It's the middle of the morning as Blu and Linda looked up on the computer on the counter, they were searching on the 'Skateboarding Grand Prix' and they were reading what's on the website, first there are rules where you know what to do during a race and what not to do during a race, next is to sign up where Linda enters Blu and then shows the time and date of where it's competing, which they got from Sarah and then they prepare for Blu's trainning as Linda has a plan to make ramps with the ice and making it more steady for Blu when turning, they know Blu has to be in top shape in order to win.

Linda went outside at the back to get the hose as Blu sits at the near the window tunning up his skateboard, his skateboard is blue like his feathers but with a red stripe going along both the front and the back, Blu then gets an unexpected visit from someone that won't make smile one bit.

A big thud hit the window and it was a snowball dropping to the ground, Blu knows who can it be, it was Alice and Chloe, ready to annoy him again.

"Ugh, can't I have some piece and quiet without those two for a change?", he said to himself.

"Hey pet, where did you get your feathers from, the colour fairy?", Chloe insulted.

Alice laughed as she throws another snowball at him, making the impact so hard that it made a big splat all over the window around Blu.

"Can't you two take a hint already, I'm busy", Blu said to them even though they ignore them as usual.

"Really, with what?", Alice asked.

"Yeah, with what?", Chloe repeated.

"I don't want to waste my time from the likes of you, and besides you don't have a brain to understand", Blu insulted them at the end.

Alice and Chloe are so mad that they throw lots of snowballs at the window as Blu walked away and headed out to the back of the bookstore where Linda was, she's holding a hose and spraying cold water out making it icy so that Blu would be able to pull tricks in the air like a ramp, plus she made a snow pile so that when Blu made a mistake, the snow will break his fall and gives him a safety cushion, few seconds later Linda was finished and it was a perfect track for Blu to practice on, as Linda saw him on the table as he got his board with him, it was a long blue board with a white lightning mark on it.

"Ready to train Blu", Linda asked.

Blu nodded his head as a yes.

"Then give all you got, my big brave boy".

Blu then run across the table carrying his board as fast as he could and jumped, he then move his board under his stomach and chest as he hit the ice and moving along, Blu got up and standing on his board but the ice made it too hard for Blu to steer, luckily Linda already made a rebound so Blu won't crash, he went up in an 45 degree angle and then roll right down, next comes a ramp Blu didn't know Linda put a ramp there but it was for Blu to pull fancy tricks, Blu knows Linda believes in him so he floor it and launches into the air, Blu was nervous at first but his board was herewith him and he starts with a 720 wing grab with his talons kicking the air and then landed on the over side in one piece, Linda was clapping with joy as Blu completes one lap of the trainning course.

"I'll get you some hot chocolate for your spectacular performence", Linda congratulate him as she went back inside to make one.

Blu blushed with joy by Linda's compliment as he got off his board and then rested, then he heard someone talking.

"Not bad, I can see you must good at something like this", the sound said.

Blu then know where the sound come from, he looked up and saw a male Falcon and a female Swallow next to him on the roof of the bookstore, Blu never seen those two before as they flew off and landed right in front of him.

Blu was nervous when they went to him, "Who are you?"

"The name's Sally", the Swallow said.

"And the name is Falk", the Falcon said after.

"I'm Blu, good to meet you", he said nervously

"So Blu, rumours saids that you are gonna compete in the anunal 'Skateboarding Grand Prix', is that correct?", Sally asked him.

"Yeah", Blu answered.

"Well, to tell you, we're entering it too", Falk added.

Blu was surprised at first, but then Falk suddenly runs past him, grabs Blu's skateboard and ride around the course in faster time and pull a 1080 back flip followed by a 360 one wing grab, Blu was stunned by all this as Falk landed in perfect timing, he then smoothly stopped in front of Blu as Falk looked at him.

"Whoa", Blu shocked with the fact that those two birds are great skateboarders.

"Yeah, and something tells me that your performance was a little bit good, think you'd learn anything else?", Falk suggested.

"Umm, I don't know", he said concerned.

"Well, hope that we meet each other at the event take places downtown and see what you can do", Sally said waiting to go.

"Yeah, hope we'll see you soon or maybe we may come back", Falk suggested a thought.

"Umm, ok", he feels ok with that.

Just then they heard Linda coming out.

"Time to go, Sally", Falk quickly fly away.

"Yeah, better get going", she then turned around to Blu. "See you round", she winked at him and then fly away, leaving Blu confused.

Linda then comes out with a plate of chocolate chip cookies and a cup of hot chocolate with six marshmallows in it just the way he liked it, his favourite ratio. Linda put down on the table and picked up Blu to his refreshment, Linda was happy for her best friend as she put down Blu and stroke his head, back and give him a neck scratch which he likes the most.

"You're always happy when your hot chocolate arrives don't you, Blu?", she questioned him with a grin.

Blu squarked with a yes, with a nervous laugh.

Then Blu went to his cup and started drinking his hot chocolate, it taste delicious and then picked up his cookie, dip it in and then ate a bite of it, it still taste delicious and then Blu drank all of it and Linda decides it's getting cold out here.

"Come on Blu, let's go back inside before we freeze to death", Linda said to Blu and he agreed.

They both went back inside of the bookstore as Linda set Blu down onto the counter and then Linda sat down on her chair and logged on to her computer as they now they wait for customers to come in, and then so far only 10 people walked in and purchased.

...

It is now 8:00pm and the store is closed as Linda and Blu are upstairs watching television with Linda sitting on her chair with Blu on the left side next to her, and while they're watching Linda stroke Blu's back with care as he enjoys Linda's company, the two were always best friends, they do everything together and they care for each other, all because it all started when Linda first met Blu in a crate.

Just as the television show is over, Linda then notice something.

"Blu, when is last time you took a bath?", she asked.

Blu then sniff his body and then open his wings as in a 'I don't know' kind of way.

"Well, looks like you need one then", Linda tells him as she got up, turn off the television, lay her arm out for Blu, he climbed on and they headed to the bathroom for Blu to get nice and clean, and for tomorrow he'll begin trainning again.

Chapter is done, finally.

So to tell you this, this is like a Sonic Riders reference cause of Blu skateboarding like Jet (Even though he actually uses a Hoverboard) and for Blu to have rivals of his own.

Review it if you like it, sorry about my grammar.
