Hello feathered friends! Here Lilmacaw again with a new special story for my favorite time of the year (and surely like many): Christmas uwu. And well I clarify, I repeat, I CLARIFY, that there are OCs that do not belong to me (well there are only two but, eh :b) which are:
-"Rose"
AND
-"Sebastian"
They both belong to: "Seb spix / scarlet macaw" who gave me permission to use these characters in my stories, so it´s probable that you´ll see them more often in my fics, and I will mention that they are his in each of them, since there may be new readers nwn. And well having said that, I close my beak, and I hope you enjoy uwu.
It was a cold but beautiful winter afternoon in the Amazon jungle, more specifically it was December 14, which meant that it wasn´t missing much before that magical and favorite day of the time called Christmas arrived, which many were looking forward to its arrival, including an adorable adult blue spix macaw named Blu, who had a great family of blue macaws consisting of his wife Jewel, and his three peculiar children Carla, Bia, and Tiago. Now yes, you may probably be wondering, a macaw? And why would a macaw that lives in the jungle aspire for Christmas to arrive? Well, it's simple, because this macaw was originally a pe-
-Blu: Ahem ...
I-I mean, because this macaw was originally a um... "partner", of a human hehehe... it bothers him to be called a pet even though he knows he was, hm who knows he's in denial of identity or something like that, anyways. The point is, that Blu was raised by humans... or, more specifically, by a human, who evidently had human traditions and celebrations, such as Christmas. So our macaw friend Blu also knows what Christmas is... and he loves it. He has always adored that day so full of lights and happiness, but who could blame him? That day is completely beautiful and wonderful... and the thing is, that just as Blu celebrated Christmas during his childhood, his children also know very well about that celebration, and this is thanks to Blu, since every year, he takes them and his wife with him to celebrate in the place where he grew up and where he and his owner used to live before moving to Rio. It is important to know that Blu and his family used to live in the great city of Rio de Janeiro before, since that is where he and Jewel met and formed their family, but before that, Blu and his owner used to live Moose Lake in Minnesota, and after living in Rio for a while, they went on an adventure to go deep into the Amazon rainforest to regroup with their species which was believed to be extinct... and speaking of that, Blu had an exciting plan which included his great friends he met both in Rio and in the jungle, and is, that just as he introduced Christmas to his wife of wild origin, this year he plans to take his friends with him to Minnesota to celebrate Christmas with Linda (the human who raised Blu) as he did every year... however there were some problems, and those were that this year would be different since they would go from the Amazon to Minnesota, and also... they did not know if Jewel´s father, who was the leader of the blue spix macaw tribe, would accept the fact of many birds going out of the jungle... and even out of the country
-Jewel: What? You want to take our friends with us?
-Blu: "Yes! Doesn´t it sound exciting? We´ll be all together, celebrating the best time of the year!" – Explained happily the blue macaw with brown eyes and three hair feathers on the back of his head to his lovely wife
-Jewel: "Ummm, look Blu, I don't know. I mean, I really love Christmas, I really managed to get a big appreciation for that great celebration but, y-you know how my father is, he doesn't like human things very much, and much less that someone goes far away from the tribe... "- answered his wife with turquoise eyes and light blue plumage insecurely
-Blu: I know, but we can convince him, we just have to talk to him and explain how everything is going to be, I already have it planned, you don´t worry *winks*
-Jewel: Ok...if you say so...
-Blu: Yes, you'll see, we will also have the support of the children, and you know that nobody can say no to them nwn
-Jewel: Hehe, well yea maybe it's true... hey love, why do you like Christmas so much?
-Blu: Oh love that's easy, I love everything about Christmas. Let's see why do you like it? :3
-Jewel: Hmm well, cuz we make a whole trip together as a family to Yourmessota and, basically, that we spend a lot of time together *kisses Blu*, and also that hot drink of various fruits that I tried last year is good hehe
-Blu: Heh yes it's true, the punch is delicious, then you did like it huh?
-Jewel: Well maybe a little yea hehe...
-Blu: I'm glad to hear that, hopefully this year Linda prepares punch again ^^
-Jewel: Yes, I hope so, but well, first we have to see if my father lets us go...oof...
-Blu: Calm love, I'm sure he will accept, you just have to tell him all the beautiful things that Christmas symbolizes and what it means
-Jewel: Hmmm and what does it mean to you Blu?
["What Christmas means to me" by Stevie Wonder starts playing with Blu singing it]
-Blu: Oh Jewel, it means so many things, there´s a looot of things you can do on Christmas day...
