Rio the series 4
Chapter 2 what ever happened to their parents?
Another fantastic day in the great city of Brazil. Jewel awoke, from her peaceful loving sleep, where she could see Blu's wings around her, and her children, in her wings, and cuddled into her chest. Jewel didn't want to get up yet, so she snuggled closer to Blu, and gently pulled her kids a little closer to her.
"Mmmmmm." Blu cooed in his sleep, putting his talon's around Jewel's legs, holding her a little closer.
As the family where peaceful sleeping, the sun shinned into the hollow, hitting Blu's eyes, causing him to wake up. "Arg, stupid sun." Blu complained, to himself, quietly. Blu looked forward, where he saw Jewel, who was still sleeping (But was actually still awake) and holding onto her offspring in her wings. Blu looked outside, and noticed the sun was coming up.
Blu gently let go of Jewel, and sat up, in the nest, and looked outside. The Blue Macaw looked outside, where he could see the local samba Bird's, starting their rhyme. The instrumentals finished, the chorus began to sing.
All the birds of a feather
Do what they love most of all
We are the best at rhythm and laughter
That's why we loveCarnival
Every bird sang perfectly to the song, flying together, making different shapes and colors.
All so clear we can sing to
Sun and beaches they call
Dance to the music, passion and love
Show us the best you can do
Blu sat still in his nest, humming to the rhyme.
Everyone here is on fire
Get up and join in the fun
Dance with a stranger, romance and danger
Magic could happen for real, in Rio
All by itself (itself)
Jewel peaked one of her light turquoise eyes open, where she could see Blu, day dreaming outside.
You can't see it coming
You can't find it anywhere else (anywhere else)
It's real, in Rio
Jewel gently let go of her children, being careful not to wake them up, and sneaked up behind Blu.
Know something else (something else)
You can't feel it happening
You can feel it all by yourself.
On the word 'yourself' Jewel got right behind Blu, and sat down, and tied both her wings around him. Blu became a little startled, before realizing it was Jewel.
"Good morning, Blu." Jewel greeted, resting her head on his back.
"Good morning, Jewel." Blu also greeted. Blu turned his head, Jewel lifted her head, and both shared a quick, morning kiss.
"Had a nice sleep?" Jewel asked, stretching her legs open, and pulling Blu a little closer.
"Yeah, you?" Blu inquired, snuggling his head into Jewel's chest.
"It was lovely, especially when you're keeping me comfy." Jewel replied, smiling.
"Good to hear." Blu smiled getting comfy, on her light blue chest. They both sat silent for a minute, watching the sun shine up. "Jewel?" Blu said, moving his head up.
"Mmmmmm?" Jewel replied, resting her chin on his head.
"I was just wondering." Blu said.
"Mmm-hmm?" Jewel hummed, as she kissed his head, which Blu enjoyed.
"Well, I hope you don't mind me asking...But whatever happened, to your family?" Blu asked.
Jewel turned her smiled face into a slightly sad one. "My family?" Jewel replied, making sure she heard what Blu asked.
"Yeah, remember when we met, you said you lost everything to humans?" Blu said, recalling what Jewel said to him more than a year ago.
"Yeah, it's true...one day...smugglers came...they tried to capture me and my family..." Jewel told, as she started to tear up. "We ran...they got caught...I tried to help them...I flew onto my father's cage...and he said to me..."Jewel, we'll always be with you" and then they were taken...and I-I-I tried to help, but the car crashed, and e-exploded. I never say them again!" Jewel finished, as she was now crying her eyes out.
Blu quickly turned around, and pulled Jewel into hug. Jewel cried into his bushy chest, as Blu tried to comfort her. Blu had never seen Jewel, this upset before.
"It's okay, Jewel, I'm sorry I asked." Blu said comforting.
"No Blu, I needed to get that out." Jewel sniffed, wiping her tears.
"It's ok Jewel, please don't cry, I'm here for you." Blu said.
Jewel lifted her head, from his chest where she had left tear stains.
"Thank you, Blu." Jewel said, putting on a smile.
Blu sat him and Jewel, back in the nest, and switched positions, so Jewel was sitting in front of him, under his wings. They both stayed silent, and stared outside, at the Jungle.
"Blu?" Jewel said, turning her head sideways.
"Yes?" Blu replied.
"What about your family?" Jewel asked.
"My family? I don't know, I don't think I ever remembered them." Blu replied.
"You never met your Mom and Dad?" Jewel said.
Blu shook his head. "No, apart from when Amanda talked to the spirits, the only thing I remember is, I woke up one morning, my parents were gone. I tried to fly, then I fell out of my tree, and that's when I was smuggled, and brought to Minnesota." Blu explained.
"That's so sad; I can't believe you never knew your parents." Jewel said, as she gently, put her right foot, on top of his talon, like humans putting hands on top of each other.
"I know." Blu replied. "Let's...let's just try and forget this whole thing, okay?" Jewel said.
"Okay." Blu agreed. Blu held her a little closer, and tried to wipe her damped tears away, just in case the kids woke up, and noticed. The two lovebirds, continued to stare out of the tree, until they could hear a slight yawn. Blu turned his head, where he could see, Rey, who had woken up.
"Good morning, Rey." Blu greeted.
"Morning, Daddy" Rey responded, with another yawn. Rey used his wings, to get on his feet, and walked over to Jewel, who picked him up. Rey relaxed and snuggled into Jewel's chest.
