Chapter 2: love at first flight

"Rise and shine sleepy head it's nearly noon" jewel whispered kissing Blu on his beak. Opening his eyes he smiled when he saw jewel. He slowly stretched while standing up. "Its going to be a beautiful day my precious jewel". He kissed her softly while pulling her on her feet being mindful of her wing, "okay my handsome Blu bird let's get something to eat" she said while suppressing a giggle. "So what are we going to have today". "Umm let me think". Tapping her chin with her good wing and walking back and forth she suddenly stopped. "oh I know how about some mangos ?". "All right get ready" flapping his wings he lifted jewel up and flew to the kitchen of Tulio's aviary. "Blu, what are you doing" jewel said eyeing him as he started trying to open the fridge. "getting mango of course silly". "umm Blu I meant fresh mangos, from outside" so motioned towards the window. "oh uhh hmm right, outside". Blu stammered looking flustered. "Is everything ok Blu, are you sick?". Jewel came over with a look of concern in her face,

"hey hey hey it's okay my wonderful jewel". Walking over he laid his wings on her shoulder and pulled her into a hug. "it's just… well I… I've never had to get my own mangoes from outside before, I don't even know how to tell if they are ready". He admitted looking down at the counter top. "aww my handsome nerd bird. You don't need to feel ashamed of that I understand you are from mini soda". She said lovingly lifting his chin with one "finger". Giggling Blu said "I guess you are right, and I saw what you did there". They both started laughing and having a good time till jewels stomach grumbled. "ok I guess we can save this discussion for another time. Feed me Blu hehe". Jewel looked away and giggles as Blu grabbed some pre cut mango from the fridge and laid them on the counter. "anything for you Mi Amor".(hi guys and any gals. I'll be doing this a lot. I am trying to learn Portuguese and I'll be using it every now and again, Mi Amor means my love. Hope you are enjoying my story.)"aww Blu where did you learn that?". Flying over to a different counter he knocked over a large book. The title read "Portuguese for dummies". Excited about discussing something that he was doing for her he quickly blurted "it's a book of your native tongue, I wanted to learn some since I didn't even understand what you were saying when we first met". "aww Blu that's the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me". Her eyes started to tear up and she looked away.

Flying over he pushed her mango towards her and said "eat you need all the strength you can get". Grabbing his own mango he started to chew the sweet fruit closing his eyes to enjoy the exotic flavors. Picking hers up with her talons she looked at Blu before enjoying breakfast herself. After 10 minutes of eating and making small chat Tulio and Linda came in laughing and having a good time. "oh hey Blu, hey jewel" Walking over Linda and Blu did there secret handshake. Sitting back amused Tulio decided to walk over and see jewels wing. "hey jewel now I know you two have been in here for about 2 weeks and you must surely be cranky just bear with me while I check ok" indicating to her wing. Giving Blu an annoyed glance she stuck her wing out for Tulio to poke and prod with his fingers. "Good news Jewel your wing is healing nicely and you should be able to get out of the cast by this weekend". Tulio said proudly as he let go of her wing and smiled. Jewel looked at Blu and they both smiled. "Oh Blu you remember Trisha and surge don't you? They are coming down for vacation, isn't that wonderful?". She was answered by Blu looking at her and giving a happy squawk. "who are they Blu?" Jewel asked curiously. "oh they are just some lifelong friends I'll tell you later".

Elsewhere in the beautiful city of Rio a very annoyed macaw stood outside what had been one of his all time favorite hang outs. Looking around he saw a very small green bird hoping around gathering toothpicks. "Hey tiny, where's the club?". Said the macaw. The little green bird startled dropped the toothpicks tripped and fell. "oh umm umm hiya Sid long time no see". "yeah yeah it's been awhile tiny where's the club" Sid asked again helping the little bird to her feet. "it's been moved, the stupid monkeys crashed the last one, I was sent here for some of the supplies". Taking a look around Sid said "I see, where is it at now". After telling him where it was and watching him fly away tiny was talking to herself still picking up the toothpicks. "ha ha Sid is back… oh my SID IS BACK I HAVE TO TELL NIKO AND PEDRO". Dropping the picks again she took off towards Nino and Pedro's house.
