Conversation
"Who are you? And what are you doing here?" a scarlet macaw asked, landing in front of the three friends. It was a really well muscled macaw. He had a simple posture, a large black beak, fiery red wings, and green, crystalline eyes. Three friends were embarrassed not knowing what to say. All three of them were looking at the bird with restraint.
"Hi, I'm Blu, this beautiful lady (Jewel blushed) is Jewel and this lady is Susan". He started a conversation with Blu introducing everyone. The male watched the new acquaintances for a while and then changed his face to a more friendly one.
"Hello, I'm Paulo, why did you come here?" he asked while arching a curious eyebrow.
"I can say, but let's talk well first so we can get to know each other" said Blu with confidence. He found a good opportunity to force Paulo to talk.
"Well, I invite you to... At home" Paulo said sarcastically. In the sense of "home" he meant a hole in a tree which he chose to sleep in. Everyone flew inside and then sat down in a circle. Blu almost immediately when he sat down he caught Jewel. "Come with me". Jewel, not knowing what reason Blu has, agreed to become together with Blu. "We will bring something to eat and come back. said Blu when he started to fly away together with Jewel towards the exit. "Why should we fly for food" asked Jewel when they were already behind the door from the aviary. Blu closed them exactly so that the two who stayed there couldn't overhear them. "I think it would be better if Susan would stay alone with Paulo for a while" Blu answered, looking for any vending machine with food. Jewel quickly understood Blu's intentions so she started to help him with some machine. "When we find the machine we will wait a moment and then we will join them" Blu explaining his intentions. Meanwhile Susan and Paulo talked quite well with each other. Paulo liked his new friend, maybe because when he was in captivity he met only unpleasant characters. "What do you want to know about me?" Paulo asked at some point. Susan fell gently into a blush, she tried to hide it, but it didn't work out for her. "In fact, nothing... I just wanted to see someone, someone like...".
"I just wanted to see someone like you" finished Paulo who knew what she thought. Susan was surprised to see her new friend, how could he know what he was thinking?
"Yes... How did you know?" asked Susan when she managed to shake off her surprise.
"Well, when I was imprisoned, I was locked up mainly with small parrots, canaries, flamingos, but with no one who resembled me, I hoped to see someone like that, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity..." said Paulo who sighed.
"I too... I lost my family and since then I haven't seen anyone like that, until now" answered Susan smiling towards Paulo.
"Well, we have similar stories... Let's say...". Paulo answered, smiling. At the moment they looked at each other as if they were something completely separate, but something dragged them to each other, like fire and water. When they separated from each other's eyes they turned in a different direction, they were ashamed of the situation, but when they took the courage to look at each other again, sitting opposite each other.
"Surely you want to have a drink, I'll bring something to you" Paulo lovingly asked. Susan felt a little ashamed but accepted the offer.
"I'll love some water" answered Susan. The male flew away to the lake to fill the broken walnut in half with water. Meanwhile, with one of the corridors Blu and Jewel found a snack machine. It was quite a big booth, decorated with leds on the sides. The door was made of glass, so parrots could see what snacks were inside. Jewel noticed some numbers under each snack.
" Blu? So what do these numbers mean?" asked Jewel.
"These are the prices of these snacks, we have to find a coin" He answered looking around the machine.
"Oh, are you only now looking for a coin?" said Jewel, a little bit upset.
"Loving wife, I don't have to look for it, take a look at the machine. said Blu calmly. The two lovebirds bent down together to see what's under the machine. Soon Jewel understood what Blu had in mind: there were a dozen coins under the machine, which probably fell from the owners' pockets. Well, we can do some small shopping" laughed Blu collecting coins. Jewel helped him, she was surprised when she still felt the cold coins in her wings. Soon Blu and Jewel finished mining the currency. They collected a specific sum of money, both collected quite a handful of money.
"Ladies first, what do you choose?" asked Blu showing his wing for a whole array of delicacies. Jewel flew up to the glass to take a closer look at the delicacies. In fact, she didn't know what she was choosing, so she chose food according to the appearance of the packaging. Soon the moments were over and a part of the machine was bought out.
"Okay... We have pepsi, lays, snickers, Jewel, did you choose RedBull? Loving, it's better not to drink it, I know what I'm saying" said Blu looking at the food chosen by Jewel. Blu took a can of energy drink into his claws and threw it into the bin.
"But why Blu? What's wrong with this drink?" asked Jewel when she saw Blu throwing out a full can.
