Rio: merry Christmas.


All of the adults were rudely awoken by the excited squeals of the chicks and it was Blu who awoke first and he grumbled crossly. The adult blue Macaw stood up and walked over to the small slide that lead downwards and was greeted by a sweet, heart warming sight.

The Chicks we're flying lowly as they were zipping around the small Christmas tree and were seeing which gift was theirs and he quickly awoken the rest of the adults before the chicks gone stir crazy.

The adults sat in front of their young children, watching them open their presents from Santa Macaw. Most of the Toucan chicks had gotten twigs in the style of teddy bears, or bouncy balls and pretty stones but Manuel had gotten one of Santa Macaw's bells like he had wanted, Bobby had gotten 3 bandana's and Ivanna had gotten a string back to wrap around her neck and to keep her pretty stone in so no bird could ever try and take it.

Jasmine had gotten a book about aero dynamics, Savannah had obtained a pretty head feather accessory and Carlos had gotten a tiny picture frame which had a picture of him and Jasmine having fun and laughing.

Carlos knew what this picture was from and he stared down at it as his eyes began teary. It was on a day where the sun was shining brightly and Carlos wanted to have a falling contest. It was where you jumped off of a tree very high and you used your wings to parachute down, if you had landed on the exact spot where you had predicted then you are considered to be a winner.

Anyways, this was when Carlos and Jasmine were having their turn and they were both smiling and laughing like loons tic's as they fell.

Carlos hugged the picture close to his cream coloured, red rimmed chest and said in a whisper as he looked up "Thanks Santa..."

Bobby then remembered Linda's note and took it ever so carefully off his leg before he handed it to his now interested dad who looked at the small piece of paper with keen interest.

Blu unrolled the paper and it read 'To Blu: I wish you a merry Christmas and I hope you try and come and see me later and I will give you and the others some fruit cake and some hot chocolate so than you and you're friends could all have Christmas dinner. Love Linda, Fernando and Tulio.' the adult Blue Macaw smiled at the letter before holding it close to where his heart should be. He was planning on going to see Linda anyway and this now encouraged him to go and take everyone there. That was a promise.

Nico suggested as he flew on top of the fake tree's top "Who wants to sing a jolly, merry song to ring out to all of Rio?" "YEAH!" shouted everyone in unison as they lifted their wings up, some even flew up into the air, in agreement. But Suddenly, a Scarlet Macaw entered the water fall's behind and asked happily "Can I join too?" Rapper smiled "Hey Arlene! Yeah, of course you can join us! The more the Merrier!"

Arlene cleared her throat before she began to sing as she put most of her heart's glee into her singing

"It's the greatest time of year, and it's here
Help me celebrate it
With everybody here, friends so dear
Let me simply state it
Joy to the world and everyone
Lift up your hearts and feel the love
It's our favorite way, to spend the holiday
Yeah!"

Everyone immediately caught on to Arlene's song and danced along with it as she sang the lyrics. Jasmine, Savannah, Ivanna and Jewel joined in with Arlene and everyone in the waterfall cavern all began to dance and sing along.

"There's a special kind of feeling in the air
It only happens at this time of year
When everyone is filled with love and cheer
'Cause that's what matters."

Nico sang this line and so did Blu and Carlos and even Bobby. They stood back to back with the girls as they sang. Jasmine to Carlos, Blu to Jewel, Bobby to Ivanna and Nico and Arlene. They all tapped their talons on the ground with enthusiastic smiles on their beaks. Nico was tapping against his bottle cap hat to make the beat as he bounced on the ground (A/N: like the beginning to the trailer of the sequel!) and they all twirled their partners on their talons.

"Pretty paper boxes tied with bows
Walking in the sun or in the snow
We can feel the excitement growing, knowing."

Pedro and Rapper and Manuel sang this line and they flew in the circle above the fake Christmas before Pedro grabbed Manuel in his wings and gave him a small noogie while Rapper picked up a small present and gently handed it to the small Toucan chick with a gentle smile. The two adult birds landed gracefully on the ground with their wings spread apart, smiles on all of their beaks.

"It's the greatest time of year, and it's here
Help me celebrate it
With everybody here, friends so dear
Let me simply state it
Joy to the world and everyone
Lift up your hearts and feel the love
It's our favorite way, to spend the holiday
Yeah!"

Everyone in the cave sang this line and they all put their hearts, like Arlene when this song first started, and most of them flew up into the air while Jasmine, Carlos, Manuel, Ivanna, Blu and Jewel, Rafael and Eva and the youngest of the Toucan chick's, Pedro, were all dancing on the ground with ecstasy filling their hearts and they just all felt downright jolly and the couple that were given the spotlight were Carlos and Jasmine.

