Deleted chapter from Rio the series 3
On this chapter, Blu and Jewel were injured after they were playing around in the Jungle together and now it will be a while before they recover.
"Ow, ooooooh. The pain." a male Blue Macaw grunted, in agonising pain.
"I can't feel my wing." his wife complained.
The two lovebirds Blu and Jewel were both laying on separate tables in Tulio's aviary. They were both in agonising pain due to the fact they were having fun until they got sidetracked and both ended up injuring themselves.
Blu had hurt broken both of his talons, his left wing was scratched, and his head was spinning like crazy.
Jewel had only her stomach which was scratched, her wing was scratched too, and like Blu, her head was spinning too.
Tulio had then walked into the private room he had put them since they were rare with two other ornithologists with him. He hummed as he checked their injuries so he knew what to do, and what to treat them with.
"Hmmm, broken talons, clawed wing, and dizzy spells." Tulio said, examining Blu's injuries. He then turned back to Jewel and began to examine her injuries too. "Hmmm, clawed stomach, clawed wing, and dizzy spells. You guys are in bad shape. It will take me a while to get you guys fixed-up."
Tulio then beckoned for the other two orthologists to injected the Blue Macaws with a sedative to put them to sleep.
Blu struggled a little to move as the doctor injected the sedative into him which he knew would soon put him to sleep. The last thing he saw was Tulio picked up a small operation knife before falling into darkness.
A few hours later, Blu was beginning to finally wake up after a deep long sleep. He blinked his eyes a couple of times and looked to his left where he could see Jewel with bandages wrapped around her stomach, wing, and forehead.
It didn't take Blu long to realise he too had bandages wrapped around his left wing, both his talons, and all around his head. He tried to get back up, but his injuries held him down.
He was then accompanied by Tulio and Linda, who had been waiting the entire time.
Tulio placed his hand on Blu to keep him from doing anything stupid. "Relax Blu. It's okay. I healed all of yours and Jewel's injuries. You're going to make a full recovery, but it's going to take time."
"That's why you and Jewel are going to stay with me until your better." Linda said smiling, placing her finger under Blu's chin and scratching it softly with his finger.
Tulio then helped Blu up to see if he could stand, but due to his talons being broken, he could not walk yet. He sat Blu back down on the table gently so he wouldn't hurt him any further. "Sorry, Blu. But you're not going to be able to walk yet."
"Not walk yet." Blu repeated, his chocolate brown eyes wide open. "Then how am I going to be able to get around?"
Tulio could tell by Blu's face he was puzzled. And lucky for him, he had an answer to Blu's problem. Tulio he beckoned for Linda to give him something, and when she had gave it to him, Tulio revealed it to Blu. It was a small bird-sized wheelchair for Blu.
Blu frowned in response, as he could not believe he was going to have to use a wheelchair to get around for a few weeks. "Oh, you have got to be kidding me. I have to use that thing for a while."
Tulio and Linda could tell Blu was annoyed and upset about having to use that wheelchair for a while.
"Oh, come on, Blu. It's not that bad." Tulio said, placing the small wheelchair next to Blu, and then he placed his hands around Blu to help him sit down. He placed Blu in the small wheelchair to let him try it out.
Blu examined the small wheelchair and used his good and bad wing to make himself move by pushing the wheels. "I feel so ridiculous in this thing. Oh, this is so embarrassing."
"I think we'll leave you two alone for a few minutes." Linda said, as she and Tulio left the private room to give the lovebirds a bit of privacy.
After they were gone, Blu used his wings to turn the wheelchair around to see Jewel, who was still sleeping peacefully. He placed a wing under his chin and sighed. "This is great; no flying, no walking for weeks, and I have to sit in this thing for a while."
A couple of hours later, the two lovebirds had been taken to Linda's bookstore to recover and rest until they were better, which will take a while. Linda had just finished taking Blu and Jewel to the guest bedroom upstairs, and now she had left them alone for privacy.
