Ch. 36: The Blessing
written 3/4/13
In the city of Rio de Janerio, the magnificent sun rose up over the tropical rainforest painting the sky a picturesque orange. It was a big day for a certain
male, blue macaw named Dimas. His parents watched him as he paced nervously from one side of the hollow to the next. "Mom, Dad, I'm so scared!" he
exclaimed. "How do I handle the situation." Abilio walked over to his son and patted him on the back. "I know that Pearl's parents, especially Blu, will put
enormous amount of pressure on you, but you must look at this from their point of view." "Yeah, they're giving their daughter to you as your permanent
mate." added Eduarda patting her son on the back. "Do you remember what I told you when you were going to them to ask if you and Pearl could be an
official boyfriend/girlfriend couple?" "Yes Mother, but vaguely." he responded. "I'll make it simple to remember." began Eduarda. "Apply the three C's." "What
are the three C's?" inquired Dimas. "Always remain confident, calm, and collected." his Mother explained. "Yeah, just follow your Mother's guidelines, and you
should be fine." said Abilio reassuringly. "Thank you Mom and Dad!" cried Dimas hugging his parents. Once they broke their family embrace, his Mother faced
him. "Now go get her!" she ordered pushing him to the edge of the hollow. "I'm going!" he shouted playfully back at his Mother. With that he took to the sky.
"Alright Pearl, this is going to be hard getting your parents blessing to have you as my mate, but I'll do anything just to be with you."
Meanwhile in Blu and Jewel's hollow, Pearl was trying to desperately convince her parents to be chill with her mate-to-be. "Mom, Dad, please I know since it's
a big step you'll want to be very direct and serious with Dimas, but please don't scare him away." she requested. "We'll do what we can." said Jewel. "Yes,
but Pearl you must understand that we'll have to firm with Dimas because becoming mates means to be together for the rest of your life and being prepared
for it." added Blu. "Alright, I understand." submitted Pearl. "Unfortunately, and only for the sake of your well-being, I will touch down briefly on the subject of
you two mating. I mean very briefly because even for males, no matter how old we are it's still extremely uncomfortable for us." Blu informed his daughter.
"We're just gonna put him through a series of small, yet important tasks." added Jewel. "Don't worry he has already past one of the most important one's, so
I'm sure he'll end up doing just fine on the rest." Just then they heard a flutter of wings, when they turned around they saw Dimas looking at them intently.
"Well I'm ready to execute these tasks."
"Oh, Dimas!" cried Pearl running towards her love giving him an embrace, and a beak to beak kiss. "I missed you so much!" As they broke the embrace and
the kiss Dimas looked back down at Pearl. "I missed you too, meu amore!" "Ahem, sorry to interrupt you two." began Jewel who then looked at her daughter.
"Pearl, can I have you stay here with Dad while I have a private conversation with Dimas?" she asked in a nice motherly tone. "Of course, Mom." replied
Pearl. She looked behind her Mother at Dimas and gave him a comforting wink. "You'll be okay Dimas." she said. Jewel looked over at Dimas. "So Dimas,
would you mind going on a little flight with me so we can have a little chat on the subject of you being my daughter's mate?" she inquired with soft smile.
Dimas swallowed a lump in his throat. "Of course." he replied, and the two of them took off leaving Blu and Pearl behind in the hollow.
Jewel and Dimas flew off from the hollow till they were sure that they were out of earshot. When they touched down on a tree branch Jewel started talking
with Dimas. "Dimas, usually I'd ask you things like, "What'll make you a good protector and provider for our little Pearl?", but you've already proven to Blu
and myself on how good of a protector you'll with your vow you made being, "I'd die for Pearl!"." began Jewel. "Secondly you were able to back up that
passionate sincere statement by risking your life to save her from Nigel. Now all I need to have you prove is what'll make you a good provider for Pearl."
