Free Birds Page #4

Synopsis: After years of fruitless warning of his farmyard brethren of the coming Thanksgiving doom, Reggie the Turkey finds himself spared as the annual Pardoned Turkey. However, Reggie's easy life is disrupted by Jake, a fanatic turkey who drags him along with the insane idea of going back in time to make sure turkeys are not part of the first Thanksgiving. Through foolhardiness and luck, the pair manage to take an experimental time machine to do just that. Now in 1621 at the Plymouth colony, Reggie and Jake find themselves in the middle of a turkey clan's struggle for survival. In doing so, their preconceptions of the world and themselves are challenged forever in a conflict from which the world will never be the same.

Ah!

Contamination detected.

Freeze that image, soldier!

- What's the problem?

- Turkeys, sir.

Chrononaut One,

get out of there now!

Oh, thank you, thank you.

Help me, help me,

please help me!

Wait, wait, wait, wait! Ah!

New chrononaut detected.

Engaging posterior restraint system.

Setting, supple.

No, no, no, no!

Help me!

- I am not going out there.

- I'm not going out there.

- I'm definitely...

- Sorry, bro.

- Two weeks from retirement.

- Good luck!

Ow! My foot!

Oh...

Ah!

Huh? What's going on? Help! Ah!

- Help me! Please take my hand!

- Calm down.

Get me out!

Ah!

What have we... done?

Please help me.

Greetings, I am S-T-E-V-E.

S. T.E. V.E. Your Space Time

Exploration Vehicle Envoy.

Hello, S.T.E.V.E., I am J-A-K, Jake.

- And this is R-E-G, Reggie.

- Where are we?

Nowhere and everywhere.

The space between time

where the past, present

and future intersect.

Obviously. Now, take us

to the first Thanksgiving.

- Destination, set.

- No, no, no!

Activating Chrononaut safety bubble

to shield from possible side effects.

Side effects? What side effects?

Side-effects may include

accelerated aging...

I'm cold.

Rapid evolutionary regressions.

Erratic physical mutation

into an adorable baby dragon.

Or an octopus, a king crab,

a pony, the sasquatch.

Ah!

I hope you've enjoyed

your time travel experience.

- Ow...

- Please hold on for re-entry.

- Oh-ah-ah!

- Whoo-hoo!

Oh... Oh, boy.

Welcome to Plymouth Colony, 1621.

Three days before

the first Thanksgiving.

We did it! We went back in time.

Reggie, come out here.

You're gonna love this!

Sure, why not.

Ow!

Ah! It even smells old.

May I recommend some light stretching.

Great idea, S.T.E.V. E...

Pecs, glutes, pecs, glutes, pecs,

glutes, pecs, glutes, pecs, glutes.

- Ew!

- Pec, pec, glute, glute.

Whoo! Ah! Let's go, Reggie.

Activating security cloaking

mechanism during solar recharge.

Wait, no, S.T.E.V.E.!

S.T.E.V.E.! S.T.E.V.E.!

S. T.E. V.E.?

S. T.E. V.E. 's not here, man.

I'm laughing,

but that's not funny, S.T.E.V. E...

This conversation is taxing

my power reserves.

- Shutting down.

- What? No! No, no, no, no!

Reggie, south is this way.

Sun rises in the north.

Wait, I can't stay out here

back in the food chain.

Finally, some me time.

I've reconned the area.

We are all alone.

This is a bad idea.

This is a real wild forest.

It's probably full of crazy,

bloodthirsty monsters.

If anything happens to me,

it's on your head.

Trust me, we're perfectly safe.

Ah!

Jake, Jake! Oh, no, no!

Ah!

No, just... Another one!

Please, please I beg you.

Please don't eat me.

- End of the line for you.

- I'm dead, I'm dead!
