Chapter two: The promise

While they were all talking, the girls felt something towards the trios of boys. Was it love? They asked themselves. They don't know, but one thing they do know. They're scared to ask them, they might shoved them away, so they tried to hide it and they were good at it. Even their parents don't know nothing about it, the boys has no idea about what the girls thinks of them.

One morning, teens went out to the stream. The girls asked their parents if they could go to the stream. Their parents were worried about their girls, going to the same team where they almost got harmed by unknown macaws, ''I can't allow you three to go by yourselves, it's for own good." said Catherine in a motherly, but stern tone. They new that would come so they have to think fast. ''We know that mom, but captain blu and his brothers can come to protect us while we're there." said sapphire sweetly to her parents.

'' Well...if its OK with them, you could...but if not, then you three stay home." said John unsure but stern.'' That's OK with us" said france who outside of the tree while his two brothers are being chased by different female birds.'' What in world is happening here? Said Catherine confused why the other two boys were being chased." And why are brothers being chased by does girls? Asked John also confused on what's happening. "Well...I escaped from them,...looking back at his tired brothers. But them, I think they got everything under control." said France before laughing very hard. The girls watched in amusement as their bodyguard being chased and out numbered by innocent females.

After what seemed hours but in reality it has only been 10 minutes after flying through a bunch of girls and attracting more attention of more female macaws. They landed in the branch where they stay, only to see their brother laughing really hard at them."Hey, why's he laughing?" asked a tired azule. "Well...said M.J. He's laughing at both of you. She finish pointing at both of them. "what's so funny?" asked blu confused."You two should have seen your faces, you two are so bad and you didn't even knew how to get away from them. He said before laughing some more."If your so smart, why don't you tell us how you got away. 'Mister know everything'. Said a pissed off azule towards his brother.

"That's an easy one...he said trying to think of an answer. "Well. We're waiting for your answer, because we don't have time for your silly moments of life!"said blu crossing his wings "Well...I did the reverse psychology. Instead of them chasing me, I chased them instead. They were pretty fast for their sizes, so when I'm out of their sight, I quickly flew back here."said France confidently, making it seem so easy for them. There was an awkward silence, until jewel "Hate to break it to you guys, but can we ask you a favor? She asked not sure if they would say yes to their favor. "Sure, anything." said blu happily completely forgetting their argument earlier.

"Well...I was going to ask you three, if you can come with us in the stream? Said jewel. "Well, if that's it then consider it done." said blu assuring his female macaw companion. "Oh thank you, thank you, thaaaannnnk you! Said jewel after she jump to blu and hugged him. "Thats ok...but can you loose your grip?" he said after turning purple than blue. She got of him and blushed madly. France wolf whistled and received an angered and annoyed look from blu. "But before that...blu said while calming his breathing and continued again."We gotta get some our things first with us, if we're all going there. Said blu to jewel."Sure, why not? Said jewel. Sapphire leaned close to Jewel's ears and whispered "I think you like him." she said quietly so she and jewel on hears. She and M.J giggled because of how their sister been acting when she's near blu.

"oh, please. You I don't know what your doing when your alone in the branch behind the tree! Said jewel to sapphire, she knew what she meant. "What do you m...m...mean? Asked sapphire trying to hide her terrified face from jewel."You know what I mean." said jewel."Didn't you think no one can hear you from a distant branch." she finished making her sister back up to the hollow. The boys was confused of what the girls was talking about, azule was the one who broke the silence"Uhhh, you three still going to the stream?" said azule flatly."Yes, we're still going." said sapphire kind of irritated."OK then, let's go. Not much time to waste for worthless talking." said France turning to the hole of the hollow."Yo bro, you almost forgot this." said azule as he threw him his m40a5 at him, they all had bolt action rifles and just the right amount of ammunition to defend anyone or themselves.

They flew to the stream after saying goodbye to the elder macaw. The reaches the stream and it was still early. It only took them a few minutes from the hollow to the stream. It was a beautiful day for the girls but to the boys...it was just another vacation day for them, that relaxed them real good.

The girls started walking towards the stream to bathe while the boys guard them. Before even the girls even reached the stream, three tall, strong and colorful scarlet macaws landed in front of them. "Hey babes, wanna come to the club, have a few drinks and come to our place and have some real fun." said the tallest and also the who was in the middle of the small group who had a small grin in his face."Not interested, so go home to your mamas!" said jewel rudely and harshly.

