When the humans were about to board the ship, us flamingo’s decided to take a rowboat and follow them. They were heading toward the north star. We tried to stay as hidden as possible riding in a hot pink boat, with hot pink flamingos in it. We waited to attack the ice breaker ship, while we were waiting all of the flamingos through a party on the tiny boat. Somehow, the people didn’t hear us in the back, like are they dumb dumbs? As soon as we were in the middle of the ocean, we attacked.…
