The Best Way To Relax The Mind: Part 1

Arika, you were the one who started trolling and throwing unnecessary abuse towards me for no reason. So I just made it clear that if you carried on then you'd only be embarrassing yourself. Because I don't feel threatened or upset by your childish petty little comments. And now you claim that I am worse than Adolf Hitler? A dictator who slaughtered over thousands of innocent people? You really are a horrible person, and if you can't take the heat you need to get out of the kitchen. Now please stop wasting my time with petty trolling. Because my time is not worth wasting on you. P.S If you want to know how to review properly, at least learn how to spell first.

As for you Jameson, yes I did say that your character wouldn't die at first. But you know exactly why I changed my mind. And don't even try to think of an excuse or deny it, because I was so respectful and kind to your characters. Until you pushed my buttons and that's the end result. Jameson's death in my story. So you should ask who's being the real jerk here, because it certainly isn't me!

To everyone else aside from Arika and Jameson, I apologise for having to keep getting it through to their thick skulls. But if they don't want to listen, then that's their problem! Anyway…I bet you may have searched this on your internet history once or twice before in your life right? Right? Haha! But in all seriousness, after the events of the last chapter…RDJ will be raging after standing up to his father for the first time in his life. Nico has food poisoning and is absolutely wrecked in the men's bathroom. As for a…certain scarlet macaw…she will now be moving onto the second part of her to do list. But what else were her and Fred planning? Hmmm…I guess you'll have to find out soon!

Lillian had no choice but to wait outside the men's bathroom while Nico was throwing up. Because she couldn't go into the mens to help him without being looked at as some cheap bimbo who has sex with men in public places.

Unbeknownst to her knowledge that it was Samantha who had paid a chef to undercook his dinner to give him food poisoning. So she can move onto the next phase of the plan…so she could get what she wants…as well as Fred getting what he wanted.

But we aren't going to start here…we will be seeing how our favourite blue and gold man RDJ is getting on. After he had stormed out of the restaurant, words couldn't express the amount of hurt in his heart. So hurt that he couldn't stop himself from cursing. "That fucking asshole! He wanted me to sign over the rights?! He's my fucking father! Piece of shit!" He grabbed a bottle and threw it in the recycling bag. Despite being rather annoyed that was a pretty good shot.

Lila didn't want to interrupt him at first, because she wanted him to let all of his anger out by ranting.

"I don't get why he has to be such a prick! Not just to me! But also my mom! My mom meant everything to me! And he couldn't give two fucking shits about her! I HATE HIM! Ahhhhh!" He kicked a glass bottle and it actually smashed against the curb and he continued walking along. As he was doing everything possible to calm himself. But nothing was working.

"Hey…it'll be okay? Listen…you don't need him in your life. You have achieved so much in your life…and you can't dedicate that success to your father or brother? Because you did that all on your own." Lila cooed sweetly, whilst she was rubbing his forearm. In return he wrapped his arm around her, as she laid her head on his shoulder lovingly.

"I'm sorry for my behaviour back in the restaurant Lila. I just…" She sweetly cut him off, placing one of her hands on his pounding chest. That had been thumping violently, due to his beast rate speeding up.

"Hey…you've got nothing to be sorry for! I really mean it." Lowering his gaze to look into her eyes, he felt a few tear drops on his feet. Because it was indeed his girlfriend who was crying.

"Hey? Why are you crying?" He cooed in confusion, gradually moving his hand up and down her back to calm her down.

"B-Because you are…Sniff…Such a good p-p-person RDJ! And you are not to blame for any of this! How could they be…Sniff…So cruel to you!" She sobbed softly, rubbing her cheek up against his chest as he wrapped both his arms around her in a warm embrace.

"Please don't be sad Lila. This was always going to happen one day or another. No matter what…my brother is never going to change. My dad is never going to change. But me? I grew stronger because of my mom! And because I took care of myself!" He lifted her head up with his hand gently. Wiping her tears away with his hand, before running his fingers through her hair. As she closes her eyes in relaxation. "And since the day you walked into my life…I have felt more like my old happy self…than I have ever done in the past 7 years…and it's all because of how you make me feel."

