Chapter 2: Clubbing

(Azure's P.O.V.)

The flight to The Cliff wasn't too bad, except my mind was still on what Wolf had done in the hollow, and this made me keep blushing, and I couldn't stop. I had managed to avoid eye contact from everyone else, and I was surprisingly succeeding. Mother and father were talking, Beck seemed to be giving me and Wolf the cold shoulder, and I just didn't want to look at Wolf until I spoke again with mother. Does he know what he did is… suggestive? Did dad say something that made him more interested in me? Does he know how to give hints, or if he even did? I know Wolf wasn't always a bird, but he seems to spend most of his time as a bird.

I decided I would risk it, and when I took a glance at Wolf, I couldn't look away; his eyes were closed, the way the wind shifted his feathers made them seem like an ocean, and the smile he had… *sigh* How did I get so lucky as to meet Wolf…?

Wolf slowly opened his eyes, and as he turned to look at me, I quickly snapped it the other way, and felt my face warm up. The way he is, it is like no other bird I have ever seen before. *sigh* only if I could read his mind to know how he feels… I was so caught up in my thoughts, I didn't notice my name being called until I heard Wolf shout, "AZURE!" and I felt someone push me out of the way. A loud noise sounded from behind me, and as I hovered, I flew back, and when I looked around the tree I didn't notice before; I saw Wolf lying sprawled over a branch near the trunk.

He was slowly standing up, but when he made it to his feet, he fell back down onto the branch. Flying towards him, I saw a small amount of blood on his right wing, making me grow worried. When I landed, I quickly ran up to him, and struggled to lift him up until he was sitting up, and looking at me. He quickly gazed into my eyes, and he chuckled. I could feel confusion spread over my face, and as I heard three more birds land behind me, I could hear a gasp from someone, and I heard Wolf say, "A…Azure… y-you got to l-look out for them trees n… next time. Ha, or I will need to crash everyday f-for you." I felt a larger bird walk up next to me, and I heard dad ask, "Can you fly Wolf?"

Watching as he turned his head towards his wing, he sighed, and looked back at dad. He shook his head and said, "No… I will just walk the run the rest of the way…" I glanced up at father, and as he looked back down at me, I heard a soft scratching noise, and we turned back and saw Wolf standing. As he spread his wings, I could see him wince, and he jumped off the branch. I rushed to the edge and was about to fly after him, but then I saw him gliding down to the forest floor. I glanced back at me, and I saw dad and Beck flying into the sky, and just as mother was about to take off, I stopped her and asked, "Mom… can I talk to you as we lead Wolf to The Cliff?"

Mother looked back at me; she smiled, and then nodded. I looked back at Wolf, who was halfway to the ground, and I said, "Wolf did something in the hollow I don't know how to react to… he gave me a hint…" I looked back over, and my mother's regular smile turned into one full of mischief.

(Wolf's P.O.V.)

When I reached the ground, I shifted myself into a wolf, and tested my weight on my frontal right leg, and the pain was there, but not to where I couldn't run. I glanced back up and saw Reilla and Azure gliding down towards me, I called up and said, "I'm ready whenever you are!" I saw Reilla open her beak and say, "Go ahead dear, we will lead the way."

Uh-oh… I KNOW that tone! *shivers* Azure uses it when she's planning to do something to me… and Reilla NEVER calls me anything except my name… where's Ray and Beck! I have a bad feeling about this…

When I saw the two ladies fly in front of me, I quickly ran up and followed them. I always admired wolves because of how well adapted and acute their senses are. My ears twitched, and when I angled them around, it felt weird, but when I focused them forward, I could make out Azure and Reilla talking. I could make out a few words, "…Wolf… any… does… chicks…" CHICKS! Oh god… what are they talking about? I picked up my pace slightly more, and I hit a slight dip in the ground with my right foreleg, and I heard a yelp of surprise and pain issue from my muzzle. Damn that hurt…! Hey, at least I learned I can yelp…

Looking back up from my pained foot, I could see Azure and Reilla looking down at me with concerned and worried looks, and I called back up, "I-I'm alright!"

