Nobby paced nervously outside his sister and brother in laws hut, needing a serious talk with them about his relationship with Sophia. They liked each other but the adult rooster wasn't entirely sure if he wanted to settle down with her. He stopped pacing, looking up as the hut door opened.

Rocky and Ginger gave the nervous Nobby some questionable looks as to why he was waiting outside the hut

"We have to talk. It's about Sophia and I don't know what to do." Nobby tells them bluntly

"What about her?" Rocky asked

"I- I don't know if I should settle with her or not. It's a hard decision." Nobby said, ruffling his feathers out of stress

"Do what you think is right. That's what happened with me and Rocky." Ginger told her little brother

The couple smiles at each other and held wings. You'd think they didn't age at all, minus some grey feathers coming in

Nobby didn't change much after the last time. He still has an overbite and he didn't get much taller...or skinnier. And his tail feathers were short in size compared to Rocky's along with Rocky's comb. Nobby lets out a worried sigh and went for a walk to calm his nerves. Why was this so hard for him? Ugh! Love. It's so easy yet confusing at the same time

The rooster with the overbite bumped into someone, not really paying attention to where he was going. He smiled to see his niece, Ava and his nephew, Ricky. Ginger and Rocky had two more chicks due to two no good foxes stealing two eggs from Ginger's nest a few years back.

Ricky was a spitting image of his father, the only difference being their bandannas as Ricky's was green and their voices were different but not far off

Ava was more like her mother than her father, being about Ginger's height and having the same feather colors, the only thing she inherited from her dad was his eyes

"You don't look so good, uncle Nobby." Ava points out, making her uncle avoid eye contact

"I'd say. Did you eat those red berries again?" Ricky adds

"No! That was only one time! One! I'm doing just fine. No need to worry about me." Nobby said, puffing out his chest and holding his head high

Oh brother

Grayson and Lillian approached their siblings and uncle. The young rooster was mostly black except for some gray feathering and a yellow bandanna while his sister was tan and had a green scarf

"What's going on, here?" Lillian clucks, folding her wings

"Uncle Nobby is being weird." Ava tells her sister

"So? He's always weird." Grayson buts in

"Hey! I'm right here you know!" Nobby frowns a little, furrowing his brows at the teenagers. Kids had no respect for adults anymore these days. If Fowler was still alive he'd lecture them like there was no tomorrow

The young chickens laughed. They could never take their uncle seriously most of the time. They fell silent as their parents walked up behind Nobby, not looking pleased at their kids picking on their already stressed uncle

"Hey mom. Did you brush your feathers today? They look extra shiny." Grayson says in hopes of getting out of trouble

"Y-yeah. Dad, did you take a little off the tail end? Something looks different about you." Ava smiles nervously

"Kids, leave your uncle Nobby alone. He has a lot on his mind right now and he certainly doesn't need you giving him a hard time." Ginger scolds her children

"Apologize right now." Rocky frowns

"We're sorry, uncle." The kids apologized

"Now run along." Ginger said, motioning with her wing

The young chickens muttered to each other, walking away from the adults

Ginger and Rocky accompanied Nobby on the walk back to the British rooster's hut, the feisty green eyed hen and her brother going back and forth with stories from when they were chicks

"Those were good times, sis." Nobby sighs, drifting off into thought

"They certainly were." She agrees

As the chickens neared Nobby's hut, they could see a white hen waiting outside. Sophia. Nobby had met the beautiful hen when returning with the others from their journey to get back home to England. The short rooster had never fallen so hard for a hen as beautiful and caring as Sophia

"There you are. I was looking all over for you." Sophia said

"S- sorry. I was with Ginger and Rocky." He apologized, twiddling his wings

"We better go check on the kids. See you around." Ginger said, walking in the direction of the cricket course, Rocky trailing behind his wife

Nobby and Sophia went inside, talking about the weather and what was going on. They even talked about going on a date later that night at sunset. Now if only Nobby could bloody decide what he wanted to do in life with Sophia

Ginger and Rocky watched their kids play cricket, Grayson and Ricky against Lillian and Ava. "Woo hoo! Eat our dust, boys!" Lillian cheers as Ava landed them another point

"She takes after you." Rocky chuckled

Ginger rolls her eyes and playfully pushed her mate

"I can't believe how fast they grew up. And to think that they'll be leaving us soon." The hen said, a hint of sadness in her voice

"I know but they'll be fine without us. it's all part of growing up." Rocky said

The wind started to pick up, blowing and whipping around rather violently. The couple looked up at the sky, the clouds showing an ominous color.

"Kids! Take shelter!" Ginger called out. She had a bad feeling about the sudden change in weather

The young chickens exchanged looks and followed after their parents, sprinting to the safety of the hut. They reached the hut just in time as it started to downpour heavily, the wind not dying down. Ginger and Rocky watched from the doorway of the hut while their kids took cover incase anything happened

They gasped at the sight of debris crashing into some of the huts and other structures and buildings. It was absolutely gut wrenching, not knowing if those poor chickens were ok. The couple immediately moved away from the door and started to run to the kids when the roof caved in, the sides toppling over shortly after

"Ma! Dad!" Ricky yells

The weather had soon passed and the kids got to their feet, sifting through the remains of their destroyed hut in hopes of reaching their parents

Ava and Grayson found Ginger and helped her up, the green eyed hen coughed and rubbed her head

Ricky and Lillian desperately tried to find their father. "There!"

Lillian helped Ricky move pieces of wood off of the American rooster. Rocky shook his head and looked around in confusion before standing up

Their home was just like all the others. Destroyed. Everything that they worked hard on for the past few years was all gone. They'd have to relocate and find a new home wether they liked it or not.

The chickens didn't waste any time leaving the sanctuary behind for a new home. Nobody said a word as it all had happened so fast and now they were without a home. Nobby took one final glance at the island before walking after the others. All good things must come to an end

"Where do you think we'll end up?" Ava whispers

"Anywhere but back there." Grayson replies

The chickens came across a dirt road and decided to rest by the roadside for the night and would move on in the morning. Everyone was tired, hungry and upset. But mostly upset more than anything. Lillian glances over at her parents, Ginger nuzzling into Rocky's chest as he holds her protectively. The ginger hen was still shaken up from incident, even with her husband doing his best to calm her nerves. Nobby and Sophia were cuddling up for warmth as the sun began to set on the English countryside. Nothing could compare to how terrible that day went

The chickens didn't get much sleep from vehicles driving by to strange noises in the night. They didn't feel safe without the protection of the sanctuary. The birds hoped they could find a new home that was just as safe

Ta da! Not too shabby considering it's only the first chapter!! What do you guys think will happen next? Keep an eye out for chapter 2! :D
