It was the middle of the night, and everyone (Blu, Jewel, Linda, Tulio, and Mr. Gordon) spent less than a whole hour trying to look for Tiago.

"I still say this is crazy." Mr. Gordon said. He was around the house with Linda, "Take it easy, Gordon. An actual member of my good family is gone…and you haven't exactly been any help, especially since you keep getting mad at my husband because Blu was just trying to be responsible." Linda said as she got tired of Gordon complaining all day.

Blu and Jewel flew around the jungle, and even they had no luck. "Oh Blu. I'm still worried." Jewel said. "Mutual, but we'll find him. No doubt about that." Blu said. He was scared as much as she was, but he didn't wanna admit it and wanted to keep up a positive attitude in front his mate. Also, Tulio was trying to find Tiago his own way (if you know what I mean).

Yes sir, everyone spent their entire time trying to find the little prince, but what they didn't know was that he was right under their noses (literally).

Hi Hoe

Hi Hoe

It's off to the parade, I go

Hi Hoe

Hi Hoe

That singing came from Tiago. He sang that because he thought it would set the mood for him while he's digging. Oh, did I mention that he's underground and for the past two weeks now, he's been digging tunnels under the house, and now he's trying to finish it to make a fast way to the parade? A lot of kids like him enjoy doing stuff like digging holes…but what Tiago made was pretty big.

Tiago continued digging, then sneezed "Achoo! Uh…I like what I've made, but I wouldn't be a gopher if they paid me. I better check my map." Tiago wasn't as smart as Bia but he did know set up something and be prepared for it. "Let's so now…my tunnel is less than a mile long, and I'm not too far city. I just gotta figure out where to stop."

He kept thinking through "Hmm. Let see, I could reach to the closest road…but with all of those crazy drivers, I could end up underground for good. Uh…I'm hungry, maybe I can get something before anybody notices me." You see, Tiago would've gone to the parade by flying but the problem was that he didn't wanna get bored until the show started tomorrow, and he knew that if he flew his parents or anyone else in the city would still spot him. So he knew going under would pass the time and become invisible. He flew out of the tunnel, and quickly went into the kitchen. Straight before the night started, Blu did finish making more desserts, so he went for them (again!) The house was empty, and grabbed two muffins, and as he was fly out the window, Mr. Gordon looked over, and Tiago accidentally ran into him. "OW!" Mr. Gordon yelled as he got hit, and so scared by the surprise attack that he fell on his back.

"Ow. What the? Hey, hey, I found him!" Gordon trying to inform Linda. She heard him and tried to quickly come over. But Tiago flew off fast, and made it back into the tunnel. BTW, the entrance to it was a Nigel sized hole that was behind the tree that held the bird houses. "Where is he?" Linda asked, Gordon answered "I just saw him. He was in the kitchen and I think he accidentally slugged me silly. Anyway, can you help me up please?" Linda helped him up, and saw that he was hurt, so she brought him into the dining room and let him rest. Blu, Jewel, and Tulio also came in and asked "What happened?" "Gordon says that he found Tiago and he got away again." Linda told them.

"Well did you see him?" And Gordon answered "Out of the kitchen and passed the main tree in your yard." Tulio walked to check, and Blu said "Hey Jewel, can you stay here, I'm gonna go help Tulio." Jewel agreed to it, and she just settled with Linda and Gordon.

Tulio came out the door with Blu on his shoulder. He walked up to the tree and looked around, "Tiago's not here." He continued searching…then "Where the devil is that little birdIEEE!" Tulio and Blu both yelled because they created a second hole which led to the tunnel, and which caused them to end up rolling down to Tiago. As he was still digging, he heard his dad and Tulio still rolling and stopping. He laughed "Oh…look what dropped in." Tulio had trouble getting up, but did notice Tiago's work. "Ah! What the devil!?"

"Tiago! What have you done!?" Blu flying to him. Tiago got nervous and said "Uh…I was digging for clams."

