Beach Bar Celebration Part 1
Hello ladies and gentlemen, I am back with another chapter and this one is going to be a mix of romance as well as friendship. All I can say is, yes Julio is definitely gone this time and will not return! So our feathery friends will now be celebrating at Leona's bar! So let's get to it shall we?
Sandro had just left the stadium after his conversation with Jewel. He felt really upset about seeing his father like that, but in a way he knew that he had to die for all the pain he caused to others.
The military macaw had tears streaming down his face, and he tried so hard not to think about recent events. But in his heart, he would have wanted Julio to stand down and stop trying to be evil. Even though he knew that he wouldn't.
"Oh god…how am I going to tell my brother? I'm sure he will understand why we did what we did! After all…he tried to kill him the first time but he failed!" Sandro thought to himself as he was weaving in between the trees in the jungle.
The crisp warm air brushed against his feathers as he made his way towards his hollow. He was only a few metres away, but he decided to perch on a branch to think about what he was going to say.
"Ok…Douglas, I had no choice…I…No no I can't say that! Ugh…brother! I did what I had to do to protect…no that's stupid! Ahhhh! You know what? I'm just going to be honest and tell him what happened!" Sandro said to himself as he took off from the branch and made his way towards the hollow entrance.
He landed just outside and knocked on the bark of the tree to get his attention.
"Knock knock! Hey Douglas, I just came by to say…Oh my…" Sandro paused for a brief moment because when he looked up towards his brother, he saw Martin massaging his talons while his brother was massaging Martin's talons. "Sorry? Am I…erm…interrupting anything?"
Martin and Douglas immediately stopped what they were doing and turned around to face Sandro who had entered the hollow with a deep smile on his beak.
"Oh, hey brother! Martin just told me a story about this great club that he went to in Rio, where they play 80's music! That sounds soooo fun! We should deffo go there!" Douglas beamed in a feminine voice while leaning up to face his smiling brother.
"It's great to see that you feel like your old self again! I missed the old you!" Sandro responded in a really positive tone.
"Yeah, me too!" Douglas replied happily as he got pulled up to his feet, and he tried to walk over to his brother to give him a hug. "Martin is really good at massages, I barely feel any pain in my talons anymore!" Martín blushed deeply when he heard the compliment and stood next to Douglas.
"That's great! That's really…great…" Sandro trailed off, because he immediately started thinking about the battle again. The tears began streaming down from his eyes again, and his brother immediately caught on. So he decided to confirm with him whether their father was dead or not.
"So…is it finished? Is…is he truly dead this time?" Douglas wondered while giving his brother a serious look. But he dared not to put too much strength on his tone as it was a sensitive question.
In response, Sandro slowly nodded his head while trying not to look into his brothers eyes. Mainly because Douglas inherited their father's eyes, and he didn't want to be reminded of him. Douglas knee why he wouldn't look at him directly, but he wasn't going to let that stop him.
"Sandro? Brother…look at me!" He replied soothingly while rubbing his shoulder in comfort.
The military macaw male slowly looked up to face him with teary eyes, and Douglas wiped away his tears with his wing.
"It's ok! It's…ok! You had to do what was necessary to save the birds you care about! If it wasn't for you…I would probably be dying in that room right now!"
"Don't say that Douglas! I am no hero like you! You sacrificed yourself to save the samba birds and I flew back to São Paulo like a coward!" Sandro replied with guilt, as he had low self esteem about himself.
"No brother!" He tried his best to tell his brother that he wasn't to blame, but it only made Sandro feel even more guilty.
"Yes brother! Look, ever since I returned to São Paulo months ago, all I've been doing is sitting around and drinking at Leona's bar! Hoping and praying that I die, so I could be reunited with the family that I lost and loved! When in reality…I should have gone into that club and chose to save you from the fire and let our father die! I'm…no…hero!" Sandro explained while continuing to cry on the spot, while Douglas started to tear up as well in concern for his brother.
Martin who had just witnessed the whole debate, decided to step towards Sandro and hug him tightly. The military macaw male was a bit surprised at first, but he accepted the hug and returned the gesture.
"Sandro honey…you are my hero! Because if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have been able to stop Julio, save my best friend's daughter, save the girl you love! Most importantly of all…if it wasn't for you, then I wouldn't have met your brother! Who I think is the, sweetest, kindest, generous and most incredible bird in the world! I thank you for that! You are a hero in my book!" The green winged male spoke to him in a kind manner while separating from the hug.