Azure smiled, but not a normal smile… I could feel myself shiver again, but this time I was slightly curious as to what that smile was hiding behind it. They turned back forward, and when I looked ahead, I could see a mound of branches sticking out from the ground. Recognizing it as The Cliff, I took off at a dead sprint, and I was surprised at how fast I was going; and how quietly as well. I'm like a ghost phantom running… I can't even hear myself!

Once I was closer to the hollow, I saw two blue forms enter it, and I started to slow down as soon as I was getting closer. I started to shift myself, but before I could fully shift, I felt something land on my back. Just as I changed, not only did I feel the drain in energy, but I was also pressed up against the ground, with something on my back. The weight vanished, and as I stood up, I looked down and frowned. I slowly turned around, and I could see Azure smiling next to Reilla. Soon, Reilla walked up to the entrance of the club, and I said, "You messed up my feathers…"

Azure's smile widened as I brushed myself off, removing the dirt from my feathers. I heard Azure walking up towards me, and when I looked at her, her eyes were slightly narrowed as she said, "Well, let's go dance."

When she walked past me, I felt something rubbing my lower stomach, and when I glanced down, I saw some blue tail feathers moving past me; Azure's tail feathers. Chuckling, I quickly turned, and jogged off towards the entrance with Azure. I forced myself in front of her, and stopped; causing her to walk into me. When she looked up at me, I leaned down and I whispered, "I know what you are trying to do Azure." I laughed lightly as she blushed, and looked away from me, while backing up slightly. I grabbed her lower beak with my wing and waited for her eyes to finally lock with mine again, and I continued, "And it is working slightly…" I removed my wing and planted a gentle kiss on her beak. We stayed the way for a few moments before I felt Azure pull away, and I opened my eyes to see hers still closed. I saw a smile spreading on her beak, and when she opened her eyes, I saw a spark in her eyes.

Azure slowly put her wings on my chest and left wing, and when I blinked, I felt myself fall back as Azure pushed me down onto my back. I looked up, and saw her walking towards the entrance giggling as she continued to walk away. I stood up, and quickly followed after her, and I saw her glance back at me, before she suddenly walked towards me, and grabbed my wing and pulled me forward even faster. What is up with her mood today?

When I stepped into the club, I noticed how the music that was playing was soft, yet moving at a steady beat. The air felt like it was dancing itself, the noise… or music… echoed throughout the enclosed area, amplifying the audio, and the lights sparkled off of Azure and I, casting a bluish haze… why are the lights on… now I see why…

"Welcome back Wolf, I'm glad to see you are still with Azure there! Get to the dance floor, time for some slow dancing…" A loud masculine voice had shouted out. Soon, I could feel Azure pulling me towards what I guessed was supposed to be the dance floor. I could see her smiling as she slowly turned around, and wrapped her wings around me, and stood close to me. I looked down into her eyes, and I instantly focused solely on her, and I felt like it was only me and her here.

As the music started to play, I slowly rocked both my body, to the side as I followed Azure's movements. I couldn't make out the lyrics since they were in another language, but I could slowly make out how I was supposed to dance.

Azure swung out away from me, and twirled a little bit before I pulled her back by the wing, and when she spun into my chest, I wrapped my other wing around her. As she gazed up at me, I gave her an adoring look right back at her. I twisted my wings, stifling the groan as my right wing popped, and I was holding Azure in front of me again, I leaned her back. I slowly brought her back up, and slowly, leaned my head next to hers, and I whispered, "You know Azure… even though what you did to me earlier was… interesting, it was confusing too," I spun her until her back leaning into my chest again, "but it was still enjoyable."