"Awwww RDJ! You really are gonna make me cry more…" Lila cooed as they passionately kissed each other on the beak.

Both of them felt like their lives were obviously very stressful in some cases. But in moments like this one especially…they didn't care about what anyone says about them. Whether others choose to judge them. Or even try and be horrible to each other non stop. They just wanted to be in each other's company.

But just as they separated from the kiss…Lila felt a strong grip on her hair. Like someone took hold of it in a tight fist…and they yanked her away from the muscular man. Who was shocked by this sudden interruption.

"WHAT THE…" Lila was shrieking in pain as her hair was being pulled, until a clump of her hair got pulled out of her scalp by the attacker. Who was none other than the one bird she hated encountering. "SAMANTHA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

"Awwwww! You lose something princess?" The scarlet girl giggled so cockily, before throwing the hair on the floor and spitting on it. "Pffft! There you go! Now you are the real you!"

Lila was panicking out loud, because she took her appearance very seriously. But RDJ thought it best just to lead her away from the scarlet female. Just to avoid any more unnecessary fights.

"What is your problem Samantha?! Will you please just leave us be?" RDJ demanded, as his girlfriend was now crying her eyes out…now that her hair was messy. So you can imagine how highly insecure she was feeling about herself right now. "You have been nothing but a heartless fake bitch since we've met. So why continue to just be this way for no reason?"

"Oh come on big boy? I just came here to show you what you'd be getting?" Samantha pressed her huge fake boobs up against his muscular chest. And rubbed them on him to tease him. And despite the fact that he was in a relationship…he wasn't backing off. Due to him trying to reason with her. "You like?" She batted her eyelashes playfully and poured her beak. This didn't effect his decision at all.

"Samantha…stop! I don't want to have anything with you whatsoever! Please just leave us alone! I'm not gonna ask you again!" He angrily spoke and put his hand on her shoulder and pushed her away from him. "This will go down as abuse and sexual harassment if you continue!"

"Mmmmm…playing hard to get huh? Well…I do know how to get a guy hard!" Samantha batted her eyelashes and actually lifted up her top. So you could see how big and huge her nipples and breasts were. But as RDJ felt uncomfortable and turned away from her…she only upped the ante. "Hmmmm…not enough? Maybe I should compare!"

Samantha marched up to Lila and grabbed her by the sweater and ripped a huge hole in it. Which caused her to get really upset and punched Samantha in the face to stop her.

"YOU…LITTLE…BITCH!" The scarlet female aggressively grabbed her by her sweater again, and this time made the hole bigger. Then Lila was slapping her to get her off, she also grabbed her by the shirt and ripped that near where her boobs were. And soon Lila immediately began shaking uncomfortably…feeling absolutely traumatic after this fight.

"Awwww…and I was right! Look how small they are compared to mine! Awwww…you gonna cry some more?" Samantha mocked her even more and even began moving her breasts up and down to mock her.

"SAMANTHA! LEAVE HER ALONE!" Soon, a new voice had entered the conversation. And it was actually pretty surprising to see…that a certain robin female had entered the scene.

"Awwww look who it is? Lizzie the LOSER!"

"Better to be a loser than a fake bitch! You better not come near me, or I'll pop your boobs with my fingernails!" She stood up to her aggressively, despite the fact that she was only 5ft 2.

RDJ also stood by her side standing up to the bully…who only stood there and narrowed her eyes at them.

"Hehehe! That's okay, I already got what I came for!" Samantha spun around and swished her hips from side to side. Skipping away so cockily, that it made RDJ's blood boil in infuriation.

"Bloody hell! What a bitch!" RDJ remarked as Lizzie nodded her head in agreement. "Thank you Lizzie. I appreciate you doing that for us." He patted her on the shoulder and went to help his girlfriend up. Who was so upset that she kept touching her hair near where her hair had been pulled out.