The guest bedroom wasn't really that big. It had a single bed, a TV, and window, and a couple of shelves with some DVD's. And now it was Blu and Jewel's home to live in for a few weeks.
Jewel, who was laying down on the center of the bed, sighed as she placed her wings behind the back of her neck. "I can't believe we have to stay in here for weeks."
Blu, who was on the small table next to the bed and was sitting in his wheelchair, countered Jewel's sentence with his own. "Hey, at least you can walk. I have to use this thing when I want to move."
"Stop whining, and come over here." Jewel said, waving a wing over for Blu to come over.
"If you so." Blu frowned, using his wings to push himself closer to the bed. He got down from the wheelchair and got onto the bed and used his wings to crawl his way over to Jewel. He got close to her and laid down on the bed with her.
Jewel then sighed, already bored due to the fact she had nothing to do. But lucky for her, Blu was there, and he always had plenty of things to do. "Blu, before you met me, what did you do at Linda's everyday?"
Blu had never thought Jewel would ask a question like that, but decided to answer anyway. "Well, there's quite a few things to do. We can play games, watch TV, go on the computer. There's plenty of things to do."
"Well, I'm bored." Jewel sighed, as she eyed the TV that was all the way by the end of the room. "Blu, can you turn on the TV?"
"Jewel, the remotes all the way by the table." Blu whine. "Why can't you get it"
"I've just got comfy." Jewel replied.
"But I can't walk." Blu countered.
Jewel sighed in response and stood back up to go and get the remote. She picked up the remote in her wings and walked back over to the bed. Jewel laid down and passed the remote to Blu. "You turn it on, Blu. I don't know how to work it."
"Yes, your highness." Blu sarcastically replied, while pressing down on the on/off button to turn on the TV.
The TV turned on and the channel was a video of a documentary about the Jungle. Something that both Blu and Jewel could enjoy. Blu liked documentaries, and Jewel liked the Jungle.
The lovebirds sighed as Jewel placed her good wing over Blu and snuggled close to him. Since they were going to be there for a while, the best thing they could do was enjoy themselves until it was time for them to recover.
Later that day, it was dinner time, and time for the injured lovebirds to eat. To make things easier for them, Linda was going to bring their food up so they could rest and gather their strength back.
Blu and Jewel were both sitting on the bed together, waiting for their dinner to arrive.
Blu chuckled while he rubbed his wings together. "Oh, boy. Dinner's almost here, Jewel."
"What are we having for dinner?" Jewel inquired.
"Well, for me, Linda's making me some salad, and she's going to bring some mangoes for you." Blu answered, placing his wing behind the back of his head. "Doesn't that sound great?"
"I guess." Jewel said, but secretly was trying not to drool over the sweet taste of mangoes. "Mmmm. mangoes. All for me."
At almost perfect timing, the door opened, and it was Linda, carrying a tray in her hands with the Blue Macaws' dinner. Linda smiled as she set the tray down and picked up the plate of mangoes for Jewel, and the plastic box of salad for Blu.
"Here you go, guys." Linda said, as she set the food down in front of the lovebirds. "Salad for you, Blu. And Mangoes for you, Jewel."
The Blue Macaws squawked as a thank you and looked at their dinner.
Linda walked back over to the door, but before she left, Linda took out her cellphone and took a picture of Blu and Jewel together to keep. She cooed and said one more thing before walking out of the room. "You two look so cute together."
After she was gone, Blu and Jewel began to dig into their dinner.
Jewel eat her mangoes, and the sweet taste of it's juiciness in her beak. However, she could not be ore curious to what Blu was eating. Jewel finished her first mango and decided to ask Blu what he was eating. "Blu, what are you eating?"
"It's salad, Jewel." Blu said, swallowing another salad down his throat. He got a piece of salad and offered it to Jewel. "Here, try some."
"Oh, no thanks, Blu." Jewel replied.
"Come on, try some." Blu tried to offer a second time.
