It's been a whole month since Blu saved Jewel from a certain doom And while Jewel was still slowly recovering from her injuries under the care of Tulio,Blu had also been busy adapting to his new environment while taking care of his girlfriend,Jewel.
It was just another ordinary day in the city of Rio, everyone was out doing their daily routine, be it going to work,going to school or just going out to have fun.
In the aviary,Jewel was sleeping peacefully in the very same enclosure that she hated to the core a few months ago,but now it felt like home for her,it was place she knew that she would be save in as she was under the care of someone she knows that she can trust.
The door to the enclosure opened up slowly and a few seconds later,Blu entered quietly as he knew that Jewel was still fast asleep. In his wings,he was holding onto a mango,which was meant to be Jewel's breakfast.
Blu soon found Jewel asleep in the artificial hollow and he couldn't help but smile at how beautiful and peaceful Jewel is when she's asleep.
Blu put the Mango down before settling down beside Jewel,he wrapped a wing around her before he started stroking her head feathers with his wing.
Outside of the enclosure,Tulio and Linda were observing Blu and Jewel thought the cameras that was inside the enclosure.
"They make sure a lovely couple," Tulio remarked.
Linda smiled and nodded her head in agreement,"Yes they do,"She replied.
Tulio let out a sigh as he shut off the cameras to give Blu and Jewel some privacy. He then turned his arm chair around so that he was now facing Linda.
"So what are your plans?" Tulio inquired.
"Plans?" Linda said,with her eyebrows raised. "What plans?
"What are you planning to do now,are you gonna stay in Rio or are you heading back to Minnesota?" Tulio repeated his question,this time being more specific and clear.
"I'm not sure about it yet,I mean if Blu likes it here,then I will stay,"Linda replied.
Tulio nodded his head and smiled,"While most importantly is that you enjoy staying here too,"Tulio stated.
Tulio checked his watch and realized that he was gonna be late for a meeting. "Sorry Linda,I have to go now,remember our lunch appointment,"Tulio reminded her before he made his leave.
"Alright see you later!" Linda shouted her goodbye as Tulio had already left the room.
A few seconds after Tulio's departure, Linda's phone started ringing. She reached her hand into her hand bag and fished out her hand phone.
There was no called ID and all that was displayed was the word 'unknown'. Despite that,Linda still answered the call.
"Hello?" Linda spoke.
"Hello?Linda is that you?" The voice at the other end replied.
A smile spread acrossed Linda's face as she recognised that voice anywhere. "Mom!I'm so happy to hear from you!"Linda exclaimed while smiling happliy.
"So how's Rio?"Linda's mother asked.
"It's great!"Linda replied cheerfully.
"That's good to hear,so how's Blu and Jewel doing?"Linda's mother inquired.
"They are doing great,Blu is slowly getting use to Rio and Jewel is slowly recovering from her injuries,"Linda replied,smiling ear to ear.
"That's good to hear,"Linda's mother said. "So are you planning to come back to Minnesota for my birthday?"
"Your birthday!"Linda exclaimed,shocked. "A….. I mean of course,I have already book a flight back to Minnesota."
Linda replied,nervously.
"That's great!see you in a few days time,love you,"Linda's mother said.
"Love you too,bye,"Linda bid farewell before she hung up the call.
She turned to her watch to look at the date and to her horror,the was already 15 October and her mother's birthday was in 18 October which meant that it was only three days away.
"How could I had forgotten my own Mom birthday!"Linda exclaimed with the sense of guilt in her heart.
If she doesn't show up for her mother's birthday,she would had broken her mother's heart and that's the last thing she wanted to do.
Linda got out of the room and entered the enclosure. In the hollow,Blu was about to fall asleep when he hread footsteps in the enclosure. Out of curiosity, Blu took his wing off Jewel and flew out of the hollow to investigate the source of the noise.
The moment he flew out,he saw the familiar face of Linda smiling at him. "Hey Blu!"Linda greeted while smiling happily at him.
"Hey Linda!"Blu better back happily but obviously all Linda could hear was Blu squawking happily.
Blu landed on Linda's shoulders and they did their first bump thing. "How are you Blu?"Linda asked,while she stroked Blu's head feathers.
Blu smiled which was clear indication to Linda that Blu was feeling great.
"So Blu,I have some things to tell you and I think you would be pretty happy to hear them,"Linda said,as Blu looked at her with his mind filled with interest.
"So in a few days it would be my mother's birthday and I had promise her that I would go back to celebrate it with her, So I was wondering if you would like to go back with me?"Linda asked.
Without any hesitation,Blu smiled and nodded his head,indicating to Linda that he was keen on going back to Minnesota with her.
"That's great Blu!maybe I can get Tulio to come along to and how about you try and concise Jewel to come along with us to?"Linda suggested,while smiling enthusiastically.
Blu squawked happily in response. "That's great Blu, see you around,"Linda bid her goodbyes before she made her leave.
Once Linda had left,Blu flew back to the hollow to find that the mango was already gone,it had airway being devoured by Jewel.
Blu smiled and looked at Jewel,"Good morning gorgeous,"Blu greeted flirtatiously. "You sure was hungry,I left for two minutes and you went from sleeping to finish eating a mango in less then two minutes,"Blu stated.
"Yeah,love hawk I was very hungry,"Jewel replied,smiling at Blu.
"So how's you wing?"Blu inquired with is wings motioning at Jewel's wing.
Jewel turned to look at her bandaged up wing and replied,"It's recovering,but it's recovering slowly."
Blu smiled and said,"That's great!" Jewel was taken aback by Blu's comment and so she said,"What do you mean by great?you enjoy seeing me suffer don't you?"
"No,no,no," Blu denined quickly. "The reason is because I like to take care of you,"Blu said in a sweet and mellow tone.
Jewel raised a eyebrow and asked,"Really?"
"Yes,really,"Blu replied.
"How are you going to prove it?"Jewel asked,hinting to Blu that she wanted something from him. Blu took the hint immediately and walked to Jewel,before planting a kiss on her forehead.
"Good enough?"Blu asked as he parted from the kiss. Jewel smiled and replied,"For the moment,yes."
"So what did you talk to Linda about?"Jewel inquired while she made her way to the entrance of the hollow. She preached herself on the edge of the hollow and she was soon joined by Blu.
"Yeah,that reminds me,I have something to ask you,"Blu said. Jewel turned to Blu and asked,"What is it?"
"While,you see,in few days time,I will be accompanying Linda back to Minnesota to celebrate her Mom's birthday and I was wondering if you would like to come with me?"Blu asked nervously while his heart started beating a thousand time faster.
There was a few seconds of silence as Blu waited for a response from Jewel. Blu stared at Jewel's face anxiously as he waited for a response.
"So what do you say?"Blu asked again.
Soon a smiled appeared on Jewel's face,a smile that put an end to Blu's anxiousness.
"Sure I would love to go with you!"Jewel exclaimed,cheerfully. Blu couldn't control his emotions so he dragged Jewel into a warm hug and said,"Thank you so much!we will have so much fun together!"
"I'm sure we will,"Jewel agreed with her eyes closed as she enjoyed every second of the hug.