My wing popped again louder, and Azure looked at it as I groaned, but I removed it from her. I looked into her eyes as I pulled my wing in, and flung it out. A loud SNAP was heard, and I felt a searing pain, but relief soon enfolded my body. I wrapped it back around her and brought her close to me again. The concerned look in her eyes made me chuckle, and I whispered, "I will only be alright if u will dance for me Azure," I kissed her lightly and quickly, and when I pulled back I said, "So dance with me."

(Ray's P.O.V.)

Is he alright? The surprise and horror I had just witnessed shocked me. I looked around, and saw a few birds looking at Wolf, but most of them were looking around for the noise. I had heard a few popping noises, and apparently so had a few of the dancers near Azure and Wolf, but when he snapped his wing back into place, that's when some of them noticed it was him. I quickly relaxed when I noticed he was dancing with Azure again, and this time it seemed smoother. Every so often, I would notice him talking to her as they danced, but they danced more than not.

The song seemed to be ending, and as I looked over, I noticed Beck talking with a few of her friends, but they also were looking towards Azure and Wolf. I looked to my other side, and wrapped my wing around my starlight known as Reilla. She was the perfect mate anyone could ask for, and I know she was making life harder for Wolf with those hints she was giving Azure, but she didn't know I had my own tips for Wolf. I had stuck back and watched as Azure… my little girl Azure… flirted with Wolf in the most out-going way, I knew it had to be her mothers work, and not her own.

While the song was playing its last few moments, I noticed Wolf was leaning down to Azure, and Azure was stretching her neck upwards. As the last strumming of the song ended, Azure and Wolf's beaks pressed into each other's, and a thunderous applause and a roaring cheering filled The Cliff. I saw the feathers on Azure's and Wolf's cheeks rise as the visibly blushed, but instead of separating, they seemed to press into each other more. I smiled as my Azure… WOLF'S Azure expressed her love to the one that has protected her through countless times…

…

(Nico's P.O.V.)

A tremor rolled through my body, and I could've sworn I felt like a huge cheering has just broken my record. I lifted my head dramatically from the tabletop I was resting on at the Next Level, and Pedro instantly looked at me. "Yo bird, what's up with you? It hasn't been even five minutes yet."

As I turned and looked at Pedro with a vacant, distant look in my eyes, all I could say was, "My samba senses are tingling…"

…

(I just HAD to do that! XD)

…

(Wolf's P.O.V.)

When we finally pulled away from the kiss, I leaned the bridge of my beak against Azure's, and gazed into her rich green eyes, which seemed to shine even more in the light on the dance floor. We were aware of all the cheering around us, since we were blushing, but I said, "As much as I would LOVE to dance with you again, my wing is sore. Want to go sit down and just talk for a while?"

Azure shook her head, and instead grabbed my wing and pulled us off to the side as she was smiling. The cheering died down as another, faster song started to play, and that made it where not many birds paid Azure and I that much attention. I noticed a glass bottle ahead, and I saw what resembled an eagle on the front over a label. I wasn't too sure why that was here… but I'm pretty sure I know what it is. Azure pulled me up to it, and when she looked at me, she smiled sweetly, and gestured for me to follow her around it.

As I came around the other side, I gasped at what I saw… a bar, but bird sized. I couldn't believe my eyes until I felt Azure pull me forward. I stepped forward until I was in front of a Sun canure that seemed to be a bit aged, but extremely fit. When it noticed us, I was surprised when I heard HER voice ask, "Hey Azure, what you doing back here?"

Azure seemed to shrink slightly, but beamed happily. She gestured at me, and asked, "Can you give us two drinks?" I didn't know what it was, but Azure made a strange symbol with her talon as she raised it, but she said, "For him." The bar tender smiled at me, and giggled slightly to herself. Is every female macaw out to get me or something?

I sat down near a table with Azure, and soon I noticed how she seemed excited, yet nothing was happening. I leaned over and asked, "What are you planning Azure?"

