Part 1
The town clock struck 10pm as we walked passed it.
We finally were in the heart of the city after making our way from that abandoned industrial area.
We walked through the streets and as we did we started to get looks...well I did.
"Great...people are staring at me following you...They must think I'm a freak or something..."
The seagull kept walking fast as we went around the city until finally we stopped at a crossroad.
"Why we stop?" I asked... "I don't want to be standing around people too much longer with you around now."
The seagull pointed at a building that could be seen some distance away.
"Yeah...What about it?" I asked.
The seagull tried to write on its notepad as I waited for it, standing like a idiot.
"That's the group's hideout" I read out.
I looked up at it and stared at the building...
"So...they're up there?"
Before I could ask the seagull anymore questions, it started to walk away, in another direction.
"Hey! Where are you going?!" I shouted at it.
The seagull turned and wrote on its notepad.
"I have to go and talk to someone...to get some stuff so we will be prepared for this tonight".
"What?! What the heck do we need? Sure we should get this over and done with now don't ya think?" I replied
It wrote again
"We need anything and everything that will help us do this, best to be prepared"
"In case you haven't notice you dumb bird....I am prepared..."
"I mean weapons...not lots and lots of hair gel" I read out.
It quickly wrote again before I could reply...
"How much do you use to keep that up all day?"
"I don't need to use much!" I replied, "It's mostly like this when I wake up!"
Two people giggled as they walked passed me as I said this.
"Shut up! I bet the two of ye never use it! I know you don't you bald bastard! That's right you heard me now keep walking!"
The seagull stood there looking at me stupid...and finally wrote on its last page of its notepad.
"Meet me at that bar at 11.15pm and we'll head off, got it?" I read out.
"What bar?"
The seagull pointed a past me, to a bar at the opposite side of the crossword.
"The jolly dodger...So original...."
I turned again and saw the seagull walk off.
"Hey come back here you...you...you...!"
The seagull just threw its wing up in the air as it continued to walk away out of sight.
"Great! What the heck am I suppose to do now huh?!" "Dumb seagull...!"
I looked up at the sky and let out a sigh.
"God...I'm arguing with a seagull, how much worse can you get..."
I looked up at the town clock again...
"10.10 pm...Might as well look around for awhile..." I thought.
I headed off, exploring the city, looking at the shops.
As I walked around, I could see everyone was with someone they loved...
"Never thought before that animals could have girlfriends or boyfriends..." I thought to myself.
"Always though they, just find someone, and have children for no reason..."
Just then snow started to fall and as I looked around at it, I noticed the city park lights on.
I walked over to the park and stood, leaning against the railings and looking over the area.
I then took out the chain from my pocket of the group and looked at it...
"I wonder why they wanted me dead...? Is it someone I know, or what?" I thought.
"Sometime to do it as well, the beginning of the new year...sigh. Maybe I should start making new years resolutions...then it mightn't happen" I smirked...
"I looked at the small clock in the park then and notice the time.
"10.45? Better start to go back now, don't want to keep the seagull late"
But even though I knew I had to get back, I didn't move...I continued to stare out at the park.
"Why the heck am I doing this...? Why am I helping that seagull...?"
I stood there looking down at the ground.
"I should just end up going back home...why should it matter to me...why...?"
I continued to stand there for the next 5 minutes in silence thinking why but couldn't come up with a reason.
Eventually, I put my hand in my pocket, and took out a coin.
"Heads, I'll continue to help...tails...I won't..."
I flipped the coin up into the air and caught it in my hand without looking.
I stood there...wanting to lift my hand up off the coin, but couldn't...
Suddenly I looked up at the clock.
"10.52..."
Without looking at the coin...I placed it in my pocket so that it couldn't move, so when i look at it next, I'll know the answer...
I turned around and quickly made my way back to the bar.
Part 2
I made my way back to the bar quickly
The sounds of people's voices could be heard quite clearly from the outside.
Two dogs seemed to be asleep right next to it, with empty beer bottles around them.
"OOOOOoooooooooooookkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk........" I thought.
"Some place that birdbrain chooses...Better go in..."
I walked inside to a bunch of staring, nosey eyes...all looking at me as I entered.
I stood looking back, wanting to stick my tongue out at them for some funny reason but thought it probably get cut off.
I walked over slowly to the counter and waited for the bartender to finally come up to me.
"What will it be?" He asked
"Milk....Strawberry milk...please" I replied back.
The bartender laughed, "Milk?! You want strawberry mil..."
I immediately caught the bartender by the beard.
"I want...strawberry milk, I don't care if it has to be even milk with a strawberry just dropped in it" I said in a quiet but serious voice
"Now give me strawberry milk before I use your strawberries as a snack for the dogs outside!"
I threw him back as I let him go, and he ran as fast as he could to the back trying to find milk and a strawberry, before finally coming back out with a strawberry put into the milk.
"Thank you..." I said with such a happy face on me.
I walked to a small table in the corner and sat down with the milk.
I checked my watch...It was 11 o clock.
