A.N : a new story! I know I have a bunch of stories that I haven't finished yet, but I update them constantly, so I'm not abandoning them! Hope you enjoy this one though. The Three Caballeros belongs to Walt Disney and his crews, not mine. But the story is mine.
Niña and Niño : Chapter 1
In Rio de Janeiro, one of the orphanage was on fire. The fire made all the orphan kids flew away and hide, seeing the oportunity to escape from the orphanage. This include two macaw friends. One of them is a female with red feathers and long tail feathers that have blue tips, which almost brushed the ground. She has red crest hair and little red hair that ruffle up to the back of her head. She has the white patch that almost every macaw have.
Her company is a blue and gold macaw boy. He doesn't have crest hair but his hair that ruffle to the back of his head is longer than the girl and tousle up a little. His feather colour's blue and yellow under his beak until his chest. He also have white patch on his face.
Both of them are around 7 years old. The girl's name is Juliana Jacques, while the boy's name is Juan Lopez. Juliana wears red shirt with collar and brown pants. While Juan wears blue shirt with collar and dark brown pants. Both of them wear white gloves on their hands. Both of their clothes are the same.
They are old, baggy, and shabby.
None of the orphanage caretaker that actually care with the orphans. So, their clothes are not a fine one and their body averagely thin. Juliana and Juan aren't any exception.
Meanwhile, Panchito Pistoles the Mexican red rooster, José Carioca the Brazilian green parrot, Donald Duck and his nephews, who are 8 years old, are on a quest going around the world. They all were staying at Rio de Janeiro for a while before they have to move out again.
"Hey, let's go out and walk for a while" Panchito requested. José, Donald, Huey, Dewey, and Louie agreed.
When they were walking, Panchito bumped into a red blur. Who turned out to be Juliana.
"Hey! Watch where you're going!" Juliana snapped. Panchito on the other hand, was surprised with the snappy little macaw and said...
"Well I'm sorry, but if you weren't in a hurry, you won't bump into me" Panchito said, annoyed with Juliana's rude attitude. Juliana rolled her eyes and said...
"Oh whatever!" Juliana said, then run again to the alley. Panchito, José, and Donald were annoyed with the little macaw's attitude. But what makes Panchito shocked, is that his pistolas are gone.
"My pistolas! Who took it?!" Panchito exclaimed, which surprised José, Donald, and the nephews. But Donald quickly eyeing and glaring at his nephews.
"Is this one of your prank, boys?" Donald asked with a frown. Huey, Dewey, and Louie were confused though.
"No, Uncle Donald" Huey said.
"We haven't play any pranks today" Dewey said.
"Honest!" Louie said.
This makes Panchito, José, and Donald even more confused. They thought the boys who took it. But after thinking for a while, Panchito suddenly said...
"That's it! The little macaw! She must've took it when she bumped into me!" Panchito said. Realising that the little red macaw must've purposely bumped into him to took his pistolas. "Let's go amigos! Vámonos!" Panchito said, and then took a run to go to the alley that the little red macaw went.
Meanwhile, Juliana show her new 'pistolas' to Juan.
"So you really get it?" Juan asked.
"Of course I do. Come on! Let's show it to Miguel" Juliana said and then went to the other side of the alley. She and Juan went there and there's a bunch of teenage macaws there. When they saw Juliana and Juan, whom was cowering behind Juliana, they snickered...
"Soo, how's it going, Juliana? Got the stuff?" one of the teenager macaw, who has green feathers said.
"Got what you want" Juliana said, while showing them Panchito's pistolas. Miguel, the green feather teenager macaw, said...
"Nice.. Now, give it to me" Miguel said, reaching out his hand to grab the pistolas. But Juliana put it back in her shirt and said...
"Nah. Money first" Juliana said, a little menacingly. But the teenagers didn't care.
"The pistolas first, Juliana" Miguel said, making his voice hard. But Juliana didn't quiver. She stay right where she stood and said...
"Then there's no deal. The deal was, I bring you the pistolas, you gave me the money. You want this pistolas, then give us our money" Juliana said, a little threatening. Miguel and the other teenagers glared at her. But before they can say anything, there's a loud rooster yowl at the front of the alley. Surprising them all. But they all know what that means.
"That is Panchito's trademark yowl. Quick! Run!" one of the teenagers said. It's true that the three caballeros are a bit popular in their native country, including Brazil. The teenagers run away, but when Panchito is already visible in the entry of the alley, Miguel said...
"Mark my word, Juliana Jacques... You better look out. I'll get you. Just you wait" Miguel said with a threatening growl and then left. Juliana just stood with her eyes glaring at him. Juan already hide first, but when Juliana want to do the same, Panchito grabbed her colar shirt and pull her up.
"Hey! Let me down!" Juliana shouted. But this time, Panchito won't let her go that easily. He stood straighter and glared at Juliana, before he extend his other hand and said...
