I woke up in a small room, two people stood near me talking. One was the girl I had seen earlier and the other was a male with glasses. i quickly stood up and tried to open my wings, but found a bandage wrapped around it. Then it only got worse, I saw the people turn around and look at me and from an open window five birds flew in. Three of them I already knew Nico, Pedro, and Raphael, the other two were blue macaws. They landed in front of me and I rolled my eyes at them.
"What you guys want" I asked glaring at them.
"Well, for one we want to know your name, and two we feel bad about thinking you were a bird that just likes to steal things from others" Pedro said.
"Fine. I'm Trixie, but you have to call me Trix, and I never said I didn't enjoy stealing things. Anyways, why do you care" I say glaring at them threateningly.
Nico gulped loudly and replied "because of your past, we uh, feel bad for you, and because your hurt".
My mind immediately flashes back to the dream I had. I shake my head as the male human reaches down to grab me. He sets his hand on the table for me to climb onto it, but instead I nipped him and tried to fly off. I had barely made it to the window before my wing would no longer let me fly. I muttered something under my breath and jumped off the window.
Behind me I heard "Linda, I don't think she wants our help".
"Really, I thought was for sure she would want our help after she bit you" Linda said to the man.
The blue macaws came out and landed on the ground next to me.
"I'm Jewel and this is Blu, you know we just want to help you, especially Nico, he felt the most bad about what had happened" Jewel said "why don't we help you get to your place".
I sigh "right, the one who sings all those stupid songs, and no I can take care of myself" but then I freeze realizing that I couldn't fly sighing I nodded my head "fine I'll except the help to get to my place",
When we arrived at my hut i entered and looked around. Everything except the wire in my house was gone, they had taken their stuff back. Everyone had gone except Nico who had told everyone that he would catch up. I sat there looking at him until, I finally asked if he actually cared about me. I looked up at him and he nodded his head.
"Yeah" he said blushing "do you actually think the songs I sing are stupid".
"No, it's just, There was one bird that I knew. She was really good friends with my mother, turns out my mother writes a lot of the songs you sing. Every time I hear one of her songs, it just reminds me of all the years i spent without her." I reply looking down "but, I will say, you are a pretty good singer" I smile at him.
We sit in silence for a while until I speak up, "Nico, you have friends that care about you. What's that like" I ask blushing.
"It's great, and we have a lot of fun when we hang out. Are you saying you've never had a friend before?"
I look up embarrassed, he laughs and tells he me that he has to go. I wave goodbye and lay down on my cloak. Smiling, I fell into a dreamless sleep. The next morning I woke to the light pouring in through the single window. I hop up eating a few berries the Jewel had given me and walk out of the hut and into the market place. I looked at the club and entered it, seeing Nico and Pedro up on stage singing. I smiled as I saw Nico glace my way as he finished his song.
"Hey, everybody we have a new bird here and let's have her come up and sing us a song" Nico said flying over to me and dragging me up to the stage.
I was on stage and I glared at Nico but he just smiled and flew into the crowd. So, I looked at everyone and started to sing.
Was only just the other day
It all just felt so real
Like nothing could go wrong
Was like a never ending dream
Nothing ever changed, for so long
But now you've gone away
And I've tried turning the page
And it's just not the same
But I'm breathing in, and I'm breathing out
I'm wide awake, but I can't hear a sound
Though I'm breathing in, I can't think about
Another you, another me, another now
Where do I go from here?
I've never felt so strange
I've never felt so torn
Cause ever since you came my way
I learned to live by you
And now I'm on my own
I know I need some time
To leave all this behind
Cause I'm still hanging on
But I'm breathing in, and I'm breathing out
I'm wide awake, but I can't hear a sound
Though I'm breathing in, I can't think about
Another you, another me, another now
I'm sitting here, I'm all alone
Don't wanna move, nowhere to go
Cause nothing's real
I just wanna hide
Cause you're not here
But I'm breathing in, and I'm breathing out
I'm wide awake, but I can't hear a sound
I'm breathing in, and I'm breathing out
I'm wide awake, but I can't hear a sound
Though I'm breathing in, I can't think about
Another you, another me, another now
Oh ho
Another you, another me, another now
The crowd cheered and I blushed walking back into the crowd. Pedro came up to me and told me how great my singing was, as did everyone else. I smiled and denied the fact that my singing was good. I had never sang before, and it wasn't exactly the best time of my life. I laughed as Nico smiled at me.
"I knew that you would be great" he said.
I blushed "oh, so that was your plan. You wanted to know if I could sing" I say.
He smirked and nodded, "and now that I know you can sing with me anytime" he said twirling me around.
"Hey, don't push your luck. We aren't exactly friends" I say pushing him away.
"Well, I wish we could be" he says causing me to freeze up.
"What? Your kidding, I don't know to be a friend" I say confused.
