THE FINAL CHAPTER
The sun was now setting at the Amazonian Tribes, as Jewel realized that she had been standing out on the borders waiting for her beloved to return for a while. She had her hopes up for so long, hoping that Blu didn't leave her behind. So she thought that with the sun setting, she wished that she should could enjoy it with the only bird that's ever made her feel complete, Blu. But now it was time for her to go back and comfort her kids to bed. On the way, all she could feel now was just more sadness and less hope, but she didn't give up.
As she finally came into Roberto's nest, the only person she could see in there was Tiago all excited and ready to go with Blu's master plan. "Mom, you're here!"
"Hey Tiago." Jewel said as she tried to look sad in front her son. But he asked "Are you okay?" "Yeah…(sniff)…it's just that…your dad's gone for a while and I don't know when he's coming back…b-but I'm sure it's soon. Don't worried." She didn't want Tiago to feel bad like she does, but…"I'm not worried. I mean come on this is dad we're talking about. There's nothing that'll make him leave us."
Jewel felt touched seeing that her son seemed to still have hope in him. "Oh speaking of which, mom, do you wanna come with me to Amazon Untamed? Carla and the others are started it now." "No, I'm sorry sweetie but I'm a little too tired for parties." "Come on, please? Carla will be terrible if her whole family doesn't come, please?" He really wanted her mother to go as well as Blu did, because she was the special person in the plan. "Well..." She hesitated still feeling bad "Okay, I'll go for you and the others." "Great, I promise you mom, this is going to be a performance that you'll never forget." And Tiago was correct. So they both left the nest, and was on their way to where Amazon Untamed was taking place, and Jewel was surprise to see so many birds (all different colored birds), animals, and everyone else to come. It was like the whole Amazon population was here.
As they were about to land, Tiago led her mother to the front of the crowd. At the very spot where Jewel could see the opening act closer than everyone. "Tiago, why are we-?" She about to ask why she the closest to the stage but noticed that Tiago was gone, and when she was about to speak again, Carla was about to speak up to the audience.
"Welcome everyone...to AMAZON UNTAMED!" She cried, and everyone cheered, "Who here is ready for the show!" They continued cheering "Great, but first I would like to the opening act and special message to a very special person. Now I admit you'll be pretty surprised to him but please hear him out, and I promise you enjoy what he has say. Everyone, give it up for...my father, Tyler Blu Gunderson!" She announced as the cherry blossom curtain were opened and revealing Blu to everyone.
Everybody gasped and began to boo after him because of the match earlier, but Jewel was surprised and felt complete allover again, finally knowing that Blu didn't leave her. Blu began to speak "Uh, yeah, hi everyone. Look, I-" He tried speaking but everyone wouldn't stop booing, "Everyone!" He yelled "Everyone!" They would stop, and Blu got frustrated, Carla, Bia, and Tiago stood up in front of him, Bia spoke "What is your problem, everyone!"
Tiago, "Yeah, he's trying to do something good here so can't you all just listen!"
Carla, "Either you all show our father some respect or the entire show's off!"
Everyone (including Blu) froze from seeing how Blu's kids tried to defend him. He began to tear up over them again, "T-Thanks guys." He hugged his kids, and they returned it. "Your welcome." "Now, go to your mother, I'll take care of everything from here." They did what he said, and as everyone was now ready to listen, Blu spoke. "Okay, hi everyone. Now look, I know why you're mad at me, and I think you have every right to be. I also know that you probably want me to leave because you think that I'm an embarrassment to our kind, but the truth is I am not, and I don't care what you people think about me anymore. All I care about is making my family happy, by saying this..." Blu silenced a bit looking at the smiling faces of his wife and kids.
He continued "About the match, that should've never have happened in the first place, I kicked the ball into the wrong goal by mistake, and it all started just because I was trying to do some good. I was trying to get a Brazil nut for my wife, to show her that I loved her and I wanted to be loved too. My wife, as you all may not know until now, is Jewel, Eduardo's daughter. I was trying to do something good for her because I felt like I wasn't good enough for her anymore, and everything just went by too fast. I didn't mean to cost everyone so much. But know this, no matter what happens, whether you all hate me or want me to leave my family behind, that's never gonna happen. Jewel, Carla, Bia, and Tiago are my family, and no matter what happens I am never leaving them because I care about them more than anything else in the world and beyond. Nothing will ever make me stop feeling this way, because I love them...and I always will." Blu stopped, and his family was smiling at him, and Jewel was crying so much tears. After a few seconds of silence, everyone began to clap slowly, and cheered and cried to the deep words he said.
