Aparkalypse Now (formerly Invasion of the Parking Space Destroyers) is the 8th episode of Season 1: Stella v Gale in The Angry Birds Stella Show.

## Summary

When Gale decides to park in the Birds' former parking spot, Stella & her firends battle Gale for the perfect parking space.

## Plot

### Carpooled

Stella & her friends are playing a game of solitare on Stella's computer. However, a loud horn plays, & they look to see that there's a car being placed onto the island, but everyone is confused, since no-one didn't even order a car in the 1st place. However, they ignore it & go see the car anyway, & Stella looks on the note on her head that sees that she just filled out a check that made her win a car 1 week earlier. They decide to take it up & get inside, with Stella deciding the drive. However, they find a parking spot near the beach & begin to park it, but wind up getting cut off by Gale.

Stella shows her road rage & yells at Gale to get out of their parking space, but Gale isn't listening since she's wearing earbuds & listening to Sinkin' Dark. Soon, Gale finishes listening & yells at them what they're doing behind her, & they explain that they're trying to park, but thanks to her they have to part near their treehouse. Soon, Gale, moves her car from it's parking space, & it gives the Golden Island Birds enough time to get to the parking space, but Gale quickly returns to her parking space to grab her earbuds. The Birds have had enough, & try to attack, but it turns out that car battles will just break their cars. Then, they decide to hold a race to the biggest car space.

### The Race For the Parking

Soon, at the starting line, Poppy says to Gale that she'll beat her so hard that her butt will start to hurt, & she has something up her feathers, while Gale says to Stella that she's going to finish her off so hard that her tires are going to fall off, & Handsome Pig starts the race, & the 2 racers immediately take off in the blink of an eye. Then, this race goes off the rails!! LITERALLY!!!! This race goes through a lake, the ocean, the desert, & even around the island. Then, 38 minutes of reckless racin later, the 2 racers are now in all out war, & they start attacking each other, until they decide to go for the ultimate strategy: ramming into each other.

However, they don't mind of what they said to each other earlier, & they ram into each other anyway, causing a massive explosion. Then, the racers are in the hospital, stating that ramming was a terrible idea to begin with, & the episode ends with a tire rolling into the place.
