Rio the series 5
Chapter 2 singing and rapping.
A couple of days had passed from the heat-wave that had spread out all across Rio. In the local Jungle, was the Samba Club, which had now been moved to the Jungle for Birds to arrive quicker.
Inside the Club, Nico and Pedro were sitting behind the stage, trying to think of new songs for them to sing.
"How about a little rock 'n' roll?" Pedro suggested.
"Nah." Nico disagreed. "How about a romantic song?"
"Nah, too weak," Pedro replied, with a wing on his chin. "Nico, I really can't think of anything."
"Hmmmmmmm." Nico hummed, trying to think of a song for both him and Pedro to sing together for when their customers arrive.
"Hmmmm." Pedro hummed too, with his eyeballs looking up a the ceiling.
They continued to think of a song together, thinking as hard as their small brains could. A excited smile jumped on both Nico and Pedro's beak as they bot had an idea. "Poetry!"
"Yeah, everyone loves poetry!" Nico said.
"Yeah, we could even do some rappin'!" Pedro said.
Nico put on a glum face and looked over at Pedro. "Pedro, let's just stick to poetry for now."
Pedro merely shrugged in response. "A'ight."

Meanwhile, in another part of the Jungle, Blu and his beautiful wife Jewel were sitting together while leaning against the wall in their tree hollow. Their children were still sleeping in the nest due to it being early morning.
Blu smiled and moved one wing over Jewel. "So peaceful."
"Yep." Jewel agreed, laying her head down on Blu's chest. "This is just what I wanted."
There was silence for a couple of minutes, until they could here singing nearby. Blu glazed up to see a black figure flying towards him and Jewel.
Blu smiled when he heard the figure singing.
Shoot to thrill play to kill
Too many women too many pills
Shoot to thrill play to kill
I got my gun at the ready gonna fire at will
Cause I shoot to thrill and I'm ready to kill
I can't get enough and I can't get my fill
Rico landed down straight in front of Blu and Jewel in their hollow like he was a ninja. Rico stood back up and walked over to Blu and Jewel.
Cause I shoot to thrill play to kill
Play it again
"Hey, lovebirds." Rico greeted.
"Hi, Rico." Blu greeted in return.
"You're up early," Jewel said, lifting her head up from her mates body. "What happened to sleeping until 11:00 in the morning?"
Rico shrugged in response. "I guess people change."
"Indeed they do." Blu agreed, as he lifted his wing up and stroked Jewel's head, to her delight.
"Well, I gotta go find a couple of friends." Rico answered, looking at the sky. "Hey, do you two wanna come?"
"Sure, I'll go." Blu replied, getting back up onto his talons. "Jewel, wanna come?"
"No thanks, lovehawk," Jewel replied, also getting up onto her feet. She placed her wings on her mates shoulders and gave him a little push. "You and Rico go and have fun. I'll watch the kids."
Blu smiled in response and took Jewel's wing and placed a kiss on it. "Ok, Jewel, I'll see you later." Blu turned back over to Rico, who was patiently waiting. "Let's go."
Rico nodded in response and extended his wings.
Blu and Rico commanded their wings to take them up into the air. Seconds later they flew away together and headed to where Rico was going to meet his friends.
###
Blu and Rico arrived near the Western Jungle, where they believe Eric and Mark were located. They were correct indeed.
Blu and Rico landed down on a branch where they saw two Red Macaws standing on a branch near the ground, with a small crowd of Birds watching them. The two Red Macaws were rapping in front of their crowd.
Mark:
"Yoyoyoy, Eric, my man, why we here again?"
Eric:
"We are performing for a fans, my man."
Mark:
"Oh, yeah, I think my memory's slipping."
Eric:
"Well go and get a drink then, and start sipping."
"Hey, guys. Guys?" Rico said, trying to get their attention but they were not listening. "Guys?"
"I don't think they're listening." Blu said to Rico like it was obvious.
Rico sighed in responce. "Wait here." Rico flew up onto the branch and walked over to Eric and Mark, who were still rapping to each other.
Mark:
"Hey, hey, Eric it's Rico the Black Hawk.
Eric:
"Well, whatta ya know, it's time we have talk."
Rico walked closer to them and began to do something which very much was a surprise to his friend, Blu.
Rico:
"Your raps are keeping from talking, which is making me very annoyed, so stop what you doing, before I throw you into a void."
Eric:
"Well, whatta ya know, he's a Hawk and he raps."
Mark:
"Man, we hope he's good, otherwise he'll end with some slaps."
