Before I start, I just hope everyone is enjoying themselves and that everyone in Florida is fine from the hurricane. But I also hope everyone got my message from my latest post on "New Kind of Story." Try to remember that, please.

Now, the rest of the story will be focusing on Blu and Jewel, and they'll often see and find out what Linda and Tulio have been doing.

CHAPTER FOUR: FREEDOM!

It has now been hours since Blu and Jewel got out and when Linda and Tulio found the letter. They've been waiting for Fernando to show up, and because of everyone knowing that the macaws were already gone before the smugglers' plan went through, Nigel the cockatoo ran away without warning Fernando. Now with Blu and Jewel, things so far seem peaceful for them.

The sun was going down, and Blu and Jewel were still sleeping together in their old hollow. Blu soon got up, and smiled as he stared at his wife and couldn't stop feeling grateful that his my true love really was more than a dream, then he snapped out of it, and gently tried to wake her up.

"Jewel, honey."

"Huh? What is it, Blu?"

"It's sunset, do wanna proceed with the plan now?"

"Plan? Oh! Okay, let's go."

They were ready to leave the nest, and to head to their next destination…the smugglers' lair. But on the way, something came to Jewel's mind. "Blu, wait." "Yeah, what's wrong?" "If we're gonna free everyone from the smugglers, then don't you think we should get help?" Blu already thought about that. "I know, you're right. If Nigel's there and gets in our way, then we need more than just ourselves to get the job done. That's why we're gonna meet an old friend." So they reached the best person that could help, Rafael.

The sun officially came down as the two were close to Rafi's home. They felt very confident as to how this will go, and to thought about their lives will go on now that it has literally started over again.

"Hey Jewel?"

"Yeah?"

"I have to know…with everything that I have been through together, every adventure and every mistake that we've both made, are you still grateful to be with me."

"Oh Blu…Of course I am! No matter what happens, despite every mistake we've made, I wouldn't hesitate to answer. I'm grateful to be by your side and I'll always remember that you're the one who has made my life perfect."

"Really? So you're even saying that I'm better than Roberto in every way?" Blu smiled. "Who's Roberto?" Jewel's joked.

They both laughed, Jewel was of course teasing to make her true love feel good, and every time when she was around Blu, she did always feel that like she had forgotten her childhood friend. As they stopped laughing, they hugged each other, and Blu shared "Thank you, I am so grateful to have you too. You have also made my life perfect. Because of you, I feel like we are unique, I like that our own love is powerful. I feel like when you're in my life, I feel completely invincible because of you." Jewel began to sniffle a little, and continued to hug Blu 'til they would feel crushed. Afterwards, they just walked while holding their wings, and Jewel spoke again "Hey Blu. Here's something I also I wanna know. Are you happy that our lives started over?" Blu hesitated to answer that but took a deep breath.

"I don't know. I mean, before I came here to see you…again, I felt terrible because I was believing that everything we went through was a dream, but then when Tulio visited me and Linda, and mentioned you, I shocked and felt more happy than ever knowing that you were still around. Then as time went on, I beginning to see that we were experiencing some kind of…'do over' it changed things and I was afraid you weren't gonna know me, and I felt like I didn't what to do but I just tried. anyway."

"Well, either way, I do remember you, and I doubt that even time itself can affect the way I feel about you. Because I love you so much, Blu." "I love you too, Jewel…as long as I can still draw a single breath and afterwards, I will love you no matter what." "Thank you." They still continued enjoying themselves during the walk until they finally made it. "Ah. Here it is." "Okay, I'll call him out." Jewel offered and flew to the entrance of Rafael and Eva's hollow. "Hey Rafi. Eva. Are you guys in here? Guys?" The hollow was dark and tried look around, then a bad memory came to Blu. "Weird. Something about the rest of this place seems famil…oh no. Jewel, we gotta-!" He tried to warn Jewel about something but that something just nabbed him. "Blu? Blu? What's-?" Jewel turned to see Blu was gone, and then, "ATTACK!" The worst memory of their life came up, Rafael and Eva's 17 children. They tackled Jewel, dragged her to Blu, and tortured them both, just like they did 6 years ago. "Ah!" "Help!" "What's going on down there!" Blu and Jewel looked up and stopped screaming as they saw Rafael.

"Go! Go on! Off with You!" Said Rafi as he tried to get his off of Blu and Jewel. Then his kids piled on him, and everything went on just like them.

"Aw. Precious, aren't they?"

"Kids. 17 of them, and one on the way. Hey! He's not a maraca, stop shaking him! They're giving me grey feathers. Ugh, this papa needs a break! So, you two lovebirds heading for carnival?"

"Carnival? Oh, I forgot. Well actually, my wife and I here are some trouble, and we…heard that maybe only you and your family can help us."

"Really? Well, the night just started and I, Rafael, think can help you out. So what's wrong?"

So the two explained to Rafael the situation about the captive birds, and soon Eva woke up and wanted to help as well. The only thing they didn't mention was that the four have met before in another lifetime and that they're experiencing a restart.

