The Adventures of Azalea and Twig (book 5)

Chapter 2

     "AHHHHH!" Branch screamed, tumbling towards the ground. "HELP!"

     Right before he hit the ground, Uueeka grabbed onto him by his foot, holding him upside down, as he flew back up into the sky, laughing.

     "This isn't funny!" Branch yelled, angrily, his heart still racing. "Bring me home!"
"Noopa," Uueeka said, continuing to fly.

     Branch looked down at the ground, all the blood rushing to his head, as he started to feel nauseous.

     "Ugh..." he groaned, his face turning green.

     Uueeka looked down, noticing Branch didn't like being held upside down, so he threw him up into the air, catching him on his back.

     Branch landed on his stomach, immediately clinging onto Uueeka's feathers, as tight as he could, as he held his eyes shut tightly, just wanting to get back down to the ground safely.

     Finally, Uueeka began flying down towards the ground, landing in the grove where he lived.

     "Are we done now?" Branch asked, shaking, as he kept his eyes closed.
"Goobie," Uueeka replied nodding. He then straightened out his body, flapping his wings, so that Branch fell off his back.

     "Ow!" Branch groaned, as he hit the ground, landing on his back.

     "Daddy!" he suddenly heard.

     He opened his eyes, seeing Azalea standing over him, smiling.

     "Well hello there. Nice of you to finally show up," Pansy said, smirking, as she offered Branch her hand.

     "Never... do that... again," he said, wobbling up to his feet.
"I make no promises," she said, chuckling.

     "Azalea. Are you ok, sweetie?" he said, softly, as he bent down picking her up.
"Daddy fall down!" she laughed.
"Yeah... I know..." he grumbled, kissing his daughter's head, before turning back to Pansy.

     "Where's Poppy?" he asked.
"At the tree house with her father, and Twig. Why have you not brought my grand kids to see me yet?"
"Because, I'm rather fond of living," he replied, rolling his eyes. "Come on, Azalea. Let's go find mommy."
