Lovebirds

Author's note: This story takes place after the events of Rio, but before those of Rio 2. I sincerely hope you enjoy this work of fiction. I'm a huge fan of Rio and can't get enough of it, so i decided to give this a shot.

Chapter 1

Samba dates

"Table for two, please." Blu said. His new girlfriend, Jewel, stood next to him.

"Aight." Pedro said. He, together with Nico, ran the Samba Club. He fluttered towards a table, taking Blu and Jewel with him. "Would you like something to drink?" He asked, getting a pencil and notepad out.

"I'll have a mango juice." Jewel said.

"Do you have hot cocoa?" Blu asked, longing for something from back home.

"Hot what now?" Pedro asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Cocoa."

"What's that?"

"It's milk with chocolate..."

"Sounds funky. But sorry, we don't have that."

"Mango juice sounds lovely." Blu said with a smile.

"Two mango juice, coming up." Pedro said before flying off.

Jewel looked at Blu and smiled, almost forgetting the music that was playing in the background. Blu looked back at her with the look of love in his eyes. He was still new to this whole ordeal, so it looked a little awkward.

"I love you, Blu." Jewel said.

"I love you too, Jewel." Blu said back.

They stared into each others eyes for a while. The music seemed to fade away slowly as they only could notice each other.

They were suddenly interrupted by Pedro, Bringing them their drinks.

"Here ya go. Mango juice from the freshest mangoes around."

"Thanks, Pedro." Blu said, taking the drinks from him, giving one to Jewel.

Jewel took a sip of her juice, waiting for Blu to do the same. After a bit Blu gave in and tried the juice himself. "It's... Nice..." He said, still not being used to the new tropical flavors round him.

"It'll grow on you." Jewel said.

"Just like you did." Blu said.

Jewel smiled kindly at Blu, drinking some more of her juice.

The two birds spent some time sipping their juice, not talking all that much. They mostly complimented each other and gave each other loving looks.

"Shall we dance?" Jewel asked.

"Sure." Blu said, finishing his juice.

Jewel flew off to the dance floor, waiting for Blu, who walked up not much later. Jewel bumped into him and started to dance. Blu wasn't as familiar with dancing as she was, so he just did his best to imitate her movements, careful not to step on her feet.

As light as it was when they arrived at the club, it was quite dark by now. Blu and Jewel had spend their entire evening at the Samba Club.

"I had a great night, Blu. Thank you." Jewel said, giving Blu a kiss on the side of his beak.

Blu smiled. "Always happy to make you happy, angel." Blu said.

"Let's go home." Jewel said, flying off.

Blu didn't say anything, but just flew with her.

End of chapter one. Once again, I hope you enjoyed it, and I'll try and update it as frequently as possible. Stay tuned for following chapters.
