Chapter 6, The Flight of the Chuckerfly

Rosie looked up to see where the song of counting by two's was coming from. In the sky, she spotted a butterfly, but it was no ordinary butterfly. It was large, with purple and pink polkadotted wings, a green body, and it's head looked a lot like Chuckie's.

"Hi!" Called Rosie.

Startled, the butterfly flew down to the ground and hovered at Rosie's level.

"Uh, hi." Said the butterfly.

"My name is Rosie, and I'm new to Make Believe Land." Said Rosie.

"I'm Chuckie, but I'm known around here as a chuckerfly, that's a Chuckie and a butterfly all in one." Explained the chuckerfly.

"Oh wow! But, aren't you afraid of flying?" Rosie asked.

"Nope, I think flying is fun!" Said Chuckerfly.

Then it hit Rosie, that in this land, Chuckie must be fearless.

"So, can I do anything for you?" Chuckerfly went on to ask.

"Well, I've been trying to find a dust bunny. His name is Tommy, but seems he never has any time for me. Do you know him by chance?" Rosie asked.

"As a matter of fact, I do. I've known him for a long time, but seems as of late, he hasn't had much time for me. So he taught me this song about counting by two's to pass the time, and I've been passing the time, as I watch clouds make art in the sky, and have become a home to a family of blue birds. Apparently, my thick red hair makes a great place for a bird's nest." Said Chuckerfly.

"Well, I've always wanted to fly." Said Rosie with excitement.

"Ok, hop a bored!" Said Chuckerfly, as Rosie climbed on to his back, and Chuckerfly took off to the sky.

They flew for a long time, as Rosie looked up and saw a beautiful art show, as the clouds in the sky made a beautiful aray of pictures. It hit her that here in Make Believe Land, while back home, one had to imagine the clouds to appear as different objects in the sky, here, they actually appeared as different pictures and objects to everybody.

Soon though, Rosie's fun was interrupted, when some birds started pecking at the top of her head.

"Hey! What's the big idea?" Rosie asked.

"You're invading our home, get off." Snapped an angry blue bird.

"Excuse me, but while my friend here has been nicely providing you with a home, wouldn't you rather live in a tree, that's a bit more stationary, and not have to rely on this butterfly, I mean, Chuckerfly, for shelter?" Suggested Rosie.

The blue bird thought for a minute before answering.

"You know what? You're right! What was I thinking, using this Chuckerfly's red hair for my nest. My sincerest apologies for doing that, and to you Chuckerfly, I hope we can still be friends." Said the blue bird.

Chuckerfly smiled.

"I'd like that." Said Chuckerfly, before he flew off, carrying Rosie further into the forrest that made up Make Believe Land.

As they flew, Rosie started to hear some music.

"Hey! I hear some music! I'd like to see what it is." Said Rosie.

"Sure!" Said Chuckerfly, as he flew towards the ground.

Once he reached the ground, Rosie got off his back.

"Thank you for a lovely flight. That was wonderful!" Said Rosie.

"No, thank you." Said Chuckerfly.

"For what?" Rosie asked.

"For saving me. I was getting tired of being a home to a family of blue birds. Look at what your suggestion did." Said Chuckerfly, as he pointed to a nearby tree, where the family of blue birds, was building themselves, a bird house.

"Wow! I did that?" Rosie asked.

"Uh huh?" Said Chuckerfly.

"Well then, you're very welcome! May the rest of your days in flight, be free and fun!" Said Rosie.

"And before I go, I'd like to give you something, as a token of my appreciation. Here, have a Reptar bar. You never know when it might come in handy on your journey." Said Chuckerfly, as he handed Rosie the Reptar bar, and she put it into her dress pocket for safe keeping.

"Thank you so much Chuckerfly, thank you." Said Rosie, as she ran off into the forrest towards the sound of the music.

"Anytime Rosie, anytime." Said Chuckerfly, before he took off to the sky.

And this, ends chapter 6. So, what is the music that Rosie is hearing? We'll find out, in the next chapter, so please, do stay tuned!

Author's Note: If you've ever seen the Rugrats episode, Chuckerfly from season 6, or from season 5 if you're going by the DVD releases, had this been an actual Rugrats episode, Chuckie, the Chuckerfly would have appeared very similar to how he did in his daydream in that Rugrats episode.
