Crazy trouble with love part 6

Gabi and Nigel

Series: Rio

xxxxxxxxxxxx

"Ugh, I can't believe I'm back in this wretched, filthy excuse of a city again." Nigel said with a frown as he looked out the window of the van he was in. "To think a bird of my caliber would be surrounded by tasteless buildings of metal instead of the lush and vast jungle."

"Well, look on the bright side, at least we're together." Said Gabi as she clung to the top of his head happily.

He let out a groan while the two of them were in a cage and riding in a van, which was bing driven by Linda and Tulio after finding the two of them. "If you hadn't been acting like a lovesick fool over me we'd still be in the jungle because those two humans wouldn't have found us!"

"But look on the bright side, this is our honeymoon." She smiled rubbing against his cheek.

"To have a honeymoon we have to be married, and we are not." He said with a frown. "And get off of my head!"

"Ok." She slid down and clung onto his back. "Better?"

"No, because you're still on me." He sighed with a frown. "Why are you so obsessed over me, couldn't you go find a nice lizard or something?"

"Well are there any lizards in here?" She smiled.

"No, but that's not the point." He said in annoyance.

"Then I can give you all my love!" She beamed hugging him with hearts rising from her head as he shook his head before they felt the van slowly stop.

"We're here, and hopefully they will put us in different cages too." He said as he heard the driver and passenger doors open and close.

Linda and Tulio opened the back doors and smiled while Tulio picked the cage up as Linda shut them. "Have a nice ride you two?"

"No, I had an amphibian on my head the entire time." He squacked futily, knowing that they couldn't understand him.

"Really? Who?" Asked Gabi with a giggle while the humans carried them to a building.

"Gee, I wonder who." He remarked dryly.

"Let's get you two love birds into your new home, until we're confident you can survive in the wild you'll be living in our house in our research center." Said Tulio with a smile.

"When I get out of here I'm going to peck your eyes out." Remarked Nigel with a frown as all four of them entered the building with numerous shelves of books as Tulio walked them over to a glass tank, set the cage down, and slowly opened the door. "Ugh, you're going to make us live in there? I refuse." He said with a frown.

"Aw come on honey, it looks nice and comfy." Smiled Gabi getting off him and walking out while being carefully picked up and set in it while she jumped in the water. "The water's cool too!"

"Well, I doubt I'll be swimming a lot in there." He said with a frown as he refused to come out of the cage.

"Seems like he's gonna be tricky." Remarked Tulio who held his hand in. "Come on little guy, no need to be-YEOW!" He pulled his hand out after Nigel bit it and hissed while waving it away. "Ooh, yeah I think he's not gonna wanna leave."

"Well, I guess we'll have to get some gloves and make him move, I think his girlfriend is getting impatient." Linda said with a frown as she saw Gabi pressing her face against the glass.

"I'd like to see you try woman." He sneered before closing the door.

"Well, we could just put the cage in the bigger one, and have him walk out on his own."

"Or," Linda smiled. "We make a new cage that connects the cage to the tank and that way they both have their spaces if they wanna spend some time apart."

"You're implying we're mates!" He squawked out in annoyance.

"They're not wrong~." Gabi called with a smile, making him groan.

"Well making something like that will take time, but if we start tonight it might be ready."

"I'll get some blueprints drawn up."

Nigel crossed his wings while turning his back to them and Gabi. 'Annoying.'

(Later)

"There...it took all night, but we finally got it." Said Tulio as he stared at the plastic pipe that connected the two cages. "Once I open the doors they will be together again."

"Plus with the pipes they can enter each other's domain without trouble." Smiled Linda while Nigel scowled.

"I stand corrected, when I get out of here I shall peck BOTH of your eyes humans!"

"Hurry up and open the door! I need my Nigel!" Gabi said as she looked at the bird desperately.

"I swear humans, don't you dare-"

"Here we go." Tulio said as he opened the door.

"NIGEL!" Gabi squealed happily as she charged towards the bird.

He went wide eyed before flapping his wings and got up to the top of his cage, but saw Gabi easily jump between the sides of the oval shaped part before landing on his chest.

"I'm so happy to be with you again! I don't even want to leave your side again!" She said as he groaned.

"We were a few feet from each other."

"But it was for so loooong!"

"It was two, three hours tops."

"Then we gotta fill up that time while sticking together." She sighed while making herself cozy on his chest.