"Wow, me and Rafi have never done anything that extreme before, and why do you need our help?" Eva asked. Jewel answered "Because me and Blu…are aware of how popular you guys are, and we thought you would be best to help us out. Please?" Rafael and Eva looked at each other and thought it over. Blu and Jewel did so too, hoping that their dear friends would help them out like they did before. And to their luck, but their knowledge of the two so well, Rafael and Eva nodded.

"Okay, we'll help. But will it be dangerous?" "It's possible, but as long as the cockatoo, Nigel and the smugglers are out of the way, it won't be a problem." Then the four went off, and on the way to the lair, Rafael asked "So…how long have you two lovebirds known each other?" Blu and Jewel saw this as a chance to explain themselves a differently. Blu said "Well…my wife and I have actually been together for 6 years." "Congratulations, I bet all of your friends all call of each of you lucky, huh? " Said Eva, and Jewel mumbled "You have no idea." So the four continued chatting until they made it. Blu landed on the window, it was mostly blocked but he could what was still going on in the house. He heard the smugglers talking while Nigel was sitting on a…stuffed duck's head on the wall.

"What's taking the kid so long?" Said the boss. Blu tried to very carefully to listen and to not get caught. "I don't know. Maybe the place is farther than we thought." Kipo said. "Ah, shut up, Kipo." Blu knew that they were talking about Fernando. "Fernando. He must be at the aviary by now, and Linda and Tulio must've gotten him. I hope they'll follow the rest of my letter." He looked and noticed Nigel looking like he had a thought, and he did. "I don't care if the kid got hit by a bus, just as long as we still have the birds here and my friends and I become rich." Blu hoped he never had to deal with him after what happened in 2014 at the amazon.

So Blu went back to the others, and explained "Okay. Nigel and the smugglers are in the building, and I think they're waiting for Fernando. That'll give us time to sneak in the back and everybody out." Jewel seemed pumped up. "Okay, let's do it." The four finally flew to the back, and saw all the captives through the open barred window. "Okay, let's get ready." Blu whispered. "Hey Everybody!" They looked up to see the four, and one by one they screamed out "Hey lemme out! Lemme outta here!" "Help!" "I was framed! They got the wrong guy!" They screamed so loud that Blu and Jewel had to shoosh them. "Hey! Hey! Everybody calm down. My friends and I here to help you. We're gonna get all of you outta here. Don't worry." So the birds silenced while the four went through the bars and unlocked as the many of the cages as they could. Eventually everybody was out and ready to go.

Blu flew up to the window, and unscrews the corners of the bars of the window just he did with the air-vent. After that, the whole window seal fell, leaving a whole that was big enough for everyone to fly through, and no one hesitated. Everyone cheered as they escaped, "Well that was easier than expected" Said Rafael. "Yeah, thanks guys, you head home now." Blu told them, and Eva replied "Thank you. Glad we could help." Then she and Rafi flew out too. Leaving Blu and Jewel go out last.

Jewel hugged Blu for a job well done. "Okay, next phase of our plan, go to the Amazon and explain everything to your father." "Right." That would be their next phase if another surprise didn't come.

Nigel heard the window seal fall, and got the smugglers' attention. They ran into the room and saw that the whole room was empty. "What the!? How did-!?" The boss then noticed Blu and Jewel. "It's them! Get 'em!" They ran towards (so did Nigel), and Blu and Jewel flew through the window. They would be laughing but Nigel was catching up. "Come back here, you blue feathered peewees!" "He's catching up!" "I know!" Just like last time, Nigel chased them through the small neighborhood, and despite both of them being able to fly and not being physically chained, they didn't have a big advantage. But that didn't mean they just quit.

They were halfway across the neighborhood now. "How do we lose him?" Jewel asked almost out of breath. Blu was also feeling tired out until he turned to see that Nigel hasn't broken a sweat yet. "I think I know. Remember last time?" Blu shared his thought, and Jewel remembered. They flew off to another direction and went athletic all over Nigel, trying to tire him out and confuse him, until…"Hey! What are you-AH!" They led to him to a telephone pole and he crashed into it, getting electrocuted, causing all of Rio de Janeiro to black out!

Nigel was on the ground look "well." Blu and Jewel laughed at the reenactment they just made, and flew off to the jungle.

Hours later, Blu and Jewel were back at their hollow. "Well, that was…fun." Jewel laughed. "Yeah, kinda went off better than last time, huh?" "And how." The two hugged and just enjoyed their moment together. They sat in their hollow and watched the night sky before going to sleep.

"Man, our lives may have started over, but…do you feel like things are about to change again?" Jewel asked.

"After everything that we've been through, I wouldn't be surprised. I just hope we can do better now than we did then."

"Me too. Good night, Blu."

"Good night, Jewel."

The two cuddled up for the night, and before they would get ready for tomorrow, they both dreamt about what they would always dream. Being together, no matter what life they're in.

I hope this was good. Now just so everyone knows, the next chapters of this and "New Kind of Story" will take a while to come, but I hope they'll all still be great.
