Rio Friends from Moose Lake

Chapter 10

All the birds, marmosets, and pets were on a sidewalk and Roger said to Blu and Jewel, "Sorry we caused all that trouble for you and your kids, and friends." Blu then replied, "It's okay, despite all the trouble, it wasn't so bad. It's not the reunion I hoped for but it's one I'll never forget." Jewel was holding Erik, Esperanza, and Ramon in her wings and said, "Yeah, too bad Gloria turned out to be a crazy jerk." Roger then replied, "Try living with her!" Nico flew by and said, "How ya gonna make sure she doesn't do something like this again?" Marry flew by and said, "Don't worry, we'll fix her." Robert then said, "Yeah, it's too bad we didn't get to enjoy Carnival." Pedro flew by and said, "It's not too late. The parade is back on track across town." Blu smiled and said, "That's great! What do you guys say, one more song?"

All the animals wanted to do it and so they decided to let the show go on. They went to the parade and scared off the performers of another float. The float was blue with fake trees and a giant flower with a platform for a performer to stand on. The marmosets brought cans to use as drums and the lizards, cats, dogs, and birds came on and started to beat the cans. Jewel started a song.

Jewel and all the ladies sang, "Boogie Wonderland uh uh. Dance! Boogie Wonderland!

Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts of men who need more than they get!

Daylight deals a bad hand to a woman who has laid to many bets!"

Blu and all the men start to sing, "The mirror stares you in the face"

Jewel and the ladies join in again, singing, "And says baby uh uh it don't work

You say your prayers though you don't care

You dance and shake the hurt!"

All: "Dance! Mumbo!"

Jewel and others: "Boogie wonderland! Dance! Dance! Dance! Mumbo!"

Rafael twirls Eva around with their eighteen chicks dancing around them in a perfect circle.

Mauro was putting his arms in front of each other as he stepped forward like a rapper with Nico and Pedro doing the same thing on both sides of him and Luiz dances on his hind legs, all four of them sing, "Check it out Check it out check it out
Yo soy Raul penguino mas cool latino 100% espanol my brothers que!
Loco me yamien una senorita me siento como flama la fiesta biala biala muchachita"
Mauro was spinning on his feet with Nico and Pedro flying around him and Luiz shaking his but behind them, singing, "Mi corazon tiene dynamita boom! exacto que coma en el plato"
On the next lines they all did Jazz hands "Que mames Sier tu papi penguino

booyaka booyaka"

Erik then went, "Mumbo!"

Blu started slow dancing with Jewel as she and the ladies sang, "All the love can't be gone"

All: "Mumbo!"

Jewel and ladies: "All the need to be loved can't be wrong"

All: "Mumbo!"
Jewel and ladies: "All the heart songs are playing and my heart keeps saying boogie wonderland, wonderland"

Blu started singing the Spanish words of the song that were hard to understand. While he sang he, Jewel, Esperanza, Erik, and Ramon flew into the air. On the next lines a bunch of birds flew into the air and when they sang them, the stopped and put their wings at their sides and made a giant image of a bird.

All: "Dance! Mumbo!"

All: "Dance! Boogie Wonderland!

Dance! Mumbo!

Dance! Mumbo!"

Erik flew to two cans and hit them at a certain beat and five marmosets hit their cans at the same beat, just like in Happy Feet. Esperanza flew to two cans next to Erik and hit them at a different beat and the marmosets repeated it as well. Ramon flew to two next to her and played a slower beat and the Marmosets repeated it on their cans too. Blu flew onto a big can behind them and hit his feet on it, at a rapid beat and instead of repeating it, the Marmosets just hit one of their drums once.

All: "Chiga chiga chiga,

Reba reba reba! Boogie!

Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance! Oooooo… Mumbo!"

All the birds, lizards, marmosets, cats, and dogs started tapping their feet on the ground at musical beats.

All: "The Dance! The Dance! The dance the dance the dance! Boogie!"

The humans couldn't understand what they were singing but their chirping sounded musical and catchy and they enjoyed their dancing, so they cheered loudly.

After they finished their performance they all left. The birds and marmosets went home and the pets returned to their owners. The only ones that were still out were Blu and his friends and Roger, Robert, and Marry.

Jewel said, "Well it was nice meeting you guys but we need to go." Roger replied, "Yeah same here; we'll never forget you guys. But before we go, why didn't you come back to Moose Lake Blu?" Blu looked at him and said, "Well to be honest, I fell in love with Jewel and I got some new friends. They didn't replace you guys as my friends, but they are one of a kind. And for some reason, even though the two of us had been through so much trouble, I felt more at home here than I ever did in Moose Lake. That's why I won't leave here." Marry replied, "That's a nice story; and don't worry, we understand." Robert said, "Yeah, I see what you mean about your friends here, they seem irreplaceable to me." Rafael said, "Yeah, I can see why he liked you guys back in Minnesota." They had all said goodbye and before Blu and the others left he said, "Come back sometime so we can have a great time together again." Roger turned around and said, "You got it!" Jewel turned and joked as she said, "Just bring a leash for Gloria."

They all laughed and Blu and Jewel flew with Erik, Esperanza, and Ramon to their tree where they would get a good night's sleep.
