Ch. 21: Mother's Day and New Acquaintances
written: 5/23/12
The next morning the now teen macaws awoke to see a bright blue sky with a few white clouds looking down upon them. Pearl looked at her brothers with a smile and
gestured them to come over and make a huddle. "Hey guys what do you say we bring Mom and Dad breakfast in nest for once?" suggested Pearl. "Sounds great sis!" replied
Topaz. "It sure does shouldn't we sort of hint where are so they don't get worried?" inquired Jose with a look of seriousness on his face. Pearl looked at him and knew that he
was trying to be cautious and responsible at the same time. "Great idea, we wouldn't want them to worry." she said. "So lets leave them a note." suggested Topaz. "Okay my
dear brothers what should I put down on behalf of all of us?" Pearl asked her brothers as she took a piece of wood to carve the message on. She listened to her brothers and
started to carve the note which said: "Dear Mom and Dad, we figured that since you've always brought us food in the past we would return the favor and bring you food for
once. We'll probably get you some mangos and since the tree is so close we should be back within five to ten minutes. Love, Pearl, Topaz, and Jose." "There we go." said Pearl
placing the note in front of their Mother and Father's faces. "Now lets go, they'll be awake any minute now." "Right." said her two brothers. The three siblings took to the sky
to find some food for their folks.
About three minutes later Jewel awoke to a bright sunny day, but when she looked around her she started to panic, her teenagers were nowhere to be seen. She looked to her
other side to see her mate sleeping soundly, and as always she never wanted to wake him, but she thought it nesseccary in this case to do so. She started to shake Blu
awake, "What is it Jewel?" Blu asked slightly annoyed at his mate's shaking. "Blu, I can't find our teenagers." cried a paniced Jewel. She expected him to start panicing as well
but instead Blu remained unusually calm, "Did you check the note that they left in front of us." he asked his cerulean blue mate. "No I would've seen one had there-." she
stopped and saw that there was a note right in front of her and Blu the whole time. "I hate it when you're right." she said glaring playfully at her mate. "Why, I just happened
to be more observant in this case, and don't forget that that is one of the reasons why you told me that you loved me." replied Blu. At this statement Jewel formed a smile on
her beak, she knew how right her mate was. "That's true, lets see what the note says." They read the note that their teenagers carved into the slab of wood in front of them.
"Oh, how sweet." said Jewel with a motherly tone. "Alright we'll give them eight more minutes, if not back by then we start searching for them." "Sounds good." replied Blu.
Meanwhile, Pearl and her two brothers were trying to pick the best looking mangos for their Mom and Dad. When they finally got three of the best looking mangos they
decided to regroup. Pearl looked at her brothers. "We should probably get back Mom and Dad must be up by now." she said looking at the boys. "Right so lets go home."
replied Jose. Topaz nodded and they took off for the nest.
