Chapter Twenty Two: A Romantic Time Out Part 3

On one new night in the city of Rio de Janeiro, every bird and human were each having a great night because of their usual activities. But the same couldn't be said for the city's two young lovebirds, Blu and Jewel. All the way in midtown Rio, there was an abandoned warehouse, but it wasn't so abandoned as Blu and Jewel were there, uncomfortably tied up together on the ground, and were guarded…by a gang of bad toucans who called themselves the Rough Stones. Right now, the young Jewel was pretty scared and wanted to be brave, and Blu only comforted her anyway he could. While the two were like that, they could hear what the Rough Stones were planning.

"Alright gang, let's go over the plan one more time." Said the boss toucan, which made the others roll their eyes. "Look, you all know how much I want that toucan girl to be my girlfriend, and how much I want her to ditch that jerk she's with. So now these two blue freaks are my key to having the perfect girlfriend." He walked up and looked down on them.

Jewel got mad and said, "So wait, you wanna use us for ransom? So you can get Eva?"

"Oh yeah. And if you two keep your beaks shut then me and my gang won't lay a feather on you."

"Hey buddy, if you think Rafael and Eva are gonna agree to this then you got another coming!" Blu yelled.

"Oh really? Then I guess you don't mind if we took your girl. She may not be Eva but she does seem pretty pretty."

"Easy pal, because you don't know what road you'll be entering if you touch her."

"Ooh. Tough bird. Don't worry, I won't touch her. Just do what I say, you'll be fine."

Blu and Jewel were just angry, so the boss left them alone, and they held each other's wings.

"Are you feeling okay, Jewel?"

"I would be if we weren't forcefully getting closer and our two best friends weren't being threatened."

"Yeah. Jewel, I'm sorry about all of this."

"Sorry for what?"

"You said you were feeling nervous around me, so I flirted with you. Which made us both distracted. So distracted that we didn't see these chumps coming."

"Oh Blu come on. You don't have to apologize for anything."

"Yes I do. I was being irresponsible and unfocused that I put you in harm's way…again, and I'm ashamed. This is why I thought I needed to break up with you last month. Because I thought being single would be better than seeing you in danger."

Jewel gasped, seeing her boyfriend being selfless again. So she tried to move around until she faced Blu's back and put her wing around him.

"Blu, I don't care. Like I told you before, if you ever leave me then I would already be broken. I don't ever wanna break up with you, so please don't break up with me. Blu, I love you."

She hugged him tight, and Blu felt sorry for saying those things to her again. So he gave in to the hug and said, "Okay. Jewel, I'm sorry. I still agree, I'll be with you without any problems."

"Thank you."
