A hard choice

Before we begin, I'd like to thank Ricardo the Black Hawk for letting me use one of his OC's for the rest of my story. Thanks you Ricardo.

This is chapter 7. Enjoy the story.


Blu had did it. He had finally confessed his full feelings to Jewel and now he has finally made up his mind. Blu wants to stay in Rio with Jewel. However, what would Linda's reaction be? Blu has been her best friend for 15-years. Without Blu Linda will be all alone back in her Bookstore In Minnesota.

It was night in Rio at the moment. Linda had returned with news that she and Blu will be in Rio for 3-more-days. Linda was in her room sleeping soundly.

Blu however was laying against the couch cushion while trying to sleep. His girlfriend, Jewel, was laying in front of his body, under his wings and with her head rested on Blu's feathery chest.

("How's Linda gonna react when she finds out I wanna stay with Jewel?") Blu was still worried about Linda's reaction even though she had gave him the option to do what must. ("I don't want her to get hurt.")

Blu looked over at sleeping-peacefully Jewel and formed a smile. Blu had to admit-she looks beautiful when she sleeps.

Blu could not wonder what will happen when he tells Linda his decision For now-Blu laid his head on the couch with his chin rested on Jewel's head.


The next morning, Linda had awoken from her all-night sleep. She yawned and rubbed her eyes while looking for her glasses on the side of the counter.

Linda finally found her glasses and put them onto her face. The first thing Linda saw was a note in front of her. It must've been from Blu.

Linda picked up the note and began to read it's content.

Dear, Linda, I thought about the offer you asked me the other day. You gave me a choice to stay here with Jewel or go back home with you. Linda, I've made my decision. I wanna stay here with Jewel. I'm sorry, but I love Jewel, and I can't let her go.

I hope you understand, Linda. You will always be my best friend and I'll never forget what you did for me. When you go back home, don't forget-I will always remember you. Always.

Sincerely, your best friend.

Tyler Blu Gunderson.

After she read the letter, Linda took her glasses from her face and wiped her eyes with her finger as she could feel a couple of tears coming along.

"Okay Blu, if that's your decision I respect that." Linda looked up at the ceiling and whispered something to herself. "I will miss you, Blu."


While Linda was laying in her bedroom, Blu watched over Jewel as she was still sleeping with her head tucked in her wings, and with a smile.

Blu smiled before he stood on the kitchen counter while staring out of the window and at the beautiful city of Rio.

Everything outside looked such like a beautiful place. The people, the Samba, the whole place looked like words Blu couldn't make out.

("This place is SO beautiful. Maybe when Jewel is in the air again, this won't be s bad place at all the live in.")


Linda now knows Blu wants to stay with the women he loves. But even with all the love they now share together, there is still one thing they need.

They haven't got the chance to find a home in the Jungle. Maybe Blu can find one while Jewel is recovering.
