I do not own Chicken Little. Chicken Little is owned by Disney. I only lay claim to Chauncey Cheetah, Chester Cheetah, Chelsie Cheetah, and Chip Cheetah.

Chapter 5

Friday soon came, and everyone at Oakey Oaks Middle School was excited to have another weekend. After school concluded, Chicken Little and his friends were waiting with Chauncey to be picked up to see Chauncey's house. All of them had gotten permission from their parents, and they said it was okay as long as they were back before dark.

The same fancy car soon pulled up, and everyone got in. To their surprise, the car was big enough to fit everyone inside of it, even Runt.

Before they drove off, Chauncey introduced everyone to his family's butler, Chip Cheetah. The young cheetah explained that whenever his parents, Chester Cheetah and Chelsie Cheetah were away, Chip Cheetah was in charge of everything, such as keeping the house clean and picking Chauncey up from school.

After about ten minutes of driving, the car entered a neighborhood Chicken Little and his friends had never seen before. The neighborhood was the nicest they had ever seen, with countless mansions leaving them in awe at their beauty.

Soon they reached the edge of the neighborhood and got out of the car.

"Welcome to the mansion, everyone. It is the biggest mansion in Oakey Oaks," the butler said.

Chicken Little and his friends were thunderstruck at the sight before them. In front of them was a huge, beautiful mansion that appeared to be the size of a large castle. Gates at the front of it prevented any strangers from entering. Behind the gate stood an enormous, elegant fountain with smoothly flowing water.

"Well, what do you guys think?" Chauncey wondered.

"This is your house? You are so lucky, man! It's huge!" Chicken Little smiled.

"Yeah well, I don't consider myself lucky. I love to meet new people, regardless of social status and all that. The only thing I judge people on is actions," Chauncey stated.

"You live in the biggest mansion in Oakey Oaks, and you don't consider yourself lucky?" Fish tried to ask.

"As much as I love the lifestyle, I don't like to act all spoiled like other rich kids. Just not my style," Chauncey shrugged.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

Everyone nodded.

"Well, why don't I give you guys a tour?" Chauncey asked.

"Sure thing! Can't wait to see what it looks like!" Abby exclaimed.

The butler unlocked the gates, let everyone in, then locked them again. As everyone walked by the fountain, they could not help but stare in awe at how it looked.

"Hey Chauncey?" Chicken Little asked once they were inside the mansion.

"Yeah, Chicken Little?" Chauncey replied.

"Since you like basketball so much, do you have a basketball court?" Chicken Little wondered.

Chauncey nodded, beaming. "Yeah, we do! I could show you my shooting skills after I show you guys around the mansion."

"Sounds good," Chicken Little smiled.

"Can you really shoot from anywhere on the court, even from like the other side of the court?" Runt wondered.

"I hate to brag, but yes, I can. I've always worked to extend my range since I started playing basketball," Chauncey responded.

"How long have you been playing basketball?" Chicken Little asked.

"My whole life pretty much," the cheetah responded.

After Chauncey revealed everything inside his mansion and that his parents were usually very busy with business meetings, they were outside in the backyard. There was a huge swimming pool with a diving board, waterslide, and a basketball court inside the pool. Behind a tall nearby fence was a basketball court. It had two basketball hoops, and inside was a rack with what appeared to be at least one hundred basketballs.

"Your parents don't see you much?" Abby asked.

"Not really. Regardless, they do care about me, and I care about them," Chauncey explained to them when asked about why his parents do not see him much. Chauncey's parents were owners of the most successful company in the world. Thus, they had a lot of meetings to keep everything running in order.

After showing them around, Chauncey was letting them watch him shoot on his basketball court. To their astonishment, Chauncey did not miss a single shot, no matter where he shot from. Even full court shots went right through the hoop.

"You were right about one thing Chauncey. Your house is indeed a candyland," Chicken Little said, smiling.

Chauncey chuckled. "Yeah, that's what all of my friends say about the mansion. Some said they've never been to such a nice place to live until they came here."

Everyone nodded.

"You're going to try out for the basketball team, right?" Abby asked.

"Of course. Maybe after physical education on Monday I can talk to the coach about improving everything I need to improve. Even my shooting needs improving. No matter how good you are at something, there is always room for improvement," the cheetah explained.

"You said you want to work on dribbling, ball-handling, and passing right?" the chicken asked.

"Yes. I would like to work on everything though. If I want to be the new leader of the team, I will have to make sure I can help the team in any way I can. Fish stated that the other day, and I really do appreciate you believing in me, Fish," Chauncey stated, smiling at Fish.

"No problem!" Fish tried to say.

Chauncey smiled. "As long as I put the work in, and use any mistakes as motivation, I think we can win a championship this year and every year I'm here at Oakey Oaks Middle School. However, I will simply take it one game at a time. We never want to rush anything and jump ahead assuming we will win with ease. Every game, we will be challenged. We will have to make sure we play well and trust each other," Chauncey elaborated.

"Sounds like a speech from a true basketball player!" Runt exclaimed.

"Thanks Runt," the cheetah said.

"Sure thing, Chauncey," Runt replied.

"What would you guys like to do now? Watch a movie?" Chauncey suggested.

"Sure, let's do it!" Everyone exclaimed as Chauncey led them back into the mansion to get ready for a movie.