"It's no problem at all! Femi told me that I am through to the semi final by default? So I wanted to come and thank you. But then obviously I saw her trying to terrorise you." The female robin rolled her brown eyes.

"That bitch…messed up my fucking hair!" After a few minutes has passed on, Lila finally had some energy to speak up after the brief encounter with her most hated rival. And she was shaking anxiously when feeling how sore the left hand side of her scalp was. "Does it…Does it look bad?"

"Let me see! You need a woman's perspective here." Lizzie stepped up to help the poor lilac girl in need.

The lilac girl turned around and revealed the side of her scalp where the hair had been ripped out. She examined it quite closely whilst rubbing her chin…plotting some ideas in her head on at to do in this situation.

"Hmmm, it's not so bad actually!"

"It isn't?" Lila asked in a hopeful tone.

"Nope! She only got the top clumps from the back of your hair so it's easily fixable. Listen, I have experience in cutting and styling hair. So I can fix your hair in as little as fifteen minutes. So you would need to come back to my apartment." Lizzie insisted whist she pulled out her cell phone to call a cab.

"Oh really? But…what about my sweater? My mum got me this sweater for when I went through art school! Now it's ruined!" She sadly mumbled…noticing her sweater had a huge hole right in the centre now. Along with her shirt that had a huge tear near the top of her breasts, which she was covering when crossing her arms to stop people from staring at her.

"I can help with that." RDJ instantly thought of an idea, by immediately taking off his shirt and he immediately began to wrap it around his girlfriend. So that her chest was covered and as he was quite a muscular guy, she did manage to button up the shirt a little. But the top 2 buttons she had to leave undone due to how big her boobs were. "There, now I will take your sweater to my place. Luckily my mom taught me a thing or two about sewing. So I may have a few tricks up my sleeve."

"Awwww! You see? This is why you are amazing! You do so much for me." She dreamily gazed into his eyes, and he gave her a kiss on the cheek. Making her giggle and blush.

"Shall we meet up at the private beach later on this evening? I can get Leona and Sandro to bring us a few beers?"

"Sounds good! See you later handsome!" Lila winked at him playfully while she did a girly laugh with Lizzie as they begun gossiping about the man.

RDJ shook his head and chuckled lightly to himself, before taking the sweater and walked toward his house to sew up the old sweater.

Now Let's Check On Lillian And Nico…

"Are you okay in there?" The female canary peered her head into the men's restroom, to see Nico standing up against the sink. Feeling really relieved after he had thrown up the dinner he had eaten.

"Ughhh…Honestly…I feel like I've just eaten a skunk's butt, and then ingested the spray." He was referring to the disgusting thing that skunks tend to spray at you when feeling threatened. "Oooh…I can taste the bile…"

"Oooh good! That means you've emptied your stomach contents. Now let's just get you home."

"I'm sorry about cutting the date short Lillian! I promise that I'll make it up to you!"

"You don't need to apologise for anything. It's…" Lillian was about to finish her sentence, but then she was rudely cut off by the restaurant's co owner.

"Alright, you need to leave! You've already injured a waiter, stunk up the men's bathroom, and now you are making the other customers uncomfortable! You are already treading on thin ice young lady!" Eva put a hand on her hip, as security were called over to take her outside.

"Hey! Your chef in there gave my friend food poisoning! That's why he's puking in there. So you can't talk about causing trouble!" Lillian defended her date with pride, once he slipped out the bathroom putting a hand on his stomach.

"How dare you! Do you have any idea who…"

"Alright Eva just back off okay? She didn't mean it. It was a complete accident. Stop being so rude to my lovely date this evening." Nico plucked up enough energy he had after his little incident…and he took Lillian's hand.

As both of them had pink cheeks after he had escorted her away from the commotion, and outside the restaurant as quickly as possible. Just to avoid any more awkward glances from those they didn't know.

