Fox: Two chaps in one night. WHOO-HOO! please enjoy.

Chapter 3

Lushes green surrounded Amara when she opened her eyes. She sat straight up and her hand slipped on something. When she looked down, her eyes widen with fear. She was on top of a pile of tangled vines which were very, very high off the ground. Looking above, she found that she was in the canopy of a jungle. The vines Amara was sitting on were connected to a couple of trees around her.

"Aw man, said Amara looking around, "how in Kitsune's name am I going to get down?"

Just then, she heard a distant scream somewhere. Amara looked up and saw something small coming down-fast. She cupped her hands and caught a small metal bird with black feathers and yellow strips. It muttered-if Amara heard right-something in a Spanish accent. He looked up at the fox girl with his golden eyes and smiled.

"Thank you for catching me senorita." The bird chirped.

"Err…your welcome." Amara said shyly. She didn't know what to next. Talking birds, heights, so many things were spinning in her head; she forgot that she has the bird in her hands and dropped him.

"Oof!" He chirped.

"Oh," gasped Amara, "gomenasai! I am so sorry! I-I"

"It's alright, no big," he said while standing up, "I'm still in one piece, no?"

Amara sighed, "So, what do I call you?

"Oh how rude of me," chirped the bird, "My name is Reeko Espono the Gukko Bird." He gave her a small bow.

Amara introduced herself. After that, she asked Reeko where she was.

"We are in Le-Koro on the Island of –,"

"Island!" barked Amara.

"Yes, island," said Reeko with his wings on his sides, "where do you think were?"

"You tell me, I have no clue." Amara answered.

"Well, as I was saying," Reeko continued, "we are in Le-Koro on the Island of Mata Nui."

Amara gazed up at the canopy Now how am I going to get home?' she thought to herself. She looked down at Reeko, "Mind telling me why you fell." She said with an eyebrow raised.

Reeko started to blush. "I…err…"

"Go on."

His face was as red as a radish now. "I was trying to fly." He bowed his head in embarrassment. He looked at Amara and was stunned to see that she was smiling but not laughing. "Why do you not laugh?" he asked, "is it not silly for a bird not to fly?"

"Three words for you my friend," said Amara still smiling, "practice, practice, practice. You'll get it, don't worry."

Reeko smiled and thanked her for the comfort. When they were finding a way get down, on of the vines broke. "What happened?" he asked.

"Nothing good, I bet." Amara answered. She looked up at the vines and saw that another was about to break. "Reeko, I think we have a problem." A strand of the vine broke.

Amara: crying Why did you put me in a tree? You know I don't like heights.

Fox: I'm sorry, I couldn't think of another way for you and Reeko to meet him.

Amara: Fime, I'll go with the flow. Please review.
