Nick and Peter were going over how they wanted the flight training scene to be done, acting out how they want the chickens to copy Rocky and such. Ginger was sweating bullets due to being in a secret relationship with Rocky, but she couldn't deny how they felt being around each other. She just hoped no one found out until the movie was finished
"Are you ready, doll face?" Rocky whispers
"Hm? Oh, yes. I'm ready or at least I think I am." Ginger replies
Nobby had snuck onto set, watching them from a distance. He knew about his sister and Rocky, having seen them from the night before sharing affection. He didn't like seeing this bird brain with his sister so he had a plan to tell Nick and Peter about their relationship. Nobby knew Ginger wouldn't like it but he was only doing what felt right by protecting her. It took forever for Nobby's plan to set into place due to the men being busy with the others while filming for a few hours. Then, it was time to pounce when they dismissed the birds for a small break
Ginger joined Rocky to get some water, Bunty having a funny feeling about them.
"You ok, sweetheart?" Rocky glances at his girlfriend, picking up a cup and taking a sip of water
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me." Ginger also picks up a cup
Nobby waltzed over, a sly grin on his face
"Hey Nobster. How did you get here? I thought they didn't allow turkeys backstage." Rocky teases him
"I have ways, Rocket. I also know you're dating my sister." Nobby narrows his eyes, Rocky choking on a bit of water
"How do you know?!" Ginger lowers her voice
"You know, you should really be careful where you kiss each other in public or everyone will see you." The rooster with an overbite laughs. "I can't wait to tell Peter and Nick!"
"You better not!" Ginger warns her brother
"Well, you are breaking your contract." Nobby shrugs
Rocky puts down his cup of water and stood in front of Ginger, ruffling his feathers. "If you know what's good for you, you'd leave us be. I don't want you to hurt Ginger. Got it?"
Nobby holds up his wings and backs away. "Take it easy, I was only joking." He laughs nervously, Rocky taking a few steps forward
"Break time is over!" Peter shouts
Ginger and Rocky hurry back to the set to finish up with the flight training scene, Bunty and her other friends joining them along with the rest of the chickens
Bunty, Mac, Babs and Ginger were sore for the rest of the day, doing their own stunts over and over again since those so called directors weren't pleased with their first few performances. Flight training was a very painful activity!
"Gather around! We have news about tomorrow." Nick calls over the chickens
"More scenes tomorrow? Don't tell me we're doing more." Mac begs, rubbing her hips
Fowler mutters to himself about the hens
"No, no. Tomorrow you'll all be interviewed by several different people who want to ask questions about the movie as well as have a photo shoot for images we can put on projects." Peter tells them the exciting news
"How lovely!" Babs said
"Interviews? Great..." Rocky sulks. Sometimes humans got on his nerves with certain questions
"Why back in my day, we never had strangers ask us random questions." Fowler starts, groans coming from his co stars
"Be here bright and early." Nick said
The gang returned to their hits, discussing what kind of questions they might be asked and if they should mess with the pesky humans a bit
Nobby walked up to Nick and Peter, surprised to see the short rooster. "Didn't you catch your flight?"
"I was ten minutes late. Listen, I have some information you need to know about. Ginger-" Rocky rushed over and clamped his beak shut
"He wants it to be quick so it won't be hard on Ginger. You happen to have a private jet or something?" He finished Nobby's sentence
"Oh! We'll see what we can do." Peter nods
Rocky hurried off with Nobby, Ginger going after them. Nobby had some nerve trying to spill her secret with Rocky!
Nobby pushes Rocky's wing off of his short beak. "What's the big idea?!"
"I could ask you the same thing, egg head!" Rocky snaps
"I can't believe you were going to tell them about us!" Ginger marches over
Nobby folds his wings and refused to look at his sister
"Why can't you stop taking out your frustration on us?!" Ginger asked
When he refused to talk to Ginger, the British hen walked away. She was very upset that her little brother was trying to ruin a happy moment in her life. She moped around in the privacy of her hut, regretting even listening to Nick and Peter about spending time with Rocky
There was a knock on the hut door. She got out of her nest and walked to the door, opening it
"Hey. Can I come in?" Rocky asked
Ginger nods and moved aside, closing the door once he was inside
"I shouldn't have listened to them." She said
"What do you mean?" Rocky turns around to face her
"Peter and Nick. They wanted me to get into character by hanging out with you and I regret it. We wouldn't be in this situation if I didn't listen to them." Ginger paces back and forth
"Hey, hey. It's going to be ok. I'm glad we got to know each other and I wouldn't ever regret having you as my girlfriend considering we're breaking our contracts." Rocky approaches the hen and hugs her
Ginger returns the hug and rests her head against his chest, closing her eyes and listening to his heartbeat
Rocky gently rubs her back, the two staying like this for what felt like hours. Everything felt better when they were in the safety of each other's wings. What would happen if their secret was finally out in the open? What would it mean for the love birds if they couldn't be with each other?
I hope you guys are enjoying the story. Will Peter and Nick find out about Ginger and Rocky?