Her sisters nodded their heads with a look that said ''like what she said". The second tallest macaw said "Come on baby bird, I know you want to!" he said saying his last word slower. The three scarlet macaws didn't notice the other blue macaws behind them. "They said their not interested. So go home before someone gets hurt!" said blu in a threatening voice. "Why, are your her boyfriend?" said the tallest macaw, the two other scarlet macaw nodded in agreement. "Yes, his my boyfriend, you got a problem with that!" said jewel while putting her wing on blu's, he was shocked on what she had just said, didn't showed it .

"Wait...this geeks, you have got to be kidding me!" said the tallest on who was also shocked from what he has just heard. "You got a problem with that? Asked blu showing more confidence. His brothers nodded their heads in agreement with him and just shoved the scarlet macaws off. The scarlet macaws got pissed off because they didn't got the three beautiful girls with them, but they won't give that easily. "What does they have that we don't?" questioned the macaw.

"Well their nice, respectful, loves to face dangers not like you three who hits on women, take pleasure from them and are big pussy cats, plus; they're nothing like you" said sapphire who was now holding azule's wing and M.J who was also holding France's wing. The boys blushed but kept it inside them so,they don't make a fool out of them self.

The three defeated macaws left because they just shoved by three attracting girls. There was an awkward silence until azule broke the silence. "So, that was just to get them away or there is something else, because you three have been acting weird around us? He asked to the trio of girls who was still holding there wings.

The girls didn't answer because they didn't want this moment to be over, specially sapphire and jewel but M.J was having a mental break down in her mind and she didn't even noticed France called her twice already. "hey...are you ok? He asked her. She look at him in his red burning diamond eyes, as he looked at her in her yellow gold beautiful eyes. They didn't notice their beaks closing in for the kiss...until they realize that everyone was looking at the with wide eyes.

"good job bro, now that's the way you can get us out of the hollow!" blurted out azule not holding sapphire's wing anymore and giving him some sense on what can happen if they did kiss. "sorry bro...just got carried away at the moment. Won't happen again." he assured his brothers, he turned to M.J who now was looking at the ground on what she almost did. She didn't want it to get ruined but she knew azule was right, and didn't want her fathers wrath.

They finished bathing and was not disturbed by any more strangers or birds that will want to hit on the girls, they didn't talked and it was getting on every ones nerve, the boys respected and gave the girls some privacy, but kept a perimeter that shaped like a triangle, with a distance of 2meters away from each other ready with their weapons and skills.

After the girls finished bathing the boys went next. The three girls watched with dreamy eyes, as they witness first handed the looks on the famous and legendary three captains as they bathe. They didn't care even if the girls were looking at them with their beautiful dreamy eyes. The hard, masculine features of the boys got the girls to look at them more...until blu spoke and shot the girl back from their dreamworld to the real world.

"we're all done, so...let's get going and head back and I think...my brother France here and your sister M.J has some explaining to do to your parents, and so they could handle this properly before it gets out of our hands." said blu calmly. The two accused birds felt nervous and didn't feel like going back to the hollow.

They flew back to the hollow with silence, none of them dared to talk, not even the innocent once. John saw this and got irritated but before he could explode for extreme boredom, his mate, Catherine spoke just keep everyone company and to know why are they not talking to each other.

"Is there something wrong?" she asked. "no! The youths said, but it was not yet over. "we meant, nothing is wrong with all of us!" said azule politely. Then he spoke again. "But this here has some explaining to do. He said while pointing a wing tip at France and M.J. The girls father thought of the worst thing they may have done but didn't showed it, he wanted to know what happened first before he makes a move. "Me and M.J, we...he paused trying to gather his courage to say it.

"we...but before he could finish his sentence, he was tacked by John and pinned down the floor. "What did you do to my daughter?" he roared to the boy full of rage and suspicion about and for his daughter's sake and safety. "Sir, please let my brother finish and we assure you that he didn't do anything to your daughter." said blu trying to calm John down. "Promise that because if he's lying, he can consider himself killed in action!" threatened John. "Yes, I promise and so does he." he said point out France. Catherine has never seen her mate so...so, aggressive before but was scared what he might do. "yes brother is right, your daughter is fine." said France still scared of what almost happened to him.

"me and your daughter, M.J, almost kissed" he finally finished but made the last word quick. "well...did you to kissed?" asked Catherine. "no ma'am, no we didn't kissed. I stopped myself before it happened." said France. John's temper quickly dropped from anger to concerned. "sorry about that son...emotion got first of me, hope you can ever forgive me?" said John. "sir, it's me who needs to apologize not you!" said France sadly. "Uhhh, did you did it? But you said that you didn't do it why do you need to apology to us?" Catherine said in a motherly tone. France quickly realize this and nodded in agreement. The night was quick and everyone went to sleep earlier and there was no awkwardness over France and Mary Jane.

