The Winds Of Change
Chapter 3: Flo
Meanwhile in the outskirts of town, the British goose Noris was taking a bath in a small pond, he hummed to himself as he scrubbed his feathers clean.
Noris paused when he thought he heard someone humming to themselves as well, but he ignored it and he resumed to clean himself.
"Hello." A female voice said.
Noris let out a startled shriek and spun around to see a young female goose.
"Oi! Can't you see that I'm taking a personal bath here!" The British goose growled.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you." The female goose said apologetically.
"Look I was just wondering if I could, join you?" She asked.
Noris was annoyed since he wanted some time for himself but telling this female goose "no" and to go away wouldn't be polite.
"Okay, fine be my guest." Noris said.
The female smiled and she then proceeded to scrub her feathers clean
"My name is Flo by the way." The female said introducing herself.
"You know, this is my first trip to Anchorage and I like it here so far." Flo added.
"Oh nice, glad that you're enjoying yourself here." Noris said.
"Thank you, so what's your name?" Flo asked.
"Noris, Noris Wingson V, but my friends just call me...Noris." Noris said introducing himself to Flo.
"Noris, hmmm that's a nice name." She said.
"So Noris where are you from, I can tell it's not from around here?" Flo asked.
"I've been living in Anchorage for my whole life, but I was born in the United Kingdom." Noris replied.
"Really, because you don't have an accent at all." Flo said sarcastically.
Noris raised an eyebrow at Flo, not liking her sarcasm.
"I was hoping I'd get to see the picturesque sites around here." Flo said getting closer to Noris.
"How about, later you can show me around this one-horse town?" Flo asked.
"I'll see if I can arrange that." Noris replied.
Then all of sudden Flo screamed and swiftly flew away leaving Noris completely puzzled for a second.
"Blimey, what was that all about?" Noris wondered to himself
Just then Noris heard the sound of playful laughter, he turned around to see the two polar bears Nut and Hut running straight towards him.
"Nut, Hut wait hold it!" Noris said terrified that Nut and Hut were going to run him over.
The two bears grabbed Noris and hugged him.
"Uncle Noris!" Nut gleefully cried.
"Enough! Enough! Put me down!" Noris muffled through the two bears fur.
Nut and Hut did what their "uncle" told them to do and they put Noris down.
"Uncle Noris, will you play us come on give it a go, please?" Nut asked in a playful pleading tone.
"Okay, fine what do you guys want to play?" Noris asked rather annoyed
Hut then got out of the water and positioned himself as if he was ready to jump back into the water.
Noris then realize what game Nut and Hut had in mind...
"NO, NO! NOT ANOTHER GAME OF SLOSH!" Noris screamed.
"Alright Hut on three, maximum velocity." Nut said to his bigger brother.
"One." Nut said as he began to countdown.
"No!" Noris said panicking.
"Two..." Nut said continuing to countdown.
"No, wait stop!" Noris cried as he began to back away
"THREE!" Nut exclaimed as he finished counting down.
Hut then jumped into the water nearly hitting Noris in the process making a huge splash, the splash sent Noris flying out of the pond and into the snow on dry land.
Nut and Hut began to hysterically crack up laughing.
That was the final straw for Noris.
"ENOUGH, ENOUGH, HOW MANY TIMES DID I TELL YOU TWO?! NO PLAYING SLOSH!!" Noris shouted at the top of his lungs.
Nut and Hut stopped laughing and stared at the British goose in a surprised manner they had never heard Noris shout at them like that before.
"B-But, wasn't that fun Uncle Noris?" Nut asked.
"FUN!? BIRTHDAY PARTIES ARE FUN, THAT WAS NOTHING BUT A PAIN IN THE BOTTOM!!" Noris shouted.
"I SAID 'NO!', YOU JUMPED ANYWAY, I SAID 'NO MORE' AND YOU DO MORE, I SWEAR DO YOU TWO HAVE ROCKS IN YOUR HEAD?!" He shouted.
Little did Noris know, Flo was watching Noris from a distance, she watched as Noris scold Nut and Hut.
"Man, He sure has some guts." Flo said to herself.
"NOW, GO AWAY AND DON'T EVER COME BACK HERE AND BOTHER ME EVER AGAIN!" Noris shouted.
Nut and Hut nodded and they slowly got out of the water and walked away.
Once Nut and Hut were out of sight, Noris sighed in relief and was about to get back in the water when Flo approached him.
"Wow, Noris I must say I'm impressed." She said.
"You are?" Noris asked.
"Well you must have had a lot of guts to stand up to those bears." Flo replied.
"Oh, you mean Nut and Hut? Oh, no they're nothing but..." Noris started to say but paused.
"I mean no, of course not what do Geese have to fear from bears? We're more smart and more bold." Noris said.
"And more cute." Flo added.
Noris couldn't help but nervously blush at what Flo said.
Flo then dropped a bomb.
"So, Noris, you want do some flying together, say around sunset?" Flo asked.
It took Noris a few seconds to realize what Flo was talking about.
"F-Fly with you?" He asked.
"Is that a yes or a no?" Flo said.
"Uh well...uhhhhh...well s-sure I guess." Noris replied stammering.
Flo giggled.
"Okay then Noris, see you then." Flo said before she turned around and flew away.
Once Flo flew away Noris fell on his back finding himself in a very tight situation.
"Oh, what have I done?" He asked himself.
A/N: Looks, like Noris isn't the only goose in town, and now I'm pretty sure you guys are thanking me that I didn't make Flo all weird and flirty like Stella was in the movie, but despite this I'm not gonna feature any Noris X Flo scenes because personally I feel that Boris and Stella's relationship was made the third Balto seem a bit weird and awkward.
And here's the character comparisons again:
Noris-Boris
Flo-Stella
Nut and Hut-Muk and Luk
And yeah Noris is British, I know I should have included that in the first two stories, why am I including now...don't ask. Anyway I'll you in Chapter 4! Drew out!
