Epilogue

Blu Razgriz: none of us enjoy death or suicide, but I suppose my last chapter was better like you said. And thanks.

RIO2lover100: Yeah, it is nice to see that Helen and Rex had their egg.

MCGamemaster90: Yep, they had the egg. Cute indeed.

rio craziness: Who is the baby? I think we all know that. :D. And thanks, amigo.

Rapper the red macaw: Thanks, and I too am happy for them. (even though I wrote it.)

Jeff117: Sorry for the wait, and Didact really did survive? Well, we must find out how then.

mw4fan: Rico and Rapper remind you of your friend eh? You like to sing. So do I.

Arlene The Scarlet Macaw: Yeah, it is a sweet chapter. I too like the songs. And thanks.

Loco Vampire: Is Nico's birthday April 7th? I do not know. XD

Leo the Hyacinth: You're right there. Giving birth is a very painful thing.

Blu100-Jewel100: Thanks, and Rio the Darkness 3 is complete now. :D

Francisco the Golden Macaw: I guess it was a cool chapter, and yes Rico is still recounting his story to Blu and Jewel and the others.

spyrofan34: Sorry for the late update. Here it is now though. Enjoy.

A couple of weeks had passed since Rico and Rapper had watched Helen successful give birth to her egg. It was a nice quiet morning throughout Rio. Amongst the Jungle, Rico was soaring through the air while feeling the cool breeze blow at him. While Rico was flying, he had no idea a light blue figure was flying his way.

The figure had almost made contact with Rico, and caused them both to spin around a couple of times. Rico stopped spinning as he watched-who ever crashed into him fly away. By the looks if it, she was a Blue Macaw.

"Hey, watch where you're going next time, lady!" Rico called, as she flew away into the Jungle. Rico sighed and continued his flight. "The nerve of some people."

Reality

"Wait, wait, that was you?" Jewel said, with her eyes wide-open and a slightly surprised.

"Yep, me alright." Rico smiled, while taking a break from his back-story.

"Why didn't you tell me this before?" Jewel inquired.

Rico shrugged in response and rubbed two of his wingtips together. "I don't know. I guess it wasn't really important."

"That sounds good enough." Blu grinned, before he starred out of his tree hollow and noticed it was already night time. "Wow, it's night already? I didn't feel that long."

"I guess time really does fly." Jewel said, while letting of a tired yawn. "Maybe we should get some sleep."

"Sounds good to me." Rico agreed, as he walked towards the hollow entrance/exit with his wings spread out. Rico took flight out of the hollow and made his way back home.

After Rico was gone, Arlene got back up onto her talons too and extended her wings, before she flew out of the hollow. Now it was just the Blue Macaws left in the tree hollow.

"I think we're gonna go, too." Rey said, as he and his brother and sisters walked towards the hollow entrance/exit. Now that they all had their own tree hollows, they didn't really have any reason to stay with their folks.

"Guys, you're welcome to sped the night," Blu offered. "It is pretty dark."

"Are you sure?" Rey asked, speaking for all himself and his brother and sisters.

"Yeah, we don't mind." Jewel replied with a smile followed after. "This will always be your home."

"Okay, I guess we can spend the night." Crystal agreed, while she and her sister and brothers walked into the nest. The family of Blue Macaws all got into their nest and tucked their head in their wings and drifted off into a deep peaceful-loving sleep.

###

The next day

The next morning, the Blue Macaw family had decided to spend a day at the beach together with Nico and Pedro. When they had arrived at the beach, Blu, Rey and Nico were all playing catch with each other, with a small soccer ball they had found.

Jewel was laying on her back in the side with her teenage-daughter Crystal. As for Pedro, Azul and Jessica they were all playing around near the water, while splashing each other playfully.

The weather today was absolutely beautiful. The sun was had a perfect heat temperature, there was no humans near them so they had space, and ever since the Gangster Club had been destroyed, all of their troubles were over now that all of the enemies were defeated.

While they continued their day of fun, Jewel opened one of her eyes and leaned back up, and to see Crystal still sitting next to her. Jewel stretched her wings and dusted the sand of her back.

"Hey, Mom." Crystal greeted, with a smile followed by. "Had a nice nap?"

"Yeah, it was nice." Jewel replied, while looking at her who now looked just like her mother when she was a adolescent. "Thanks for asking."

Crystal smiled in response before she looked out into the ocean and sighed sadly. She turned back to her mother and asked: "Mom, do you miss us?"

Jewel never thought Crystal would ever ask a question like that. Instead of replying, Jewel wrapped her wings around Crystal and brought her into a little hug. "Crystal, or course I miss you. You'll always be my baby girl."

"Thanks Mom." Crystal smiled, while she hugged in return with her teal eyes closed.

"I love you, Crystal." Jewel smiled, while she continued to hold Crystal in a hug. "I remember when I first held you in my wings. You were...So small...Just a baby...Just a little egg."

"Don't worry, Mom. This isn't the end. Me, Rey, Jessica and Azul will come and see you and Dad ever once and a while." Crystal reassured, while she opened her eyes and looked at her sad mother. "We will never forget you guys."

"I know...I know..." Jewel smiled, as she and Crystal hugged once again.

While the mother and daughter continued to hold each other in their embrace, Blu with Nico and Rey had taken a break from playing catch with each other. They had been playing for at least an hour. That's gotta be a record for them.

Blu sat down on the sand and congratulated his adolescents son and friend. "Good game, guys. Good game."

