Rio: merry Christmas.
Rafael had been flying around in the jungles for 3 and a half hours now and the reason why that is, is because he was having hard time picking the right mangoes. There weren't too many right now due to the snow and stuff but luckily a few kind birds had set theirs aside and gave them to the Toco Toucan.
Rafael's heart ached as flash backs from his chick hood days echoed inside his mind and the sad part was that he could not focus on anything else. Soon, he knew he had to get back because the bone-chilling cold was getting the better of him and Rafael didn't want to be an icicle.
The Romantic Toco toucan flew towards the waterfall, which was his home, and behind the crashing down wall of water he went before he landed on the ground but what he didn't expect was that a load of birds yelled out "SURPRISE!" as he entered and an alarmed look made it to his beak.
"Aye, Corumba!" exclaimed Rafael as he was truly surprised about the fact that the cave had been decorated and a lot of birds, and Luiz and Munro, he knew were present "What's all this then!?"
The whole place had been decorated with sparkling mini Christmas lights and a miniature, plastic Christmas tree in the middle and a small, bird size fireplace was right in front of the fireplace where very tiny, wooly stockings were hung. There was also a small upper area where there was a long, rectangular, wooden made table and a feast perfect for a bird was finely laid upon the table.
Rafael rubbed his wings over his eyes to see if he was dreaming but only to find that this was not a trick! This was real!
The many birds and two dogs all smiled at the Toco Toucan's expression and Eva shoved her way through the crowd and faced her Mate before explaining with a smile on her beak which was full of pride "You see, mi pudgy Papya. Our oldest son, Carlos felt sorry for what had happened all those years ago and wanted to make it up to you by making you're former home a winter paraĆso."
It was then that young Carlos also pushed his way through the surprisingly quiet horde of birds with a small smile. The smile on Carlos' beak was full to the brim with pride and joy. The ebony feathered, red rimmed, Cream bellied Toucan chick walked up to his father and to his pleasant surprise, Rafael scooped Carlos up in his wings and hugged him tight.
Carlos was surprised for a moment. He didn't expect a hug, he more like expected a 'thank you' or such but he returned the hug all the same, snuggling his head deeper into his dad's pitch black feathers.
The birds all sighed in awe of the father-son sight before them but the moment was ruined when a familiar voice asked "Hey. Is Savannah here?"
Savannah looked and saw Romando, Remona and baby Grace at the entrance, smiling as they looked around. "Hey, you guys!" greeted Savannah as she ran towards the three birds who all smiled at the pre-teen blue Macaw.
Little Grace giggled as she reached her tiny wings up towards Savannah and the hatchling smiled as she squirmed and wriggled in her fathers grip. Savannah bent downwards and petted Grace on top of the head "Hi, Grace." she said, smiling kindly as she stroked the Crimson Macaw chick lightly.
Blu suddenly walked towards Romando and the two adult birds shook talons "Hi, My names Blu." he greeted warmly and Romando greeted likewise "Hello, Blu. I am Romando."
While all the adults talked, the chicks all played together and to Manuel and Bobby's delight, Ivanna to the party too came as well and soon, dinner was ready and Jewel called everyone to the table and Luiz and Munro had to leave to spend their Xmas eve at home with their masters.
As The birds were eating their Mangoes and other festive fruits, Rico picked up a wooden made spoon which sat on the left side of his plate and tapped it on a wine glass which Luiz had also made. You see, Luiz the bulldog had made the table, the fireplace, the plastic tree, the lights, the cutlery and plates, and the cups too.
Even thought the Bulldog was a chainsaw expert, he also worked as a carpenter and a designer for birds and that's what Carlos needed the bulldogs for. His surprise and what was his surprise, exactly? It was a Christmas party at the place he was born but there was more to it, although they will discover it soon.
"Ah hem." Rico the black macaw cleared his throat as he got every birds' attention. "Now, you all know that this is my first Christmas in this dimension and such (A/N: I'll get to that later.) but I must say, guys. This is one of the best Christmases I ever had and we couldn't have all worked together on it..." Rico picked up his wine glass in his wing "...Without each other and I thank we need to thank Carlos for all of this because, he's such a nice young Chick and we wouldn't trade him, or any of us for that matter, for anything."
The black hawk tapped his glass with Blu's "To Carlos." and Everyone, except Carlos, chimed together as they tapped their glasses with each other "To Carlos."
