Memories
Today was a special day for Blu, Alex, Tomada as well as their ladies, the three couples were going on a couples trip to Rio for some relaxation and plus Tomada, Sorrel, and Lily have yet to experience the beautiful sight of the city skyline. However first, Alex and Lily needed to drop off Eddie and Cadence at the hollow that Liz and Roberto shared now.
Alex wanted to invite Liz and Roberto as well, but they volunteered to stay behind to watch the two little chicks, as well as keeping an eye on their respective tribes. Plus, Liz really enjoy her nephew and niece and wanted this opportunity to spend a lot of time with them.
"Now you sure you can take care of the two, Liz?" Alex asked for like the tenth time.
"Yes, little bro, we'll be fine." Liz replied, annoyed that her brother asked her so many times.
"Fine, I trust you sis." Alex sighed and looked down at his two chicks. "One more hug for daddy guys."
Cadence and Eddie ran to their father's open wings and gave him a big hug, Alex enjoying the hug his kids gave him and smiled.
"Love you kids." Alex said softly as he gave a kiss on top of their heads. "And be good to your Aunt Liz and Uncle Beto, okay?"
"We will, love you dad!" Cadence and Eddie said happily.
"Okay daddy, lets hurry up before Blu, Jewel, Tomada, and Sorrel leave without us." Lily called to Alex.
"Coming honey." Alex replied and let go of his kids, who went to their aunt.
As Alex and Lily flew off to join the other two couples, their chicks, along with Liz and Roberto were waving goodbye at them, while Alex had his head turned towards the back.
"They'll be fine Alex." Lily comforted her mate.
"I know, I'm just going to miss them." Alex sighed.
"Hey, just enjoy our little trip, okay." Lily said in a cheery voice. "For me."
"Alright, I will." Alex smiled the best he could.
As soon as Alex and Lily got to where the other two couples were waiting, they started out on their long journey to Rio de Janeiro, stopping from time to time to enjoy other sights, sleep, and eat. They also had some funny moments as well, such as Alex running away from hordes of butterflies and Tomada getting his head stuck in a soda machine. All three couples had a good time during the trip and when they arrived at Rio de Janeiro, the party has yet to begin.
The couples flew on and first took a little rest from the journey, stopping by Linda and Tulio's cottage, where Blu and Jewel had some alone time in their old birdhouse, snuggling up just like old times. While Alex and Lily enjoyed their own alone moment on the couch in the cottage's living room. And Tomada and Sorrel were outside on the same tree the birdhouses were on, Tomada keeping his big, feathery wings around Sorrel to keep her warm.
After some rest to relax their wings from the long flight, the couples flew down to enjoy some partying in Nico and Pedro's samba club. There, Nico and Pedro threw a special dance in for the couples as they all danced their tail feathers off (not literally!) and did so until their hearts were like race cars. Blu and Jewel, especially had the most amazing dance moves as they decided silently to recreate that first and magical moment that they danced together in the very same club, everyone enjoying the blue macaw couple dancing.
After some drinks and a chance to breath properly, the couples decided to enjoy the sight of the city at nighttime from atop of the Christ the Redeemer statue. Alex, Blu, and Jewel promised Lily, Tomada, and Sorrel that it was breathtaking and the city literally sparked with lights. However before, Blu whispered something to Alex before they took off for the statue.
Soon enough, Alex, Lily, Tomada, and Sorrel arrived atop of the right arm of the huge statue and sighed peacefully as they all smiled at the beautiful view for it was indeed, breathtaking. Alex wrapped his wing around Lily's back and pulled her in, Lily leaning into her mate and sighed happily as there was literally no other place she would rather be at.
"Oh Alex, you promised a view and I sure got it." Lily said softly, Alex looking down at her and placing a kiss on the top of her head.
"And it's even better because I get to see it with you, my lovely mate." Alex chuckled, as he smiled and enjoyed his mate's warmth.
Tomada and Sorrel were also enjoying the view as they have never seen anything so beautiful as the city lighting up at night, and like Alex and Lily, they were happy they can enjoy this peaceful moment together.
"I never want to move from this spot." Sorrel said as she held onto Tomada, who had his wing over his mate.
"Well, we can't live here my feisty one, but at least you can enjoy this moment for now." Tomada replied, chuckling.
"I guess so, it's a shame I can't stay here forever." Sorrel replied, sighing.
The two couples then became quiet and just enjoyed the warmth of each other and the view from the statue, until Lily noticed something and spoke up.
"Hey, I just noticed." Lily suddenly called out. "Where is Blu and Jewel?"
"Oh, Blu told me he has his own special place for him and Jewel." Alex replied, informing his mate of what Blu told him.
Not far from Christ the Redeemer, onto of the Vista Chinesa gazebo, sat the familiar Blue macaw couple, as this was a very memorable place, the very place Blu and Jewel spent their first night together in Rio de Janeiro.
"Oh Blu, this surely brings back some memories." Jewel sighed happily as she rested her head on Blu.
"It sure does, feels like it was just yesterday we spend our very first night here." Blu replied as he rubbed his head against Jewel's.
"Remember that you couldn't fly?" Jewel reminded Blu. "But you pulled me up, you know what I was thinking?"
"What?" Blu asked, eager to know the answer.
"That you may be nervous and awkward, but you sure are strong for a bird like that." Jewel teased Blu.
Blu blushed as he didn't really think he was that strong. Now it was his turn to say something memorable.
"I remember I said who needs flying and you told me that flying is freedom and all of that and I wasn't sure if that was for me, that birds would get lonely like that, but I'm more attached to you now than ever, flying was what made me realize how much I love you, my one and only." Blu said as Jewel grew teary.
"And I love you too, my clumsy one." Jewel smiled and gave a kiss to Blu's beak, which he returned. "Now, ready for some sleep or are you in Minnesota time now?" Jewel giggled, remembering how Blu said that he was still in "Minnesota time".
"Very funny Jewel." Blu chuckled in return." I'm ready for some rest now, but holding onto you this time." And Blu made himself comfortable against the wooden structure and opened a wing for Jewel to come in.
Jewel laid down on Blu's wing and Blu wrapped it around her and brought her face to his', the two all smiles as they kissed each other goodnight before falling asleep. The two making more fond memories for just the two of them as they laid down in peace together, enjoying the cool air of the night, while the city continued to shine from below, just like how it did many years ago when they spent their first night together in the same exact spot.
Well there we go guys! I hope you enjoyed it!
Sorry it was so short and also for the fact that it is a bit early for a chapter to take place in Rio and it's called, "Amazonian Life"…
But… Can you really argue about that Blu and Jewel moment?
