Chapter 1: Her confession
Jewel finally managed to get the cherry blossom leaf that became lodged in Blu's windpipe several minutes earlier.
"Thanks Jewel," he said rubbing his throat.
"Don't mention it," she muttered a little disappointed the fact that the only thing that seperated her from three magical words was a stupid cherry blossom leaf.
The trolly ride became fairly silent with the exception of occassional small talk between Nico and Pedro. Not to mention that for Blu and Jewel, the trolly ride had not only become quiet. It had become extremely uncomfortable and akward. For Jewel it was because she knew what Blu was going to say. She felt the same way but...still it wouldn't hurt to hear him say it first. And as for Blu he had once again made himself look like a fool in front of the bird of his dreams.
"Stupid cherry blossoms," the both muttered darkly. They both looked up at eachother and quickly looked away as colour came to both their faces.
Jewel sat in thought and considered telling him how she felt right now. "It might be too late if I wait till we get the chain off... that and he might still want to go with Linda. At least this will give him time to think about it...well better now than never I suppose,"
Jewel turned and gently got Blu's attention. He was staring in space thinking hard about something. He turned and looked
a little fearful. "Is she mad? Does she know what I was going to say?" But fear was soon replaced by curiosity as he noticed Jewel opened her beak to say something and the fact that her face had turned bright red.
"Blu there's something I really need to tell you, something important." She looked up at Blu with a slight smile upon her face.
Blu was puzzled but gestured for her to go on.
"Well here goes nothing," she thought. "Blu I think I lo-
She was inturrupted by the toucan as the trolly came to a stop.
"We're here lovebirds!" He announced loudly.
She cursed silently and proceded to get of the trolly after Blu
"I give you Luiz's garage!" he said in his usual a cheerful manner.
Lagging behind a little Blu turned to ask Jewel what she was going to say. "Hey Jewel what-"
"It's nothing Blu, let's just concentrate on getting this chain off first," she said with a little disappointment in her beautiful voice.
Blu still wanted to know what she was going to tell him but didn't push the matter further. The lovebirds followed Rafael and company into the garage. They both weren't paying attention and the collided heads.
"Ow" Jewel muttered. Blu quickly grabbed her waist to stop her from falling and left both Jewel and Blu's beak mere fractions of an inch from Jewel's. Both macaws looked into each other's eyes as what was actually a few seconds seemed to take life times. Finnally Blu snapping out of his trance quickly righted Jewel up and let her go quickly as if he had touched something sacred, something delicate, that shouldn't be marred by a living thing's touch.
"End of the line" Jewel said after a few seconds silence.
"Quite an adventure," Blu replied uncomfortably
Jewel seeing how uncomfortable Blu was decided to cheer up Blu a bit.
"Guess things like this don't happen in tiny-sota" She said shoving Blu playfully
"What?...Oh I see Mini-sota"
"Yeah"
"Hey that's very good. Very funny actually."
The small talk was cut off by Rafael calling out for his friend.
"Hey Luiz, buddy? Come on out we need your help with something!"
A sudden crash then a lot of barking sent every one into a panic as a bulldog came charging out.
Nico's eyes went wide "FLY FOR YOUR LIFE!"
Blu yelled running "I CAN'T FLY!"
"THEN RUN!"
Too late the bulldog had already caught up with them and pinned them to the ground and lowered his face inches from the cerulean birds. There was a tense silence as both macaws awaited what seemed like their immenent demise. This was it. The end of the Sphix macaw race. The very painful end to a species both were made to save.
Then the bulldog started laughing.
"You guys should see the looks on your face." he said between laughs
"Hey Luiz amigo stop scaring the couple," Rafael said barely being able to contain his own laughter.
"That wasn't funny Rafi" Jewel said angrily
"Relax mija it was a joke. Now C'mon lets get that chain off." he said gesturing to the garage.
15 minutes later...
"HELL NO!" Jewel said as she heard the chainsaw start whirring. Rafi quickly turned it off and looked at her questioningly. "What's wrong?"
Blu awnsered for her "Have you lost your mind? That is a CHAINSAW. One of us could get seriously hurt or even killed."
Blu said as he shuddered at the thought.
"Well do you have any better ideas?" The pitbull retorted behind them.
"Ummmmm..."
"Exactly. now be quiet so I can line you guys up with the chain." He said as the machine whirred to life once more.
As he was moving foward a drop of droo escaped the canines mouth. The bulldog slipped and pushed both macaws off course sending Blu directly toward the saw. The garage fell into complete chaos as Rafael despretly tried to turn off the saw while Nico and Pedro tried rescue Blu and Jewel. It all ended when both macaws crashed into the bulldog. The chained got lodged in Luiz's mouth and thanks to the Bulldog's "medical condition" Both Blu and Jewel's cuffs slipped off.
"We're free?" Blu said as he looked to his talon.
"WE'RE FREE!" Jewel yelled joyfully as she flew by Blu, who was still staring at his slippery talon in disgust and then turned to look at Jewel and smiled sadly. He saw that Jewel was happy and free. He didn't want to ruin it by his akwardness and inability to fly. "She deserves the best, not some nerd-bird like me... and don't deserve her" he thought depressed as he walked out of the garage.
Jewel noticed Blu leaving the room, stopped in mid-celebration and quickly landed in front off Blu. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. In fact everything is just perfect. You'll go to the jungle and I'll go with Linda just like we planned remember?" Blu told her with a hint of hurt in his voice.
By now everyone in the room was hanging on both blue macaws every word.
"Blu I was thinking and I thought maybe-"
"What? That you could come to Minnisota with me? No Jewel you belong here" Blu said gesturing to the ground. "and I belong overthere." He said gesturing in Minnisota's general direction.
"No Blu that's not what-"
"Oh. You want me to stay in Rio? with you? Why? So I can be mocked everyday by the rest of Rio because I'm the only bird here that can't fly?"
"N-"
"So you can remind me everyday of what an inadequate, sorry excuse I am for a bird native to Brazil? No thanks."
"No it's-"
"Look Jewel I don't need yours or anyone's pity. I can't exactly follow you around for the rest my life. So leave me alone and go back to the Jungle and be free and happy. Have a good life!"
He said as he began to storm off, Jewel's yelling stopped him and he turned.
"BLU I WANT YOU TO STAY BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!" she said tears rolling out of her sky blue eyes.
The confession was greeted with a stunned silence.
