Rio the series 5
Chapter 12 two Birds and one Bear
A quiet peaceful morning throughout the beautiful and magically City of Rio De Janeiro. In the Jungle of Rio, the Birds were all out of their hollow and enjoying a day out. Near one of the ponds throughout the Jungle, the Blue Macaw family were enjoying a day out together. They decided to go to the pond early, so they could be alone.
Blu-who was still grumpy of what Jewel did him the other day, which was tie him up and make him carry her all way through the Jungle was trying to get back to sleep, while he laid down in the tall grass. Lucky for him, Jewel knew Nico and Pedro were watching (not Rico however) and talked to them, and they agreed not to tell anyone.
Jewel was laying in the water, with the water up to her neck, while she had her eyes closed and was listening to the sounds of her children playing in the water together.
Nico and Pedro, the two Samba Birds were also in the water, playing around with their nephew's niece.
Jewel peaked one of her turquoise eyes open, to see Azul, Rey, Crystal and Pedro playing tag with each other, while Nico and Jessica were playfully splashing water at each other. She re-closed her eyes and began to daydream nice relaxing thoughts to herself. "Ahhhhh, such a beautiful morning."
Jewel changed her expression a little, as she turned over to Blu, who was still trying to back to sleep. "Why must he sleep?"
The female Macaw formed a grin as she got out of the pond and shook her coat of feathers dry. Jewel walked over to her husband and extended her wing, before she began to shake him side-to-side. "Bluuuuu, wake up."
"Ugh...For more minutes." Blu mumbled, while trying to stay where he was.
"Come on, Blu. Come play with us." Jewel said, still trying to shake him awake."
Blu knew Jewel wasn't going to go away until he got up, so he obeyed and used his wings to get back up onto his talons. Blu rubbed his eyes with his wings and sighed in tiredness. "Fine."
"Good." Jewel smiled, while she placed a wing over him and escorted him over to the pond. Jewel escorted Blu to the pond; before he had the chance to get in by himself, Jewel quickly moved back and pushed him forward with her wings.
"WHA!" Blu yelled, before he landed down belly first into the pond catching his friends and children's attention. Blu popped his head out of the water and spat water out of his beak, while he watched Jewel laughing uncontrollably.
Blu smirked as he quickly out of the water and grabbed Jewel's wing. "Think that's funny?"
Blu yanked Jewel's wing and pulled himself and Jewel down in the water, causing another splash. They both submerged out of the water and wrapped their soaked wings around each other while they both laughed and giggled.
"That's our boy, a'ight." Pedro sighed.
"Yep." Nico agreed, before he and Pedro resumed their session of playing games with the Blue Macaw kids.
Blu and Jewel kept their wings around each other's backs while the smiled and looked into each other's chocolate brown and turquoise eyes. They leaned their heads until they were inches away and hugged each other.
"Blu, you're so good to me." Jewel cooed, while she got her head buried in his neck.
"You too, Jewel. You get more beautiful-er everyday." Blu smiled, while resting the side of his face on her head.
Their peaceful quiet morning was interrupted by the bush's rumbling behind them. The Blue Macaws and Samba Birds turned their attention to the bush, where a Black Hawk crawled out, while carrying a tranquilizer pistol on his back, with a ghillie suit around his body for disguise, and with army paint smeared on his face.
Blu chuckled and said to Jewel: "Look, Jewel. It's Sgt. Rico reporting for duty."
"Haha, very funny." Rico frowned, while standing back up on his talons. Rico took the tranquilizer gun from his back and loaded it up with a dart his was also carrying. "Today's the day I get the Bear."
"You're still trying to get the Bear?" Blu said, before he chuckled again. "Rico, you've tried SO many times."
"Oh, you think that's funny?" Rico said, as he walked by the edge of the bond. Rico beckoned for Blu to come over to him. Blu smirked while he let Jewel go and got out of the pond, before shaking his feathers.
"Well, Blu, if you think it's funny, you're coming with me." Rico said, with a smirk followed after.
"Oh, yeah!" Blu scoffed, before he laughed. "That will be the day."
"Oh, you're coming alright!" Rico countered.
"Or what?" Blu asked.
Rico moved close to Blu and moved his beak next to Blu's eardrum and began to whisper into his ear. "If you don't, I'll tell everyone at the Club that Jewel tied you up and made you walk to the mango tree and back."
Blu gasped as he could not believe Rico knew everything that had happened to him the other day. Blu turned over to Rico and said: "You wouldn't."
"Wanna bet?" Rico countered.
"Awwwww, fine. I guess I will." Blu gave in and raised his wings in surrender.
"Excellent." Rico smirked.
Blu walked back into the pond and pecked Jewel's cheek. "Jewel, I'm gonna go and help Rico out. Is it okay if I leave you guys for a little while?"
"Of course it's fine, Blu." Jewel smiled, before she pecked his cheek in return too. "Now, you go and have fun. If we're not hear when we get back
###
After at few minutes or so, Blu and Rico were both hiding in a spider hole Rico had dug for them both to hide in. They both peaked up their eyes out of the hollow but had to be careful they didn't knocked the small camouflaged lid that was covering them spider hole.
"So, why are we here?" Blu asked in a whisper.
"My sources tell me the Bear will be walking past soon. So when he does, I'll jump out and shoot him with his gun I borrowed from Tulio." Rico explained, while examining the tranquilizer gun in his wings. "Hmmm, gun."
"Sounds like a plan." Blu smirked.
"Yep." Rico agreed, before he silently began to sing to himself to pass the time. "'Cause you had a bad day you're taking one down."
While the waited, Blu was beginning to fall asleep due to him being woken up early in the morning by Jewel. While Blu had decided to take a nap, Rico's ocean blue eyes opened up wide when he saw huge footsteps walking past the area.
It was indeed the Bear.
"Blu! He's hear!" Rico yelled, in excitement before he noticed Blu had fallen asleep. Rico frowned, as he slowly crawled out of the spider hole. Rico got close to the Bear, as he moved slowly and slowly towards it. Without thinking, Rico jumped in front of the Bear and yelled: "GOT YOU!"
Rico quickly went to grab the gun from his back. Unfortunately, he had left it in the spider hole with Blu. Rico gulped and whispered to himself: "Oh dear!"
The Bear roared, while it lifted it's paw and attempted to whack Rico away. Rico dodged and quickly flew into the air. He had the chance to escape, however he decided to do something stupid.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" Rico screamed a battle cry while he charged directly at the Bear. Rico got close to the Bear, with his wing curled like a fist and quickly punched the Bear across it's face.
The Bear merely sniffed while it looked at Rico, with a not very happy face. Before Rico could escape, the Bear knocked him directly to the ground. The Bear lifted his paw up and prepared to finish him off.
Rico had his eyes closed tight, waiting for the animal to finish him off. However, Rico was not dead yet. He peaked open his eyes to see the Bear, who was walking all funny around the area.
The Bear collapsed to the ground and had fallen asleep. Rico leaned up, confused but happy to be alive. The Hawk looked up and saw a dart in the back of the Bear's back, and a Blue Macaw was standing on it's back, with the gun in his wing and a smirk.
Rico grinned as he got back up onto his talons and asked Blu: "Good shot. How'd you learn to use that?"
"I've had much experience." Blu replied, before looking down at the Bear. "Now, we should find Tulio so he can take this Bear out of here."
"Copy that." Rico agreed, while brushing the dirt out of his feathers.
The Bear of Rio has finally been caught. Well done, Blu. You deserve a medal for what you did. Stay tuned for the next chapter.
