Chapter 12 Valentine's Day.
As the months passed Blu and Jewel's relationship began to grow, 'I love you' became more and more common phrase.
Blu began to become less and less nervous around Jewel as time went on, he also began to complement her beauty.
Linda returned to school, the sixth grade to be exact.
Blu and Jewel were now entering their pre-teen years.
This was going to be their first Valentines Day together so Blu wanted to make it very special... but how?
Blu awoke to find Jewel still cuddled next to him.
'Wow, she's so beautiful when she sleeps.' Blu thought to himself as he stared down at her, a beautiful and peaceful smile plastered across her beak.
After a few minutes Jewel began to stir before finally waking up.
She opened her eyes to see Blu smiling down at her.
"Morning beautiful." Blu smiled.
"Morning handsome." Jewel smiled in return, they then shared a quick kiss.
"So, Jewel, Valentine's Day is coming up, do you want me to do anything for you, since its our first together?" Blu asked, he loved Jewel with all of his heart and he wanted to please Jewel for their first Valentines Day as a couple.
"Blu, I don't need you to do anything for me, but it's sweet you want to." Jewel smiled sweetly before hugging Blu tightly.
"Are you sure you?" Blu asked returning the hug.
"Of course, just spending the day together would be great." Jewel smiled.
'I have to do something for her, she deserves it.' Blu thought to himself.
After getting up Blu and Jewel relaxed together most of the day, they watched television most of the time.
Blu wasn't really focused on the television, he was more focused on what to get Jewel for Valentines Day.
"Blu... Blu!" Jewel called interrupting Blu from his thoughts.
"Yeah?" Blu smiled.
Jewel simply kissed Blu on the beak.
She then looked into Blu's eyes which caused Blu to blush.
She then rested her head on Blu's shoulder.
"I love you, Blu." Jewel cooed.
"I love you too, Jewel." Blu smiled.
After a few hours Linda's mother's car pulls up, Linda and her mother step out carrying grocery bags.
They enter their home to be greeted bye Blu and Jewel's warm smiles.
"Hey guys." Linda smiled.
Blu and Jewel happily squawked in response.
Linda and her mother began to put the groceries into the cabinet and the fridge.
"Hey, Blu, can you come here for a sec." Linda called.
"I'll be back in a minute." Blu smiled before standing up.
"Wait!" Jewel called.
"What is it?" Blu asked turning around, Jewel then stood up and kissed him on the beak.
Blu and Jewel looked into each others eyes.
"Hurry back handsome." Jewel smiled before winking at him.
Blu then flew to Linda's shoulder.
"Hey Blu, I've got to show you something in my room." Linda smiled.
Linda walked up the stairs to her room.
Once they reached the top Linda began to talk, Linda reached out her arm for Blu to perch on.
"So Blu, are you planning on getting anything for Jewel for Valentine's Day?" Linda asked.
Blu simply nodded.
"Well would you want me to get one of those heart shaped boxes full of chocolates for you to give to her, one of the small boxes are really cheap so I could one with my allowance." Linda informed.
"Great!" Blu squawked in excitement.
Linda had lived with her feathered companions long enough to tell when their squawks were in excitement or not.
"Cool, so on Valentines Day right after I get out of school I could by one." Linda smiled.
Blu then flew back down the stairs to been greeted by Jewel's warm and beautiful smile.
He touched down beside her and kissed her on the beak.
"So what did Jewel want from you?" Jewel asked.
"Can't say." Blu smiled slyly.
"Oh c'mon, please for me." Jewel smiled fluttering her eyelashes.
"Sorry, it's a surprise." Blu smiled.
"Alright, fine." Jewel surrendered.
Blu and Jewel spent the rest of the day with Linda relaxing in front of the television.
Valentine's Day the day Blu had been preparing for had finally arrived, Blu was waiting for Linda to be released from school, he knew that she would buy a box chocolates for him to give to Jewel.
The bell rung for school to be released, Linda walked to her locker pulled out her backpack she then put up her books.
She walked out of the building to walk to her home.
She made a quick stop at a small flower shop to be greeted by a old women with gray curly hair.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" The old women asked.
"Can I get one of those little boxes of chocolates, please?" Linda smiled.
"Of course sweetie, who is it for, your boyfriend?" She smiled.
"No, its for my bird." Linda answered before walking out.
'For a bird that's a first.' The old lady thought to herself.
Blu and Jewel had spent the whole day together, Blu's wing wrapped around Jewel's shoulder, she then rested her head on Blu's shoulder enjoying the television show they were watching.
Linda entered the house with the box of chocolates hidden in a bag.
"Hey Blu, can you come here for a second?" Linda smiled.
Blu knew that she had the box so he quickly flew to her shoulder, Linda then walked back into the kitchen.
"Okay Blu, are you ready?" Linda smiled.
Blu simply nodded he was very excited to give Jewel the gift.
He then flew back to the couch where Jewel waited patiently.
He walked to Jewel and took her wings into his.
"Jewel, I need to tell you something, being with you these past few months have been the best of my life,I love you Jewel, you're the greatest thing to ever happen to me." Blu smiled.
Jewel's eyes began to become moist.
"I know you said that you didn't want me to do anything special for Valentine's Day, but I think you really deserve this." Blu finished, he then motioned for Linda to come to him.
Linda walked out carrying the box of chocolates and a small rose that rested atop it.
"Oh, Blu." Jewel said quietly as tears began to run down her cheeks.
Linda placed the gift beside Jewel.
"I know it's not much, but I hope you like it." Blu smiled.
"Blu, you really done this for me, even after I said you didn't have to anything?" Jewel smiled wiping the tears from her cheeks.
"I would do anything for you, you know that right?" Blu smiled.
"Of course I do." Jewel smiled before kissing him passionately.
They had kissed many times before, but this was the most passionate yet.
After about twenty seconds they separated gasping for some much needed oxygen, they stared deep into each other's eyes before turning their heads to see Linda smiling at the young couple.
"I'll give you love birds some privacy." Linda smiled before walking away.
Blu and Jewel looked into each other's eyes once more before sharing another passionate kiss, and another.
After another make out session they began to relax in front of the television.
"I love Blu." Jewel smiled.
"I love you too Jewel." Blu smiled.
This was their first Valentines Day, and it won't be their last.
