"They're related?" questioned Tulio.

Abe smiled.

"Yeah. I always had a feeling they were."

Abe walked over to the blue macaws and smiled at Salvia.

"Salvia, I want to introduce you to your family."

He pointed at Blu and Jewel with an open palm, closing any gap between his fingers.

"Blu and Jewel. They are your parents."

Salvia was still in shock about the news. Even the Blu birds were still trying to process the information. If Salvia was related to Blu and Jewel, that would mean she wasn't previously called Salvia. Jalin had told her ten years ago, a chick, his sister, named Aurora disappeared. It was possible she was that chick, meaning her real name was Aurora. Still shocked, Jewel walked up to her and gently grabbed one of her wings.

"I had a feeling that you were…"

Salvia retracted her wing from Jewel's wing.

"How could… What…huh… Wait! This is all… It's… It's just too much."

"Please, calm down."

Salvia took a deep breath and exhaled smoothly. She looked at Jewel. She turned around and walked to her cage. A mirror hung in the bottom of the cage. Salvia went in the cage and looked at the mirror, studying her image. She peeked from the side of the mirror to Jewel and looked closely at her. She did somewhat resemble Jewel, and her dark wingtip feathers looked similar to Blu's dark shaded feathers. Blu walked over to the opened door of the cage.

"Aurora?"

She faced Blu as soon as he called her that.

"Blu… Please don't call me that. My name is Salvia. How...can I be…Aurora?"

Tears slowly formed in her eyes.

"I-I don't even kn-know," she continued. "It-it's just…"

Salvia began to weep softly.

"Um, Salvia? Can you please walk out of the cage?"

She looked at Blu, who was actually her acclaimed papa, and nodded. She slowly walked to him. Abe watched as she did and figured out what was going on. The truth was too overwhelming. They needed some private time to figure their thoughts out. He faced the doctors.

"I think we should allow some privacy. I kind of feel awkward just standing here as this unfolds itself."

The doctors figured he was right, and the trio of humans left the room. The Blu birds were now the only creatures in the room. Salvia walked out of the cage and looked at her father. He warmly smiled. She looked down, which caused Blu's smile to drop.

"So," began Salvia, still looking down at the table, "if I am this Aurora chick, then you and Jewel are my parents?"

"Yes," answered Jewel as she walked up to Salvia.

Salvia looked up and glanced at Jalin, Leoncio, and Elena.

"So, they are my siblings?"

"Yes," Jewel nodded.

"And we are a family?"

"Yes."

"I'm sorry, but I think I would remember my family."

Jewel and Blu looked at each other with worried faces. They faced Salvia.

"But Salvia, the test-" started Blu.

"What about the test?" she asked angrily. "It could be wrong too, just like that last one."

"It could be-"

"There! You just said it! How- What- I…I…have to go."

Tears rolled down Salvia's cheeks. She flapped her wings and left the room through the opened window in a hurry. Blu and Jewel looked back. Instead of feeling happy like in those fantasy stories, it was just hurt and discomfort. Jewel walked up to Blu.

"Blu, I feel so horrible."

"I do too. We should find her and explain ourselves. She needs us more than ever."

Blu and Jewel took off to find their long-lost daughter. Jalin and his siblings watched as their parents left. Leoncio faced Jalin.

"So, what are we going to do?"

"What can we do?" Jalin asked plainly. "Aurora's back. The truth will be exposed."

"Not exactly. As long as Aurora doesn't get her memory back, we're in the clear."

"Yeah, but still-"

"Listen, Jalin. You know how much crap we will be in if Aurora figures out her past? We will be in so deep that any bird will not even want to talk to us because of the stench, even after infinity showers."

"Then what do you suggest?"

"Well, you are closest to her. Comfort her, but make sure her memory doesn't come back. I've seen it in T.V. shows where the lost family member lives with his or her family happily without really knowing the truth. Make sure that it happens like that."

"You do know that's all acting and part of the script."

"If they can make it work, why can't we?"

"Yeah, but that's-"

"You have a better idea of not being shunned out?"

Jalin thought about it. He sighed when nothing came to mind.

"Fine."

Jalin flapped his wings and took off. Elena looked at Leoncio.

"But how long can we make a lie last before the truth spills?"

"As long as it takes. What we did was unimaginable, and we can't take it back. I wish there was another way, but I can't find one."

Leoncio was right. They had to continue to lie to live a content life of never being shamed by other birds. She sighed and grabbed one of Leoncio's wings with her wing. The two birds looked at each other; each had the worrying face of Aurora might figuring out the past.

Salvia looked down from the Christ the Redeemer Statue. She sighed as tears still poured out of her eyes. What she heard…was horrible. If they were all family, why did she forget them, and why did they forget about her? The test… The test could be wrong again, but Angelica said Jalin's blood was tainted last time. She trusted Angelica's judgment. If that was the case, then all of it was true. She sat down, curled herself close to her knees, and cried.

Then Blu and Jewel are my parents. How can that be? Sure, I look like them, but I want there to be a small chance the test was wrong. Facing them for the first time… God, it's so unbearable. What happened? Did I run away? Did they cast me aside? Did they abandon me? Why can't I remember!

