The morning sunlight peeked through my eyes interrupting my dreams. I slowly woke and rubbed my eyes. I stood up and ruffled my feathers a little bit. I looked over to Pedro's nest and saw that Nico was still sleeping and Pedro was gone. I wonder where Pedro went? Oh well, he probably wondered off to find breakfast. I hopped out of the nest and decided to find some berries to eat. I flew to a nearby berry tree and started eating the delicious berries. I was about to pick I nice berry when I heard a rustle from behind me. I turned around and saw nothing. I shrugged and returned my attention to the berry that I so desperately wanted to eat, only to find it wasn't there. what the? I thought to myself. I looked down to see if it fell but I didn't see it. I felt a feather touch my shoulder and stiffened up. I slowly turned around and saw none other then, Nico smirking while eating my berry.
"Enjoying my berry?" I fake glared at him but ended up smiling anyway.
"Very much so, thank you." He mischievously grinned at me. I rolled my eyes.
"So what's on the agenda for the day?" I ate another berry.
"Theres no agenda, just a list of things to do." He smirked again.
"You know what I mean." I shook my head and softly grinned at him.
"Well when Pedro gets back, we're going back to the Samba Club." I stared at him confused.
"Again? Isn't there some place you wanna show me?"
"Well you saw most of Rio yesterday and I am excited to see you perform." he flashed his perfect smile at me once again. I froze.
"You want me to sing? In front of everyone? No way! That's not happening." I shook me head. There was no way I could do that without passing out.
"Oh come on, you seemed comfortable yesterday?"
"Yeah, but I wasn't singing! I can't sing anyways. Besides im perfectly happy talking to Rafael and watching you guys sing." I nervously cocked my head to the side hoping I won.
"Fine." He fake sighed, slumped his shoulders, and turned away. I rolled my eyes again. If he was going to act like a baby, then I was going to treat him like one.
"Now you should know not to whine. You're never going to get anywhere in life if you keep whining." I said in a mother-like tone. He stared at me as if I was insane. I sweetly smiled.
"Don't do that." He chuckled. Out of no where, Pedro flew in really fast landing right next to me. The sudden surprise and the shaking of the branch caused me to become unbalanced. I began to fall but was saved my Nico. He laughed.
"Careful with this one, Pedro, she seems to be a little unbalanced." They both laughed and they did a credulous rein action of the scene. I glared at them for a second but something washed over me and I laughed too.
When we got to the Samba club, the first thing I saw was Rafael, Blu, Jewel, and the 'Mini-Macaws'. Nico and Pedro beamed at the sight of them.
"You guys came!" Nico flapped up and down.
"Yes, the kids were begging us to come. Are you guys going to perform?" Jewel asked.
"Yep! You three should perform with us." Pedro looked at the 'Mini-Macaws'.
"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Can we, Can we, Can we?" They jumped up and down in front of Blu and Jewel. Blu looked at Jewel who shrugged and nodded.
"Sure, if you want?" Blu said and everyone chirped in excitement. As Nico, Pedro, and the 'Mini-Macaws' decided on a appropriate song to perform, me, Rafael, Blu, and Jewel were enjoying each other's company. Before we knew it, we were laughing and joking around almost as if we've known each other for years. We had even more fun watching Nico, Pedro, and the 'Mini-Macaws' perform their song. Everyone was having the time of their lives. I was watching Blu and Jewel dance when I heard someone behind me.
"Having fun?" Nico's voice sent a prickly feeling through me. I turned and around and saw him flirtatiously smiling at me. "Care to dance?" He held out his wing for me to take. I couldn't breathe. Was he really asking me to dance? My heart started to fly as I slowly moved my wing to take his. I was just about to take it when I got interrupted by a bright light. I turned to see the tarp to the club open up and a bird stood there. My eyes widened. This bird was a Yellow Canary like me and Nico only she was beautiful! She had to be one of the prettiest birds I've ever seen. She had bright yellow feathers that added a glowing look to her. Her ocean blue eyes sparkled under the lights in the club. She smiled and her perfect white teeth glistened. Some guys fainted as she walked by.
I glanced at Nico who seemed to be smiling. The beauty walked straight up to Nico. Then he did something that made my mouth drop. He spun her around and dipped her as if they were doing some kind of Tango.
"Nico! Its so good to see you again!" Even her soprano voice was perfect. He tilted her back up.
