This chapter is going to stray away from Jake and Val for a while, but don't worry they'll be back next chapter. This chapter is going to be mostly about Crexis and meeting Blu's family.
Hope you enjoy!
Blu stared at the adolescent before him, not only did he look like a Spix Macaw, which was still shocking to Blu since he thought that he and his family were the only Spix's left, but this bird was purple. "Are you done gawking at my feathers sir?" Crexis said snapping Blu out of his daze, "Huh? Oh... sorry its just that your purple and you look like a Spix Macaw" Blu stated, "Well it's a long story" Crexis said as his expression saddened. Crap Blu what did you do! Blu yelled in thought, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up memories, my bad." Blu said patting Crexis on the back, "Oh, no that's alright, no bother" Crexis said who was trying to muster a smile. Blu was about to ask where Crexis came from when Tiago zipped into the hollow, Tiago was in tears of laughter, Blu took a second, "Tiago, what did you do this time?" he asked, "Ssshhhhh." Tiago warned, Blu gave him a quizzical look but his questions were soon answered by a raging Carla whose face was covered in mud, "Wheres that little brat! Dad, did Tiago pass by here?" she asked, "Um... No..." Blu said trying to lie his best, Carla noticed a blue feather behind her dad, "Aha! Found you!" she exclaimed as she pulled the bird from out behind her father, this resulted in a 'Ow!' Carla thought she had pulled her brother but this bird was purple, "What?" Carla said thoroughly confused. Crexis had been thrown on his beak, "Ow! What was that for?" he asked her, "Oh, I'm sorry I thought you were my brother" Carla replied still confused, "Well I can assure you that I am not your brother" Crexis said replied rubbing his beak, "Well see ya, I gotta find that runt of a brother" she said turning her attention towards the hollow entrance, where Tiago was desperately trying to escape, "Nun un, Not so fast you blue feathered rat!" she yelled as she charged her brother.
Carla sat atop Tiago with a victory smile, she loved being the oldest.
"Carla please get off your brother! Or else..." Blu threatened, "Or else what?" she asked, Blu took a moment "Hmmm..." he hummed, "Lets see what could I, AHA!" Carla looked at him with dread, Oh no what is he gonna take from me? she asked herself, "Gimme your Ipod" Blu demanded calmly, "WHAT!?" Carla shrieked, "No Dad please it's my life!" she begged, "Whoa cool! You have an Ipod?! What generation is it?" Crexis blurted out, Blu, Carla, and Tiago looked at him in disbelief, "You know what an Ipod is?" Carla asked amazed, "Yea one of the _ had one when they..." Crexis' voice trailed off, "One of the what?" Blu asked, "Oh it's nothing just bad memories" Crexis replied. Blu signaled his kids to stop asking so many questions, and they obliged. At the moment Carla, Tiago, and Crexis talked about music, Ipods, and dancing. "You know some friends and I are planning a special carnaval for this year, ya wanna help?" Carla asked, "Wha? Me? You? Help? Together" Crexis stuttered, although he was brave and daring, but girls, girls got to him, it was like a weird tingly feeling, he could handle snakes, and crocs, but girls were the worst, they made Crexis all nervous. "What the matter frog in your throat?" she asked, technically a frog could never fit in our throats" Bia said as she landed in the hollow, "Ugh... great now the brainiac's here" exclaimed Tiago, "You're just like dad, a bbbiiiggg NERD!" he teased, Bia just rolled her eyes in response, "Okay simpleton" she huffed as walked over towards Carla, but something stopped her, stopped her dead in her tracks. Bia rushed over to Crexis, she looked him up and down, "Whoa! When did you get here? And why are you purple?" she asked as she picked up his wings and checked his feathers, "This is definitely going in my journal!" Bia exclaimed. "So Crexis, about that carnaval show you in?" Carla asked again, "Oh y-yeah sure" he replied.
Crexis was about to fly out of the hollow when Jewel landed in front of him, "AH THE HELL LADY!" Crexis yelled, like before he wasn't afraid of a lot of things but Girls and Val scared him, "Hell lady?" Jewel asked, "Have we met?" Jewel asked, Crexis looked up, this wasn't Val. He sighed in relief, "I thought you were someone else" Crexis stated, "Well who is the hell lady?" Jewel asked, Blu walked over to Jewel and whispered something in her ear. "He means Val" Jewel looked at Blu and burst out laughing, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" she yelled, "Are you serious?!" she asked in disbelief, "What is it? Was it something I said?" Crexis asked confused, "No, no its just that you met Val at a bad time that's all" Blu explained, "Oh... whys that?" Crexis questioned, "She was in heat" Jewel answered, "Heat?" Crexis asked. "You'll understand when you're older" Jewel said as she preened the back of Blu's head, "Actually speaking about preening it looks like you could use a good preen" Jewel stated, at the word 'preen' Crexis cringed, when ever he heard that word he thought of Val and how she had chased him into the very hollow that they were standing in right now. "Carla! Bia! Come here, you need to practice your preening!" Jewel shouted, "Oh no!" Crexis mumbled in despair, "this cant be happening!" he yelled as the three girls started to run their beaks through his feathers, he felt awkward, awkward and uncomfortable, he shook his feathers causing the three girls to back off giving him room, Crexis took a deep breath, "Alright bub hold still! I need the practice" Carla stated as she held Crexis in her wings. Maybe, just maybe, she might understand. Just maybe.
