So… He gets a special place in this story…
So, lets get to it!
Chapter 1: Threatened
It was another sunny, bright day in New York City and in one certain building, a female white Pomeranian was laying on her side on a couch, half asleep as her owners, a man and a woman, were preparing to go out for the day. As soon as the owners were done, the woman of the apartment walked past the white Pomeranian, giving a quick, soft stroke on her body as she was leaving with her husband.
"Bye Gidget, be a good doggie." The woman told the Pomeranian named Gidget.
As soon as the couple were out of the apartment, Gidget got up, shaking herself awake and turned around to the window. Usually she would say "Hi" to her next door neighbor and her crush, Max, a Jack Russell terrier, but today she jumped over to the other side and climbed the fire escape to the roof.
"Getting better at this." Gidget told herself as she hopped up the steps of the fire escape, since she had difficult the first time she went up the fire escape.
Gidget was on her way to see her best friend, Tiberius, a Red-Tailed hawk. He lived, alone, in a shed and even thought he was a predatory bird, he was a friendly bird. Even after Tiberius almost took a bite out of Gidget to eat her, she still gave him a chance and ever since Gidget found Max with the help of Tiberius and her other friends, the two have been very close.
Gidget finally got to the roof, walking towards the shed with no fear, since she knew Tiberius very well and he would be very happy to see his best friend again. However, when Gidget got to the door of the shed, she didn't see the expected hawk with a happy smile on his face. Instead she just saw the inside of the shed as it always was. Gidget was confused, Tiberius was always here around this time, for him to not be here was very strange.
"Where could that hawk be?" Gidget said out loud as she was wondering where Tiberius was.
She turned around again and just decided to do her most favorite activity, which was to just look at Max, while he was looking at the door, waiting for Katie to come home. Well, now Duke was also there, doing the same as Max was, Gidget hoping the big, brown dog didn't block her view of Max.
As Gidget walked and was about to reach the top steps of the fire escape, she heard a loud screech and looked towards the source of the sound, to see…
A Peregrine Falcon with black and brown feathers diving down at her.
"What the…" Gidget started to say and then realized what the falcon was doing. "Ahhh!" Gidget screamed as she ran away from the falcon.
The falcon had its claws out in front and was about to latch onto Gidget to make her his meal when a familiar voice stopped the falcon.
"Tomada!" Tiberius' voice rang. "Don't eat my friend!"
Gidget looked back to see her hawk friend in between her and the falcon. The Red-Tailed Hawk looked at Gidget with a smile.
"Sorry Gidget, you know how it is with every predator." Tiberius said, Gidget panting and sweating as she slowly replied.
"You know this bird?" Gidget asked, looking around at the hungry looking falcon.
"Oh yes, let me introduce you two to each other." Tiberius replied, signaling his falcon friend to come closer. "Gidget, this is my old friend, Tomada, you can call him Tom for short, he moved to England for awhile with his owner and he just came back to the city a couple of days ago." Tiberius introduced Tomada to his dog friend. "And Tom, this is Gidget, my friend, so please, whatever you do, don't eat her."
The falcon changed his expression from being hungry and evil looking to friendly as he walked up to greet the white dog.
"Nice to meet you Gidget, any friend of Tiberius is a friend of me." Tomada extended out his wing to shake Gidget's paw, having a bit of a British accent.
Gidget extended out her paw and met Tomada's wing in a shake. She was still quite nervous around the falcon, having the same kind of feeling she had when she first met Tiberius on this exact roof. She also had this other feeling, but she couldn't quite put her paw on it at the moment.
"You two are going to be great friends with each other." Tiberius said, thinking that this relationship would be good. "Well Gidget, I still got a lot to catch up on with Tomada, we'll hang out later, okay?"
"Sure, I guess that's fine." Gidget replied slowly. "Well see you later."
"Bye." Tiberius and Tomada said at the same time as Gidget went to the fire escape again and started climbing down to her apartment she shared with her owners.
As she was climbing down, while focusing on the steps, she was thinking about Tiberius' friend. Tom seemed like a nice falcon, and a perfect friend for Tiberius, too perfect in fact… Gidget felt like Tiberius would spend more and more time with Tomada, that eventually her hawk BFF would forget all about her and that her strong relationship with Tiberius would be destroyed.
Gidget was determined to not let that happen, but she needed a way to get rid of Tomada so that Tiberius can be her friend forever. The white Pomeranian was so focused on her thoughts that she lost focus on the fact that she was climbing down a fire escape that she stepped onto open air and fell down.
"Ahhh!" Gidget once again screamed as she was falling down on the steps.
Gidget eventually landed down, the fall not as hard as one would expect to have when falling down on a metal surface, but it was softer, feathery, in fact. Gidget opened her shut eyes that she had during her fall to see that she had landed down on a bird. The bird had mostly red feathers, with white on its face and blue and yellow linings on its wings, the bird also had black talons, beak, and eyes.
The bird was a Scarlet macaw and Gidget didn't know it at the moment, but this macaw would be the answer to her problems…
Looks like someone feels threatened…
And who is this Scarlet?