By the following weeks, all they did was to party, escort the girls where they want and do some hunting games.

Today, they planned to hunt and have a little fun in the stream. "hey guys, you wanna hunt?" said azule to the teens. "what do you think we should hunt? We are birds and we're fruit eaters not animal killers." said sapphire trying to make a point to him."you dont get it do you? I didn't meant kill, I meant a game. It what's we brothers do in America when none of the people is around or just simply boring. He said lively and full of energy.

"So, how do you do it?" asked jewel. "Well...there's the prey and the predators or we could go with good or bad. Both teams must catch their enemies, not hurt them and they also protect each other and look for each other." said blu giving two choices they could choose. "what happens if we choose the good or bad hunting style?" asked jewel only understanding prey or predator and not the other one. "well...one team chooses different sides and can also choose different team mates so we're all fair." said blu fully giving the girls all they need to know.

"well, that sounds pretty easy...and one more thing." jewel said while also asking him a small question. "yeah...what's that thing you want to ask?" he answered humbly. Jewel blushed a little on how he answered her. "what are going to use to catch the enemy?" she finished. "Well, that's easy...we use nets and perform the art of stealth. But you understand what I said right?" France said unsure if the girls understand them, they simply nodded their small heads.

They flew in a good place to play the game and observe their surroundings for intruders or strangers. When they felt it was coast clear they played. " All right. Before we play the hunt, we must first choose team mates so we're all fair." blu said. "wait, who should be the captains of the teams?" said azule. "oh yeah, we almost forgot. OK, the captains are blu and jewel" said France making both birds looked at different directions and blush.

"hey guy, it's not on purpose, we like the oldest to lead for better orders and for a good chance of winning the game 100 percent sure." said azule, the two other girls nodded and France and his brother azule nodded on agreement. "yo, I got a good idea. Why don't the girls go with blu so he can protect and think more carefully and me and France go with jewel, so we can protect her from other males that try to get her." suggested azule.

" I completely agree." said blu confidently. "that's the spirit brother, but take good care of them or else, their father will kick our tail feathers bro. Said France. " OK, everyone, remember our small game is all about silence, the art of stealth and sportsmanship. No cheating, and when I meant no cheating, no struggling when caught so be fair or your gonna get it from me. Threatened blu, if he said what he said, the he meant it.

The hunting games:

"OK let's go." said blu as he and the two girls flew with him in the different direction while jewel and the two other boys flew with her . They stop at the spot where they can only be the distance of 2 meters for the diameter of the arena. "so what do we do commander?" asked azule.

"commander... Why call me commander and blu captain. I think that word is higher rank than captain." she said to azule. "Well...blu doesn't care what other birds call us, but he still treats them with respect and that respect comes back to us." pointed out France in flat but lively voice.

"what do think we should do, I don't even know how you three go to fight and wars without getting hurt." said jewel really not knowing what to say. "You say we don't get hurt, eh! "said France rising his voice. "well, let me tell you this. Last month, blu almost got killed from his injuries for saving us before that building exploded and 5 weeks later, I was shot near my heart for taking the bullet for the father of an innocent family. And I think a long time back, azule was captured and tortured by a bunch of hawks for flying in the wrong territory. So does that sound doesn't get hurt to you!" France yelled in the top of his voice.

But jewel wasn't scared of what he might do to her, she knew it was her fault for saying that and she completely accept for what might happen. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that." she said regretting what she said earlier. "hey, it's OK, I'm sorry for shouting at you. Its just emotion of nearly getting killed to over me, so it's OK." said France reassuringly.

"Well, I think we should move out from this position. It's most likely that we can loose in an ambush here if we don't move." said azule, France and jewel nodded to him. "I agree, we don't know what you brother capable of." she said until a voice was heard. "oh, you three will know soon enough what I'm capable of" said blu in an unknown position nor direction, it sounded like it come from all directions. The cornered birds backed up to each other. "what do we do bro?" asked azule. "I don't know...wait I got an idea!" said France. " what is your idea?" asked jewel.

