1. Chapter 1: The Sunrise

The Sunrise

Written: 3/18/2013 – 6/18/2013

The sun rose over the city of Rio de Janeiro. The golden rays shot up into the sky as it rose. Two Blue macaws awoke to another day in the Blu bird sanctuary. "Blu, what a wonderful morning!" The voice came from a Spix's macaw overlooking the city from her perch by the window of her rather adorned room, with trees, bushes, grass... pretty much everything a Human could do to mimic the Jungle. "I know, isn't it gorgeous?" said another macaw as he flew up beside her. "Yeah..."

Just then a little human, probably not much more than 12 years old walked in. "Blu, Jewel, breakfast is ready!" The birds immediately flew over to the boy. He was holding a plate, with 2 mangoes, a sliced papaya, and a sliced apple. Blu squawked "My favorite!" Fernando watched for about 15 seconds, then he said "You guys enjoy, I'll be back soon" and walked out of the Aviary. About 15 minutes later he returned. "You guys done?" Blu and Jewel squawked and nodded their heads. Anything else I could get you two? Blu shook his head. "Alright then, see you soon." So he walked out of the room.

A few hours later, the dark-blue macaw said "What now?" "I don't know Blu. How about we turn in for the night." replied the other one. So they did... waiting for the next beautiful day, in the city of Rio...

The next day Jewel was the first to wake up, and she flew straight over to the window. She sighed. "Another beautiful day..." Blu woke up and landed next to her. "I love waking up almost every day to a sight like that." he said while looking into her deep sapphire eyes. "The best bit is seeing you." Jewel smiled. "My favorite bit is seeing you." She replied. Blu smiled.

Not long after midday, the two birds were let out of their room for a while, and they went straight to Blu's owner, Linda. "Hello Blu, how's it going?" Blu squawked happily back. They spent another hour with their human companions. When they were put back in their Aviary, it was almost nighttime. As they watched the sun go down, a rather important thought came into Blu's head. He decided that he should tell Jewel about it tomorrow. They soon turned in for the night, the next day likely being a very important one...
