Chapter 2: Bachelor Life
"Liz, can't we at least talk about this?" Roberto pleaded with his mate as Roberto was pushed out of his hollow and onto the branch of the tree that led to his home.
"No, in fact, why don't you go back to your immature friends and leave me alone!" Liz shouted at her mate as she appeared at the hollow's entrance.
As the two were shouting at each other, both Blue and Scarlet macaws who lived nearby heard the commotion and stepped out of their hollows to see what was going on. What they saw rather shocked them. Both Liz and Roberto took note of this fact as both reached their breaking points.
"Fine, if you don't want me anymore, than you can live on your own with little Rosy!" Roberto shouted.
"It's better than spending the rest of my life with you!" Liz shouted back as tears ran down her face.
"Goodbye forever Liz." Roberto said under his breath before leaving and flying away.
Liz went back into the hollow, out of view of everyone, but not before noticing that several birds who lived nearby flew away, probably in response to what happened and to spread the news. Liz smiled knowing that.
Meanwhile Roberto settled down on the jungle floor, sitting quietly by himself when he heard the sound of wings approaching him. Not bothering to turn around to see who it was, he pretended to not notice.
"Hey Roberto…" The familiar voice of Juan greeted Roberto, Roberto slowly turning around.
"Oh, hey guys." Roberto greeted his three former friends. "What are you doing here?"
"Listen, we heard about what happened this morning and we feel really bad." Diego informed Roberto.
"And we thought since you're now single again, you can join us and enjoy the bachelor life again." Sebastain suggested.
"Well, I got nothing better to do…" Roberto thought about it, but really wasn't. "Count me in."
"Great, come on, we're actually about to go see our girlfriends." Diego urged Roberto on and the three flew away, followed shortly by Roberto.
As the four friends flew through the trees and waterfalls, Roberto thought a lot about Liz and Rosalia, although he knew he shouldn't, he should forget about them and enjoy the bachelor life he once had. Eventually Roberto's three friends stopped by a tree that was full of Brazil nuts by a pool that had a waterfall supplying its water. There, several female Blue macaws were on a branch, chatting with each other when the four male friends came.
"Hey ladies, missed us?" Sebastain greeted in a suave tone.
"Yeah, we thought you guys would abandon us." One fo the girls replied as she came up and kissed Sebastain on the cheek.
"Sorry, but we had to get someone first." Diego apologized as he stepped aside to reveal Roberto.
"Hey ladies, how's it going?" Roberto greeted the females in an awkward tone.
"Doesn't he already have a mate?" Another of the girls asked, apparently not having heard the news yet.
"Well, he actually broke up with her this morning." Juan informed the girl as he came up besides Roberto and put a wing on him. "Which means he's single now and gets to really enjoy life again."
"Oh, well in that case…" Another of the girls started as she and the rest of the present girls came up to Roberto. "Welcome back handsome."
"Thanks ladies…" Roberto responded in his awkward tone.
"It'll take time buddy." Diego chuckled at Roberto. "Now, ladies, we can return to our fun."
And that's what they did, the male bachelors enjoying Valentine's Day in their own way, by flirting with their ladies, sharing fruits with each other, and kisses, not the kind that a lovely mated couple would, like how Roberto enjoyed with Liz, but rather quick and rapid kisses. Roberto tried to get in the mood, but it was hard, not only because he was out of the game for so long, but he still found it hard to get over Liz.
The hours passed as Roberto had to endure the moves by the other ladies, who wanted to share a kiss or a fruit with him, but he declined. And as they were enjoying the day, another female flew in to join the group.
"Oh hey Isabella." One of the girls greeted the female. "Shouldn't you be with Leonardo?"
"Well, he and I… We kinda of broke up." The girl named Isabella answered, with tears visible.
"Oh I'm so sorry Isabella." One of the other girls said in a sad tone.
"But hey, there's actually someone here who can cheer you up." Yet another girl said happily as she forcibly grabbed Roberto's wing and dragged him to Isabella.
"Roberto… Is that you?" Isabella said, stunned.
"Hey Isabella, it's been a long time…" Roberto chuckled nervously.
Isabella was one of the girls Roberto used to date when he was still a younger bachelor and unlike most of the other girls he flirted around with, he actually kinda of liked her. He actually spent more dates with her than any other girl he met, in fact he thought she was the most beautiful, that is until he really got to know Liz after the Blue and Scarlet macaw tribes made peace and fell in love with her.
"It sure has, I thought you have a mate now?" Isabella asked, confused as to why Roberto was hanging out with his bachelor friends.
"Well, she and I kinda of broke up this morning, had a huge fight." Roberto explained.
"Oh, well, very sorry about that." Isabella apologized.
Roberto was about to reply, only for Sebastain to come in between the two.
"Hey, since you two broken up with your loved ones, why don't you spend the rest of the day with each other?" Sebastain suggested as he gently pushed the two together, both Roberto and Isabella's faces getting much closer, almost to the point where their beaks touched, both of their faces going red.
"Sure, I guess that could work." Isabella said slowly.
"Great, and it looks like the sun's starting to go down, lets finish this party in my hollow." Juan said as everyone, except Isabella and Roberto cheered and started to fly away to Juan's hollow.
Isabella and Roberto joined them after a few seconds, catching up as the group came to a large tree with a very huge hollow, it really reminded Roberto of his old hollow where he lived, before he gave it to Jewel and her family when they came to the Amazon.
Each couple got their own room, to do as they pleased to finish off the day, and everyone except Isabella and Roberto were inside one. So, after exchanging nervous glances, the two remaining macaws walked inside their own room.
If you guys really think Roberto and Liz have broken apart… Well… you're just going to have to wait until the next chapter, which will must certainly be the last chapter in this very short story!