Oh yeah
Candles burnin' low
Lots of mistletoe
Lots of snow and ice
Everywhere we go
*Blu takes Jewel´s wing and spins her starting to dance with her*
Choirs singin' carols
Right outside my door
All these things and more
(All these things and more)
Whoa, that's what Christmas means to me my love
*Blu spins with Jewel dancing*
(That's what Christmas means to me my love)
Whoa, yeah
Ha ha, yeah
*Stops spinning with her as they continue dancing normally*
And ya know what I mean
I see your smilin' face
*Pets Jewel´s cheek for a while as they danced*
Like I never seen before
Even though I love ya madly
It seems I love you more
*Gives a little kiss to Jewel´s beak*
The little cards you'll give me
Will touch my heart for sure
All these things and more, darling
(All these things and more)
Whoa, that's what Chrstmas means to me my love
*Winks to Jewel*
(That's what Christmas means to me my love)
Oh yeah, I
*Leaves Jewel and starts dancing alone around the nest*
I feel like runnin' wild (runnin' wild)
As anxious as a little child
To greet you 'neath the mistletoe
Kiss you once and then some more
And wish you a Merry Christmas baby
(Wish you a Merry Christmas baby)
Whoa, and such happiness in the comin' year
Oh baby (happiness in the comin' year)
*Dances with Jewel again*
Let's deck the halls with holly
Sing sweet silent night
Fill the tree with angel hair
And pretty, pretty lights
Go to sleep and wake up
Just before daylight
And all these things and more, baby
(All these things and more)
Whoa, that's what Chrismas means to me my love
*Hugs Jewel happily for a second and then keeps dancing with her moving their "shoulders"*
(That's what Christmas means to me my love)
Oh baby, baby
Alright
(Christmas bells are ringin')
(Christmas choirs singin')
[The song ends with Blu holding Jewel on his wings]
-Jewel: Hehehe wow, I didn't know you sang and danced so well Blu~
-Blu: Hehehe, well thank you, I suppose that Christmas really inspires me. So then what do you say? Do we go to convince your dad and our friends?
-Jewel: Hmm ok you won, let's do it Blu :3
-Blu: Woohoo! It will be so much fun! Let's go! I bet the kids will love the idea
And so, Blu and Jewel took flight until they found their children who were playing in the jungle with other chicks, and when they told them about the plan they got completely happy, and they quickly flew to gather their family and friends, and tell them about Christmas...
-Eduardo: "Chris... what?" - Asked the leader of the blue macaws tribe of the jungle confused
-Blu: C-Christmas sir, it's a celebration that I do every year with my human Linda, and, yea it's true it's a human celebration but... y-you know that not everything human is bad and b-besides, everyone would go in my care and there´s really nothing to be careful of it's my old home since before I came to the city of Rio.
-Jewel: "Blu is right dad, you know I'm not about human things either but *sighs* that human celebration DO is beautiful and amazing! And the best of all is that the whole family gets together and celebrates it together " - she answered, leaning her head on her wings, amazed and delighted by the memories she had of Christmas with her husband and children
-Carla: "And there are lights of every color everywhere, and decorations and Christmas carols" - said the little macaw identical to her mother, only that she was a bit... more chubby, with the same pose that her mother did
-Bia: "Yes, and there are also many entertaining stories about this celebration, of course, they are all fantasy but still, you have a good time reading them" - exclaimed the little macaw and other daughter of Blu and Jewel with her feathers color of her mother and her eyes of the color of his father´s
-Tiago: "Yes! And also, on Christmas night, every December 24..." - answered the little male similar to his father but with more feathers on his head - "a mysterious magical man leaves you a gift under the Christmas tree, without trace of any presence..." - he said with a suspenseful tone
-Eduardo: A gift?
-Tiago: "Yes, it is said that he is a mysterious fat man with a red suit and white beard, and he goes around the whooole world to leave gifts for human children... and his name, is Santa Claus... and we, are the only chicks here who receive gifts thanks to the fact that we celebrate Christmas" - said in a smug tone
-Carla: "Ush, yes Tiagooo, but remember..." - grabs a small and thin branch with her talon and start to tap his brother's head to the rhythm that she said the following - "Santa, doesn´t, bring, gifts, to naughty, and, annoying, kids, like you"
-Tiago: "Ow, ow, Carla! Enough!" - The little male complained with every tap his sister gave to him while Blu laughed a little
-Blu: Carlaaa, stop hitting your brother with that branch
-Carla: "But it's the truth, isn't it dad? You always say that Santa does not bring gifts to children who are misbehaved, and Tiago misbehaves all the year" - she said mockingly
-Tiago: Hey that's not true! I'm a little lovely angel, right dad?
