Blu and Jewel went back to their nest, where they spent the night in this artificial jungle. While Jewel was agile through obstacles, Blu had trouble getting branches away from his face several times.
"Maybe the branches could have been more soft," said Blu one time when he got hit in the face.
"There are more of them in the real jungle," said Jewel giggling.
"It's not the same," replied Blu by wiping the place where he was hit. They walked a long way, because before they got to their destination it got pretty dark and the tree where they had the nest was pretty much out of sight.
"Okay, you climb up there and I'll go find some food, okay?" Suggested Jewel when they stopped under the trunk.
"What? Oh, yes, yes, yes... You go look for something to eat and I'll go... Up there," replied Blu when he broke away from his thoughts.
"What are you thinking about, Blu? You're still in your mind... Why don't you share it?" Asked Jewel.
"Everything's fine, Jewel, it's just... Little thoughts, nothing happened," answered Blu. Jewel moved her wings and flew away.
"Still thinking about something... Poor guy," thought Jewel when she flew. She stopped a few dozen meters away, where the mangoes were. She started to tear off the best ones. Meanwhile Blu was standing alone under the tree and still thinking whether to go to the ventilation now or wait for Jewel to sleep.
"If I'm not in the nest, knowing Jewel's life will make him nervous. But I want to go there so much..." ...was thinking about Blu's choice.
"Eh... Well, I'll stay." Blu finally decided. He went up to the tree and started climbing. It went slowly but steady, so just a few minutes later he climbed to the nest where he was just waiting for Jewel to bring the expected dinner. Meanwhile, Jewel was flying between the trees looking for fruit that she thought would be good.
"it's impossible for me to pick all the good ones..." Windered Jewel while looking for fruit. Eventually she found a tree where the fruit looked lively and nutritious.
"Finally, I found it!" Thought an excited Jewel. She landed on a branch and started to pick the fruit with her claw, cutting through the bundles. When she was picking the fruit, she noticed a small grey box that was hidden in the leaves.
"What's that?" Wondered Jewel looking at it. She went up to the device and looked at it, taking away the leaves. It had a lens in the middle and a little red light was flashing downstairs.
"Blu should rather know what it is," thought Jewel. She picked up the fruit she had picked up before and then flew off the branch with a slight difficulty.
After a few minutes, she was already at the nest. When she threw the fruit on the ground, Blu suddenly broke away from the wall, jumping up slightly out of fear.
"Yeez, Jewel, say something and you're not scaring me! Do you want me to die?" Said Blu, looking in fearful eyes at Jewel, laughing at him.
"You must be vigilant... And what did you draw?" Asked Jewel as she approached the wall. The ventilation hall was knocked out. She looked at Blu, who was looking around to avoid her eyesight.
"What? I was bored of knitting it a little bit," mocked Blu away.
"Well... You've got fruit, you'll need to eat it tomorrow." Said Jewel pushing the mango towards Blu.
"Uh... What's the strength for?" Asked Blu.
"I'll tell you later, eat now," said Jewel, giving a piece of fruit. The atmosphere during eating was quiet and cold. Jewel and Blu just ate without saying a word. Every now and then Jewel would take a look at Blu, who was slowly chewing a smaller and smaller piece of fruit. Finally, when Jewel finished her fruit, she gently hooked Blu to pay attention to her.
He shook his head again and still being a little bit thoughtful he looked at it.
"What's bothering you so much? You don't pay attention to anything," said Jewel.
"Nothing happened, really!" Blu replied while he tried not to look at her. But, she clearly knew that something was obviously bothering him..
"Then maybe pay attention to me, and you're not staring at that strange thing on the wall." She showed her wing on a drawing that was scratched in the wall.
"He means nothing, what do you want from him?" Asked Blu.
"Why are you staring at him?!" Asked Jewel in frustration.
"Can't I?" Asked Blu ironically.
"Well... (SIGHS) Eh... Well, you can, but what do you keep thinking about?" Beamed Jewel with a little nervousness.
"I can't fly," he decided to lie to her.. He thought it was the right time to take advantage of this flaw for the first time.
"Really?" Asked Jewel, immediately forgiving Blu.
"Well... Well, I just wanted to tell you that I was thinking about it."
"I?"
"I wanted to teach you how to fly tomorrow," answered Jewel.
"Really?" Asked Blu.
"Yes..." said Jewel in response.
"Well... I think we can try," laughed Blu briefly while in his head he was extremely nervous at the thought of flying.
"Well, that might be interesting," added Jewel.
"Yes... But now," proposed Blu laying down by the shore spreading his wings.
"How about a rest?" Asked Blu lying down.
"Mmm how could I say no," replied Jewel with a slight giggle. She lay down on Blu's right wing and then kissed him on the cheek.
"Good night Blu, remember that I love you," said Jewel.
"I love you too, sleep well," said Blu.
"Oh baby, I forgot to say... When I was picking fruit, I saw a device. Something red was flashing and it was square," said Jewel.
"The camera..." ...immediately repulsed Blu.
"Yes... The camera..." ...quietly repulsed Jewel. They were still lying together, but Blu was just waiting for the moment when Jewel would finally fall asleep and be able to get up to go to the vent.
"They're probably watching us..." Blu thought at some point, reminiscent of Jewel's words.
"I hope she's asleep quickly, I'm a little sleepy too," then Blu thought, waiting for the moment when Jewel falls asleep. She had her eyes closed, but Blu knew she wasn't sleeping yet. It took a few minutes before Jewel fell asleep and snored quietly.
"Now just take out the wing..." Blu said quietly and then tried to lift the Jewel slightly so that he could pull the wing out from under her.
"Ugh... It's heavier than it seems," thought Blu when he tried to pull the wing out. Finally, after a few attempts, he succeeded. He got up and gave Jewel a little kiss on the cheek.
"Good night Jewel, I have to go..." ...he's gone. He stood up and sat on the edge looking at the view he could now admire.
"It's all so real. You really think it's all real."
I wonder why they're keeping us here, and if they're going to let us go. But I prefer not to check it out. And this camera... I bet they've been watching us from the beginning! I just wonder why... Never mind. Tomorrow we'll be gone, or in a few days. It is worth living, but to live you have to live really," thought Blu. Trying to be quiet, he was coming down from the tree.