"Well, might as well fit in here as I wait" I thought, and sat back comfortably in the chair, putting my feet up on the table.
As I sat there, quite content with my milk, I checked the place around and saw some men at the other side of the bar looking at me every now and again.
I ignored them and continued to wait for the seagull to get back.
But it wasn't long till they got up off there seats and looked at me again before walking over to me.
"God...Can't a guy just enjoy his milk in peace" I thought as I saw them come over.
Four men stood on front of me looking down at me.
"I know what you're thinking and I'm not interested in any one of ye ok? I'm so sorry to tell ye this" I said with a grin and a small laugh.
"Haha, Sorry, but you aren't our type...We like ours to be big and not with a weird hairstyle like yours" One of them said back...
"My, what a comeback...And here I thought ye were going to try and court me" I said as I winked back at the guy with the comment before slipping my milk.
"Heh, think you're a funny guy don't ya? Drinking your milk and all" The main guy said to me.
"Yeah, I do...And milk is so much better then that urine piss colour drink ye call beer that you're having."
"Hey boy! You got some death wish to call beer that?!" One of them said back to me angrily.
"Oh...Looks like I hit a nerve, better be careful not to set you off...you might try to hit me" I said with a laugh.
I don't know why I was hoping for him to attack, maybe it was the milk gone to my head I don't know.
But I finally seemed to push him as I sung a stupidly lyric song I made up on the spot 'piss piss piss, beer's so piss piss'.
The moment the guy was about to move towards me, the door opened and everyone once again stared at it.
What walked in was small, and carrying a big sack that was scraping of the ground.
"Finally, he's here" I thought.
The seagull looked around at all the people staring, and then looked to see me.
It walked up to the table, dropped the sack and jumped up on the chair.
It wrote on its new red notepad.
I looked at it and then shouted at the bartender.
"Can we get one Dry Martini over here with a whip of ice-cream on top of it!"
The seagull banged the table in agreement to what I asked for, and then took out a cigarette and lit it up.
The guys stood there looking at it as it smoked and put its tiny feet up on the table.
"What the fuck?!" They all said.
They busted out laughing then.
"No wonder he's not interested in us! He prefers a seagull to even women!" The main guy said as they continued to laugh.
I ignored them as I drank my milk and while the bartender came over with the seagull's martini.
The seagull slipped it before looking at the guys and sticking its tongue out.
"Aww...!" I said, "I wanted to do that all the time."
The guys continued to make comments at us as we drank away.
"Haha, The seagull is worse for accepting to go out with this guy"
The seagull then put its glass up to its mouth to drink from it.
"Couldn't you find a seagull girlfriend?" The guy asked laughing.
The seagull stopped drinking, with the glass still up at its mouth, and raised a eyebrow.
"I would walk away if I was you guys now" I said to them calmly.
"Why think we might steal your 'boyfriend'?" They laughed again.
Then I raised a eyebrow at the comment.
"Haha, poor seagull must have got desperate and would try almost anything now, even the boy did as well!"
We immediately both put our drinks down and looked at the guys across the table.
"Looks like we offended them one guy said to another, while nudging him.
Just as that guy turned around, the seagull jumped at him and kicked him into the face, sending him straight at the counter.
Two other guys looked and turned around to see me jumping across the table as well.
I jumped on them and handstand on there heads looking down at them.
I gave them a smirk as I back flipped off and kicked them both in the head as well, sending them to the wall.
Everyone was jaw dropped at what we did...
We stood there looking at the three poor guys, unconscious on the ground, before turning around to the last remaining guy of the group.
He was shaking in fear...
I walked up slowly to him and looked up at him.
"Boo...."
The guy fainted hitting his head off the table, which made it flip up into the air, and fall onto him, then the candle on the table caught his beard on fire.
"Wow....Never thought saying boo could be so dangerous."
The seagull hit me across the head getting my attention.
"WHAT!?" I said.
"The seagull wrote on its notepad.
"Come we got to hurry to one of the building rooftops, I'll explain as we go ok?"
"Huh? eh....ok?" I replied.
We quickly left the bar, a bar full of people who's jaws dropped at what they just saw.
I quickly came back in, sneakily, with a glass bottle and threw it at someone.
"THE BARTENDER THREW THAT!!!" I shouted.
With that everyone started to fight, destroying the place inside.
I laughed and left catching up with the seagull...
Part 3
The snow started to come down quicker, down onto the city, as we stood atop one of the city's buildings, almost 50 stories up...
The winter's cold blew right through as we looked across at the huge building across our way.
We were prepared, with everything, to face what ever came our way during this night.
"So this is where they are?" I asked the seagull.
It wrote on its notepad.
"Yes, on the 75th floor of this building is there hideout" I read out.
I looked up at it again.
"Are you sure? Like...isn't this a bit, you know, out in the open for a hideout?"
"Its a building that's probably used...by you know...PEOPLE! And your telling me that, a group of animals have a hideout on the 75th floor!?"
The seagull nodded.
"Hmmm...The group must be a bunch of rats or insects then huh, and they kidnapped your girlfriend, Haha!"
