Chapter Three: The Birdbrains Return

 

 

The lunch rush had just died down at the Pizza Cats' Restaurant, and they were taking advantage of the one-hour break to clean up, and rest their tired feet. The phone rang, and Speedy cringed, hoping it wasn't another order. He was already tired after dashing all over the city, and he could see that Polly was exhausted as well. He rubbed her shoulders gently, causing her to lean against him. Her blue eyes gleamed like the ocean, and he loved the way she smiled. She had a hot temper, but she was also stunningly beautiful, and a superb fighter. Most of all, she loved him, and he loved her, and always would. Francine picked up the phone, and said, “Speedy…It's Al Dente. He says he wants to talk to you.” Speedy and Polly both walked over to the phone, and Francine handed it to him. Speedy said, “What's up, Al?” Al Dente smiled on the small video monitor built into the phone, and said, “I just thought I'd call to let you know that Princess Vi is going to be throwing a royal wedding for you two at the Palace's Chapel, and she's arranged for the reception to be held in the Royal Ballroom. She's even arranged a feast in your honor tonight, and all your friends are invited. Best of all, she's arranged for your honeymoon on Paradise Island…” Polly gasped, then said, “P-Paradise Island?!! Y-You mean the Princess's Royal vacation spot? That's…wonderful…except that we'd never be able to afford it…” She looked down at the floor, and Speedy pulled her close, hugging her. Al Dente said, “Don't worry about the cost. Princess Vi said she'd take care of paying for any, and I do mean ANY, expenses that you rack up. She's ordered that you two are to be treated like royalty while there, and if anyone messes up, or upsets you, let her know, and she'll give them a one way trip to Prisoners' Island.” Speedy said, “Wow…this is great! The perfect wedding, the perfect reception and honeymoon, and a feast in our honor! Best of all, I'll be sharing it with the most beautiful cat on earth.” Polly hugged him, being careful not to squeeze too hard. Speedy hung up the phone, then Lucille came out of the kitchen. She said, “Francine, we're starting to run low on some supplies. I think a grocery run is in order.” Francine jotted down the needed supplies, then said, “Okay…who's up for the grocery run?” Speedy said, “That would be me, Francine. I'll be back shortly.” He took the list, then started for the door, but Polly was quick to join him. She said, “I'm going out with Speedy, Francine. We'll be back in…twenty minutes.” Francine and Lucille waved good-bye to their friends, then went back to their business.

 

Meanwhile, three of Cheese's Ninja Crows, the stupid, cowardly soldiers he used in his schemes, were flying above the city, trying to see if they could spot what the Pizza Cats were up to. One of them suddenly said to the other two, “Hey, there's two of them now. They're goin' into that grocery store, probably to buy stuff for their Pizza Place. Let's hide, then we'll nail `em when they come out.” The other two nodded, then flew down. One hid in a bush, the second one hid in a tree, and the third one perched himself on the stores roof. Inside the store, Polly was checking items off the list, as Speedy put them into the cart. Polly said, “Let's see…twenty sticks of pepperoni, check…fifty packs of soda and water, check…pizza sauce…check. Great! All we need now is some more salad dressing and croutons.” Within five minutes, Speedy had bolted from the meat department, down to the aisle where the salad supplies were kept, and Polly said, “Your speed never ceases to amaze me, Speedy!” Speedy smiled, and said, “Your beauty never ceases to amaze me, either, same with your strength, and your bravery.” They smiled at each other, then headed up to the registers. Speedy paid for the groceries, and they'd just walked outside, when Speedy heard a slight rustle in one of the trees. There was no breeze, so he said, “Polly, get ready…I think someone's tryin' to get the drop on us. I think I'll get the DROP on him, instead!” He threw one of his shuriken throwing stars, and it cut one of the tree's branches, and out fell a Ninja Crow, who was quickly hit by the falling branch. Polly unsheathed her claws, and Speedy pulled out one of his swords. Speedy said, “Okay, birdbrains…I know you're out there! Come out now, before Polly and I hunt you down and use your feathers as pillow stuffings!” One Ninja Crow hopped off the roof of the grocery store, and another one jumped out from behind a bush. The one that Speedy had knocked out of the tree got back up, but Polly bashed him in the head with her fist, dropping him again. The first Ninja Crow began going at it, sword-to-sword, with Speedy, while the other one was engaged in similar combat with Polly. Speedy quickly ended his fight, with a powerful crescent slash, which sliced clean through the blade of the Ninja Crow's sword. Polly slashed her claws across the other Ninja Crow's face, then hit him in the rear with one of her heart bombs. He screamed in pain, then the three of them ran off in defeat. Speedy yelled out, “HEY, BIRDBRAINS! WHEN YOU GET BACK TO CHEESE, TELL HIM HE BETTER NOT SHOW HIS FACE AROUND HERE AGAIN! WE'RE TIRED OF SMELLING HIS BREATH!!!” As the Ninja Crows flew away, one of them saw the banner that advertised Speedy and Polly's upcoming wedding. When they returned to their hideout, they were about to go in, when they heard Cheese screaming again. “ARE YOU SAYING IT'S MY FAULT THAT WE GOT EXILED IN THE FIRST PLACE?! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO MESSED UP AND LET THOSE PESKY FELINES FIND OUT ABOUT MY STEALING MONEY FROM THE ROYAL VAULT!!! AAARRRGGGHHH!!!” There was a flash of light, followed by an explosion, then Jerry Atrick went flying out of the cave. Two of the Ninja Crows helped him up, then they all went inside. Cheese had calmed down by now, and he said, “What happened to you three? You look like you got run over by a truck.” The head Ninja Crow said, “We ran into two of the Pizza Cats, boss. Speedy, and that hotheaded alleycat, Polly. They tore us up good when we tried to ambush them, but we did find out something useful.” Cheese said, “What would that be?” Jerry said, “I hope it's a cure for your breath…uh-oh…” Cheese screamed, “ARE YOU SAYING I DON'T BRUSH OFTEN ENOUGH?! WHAT ARE YOU, MY MOTHER?!!! AAAGGGHHH!!!” He went off again, and Jerry got his second flight lesson of the day. After Cheese finished pulling himself together again, the Ninja Crow said, “Speedy and Polly are getting married, and Princess Vi's throwing a city-wide celebration for them.” Cheese said, “Hmmm…that gives me an idea…Jerry, speed up work on the X-1000. I'm going to give those annoying hairballs a taste of their own medicine.” Cheese started to plan his attack against Speedy and Polly. Speedy and Polly had arrived back at the restaurant by now, and Guido and Lucille had given them a hand with putting away the groceries. They opened up for the late-day rush, and Good Bird put up a sign that read: “CLOSING EARLY TODAY…NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS WILL RESUME AFTER SPEEDY AND POLLY'S WEDDING. TODAY'S CLOSING TIME-4:00pm” The Cats and everyone else were overjoyed, and they could think of only one thing…how much fun they'd be having tonight.
