Hi guys, I know you're probably not expecting this, you're probably expecting just another chapter on one of my other stories. But I have been thinking about this for a few days now and I can't just keep thinking about it, I have to write it.

So a few days ago, I saw this new trailer for a movie that is coming out next summer called "The Secret Life of Pets", at this point if you haven't seen it, I suggest you do, just go to youtube and type the title. Anyway I have been thinking, Blu is a companion (Yes, I did not say "Pet", because I do find that word demeaning to use for our animal friends and if Blu read this, I'm sure he would want to claw my eyes out, lol), and he does live with Linda in Minnesota before he goes to Rio.

Anyway here is "The Secret Life of Blu", which is a one-shot for now, but if you guys really like it, I guess I can do a few more chapters. Enjoy!

The Secret Life of Blu

Another cold, winter day in the small town of Moose Lake, Minnesota started and in a bookstore named "Blue Macaw Books" lived a young woman and her blue macaw, Blu.

Today Linda was going to go out midday and go ice skating with one of her friends. Linda was very excited, except for one fact, the ice skating place did not allow people to bring their pets. Linda had a tough decision to make when her friend told her about the place.

Yesterday Linda had a talk with Blu.

"Hey Blu." Linda said as she sat down with Blu next to her. "I have something to tell you."

Blu got a piece of paper and a pencil and wrote. "What is it?"

Linda sighed. "One of my friends wants me to go somewhere with her, but they will not allow you to enter."

Blu understood and thought about it.

"It's okay." Blu wrote. "Go have fun and I'm stay and hold down the fort."

"You sure Blu?" Linda questioned.

"Positive, I'm keep the store safe."

"Thanks Blu." And Linda stroked Blu's neck.

Back to the present day, Linda was just going out the door to go see her friend when she stopped and looked at Blu.

"You sure?" Linda asked again for what Blu felt like the hundredth time.

Blu only let out a happy squawk at Linda, saying that it was okay.

"Okay Blu." Linda said. "I'm see you later." And Linda walked out and put the closed sign up the door and locked the door, leaving Blu alone in the store.

Now Blu was all alone in the store, he could anything he wanted while Linda was gone, not that he was happy Linda was gone. But, Blu wanted Linda to enjoy her life too and sometimes that meant not being with him.

Blu actually sometimes did some small naughty things when Linda was away, but it was nothing too crazy and not too messy and Blu always made sure to clean up what he did before Linda came home.

However Blu felt different today, he wanted to do something bigger, especially since the store was so quiet and empty, even with all the books.

Blu thought about it and after some thinking came up with something.

Today is a cold, winter day and since Linda always made sure to keep some hot chocolate, Blu's favorite, always stocked in the kitchen, Blu decided to make some and that made him form another idea.

Linda always told Blu that he should drink only a couple of cups at the most, or else Blu would go on a sugar rush and do something crazy.

Blu got to the kitchen and prepared some hot chocolate for himself.

As Blu waited for the water to heat up, he was thinking. "I'm sure you can't go too crazy from drinking a lot, I'm try it."

Blu made his first cup and drank it, enjoying it as he always does, which set him up for a second cup. When Blu finished his second cup, he didn't feel bad.

"Can't hurt to drink another." Blu said as he prepared and drank a third cup.

That third cup really got Blu hooked and he started to feel the rush coming to him.

"Wow I suddenly have a lot of energy, I need another." Blu said happily and drank a fourth cup.

After that Blu had a huge smile and a ton of energy in him.

"Maybe just one more." Blu said, chuckling at the same time.

That fifth cup was the final trigger for the sugar rush.

"Oh my god, I feel so good." Blu shouted.

Blu started running about the kitchen counter, he was so out of it that he fell off the counter, luckily he was not hurt or he couldn't feel it because he just got up like it was nothing and continued running about. He was still carrying the cup with him and did not notice it.

Blu ran about the whole house, which was okay, but the cup still had a little hot chocolate in it and it spilled just a tiny bit each time the cup shook, leaving behind evidence that Blu was going crazy.

Blu eventually made his way down to the store and continued running about and spilling hot chocolate everywhere, he was so out of it that he did not notice Alice and Chloe right outside the window, waiting to mock Blu.

They were shocked to see Blu running about the store.

"What's wrong with our nerd bird?" Alice asked her sister.

"I don't know, maybe our mocking drove him crazy, it's too bad, I was so ready to mock him again." Chloe replied to her sister.

Meanwhile Blu was still on his crazy rampage in the store.

With Linda, she was enjoying herself, but was always worrying about Blu and how he was doing. Soon she felt it was time to go home to Blu.

"Hey Amy." Linda addressed her friend. "I'm going home, I bet Blu misses me."

"Okay Linda." Amy said. "Tell Blu I said hi."

"I will, see you later Amy." Linda said and left for home.

Back to Blu, his energy was finally slowing down and Blu stopped and fell down on a stack of books on a table, tired out, he fell asleep, the cup going out of Blu's talons, but still next to him, leaving behind a huge piece of evidence.

Blu was still passed out when Linda came. She unlocked the door, happy that she was with Blu again and opened the door to find Blu, but not in the way she liked.

Blu was still on the table, asleep with the cup next to him, but there was also some dried up spots of spilled hot chocolate on the floor leading up to the table Blu was on.

Linda was shocked and speechless at first, but…

"Tyler Blu Gunderson!" Linda shouted, loud enough for Blu to wake up.

It took a few seconds for Blu to notice that it was Linda, but when he did.

"Oh no, I'm in big trouble." Blu said while hiccuping.
