Chapter 4: Sweet Apocalypse

Morning came and Blu, Jewel, and the kids woke up early to distribute all the fresh baked cookies to all the birds of the forest. Tiago tried his best to keep from laughing out loud in order to not reveal his secret. However Blu and Jewel were well aware of the prank, since they planted a hidden camera in the kitchen during the night, they saw the footage before Tiago came out of his birdhouse and smiled as the plan was going their way so far.

Bia and Carla were busy putting the cookies in baskets, while Blu and Jewel helped as well. Tiago came flying in, Bia and Carla giving him a glare.

"Alright, lets get these cookies to everyone." Tiago smiled happily.

"Listen son, you better behave and not pull any pranks." Blu reprimanded Tiago.

"Hey, I'll be with you guys all the time, so you can watch me." Tiago replied, acting all innocent.

"I hope you stick to your word." Blu said, not believing his son, but it was all part of the plan.

As everything was ready, the family flew out, to go hollow to hollow, giving out the cookies, that were now injected with the blue food coloring. As they went from tree to tree, every bird gave Tiago a stern glare, but it was of course all part of the act. Tiago saw all the looks of every bird and couldn't help but smile, but he controlled himself not to laugh. However, as the day went on, Tiago laughed and laughed more as the Blue macaw family gave out more and more cookies.

Eventually, all the cookies were given out and the Blue macaw family was tired and began flying back home. However, only Tiago seemed to notice how quiet the forest became as night started to fall, Blu, Jewel, Bia, and Carla pretending not to notice as they flew back home. Tiago decided to speak up for once.

"Doesn't anyone find it weird it's so quiet, it's never this quiet." Tiago spoke up, with a different tone of voice.

"They're probably all asleep from eating those cookies, son." Jewel informed Tiago.

"Yeah, or they're too busy enjoying them." Carla added in.

"Maybe you guys are right." Tiago replied and got an idea. "How about you guys go home, I'll catch up, I need to check on something."

Tiago flew in the opposite direction of home, to see if his prank was working or not. Blu and the rest of the family still continued on home, leaving Tiago to do his thing, as it was part of the plan. Tiago flew through the forest, looking around and not hearing anything, it was so quiet he could hear his own beating heart. The day became darker and darker with each passing minute as Tiago continued onward.

"Where is everyone?" Tiago questioned to himself. "They must have noticed their blue colored beaks by now."

Tiago looked in a hollow, after landing down on a branch. It was pretty dark inside so Tiago couldn't really see anything inside as he looked. After a quick search and not finding anyone, Tiago was really confused.

"Where is every bird?" Tiago wondered, as he turned his head around.

However, while Tiago turned his head around, the shadow of a macaw walking in the hollow could be seen. The macaw was walking slowly, like he was sick or something, Tiago never noticed the macaw as he decided to go see his Uncle Rafael to check on him.

As Tiago made his way to Rafael, he actually started to get a little scared and creeped out as to how quiet it was. Tiago found his Uncle Rafael's hollow, but not in the way it usually was, for there would be the many noises of seventeen chicks making trouble for their parents. Tiago flew in and looked around, seeing no one, until he saw his Uncle Rafael with his back turned to him. Rafael was munching down on a cookie as Tiago slowly walked up to him.

"Uncle Rafi?" Tiago said. "Are you okay?"

As Tiago got closer, Rafael turned around, the blue food coloring on his beak as the prank worked, but Rafael seemed different and strange, his feathers were messed up and his eyes looked darker as he stared hungrily at Tiago.

"Uncle Rafi?" Tiago questioned, becoming more scared.

"Cookie…" Was all Rafael said in a deep tone of voice as he turned around completely and started walking slowly towards the Blue macaw chick.

Tiago walked backward in fear until he bumped into another bird. He looked up to see his Aunt Eva with the same look as Rafael, the same hungry look in her eyes as she stared down at the Blue chick.

"Cookie…" Eva said as she walked froward while Tiago backed away from her, the chick getting caught in the middle.

Then, out of the shadows, came the seventeen chicks, all with Blue food coloring on their beaks as they were as mindless as their parents, coming at Tiago at the same speed as their parents.

"Cookie…" The seventeen chicks said at once.

Tiago was completely terrified now as he flew as quickly away in the one direction that was not blocked, sweating and panting as he flew back home to warn his family. As he flew, he now saw all the mindless cookie hungry birds roaming about in the forest.

Tiago was so scared as a couple of macaw blocked his way, the same as everyone else. Tiago quickly dodged them as he bolted towards home, determined to not become one of them. Tiago was so confused, he couldn't imagine his harmless prank turning every bird into zombies, but something must have been rotten in that food coloring to make the birds that way.

Meanwhile, Blu and the rest of the family, minus Tiago, finally got home and Blu just opened the window. Jewel turned to Bia and Carla with a smile to thank the two girls for their hard work.

"Well, you two did a wonderful job, I think it's time for a little celebration." Jewel said to the happy smiles of Bia and Carla.

"Yeah, we still got a few cookies here, might as well eat them." Blu added in.

However Tiago came in before his sisters could take a cookie, surprising the family.

"Don't eat these!" Tiago shouted.

"Now Tiago, there is plenty for you too, no need to be so rough." Jewel said sternly.

"Come on, we got to get out of here!" Tiago shouted, ignoring his mother.

"Why?" Carla replied, confused, but only pretending to be so.

Before Tiago could reply, a horde of zombified birds were flying at them, all moaning the same word, "Cookie…"

"We need to get away from them!" Tiago yelled in fright.

"What's going on?" Bia said as she stared at the horde of birds.

"No time to explain, lets go!" Tiago shouted and he flew towards the city, his family following him.

The Blue macaw family flew to Nico and Pedro's Samba Club, while all the zombified birds followed them slowly. It was truly a zombie bird apocalypse now…

I bet you guys can't wait to see Tiago's face when he gets pranked!

Because next chapter is the last for this short story!
