Kazari went back home to her house as she's not in a party mood right now. When she was about to open the door, she saw green laser lights, rising from the Town hall, and a song 'Friends' was heard, which she just ignore them, until she saw Mikoto, from his ruined house, got hit by a laser light on his eye, and fell in the water. Kazari felt bad for Mikoto when his house was half-destroyed, and his was all alone. She really wanted to help him, but she have to figure something first.
Mikoto enteKuroko his house again and went upstairs to his bedroom. Suddenly, he noticed a large bark of tree coming near his house. Mikoto took a bat from his nest to get himself ready for what was coming. The bark flipped, revealing to be Kazari who carried the bark.
"Hey, Mikoto." She greeted.
"Kazari, what are you doing here this late?" Mikoto asked as he dropped the bat, and went down the stairs.
"Well, I'm not in a mood for partying with the cars, so I went home." Kazari replied.
"No, I mean, what are you doing here with that bark?" He asked.
"Oh, I saw you that you can't sleep because of these lights, so brought this bark to cover the hole of your house."
"Aww, thanks, Kazari, but you don't have to do that for me."
"Oh, please, don't be silly, I just want to help. So, are you going to help me cover the hole or not?"
Mikoto just smiled as he and Kazari pushed the bark up to cover the hole of Mikoto's house.
"Well, that will hold it." Kazari clapped her wings to wiped the dirt off of her wings.
"Thanks for that, Kazari." Mikoto said. "I appreciated it. So..., goodnight."
"Wait, is it okay that I should accompany you tonight? You must be very lonely."
"Kazari, you don't have to do that either. It's really embarrassing."
"No, I insisted. I don't want to sleep in my house either because of that noise or I was concerned about you after that judge yelled at you like that, and I think you need something to get your mind off."
Mikoto realized Kazari was right. How did she know? Why she was such a good friend, "Well, I have a spare nest in my house. Come in."
When Mikoto opened his house door for her, Kazari cheerfully entered the room, jumping up and down like a little hatchling. Mikoto just rolled his eyes, and closed the door.
When they reached his bedroom, Mikoto opened his closet, and took out a green sleeping bag, entirely made out of leaves.
"Here you go, Kazari." He gave the sleeping nest to his friend.
"Thanks, Mikoto." Kazari said as put the sleeping nest on the floor, and laid herself down on it, "Hey, I have been meaning to ask you, why doesn't everybody like you?"
Mikoto's eyes widened when Kazari asked him like that. No one ever questioned him that before, not even Kuroko and Ruiko. Mikoto thought that Kazari was the first bird who ask him. He took a deep breath, and sighed as he carried a plate of two sandwiches, just for the two of them, "When I was a hatchling, my eyebrows have always been like this." He pointed his huge eyebrows. "And I was made fun of my fellow hatchlings. My parents weren't there when I hatched. Everybody laughed, teased, and doesn't want to be friends with me. This is the reason why I was always been angry of everybody in this island."
"I see." Kazari nodded in frown as she took a sandwich, realizing Mikoto had a miserable life just like hers.
"That's not all, I wanted to be alone." He continued. "So, I built my house outside the village for 5 years, and now, it's ruined, thanks to those cars."
"Don't mind them, Mikoto. They're not worth it."
"Why did you ask me this?"
"Oh, is that bad? I'm so sorry. I was just curious."
"No, no, it's okay. It's just that, no one ask me that before."
"Honestly, Mikoto, I was a little concern about you." Kazari confessed as Mikoto felt pity for her when he asked her, "No wonder the judge shouted at you, and no one listened to you back there. They were meanies… the cars actually, not our fellow birds."
"I get it." Mikoto said. "It's getting late. We should go to sleep."
"Agreed, and Mikoto…" Kazari said as Mikoto looked at her before he laid down on his nest, "Thanks. Thanks for sharing me your story."
Mikoto smiled and said. "I've never shared my backstory to anyone before, because I don't have friends, and no one's interested. I'm also new to this… sharing thing. I should be the one to thank you for asking me, and I have to let my sad story out."
"Aww, Mikoto, that's… kinda… sweet. Maybe you're just tired. Let's go to sleep." Kazari said before she tucked herself in the sleeping bag and fell asleep.
Mikoto Kurokoled and rolled his eyes. "Yeah, you're a one crazy bird sometimes."
Throughout the days of the cars' stay, Mikoto and Kazari are the only birds who grew suspicious about the cars. The two birds could not go anywhere without seeing the cars taking photos of all the places and things on Bird Island. They noticed a lot of the pictures were of eggs in nests, as well as eggs used in signs and illustrations, and also the Birds & Bees Fertility clinic, which it was a shape of an egg.
