Author's Note: I've gotten so sick of doing these disclaimers that I decided to record it. *Pulls out an old record and places it on an old record player* I do not own this movie/game/TV series. They are property of their appropriate owners. This fiction was written strictly for-was written strictly for -was written strictly for-*starts smashing the player* Guess its back to the drawing board. Enjoy the story while I work on this.

Bad Influence

"For the last time Blu, no means no." Jewel said sitting on a nest of three freshly laid eggs.

"Come on Jewel," Blu said, "That's just cruel though."

"Hey, how are the future parents doing?" Rafael asked flying up to them.

"Oh, hi Rafael." Blu said, "You kinda came at a bad time."

"Really," Rafael said, "What's going on?"

"Blu here seems to think we should let Pedro near our chicks once they hatch." Jewel responded.

"He's a good friend of mine." Blu responded, "You want me to tell a friend we can't hang out anymore?"

"Ah man, this takes me back." Rafael said nostalgically, this earned him a look from both macaws.

"What are you talking about?" Jewel asked.

"It's just me and Eva had this same argument with our first eggs." Rafael said.

"How'd it turn out for you?" Blu asked.

"Well, long story short," Rafael said, "The last time I saw him and Nico was before our first egg hatched."

"Wow." Blu said.

"Either way," Jewel said, "I'm not saying you can't hang out with them, I'm just saying I don't want Pedro around here."

"So Pedro and Nico never get to see their friend's kids?" Blu said trying to sound tough and stern, "That hardly seems fair."

"I didn't say anything about Nico." Jewel said not fazed by her mate's act, "In fact, I would have no problem with him being with our kids."

"But when have you ever seen those two apart?" Blu asked.

"He does have a point Jewel." Rafael pointed out.

"Besides Jewel," Blu said, "Without them, there's a good chance we wouldn't be together."

"I guess that's true." Jewel said reluctantly.

"And have you ever seen Pedro do anything that would make you think he's a bad influ" Blu was cut off by a 'are you kidding me' look from the female macaw, "Okay, you have me there."

"Okay, weren't you paying attention on the trolley?" Rafael asked.

"No." Jewel said, "What happened on the trolley?"

"Blu was having a hard time making a move, so I asked them to set the mood." Rafael explained, "Pedro happened to be the first one to try."

"So what was the problem?" Blu asked, "Everything, well one or two things, were going fine until I started choking on the petal."

"Let's just say the mood he set wasn't the right mood and leave it at that." Rafael responded.

"Would this work in my favor or Blu's?" Jewel asked, partially out of curiosity, partially to make her case.

"Yours." Rafael said without thinking about it, "Sad thing is he thought he was helping."

"Now do you understand?" Jewel asked.

"Alright, alright you win." Blu said, "I'll tell him next time I see him."

"Hey! Love Hawk!" Pedro called out as he and Nico flew up followed by his hawk cry, "How you and Hot Wings doing?"

"You see?" Jewel said quickly to Blu. Blu then let out a heavy sigh.

"Can I talk to you guys for a minute?" Blu asked the cardinal and canary.

"Oh great." Nico said, "I recognize that tone."

Sometime later (End of the movie)…

"So, what ever happened to keeping Pedro away from our chicks?" Jewel asked in flight.

"Meh, what can I say?" Blu responded, "They're like family to me. I just told Nico to keep a close eye on Pedro."

"Alright," Jewel said, "But any of them start mimicking him, and I'll personally pluck out every one of your feathers."

"Don't worry so much." Blu said proudly. One of his chicks then gave a higher pitched version of Pedro's love hawk cry, earning Blu a dirty look from Jewel. "Heh heh." Blu chuckled nervously before flying away as fast as he could.