"Jeez, can you believe that woman? What is her problem with you?" Nico was puzzled at why Eva was annoyed with his date. "Did you do something to that waiter on purpose?"

"Ummmm…Ughhh…I…" She didn't want to admit what she was really thinking about when knocking the waiter over the bannisters. So she quickly decided to change the subject. "Hey did you see that creepy pervert who was masturbating in the corner of the restaurant over the waitress with the big boobs?"

"Oh that black owl guy? Yeah that guy was such a creep! It's weird but…I always find that black owls are very very creepy people. Mostly the men, the women are okay."

"I agree, but you better not say that too loud."

"Why's that?"

"Cos that's kinda racist? I mean, you wouldn't want people abusing our species would you?" Lillian giggled as they held hands, walking down to the beach together. Considering the restaurant was so close to the sand.

"I know but that male black owl was so pathetic! Clearly a virgin…" Nico chuckled whilst Lillian narrowed her eyes playfully.

"If that's the case then he probably also is a fan of Oliver and Company…"

"How comes?"

"Cos only virgins like that movie!" Both canaries burst into laughter once more and felt like they were having the best time. But as soon as the male canary laughed, he instantly had a throbbing headache after laughing so much.

"Ooooh…" He clutched his throbbing forehead in pain, feeling like he was gonna pass out. "Lillian…Ahhhh…I think I may need to call it a night."

"Awwww really? I was having such a great time with you tonight. Such a shame it has to end soon." You can see her pout sadly, lowering her gaze as Nico patted her on the back.

"Don't worry! We are still going to the soccer match tomorrow, so I'll pick you up at your place around 9am?" He rhetorically asked, waving down a cab successfully. Getting in the back seat.

"Do you need me to see you home?"

"Don't worry! You enjoy the rest of your night. I'll see you tomorrow gorgeous…"

"What?!" Both of them instantly said at the same time. Nico instantly said it quite embarrassed by saying that…and Lillian was really touched by the compliment. But was also a little taken aback by the kind words.

"Y-Yeah…Ummm…I'll…I'll see you t-t-tomorrow!" The female canary just turned around and scurried away from the guy she had a little crush on. With her cheeks going from pink to purple in mini seconds. Unable to shake off that heartwarming compliment.

"Gorgeous? Fucking gorgeous! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" Nico kept slapping his forehead in frustration, as the cab driver just rolled his eyes and shook his head. He didn't really want to get involved in this situation, but boy…he knew that must have been really awkward at the time. So instead, he literally just drove the ill canary home instead.

Now Let's See Where Leandro Had Wandered Off To…

Strange…Some people can be really good. Others can be really bad. Then there are some that do good things and feel bad about it if they don't do it right. Or they do bad things and feel good because they want to make others feel as bad as they do.

But with this particular man…an older blue and gold male…he had just escaped probably the most horrible thing he could ever experience. His own son telling him that he hated him.

Now normally in this case Leandro never really cared for RDJ as much as he did his own son Fred. But despite the fact that his ex wife had sadly lost her life…he sees a lot of his deceased ex wife in his younger son.

But instead of feeling enraged or agitated…he felt…broken? Damaged? Distraught! But I why now all of a sudden? Did that argument with his son really get through to him…or is he just trying to think of ways to calm down?

Leandro did what he told Hannah he was doing…by walking along the beach by himself late at night. Listening to the rush of the waves brush up against the sand. Which made a peaceful noise which soothed his ears.

But despite being in this really peaceful position…you can briefly hear the sound of a guitar replaying in his mind. But it wasn't someone playing at the beach the moment he was there…it was actually a memory…a memory from his past.

(Leandro's Memory – Many Years Ago…)

A peaceful night full of love and happiness filled the air, as many of the locals had gone to the beach for a bonfire in celebration of a brand new year.

The surf competition put on a new years special for the junior surfers and the bikini models that took part in the annual competition.

So honey now!

Take me into your loving arms!

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars!

Place your head on my beating heart!

