A.N. I was terribly busy Sunday so I thought that I had better update as soon as possible, so here you go Chapter 4. As always, expect updates every Sunday.

Chapter Four: Perfect

"Hi Jewel, I see your back."

Blu and Scarlett had since disconnected and turned to face Jewel and Nico, who had gathered most of their composure; although Jewel was fighting the urge to burst in to a hysterical fit of tears at any moment.

When Jewel did not reply Blu removed his wing from Scarlett's back and walked up to her. He put a wing on each of her shoulders and shook her lightly; she was as cold as ice.

"Jewel are you ok?" he asked her with as much kindness as he could muster. Nico, who was still not fully recovered, stood there quietly trying to figure out why Blu would be this naive.

"Jewel, what's wrong?" This time it was Scarlett who had spoken; this was enough to snap her out of it.

Jewel looked Blu straight in his eyes and shrugged his wings off of her shoulders. She took a step back onto the rim of their hollow; her train was slowly swaying in the wind. It was all very ominous.

Then without a word, she bolted, flying straight off into the trees.

This shocked Nico even more; he never would have thought Jewel to be this distraught. He looked at the two birds in front before quickly turning to follow after her.

Scarlett hopped over to where Blu was standing looking out at Nico vanishing beyond the tree line. "What was that about?" she asked now also looking to the point where Jewel was moments before.

Blu looked at her; he was quite concerned, "I don't know, she's never done anything like this before."

!"£$%^&*()

Jewel flew rapidly out off the trees onto the top of a narrow cliff, well, narrow for a human; it was still wide enough to fit four more large macaws. She landed about a foot from the edge and finally burst into tears.

Not long after her first tear reached the rocky floor, Nico rushed out of the trees calling her name. As he spots her he rushes over quickly.

"Jewel, girl, I..."

"NO, you have absolutely no I-idea how I f—f-feel right now!"

"But I thought that you would-"

"Would what? Get him? Confess my love for that bird sooner? I screwed up Nico! Now he's gone forever." Her seething anger for herself burned through her crying fit.

"What? No, I just never figured Blu,"

"Don't say his name!"

A little freaked out Nico continued "I never figured him to go for a bird that he had only known for a day."

"I thought he cared for me." Jewel was kneeling, as best a bird could, on the cold ground. She was ignoring everything Nico brought up about Blu.

He walked up to Jewel, she had mainly stopped crying but the tear stains had left streaks down her face the same colour as Blu's feathers. "It's not worth it Jewel. The Blu I know would never do something like this to you; maybe what we saw was just..."

"Just WHAT Nico? WHAT? You saw it; he was kissing her, KISSING HER, which normally means that two people love each other!"

Nico, being the supposed love master that he was, was surprised to be a bit out of his depth on this one; seeing that he had only heard of things like this happening. 'Maybe Pedro would be able to help me out with this one?'

"Do you know what? It's not worth it. HE's not worth it. He's not worth my love and admiration! Even if he saved my life, even if I gave him my first real kiss." She moved over to the edge of the cliff. "I'm just going to jump."

"But Jewel, you're a bird." Nico said in a monotone.

"I know I'm a bird Nico! I'm not going to open my wings; I'm just going to end it."

"Think about it, what would Blu feel if you jumped? You're his best friend girl."

"Friend, friend, he'll never like me as anything more." She turned and closed her eyes listening to the wind.

"Jewel don't-" Nico was cut off as Jewel, wings tucked, pushed backwards off the cliff.

!"£$%^&*()

"I hope she's ok." Blu had been pacing around his side of the hollow for the past 10 minutes.

"Blu that's the seventh time you've said that, Come lay back down with me." She said with a smile.

He turned to see her patting the side of their nest. Walking over he gently laid next to her and let her place her head in the crook of his neck.

"I know, but I want her to be alright; you never know what Jewel's going to do when she's upset."

Hugging him tighter Scarlett laid one of her wings on his chest. "Jewel's your best friend, she was probably just a little shocked at what she saw, that's all; I'm sure Jewels fine. Still, you have me here right now."

He opened his wings and looked at her from a distance. The moon was just past Blu's side of the hollow, all of the light missed him entirely; but caught Scarlett in all her glory. He stood there admiring her red and blue feathers.

"Blu? You ok?"

"I'm perfect." He smiled and pulled her into their most loving hug yet.

Meanwhile Scarlett felt like she was in Heaven. 'Oh God I love this bird!' "Blu, can I tell you something?"

'This sounds very familiar, I should really ask Jewel what that question was about' "Go on Scarlett."

"I love you too Blu, with everything I have." She leaned in and kissed him again with just as much passion as the first time.

"I could get used to that." He said dreamily.

Pedro, finally on his way back from the club, landed on a branch outside of the hollow as they broke the kiss. "Hello you two. Have you seen Nico?"

Blu, incapacitated from the kiss, stood there with half closed eyes. Scarlett looked at Pedro "Actually he was here a while ago; Jewel flew off for some reason and Nico followed her. They went that way." She pointed towards the tree line.

"Thanks Scarlett, hey is Blu ok?"

"He's perfect..."

"O-kay, well I'll see you birds later, tell Blu I said bye." He flew off leaving the two birds alone again.

Blu turned to Scarlett. "How would you like to make this night a little more special hm?" He said mischievously.

"I'd love it."

A.N. Done! Well that's basically a double cliff-hanger, will Jewel live? Will Blu and Scarlett complete their bonding? Is Pedro as stupid as he seems? And if you're wondering how all this developed between Blu and Scarlett, well you will have to stay tuned to find out. As for the poll, it is being closed due to under use. YOUR opinion matters so make sure to review and tell me what you think! Thanks again to all my reviewers.

Read, Review, Enjoy!