The seagull then jumped up and hit me across the head with its notepad.
"Ouch! I'm only joking..."
We both looked up at the building...
"Its going to be some climb when we get in, but it all depends what floor we'll land on when we jump."
"Just be ready to run and shoot anything on site as we run up ok?"
The seagull nodded once again and we both stepped back from the edge, preparing to run and jump over to the building ahead.
"On the count of 3..."
"1...2...2 and a half...2 and 3-quarters....2 and 9 eighths...12...3!!
We ran to the very edge and jumped, what seemed to be 20 feet in length, to the building across from us.
We started to fall quickly but we finally fell right through one of the big glass windows into the building.
The ground was covered in small parts of glass as we lied on the floor, not believing what we just did.
The seagull quickly got up and dusted its wings, and then it turned to me signalling to come on.
"Wait, wait! I have to check my hair, see if its still up in position"..."Is it ok?" I asked him.
As I turned to look at the seagull, he threw a huge pc monitor at me which hit me right in the head.
I sat there dazed for a few seconds.
"You thick bird! Now someone's bound to know where here!"
It then looked at me stupid and then pointed to both the glass and the ground and the broken window.
"Tch! fine..."
I got up and looked around finding a sign of what floor where on.
"33rd... We landed on the f***** 33rd floor!" "That's like..." I counted with my fingers..."Another 42 floors to climb!"
The seagull wrote on its notepad.
"You know your some child, with a major hair obsession..."
"I'm not a child! And i don't HAVE A HAIR OBESSION! I shouted back at it!
Suddenly we heard a voice coming up the stairs.
"HEY! Who's up there!?"
It was a thick looking security guard.
As he came up the stairs and came into the area, it looked at the broken window.
"What the hell?"
As he took a few steps closer, he heard a quiet cry next to him.
He turned and looked down to see a seagull on the ground, holding its foot in its wings.
"What the heck happened to you little fella?"
The seagull then takes out its notepad and writes on it showing it to him.
"Sucker" The guard read out.
"Damn right you are!" I answered back as I came out from the shadows behind and knocked the guard out.
The seagull gets up and claps its wings.
"Why thank you" I kneel down and search the guard for keys, eventually finding them.
"Thanks for the keys..." I look at its name tag. "...Paddy.....typical"
I get up and the two of us start to run up the stairs up through the building.
As we head up, the seagull writes on the notepad while running
"Geez you can run and write? You're some freak..."
It finished writing and showed it to me.
"What are the keys for?" I read out.
"Well this one is probably used to open doors..."
"This one is probably the guy's house key..."
"And this tiny one could be used to shove down you mouth and shut you up if you ever hit me across the head again!"
It writes on its notepad again.
"Ok I will never hit you across the head again" I read out.
"Well that's good to know..."
Just then the seagull hits me across the ass
"Hey! Don't hit the booty, you never hit the booty!!"
I chased the seagull up the stairs...
Part 4
We finally made our way up to the 75th floor.
"Damn you for making me chase after you." I said to the seagull as I held it by the neck walking up the last few steps.
"Don't ever touch the booty you got it!?"
I dropped him on the ground and looked at the long corridor that lied ahead of us.
"So I take it this is the place?"
The seagull stood up and nodded, it then wrote on its notepad.
"Yeah, prepare yourself and be on guard, you never know what might happen." I read out.
"Yeah...After all that happened I'm not really going to be surprised at anything now"
We both walked down the corridor slowly, until we saw an entrance to our left.
The seagull stopped and put up its hand.
It ran to the other side of the entrance and then I ran to the side close to me.
We walked slowly in staying close to each other.
"What the hell is this place?" I whispered.
Just then, lights, small floodlights, lit up the whole place, blinding us for a second.
As I started to see again, I looked around in awe.
The room was huge alright, in length and in height, about 4 stories in height, pillars the only thing that was visible in the room and windows on each wall to our left and right.
"Woooooooo.......It's like...some sort of hanger warehouse or something."
We then heard a weird, freakish laugh echoing through the place.
"Ok...what the hell was that?" I said to the seagull.
Just then the laugh could be heard again and 4 shadows start to appear around the place as the lights got dimmer.
"I don't like this..."
They all moved around the place before finally they stood at our sides and on front of us, surrounding us.
Both me and the seagull got prepared ourselves to attack but they didn't move.
"What the heck are they; all I can see is shadows...its too dark."
They just stood there, not moving a inch, until finally they all came out of the shadows...into the light.
"Well I'm just not surprised now..." I said with a sigh.
What stood around us, from left to right, were a turtle, a pig, a rabbit, and a donkey.
We all stood facing each other until the rabbit took out a notepad and writ something on it...
"God not again...." I thought to myself as I saw it write.
"So its really you, the one that has us all pissed off" I read out.
"Huh?...Pissed off?" I said, "What the 'fuff' did I do to you?" I said with a laugh.
The rabbit stuck up its middle finger at me for the fuff pun word.
The donkey then started to write on a notepad
"I never forgot you after all this time" I read out.
