And here comes chapter two of my new Rio fanfic, My precious Jewel!
Ladies and gentlemen, I have now seen Rio again. Twice. I bought it, I saw it and you know what that means? There will be no more lame mistakes about eye colours or locations.
Okay, a quick note first. I have fixed some little things in the previous chapter to make it sound better. You can, if you want, check that out. And for the second, I do apologize for not uploading in a while. I'm sorry I made you guys wait. I have been busy with school so I have just been able to write like 2 hours per day, I think. Plus, this chapter was going to have over 10000 words at first, but I decided to split it up because of two reasons:
1: I found it overlong and knew that some of my readers don't like so long stories. I'm looking at you ARSET, hehheh…
2: I am tired of not getting reviews. I WANT MORE REVIEWS, MORE, MORE, MOOOOORE!
…I like getting reviews.
Speaking of reviews, I'm going to start answering every review I get, so I better get started.
AnnoymousDarko1997 fan: Do you really think this is the BEST BluxJewel romance story you ever read? Wow. I'm so happeh! Thanks you And about my language, I'll try my best. By the way, you misspelled my name, oh the irony…
a fan: Thanks for telling, I have now fixed that along with some other errors, but you know, in the DVD box, Jewel's eyes are clearly green. It's so misleading.
A better fan: No, Jewel has blue eyes. I saw the movie yesterday and her eyes were blue, meaning that 'a fan' was right. But about the other thing you wrote. I'm good and I could be better than Corration, you say? Well thank you :DD I don't think that's possible, but who knows? Hehheh…
the invisible teen: Lol, thanks for not flaming. My grammar isn't always the best, I know. Thanks for loving this and here's the next chapter!
No-Remorse81: Aw, thanks you I updated and here's the next chap bro!
ARSET81: Lol indeed, this was a long chapter and I hope you liked it! And I already raged to you, okay not really, I don't think I have to do it again ;) Thanks for reviewing!
No-Remorse81: Thanks for that, and I'm happy that you love the story. I'm keeping up the good work, so here's chapter 2! :D
Drako1997 fan: Thanks you for the ideas, I really appraise that you try to help me, but I'm sorry but I'll have to say that I'm pretty sure none of those ideas will make it into this story. I already have the story planned, and there is in fact, no room for new characters. Instead, I try to have every character from Rio in here; especially Luiz will have a big role. And about the suggestions… Jewel does have many friends, I think, but this story doesn't focus around them. And Blu's friends… At the time he lived in Minnesota, he was still very timid, so I guess he didn't have any friends other than Linda. And if he had, what the heck would they be doing on the other side of the globe? Cool names, trough. And someone, I don't remember who, already used the idea of Cloe and Alice in Rio. I'm really sorry that your ideas goes to waste, I really appraise them, but think about it in a other way: I won't use them, why won't you do it yourself instead? Hehheh… Thanks for reviewing. ;)
Corration: OMG OMG OMG CORRATION READ MY STORY I'M SO HAPPEH! ^_^ Okay, maybe I overdid that but believe me, it's still quiet an honour for you to read my story; after all, you're my favourite author on this website. And if just getting reviewed by you is so great, so getting good response is even better. I will promise that this chapter is good. I'll keep it up, just do it yourself too man.
rioblu1997: Thankz, I think the first chapter was very good too, but just wait to read this one ;)) hope you like it too!
Crazy 5:Hey, not every fic is nice and romantic so if you think the first chapter was, I like it. Thanks for reviewing, here's the next chapter! See you later too!
Okay, now when I'm done with that, I can get on with this chapter. Let us begin:
My precious Jewel
Chapter 2: A fresh 'n cute couple
Blu woke up to find himself in the man-made nest, as Jewel called it. He stood up, but collapsed again on his left side. He turned around and smacked his beaks. He was still sleepy and wanted to rest. But today was an important day; it was the first day when Blu and Jewel did their ordinary routines as a couple. He was too tired to open his eyes so he just touched around the right side of him. Then he opened his eyes widely. For his shock, he didn't seem to find what he was looking for, so he got up on his legs and studied around him. He went outside of the nest and looked around there. He went trough the whole area, but didn't find anything, nothing.