"Aw, that's adorable." Smiled Linda with Tulio nodding. "We better give them some alone time."

"What? NO! Don't leave me alone with her!" He squawked. He saw them walk away and cawed out while trying to scratch at the glass cage. "Anything but this!"

"Did you hear that Nigel, we get a new home and time together, this is the best day ever!" She said happily as Tulio and Linda waved them goodbye as they left the room. "Best honeymoon ever. Wait a second...this is more of us getting a permanent home!"

"No it is not." He shook his head. "Once I get out of here I am going to be free to get my revenge, and you can do...whatever you want."

"Well, I want to be with you! And I like it in here, we have food, water, space, and each other." She said as she snuggled closer to him.

He facewinged. "How is a cage meant for a bird?"

"Well...it gives you a chance to work out your talons." She smiled getting off and giving them a feel. "Think of it as a chance to get the biggest muscles out of any bird around, but with your legs."

"Thank you Gabi, that makes me feel so much better." He remarked sarcastically.

"You're welcome honey!" She said with a smile.

"I am surrounded by idiots."

(Timeskip)

Nigel paced in his cage while looking around for something to hit against the wall with Gabi currently napping on a lilypad in the tank. 'At least she isn't clinging to me right now, so that's a plus.'

That's when he spotted his food dish and wasn't full, meaning it would be easy to lift up.

'Finally, fate has smiles upon me.' He thought as he picked it up and began to waddle towards the side. He raised his talon with it and swung it to the side, only for it to bounce off without making a scratch. 'Damn it, did they make this out of plastic or reinforced glass? This will make escape much much harder.'

He went about it with the same thing, pick up dish, hit it against glass, go and grab it again, rinse and repeat.

Of course what he didn't realize was the sound he made when he hit the glass with it slowly stirred Gabi from her sleep.

"Ugh...uh...Nigel?" She groaned as her eyes began to open. She stretched her legs out and made her way to one of the pipes and climbed up it before poking her in Nigel's cage with said bird getting irritated. "Whatcha doin'?"

"Trying to escape this damned cage, I must get my revenge!"

"Oh!" She watched him continue for a few more times. "Actually, we can get out through the door."

"...What?" He asked as he dropped the dish.

"Yeah, it'd be much easier."

"Oh?" He raised an eyebrow. "And how, pray tell, do you expect us to do that if this whole infernal tank is locked?!"

She smirked while holding up a key. "I snatched it when they weren't looking."

"What? Brilliant! Then let's leave!" He said as he reached for the key only for her to pull it away.

"Wait, who said anything about us leaving now?" She asked with another smirk. "I said using the door would be easier, but I never said we were leaving."

"Gabi...give me the key." He said as he tried to grab it, only for her to jump away from him.

"No, I don't want to leave, it's my turn!" She smirked before jumping down the pipe to her tank.

"Gabi!" He hollered before following through the pipe which made him have to use his talons and had to carefully turn before landing down on some of the land in her tank and looked around. "Where did she go?"

"Like I said Nigel, I don't want to go, and it's my turn to decide! Last time I followed your wishes in the amazon, now it's your turn to listen to me!" Her voice echoed.

He growled before taking a deep breath and smiled. "My dear Gabi, I merely wished for us to leave so we may….uh...go on a date."

"We can go on one in here!"

He tried to stay calm, albeit with difficulty, and cleared his throat. "But what sort of date is it in a confining little cage?"

"One where you can't try and fly away."

"But my dear, sweet Gabi, wouldn't it be more romantic if I flew us over Rio?' 'And besides, I can't fly well anymore.'

"...How do I know you won't try to run away?"

"Well...do you really think I would?"

"Yes."

He groaned and rubbed his head. "What if I promise I won't?"

"Then how do I know you aren't lying to me?"

"I promise I won't try to run away, cross my heart and hope to die." He said as he crossed two of his feathers behind his back. "Now, please give me the key Gabi."

"...ok!" She called before popping up out of the water and held it up. "But I'm sticking extra close to you."

"Fine, just...give me...the key…" He said as he stared at it desperately.

"Sure." She tossed it to him before hopping out as he caught it.

"Thank you...and goodbye!" He quickly flew back up into the pipe and started to quickly climb while Gabi narrowed her eyes.

"Oh, you done messed up!" She called before following after him.

