Butter Scotch, a Buff Orpington, one of Maizie's best friends died. She died from the cold. It rained and stormed. Everyone was very unhappy. The flock watched as the young girl who went by the name "Sarah" and the man who went by the name "John" burried Butter. Maize had now learned the English language, so she could understand almost every word Sarah and John had said. Sarah had worked with her. Sarah could understand Maizie's cocking movements. She almost knew what Maizie had tried to say. Life seemed like it was getting better for Maize, besides for the death of her friend. Maize had deep thoughts as she had watched her dead friend, lay movelessly, next to the hole being made. Maizie didn't understand how no one else had died, from the terrible cold. Perhaps just the breed?

After a long sad hour, Sarah picked up Maizie's friend and set her in a cardboard box, that was filled with grass and pine needles. She put a lovely flower on top of her, then call the flock over. They all ran to the box and looked in. Maizie's eyes sagged, when she got up close to the sight of the lifeless body. Lacey, a Laced Wyandotte, Maizie's friend, looked down at the body, standing right next to Maizie. Sarah pushed us away, then took one last look, before closing the box. She slid a letter to God into the box, then taped it closed. That was it. The flock would never see their old friend again.

Sarah put the box into the hole, that her father, John, had dug. He shoveled the dirt back on top of the box, and pat it down. He and Sarah walked into the human house, while the flock walked into the coop. Lacey and Mazie sat in the pine shavings, quite disturbed with what just happened that day. Maizie's heart sank as she thought of the loss of her beloved friend. After a while of thinking about what just happened, she slowly dozed off.

Maize and Lacey woke up. They went down the ladder, and to the waterer and feeder. Maizie sipped the water. Her eyes sagged, as well as Lacey's. Lacey ate. After a minute or two, they switched. Maizie ate, and Lacey drank. Matt, Maizie's mate, came over to her with their chicks- Isabella, Sophia, Stella, Max, and Hassen. They are all about a month old.
"Why are you so sad?" Isabella asked her mother.
"A friend has......" She paused. "Moved away." Maizie didn't want to dissapoint her chicks.
"Oh... Hi Miss. Lacey!" Isabella changed the subject.
"Hello, Isabella." Lacey looked at the soon to be pullet.
"No, call me Bella!" She grinned.
"Okay then, Bella." She laughed.
Isabella jumped with joy. "See Mommy? I told you I would get someone to call me Bella!!"
"You sure did. But isn't Isabella a much lovelier name?"
"I guess so... Miss. Lacey, you can call me Isabella."
Lacey chuckled. Lacey trotted off with her new mate- Alexander.
Maizie, Matt, and the chicks went off to look for bugs.
"Mommy! I getted a buggie!" Stella cheered.
"Isn't that great! Eat it."
"Okay." Stella gobbled up the bug. "The buggie I eated is yummy very!"
She laughed. "Isabella, Sophia, Max, Hassen, go find yourself a bug, but stay close!"
The chicks trotted off.

“When are they going to be back Mommy? I'm bored...” Stella complained.
“I don't know, but we better keep looking. I'd hate to loose one of them.” Maizie replied.
Stella and Maizie continued to walk. “Bell!! Sophie!! Maxy!! Has!!”
“Peep!” A sound came from behind the bushes.
Stella grinned and ran off.
“Get over here, Stella!”
“Peep!” The same sound came from the bushes. “M-m-m-mommy? H-help us-s-s!!!”
“Where are you guys?! MATT!!! DANIEL!!! LACEY!!! BUTTER!!! B-b-butter... Butter Scotch?”
“What is going on?!” Daniel, a Black Breasted Red Old English Game Bird, the head rooster called from a tree.
“I lost my babies! Please help me, Daniel!”
Matt came running up to Maizie from out of no where. “What happened?!”
“I don't know where the children ran off too! The last peep I heard from them was 'Help us!'.” Maizie panicked.
“They'll be alright. You stay here, I'll go and get Grace.” Daniel assured them.
Soon enough, Daniel arrived with his mate, Grace. Grace, Daniel, Matt, and Maizie started to look for the children.
“Ah!!!!!!!!!” A scream came from a moving bush.

Maizie and Matt ran to the bush, and nearly fainted. The layed there unconsious. Daniel and Grace pushed them away, and ran into the bush. There was a raccoon. The raccoon stood there, and tortured the chicks. They were shocked and frightened.
"Oh, good to see you joined my feast. Please, sit next to the appetizer, you will be my entre`." The raccoon welcomed Danny and Gracie.
"No! Give me the chicks!" Danny snapped.
"Oh, you mean my appetizer? No, no... I need to eat. They will have to make do, until I get my paws on you."
"Your paws won't touch us! Give me the chicks, NOW."
"No!" He grabbed Isabella and shoved her in his mouth.
"Spit her out!"
"No." He mumbled. Peep noises came from his mouth.
Gracie grabbed the other chicks and took them back to the coop, then came back and dragged Matt and Maizie back. Gracie, Maizie, Matt, Stella, Hassen, Max, and Sophie scurried into the coop and panicked.
"NOW!" Daniel scolded.
"It's either you, or the chick! I'd much prefer you, since your much bigger." He mumbled while peeps came out of his mouth.
"Give me Izzy!"
"Oh, so now her name is Izzy? I thought it was Isabella and Bella..."
He dug his spurs into the raccoons stomache.
"Oh, oh, oh... You asked for it, Danial!" He swallowed Isabella. Peep noises came from his stomache, as he went after Danial.​

"Mommy? He swallowed me whole." Isabella giggled in the raccoons stomach. "This place is empty... You must be hungry Mr. Raccoon Man!"
Danial and the raccoon froze.
"Isabella?" Danial said cautiously.
"Ya?" She giggled as she poked the raccoons stomach.
"Ouch!" The raccoon yelled.
"Are you okay, Izzy?" Danial asked Isabella.
"Uh huh."
"I'm gonna get you outta there."
"Yay!"
"Oh... No you won't!" The raccoon pranced at Danial again.
He fell to the ground, passed out.