" RUN!" he shouted before flying away. But before he and azule could get away, they were pinned to the ground by the girls who was giggling. The two pinned down boys moaned in pain. "does it hurt?" said sapphire to azule tightening her grip on his neck making him more scared. "no but you know something?" said azule making sapphire confused. " and what's that captain? She said seductive. "never pin and seduce a nice because they might turn to be the bad guy!" he finished before pinning her down, France did the same but instead of pinning M.J down, he smacked his head in a lower branch and fell unconscious.

Azule looked at him but made a mistake, he has loosen his grip on sapphire. She outsmarted him and grabbed his head and gave him a headbutt right in his head and tackled him in the ground, again. "I think you forgot something too, captain." she said. "owwww, and what's that?" he asked while putting his wing on his head. "that is never underestimate your enemy! She said.

"I'll keep that in mind" said azule making her chuckle. Azule was lying on the ground while sapphire was on top of him. Jewel was staring at them dreamily while sapphire and azule looks in each others eyes, a spark exploded inside him while sapphire wished this moment would never end. Eventually they have to end the staring to-each-others-eyes and stood up. Jewel forgot about blu, she remembered that theirs one more enemy she got to run away from, she turned around surprise to see blu only a few centimeters away from her, she could feel his hard muscular figure touching her feathers.

He spoke "so, do you still want to know what I'm capable of? He said in a low voice, so he and jewel can only hear. They heard someone wolf whistle at them, jewel turned and saw azule did it, she shot him a glare but it didn't scared him a bit. Blu was still looking at her waiting for her to respond. Jewel turned back to blu. "show me!" she said before flying away. She looked back and saw blu still standing, she turned her head forward and flew in a circle. "good job, girls. You learned some important lesson about self defense!" he said with a smile. The girls nodded and thank him for teaching them self defense, now they can protect themselves from strangers with bad intentions to them.

Azule woke France up, he stirred a bit but didn't got up, so azule shouted to his ear, France bolted upward. "why did you shout in my ear, man?" he said while putting both wings in his ears. "you won't wake up, so I don't have any choice." azule said plainly. "OK, wait did we win yet?" France asked. "not yet, blu let jewel go, if she captures him we win if the other way around we loose." said azule answering his brothers question. "uh, blu...why aren't you moving?" asked sapphire.

" I'm moving don't worry!" he said confidently before flying skywards not forward. "hey where you going!" M.J shouted but blu didn't heard her. "what's he doing?" M.J asked france and azule still looking at blu flying up. "oh I think your sister is up for a lot of pain" said azule. " what do you mean? Said a confused sapphire. "well...his going to dive and snatch her in midair." said azule pointing blu already beginning to dive. Jewel was flying back when she saw a large shadow pass her, she looked up a saw blu going straight for her at incredible speed.

She started flapping her wings harder, but all of a sudden a talon snatch her in the neck, she looked up again and saw blu pulling her closer, she didn't knew what he was doing, but she could feel them going down, she closed her eyes tight and waited for the fall. Blu in the other hand wrapped his wings and body around jewel to be her barrier so she doesn't collide with the hard ground. They landed hard but jewel didn't got hurt because blu took all the damage. After their crash landing, jewel was on top of blu still eyes closed. She opened them and saw blu looking at her with concerned eyes. "you alright?" he asked in a weak voice, she nodded and stood up.

She saw his brothers wide eyes and they picked blu up, he let out a large cry for pain. "dang bro, never I would see you do that and protect anyone. You always give them pain when you do that." said azule shocked on what blu said. Jewel was on a bit dirty but blu... He was messed up, his back plumage feathers were mix with blood and some of his feathers on the ground, he also has bruises and cuts. "we need to get you some medical attention." said azule in panic."fast" he added. They picked blu up,and flew in the hollow they stay.

When they reached the hollow, they lied blu down in the floor face to it. His injuries were vital and he was dying slowly if he doesn't get and treatment and surgery. His brothers started fixing his cuts, he was losing to much blood every minute and was fading into unconsciousness. If he sleeps he will never wake up, France turned to the girls, he had a worried expression on his face.

"keep him awake, we cannot let him loose focus, or else, he will die!" said france in a hurried voice and action. The three worried girls nodded and tried to keep blu awake. After the surgery, blu was saved and he had just cheated death for the second time and was now resting peacefully. Their parents arrived in their hollow and saw feather cover in blood, they started to panic for the sort of reasons, when they reached inside, they saw blu lying in the floor covered in blood and their daughters crying.