Douglas blushed when he heard the kind words from Martin, and walked towards him. He grabbed both of his wings and smiled at him deeply.
"You know…haha…I thought I was weird growing up! Liking different things to my brother, acting differently, having more girl friends than guy friends! When really, I knew I was into guys when I was young! Then when my father told me I can't be gay, he made me feel miserable. But I wanted him to love me! So I forced myself to change…but I felt so lost and confused! But when I met you today…I realised that, I should be proud of my sexuality! And I don't need anyone, especially my dad telling me who I am or who I'm meant to be!"
Douglas finished saying what was on his chest, and he widened his smile when he saw Martin looking at him warmly and dreamily.
"I just…I can't believe it! After so many years of pain and misery! I finally feel free! Like, I can be my own bird! I can go anywhere, with anyone!" Douglas beamed happily as he pulled Martin into a warm hug who rested his head against his shoulder.
"You could come back to Rio with me? Both of you can?" Martin suggested to the two brothers. Douglas looked up to Sandro and saw his brother nodding his head towards him.
"I would love that Martin! But I'll need to speak to Leona about it first!" Sandro responded happily and walked towards them with open wings, joining them in a group hug. The three males started chuckling to themselves, not realising that someone else had decided to enter the hollow.
"Ask me what?" Suddenly a new voice emerged into the hollow, and all three male birds got freaked out and screamed in high pitch voices.
"AHHHHHHH!" They screamed simultaneously as they saw a laughing Leona enter the hollow with tears of laughter. They all just shook their heads at her as she entered.
"I believe the words are 'Ah Ah Ah Ah Staying Alive, Staying Alive'! When did the Bee Gees get here?" The hyacinth female giggled as she walked up to the three blushing males. "Come on guys! We are starting a karaoke night! You guys going to sing?"
"Yeah, I suppose I could sing a song or two! You up for that hot stuff?" Martin beamed to Douglas as he slapped him on his butt.
"Heyyyy there! Yeah! Let's do it!" Douglas chuckled as Martin picked him up with his talons and flew out of the hollow towards the beach. Leaving Sandro and Leona alone in the hollow.
"So…you up for a little sing song Sandro?" Leona seductively spoke while batting her eyelashes at him.
"Of course! Lead the way angel eyes!" The military macaw male sweetly replied, making her blush at his comment.
"Let's go then!" Leona beamed as they were about to leave the hollow together, but then she remembered what Sandro said before she walked in. "One more thing, what did you want to ask me?"
"Oh, Martin was asking if me and Douglas wanted to go back to Rio with the others…and I wanted to know if you'd be up for it?" The military male asked her with a bit of nervousness. But really he would rather go wherever she wanted to go.
She thought about it for a little while, pacing up and down the hollow. Her eyes gleamed with excitement for adventure, but her body language proved she wasn't sure about it just yet.
"It does sound wonderful Sandro…but, maybe after tonight I'll make a decision!"
"Of course, there is no rush at all! Wherever you go, I go!" He responded sweetly while grabbing both of her wings. Leona looked down at her wings that were locked together with his and she smiled at him.
"Thank you for understanding! Now, let's get to the party!"
The two of them took off outside of the hollow and followed Martin back to the bar, where all of their friends were waiting for them.
At Leona's Bar…
"Chloe! Slow down on the red wine! You're going to get drunk, and Blu is standing right there!" Violet spoke to her friend as she was on her third glass of wine. Blu gave the female canary a look of irritation when she grinned playfully in return.
"Oh haha! Chloe gets drunk and the jokes of me and the geese return! Very funny Violet!" The blue male responded with sarcasm as he went to join his wife by the shore. Violet and Chloe giggled in amusement and they clinked their glasses together.
"Wow, you were right! That was fun!" Violet laughed as she swigged her drink.
Jewel was sitting in the shallow end of the ocean, as it brushed up against the sand which made her giggle. Blu landed besides her and gave his beloved a kiss on the cheek.
"Enjoying the evening sweetie?" Blu lovingly asked his wife as they cuddled together for comfort and warmth.
"It's beautiful Blu! I can't remember the last time I actually felt like…there's nothing to be afraid of! When Julio took Bia, that was probably the scariest thing that had ever happened!" She responded calmly while splashing some water over her talons.
