Chapter Five: Relationship Advice From A Hidden Friend

Throughout the day, Linda was planning the move and Blu got his vacation trip to Minnesota to get Linda's things packed, but he didn't know that they were going to move to Rio. That was the surprise Linda was going to tell Blu once they were going to leave Minnesota. Jewel also kept getting Blu to reconsider her proposal all throughout the week.

"Come here Blu!" Jewel shouted as she chased Blu around the aviary.

And let you get your way? I don't think so. I've got to hide, but how? He then saw a bucket of mud that the assistance used to help the injured birds build nests. He jumped in and flew outside to get the excess mud off and flew back inside to where the injured birds were.

Jewel then jumped on him. "Gotchya!" when Blu turned around, she didn't think it was him and got the wrong bird. "Oh, oh I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else."

"That's fine young lady." he said in a deep tone to avoid her noticing him. "What's your name?" he asked.

"Jewel, and yours?" she asked.

Oh crap. "Tyler."

"Huh, that's funny." Jewel said. Wait a second, Blu? She giggles, noticing him. Nice try hiding, my Blu bird. Let's see how long he thinks he can get away with this. She thought.

"What!? My name is funny to you?" Blu said, trying to act angry.

"No no, it's just, my, um, boyfriend? Yeah, my boyfriend's name is Tyler to, but he goes by his middle name, Blu." She said with a small giggle.

"Sounds like he's fun."

"Oh, he's the best. My one and only." she said. "Although I've asked him to be in a relationship with me for the past week, he still thinks he isn't in one." she said in a sad tone. Alright Blu, your move. She thought.

Author's Note: That's the argument I kept referring to. Jewel wanted Blu to be in a relationship with her and Blu was hesitant.

"Maybe he just doesn't realize that he wants to be in one yet." Blu said. Am I seriously giving relationship advice to Jewel on how to get me into a relationship I am still questionable about? Huh, maybe I am ready for a relationship. "Um, are you looking for him."

"Oh crap! He's still hiding!"

"From you?"

"No no, it's a game called hide and seek. I'll talk later. Blu! You're so dead!" she said enthusiastically while running in the other direction.

Maybe I can help you Jewel. "Hey Jewel, need some help?"

"Actually that'll be…" she stopped as she was pulled into a kiss. It lasted an eternity. "Hello Blu." she whispered in his ear once they separated.

"Well, what gave me away?"

"How nervous you were, how charming you are, your beautiful eyes." she said, laughing at the last thing she said. Blu laughed too.

"Well, it looks like I still need some help with camouflage in the jungle." he said laughing.

"Well, it worked for a second."

"Hey Jewel?"

"Yeah?"

"I-If you still want to be in a relationship, I'll," here goes nothing. He thought. "I'll be glad to accept." Oh boy. Here's to another life adventure with Jewel. He thought.

Jewel smiled. "Well, I wouldn't want it any other way." she said, pulling him into another kiss.

"Oh there you two lovebirds are," said Tulio, "Are you guys ready for Minnesota?"

The lovebirds looked to each other and shrugged.

"Now, which cage or cages would you guys like for the trip?" Tulio asked.

Blu saw Jewel get a little nervous at this topic. "Jewel, are-are you alright?"

"I just hate cages. More and more are coming into our lives. When will it end?" She said, looking to the ground in disappointment.

"Well, we really don't have a choice if we want to go to Minnesota. This is the only way to get us on the plane."

"I know, I know." she said sarcastically.

"So would you like to share, or…" Blu started to say, but was quickly cut off.

"Of course I want to share a cage. I would be miserable otherwise." she said.

There were three cages. Two of them were a perfect size for one bird, but one was perfect for two. They started to walk into the large cage, only to stop momentarily. Blu flew to the table and grabbed the shakespeare book and flew back to the cage with it. "Just in case we get really bored." Blu stated to Jewel.

Once in the cage, the four got into the rental jeep (since Tulio still has yet to buy another one) and drove off to the airport.

"Blu, what's going to happen?" Jewel asked as she was terrified. At least her one and only was right next to her, keeping her warm.

"W-Well, we'll be put on the floor for companions." Blu said, putting a lot of emphasis on 'companions'. Jewel giggled. "The humans go to the top floor with other humans, and we just wait to get unloaded and they pick us up. It's not really that bad." Blu said as he noticed her shaking a little. Blu pulled her closer and comforted her. "Besides, we have each other, a book, and sleep to rely on for the flight."

"Yep, how long is it?" she asked. She has never been on a plane that was for a good reason. The only other plane was the smuggler's plane that she broke her wing on.

"About 12 hours." Blu said.

"Great." Jewel said sarcastically.

Once they arrived, Linda checked her luggage in and the cage with Blu and Jewel.

"Ah, blue macaws," said the check in man, "they're quite rare to come by. Heck, these are the only two I know of."

"That's why we're trusting you and the rest of everyone very deeply." Linda said. "The bird trackers on their feet have alert buttons to alert us if any of you try to take them for paper!"

"Okay ma'am. Looks like it has happened before. Sorry to hear that."

He then sent Blu and Jewel through some luggage strips, then they were loaded onto the plane.

Here's to the first time alone with my new boyfriend for a straight 12 hours. That'll be fun.
