Ch. 26 Date Night Part 2: Clubbing

written 7/21/12

Dimas and Pearl touched down nest to each other just outside the club called "Paradise". Dimas offered Pearl his right-wing, which she gladly accepted. They

entered the club side by side, but by then they weren't holding wings anymore. What they saw was fantastic, multi-colored strobe lights going on and off all

over the club accompanied by the beats and rhythm of samba music; as well as the spontaneous atmosphere it created. They walked through the crowd to

see two other blue macaw teen couples waving at them. It was Topaz, Jose, Branca, and Catina. "Well, Pearl and Dimas what brings you here this evening?"

Topaz inquired. "Dimas is taking me out dancing. That's what brings us here, dear brother." answered Pearl. They all sat down for a while, Pearl, Branca, and

Catina were talking with each other while Topaz, Jose, and Dimas talked with each other as well. This went on for about between ten and twenty minutes

then Dimas got up, held out his wing, and said "Hey Pearl, do you wanna dance?" Pearl looked up at him. "I'd love to." she replied. She took his wing that he

offered her and stood up next to him. The two were, for the moment, being watched closely by Nico and Pedro. The two of them started talking about Pearl

and her date. "Hey Nico, check it." said Pedro pointing to the spix macaw couple. His partner's bottom part of beak dropped dead open. "Oh my God!" cried

Nico. "I know right." said Pedro. "I thought Blu, Jewel, Pearl, Topaz, and Jose were the last of the blue macaws." said Nico. "So did I, but apparently not."

replied Pedro. "Let's go see what's up wit dem and if they have a song request." "Good idea." said Nico in agreement. The two of them fluttered down

toward the blue macaw couple who were having a couple glasses of water after dancing to two songs in a row without stopping.

Dimas and Pearl were sitting together at the bar sipping on their water, then once they finished Pearl looked at Dimas. "Dimas, this has been a great night so

far." said Pearl putting her wing on top of his. "Also you're one of the best dancers I've ever seen." Dimas blushed at the compliment. "Thank you." he said.

"You are the most beautiful dancer I've ever seen." Pearl went bright red in the face. Just then they saw Nico and Pedro touch down in front of them. "Hey

Uncle Nico, Uncle Pedro, how are you?" asked Pearl. "We all good Pearl." replied Pedro. Then both Nico and Pedro looked at Dimas, and then back at Pearl.

"Who's this guy?" Nico asked Pearl pointing at Dimas. "Oh that's Dimas." said Pearl. "He's my date tonight." "Well dat's cool." said Pedro. "Would you

lovebirds like to choose a song to dance to, Nico and I will make it happen." Pearl thought for a minute. "What do you want to dance to?" Pearl asked Dimas.

"You choose." Dimas replied. "I'm happy to dance to any song you pick so long as it makes you happy." "Oh Dimas, you're so sweet and flexible." said Pearl.

"I've got one that I know we'll both love." So she went back to Nico and Pedro, who were waiting for their response. "Well what'll it be Pearl?" asked Nico.

Pearl leaned forward and whispered to the canary. "Sing that song you sang for Mom and Dad's first dance." "Well alright Pedro and I will get right on it."

Nico replied. So he went over to Pedro and told him the request that Pearl made. "Wow nice, romantic, and vintage." replied Pedro with a smile. With that

the duo walked back over to Pearl. "Yo girl, we've got to warm up, its been a while." said Pedro. "That sounds great, Dimas and I are gonna rest for a little

while longer." replied Pearl. "Maybe give Dimas and I about fifteen minutes then we'll be ready to dance again." "Dat's about da amount of time we need."

said Pedro. With that the duo took off to practice.

Meanwhile, Jose and Branca were shuffling spontaneously to the beat of the current samba that was playing. Topaz and Catina were shuffling as well just a

couple of talons (feet) away from them. "Isn't this fun Jose!? Branca asked him excitedly. "Absolutely!" he replied just as excitedly. "Exactly how we feel, right

Topaz?" she inquired looking at her date for his agreement on the subject. "Oh yea!" cried Topaz. Suddenly the four of them were approached by Dimas and

Pearl. "Hey Dimas, Pearl, you having a good time?" Topaz asked them. "Of course we are dear brother." Pearl replied politely. "Hey do you think Dimas and I

could have the dance floor just the two of us because Uncle Pedro and Uncle Nico are going to dedicate this next song to us?" Topaz looked back at Branca,

Jose, and Catina. All three of them shrugged their shoulders in a "whatever" sense. "Sure sis, anyways I think we're all a little tired from dancing." he said.

