Chapter 24: Reunion and Surprising Decision

It was a week since Blu woke up from being passed out and since than had to spend his time just resting in the hollow. Even thought Blu was comforted by most of his family and friends, Blu still did not feel completely happy until he could see his parents.

Soon the day came when Blu was considered fit enough to go see them. Rafael came and helped Blu up.

"Thanks Rafi."

"Anytime my friend."

After Blu was up, he, along with Jewel, the kids, Rafael, Nico and Pedro, went to go see his parents.

David and Sarah were resting in their home. Their scars from that fateful day still showing. They, like Blu, were worrying about their son, how he was doing. They were relieved and happy as they saw a familiar bird along with others flying towards them.

David and Sarah came out to greet their son and Blu landed and walked up. For a few seconds they just stared at one other, until Blu just came froward and hugged both of them.

"I'm so sorry, mom and dad." Blu said, tears coming out in full force.

"It's okay son, we are fine."

The family than got out of the hug and Blu still was crying.

"I should have known, protected you guys before it happened, I'm a terrible son."

"It's not your fault Tyler, how could you know? But that is in the past. Let's just be happy we are all okay." David said to cheer up his son.

Sarah came up and helped wipe the tears from her son's eyes. Blu stopped crying and the three got back in a hug.

"Oh, mom, dad, I would like you to meet my closet friends, Rafael, Nico, and Pedro."

And with that Blu's parents and Blu's friends exchanged hellos and conversations. But that soon stopped when Eduardo, with Roberto, flew in.

"Hello Blu, I see you are feeling much better." Eduardo said happily.

"Yes sir." Blu said and stood as tall as he could for his father in law.

"Relax Blu and you can call me dad."

"Okay… Dad…" Blu said nervously.

Eduardo laughed a little, but than focused on why he was here.

"Okay Blu, it's time to decide what to do with that white cockatoo and I am assuming Jewel told you the decision is yours."

"Yes, Dad…" Blu said, however it still sounded a little weird. "I would like to go tell him myself."

"Of course, follow me."

And Blu along with his family and friends followed Eduardo to where Nigel was being held. Nigel had so much shame in his heart that he not only failed, but was being held prisoner.

Blu walked in, along with Eduardo, Jewel, his parents and a few blue macaws just in case Nigel got crazy to hold him down, to see Nigel. Blu made Rafael, Nico and Pedro stay outside with the kids to make sure they did not have to see this if a fight should break out.

"Hello Nigel." Blu greeted him.

Nigel was in such shame, that he did not even look up. "What do you want pretty bird?"

"I am here to decide your fate." Blu said, holding his cool.

"If you are going to end me, just do it, I can't take it anymore."

"No, I am not going to do that, I am letting you go."

As soon as Blu said this, everyone was in shock, including Nigel.

Jewel thought Blu was crazy. "Blu, what's wrong with you?"

"If I end his life, I will be just as bad as he is, I do not want to play the revenge game. However Nigel, you must promise never to harm anyone in the tribe for the rest of your life, or next time I will not be as nice as I am being right now."

Nigel made some annoying noises.

"Promise!" Blu said, raising his voice a little to make Nigel pay attention.

"I promise." Nigel said, hesitating.

"Good, now get out of here and get as far away from here as you can."

And Nigel got up and left and just as quickly walked away, never to be seen again.

Meanwhile everyone else was surprised at Blu and was speechless, Blu ignored them.

"Let's just go home." He told Jewel and Blu walked out.

Everyone than went back to their homes as if nothing happened, Blu, Jewel and the kids went back home where they tried to have a normal evening. Jewel, however, noticed that Blu looked and acted differently. He was not the happy, nervous bird she knew before the whole incident with Nigel, but he looked tougher, more serious. Jewel only hoped that time would help being back the old Blu she knew and loved.
