Hey guys!

So, probably my most favorite OC love story would have to be A Falcon's Fondness by Tomadahawk. I loved it so much I want to make my own version of his story! And now it's finally here!

I hope you enjoy it just as much as the original version!

Chapter 1: Making the First Moves

The bright sun was rising over the city of Rio de Janeiro, bathing it in warmth and light, and with the sun comes the time for another day for both humans and the animals of the surrounding forests. And in the surrounding forests, along the many kinds of animals were the many different kinds of birds who lived in the tree hollows, enjoying their peaceful and happy lives. In one of the tree hollows lived a bird you would not expect to find in a tropical rainforest, a Peregrine Falcon.

This particular falcon lived a much different life than what all other predatory birds would have, he was not a predator. He lived in harmony with all the other birds and ate fruit and nuts, and he would protect those who were being hurt. This falcon's name was Tomada and he had everything one bird would ever want, expect for one thing…

Tomada longed for a companion in his life, a mate to have a family with and he knew exactly who he wanted to be with. Ever since coming to Rio and going to a certain club for birds in the city, he spotted the most beautiful Blue macaw hanging out. Tomada found out that her name was Sorrel and Tomada wanted to ask her out, but every time he saw her he would just panic and it would be too late to ask. Tomada felt he would never get the chance or the courage to ask and it really became unbearable when in that "certain" club, it was going to be date night.

On this morning, Tomada decided to seek the advice of his best couple friends, after all they made their love life perfect and even had a couple of chicks together. After eating some nuts and filling up his belly, Tomada flew to the hollow where his friends lived. As soon as Tomada found it, he flew in, where it seemed empty at first, but…

"Surprise Uncle Tom!" A girl's voice shouted out, laughing as she, along with her brother hung onto the big falcon.

"Ah! You two got me!" Tomada laughed as well.

After a couple of minutes, a male bird's voice came from one of the rooms of the hollow.

"Okay, you two, easy with your Uncle Tom." The male's bird voice said as he came out with a female Blue macaw besides him.

"Hey Alex, hey Lily." Tomada happily greeted the couple.

"Hey Tom." The male bird, who was Alex, greeted back and hugged his falcon friend. "You know, for a big, strong falcon, you sure fall easy to little chicks." Tomada blushed deep red at the comment.

Alex, who was a Scarlet macaw, and Tomada were best friends since Tomada first came to Brazil from the forests of the Northwest of North America. The two met when Alex was about to be eaten by a Harpy Eagle, Tomada rushed in and saved Alex, the two becoming fast friends. Later on, Alex met Lily and the three moved to Rio soon after, where Alex and Lily became mates by having two chicks, named Cadence and Eddie. Tomada became like an unofficial uncle and he loved it, it was during that time he first saw Sorrel and had these feelings in him for her.

"So what can we help you with Tom?" Lily asked.

"Well… You guys know how I want to ask Sorrel out and with date night coming in Nico and Pedro's club it's a good as a time as any." Tomada told the two. "And I need your help to practice what to say to her.

Both Alex and Lily smiled, of course they would help Tomada out, they thought the two looked cute together and the way Tomada always talked about her made Alex and Lily want the two to be together more and more.

"Of course we will Tom!" Alex replied. "Now lets get to work."

For the rest of the day, the three practiced what Tomada would say to Sorrel, with Lily pretending to be Sorrel, while Alex stood at the side, coaching Tomada and helping him if he got stuck with his words.

"Okay Tom, getting better, try a bit harder and sound a bit more confident." Alex encouraged the falcon, as it was the fourth time they ran through it.

"Okay, got it." Tomada replied and faced Lily again, taking a deep breath before speaking. "Sorrel, I been admiring you for some time and I really like you even thought we never shared a conversation with each other. I always wanted to ask you something, will you go out with me?"

"Yes, I will." Lily smiled, Alex also smiling as well.

"Prefect Tom, you say that or more, you'll do great." Alex said, giving Tomada the courage he needed to ask Sorrel the important question.

Alex and Lily also helped Tomada with other things, like how to really listen to Sorrel and to make sure that Tomada was the one who would get drinks. Tomada took note of all of this in his head and listened to every word the couple told him, after all they were the best couple that he knew.

As the sun finally began to slip over the horizon, to be replaced by the moon, Tomada said his goodbyes to the family. Tomada, of course, enjoying the hug Cadence and Eddie gave him especially, if there was one thing Tomada really wanted, other than Sorrel, was his chicks to take care of.

"Bye Uncle Tom!" Both Cadence and Eddie shouted happily as they hung onto the falcon.

"Bye to you two as well." Tomada smiled as he loved the hugging.

"Good luck Tom." Alex said, wishing him luck tomorrow.

"I hope you and Sorrel be together." Lily added.

"I hope so too, see you guys at the club." Tomada said and then flew off into the darkening sky, back to his hollow.

As Tomada flew back, he practiced over and over again what to say to Sorrel, sometimes saying it out loud as if he was speaking to her. However, he was also worried if she would reject him, after all, a falcon with a macaw? What kind of couple is that? Tomada also didn't know how he would feel or even if he can handle being rejected, but he was going to try anyway, better to try than not to.

Tomada got back to his hollow, after a quick stop to get some food for dinner, he ate alone and in silence and after settled down to sleep.

As Tomada laid down in his peaceful and quiet hollow, all he could think of was the upcoming date night and when he finally got to closing his eyes, all he could picture was how pretty Sorrel looked. Tomada sighed in his sleep as he waited for daylight to break out again over Rio and he could finally go to Sorrel to ask her.

And daylight did come and when it did, Tomada woke up right away to go.

"Okay Tomada, you can do this, you been preparing for this as best you can, you just got to walk up and ask." Tomada told himself to work up enough courage.

Tomada flew out of his hollow, knowing where Sorrel lived. It's not like he was a stalker, he just happened to see Sorrel fly into a hollow one evening and not come out again, signaling that she indeed lived in that specific hollow and with the smartness of a falcon, Tomada remembered clearly where the exact hollow was.

It took some time still, but Tomada eventually came to Sorrel' s hollow and by luck, Sorrel just woke up and was stretching her wings, enjoying the warmth of the sunrise over the forest. Tomada could only just stare dreamily at the beautiful blue angel, but he snapped free of his thoughts, shaking his head. Tomada took a very deep breath, encouraging himself a bit more and quietly flew down, in front of the Blue macaw.

As Tomada came in front of Sorrel, all he could say, at first, was…

"Hi…"

And there goes the first chapter!

On a last note…

Tomada belongs to Tomadahawk

Sorrel belongs to Sorrelwing