"It contains caffeine, it is an ingredient that stimulates the body, once drunk and I seriously do not recommend" answered Blu. Once Blu was so curious about the taste of such a drink, so one day when Linda was already asleep he decided to go to the fridge to try this drink. He tasted it very much, so with almost one sip he drank the whole can. He didn't have to wait long for the effects, after five minutes his heart accelerated rapidly, his pupils were wide, and he was running around the whole living room, just to lose the energy gained. If Linda hadn't had to use the bathroom, who knows how it would have ended! Blu and Jewel took a shed snack and then shoved into the air to go to Susan and Paulo. Meanwhile, the two had a great time without them. Paulo gained confidence in Susan and wasn't afraid to speak in his own words. Susan was also very happy, so honestly she didn't expect that their conversation would happen this way. She expected a rather stiff conversation, full of unpleasant breaks. However, the conversation was very fluid, various topics were constantly passing by.
"You are a very nice person, and you are very pretty too" said Paulo at one point. Susan blushed, almost her face was covered with a fiery blush.
"Oh... Thank you...". Susan answered by bending her head down.
"Listen, maybe you would like to...". Paulo didn't finish the thought, because they heard the cry of Blu from afar.
"How are you? You guys having fun? We found something, we have food for the whole night!" called Blu when Jewel and himself flew inside the aviary.
"Oh, fantastically...". Paulo was a bit upset because he couldn't finish his words. When Blu and Jewel landed next to the two seated people they put aside their loot. Paulo and Susan looked surprised at how much sweetness was at their feet.
"Please, eat! We'll only have to clean up the remains to avoid suspicion" Blu said opening a pack of chips. He missed their taste very much, finally he could taste the salty taste.
"Oh, yes, I missed it!" Blu said, enjoying the taste. Jewel got slightly upset, she was still not very convinced to bind herself to human things.
"But now you have other delicacies...". said Jewel with a slight nervousness in the tone. Blu did not say anything about the occasion when Jewel had an open beak and put a few slices of sweets in her beak. Jewel was surprised but started to bite the food to swallow it.
"Hmmm? And how about that? Come on Jewel doesn't this taste convince you?" asked Blu when he saw how Jewel reaches for more.
"I feel foolishly, this time you're right" laughed Jewel. Blu smiled, reaching for a can of pepsi. He opened it and started to distinguish it.
"Blu, can I try it?" Jewel innocently asked when she saw Blu reaching for the blue can.
"Please, of course" answered Blu with a can that was only half full. Jewel tasted human delicacies for the first time when she felt the gassed taste swallowed with difficulty what she gained in her mouth by putting the can away.
"This is too strong! How can you drink it?" asked Jewel, still crooked after drinking a small sip of the drink.
"This is normal, you just have to get used to it" said Blu. While Jewel got used to the strong taste of Pepsi Paulo and Susan talked to each other culturally enjoying the delicate taste of almonds.
"So what are you going to do when you leave the aviary" asked Susan. "Well... I... I... I don't know. It's casting somewhere and I'm sure I'll put on a nest...". Paulo sighed hard.
"I really liked her, I think I'll invite her for a date, but how do I do it when we're not alone?" thought an embarrassed Paulo looking at the blue birds that approached them.
"What are you talking about?" asked Blu while sitting next to Paulo, Jewel sat next to Susan. That's how the social circle came into being, which they talked to each other. At some point Jewel felt a conscience when she remembered her eggs, which they had left unattended. "Nothing will happen when we fly away I covered our eggs with leaves so that nobody could see them," said Blu when he noticed that Jewel was worried about something. A few hours passed, so Blu said when he noticed that light streaks of light were coming through the window above the door.
"OK, it was great to talk, but we have to go to take care of our children, right Jewel?" asked Blu. The woman waved her head affirmatively.
"Oh... Pity... But will you come to me with the truth"? He asked Paulo with hope.
"Well... You know, it's not that easy... We have children and we have to look after them, but Susan can come". He answered. Susan looked at the three standing in front of her with embarrassed eyesight.
"Oh well, thanks Blu! Way to make me look desperate You moron!" Susan thought with a little nervousness.
"Well...I think I can come". Susan answered insecurely.
"Miraculously, so see you!" Paulo said goodbye. Before the parrots flew away, they cleaned up the mess they had created. All cakes, drinks, crisps disappeared in their stomachs. When they managed to clean up, they said goodbye to Paulo once again and then flew out of the clinic. They flew at a very fast pace, because the sugar consumed made them making them very energetic.
"Blu, why did you tell him that I can fly to him?" asked Susan when they reached the blue macaw's house.
"Oh, stop Susan, I saw you looking at each other" smiled Blu with a mischievous look on his face.
"No, not true! Anyway, it doesn't matter... I'll give you some privacy, see you!" Susan stuttered with shame, and then she flew away towards her house. Jewel lay down on her bed while Blu was taking care of the eggs.
"Strange... I could swear that when we were flying for a meeting I barely fell asleep, and now I have so much energy that I can't sleep all day long...". Jewel wondered aloud.
"That's because you've eaten a lot of sugar and caffeine, now you have a lot of energy in you, but then you'll feel more fatigue" Blu answered by stroking his eggs.
"Oh, this is just great!" She answered sarcastically with anger.
