Rio Ever After

This story takes place shortly after Blu and Jewel have been released into the bird sanctuary and this story mainly focuses on a pending marriage between the two birds. I will keep this story as simple as possible so sit back and enjoy.

Chapter One: Proposal 101 With Nico and Pedro

One month has passed since Blu and Jewel, a young spix macaw couple have been released into the bird sanctuary and things have gone so well for the two lovebirds for they have both confessed their feelings for each other and have been together ever since. So one beautiful morning in Rio De Janerio, Blu and Jewel woke up to rising sun when it was time for their morning routine.

"I'll get the fruit my dear", said Blu as he was about the leave the tree hollow that he shared with his girlfriend, Jewel.

"Okay Blu", said Jewel as she was waking up from her sleep,"just take your time finding the fruit while I fly over to the stream to get some water" and so, Blu gave Jewel a kiss on the cheek and flew away from the hollow to apparently get some fruit while Jewel went to stream to get some water, but what Jewel did not know was that Blu really had something on his mind that could change her life forever.

...

Meanwhile, Blu was at Ipanema Beach to meet up with Nico, a yellow canary, and Pedro, a red crested cardinal. "Blu, you need to express the fact you want to marry her" said Nico as he was trying to show Blu how he should propose to Jewel.

"But, how should set the whole thing up because after all, I don't want to ruin it or anything" Blu asked.

"Well" answered Pedro, "how about you bring her to the Samba Club tonight and make her think you are just taking her out to dance when you are just bringing her there to propose" he suggested, but Blu was not quite sure about if the Samba Club would serve as a great place for him propose to the love of his life even though it was the first where he and Jewel first fell in love after all.

"The Samba Club sounds like a nice place" said Blu, "but I was thinking of a place that's peaceful, quite, and romantic, as well as have a very special meaning to both Jewel I, for the Samba Club is just too loud and I feel that if I did propose there, I'm afraid that Jewel may not hear me loud enough to get an answer from her" he explained".

Since Blu wanted to propose to Jewel in a setting that was both romantic and quite, Pedro came up with one place that held a peaceful and special meaning to both Blu and Jewel. "How about that breeding chamber where you and Jewel first met" he suggested.

"No, No Perdo", said Blu. "Jewel hates any place that is completely confined. Maybe something that is outdoors though".

"Oh" said Pedro. "I forgot that Jewel cherished being a free bird and how she hated cages comparing to you". Blu had told Nico and Pedro the story about how he and Jewel met and Jewel's hatred towards confined places before so, Pedro knew that while the breeding chamber at the aviary would make a wonderful place for a proposal, but still, Jewel never liked cages to begin with no matter how big or how small they might be.

...

Soon, however, it dawned on Blu that there is one place in all of Rio that could serve as a great site for him to propose to Jewel. It was the tree house where he and Jewel spent their first night together while they were still chained to each other.

"I think the tree house should be a great place for me to ask Jewel for her wing in marriage!" declared Blu. "After all" he said, "this place which is both peaceful and romantic, and was the place where Jewel and I spent our first night together after escaping those awful smugglers".

Nico and Pedro were very pleased about Blu's choice in the location where he planned to propose to his girlfriend.

"Lovely choice" praised Nico. "I think that is the perfect place where you and Jewel can have your proposal".

For Pedro, now that his spix macaw friend has chosen a great location for the proposal, he and Nico could now help Blu on how he should propose to Jewel. "Baby bird, Nico and I are so happy that you have chosen a very special place for the proposal, however, I think we can teach how you should propose to her crazy love hawk style!" exclaimed Pedro as he jumped for joy.

...

So after getting all excited about the location for Blu's proposal, Nico and Pedro began to help Blu with what he wanted to say to Jewel in regards to how he felt about their relationship.

"While we already know that you have already told Jewel that you loved her" said Nico, "you have to open up a little bit about why you want to spend the rest of your life with her " he continued as he began to teach Blu about the basics of how to propose. "First, you need to tell her how you feel about your relationship with Jewel and how it has changed your life forever because after all man, you have been a house pet for most of your life and being with Jewel was the very first time you ever fell in love with Somebody".

"I got it Nico" said Blu as he was writing everything he wanted to say her on the evening he was planning to propose to her.

"Then", said Pedro, "you want to make a little statement to her about why you want to spend the rest of your life with her and don't forget to bring up the times where Jewel was there for you and how grateful you were to have her in your life."

"Okay!" exclaimed Blu "That's good" he said as he continued to write down what he wanted to say Jewel.

"Once you get that the fact that you have just told your feelings to her out of the way, you can now just get down on those little knees of yours, and propose" said Nico as he watched Blu continuing to write down everything with a pencil and piece of paper that he brought to the meeting.

"I think I got" declared Blu as he finally finished writing down everything he wanted to say to Jewel on the night he proposes to her "I have finally wrote down what I plan to say to her and I feel very confident about it".

Nico and Pedro, gave each other high fives after hearing that Blu had wrote down what he wanted to say to Jewel, and they now wanted to see what Blu wrote down.

"Can we see what you wrote" asked Pedro.

"Fell free too" said Blu in a very happy manner". So Blu gave Nico and Pedro his paper and they began to read what their dear friend wanted to say to the love of his life.
