Adapting to a new life. Chapter 12 ( Bruh )
It wouldn't be for an half a hour or so until Blu and Jewel landed with Joe confused about where they were taking him. Any time during the flight when Joe asked were was their destination they both would just either ignore him or say 'Wait'. Once they did land there was a Red and yellow cloth hanging off a small box in front of them but distance music could be heard coming from behind it.
"Now will you please tell me where we are?" Joe asked while extending both wings in front of him.
Carla, Bia and Tiago then ran off and disappeared behind the cloth, Blu was the first one to talk but not only did he not answer Joe's question it left him even more confused and vigilant.
"We need to waste time and all-sorts of birds from the city and forest come here! come on." Blu said while walking off into the cloth and beyond followed by Jewel who hopped her way in.
Joe stood there for a moment analysing his surroundings, he started to slowly tip toe towards the entrance to what ever it was while stopping every time he thought he heard something behind him. He then started to hear People singing and yelling with eachother, a gulping noise came from Joe as he swallowed it back and barged on in. Once inside his was greeted with flashing lights all around him, Hordes of dancing birds of every type, A chubby red-crest Cardinal belly flopping a more skinnier yellow canary who had a weird bottle cap on his head finally he noticed something that was similar to a 'bar'...a packed out bar to be exact. He was astonished by how resourceful other birds could be heck all he ever did that productive was make a make-shift pole but while he was still taking everything in he was nudged by Toucan who waved a drink at him tempting him to take it.
"No thank you." Joe turned down the offer.
The toucan just shrugged his shoulders before running over to Blu and everyone else, Joe also walked over to them.
"Hey!, so what do you think of this place?." Blu asked.
"Well...I'm actually amazed that any of you's could do anything like this!, you've even managed to get juice." Joe responded while pointing over towards the bar.
"Yea, that's not juice by the way." Jewel got involved.
"Yea as much as I like this place I'm sort of not the partying type of Bird so I'm just going to get some water or something and sit down for a while if that's okay.?" Joe said.
I thought that you would be eager to dance the day away!, but I guess that's okay." Blu answered.
Joe then walked away from the group and headed over towards the bar to get something to clinch his first on his way over he started to think were his Dan could actually be?. Once he arrived he sat on one of the tall spinney chairs and called over the bartender.
"What will it be today?." The bartender asked.
"Aye, give me some water, I haven't had a good drink in some time." Joe responded.
"Okay, two minutes." The bartender said while walking behind a crate.
While Joe waited he turned his head over towards the dance floor to see Blu and everyone else dancing like there was no tomorrow, Tiago and his other siblings were chasing each other and the Canary & Cardinal dancing above everyone else on top of a huge speaker.
"Right now lets see, were could Dan be at? I mean if he's not in the hotel he would be...at the beach? no he complains about people getting sand all over him too much...what about the huge Jesus statue?...Maybe...But what if.." Joe was about to finish but was interrupted.
"Hey I thought I would never see you again!, how did you escape?" A familiar female voice echoed around him.
Joe turned around to see someone he thought would never see again...Katie...but she was a bit different her attitude was more confident and happier compared to when he first met her in that thief's home. Then he remembered that she was annoying back then so he thought she would still be..
"For F**k sake." He thought to himself before greeting her.
"Hi!, long time no seen." Joe greeted.
"Wanna come and dance with me?." She said.
"Umm, I would but I am...am...with my friends?..yea I'm with my friends." Joe quickly said.
"I don't think they would mind if you were 'Pre occupied' for a couple of minutes, I'll tell you what ill go see if I can make a request then we'll both rock this place to the ground!." Katie said as she began to walk towards the Owners.
"WHY!." Joe said to himself as he wing-palmed himself.
"Hey here's your water." The bartender said.
"No actually give me the strongest thing you've got! I need to go." Joe yelled.
"Fine, Jeez calm down." The bartender responded as he walked towards a barrel.
While Joe was waiting he heard two other birds on his right talking about a recent event...
"So did you hear about what happened today?." He heard.
"Yea about that crazy human called Ashley being arrested?." The other one said.
"Yep, apparently a foreigner was their also complaining that she stole his bird."
Joe immediately though of Dan as they said that last sentence, He looked over to see Katie talking to Blu, Jewel and the two owners while pointing at Him. Blu winked at Joe causing him to get nervous. He then heard a glass being placed next to him it was fairly small but usually smaller means better and without thinking about Joe took it like a shot and started to leave via the cloth.
"Where's he going?." Blu asked everyone.
"I don't know but he's going to get lost again." Jewel answered while flying after him, followed by Blu, Tiago, Bia and Carla. Leaving behind Katie and the others.
"Oh Joe, your not getting away that easy!." Katie shouted as she also followed behind at a more faster pace.
Once they all got out they started to look around for any trace of were Joe might be suddenly Bia spotted him flying towards the 'Christ the redeemer' Statue. Everyone then began to wonder why he was heading other that way before.
"He's going to Ashely's house!" Katie shouted.
"Who?." Blu asked.
"Agh, Just follow me." Katie said while taking to the sky's with everyone else following behind.
Joe on the other hand was full of adrenalin by the thought of seeing his owner again, he flew even faster and faster towards Ashely's house unknown that he was being followed. After a couple of minutes he reached the favelas meaning that he was close by.
"Just hold on were going home!." Joe said to himself while hiccupping
Although he had only taken one drink it was the strongest that they had and since Joe began to fly away the alcohol began to kick in now he was sort of drunk as this stage... His eyes began half open and he kept grinning, staring at any thing that moved. His hiccupping started to become more frequent as his vision also blurred a bit.
"DaN,...You Bett...Better stil be there." Joe shouted out loud.
Suddenly just as he was around the corner he saw police signs and lights still flashing.
"Yepaaaaa." Joe yelled alerting...people of his presence.
Just as he was near the end of the favelas he started to descend, becoming dangerously close to the roof tops. Suddenly a pair of muscular hands gripped onto Joes talons, stopping him in mid flight and dragged him to the ground, forcing a roll of duck tape around his wings and body so he couldn't move.
"Cad ?, a fháil amach dom tú a hobo!." Joe screeched in Irish as a blind fold went over his eyes.
