Hello everyone! I was planning on making this sooner but floods basically took up all my time also I was paranoid in case the chapter would be lost along with the reviews during the last week or two but now that that wasn't the case I don't have anything to fear so here we go.. Thanks for reading this and i hope you enjoy the story and maybe just maybe...the stupid cover photo will actually display itself instead of just a blue cover. :D

(odds are that someone has already did this story because it would be a common idea so if i do end up writing something someone else has already made then my apologies and i will stop this straight away and delete it)

A Bad Gift. Chapter 1 (A thoughtful gift)

It was early in the morning with the moon closing in on the horizon leaving the stars to fend for themselves against the warm glow piercing the darkened sky. An echo of animal yawns signalled the amazon to rise and shine but just as the Light from the sun had over thrown the darkness two Macaw's were able to be spotted sitting in their hollow overlooking the beautiful spectrum unfold in front of them. Normally they would only be awoken now but they were up long ago because today wasn't a normal day well for them at least. For today marked a special occasion as it was their anniversary of being married together.

"It's beautiful!." The female Macaw softly informed the more taller and more darker male while burying the side of her head into his chest.

"Yea...too bad they only last for so long." The Male replied. "I wish they could last longer." He added.

"Should we go and wake the kids?." The Cerulean colour female asked.

"Not yet Jewel, wait until you cant see the stars anymore." The male told his wife.

Jewel rolled her eyes with a smile on her face and joined her husband as they both continued the watch the morning sky become lighter and lighter. Eventually once no more stars or the moon could be seen Jewel asked again.

"What about now Blu?." Jewel re-asked him.

"Yea I guess so." Blu answered while walking back into his hollow.

"Ill go get breakfast." Blu told Jewel as he jumped out of the hollow and began to fly out of sight.

Jewel waved Blu as he disappeared then proceeded to walk towards the nest where her three darling children lay fast asleep.

"Bia, Carla, Tiago wakey wakey." Jewel said as he leaned over their nest and waited for them to open their eyes.

Just then they all woke up, stretched and yawned before hoping out of there nest.

"Good morning mom!." They all said at the same time.

"Were's dad?." Tiago asked while looking around him.

"Your fathers away getting us some food". Jewel replied while flying deeper into their hollow, followed by Carla and Bia then eventually Tiago himself.

Blu in the meanwhile was on his way back with a few Brazilian nuts held in his talons but on the way he was stopped by familiar faces.

"Hey Blu!." A Toucan greeted with A yellow canary and a chubby red-crested cardinal by it side.

"Hey Rafael, Hey Nico, Hey Pedro what's up?." Blu asked.

"Yea hey listen we just stopped by to tell you that were heading back to Rio." Pedro said.

"Why?." A shocked Blu questioned.

"Well Rafly needs to see his family again and we need to make sure the club hasn't been turned into a dump!." Nico answered.

"Will you be back.?" Blu asked knowing that they were serious.

"Maybe but in the meantime have fun with Jewel and all, hope to see you in the future!." Rafael said while they all said there good byes to Blu and flew off out of the distance quickly due to them being in a rush.

A couple of minutes later Blu came back carrying a bunch of mangos from his via the stems.

"Dad your back!." Bia said. "What took you so long?."

"What do you mean I've only been away for a couple of minutes." Blu retaliated in defence.

"Honey its nearly been a half an hour." Jewel dis approvingly corrected.

"Well I guess I had to go and say good bye to Pedro, Nico and Rafael..oh and Luiz of course now that I think about it." Blu started to think about the time he took.

"What? why are they going?." Carla asked since she did help them plan shows and events in the amazon.

"They needed to get back to their family's and also to make sure the club isn't in ruins." Blu explained while handing everyone a mango to nibble on. "Don't worry we'll go visit them sometime okay?."

Carla nodded.

"So anyways what's your plans for today?." Jewel asked curiously.

"Ah ah ah...that's for me to know and you to guess!." Blu quickly responded.

"If your gonna kiss just let us know so we can cover our eyes." Tiago intervened.

"What?" Both Jewel and Blu reacted.

"Its yucky!" Tiago said.

"You know what when your old enough to have your own family I will keep repeating what you just said every time your about to kiss her!." Jewel mumbled.

"Yea! and if any reason were not here by that stage we'll still tell you it in your dreams!." Blu added.

Tiago then looked up and put his wing onto his chin imagining him waking up in the middle of the night and seeing his parents looking at him, whispering that "It's yucky" and completely scaring him. Causing him to fall over and screech a bit.

"Bluuuu!" Jewel annoyingly said to Blu. "That was a wee bit un called for?."

"What?, that would be funny." Blu defended his words and finished his mango before everyone else including Jewel surprisingly.

"Well I need to go somewhere, i'll be back soon." Blu told his family.

"Where you going?." Jewel asked.

Blu looked back and smile.

"You'll see soon enough, ill meet you at Mimi's hollow." Blu finished the conversation as he hopped out and once again took flight.

On the way to the place he knew had what he was looking for he stopped by at Mimi's and asked her if Jewel and all try's to leave early just stall them till he comes back. Eventually after the talk to Mimi he had reached his destination, it was a small flat area that was bush and tree free and was packed out with many shades and colour of flowers and flower types.

"Oh wow looks like more flowers had grown here since the last time." Blu admired the many new colours that were presented to him.

"I wonder if Jewel will like this one..." Blu asked him himself as he picked up a yellow and orange daisy. "No too bright"

"Oh what about this?." He asked himself again this time picking up a brown and dark red flower. "Nope...too dull."

After 10 long minutes of Blu looking at each individual flower he ended up falling onto his back, catching his breath. Suddenly two scarlet macaws came flying down towards him and landing in front and behind Blu.

"You okay sir?." One of them asked.

"Who me?, yea I'm fine I just need to catch my breath." Blu responded.

"Was someone chasing you?." The other one asked.

"What? no I trying to find the perfect flower for my wife." Blu answered.

"Can we help?." They asked.

Blu looked up to see two kids standing over him.

"I'm sorry but this isn't the best place for you's to be in right now." Blu apologized.

"Oh that's okay bye bye" They said at the same time before flying off.

Blu then got back up and wiped his head off any stray pieces of grass may be stuck on him but suddenly in the distance a shinny glow caught the corner of his eye. Blu, wondering what it was flew over towards it and noticed that it was actually coming from inside a small cave but he could tell exactly were it was.

"Worth a shot!." Blu told himself as he flew on in and found something that would bring Joy in the short run...but chaos in the long run...
