Rio: merry Christmas.

It may have taken approximately 2 hours but Carlos had finally made it to the Samba club where Pedro, Nico and Rapper were all singing and dancing for a huge horde of birds.

The Toucan Chick couldn't help but smile as he felt his blue feet tap to the ground in the beat of the song the three birds were singing/Rapping. Everytime he even heard a tune, The young Toucan would go all out in a dance and even sing a little to whatever he heard.

He supposed he got this trait from his dad. Or he had hoped so anyway since he wouldn't lie about the fact that his mother was quite and painfully tone death.

The lights had danced around in the air, they had mostly became white and snowflake shaped while others were blue and a nice, calming Christmas tune, sung by Nico, was filling the cool, Winter air. The noise which mostly filled the area was the clapping of many wings and the Toucan winced slightly at how loud the clapping was. There must have been a load of birds here.

Nico sang as he spun on his long feet and swung his wings around in a dance as well as shaking his hips ever so slightly as he, Rapper and Pedro sang Holly Jolly Christmas by Michael Bublè.

"Have a holly jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow
But have a cup of cheer."

Nico flew and flew above the stage and announced, a voice filled with holiday cheer and one dripping with excitement "Hey, Hey, Hey! Me and My friends would love to wish y'all a happy Feliz Natal and..." The Canary peered into the crowd to see young Carlos standing amount the front row of the crowd of watching birds.

"Ah, Carlos!" exclaimed Nico as he gestured for Pedro to bring the young chick up to the stage "Wanna sing with us?"

The rather shy Chick was grabbed by the shoulders in Pedro's talons and gently placed beside Nico's side and he didn't really get any say in it but if this is what it took to get their attention then this pretty well was what he was going to do.

"Have a holly jolly Christmas

When ya walk down the street,

Say hello to friends you know

And everyone you meet."

Sang Nico as he smiled, gently patting a stage frightened Carlos in order to calm his nerves. Due to the high intensity in the chick's muscles, the Canary knew the young Toucan was probably nervous and was about to ask him about reconsidering this but the sudden reasurring smile on the young chick's rather large beak quickly made Nico feel a bit safer.

The two birds looked towards Rapper who took on singing from the yellow canary as he danced upon some paint cans to make his dancing talons echo throughout the area and to make it more effective, which worked.

"Oh ho the mistletoe
Hung where you can see.
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me."

Rapper the Red Macaw felt a smile grow on his gray beak as he continued to stylishly dance with some swift movements and he flew upwards and grabbed some rather old fashioned Christmas lights in his talons before he twirled and flew up and Down and around a pole, wrapping the twinkling lights the pole too as he flew gracefully.

"Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Uh by golly have a holly jolly
Christmas this year."

As the instrumental came on, Pedro strummed a few strings to give a guitar feeling to the party since this Christmas tune was not really for rapping around...It could be but sadly he had a slight cold coming on and he didn't want to sneeze at the minute. Plus, he didn't tell anybody because he didn't want to have a day off. Not now, not ever.

Rapper had now landed and Nico, himself and Carlos had now began to sway in time with the music, smiles endearing their faces as Pedro finely played the musical Instrement.

"Oh ho the mistletoe
Hung where you can see.
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me."

As Nico and Rapper sang this verse of the song, Carlos felt himself get braver and braver each second he was on stage and he now found himself waddle out in front of the stage, smiling at the cheering crowd of birds gathered at the club while Rapper, Nico and Pedro danced behind him.

"Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Uh by golly have a holly. Jolly.
Christmas...this year..."

Carlos sang his line incredibly well. In fact, this earned him a few cheers from the horde of gathered birds and the young Toucan smiled widely as he never knew that he could sing quite well. Well, his dad had told him time and time again about his great singing voice but he didn't believe it until now.

Even Nico, Rapper and Pedro were cheering for him behind with smiles on their beaks as they looked down upon him with kindness flashing in each of their eyes. Carlos felt his cheeks grow warm as he felt a blush come on.

Pedro had played the finishing solo he had on the guitar and soon, after Nico, Rapper and Pedro had all gone to their dressing room, They had all asked why Carlos had come at the time.

Carlos had explained everything. About his dad's horrid past. About Jasmine's bullying and now about the special surprise he had planned.

Once to help the Toucan chick had whispered to his friends what the surprise was, they all agreed before going off to fly over to Luiz' place.

They all felt excitement inside thier free beating hearts as they flew in the harsh cold, making Pedro sneeze all the way to Luiz the Bulldog's Garage and they felt ridiculously excited for the bird of honour.

Please forgive me that this chapter was so very short. I just wanted to deliver a chapter yesterday and I kind of didnt complete my promise and I always keep my promises.

I hope this was good enough and the song choice was good.

I was busy with another story chapter for something else, the reason why I was so frantic to finish this.

Please, please forgive me if this Chapter was bad.