(A brief verse from the song Thinking Out Loud – Ed Sheeran)

A young handsome blue and gold male was playing the guitar, sitting by a small campfire singing a song to the surfers who had been waiting anxiously for the fireworks to be fired off.

As he was singing he was interacting with the crowd, and quite a few females were staring at him. Playing with their hair or licking their beaks as an attempt to flirt with him…but out of all of them…only one stood out in his eyes.

A slender yet beautiful woman, another blue and gold macaw. With crystal blue eyes and a grey beak and talons was dreamily gazing into his eyes. As both of them locked eyes for a moment…he didn't even realise that he was so lost in her eyes that he forgot that he was still playing.

"Dude, that's not how the song goes? You're messing up the notes!" Some hippie like green parakeet groaned as the many females just started laughing at him and walked away to go and find a nice spot to watch the firework display.

But as for the one remaining female…she actually got up from where she sat and extended her hand for him to take. "Care to take a stroll with me?" She politely asked him, as he nodded and smiled at her.

"I'd like that very much!" He took her hand and he got up from the sand, as they walked by each other side by side. Enjoying the sound of the waves crashing up against the sand. "You are the new contestant right? This was your first competition?"

"It is actually! Normally I just do it for fun with my friends but…upon reflection of my past and how I don't really try things that often, I thought…why not?" She giggled lightly, as he closed his eyes to listen to how beautiful the waves were. "I see you are really taking in the scenery?"

"Yeah well…I do love the sound of a rolling wave brushing up against the sand. But those big ones that come in during a storm, they are quite outrageous if you ask me." He seriously responded, kicking a sea shell with his foot.

"Yeah…It was really scary! Especially that humongous wave…such a shame that black owl drowned in that wave."

"Yeah, he wasn't the smartest guy in the world to attempt surfing when the killer wave was due to strike!"

"But isn't there a rule that if you surf the killer wave, it's an automatic win? Regardless of who you are?" She pondered in curiosity, enjoying the company.

"Yeah. That's probably why he did it! You'd have to be either incredibly brave or really really stupid to attempt to surf a killer wave! And that black owl man was really really stupid! Really really stupid!" Both of them shared a brief laugh together, and they accidentally brushed up against each other. Causing both of them to blush a light pink. "So ummmm…I suppose I should introduce myself? My name is Leandro. Leandro Santos!" Leandro introduced himself, shaking hands with the girl who he enjoying being around.

"Amber…Amber Silva." Amber introduced herself in return, as they continued their stroll. But that was until Leandro saw something in the tree which caught his gaze. "You ummm…you played the guitar very beautifully."

"Thank you. I guess there was an even more beautiful sight that made me…lose my words a little." He saw the way she was looking into his eyes…and this look of hers was so intoxicating.

Without her seeing he took whatever it was off of the tree and had it hidden behind his back. And Amber had no idea what he was holding.

"I just think sometimes…surfing is a lot more than just trophies and riches. It's also about having fun and loving the ocean you know?" She could talk about surfing for hours due to her passion for the sport. That was one of the most attractive things about her to the male blue and gold macaw.

"Ahem…" Leandro cleared his throat to gain her attention, which worked like a charm. Then he presented to her what he had been holding behind his back. Which appeared to be a bright orange orchid…and a very rare one indeed. "May I?"

"Oooh Leandro…it's beautiful! You are so sweet!" She sweetly smiled at him, as she allowed him to place it in her hair. Before they then returned to stare deeply into each other's eyes.

Just as they did…they had this big feeling of butterflies in their stomachs…so excited to be around each other. As well as being a little nervous to say the least.

"Wow…she is so beautiful! I almost wish the countdown would begin now…" He thought to himself dreamily…really wanting to hear the countdown to the new year at this point.

"Wow…so handsome! God I just want to kiss him! I really want to…"

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" The crowd on the beach vegan cheering and dancing around to celebrate the beginning of a brand new year to await them.

