Chapter two
I woke up before Julie the next morning, felling refreshed. I got up and stretched, yawning as I popped some bones. I walked out of my nest as I decided to get us some breakfast. I quietly flew out of my hollow and went to the same mango tree as before, looking for a large one for us.
Finding one, I clipped the stem with my beak, holding onto the mangos' stem with my beak as I flew back to my tree, wondering if Julie was awake. As I flew back to my tree, I suddenly remembered that the feast of Jewels will be held in three days, giving me two days to plan and one day to find a date for it.
The feast of Jewels is when the whole tribe gets together to have a good time. During the feast, all of the macaws can ether sing to their date or sing a duet with their date; this is a time for the macaws to express their love for each other through song. Immediately I knew what song I was going to sing, but it depended on ether or not the girl I wanted to ask said yes.
I landed inside of my hollow two minutes later. I dragged the mango across my hollow as quietly as I could, hoping not to wake up Julie. I let go of the stem and turned around to my nest in time to see Julie yawn widely as she got5 up. "Good morning!" I greeted her as she walked over to me. "I went ahead and got us some breakfast" I explained to Julie, a grateful gleam in her eyes as she told me thank you.
After we ate the juicy mango, I asked Julie if she had any plans for the feast of Jewels. "It depends on the macaw I want to ask says yes" Julie replied, a cautious tone in her voice. "How about we tell each other who we want to ask to the feast by the count of three?" I suggested after a moment of silence; Julie quickly agreed. "One" I said. Julie said "Two". We both said "Three" at the same time. "You" I and Julie Chorused at the same time.
My hear leapt for joy when I heard this, and from Julies expression, she felt the same way. "So, what do you want to do?" Julie asked me. "We can practice our songs" I suggested; I was wondering what song she was going to sing. "I wanted to sing a duet with you" Julie explained. "That sounds like a excellent idea! I also wanted to sing a song, but I have to do it solo" I explained. "That is alright. What song are you going to sing?" Julie asked me. "I am going to sing Steal My girl. What song are we going to sing?" I asked Julie "We are going to sing A Thousand Years." Julie replied.
"Well, let's get started!" I said as our rehearsing started.
