Hey everybird! What's up!?
So here's the short side story that I have been thinking of to go along with My Little Lisa! Yes it's finally here!
Now this is only going to be like two or three chapters, maybe four, but definitely not more than five. And if you didn't read My Little Lisa, than please go do so or else you're going to be a bit confused!
Lets get to it!
Chapter 1: The Storm
(Lisa's POV)
It was a rather dark day in what is normally the bright sunny Amazon rainforest, storm clouds rolled in as heavy rain started to pour and flashes of lightning lit up the sky. In one of the tree hollows between the Blue and Scarlet macaw tribes, I was at the edge of the hollow entrance, waiting for my mate, Tiago, to come back home after his job of patrolling the Blue macaw tribe borders.
"Mom, is dad coming back yet?" A voice behind me asked
"Of course Arthur, your father is just having a bit of trouble with this storm, he'll show up." I reassured my son.
"I just hope he remembers to bring home dinner, I'm starving." I heard my other son, Tyler, say from further back. "What?"
"Tyler, you should worry about dad more than your stomach." Arthur said sternly to his brother.
"Easy boys, no need to fight." I told my sons while I went back to watching outside for my husband to show up.
And soon enough he did, looking very tired and obviously wet as he came inside the comfort of his home. I came up and hugged him in order to warm him up.
"Welcome back Tiago, had a rough day?" I asked.
"Yeah Lisa, I volunteered to make sure everyone was inside and safe from the storm, my dad wanted someone else to do it and for me to go home, but I told him I was up to the task." Tiago answered.
"Hey dad, did you bring home dinner too?" Tyler asked, while I gave my son a stern look.
"What? I'm hungry?" Tyler giving an innocent look.
"Sorry son, I was too busy, but I'll go back and fetch some food for us." Tiago started, but I stopped him.
"No, I'll go and get dinner for us, you had a long day." I told Tiago, before he could leave again.
"But…" Tiago started, but I put my wing to his beak.
"No buts, I'm going and that's final." I told Tiago in a voice that he knew that I wouldn't change my mind.
"Alright, I know when I'm beaten." Tiago putting up his wings in surrender. "Just be safe and don't take too long."
"I wouldn't, I'll be back before you know it." I gave Tiago a quick kiss on the cheek before I flew out into the storm to the nearest fruit or nut tree I could find.
It actually took longer and was harder since it was very dark and raining outside. The visibility was low as I had to really focus my eyes, not just to find the fruit or nut tree, but to watch everything that was in front of me. Soon enough, what felt like hours, but was really only about ten minutes, I found a tree full of ripe mangos, dinner was served, now I just needed to pick out a bunch and bring it back.
"Maybe Tiago should have come with me…" I thought as now I needed to bring it back alone.
I got to work and found the mangos that were the freshest, but easiest to pick, I should know I am a teacher in the Scarlet macaw tribe school after all. However it was pretty hard since it was wet, resulting in a lot of slipperiness, I really had to pull hard in order to break off the fruit from the branch. As I finally managed to break off a couple, I decided that wasn't enough and got to work on getting one more free, I should have just left because while I was working on getting a third one, a flash of lightning suddenly hit me. The impact enveloped me in a white light as I lost some feathers, which floated down to the forest ground. I don't know what just happened because my entire vision grew black, like I didn't even exist at all or I was nowhere in the universe.
(Tiago's POV)
Like how Lisa was waiting for me, I was waiting for her as I was standing by the hollow's entrance, just looking for her red figure to show up so I know that she made it. I wanted to just go out and find her, but she told me to stay and plus if I went I would need to take our boys with me as well. Eventually I knew that too much time has passed, she probably got hurt or worse… But I knew it was foolish to go out looking for her alone.
"Boys, come, we're going to your grandpa Blu." I told my boys. "Get on my back and hang on." I told them as Arthur and Tyler got on my back and we were out into the storm, to go to my parents' hollow in the Blue macaw tribe.
As I flew to my parents' hollow, I tried my best to stay positive, maybe Lisa decided to take shelter to warm herself up at first before going back home or she just got lost and had to retrace her flight. I didn't want to think the worst as we arrived at my parents' hollow, my mom and dad just finishing their dinner together, looking very happy indeed. They have been like that all the time now, ever since me and my two sisters had moved out with our own mates, they now had all the time to spend with each other, well when my dad wasn't busy being the Blue macaw tribal leader that is.
As I came inside, my parents were quite surprised to see me.
"Tiago, what are you doing here?" My dad asked me.
"Hey mom, dad." I smiled. "Dad, can I talk to you alone?" Lowering my smile.
"Sure son…" My dad replied slowly. "Why don't you boys be with your grandma, you both look a little hungry, we have some leftover from dinner."
"Finally, I was just about to eat my brother." Tyler said in relief.
"Hey!" Arthur said angrily.
"Alright boys, come, I got some tasty nuts and fruits for both of your growing bodies." My mom told the boys as she gently pushed the boys with her wings away from the two older males present in the hollow.
As the two boys got to finally eating their dinner, father and son talked.
"So what going on, where's my daughter in law?" My dad asked, curious why Lisa wasn't here as well.
"That's why I came dad, I came back home late, with no time to get dinner for us, I wanted to go back out and get some, but she insisted that she will get it. I waited and waited, but she didn't come back, I'm afraid that something happened to her." I told my dad.
"Son, I'm sure she's fine, in fact she may be back home wanting for you three." My dad tried to reassure me, but I wasn't convinced.
"Dad, I can feel it, something's wrong and we need to have search parties looking for her right now." Really starting to get into my demanding voice, which I hardly used.
"Son, I know you love her and want her found, but it's nighttime and the storm's still really hitting hard." My dad pointed out, a flash of lightning from a distance brightening up the hollow while several seconds later the accompanying sound of thunder was heard. "I promise as soon as the storm's over, I will get search parties looking for her and notify her mother about her daughter's disappearance so she will send out search parties as well, okay?"
I hated to admit it, but my dad was right and being one of the patrollers myself, I knew it was ill advice to send out search parties during a storm, it would only result in more lost or injured macaws.
"Okay dad, I understand." I sighed as I calmed myself down.
"Good, now why don't you stay here tonight, I don't want you to go back out into the storm, and I'm sure your mother wouldn't like that either." My dad told me while putting one of his wings on my shoulder.
So I stayed at my parent's hollow for the night while the storm exhausted itself. Even when everyone else in the hollow was asleep, I still stayed up for awhile to look out into the stormy night, hoping that Lisa was okay, that she wasn't hurt or worse, if she was… Well I don't know how to feel anymore.
"Wherever you are my love, please be okay, please come back to me and our boys." I said as I closed my eyes and a tear fell out still and rolled down my face, dropping onto the forest floor down below.
And there we go!
If you read My Little Lisa, which you have to, Lisa's okay, but not okay at the same time, that's the best explanation I can think of…
Oh and let me know if you guys want to see more side stories in the future. I kinda of like going back to my older stories and adding to them more!