Blu began to chase Jewel a little using his wings to crawl, and Jewel wasn't well enough to move first. "Come, on, Jewel."
"No, Blu!"
"Come on!"
"No, Blu. Stop!"
The two lovebirds laughed a little as Blu tried to get Jewel to eat the salad. Eventually, he used one of his wings to pin her down, and managed to place it in her beak.
Jewel swallowed the piece of salad, and she had to admit, it was tasty. She leaned back up and smiled at her husband. "Wow, that was quite tasty. Mmmm, yummy."
"Told you it was good." Blu said smiling, while he tried to crawl his way back over to his dinner.
"Here, let me help you." Jewel said, placing her wing around him and helping Blu get back over to their dinner.
The lovebirds got back to their dinner and finished the rest of their salad and mangoes until there was nothing left, and they were completely full. They both laid back down on the top of their bed by the pillow and decided it was time for bed soon.
Blu and Jewel got under the blanket together and snuggled together. Jewel laid her head down near Blu's chest, and Blu rested his head down on top of Jewel's head and smiled.
They bidden each other goodnight and were now sleeping peacefully. They nuzzled each other playfully in their sleep, and even though they were still in a little pain, they could cope as long as they had their love to protect them.
The next morning, Blu had woken up earlier than usual. He blinked his eyes a couple of times to see the lovely Jewel still sleeping peacefully. He planted a kiss on her head before he used his wings to get out of the bed and into the small wheelchair.
Blu sat down on the wheelchair and used his wings to move the wheelchair over to the door, which was slightly open-lucky for Blu. He continued to make his way over to the stairs, and now he had to figure out how to get down.
"Hmmmm, this is gonna be a little tricky." Blu thought, trying to think of a clever tactic he could use to get down the stairs without injuring himself further. Blu then had a idea, it was full-proof.
Blu made his way back into the guest room where he found some rope. He tied it to the top of the stairs handle, and with one quick pull, he launched himself down the stairs, holding onto the rope as his wheelchair rapidly went down the stairs like a rollercoaster.
Before he made to the bottom of the stairs, he yanked on the rope which slowed him down and stopped him on the last step. Blu grinned and began moving the wheelchair into the bookstore where he could see Linda-who was also up early-drinking a cup of coffee and reading a newspaper.
Blu squawked to get Linda's full attention which worked easily.
Linda put down the coffee and paper and picked up Blu and his little wheelchair and placed him on the desk table. "Good morning, Blu. Wait, how did you get down the stairs?"
Blu squawked and pointed his good wing to the stairs where the rope was.
Linda smiled and stroked Blu's head softly with her finger. "You're full of surprises, Tyler Blu Gunderson. Now, would you like some breakfast?"
"Oh, boy, would I." Blu replied, but to Linda it was just a squawk.
Linda stood up and prepared to go upstairs to to kitchen where she could make Blu his breakfast with his favorite cereal Fruity Krunch. She walked away, leaving Blu all alone.
After she was gone, Blu heard tapping on the outside window. He looked up to see his three children, and a familiar black hawk knocking on the window. Blu beckoned for them to come inside by flying through the open window.
The three blue macaw kids cheered as the hugged their daddy, missing him. "Daddy!"
"Hehe, hey there, kids." Blu greeted, hugging all of the kids in his good and bad wing. "Are you having fun with your Uncle Rico?"
"Yeah." Rey, Azul, and Crystal replied, simultaneously together.
Rico landed down on the desk with Blu and looked at the small wheelchair Blu was sitting in. "What's with the wheelchair, Blu?"
Blu set his kids down out of his wings and answered Blu's question. "Oh, I can't walk until my talons are fixed. So I have to use this thing to get around for a while."
"Right." Rico skeptically said.
"I know, it's kind of embarrassing." Blu chuckled, leaning back on the wheelchair. "So, what brings you here?"
