Once upon a time, on a teeny-tiny island that looked like a potato floating in the middle of the sea, lived a very brave chicken named Cluckles.
Now, Cluckles wasn’t just any chicken.
She wore sunglasses.
She walked with a strut.
And she believed she could fly… even though the last time she jumped off a coconut tree, she ended up stuck in a hammock for two days.
One sunny morning, while pecking at seashells and humming the Chicken Dance, Cluckles heard a BOOM.
Then another.
And another!
BOOM. BOOM. Booooom—SNEEZE!
Cluckles froze. She looked around. “Who’s making all that noise? A thunderstorm? A marching band? A... a burping volcano?”
Nope.
Behind a giant palm tree, with smoke puffing out his nostrils like a sleepy tea kettle, sat a gigantic green dragon.
His name was Grizzle.
He had sparkly golden scales, a tail that curled like a cinnamon roll, and the grumpiest face this side of the sea.
But… he was crying.
Big, hot dragon tears. Which sizzled when they hit the sand.
Psssss! PSSSS! (The crabs were not happy about this.)
Cluckles tip-toed over (which is hard when you only have three toes).
“Um… hi,” she said. “You okay, Scalypants?”
Grizzle sniffled. “I sneezed and set my own hammock on fire. Again.”
“Ohhh,” said Cluckles. “That’s tough, buddy. I once sneezed and scared myself so badly I hid in a coconut for three hours.”
Grizzle blinked.
Then he laughed.
And that’s how it started.
Cluckles and Grizzle became the best of friends.
They roasted marshmallows with his fiery breath.
They played beach volleyball (Grizzle was terrible at it, but he made a great net).
Cluckles taught Grizzle the chicken dance. Grizzle taught Cluckles how to puff smoke rings shaped like pineapples.
They even built the first ever “Egg-n-Dragon Smoothie Stand” — though business was slow because, well, they were the only two on the island.
But they didn’t mind.
Because when a grumpy dragon and a bold chicken team up?
The island gets a lot noisier, way sillier, and a million times more fun.
And if you ever float near Coconut Crater Island, listen closely…
You might just hear the sizzle of roasted marshmallows…
The sound of flapping wings (and crashing chickens)…
And a dragon laughing like a kettle full of giggles.
The End.
