It was another day at the barnyard however Otis and the gang were unable to do their regular scheduled fun because all day the farmer had been working on something in one of the stalls. All day the farmer had been removing wood floor boards and putting in wooden walls for some reason, in which the animals all observed what he was doing from behind some bales of hay.
Duke: the farmer's been at this all day I wonder what he's up to
Abby: well, it's clear he's changing up the stall
Otis: yeah but what could it be…oh I know it's a new disco room
Pip: or it's a stall for a new animal
Freddy: maybe it's a bowling alley
Pip: or it's a stall for a new animal
Peck: perhaps a library
Pip: or it's a stall for a new animal
Pig: I say it's a kitchen this barn deserves one
Pip: guys it's clearly a stall for a new animal
Otis: pip please be serious, what the farmer is currently building is a new stall for a new barnyard animal (everyone except pip agrees with Otis)
Freddy: wow Otis your smart
Peck: yeah what a truly brilliant idea
Pip: HEY
Abby: if it's true then he's sure going through an awful lot of work for a new animal
Soon enough the farmer finishes up whatever he's building and leaves the barn allowing the other animals the inspect what he was building. When they got saw it closer they noticed the stall was three times as tall as the other stalls and that the feeding trough.
Pig: Otis was right he was building a new stall
Pip: I SAID THAT
Otis: the question is who is in the world would need a stall this big
Peck: and why is the trough so high up
Duke: well, whoever it is must be really tall
Freddy: ooh perhaps it's the rare long-legged frog
They all look at Freddy really confused like.
Freddy: what, they're real…
They were all interrupted when they heard the sound of a large vehicle, they all peek their heads out the barn door to see what it is and to their surprise it was a semi-truck that had the word zoo on it also the driver that got out seemed to look exactly like the farmer but was dressed up like a zookeeper.
Freddy: oh no the Farmer's getting replaced
Duke: no, you idiot that's the farmer's twin brother the Zookeeper I met him at the last family reunion
Abby: what's he doing here then this is a farm not a zoo
Otis: eh he's probably just here to see his brother, no need for alarm let's head back inside
The animals go back inside the barn thinking nothing was going to happen.
As the farmer walks out his house he sees the zookeeper and greets his brother with a warm and huge hug.
Farmer: nice to see you twin brother
Zookeeper: nice to see you too twin brother, now I really appreciate you for taking in Jack because I've tried everything and this is really the only place he can live, and everyone else that'll take him will want to have him stuffed or worse
Farmer: oh, don't you worry brother I'll take very good care of him like the rest of the animals, not to mention he'll apple picking a lot easier, and I've already got a nice stall set up for him which'll be perfect
Zookeeper: okay I'll go unload him from the truck
Meanwhile in the barn the animals overhear the farmer and the zookeeper talking and that they're getting closer so they all pretend to be mindless creatures as they open the door. They open the doors wide open to all the animals' surprise they all see the two escort a 15ft tall Giraffe into the barn. The other animals whisper among themselves about all this.
Otis: am I the only one seeing this
Pip: if you're referring to the tall long necked and legged animal then no
The Farmer and the Zookeeper place the giraffe in the new stall the farmer had built and then head out the barn.
Farmer: don't you worry brother I'll take good care of Jack, alright brother I'll see you soon until Irish Dancing Camp
Zookeeper: see yah till then
The Farmer Irish dances back into his house while the Zookeeper Irish dances back into his truck and drives away.
Meanwhile back in the barn Jack was eating apples out of the feeding trough until he noticed Otis and the gang going over to introduce themselves to him.
Otis: howdy there big guy the name's Otis and as the leader of the farm I'd like to humbling welcome you
Jack: nice to meet you the name's Tall Jackson Jason James Jr although you all can call me Jack for short
Otis: well Jack I'd like you to meet some of my friends and practically the only other important animals on this farm, this is Abby she's very nice but weirdly violent and speaks like a hillbilly
Abby: Otis that's a load of horse pucky
Otis: see what I mean, anyway this is Pig his name is what he is physically and metaphorically
Pig: hey there, are you going to finish off all those apples
Otis: do not offer him any food he'll get greedy; this is Freddy and Peck they have a weird friendship that often results into fights
Freddy/Peck: hi nice to meet you…hey stop copying me…STOP IT…
They then start to fight each other.
Otis: over hear is my best friend Pip
Pip: wassup tall guy
Jack looks around but can't see Pip due to him being so tall and unable to see small things.