"You're kids wanted to see you and Jewel." Rico said, until he then realized there was no sign of the lovely Jewel anywhere. "Where is Jewel?"
"She's still sleeping." Blu answered. "I wouldn't wake her up. I did that once, and she responded by choking me."
Rico chuckled in response and flew back into the air with the blue macaw kids. "Well, I think we should be going. Come on, kids."
Blu watched his friend and children fly away out of the bookstore using the same open window they used to get in. Blu sighed in response, but he was soon happy when he saw Linda had returned with a bowl of cereal in her hand. "Oh, goody. My favorite."
Linda set the cereal down next to Blu, and was about to give it to him. She then got a spoon she had also brought and tried to put them in Blu's beak. "Blu, no breakfast until you take your vitamins."
"Oh, no. Not the vitamins." Blu whinnied, as he dodged the spoon each time Linda tried to give them to him.
Linda then lifted up her free hand and tickled Blu's belly, making him laugh and knocking him from his concentration. She quickly put them in his beak and watched him swallow them horribly.
"Erg!" Blu groaned. "It's horrible."
Linda chuckled in response and stroked Blu's head with her hand. "Now you can eat your cereal."
Blu used his wings to push himself over to the bowl and picked up the spoon next to it. But he then realized a problem: Blu usually held his spoon with his talon, and he can't use either of his talons at the moment. "Linda!" he cried out.
Linda turned her attention to Blu and could see he was struggling to eat. She picked up the spoon and got some cereal on the spoon and began to feed Blu. She remembered feeding Blu a bottle when he was just a baby, and now it was like the same thing all over again.
Blu enjoyed the cereal each time Linda fed him his food into his beak. "Hmmm, yummy. I love Krunchy Fruit!"
After he was done eating, Linda picked Blu up in her hands and prepared to take him back to his bed but she sniffed him and groaned when she discovered Blu stinked. "Blu, you need to have a bath."
Blu then got happy as he loved having a nice relaxing bath. "Oh, boy. A bath."
Linda took Blu back to the guest bedroom and srt him and his wheelchair down on the bed. She then left to go and run Blu a bath.
When she was gone, Blu turned around to see Jewel was awake, and had been waiting for him for a while. He sat back down on the wheelchair and made his way over to Jewel to greet her good morning. "Good morning, Jewel."
"Morning, Blu." Jewel replied, as Blu finally got over to her. "Where have you been?"
"Just having some breakfast." Blu answered, as he got off the wheelchair and sat next to Jewel. "And guess what-we're going to have a nice warm bath together."
"A warm bath?" Jewel said, cocking her head to the side in confusion. "Water can be warm?"
Blu could not believe that Jewel had never even heard of a bath. He decided to answer her question either way. "Yeah, humans can do that. Linda's just running the bath now. It's going to be great!"
"I guess." Jewel said, rubbing the back of her neck with her wing.
A few minutes later, it was bath time for the two lovebirds. Linda had wrapped small plastic bags around them where their bandages were so they didn't get them wet.
The two blue macaws were relaxing in the warm relaxing bath.
To Blu, this was just another day having a bath, but for Jewel, it had have to been the best bath she had ever had. She would usually only have baths in the ponds back in the Jungle, but now that they are living in the bookstore for a while, she will have to have baths in a bathtub from now on.
"Wow. This is so relaxing." Jewel sighed in relaxation, while closing her eyes.
"Yeah, it's nice, isn't it?" Blu replied, splashing water over himself with his right wing.
Jewel opened her eyes and looked back over at her husband. She had to tell him that even though they will be living here for a while, she had to admit it would not be so bad. "Blu, even though we're going to be here for a while-I guess I can make due."
"That's great to hear, Jewel." Blu grinned, as he laid his head back down in the water. "That's great to hear."
Poor Blu and Jewel having to suffer from bad injuries. At least they can cope with not being able to live in the Jungle for a while.
And I will update the deleted chapters as soon as I can find them all. Because they are all lost somewhere in my documents.