"Where are they?" asked Jewel to Blu. "I don't know, but in two more minutes we'll go look for them." Blu replied. Just then they saw Pearl, Topaz, and Jose touching down
into the hollow each with a mango in their talons. "Good morning, Mom and Dad, did you sleep well?" asked Pearl. Blu and Jewel at each other with a smile and back at their
daughter still smiling, "Yes we did." replied her parents. Then Pearl and her brothers dropped the three mangos in front of their parents, "Here you go." said Topaz looking at
his Mother. "One for you, one for Dad, and one for us." "Thank you sweetie." Jewel said to her son. Everyone was about to start eating, when all of a sudden Jose rose his
wings around the mangos. "What is it now, Jose?" his siblings asked him. "Considering that it's Mother's Day, I say we let Mom choose her mango first." he replied. "That's a
lovely idea." said his sister. Topaz just shrugged. The three of them looked at their Mother. "Alright Mom, you first." said Pearl. Jewel smiled at her kids, "Well aren't you all
sweet." replied Jewel as she picked up the ripest of the three. "Dad now you." said Jose. Blu went for another ripe one. "Thank you." he said looking down at his son. "Now the
last one is our's to share." declared Topaz he said looking from his sister on one side to his brother on the other. They all began eating their breakfast. "So, what are you kids
planning on doing today?" asked Jewel. Pearl looked at her brothers, they shrugged, then she looked back at her Mother. "Well we haven't decided yet, because it's hard to
find new things to do when we're forced to stay in a certain perimeter." she said looking to her brothers for confirmation to which they nodded in agreement. Their parents
could tell where this was heading. "I'm guessing you're trying to ask for more freedom in regards to how far away from the hollow you can go?" Blu asked his daughter. "Yes
Dad." replied Pearl. Blu looked over to Jewel. "Well like she said it's Mother's Day, so I'm going to leave this descision up to you Jewel." said Blu smiling over at his beautiful
cerulean wife. "Thanks a lot Blu." replied Jewel sarcastically. Blu was about to leave her to it, when suddenly she pulled him back to her. "Oh no you don't." she said. "You're
going to help me with this decision." The kids chuckled as they watched their parents playfully argue with each other. Blu and Jewel noticed this and Jewel whispered
something to her dark blue husband. Blu nodded. "Great idea Jewel." he said. Their teenagers waited for bad news, but they got none. Then they heard their Mother say, "You
kids can go a little further to where we can hear you if you were to shout for help." Their teenagers weren't completely satisfied, but they all knew that until they could fend
for themselves it was best to take what they could get. "Alright, thanks Mom." replied Pearl gratefully. On that note the three teen blue macaws took off into the tropical
jungle. Jewel looked out and watched her offspring leave the hollow and started sniffling. Blu noticed this, he never liked to see his dear cerulean wife in a distressed state.
"What's wrong Jewel." he inquired. She looked back at him. "That's the problem the kids have become so obedient and responsible, and as a result I almost never to get
discipline them." she replied happily. He gave her a quick kiss and then said, "I know I'll miss that too."
Pearl, Topaz, and Jose began to explore the newly expanded parental approved surroundings. "Well what should we do first?" Topaz asked his brother and sister. "Lets go
check that out." suggested Jose pointing over at what seem to be a neutral clearing. "Alright sounds good to me." said Pearl in agreement. So they flew into the clearing which
at first looked completely empty, when all of a sudden (Bam!) Pearl bonked heads with another bird. They both immediately came to and shook their heads. Topaz and Jose
helped their sister back up on to her talons. "What the hell was..." they started shouting at each other, but once they got a good look at each other they stopped. Jose and
Topaz looked from their sister to what appeared to be another blue macaw, and based off his dark blue color like that of them and their Father seemed to be a male about
their age. Topaz looked at his brother. "Jose is it just me or are my eyes decieving me that I'm looking at another one of our species." he whispered. Jose looked back at him.
"I was actually about to ask you the same question." Jose whispered back to Topaz. "Get Mom and Dad, they've gotta see this." "Right." replied Topaz and he took off for the
hollow.
Back at the hollow, Blu was still hugging Jewel who had just finished crying. Then they broke their embrace and Blu started helping Jewel wipe away her tears, her eyes were
slightly bloodshot from crying. "Thank you, Blu." said Jewel. "Thank you for always being their for me." "Jewel, I'll always be here for you." replied Blu. The two lovebirds
shared another quick hug before breaking it again at the sound of fast flapping wings. They looked toward that direction and saw Topaz flying toward them. He landed and his
Father walked toward him. "What is it my son?" asked Blu. As soon as he caught his breath, he looked up at his Father. "Dad, you and Mom aren't going to believe this but I
think we just found another of our species, he's a male and is about the same age as me, Jose, and Pearl. Blu and Jewel's eyes widened and they looked down at their son.
"Topaz, lead us to him." said Blu and Jewel in unison. "With pleasure." replied Topaz and with that he took off, his Mother and Father following closely behind him.