"Yeah it was terrifying! But…at least that old, fat prick is dead now! We blew his flipping head off his body!"
"Ewww, don't remind me honey! That was really disgusting what we saw afterwards! I think I saw most of the blood land on Pedro?"
"WAIT! WHAT?!" Both blue macaws turned around to face the cardinal who was dancing on the beach with Zara. "Damnit! I knew I should've stood further away!"
"Oh relax Peddy! You cleaned it all off in the end didn't you?" Zara giggled before kissing Pedro on the beak.
Blu and Jewel continued to look at the view, but then all of a sudden Blu felt a small tug on his right wing. He looked down to see his daughter staring at him.
"Daddy? When are we going home?" Bia cutely chirped while walking up to her parents slowly.
To be completely honest, Blu was rather surprised to see their daughter with them. They thought that Rafael agreed to watch her.
"Bia honey…where's uncle Rafi?" Jewel asked her daughter with eyes full of concern. However, Bia remained calm and pointed to a spot that was just a few yards away from them, where Rafael had prepared a little cosy spot on the beach.
"Uncle Rafi brought me here to enjoy some music! I also found some cool looking rocks! Wanna see?"
"Maybe later! Right now, we are going to go to the bar! Did Rafi feed you?" Blu asked his daughter sweetly, who nodded her head as a yes. "Well that's good! Me and your mom are going to the bar! Please stay close to uncle Rafael!"
"Ok mommy and daddy, I love you!" She chirped in the cutest of tones, before joining the male toucan not too far away.
"Wow…how did we get so lucky Blu?" Jewel laid her head on Blu's chest as he wrapped his wings around her lovingly. "We have amazing friends, and three beautiful kids!"
"I don't know Jewel…but we are very lucky!" Blu replied while nuzzling his head against hers in an affectionate manner.
"Hey guys! Let's get this party started!" Martín landed on a spot right next to Blu and Jewel and once he placed Douglas down he wrapped one wing around him.
The blue spix's macaw couple smiled at them warmly and Blu gave the green winged macaw male a playful nudge.
"Well well! Look at you two together!" Blu beamed while narrowing his eyes at them in a playful look. Both Martin and Douglas blushed and patted Blu on the shoulder.
"Yeah, we got to know each other when Martin was taking care of me! He genuinely is the nicest guy I met! To be honest, I didn't actually think I would find love with my father always judging me! But, now that he's gone for good this time, I can finally live my life the way I want to!" Douglas explained happily as he grasped Martin's wing.
"I think you guys look so cute together! I'm so happy for the both of you!" Jewel spoke up while hugging the both of them.
"Thanks Jewel! Now…we should get this karaoke night started! Who's up first?" Martin excitedly asked while looking at the bar where Leona and Sandro had just arrived at.
"You can go first if you want Douglas? Care for a little song?" Blu asked his friend as he looked down at his talons unsurely.
"Oh…I don't know Blu? It's been so long since I've sang on a stage!"
"Well…what songs are you most comfortable singing?"
"Hmmmm? Probably Somebody To Love?"
"Well…looks like we have our first song!" Jewel squealed in excitement as she flapped her wings and made her way over to Leona at the bar.
"Oh god…what if I forget the words? What if I mess up the chorus? What if I…"
"Douglas…relax! You'll be great! I know you will be!" Martin reassured him sweetly while giving him a peck on the cheek. "Now come on! Show them what you can do!"
The military macaw took a deep breath, and made his way towards Leona and Sandro as they were setting up the karaoke stand with Kipo.
"Wow…you definitely seem to know how to work these things Kipo!" Leona beaned as she admired the way he set everything up with no difficulties.
"Well, being a DJ in Rio has its perks! I know a thing or two about setting up karaoke equipment!" The spoonbill smugly responded while placing the speakers on top of the bar.
Jewel landed next to Sandro and Leona and gave the two of them a warm hug. "It's great to see you guys are ok! I'm here to request a song for Douglas?"
"Douglas? He can sing?" Sandro wondered while raising his eyebrow curiously. "I didn't know my brother could sing!"
"Well…I've never heard him sing before! But I have a good feeling that he's going to do great!" Jewel responded encouragingly while searching for the song Douglas wanted. "Where is it? Where is…Ah! There it is!"
When Jewel finished picking the song, Douglas arrived behind her and accidentally fell into her because of his bad talons.
