A Stork's Journey Page #4

I knew that glittery green

schemer was up to no good!

You mean-a the parakeet?

I see him in-a big hurry.

He asked-a how to get

to the Sanremo Festival.

Weird little bird.

Whaaaaat?! He used us!

Sounds like you've been-a

had big-a-time, bambini.

Hey!

Richard!

Shush!

Wait... where are you going?

How could Kiki do this?

How am I going to reach my family now?

No, Oleg! Hold your beak.

It's time I straightened him out.

You know what, Richard?

Maybe this will teach you.

You're only in this mess 'cause you

won't accept what you really are.

I really am totally sick

of arguing this!

Fine! So then stop! Oleg, tell him!

As if Oleg really existed!

Leave him out of this, sparrow!

Oleg's just in your head! Got it?!

He's. Not. Real!

La-la-la-la-la-la!

Aaah!

Just great.

My father had it right!

Storks need to stay with their own kind.

I never should've followed you. Gah!

Fine! Go! Leave me!

I don't need you! I don't need anyone!

Oh, rats!

No. I will not follow him!

Ruffle your feathers

as much as you like.

Whose side are you on?

No, you listen, Mr. Do-gooder!

Whose fault is it

that I'm in this mess, huh?

You're nothing but trouble, Oleg.

I wish we never met!

Hm? Hm?

Where did you go?

Oleg?

Oleg!

Here! We love you!

What's that fragrance?

Why, it's the sweet smell

of superstardom!

First prize, here I come! Huh?

Who put this man-shaped mountain here?

Attenzione!

All songbirds to the roof

for the Sanremo festival!

Oh!

Why do bird events always

have to be high up?

One... wing in front of the... other.

Registrazione!

Registrazione for the

birdsong festival here-a!

It is showtime!

Somebody's got to know

the way to Africa around here.

Storks!

Hello?

Hello?

Anybody home?

Anybody?

They must be in Africa by now.

Aw...

Oleg!

Where are you?

I didn't mean it!

Come back!

Post!

- Share!

- Posting!

You guys gotta help me!

I'm looking for Oleg!

I lost him. I lost Richard.

I lost all my friends.

Wait! Aren't you that weirdo

owl we heard about online?

The one who was chasing a sparrow

- who thought he was a stork?

- Yes! That's me!

Uh... except for the "weirdo part".

That's-a you?

You're-a trending like-a mad! Plug in.

Yeah. We got-a the hi-speed cable.

Um, okay.

But... only for a second.

Hopefully somebody's seen my friends.

High speed! Life in the fast lane!

Told ya!

Okay, now let's find Oleg.

OMG! I got 3012 friend requests?!

Would you mind confirming

my friend request first?

Mmm?

Yeah! Mine too!

Sure! I'll confirm all of them!

- So many...

- Like!

- ...new friends!

- Post!

Mmm. This is it!

Your magic moment!

Welcome to the Sanremo Festival!

If only I had some friends

to cheer for me.

And-a now we open the show

with an all-time disco classic.

Oh, well, the show must go on.

It's the parakeet

with the tweet so sweet...

The stunningly gorgeous...

The breathtakingly beautiful...

- Koko!

- Oh! What?!

No, no, no! My name is...

- Performers only!

- That's what I am!

Oh, oh, please, please...

- Oh... no!

- Oh, my!

Mille grazie!

Mille grazie!

- I'm...

- Argh! It can't be!

- I have to get up there...

- Coming

- Ah-ah-ah!

- Out

But that's my song!

I'm coming

I'm coming out

I want the world to know

I got to let it show

There's a new me coming out

And I just had to live

And I want to give...

I can do this! Hmm!

...got to let it show

I'm coming out

I want the world to know

I got to let it show

- Go on!

- Yeah!

I'm coming out

I want the world to know

Got to let it show...

Attenzione, passengers!

Ferry departs to Tunis, Africa, Pier 12.

Oh, ferry to Africa... pfft!

This dreamboat's got

nothing left to twirl for.

Au revoir, fame!

Bonjour, oblivion!

Luigi! Everybody's at-a the cliffs!

A sparrow wants to fly

across-a da sea to Africa!

But-a that's-a crazy dangerous!

Great! Let's-a go!

Richard?

Oh! I've got to stop him!

Oh, I can't, I just can't!

But Richard needs me! Ah! Eh!

Here comes Kiki! Whoa! Whoa!

Oh, no, no, no!

It'll be all right, Richard!

Good job, little piggy!

Olga?! Oh! Oh!

For the love of Donna Summer,

what are you doing?

I'm tilling my virtual farm.

Leave her alone,

or I'll block-a your access!

# PeskyParakeet!

Oh... oh!

Re-post!

What have you done?

Let's find another hotspot, quick!

Dislike!

- Richard needs our help!

- You!

Why should I trust you?

You tricked me once already,

you deceitful, manipulative

superficial parakeet!

Richard thinks he can fly

across the sea all by himself!

But he'll never make it!

We go to stop him!

He left me, just like Oleg did.

Why should I care?

Because you're friends!

- Oh...

- Aw.

Richard needs you. It's true.

Ooh... ooh... ahh!

I'll break your groove-thing

if this is another one of your tricks!

Eat me alive if you want! Just hurry!

- Come on!

- I got you.

Man, you're heavy for a parakeet.

Said the giantess?

Whoa!

Hurry! That wacky sparrow's

a-gonna jump offa da cliff!

With those-a winds?

He's-a cuckoo!

I bet-a you three

herrings he goes-a splat.

- Huh?

- You're on!

- You can do it!

- Come on! Do it!

- Jump!

- Come on!

- Richard!

- Don't jump!

We had a bet!

Can't you see I'm busy here?

No, Richard! It will kill you!

- Yeah!

- Forgive me, please!

I know I've been despicable.

I beg you. Let me make it up to you!

- Jump!

- Do it, do it, do it!

I've lost Oleg already.

I can't lose you too!

There's a safe way across to Africa.

A ferry!

It's like a train that floats on water.

No. I am a stork!

Time I started acting like one.

Richard!

Just great.

See you big boys over the rainbow!

I bet-a you six herring

the green one chokes first.

- Spread your wings!

- I can't! I can't!

Heeeeere I cooooome!

- There they go!

- Ho ho, yeah!

- Pay up!

- Fine.

Are we going down or up?

We'll know if we crash and drown!

Oh?

Wow!

This is amazing!

Dazzle-tastic!

This is definitely going in my memoirs.

Too beautiful to stand!

Right, Oleg? Oh.

Mmm...

Oh, wow...

Oh...

Africa, here we cooome!

Look, a shooting star!

Everybody make a wish.

That is no shooting star!

And definitely not what I wished for!

Darnit, not again.

There's something on the scope.

Running on a plane

was not on my bucket list!

Stay together!

Olgaaaa!

Where is Olga?

Over there!

- Olga!

- We'll save you, darling!

Whoa!

We have to find somewhere to land.

In the middle of the sea?!

There! What's that?

An ocean liner!

Whoo!

I always wanted to learn

synchronized swimming.

Olga!

Darling!

No!

Oh!

Olga! Come on! Get up!

I know what to do!

First aid poster.

I stared at the thing for years.

Come on. Olga, come on!

Oh... oh...

It's... too late.

No.

Oleg?

Please...

Can you help her?

It's all my fault, and I'm sorry.

Please bring her back!

She needs you more than ever, Oleg.

Ah...

- Oh...

- Huh?

- Oleg? Is that you?

- Ha ha!

- Yes!

- All right, yes! You're back!

Whoa!

Eww! Oh...

This is the best gift I've ever gotten!