Meanwhile, Topaz and Pearl were talking with the mysterious bird. They looked at him and he looked right back at them. There was a very awkward silence that lasted for five
minutes then the mysterious bird spoke. "What?" he asked slightly annoyed. "We're sorry, but we're still trying to believe whether you're another blue macaw, or if our eyes
are decieving us." replied Pearl. "Well believe it. I can assure you I am quite real." he said. "Oh by the way, my apologies, I do believe introductions are in order. My name is
Dimas, what are your names?" asked Dimas. "I'm Pearl, this is my brother Jose, and the other one who flew off is my other brother Topaz." Pearl answered. "I am curious
though, do you have any parents or siblings?" she asked. "You'd think not, given how rare our race is, but I have both." replied Dimas. "I have two sisters Catina and Branca.
My Mom's name is Eduarda and my Dad's name is Abilio." Dimas stopped to catch his breath. Once he caught his breath he asked Jose about their parents. "Well, our Dad's
name is Blu and our Mom's name is Jewel." replied Jose. "Very unique names for a family of blue macaws." said Dimas. "You too." said Pearl. Then there was a brief one
minute silence. Dimas once again was the one to break it. "I'm guessing your brother is bringing your parents to see me and for confirmation of us being of the same type of
bird." he said looking at Jose suspiciously. "Yes I did and I'm sorry I doubted you." "It's alright." said Dimas. "Hey do you two wanna meet my sisters and my parents?" "We'd
love to, but our folks are on their way and..." Just then Topaz, Blu, and Jewel came flapping over to the scene. Blu and Jewel couldn't believe their eyes. In fact, Jewel almost
fainted, but luckily Blu caught her. "Are you okay Jewel?" Blu asked his cerulean blue wife. "Yeah of course, Blu. I just never thought I see another one of our kind ever
again." she said lightly. "Well lets get some insight to who this guy really is." Blu said to Jewel in a whisper. "Alright." replied Jewel. Then she turned her attention to Dimas
who she was getting very nervous about the conversation she and Blu were having. "Is there something wrong?" he asked. "No nothing, just trying to get confirmation are
you a blue macaw?" Jewel inquired. "Yes I am." he replied calmly. Then Blu walked up closer next Jewel. "So could tell us a bit about yourself?" Blu asked Dimas. Dimas could
see where this was going so he spilled everything about himself that he had already told Pearl and Jose. When he finished he saw Blu and Jewel look at one another for a
moment, then they both looked back at him. "I'm truely fascinated." said Blu. Dimas was suprised because expected Blu leap on top of him with a bunch of angery questions
like "Are you sure you're telling the truth?" but he kept calm and moved on to another topic. "Hey, I was wondering would you guys like to meet my family." Dimas asked.
"Well I think I speak for the whole family when I say absolutely." replied Jewel. "Alright, but can you all stay here for just a minute please so I can first of all prepare them for
your arrival and second make sure that they're okay to have you over at the moment?" Dimas asked. Blu and Jewel looked at each other for a moment. "Blu, I think this guy
looks pretty trustworthy." Jewel whispered to her husband. "Let's give him a chance to prove it." Blu nodded his head in agreement. "Alright Dimas, we'll wait here for about
five minutes maybe ten." Blu said. "Sounds good, I'll be right back." said Dimas and with that he took off for his family's hollow. Blu looked toward the direction where Dimas
took off and a look of doubt formed around face. Jewel looked at her husband with concern, "Don't worry Blu, he said he'd be back." she said. Blu looked back his cerulean
wife. "Sorry Jewel, I'm just worried about what his family's reaction will be." he said. Jewel looked at him straight in the eye. "Blu, I'm almost positive that everything will turn
out just fine."
