After Linda exited the cab ride, she began walking towards the sanctuary entrance/exit to go and see her best friend/companion Blu.

Linda walked inside the sanctuary and was greeted kindly by the female receptionist named Carmo who wears a white lab coat like Tulio, beige pants, black shoes, and a green shirt. "Good morning, Linda. Are you here to see Dr. Monteiro?"

Linda replied to Carmo with a kind tone and a smile on her face. "Yes, I'm here to see Tulio. Is he around?"

"He's in his office. I'll let you in." Carmo answered as she placed her hand on top of a red button which buzzed the door so it could open for Linda to walk inside and other visitors. "In you go."

"Thanks Carmo." Linda smiled before turning back to the door and walking her way through it which would lead her down the hallway where there was multiple birds who were ill, injured, or needed taking care of.

Linda continued to walk her way down the hallway until she had found Tulio's office, and it was not hard to figure out since it said on the door 'Dr. Tulio Monteiro'.

Linda looked through the window to see Tulio, who was examining a little military macaw who by the looks of it, was only a adolescent.

Linda could not help but walk inside his office without knocking to investigate what the Brazilian ornithologist was doing. "Tulio?"

Tulio looked upwards to see his new girlfriend while he kept his hands around the small bird to keep him stood up. "Morning, Linda."

Tulio then looked back at the bird, who squawked and chirped a little. Tulio turned his attention back to him and began to insist him.

What had happened to this bird is he had flown into something a great speed and broke his left wing and had caused nerve damage in his talons. His wing would recover just fine, but his legs were in bad condition. If Tulio could not help him walk again soon, he may never walk again, meaning he would not be able to grab food and fight off attackers.

But lucky for him, Tulio loves birds and would do anything to help them if he had the chance.

Tulio carefully held the small bird in his hands and helped him slowly walk across his desk talk.

This military macaw may be a wild pet and not domesticated, but he knew Tulio was trying to help him recover again, and had to trust him if he was able to walk ever again.

Tulio helped him walk a little further until it looked like he was walking just fine on his own, even though Tulio had helped him walk across the desk with his hands.

Tulio then slowly moved his hands away from the military macaw to see if he could stand on his own.

The military macaw, who Tulio had named 'Raul', smiled and was really enthusiastic when he could stand on his own two talons on his own strength. He lifted one of his talons up and moved his toes a couple of times to get the feeling back.

Tulio smiled as he stroked Raul's head with his finger softly, and Raul chirped as a "thank you" to Tulio and closed his eyes, relaxing and allowing Tulio to stroke him. And now that he could walk again, all he had to do now was wait until his wing was healed.

Tulio set the military macaw down onto a wooden poll for him to perch his talons on before he turned his attention back to Linda. "Hello, Linda."

Linda could not help but smile, finally seeing how generous and kind he actually was to all birds. "Wow, Tulio. I can't believe you did that for him."

"I never give up on a bird." Tulio replied to Linda, looking back at Raul who was preening his good wing with his beak. "So, what brings you here, Linda?"

"Well, I just did-you know what." Linda replied, placing her hands in he pockets while talking code word in her sentence so she would not surprise Blu if he was around and listening. Linda had some big news for him.

"Oh." Tulio said, understanding what Linda had meant in her code language tone, and he could not help but sound enthusiastic. "That's good news! Are you going to tell Blu soon?"

"Yeah, that's if he's not busy with Jewel?" Linda said, rubbing the back of her head with her hand and brushing back her hair from over her eyes.

Tulio leaned back on his chair with his hands together, thumbs twiddling with each other. "I think I need to check Jewel's wing anyway. You can talk to him then."

Linda nodded in response before she and Tulio left the office together, both holding hands as they walked away now that they were together as a couple.

A little while later, the blue macaws had awoken from their peaceful sleep and were now ready for a great day. And what Blu did not know, is his day was about to get even better.

In the room where all the sick birds were resting and recovering, Tulio was sitting by a table with Jewel standing on the table next to him. He slowly checked her bad wing to see if it was recovering nicely.

And though Jewel was not comfortable with humans, Blu had convinced her Linda and Tulio were nice people and would do anything to help her, so Jewel decided to trust him.

While Jewel was having her wing checked by Tulio, Linda and Blu were together in the private room for them to talk to each other in private (since it's a private room of course).

Linda was sitting against a soft chair with Blu laid down in her arms like he was a newborn baby. Linda stroked Blu's head with her hand, and listened to him chirp in relaxation.

Linda smiled as she continued to stroke her companion's head, but now that they were alone, it would be the perfect time to give Blu the good news. "Blu?"

Blu merely looked at Linda in response due to the fact she could not understand him; every time Blu said anything to Linda, all she could hear were squawks.