"That's weird," thought Mikoto. "These cars seem obsessed with eggs. What's so special about ordinary birds' eggs?"
Next, Mikoto was about to get some food on the dining table, but the cars gobbled all of the food as no food was left for Mikoto.
Mikoto groaned as he threw his plate. He, suddenly, felt a poke on his shoulder. He turned around, and saw Kazari carrying a tower of food she saved if there's no food for Mikoto. He blushed and appreciated for Kazari of saving food for him, as she shrugged and blushed and felt appreciated.
One of these days, Mikoto was about to walk out of his house, but the door won't open. He pushed the door harder, and found that there were cars lying in the sun, playing volleyball, and swimming on the beach.
Almost far away from her house, Kazari noticed Mikoto struggled from the cars who were playing inside and outside of his house. He can't get out nor tried to get the other cars out of his house. She have had it. She can't just leave her new friend helpless. Kazari marched angrily towards Mikoto's house.
When she was about to pass through the crowd of cars, she launched her sharp feathers on all of the cars' butt. The cars jumped up from their place, and ran in many directions when they feel a sharp pain on their butts. It was Kazari's chance to pass through the cars easily. She knocked on the door, and Mikoto opened it, trying to get rid of the cars out of his house.
"Oh, hi, Kazari." Mikoto smiled sheepishly, "Look, I don't have time to talk, 'cause I got a…" Before Mikoto can finish his sentence, Kazari grabbed him by his wrist of his wing, and dragged him out with her. "Hey, where're we going? Where are you taking me?" He asked, but she won't answer as she continued to drag him.
"Hey, stop right there!" Foreman pig stood in front of Kazari as he glared at her for pinning him and the cars with her sharp feathers.
Kazari gave the Foreman pig a sharp glare as she raised her spare wing in front of the pig. Her wing formed a glowing blue ball, and casted a spell, "Boxing glove…" Before she could continue, Kazari blasted a small pig, who was almost after her, with her laser eyes. She, again, pointed her glowing wing onto the Foreman pig, and shouted, "Boxing glove punch!"
A red boxing glove came out of the glowing blue ball from Kazari's hand, and it punched the Foreman pig on the face and fell to the ground.
Mikoto couldn't believe what he saw. A boxing glove just magically came out from Kazari's wing, and deadly laser came out of her eyes. How did she do that?
Ignoring Mikoto's eyes of shock, Kazari silently marched, dragging Mikoto, to her house.
When they reached her house, Kazari released Mikoto, and locked the door. "You should stay here for a while, until I will get rid of them if I have the time."
Mikoto looked around and was impressed of Kazari's house inside. The living room has a couch, and a set of musical instruments that was placed near the window that has a white curtain. She has a electrical guitar, keytar, piano, drum kit, and violin. On the walls, there was a hanging shelves that have Kazari's collections of books, rocks, and shells. One of the shelf has a strange green rectangle with a small satellite thing on top of it, and few purple buttons. Mikoto reached for the thing, and looked at it very closely as he was not sure what is that, and what does it do.
"Hey!" Kazari snatched the green thing from Mikoto's wing, "Don't touch this! It's my private property!" She put the green rectangle back to where it truly belongs. "Do you want something to eat?"
"No thanks, I'm good." Mikoto answered as he sat on the couch. "What does that thing do anyway?"
"It doesn't matter." Kazari sighed as she reached for the broom and swept the floor.
"But what about that glowing blue ball that came out from her wing?" He asked
"That doesn't matter, either."
"How about that boxing glove that came out from that glowing ball?"
"That was nothing!" Kazari tried to ignore Mikoto's questions, but he kept on asking.
"And your feathers? How did you pinned the cars with your feathers, and how they were sharp? And those eyes of yours?"
"I don't what you're talking about, Mikoto! Please, stop this!"
Mikoto knew Kazari was lying. He saw her using some kind of energy or magic as he stood up, and made her stop sweeping, "Kazari, I really want to know! How did you do all of those things?"
"It's none of your business, Mikoto!" Kazari shouted. "You don't have to know everything about me!"
"Oh yes, I do! When you asked me why everybody doesn't like me, I told you everything… Everything! Why can't you tell me yours?!"
With tears in her eyes, Kazari didn't want Mikoto to know her most deepest secret, but he was right. Since Mikoto told her his secret, Kazari have to tell him hers, just to be fair. She just hope that her friendship with Mikoto stays the same.