Meanwhile, back at the family hollow, Dimas' Mother, Father, and his two sisters were in the middle of a mango lunch. Then they heard a flapping sound, and looked up to see
Dimas starting his decent into the hollow. His family stopped eating the minute he touched down. "Son, where have you been, we had to start lunch without you!" Dimas'
Father yelled at him. His Mother was irritated as well but said nothing. "Yeah, Dimas what's up with you being late for lunch?" asked his two sisters in unison. Finally, Dinas
held up a wing to give them an answer. "Well I was exploring some new territory and then I suddenly ran into three teen blue macaws like ourselves two males and one
female," and then he turned his attention to his sisters. "they're around the same age as us." Then he looked over to his Mom and Dad. "They also have parents, and I offered
them all a chance to meet our family if you're all okay with it. Also they said they'd wait for a reply from me for five to ten minutes where I met them, so are you all cool with
them coming over?" he asked. His sisters just shrugged and his Mom looked at his Dad. His Dad looked right back at her, "It's Mother's Day so it's your call dear." he said to
his wife. "Well we've just finished lunch, so why not?" she replied. "Cool." Dimas said. "I'll be back with them in just a minute." With that he took off to find the family of blue
macaws who were waiting for his reply.
Blu was growing impatient. "Where is he, it's already been five minutes?" he said. "Let's give him another three minutes Blu, if he's not back then we'll leave." Jewel replied.
"There'll be no need to do that and I'd like to thank you all for being so patient in waiting for me." said a familiar voice. Just then Blu, Jewel, and their teenagers looked
around to see Dimas hovering above them. He decended toward them. "My family said that they'd love to meet you all." he said looking mostly at Blu and Jewel. "Alright then,
lead the way Dimas." said Jewel. So Dimas took off toward his family's hollow with Blu, Jewel, and their teenagers following closely behind.
"Where is he?" asked Dimas' Father. "I'm right here and I've brought our guests back with me." replied his son who had just appeared right above him. Behind his son he saw
another family of blue macaws. After Dimas touched down into the family hollow Blu and his family followed suit. There was an uncomfortable silence between the two blue
macaw families. However, it was broken when both wives fainted at the sight of there being more of their almost extinct species, luckily their husbands caught them before
they fell to the hollow's floor. Their husbands shook them back awake. When they regained consciousness, everyone introduced themselves to each other. Blu took it upon
himself to go first and walked up to Dimas' Father. "Hello, nice to meet you my name is Blu." said Blu holding out his wing for a wingshake (equivalent to a human
handshake). "My name is Abilio, nice to meet you too." replied Abilio offering his wing out as well and shook Blu's wing. Jewel then walked up to Dimas' Mom, "Hello my
name's Jewel it's a pleasure to meet you." said Jewel. "My name is Eduarda, it's a pleasure to meet you too Jewel." replied Eduarda. The two wives shook wings. Then when it
seemed to be over Abilio came over to Jewel and kissed her on the tip of her wing. Blu did the same for Eduarda. The two females blushed at this gesture of kindness and
respect.
Meanwhile, all the teenagers were introducing themselves to each other as well. "Well now Topaz, Jose, and Pearl I'd like you all to meet my two sisters, Catina and Branca."
said Dimas who was making most of the introductions. Branca walked up to the boys first while Catina walked up to Pearl first. "Hello I'm Branca. It's nice to meet you." "I'm
Jose and this is my brother Topaz, it's nice to meet you too." replied Jose who was blushing along with his brother. "Catina it's very nice to meet you." said Pearl. "Likewise
Pearl." replied Catina. Then the groups switched. "Hello you two, my name is Catina, it's nice to meet you both." said Catina. "I'm Topaz and this is my brother Jose it's nice to
meet you too." replied Topaz. "Pearl it's very nice to meet you." said Branca. "Nice to meet you as well." replied Pearl. There was an awkward silence for everyone. It was
broken by Blu and Jewel who came to pick up their teens and head home. "Pearl, Topaz, Jose, it's time for us to take our leave but first we should thank our hosts for having
us over." said Blu. "Aww, Dad just a little longer, we've only just learned each others' names." Jose requested looking at his father and over back to Branca and Catina. Jewel
leaned over to her husband and whispered something to him. "Blu you should know better than I, that through a pyschological standpoint, everyone goes from introductions
to acquaintances to relationships to possible marriages that ultimately lead to mating." she said. He nodded to her and said, "Good point." "Well alright, but lets see if their
parents are okay with it." he said looking at his son. As if on cue, Abilio and Eduarda came out of nowhere, which gave Blu and Jewel a sudden start. Eduarda came forward,
looked down at Blu and Jewel's offspring and said, "Of course, you can stay, but unfortunately only for another hour. We see that dusk is slowly approaching." "Yes plus we'll
need to turn in as well for the day, and we don't want to overstay our welcome." added Jewel. The two males were looking at their mates and nodded. "Alright you all have a
good time, we'll be back later." the adults said. With that said they took off.
