Chapter 2: Valentine Disaster

The next day, Every bird on Bird island celebrated Valentine's day. It was every bird's tradition to sing, give flowers and give presents. Meanwhile, Reyven has isolated himself from the town testing his second rocket. Reyven then began his inspection, "Electric propulsion check... high oxygen check... two doubled charged thruster check...". He picked up the remote and hoped that his rocket would successfully launch, "Things should be fine... Oh, this gotta go back". Reyven used his super sticky glue to install the missing part to the rocket but he did not notice that his feathers were stuck to the rocket. "Alright, we are ready for blast off... Waaaa!", Reyven pressed the red button on his remote and his rocket launched right to the sky. Reyven and his rocket then descended to the ground and flew past houses, over the roof, and over the couples. Meanwhile, the birds watched him fly until his rocket exploded. "Prepare for re-entry!", Reyven shouted. His back got caught on fire and fell out of the sky. He landed on the wooden statue of Mighty Eagle including the birds that freed the eggs from King Leonard, Unfortunately, it melted from Reyven's fire. "Ah help me I'm on fire!", Reyven yelled in agony. He looked desperate and see's a huge valentine cake on the table. He crashed into it and extinguished his burning back. Every bird in town circled around him and looked very angry. His father was embarrassed and looked away while other birds in the crowd shouted at Reyven, "Go home and never come back flyboy!". Judge Peckinpah then appeared out of the crowd he looked inflamed and told Reyven, "You are sentenced to the Senior Detention Centre. Be gone by tomorrow morning!", Reyven reacted quickly, "Your honor please..", "Leave!", The birds in the crowd roared. Reyven looked very impaired and walked back home. He sat on the dinner table facing towards his father, his father asked, "Why do you love flying so much?". Reyven replied in sadness, "Dad it's my dream to make birds fly", "You are in a real world son. This is reality, birds cant fly. You should find a new job.", his father implied. Reyven then stopped eating and looked at the old photograph beside him which appeared to himself at a young age and his mother. He opened his mouth and said, "I love flying because I can forget." "Forget what?" his father asked, "That I can forget since our mum left this world", Reyven responded in a mournful voice. Both Reyven and his father stayed quiet while his father felt regretful. "I'm sorry, dad I have to be ready for tomorrow. I'll be back home safely", Reyven apologized. He then leaves the dinner table and goes upstairs to pack his stuff.