"Salvia?"

She looked up and slowly turned around. Blu smiled at her. She turned back, away from him.

"What?"

"I know this is hard."

"Hard? Hard!" She then stood up and faced Blu angrily. "Of course it's all hard!"

Blu was frightened by this action, but he just smiled.

"You think this is funny!"

"It's just that…you remind me of your mother when we were younger."

Salvia's face relaxed.

"Still," she said in an irritated way, "this isn't a joke."

She walked back to her spot she was at and sat down. Blu sighed and sat next to her.

"You know how I was able to find you so quickly? When I'm down, confused, frustrated, or anything else, I come here to reflect on what happened. I think this statue holds some mystery to it. It always relaxes me, and the scenery of Rio also helps."

There was a moment of silence.

"Can you tell me what happened?" asked Salvia without facing Blu.

Blu looked towards the several houses of Rio, thinking.

"Mm. It happened ten years ago. Jewel and I had returned from our date to pick up you kids from Tulio's home. Linda, my owner, came with us in tears. She gave us a note that said you couldn't live with us and had to run away. You wrote that you were the accident of the family and should be fixed. Your mother and I gathered our friends and went out searching for you. We that since you were a chick, you couldn't have gone far. We searched and searched and searched. We hardly ate, slept, or spent time as a family. We were all searching for you. After a week, we had to call off the search for our friends.

Just because the search was over didn't mean we stopped looking for you. Everywhere Jewel and I went, we still had that hope of finding you. I would even do some night searches after your mother fell to sleep in tears. Three months passed, and we had no luck. We had to face facts. You were most likely gone. I had always told Jewel you weren't dead. You were very smart and cunning for your age. I had a strong feeling you would survive.

So, our lives continued our lives. It was hard. Jewel was still grieving over you. One day, she told me to look over the kids because she needed a bath. I agreed, and she left. She didn't return for an hour, which was very unusual. I was about to go look for her when she was being carried by my friend Fides. She explained that Jewel had tried to drown herself. The whole experience…huhhhhh. I can't describe it."

Salvia faced Blu.

"So, I ran away?"

"Yeah," breathed Blu and then he faced Salvia, "but you're back. My daughter is back."

Salvia smiled a little bit.

"So, I do have a family," she said and looked out towards Rio. "But I can't remember anything from my childhood."

"Probably if you saw something from your childhood, it could trigger your memory," said Blu. "It worked in Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess."

Salvia had a confused look on her face.

"The what?"

"Oh, don't tell me you haven't heard of The Legend of Zelda,"

"Um, I'm sorry. No."

"Wow. I'm really a nerd bird."

Salvia chuckled and shook her head happily.

"Hey!"

Salvia and Blu saw Jalin and Jewel flying towards them. They landed on the arms of the statue. Jewel smiled at Blu.

"Oh, Blu. You found Salvia."

Blu nodded.

"Yeah. We were just here, talking."

Jewel looked at Salvia.

"Salvia?"

Salvia smiled.

"It's okay. I feel better. I just wish we knew sooner. The whole blood test being screwed up just prolonged this meeting."

Jewel walked up and wrapped her wings around Salvia. Salvia was a little shocked by this, but she accepted the hug nonetheless. After all, she needed one. They parted from the hug and faced each other.

"I just wish I remembered what happened to me. Blu told me you almost committed suicide because I was gone. Is that true?"

Jewel looked at her with shameful eyes.

"I did. I was too depressed that you were out of my life, Salvia. Every one of my children is special to me, and losing any one of them would devastate me. I was lucky that Fides saved me, because I wouldn't have been here today, seeing the daughter, gone for ten years, all grown up."

A tear of happiness rolled down Jewel's cheek. Salvia smiled and looked at Blu.

"I don't know if my memory can be restored, but I will try anything to get it back."

"Well," said Blu. "Something from your childhood here should help. The things you had…we never threw them away by some miracle you returned to us. They are in the den. We should probably go and hope it works."

"Okay, but can I speak with Jalin alone?"

Jewel and Blu looked at Jalin and then back at Salvia. They nodded and took to the skies. Jalin just stared at Salvia, still shaken up by the fact she was Aurora. Salvia walked up and grabbed both his wings. He looked down at their cuffed wings and then faced her. She slightly smiled.

"Jalin, I hope this doesn't change our relationship. I still really, really like you."

Jalin just smiled contently.

"No. I have the same feelings for you. It's just that I'm still recovering from the boulder that hit my head, if you get me."

"I get you, Jalin," smiled Salvia.

She came closer to him and gave him a kiss. It was a quick kiss to establish their relationship hadn't ended. They parted from the kiss.

"Jalin, thank you for being here with me. It's so… I don't know how to describe it."

"I understand."

Salvia beamed.

"Well, we can't let Blu and Jewel wait any longer. They've waited ten years for this moment."

"Alright."

The two birds flew off to catch up with Jewel and Blu. Aurora's mind kept on thinking about what happened to her in her childhood. Though he kept a smiling face, Jalin knew this happy dream would turn into a nightmare for him.
