Decision

"Oh, Blu, I told you not to enter!" started Jewel's conversation when she and Blu were outside the clinic. Blu would prefer not to return to this subject, but Jewel liked to point out the mistakes he actually made.

"After all, nothing happened, right?" Blu began to defend himself, but Jewel made a rather upset face and then a smile quickly descended from Blu's beak.

"I would rather avoid this situation wouldn't you?" asked Jewel what Blu was trying to say about his defence, but when he realized that he couldn't really say anything he simply lowered his head down.

"But well... Fortunately, we managed to avoid some consequences" defended Jewel of her husband so that he could feel a little better in spirit.

"Yes, I think it will be the best solution for both of us" Blu answered shyly trying to smile. Jewel and Blu interrupted their dialogue to stay for a while in silence and "loneliness", but after a few moments the silence for both of them got bored, so the dialogue returned.

"What would you like to call our children Blu?" asked Jewel, completely changing the subject. Blu thought about it for a moment, making it clear, because under his beak he spoke various names.

"Well, so honestly, what name you choose will surely be as beautiful as yours" said Blu, to which Jewel blushed and smiled. Blu bent down again, but this time to look at a city that was really white because the lamps obscured the view of the city.

"Look at what kind of city is illuminated, something incredible! For me it was just one lamp standing at the crossroads..." said Blu trying once again to look at a city that was difficult to see because the light of all the lamps simply dazzled him. Jewel looked at the city, but after a while, just like Blu, she turned her gaze away from the dazzling city.

"Well, you haven't had the opportunity to see such a view of the truth?" asked Jewel, with her eyes lightly glassed, because the strong light became a sign.

"Oh no, only in live broadcasts" said Blu, but Jewel started to smile again also giggling out loud.

"What's so funny for you again?" Blu asked a little bit upset.

"These human names... They're so funny!" said Jewel, interrupting her laughter and then laughing even more. Blu only sighed hard and the conversation ended to be able to look around the blue clouds of the city. Soon Blu and Jewel reached their hollow, which was as usual intact.

The "Truly peaceful neighbourhood" thought Blu when he couldn't hear the smallest shovels of the wings. Blu and Jewel went inside and then both future parents approached their eggs to take care of them. Meanwhile, Paulo, feeling thirsty in his beak, woke up from sleep, and then saw next to him a sweet scarlet parrot, which had its head on his head. Paulo was happy to observe Susan's chest, which was rhythmically rising and falling down.

"Ah, she's as sweet as she sleeps" thought Paulo, and with sadness he gently took her head off his body to get up. Paulo watched his friend who was in deep sleep for a while and then decided to go to the stream to have a drink, which was under his nest. Paulo flew into it and took half a coconut to pour fresh and crystalline water into it. Paulo absorbed the water for quite a long time because he was immersed in his thoughts about his new friend. He woke up only when he spilled water on himself, because he was afraid of one of the parrots, who terribly screamed out for an unknown reason.

"What the hell?!" Paulo, nervous, blinks, and then he sees his feathers on his chest, which were completely wet in the water. He tried to dry them with his wings, but did not see any positive results.

"Ohhhhh, now I have to have water on them...". Paulo sighed hard and sat down in front of the stream looking at his reflection on the blue surface of the water. It didn't take long for Paulo to get lost in his own thoughts.

"Ah, Susan. She is so beautiful, but does she have a boyfriend?" wondered Paulo, but he sighed a little bit disappointed. After all, who wouldn't want such a charming girl like Susan?

"Anyway, she doesn't even know me, she just likes me... But this kiss..." sighed Paulo, more and more embarrassed, it was the moment when Paulo was lost in his own feelings. He hadn't met someone he really liked so much for a long time. He liked Blu and Jewel, the last slip-up didn't hurt their friendship, but he felt something special to Susan, something he couldn't comprehend. When he saw her immediately, a smile was greeted on his face, and his soul also enjoyed the presence of a scarlet parrot. Furthermore, the advantage was the fact that it was of the same species as him, he wanted to get to know someone "from his family". Paulo decided to do the same as anyone in love: he decided to find a flower with many petals and let him decide what to do.

"Others are doing this, why am I not going to do this?" Paulo thought about it and started looking around the aviary and then noticed a few flowers that had lots of petals.

"Yes, this flower will be good" said Paulo, and then he pulled out one of them. He sat down at the shore of the lake and started to pull out the petals of the pink flower one by one.

"Okay, tell her this, don't tell her, tell her this, don't tell her...". Paulo immersed himself in this activity, saying for a long time the same phrases, what would be one thing for an ordinary bird: madness, but in the end what will not be done for love? Paulo didn't even notice that the sky wasn't so dark anymore, but it was a little brighter, despite this Paulo didn't stop talking: "To say, not to say, not to say, not to say..." but from minute to minute with more and more irritation. In the end for Paulo, the last four petals of the flower were left, Paulo pulled them out of the torturing and slowly.

"Do not talk... To speak... Do not speak... Talk! I'll say, yes, I'll say!" exclaimed Paulo, but when he realized that Susan was still asleep, his tone disappeared.

"I'll tell you what's going to happen that day" whispered Paulo, who was very happy. Throughout this time Paulo realized that his feathers were dry, that they had dried up all the time.

"It's better to lie asleep..." he sang Paulo and flew into the same hollow from which he flew. He lay down as before, and placed Susan's head on his chest, so that she did not suspect anything.

"Oh, Susan's bedtime" said Paulo gently, and then he fell asleep closing his eyes.
