Blu and Flor had arrived to the street Flor had last seen Jewel. Blu sighed.

"Oh, I've really done it now. She's not here."

Flor replied as she looked from side to side.

"Relax Blu. She's probably inside."

Her eyes caught something that seemed recently tossed and became trash. She faced Blu.

"Well, go inside and check. I'll wait out here."

Blu nodded.

"Okay."

Blu left Flor and walked inside the club. In the club, he noticed that there was a large group of birds gathered in the table area. The music had stopped playing, and the bartender stopped serving drinks. The large group was discussing something amongst themselves. Blu approached them.

"What's going on?"

The birds stopped and faced Blu.

"Oh, you're back," commented an Illiger's Macaw, also known as a Blue-Winged Macaw.

"Yeah," replied Blu unsurely. "I'm back. Why did the club stopped, uh, clubbing."

Blu thought about.

"Is it because what I did? Jewel, please come out. I'm sorry about what I did. I wasn't think-"

"Blu," interrupted Pedro, who was walking out of the group with Nico.

"Oh, Pedro and Nico. Uh, I'm a little confused what's going on."

"I think you'll want to sit down when you hear the news."

Blu's eyes widened. He had heard that expression before, and he knew it was always something bad. Blu stood sternly.

"That's alright Pedro," he answered in a more settle and serious voice. "Now, can you tell me where Jewel is?"

"Well, she's-" began Nico.

"She's gone," said a sobbing voice from the crowd.

Blu lifted his head towards the crowd and saw a small, green parrot walking towards him. The green parrot was identified as a Tepui Parrotlet. She looked up at Blu.

"I'm sorry."

"Why apologize? I'm at fault here."

The parrot shook her head.

"Not because of that."

She cleared her throat.

"I was walking out of the club and soon quickly hide myself in the shadows. I saw a big eagle. I don't know what kind, but I knew that it eats birds. It stood next to your girlfriend before chasing her down the street and taking her away to the jungle. I couldn't do..."

Tears dripped down her cheeks.

"I'm so sorry."

Blu looked down at the floor. Jewel, his Jewel, had been taken away by this bird of prey. Blu lifted his head and nodded at the parrot.

"Thank you for telling me."

He turned around and started walking towards the exit. Pedro and Nico faced each other briefly. They flew over Blu and landed in front of him.

"Blu," addressed Nico, "you better not do what I think you're thinking on doing."

"Out of my way, Nico."

"But Blu," started Pedro. "It's suicide."

"Pedro's right," agreed Nico. "It is most likely that Jewel is…"

Nico looked down with a saddened face.

"I know, Nico," came Blu's gentle voice, "but I believe in my heart that Jewel's still alive. I won't give up on her easily. You two know that."

Nico sighed, remembering what they heard from birds released from the sanctuary as Blu and Jewel were still in there.

"You're right," said Nico.

He looked up.

"Well, it's time to kill some bird's butt."

"Yeah," said Pedro with determination.

"I thank you for supporting me, but I can't risk losing friends when it was my fault. Besides, I don't want you to get killed. I have to do this on my own."

Pedro and Nico looked down. They had heard Blu's determined and caring voice and were not going to disregard his wishes for his friends' safety. They moved aside and let Blu pass. Nico and Pedro watched Blu disappear from view. The Yellow Canary took off his green soda cap in respect. The Red-Crested Cardinal saluted. Pedro smiled.

"Good luck, Blu."

Blu walked away from the club and walked towards the lamppost. He saw Flor leaning against the thin-sheet metal lamppost that was painted brown. She was reading a piece of paper that had been crumbled up into a ball.

"Flor?"

Flor looked at him and repeated quickly want she read on the paper:

From the heavens
To the stars
Down to Earth
You appeared

The harp was strung
A happy Tulio flew
The birds sung
All because of you

You walk in beauty
To your delight
Because birds know
You represent light

The first time I saw you
I had just come to Rio from a pet shop
The first time I met you
My heart just stopped

My eyes cried
My head ached
My wings shook
My legs rattled

The first time we met
It didn't go so well
Since I was just a pet
Trapped in his shell

But now, it's fine
All is glowing
For we shine
Because our relationship is growing

In time, one wish comes from this loving fool
For it is a wish that will change our lives that we will see
Out of love, I ask this my Precious Jewel.
Would you start a family with me?

Flor handed the paper to Blu.

"Something like this; she would want to read."

Blu grabbed the very thin piece of blue paper and tucked it under his wing, keeping it in place by using a blue rubber band. He had the rubber band on the whole night, but it was invisible to everyone since the color matched his feathers. It was also covered by his feathers, making it seem nothing was there.

"Thanks, Flor."

Flor looked at Blu with widened eyes.

"So, what will you do?"

Blu looked curiously at her.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm no idiot. Jewel isn't there, is she?"

Blu shook his head.

"Well, then. We'll split up to find her faster. She shouldn't have gone far, with her wing broken and all."

"It's not that easy, Flor. She's... She has been taken by an eagle."

Flor gasped.

"That's horrible. Blu, we have to save her."

"You believe she's still alive too?"

"She is a strong bird. I'm pretty confident she's alive, but we still need to hurry."

"No Flor. I want you to stay here."

Flor shook her head.

"You can't expect me to stay-"

"Listen, Flor. It's my fault that Jewel got kidnapped. If I didn't start arguing with her…"

Blu sighed.

"I have to fix it on my own."

"But Blu."

Blu smirked.

"Think of it as the final exam of your teachings."

Flor stopped talking and watched as Blu took off in front of her. She watched Blu become a blue spec in the starry sky. She sighed and went back into the club.

A brownish Chaco Chachalaca had been watching the two macaws' conversation from the safety of a nearby rooftop. Xavier sighed.

"It never meant to happen this way."

He flew away towards the beach to hide from society as the unwanted bird.

Jewel was thrown against a tree's truck. The pain of her back did not go unnoticed, but she didn't complain. She managed to look down from the branch. It was too high of a jump to survive from. She then heard footsteps. She looked into the eyes of the Crested Eagle.

"Just eat me and get it over with."

"Eat you? It seems you've already given up, child."

"I haven't," panted Jewel, narrowing her eyes even further. "It's just that my chances are slim. My wing is broken, and you purposely injured my back. Just do it."

"In time, Dearie. You shouldn't rush into your death."

Jewel relaxed a bit, but she kept her stern face.

"Then why keep me alive?"

"I already answered that. I want you and your boyfriend."

"Keep your talons off of him!"

The eagle smirked wickedly.

"I'm afraid that can't be done. See, I've been waiting for you two. Spix's Macaws are a rare delicacy."

Jewel growled under her beak.

"Temper, Dearie. Didn't your mother ever teach you good manners?"

"Of course she did, but not to low-lives as yourself."

"Low-lives," growled the eagle briefly before her voice settled down. "Well, it doesn't matter. As soon as your boyfriend comes, you two will be forever in my thoughts and belly."

Jewel looked down.

"You know, I didn't expect there to be two Spix's Macaws. This just makes my night. Probably I will not have to kill that bird after all. Then again, he did lie to me that there was only one macaw."

"Wait. Someone told you about us?"

"Well, how else would I know where to pick you up? It's all thanks to the brown-feathered crybaby. From what I heard, I think he calls himself Xavier."
