In the heart of the Friendly Forest, the bonds of family and friendship continued to grow stronger. Vanessa and Mike’s romance had its ups and downs, but their love and commitment to each other always prevailed.

Samantha, Vanessa's daughter, found herself struggling with the new   dynamics in her life. Some of her friends at school didn’t understand why Mike, a gorilla, was now   part of her family. They teased her, saying hurtful things about her mother’s   relationship. "How can your mom be with a gorilla? That's so weird!" Leo lion would say, laughing. Samantha felt torn between standing up for her family and wishing   everything was simpler.

??? :( 

Who's the Gorilla? Weird...

 No hard feelings.

Samantha didn’t really like Mike at first because she felt like he was trying to   replace her late father, Max. Moreover, she remembered an incident when Mike was careless during a game, and Vanessa got slightly injured. Even though it   wasn’t her responsibility, Samantha felt that if her mother got hurt again, she  would have to bear the emotional burden. This made her wary and cautious   around Mike. She also felt that Mike didn’t understand her; he tried to be   helpful, but he often missed the mark. He’d plan outings that didn’t interest her or give advice that felt out of touch with her feelings. Despite his efforts, Mike   could be a real pain in the butt, always trying to insert himself into situations   where Samantha felt he didn't belong.

Please understand me.

Determined not to let stress or drama stop her, Samantha poured herself into her passion for flying. She joined a flying club and began   training rigorously. Despite the teasing and bullying, she focused on   her dreams, knowing that her father, Mad Max would have wanted her to soar high.

BELIEVE to ACHIEVE!!

The bullying at school intensified. One day, a group of older birds cornered her by the school pond. “Why don’t you just fly away, misfit? You and your gorilla   stepdad are a joke!” they jeered. Samantha felt tears sting her eyes, but she   stood her ground. “You don’t know anything about my family. Also, I'm not thrilled by the situation, but as long as my mom's happy, all that matters” she retorted, but inside, the words still hurt.

HAHA!!!

EXCUSE ME?!?!

You and the gorilla are a joke!

Vanessa and Mike’s relationship, though tested by challenges and misunderstandings, grew stronger with each passing day. Vanessa appreciated Mike’s support and   patience, while Mike admired Vanessa’s strength and resilience.   Their love for each other became a beacon of hope and stability for the entire family.

One day, Samantha received an invitation to compete in the Great Forest Flying Competition. Excited but nervous, she prepared for the big day. Vanessa, Mike, Chubby, Skoo, and Stinky all supported her, cheering her on and helping her train. 

YAY SAMMY!

Good Job Sunshine/Booboo

OMG!!! I just got accepted to take part in a competition. This will show the bullies I'm better than that.

YAYYY!

GREAT!!

On the day of the competition, Samantha felt a mix of excitement and fear.   As she stood at the starting line, she spotted her bullies in the crowd, snickering and whispering. However, then she saw her family and true friends, with their faces full of pride and encouragement.    She remembered the lessons her father had taught her and the love her family shared. With newfound   determination, she took off, soaring through the sky with grace and   precision.

Look at me go! 

The competition was fierce, but Samantha flew with all her heart. She performed daring maneuvers and showcased her skills, impressing the judges and the audience. When the competition ended, Samantha stood on the podium, receiving the gold medal for her outstanding performance.