Linda set Blu up onto her leg and now was the time to give him the news. "Blu, do you love Jewel?"

Blu did not know how to reply to Linda (even though she does not understand him) because he was worried if he said yes, Linda may cry. Blu knows he loves Jewel now and forever. Blu has to stay with his loved one.

Struggling, Blu merely nodded in response with his face looking down at Linda's leg. He looked back up at Linda, only to see a smile on her face which left Blu with a curious face, his eyebrow arched, and his head cocked to the side in confusion.

Linda placed her hand on Blu's back and stroked him with her finger. "Well, Blu, what would you say if I told you I have decided to open another bookstore here and sell the old one back home?"

Blu's chocolate-like eyes widened, not believing what Linda had just said. Was he dreaming? Was he hearing wrong? Nope, this was real. He could not help but yell out how enthusiastic and excited he was.

Blu jumped out of Linda's arm and flew around the room as fast as his wings would carry him, acting like he just had a full bag of sugar.

Blu flew around for at least a two minutes until he eventually flew back down to Linda, who was watching the entire time, and jumped back into Linda's arms.

Linda smiled and hugged onto her best friend and closed her eyes under her glasses. And Blu also closed his eyes, rubbing his head against Linda's arm, smiling, and chirping softly.

Now that Blu was gonna be staying with both Linda and Jewel, this day could not possible get any better. Now all Blu had to do is wait until Jewel's wing was fully recovered, and then they could both fly together for the rest of their lives.

But Blu still wondered how all this happened for him in just a couple of days? Maybe it was fate that made all this happen. Maybe it was fate that brought Blu and Jewel together. Maybe it was fate that chained Blu and Jewel together so they would never be apart.

Even if it was fate or not, this was certainly gonna be a good life for Blu. He can experience his new life with Jewel, and experience his old life with Linda.

And it's safe to say this is one of the best things ever.

The next day, Blu had woken up early because he could not sleep over his excitement. In fact, he had left the sanctuary to celebrate.

Blu flew high in the sky, all across the city of Rio de Janeiro, flying like he had never flown before (even though he only learned to fly not too long ago before meeting Jewel).

Sun is shinin' in the sky,
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin'
Everybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day, hey.

Runnin' down the avenue,
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city on the streets
Where once was pity,
Mr. Blue sky is living here today.

Blu hummed quietly to himself and performed a barrel-roll just for fun. He could not believe everything was going so well for him for the first time in his life. He had lost his home when he was just a little baby chick, he was almost smuggled out of Rio to be sold, and was almost killed by the crazed-cockatoo named Nigel.

Mr. Blue sky, please tell us why,
You had to hide away
For so long (so long), where did we go wrong.

Mr. Blue sky, please tell us why,
You had to hide away
For so long (so long), where did we go wrong.

Hey you with the pretty face,
Welcome to the human race
A celebration Mr. Blue sky's
Up there waitin' and today
Is the day we've waited for

Blu kept his eyes closed and inhaled a sweet smell of fresh air through his nostrils. And even though his eyes were closed, Blu had nothing to worry about due to the fact he was flying high in the sky, and the only thing he had to worry about crashing into was another bird or an airplane.

Mr. Blue sky, please tell us why,
You had to hide away
For so long (so long), where did we go wrong.

Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do,
Everybody smiles at you.

Blu finally got the chance to open his eyes and looked below, where he saw the Christ the Redeemer statue below him, the statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro for tourists to see and for the locals to go to when enjoying a day out.

(Mr. Blue Sky, Mr, Blue Sky, Sky)

Mr. blue you did it right,
But soon comes Mr. Night,
Creepin' over, now his
Hand is on your shoulder,
Never mind I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way

Mr. Blue sky, please tell us why,
You had to hide away
For so long (so long), where did we go wrong.

Blu then perched himself on top of the Christ the Redeemer's head. He looked down and say many people gathered by the statue, enjoying the statute or shocked by how big it was, considering the statue is the biggest thing in all of Rio de Janeiro.

Blu smiled as he looked around the city. At first, Blu thought this place was full of violence, danger, and not a very friendly place. But now Blu could see how great this place was. Everything was perfect, and it was even almost better than Minnesota.

Hey there Mr. Blue (sky)
We're so pleased to be with you (sky)
Look around see what you do,
Everybody smiles at you.

Blu sat down on the Christ the Redeemer's head and looked up at the sky while thinking happy thoughts in his mind. "(This place is great. I don't think I've ever seen anywhere better than this. And I'm sitting on Jesus' head. This is gonna be a good life to live when Jewel's wing heals.)"

There you have it, everyone. Blu now gets to be with both Jewel and Linda (even though you've seen it in the movie at the credits. :D). Thanks for reading, I will update again soon.

Until then, have a good one.
