Chapter Five
If Mommy or Daddy finds me, they'll be so mad! I thought, still hiding behind the toy. What now?
Suddenly, fledging didn't seem so fun.
I looked up. The box was far up above. I couldn't reach it, and I wasn't very good at climbing the bars either. Maybe Mommy won't notice me missing when she goes into the nest box.
The thought made me sad, though. Polly will be fledging soon, maybe he will be able to help me, I thought to make me feel better.
I saw Daddy fly up to the nest in a flurry of feathers. I ducked as he slid inside.
He was feeding them. I suddenly realized how hungry I was. I considered giving myself away on purpose, but what if they were so mad they wouldn't want to feed me?
Daddy flew out, and went to preen with mommy. From their quiet murmurs, I didn't think they noticed. For now.
I realized I had to do something or I'll starve. I considered climbing the bars, but it would make enough noise for Mommy and Daddy to hear.
It was getting late. I decided to just stay where I was for now. Maybe things would be better in the morning. I don't know who I was trying to trick, things probably wouldn't be different at all in the morning, but it made me feel better, so I liked it.
My stomach churned on nothing as I tried to sleep. Mommy and Daddy were on their perches, and the rest of the chicks were in the box. Everything was quiet. Everyone but me was sleeping. Everyone but me was sleeping... I fell asleep with that on my mind.
Suddenly, my eyes burst open. Everyone but me was sleeping! I stole a cautious glance at my sleeping parents, and began the scramble up the bars.

Awww... Spring is cute!
It snowed here today. I want a snow day, especially since I haven't done my math homework.

Chapter Six
Discouraged, I fluttered my wings as I fell off my fourth attempt to climb the bars.
I stared at them. They seemed to be laughing, making fun of me. Well! I looked closer. There was a pattern. If I put my foot here and gripped it tight enough, I could put my other foot there and it wouldn't slip because of the horizontal bar holding it up...
At the end, I was very pleased with my plan. Here we go. Take five.
I put my foot where I planned for it to go. So far so good. I gripped it as hard as I can. Gingerly, I lifted my other foot and gripped the bar.
Next foot... All was well.
I had gone up half the distance up to the box, but it was high and the cage was big.
"Hey!" I heard a sharp chirp from the box. I was so afraid someone saw me, I fell off the bars.
Ow! I thought, as I landed. Annoyed, I ruffled my feathers.
My landing was quite loud. Mommy and Daddy woke up and looked around, to go to sleep again. The human somehow heard it too, for he came rushing up to the cage rather sleepily.
Suddenly, there was a very bright light flashing on. I narrowed my eyes just enough for me to see.
Peering in, he somehow saw me. He opened the cage door.
Mommy and Daddy flew around the cage in alarm. I opened my eyes wide as the hand stooped down and picked me up. As it did, Mommy saw me. She stared at me.
I squawked my complaints to the human. How rude of him! I could have gotten up eventually, I knew I could! Who was he to mind my business?
Ignoring me, the human went up some stairs and opened a door.
"It's too late for feeding chicks," He muttered, and put me in a box
"Let me out!!!" I shrieked.
I was ignored.
"Birdnapper!"
He apparently didn't care.
"Who do you think you are, horrible human?!?"
I was ignored even more.
I couldn't see out of the box, and the human could have gone to another room for all I knew, so I just squawked quietly to myself a bit, and went to sleep.
Sleep wasn't much better. Mommy and Daddy were in my dreams.
"You were a bad chick today. A very bad chick," Daddy said.
"Yes. You were too bad," Mommy agreed, "The good thing is that it will never happen again."
"Yes! It won't ever happen again!" I screamed desperately.
Daddy nodded, "It won't."
"Because you won't be living here anymore," Mommy finished.
"No!!!" I woke with a start.
Mommy had seen me. What would happen now?