"So what's for breakfast?" Jewel asked. "
Hmmmm, we can have mangos, star fruit's, oranges, strawberries." Blu said, giving Jewel multiple choices.
"How about mangoes?" Jewel said.
"Is that okay with you, Rey?" Blu asked, his youngest son.
"Yeah." Rey replied, not opening his big brown eyes, and cozy in his mother's chest.
"Mangoes it is." Blu smiled. Blu got out of his nest, and stretched his dark blue wings, and took flight. After he had dispersed, Rey looked up, and noticed his mother, had slight tear stains, in her eyes.
"Mommy, have you been crying?" Rey asked.
Jewel didn't answer and held her son, a little closer. "Rey listen, I know you've never been outside our home on your own. Please, think about it, before you do, ok?" Jewel said.
"I won't, Mommy." Rey promised.
"Thank you." Jewel replied.
"But, why are you talking about that, I didn't do something wrong did I?" Rey asked.
"No, No, No, Rey just don't wanna ever lose you." Jewel replied. "
You want loose me, Mommy." Rey said smiling.
"Good." Jewel said, giving her son, a kiss on the head. On that cue, Blu returned, holding a leaf, which had 6 mangoes inside.
"I'm back." Blu said, dropping the leaf down.
"That was fast." Jewel smiled.
Blu opened up the leaf, and gave Jewel, one mango, gave Rey the other and left the remaining one's, out of the nest for the rest of his offspring.
"Thanks honey." Jewel said, giving Blu a peck on the cheek, before eating her mango. After they had finished there breakfast, Blu got back out of the nest, and walked to the hollow entrance/exit. "Blu, where are you going?" Jewel inquired.
"I...err...I'm going out for...a while...I'll see you later." Blu said, taking flight out of his hollow.
Jewel became confused, wondering why her husband had suddenly just took off like that.
"Why is Daddy leaving, Mommy?" Rey asked.
"I don't know, sweetie." Jewel replied, stroking Rey's head.
Shortly after leaving his wife, and children, Blu had decided to visit Amanda, the only Bird, who knows how to make contact with the spirits.
Blu lay down in Amanda's nest while Amanda sat beside him.
"So Blu, what do you want me to do?" Amanda asked.
"I want you to contact the spirits and see if you can find my mother's spirit." Blu explained.
"I'll try." Amanda said. The Yellow Macaw, closed her eyes, and began to concentrate. After a couple of minutes, Amanda re-opened her eyes. "I'm sorry, Blu. I couldn't find your mother's spirit."
Blu leaned back up and gave Amanda a hug.
"Well, thanks for trying." Blu said, as he walked to the hollow entrance/exit.
"Bye, Amanda!" Blu said, taking flight, out of the tree.
"Now what?" Blu thought, flying through the jungle. "Erg, I'm going to Linda's." Blu said, to himself as he took flight to the Blue Macaw Bookstore.
Shortly after seeing her husband leave, Jewel flew through the Jungle, flapping her wings, and heading straight for the only place Blu goes when he is upset Linda's bookstore. As for her offspring, Nico and Pedro, had arrived to see Jewel, and agreed to watch them for her. After a long while of flying, Jewel finally made it to the bookstore.
Jewel got inside, by flying through an open window, into the bookstore. Jewel perched herself on a coat hanger, and studied her surroundings. Jewel looked around, until she saw Blu, standing on the counter, with a mug of hot chocolate, next to him. Jewel flew down to Blu, and put a wing over him.
"Hi, Blu." Jewel greeted. Blu didn't answer, and remand eye contact with the ground.
"You ok?" Jewel asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine; I'm just a little doqn." Blu said, letting off a sigh.
Jewel didn't like to see her mate like this. A smile crept onto Jewel's beak, as an idea popped in her head, how to get him to cheer up. Jewel walked in front of Blu, and lifted her right talon, and used one of her toes to scratch Blu under his neck.
"Jewel, what...are...you..." Blu began to trail off, and relaxed "Oh, that's nice."
"I saw how Linda scratches you there, and I know how much you like it." Jewel said, smiling. Jewel stopped scratching his neck, and leaned her head, against his shoulder. Blu put one wing, over her, and nuzzled her head.
The two lovebirds stayed silent until, the radio, which Linda left on, started to play a romantic tune 'I Only Have Eyes For You.' Jewel immediately recognized the song, and leaned off of Blu.
"Oh, Blu! I love this song, come dance with me." Jewel said, pulling Blu, further to the center of the desk.
Blu and Jewel, faced the opposite side's, of each other Jewel put Blu's wing's, behind her back, and wrapped her wings, around the back of Blu's neck.
My love must be a kind of blind love
I can't see anyone but you.
Blu and Jewel, slowly danced, slowly spinning around, copying each other's step movements.
Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
I Only Have Eyes For You, Dear.
The moon maybe high
but I can't see a thing in the sky,
'Cause I Only Have Eyes For You.
Blu smiled at Jewel, and took one wing from her back, and gently stroked the side of Jewel's face.
I don't know if we're in a garden,
or on a crowded avenue.
Blu took his wing, from Jewel's face, and back onto her back. Jewel smiled at Blu, and rested the side of her head, on his chest, and closed her eyes, humming to the song, and enjoying the moment.
You are here
So am I
Maybe millions of people go by,
but they all disappear from view.
And I Only Have Eyes For You.
The two lovebirds continued to dance, in each other's wings, and enjoyed the rest of their day.
