the morning." & walks away.