"Thanks." Rey and Nico thanked simultaneously.

There conversation was interrupted by the sound of-what sounded like an annoyed British person. Blu, Rey and Nico turned their attention over to the sound of the voice where they saw Rico and someone they had not seen for a few years.

It was indeed Thomas.

"Hey, it's Rico and Thomas." Blu said, while him and Rey and Nico watched as they were walking their way.

"Thomas, will you stop complaining?" Rico requested.

"No, ya know well fact I don' like the beach. Too sandy." Thomas complained, before kicking the sand away with his talon.

"Just shut up." Rico sighed, before he spotted his friends having fun together on the beach. Rico smiled as he made his way over to Blu and the others. "Hey, Blu, Nico, Rey."

"Hi, Uncle Rico." Rey greeted.

"Hey, Thomas. Haven't seen you for a few years." Blu smiled.

"Ya, been busy deelin' with other things, ya know." Thomas smirked, while he kicked more sand away and Accidentally knocked some into Nico's face causing him to cough and rub his eyes.

"Ow, blah, blah!" Nico coughed, while rubbing his eyes with his wings. "Thomas, not cool!"

"Sorry." Thomas apologized with a grin.

"What brings you two here?" Blu inquired kindly.

"I decided to spend some time at the beach, and then I ran into Thomas on the way." Rico answered, before he turned his head around and saw Jewel and Crystal still hugging each other. Rico smiled while turning back to Blu. "Looks like you and Jewel really miss your kids."

"Yeah." Blu replied, while following the direction where Rico was looking, to see his wife and daughter still hugging. A tear shredded in Blu's eye, but he quickly wiped it away with his wingtip. "They grew up so fast..."

"We know, Blu. We know." Rico said, as he and Thomas flew back into the air. "We'll be right back. We're just going to get some snacks."

Rico and Thomas flew their way down the beach to get some food. While they were gone, Nico flew over to the water to see what Pedro, Azul and Jessica were up to.

Now it was just Blu and Rey.

Blu looked over at his adolescent son and couldn't help but smile. Blu extended his wings open and said: "Rey, come here."

"Yeah, Dad?" Rey inquired, while he walked over to his father. Before anything else could happen, Blu put his wings around Rey and brought him into a hug. Rey chuckled in response. "Dad, what are you doing?"

"Rey, I just wanted you to know I'm proud of you." Blu replied.

"Proud of me? What for?" Rey asked.

"You've finally left the tree and began your own life. You've taken so much responsibility. I want you to know that me and your mother are proud of all 4 of you and wish you good luck."

Rey couldn't help but smile as he returned the hug with his father. "Dad, thanks for that. I was actually a little nervous about starting a new life."

"Don't be, you'll be fine." Blu smiled.

"Thanks, Dad. But you're still here, right?" Rey inquired.

"Yeah, I'm still here." Blu replied, before he got a little sad expression. "But, Rey. Me and your mother aren't gonna be here forever."

"...I know that." Rey agreed, before he closed his eyes and hugged his father again. "I love you, Dad."

"I love you, too, Rey." Blu smiled, as he and his son hugged each other just like how Jewel and Crystal were hugging a few feet away. While they continued to hug, the sun was beginning to blow more heat down onto the beach.

Nico took his bottle-cap from his head and waved it in front of his face for cold. "Woah, it just got hot."

"As usual." Pedro agreed, while splashing so water from the ocean onto his face.

"Uncle Nico?" Jessica said, while gently tugging his wing.

"Yes, Jessica?" Nico replied.

"I thought you gave your bottle-cap to Uncle Rafael and Aunt Eva's graves." Jessica queried.

"Oh, I did, sweetie." Nico smiled, while placing his wing around her. "I always have a spare one though."

"Okay." Jessica nodded now knowing why Nico still had a bottle-cap on his head.

As all of the Birds enjoyed their day at the beach, Rico laid down on the beach and placed his wings behind the back of his neck and began to take his memories back from years ago.

After all, he knew later on Blu and Jewel were gonna want to hear the rest of his back-story.

###

Night time had finally arrived after a beautiful day in all of Rio. Blu and Jewel gave their goodbyes to their children, Rico, Nico and Pedro before they returned to their tree hollow.

When they had arrived, Jewel glazed out of the hollow exit/entrance while Blu was still eating his mango for dinner. Jewel could still not believe after all these years, there kids had grown up but Blu and Jewel hadn't really looked like they had changed at all.

After Blu had finished his mango, he walked over to Jewel with his wings spread out and then put them both around Jewel. Blu had never got sick of keeping Jewel warm. He knew it was one of the things he did to keep her happy.

Jewel relaxed in Blu's wings as he laid them both down in the nest. Jewel turned herself around and pressed her body into Blu's as she got cozy in his wings. Before they went to sleep, the two lovebirds looked at each other and both said to sentences to each other simultaneously.

"I saw how you were hugging Rey."

"I saw how you were hugging Crystal."

Blu and Jewel smiled at each other before they shared a quick kiss with each other. Jewel laid of head down on top of Blu's chest and closed her eyes. Blu rested his chin on the top of Jewel's head and felt her feathery crown gently tickle his face.

"Goodnight, Jewel." Blu whispered, before he closed his eyes and drifted off into a peaceful loving sleep.

"Goodnight, Blu." Jewel whispered in return, as she closed her eyes too and began to drift off to sleep.

It's good to see the Blue Macaws are spending time together like a family once again. Next chapter coming soon. Be sure to review. :D
