From the Spotlight to the Alley
"Look! Here he comes!"
"Out of the way, I wanna see him!"
"Not 'till I see him first!"
"Hold it, girl, I love him more."
No, I love him more!"
This flock of female birds had been waiting outside his hollow for three hours now. Why? Because this was only the home of the most handsome, romantic, and swoon-worthy creature known to almost every bird in the jungle. His name was Nigel. He was a tall and quite large sulphur-crested cockatoo with a very attractive British accent and was blessed with natural acting and performing talent. Whether it be singing, dancing, acting, or plain posing, he was the one guy who could pull it all off.
Every girl wanted him. But the truth is, love just wasn't his thing; sure, he though it was sweet that everyone thought of him to be the perfect package. It's just that the idea of a relationship didn't seem to perk his interest. But that didn't change his equal love towards all his faithful fans and supporters. Especially his most important fans...his parents.
His mom, Angel, and his dad, Casper had a feeling that there was something different, yet special about their baby since day one. When Nigel was only a toddler, he always expressed his emotions in a very dramatic and beautiful manner. He sang his favorite songs just right, and even ended up ignorantly winning the hearts of a couple of his play dates.
Ever since his home jungle in Tasmania recognized his talent when he was fifteen (human years), he'd been a local celebrity. That was six years ago; he was now twenty-one (human years), and still remained in star category among his friends, family, and 'neighborhood'.
Suddenly, a hush waved across the audience outside. And out of the shadows, he emerged, and the fans went crazy.
"Nigel, we love you!"
"I want you so bad!"
The cockatoo chuckled at the adorable remark.
"How long have you girls been waiting out here? It's awfully muggy, you must be melting by now."
"Melting for you!" One yelled.
"Thank you all, so much for coming here to show me this much-needed support. I'm so nervous and am almost considering declining my first decision."
"No, Nigel, you need to take this opportunity!" Another screamed.
(Flashback one week)
Nigel had been flying around, trying to explore new areas he'd never seen of his home, Mist Jungle, and ended up in a bigger predicament than he expected. Swooping gracefully across and through the clouds, he saw an unusual sight from his distance.
Instead of seeing the familiar green of his jungle, a bunch of orange, tan and reds came into view. What was that place? His youthful and adventurous spirit soon tugged at him until he finally succumbed to the sight of this mysterious new expanse.