"What...?" "Never....forgot me?"
"Well that's touching and all...but when did we ever meet? Don't remember a donkey like you..."
Then the pig started to write on a notepad.
"I feel like a narrator talking for ye..." I muttered to myself
"We hate you for all you've done to us!" I read out.
"WHAT THE HELL DID I DO!?" I shouted out.
Just then the turtle begun to write on its notepad with its mouth...
"You...have got...to be...kidding me..." I said with a worried face.
The turtle stared to write slowly on its notepad...
I sat on the ground with my hands under my face waiting for the turtle to finish writing.
Seconds, became minutes, 5 minutes...10 minutes...15 minutes...
Finally it stopped writing and turned the notepad to me.
I crawled over to it and looked at it.
"So you can't remember, can you..." I read out.
I looked up at the turtle with a twitch in my eye.
"It took you all that time to write that...? I said quietly
It slowly nodded before I wracked it over the head.
"Stupid turtle!" I said as I noticed a smaller turtle behind it.
"Huh?"
The smaller turtle went behind one of the pillars close to it.
"....ok...." I said and crawled back to the seagull before standing back up.
The seagull tapped me on the leg and showed me its notepad.
"Looks like we're out numbered...I'll take the rabbit and the donkey, you take the other 2" I said out quietly.
I nodded in agreement but just as I did, we heard footsteps from the other side.
We both looked ahead of ourselves to finally see another shadow, a shadow the same size as the seagull.
A notepad was thrown out into the centre from its direction, we both looked at it.
"Looks like we've got to do the hard work so it seems" I read out.
The shadow then walked into the light.
"You're kidding me?"I said as what walked out, was...a pelican.
I looked at it and then took out the chain with the bird shape on it.
"You're the leader?! A pelican is a leader of a group of animals that has a rabbit, donkey, pig and turtle?" I said in amazement.
The pelican smirked and nodded, but soon its smirk went to a face of anger as I fell to the ground, bursting out laughing.
"I can't fucking believe this!? HAHA!!" "A pelican is the boss, the big cheese HAHA!!"
They all stared as I tried to stop the laughing but failed to do so, so the seagull smacked me across the head.
I got back up and coughed before looking at the pelican.
"Why the hell do ye all have a vendetta against me...huh?!!" I asked them all.
"We all have our reasons for wanting to kill you" I read out from the pelican's gold and shiny notepad.
They all started to write one after another and I read one after another.
"You always use to pull my tail when you came to visit with your class to the farm!" I read from the pig's.
"Then throw me around 360 holding onto it!"
"You use to find it funny trying to pin a mock tail on me!" The donkey's said.
"You use to give me wet willies into my big ears!" The rabbit's read.
I finally turned to the turtle, watching it write, once again slowly...
The pig ran over and wrote down on it and gave it to the turtle to show.
"You use to stick me in glue! I couldn't move" the turtle's said.
"Hehe" I giggled at the thought of that image.
I finally turned to the pelican, "And what's your reason then?" I asked.
The pelican wrote and showed.
"You once catch my mouth with a hook while you were fishing and pulled me to you, then swung me up in the end before throwing me back out to sea!"
"God..." I thought, "I was some evil child haha!" "Can't remember doing those things to you sorry"
"You did do those things! We remember" The pelican wrote. "And now its payback time for all of them".
"And you want to kill me for all of that is it!? Remind me again never to piss ye of ye weirdoes." I said to them.
The pelican, ignoring me, looked at the seagull and then catch a rope by its leg, and pulling on it, to pull the seagull's girlfriend out from behind a pillar.
"Now seagull, I'll give you one more chance to take care of this, homosexual child here or else toots here gets it!" I read from the pelican's notepad.
"HEY I'M NOT HOMOSEXUAL!!!" I said throwing a tantrum.
Just then, the seagull held a knife up to me, looking up at me.
"???" "Don't change your mind here bud, or else I'll take care of you along with them as well" I replied.
The seagull continued to look up at me before shifting his eyes at the pelican and throwing the knife at him, catching him by the feathers.
The seagull then wrote on its notepad.
"I don't need to do any stinking work for you. By the time you can get even a scratch on her, I'll have you cut into tiny pieces ready for a barbecue!"
"Hey, don't try to sound all heroic Mr. Who-got-his-butt-kicked-2-times-by-me."
The seagull stuck up its wing in that all too familiar rude universal hand sign.
"Heh, fair enough" I said to it...
Part 5
We both stood there quietly, looking at the group surrounding us.
The pelican wrote on its notepad and showed it to everyone.
"Take care of them" It said.
The group nodded and prepared to move at us.
The seagull wrote on his.
"You got your two, let's go!" I read out
"Ok! No worries I've got these two covered! I'll take care of the turtle first!" I said as I rushed at the turtle.
Before the turtle could even move, I kicked it so hard that I sent it flying out the window up into the sky before it finally twinkled and vanished.
"One down!" I said as I turned, only to find that baby turtle at my feet.
"Huh???......Awwww...I'm sorry little guy but I have to do tha..."
