    Thank you to my mom and my teacher Ms.Marshburn for helping make my first book!

 Once upon a time there was a famous peacock named Kiki in a famous zoo and was there for two years! She was tired of getting stared at all the time. 

  When Anthony, the mean zookeeper, came in Kiki got an idea. She got agitated when he came close to the exhibit. Kiki heard his mean loud footsteps and SLAM he was inside with her. "Come now, time to eat. EAT!,"Anthony shouted as he threw her food. He said it so loud that the monkeys started a commotion. There it was a chance to bite him and distract him.

  She bit him really, really hard. "OW!" Anthony cried. Kiki made a run for the door, but Anthony closed it right before she got out! She pretended to retire for the evening and went to her den with her food. But right as Anthony opened the door she ran out! "HEY!" Anthony shouted after her.

  Kiki made her way to the office marked "ANTHONY'S OFFICE, KEEP OUT!" and ran in. She gazed at all the miserable animals in their cages that seemed just as miserable as her. She pressed as many buttons as she could until something happened. Suddenly, all the animal cages opened at the same time!

    When she stepped out it was so crazy! The pots were tipped over, people were screaming, and now she was wondering "Was this a good idea?"

     All the animals were going crazy. Just then a familiar voice called, "I know we've had our differences but I want to help you, after all I think your kinda nice."

    Kiki turned and saw Rob the rat. "Thank you so much Rob!" He made his way near the entrance of the zoo with Kiki close behind. It was so loud that it hurt Kiki's ears so much. She almost lost Rob. 

     Just then Anthony came, "Hey what are you do-" He was cut off when he saw Rob. Anthony chased Rob away leaving Kiki behind. She suddenly felt cold and sad. She was so close and now she lost her chance. How was she ever going to get out now? 

   Then she remembered she saw a map nearby. She had trouble finding it, but someone pushed her right to it. After studying the map Kiki found the entrance."Hey come back here! You're not going anywhere!" an angry voice said. 

    "Uh oh!" Kiki thought "I'd better make a run for it! Before Anthony catches me!"

    Fortunately a zebra ran into Anthony and knocked him down. "Ahhhhhhhh" he shouted. The zebra sent him all the way to the monkeys who were jumping, shouting and fighting!

   At last she was out! "YES!" Kiki said. She was out and free! She saw a beautiful beach for the first time on a perfect day at sundown! Then she noticed a group of peacocks, like her! Kiki felt so happy. She went to say hi but said "Can I please be part of your group?" she said excitedly.

    "Sure, you seem nice, we're glad to be your friend. We were looking for new friends because we were going to the beach. By the way I'm Belle. This is, Katie, Nancy, and Sunny." Belle said pointing to the other peacocks."What's your name?"

  "I'm Kiki," She said way too excited to have new friends and get out of the zoo in one day!  "Let's go to the beach it does seem nice."

    So in the end, they went to paradise and everyone lived happily ever after. Except Anthony of course. He had to clean all the poop for every animal every day! And as for Rob, someone picked him up and adopted the rat. 

    Kiki, Belle, Nancy, Katie, and Sunny, went to live in a peacock paradise together. A few months later Anthony quit his job to set out looking for Kiki to get revenge! Little did she know that she was going to have another great adventure with more surprises!

                                   THE END!
