Chapter 2: The Mismatched Pair

About a couple of years ago…

It was just another typical, peaceful morning in the Amazon rainforest. Every animal was waking up to start another day as they usually do. Some were washing themselves in streams and waterfalls, while others were eating fruits and nuts to get some energy into their bodies for the day.

Just outside the territories of the Blue and Scarlet macaw tribes, a lone Scarlet macaw was just waking up in an empty hollow. He stretched his wings and yawned heavily as he got up and looked besides him, expecting to see his girlfriend sleeping peacefully besides him.

"Hey, where's Lily. I wanted to wake her up with a kiss." He said sadly as he looked down at the empty spot. "Maybe she is washing herself at the waterfall." He thought and walked out of the hollow and took flight to a nearby waterfall.

Lily was indeed cleaning herself in a small pond, where a small waterfall filled it. She was a female Blue macaw, not a Scarlet as one would expect another Scarlet to pair with. However this was a rather odd, but loving relationship between two different species of birds.

"Man, this water feels so good." Lily said softly as she washed some dirt sticking to her belly, enjoying the coolness of the water.

The Scarlet macaw soon enough found her bathing, but stopped when he saw her and hid behind some foliage.

"Man, she is so much more beautiful in there." The Scarlet macaw said dreamily and was so lost by his girlfriend's beauty that he did not realize he stepped on a twig.

The twig broke with so much noise under the Scarlet's talons that Lily heard it and turned towards the direction that the Scarlet was hiding in.

"Alex? Is that you?" Lily called out. "Come out." She said sternly.

Alex the Scarlet macaw knew he was busted and walked out slowly while sighing and came into the water to stand in front of Lily.

"So Alex, you were spying on me?" Lily asked, Alex saying nothing. "Well it's time for some punishment, close your eyes." Lily ordered, Alex obeying his girlfriend.

Lily put her wing in the water and splashed some water on Alex's face, the coldness hitting him hard and the force nearby knocking him over.

"AH!" Alex shouted. "Did you really have to do that?" Alex replied annoyed.

"What? It's funny." Lily giggled as she looked at Alex's expression and his now wet body.

"Oh you are going to get it!" Alex shouted and tackled Lily.

The two were laying down in the water, playfully wrestling around while laughing and having a good time. They eventually stopped to breath and get some much needed oxygen as they both laid down next to each other in the water.

"Man that was a lot of fun." Alex remarked as he smiled and turned his head to look at Lily.

"You could say that again." Lily chuckled as she looked at Alex. "I love you."

"Love you too." Alex replied and went froward to place a loving kiss on Lily's beak.

Lily returned it and both of them put their wings on each other as they enjoyed the nice feeling. However, they both soon heard some voices nearby and Lily broke the kiss to ask Alex if he heard the voices.

"Alex, you heard that?" Lily asked.

"Yes, who is that?" Alex wondered too.

Suddenly out of the trees, a patrol of Blue macaws were flying past, coming closer and closer to Alex and Lily. They were talking along themselves so they were not paying close attention to the mixed pair below.

"We better hide!" Alex shouted quietly.

"Quick, into the waterfall!" Lily replied just as quiet and the two ran quickly into the waterfall, hiding themselves in the wall of water.

The two took slow and deep breaths as both were hoping they were not spotted by the patrol. They watched as the Blue macaws went flying past, luckily they did not spot the two and just continued on with their patrol like nothing happened. Both Alex and Lily breathed a sigh of relief when the patrol was out of sight.

"That was too close." Lily commented as she felt her heartbeat go down from going up so high.

"Yeah, thankfully we didn't get caught." Alex added as he also let his heart relax.

Along all the macaw tribes in the Amazon, there was one important rule that everyone had to follow. Macaws cannot have a mate of another Macaw species, they can have unofficial relationships between two different species of Macaws, but they cannot be official mates for life. And every macaw leader agrees to it and makes sure their tribe members follow it.

However the relationship between Alex and Lily was special. It all started when they shared that special kiss under the mistletoe and their feelings towards each other have been growing ever since and finally they became an official couple when Alex finally revealed how he felt on Valentine's Day to Lily and they shared a much more passionate kiss together.

However they were both scared because the universal law between all macaw tribes. They had to keep their relationship a secret and stayed away from both tribes when together to avoid everyone. They did tell their few trustworthy friends about it to relieve some pressure off of them, but they have yet to reveal it to everyone. They both decided they loved each other very much and were perfect for each other and nothing was going to separate the two apart.

"We should get back to our tribes Alex." Lily said to Alex, with a sad face on.

"Yeah, I guess you are right." Alex agreed as both stepped out of the water and shook themselves dry.

After they felt all dried up and helped flattered their feathers back to their original places, the two came together in a loving hug, feeling each other's warm bodies for comfort.

"I'm going to miss you today." Lily started crying as she held onto Alex tightly.

"Me too." Alex replied as he hugged back just as tightly, not wanting to let go.

The two broke the hug and looked into each other's eyes before sharing one last kiss of the day, enjoying it while it lasted.

"I love you and that will never change." Alex said as he wiped Lily's face with his wings.

"I know, I love you too." Lily replied, trying her hardest to stop crying.

After some more comforting and hugging, the two finally flew off back to their respective tribes with heavy hearts. Alex felt his heat go cold as he flew on back to the Scarlet tribe, where another day, without Lily, would start for him.

And there we go guys!

See you can never separate true love!