Could it be? Was all what happened last night just a dream? Was it so that Blu and Jewel was still not together and he was still shy and timid and had no courage to describe his feelings to the girl he loved?
Luckily for Blu, when he was looking around the cage he and Jewel lived in, he heard a voice.
"Jewel, she's the one to ask." Blu thought for himself. He walked outside to find himself in the 'jungle'. The cage, or vegetative chamber, was made to create a natural environment for the resident birds and was dominated by trees, bushes, various flowers and some other jungle like objects such as the fake river and the small waterfall. And when he looked up in the tree, he saw the beautiful blue bird he was looking for. Jewel was sitting on a branch near the air-condition, but when she saw Blu she came down the sticks that were placed on the big tree. She hopped down the last steps and walked to Blu. She had still the bandana but it didn't ruin the whole. She was pretty as heck.
"Good morning sleepyhead! What took so long for you to wake up? Jewel said joyfully. She smiled at Blu.
"Jewel I feel a little dizzy." Blu said and shake his head. Jewel's attitude changed. She came to Blu and put her healthy wing on his chest.
"Oh poor Blu, are you sick? Did the cold night yesterday give you flu?" She asked with a caring voice while looking at him.
"No, I'm not sick, just dizzy. I was wondering about yesterday…"
Jewel froze at the place. What could possibly be something Blu was wondering about yesterday?
"What happened last night… Was it all a dream?" Blu continued. He put his wings around Jewel.
"…Blu, what are you doing? What are you talking about? Some dreams?" Jewel shouted and pushed Blu away in the water. It all seemed so weird. Just a dream…
"That must be the absolutely worst that could happen." Blu thought while waiting for Jewel's response.
"Blu, everything that happened yesterday was true." Jewel said. She grabbed Blu around his neck. Blu held her tightly as they bowed. Their beaks touched.
"I need some prof." Blu said with a funny but romantic voice. Then they kissed. This was the third time Blu kissed Jewel, but it was as wonderful as ever. Blu really enjoyed the taste of Jewel, it tasted like mango. And he liked mango. Their tongues played around with each other. They kind of 'danced'. He tightened his grip of Jewel's wings.
Then they broke the kiss when Blu accidentally touched Jewel injured wing. She let out a small scream and fell on the ground. They looked at each others blushing faces. Jewel was blushing due the kiss; Blu was blushing due of his awkwardness.
"Okay, that's enough prof. Jewel, are you hurt?" Blu asked concerted and gave her one of his wings.
Jewel put her healthy wing on the other. She was in hurt, clearly, but soon when she stopped groaning she grabbed Blu's wing and rose up again.
"Aw, that hurt." she said while holding her wing.
"Jewel, do we have to go wake up Tulio or someone?" Blu said and became distressed. Jewel giggled at Blu.
"You silly bird, that hurt a little but I'm okay. Next time, be more careful, OK?"
Blu nodded.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to do that." he said with a compassionate voice and looked down.
"Hey Blu, don't stress. I'm fine. You don't have to apologize."
Blu smiled. Lucky for him, Jewel didn't get angry. It was after all, a special day for them both.
They were quiet for a long time, until Blu decided to break the silence.
"So, what'll we do now?" Blu asked.
Jewel looked at the air condition that was placed on top of one branch of the big tree.
"I would really like to go out and get some fresh air. I'm bored just to sit here and wait for something to happen."
"But I'm not quiet sure if you will be allowed to go outside after the events of yesterday. Plus, you have your wing."
"Yeah I know, they have blocked the air went fro the other side. I was there the whole morning so I know that we can't get out that way. But it's possible to see the rising sun and the jungle from there."