She gave me a confused smile and asked, "What do you mean?"

After she said that, I closed my eyes and chuckled. When I reopened them, I looked at her and said, "You seem like this is your first time back here."

Her eyes seemed to shift slightly, and she said, "It is…" shocked, I stared at her before she said, "Mom and dad wouldn't let me come back here unless I had a date." and she smiled as she looked at me.

The bartender showed up and set some drinks down in front of us. I looked down in front of me, and she said, "Just to let you know, you're supposed to drink it quick, or it won't taste so good. Azure, I found some juicy blackberries today, so you are in luck." As she finished telling that to Azure, she walked away, and passed some military macaws on her way back to the counter.

Looking back at Azure, I asked, "How do you know her?"

"She used to babysit for me…"

Nodding, I reached down and brought my drink to my beak; as I smelled it, it resembled something around fruit punch mixed with oranges. I shrugged, and quickly chugged it down how the bartender said, and I was hit with a flavor blast that quite literally knocked me on my back. I heard Azure giggling, and I saw her slowly lean over the table and down at me. I chuckled as I stood back up, albeit wobbly, and sat back down. I watched as Azure slowly sipped her drink, and I heard a pair of shuffling talons behind us.

"There you two are… are you ready to head home?"

I turned around and saw Beck standing in the entranceway, and I felt Azure grab my wing as she started walking forward, she said, "Yes, we will meet you outside the tunnel." I saw Beck nod, and she quickly disappeared. We started to walk back after her, but suddenly the sun canure was back in front of us, and she was holding another drink out for me. "Here, this one is on the house."

"Why, thank you very m-much." As I slowly took the cup, I chugged it like the last one, and I thought I saw her wink at Azure through the corner of my eye. This one tasted a bit sourer than the last one, but it still tasted great. I handed the cup back to her, and I heard Azure say, "Thank you… have a good night."

When she spoke, I looked at her, and had a sudden urge to just say something. I tried to fight it, but I eventually lost, and I said, "Azure… you are SO gorgeous!" I chuckled when I finished, and slightly tilted to my right. What… what is w-w-wrong with m-me? I should b-be able to wa…lk perf-fectly…

We finally reached the exit, and I couldn't help but shiver as a light cold breeze. I reached over, and grabbed Azure by the hips, and pulled her closer to me as we continued to walk up to her family. When I looked up at Ray, I said, "T-That f-f-f… f-fruit punch stuff t-taste greattt dad!"

I felt Azure shiver when Ray looked at her, and as he asked, "What did he drink Azure…?"

Bringing my wing higher, I pulled her closer to me, and I asked, "W-Why can't I s-s-speak… n-norm… al?" I couldn't help but feel like fuzziness was slowly engulfing my mind, and when Reilla sighed, everyone except Azure looked at her. She looked up at Ray and said, "This is my fault dear… sorry."

"Sorry? S-Sorry for wha-at?" I asked.

"…"

"Ohhh… n-now I-I-I know w-why…" *sigh* "w-well… let me go d-deal w-w-with myself real f-f-f-fast…" I unwrapped my wing from around Azure, and stumble off near a tree. I walked around behind it, and I focused my thoughts on the dirtiest thing I could… then I imagined me eating it. I felt a gag come up, and I forced myself to imagine the smell of a landfill. OOMMPPHH! That did it!

My stomach emptied its contents, and I immediately felt like a cloud has left my mind. I waited a few moments before I pushed myself away from the tree, and I took a few steps back. I took a deep breath in, and exhaled slowly. I started to walk around the tree, but I noticed Ray standing right around the side holding a leaf with some liquid in it. "Here is some water son… I don't know what you will do, but it will most certainly help."