Pip: dude I'm down here look closer (Jack moves his head closer)
Jack: so sorry didn't see you there tiny
Otis: and finally, this is duke…
Duke: I'll handle this Otis, hi I'm Duke the farmer's most loyal animal and might I add the wisest of all the barnyard not to mention the sworn protector of this farm
Pip: he also licks himself
Duke: I was bored and lonely ok (said angrily)
Pig: he also drinks out of a toilet
Jack: ew you drink potty water
Duke: my bowl was empty, and that's enough (said angrily)
Peck: he also goes nuts for peanut butter
Freddy: and he chases after balls
Duke: that's it I'm out I'll see you all later (said angrily)
Duke storms out the barn while angrily mumbling and with all the noise happening it woke up Bessie who was not happy that her nap was interrupting, so she marches over and gives everyone a piece of her mind.
Bessie: I need my 15 hours of sleep so what are you morons doing that's disturbing me
Abby: Bessie this is Jack he's a giraffe
Jack: hi
Bessie: I can see, what's a tall moron like you even doing here this ain't a zoo
Otis: actually, yeah why did the Zookeeper drop you off here
Jack: the Zookeeper is moving to a different zoo which means he had to transfer all the animals there, however I recently became an endangered species meaning I can't be transferred between zoos
Peck: but couldn't the Zookeeper return you to the wild in Africa
Jack: afraid not because I was born in captivity meaning I can't survive in the wild, so with nowhere else to go I live here now
Bessie: as long as you don't bother me like these morons we ain't going to have a problem but why do I bother knowing you will, so I'm out later morons
After Bessie leaves Jack asks the others what there was to do around the farm.
Jack: I have to ask what to do you guys do for fun around here because all can't just be spending your lives cooped up in this barn or just grazing in a field
Otis: Jack my man you don't even know the half of what we get up too around here
Otis and the gang take Jack out to have a little fun around the farm, first they head to a pond where they all start swimming in it. Freddy and Peck relax on top of two pool floaties while Pig floats with a rubber ring around him with Peck laying down on his head, Otis and Abby were relaxing by the edge of the pond enjoying the water however they notice Jack wasn't with them.
Abby: hey where'd the giraffe go…
They all see him running up to the pond really fast as if he was about to jump in it.
Jack: HERE I COME, MANABUNGA
He cannonballs into the pond so hard it causes all the water to splash out of the pond leaving it dry and all the animals to be washed away and left hanging in a tree in which they all started laughing.
Otis: that was awesome, hang on with Jack's height who knows what we could accomplish
Later the animals went off into the forest to go play a basketball game against a group of deer. While playing the game the barnyard animals were winning immensely while the deer hadn't even scored a single point, thee reason the barn animals did so well was because every time they got the ball they'd just pass to Jack and without even moving from his spot he could just simply place the ball through the hoop or lightly toss it.
Freddy: Jack I know your tall and all but you're a natural at this, where'd you learn to play
Jack: I used to live in the Central Park Zoo in New York and basketball was a favoured sport in the big apple
Everyone was happy they were winning however one of the deer started to get mad at them.
Deer: your all nothing but cheaters, all you do is pass to the giraffe and he easily scores I'd like to see one of you score
Pig: and you will because next round I personally will dunk the ball through the hoop
Deer: oh, this'll be easy
Otis: pig are you insane
Pig: trust me Otis I've got a plan
They play they play the final round of the game in which Peck has the ball but then Pig is wide open so he passes to him but then Deer surround Pig.
Deer: nowhere else to go porky
Pig: is that so…NOW JACK
Jack picks up Pig in the air and moves him over to the hoop in which Pig immediately slam dunks the ball through the hoop, winning them the game.
Deer: forget this you guys let's just go back into the forest and avoid hunters
After winning the basketball game the gang decides to take Jack into town for a victory pizza party so they put on their disguises and head into town. For Jack's disguise they gave him a brushed-up hair wig, a blue flannel, a pair of jeans and a pair of sneakers but even though he was dressed like a human he still walked on four legs and Jack still felt worried about going into public.
Jack: Otis are you sure people will think I'm a human like them, I've still got a long neck and legs let alone I'm still walking on all fours
Otis: relax as long as we have our disguises on no one will realise we're animals
Abby: don't worry Jack we do this all the time
Peck: yeah I've got feathers and a beak put people still don't notice I'm a rooster
Freddy: yeah and even though I have huge red nose I can slip past people undetected
Pip: dude trust me people won't really say anything about us because they think we're ugly people and don't want to criticise us
Pig: agreed and besides out of everyone here I'm the best at going incognito
Jack: well weirdly I've seen kids who are fat and have pig like noses like you
Pig: exactly
Later they arrive at the park and sit at the benches, Abby went to the food trucks to get some pizza and luckily for her the Pizza Twins had a food truck there selling their pizzas. So, Abby orders one and they excitedly give her an extra-large pizza. She heads back to the table and presents the large pizza in front of them.