Jewel stopped to see if Blu had something to say, but when he remained quiet, she kept on talking.
"But we could, you know, always go there and watch at the sunrise." Jewel pondered. Blu just waved his head.
"No. I have something better planned."
He came closer to her and pt his wing around her. They started to walk towards the entrance to the main facility.
"So… I'm sure that you are much tired of the food they serve us here. Am I right?"
Jewel nodded. What Blu said was really true. There was not probably a single bird who's not tired of bird food like corns. Of course she and Blu got sometimes treats by Linda, but sadly, they didn't get them every day.
"Yeah, I'm so tired of all the crappy meals they serve us. So, what are you planning?"
"Umm… I was thinking that if maybe, to celebrate the first day of our relationship, eh, I could go out to the jungle and find us some really deluxe food to make a superb breakfast."
Jewel became exited but it faded away when she realized something.
"Um, I don't know Blu. That sound fantastic, but if they don't let me out?"
"That's a good point Jewel. Then I think I have to go by myself." Blu answered and let go of Jewel.
"But it's still worth a shot. What if they let us both out? We can at least try."
The lamps were now turned on. It meant that someone was already in the building. Soon the other humans would come, and getting out than would be practically impossible.
"Okay, let's go."
Fernando had always loved comic books. But now when Tulio and Linda adopted him, he had finally some time to spend with them. There was nothing he liked more than them, except football, but it was pretty obvious, he was from Brazil after all.
His life was totally different than the one he used to live on the streets. Now he had some place called home, and people that cared if he existed or not. He lives now with Linda and Tulio in the main part of Rio, near this facility, in the same building as Linda's new bookstore. Fernando used to get his money by doing illegal stuff like transporting goods like drugs and animals. Now he regretted everything he'd done. Especially what he done to Blu and Jewel, those two lovable macaws. Luckily, nothing happened to them, because if it would, he could never have forgiven himself. He liked them. Those birds had attitude, he thought.
Nowadays, he didn't earn his money the illegal way. He worked at the bird research facility and earned them fare and square. He worked from Monday to Friday, from 8.00 to 17.00. He even had a one hour lunch break at one o' clock. The money he got he spent on comics, movies or some other interesting things.
Tulio and Linda were so nice to him. They really acted like the parents he never had. But he still hasn't learned to call them 'mother' or 'father'. He didn't care if was late some days or Linda would work together with him on the evenings when she had closed the bookstore, no, it was enough that they just came home at some time. Like yesterday when they called him at eleven when he was watching 2012 and told that they'd sleep at work because it was late and they were too tired to go home. Something must have happened at work that made them work so late. But Fernando didn't mind. Every adult worked late sometimes. And, that meant that he could eat more popcorn.
"This is life." Fernando thought when he finished reading a classic marvel superhero comic. He was just starting to read another when he saw a blue bird knocking the glass window with its beak. Next to him was a female bird of the same colour with a bandana. Fernando knew that it was Blu and Jewel, so he put away the newly started comic book. Hew took the keys from the control table and opened the door that led to the control room. He smiled to the lovebirds.
"Hi Blu and Jewel, how are you?"
Blu was really graceful that it was Fernando that had the morning pass this day. He was already nicer to him and Jewel, mostly due guilty, but if they were lucky, he didn't even know about the night flight yesterday.
"What do you want? Is something wrong with your girl Blu, or do you want food or…" Fernando continued with a happy tone. Blu squawked and looked at a pen and paper on a small stand on the side of the control table.
"Oh, you want that one?" he asked. Fernando knew what Blu wanted and gave him the paper and pen. This was a trick Blu learnt some time ago. It was much easier to communicate with human this way.
"Blu, why do you want that paper?" Jewel wondered.
Blu noticed Jewel's question and he was more than happy to answer it.
