My first story and starts after Blu rescues Jewel.

It was a cold night for a lonely jewel. She has been tossing and turning in the fake nest in the artificial jungle in the bird sanctuary for what seem like hours. She had been wondering where Blu went. O how she wish he was here to hold her. It's not really cold at night in Rio but the AC was on low and for her, that's ice cold and she doesn't like at all. She doesn't know how it all happen. All she knows is that it had happen fast. She has fallen in love with a nerd bird but he was her nerd bird. Blu has been in her head all day so far. But she started to think, was she really in love with him? She didn't know, but love him or not. She still wanted him to be by her side.

"Blu please come back quick I need you" she said with a sad voice that could only be heard by her. No one else was there to be her shoulder to cry on.

Meanwhile Blu and Linda was sitting on some chairs at the beach by a fire. Not many people were out at night. Some watch a game, some go to bed, some spend quality time with family, and some even stay up and read a book.

"I'm glad to see you and jewel are okay "Linda said with happiness in her voice like normal. Blu looked at her and smiled. "I got so worried" she continued. "I thought I lost you forever" she said while picking Blu up from his chair. Lind looked at Blu for a sec and asked him a question about jewel. She seen how Blu carried jewel due to her hurt wing that turned out to be broken. Linda had also seen Blu put his wing over jewel when Tulio went to pick her up.

"Do you love her Blu?" Linda asked while setting Blu down in her lap. Blu looked at her with a confused look. "You know, jewel. Do you love her?" Linda restated more specifically. Blu didn't know how to reply. He did love her but he didn't know how to say it. He got the guts and shocked his head yes. He did love her, he loved her more than anything. Even Linda. Linda was more of a friend were as jewel was the one. But he knew that he wouldn't be able to tell jewel that. He would be scared as to how she would react. Sure she kissed him for diving of a plane after her. She could have kissed him just because she thought that they were about to die.

"Well I'm glad to hear that" Linda said while smiling. They sat there for a little while staring at the fire. Blu having second thoughts about if jewel even loved him or not. He knew Linda was sooner or later going to ask if he wanted to stay in Rio or go back home. He had a lot of thinking to do. They both sat in silence until Linda spoke up.

"You ready to go see jewel?" Blu nodded real fast. "Figured you'd say that" Linda said with a big smile. "Come on lets go Blu" and with that they went back to the bird sanctuary.

Blu entered the fake jungle where jewel was thought to be asleep. Jewel got up quickly do to the sound of the small bird size door opening and closing. She poked her head out of the hollow in the tree and seen Blu walking towards the other tree. He flew up to the branches that intersected between jewels tree and the other. When he land he was surprised to see jewel awake.

"Jewel what are you doing still up?" Blu asked with concern, jewel noticed it in his voice and quickly reassured him.

"Don't worry I'm fine I'm just cold and couldn't sleep" she said while shivering a little. Just enough that Blu noticed her shaking. She wasn't shaking much, just a little.

"So how was your day?" Blu asked with a warming smile on his face, but soon turned to a frown when he seen jewels head go down. "Jewel…you okay?"

"No, I'm not okay" she replied with little anger in her voice. She then looked up at Blu and raised her left wing. "Didn't you noticed the cast on my wing, Blu?" she said with more anger in her voice. "Huh Blu, where were you when they were working on my wing?" she was at a full blast of anger at this point. Blu had started to back away. Jewel put down her wing and continued. "I was so scared and was waiting for you to come through the door to see if I was okay. But you never came. Why didn't you come?" she finished yelling at him and waited for his response.

"You want to know why, huh" Blu stated. "Well I did want to come see you but Tulio wouldn't let me. He said I would get in the way and that it was best for me to go with Linda and come back later when they were done" Blu spoke this in a low soft voice so jewel could understand that he did truly want to see her, but couldn't. Jewel just started to cry. Blu didn't know how to react.

"Blu I was so scared." Jewel said while crying. "The humans were all around me. I-I didn't know what they were doing at first" Blu step closer to jewel but stop when she continued. "I was just hoping that you would come to help but when I realized you went, I started to panic." She was at a full burst of crying now. Blu didn't understand what was going on. First she was calm then angry now just sad. He got closer and put one wing on her right shoulder. Jewel shoved herself into him and her head into his chest and started to cry even more. If she could see his face. She would see that's it's as red as a tomato. Although she can't see his face. She can feel his heart, and it started to speed up real fast. Jewel dried up her tears and faced Blu.

"I'm starting to get tired" jewel stated. "Are you tired Blu?"

"No, not really" Blu said without a single sign of drowsiness. "I was planning on reading a little about Rio before I went to sleep" Blu finished. Jewel just looked down.

"O, okay well night Blu" jewel said with a hint of sadness. She really wanted him to sleep with her. She turned and went to her hollow and Blu went to the opposite one. Both hollows branches intersected each other. Blu had a book about Rio set aside for him to read. That's how that night went.