As the new years fireworks display had begun, both blue and gold macaws looked up at the sky to enjoy the beautiful colours and beauty they produced. But then for that one second they looked into each other's eyes again…and Amber decided to break the silence.

"So you know what we have to do now don't you?" She giggled a little, noticing that his face said it all…that he had no clue where she was going with this.

"Join the celebration?" He suggested innocently, before seeing her shake her head.

"No…It's New Years? So…"

"So?"

"Why are you still standing there? You're supposed to kiss me now!" She giggled again giddily, upon seeing how purple his face had become.

"Oh…I see Hehe!" Leandro gently leaned in and they passionately kissed each other on the beak. As the new year had been welcomed…and a brand new friendship had begun…that would eventually become something much more…

(End Of Memory…)

Leandro actually had tears rolling down his cheeks after remembering such a moving memory from his past. But what was he more upset with?

"Haaaaa…We were so happy…Where did it all go wrong?" Leandro sounded like he had been drinking a little bit. But he was still able to remember something like this…a memory that although it brought him a lot of joy…but it also filled him with a lot of guilt. "Haaaaa…If only I had just been honest with her…honest about my affair…then maybe she would still be alive…"

Leandro took out a bottle of rum and knocked it back down his throat, walking along the sand to clear his head. Because despite everything he had been through in his life…he's now realised how much of an asshole he had been to his younger son…thinking that he had really messed up.

Now Let's Head To Leona's Bar…

Before we check back in on Leandro, we will now head over to Leona's beach bar.

"Another one…" Pedro demanded that his friend poured him another shot of vodka to calm his nerves. As the hyacinth girl put a hand on her hip.

"Something troubling you dude? I hadn't seen you this depressed since you found out your favourite strip club closed down?" The hyacinth girl asked in concern, slinging a dish cloth over her shoulder.

"Oooh it…it's Sofia…"

"Hmmm…got a little crush there have ya?"

"I do think she's cool and all. And we get along so well. But I just found out that she has Onlyfans on her phone…" The way he said it, he wasn't as angry as he was earlier that day.

"And? Maybe that's just how she makes her money?" Leona remarked in a calm manner, shrugging her shoulders.

"I just…I just want to know if she is only interested in winning some stupid bikini contest…and that's why she was flurrying with me. Or does she like me, and it's just a coincidence that she wants to win the contest?"

"And who says that I didn't like you…"

Suddenly, Pedro stood up so swiftly that he ended up banging his foot on the table stand. "Ahhhh fuck…" As he went to lean forward and grab his foot, he head butted the table surface and he actually fell flat on his back. Making himself slightly concussed. "Duyyyyahhh…Sleepy…"

Sofia blinked her eyes a few times in bewilderment, with a slight gong of amusement. "Ummm…are you okay?"

"Me? I'm…I'm fiiiineeee…ughhh…" Pedro had to be concussed after slurring in such a manner which rendered him…not fully conscious…that the female cardinal knew exactly what to do.

"Okay. Leona, I'm gonna need a bottle of tequila, a jar of salt, and a big lemon."

"What the hell are you gonna do with those?" The hyacinth macaw brought all the items she requested and laid them out on the bar counter. As she took a handful of salt and opened his beak surf the other hand.

"First we have to put salt on his head wound from the concussion, and when I do I'm gonna need you to put the full lemon in his beak to stop him from screaming."

"And the tequila?"

"I'm gonna drink it afterwards. Now will you please just help me out here?" The cardinal helped the man out who had upset her earlier that day. The real question was…for someone of her character…why is she behaving in this way?

And that is going to be answered in the next chapter. Apologies to those who have anxiously awaited for my next chapter. I apologise for the wait. But I hope you all enjoyed it! Also if you read what I am currently talking about with Jameson and Arika's reviews, don't worry I'm not fazed by what either of them said. Arika's review made me laugh so much that my jaw was aching from laughing so much. Anyway I hope you enjoyed the chapter! See you all soon for the next one!
