Chapter 1: Agreement

It had been a very quiet day at the barnyard, which was rather rare. The inhabitants of the barnyard where usually used too something strange or out of the ordinary to come crashing down from either space or 's back yard, but nothing of the sort happened. No Beady, no Snotty Boy, no aliens, nothing. With all of that free time, everyone just decided to take a break, and relax for the day. Of course, Otis and the rest of the gang took as much advantage of that day as possible. Otis and Abby had a pool party, Bessy worked on her knitting, Pig spent his day in the kitchen cooking , Peck took his time with schooling the smaller farm animals Boil, Joey, and Macy, and Freddy just relaxed in his stall. Everything was going well, and once the evening sun had set, everyone went to their respective stalls too sleep the rest of the night away. Well, everyone except Freddy. Freddy was in his stall listening , for the two hundredth time, his favorite Flabba CD. He was in a state of complete bliss and euphoria. As the final track of the CD ended, Freddy took off his headphones and stashed it away near his bean bag bed for the next day. Stretching his arms and tail out, he noticed that Peck, his best only rooster friend, hadn't returned from teaching. Freddy looked over at the small alarm clock that had been perched up next to his bed ,and it read 8:30. This was a bit confusing, as Peck always came home at 7:30 on the dot. Just as he was about to go out and look for his best friend, Peck came through the stall door with a tower of books enveloping his wings. As Peck placed the books on his bean bag bed, he gave a ,"Whoo!" and sat down on a spare seat next to his bed." So, how was the classes ?" Freddy asked in his bubbly voice. " Oh, it was long...and stressful." Freddy looked over at the large set of books and papers that had now caused a large part of Peck's bean bed to flatten in response to the heavy weight. " I see you have a big set of books." Freddy then looked over at Peck and asked" So what are you guy's learning about?" Peck turned to the pear shaped ferret and said," We're learning Biology." He said. Freddy gave a confused look and said, " What's that?" Peck immediately answered and said," Biology is the study of living things. Like trees, plants, and animals." Freddy then said," Oh! Okay." Freddy said. A few minutes of pure silence filled the entirety of the room, only being interrupted by the rustling pages of books and shallow breathing. Freddy looked at his friend, who had now been reading up on one of his textbooks, of what he could not comprehend. He wasn't a very intelligent animal, and his illiteracy only further dimmed his intelligence even more. It wasn't until he heard an ,"Oh no." from the rooster that he spoke." What's wrong?" Freddy asked in a calm, but concerned manner." I have a big project that I completely forgot about, and it's a major part of the lesson I'm giving." Peck started to sweat slightly, as he mentally cursed himself for being so forgetful." I don't know what I'm going too do? This project is very important, but I do know if anyone will even have the time, much less the patience , to go through with this." Freddy could see that the Rooster was now starting to panic, and this worried him. He cared a lot about his best friend, and he hated to see Peck this upset." I'll volunteer." Freddy said raising his hand slightly. Peck immediately dropped his book in surprise , which made the ferret flinch a bit. " You.. You will?" Peck said surprised." Of course, I mean you are my best friend. So why not." Peck's beck grew into a wide grin as he ran over to the ferret and began giving him the biggest bear hug he could give." Oh thank you Freddy!" Peck said excitedly," Your a real pal." Freddy returned the hug, and after a few seconds, they both let each other go. " So, um... How is this going to work?" Freddy asked. " Don't worry Freddy, I'll explain everything tomorrow." Freddy then nodded, and within minutes, both the ferret and rooster where fast asleep.