She turned around and faced Mikoto, crying, "You really want to know about me? Fine! But I warned you, it ain't pretty." Kazari reached for that green rectangle thing, and sat besides Mikoto to show it to him. "I really don't belong here. No, I don't belong in this world. I wasn't born… er, hatched in Bird Island. I wasn't a bird at all!"
"Whatever do you mean? I-I don't understand you!" Mikoto asked.
"That's the point, Mikoto!" Kazari paused for a while to breathe from her sob, and confessed. "I… I came from another world. I was a different kind of creature, like the cars. I was called… a human. They were like animals, like birds and cars, but completely different." Then, she pointed the green rectangle. "And this thing… is called a dimensional remote control. It can open portals through different worlds around the universe. Watch this." Kazari pushed one of the purple buttons, and opened a green circle hole in the air, revealing a portal to the human world.
Mikoto was shock as fell down and crawled backwards, pushing himself away from the portal, "What is that?!"
"A portal to my home world. This is where I lived." Kazari closed the portal, and cried. "This is my secret! Happy? I knew this day would come. Go on! Laugh at me all you want! I can take it!"
Mikoto's fear disappeared as he looked at Kazari in worried. He saw her like a miserable bird… or a human in her world. He didn't want to hurt her like she didn't want to hurt him. Mikoto moved besides Kazari,and placed his wing on her back. "Actually, Kazari, I don't find it funny. You're not funny at all."
Kazari wiped her tears away, and looked at Mikoto, "Really?"
"Actually, it was interesting." Mikoto formed a smile on his beak. "I mean, there are more other worlds in the universe? Wow, it was so cool!"
"Yeah, I came here to get away from my miserable life in my world, like bullying and teasing.." Kazari explained. "Ruiko wasn't really my cousin. We're not related. We don't have the same blood. You see, I have the ability to transform into a bird—It's a super power or magic thing, my friends from another world gave it to me—but I can't do that without a DNA of a bird. So, when I stepped here in this world, in Bird Island, I met Ruiko for the first time, and I explained to him about me. Ruiko was very kind enough to share his DNA with me when he gave me his feather. With my magic powers, I copied his DNA, and transformed into a bird. that's how Ruiko and I are related... by feathers. And, this is the appearance of a bird that I can think of."
"Oh, come on. It looks good on you. And your magic ability, they're pretty amazing. But, what about waiting your tree house to grow for 10 years?"
"I lied. I didn't sleep on the sand for 10 years. I only say that to make you feel better after your house was destroyed. I used my magic abilities to grow my house."
"I guess, I'm not the only bird who has a miserable life."
"Well, that's not the only secret I have. Remember that boxing glove? I was trained by my other friends from another world. Their names are Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, and Private, and their adoptive guardians or wives Skenda, Kelda, Renda and Prenda, they taught me hand-to-hand combat moves. And there were Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof, and their guardians, Cos, wands, and Pof, they gave me magical abilities taught me about wishing and magic. And the Powerpuff girls; Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, and their guardian, Blos, Bubs, and Butters, they gave me super powers, like laser eyes, and taught me how to use them. I also built a team called, The Imaginary teams, a.k.a. The I teams. Our job is to spread love and friendship around the universe, and also fighting crimes and disasters."
"That was so cool. So, there are other worlds you already visited? This world isn't the first world you ever visited?"
"No, this is the 6th world I visited."
"So, only Ruiko know?"
"Until you know. Maybe some day you guys can join in my team."
"Kazari, I'm so sorry I asked. I didn't know."
"That's okay, Mikoto. I really want other birds to know my secret besides Ruiko."
"Don't worry, Kazari. You're secret's safe with me. I promise."
When Mikoto held Kazari's wing, she wiped her tears, and sniffed, "Thanks, Mikoto. You're a good friend. How come nobody saw you like this?"
"Hey, you helped me, I was returning the favor, because you're my friend." Mikoto explained as he still saw Kazari's tears fell out. "Aww, you're still sad. You know, a little music cheered me up sometimes."
"Is it okay if I have to choose my favorite song?" Kazari asked.
"Sure, go ahead."
Kazari took out her cassette from under the couch, and played a song, which it was familiar to Mikoto.
"Wait, I know this song! It's my favorite!" He exclaimed.
"No way! Same thing to me!" Kazari squealed as she started dancing, and Mikoto did the same.
It was no secret
The way that we feel
A love that's so pure
A love that's so real
You showed me your world
And it felt like a sign
But you acted too slow
And you ran out of ti-i-ime
And now we'll be just friends
We will be just friends
And now we'll be just friends
Be just friends
When the music is still playing, Kazari played her keytar, and Mikoto played one of Kazari's electrical guitar. It's like they were in band, singing their favorite song.
