Hello readers! Yes, it is indeed a new story from me. I am continuing Blu and Roberto however I plan on changing that title as soon as possible. If anyone has title suggestions please PM me or say so in the Reviews and I WILL give credit. Now before I dive in to this story let me point out some things about Rio 2 itself…IT SUCKED! I love Rio with a passion that burns brighter than the Sun, but Rio 2 was such a rushed mess that it causes me physical pain. I feel that the characters that we came to know and love in Rio just weren't the same in Rio 2. Please tell me if I am wrong in the review section, but did we see the feisty, full of spirit Jewel that we came to love in Rio 2? Or the awkward yet cute, loveable, and funny Blu? I feel that Rio 2 really took away from the characters, hence why Blu has gotten so much hate in this Archive. I really didn't like how the Blu and Jewel in Rio 2 were nothing like the Blu and Jewel in the first. If you think differently, don't be afraid to prove me wrong (I love a good argument :D). F.Y.I, there won't be any cursing in this story nor vulgar bloody scenes, so don't be afraid of my T-Rating. Anywho, let's dive in this story, shall we?
Blu P.O.V
I never thought of myself as impressive. It wasn't that I didn't like talking to people, but that they didn't want to talk to me. I was a freak. Pathetic. Worthless. Dumb. I heard that from almost every bird that flew by the big window at the bookstore. Besides Linda, I had no friends. I love Linda, I really do, but…I always wanted to be the "cool" guy. The bird that everyone loved to be around. Someone who everyone just falls in love with. I soon learned, however, that it will never happen. I'm just too….unlikeable. No one finds what I enjoy interesting, and instead of giving it a chance, they just mock me for it.
Again.
And again.
And again.
I tried to blend in, though. I tried to join in the Snowball games the local birds had on the rooftops. I tried to make friends and become more social. I really….really did try.
It didn't work, though.
It never did.
I failed at everything, and instead of trying to help me, they discouraged me. No one liked me, even after I tried to become one of them. Why did they hate me so much? It was then that I realized that it was always going to be like this. It was only me and Linda, and even then with Linda I couldn't talk to her or anything. She loved me, but it just wasn't the same as it would be with a bird. So take out Linda and….
I'm alone.
An ever-so-tiny fish in an ever-so-big ocean. And no matter how much I tried to change that, it failed.
Always had.
Always will.
And I know that I might come off as a geeky, funny bird, but trust me. I am not like that. Inside I'm angry. Why didn't people just accept me? What did I do to them to deserve all their negativity?! Their harsh words?! I didn't do anything to them and yet they had the need to judge me over and over again! Why couldn't I just fit in? Why am I so different? It isn't fair that people who don't even try are loved and adored by everyone. Why can't I have that?! Why should I have to take the stairs while everyone else takes the elevator?
I hate myself.
I hate them.
I hate this world.
I hate everything.
For years, I have kept it to myself. Not once did I show any sign of pain and sorrow in my expression when birds said disgusting things about me to my face. Annoyance, yes, but not pain. I'm like a bomb, and every time people criticize me like that it takes away the seconds I have before explosion. On day, though…that bomb is going to go off.
And I assure you…
They'll regret it.

(Takes place right after the soccer match between the Scarlet's and Spix's)
Third Person
All Blu could do was look down at his feet. He ruined everything. He made a fool out of the Spix's, made everyone lose their food source, and the worst of all…humiliated his family. Humiliated Jewel. The love of his life, his one-and only, the bird he was chained too. And he did that to her. Blu started to fly to Roberto's nest. His wings seeming to be heavier than they were not too long ago. As the hollow came into sight, Blu could only look down. He slowly and carefully stepped down onto the entrance of the hollow. He felt as if he was walking into enemy territory. His kids looked at him, and looked back right away. Blu could see that they were depressed, and he was the one who caused it. It was so much pain on him, and he couldn't handle it. His vision started to blur as warm liquid slowly trickled down his cheeks and onto the floor. "K….kids. Do you k…know where your mother is?" Blu quietly asked, trying desperately not to sniffle or anything, which became agonizingly difficult. "She went to Pop-pop's nest." Tiago blandly replied. Blu gave a small nod, even though he knew none of them noticed it, and took off. As he approached Eduardo's nest, he could hear Eduardo giving out orders on looking for a new grove. Blu landed carefully at the entrance, same as before. This time, however, he wasn't as much ashamed but fearful. Eduardo looked at him, and his face cringed in disgust. The other five or six Spix's in the room looked at him and did the same.
Out of nowhere, one of them charged at Blu, screaming "YOU IDIOT!" While Blu backed away in fear, 2 other Spix's held him back. Blu sighed in relief. Eduardo walked up to him, heavily glaring at him. "What do you want?" his tone was deep and filled with hatred. Blu was in so much fear that he couldn't help but stutter. "I-I am l-looking for J-Jewel." Blu tried to back away, but realized that he was already at the edge of the hollow. Eduardo sighed in disappointment. "What did she ever see in you? You're nothing but a pet. You disgust me, as well as all of us. You're nothing but a burden to everyone around you." Eduardo's voice started to become louder, his temper getting the better of him. "Why do you always have to fail at everything?! How much of an idiot can you be?! God, you're so pathetic! You are nothing but a disgrace to your kind, your kids, and Jewel! If you want to know, she's at the waterfall with Roberto, try not to humiliate her! Now leave!"
Blu bolted out of the hollow. He just wanted to get out of there. As he flew to the waterfall, he could feel his tears coming down a lot faster than before. He started to sniffle, and used his talon to wipe his eyes so he can still see where he was going. He approached the waterfall, and he saw Roberto and Jewel on a branch. Blu flew closer to get a better view, and what he saw…..
Blu just helplessly stood there as he saw Roberto and Jewel's beaks intertwining. He could hear their muffled moans as they kissed.