Just then the small turtle grabbed me by the legs and pulled me to the ground.
"What the?!" was all I could say before the turtle stood up on its back legs, catching my leg with its front legs, and smashing me off the ground continuously.
"NNNNNNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! ULTRA STRONG TURTLE!!! I NEVER THOUGHT THIS NIGHTMARE WOULD COME TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I said as it swung me around the place, banging of the ground and pillars.
The seagull was caught up in a two-on-one hand to hand fight with the donkey and rabbit; it didn't notice me at all.
The killer turtle finally let go of me, throwing me against a pillar.
The pig threw its notepad over to the turtle.
"Leave this to me, kid" It said.
As I scratched my head and slowly looked up, my eyes widening.
The pig stood there with a rocket tied onto its back.
"Where the hell you get that?!" I asked.
The pig pushed the button and the rocket initiated, sending the pig flying towards me.
I ducked as it smashed through the pillar out the other side.
The pig begun flying around the whole area, squealing loudly as it did.
It soon took out Uzi's and begun to shoot at me.
"Crazy pig!!" I said as I ran for cover behind one of the pillars, before finding a shotgun on the ground.
"Oh, this just seemed to be magically placed here" I said with a smirk before grabbing it and coming out from behind the pillar.
"Take this you piece of pre-cooked bacon!" I shouted as I pulled the trigger....but the shotgun was empty.
"...Just my luck" I muttered as I looked down at it, before looking back up to see the pig flying straight at me, head butting me.
I fell to the ground with a huge pain in my head.
"God damn it! Pigs are really starting to fuckin fly now aren't they with rockets tied onto there backs!"
I got up to find the turtle laughing.
"I'll get to you when I'm done with this piece of flying fatness here! Ok?!"
The pig heard me and came down once again to try and head butt me.
"Haha, fell for it you did!" I said as I jumped and grabbed onto the rocket on the pig's back.
"Now its time for some tweaking!" I told the pig as I took out my gun and started to bang at the rocket, making it malfunction.
"Adios!"
I jumped off just before the rocket let out a explosion as it went out of control.
The pig squealed as it went out the window up into the sky also.
"If you find that turtle, tell him I'm sorry!!!!" I shout as it twinkled in the sky.
I rubbed my hands together before finally turning to the midget turtle.
"Now....time for you!" I said as we both stood there looking at each other.
Meanwhile the seagull was keeping up with the other two, now engaging it in a shootout.
I ran at the turtle as it jumped up in the air at me, and engaged me in hand to hand combat.
It was almost impossible to hit the thing as it was so god damn adorably small!
I jumped away from it puffing as it started to display its skills by giving me a demonstration of its fighting style
I then thought of an idea and quickly took out some bubblegum I had left in my pocket and secretly put it into my mouth and chewed fast.
When the turtle finished showing off, it smirked and charged at me once again.
I quickly though, spat out the bubblegum onto the ground which the turtle ended up getting stuck in.
"Score!" I said as the turtle tried to get out but failed to do so.
I walked over tot he empty shotgun and picked it up and stood next to the turtle, facing the window.
I held the barrel side of the shotgun and placed the handle down next to the turtle, like a golf club.
"Ok now...." I checked the wind and everything before preparing to wrack the turtle with the shotgun club.
As I looked down though, the turtle looked up with me with puppy (turtle) dog eyes.
"Awwww....so cute..." I said.
"Hey seagull! Can we keep this let guy?!"
The seagull at time was hiding behind a pillar during the shootout and all I could see coming out from behind it was its wing with that hand sign once again.
"Oh well..." I sighed as I turned back to the turtle, who I now saw sticking its finger up at me.
"OOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!!" Now you just wrecked everything didn't you?!" I said as I prepared myself and smacked the turtle with the shotgun full force, sending it out across the buildings.
"FORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I shouted after it "Let's see if turtles can fly now huh?!"
I throw the shotgun up onto my shoulder.
"Note to self, thank the writer for putting this empty shotgun here for comedic appeal..."
I smirked and walked over to one of the pillars. I looked at the seagull as it was still locked in its fierce shoot out with the donkey and rabbit.
"Think I'll leave this to him."
I sat down on the ground and watched them shoot at each other.
I then took a notepad left on the ground and the pen next to it and started to draw a picture, whistling to myself.
While I drew, the seagull ran from behind the pillar to another, while shooting.
The donkey started to run out at the same time and dived over to another pillar while shooting at the seagull.
The rabbit then took out a grenade and throw it at the seagull's pillar, destroying half of it.
"HEY! Quiet down while fighting will ye!?" I said as I caught the shotgun and threw it at the rabbit, heading it in the head.
It took up the shotgun and started to shoot only to realize it wasn't working.
"Oh sorry, that's empty" I said as I continued to draw.
The rabbit looked at it before looking ahead to see the seagull jumping from cover and tossing a grenade at the rabbit.
All that was left after the smoked cleared was the fluffy tail of the rabbit.
"That was a strong grenade??" I thought to myself.
The seagull stood up to find the donkey coming out of hiding and shot with its last few bullets.
