First Breakaway Slide

I hopped down from the bed and waddled straight toward the hallway! The carpet ended, and boom—polished wood! Cool, smooth, perfect! I leaned forward onto my plush tummy, gave a furious kick against the baseboard with both feet, and launched! Zoom! I glided across the slick floor like a puck on fresh ice, skimming right past a pair of sneakers. A plastic bottle cap was sitting directly in my lane—clack! My beak tapped it cleanly, sending it spinning into the kitchen doorframe like an overtime goal! What a rush!