Once their parents were gone, Pearl, Catina, and Branca went over to one side and started talking about the boys. "Catina, Branca, can you tell me a bit about your brother he
seems very nice and very handsome?" Pearl asked. The two sisters looked at each other for a moment. "Where is this going?" asked Catina. "Yes and what are your
intentions." Branca added. Pearl felt a little pressured. "Well I was wondering if, at some point once we all get to know each other a little better, maybe your brother and I
could go on you know like one date?" Catina and Branca looked at each other for couple more minutes with awkward expressions on their faces. This was making Pearl very
uncomfortable. Then she saw the two sisters nod their heads. "Sure you have our blessing to go on at least one date with him, but our parents will be the ones to make the
final decision on that, on one condition." said Catina. "What condition is that?" Pearl inquired. "Well, you need to do the same for us, and give us your blessing to, at some
point, go on at least one date with your brothers." finished Branca. Pearl thought for a minute. "Well, I will do the same for you, but as us ladies go, and I'm sure you know
this as well as I do. There are two priniciples we need to keep in mind." "Oh and what are those?" inquired Branca. "First we need make sure that they like us back, which
should be obvious if yes or no. Second, and I'm sure our parents, particularly our Fathers will be most insistent on is whether or not they have good intentions and whether
they can or can't be trusted to not just take us out to mate with us." Pearl replied. "Oh good point." said Cantina. "I've got an idea." said Pearl. "Alright let's hear it." said the
two sisters. "Let's make a pact, if we all succeed on getting the dates approved with our parents then we all go on a first date with the boys, but if one or more of us fail then
none of us go on a first date." The two sisters shrugged and said "Deal." They all shared a group hug. "By the way, before we part for the day I need to know which of my
brothers each of you are in to." said Pearl. "Well that's a pretty hard decision mostly because they both seem very sweet, handsome, and respectful." said Branca. "Yes, but
sis, is it okay if I choose first?" Catina asked facing Branca. Branca thought for a minute. "Well it is only one date of what will probably be many so maybe I could let her
choose first." Branca looked her sister in the eye. "Sure why not?" she replied calmly. "Oh thank you, thank you, sis!" cried Catina giving Branca a wing crushing hug. "I want
to go out with Topaz because he looked so interested in me and introduced himself and his brother, before his brother Jose could speak." "Well that's great because I was
gonna ask you if I could have Jose because he seemed so interested in me and introduced himself and then Topaz, before Topaz could speak." replied Branca. "Perfect it's
settled then." declared Pearl.
Meanwhile the boys, Dimas, Topaz, and Jose were on the other side discussing the girls (The conversation was almost exactly the same). "Topaz, Jose, could tell me a bit
about your sister Pearl, she is very beautiful and sweet?" The two brothers looked at each other for a moment "Where are you going with this?" Topaz asked. "Yes, and what
are your intentions regarding our sister." added Jose. Dimas started getting a little nervous. "Well I was wondering if, at some point once we all get to know each other a little
bit better, maybe your sister and I could go on you know one date?" Topaz and Jose looked at each other for a couple more minutes with awkward expressions on their faces.