"Ouch! Oh, sorry Jewel! My talons are still aching from the beating! I didn't hurt you again did I?" Douglas panicked while pulling himself up and helping the blue female up.
"That's ok Douglas, and what do you mean by…again?" Jewel was a little confused when Douglas mentioned the words 'again' so she wanted more information on that.
"Well…you remember when I injured your talon? In the big football match?"
"Douglas…you have to let that go! I forgive you…it's all in the past now!" Jewel reassured her friend and gave him a friendly hug. "Besides…I think you owe us a song?"
"Hehe Yes! Absolutely! Let's get this started!" He nervously responded as he stepped forwards to the front of the stage and prepared himself for the song.
"Ok…checking checking one, two, three!" Kipo spoke into the mic, gaining everybody's attention. "Ok ladies and gentlemen! Our first singer of the night is Douglas with…Somebody To Love!"
"WOOOO! GO DOUGLAS!" Tanya cheered as she sat next to Nightfly who was covered in a few bandages that Leona supplied him with.
"Go for it bro!" Sandro beamed while leaning on the bar with his fist punched in the air.
"WORK IT HONEY!" Martin beamed while clicking his wingtips in a sassy manner, shaking his tail feathers in the process. Making his friends giggle as Douglas blushed nervously.
"Alright…Here we go! I'm gonna need some help with some of the lyrics?" Douglas whispered to Leona. The hyacinth female nodded and called Violet, Tanya, Jewel, Zara and Chloe to help out.
(Somebody To Love – Queen Starts Playing)
Douglas: Can…Anybody! Find me…Somebody to,
Jewel and Tanya: Love!
Douglas: Ohhh, Each morning I get up I die a little,
Can barely stand on my feet,
Zara and Violet: Take a look at yourself!
Douglas: Take a look in a mirror and cry,
Lord what you're doing to me,
I have spent all my years in believing you,
And I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody!
Jewel: Somebody!
Douglas: Ohh, Somebody!
Chloe: Somebody!
Douglas: Can anybody find me somebody to love?
I work hard,
Zara and Violet: He works hard!
Douglas: Every day of my life,
I work 'til I ache my bones,
At the end,
Everyone: At the end of the day!
Douglas: I take home my hard earned pay all on my own,
I get down on my knees and I start to pray,
'Til the tears run down from my eyes, Lord!
Somebody!
Everyone: Somebody!
Douglas: Ooh, somebody
Everyone: Somebody!
Douglas: Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Everyday!
Everyone: Everyday!
Douglas: I try and I try and I try!
But everybody wants to put me down,
They say that I'm going crazy!
They say I got a lot of water in my brain,
Ah, got no common sense,
I got nobody left to believe in!
Everyone: Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Oh Lord! Ooh, Somebody! Ooh, Somebody!
Can anybody find me, somebody to love?
Jewel and Tanya: Find me! Someone to Love!
Douglas: Got no feel, got no rhythm,
I just keep losing my beat,
I'm ok, I'm alright!
Everyone: He's alright! He's alright!
Douglas: I ain't gonna face no defeat!
I just gotta get out of this prison cell,
One day I'm gonna be free Lord!
Malcom and Sandro: Find me somebody to love,
Find me somebody to love,
Find me somebody to love,
Find me somebody to love,
Find me somebody to love,
Find me somebody to love,
Find me somebody to love!
Everyone: Find me somebody to love love love,
Find me somebody to love,
Find me somebody to love!
Somebody, Somebody, Somebody, Somebody,
Somebody find me,
Somebody find me somebody to love!
Can anybody find me!
Douglas: Somebody to…Love!
Song ends…
Everyone rose to their feet and cheered really loudly once he finished singing. He took a bow and limped over to the bar with Sandro helping him.
"Wow! I mean…just…wow! I've never heard you sing like that before brother! You were amazing!" Sandro beamed as he patted Douglas on the back and got him a drink.
"Thanks brother! To be honest…it was actually Martin who gave me the confidence to do it! I think…I'm starting to like him!"
Both military macaw brothers looked at the green winged macaw male, who smiled and waved at Douglas. He returned the wave and turned back to a smirking Sandro. He also gave him a little playful shove.
"Well…why don't you tell him how you feel?" Sandro suggested while placing a comforting wing on his shoulder.