The seagull quickly reacted by bending back while staying on his feet, dodging the bullets.
"Huh....I've seen that somewhere before..."
The seagull got back up and charged at the donkey.
The donkey threw its guns at the seagull but failed to hit it, as the seagull quickly made its way behind the donkey and roundhouse kicking it out the window, letting the donkey fall to its doom.
"Those windows are pretty convenient aren't they?" I said to the seagull as it looked down out the window.
The seagull turned and looked around the room, but could not see the pelican or his girlfriend.
It then wrote on its notepad, "Where are they?"
I'm sure they went out that door there.
I pointed to a door what said, 'stairway to rooftop'.
Bad guys usually end up running to the top see.
The seagull nodded and wrote on its notepad, "Ok then let's go!"
"Wait a sec, look at the picture I drew!"
I turned the notepad to the seagull and pointed.
"See, that's me, that's you holding hands with your girlfriend, and over here there's some small daisies and as you can see up there that's the sun and underneath that is the ocean and..."
The seagull smacked me with a tiny remain of the shotgun that was left and quickly ran ahead.
"Ouch....Hey!! Tech... No one ever appreciates fine art!"
I got up and ran out the door to a stairway going up.
I looked up to see the seagull dashing up.
"HEY! Wait for me!!" I said as I madly ran up the stairs after him.
Part 6
After a few minutes, we found ourselves bursting out a door, onto the rooftop of the building.
At the other side we found the pelican with the seagull's girlfriend.
Me and the seagull both took out a gun and pointed it at the pelican, who grabbed the girlfriend and used her as a shield while holding a gun to her head.
"Drop the gun you big beaked bastard!" I roared at it.
The pelican laughed and pushed his gun into the girlfriend's head.
"Argh...!" I said to myself, "What to do...!"
I kept staring over at the two of them, while the wind gusted violently in the air, and slowly took a deep breath.
"Hey pelican! Leave the girl go and you can have me! Got that?!"
They all looked at me in suprisement from what I said.
"There's no need to harm her if you got me now is there..."
The pelican looked at me as I put my gun on the ground slowly.
I kicked the gun along the ground and it stopped in the middle of the rooftop, a few feet past a noticeable rock on the ground.
"You leave the bird go got it and let her walk over too in front of you so you can't get shot at!
I'll walk over slowly with my eyes closed so I can't see her and try to grab her. If I don open then you can open fire got that!?
And if you shoot me as I walk over then the seagull will open fire!"
Are we clear!!?"
The pelican looked and smiled, nodding yes.
I looked at him and at the ground before putting my hands in the air, and closing my eyes.
"Ok! Here I come!
I began to walk over slowly.
The pelican left the seagull's girlfriend, go who began to quickly head towards her boyfriend, and pointed a gun at me.
I continued to walk slowly over listening to the girlfriend's footsteps as she passed me.
"Good..." I thought, and took another deep breath.
Before I started to walk over, I looked at the ground to lie myself up with the rock, so that my right foot would hit it.
I kept my feet low to the ground so that I would trip over it as I walked ahead.
The moment I felt the rock at my right foot, I fell with my eyes closed, but quickly throw my hands down onto the ground with my right hand grabbing the gun.
The seagull saw this and quickly grabbed his girlfriend and hide behind one of the small steel pillars sticking out of the ground.
I handstand and landed back on my feet. I immediately shot at the pelican who begun to fire back at me.
I quickly dodged the first two bullets, as I ran to my left over to a pillar, but the third scraped my ribs, cutting me.
I got into hiding just in time to check the cut.
Blood slowly started to drip out.
"Damn...!" I muttered and torn a piece of my top off, warping it around my waist to put pressure on the cut.
The pelican begun to shoot again as I hid.
I reloaded my gun, but as I did lights begun to shine up from the streets below and a helicopter came flying up shining a light right at me.
The wind from the blades and the light blinded me.
"This is the city police department..." Drop all of your weapons or we will open fire, I repeat drop all of your weapons or we will open fire!" A cop shouted through a microphone.
"Shit..." I said as I looked at them while the pelican continued to try and shoot at me.
"SORRY!! I'LL DROP THEM WHEN I'M DONE! BUT I'M A BIT BUSY HERE!!" I shouted back and ran from cover, shooting at the pelican.
The cops on the helicopter begun to open fire as I ran away quickly jumping over one of the air vents and hiding behind it.
The seagull came out of hiding and begun to shoot at the helicopter. The cops looked at the seagull and the pelican confused and begun to fire at them when they saw there guns.
All three of us begun to dash around, me and the pelican shot at each other while hiding from each other and the helicopter, while the seagull focused on the helicopter.
As I hid, I notice a can of petrol near the helicopter.
I looked away and sighed.
"Sorry guys if ye get hurt now but ye have to stay away..." I said before coming out of hiding doing a one handed cartwheel.
As I did this, I aim with the gun in my other hand and shot at the petrol can, causing it to explode.
I quickly took cover behind another air vent.
The cops felt the force of the explosion and one got hurt badly.
