Chapter 10

Night time has fallen over the Amazon forest.

Inside the huge hollow which served as an infirmary for the injured birds, Blu was lying on his back in a nest.

Surprisingly, Jewel was sat next to him while looking at him with a worried look.

Then, Mimi came to Jewel who turned her attention to her aunt.

Jewel: "So? Is he alright?"

Mimi: "Of course, my wildflower; I closed his scratch and cleaned the blood from his head. Now, we only have to wait until he wakes up."

Jewel smiled as she was reassured.

Mimi: "Now, I'll leave; there's another guy who needs my help. I'll be back soon."

She said with flying out of the hollow as Jewel waved her goodbye with her wing.

Then, Jewel turned her back at Blu who was still asleep.

She then looked at his immobile wing lying on his side. She didn't know why, but she truly wanted to take it and, since they were alones in the hollow, she could do it without problems.

So, she extended her wing and took Blu's one putting her pointing feathers between Blu's.

She knew it was weird, but she couldn't prevent herself from loving this moment.

Then, she turned her attention to Blu's stomach which looked so smooth.

She then putted her free wing on it and begun to softly stroke his belly.

Jewel was enjoying each seconds of hanging Blu's wing and each strokes she gave to his tummy.

Jewel: (I wonder how he would feel if he was awake at this right moment. Would he like it and enjoy it as much as me, or would he hates it, feels awkward and tell me to stop?)

Suddenly, she was putted out of her thoughts as she heard a moaning noise.

She then turned her head to see in horror that it was Blu waking up.

Once his eyes were fully opens, Blu blinked before seeing Jewel standing over him.

Blu: "J-Jewel? It's you?"

Suddenly, he was feeling something warm and soft on his stomach and lifted his up to see Jewel's wing on his belly.

Then, he looked at Jewel with a curious look as Jewel was blushing.

Jewel: "Sorry, but you looked so relax and peaceful that I wanted to make you feel better."

Blu lightly nodded his head.

Blu: "And that explains why you're hanging my wing?"

He asked to make Jewel realize that he saw her hanging his wing.

Jewel quickly let go of Blu's wing and turned around with blushing a lot.

Blu, who was also blushing, went back on his feet.

There was an awkward silence for a couple of seconds until Blu broke it.

Blu: "So, did we win the Amazon match?"

Jewel then turned toward Blu with an excited look.

Jewel: "Of course; you and Felipe have been both knocked out and, since there was nobody left in the red team while Roberto was still alive, the blue team has been declared winner!"

Hearing this, Blu putted a surprised look on his face hiding his excitement.

The tribe will have the control of the Brazil nuts for an entire month and all of that thanks to him. That was freakin awesome!

Then, his thoughts were interrupted by Jewel who grabbed his wing with hers (again).

Jewel: "Now, come on! We're gonna miss the party!"

Blu then putted a curious eye brown on his face.

Blu: "Party?"

Jewel: "Yes; the tribe is celebrating our win over the red team at the Brazil nut grove! There is tasting Brazil nuts, dancing, singing and more. Now, come on!"

She said with grabbing his wing and quickly running out of the hollow as Blu was about to protest, but finally chose to knock his beak since he knew it useless to argue with her.

A little time after, the two birds, who were flying as Jewel let go of Blu, arrived at the Brazil nut grove which has blue birds everywhere partying by dancing and eating Brazil nuts.

As the two birds were walking through the blue macaws, Blu took the time to look around; there was a part made of rocks which was used as a bar were a guy was giving Brazil nuts to the people who came to see him, another part which was used as a dancefloor where many birds were dancing and, in front of the dancefloor, a big rock which was used as a stage for the birds to sing.

Justly, Blu saw on the stage that Nico and Pedro were performing some song which was making everybody dancing.

He smiled and rolled his eyes before stopping with Jewel who justly turned toward him.

Jewel: "So? What do you want to do first?"