"What do you need me to do to show you how well I can provide for her?" inquired Dimas. "Well let's see, I need a scenario to test true skill." said Jewel then
she started thinking of the many possible scenarios. After a minute or two of thought Jewel snapped her feathers together (the equivalent of a human
snapping their fingers). "I know, how would you handle the following situation." she began. "Pearl is pregnant and as a result can be overly moody as well as
hungry." "Okay." said Dimas getting nervous again. "She demands for you to get her something to eat and be quick about it, what will you do?" inquired
Jewel. "Actually let's make it role play, I'll play my daughter, you will play, well you." "Fine." said Dimas with consent. "Let's begin." declared Jewel and
switched to the role of her daughter. "Dimas, I'm hungry go get me a mango now, and be quick about it!" ordered Jewel using the best imitation of her
daughter's voice. "Alright, I'm going!" Dimas shouted back at her a little more lightly, and he flew off to get two mangos for them. He went to the nearest
mango tree and examined each mango till he found the two ripest ones. He grabbed them in his talons and flew back as fast as his wings would carry him. He
returned to Jewel with the two mangos. "Here you choose the first mango I'll take the other." said Dimas giving a wing gesture towards the mangos. "Why
thank you Dimas, what a gentlebird (gentleman)." replied Jewel who picked up the ripest of the two mangos. The two birds munched on their mangos for a
good five minutes. Once they had both finished Jewel looked at Dimas. "Well done Dimas, you passed." she declared. "Now let's return to the hollow."
"Alright, lead the way." replied Dimas. So the two birds headed back to the hollow.
"Dad, when will Mom and Dimas get back." asked Pearl. Before Blu could answer, he and his daughter heard fluttering outside the hollow and a male voice
behind them. "That would be now." it answered and in an instant Pearl knew it was the sound of her lover. "Dimas!" she cried running over giving him a hug
and a kiss. "How'd it go?" "Ask your Mother." he answered. Pearl turned around to see her Mom and Dad talking. She walked over to them and tapped her
Mom on the shoulder. "Yes Pearl what is it?" Jewel inquired turning her attention to her daughter. "How'd it go with Dimas?" questioned Pearl looking
hopefully at her Mother for a positive answer. "It went very well so don't worry he's all good in my book. Jewel then turned her attention briefly back to her
mate, then back to her daughter. "However, I sense that your Father would like to have a private conversation of his own with Dimas before we're done with
the full evaluation of you two being mates." she turned her attention back to Blu. "Yea that's right." he replied in confirmation. "Alright." surrendered Pearl
and she flew back to Dimas. "So, what's the deal?" questioned Dimas. "Can we finally be together?" "Well, my Dad wants to have a private conversation with
you, and then I suspect yes." she replied. Just then her Father walked up to them. "Sorry to interrupt you two but, Pearl can I borrow Dimas now?" he
inquired. "Of course Dad." answered Pearl looking over at Dimas. "Dimas, will you follow me, please?" Blu asked. "Yes sir." he replied hesitantly. Blu looked
back Jewel and Pearl. "We won't be long, we're just gonna have a quick chat." Then the two males turned around and took to the sky.
The two males landed on a branch out of earshot of the hollow and Blu began his evaluation of Dimas. "So Dimas, I understand you love my daughter, and
want to be her mate." he began. "Yes, Blu with all my heart and soul." interrupted a very nervous Dimas. "I understand that but, I need you to swear to me
something under pain of death." Dimas shuttered and swallowed a lump in his throat. "What is that?" he asked. "That you will never use our daughter for
pleasure and/or abandon her at all especially once pregnant." "I will absolutely give you my word on that." replied Dimas. "Then I'm good with you being
Pearl's mate." Dimas rushed over and hugged Blu. "Thank you, sir." he said. Blu lifted his head up and looked at Dimas. "Call me Dad, and call Jewel Mom."
"Are we going back?" Dimas asked. "Yes right now let's return to the hollow, our mates are waiting." replied Blu. The two flew back to the hollow.
"I wish they'd return soon Mom." Pearl said. "Well here we are." said a voice of whom Pearl recognized as her Father's. Dimas followed him in. "Dad, so how'd
it go?" Pearl inquired. "Well, my daughter, let me put it this way." he said. Both females braced themselves. "He's all yours." declared Blu. Dimas and Pearl
ran towards each other, and started making out for what seemed to them, to be an eternity. Once they broke the kiss, they looked into each other's eyes. "I
love you, meu amore." they said.