"Soon I'll be free, free! I can get my revenge AND get away from that love crazy amphibian!" he quickly ran to his cage and started to fumble with the key as he tried unlocking it with the awkwardness that was wings. "Come on, come on!"

"NIGEL!"

"Come on, she's getting closer…" He grumbled as he fumbled with the key as Gabi got closer and closer. Just as she got to the cage the door clicked and swung open before he flew out. "Ha! Freedom!"

"Nooooo!" She screamed as she lunged at him, managing to land on him right before he could take flight and escape.

"Get off!" He spoke while trying to get out, but got halted when her tongue lashed out and grabbed the other end of the glass and began to use it to pull him back. "No! What are you doing?" He asked as he tried to keep flying, mentally cursing that he couldn't fly as well.

She shook her head and pulled harder while using her hands to help as she gave a strong tongue backwards and got off him before using her tongue to grab the door and slam it shut. She then grabbed the key and swallowed it.

"Noooo! You fool, that was my way out!" he frowned before ending up tackled on his back and looking at an angry Gabi in the eyes.

"Listen closely!" She narrowed her eyes. "In here, I call the shots, not you! So when I say no leaving, that means no leaving! If I say we cuddle, we cuddle! And if I say to let me kiss you, you better let me do it on every part of your feathery butt! Got it?"

"And what if I refuse and say no?" He asked defiantly, trying not to show that he was a bit freaked out by her.

She slowly gave a dark grin. "Ever heard the term tough love?"

"...yes?" He said nervously. "So...what shall we do first Gabi?"

She smiled like before. "Simple, we cuddle, and then I'll smother your face with kisses."

"...Ok, fine." He said as she squealed happily.

"Thanks Nigel!" She hugged his chest and cuddled against it while he sighed.

'Just perfect.'

(Later)

Gabi hummed while looking up at Nigel's cage and saw him slowly nodding off to sleep. 'Just gotta wait till he's out.' She thought as she watched his eyes slowly close before shutting completely. She then waited ten minutes before she started to hear light snoring. She smiled and pulled the key out from under a rock and swam over to a second door, opened it up, and hopped out while also locking it behind her. 'Finally, I thought he'd never go to sleep.' She thought happily.

She hopped over to the front door, and with her dexterity and skills, managed to unlock it and hop out of the store and over to the pet store just next door with a small hole in the side of it. She easily slid through the hole and looked around the store with a smile. She saw the lights were out and most of the pets sleeping, but that didn't stop her from hopping down the reptile aisle.

"I hope she's awake at this time." She muttered as she passed several tanks before stopping at a large one. She hopped over and had to climb on from a few other tanks before reaching it and gave a slight knock on it. "Yo girl, you awake?"

"Ugh...Gabi? Is that you?" Groaned a female voice as a large brown python slowly opened it's eyes and gave a yawn while rubbing one of it's eyes. "Wow, what time is it? I figured you were gonna stop in sooner than this."

"Sorry, but Nigel just wouldn't fall asleep, ya know?" Remarked the frog while the snake was fully awake. "So how you been Sarah?"

Yup, ever since they got a new home Gabi had discovered a hole to this store, and made friends with Sarah since it never hurt to have a few friends who were girls, and considering the python at the time nearly ate her, it gave them an ice breaker before getting to talking.

"Eh, it's been kind of ok, a couple of kids came in to stare, but no one seems to want to buy me, I guess I'm just too much snake for them." She smirked while Gabi rolled her eyes. "So, how's your boy Nigel been doing?"

"He's been kind of cold to me recently, I think it's because I won't let him escape or run away."

"Girl, that's natural, sometimes you gotta be firm and cold to get the point across. Just look at me, me and my old fling Roger had a great one where I had him wrapped up all the time and we were the best couple around."

"But didn't you eat him?"

"Like I said, WERE." She clarified while a small part of her body seemed to twitch. "Go back to sleep Roger!"

"But I don't want him to hate me, I just want him to stick around."

"Well girl, one thing I learned from seeing them gerbils over there, is that cuddling and rubbing against each other seems to work."

"But I've been doing it constantly, but he just acts annoyed! I show him my love, but he just keeps acting cold, I think it's because he's never been loved before and doesn't know how to express it but...what do you think?"

"Well he's a bird so holdin' him in you ain't gonna cut it." She remarked. "Well, maybe get him some gift, I heard if a girl is firm but still shows she cares, the guy's less likely to run off and leave ya."

"Like your first mate." Remarked an iguana in the next tank over.