Blu putted his pointing feathers on his chin while thinking about it.

Blu: "Well, it's pretty hot here, so I would take a drink."

He said with walking toward the bar followed by Jewel.

Once arrived in front of the counter, the blue macaw which was giving the drinks turned his attention to Blu and Jewel.

Blu: "Good night, I would like to have something to drink, please."

Suddenly, the bar guy putted a surprised look on his face.

Bar guy: "Hey, but I know you; you're the guy who made us win at the pit of doom!"

Then, he took a Brazilian coconut in the shelf of the bar and lifted it in the air.

Bar guy: "LET'S MAKE A TOAST TO THE BIRD WHO MADE US WIN AT THE PIT OF DOOM!"

Then, all the birds around cheered for Blu before drinking their coconut juice.

Blu was blushing a little before taking the coconut given by the bar guy.

He then broke it with his beak before drinking the juice inside which was tasting pretty good.

He then turned his head to see that Jewel was drinking a Brazil coconut too.

After swallowing a drink, she liked her beak.

Jewel: "Brazil coconut, that's my favorite fruit."

Blu smiled before handing his coconut for a toast.

Blu: "Cheers!"

Jewel: "Cheers!"

She said with smashing her coconut against his and the two birds drunk their juice.

Once their coconuts were empty, someone went behind Blu and gave him a nudge on his shoulder.

He turned to see his teammates, Roberto, Erico, Bruno and Jenno who also had Brazil coconuts.

Blu: "Ho, hello, guys."

Roberto: "Hello, comrade."

He said with putting a wing around his shoulders.

Roberto: "We wanted to congratulate you for your win in the pit of the doom."

Erico: "Yeah; that was freakin awesome!"

Jenno: "For your first match, you were pretty good."

Bruno: "You defeated the red macaw's leader! Can you believe it?"

Blu smiled.

Blu: "Thank you, guys; that's nice from you."

Suddenly, two birds jumped next to our friends; it was Nico and Pedro.

Pedro: "Blu! You're alive!"

Blu: "I never was in death danger."

He said with a chuckle.

Nico: "Anyway, we came here to tell you that we want to make our 'little American song' and that we need you for that."

Understanding what he means by 'little American song', Blu quickly nodded and turned to his friends.

Blu: "I have to go; I'll be back later."

He said as he flew toward the stage with Nico and Pedro.

While flying, Blu noticed Rafael and Eva dancing together in the crowd which made him smile.

A few moments later, our three friends were on the stage ready to sing.

Before beginning the song, Blu took a look around him; Rafael and Eva were smiling to him, the same was for Jewel and the blue team. Then, he saw elsewhere Eduardo, Sienna and Mimi with the last two also cheering for him as Eduardo was simply glaring at him with his eternal mad look.

Then Blu, Nico and Pedro began to sing their song "Real American" by Hulk Hogan.

Once the song was over, all the birds (or almost) were cheering for them as they were leaving the stage for other birds to make some music.

As Blu was walking through the crowd, he noticed some females looking at him with seductive smiles and making some moves to flirt him which made him blush.

Suddenly, Jewel jumped in front of him.

Jewel: "Hey, Blu. Come with me; there's something I must absolutely show you!"

She said with flying off.

Blu hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to fly off with her.

On Eduardo and Sienna's side...

Sienna: "I told you; I'm sure that Jewel and this kid are more than just friends!"

Eduardo: "What do you mean?"

Sienna: "It's evident; my little wildflower is in love with this kid!"

Hearing this, Eduardo immediately lost his temper.

Eduardo: "I don't want to hear this! My daughter will never love a pet; she will mate a pure wild bird! And this pet isn't the chosen one of the blue phoenix; Roberto is and that's the bottom line!"

Sienna sighed with rolling her eyes as she was annoyed.

Back on Blu and Jewel's side...

After sometime of flying, Jewel landed on a branch farther from the party and turned to Blu who was still flying toward her.