"T-Thanks dad." I took the leaf cup; I looked down at the water. I swirled it around a bit before I took a small sip, and swished it around my beak. Grabbing onto the tree, I leaned over, and spit it out so Ray wouldn't need to see. When I pulled my head back out, I drank the rest of it, and threw the empty leaf down. I glanced back up at Ray and said, "The last time I got drunk, I didn't have people who cared to help me… thanks again dad."

Ray smiled down at me, and as he turned around, I walked back with him, and I noticed Beck was standing next to Reilla, and Azure was standing a bit away, with her head drooped down. While Ray walked over to Reilla, I said, "When you take off, I will be ready." And then I continued over to Azure. She turned away from me when I was closer to her, and her back was pointed towards me.

Sighing, I reached my wings around to her chest, and pulled her back until she was pressed up against me. I lowered my head until it was resting on her shoulder, and I said, "I love you Azure… even if you got me drunk. Now come on, we must fly back to your parents' home." I felt Azure shudder, and I turned her around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"… I… Can…" I heard her sigh, and then she shook her head. The sadness I felt radiating from her hit me in the core, and I asked, "Do you want to just find another hollow to share with me tonight?"

Magic words! Azure suddenly perked up, and nodded. I sighed, and as I looked behind us, I noticed that her family had already taken flight. I turned back around and said, "We had better catch up before they worry."

I turned around, and flew upwards, with Azure close at my side. We were flying at a steady pace, and we could soon make out the blue bodies of her family flying ahead. I looked at them all, and noticed how they all seemed to be talking with one another. I slowly tilted over, and I was soon wingtip to wingtip with Azure. I looked over and said, "When we reach them, I'm going to talk to dad and let him know our plan, ok?"

Azure nodded, and I sped up until I was next to Ray. When he looked over at me, I stated, "Azure and I are going to find a hollow of our own tonight. I will make sure it is close to yours enough so that you can find us though." I waited for him to nod, and when he did, I flared my wings slightly, and I went back until I was near Azure again, who appeared to be in deep thought. When I flew underneath her, she didn't seem to realize, so I slowly rose up until I was touching he stomach. She didn't seem to notice, but I could slowly feel her weight increasing on me. While in deep thought, her wings just seemed to finally rest on mine as I continued to flap. I chuckled silently as I realized I was giving Azure a ride, when I wasn't that much bigger than her.

A weird pressure between my shoulder blades made me look at Azure, and I could see she was laying her head there, and seemed to be sleeping. I grinned as I slowly sped up until I was near Ray again. I flew above him and lowered my head so I could whisper, "Hey dad… look at my back."

I flew off to the side of him, and lowered my altitude, and when I saw Rays head look at me, I saw a smile curl on his beak, and he soon drifted over to the others. Soon, Beck and Reilla were both flying by my side, and I could see the amused faces they both had… and the envious look in Becks eyes. I chuckled again, and looked at my back again; Azure was peacefully sleeping with her head on my back, and her wings were lying on top of mine, and every time I flapped, they did as well. Azure's face not only looked adorable, but it was all because I felt like messing with her in flight. I guess that flight all the way back here was more tiring to her than I thought…

After they had finished observing me and Azure, Beck reluctantly flew back over to Ray, and Reilla flew away also, mumbling 'how cute' Azure was as she slept on my back. I noticed how Ray slowly started to descend, but I kept to the air, and I looked around in what light was left. I saw a hole in the side of the tree, but as I flew by, I saw a pair of Scarlet macaws sleeping in it, so I knew it was taken. I angled off towards Azure's parents' tree, and I passed it, and noticed a few trees away another hollow. I swooped by it, and didn't see anything in it, so I made another loop.

Slowly, I came down and reduced my speed, and I came towards the empty tree. I needed to do this perfectly, because not only would I hurt myself, but I would hurt Azure, and wake her up. I shifted angles, and entered the hollow, but with my belly to the floor, and when I landed, I sighed in relief, and looked around. All I saw was a few large green leaves scattered over the floor. I slowly walked forward, and used a few of the leaves to make a mat on the ground, and then I closed my wings.