-Blu: "U-um weeell…" - looks away scratching the back of his head
-Tiago: "Dad!" - He exclaimed angrily with crossed wings while his sisters laughed
-Blu: A-ahem well um, t-then what do you say? Do you go with us?
-Rafael: "Hmm I love the idea Blu, but, trust me, it wouldn´t be a good idea to take 18 children on a trip, trust me, if only the half disappears just by going to the tree at the front, to another country mmmm no, it's going to be worse hehehe, you know how they are..." - he said a little nervously - "and I don´t think Eva will let me go and leave her alone... or will my juicy papaya? ~" – Asked Blu´s toucan friend to his toucan wife with a flirtatious voice
-Eva: Ahhhh no, not this time, no you won´t save yourself this time Rafael, you have already left me 2 times alone leaving me in charge of the children, while you go on a "fun adventure" with your friends!
-Rafael: "Hehehe, yes darling" *laughs nervously*, see? Sorry Blu I don't think I can go this time, but merry Christmas anyway
-Blu: Aww I see, okay, merry Christmas
-Eduardo: H-hey but, you know that I don´t agree with someone going far away from the tribe, and much less to another country!
-Blu: Y-yes sir but, as I said there is nothing to worry about, we will go with Linda and Tulio all the time and they will all go under my care ^^
-Violet: "Hey Tiago, um, and is it true? About, Santa?" - Asked a young macaw shyly, almost of the same age as Tiago with light blue plumage that had the tips of its long feathers on its head, wings and tail red, while her eyes were each one blue, and the other one red
-Tiago: Of course it is! You can ask for whatever you want and he will magically bring it to you!
-Bia: Aha, as if that was possible...
-Tiago: Uuugh, do you still think he is not real? Stop being a party pooper!
-Bia: I'm not a party pooper! I'm just saying that it is impossible for such a man to exist, there is no scientific evidence!
-Carla: *Sighs* There they go again...
-Jewel: Hey kids is enough, stop fighting for that
-Carla: Yes, it's always the same with you two every year...
-Tiago: Well it's her! She is always based on her ridiculous little books and her much adored "science"
-Bia: Ridiculous you say? At least I got proofs and arguments of why someone like that couldn't exist, while you? Which proof have you got of his existence huh?
-Tiago: Well the gifts! What other proof do you want?!
-Blu: Stop already, listen children is enough, we are not here to fight, ok? We came to inform our friends about Christmas
-Violet: Hmm, well, for me it sounds like he is real...
-Tiago: Haha see?! Vi supports me *shows his tongue to his sister*
-Bia: Ush...
-Violet: Hehehe ... *blushes a little shyly*
-Nathaniel: "Hmm well then, if our daughter says that he can be real then it must be true" - said the male blue macaw with red eyes, tail and hair tips, squeezing the cheek of his daughter Violet with his wing playfull , to which she laughed. You must know that the reason of his red feathers is due to a DNA modification of generations in his family (which unfortunately died years ago) of crosses between blue spix macaws, and scarlet macaws (whose plumage is red , so those memebers of this family usually use, or well USED to, come out hybrids
-Skyler: "Hehe, yes I agree, then at least we will go, it sounds fun" - exclaimed the blue-eyed blue macaw, who was Nathaniel's wife, Violet's mother, and also, Jewel's cousin
-Jewel: Great! And you dad? What do you say?
-Eduardo: *Sighs* I guess I can't stop you right?... Okay, you can go, I trust you Blu to take care of them, but you see Jewel, the thing is that, you know that being the leader of the tribe makes me very busy , I have to see certain things with Felipe, and direct the routine and, if I went with you, who would I entrust the position to? In other cases I would leave it to Roberto, or to Blu, or to you, but all of you will go
-Jewel: Aww... I see, I suppose you're right *looks down a bit sadly*
-Eduardo: Um, h-hey but, don't be sad...
-Jewel: Is just that, I thought you could have gone, and that way we´d be together as the family we are, that's why I love that celebration...
