Chapter Three: Continuing On (Part 2)…
With A Sight for Sore Eyes
As the birds all came up, the three were getting ready for the exciting event that was flying right to them. Ty, Nico, and Pedro were all ready. But, as everyone was coming up, something else was happening in the jungle.
A female toucan was flying and on her way to the club. She, like every bird, wanted to do something fun for the long night. She was in the jungle and reaching the edge, but stopped as she noticed something on the ground. She flew to it, landed, and saw that it was a blue macaw chick…a female.
She wanted to speak to the chick and faced her. "Hello. Are you okay?" The chick turned and replied, "O-Oh. Hello, I-I'm fine." She appeared to be crying a little, so the toucan wanted to be supportive.
"I don't think so. I don't mean to bother you, but can you tell me what's wrong?"
The chick was still sobbing and didn't want to speak, but tried to keep her strength. "O-Okay. I-I lost my parents because of some humans, and I've been running away for a long time now."
The toucan felt sorry for her. "Oh dear girl. I'm so sorry. I didn't know. You know what? I'm heading to a party right now, maybe if you come with me that'll cheer you up, and afterwards you come with me to my family." The chick wanted to say no but the last thing she wanted was to be alone. "Okay. Maybe just for now. Thanks."
The toucan was happy to have helped. Before they went they introduced each other.
"I'm Eva, by the way."
"I'm Jewel."
Nice name. Ooh, you know, when we get to the club, you might be the top girl to catch a lot of eyes." Eva laughed as Jewel turned red.
"L-L-Let's not go there." Jewel glared, but with a smile. "Also, what's the quickest way there? Because…I can't fly yet." Eva was a little surprised. Both girls were at the age of flying, but like Ty, Jewel didn't have help from their parents with flying lessons. But since they both weren't too far from the club, Eva thought it was okay to walk.
Back at the club, the chicks made it, and the three were surprised to see that many birds showed. The music on the radio was still playing as everyone was just standing and waiting for something to happen. Even the three felt the same way.
"So, uh…what now?" Ty asked, whispering.
"I don't know, bro." Pedro replied.
"You don't know?"
"Well this is our first time dealing with a club."
"S-So the thing that was on your mind was building a club, opening it up, and just standing around regretting not getting more prepared?!" Pedro was about to argue with Ty until one of the other birds spoke up.
"Hey! What are we supposed to do here?"
Ty then used his courage to speak. "Haha. Hey everyone. Now look, you've all been hearing about this new club here, so all you guys have to do is just come on inside, listen to the music…" He turned up the radio's volume. "And get into the rhythm." A new song started to play. The rhythm to it started to feel good, as Ty was dancing to it. The song that was playing was…
"Out of Love" by …
Things were beginning to look good, as one bird began to dance along, so did the others. Everybody danced along to the social music. They all had nothing but a good feeling inside with the music. It was almost like the birds used to think that Carnival was the only time for them to party, but thanks to Ty, that idea ended much sooner. Things became even more interesting when Ty sang along with the song.
I'm out of love again!
But I need your love!
People in my life, you're the one!
Ty's voice didn't seem like the most attractive but it was good enough for the song. Many of the birds liked it, especially for the last girls that came in. Eva and Jewel made it and saw the party go on. They both said, "Wow, so this is what a club is like." They turned at each other and laughed, but Jewel was the first to stop because she also felt the rhythm, and her heart began to beat with it as she gazed at the singer, Ty. He was the first blue macaw she had seen in weeks.
She walked forward to get a better look at Ty, as she went, Eva noticed the whole thing and was smiling. While she and Jewel were on their way to the club earlier, they got to know each other and became BFFs after eight minutes. Nico and Pedro noticed her coming as well. Then when the song reached its instrumental moment, Ty opened his eyes and saw Jewel staring at him. He felt the exact same thing she did as they stared at each other. Ty wanted to make the first move. "H-Hi." He said.
"Hi." She replied softly, then more music played. The music was DJ instrumental, Jewel turned to the radio and listened, then turned back to Ty as she saw his wing to hers.
"Wanna dance?" He asked. Jewel was nervous. She thought the boy was charming, but just met him. However, she wanted to do something to get her dramatized past out of her mind. So…"Absolutely." They both danced to the funky music, and loved it. Everyone began to notice them. Seeing two young bluebirds dancing with each other so beautifully. As the song ended, Ty dipped Jewel slowly, and said "I'm Ty, by the way."