"Why? Do you think he likes me too?" Douglas wondered while looking directly into his brothers eyes.
"He said in front of all of us that he thought you were gorgeous. Plus he did cheer you on before you went on stage! So, yes I think he does like you too! There's only one way to find out though?"
"You know what? You are absolutely right! I'm going to do it!" Douglas was very confident about expressing his feelings to somebody, but to him it was easier said than done.
Before Douglas could get the chance to talk to Martin, a few of his friends came up to him to compliment him on his singing.
"Oh wow! You were incredible Douglas! You sounded just like Freddie Mercury!" Pedro pointed out while patting his friend on the back, making him blush and wave his wing at him.
"Freddie, who now?" Jewel asked the cardinal while raising a curious eyebrow. Blu gasped in surprise and stood next to Pedro who was equally surprised.
"Sweetie, Freddie Mercury was the lead singer of the popular band known as Queen! That was the song that Douglas chose!" Blu explained as he wrapped his wing around her. "I know it because when I read this book on greatest singers of all time, he was in it!"
"Why is it that everything that we don't know, is something that you've read out of a book?" Pedro rolled his eyes at him before joining Nico on the stage.
"I think it's interesting Blu! I know Pedro likes to joke around with you, but when does he ever say anything serious?" Jewel used a rhetorical question, mainly because she knew that Pedro had never said anything serious to them.
"I know my facts are boring sometimes, but I like learning new things!" Blu pointed out, nuzzling his head against hers.
"Who taught you how to read Blu?" Douglas wondered as he tilted his head to the side in a confusing way.
"Martin taught me! He's a bird of many talents!" Blu winked at him as Douglas turned his head towards Martin who slowly walked up to him. "We'll leave you two alone. Come on honey, let's go to the dance floor!"
"Right behind you lovehawk!" She giggled in delight as she grasped her husband's wing and got escorted to the dance floor.
Douglas took a deep breath and walked up to Martin, who had slight tears in his eyes. "What's wrong? Are you ok?" He asked him in concern as he grabbed both of his wings gently.
"Nothing is wrong darling. It's just…that was beautiful! I knew you could do it!" The green winged male sweetly responded as he looked deeply into his eyes.
"Th-Thank you! It-it was nothing really!"
"No! It was incredible! I actually got goosebumps hearing you sing! There was so much emotion, and depth that the feeling was indescribable!"
"Well…to be completely honest with you. Yes, I knew when I was little that I was gay. But then my dad, he forced me to change! He told me that no son of his would be gay and that he would beat it out of me!"
Martin gasped and started rubbing his wingtip in a comforting manner. "That's terrible!"
"Yeah…then there was a point where I didn't think about it anymore, and I decided for my father to love me that I would try to be straight! He even tried to set me up with female military macaws all the time! But every time I turned them down, and when my dad asked why? I told him I was waiting for the right one! When in reality I wanted to be with a guy!" Douglas finished explaining his troubled past and started tearing up himself.
"Hey…hey it's ok darling! Come here! Give me a hug!" Martin smiled at him while pulling Douglas into a warm hug. The hug lasted for a few seconds, but the military macaw male really enjoyed it. He actually managed to gain some more confidence to tell him how he felt.
"Thanks Martin! Erm…there was actually something I wanted to…ugh…tell you!"
"Ok? You sound like you ate a bad mango. What's up?"
"Alright…I'm just going to say it!" Douglas paused for a moment to hold both of his wings up in a deep and meaningful way. "I know we only just met a few hours ago, but you came into my life and you showed me more care than anybody has ever done! I like you…and I wanted to know if you wanted to get to know me more?"
Martin paused for a brief moment and looked down at his wings gently grasping his wings. He glanced back up at him with a warm smile and gave him a dreamy look.
"I would love to get to know you more! I like you too!" He beamed happily as he brushed a wing against Douglas' face. Making him chuckle with amusement.
"That's great! Let's go to the bar and get a Malibu ice tea! I hear they are too good to resist!" The military macaw male beamed as he walked over to the bar, linking wings with Martin.
Kipo stepped up to the machine and put in the next request. "Alright guys and girls! Our next song of the night will be performed by Sandro and Leona in about twenty minutes! Their song of choice is, Rewrite The Stars!"
"Ooooh! I love that song! Every time I hear it, it just makes you feel so good and thrilled!" Jewel closed her eyes while smiling deeply. Blu gave her a kiss on the cheek and whispered to her in a soothing voice.