-Eduardo: Oh daughter, but, you know we don't need a celebration to be together, we are together everyday, right? *Gives Jewel a hug*
-Jewel: Hm, yea I suppose you're right... hehe
-Roberto: "W-well, I still don't know if we're going to go" - replied the blue macaw with long hair, blue eyes and a great physique who was also a friend of Blu, and a childhood friend of Jewel
-Sebastian: "Come on daddy, please, if Carla says it's something beautiful then it surely must be ^^" - replied the young blue macaw identical to Roberto, only with the difference that he had brown eyes and a feather from his hair and all his tail red (because like Nathaniel his uncle, and his cousin Violeta, he was a spix/scarlet hybrid), to his father while Carla blushed a little when she heard those words from him
-Roberto: Ummm but...
-Rose: "Well, I think it would be good if we all went on a trip, it sounds fun, besides from the fact that you're always busy with surveillance, you owe us some family time -w-" - exclaimed Sebastian's mother, Roberto's wife and also Nathaniel´s sister, who was a scarlet macaw with long slicked-back hair and brown eyes
-Roberto: Hehehe, alright fine, if you want
-Carla: Yay! Good thing you're going Sebbie! *Hugs Seb to which he blushes and giggles a little nervously*
-Roberto: Will it be okay if I go, Eduardo?
-Eduardo: Emmm well... Blu and you have been very effective at surveillance so, take it as a well-deserved break
-Blu: Great! Thanks Eduardo!
-Skyler: And what about you mom? Will you and dad come?
-Eduardo: Um actually Sky, since my right wing (Roberto) will be absent... I think I will need Mimi and Jack around here...
-Skyler: Awww okay...
-Mimi: "Yes... I'm sorry Skyie, I really would have loved to go with you, but still I hope you have so much fun" - said the chubby blue-eyed macaw to her daughter Skyler with a smile
-Jack: "Also think about it Sky, you would go on a trip with your daughter and my dear son-in-law" - said the long-haired blue macaw with gray eyes (Mimi's husband and Skyler's father) while rubbing Nathaniel's head with his fist
-Skyler: Hehe, yes, very well then *gives Nathaniel a kiss*
-Jack: "Yes, so you know, take good care of her Nathie, I trust you" - he said still rubbing his son-in-law's head in a playful way
-Nathaniel: "Y-yes s-sir hehe, l-I'll do it" - he said as he removed Jack's fist from his head gently with a smile
-Tiago: Woohoo! The whole family will go!
-Carla: And you? Are you going or not?
-Pedro: "Are you kidding?! Of course we are going! We will organize a new party!" – Yelled happily an obese brown-eyed red-crested cardinal
-Nico: "Our original plan was to have a party here in the jungle but, I think the idea of organizing a Christmas party in a totally new place sounds much more risky and fun!" - Exclaimed a canary with brown eyes wearing a green bottle cap on his head as a hat
-Lila: "And there is chocolate -w-" - Added a blue macaw with purple feathers in her hair, wings and tail, and purple eyes (there is no scientific explanation for this caus ...). As these last three used to live in a city, they already had knowledge about what Christmas was, such as decorations, songs, etc.
-Carla: Great! This will be the best Christmas of all!
-Blu: Well then, we will go Jewel, Tiago, Bia, Carla, Roberto, Rose, Seb, Nath, Skyler, Violet, Nico, Pedro, Lila and I
-Jewel: But... how will we go?
-Blu: Well, like every year love, Tulio and Linda will take us in their van, only with the difference that this time we will go from the jungle to Minnesota :3
-Bia: Hey daddy but... what about the weather? Will they handle it?
-Blu: Oh... well, Linda will surely bring a blanket with her as always to cover us from the cold on the way, and once we get home the cold will no longer be a problem
-Bia: Hmm ok cool :3
-Lila: "Ahhh I always wanted to see the snow" - she said smiling for the desire to see the snow in person... or in bird
-Nico: Hehe but it's going to be cold, at least that's what I heard
-Lila: Meh what does it matter? That´s why are together to give warmth to each other *carries Nico on her wings with a hug and a kiss on his head* uwu
-Nico: "Hehehe, yes you are right" - he answered blushed, since these two… were strangely a couple
-Blu: Well that's it! Linda will be here in a few hours so get ready!
And so... the hours passed, until finally the night arrived, and everyone flew down to where a yellow van was parked with two humans outside waving to their feathered friends
-Linda: "Hi Blu, Jewel, children, how have you been? :3 "- Blu and Jewel landed on the arm of this human called Linda with red hair, turquoise eyes and round glasses with a squawk, while Bia, Carla and Tiago landed on the arm of a man with rectangular glasses and brown hair and eyes of name Tulio
-Tulio: "Hehe hi kids, it's good to see you again, ready for a little Christmas holidays?" - The family affirmed with a happy squawk in unison ready to go, but not before Blu flew to Tulio and grabbed a pen and post-its ,to write, stored in his pockets - "Oh, what's up Blu? Do you want to tell us something? "
Blu squawked and landed in the back of the truck to start writing a note, which he learned over the years living with Linda, about his plan
Blu finished writing the note and Linda took it in her hands to read about what Blu had in mind...
