Rio the series 5

Chapter 3 Carnaval

A nice relaxing day in the beautiful City of Rio. Somewhere amongst the City was the Christ the Redeemer Statue was the Blue Macaw Jewel, and her friend, the Keel Billed Toucan Eva.

"Ahhhhh," Jewel sighed, while feeling the breeze of the wind spread across her face. "I love it up here."

"Me, too, Jewel." Eva replied, while looking at the clouds. "I can't for Carnval tomorrow."

"Me, neither." Jewel agreed, placing her wings behind her head and closing her eyes. "Who's gonna watch your kids?"

"No-one; we're taking them with us this year." Eva replied.

"Let's hope they behave." Jewel hoped.

"Well, they're growing up," Eva said, turning her eyes to make eye-contact with Jewel. "But, you're right; let's hope they behave for a change."

"Yeah," Jewel said, while standing back up onto her talons. "I guess I better be going home now."

"It's fine; I'll see you at Carnaval, Jewel." Eva called, as the Blue Macaw was already flying away into the crystal-clear sky.

When Jewel was away from the Statue and from her best friend, she began to make her way back home to her husband and children. Jewel began whistling a song to herself. "Doooo, do, do, doooooooo, dunnnnn."

One day later

When the next day (and night) had arrived it was time for Carnaval for all the people of Rio and the Birds in the Jungle. In the Blue Macaws family tree, Blu, Jewel and all 4 of their children had spent 30 minutes in the pond preening and making their feathers look all nice and shiny.

Jewel was kneeled down to Jessica and licked her wing and scrubbed a bit of dirt from Jessica's head.

"Mom!" Jessica whined. "I don't won't your spit in my head feathers."

"Jessica, you'll thank me one day." Jewel said, as she stopped scrubbing her youngest daughter and stood back onto her talons. Jewel lifted her wings up and began to examine herself. "Nice and shiny."

"Indeed." Blu agreed, who was also checking himself and seeing he too was nice and shiny. "Are we ready to go now?"

"Yep," Jewel smiled, before turning to her children. "Come on, kids, flap those wings and let's go."

The 6 Blue Macaws jumped out of their hollow with their wings extended and took flight into the beautiful dark sky.

After the Blue Macaw family had left their tree hollow, they flew over to the magically City of Rio where the streets were empty due to everyone being at Carnaval. When they arrived at Carnaval, the watched the parades traveling through the streets.

"Hey, Pedro, they're here!" a happy and familiar voice cried excitedly.

Blu and Jewel turned their attention over to the roof tops and saw Nico and Pedro with Rafael and Eva and their 18 kids. Blu and Jewel simultaneously shouted: "Nico! Pedro!"

"Hey, guys." Nico greeted while watching the parades. "Glad you came."

"Wouldn't miss it for the World." Jewel said.

"I would." Rico countered, causing all of his friends to look at him with a curious face. Rico looked at all his friend and raised his dark black wings open. "What I'd say?"

Before anyone had the chance to answer, music from the parade began to play. All of the Birds turned their attention to the music and began tapping their talons to the beat of the music.

When she was just a girl
She expected the world

"I love this song!" Jewel whooped.

"Me, too." Blu agreed, as he took Jewel's wing in his. "Let's dance, Jewel."

"With please." Jewel smiled.

But it flew away from her reach
So she ran away in her sleep
Dreamed of para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Every time she closed her eyes
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh

Blu spun Jewel around multiple times while watching Rafael dance with Eva, Nico dancing with Perla, Pedro dancing with Henrietta. All 18 Toucans held wings and spun around their mother and fathers.

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth

Life goes on
It gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear, a waterfall
In the night, the stormy night
She closed her eyes
In the night, the stormy night
Away she'd fly.

"Wow, this is fun!" Blu cheered, while dancing with his beautiful wife.

"Yeah it is!" Jewel agreed, while enjoying her mate spinning her around. "I can't believe you missed out all the Carnaval's while you was in America."

"Yeah, me, too." Blu said.

And dreamed of para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh

She dreamed of para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

La la la La
La la la

Blu spun Jewel around into the air. She extended her wings and flew for a short time with her eyes closed and listening to the Samba. Jewel slowly descended back to the ground, only to land in Blu's wings.

Blu looked down at Jewel in his wings and smiled. "I love so much, Jewel."

"I never get tired of you saying that, Blu." Jewel smiled, resting the side of her head on his chest.

So lying underneath those stormy skies.
She said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
I know the sun must set to rise.

This could be para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
This could be para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

This could be para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Could be para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