"You too Brittany! Wow, it seems you get more and more beautiful every time I see you. Promise me you'll never go on such a long vacation again!" Nico hummed. The two gazed at each other. I awkwardly cleared my throat.
"Oh uh this is Tori, she's a new bird from America. Me and Pedro have been helping her out." Nico flickered his eyes to me for not even a second and returned his attention to Brittany. "Tori, this is my girlfriend, Brittany." Nico grinned. Girlfriend? My heart must've dropped to the floor.
"Its nice to meet you." I mumbled and looked down at the floor where my heart was crushed.
"You too, Tori." Brittany smiled sweetly. "So if you're from America, then where are you staying?"
"She slept in my nest last night." Nico scratched his head awkwardly.
"Oh" Was all Brittany could say. I had a feeling she didn't approve of that.
"Uh she didn't sleep with me, I uh, I crashed with Pedro." Nico said in a uncomfortable tone.
"I see." She narrowed her eyes at me. I nervously smiled. "So Nico, you wanna dance?" She battered her eyes at him. He nodded happily.
"Hold on, I'll be right back." He said as he flew away. I sighed. The awkward silence was killing me.
"So how long have you and Nico been together?" I tried to sound happy.
"Two years!" Brittany snapped. I drew back.
"Look I didn't mean to sound nosy, I was just wondering." I stumbled.
"No, you look, Nico loves me and he always will. And there's no way some American can take him away from me, so don't even try." She snarled. I stared in shock. Before I could say anything Nico returned.
"Ready?" He flashed a bright smile. She smiled at him and he took her wing and led her to dance. They wrapped their wings around each other as a slow song began to play. Over Nico's shoulder, Brittany smirked at me and mouthed 'he's mine'. Tears began to well up in my eyes but I quickly blinked them back. I couldn't stand looking at them any longer so I finally regained myself and slumped over to Rafael and Pedro.
"Everything okay?" Rafael asked.
"Uh yeah! Why wouldn't it be?" I gave them my most realistic smile yet. They must've bought it because they just shrugged.
"I see Nico has been reunited with his girlfriend." I glanced over at the two love-birds who were laughing at something.
"Brittany's back?" Pedro muttered. I nodded.
"You don't seem to happy about it?" I said as he slumped is shoulders.
"Im not! Brittany hates me, she thinks im taking Nico away from her. As long as she's around, I can't hang out with Nico. Neither can Rafael, Blu, the 'Mini-Macaws', or Jewel. Especially Jewel! Brittany gets furious when other girl birds are hanging with Nico. Im sure she yelled at you huh?" Pedro explained. I sighed and nodded again.
"Why is Nico with her if she's so mean?" I asked.
"He says 'she's the most beautiful bird in all of Rio and he's the luckiest bird in the world.' he's clueless and has no idea how mean she is to us." Rafael sighed. "He always gets too mesmerized by her beauty. Don't get me wrong, she's a beautiful bird, but she's rude, unkind, uncaring, and hateful. The only one she's nice to is Nico, and everyone who's not us, or trying to get Nico." He shook his head.
"Speak of the devil." Pedro muttered as Nico and Brittany walked over to us. Rafael and Pedro both fake smiled. "Hey Brittany."
"Hi guys." She said sweetly. "Im about to perform, you guys gonna watch?"
"Yup." Pedro sighed. She pecked Nico on the cheek and strutted to the stage.
"Now its time for the most beautiful bird in all of Rio, Brittany!" An announcer shouted as the club busted into cheers. Nico was the cheering the loudest.
I'm too cool for my dress these shades don't leave my head

And they got it all
While others have to try all their lives

When she was done with her song everyone cheered louder and Nico flew up to her a hugged her. Watching them embrace was just too much for me. I slipped out of the club unnoticed and sat on a crate of food. I stared at the sun that casted a beautiful sensation over Rio. I sighed. I can't believe I've been so stupid. He has a girlfriend, I need to stop thinking about him. But how can I? I wished there was someway- I was interrupted when Rafael sat next to me and ruined my thoughts.
"Hey, are you okay? You seem kinda down?" he asked softly.
"Yeah im fine, I just wanted to see the sunset." I slyly laughed.
"Are you sure?" He asked again. I smiled and nodded. "Well then let's go and have some fun." Rafael stood up and offered me his wing. I smiled and took it and he helped me up. We flew back to the beautiful lights, the beautiful music, the beautiful dancing, and the beautiful Brittany.
The song is called Too Cool from Camp rock. I just thought it kinda fit Brittany. haha Review!:)