-Linda: ... Hmm... wow, really Blu?
Blu nodded and squawked to indicate his friends to come down with them
-Linda: "Oh wow! Hello there little buddies, are they all really your friends Blu?" - Blu affirmed to which she only heard a squawk, but understood anyways - "Awww how cute..."
-Blu: Come on guys you got nothing to fear, they are friendly ^^
-Nathaniel: Ehm... al-right *starts approaching to Tulio and Linda slowly*
-Tulio: Whoa wait wait what?! *Gently takes Nathaniel on his hands and begins to examine him completely* What kind of macaw is this?...
-Nathaniel: Emmm II, wh-what is ...?
-Blu: Don't worry, he's just examining you, he's never seen a bird of your type :3
-Nathaniel: I-I see "^^
-Tulio: Oh my god is it a new species?! It's a cute red-feathered blue macaw! Have you ever seen something like this?!
-Linda: Wow um, not really... Aww and look Tulio! *He turns to see her other arm on which Lila, Nico and Pedro were standing* There is one with purple feathers!
-Tulio: Purple feathers?! WHAT?!
-Skyler: W-well, let's go with your dad Vi let's not leave him alone hehe "^^ * Flies towards Tulio's other arm along with Violet*
-Tulio: "OH MY GOD AND CHICKS TOO?! THIS- THIS IS AMAZING Linda! HOW IS IT POSSIBLE- WHAT... WHAT?! AHH I HAVE NO WORDS!-" – Tulio´s excitement, who was an ornithologist by the way, was interrupted by an impatient squawk from Blu to his ear - "Oh, ok sorry sorry Blu"
-Linda: Hehe, Blu must already be anxious to leave
-Tulio: Hehe yes, after Christmas is over I will investigate these unusual specimens further...
-Lila: Hehe they told you weird :b
-Nathaniel: To you too :3
-Lila: unu
-Linda: "Well then, let's go!" - The human yelled happily as she and Tulio began to get into the truck, and our feathered friends began to settle in the back of it - "Are you all ready?" - She asked turning to look back at the birds
-Jewel and Skyler: Bye daddy
-Mimi: Take good care my little flowers *hugs both of them with tears in her eyes*
-Jack: Have a nice trip everyone :,3
-Skyler: Awww mom *sniff*:, 3
-Eduardo: You´ll return soon, right? *Sniff*
-Perla: Of course dad *sniff* it will only be a couple of days
-Eduardo: Ok... have a good time in that, Sistma... Chisma... that thing
-Perla: Hehehe Christmas dad...
-Eduardo: That hehe
-Paty: "Are you sure you will be well daughter? It's very cold in that place..." - said a blue macaw with blue eyes and purple hair feathers who was Lila's mother (only that her hair was painted to look like her daughter, it was not her natural color)
-Lila: Yes, mommy, I'll be fine, don't worry :b
-Paty: Alright... okay, well, it will be our first Christmas separated...
-Marco: "Right, take good care of yourself ok? Cover yourself if you are cold, and do not separate from the group" - exclaimed the blue macaw with purple eyes, Lila's father
-Lila: Yes daddo, I will :b
-Marco: Ok, and you Nico I leave her on your wings to take care of her
-Nico: Of course sir *bows*
-Paty: Well... bye bye daughter
-Lilac: Bye :3
-Paty: Yea...
-Lila: Mmhm...
-Paty: ...
And then, the two hugged each other tightly crying
-Paty: Come back soon *sniff* I'll miss you
-Lila: Sure *sniff* I´ll miss you too...
-Tiago: "Goodbye friends, I'll be back in a few days" – Said Tiago saying goodbye to his other friends from the tribe who also said goodbye
-Sebastian: It's going to be a great trip, huh? *Asked Carla blushing*
-Carla: "Oh um, yea kind of, the good thing is that you will also come..." - she replied blushing too
-Sebastian: Hehe, yea...
And like that, the truck finally started, and our friends began their trip to Minnesota to celebrate Christmas all together, while the whole tribe said goodbye watching them go away...
...
