That's what they say
We've hurtin' each other
Girl, it's a shame

I wanna make sure I'm right, girl, oh
Before I let go, yeah, uh

Banjo twirled Grace in circles again. Banjo and Grace hugged each other and look at each other doing a slow dance.

You know I think the sun rises and shines on you
You know there's nothin', nothin', nothin' I would not do

Banjo and Grace did the electric slide and did a clap dance.

We were so close

Banjo and Grace did to each other by holding to each other wings and danced. Banjo pulled out his wing for Grace. Grace hold to Banjo's wing and walk to the crowd. Banjo hold Grace while Grace is leaning. They looked at each other eyes.

I love your charm, ooh
I can't understand it, no

Before I let go, ha-ha

Banjo and Grace did the last dance.

I wanna know
I wanna know before I let you go, I gotta tell you so)

Banjo and Grace posed. All the Blue macaws and Scarlet macaws clapped in round of applause they cheered and whistled. They were amazed by Banjo and Grace dancing.

"I am proud of them Blu." Jewel whispered to her mate.

"Me too honey. My brother and sister-in-law did the best dancing ever." Blu said.

"Yes that's my daughter and son-in-law." Peter said.

"Our daughter and son-in-law. That was the amazing dance." Susan said.

"Indeed, I was dancing to the music." Jenny said.

"Banjo tell us the story on how you and Grace care for each other." Luiz said.

"Come on guys. Speech, Speech, Speech, Speech." Pedro yelled.

"Speech, Speech, Speech, Speech, Speech, Speech." Everyone yelled after Pedro.

"Okay everyone." Banjo settle everyone down.

"We will do it." Grace said.

Everyone cheered.

"Okay guys settle down now." Nico said so his friends can talk. Nico took off his bottle cap off.

"Do you want to go first?" Banjo asked his mate.

"No you." Grace said.

"Come on, the audience wants to hear our story." Banjo said.

"You can go first." Grace said.

"Okay I will go." Banjo said. Banjo placed a wing over Grace, did a one-wing hugged, and start his speech. "Believe it or not, before I met Grace. I lived with Blu and our owner named Linda in America, I couldn't even fly all my life. I was sent to Rio De Janeiro with my brother Blu to save my kind. I thought Grace wasn't going for a guy like me but she did. After our adventures in Rio, me and her take care of each other, love for each other, have dates, and hang out with our friends. I would do anything for the love of my life. Me and Grace were in love at the Samba Club back in Rio where we shared our first dance. Grace was the only girl I wanted my entire life. When Nigel broke her wing and fell from a plane. I jumped after her to confess my love for her. Grace give me the kiss of my entire life. The ability of her kiss warms my heart to samba and I flew for the first time in my life." Grace was listening the whole time and smiled at Banjo.

"Awwwww." Everyone cooed.

Some of the blue macaws and scarlet macaws cried in tears. Peter smiles and cry, he is amazed that his son-in-law did a lot of good things for his daughter. He knows that the man that his daughter Grace deserves.

"Awwww." Nico, Pedro, and Rafael cooed. Everyone cheered at the beautiful speech of Banjo. Now it's Grace turn to do her speech.

Grace placed a wing over Banjo, did a one-wing hugged, and start her speech. "I was alone my entire life, I didn't trust anyone, and I lived alone until I met Banjo. I admitted it, I didn't like Banjo at first but the moment we fall in love with each other when we shared our first dance at the Samba Club like Blu and Jewel did. Banjo was the perfect guy for me and he is the one that I wanted to be with. I know I wasn't going to be lonely again. Banjo came to my life. Nigel the evil cockatoo captured me and Jewel to be smuggled. I thought Banjo wasn't going to come because of our fight but he did alongside his brother Blu and their five friends Rafael, Nico, Pedro, Luiz, and Blaze. Like Banjo said, I fell out of the plane heading towards the ocean. Banjo dived after me and grabbed me and confessed his love for me. I responded by showing my love to him before we died. The kiss I gave Banjo the ability to fly and Banjo took me to the bird doctor to get my wing fixed. We were released into the jungle, got married, and have four children. Here we are living in the Amazon with our family and we found our species. I love you so much Banjo, always will until death tear us apart." Grace finished her speech.

"WOOOOO." Everyone cheered. Grace hug Banjo and Banjo hug Grace. Everyone cheered. Peter and Susan clapped in round of applause.

Nico and Pedro come up on stage.

"That's our show everyone. Good night everybody." Nico said and everyone clapped. Nico and Pedro took a bow. Peter, Susan, and Jenny came to the couple.

"Banjo you are a good man for my daughter." Peter said in a smile.

"Thank you Peter." Banjo thanked his father-in-law.

"Yeah that was a good amazing performance you two." Susan said.

"Thanks mom." Grace said.

"You're welcome." Susan said.

"My wildflower girl and nephew-in-law are stars." Jenny said. She hugs Banjo and Grace. Banjo and Grace hugs her back.

First I did the past of Blu and Jewel. Now I did the past and love of Banjo and Grace's.