Due to the injured man, and running out of ammo, the cops from the helicopter soon returned back down to the ground to reload and treat the injured man.
Meanwhile, while the pelican was hiding, it found some strong rope and a heavy pipe and a small metal ball from the top of it.
It attached the rope around the pipe to one side and the small ball to the other and watched for me to make a move.
The moment I reloaded and came back out of hiding, the pelican throw the rope with the ball at me which warped around my left arm hurting it as it smacked off me.
The pelican then pushed the pipe off the side of the building.
Before I even knew what was happening, I fell onto my back and begun to slide towards the edge a past the pelican.
As I past the pelican however, I grabbed it by the leg and took it with me as we both fell over the edge.
We begun to fall fast...
The helicopter was about to make its way back up and was coming straight at us, although still a distance awhile.
I pulled the pelican down to me and twisted its wing so it couldn't fly.
Then I throw it straight down at the helicopter, but it caught onto the heavy pipe with its good wing.
I placed the hand with my gun just slightly above me before letting the gun go.
I quickly took out a knife and slowly teared at the rope cutting it off from the rest.
I unwrapped the ball and threw it at the pelican, but missed him.
I put away my knife and catch my gun above me.
I then took out my sword and stuck it into the building trying to slow down, while using my hurt arm to fire at the helicopter with my gun, trying to destroy the propeller.
Meanwhile the pelican hid under the pipe as I shot down so not to get hit.
I shortly had to reload, and during this time the pelican climbed up onto the pipe and dived through one of the windows back into the building.
"Damn lucky pelican!"
I quickly reloaded and begun to shoot at the helicopter which was getting nearer and nearer.
After constant shooting, I finally damaged the propeller and the helicopter begun to hove back down to the ground.
Even though I was slowing down as well, I was still going down faster then the helicopter whose propeller was still spinning fast.
"DAMN! FALL FASTER YOU PIECE OF METAL!!!" I begun shooting at it again hoping it will drop fast, which it started to.
But for some reason it stopped falling and started to hover.
"WHAT?! WHY THE FUCK AREN'T YOU FALLING!!??"
I tried to shoot at it but ran out of bullets so put my gun away and held onto my sword with both, hoping to slow down faster.
"SLOW DOWN! SLOW DOWN!! SLOW DOWN!!!!" I screamed as for once my heart begun to beat quickly, scared.
Holding on with both hands helped and slowly I slowed down before finally stopping, a few feet away from the spinning propeller, I could feel the wind from it in all.
I pulled myself up onto my sword standing on it; I took out my gun and threw it at a window below breaking it.
I back flipped off my sword, grabbing onto its handle and swinging to the side and taking it out from the wall, as I fell down into the window below.
Once I landed inside, I hid behind the wall so the cops couldn't see me and took a breather from what nearly just happened...
The wound started to hurt me as I stood there.
"Come on!" I said to myself and ran back up from the 21st floor up to the roof.
Once I got to the door of the roof, I stopped.
I opened it silently and looked out.
Straight ahead of my I could see the seagull, protecting his girlfriend, while the pelican held the seagull's gun in his hand across from them.
My eyes widen as I saw the hammer of the gun being pulled back.
I quickly burst out from the door and ran to the seagull.
The moment the shoot went off; I stood on front of the seagull and took the bullet.
"THINK FAST!!!" I roared at the seagull, as I fell on one knee and threw my knife at the pelican.
The pelican dodged the knife but was unaware of the seagull taking my sword from me, and it charged at the pelican thrusting it with the blade.
The pelican stood there looking at the seagull, as it took the blade out, before slowly dropping to the ground.
The seagull looked at the pelican until it closed its eyes.
The seagull quickly turned around to find me on the ground bleeding.
He and his girlfriend ran over to me.
He wrote on his notepad "Why did you take that bullet?"
"hehe...that's... a stupid question to ask..." I said.
"Couldn't leave...a cute couple die now...can I...?
"And besides...I want to beat you up for all those hair comments first before anything happens to ya, couldn't care then after that" I said with a small laugh but started to cough.
The seagull laughed as a tear dropped from its eye.
"Oh for fuck sake, don't you go start crying on me. Mr.Seagullnator"
"Ye better go before those cops get back up here, it won't be long you hear? Now go!"
As I said that my eyes slowly started to close.
All I remember seeing was the two of them shouting at me and also a bright shining light appearing behind them before everything went black...
Part 7
My eyes slowly opened...
I looked to my right to see a window opened slightly letting the wind blow the curtains.
It was clear and sunny outside.
I looked around at the room, it was bare and mostly green, with a small chair in the corner.
"Heh, didn't think the houses in heaven would be green empty rooms with a small chair in the corners."
Just then the door opened and a lady in white came in.
"Well at least the angels look nice, where the heck are you wings?"
The lady looked at me confused, before smiling...
She talked to me and told me what happened.
"WHAT!!??"
I was in hospital, still alive, from that wound and also from taking that shot.
"YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!?" I asked the lady, who was a nurse.
She smiled and said it wasn't a joke.
