The Wild Life Page #3

Synopsis: On a tiny exotic island, Tuesday, an outgoing parrot lives with his quirky animal friends in paradise. However, Tuesday can't stop dreaming about discovering the world. After a violent storm, Tuesday and his friends wake up to find a strange creature on the beach: Robinson Crusoe. Tuesday immediately views Crusoe as his ticket off the island to explore new lands. Likewise, Crusoe soon realizes that the key to surviving on the island is through the help of Tuesday and the other animals. It isn't always easy at first, as the animals don't speak "human." Slowly but surely, they all start living together in harmony, until one day, when their comfortable life is overturned by two savage cats, who wish to take control of the island. A battle ensues between the cats and the group of friends but Crusoe and the animals soon discover the true power of friendship up against all odds (even savage cats).

that is a fact.

Fine, then do like I ask,

and stay out of sight.

They're proof that there's

another world out there

and I'm going to find out

whether they're friend or foe.

You really don't get it, do you?

That was close!

Ok, let's give this a go, one last time.

Did you see that Aynsley!

I did it, I hit the mark!

Let's go fix something to eat, old boy.

That was a miracle,

I'd never thought I'd hit it.

Well. I can hit something after all.

I was starting to wonder

if everyone wasn't right,

the new world was finally here,

and I had no idea if

I was ready for it or not.

Tapir's ready as I've ever seen.

Go for the throat, let's make this quick.

Wait, the human!

I can't do it boy.

Go on!

Go!

What now?

Sorry pal.

I've never shot anything before,

why don't we try fishing.

What's burning?

That would be me.

You smell like bump biscuits.

Something is coming.

Looks like Rosie was here, that's strange,

Rosie never leaves any food behind.

Would you prefer light or dark

meat for lunch, darling?

I prefer... Dog!

Ready to get even, ratter!

Hold Aynsley, I'm coming,

those blasted ratters,

they did survive after all.

I'm hit!

Run for it!

Good dog!

You're alright old boy?

Did you I hear that?

Over there!

It's a bird, a beautiful parrot.

Strangely, that's what all the fuss was about.

The ratters went after the bird.

You did good old boy, and you,

we're gonna fix you up straight away.

Look Aynsley, a ring!

That can only mean one thing,

sailors have sail for this island before.

I believe there's hope for us after all.

You can come out guys,

there's no one around.

It's too dark, I can't see a thing.

This is the very spot where

that sea monster attack me.

Well, sort of.

I've almost.

We shouldn't have let him go alone.

Maybe he's molting.

That's a bit of a stretch Pango.

Just wait 'till I get my hooves on them!

Anyway you look at it, this is not good.

Mac can't be gone.

What's that?

And who are you two?

Just two homeless castaways,

we were held captive

by that human for months

with nothing to eat but

the crumbs from his table.

What about our friend?

Did you see him by any chance?

It's a true tragedy, alright.

An unfortunate turn of events.

You see we caught.

We saw the hosting.

Well, come on, let's hear it.

What are you waiting for?

We'll tell you what

happened to your friend.

For I'm warning you, it ain't pretty.

You see, the human loves to eat birds,

and I'm afraid your friend got...

trapped.

This should only take a minute,

It's just dislocated.

But. it's going to hurt, a bit.

Don't worry.

Youll feel better in a day or two, though

you won't be able to fly right away.

Well then, I suppose you'll need name

if you're gonna stay here for a while.

Let's see, by my reckoning today is Tuesday,

that's a good a name as any, mate.

Can you say, Tuesday.

T u e s d a y

Well, not quite, but that's a start.

Take care of our new friend, boy.

I'd better offload as much stuff as I can.

There's no telling how much

the ship will stay in one piece.

They're nothing but cannibals!

Murderers.

I say we run him off our island,

drive them monsters back into the sea!

Perhaps a plan might be to

force them to live on curse island.

Oh, yes, yes, yes.

Curse Island.

What exactly is Curse Island?

The end of the earth mate,

no one's ever made it back from there.

Yeah, there's nothing there but bugs.

Lots and lots of nasty bugs!

Sounds purrrfect,

drive them to Curse island.

That's not gonna work.

You have a better idea?

No.

Right, so then, where were we?

Stop your flapping about bird.

You need to be resting that wing of yours.

What do you want from me?

I just want to talk.

Me name is Aynsley,

and for what I understand,

yours is Tuesday.

Call me whatever you want,

except dinner.

Dinner?

We're not going to eat you,

we saved your life.

Either way, you don't make much

of a meal.

Not like a fat, juicy turkey

sweetheart back at home.

What?

Relax.

My master likes you.

You said, your master?

You did not think that I.

I like you, you're funny.

I've never seen a bird like you in England.

England.

Tell me more Aynsley.

Well buddy, England, my island.

Just one fantastic place

in a sea of many lands.

I knew it!

Crusoe wants to explore them all.

If we ever get off this one.

You know, you're the first to come

from the outside world.

Oh dear,

that's not good news.

Hey, hold on a second,

we're all dress up like this because?

Because you look fierce,

now get your heads in the game everyone.

We have the perfect opportunity,

the dog and that bird are still on the ship.

Right.

Listen up!

Here's the plan,

we'll deal with the hairy beast on the ship.

The rest of you.

Go for the human on the beach.

What is sheep?

That wooden thing on the beach.

As soon we're on the ship,

"the wooden thing".

You attack!

Alright then, fierce, fierce, fierce!

So, I'm a fierce coconut?

But I should go tell my

friends that I'm ok.

You better stay put,

you're in no condition to fly.

Well, look at this.

We can kill two birds with one stone.

There's two birds now?

Oh, shut it, just follow my lead.

Look, look! That's him brothers.

He's wearing Mac like a trophy.

That is so wrong!

Attack! Let's get them.

Aynsley, we gotta go.

What's going on out there.

They've all got mad.

It appears as your friends have

come to avenge your death.

I'm not dead!

Oh, we're gonna take care of that

right now.

Aynsley!

Help!

Aynsley!

Help!

Come on down there and fight!

Aynsley!

Twist it!

Hold on, that sounded like.

Mac!

Aynsley!

Mac, get out!

Kiki!

Mac!

I'm coming boy!

Rotten cats!

You are to blame for all this!

Gotta leave the ship, mate!

Aynsley!

Go!

What's happening here?

I thought Mac was dead.

We all did, but I don't

think he made it this time.

That would be horrible.

Come on guys,

we better move back now.

Oh no, Aynsley, what have I done.

Land.

Land!

We're safe mate,

I thought we were goners.

Oh, will you just shut up!

What's that noise?

That would be bugs.

Bugs!

Curse Island!

Rest in peace old boy.

Tuesday.

Mac!

Kiki!

Mac, you're hurt!

I'll be ok.

I'm sure glad to see you.

I was worried.

Me too.

Come on, now is your chance to get away

I can't.

Well, let me help you.

No, no, no, I, I just...

I don't, want to get away.

What?

You don't understand,

is all those cats fault.

What do you mean.

They attacked me, he fixed my wing.

And his dog gave his life to save me.

I can't leave him now.

Oh, I see.

So, he's going to take care of you?

Look, he's gonna need my help to survive.

I owe him that.

Exactly, how do you plan on doing that?

I mean, look at him.

Tuesday!

Help!

I don't believe it,

those cats used us and Mac as well,

and what do we do?

We attacked the human.

Hold on, then.

So, what you're saying

is Kiki's debrained fault on this.

Oh, fatal.

That's not fair,

we all thought Mac was dead.

Didn't we?

Oh, this is not good, mate.