"If I could rewrite the stars, I'd write your name and my name with a big heart around us!"
"Awwww! Bluey! That's so romantic! I love you!" Blu leaned in and gave her a quick kiss on the beak. But then Blu suddenly turned his face into a fearful one. "What's wrong Blu?"
"There's still something that we need to talk about?"
"Oh…I was afraid you were going to bring that up! But since we are on the subject…shouldn't we also talk about your other daughter?" Jewel got all nervous at first when responding, but then when she thought about the daughter that her husband had with Alice, it made her want to talk about that too.
"Of course sweetie! You deserve to know the truth! So basically, I got really really drunk! I had too many drinks, and when me and Rafi were at the bar drinking…he basically suggested that I sleep with Alice!"
"WHAT?!" Jewel responded rather shocked and a bit annoyed at the toucan who all of a sudden looked over to Blu with an annoyed glare.
"Thanks for throwing me under the bus Blu! Asshole!" The toucan shouted with sarcasm before returning to play with Bia. Luckily he covered her ears before swearing so that the blue female chick didn't hear the curse word.
"Honey! Honey! Relax…ok?" Blu tried to calm her down by rubbing her sides, and luckily for him it worked like a charm.
"Alright…alright I am calm. Please continue."
"So…after a few more drinks, I completely lost all control over my behaviour and I couldn't control what I could say or do! So I followed Alice and Chloe back to their hollow. Then one thing lead to another, and then I woke up the next day in between them! Jewel…I am so so sorry! After two years I completely forgot about that, and I moved on with my life! Then…I walked into that samba club and found real, true love! I've never been this happy in my entire life, and I could never picture my life without you!"
Blu finished telling Jewel the truth about everything in the past, and he was afraid that Jewel might respond with either hatred for him. Or she might not even want to look at him. Instead…it was completely the opposite.
"Blu…I love you more than life itself! I obviously felt hurt that you had a daughter with someone else before me! But…when Alice explained to me about how you were all so drunk and it never meant to happen, I couldn't be mad at that! As long as it never happens again right?" Jewel responded seriously while raising her wingtip at him.
"Oh god no! Honey, there is only one bird I want to get drunk with and do it with, and it will always be you!" Blu responded lovingly while giving her a little pinch on the butt.
"Easy! Bia is only a few yards behind me!" Jewel giggled as she leaned on his shoulder affectionately. "Now…I think I need to tell you about what I'm guilty of!"
"Yes yes I know! Julio kissed you in the samba club and you danced with Sandro! I know already!" Blu rolled his eyes while giving her a playful nudge.
"Well…yes that did happen! Julio leaned over and kissed me on the beak! I tried to push him off but he was way too strong for me! He also started rubbing my chest which made me really uncomfortable!" She tried not to think about it as she closed her eyes in disgust.
"Hey…it's ok sweetie! I know you feel guilty about that, but you didn't do anything wrong! He was the one who stuck his tongue in your beak!" Blu started rubbing her back up and down in a slow and loving way.
"I know Blu…but that wasn't exactly the thing that I feel mostly guilty about? What happened to me before is actually quite bad! But I'm glad it didn't happen, because I have you!"
"Ok? Tell me about it?" Blu wondered as he leaned a little closer to her while sitting at the bar facing her.
"Alright…basically Blu…I was…I was…" Jewel began very nervously, but unfortunately for her she got rudely interrupted.
"Hey guys! Sandro and Leona are about to start!" Tanya immediately beamed from behind them and pulled them towards where herself and Nightfly were standing.
"Ok Tanya! Sorry sweetie! You can tell me when we are in private back in Rio!"
"Alright…thanks Blu!" Jewel kissed Blu on the beak and immediately sat next to her husband on the floor. "Just hope you won't get too mad at me!" The female spix's macaw thought to herself as she prepared for the next song.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Leona and Sandro with…Rewrite The Stars!" Kipo announced to his friends as he gave his mic to Sandro, while Leona already had one.
(Rewrite The Stars – Zac Efron and Zendaya starts playing)
Sandro: You I know I want you…it's not a secret I try to hide,
I know you want me…so don't keep saying our wings are tied!
You claim it's not in the cards and fate is pulling you miles away and out of reach from me,
But you're here in my heart,
So who can stop me if I decide that you're my destiny?
