Chapter 28
Nico and Pedro
Blu used all of the strength in his wings to push threw the other birds that danced for what seemed like forever. They didn't seem to notice him, Jewel and Raphael pushing threw, they didn't seem to mind. Nico and Pedro. Where could they be? Probably at the bar, Blu thought to himself. If they weren't at the bar then where could they be? They had to be at the bar. He pushed through the crowd of birds, grunting with anger. He obviously didn't expect them to get out of his way and make a clear path for him like a king, although that would be nice, Blu thought to himself honestly. Couldn't they give him some space at least? Blu stopped caring about whatever he had been thinking now since he was approaching the destination. Jewel followed quickly behind Blu and Raphael followed somewhat close behind Jewel. Blu knew that there wouldn't be that many birds crowding the bar. There usually weren't that many birds at the bar, but then again he hasn't been here in forever, maybe there was a bunch of birds there, hopefully not. The only birds Blu wanted to be there were Nico and Pedro. Blu pushed one more time with the remaining strength he had inside and, he was at the bar. He was right. Not as many birds here. Only 2. Besides the one working behind the bar. A yellow Canary and a red-crested Cardinal.
"Nico, Pedro!" Blu screamed loudly towards them. They both stopped drinking the liquids for their glass and turned towards the direction of Blu's voice. Their eyes widened in surprise. They couldn't respond as Blu came stumbling in towards them, practically slamming up against the hardwood bar, barely catching himself. He contained the pain within himself and leaned up against the bar, his eyes still staring at Nico and Pedro, them still noticing the shocked expression on their faces. He inhaled deeply through his nose exhaled slowly throughout his mouth. Pain covered his mid area. "Hey guys, It's been a while," Blu said as he grabbed a nearby stool behind him and pulled it towards so he could sit on it.
"Blu," Nico spoke, astonished by what he was seeing.
"You're finally awake from your coma," Nico finished with a smile now spread across his face, the same with Nico. Jewel and Raphael came stumbling in soon after Blu, but unlike him, they didn't smash into the bar. They both fixated their eyes on Nico and Pedro.
"Nico, Pedro, hi," Jewel said to them. They both turned their attention to Jewel, smiles still on their faces.
"Jewel, it's been a while since I've seen you as well. Although I can't say the same to you Raphael, you were here yesterday," Nico said.
"It's good to see all of you," Nico added suddenly.
"Of course, the same with you," Jewel said with a smile. There was a moment of silence between them.
"Can I get you anything," a male bird behind the bar asked Blu.
"Just a glass of water please," He answered without looking towards the bird behind the bar. Blu assumed that the bird went to go get him a glass of water, but he wouldn't really know since he never actually looked at the bird.
"It's good to have you back Blu," Nico spoke to him.
"It's good to be back. I got to meet my children."
"I know. They're the sweetest little things, aren't they?"
"Of course, the sweetest." Nico took the last sip of his drink until it was finished and placed on the top of the bar. He then looked over to Pedro to discover that he was already finished his glass. Blu looked to the right of him to discover that his glass of water was placed on top of the bar waiting for him. He grabbed the glass of water with his wing. the coldness seeped into his wing. He grabbed the glass and brought it to his beak and let the liquid run into his mouth. Nice and cold.
"Well, we should probably get back up on the stage. The crowd waits for us. Well, we could just keep this playing, but then you guys would never get to hear your favourite song." Nico stared at Blu and Jewel. They both knew what song he was talking about. The song that they almost kissed too. So many flashbacks. Blu stopped drinking and laid his cold glass of water back down on the bar
"Thanks, Nico and Pedro," Blu said.
"Don't mention it," Pedro said calmly. Blu began drinking his glass of water again, before Jewel tapped him on the back with her wing forcefully, causing him to spit some of his drink back in the glass. He placed the glass of water, now mixed with spit on the bar and looked back at Jewel.
"Yes."
"Come on, we have to get ready and dance. You know this is our favourite," She said with a worried expression and worried tone.
"You don't have to sound so worried Jewel, I'll dance with you anytime." Jewels worried expression changed to a smile as she blushed a little. Blu got up off the stool and stood beside Jewel. She grabbed his wing and she ran into the crowd of birds. They both rushed through the group of birds, Blu's body smacking up against all birds bodys as he was dragged by Jewel. It took Jewel a while to find a somewhat empty spot on the dance floor. Blu was still stumbling a little from being dragged by Jewel. She grabbed Blu by the Shoulders to stop his stumbling. They were surrounded by birds.
"Get ready," She told him. All of a sudden the music stopped and a loud voice washed over the area. Everyone stopped dancing.
"Hello everyone. Good news has been brought to us today. Blu has finally awoken for his Coma!" The birds surrounding Blu and Jewel stared at both of them and cheering filled the place. Smiles spread across every bird. "So I am going to put on a special song just for them." After Nico said this the beat to this song immediately began. "Party in the Ipanema, baby!" Blu and Jewel grabbed wings and prepared to dance to their favourite song that reminded them of their favourite memory.
