Hey guys! Sorry about not updating, school, that's basically what it is.
Anyway… I wonder how BB and PA are enjoying their honeymoon on Scarif… (If you read the most recent Q and A update) Either they're enjoying the sunset on the beach or they're rolling rapidly away from Imperial stormtroopers… What do you guys think?
Oh and this story is my idea!
Sibling Jealousy
Before coming to the Amazon for the very first time, Alex and Blu were like brothers to each other, ever since they were captured by smugglers and ended up in Minnesota, to be cared for by Linda for 15 years. And then all those years spent in Rio, never have the two been so inseparable as a pair of non-biological brothers. They vowed to always be there for each other and they never broke that promise, even when Alex's older sister was now mates with Roberto, thus making that Blue macaw, Alex's brother in law.
However one day, that would seem to change…
It was morning and Blu was waiting by the clay banks for Alex, Blu was taking a day off from being tribe leader and he and Alex arranged to spend a whole day together, just to have fun and catch up on stuff. Blu waited and waited, but Alex didn't show, it got to the point where Blu was starting to get worried and decided to go to Alex's hollow to see what was taking so long.
"I hope Alex is okay…" Blu said as he tried his hardest to not think about the worst. "It's not like him to be this late…"
As Blu was flying through the trees, the sunlight pouring in through the branches, Blu went over and over in his head what could have happened to Alex. As he was flying above the forest floor, he spotted something, it was Alex and he was talking to Roberto. Blu felt relieved that Alex was alright, but wondered why Alex was taking so long to talk to Roberto. blu silently landed down a short distance from the two and hid in the foliage as he listened.
"So, how's Rosalia's first days in school going?" Alex asked.
"It's going fine for her, she's really doing well and the teacher really seems to like her." Roberto smiled. "Thanks for suggesting that she attend Mrs. Rose's class, Bia has been a really good help to her."
"Oh, you're welcome Roberto, anything for my brother in law and besides my own daughter is in that class too, might as well have the cousins together." Alex added.
"Yeah, but really thanks." Roberto replied and kept smiling.
"Well, I should really get going, I promised Blu I would spend the day with him." Alex remembered why he was heading to the clay banks.
"Okay, have fun." Roberto said and hugged his brother in law, Alex hugging back.
This had a tremendous effect on Blu and well… He felt a little hurt seeing Alex and Roberto giving each other a family kind of hug. As he saw Alex and Roberto saying their final goodbyes, Blu flew back in a hurry to the clay banks and pretended that he was there the whole time as Alex came in view. Alex landed down in front of Blu, panting as he rushed his way here to make up for lost time.
"Sorry Blu, got sidetracked, you didn't wait long did you?" Alex asked as he got his breath back.
"Oh no, I'm glad you were finally able to come…" Blu said, but with a slightly angry kind of tone.
"Are you alright Blu?" Alex asked. "Did something happen?"
"I'm fine, lets just get this day over with." Blu replied, turning his back to Alex, so he couldn't see a tear drop out.
For the rest of the day, Alex and Blu spent time with each other, but it wasn't happy and fun as the two had in mind, for Blu was feeling very jealous and heartbroken. Alex tried to ask Blu what was wrong, since they were like blood brothers, but Blu kept ignoring the question or suggested they do something else.
As the sun disappeared over the horizon, to signal that night was coming, Alex and Blu went back to their own hollows, to sleep. As they said their goodbyes to each other, Alex tried to give a hug to his brother, but Blu refused it and simply just flew away. Alex was utterly confused and still so as he got back home, where his kids and Lily were waiting for him.
"Hey honey!" Lily said happily as she came up and gave a kiss to Alex's beak, only to then notice Alex's sad looking expression. "What's wrong?"
"Oh nothing, it's just Blu didn't seem happy today, and I don't know why…" Alex answered as he pondered his thoughts.
"Well, maybe Blu was just exhausted, you can't really blame him, being leader of the whole Blue macaw tribe and all." Lily pointed out.
"I guess so… But still… He's not the brother I used to know…" Alex said sadly.
In the hollow where Blu lived, what was formerly Roberto's hollow, he kept mumbling to himself, still very upset as he didn't want to imagine that Alex would eventually forget about him and spend all his time with Roberto. He kept pacing the floor of the room where his nest was, softly talking to himself.
Jewel, outside in the main area of the hollow, was worried for Blu, but Blu already told Jewel he didn't want to talk about the day. She was worried, by Blu's talking, that something bad must have happened between him and Alex, but she decided not to keep asking Blu.
