Ch. 36: The Blessing
written 3/4/13 modified 5/15/20
In the city of Rio de Janeiro, 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.