"Shut up Gerald, before I eat you ya jackass." She hissed angrily. "But yeah, try giving him something to show you care."

"Hmmm," Gabi rubbed her chin while looking around the pet store before spotting something and got an idea. "That's perfect! Thanks Sarah, see ya tomorrow." Before hopping down the shelf.

"Poor deluded girl, following your advice." Sighed Gerald.

"That's it, Roger's getting company!" She hissed angrily.

(Later)

"He's gonna love this!" She gushed while carrying the object into the tank and up the pipe before setting it down in his cage before heading back down to her tank and locked the door. She then turned around and stared at his cage excitably, waiting for him to wake up. After a couple of minutes he began to stir, much to her excitement.

"Ugh...mmm…" He rubbed his eyes before slowly looking at the blue object and went wide eyed. "YOU!" He cried as he stared at a blue, plastic bird that looked like a certain macaw.

"Suprise!" Smiled Gabi making him jump. "I got you a gift!"

"You got me this...this...reminder of my failures?!" He shouted as he stared at the toy angrily.

"No, of course not." She chuckled. "I got it for you to help take all your anger and aggression out on."

"...Well, I will certainly be doing that." He said before he attacked the toy with all his might as Gabi smiled.

"Aw, he likes it, my gift worked!" She smiled while seeing him tear into it with his beak, talons, and even toss it against the glass over and over. "I definitely deserve cuddle time later~." She said with an even bigger smile.

(Later)

Nigel was currently snoring after going nuts on the plastic bird while slightly feeling something move and brush up against him. 'Huh, I guess Gabi has decided to sleep with me again...damn.'

"Mmm, your feathers are so soft."

"Yes...now go sleep on your lily pad." He mumbled as he tried to push her away.

She held onto him tighter and shook her head. "Nuh uh, it's cuddle time."

"Ugh….now? Can't this wait until later?" He groaned.

"No, I earned this time, now shut up and cuddle with me handsome."

He sighed and reluctantly let her while closing his eyes. 'Fine, it's not like she'll leave anyway.' He thought as she mentally cheered, thinking that he was agreeing with her.

(Three days later)

"Hey you two." Smiled Linda walking over to the cage and tank with a clipboard. "Sleep well?"

"No, she climbed on my head while I was sleeping." He said in annoyance.

"But I just wanted to be closer to you."

"Well today we're gonna be doing some studies. And by we I mean me, but you two go ahead and do your stuff." She sat down. "I'm just gonna be observing while taking notes."

"Ugh, if being stuck in here wasn't bad enough, now we're going to be studied like lab rats. Oh, the humiliation." He groaned.

"Aw come on Nigel, maybe she'll take pictures too. Ooh ooh! We could work on our own poses." Smirked Gabi getting off and tried making herself crouch like a cougar. "I like to call this my wi-ld side."

"The only wild thing about you is your irrational affection for me." He snorted as he began to move back towards his cage.

"Hmm, treefrog, who I will dub Cindy, seems eager to be observed, while the sulphur-crested cockatoo, who I am going to refer to as Carl, is the opposite." Muttered Linda jotting that down.

"Carl? How dare you call me by such a common and stupid name, it's Nigel, not Carl!" He grumbled angrily.

"Oh don't let her ruffle your feathers." Smiled Gabi while laying on her back with her head back and tongue out. "I call this one oh sweet frog."

"If only." He grumbled.

"It seems that Cindy seems to act very energetic and odd, perhaps she has a brain disease that makes her act like this, resulting in her increased affection to Carl?"

"That I can actually agree with." He remarked while eating from his food dish.

"Hey, I don't have a brain disease!...probably." She said before lying flat on the ground with her arms and legs next to her body. "And I call this one the slithering snake."

"What's next, a poodle?" Asked Nigel while taking a drink from his water dish.

"How'd you know?" She asked in surprise.

"I am surrounded by idiots." He groaned again.

She stuck her tongue out and tried jumping around like a bark while even making sounds like one.

"It seems that Cindy is acting more erratic, if this keeps up I might consider sending her to another lab to have her checked over for diseases." Linda said, making the pink amphibian stop dead in her tracks.

"No! Please don't take me from Nigel! I'll stop I'll stop!"

"No, no, keep it up, better to get a quick check up, right?" He said excitedly.

She stopped and stayed still while letting out a croak like her species.

