Chick Cheapy

Chick 1 Cheapy is the youngest of the Cheapy clan, which was mostly destroyed during Mistybane 2014. His real name is Chick, but everyone calls him Chick 1 because he wears a shirt which says 1. Chick 1 is a police intern who lives in the Gautamtown Police Station with 3 of his 5 siblings, Chicke (3), Chicki (4), and Chicko (5), as well as the Chief of Police Moo. He lives inside the mountain in what they call the "Pit", a large deep pit in a cave with an entrance into the police station, the pit is lined with comfy paneling and the floor is covered in carpet, with a couch, TV, Chick 1's crib and the other chicks' beds + all of Chick 1's toys.

Chick 1 Life Synopsis: Chick 1 was the last of his siblings to hatch. The second-youngest baby penguin, Chick 2, was born 3 months before him, and Chick 6, the oldest, was born 6 months before him. His mother, Minerva Cheapy, was the chieftess of Rushchick before it burned down in Mistybane and killed all of the rest of their family. She had six eggs, and five hatched in time. There was still 1 egg, and it was long overdue. Finally in July of 2015 under the hot sun over Rushchick Ruins National Monument, there was a tiny crack, and the next day an adorable tiny baby penguin came out. The siblings looked excitedly as the baby came out. It rolled out of its egg and went to its mother, who loved it and took care of it as much as she could.

Chick 1 was smaller than any of his siblings. They were all much older and could already fish. Mama taught them, but she told Chick 1 to stay in the hut. Poor Chick 1 wanted to join in, and he saw the others diving. He had eaten a little fish when he hatched the previous day, but the baby wanted to catch them for himself, Chick 1 has always wanted to do what his siblings do.

He crawled out, his little feathery pom-pom body barely 3 cm long. He shot towards the river and looked at them with his eyes glowing golden with excitement. He flapped his wings very hard, but it did not work; he could not lift himself off the ground. Then he began to fly, two centimetres up, he flapped as hard as he could.

The next week, his mother had become terribly sick. She could not fish, and the other babies had gone to get her herbs. Chick 1 thought maybe he could fish! He hadn't been able to before, but Chick 1, despite his cuteness, has always been a persevering and ambitious baby. He lifted himself 1 cm but fell in the river. Since he was only 1 inch, he could not swim against the rushing current. Chick 5, who saw a tiny crying thing in the river, went to investigate and saw it was his newborn baby brother. He dived to save him, but he was swept in as well. Chick 3 caught them, and Chick 4 caught Chick 3, holding onto a rock with his wings. He, too was pulled in, but just in time Chick 2 grabbed them. Just then a wave hit Chick 2, and she was launched into the river. Chick 6 caught Chick 2, but they looked in sadness as their four brothers were swept away down the river.

Chick 1 would surely not survive, but his brothers made a cluster around him, penguins do it to keep the babies warm. Chick 1 was still cold, but he was feeling better and would survive. "A boat!" shouted Chick 3, and Chick 4 began to flap as hard as he could, lifting Chick 1 into the air as the ship sliced the water where the hatchling was 1 second ago. Chick 1 began to cry being very overwhelmed, but Chick 4 held onto him tight as Chick 3 and 5 swam around the little whirlpools the boat made. The boat waved the banners of Tanishatown, and on it was a dragon, a very scary dragon. Chick 1 began to cry again. Chick 4 tried to figure out what it was that was making him cry, but just then he saw two shapes rocketing towards the ship - Chick 2 and 6!

He tried to wave to them to stop swimming, but they could not see the ship through the deep water of the Hallwaie Strait. Chick 5 and 3 swam to them, but were blocked off as the ship nearly hit the other two penguins, making a current which swept them along into Seashockers Bay. "No" yelled Chick 5, but he had no choice; they had to save Chick 1. Chick 4 could not flap for more than a minute, and holding Chick 1 made him twice as tired. He fell, splashing with a huge plume of water into the sea and becoming stunned. Chick 3 went to get him, and the little pom pom was still falling, streaming tears and yelling "Mama! Buthers!" Chick 5 dove to save him, clutching him in his wings and swimming through the water, trying not to look down into the murky depths. Chick 3 and 4 followed closely, looking out for sea dragons, and they swam and swam and did not stop until they saw a deeper drop in the seafloor. They swam back in surprise. They did not know this, but they had arrived at Poly Inlet, the largest water in Mistui. "It's shallow over there," said Chick 4, recovering from his stunned state. "More shallow than here." he pointed to a stone reef in between two mountains. "I don't know," said Chick 5, nervous. "It could be dangerous, there are boats." "That means people," said Chick 3, "right? They can help us." Chick 5 thought about it, and looked in his wings at the whimpering baby pom-pom rolled up in his wings, looking up at him as if Chick 5 was his only hope of survival. Chick 5 realized Chick 1 would die if he made the wrong decision. He heard the roar of a distant sea monster somewhere, the horns of a ship docking at some big city on the coast of the inlet, and people clamoring as they charged and killed a bandit group; Chick 5 looked at the calm and peaceful bay. "Cove it is," said Chick 5. They arrived in the cove, thoroughly tired after their encounter with the boat. They found that the brown-sand beach was lined by a thick pine forest, and beautiful mountains surrounded the valley. They placed the little hatchling on the sand and he went to sleep. The other three hauled themselves up and collapsed as well.

In the morning, the baby was wide awake while the other three were just waking. He had gone to get little seeds from the ferns on the forest edge and was waddling around on the beach. There were six ships all waving the flags of a pineapple, but there was no one about. They got up and nibbled the seeds Chick 1 had got. They wondered where their other two siblings were. They stayed on the beach for most of the day,