"Lady luck's smiling on me I bet then..."
She smiled again before heading back out.
"HEY! Have you a boyf...never mind..."
I sat there in the bed looking out the window, seeing birds pass by and every now and the seagulls.
"I bet I most be on top of the most wanted list in the animal kingdom by now." I said to myself
"Wonder where those two went..."
I spent the next couple of days in hospital.
My family came to visit during visiting times, bring all different treats and trying to ask me what the hell happened.
I refused to comment on it though, staying quiet...
3 days later after waking up, two men came into the room.
I looked at them before talking.
"Come to ask me about what happened?" I asked them
"How do you know we didn't come to just visit?" One of them replied back.
"Because its not visiting hours and they wouldn't leave anyone in besides those times except for like say...cops?"
The two of them laughed and they sat down, one on the bed, and one on the chair.
"What the hell were you doing up there on that building?" The guy in charged asked.
I looked away from him, looking out the window...
"You know you're in serious trouble, if you don't tell us why you will go to jail."
"Hmmm...." I quietly muttered.
The two sat there waiting, until I turned to face them.
"Ok..." I said.
The conversation went on for sometime.
I told them that 4 days ago, I went down to the area where I was told, before, that a bomb was suppose to go off, the story I gave them last time.
I told them I found a piece of paper there saying a bomb was about to go off on top of that building.
I snuck my way in to stop it as I thought no one would believe me, and made my way to the top.
When I was up on the roof I found out that there was no bomb.
Two punks then showed up dressed in a seagull and pelican costume and started to beat me up.
We ended up finding guns up there and started to shoot at each other.
They slowly got me though and shot me.
I paused for a minute coughing...
I told the two of them all this and before I could say another word they asked me another question.
"So you don't know what happen to those two did you? You were the only one up on the roof, although there was 3 guns on the rooftop with you.
"!?"
"I was the only one they found on the roof?" I thought to myself.
"What happened to the pelican then...?"
"Well" The guy in charged asked.
I looked at him...
"Oh...I don't know, I think they ran when they heard ye coming back up. That's what I would have done if I was one of them..."
The two looked at me before nodding at each other.
"Ok then..." "Well thank you for the info kid."
The two got up and left the room.
"Did they believe me?" I thought to myself...
I lied back on the pillow and relaxed.
"They got away in time...good..."
The next 2 days, a psychologist came in, asking me all questions, seeing as they thought I had some problem since this is like the second time in 2 weeks something like this happened.
Unfortunate for him, I was fine, so I gave him sarcastic and confusing answer which he could tell nothing from.
The next day that nurse came in telling me I was free to go.
I smiled and prepared myself on walking out.
As I walked to the exit, I saw the two cops standing there waiting for me...
I walked over slowly, thinking should I make a run for it, but knew that wouldn't help.
As I walked up to them, they looked at me, before one of them sticking out there hand.
"Take care of yourself kid, your free to go"
I looked at him before shaking his hand and walked out casually, back home.
The next week flew by as I lazed about at home, doing nothing really...
"So boring not dodging bullets and all that no more" I thought to myself.
I looked out the window again to that place where it all began.
I continued to stare at it, until finally I decided to head out, down there.
As I got to the area I looked around at it before slowly walking to the cliff and looking out at the ocean.
I listened to the waves as I stood feeling the sea breeze.
I turned to the tree and looked at it, before walking over.
I looked at where I found the note, but nothing was there.
For no reason though, I looked around the other side, finding a piece of paper stuck to the tree.
I laughed and took it off, sitting on the ground before reading it.
"Well if you found this then I should congratulate you, as I now know you have a brain under that 'homosexual' hairstyle."
"We took your advice when you closed your eyes and left, as we thought it might be best for you, if no one else found us.
"I took the pelican with me as well and buried it somewhere far away so don't worry about him again or anyone finding it."
"Me and my girlfriend decided to take a break and go somewhere else on vacation for awhile but before we went we checked to see if you were awake in the hospital from outside."
"One we saw you were fine we decided to write this as knowing that you will probably end up finding it sooner or later...later I would be thinking."
"Well there's not much else to say, besides this...
"Thank you..."
"Thank you for everything that you've done to help me get back with my girlfriend once again, I'm forever in your debt."
"So if there's ever a time you need help, just try to find me and I will help."
"Who knows anyway, chances are we might meet up again sometime, so if we do, be ready, as I know you'll want a fight haha"
"Well then, take care and best of luck from me and my girl..."
"Mr.Seagull"
P.S "We'll bring you back a nice hat for your hair ok?"
I looked up from the letter laughing...
"..haha....bastard...I'll get you"
I stared out at the sea again thinking of everything that happened.
I then put the note in my pocket but as I did, I felt that coin, the coin I flipped in the park.
I took it out the exact why I put it in and looked at the side that was facing into my leg.
I laughed...
"Haha!.....tails it was..." "Looks like lady luck was having abit of fun with me as well.
I smirked as I put it away and looked out at the ocean and sky, as I sat two seagulls flying off ot to the sea...
The End...