Eric:
"So, Rico, my man, how can we help you?"
Rico:
"Well, Eric my man, first, I'd like you to me my friend Blu."
"Hello." Blu greeted waving his wing.
Eric:
"So, Rico, any other news you got for us?"
Rico:
"Yes, Eric, that's if it's not a muss."
Mark:
"Not at all, bro, just tell us the news."
Rico:
"Nico and Pedro are having a party and we could do with people like you with your raps and goos."
Mark:
"Ok, Rico, we'll be there."
Eric:
"Just don't go anywhere before we get there. Word."
Blu, who was watching with the crowd, walked up onto the branch with Rico, Eric and Mark. Blu cleared his throat and did something none of us would expect to see.
Blu:
"If you guys come, I hope you enjoy the party, but if you don't show up, we'll come back here and drag you to the party. Word."
All of the crowd clapped at the four rapping Birds. Mark and Eric looked at each other with shocked faces while Blu and Rico took bows to the crowd.

Night time had arrived in the Jungle. It was time for Nico and Pedro to sing one of their special songs together.
The crowd in the Club was silent as they waited for the Samba Birds to appear. Nico, who was backstage with Pedro, peaked his head out to see the crowd outside. "Wow, big crowd."
"You ready for this?" Pedro asked.
"Yeah, let's do it." Nico grinned, before walking out of the stage along side with Pedro.
The crowd of Birds clapped for the owners of the Club as they walked on the stage. Nico and Pedro waited for the crowd to be completely silent before they would begin.
When they were silent, Nico was the first to begin. He took off his bottle-cap and held it to his chest with his head lowered and eyes closed.
Nico:
I've been writing you a story
The headline reads "We're Meant To Be"
See I'm not one to write such fiction
So let me be a reality
And show you what you mean to me
It was now Pedro's turn. He walked a couple of steps in front of Nico and began to sing.
Pedro:
I'm thinking you and I
Should roll the dice, get lost in love forever
Cause I'm feeling intoxicated
I wanna taste the air that you've been breathing
Nico and Pedro both shot their faces up at the exact same time and grabbed one of each other's wings and spun around and both of the sang together.
Nico and Pedro:
So haunt me, and feel me
I've been waiting for your touch
Your beauty consumes me
I never loved someone so...
So haunt me, and feel me
I've been waiting for your touch
Your beauty consumes me
I never loved someone so...
Nico and Pedro released each other and both of the slid across the stage. Nico put his bottle-cap back on and stood back in the center of the stage.
Nico:
Before I met you, my heart was heavy
It was weighted down from all my pride
And now I'm lost in your sweet surrender
Confessing this love I have inside
So now I'll show you what you mean to me
Pedro performed a quick backflip before making his way in front of all the crowd.
Pedro:
I'm thinking you and I
Should roll the dice, get lost in love forever
Cause I'm feeling intoxicated
I wanna taste the air that you've been breathing
Nico and Pedro jumped up in the air together and landed down on their talons.
Nico and Pedro:
So haunt me, and feel me
I've been waiting for your touch
Your beauty consumes me
I never loved someone so...
So haunt me, and feel me
I've been waiting for your touch
Your beauty consumes me
I never loved someone so much
Nico:
And now I'm lost in your sweet surrender
And now I'm lost in your sweet surrender
Pedro:
I want to be the one that you run to
I want to be the one you say I love to
Been waiting on forever just to hold you
And our love will make the headlines bleed tonight
Nico and Pedro went silent for a couple of seconds. They both jumped up into the air again with colorful lights flashing behind them and the crowd cheering with them.
Nico and Pedro:
So haunt me, and feel me
I've been waiting for your touch
Your beauty consumes me
You know I never loved someone so...
So haunt me, and feel me
I've been waiting for your touch
Your beauty consumes me
I never loved someone so much
Nico and Pedro both jumped onto their knees with the crowd cheering so hard that they both could barely hearing each other talk.
"That was fun!" Nico whooped, also panting a little.
"Yeah, it was." Pedro agreed, also trying to catch his breath back.
In the crowd of Birds, Blu and Jewel were clapping for their friends on the stage. Blu smiled while clapping his wings and thought to himself: "Now that's talent."
Second chapter is complete. Gotta love poetry and rapping, am I right? Next chapter arriving soon.
And for those who are not aware, I am correcting and fixing some of my old chapters and making them good to read. (with the help of Kraft58 of course)
So I'll give shoutouts when they are good to read.