Carlos arose from where he sat before also picking up his cup "Oh c'mon, mi amigo. I think we need to thank the special fact that ain't me, but the fact that we're a family." Carlos chimed as he tapped his glass unknowingly against Jasmine's, making him blush deeply in the process "To family!"
Everyone repeated as they once again tapped their glasses against one another's "To family!"
But by now, Rico had drunk too much and began to dance and speak random words before he wavered a moment and passed out, his talons twitching as he laid down upon the ice-covered floor on his back.
"Oh, Cheese and Sprinkles, here we go." groaned Blu as he walked over to Rico who laid deeply asleep on the floor and was about to lift him to the giant nest built, by everyone to comfort everyone for the night but Rapper helped lift him before the duo walked towards the nest with the drunk Black hawk.
Soon, once everyone was allowed off the table, the Chick resumed playing. All but two.
Jasmine and Carlos stood in front of the fireplace while chatting. "So, Carlos. I appreciate all that you have done and everything." said Jasmine with an honest smile on her grey beak as she bashfully looked towards the Toucan half-bred chick.
Carlos smiled "A-and I thank you for being there with me..." he folded his wings behind his back as he felt himself sweating, even though that wasn't biologically possible.
"It takes someone very brave to do all of this just to make his father happy." Jasmine said nervously with her talon shuffling to the ground. She too felt sweaty in a biological way.
Suddenly, the two chicks saw some mistletoe being waved from side to side above them and to two looked up to see Savannah waving the romantic plant, which was held in her wing tips, as she laid down on her stomach on top of the fireplace.
The two slightly younger chicks shook their head at the big, fluffy, blue Macaw. Why weren't they surprised that this would happen?
Suddenly deciding that now was a good time, Jasmine pulled Carlos in for a kiss on the beak and both of their beaks touched and connected with each other like a jigsaw puzzle. This just shown that they were meant for each other.
Carlos blushed deeply had he not expected that, despite the mistle toe being held above them and he kissed Jasmine back, a smile spreading on his beak.
Luckily, nobody noticed this and soon the two lovebirds broke apart to breathe and they never felt so happy in their entire lives but to break the sweetest moment in history, a voice boomed "Ello, Everybody!"
Rafael looked towards the entrance to see two birds he had not seen in a long time. Two Kookaburra for that matter!
"Mama Angie and Papa Flinto!" exclaimed Rafael as he run towards his adopted parents and he wrapped his wings around both of them as he hugged them and the two Kookaburra hugged back. Carlos smiled at this from afar and made a 'thumbs up' Sign as he proclaimed "Works like a charm."
Jasmine arched an eye ridge in confusion before asking "You did this?" Carlos could only nod in reply and Jasmine hugged Carlos tightly in pride and adoration. Jasmine was feeling even more connected with Carlos, if that was even possible.
Rafael escorted Angie and Flinto to the table so they could sit down and everyone smiled happily at this, feeling warm and fuzzy feelings inside their hearts for the adult Toco toucan. Soon, however, it was time for bed and the chicks all were fast asleep and as we're the adults. Someone was coming and in the morning, everyone would be very surprised and very happy of what this character had left the good chicks.
Hi, everyone. Sorry for not updating for a while and I know it's been a week so don't blame me. On Friday my family and I went to Chesington world of Adventures for my younger brother's birthday and the strange thing is that I usually loved rides and roller coasters but after the first one, I kind of chickened out.
I'm not sure if it's because I have a central line now and I don't want it to get wet (it can't anyway) or if it's for a different reason. I don't know, really.
Anyways, if Rico and Rapper are in my stories then I thought it would be great if they had traveled dimensions somehow. I thought it would make sense really. What do you think...And if your wondering if I believe in Santa then I will answer your question. Of course I do! Santa's a great person, or spirit, and he even gave me wrapping paper with puppies on it last year and a lot of Beanie boos, which I have been collecting at the time.
Oh. Im ranting on my believes and recently done things and not on the story. Sorry about that.
Anyways, can you guess who that visitor was who came in the night because I think it would be plainly obvious.
Im also going to answer crexis the storyteller's question. Rapper the Red Macaw and Rico the Black hawk don't belong to me or the movie itself. They belong to two different authors on Fanfic and both have the same names as their characters: Ricardo the Black Hawk and Rapper the Red Macaw.
I have a question for you all. Even though you haven't seen the sequel yet, whose personalities have I latched on to mostly. Have I got Jasmine's or Svannah's right? Anyone? Who do you think I done a good job on Character-Wise.
I'll update soon.
