Angry Birds Reunite Chapter 1 - Story of the Past

Matilda was telling Hal and Bubbles one of her stories back then when she was in Piggy Island. She remembered the great experience travelling through the Islands with pigs guarding her and being in charge of the cruise ship, having one of the pigs to be a captain on and sailing with the help of the map.

In Past Times

On Piggy Island, a young adult black bird, with a fuse on his head that have yellow tint on it, and red eyebrows, and a red bird older than him, with freckles all over his body and black eyebrows, were tasked to meet a new visitor. They were told by one of the Pigs that she would be staying and their job was to make her feel welcome. While the ship was on route to its destination, Piggy Island, these birds had a private chat on the beach.

"Terence," the black bird called, "when this 'visitor' comes, how would I welcome her?"

"First, introduce yourself to the foreigner. Do not forget that the visitor is a woman, so you must treat her with some respect," replied Terence with the voice of a gentleman.

"Don't worry, mate! I am very, VERY good with ladies."

Terence scoffed at his cocky attitude. He knew that he always did this to seek attention. Once, he taught one of the five children about the meaning of 'cool' personality, and had led this kid into his office for counselling. He wondered, if his working partner would ever change his behaviour. He was mulling over this still when the ship finally arrived.

Up on the ship, the pigs dressed as sailors, opened the gateway for the woman to come down to the island by stairs. Here, Terence and his working pal remarked on the unexpectedly gorgeous sight; the woman was a white chicken with light pink cheeks and light greyish-green belly. She wore red lipstick on her beak and was wearing a smooth-fabric golden hat with violet ribbon string tied around it. There was and a real red rose flower stuck together with the ribbon string on the hat, giving her a more fashionable and classy like appearance. The hat that she was wearing was blocking her eyesight and it worried the black bird a little bit.

As the chicken walked slowly down the stairs, the young greater antillean bullfinch stepped up quickly to help her so she wouldn't trip over and injure herself.

"Thank you, sir. That is very kind of you." The lady offered.

"Don't mention it, miss. My name is Bomb. It is a pleasure to meet you," Bomb complemented.

The lady got taken slightly aback by the odd name. "Bomb? What an... interesting name you got... Uh."

Bomb scratched his head in shyness. "I was named like that because of my nature. I would rather not talk about it, so, uh..."

"Oh, how rude of me. I should have snap out of our awkwardness and move on! I am Matilda, and I am here to stay in this marvellous island. I don't know where to start, cause this IRRITATING hat is blocking my view!"

"Shall I take that off for you? If you don't mind, I'll go ahead."

Matilda giggled a bit. "Oh yes. This hat has been keeping my feathers warm, but now it's overheating me because of that dreadful sunlight. You better be careful when you touch it with your bare wings!"

"Of course, dear. Ironic when you said 'bare wings' though." Bomb helped the poor lady, putting the hat down to relieve the discomfort. Bomb became surprised right after taking off the hat, and could not really believe of what he just saw with his big eyes.

This beautiful lady, in front of the two birds, had pink eyes! They looked so pretty and bright that even Terence felt his eyes would pop out. The initial attraction that Bomb felt quickly turned into love at first sight, and Matilda felt the same when she saw the first and most handsome bird ever in her heart.

Both the birds were blushing when they realised the crush they had on each other. This was the moment of their life! They were perfect for each other. As they went down the stairs, Bomb still tried his best to not be nervous when talking to her. "Sooo... you want a tour... Ms. Matilda?"

Matilda had the same thoughts as him, as if they had shared a bond. She went on, "Certainly, Mister. Well, after the tour... um... what should I do?"

Terence came towards them when they reached the last step. "You will meet the children. They are currently staying at the clear land side where me and Bomb are conducting kindergarden school on."

Matilda was surprised to learn that they had a school on that island. She hadn't knew that when she asked the pigs on board about places in Piggy Island. Either the pigs weren't aware or they did not remember as this wasn't shown on the map.

Later on, as the tour had started, the birds had been showing Matilda places in Piggy Town. The town had a classy restaurant, food market, library, King Pig's castle and many more. The citizens of this town welcomed the tourist with a big smile on their faces, and Matilda thought that they looked creepy when they did that, but Bomb saved her by saying that their faces were natural. As the tour went on, Matilda talked more about herself and her life. Terence wasn't very interested in listening to her story, but was glad that Bomb enjoyed it. Bomb also talked about his life, as well as working with Terence ever since he was in his early 20s. But his partner would rather not converse about his past, and Bomb knew that Terence kept that as a secret.

When the tour ended, the red cardinal decided to show the new bird his school. He said that he was working as both the headmistress and the counsellor, while Bomb worked as a teacher. Matilda reminisced about her previous life where she and her old friend teamed up as teachers before she finally left her home. She missed the friend so much, but she kept her spirits up and moved on. When they reached the school, there were actually no buildings. It was just an empty space filled with short and thin grass and trees by the side. However, some spaces were taken up by the five children.

Matilda was so enlightened to meet them! She loved children and treated them like they were her own. She even commented on how adorable they were, and Bomb laughed as he knew that children WERE like that.

Terence introduced the kids to her; first he picked out the cutest bird, who looked actually very similar to him. He claimed that he was the older brother of Red and describe his energetic and happy-go-lucky personality. The little red bird went to Matilda, and Terence smiled, mentioning that he was VERY friendly, even with strangers.

Next, Matilda met the yellow triangular canary named Chuck. Terence had told her the fact that Bomb taught him how to be "the best of the birds", but much to his dismay, Chuck became an arrogant bird. Despite the bad habit of this kid, he was also well-behaved and liked to meet new people. He was close to Red and was his best friend.

