(Non-Member) Guest: Yes, it was sad indeed. Pedro was a good bird.
The following day, Blu and Jewel had finally just finished getting their kids to take a nap. It seems they don't look to sleep much. Blu had Rey and Azul laid in both his wings.
"Aw, I love being a parent, it's so cute." Blu said, rocking Rey and Azul side-to-side.
"Me too." Jewel agreed, rocking Crystal side-to-side.
"Jewel, when do you think our babies will be able to talk?" Blu inquired.
"Um, in about 10-14 days." Jewel answered, looking down at Crystal.

Meanwhile, near the fruit tree area, a female Scarlet Macaw flew around the area, looking for a certain pair of Blue Macaws. She began looking around and said: "Where are they?"
The female Scarlet Macaw sighed and continued the fly around the Jungle. She began to get fed-up of searching, and decided to land down on the ground. "At least I can relax."
The Scarlet Macaw leaned up against a tree, with her wings crossed. She saw something over at one of the trees, that caught her interest.
A male Blue Macaw had just finished collecting food for his family; he carried three grapes and two mangos in his talons. "This should be enough mangos for my family."
Before long, Blu flew away, into a tree hollow a few feet away.
The Scarlet Macaw flew into the air and perched her talons on a branch. "Wait a minute was that a Blue Macaw?"
"Hmm. Interesting." she said, flying into the sky and over to where Blu and Jewel's tree hollow.
###
"Jewel, I'm back " Blu said, setting down the mangos and grapes into the nest.
"Thanks, Blu." Jewel smiled, accepting her mango.
Before Blu or Jewel would begin their breakfast, they would always feed their children first. Blu picked up Rey in his wing and prepared to feed him."Here ya go, Rey."
Blu finished helping Rey eat his breakfast; Jewel did the same with Azul. Blu laid Rey down and began stroking Rey's head. Blu let off a sudden-sad sigh.
"What's wrong, Blu?" Jewel inquired, noticing his change of expression.
"I wish Rico was still here." Blu answered, looking down sadly.
"Me too, Blu. Me too." Jewel agreed, setting Azul down and laying him onto her stomach.
Meanwhile, back outside the tree hollow-the Scarlet Macaw landed down on a tree branch outside of Blu and Jewel's tree."I think I need to talk to those birds later." she said. She was about to fly way, until she just wondered. "Or, maybe right now."
The Scarlet Macaw curled her wing like a fist and knocked outside the hollow entrance/exit.
Blu and Jewel both heard the knock outside. "I wonder who that could be?" Blu said to Jewel, setting Rey down in the nest. He was about to continue walking, until he felt something holding his wing. Blu looked down and saw Rey holding his wing, not wanting him to go.
Jewel looked over at her mate and smiled. "Aw, look at that, Blu. He doesn't want you to go."
Blu grinned in response, and picked up Rey in his wings. "Sh, it's ok, Rey. I'm not gonna go."-Blu set Rey back down in the nest and walked over to the hollow entrance. "See, I'm only right here."
Rey merely stared at his Father; Jewel picked Rey up in her wings and cuddled him into her chest. "It's ok, Rey. Daddy will be right back."
Rey didn't understand and looked at his Mother. Blu got out of the nest, and began walking over to hollow entrance. He peaked his head out of the hollow to see a Scarlet Macaw standing on a tree branch. "Hello."
"Hello." she replied, looking at Blu.
"Can I help you?" Blu asked kindly.
"Yes, by the chance is your name Blu?" the Scarlet Macaw asked.
"Why, yes it is." Blu replied, smiling. "Do I know you, ma'am?"
"No, but you did know somebody that I knew." the Scarlet Macaw replied.
"And, who might that be?" Blu inquired.
"..."
...
...
...
"Rico." the Scarlet Macaw answered.
"Oh, right." Blu said, looking down at talons, sadly. "You better come inside."
"Ok." the Scarlet Macaw replied.
Blu and the Scarlet Macaw walked into the tree hollow and sat down in the nest. Rey, Azul and Crystal saw the unknown stranger and immediately hid behind their Mother's wing, in fear.
"This is my wife Jewel. Jewel this...What's your name, again?" Blu inquired.
"My name is Arlene." the Scarlet Macaw replied, revealing her name to be: "Arlene".
"Nice to meet you, Arlene." Jewel said smiling.
"And these are our newly born children." Blu added, showing his children who were laying down against their Mother.
"Awww, they're so adorable." Arlene smiled, seeing their newly born children.
"Thanks." Blu smiled.
"Wanna hold one of them?" Jewel offered; though she had only just met her, Jewel knew any friend of Rico's is a good Bird. Plus, you could tell she was a nice person.
"Sure. I would love to." Arlene said.
"Here." Jewel said, handing Arlene Crystal in her wings. "Be careful, she's only a couple days old."
"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Arlene reassured, rocking Crystal side-to-side. Crystal was a little afraid of this unknown Bird. "Shhhh, it's ok. I won't hurt you."
Arlene contiued to hold Crystal in her wings. Crystal was now a little calmer-soon, she learned to relax and trust Arlene. Arlene smiled and said: "She reminds me of my nephew."
"Mm-hmm." Jewel hummed.
Blu smiled, before remembering why she was here. "So, Arlene, you wanted to know something about Rico?"
"Yes, I heard he died. I was wondering how?" Arlene inquired.
"Me and him were in a garage, fighting some enemies. Johnny the snake..." Blu paused, and began to shed a couple of tears. "...Shot him in his chest."
"Mmmmm. So that's how. That's really unfortunate." Arlene said, slightly shedding a tear.
"Were you close with him?" Blu asked.
"Yes, I was. We meet when we were little." Arlene replied.
"Wow. He never mentioned you." Blu said.
"Yeah, he does that sometimes." Arlene giggled.
"That's Rico alright." Jewel smiled; she looked over at the grapes and realized she hasn't fed Crystal yet. "Can I have my baby back, now? She needs feeding."
"Oh, yeah sure." Arlene said, handing the baby back.
"Thanks." Jewel said, holding Crystal up
"Thank you for dropping by, Arlene. I hope that Rico still looks upon you in heaven. Up there." Blu said, pointing a wingtip up at the hollow ceiling, representing: "Heaven".
"I guess." Arlene said, look at the hollow ceiling. She got up onto her black talons and waltzed over to the hollow entrance. She spread her wings and jumped outside. While flying away, she called back: "Goodbye! It was nice to meet you."
Blu and Jewel have met Arlene the scarlet macaw (who is gladly in my story once again). Chapter 4 is complete.
