Chapter 7

(You can barely see little Victoria peeking out from on top of the books!)







“You should of seen it, you should of seen it! Victoria got free and flew all the way to the top of that bookcase and stayed there like forever! They couldn’t get her! She’s awesome!”

“Really? I missed the whole thing! Why didn’t you wake me up?”

“I-yahn, you need your naps pretty bad. You know that.

“Okay, that’s true Tamara. But then what happened? I can see that she’s back in there with Cynthia.”

"Yeah, she finally flew down to the cages because she was hungry and Apron Lady caught her with the net. But I know Victoria let her catch her because she flies way too good to be caught. Oh, excuse me a sec guys, someone in the Big Cage has a message for me.”

"Okay Ra, anyway, and Victoria also knew that Cynthia was worrying and also lonely and scared. Cynthia isn’t flying so good yet."

"Why?"

"I don’t know. We’ll have to ask Mr. Head Spa to ask Jamie to ask Fenton to ask Victoria to ask Cynthia.”

“Guys! Hey! WAIT! I have much huger news! There is another bird in the Big Cage also named Ion! Except it’s not a sparrow it’s a blue jay! This is so WEIRD!"

“What?”

“2 Ions?”

“Yeah. That’s what I just said”

(Ion immediately curls up in a basket and falls into a deep and restful sleep.)

“Oh Ra, you really are too much with your jokes. Now look at the poor little guy"

"IT’S NO JOKE!"

"SH!"

"it’s no joke! There is seriously another Ion over there. Grace translated from Joe the Robin. See, the guy who rescued our Ion also rescued that Blue Jay named Ion and the ladies name us birds after the people who rescue us.”

“You mean, our parents didn’t name us Tamara and Ra?”

“I guess they didn’t. Oh! Tamara don’t cry! It’s okay, whatever your name was before, your parents loved you a lot for sure. And maybe we can try to remember what they named us too. We remember being in the nest, so we may be able to remember our names too.”

“o…kkkkkk…ay Ra. That’ll be fffffff…..un. Ra or whatever your real name is, you really are my best friend.”


“You’re my best friend too Tamara, or whatever your real name is. Look there’s room in Ion’s basket for us too. Let’s go take naps.


Kkkkkk…ay.
