Chapter 7: The Birds Get Shipwrecked
A few hours later, when Blu was about to close his eyes to rest, the ship went over a huge ripple of water, making the mechanical transporter to bounce up a little. When it came back down, Blu and Jewel's cage crashed to the floor. The door opened, and they rolled toward the stack of books, knocking them down like bowling pins.
When the books fell to the floor, the rectangular cage crashed, as well, and the trio of Carnivale lovers escaped, but then, Blu stopped a little too late, and he crashed into an Inca statue, which fell to the floor, the head coming off, and to his surprise, their children rolled out one by one!
"Kids!" cried Blu, overjoyed. "Wow, I should have known that... owwww!"
The rectangular cage (after the ship bounced again) landed on his right wing, and to make things worse, the ship turned a little bit too far, and the cage slid to the far end of the crate, taking the injured Macaw with him! "Help me, please!"
Jewel went after Blu, but the ship turned again, and he broke away from the cage, going into her!
They crashed near Pedro, and when the ship bounced another time, they flew out of the crate through the air hole! "Help us!"
"Come on, let's go... Rio style!" Rafael flapped his wings, and he went after the two Macaws, with Pedro and Nico (who were giving the Macaw children a piggy-back ride) close behind.
Blu and Jewel continued to roll, almost reaching the ship's edge, but then, the Toucan picked them up, and flew up in the air, along with the others.
Meanwhile, the captain and the crew of the ship were leaving via lifeboats, and so were the members of El Gringo, but in their own lifeboat.
Nigel flew towards them, perching himself on the shoulder of his owner/the head of the criminal group, and one of the members asked, "Uno momento, Senor, what about the birds?"
"Ah, forget about them, Vic," said the head of El Gringo. "We already got the money for kidnapping them... now, row faster!"
"Ok, Rafael, what do we do now?" Blu asked, who was trying real hard not to look down.
The toucan said, "We're already doing it, Blu... flying away so that we don't end up struck by lightning."
Pedro felt a raindrop from the storm above their heads, and said, "Well, I want to find an island soon because Ruby is hurting my back!"
"Mommy!" cried Blu and Jewel's daughter. "Uncle Pedro called me fat!"
"What? No, I did not!" Pedro yelled. "Besides, you... ow, let go of my ear, girl!"
"Stop it, you two!" cried Jewel. "Blu, are you scared of lightning?"
The injured Macaw cried, "A little, honey, but in case we do get struck by it, I want you to know that I..."
"Oh, my boy's gonna say the L word!" smiled Rafael, but then, thunder roared loudly, and a lightning bolt hit all eight birds, making them fly into the air like a rocket!
Passing into the eye of the storm above, thunder came again, and the Macaws held each other tightly, with Blu saying, "Jewel, if we die, I want to tell you that I..."
Before he could finish, lightning bolts struck them again, and they zoomed back down below, screaming, and closed their eyes... THUD!
Author's Note:Oh, no, where did Blu, Jewel, Rafael, Nico, Pedro, and the three Macaw babies end up? Did they hit rock bottom, or find comfort and safety in a tropical paradise? All I can say is that where they end up, life is about to change... but, to my displeasure, you won't find out until Monday, but don't get upset... just review in the meantime, and watch Rio, in theaters, so that Fox and Blue Sky can make a sequel... which I have a pretty strong feeling will happen. Do you agree? )
