Wingspan (DuoXRed)

Chapter 1: Liftoff

Red was eating breakfast, Chuck had just walked in from getting the mail "Uhm, Red... why did we get a letter from the village council?" Chuck looked through some of the envelopes "What?" Red raised a brow as Chuck handed him the letter from the village council. It was addressed to him

"Dear mister Red Bird, we had another case similar to your own where a bird is being extremely angry and annoying. Like with you, we have assigned him anger management, however, he has shown no improvement over the past six months and has gotten more aggressive. With your experience in these behaviors, being the most extreme case that we have witnessed up until this one, we have decided to make you his new anger management teacher without your consent. You are to meet him at 2 PM at the local pub on the 4th, however, you may set your schedule with him. His name is Duo, a green feathered owl, he's kind of difficult to miss, to be honest. We look forward to seeing you help this bird make a recovery to being peaceful and well mannered. 

-From the village council"

Red had read the letter fully before looking up to Chuck confused "What's it about?" Chuck sat down with Red at the table "So apparently I have to give anger management classes to some bird named Duo?" Red was still trying to wrap his head around the whole situation "How much are they paying?" Chuck asked "Nothing and they said I don't have a choice so... that's great..." Red sighed "Well at least you get to make a new friend!" Chuck enthused, Red just continued to eat, ignoring Chuck's optimism. "Come on, it won't be that bad! If you need me and Bomb could always help you out!" Chuck took a blueberry from Red's pancakes, Red snatched it back before Chuck could eat it "I'm good, thanks." his tone was quite agitated "Fine, be that way." Chuck scoffed and went to his room.

It was the fourth, Red had arrived at the Pub a few minutes early and was greeted by the barkeep who he had met before a few times as the pub was quite popular and Chuck and Bomb would eat out with him quite often there "Ah, Red, early I see?" He laughed "Yeah, I'm assuming you heard about my new student then?" Red sighed "Yup, the mayor wanted to make sure I was ok with the possibility of this guy ruining the pub. I doubt he's that bad." The barkeep scoffed. Then, he appeared. A green owl with a shiny golden beak walked into the pub and walked right up to Red seeming quite chipper "Hello there! Are you my new mentor?" He held his wing out for Red to shake, which Red did with hesitancy "I believe so." Red looked Duo up and down once more just to confirm that this was the right bird "I'll pay for our drinks, least I can do since the council isn't paying you for this." Duo smiled and sat on the barstool next to Red "I don't understand, they said that your anger issues are worse than mine, you are one of the more bearable birds on this island though!" Red chuckled "I came here to work my dream job of being a Spanish teacher, but they don't think my teaching methods are very up to standard." Duo explained "Spanish? I'm surprised anybody on this island is competent enough to learn a different language like that." Red commented, Duo sighed "Exactly, the ones that are in my class aren't taking it seriously so I try to help them the only way I know how." Duo said." and this is where your anger issues come in I assume?" Red asked, Duo nodded "Do you care about this? Trying to make me into what they consider a model citizen?" Duo asked "I might as well, I doubt they'll let it slide if we just ignore this. How about I come to one of your lessons and see what's going on?" Red suggested "Alright, that sounds good!" Duo smiled.

The two continued to talk for about a half-hour, drinking non-alcoholic beverages and snacking on the free dried grasshoppers until Red and Duo went their separate ways for the rest of the day.
