"Joseph?" wondered Blu, looking around. "Is there another Hyacinth Macaw here?"
Xavier dropped his confused expression. He stared at Flor.
"No one has called me that for over a year."
Blu, Jewel, and Pedro looked at Xavier with astonished glances.
"Xavier?" wondered Jewel.
Xavier chuckled.
"Isn't your name Xavier, not Joseph?" questioned Blu.
"You should know that the aides name the birds they found to their own decision, Blu."
Blu thought about it. He knew that Xavier was right, but something still didn't make any sense.
"If Joseph was your real name, why didn't you tell us? We've been calling Xavier. Doesn't that offend you?"
"I like the name Xavier. It's more exotic name than Joseph, don't you think?"
"I guess…but what about all the birds that know you?"
"Only a few do. Not that popular I guess."
"But you could've told at least Nico and me. We've been friends."
"Only for nine months, Pedro. As I said, I like the name Xavier. I didn't feel like being called Jospeh."
"Now, you said that the aides named you," started Blu. "Xavier, if you haven't gone by your real name for over year, just how long have you been in the sanctuary?"
Xavier suddenly smiled at Flor.
"Now I remember. You're Flor, right? It's been away, my flourishing Flor."
Everyone looked back at Flor.
"Flor, how do you know Xavier?" asked Jewel.
Flor sighed.
"He was my boyfriend."
Blu and Jewel gasped.
"What? Flor, how can you even go out with a guy like this?"
"That's easy," smirked Xavier. "I'm just that charming."
Flor shook her head and narrowed her eyes.
"I was naïve. You seemed like a nice guy, Joseph, but I was wrong. Joseph, why? Why did you lie about our love?"
"As I said Flor, I wouldn't call it love."
Tears formed in Flor's eyes.
"How can you say that? Didn't you care about me?"
Xavier sighed.
"Of course I did."
"Then why did you cheat on me!"
Xavier grew silent.
"I-I moved on from that."
"Not to be rude or anything, but I'm confused."
Xavier and Flor turned towards Blu. Jewel elbowed him.
"I'm sorry. Blu sometimes can get nosy."
Flor shook her head.
"It's alright. I've kept my own secrets. Blu, I told you I was always alone before I met you. Well, he's the reason why."
"Oh, c'mon. Listen, it ain't my fault if you didn't want to talk to anyone. You should've moved on."
"How could I?" cried Flor. "You broke my heart. That pain doesn't go away easily, Joseph!"
Blu examined Flor, who was crying out a few teardrops. He now understood why she approached him. She probably thought that her own kind would be a more suitable mate. She didn't find anyone though. A completely blue bird was rare in Rio. That day they met, she confronted Blu, hoping he was a Hyacinth Macaw, only to discover he was a Spix's Macaw. Probably not wanting to be rude, she continued to talk to him and found him enjoyable to be around him. Wanting to not let go of that feeling, she decided to help Blu, even though they had barely met. Now Blu understood Flor's reasoning.
"What did that green bird have that I didn't?"
"You really want an answer for that?"
Flor shook in rage and curled her right wing in a fist.
"Damn you. Damn you, Joseph!"
Joseph exhaled out a heavy breath.
"I know. I'm sorry. It was just that I wasn't ready. But I should tell you something. After you caught me in the act, I went out looking for. I searched in the jungle for you. I felt bad. But then I got injured and got taken to the sanctuary. Flor, you saw me on the floor after I hit myself on that cliff, but you didn't help. You saw me fall and hit the branches as I fell, but you didn't help me."
It came back to Flor. Upon returning to the den, she found Joseph humping another bird. After a horrid and pitiful explanation of Joseph moving on, she left in tears. Joseph then left in search of her. He soon found Flor, but she was stubborn. She took off, and Joseph gave chase. He followed her to a cliff's wall. Something then happened. Joseph crashed into the wall as she made a sharp turn up. It was probably too quick for Joseph. Most likely, he was too focused on her that he misjudged the wall's distance from him. She heard the smack of something hitting the wall. She looked around and saw Joseph wasn't in sight. She didn't bother to look for Joseph out of pure angry and took off.
"I didn't exactly see you."
"But you didn't even bother to try to find me."
Flor grew quiet and looked down.
"You're right. B-But you made me so mad…"
"It doesn't matter, Flor. As I said, I moved on. I was in the sanctuary for three months. When they gave me my new name, it was a way for me to start all over again. To just forget about the past and move on… Just never expected to see you again, Flor."
Xavier frowned a bit.
"But the past is the past. Nothing matters."
Flor wiped the tears out of her eyes.
"How can you say that?" questioned Blu. "How can you say that nothing matters when you were together?"
"Just things pop up. I did love Flor, but I didn't what a commitment."
Blu shook with rage.
"So you play with your heart? You're so cruel."
"She left me for dead if that Tulio guy didn't come around."
"It's your fault! You're the one that cheated."
Xavier smirked.
"I did, and I admit it, but at least, I'm open about it. Not like a certain blue bird I know."
"What do you mean?"
Blu thought about it and then remembered.
"Jewel told me everything, Xavier; about you spying on us after that storm. I didn't cheat on Jewel. I promised. Even Flor knows I didn't cheat on her."
Xavier groaned.
"I'm not taking about you."
Xavier seductively looked at Jewel.
"So you didn't tell him?"
"About what?" asked Blu, facing Jewel. "What don't I know?"
"Tell him Jewel. Tell him about our first kiss."
