It was a sunny morning in Rio, and the other birds were chirping along happily without a care in the world. Crystal was just waking up. She looked over and the twins were sound asleep still. Rafael and Eva would be home soon.
Crystal guessed they would be back around noon. She decided to go get some food. She flew to a nearby mango tree and got 1 mango. Half for her, and half for the twins.
When she got back twins were still sound asleep. She cut the mango the way Jewel did, right from the side. When she finished she cut the twins slice into two, so they had their own. Crystal ate her slice of the mango.
When she finished the twins woke up. By the look in their eyes she knew they were hungry. She gave them their slices of mangoes. They dug in. when they finished they decided to tackle Crystal.
"Hey what are you.." Crystal began. The Avory sat on her while Andy was jumping up and down. It hurt real bad, but she managed to maintain a smile. Eventually Avory got up and jumped off her, but he fell backwards on her. Andy jumped off of her.
Crystal got up immediately. She was surprised how energetic they got in the morning. She looked down and didnt see the twins anywhere. She panicked and looked all over the hollow, but nothing.
She looked outside, and sure enough, there they were. They were both on The forest floor. Avory was chewing on the stem of a flower, and Andy was rolling around in the grass.
Crystal looked for a moment. She flew down and took the stem outof avory's mouth, and she picked up andy. "Now you birds shouldn't be doing things like that." Crystal said. Avory bit Crystal's wing. "Ow!" Crystal said. Andy bit her other wing, causing her to drop him.
Crystal flinched for a moment, then Avory and Andy tackled her. Crystal tried to get up but they kept jmping on her. Crystal moved over a bit, and Avory tripped, causing Andy to fall. While they where down, Crystal picked them up with her talons, and flew back to the hollow.
She sat the both down. She glared at them. They both looked down sadly. "That wasnt very nice you know, you couldve hurt somebird." She began. She saw their sad faces. Crystal stopped glaring. They were only chicks, they didnt know any better.
Crystal then said, "Its ok, you dont have to be sad, you didnt know." Crystal said. The twins looked at her, then smiled. They gave her a big hug. Crystal hugged them back.
The next few hours were fun. Crystal played with Avory and Andy for a while. A little after noon Eva and Rafael returned. "Were back!" Rafael said. Crystal looked up. "Oh hi!" She said. "Were the twins any trouble?" Eva asked. Crystal looked at Avory and Andy. "They were little angels."
Crystal said. "Well thanks for looking after them Crystal." Rafael said. Crystal waved goodbye, but right before she left Avory and Andy were right there and they had something to say. "Bye." Avory said. "Crystal." Andy said. Crystal smiled. "Bye Avory and Andy." She said, and flew off.