"Give me my pistolas first" Panchito said firmly. Juliana didn't want to at first. But seeing that her feet can't even touch the ground and seeing José, Donald, and his three nephews around the corner, Juliana noticed that she has the disadvantage here, Juliana gave Panchito his pistolas. Panchito then drop Juliana and she fell with a thud.
Juliana quickly stand up and want to run, but Panchito saw this before holding her collar again. But this time, he didn't pull her up. Juliana glared at him and said...
"What do you want?! Let me go!" Juliana said, struggling in Panchito's grip. José then asked her...
"Porque está a roubar Panchito's pistolas?" (Why are you stealing Panchito's pistolas?) José asked. Juliana glared at him and said...
"Não é da tua conta" (It's not your business) Juliana said sharply in Portuguese. Panchito didn't know what that means, but seeing José's annoyed expression, she didn't give him a right answer.
"Now you, look at me" Panchito said firmly. Juliana did and glared at him. Panchito glared back and said...
"What are you going to do with my pistolas anyway? Don't you know that thing is dangerous for kids around your age?" Panchito said. Juliana look away but said...
"I'm not a little kid.." Juliana said. Panchito just rolled his eyes while Huey asked...
"How old are you anyway?"
"Yeah! You can't be older than us!" Dewey added. Juliana look at the ducklings and saw the resemblance with Donald. She knew instantly that they are family. Something she doesn't have for the past few years. She look away again and said...
"I'm 7" Juliana said, muttering it, but loud enough for them to hear.
"See! You're not even older than us!" Louie said. This makes Juliana annoyed.
"Then what is your problem American?! You're just a tourist in this place!" Juliana exclaimed. Well it's Donald turn to be mad.
"Hey! Don't talk to my nephew like that!" Donald said angryly. Juliana then said...
"Your nephews? Now I see their resemblance with you. You are just as annoying as they are" Juliana said sarcastically. This makes Donald even madder and almost want to strangle her if not for Panchito holding her collar and José keep Donald away from her. Juan saw this and went out from his hiding place and said...
"Por favor! Não a magoe!" (please! Don't hurt her!) Juan said, running to their direction. While the others were surprised to see Juan.
"What did he say?" Donald asked José.
"He said, 'please don't hurt her'. We're not hurting her, ninõ" José said. Juan seems unconvince though.
"Juan! What are you doing?! Run when you can! This guys are crazy as they are!" Juliana said. At this, Donald was furious again.
"Why you little.." Donald said.
"Well just a hold on. This little girl has some attitude alright. Where are your parents anyway?" Panchito asked. The others look at them to answer it too. While Juan and Juliana look away sadly.
"We don't have any parents. We're órfãos" (orphans) Juan said. Donald asked...
"Órfãos?"
"It means they are orphans, Donal'" José said. The three caballeros instantly feel bad for the two little macaws.
"Please let her go.. We took your pistolas so we can get some money to buy food, Senhor.." Juan pleaded. Panchito was beyond surprised. So that's why the little girl took his pistolas. They're hungry.
"Juan! You don't need to tell them that!" Juliana said, still in Panchito's grip.
"Now, wait a second. Don't you guys get some food from the orphanage?" Donald said. Juan and Juliana look at him like he was the dumbest duck that they ever see. Or hear in this case.
"Didn't you see a newspaper or watched some news days ago, Senhor? It's all over the news" Juan said. José then suddenly said...
"Oh, I know! Your orphanage is the one that got into a fire, right?" José said. Juan and Juliana nodded.
"Sim, Senhor" Juan said.
"Well, one point for the parrot then" Juliana said sarcastically. But now, the three caballeros understand the reason behind her snappy and sarcastic attitude. Orphans are usually like that so they can survive from bullies or from other bad people that don't care about them.
"What's your name?" Panchito asked the two little macaws. They both hesitate but then Juan said his full name. The others look at Juliana whose collar is still in Panchito's grip.
"Juliana... Jacques" Juliana said, reluctantly. Panchito then loosened his grip but didn't let Juliana go.
"Well, now you two come with us. We're just about to have lunch anyway" Panchito smiled to the kids. Juan and Juliana perked up when they hear 'lunch'. But Juliana refused.
"No way. You guys just strangers to us. Ever heard about 'stranger danger'?" Juliana said. But then her stomach rumble hungryly, making her blush a little. Panchito chuckled slightly and said...
"Nah, you're coming with us. I bet even when I'm in Mexico now, I can hear your stomach rumbles, asking for food" Panchito said, and then half dragging Juliana while holding her tiny gloved hand. José hold Juan's tiny gloved hand too and they are off to have some lunch at their hotel.
When they finally ordered some food and get them, Juliana and Juan were look like they haven't eaten for a year. When Panchito asked about this, Juan said that they haven't eaten proper food for a week. Which surprised the three caballeros greatly. But Juan and Juliana face it like it was the obvious thing in the world.