Catherine went to the teens and asked what has happened to blu. "what happened to him?" she said worried on the boy's condition. "mom, he saved me from harm for the second time." said jewel worried for blu. "it's OK ma'am, his alright, and I think he owes us some favor and that will be quite useful in the future." said France as he walked to the entrance. He was also covered in blu's blood and was grinning at his brother. "ain't that right azule?" he asked their youngest brother. "yup, I think this will be quite useful after saving his blue butt from death itself twice" azule said before bursting into laughter like his brother wasn't even hurt.

Minutes later blu and fell unconscious again, he woke up a few hours later and scanned the area for any hostiles or intruders. He saw jewel staring at him worriedly. "you alright?" he asked. She nodded and jump towards him, blu was shocked why she was hugging him. "thank you for saving me!" she cried on his chest and soaked it with tears. Blu was happy she was alright so he hugged back, they separated and it was already night and his brothers were asleep next to their female companions. Jewel sat next to blu and placed her head on his chest and slept peacefully. He was in loved with her as so was she, but he knew he will have to go back to states and continue his work. He swore to himself that he will come back for them when they leave.

The next few weeks was nothing but boredom for blu because he still injured. His brothers gave him company and the girls too. The came when he can fly again but they had two to three more weeks to stay with them, and they were very sad about it. "guys, let's give this party birds a real party before we go...what ya say?" said azule in a very excited tone. "yeah, I want some souvenirs in this vacation before, you know, leave." France becoming quite sad about leaving.

The three started partying and was confronted by the two same birds that's partied with them. "hey, it's you two again. Wanna path with us? By the way, what's your name?" France said. "yeah its us alright, and my name is Nico, and this here is my pal and best friend Pedro." said the canary named Nico. "yeah that's us bro, we own a club here, come by some time and will party hard and meet some ladies!" said Pedro. "we'd love to but this is our last week in rio, we need to go home next week, in US." said blu in a saddened voice. "ok...well, enough yapping and start partying." cried Nico. The party lasted for four long hours and everyone was tired. "that's the best yet, bro, ain't nothin like some good partying, right? Said blu. Everyone nodded and agreed.

By the end of the week, it was time for them to go and say their goodbyes. "so...this is it, huh. This is our goodbye.!" said jewel sadly. "yeah, this is it, but don't be sad. We promise that we will come back as soon as possible, and I can't wait to come back. So...can you promise us something?" said blu.

"yeah, whats that?" she ask. "can you three wait for us to come back?" he finished. "we, promise that we will wait for you three, to come back. Jewel said. They all hugged for the last time before flying off to Minnesota in US. "we will wait for you!" shouted jewel for them to hear, but they were out of ear shot. The three girls cried because of them living, their parents saw this and walked towards them to know the problem. "what the problem my princesses? Said John to his daughters. "dad." "huh?" "do you think they will ever come back here? Asked M.J to her father. " yes, and why you ask?" said John making all his daughters blush. "oh, wait, is this love I smell in the air?" he added. His daughters turned their backs on them to hide their red face, even though they had blue feathers. "I'll take that as a yes!" said Catherine in a sweet tone.

Their daughters slowly nodded while still facing back. "oh, my daughters have full grown up!" said Catherine hugging her girls. "well...why didn't you three said to them that?" she asked. "we're scared that they might reject us! Blurted sapphire. "didn't you girls saw how they act when their near you three? Said John. His girls coed their heads left and right. "aye,aye,aye. They were being more protective for you three toward strangers that tries to hit on ya! Said John. "didn't think we didn't saw what was happening on the stream? Said John, he and Catherine smile, knowing that they just shocked their girls, big time.

"what, you were watching us? Shouted sapphire. Their parents nodded. "yeah, you were like looking to their eyes as they were to you three. And M.J here, I can't believe you, my daughter almost kissed him. Good thing that his brothers was there to stop else your father could have killed him right there. And sapphire, how long were you holding azule's wing. Said Catherine. "uhhh. Sapphire was out of words. "as I have thought, you have grown feelings for him. And jewel. Don't think your out of this too. You were lost to his eyes, and I think you were looking for his good side, the one they call...love? Finished Catherine.

John tried to stop his laughter and he succeeded on doing it. He let out a small giggle instead. "girls, I will give you three a vey handy advice. Said Catherine. "and what's that mom? Sapphire asked. "when they come back...don't ever, and I mean never let go of them or else you three will weep for days, but, I think they will never do that, because they care so much for you three. It would break their hearts if you three are in pain. Said Catherine. "why don't we just go inside, shall we? Said John. They all went on side to ear for the heck of the day.