As both couples fell asleep, tucked away in each other's wings to keep warm, Alex decided to go see Blu in the morning, to see what was wrong and clear the air between the two. And that's exactly what he did.
As morning came, Alex, first saying bye to Lily and giving a kiss as well as telling his kids to enjoy their school day, he flew to where his brother lived, rehearsing what he was going to say in his head over and over again. As Alex arrived, he took a deep breath and was hoping that his talk with Blu didn't result in a fight.
As Alex came in, he didn't see Blu, but he saw Jewel.
"Hey Jewel, where's Blu, I need to talk to him." Alex said.
"Oh, he left early, he seemed pretty down." Jewel answered.
"Yeah, I was about to ask you if anything happened to him lately." Alex replied.
"Well, nothing really, he seemed fine before he left to spend the day with you, what happened with you two?" Jewel now asked a question.
"Nothing, strangely enough, he has been acting weird all yesterday, we didn't hug each other when we said our goodbyes." Alex said and then remembered something. "But I was a bit late because me and Roberto saw each other and had a long talk."
Jewel then put on her thinking cap and then came up with a suggestion of why Blu was acting the way he was.
"Well, I'm guessing that Blu was worried about you not showing up, so he went to go look for you, he found you with Roberto and just took it the wrong way." Jewel suggested.
"You know Jewel, sometimes I think you're the smartest macaw ever…" Alex commented.
"Blu and Bia's influence on me I guess." Jewel chuckled.
"Well, I better go clear things up with Blu, do you know where he is?" Alex asked.
"He told me he's just going to be having a meeting with the elders today in the center of the tribe." Jewel told Alex.
"Okay, thanks Jewel." Alex smiled and gave a hug to Jewel before leaving to go find Blu.
Meanwhile, Blu was having a meeting with the tribal elders he set up about various things, he was hoping this would take his mind off his pressing issue with Alex and Roberto, but it didn't for some reason. As Blu was trying to keep a level head and focus on the issues of the tribe, Alex came in.
"Blu, we need to talk." Alex said to Blu, all the elders falling silent and looking at Blu.
"Alex, this is an important meeting, you can't disrupt us." Blu replied, with a rather harsh tone.
"Blu! We need to talk now!" Alex raised his voice. "Please…" Alex begged in a soft tone.
"Fine, meeting adjourned for now." Blu told the elders and they left, to leave Alex and Blu alone.
As soon as the two brothers were alone, Alex came froward to where Blu was, blu refusing to look at the Scarlet.
"Blu, I need to know…" Alex spoke. "Did you see me and Roberto talking with each other and hugging?"
Blu was surprised. He was sure Alex didn't see him.
"How… How did you know…?" Blu replied, stunned.
"I didn't, I visited Jewel this morning and she guessed why you're acting the way you are." Alex informed Blu. "But by your reaction, I say it's true."
Blu then sighed, there was no escaping from this…
"Look Alex, the moment I saw you and Roberto hug each other, like we do, it just tells me that maybe you're starting to like him more than me." Blu stated.
"That's ridiculous Blu!" Alex shouted a little. "Why would you think that?"
"I don't know, maybe it's jealousy or anger, I just don't know, my feelings just got loose when I saw you two hugging." Blu said with his back turned to Alex, once again letting out tears.
"Blu, come on, I'm your brother, I always will be, no matter what." Alex reassured Blu. "Remember our first night in Minnesota?"
Blu did remember. He remembered when Linda left them with some blankets to keep warm, but it didn't, because Blu was still feeling that emotional coldness. He remembered Alex comforting him and telling him everything was going to be alright. He remembered Alex telling him that maybe they would become like brothers to each other. Which they did for all those years and still are.
"Yeah, I do remember, all those years ago, you told me we would be brothers for life." Blu said and now felt tears of happiness come out.
"Exactly and I don't intend to break that promise." Alex smiled.
"Thanks Alex." Blu smiled back.
"You're welcome." And Alex came froward and hugged Blu, Blu hugged back, finally feeling sibling love again.
Ever since that incident, Blu never again doubted Alex and his feelings, even if Alex still spent time with Roberto, since they were family related now, for Alex made sure to spent just as much time or more with Blu. Even if they weren't family related, they were still blood brothers, Blu and Alex never forgetting how much sibling love they showed for each other, since that fateful day, so many years ago.
And there we go guys!
I hope you enjoyed this once again and remember to state how you think BB and PA's honeymoon is coming along!