"Huh...it seems like she stopped...is she able to understand me? Probably not, but I will consider this in the future." She jotted it down while looking at Nigel. "And Carl is going about this observation rather natural."

"Yes, because I am not a foolish frog you twit." He said with a frown. "Now bring me your blue bird so I can kill him!"

All she heard was squawking though and jotted down while he flapped his wings around. "Huh, he seems agitated for some reason, perhaps he doesn't like to be watched, or he wants some time alone with his 'friend'?"

"No!" He spoke while Gabi smiled. "Stay there and keep watching us! Go right ahead, I won't even badmouth that...bird."

"Huh, more agitated behavior...I guess that's enough for today, perhaps I should install a video camera so I don't have to stay and agitate him?" She said as she started to get up.

"Wait wait! I'll even do stupid tricks, just don't leave me with her!"

"See you two lovebirds tomorrow." She said with a smile as she shut the door behind her.

He facewinged again while Gabi sighed with relief.

"Phew, that was a close one. For a second there I might have been in some bigger tank with all sorts of weird frogs."

"I can assure you that you are definitely the weirdest frog on this planet."

"Aw, thanks honey."

"It wasn't a compliment!"

(Timeskip)

We show Nigel eating from his bowl as Gabi watched him as she prepared to lunge at him. "Don't do it."

"What? I wasn't gonna do anything." She put her hands behind her back while smiling innocently.

"I know you're planning something, it's been hours since you last jumped on me, so you must be dying to do it again, right?" He asked with a frown.

"...maybe?" She spoke looking to the side.

"Well don't, I'm tired from last night and need a nap." He yawned. "You're free to go about and leave the cage if you want, but I need my beauty sleep."

"Well...then I'll just sleep with you." She said as she began to approach him.

"No, you stay on that side." He spoke using his talon to make a line on his cage and got on his pole before closing his eyes. "And don't cross it."

"But why? I need my Nigel!" she whined. "Besides, I'm in charge here, remember?"

"Have you ever seen me when I don't get enough rest?"

"...fair point, but why can't I sleep with you? I promise not to move and to be quiet."

"Because I wish to experience the sensation of slumber by myself."

"Awwww, really, come on, please?" She begged. She saw him go still and slumped before moving down the pipe and went to her tank to get out of there. 'Not fair.' She thought as we cut to Nigel.

'Finally, peace at last, as fleeting as it might be, it is nice to finally sleep alone, to not hear her senseless talk as I try to sleep.' He thought while relaxing and tried to slowly drift off to slumber.

After twenty minutes though he was still awake.

'Damn, why can't I fall asleep? I have my peace, my quiet, what else is missing?' He thought before looking at the plastic bird. "Perhaps I have too much energy and need to tire myself out, and I know just the way." He said before he threw himself at the bird and began to attack it.

After ten minutes he backed away, now exhausted from his fight with the toy. "There...now I can sleep." He went to close his eyes and felt a little better….but after twenty minutes he still couldn't go back to sleep. "Blast, why can't I sleep?" He groaned in annoyance. "I never had this problem before…"

He rubbed his chin and looked around while seeing the tank empty but him. 'Am I so use to her company I can't sleep without her bugging me?' He thought, not wanting to accept the idea. 'Should...should I let her sleep with me so I can go to sleep?'

He quickly shook her head at that logic. "Preposterous! I'm fine just how I am." He looked at her tank and realized something. 'It shouldn't take her this long just to go on some walk.' He thought as he got up. 'Has that crazy frog gotten in trouble?'

He crawled down the pipe and into her tank while noting the door was still unlocked. "Wait...this is it...my chance to escape!" He rushed out and started flapping his wings to carry him up the stairs with a grin. "Yes, fresh air, open skies, no Gabi, freedom here I come!" He cackled happily.

He slowly reached the door and had to try and turn the knob with his talons, but after that he flew out and looked around for the front door. 'Now, where is the door, I have to find it before she gets back! I won't go back into damn cage!'

He managed to get himself over to the door and tried turning it, but found it was locked and wouldn't budge. "DAMN IT! I'm so close yet so far away!" He shouted as he kept trying to open the door. "I can't go back to the cage with that crazy frog!"

"AHHHHHH!" Came a loud scream from outside one of the open windows.

"Gabi? Wait, a window!" He said as he flew towards the open window and looked out. He looked around and took in the fresh air before hearing a barking sound followed by the frog's scream. "Did that idiot manage to piss off a dog?" He said as he began to fly out of it, heading towards her screams.

