CHAPTER 13

Two days later and Nico's life was back to normal. More or less, anyway. Him and Pedro were great friends, Rafael was still like family to them, Blu was still the target of most of their teasing and pranks.

All in all, it was good.

Though according to an amused Jewel and a miffed Blu, Jane had a crush on both her uncles now. Nico had laughed at Pedro's stuttering, giving his friend a pat on the back.

Nico laughed still at the memory. "What're you laughin about?" Pedro asked, coming up behind Nico on their branch.

"Just thinking." Nico replied. He suddenly remembered something. "Did you ever finish that song?"

"Huh?" Pedro replied smartly. "Oh! Yeah." Pedro smiled broadly as he answered. "I finally thought of what it was missing." There was a twinkle in his eye and Nico wondered what his friend was planning.

"...And what would that be?" He asked cautiously, knowing that if he didn't his friend wouldn't tell him.

"It was never a solo. It's a duet!" Pedro exclaimed proudly. Nico felt his eyes grow. "Haha! That's right my friend! You up for singing a song tonight at the club?" Pedro nudged Nico with his elbow.

Nico grew a smile just as wide as his eyes had been, and nodded. "Of course, man! I'm always up for a new song!" The two gave a high five. "But if we're gonna sing tonight, we better get practicing."

"Hey." Pedro spoke after a while of memorizing the lyrics. Nico looked up at the sound. "I wonder what ever happened to your brothers..."

"Don't know, don't care." Nico replied blandly. "Let's just finish quickly so we can think of a routine."

"Right."

ELSEWHERE...

"Fly faster, Roderick!" Thomas yelled as his brother began to lag behind.

"What do you think I'm trying to do?!" Roderick yelled back. He was desperately flapping his wings. Why wouldn't these things stop following them? It'd been two days already!

"Damn that runt!" Thomas voiced his twins thoughts, as though thinking them himself. "How dare he get all those seagulls to come after us?!" Said seagulls was a flock of them that were known for not giving up on their prey if they really wanted it or were payed well enough.

In this case, it was to repay a favor to their old friends: Raphael, Nico and Pedro.

They'd been contacted by the trio all of an hour after Roderick and Thomas had been taken down. Nico had told them that if they chased and scared his brothers to the point of never coming back or never being able to come back, then they'd have payed off a significant amout of the debt the sea birds had always felt they'd owed.

Of course they accepted.

Being the generous birds that few knew they were, they'd even offered to make sure other birds all over Rio knew to look out for a pair of twin canaries, one white and one yellow, entering the city. And to warn Nico and the gulls if that should happen.

Yes. Revenge certainly was a sweet treat indeed for Nico.

THE END

AN: So this is it. After all that time, I re-right the ending in a span of a half hour, an hour? Sorry if it feels rushed or short, but I had to right it while I still had interest. I also realize that I kinda dropped that strength thing I put in a couple chapters ago but that was in the original ending and I couldn't figure out a new way to fit it in. I actually like this ending a bit better though, so I'm happy even if people don't like this end. Not to sound insensitive or anything. But it's better. Believe me.

Okay~ my rant is done. I hope those that read these last few chapters are happy that this story is finally done and I apologize again. Thank you for you're favs/follows and I'm glad to have a second story marked 'Complete'.