Jewel: "Come on; you have to see this."

She said with hinting Blu to come with her wing.

Blu obeyed and landed on the branch next to Jewel.

Then, what he saw shocked him; from the branch on which they were standing, they could see a huge lake which was carrying the reflect of the moonlight as this last one was full.

This was a beautiful show that no one would like to miss.

Jewel: "Beautiful isn't it?"

Blu: "Absolutely."

He said not removing his eyes from the lake and the moonlight.

After a couple of seconds, Blu turned his head to look at Jewel and see her under the moonlight which made her turquoises eyes shine even more.

Blu: "Actually, I know something even more beautiful."

Hearing this, Jewel turned her head to look at Blu with a curious look.

Jewel: "What it is?"

Blu remained in silence for a few seconds as he couldn't believe what he was gonna say.

Blu: "...You..."

He quickly said before looking away.

Jewel smiled and blushed a little at this compliment before looking back at the lake.

After a few more seconds of silence, Blu chose to put himself comfortable for admiring the lake, so, he went to the tip of the branch and sat his back against the tree with crossing his legs together and putting his two wings behind his head to relax.

Jewel looked at him with a curious look.

Jewel: "Why are you doing this?"

Blu turned his attention to her.

Blu: "Do what?"

Jewel: "Sitting like this? It looks so...human."

Blu: "What's the link?"

Jewel: "Well, you're a bird; not a human."

Blu was getting annoyed.

Blu: "I can sit the way that I want, thank you very much."

Surprisingly, Blu was expecting Jewel to argue again, but she just said nothing and looked back at the lake.

The next five minutes were just silence until Jewel chose to break it.

Jewel: "Stay here with me."

Blu quickly turned his head toward her with a curious look.

Blu: "Huh? Of course I'll stay; you wouldn't like to look at this alone, aren't ya?"

Jewel shook her head.

Jewel: "No. I mean stay here in the Amazon and live with me."

Blu was so shocked by what she just say that he lost his balance and fallen from the branch to the jungle floor.

The impact force that struck his back made him feel pain through his body.

Jewel: "BLU!"

She screamed as she flew next to Blu and helped him to get back on his feet.

Jewel: "Are you okay?"

Blu chose to ignore her question.

Blu: "You want me to stay here?"

Jewel: "Well, yes, why not?"

Blu: "But I thought you hate me?"

Jewel: "I don't hate you; I just pity you for your lifestyle and that's why I want you to stay here. To make of you a true wild bird, a member of the tribe. You could be a member of the blue team and fight at each Amazon matches; you could help us protect our home and our families from humans with your knowledge and even more."

Blu was just stunned by what she just said and chose to turn his back on her to think about it.

Blu: (Does she want me to stay here because she doesn't like who I am? Because she thinks I'm a bad and pathetic bird? Should I leave Linda, Tulio and Fernando? Would the other birds accept me here? What would Aiden say?)

For now, there was more question than answers.

Blu was feeling a kind of sadness deep inside of him.

Jewel: "So, Blu? Do you accept?"

Suddenly, after hearing this, all the sadness and misery inside of him turned into a pure anger and rage. Rarely have he been so frustrated in his life and all that anger, hate and rage was targeting Jewel right now.

Blu: "AM I OKAY?!"

He screamed at the top of his lungs while turning to face Jewel who jumped back in fear.

Blu: "AFTER CALLING ME A PET, A BIRD FROM THE CITY, A NERD AND MOCKING MY HUMAN TRAITS, YOU HAVE THE GUTS TO ASK ME TO STAY HERE?! WELL, GUESS WHAT? MY ANSWER IS NO!"

Jewel's fear soon turned into sadness as she looked at the ground.

Jewel: "Okay...Sorry for asking you."

She said with flying away while crying.

Then, Blu's rage calmed down and he just realized what he did and was feeling a little guilty about what he did.

Blu: "I'm sorry, Jewel."