This was making Dimas very uneasy. Then he saw the two brothers nod their heads. "Sure you have our blessing to go on at least one date with her, but our parents will be
the ones to make the final decision on that, on one condition." said Topaz. "What condition is that?" Dimas questioned. "Well, you need to do the same for us, and give us
your blessing to, at some point, go on at least one date with your sisters." finished Jose. Dimas thought for a minute. "Well, I will do the same for you, but as us males go,
and I'm sure you know this as well as I do. There are two priniciples we need to keep in mind." "Oh and what are those?" Topaz asked. "First we need make sure that they like
us back, which should be obvious if yes or no. Second, and I'm sure our parents, particularly our Fathers will be most insistent on is whether or not we have good intentions
and whether we can or can't be trusted to not just take the ladies out to mate with them." Dimas replied. "Oh good point." said Jose. "I've got an idea." said Dimas. "Alright
let's hear it." said the two brothers. "Let's make a pact if we all succeed on getting the dates approved with our parents then we all go on a first date with the ladies, but if one
or more of us fail then none of us go on a first date." The two brothers shrugged and said "Deal." They all put a wing in and then all they all shook wings with each other. "By
the way, before we part for the day I need to know which of my sisters each of you are in to." said Dimas. "Well that's a pretty hard decision mostly because they both seem
very cute, beautiful, and nice." said Topaz. "Yes, but bro, is it okay if I choose first?" Jose asked facing Topaz. Topaz thought for a minute. "Well it is only one date of what will
probably be many so maybe I could let him choose first." Topaz looked her sister in the eye. "Sure why not?" he replied calmly. "Oh thank you, thank you, bro!" cried Jose
giving Topaz a wing crushing hug. "I want to go out with Branca because she looked so interested in me and when introduced myself first and then you before you got a
chance to speak." "Well that's great because I was gonna ask you if I could have Catina because she seemed so interested in me and when I introduced myself first and then
you, before you could speak." replied Jose. "Perfect it's settled then." declared Dimas.
While all this talk was going between the group of young males and the group of young females their folks were having a little male group and female group talk themselves
away from the hollow. Jewel and Eduarda were talking about simply about reproducing their species, whereas Blu and Abilio were talking about each others' sons in regards to
their intentions and if they could be trusted with their daughters' safety and boundaries.
"Jewel, I have to say your boys, Topaz and Jose seem like really nice matchs for my girls, Catina and Branca." said Eduarda. "I also believe your young and very handsome
Dimas would make a great match for my young Pearl." Jewel replied. "Yeah and from their looks it seems that our boys will treat our girls with respect and acknowledge their
boundaries." said Eduarda. "I feel the same way, but I'm willing to bet our mates are having the same talk, and are, knowing Blu, probably having a more in-depth
conversation on the subject regarding our boys and their respect for our daughters." said Jewel. "Also knowing my Abilio, I bet anything you're right." replied Eduarda. "In any
case how about we go up there and wait for them." Jewel suggested pointing a couple branches above from where they were. "Sounds great." Eduarda replied in agreement.