Pig: oh boy that looks delicious
Freddy: I call the slice with the most olives
Peck: Freddy I wanted that
Otis: alright everyone dig in…huh
Just then their pizza was swiped away and when they look over they see Snotty Boy holding their pizza while looking evil.
Otis: HEY THAT'S OURS WE PAID FOR IT (Abby nudges Otis) I MEAN SHE PAID FOR IT AND WE'RE HER FRIENDS
Snotty Boy: I don't care I'm taking this pizza because I want it and I can do whatever I want ha ha ha…
Jack immediately kicks Snotty Boy so hard that it sends him flying all the way out of town and thankfully he caught the pizza.
Pip: dude that was awesome where'd did you learn to kick like that
Jack: well before New York I also used to live in England at London Zoo and the folk there sure do love their football
Freddy: hang on the British play soccer not football
Peck: actually, Freddy in every other country they call soccer football, and they call football rubgy
Freddy: WHAT THIS SO CONFUSING
(Ask Dr Pig Cutaway)
Pig: hello I'm Dr Pig did you the reason we call it football in America and other countries call it rugby is because at some big meeting the countries of the world decided to officially change the name however the Americans were too lazy to attend so they were unaware of the name change, that's all from me so see you next time
(End of Ask Dr Pig cutaway)
Abby: uhm guys I just realised where exactly do you think Snotty Boy will land
Otis: oh, I'm sure he's fine but really I don't want him to be
Meanwhile in Mrs Beady's house she and Mr Beady were sitting in their armchairs while she was knitting and he was drinking a beer slouching. Just then Snotty Boy fell right through their roof and crashed in their living room right in front of them.
Mrs Beady: OH MY GOODNESS EUGENE WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU
Snotty Boy was still dizzy from that crash he took and could hardly speak.
Snotty Boy: ow…people looking like farm animals…giraffe kick…pizza… (he goes unconscious)
Mrs Beady: this can only be the work of talking barn animals, Nathan I'm going out watch Eugene
Mr Beady: oh, great here we go again
After their day in town the animals decide to return back to the farm, they change out of their disguises and head to the barn.
Pig: well, that was a splendid day a dip and splash in the pond, humiliating deer at basketball, pizza in the park
Pip: and don't forget about Snotty Boy becoming a human soccer ball
Otis: yeah a pretty good day I must say…
Just then Mrs Beady jumped out of a bush and with a video camera.
Otis: I spoke too soon
Mrs Beady: I've got you this time talking barn animals…hang on is that a giraffe
Jack: is this the weird, creepy and annoying neighbour that's trying to reveal the fact that we talk
Everyone: yep
Mrs Beady: shouldn't you be in a zoo
Jack: long story short my zoo closed and I can't be transferred or released back into the wild
Mrs Beady: no matter when I send this video to the government scientists will come and take you all away and to experiments on you
Abby: Jack do you mind
Jack: not at all
Jack takes the video camera off her and holds it in the air just out of her reach while Mrs Beady fails to jump high enough to grab it.
Mrs Beady: curse your tallness and my short height
Otis: alright I think we've had enough of you Freddy, Peck do the thing
Fred and Peck pull down a giant lever in which it catapults Mrs Beady all the way past the hills getting rid off her, then Jack drops the camera on the floor and stomps on it which crushes it to pieces.
Later at night Jack returned to his stall only to be stopped by the gang.
Otis: hang on lanky where do you think you're going
Jack: it's night time now I'm going to get some sleep
Abby: you can't sleep yet
Jack: why not
Pig: Jack the Farmer is a very heavy sleeper so while during the day he works and we pretend to mindless animals
Freddy/Peck: during the night when he's asleep WE PARTY
Just then the whole barn transforms into an awesome party night club with all the animals going crazy and partying, not to mention the Barn Boys going on stage sing "hittin the hay" and Biggie Cheese going on next. Jack was both shocked and very intrigued by all that was happening.
Jack: so, wait we work whenever the farmer's around but when he goes to sleep we party hard
Otis: pretty much
Jack: THEN LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED
Immediately jack runs onto the dance floors and starts shaking both his legs and neck making them go everywhere in which it gets the other animals excited and more hyped up. While Jack having the time of his life Otis was sitting at a table and then Abby came to join.
Abby: Otis it was real nice of you making Jack feel welcome
Otis: of course, who knows how much fun having a giraffe around and look at him he's practically a barnyard animal already
Without realising they placed their hooves on the table and ended up touching eachother's, once they realised this they immediately moved them away and awkwardly avoided each other if nothing had happened.
Jack will appear in future barnyard fics
