A Chirp Away

Kickin was dashing along the smooth dirt by a forest, on his way to dogdays place which was pretty far from his.

As the determined chicken was dashing threw the path, he look to his side and saw a path that seemed like a short cut.

"I've never seen that path before..but it does seem like a fast way to get to dogdays place" Kickin exclaimed to himself, as he turned his skateboard and swerved into the path way.

As Kickin was speeding threw the path he slowly realized that the path wasn't a short cut, but just a longer way to go.

But as Kickin stopped his board and turned around to walk back, the Tan , Rocky, path he once saw, had more ways to turn, making it impossible to tell which way he came.

Kickin began to worry and followed where he thought he came, but went the wrong way, getting himself lost and feeling fear for the first time.

>If Bubba were here, he'd know which way, so I have to think like like him!< Kickin thought to himself, trying to ignore the thought of worry he had filled up in his mind.

Kickin, once again, went the wrong way, getting himself even more lost then he already was causing more fear and worry as he saw it already was getting late.

>Ok, clearly that plan failed, and its getting late already..what do I do..< Kickin thought once again.

Kickin was at lost of all hope, and he sat under the branches and bushes of a tree, with his skateboard by his side holding back tears and loud chirps, which chick's and chickens would use to warn others of their distress.

"Cmon Kickin, you can survive 1 day out here, just imagine the sick story you'll tell the others!" Kickin said with a shakes voice, trying to make the worries pass away from his mind.

As Kickin was about to calm down, a long russeling sound entered his ears making him stand up and slowly back away with his skateboard in hand.

Kickin realized he was about to Chirp, as he was in shocked, so he immediately covered his beak and began to shake.

Just as kickin was about to catch his breathe, a deer darte from the bush and ran away, making Kickin not waste anytime to run, with the fear of not living to see another day.

As Kickin was running, he tripped over a root hanging out of the ground causing him to fall and scrape both his knees on the Rough and Rocky floor.

Kickin was hurt, scared, and lost.

He had given up with trying to act tough and cool, and began to cry and chirp.

Even tho Kickin felt pathetic crying and chirping like a chick, he knew he was in a pathetic situation, and let out louder chirps as be cried uncontrollaby.

....

"Where's Kickin?" Said DogDay, as he sat on the couch looking around for the missing member.

When DogDay saw everyone shrug, while knowing Kickin said he would be here, he was filled with confusion and worry.

"He always shows up when he says he will" DogDay said worryingly.

"Yeah, it's not like him to not show up..and he does live a little far from here.." Bubba said as he was fixing his sleeping bag.

"Its only right if we looked for him, right?" DogDay said looking everyones way.

Everyone agreed to look for their fellow grinning critter, and left the house and began their search for the missing friend.

As DogDay was searching along the path way, he heard loud chirps and whines coming from the forest.

"Am I the only one that heard that?" DogDay asks the others with a concerned expression.

"Nope" Exclaimed Hoppy, as she slowly walked towards the noise, motioning everyone to follow.

With hesitation, all of the others followed, as the sound grew louder and louder as they moved forward.

Until they saw it.

In shock, they came to realize the one they were looking for, was sitting infront of them on the floor, with scraped knees and a shivering body.

"Kickin!?" Shouted Bobby as her, and all of the other critters ran to his aid, asking questions like "what happened!?" Or "are you okay!?"

Kickin felt pathetic, crying and chirping Infront of all his friends, but he admitted to himself that he needed them, but he wasn't able to speak to any of them due to his chirping and crying, and his distress.

How do I calm him down? Bubba asked himself.

Bubba sat next to Kickin with a first-aid-kit that he had just incase something like this acurred, and placed peroxide on a soft tissue. And wiped kickins tears with his other hand.

"This may hurt a bit Kickin" Bubba warned. As he began to apply the soft peroxide tissue onto his scraped knees.

Kickin let out a loud chirp, due to it stinging and his wounds were still fresh, and bleeding.

All the critters were shocked to see their toughest member crying and chirping, which they never thought he even could chirp.

Bubba finished wiping away the dirt. and blood from Kickins wounds, ans began adding bandages to the weaping chicken, and petted Kickins head, assuring him that it's all over.

DogDay helped up the sad chicken, and helped him head to his destination, DogDays house, and sat him down in his sleeping bag.

Everyone tried to calm him down, but only with no luck, until they heard a knock on the door.

As the door was opened, Catnap stepped in and walks up behind Kickin, and began slowly petting his head, soothing Kickins mind and making him sleepy.

When Kickin slowly went to sleep, Catnap look up at the others and signaled them to sleep, and as he did so, they obeyed and slept as well, while Catnap slept next to Dogday on the couch.

Kickin slept soundly next to Bubba, with something for the others to talk about in the morning.
