A teenage pigeon is determined to chase as many thrills and adventures as possible to prove to the world he can live his best life at...

From the desk of Pigeon (Seat 3G, Mr. Lance’s class)
     My parents always tell me “If you don’t try you won’t fail.” It’s the motto on our family crest. It’s the pigeon way... and I’m tired of it! I'm going to prove them wrong! I’m going to have as many adventures as possible. Epic adventures. The schwerviest of adventures!
     I’ve convinced my friends to quest for the ultimate quests; stuff we’ve normally chicken out of we’ve tried, like the time we learned how to dance, or when I became class president... almost.
They’re great stories that everyone should hear and I can totally fast track it with your help… by giving me my own TV show. #Schwerv
     Think about it… me, Leaf, Old Helium Balloon, Smog, and even Newspaper in our own show… all about us, and our awesome adventures. We’re kind of underdogs but who doesn’t like a good underdog story? Like that guy in that Rocky movie, we can’t lose.
Say yes and you totally won’t be disappointed. We’ll be super entertaining. We’ll make people laugh, cheer, even cry. I’m talking tears, salty tears.
     I'm a dreamer, I'm an optimist... a droptimist. #DroptimistPrime Armed with my vintage red turtleneck and a wicked cool haircut that only cost me two bucks, I'm blasting my way to the top. 
     That's probably why I'm kind of the leader of the gang. Who else has a better chance of proving that pigeons aren't just boring bird-brains? Nobody! That's who. Even those boring aptitude tests they make us take say that I “have nowhere to go but up”. They get me.
     I’m down for anything… like the time I tried out for the track team, or escaped from an amusement park funhouse. I may not be the smartest student, or the top athlete, or seen as much more than flying vermin that poops on statues (btw, only happened once)
  …but just wait until I bloom, baby! #OrlandoBloom
     Leaf and I have been best friends ever since he blew into my nest when I was a kid. He’s gentle by nature (Get it!? Nature? Cause he’s a leaf! #SoClever) and is always there to help me find my “inner zen lifeforce”... whatever that means.
     Leaf has stood by my side through thick and thin. Actually he hovers in the breeze by my side!#SoCleverNotClever #ShouldHaveBeenAComic
     None of us know exactly how old Old Helium Balloon is, but we know he’s old (it’s in his name). We also know not to offer help when he hasn’t asked for it. He has to prove he can do everything on his own. Ever seen a balloon try to pick up a pencil? PAINFUL!!
     He’s super smart though, because of all his life experience and stuff. Old Helium Balloon’s floated all around the world more times than he can count but he never went to school. That’s why he’s at Cloud 9 High. You know what they say: You can teach an old dog new tricks.
     Being a cloud of pollution might not sound great but it DOES have its advantages. Smog is a total class clown and can turn into pretty much any shape she wants.
     That definitely comes in handy when she’s in a jam, but usually she just does it to make us laugh (like the time she turned into a leaf shredder. You should have seen Leaf’s face!).
     Smog is pretty much down for any adventure, as long as she knows she can get a few gags out of it.
     Newspaper can be... how can I say this... a bit of a chatterbox. She’s full of information and will take any opportunity to tell you about it.
All. The. Time.
But when you take as many crazy risks as we do, it’s good to have someone really smart in the mix.
     Okay, I’m not gonna use all the space I have for Swan talking about how beautiful and smart and cool and gorgeous she is… but she’s REALLY beautiful, and smart, and cool, AND gorgeous! Everyone loves to be around her. It kind of feels like sometimes she forgets I exist, but that’s only, like, when others are around. She totally talks to me sometimes.
     She’s sooo with it, she already knows where she’s going to university! I don’t even know what courses I enrolled in next semester. LOL! But I’m pretty confident our lives are on the same path and that we’re meant to be together. I just have do something so schwervy she’ll see it too.
     Bald Eagle is the richest kid in school, the smartest student, uncontested class president, and captain of the Cloud 9 Generic Sports Team. He’s a pretty cool dude! Sometimes I’d like to be top bird like him, but it’d be a lot of pressure to live up to Eagle expectations.
     Owl and Owl are Bald Eagle’s biggest fans. Like... biggest! They’re totally the minions to his Gru #Banana They finish each other’s sentences in rhythm, dress the same, and if they're not with each other 24/7, they go all WILLSOOOONN!!  #Castaway
     The staff at the school are okay, I guess. Coach Super Captain Hero says he used to be a pretty big deal back in the day. Mr. Lance is pretty chill; he's still a sub even though he's worked at Cloud 9 for a long time.
     Principal Om is a giant ball of light and the voice of absolute reason or whatever. He assistant, Ms. Flying Squirrel is over-caffeinated and totally BONKERS! And Chef Flying Pig is pretty passionate about cooking but still can't make a decent grilled cheese.