"Good issue. This is something I learnt on the time I spent with humans. They can't understand us, but I can write, and they can understand my writing, so… Yeah…"
Jewel dropped of the cart after he said 'issue', but it didn't matter as long as Blu had it all under control.
"Oookay, you seem to know what you're doing."
Fernando came with the paper and pen. He placed them in front of Blu.
"I heard you can write. So why don't you show me what you have to say." he said. His eyes grew big when Blu turned towards the paper and grabbed the pen.
"Just watch."
Then he wrote what he wanted. His way to write was excellent, even for a bird. Many first classers wrote more unclear that he did. Soon, the message was complete. Fernando picked up the message and read it out loud.
"Can you let us out, we are going to make breakfast." he said.
"Wow, that's what it says. I mean, I can read it… Blu, you really are a genius birds!"
Blu faced Jewel. He had a weird smile on his face.
"What did I say? It's so easy to communicate with them." he said proudly.
"Yeah, you sure can get your message clear in every case." Jewel said and petted Blu's chest.
"So, can you let us out now?" Blu thought for himself. It was like Fernando just read his mind and answered:
"Of course I'll let you out Blu!" Fernando said.
"I just have to take the key…" he continued but was interrupted by Blu's and Jewel's loud squawk. He turned his head and saw Blu holding the paper. He had stroke trough the word 'us'. Fernando got the message; after all, he was a clever boy.
"Oh Blu, I would so like to let you and your girl go out together, but Jewel's wing is broken. She can't go outside, I know the rules and I definitively know the consequences if someone of you get lost. I don't want to anger Linda and Tulio, after all, they take care of me and I own them too much to do that." He picked up Blu.
"I think you know what I mean, you don't want to anger Jewel too much either?" he whispered. Then he put Blu down again.
"It looks like I'm off by myself." Blu said.
"This was predictable, so it's not that bad." Jewel answered.
"And when you're out, I can clean around a little. The nest is a mess."
Blu had to admin that. When they made out last night, they sure involved it.
"Sad that you can't come." Blu said.
"It's okay, I can handle it. But come back soon. I'm starving!"
Blu looked at Jewel oddly and Jewel got the feeling she forgot something.
"…Oh, and hurry because I'll miss you." she said hasty and gave Blu a quick kiss on his cheek. Blu gave her a smile.
"You sure are sweet." he said. Then Jewel backed to where Fernando was standing.
"Okay guys, are you ready? I'll open the door back to the cage first…" Fernando said and put the key inside they keyhole. The door opened with a noise.
"Say bye to your girl now Blu!" Fernando said and putted Jewel softly so that she would walk into the cage.
"So, bye for now. We'll see again soon!"
"Bye Blu!" Jewel answered. Fernando told Blu to move back. Blu did and Fernando closed the door and left Jewel inside the chamber waving to Blu. Blu thought that he'll miss her but soon, they are going to have a nice breakfast together.
Fernando opened the door leading out from the control room. They were now inside a large room with injured birds of all kind. Most of them were still sleeping. There were no people here, only birds. Blu and Fernando didn't waste time and walked quickly past the sick birds. They went trough a door and soon, they found themselves in a wider room with lockers. That was the place were the employee kept their goods when they were working. Blu knew that if they went right, they'd be in the café where the workers eat lunch. There were also some toilets there. But they kept walking and turned to left from the room and entered a narrow corridor. There were some doors leading to various places there. One door was a little open.
"We better be quiet now. I don't want to wake up Tulio and Linda." Fernando said with a low voice. Blu tried to obey, but he couldn't resist of looking inside from the small spring.
It was true that Tulio was sleeping; he snored on one of the comfortable couches. But Linda was nowhere to be seen. That must mean that she was already awake and probably somewhere in the same building. Blu was sure that they had been awake very late yesterday due his and Jewel's efforts so knowing that Linda was awake was strange combined with the amount of sleep she got. But Blu knew that if she'd see him, there would be no delicious breakfast. So he flew fast back beside Fernando without letting out a voice.
