Blu simply toyed with his Yu-Gi-Oh! cards on a branch with Dominic before his friends returned from the party. Soon, they all landed on the branch with Roberto still holding Jewel's wing.

"Whoa! That was fun!" she happily said. "When was the last time we had so much fun?"

"At your recovery celebrations maybe?" Blu mumbled not loud enough to be heard.

Dominic could see that Blu was feeling sad from the situation and decided to stand up. "That's great - no, I'm serious, guys, but the night will soon be here and we need to find a spot to sleep unless we want to get eaten by predators...and mosquitos."

"You guys just have to sleep over at my nest; there'll be enough place for everyone," Roberto kindly offered.

"Nah, we don't want to bother you up in your little nest," Blu denied, trying to hide the fact that he just wanted Jewel to stay away from him. This actually earned him a glare from Jewel.

"I'm gonna go sleep with my sister tonight," Polie said. "I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"

"Mind if I join you?" Adam asked to which Brooke nodded. He smiled and turned toward his friends. "See ya tomorrow," he said and took off with Polie and Brooke.

"We'll also spend the night with our parents. We wanna catch up with the lost time. Bye," Alicia said as she and Star flew off at their parents' hollow.

Rafael, Nico, and Pedro decided to also leave to go find a good spot to spend the night with Dominic deciding to do the same with Apollo and his dojo students. After saying goodnight, they all flew off together, leaving Blu and Jewel to go spend the night at Roberto's nest.

"This is awesome!" Pedro happily cheered as he was flying with all the others. "So much talent in this tribe that is just waiting to be shown to the world! Our quest has been successful!"

"Yeah!" Nico nodded. "We just have to ask some of them to follow us back to Rio and we can already consider our show to be a classic!" he said with spinning his bottle cap and then throwing it in the air...but it didn't come back.

Upon looking up, they saw Eduardo has grabbed it in his beak and then flew down in front of them. "Sorry to break your hype, city birds, but no one ever leaves the tribe. Oh, and no human objects are accepted here. So I'm gonna have to ask you to give them all to me," he said with giving pointing looks at Dominic's sword, Alex's side bag, and Apollo's backpack and cap.

Dominic responded with an unhappy glance and, with a swift movement, caught the bottle cap from Eduardo's wings. "Those 'human objects' as you call them are very important to my friends and I and we have no intention of getting separated from them," Dominic said with giving Nico his bottle cap back.

This caused Eduardo to look a bit madly as the golden eagle defied his orders. "Listen very well, eagle, I am very grateful that you brought me back my daughters and even protected her from the outside world, but I'm the leader of this tribe and I fix the rules. So I expect you all to respect them, got it?" he asked with holding his wing, waiting for Dominic to give him his sword.

"And I respect that, but there's also something you should know: my sword and I have been together since I was old enough to fly. And anyone - and I say ANYONE who tries to separate me from it will end up with their wings cut off, capiche?" he said and exchanged a mad glare with the tribe leader.

The two birds simply glared at each other in awkward silence before Eduardo simply spat a: "Fine then" and flew away. This left the group of birds to go find a place to sleep with Nico thanking Dominic for standing up to him.


"Whoa..." That was all Blu could mumble as he and Jewel followed Roberto his nest which was twice, or maybe three times, or maybe even FIVE times larger than a normal nest. It had place for many birds and even had a small pool. Not even counting the pretty flowers and plants that decorated it. "This must have taken you years to build this."

"Ah, this nest? It's just something I put together last minute," Roberto answered. "With my own two wings of course, and my strength, and my brawn," he said with making these last ones bounce, making Jewel look at them with a little something in her eyes, making Blu feel even more jealous than before.

"Anyways, thank you for allowing us to stay, Becto," Jewel said with hugging him.

"Anytime, Ju-Ju. I'm on patrol tonight, so you'll be alone. Have a good night, Ju-Ju. You too, Blu," he said with flying out of the nest.

"He's very nice, don't you think?" Jewel asked with a happy smile.

"Yeah...," Blu simply mumbled. Jewel noticed something seemed to bother him.

"Is something wrong, Blu?"

This made him shake his head as he didn't want to ruin the day she got reunited with her family with his personal issues. "What? No, no, everything's fine." He smiled and then removed his fanny pack and backpack which he put in a corner before settling down.


As much as he hated to admit it, Blu actually passed a good night as Roberto's nest was pretty comfortable. He woke up by the time the sun started shining on the jungle and saw Jewel sleeping comfortably in another nest. This made him smile as he found her cute and like an angel when she slept.

His smile soon faded and he flew away from the nest and to the tribe's hill from where he could get a good look at the sun getting up. The sight of the sunray shining on the waterfalls and creating a rainbow made him smile for a moment before it turned upside down.

He thought about how much things have changed in the last months; not so long ago, he lived a peaceful life with Linda, back in Minnesota where he thought he was the only one of his kind. Then, he ate a fruit that turned him into a plastic bird, made his first two friends, met more birds of his kind with one that caught his heart, traveled to Brazil, found himself fighting evil smugglers including a cockatoo who could turn into metal, and now, he was in the Amazon rainforest with the rest of his species including his friends' family and her crush' best friend who had to be suasive and charismatic just like Bruno Mars. Dang it!

"Hey, Blu!" He was brought out of his thoughts by the call of Adam who arrived with Polie and landed on the branch with him. "Slept well? I know Roberto knows how to make the most comfortable nests in all Brazil," he said with a chuckled before noticing the sad look on Blu's face. "What's wrong, dude?"

"It's just... I'm glad you guys got reunited with your families and tribe and all that, but...it's not the same for me. And Jewel had to reunite with her friend who is better than me in every way," he sighed with rubbing his head.

"Actually, it's her ex-boyfriend. They dated for years," Polie pointed out, earning a slap behind the head from Adam.

"Come on, Blu, they have been together in the past. After you saved her, I'm sure Jewel must have some affection for you."

"You don't understand!" Blu shouted which made the boys jump a bit. "The only reason she had affection for me was that she thought we were the last of our kind and you guys both already had a crush. Also, I don't want her to be forced to like me only because I saved her. You guys might be happy here, but I don't belong in the wild. The only reason I'm still here is because of you guys." He then flew away, leaving Polie and Adam to exchanged concerned glances.


Meanwhile, back in Roberto's hollow, Jewel woke up with a yawn just as Roberto returned inside with three Brazilian coconuts. "Good morning, Ju-Ju. I brought coconuts for all three of us."

"Aww, thank you, Becto," Jewel said with a smile before noticing Blu was gone. "Hey, where is Blu?"

"I saw him flying toward the tribe's hill a few minutes ago. We'll give him his coconut when he returns," Roberto said with giving the coconut to Jewel who opened it with her beak.

She happily ate her favorite meal before looking down with a sad expression. Roberto noticed it. "Is there a problem, Jew?"

"No, it's just about...Blu. I don't know why, but ever since we came here, he didn't look really happy. Maybe this is because we all have been reunited with our families while he still has yet to meet his parents."

Roberto's look turned to a surprised one. "He never met his family?!"

Jewel was about to mention Linda but knew how much her tribe hated humans after they had done to her tribe, years ago. She decided to keep this for herself. "No; he lived alone in the United States since he was a child. Luckily he had friends to look after him," she lied.

"Man, I didn't know it. That's so sad," Roberto said. "I'm gonna ask our friends to be warmer to him so that he feels welcome."

"Thanks," Jewel smiled and hugged her friend again.

"Anytime, Ju-Ju. Also, there was something else I wanted to ask. I talked with your dad earlier and he is planning a party for tomorrow night to celebrate your return. Mind to dance with me that night?"

"Of course, just like when we were younger," Jewel said with hugging him lovingly. Just then, Blu returned in the hollow and she quickly broke from the hug before he could see them. "Oh, hi Blu. Where did you leave?"

"Oh, you know, stretching my wings and taking some fresh air," he decided not to mention his little chat with Adam and Polie.

"Morning bird? I like that," Roberto said with a wing around Blu's shoulders, trying to be friendly to him. "Come eat; I brought a good breakfast. We'll go see the others after that."


Well, at least, Roberto is trying to be nice with Blu. And Jewel too; she doesn't ignore him :)