"Oh thank you so much bro." said Pearl giving her brother a bone crushing hug. "You're welcome sis." he said returning the hug. "Come on guys, let's go get

some water." Pearl then turned her attention to Dimas. "Are you ready love?" she asked him. "As I'll ever be." replied Dimas nervously. Just then they saw

Pedro and Nico fly over them to the front of the stage. "Alright everyone listen up, this next number is dedicated to those two blue macaws over there." Nico

announced pointing a wing out at Pearl and Dimas. The club's main spotlight fell on top of the macaws, who shifted somewhat uncomfortably as all eyes fell

upon them. "So let's show them some love because this is their first night out together." Pedro started the first part. "Ya, Ya, Ya, Yo. Everybody put their

wings together and clap'em as loud as you can. Flap'em, clap'em, I don't care slap'em! A yi, a yi!" Then Nico began his first verse. "Party in the Ipanema,

baby!" Pedro began pounding the small tin cans that were used as drums. (Everyone watch the RIO club scene for visual details except I'm going to make

Pearl and Dimas have a few more moves than Blu and Jewel). Just after Pedro started drumming, like her Father, Pearl became immediately alert to the

passionate sound of her song. Dimas was a little nervous at first, until Pearl pulled him in toward her. He saw her already glistening cerulean blue feathers

shown out even more under the strobe lights that fell upon her. She moved like her Mother except every now and then she would perform a couple pirouettes

while on only one claw of her talon. Dimas couldn't stand it anymore, Pearl looked so majestic that he finally started dancing. She looked at him with a smile.

He took her wing and started twirling her around back and forth under the club's strobe lights. Finally Dimas and Pearl were getting very close, he spun her

around faster and faster until he threw her up into the air with the strobe lights now solely on her. She started chanting and hovering just like her Mother and

like her Father was with Jewel, Dimas was absolutely mesmerized by Pearl. She slowly started her descent, once she had touched back down and stopped

her chanting the two of them looked at each other deeply in the eyes. They started to close the space in between them until they finally kissed. The kiss

lasted for one brief, yet lustful minute before they parted and bowed respectively to each other.

Unknown to them they were being watched by Pearl's brothers, Topaz and Jose, as well as Dimas' sisters, Catina and Branca. The two blue macaw couples

had been dancing along the side. "Well looks like we're all having safe, romantic fun." said Branca looking at Jose with a sly smile. "Yeah, especially them."

replied Jose nodding his head toward Dimas and Pearl. Not but only a couple talons away from them Topaz and Catina were having a similar conversation of

their own. "Well Catina I must admit I had my doubts, but I can see now that you were right about your brother." Topaz said with a smile. "What about him?"

inquired Catina. "He really is respectful and charming toward my sister." replied Topaz with another smile after nodding at Pearl and Dimas. Catina looked

over briefly at Pearl and her brother, and then turned her attention back to Topaz. "Well I don't recall ever saying anything like that about Dimas, but it looks

like you're right." she said with a wink. "You know who else seems to share those traits?" she asked playfully. "No who?" Topaz asked her. "Your brother

and of course you." Catina replied seductively. Topaz blushed. "Well tha-" he began. He never got to finish his sentence because Catina was kissing him.

Although they both enjoyed it, their kiss lasted for a brief thirty seconds.

All three couples looked up at the sky. "Well I really don't want this night to end, but I guess it has to." said a disappointed Dimas. "Yeah bro I guess it does."

said Catina and Branca in agreement. "Come on, time to go." declared Topaz and Jose. "Right behind ya." said Pearl and Dimas. All six blue macaws took to

the sky and headed for their hollows. Suddenly Pearl said, "Hey Topaz, Jose, could you tell Mom and Dad that I'll be back in about twenty minutes so that I

can say a proper goodnight to Dimas?" Then Dimas looked at sisters for the same favor. Both sisters and brothers nodded. "Thanks." said Dimas and Pearl

together. "No problem." the other two couples replied. Then Pearl's brothers flew up to Dimas. "Alright we're gonna take your sisters home, then we're going

home ourselves." said Topaz. "Take care of Pearl." Pearl rolled her eyes. Jose flew over to his sister. "Pearl, don't worry I know Dad isn't fully on board with

Dimas, so Topaz and I will see if we can't get Mom to wait up instead." he said. Pearl went wide-eyed and flew at Jose with a bone crushing hug. "Oh thank

you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" she said excitedly. "You're welcome." he replied in a choked voice. "Oh sorry bro didn't mean to choke ya." Pearl said

letting go of Jose. "It's cool." Jose replied. "Alright and just to be safe and fair to Mom and Dad, if they ask, tell them we'll be at the Christ the Redeemer

Statue." Pearl informed him. "Alright will do, see you later sis." Jose replied and then he turned to his brother. "Come on Topaz, let's go." he said. With that

the two brothers and the two sisters continued towards their hollows, and Pearl and Dimas split off to go to the Christ the Redeemer Statue.

Sorry this took so long everyone and to my constant followers I send an even bigger apology.

The 3rd and final part of Date Night will probably be called A Proper Goodnight.
