After this comes more from the others. :)


CHAPTER THIRTY TWO: ON THE WAY (PT.1)

After the other two woke up, Blu and Mikka were able to explain what happened and what their next plan was. To head to the animal hospital to get help from Tulio.

"Is that really all?" Jewel asked Blu as they and the red pair were both walking to their destination. "Yep." Blu replied. "Thankfully on talons it isn't going to be too far." "I agree. So if anything this whole thing will just be nice and easy." Said Mikka. "And it would be nice to finally meet Tulio for once." Leo said. He and his soulmate were walking behind Blu and Jewel and could mostly focus on how graceful the sky looked. Which made Leo ask,

"So guys, I don't think you ever told us much about Tulio."

Jewel, "We haven't?"

Blu, "Then I think I can do that. Tulio was the human boy who helped me and Jewel when we were lost in the jungle. It was quite a stormy night when it happened."

"Oh yeah. Blu and I were hanging out together, racing like best friends until this storm came in. We were lost and it seemed like one heck of a disaster. Then that was when…" Jewel gulped, "the worst part I have ever seen happened. A giant tree was falling towards me until Blu pushed me out of the way, saving my life and letting his wing get crushed after that act of selflessness."

Mikka showed a face of total worry. "Oh my gosh. Blu, I remember on the night we met you, you said that you were away from your nest because your wing got broken and you needed help. Is it that really how it happened?"

"Oh yeah. I'll be honest, there are times when I can still feel it a little. My wing being flatter than normal but at least Jewel was there to comfort me. Then came a human girl named Linda. She came right after us and helped get my wing off of the tree, and then she brought the both of us to the animal hospital where we met Tulio and his father."

Jewel, "From there, a lot pretty much happened. Linda, Tulio, and his dad Dr. Monteiro helped aided us, and even knew what endangered species we are, it was even where we met Rafael first, and on our first night there…it was the time when Blu and I officially became a couple."

Leo was impressed by that story, and so was Mikka but her motherly instincts kept tingling inside of her repeatedly. "I'm sorry did you say you two are an endangered species?"

"Yeah. Because…as far as we know, me, Blu, and hopefully both our families (wherever they are)…are the last blue macaws left on earth."

"Oh my."

Blu, "But right now it's nothing to worry about. I have you and Leo as my new parents and Jewel has Carlos and Sophia. So right now we are safe and each have a great family."

Jewel chuckled, "And will probably become a little closer if we don't get this vine off sooner."

"Do you have problem with this?"

"No. I just don't wanna feel like David comes up and wait to see which one of us ends up going head first to Goliath."

"Oh!" The chicks laughed to that joke. The scarlet pair only rolled their eyes, not getting it. Just walking.

The ground was smooth dirt, the trees were blooming and brought out nice shade, and the sky still didn't change its beautiful painting. The scenery still looked amazing to the four. So each pair held their wings together, enjoying the moment. Which made Jewel request, "Hey Blu? While we're on our way, do you think you can whistle something for us?" "Uh-huh. Hmm…" Blu thought it over until one tune did come in mind. So he opened his mouth and began whistling…"Send Me On My Way" by Rusted Roots. He began to think she was referring to something more romantic but judging by her smile, she seemed satisfied "on the way" to Tulio's hospital.

Things still looked good for the gang and it got better when Jewel was the first to spot the building. "There it is guys."

Leo, "Whoa. Nice looking diggs."

The look of it was pretty huge and clean. Definitely seemed like a comforting spot for all birds. And Blu, out of the two, was looking more forward into showing his friends the place and introducing Tulio than Jewel was. "Alright guys, get ready to enter another place that I could ho-" Before he finished, a speeding jeep came by and hit a mud puddle. Causing a massive wave of mud to fly from the top of the air to where the four were standing. They were completely covered with mud and frozen with disgust. "What just happened?" Leo coughed. Blu responded, "I don't know, that vehicle came in so fast, I didn't see it come-" Then to their surprise again, a large hook attacked a black long tether appeared and got caught on the middle of Blu and Jewel's vine. "What the?" Then it yanked them out of the sidewalk. "BLU!" Mikka yelled. Blu and Jewel were stuck on that hook that from the jeep, which appeared to be carrying a hoard of tools. The two young kids were flying away in the worst away, so Mikka and Leo tried running towards them as fast as they could. Both of them feared the worst. Blu wasn't feeling any different for he and Jewel were being pulled against their will and were hitting the ground repeatedly because of whoever was carelessly driving the jeep.

"Blu! I don't! Feel! Right!" Jewel yelled, beginning to feel nauseous and in pain.

"Mutual!"

Blu couldn't do anything, but Jewel didn't want to give up so she quickly used her wings and hovered very fast, trying to catch up with the vehicle and keep herself from hitting the ground. It worked, and she was able to grab Blu with her talons just as tight as she could.

"Ahh…ah, thanks Jewel."

"No problem. Now, don't distract me, it's hard for me to focus under these circumstances."

"Right."

Jewel continued flying fast until she was able to reach the end of the jeep and gently toss Blu and herself on top of a tool box. "Phew…we're fine. We're fine." "Yeah. Wait, where's Mikka and Leo?" "GUYS!" That came from Mikka. Blu and Jewel sat up and saw their friends from the distance. "Oh no. Guys, we're okay! Don't worry!" Each pair was far apart from each other but Mikka and Leo could see that their young friends were okay. "Oh dear. Oi, why didn't I see that coming?" Mikka felt like crying until Leo hugged her. "Hey, hey, it's okay. Look we both saw them just now. They're okay. And by the looks of it, I think they're heading to the city." "I think that's what worries me. I don't know where in the city they might end up and you saw how they were getting hurt. I just feel so helpless right now. Our son could be in danger." "No, no. Look at me. Mikka, look at me. You and I have known Blu for a long time. He and Jewel are both tough little guys. And if there's anything that you or I know very well about them…it's that they can survive anything together. Do you understand?" "Yes…(sob)…thank you." "It'll be okay." They hugged each other, and as much as they wanted to wash the mud off of themselves, they knew they had to go and help their friends. Which meant that it was gonna be a long way to the city from where they were at.

"I hope they heard us." Blu said as he and Jewel were still in the back of the jeep. "Me too. But I think they know we're okay. We're gonna be okay." "I know. Though it looks like we're not gonna be going back to the hospital." "Maybe we can head to Luiz's garage. There's plenty of stuff here that could help." "Hopefully. But for now, I wanna relax. My back hurts from all that Looney Tunes nonsense. Ouch." Blu tried rubbing his own back, and Jewel tried helping by massaging him. He did the same for her, and both of them weren't feeling anymore street burns. All they could do was hope that their position would get better before it could get worse.


Do you guys think so?