He looked around while hearing the barking getting closer before seeing a pitbull round the corner with Gabi running ahead of it with terror on her face.

"Nigel, anyone, help me!" She cried as she barely dodged the dog's teeth.

"She has." He sighed while seeing them run under him as he kept flapping his wings. "Oh well, not my problem now." He said as he began to fly away before hearing her scream again, making him stop. "She does sound to be in g-NO! Do not worry about that frog! This is my chance for complete freedom, just ignore that amphibian." He said as he tried to keep himself from looking back.

Gabi kept running before spotting Nigel in the sky. "Nigel, my love! Please, help me!"

He closed his eyes while hearing her let out a squeak when the pitbull almost ate her and saw the dog chase her into an alley. 'Not your problem, not your problem, just turn and start flapping.'

"Please, help me! I promise not to be annoying, I promise to give you space, but please, help me!"

'Not your problem, not your problem.' He thought while seeing the frog get cornered and noted the dog seemed to be foaming at the mouth, unnerving him. 'Wait, does that canine have rabies?'

"C-Come on doggy, can't we talk this out?" Gulped Gabi backing up to the end of the alley.

"Nope, you're lunch little froggy!" It said as it got closer as Nigel stopped flying away.

He sighed and shook his head. "I can't believe I'm doing this." Before turning and flying down near the dog and tapped it on the head with one talon. "Pardon me."

"Eh? What do you want feather brain?" The dog asked as it looked up at the white bird.

"I hate pointless squabbles, but I suggest you leave this frog alone."

"Or what?" It asked with a growl.

"Or I'll have to ask you to leave." He spoke while puffing out his chest. "Do you know who I-"

"You look like dinner!" He growled before jumping up and aiming his teeth toward Nigel.

"Woah!" He quickly evaded while flying above him. "You sickening mutt! I'll make you regret that."

"Try it ya overgrown pidgeon!" He barked before turning to Gabi. "But first, an appetizer!"

"Nigel, help me!" She cried in fear as the dog tried to bite her.

Said bird narrowed his eyes and dove down before landing on the dog's head and started pecking at it's face.

"Ow, hey, get off!" He said as he tried to bite Nigel.

"Feel my wrath you street mutt!" Cawed Nigel while pecking harder and holding onto his head with his talons.

"Nigel…" Gabi said as she watched in amazement as hearts surrounded her vision. "You're saving me...I knew you cared!"

Said bird didn't hear her and kept hanging on as the dog started to thrash around from the pecking. "Fear the almighty power of I, Nigel!" He laughed before the dog ran into a trash can, causing the lid to fall off and hit Nigel. "Owww….goodnight…" He said as he lost his grip and began to fall unconscious.

Gabi gasped as the bird fell down while the dog turned and snarled at him. "Nigel!"

"Time for dinner birdie!" Said the dog as it opened its mouth to bite him, only for Gabi to jump onto his face. "Hey! Get off me!"

"How dare you hurt my Nigel!" She shouted as she shot her tongue into his eye. It stuck while he yelped and shook his head while she went flying around with her tongue hanging on. "Bleh!"

"Get your tongue out of my eye!"

"I will if you leave!"

"Fine! No meal is worth this much work!" He growled as she unstuck her tongue and landed away while he ran off and out of the alley.

"There we did it Nigel...Nigel?" She said before looking at the unconscious bird. She jumped and hopped over before shaking him. "Nigel!"

"Huh….wha...what's happening?" He groaned. He rubbed his head and looked around. "Where's that infernal canine?"

"I chased him off my love!" She said as she snuggled against him happily. "But not before you tried to save me! That was sooo cool!"

He sighed seeing her cuddle against him, but didn't make her get off him. "Well all that yelling was getting on my nerves."

"Well, either way I'm so happy! This is proof that you do love me too!" She said as he rolled his eyes and began to flap his wings.

"Don't get the wrong idea, I just happened to be flying by." He spoke while carrying her up while leaving the alley. "And because I couldn't get any sleep."

"Well, we could head back to the cage and get some together if you want." She suggested happily.

He wanted to say no, but he found himself sighing while going back to the building. "Fine, if only to cease your constant voice."

"Yay!" she said as they entered and he began to fly towards the cage.

'Perhaps this won't be as bad as I thought.'