The third bird was a emerald toucanet and had the longest beak among all the kids. Hal happened to be the clumsiest of them all, and he usually needed help from either of the adult birds to hold on to when walking anywhere, due to loss of balance as a result of the heavy beak he had. Nonetheless, he was very attentive with his friends and according to his principal, always hope to keep their spirits up.

Another bird was a white fluffy bird and was the tallest kid on land. He had stated his dream was to be a hockey star, thus the name Hockey. Hockey did not display a good behaviour; he had gotten into trouble for day-dreaming every Physical Education lessons, and Bomb jokingly said that he had fun during school time.

The last bird, was a grey falcon and she was the youngest and the only female bird in the group. Her classmates called her Silver. Silver was considered goofy enough to be a comedian, but because of young age, she was also shy and nervous. She tended to wear orange fluffy headphones with thin handler to represent her personality. This reminded Matilda of one of her children back on a different island, but she cut off her thoughts quickly so that Bomb and Terence would not be suspicious on what she was thinking about.

When they finished the introduction, Terence told every birds about something important.

"News, guys. Including you, Bomb's lady."

Matilda jumped off a bit and turn to face him. Bomb's body turned a bit red when his boss mentioned his name. He felt that Terence had let out his little secret about Matilda. Thankfully, she did not pay much attention on being called like that and stayed calm. Bomb heaved a sigh of relief.

"Anyways, this is an important message for yours truly, Mr. Terence. Now to the message. AHEM. I got a family relative business today. You may not know it yet, or maybe just new to it, but one of my relatives from Finland will come to visit to this very kindergarten. His name is Mr. Tony and he is my twin cousin. Uh, like 'same age' relative and I am lucky to have him. When he comes here, give him the biggest respect that you had, the same way as meeting our Ms. Matilda here. She expects you to put on your best behaviour, even if you had put in a little effort to do it. And remember VERY clearly, that you should not mess around with him because if you do, you will be sent to my office IMMEDIATELY and my dear cousin may file out a complaint. Any questions will be submitted to my office. Have a nice day, folks."

The kids started to chat with each other in a noisy manner, just as soon as Terence left. Then, Bomb cut the noise with his speech. "Yo, kids! Mr. Bomb is here and he will bring you to Ms. Matilda. She is now officially your teacher, and she seeks to help you out in case you have some issues or... I don't know, problem solving. You hear what your counsellor says, so please keep up your good work here." As he finished telling the kids, he turned towards Matilda. "M'lady, you have your chance. Be a good motherly teacher to them. Don't be very nervous, they should be!"

"Do not worry, sir Bomb. I taught my previous kids before, and I gotta tell ya', they LOVED me!"

Bomb became confident listening to the words. "Oookay then. You have the spotlight, miss. Any problems, I'll be here by your side, staying on the rock and watch how you teach those playful children."

As Bomb went to his standing space, Matilda faced the kids and addressed them.

"Umm... Good morning, kids! As you all know, I am Ms. Matilda. Well, you can actually call me 'Mommy' or something else, uh..."

One of the young birds, Chuck, bounced off with excitement. "YAY, we have a mommy now! Give out the awards for 'Best Mommy on Piggy Island'!"

The other four birds stared at him unamused. Silver thought that she was better at making jokes than him. Matilda, however, took his words as a compliment, and went on.

"As what I usually do, uh... How about I teach you about being talented?"

All the children smiled widely on hearing that. They had gotten very interested on showing their natural talent as well as impressing people.

"Wow, that's a great idea! We never had a teacher that teaches about talent?" Red exclaimed excitedly.

"Nobody but us," Hockey answered. "This is going to be the best day of my life! I don't have to dream too much of being a star. Let's see how our talents are made of! Who's with me?"

All birds kept saying yes endlessly. Silver was very enthusiastic, Hal could not keep himself from hopping up and down without falling and Red and Chuck held each other and spinned each other like one of the traditional children game. Bomb, looking at the delighted kids, was proud of them and appreciated Matilda for her efforts to finally make them happy and she blushed when she saw him winking at her.

As time went by, during break time, the children were playing around the land. Matilda and Bomb focused on Silver and Hockey eating their lunch. They had waffles filled with strawberry jam, together as soon as Red and Hal approached them for permission to start painting.

"Mommy and Mr. Bomb, can I get a brush and purple paint, please?" They asked the teachers.

"Right there," Bomb pointed at the paint brush and a paint can that contained purple paint near Terence's office. "I will open the can lid for you."

Red and Hal thanked Bomb for the permission and followed him to get what they wanted. As soon as Bomb left Matilda unaccompanied, she came up to the other two kids.

"How is it going between the two of you? Enjoying your lunch?"

"Good, mommy," replied Silver. "Mr. Bomb is a skilled chef. He sure knows how to cook great food for us, unlike those usual school cafeterias. Hey, you look hungry. Here, have my waffle." She offered Matilda her bitten lunch.

"These waffles are great!" Hockey exclaimed with joy. "Strawberry jam-filled are my favourite. Nothing beats the strawberry jam-filled waffles!"

Matilda rejected Silver's offers, saying that she was feeling fully. Bomb, holding the paint can already lidless, returned with Red and Hal on his back five minutes later. Matilda found it weird to not smell an odour from the paint and wondered why. Hal asked Bomb if he could hold the paint can all by himself. Bomb, despite knowing that Hal still had loss of balance, gave him a heavy-weighting paint can in response. As Red and Hal ran towards the tallest tree, where Chuck was chilling under the shades, to paint on it, Matilda was worried about their safety.