"We can get all cozy by the fire
Turn the music up a little higher
I don't think that I could ever tire
Of being together."

Jasmine sang this line as Carlos dipped her while he held her in his wings and the ebony feathered Toucan half-breed smiled lovingly at the Blue Macaw chick as her chocolate brown stared at him lovingly right back. Jasmine's eyes were amazing as they made Carlos' heart flutter all over the place and everyone looked at this scene with amazement marring their facial features as they watched Carlos and Jasmine sing the next line of the song.

"Decorate the tree, hang mistletoe
And stand by me
It's a picture perfect moment capture
Memories that we'll have after."

Everyone cheered once Carlos and Jasmine had finished their amazingly breathtaking duet. Just watching them sing made everyone feel so happy and it made them all feel really good about themselves. Everyone knew that while a Toucan and a Macaw dating may have been an odd mix but they didn't care. They belonged together, really.

"It's the greatest time of year, and it's here
Help me celebrate it
With everybody here, friends so dear
Let me simply state it
Joy to the world and everyone
Lift up your hearts and feel the love
It's our favorite way, to spend the holiday
Yeah."

Blu and Jewel sang this line as they stared at each other, nuzzling close to each other to keep each other warm as they wrapped their wings around each other with joyful smiles on their beaks as each of their tail feathers curled in awe with being in each other's embrace. Everyone sighed at the romance Blu and Jewel shared and it, like Carlos and Jasmine, was a beautiful sight. Savannah swooped down beside her mother and father as she held little Grace and bounced her gently in her wings as she spun on her talons gracefully, singing with her voice careful and sweet.

"Spend the holidays...
It's the greatest, greatest time of year time of year,
time to celebrate
yeah its our favorite time."

The spotlight shone upon Savannah as she sung while Grace was giggling and wriggling in the big, fluffy blue Macaw Chick's embrace and when her spotlight had finished, everyone sang all together with their voices' ringing aloud the snow/frost covered Jungles of Rio de Jenero.

"It's the greatest time of year
and its here
help me celebrate it
with everybody here
friends so dear
let me simply state it
JOY TO THE WORLD!
JOY TO THE WORLD!
JOY TO THE WORLD!"

At first, Blu and Jewel and Jasmine and Carlos were singing the small part when everyone else joined in and decided to dance with one another to show their everlasting glee and as they sang, Snow begun to leak through the waterfall cavern and everyone smile at the sight of the little white specks and a small flake landed on Grace's beak. Her eyes, glistening in curiosity and keen interest.

"It's the greatest time ...of year
its the greatest time of year and its here
help me celebrate it
with everybody here, friends so dear
let me simply state it
joy to the world and everyone
lift up your hearts and feel the love
its our favorite way to spend the holiday!"

Everyone had finished their song and cheered aloud and jumped for joy and Blu and Jewel spun each other with smiles and Savannah counted "Three..." one feather tip went down "Two..." another wing tip went down, leaving only one wingtip remaining "One!"

With that, Blu and Jewel kissed lovingly and Savannah praised herself eagerly as she still held the little Crimson Macaw chick in her wings "I'm so clever!" and Grace crooned in agreement and reached her tiny wings for her new friend. Savannah waved along with Nico, Pedro, Arlene, Rico, Rapper, Ivanna and Blu and Jewel exclaimed in unison as they looked towards the viewer of this Fanfic "Feliz Natal, everybody!"

But, watching from his perched position from a branch nearby, A deep red elderly Macaw with with splotches under his eyes and around his beak, who wore a jolly hat, smiled warmly before he sat "Ho, ho, ho. I knew giving everyone those gifts would lift their hearts and I knew that Carlos would learn a lesson from his heart. One he should never forget." With that, Santa Macaw flew away upon the horizon because he was on his way to give some bullies some dung while singing 'Jingle bells' happily.


That's the end of this story guys. HORRAY! FINALLY AND I LOVED WRITING THIS!

The song was 'Greatest time of the year' by Aly & AJ and I find this to be one of my most fav Xmas songs. What do you think of this stories and I have a question about how to do a community. I done the Categories and all but then it says something about a drop down list (Which I can't find). I need help but if you can, please make it small words because I need some help when it comes to things like this.

I thank Ricardo the Black Hawk, Rapper the Red Macaw and Arlene the Scarlet Macaw for letting me borrow their OC's and I hope they will let me borrow them for my next Rio fanfic. Also, which was your fav part if I may ask?

Alright, I have to go now. Bye.