When they came to an end of the corridor, they came to the lobby. There was a check in desk and some chairs, plus a machine where you could get fresh mineral-water. The clock was now Eight-thirteen, and it was still a half and hour before the place opens and the rest of the workers come.
Fernando walked to the front-door and pushed it open. He opened the last door and then, Blu felt a fresh wind blow into his nose. It was a long time since Blu was outside the last time. He flew a little of his happiness and returned to Fernando. The boy crouched and picked Blu up.
"Okay, I think you're free to go now. But don't be too long or Linda will get angry." he said. Blu gave him a soft jab on his head.
"Heh, hahhah… That tickles..." Fernando laughed. Blu stopped and looked at him.
"Blu, go now." he said. He lifted his hands up.
And with those words, Blu flew away. He watched as Fernando got smaller and smaller the more high up he Blu went. He loved the feeling when the wind gripped his wings, when he let the breeze carry him. It sure was a freedom to fly, as Jewel said. Blu was so unhappy when he found out what he missed the first flew.
"So Blu, of to the Jungle we go!" he thought while he flew up and tried to find the Jungle. The last time he was there he was so scared that he almost peed his pants. But now it's daytime, and when he was there, it was a night. The only thing he was going to do was to pick up some fruits and other food. Blu thought he was going for an easy task, but in fact, he was going to discover something much, much more important than fruits.
Fernando watched as Blu flew away in the sky. Sometimes, Fernando wished he could fly as well. But it was impossible, and it didn't matter. He looked up in the sky. The sun shined bright and it gave a warm and bright start at the day. Today every beach will be so full, he thought. He wasn't going to the beaches trough. Today there was a sale in the local supermarket and he was going there to buy some new movies today. And it was Friday, and that meant that he was going to get the weeks pay.
"Thanks god it's Friday." he thoughtand opened the door.
He walked inside again and was about to lock the door when he came across Linda. Her hair was very tangled, and she was brushing it. She seemed sleepy, but she had at least got out of the bed.
"Good morning Fernando! How's your morning been?" she asked kindly and scratched Fernando's hair.
"Good, actually. How's yours?
"Not so bad, I'm still just a little tired. Last night was rough for me and Tulio. I'm sorry that we couldn't make it home yesterday, but we had so much trouble here at work. I think I'll close the bookstore for today…"
Fernando was about to say something but was paused when Linda continued.
"But Fernando, what were you doing outside? You better not have been smoking or something?"
"No Linda, I just let Blu out. He was going to get some breakfast…"
Fernando stopped again when he saw Linda's face turn red. Now you did something wrong, it said. And that wasn't good.
"Fernando, why? Why did you do that?" she said loud and shake the boy.
"Why shouldn't I have? Is there something wrong with that?" he answered shocked, his voice filled with slight anger. Linda sighted.
"Didn't you learn anything about the accident that happened yesterday?" She said disappointed. Now Fernando was confused. She seemed forgetting that he wasn't present yesterday. After wondering a while, he answered:
"What accident?"
And that concludes the second chapter of MPJ! Hope you liked it as much as the first one. As I said, this was going to be a much longer chapter, but it was split. But I'm soon ready with the nest chap, I'll upload it soon, so be patient!
Aw, I can't wait to get to the later chapters. It'll be more interesting, especially the club chapter later on. Hehhehhehhehheee…
I'm going to start keeping a table of the movies I have watched the past three weeks. I just found it necessary. It will contain the movie, a word that describes the movie in my opinion, and the chance if I'll make a fanfict out of it. Check that out, if you have time, meaning more than I do.
And for those noobs who flames about my writing, I can happily tell you that I got an 10+ from the english test. I don't know what ranking systems on test, but fot you who don't have similar, I can say that 10+ is FREAKING GOOD.
See you guys later, the next chapter will be ready this week, I promise.
…Sadly, I'm not good at keeping promises.
Coming soon:
