Chapter 3: Second Encounter

Jewel wasn't being attacked at all. After Blu realised what was happening, and a few awkward moments of silence and staring, he spoke up.

"Okay, erm.. WH… WHAT?" He exclaimed after clearing his throat.

"Look Blu.." Jewel's worried voice was cut off by Nathan.

"Hey, Hey it's okay, I'll handle this" Jewel stared at him with an angry look but let him continue.

"Look, pal, mate, buddy… It's not like you were ever gonna bang her anyway" Nathan said, matter-of-factly, Jewel face palmed (Or winged, whatever works for ya). Blu's jaw dropped wider, and he held up his wing.

"Hey, I happen, to be a very respected bird around here, and you know…" Nathan cut him off with a scoff.

"Typical Rio, Respects a suspected paedophile, yet doesn't do anything about all the poachers and shit?"

Blu would of liked to punch his lights out there and then, but remembered Jewel, how would she react? First she hated him, next she was doing him!

"I'm NOT, a paedophile" remarked Blu.

"Hey I'm not judging!"

"Jewel, can, can I speak to you for a sec?" Blu asked, calm, but still not taking his furious eyes of Nathans smug but strangely friendly ones.

"Yeah… no problem Blu" The pair walked into Blu's corner and pulled forward the leaves.

"He has to go!" Blu whispered loudly to jewel, then they heard Nathan speak.

"I'm Out here but I'm not deaf" Blu turned back to Jewel.

"Look Blu, everything that's happened now… its just been all… mental! I don't know why I slept with him…" Jewel sighed as she sat down. Blu joined her.

"it's just that… I've been so stressed…" Jewel placed her head in her wings.

"Why are you confessing to me? Like he said, we're not… we're not together…" Said Blu as he stared towards the ground. Jewel put her wing around him, surprised at the gesture, he brightened up.

"No, but we're friends" Jewel said with a smile.

"And you can't deny, he's a charming bird… when he's not being a dick that is.

"So he's never a charming bird then?"! Blu quickly responded. They both giggled, but then Jewel's face turned serious.

"Blu, he is a bit weird but…" Jewel was cut off.

"A bit?"

"Yes but that's what I'm saying, all he's had for the past 11 years is, well, girls, no family, no real friends"

"Can't imagine why" Blu retorted.

"How do you know its 11 anyway?"

"He told me that's how old he is, apparently he was taken from here when he was a only a few months old. Anyway, what I'm saying is… we need to help him, you know, get back on his feet"

"Gonna have a tough job after what I heard in there" Blu mumbled

"What?"

"Nothing"

Jewel pulled back the leaves to find Nathan sitting not so far away staring at the entrance.

"Oh, back are ya? Listen you two are screwed! Someone gave me this." Nathan handed Jewel a piece of A6 paper.

"Oh my god… Where did you get this?" Jewel snapped.

"Some guy in a padded suit, but I'd hurry though, he was a quick little bastard!"

"What is it, Jewel?" Blu asked, but looked up to find jewel bolting out the entrance, he soon followed.

"Jewel!" he shouted as he slipped through the hole.

"I'm not missing this!" Exclaimed Nathan as he followed Blu.

"Jewel!" Blu shouted as he caught up to Jewel.

"Shh!" Jewel snapped.

"He doesn't know we're following him, maybe we can find out where he lives."

"Oh good idea" Blu complimented as Nathan caught up.

"Nathan be quiet or go back! We're gonna find out where this guy lives" Jewel explained.

"I'm not going back, babe, I've seen this guy around too, he saved me from a raptor, he's a little bastard!" Nathan said.

"Fine, and I'm not your babe!" The three stealthily followed the mysterious bird.

They hung back a bit, and spotted the bird going into a tree hollow. So they approached…

They had to round a few trees and corners to reach the one the bird went in, and when they got there, he wasn't there.

"Well, that was a waste of time" Jewel remarked.

"Oh no it wasn't" Nathan replied,

"What do you mean?"

"I'm gonna take a shit in his nest"

"I really, don't think that's a good idea." Blu remarked.

"Well he shouldn't be interfering with our lives, besides, they did it in The Godfather"

There was a silence before Blu replied slowly.

"They put a horses head in the bed."

There was another silence.

"Oh well" Nathan shrugged as he squatted down over the nest.

"Oh god" Said Jewel as Nathan Grimaced, they both turned around to search through the belongings of the bird while Nathan was groaning behind them.

"Hang on a second…"

"What?" Blu asked, Nathan was still heaving.

"This is all girls stuff, I mean look at this leaf, only a girl would wear this" Jewel held out a beautiful purple looking leaf.

"This isn't his home, he must've known we were following him" Blu figured.

"Awe, are you kidding? Damn… I shat in the wrong nest…"

"Come on, we better go" Blu suggested, the two agreed, and they flew back to the nest, and they were all being watched…

Back At The Hollow…

"Hey Jewel, what was the piece of paper he gave us?" Blu asked, Jewel sighed as she handed him the piece of paper which had the words, "I KNOW" written at the bottom, and above them, an image of the dead bird…