What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine,
Nothing could keep us apart, You'd be the one I was meant to find!
It's up to you, And it's up to me! No one can say what we get to be!
So why don't we rewrite the stars? Maybe the world could be ours, tonight!
Leona: You think it's easy? You think I don't wanna run to you?
But there are mountains, And there are doors that we can't walk through,
I know you're wondering why, Because we're able to be just you and me within these walls,
But when we go outside, You're going to wake up and see that it was hopeless after all!
No one can rewrite the stars, How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart!
And I'm not the one you were meant to find,
It's not up to you, it's not up to me! When everyone tells us what we can be,
How can we rewrite the stars? Say that the world can be ours, tonight!
Sandro and Leona: All I want is to fly with you!
All I want is to fall with you, So just give me all of you!
Leona: It feels impossible!
Sandro: It's not impossible!
Leona: Is it impossible?
Sandro and Leona: Say that it's possible!
How do we rewrite the stars? Say you were made to be mine?
Nothing can keep us apart! 'Cause you are the one I was meant to find!
It's up to you! And it's up to me! No one can say what we get to be!
And why don't we rewrite the stars? Changing the world to be ours!
Leona: You know I want you, It's not a secret I try to hide,
But I can't have you, We're bound to break and my wings are tied!
Song ends…
When the song finished, everyone rose to their feet and gave a standing ovation. They were cheering really loud in awe for their beautiful singing.
"YEAH! YOU GO BRO!" Douglas beamed as he wrapped a wing around Martin, which made him blush while nuzzling his head against his.
"YEAH LEONA! GIRL POWER!" Tanya squealed as she jumped up and down excitedly.
"Thank you guys!" Sandro responded as the two of them took a bow and went to the bar, so Leona could continue serving drinks. Then Sandro would sit at the bar with her. "You were amazing Leona!"
"So were you! I didn't actually think we would pull that song off! But…it actually made me like you even more!" The hyacinth female responded as she leaned over the bar and gave Sandro a passionate kiss on the beak.
When they separated from the kiss, Sandro held her wing very gently and stroked it with affection. "So…have you thought more about coming back to Rio? Or are you still sure that you might want to stay here?"
Leona thought about it again for a moment. She wasn't sure about it an hour ago when she was in the hollow with him, but after the song with him she felt like going to Rio with them would be perfect.
"Yeah I have! Just give me one second!" She left Sandro staring at her curiously as she flew back over to Kipo and took one of the mics quickly. "Erm…everyone! I have a little announcement to make! I've decided…that I want to leave São Paulo and come to Rio with Sandro! All of you have been amazing since I met you today, and I want to travel back to Rio with you!"
"YEAH!" Everybody beamed together, as one by one they were shaking wings with her. Giving her warm hugs, fist bumping her and Martin gave her a high wing.
"I'm so glad you decided to come back with us! I really appreciate it!" Douglas smiled at her while giving the blue female a hug.
"I'm glad too! Plus you know that I will need a gay best friend when I'm back in Rio! I couldn't let you and Martin slip away from me!" She jokes while Douglas and Martin chuckled and hugged her again.
As the night went on, Sergio and Helena sang Endless Love. Nico and Pedro sang their original song I Wanna Party. Michael and Kipo decided to do a version of The Other Side, which made Jewel and Tanya feel really really good. I wonder why?
The only birds who haven't sung yet were Malcom, Chloe, Martin, Blu, Jewel, Tanya, Nightfly, Alex, Siax, Rafael, Bia and Zara. For some reason Malcom, Chloe, Rafael and Zara didn't want to sing because they would rather enjoy listening to the others sing.
Meaning that there were eight birds left to sing, as the next song coming up was requested by Jewel.
"Alright everyone! Thank you for your applause for my song with Peter The Other Side. Now…get ready for Blu, Jewel and Bia singing…wow another classic! Million Dreams!" Kipo announced in the mic, as the blue spix's macaw family made their way on stage.
"I have a good feeling about this song!" Sandro whispered to Douglas as they all gazed at the three blue birds on stage.
Alright that is it for part 1! Don't worry, part 2 is being worked on already! I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I'm really excited to get to the next chapter! I'll see all of you soon for chapter 16! P.S Yes a few songs I used are from the movie They Greatest Showman' which is a brilliant musical and I highly recommend it! See you all soon!