Sure enough just as their mates suspected, Blu and Abilio were still on the subject of each other's sons respecting their daughters as well as acknowledgment of their personal
boundaries. "So then I can definitely count on your son to look after my little Pearl correct?" asked Blu with a very stern expression. "Yes, and I'm sure I can expect the your
sons to show my daughters the same courtesy." Abilio replied with just as stern of an expression. "Oh Abilio I'm going to ask you something." said Blu. "Oh and what might
that be Blu." asked Abilio. "We make a deal that we always ask the boys where they're taking our daughters and insure that'll it'll be some place safe, like if they were going
out dancing it would have to be somewhere like a samba club called Paradise, at least during the first three dates or so." said Blu. "Why would a samba club called Paradise be
safe place for them to take our girls out dancing?" inquired Abilio. "Well firstly, it is run by two of my most trusted friends, Nico and Pedro, and secondly as far as their music
goes, it creates a very romantic atmosphere. That's where Jewel and I shared our first dance." Blu replied. Abilio scratched his head with his talon for a minute trying to decide
whether it would be in his girls' best interest to go with Blu's proposition. "So what do you think?" inquired Blu. "Well it sounds good, but I would like to have a say in this
proposition as well, and it least apply it to the very first date our teens all go on." said Abilio. "What kind of a say?" Blu asked. "Well, and it may sound a little odd, but for that
very first date I think it would be best that they all choose one safe venue and go there together like a triple date." Abilio suggested. "As a matter a fact that doesn't odd at
all, it makes perfect sense then they can all look out for each other and still have a fun time." replied Blu. "So that settles it, we need to make sure that our mates
understand." said Abilio. "Of course, come on lets go find them?" suggested Blu. "Right." said Abilio. The two males took to the sky, a couple braches above them they spotted
their mates.
Blu and Abilio landed right next their mates and gestured them to come forward a little bit and listen to what they had to say regarding dating. Once they finished explaining
the proposal, their mates nodded in agreement. "That sounds fair in regards to our kids having a very good and safe time." said Jewel. "It surely does." added Eduarda. "Well
I should give Blu most of the credit since he came up with the initial proposal." said Abilio. "Yes but you were the one who modified it for a safe triple date." replied Blu. "That
was a very important contribution as well." Before Blu or Abilio could speak anymore, their mates had pulled them into a very passionate kiss (Jewel kissing Blu and Eduarda
kissing Abilio). After about two minutes, they each parted from the passionate kiss they had just shared with their mates. "You both did very well, now lets go see what the
kids are up to." said Jewel. Nothing else was said, Jewel took to the sky with Blu, Abilio, and Eduarda following closely behind her the (Abilio and Eduarda's) hollow.
One hour later, back at the hollow the teenagers were regrouping and finishing some last minute conversations when they heard a flapping noise they all turned around to see
their parents decending beside them. Jewel and Blu landed next to their teenagers and Abilio and Eduarda landed next to their's. "Now guys say goodbye and thank you to our
hosts." instructed Jewel. "Of course, Mother." replied Topaz. They all were saying goodbye to each other, but what they didn't notice was Dimas and Pearl stepping to the side
to say a private goodbye to each other. "Pearl, I hope we get to meet again and have a little more time together." said Dimas. Pearl blushed. "I hope so too, Dimas because
you're so nice and respectful." she replied. Dimas took up Pearl's right wing and kissed the tip of it. It was at that point that everyone noticed them. Pearl was still blushing.
They looked over to see everyone starring at them in awe and there was a very uncomfortable silence that lasted for quite a while. Jewel decided to break it. "Anyways, Abilio,
Eduarda, thanks again for having us over on such short notice." she said. "Oh, yeah of course, you're welcome." they replied in unison. Jewel saw Blu was still in a watchful
trance over their daughter and nugged him out of it. "Blu!" she yelled to her mate. He turned around to see Jewel, Abilio, and Eduarda starring at him. "Oh sorry thank you
very much for having my family and myself over on such short notice." he said. "You're very welcome." said Abilio and Eduarda together again. Something inside him told Blu
that he needed to do more so he decided to make them an offer. "Before we go I want to say something feel free to come over to our place if you want." he said. "Of course
we'd absolutely love that." said Abilio. "Okay well come on kids and my sweet mate. Lets go home and leave this family be now they probably want to have dinner and then
go to sleep." said Jewel. "Yes Mother." said all of her teens. Then she turned to Blu. "come home with me and the kids my sweet mate." "Alright love right behind you and the
kids." replied Blu. Without another word he and his family began their flight home.
To all my constant readers I'm sorry to end this chapter so abruptly, but at this point I've just run out of steam. However I will keep on this part of the story
during chapter 22 (I think the title will be "Dinner and Sweet Dreams") till then peace out!