Blu wanted to yell at him but didn't "Tiago. Of all of the tricks you've caused today this has gotta be the most-" Blu was cut off because they heard the entrances getting collapsed. "Guys, we're trapped. Just stay here, I gonna see if there's another way out. I'm surprised by the way, I mean, how can one young hatchling do all of this!?"

Tulio walked out and tried to look, and Blu still gave Tiago a firm and disappointed "Well, your highness, you disobeyed your king again. Now if-I mean, when we get out of this, I hope you've learned your lesson." Tiago then gave his dad a begging look "I-I'm sorry, hey you know how much I love you, dad?"

Blu just couldn't resist his reaction "How much, Tiago?"

"So much that if we're trapped then there's nobody I'd rather be trapped with. Well, besides mom."

"Thanks. Now, just stay close to me, and let's not do too much talking, we gotta conserve the oxygen."

"I got a better way, let's just exhale."

Blu was gonna continue to calm him down then heard tapping. "Tiago-Wait. Tiago, I think we're gonna be saved. I hear some tapping."

Tiago looked and said "I'm pretty sure those are your knees knocking. But I'm feeling scared too. I always thought I'd end up in that great big luxury birdhouse in the sky, never in that great big hole in the ground."

Blu settled "Tiago, you gotta try to be brave. We're gonna be fine, we'll be outside and free once again. Also, your mom and I had a little chat earlier, and I have to admit I might've been a little harsh lately. So when we get out, we can go to the parade tomorrow."

Tiago said with a big smile "Really?"

"Really."

So Tiago thought it was his turn "Oh, and I also have to admit, I have pulling to many smoke and mirrors on you and I'm sorry. I'm also sorry for taking my title too seriously, so from here on you'll never see the Prince of Tricks again, just the Prince of Rio."

Blu chuckled "I'll believe that when I see it."

Tiago froze for a moment but laughed with his dad "Yeah, you're right."

So they were both laughing together like there's no trouble at all, then Tulio dug open a new hole, "Guys come on, I think I found our exit." They followed Tulio out, and ran into the house. Linda, Jewel, and Gordon were sitting in the dining room, and Tulio cried out "I found him! I found him! You'll never guess where Tiago was." Gordon was still feeling bothered "Oh really? Shoot."

Tulio began to speak but Linda noticed something "Uh guys." She pointed out to the kitchen, everyone else turned and saw everything shaking. Linda said "Tulio, it's a-a-a-" Gordon spoke "It's an earthquake!" Then Blu said "No, it's a T-Quake."

Gordon stood up "N-N-Now keep calm everybody, I'll take charge here. Uh-Uh-Uh into the doorway!" He ran up to the front door and smiled "It's the safest place in the house." Too soon by the way, because its top beam fell right on his head. "OW! Uh-Uh everyone outside it's the safest place around!" He yelled and tried to get out first. Tulio and Linda ran out for Fernando and Blu, Jewel, and Tiago did the same thing for Carla and Bia. But then…after that shaking, it just created a big hole in the dining room floor and the whole thing stopped. Everything was still intact, but that "T-Quake" did leave a bit of a mess, and Blu and Jewel looked mad, so Tiago tried to change that "Well…this has certainly been a…fun night. I'm going to bed now." He flew off, and the two mates just gave each other the "what are we gonna do with him" look.

The next day…

Blu, Jewel, the kids, and everyone else came home with joy because how great the show went. The King and Queen and Royal Heirs of Rio made their appearance and were famous all around. As a matter of the fact, all the people and birds of the city saw the show and loved it. Seeing how Blu and Jewel looked as King and Queen, and of how amazing the kids looked as the heirs.

Everyone had a great time. "Yeah, I hope you're happy now, heir." Blu smiled to Tiago, and he replied "Oh I am, and like I said yesterday, no more Prince of Tricks."

Blu smiled, and walked into the kitchen expecting a prank. Then…BOOM! A banana nut muffins came right to him. "Banana nut?" Blu said, "Yep." Tiago laughed, and the girls chuckled a little. Jewel came up and got some of the crumbs off, she kissed him too, and the family joined into a good hug. "Can't wait for next year." Tiago said chuckling.

And he has no idea…

THE END
