Hello. While playing Shift 2 Unleashed, I had a bit of an idea. What if the birds from Rio were humanized, and spent a day driving race cars? This is the result. Enjoy!

In the Northamptonshire countryside in Britain lies an internationally famous race track. This track is called Silverstone. The Grand Prix layout is 3.667 miles long, and this track has been used for every type of race from Touring Cars to MotoGP Bike racing to Formula 1 racing. And today, this track plays host to eight drivers, seven of them with a bit of a difference. One of them was currently lying on the tarmac of pit road...

"Uuugh. What happened? Where am I?" Blu groggily awoke from his sleep.

"Morning Blu." Said Tom Fortnell. "You might want to look at your hands." Blu did so, and had the shock of his life.

"How do I have human hands!"

"I dunno. Somehow, you got turned into a human, and deposited in the Northamptonshire countryside."

"Britain! Well. Whatever I am lying on, it definitely feels hard. Like tarmac."

"That's because you are lying on tarmac." Tom spread out his arms and shouted, "Welcome to Silverstone Race Track!" With that, he helped the now humanised Blu get up. Blu looked at himself in the mirror. He was a early-mid 20s adult, with blue hair and a bit of a nerdy look to him. "If I say so, you look a bit like Jesse Eisenberg!"

"I do?"

"Yeah. Oh, cheese and sprinkles. She's waking up." Tom ran over to a woken Jewel, who had also been humanised. She looked a lot like Anne Hathaway in her early-mid 20s, but had blue hair that was a lighter shade of blue than Blu's.

"Where am I?" She asked.

"Silverstone circuit. Britain." Tom answered in a monotonous voice. He started backing up as he could tell Jewel had caught her reflection in the mirror.

"How am I human? Did you do this to me!"

"Uhh, no. And no, I don't know how it happened. But Blu's been turned into a human as well."

"Well, well. Hi Jewel!" Blu shouted over to the female.

"Oh Blu. There you are!" At that, the two birds/humans hugged each other.

"OK, Situation report. We're not the only ones." Tom remarked. He first looked over to a waking Nico, who had blonde hair and a cap with a pattern similar to his bottlecap. Apart from that, he had a remarkable resemblance to Jamie Foxx. Then he stared at what looked like Will . i. am, but he knew it was Pedro by the presence of red hair. Tom could hear a smooth talking familiar voice. He turned around to find Rafael talking in his sleep. He was a bit different in that he beared an exact resemblance to George Lopez with his black hair. Next to him was Eva, who looked like Bebel Giberto, but with black hair similar to Rafael's. Finally, he sensed the presence of one final bird/human, and turned around to find Jemaine Clement staring at him, with white hair and with his arms crossed. "Hi there Nigel."

"Why am I a human?" The former Cockatoo asked.

"Not sure, but everyone else is. Please don't punch them up, because we need to find out what happened."

"OK. I'll co-operate. For now."

Tom walked over to the others, who were now standing up, and figuring out their differences.

"OK. This is weird." Nico said.

"Yeah. You got that one right. Hey, Tom! Over here!" That was Pedro.

"Hi guys. I see you've woken up. And Rafael. Eva. Sorry if you were about to kiss, but I need to get to the bottom of this mystery." Tom said to the birds turned humans. At that moment, Tom turned to look at the grandstand, and zoned out. There, sitting in the grandstand next to the straight, was Tulio, Linda and Fernando. "Not them too." He muttered to himself. "But how come they're not humanised. Oh yeah, they were human to begin with. How am I going to explain this..."

"Hey! Tom!" Fernando shouted from the grandstand. "Where's the birds!"

"You see those people over there! They ARE the birds!"

"How the..!" Shouted Tulio.

"Not sure! We're trying to figure this out! Stay calm, Sherlock Holmes is right here in everything but name!" Tom replied.

Looking over to the garages, Tom saw eight race cars. Each one was numbered different, and had tall racing wings. Tom began muttering to himself. "I've seen those cars before. The FIA GT3 European Championship." Tom, being the avid race fan, had seen several GT3 races on television. He walked over to the parked race cars and began to admire them.

"Nice. They've got Astons, Audis, Lambos and Porsches. Real nice." He said to himself. Rarely had he got the chance to inspect actual race cars up close. But he stopped what he was doing when he got to the driver's door of the Chevrolet Corvette Z06R. There was an American flag above the racing number. Next to the flag were three words reading:

TYLER BLU GUNDERSON

Then Tom spun around to stare at the Aston Martin Racing DBRS9. There was a similarly sized Brazilian flag above the racing number. The letters next to the flag read:

JEWEL SPIX MACAW

"We're screwed."

Dun dun dun! While Tom figures this out and the birds adjust to their new bodies, why not give them and me a bit of encouragement by reviewing? Next chapter will come sometime soon.