Slowly, yet carefully, I grabbed Azure's wings, and pulled her off of my back until I was holding her in my wings. He wings were folded back to her body again, and her beak seemed to be snuggling into my feathers. I lowered myself onto the mat I had improvised, and laid Azure across it gently. I walked back over, and folded a few of the leaves multiple times before I laid them across the entrance, keeping the warmth in the hollow.

I walked back to Azure, and lowered myself next to her, and wrapped my wings over her, and when I felt her nuzzle into my body, I smiled, and got an idea. I lowered my beak down to her neck, and slowly lowered it to her skin, and gently bit repeatedly around her neck, and I could slowly hear her starting to do that cooing noise. It is like getting a cat to purr… HA! I removed my beak, and heard Azure groan, but then I put it back in on the other side of her neck, and started to do it again. I could literally feel her cooing through my beak. I did this for what I could estimate around five minutes, and when I stopped, Azure lifted her head off my chest, and seemed to puff out her feathers.

Am I still drunk? I don't even know how I got here! I was lying on my back on the mat, and I could feel my throat vibrating as I enjoyed the most amazing feeling ever. It felt like someone was using something to gently shock my neck, but tenderly, with a wave of electricity. I looked down, and noticed Azure was on top of me, aggressively preening my feathers in the same way I did to hers. I felt my throat suddenly jump an octave, and I noticed something new… I was cooing. I can see why Azure liked it so much now, but I never knew she would ever act aggressive, even in something like this. "Ahhh… A… Azure. That feels amazing…"

Azure removed her beak from my feathers before she looked down into my eyes and said, "I know… and you were doing it to me forever…" I chuckled, but I tensed up when she did it again, it was pleasurable, yet an unexpected sensation that came from my neck…

(Blu's P.O.V.)

I looked at Jewel, and did my best not to faint. I had made a promise today that I would do anything to make her happy today, since she had seemed too sad. Little did I know at the time, she was faking, and now I was going to be forced to finally give her something she craved for the past three weeks… to have chicks. I wonder if that thing Wolf showed me can help me now…

Being the scared timid bird I am, I hadn't tried this tip yet, and so I decided now would be the time, even if it only gave me a day to remain… not even I have a word to use. I looked at Jewel, who was staring back at me; I slowly walked forward, and gulped when I saw her smiling at me. She giggled, and as I lowered my head, she pulled me into a deep kiss, and said, "Thank you Blu…"

I grabbed Jewel with my wings, and slowly lowered my beak some more, but I stopped above her shoulder, and did what Wolf had said. Jewel dropped like a rock as soon as nipped her neck, and I felt myself panicking, until I saw the rise and fall of her chest, and the smile plastered on her beak. *sigh* well… one more night of safety… I picked Jewel up, and carried her over to our nest, and set her down in it, and sat down next to her also. When I wrapped my wing around her shoulder, I yawned, and settled my head down.

I was just starting to drift off to sleep, with my fears temporarily being held off. Suddenly, I heard, "Tomorrow I want chicks Blu." Jewel said.

OH GAWD!

(3rd Person P.O.V.)

And as jewel slowly fell asleep, she had no idea how she had scared Blu so badly, that he fainted on the spot… sleep well Blu… XD

A.N.: Finished… chappie two with over 5k words as well… I am SO tired… and it is Friday night… well, you can thank EmmerzK for this extensively long chapter. Read her stories, they are BOMB TASTIC! She gave me two reviews, and that was a huge boost of inspiration… I have been working for!6! hours on this chapter… lol… well, read and review R&R!

A.N.2: who laughed during the "samba senses" thing… I ROLF'ed when I reread it!

A.N.3: that part where Azure preened his feathers aggressively, I forgot who's story it was, but Jewel was in a cast when she did that to Blu, so if you know who made that story, or if you're reading it, sorry… just modified it to not be a complete steal.