"Jewel."
After that, the whole crowd applauded them. Then everyone continued on.
Ty and Jewel were still dancing, as Eva, Nico, and Pedro loved watching them.
"Hey Jewel?"
"Yeah Blu?"
"Do you…maybe wanna stop dancing, and talk outside?" Jewel nodded without even hesitating, then Ty just asked, "Wait. Did you just me Blu earlier?"
Jewel jumped. "Oh, oh, oh, yeah. I just thought…it sounded cute…l-like you." Blu was surprised at what she just said. A girl that he just met called him cute, and he liked it. "T-Thanks. I kinda like it." So they walked out blushing and talked.
Blu talked about what he did during the three weeks and before that, and Jewel told her story, and he didn't like it. "Oh Jewel. I'm really sorry, but on the bright side, you have a friend that knows how you feel."
"Yeah. I guess."
"Oh, and you said that a friend named Eva was taking you to her family, so if you want to, tomorrow we can hangout and I can teach you what I've learned during my time in the jungle."
"Really? I-I'd like that."
So they continued talking. They even did that through all of the club hours.
As everyone was getting tired, they were leaving the club, and Nico and Pedro were shutting down. Eva came out, and let Jewel know that she was heading home. Then they went on, and the others helped Blu get home.
"Alrighty!" Nico said, gasping for air. He and Pedro were flying fast since Blu wouldn't stop running home. "You ready to…(still gasping)…go home, Ty?!"
"Yeah, actually. But you guys can call me Blu now."
"Blu? What, you hate the name Ty now?"
"No, no." Blu stopped. "It's just…that girl Jewel called me Blu and…I liked it."
The two snickered. "Ooh." Then Pedro said, "So you and your girl have already given each other pet names?"
"My girl?"
"Yeah, your girl. You and Jewel. Hey you know what, Nico?"
"What, Pedro?"
"Blu sounds really good. Because with his girl's name, it'd be Blu and Jewel. Like Bluwel or Jlu."
The two laughed, and Blu was obviously embarrassed. "Okay, okay. Very funny. You know what? We're at my nest now, so now I'm going to bed, and coming to the club tomorrow…hoping to have this 'lover-bird' nonsense dropped."
"Okay."
"Whatever you need to tell yourself, Romeo. Hey, maybe we should've named him that." They continued having fun with the idea of Blu and Jewel, and so did Eva.
As the girls went home, Eva introduced Jewel to her parents, and after hearing that she was alone, they decided to let her stay awhile. Eva even let her sleep in her room, but before they went to bed, Eva wanted to have fun.
"So Jewel. What did you think of the club?"
"It was great. Almost as good as the parties I used to have at home."
"I can see that. Especially when you were dancing with your boyfriend."
"Boyfriend?"
"Yeah. What was his name? Ty?"
"Oh come on, we just met."
"Yet you danced with him, and wouldn't stop talking to him, and also, you two were more unique than anyone. If you ask me, I just witnessed a Romeo and Juliet moment."
Jewel laughed, "Haha. You keep telling yourself that. Because I think that's the last time I'll see him again. Even though…he is the first blue macaw I've seen in weeks, and…he looks cute, that doesn't mean it's destiny or anything like that."
Eva couldn't stop teasing her. "You keep telling yourself that, Juliet. Anyway, good night."
"Good night."
Blu and Jewel were each in a bed and ready to sleep and hope to dream about what they just went through, and of what they might do in the future.
"Hmm. Me and her? Maybe."
"Hmm. Me and him? Maybe."
More Notes & Disclaimers:
• "Out of Love": This song was performed by 5 For Fighting.
If Blu didn't help with the club, then it would've taken Nico and Pedro forever to finish building it themselves, and then Eva wouldn't have come by and found Jewel until years after she learned how to survive in the jungle on her own. Also, apparently it's been a little tough getting these FanFictions done, so I'm gonna go through what I can and just finish this and TGS:HU. Then when I create anything FanFiction, I'm gonna remember to finish most of the story before publishing it.
One more piece of info, in the movie, Blu said that Linda took care of him for 15 years, and so if the present year in the movie was 2010, then that means it would be 1995. And I'm aware that "Out of Love" by 5 for Fighting didn't exist then, so just know that it is a fantasy world, so putting it like that probably makes more sense.
