First of all, I might pause my main story for a bit and finish this first, so be on the lookout for that.
Airport Tower.
"Sir, we are detecting foreign plane on our radar." A worker tapped on the screen and showed a man wearing suits.
"Weird, I don't remember any flights planned around this time." The man walked over and said," Start a connection with that channel."
"Ok." He said and changed the channel connection to the plane.
"This is the ATCT, you are unidentified and we need you to land immediately to be checked." The worker said on the radio.
"Oh no." The poacher said in a whispering voice, and said to the radio," Sorry, but we are in a hurry."
"You have crossed into our airport zone and you must be checked, or we will contact the international police, it's the law."
"What do we do?" One of the poachers said worryingly.
"Ahh… There's no way to escape this now." The leader said and scratched his cheeks, and said," I got an idea, we can say we are private traveling and not show them what we have in the back."
"That's perfect!" The pilot said and slowly descended the plane and flew down towards the runway. After few minutes of landing, they finally stopped the plane, the wheel made a screeching stop as several armed policemen ran over to the plane. The poachers came out, acting innocent like they were just some rich peoples that were just traveling in their plane, but in fact hiding something that is worth millions of dollar.
"Sir, we need to check the entire plane." One of the policemen said.
"Sorry officer, we have a private stocking in the plane, you can't check them." The poacher acted like he was a rich person.
"Too bad, we have the right to check everything that you have." The officer smirked and showed them the law," Go ahead, open up your backdoor, we won't damage anything."
"Uhh…" The poacher scratched his head and ran out of ideas, after a while of intense thinking, he finally gave up and open the hanger. As the thick metal plate slowly descended down, a group of policemen waited for what was inside the plane. It wasn't frequent that an unauthorized plane would enter an airfield such as this, and they were curious of what the supposed 'rich peoples' were hiding.
"Woah…" One of the policemen eyes widened as he saw a few dozens of cages filled with birds lying around the hanger. There were all kinds of birds, macaws, parrots, owls, woodpeckers, just about anything you would expect.
"Just as I suspected, poachers." The policemen patted the nervous poachers on the sweaty shoulder said," Trying to steal our birds hun?"
"Oh please, just let us go, we'll never do it again." The poacher dropped on the ground and begged him.
"Say that to the judge." The policemen dragged him up and handcuffed him," Bring 'em back, and keep these birds in the airport until we contact someone."
So the poachers were caught and the cages of birds were transported back into the airport for safe keeping. Jewel looked around and was scared of so many humans just walking around her, she shook in fear and cowered in the corner, hoping no one will notice her. She's already hurt enough, and not seeing Blu makes everything worse. If he was beside her or in the same cage, she could have at least be comforted by Blu, but with his absence at the increasing amounts of humans, Jewel's tear flooded her sorrow face and turned it soaking wet.
"Hey, hey, it's gonna be alright." The scarlet macaw somehow ended up beside her said.
"No… I just want Blu… Is that too much to ask?" Jewel dug her face into her wings and mumbled the words out.
"Ok, crying isn't going to help, just think about something else," The scarlet macaw tried to sooth her, it almost hurts him to see another female to cry," How about you just calm down and sleep."
"How can I sleep when all I could think about is him" Jewel sat in the corner, her back towards the scarlet macaw.
"Well, if you stop crying, Blu might show up." He said.
"Really?" Jewel turned around and got excited, she would believe anything at this point with her body and mind so tired from all the stress and anxiety caused by the humans.
"No." The scarlet macaw was actually surprised that she would even respond to that.
"Then I'm never gonna see him." Jewel turned back and started weeping again at the shattered memories of Blu.
Blu was still walking down the street.
"This is taking forever," Blu said to himself tediously and sat down on the cold bricks on the ground. He looks up the sky and sees stars, and saw them illuminating the sky along with the moon. Blu felt a stream of jealousy rising in him as he thought that the moon always has accompanied it no matter what and that he has nothing but an exotic tag on his body, making him extraordinary and more lonely.
After a while of resting, Blu decided to stand up and keep walking down the street and find the aviary. It wasn't long before two humans came running towards him. He looked up to them and finally dropped thought that he's going to get lost. Blu accepted the foreign hand of the ornithologist and turned towards his owner, Linda.
Her face was pale as milk, after all that asking and the exploration of the almost entire city of Rio. A faint glimpse of a smile came on her face as she gently touched the silky feather of Blu's. The familiar warmth of her beloved bird calmed her heart down like a metoprolol, and after a long sigh of relief, she picked Blu up and kissed his head with her cherry lips, and held his warm body close to her face.
The same was for Blu. The supposed flying bird was stuck on the ground, forced to walk all the way even though his gene did not allow such failure. His body tortured him with unbearable pain from all the walking he's been doing, and the great emotional despair brought by the bird that he had feelings with. He couldn't describe the sensation that haunted him the whole way he was walking, stronger than even the pain from his legs and body that eventually became numb in the presence of this weird experience.
The ornithologist known as Tulio and Linda brought the tired and dirty Blu on the jeep and drove it off to the side road where it wasn't heavily occupied by the festival car from the Carnival. Lights flashed away and sounds faded as the jeep sped up behind the crowded area, and headed towards the aviary where Blu can finally rest for the night, as well as Tulio and Linda.
On the way of driving to the aviary, Blu felt the tiny and steady trembling of the jeep from the unstable ground beneath them Blu became dizzy as his consciousness faded away slowly, revealing the mountain of dream and true inner thoughts behind the lies of the morning fogs in his mind.
The image of a light blue feathered macaw came again and flashed numerously, reminding him of the time that he took the route that he thinks is true, or the very path that might lead to their species' ultimate extinction, but none of those was important or relevant to what Blu had in his mind. He forfeited the chance of being with the bird that he spent time with, times that he enjoyed, loved and wished to be repeated endlessly as long as she is near him.
Blu's heart pounded like a wild deer again when he remember the time that their beak became so close that they almost touched, he could feel the radiance of romance floating around him and her when that happened. He wanted that again, he wanted to feel the electrical current forming between him and her like entanglement between electrons particles, and will never be separated even with the most brutal force or across the universe just as the quantum theory states.
Linda looked in the mirror at the backseat and saw that Blu had his head tucked in his wings, signifying that he's asleep. He turned to Tulio and said," Next time, try to have some real guard that isn't so obsessed with Carnival, and maybe we can avoid these problems."
"You are not the only one at a loss here, What are we supposed to do without Jewel? How will Blu be able to carry down his gene when he's all along?" Tulio answered with his eyes forward on the road.
"Too bad then," Linda said sternly," I'm bringing Blu back to Minnesota."
Leave a review, thanks.