Blu was happy to see that everyone was now on his side, and Jewel and the kids came up on stage and hugged him dearly. Blu and Jewel were more happy with each other than they ever would be. They smiled, looked into each others eyes, and kissed (in front of everyone:). Everyone cheered even more through that, and when they stopped kissing, Blu thought it was time for his next act.
"Thank you. Thank you very much, now I thought in case some of you are still not convinced, I thought maybe I could sing a song to my wife." Blu announced, and everyone wanted to hear it. They all silenced, and Nico, Pedro, and Rafael showed up playing the instruments, and began to play as Jewel was back on her normal spot with the audience and Blu was ready to sing, "I Won't Give Up" by Jason Mraz.
When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well, there's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?
Well, I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find
'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not, and who I am
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up, I'm still looking up
Well, I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
When Blu finished singing, everyone cheered their tongues out. Eduardo and Roberto were even there and very impressed seeing that Blu really cared about Jewel this much (and more). So they came down to talk to him. Before that, Jewel kissed Blu with a surprise attack and enjoyed it, then the kids came and hugged them, showing everyone how powerful their family is together.
"Blu..." When Blu heard his name, he turned see Eduardo giving him a glare, Blu gulped but snapped out of it, stood up, and showed a face of seriousness, showing that he wasn't going to be intimidated by his father-in-law anymore. "Yes sir?" "I...owe you an apology." "Excuse me?" "I owe you an apology. You, Jewel, and Roberto were right, and I was wrong. I'm sorry for pushing you too hard, for judging you because of who you are, and for almost ruining your relationship with my daughter. I hope you can forgive me."
"Me too." Roberto spoke up. "Look Blu, Jewel, I also owe you both an apology. I never wanna go between you two like I did since you got here. I hope you can forgive me too." Blu kindly said it. "It's okay. I forgive you guys, I just hope from now on the four of us can see eye to eye." Blu put his wing around Jewel and she replied "My thoughts exactly." Afterwards, the family got ready, and opened the rest of the show.
Carla announced. "Alright everyone, put your paws, talons, and tails together for the amazing group of talents ever gathered in one jungle, it's AMAZON UNTAMED!" Then the whole show went, and you can imagine that the same scene from the movie went on,
Jewel: "You sure you can the Amazon our home? With the heat and the creepy bugs?"
Blu: "What are you kidding? I am Mr. Jungle, totally wild, and very birdily."
The two lovebirds then had themselves held in each others wings. "You're my one and only, Jewel." "Aww." "And just remember, I meant every word back there, and I promise that I'll never leave you." "Blu...(sniff)...I'll never leave you either. You're my true love. I'm grateful for everything you've done and I would rather have you than anyone in the world...and beyond. I love you, and I'm so sorry I pushed away. I should've cared more for you like you did for me." "It's okay. I love you too, and all I want is just your happiness." So they kissed and continued their time.
After a while, the family went back to the nest that Roberto offered for a few more nights, and they were all ready for bed. Blu and Jewel brought their kids to bed, and Jewel gave them the usual lullaby. As the kids fell asleep, Blu and Jewel went to their snuggling moment before sleeping.
"Jewel?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm never gonna stop loving you, my great love."
"Same here, my great love. Oh, and Blu, speaking of great love, I have something on my mind."
Blu got confusion. "Okay? What is it?" Jewel smiled looking directly at her love's eyes with her sparkling lashes and came closer to him, "I know that we're not the last ones so it's probably not necessary, but...how do you feel about…eventually having more kids?"
"More kids?" Blu said with shock, he gulped and smiled as he knew what Jewel meant, and from then on, the two were ready for their future as lovebirds forever.
THE END
AUTHOR'S WORDS:
Well I hope this story turned out great, and hopefully it'll catch on. Also, on a...handful of notes...
•On that last part, that was the first time I ever wrote about that topic, but I for one, am never gonna write any lemons, as much as I am tempted, I don't ever wanna get into trouble for creating stuff like that.
•I'm sorry for not giving so much detailing on Roberto and Eduardo or even put Mimi in, I just wanted to get through this story.
•If you're wondering whatever happened to Nigel, you could pretend these things could've happened since this is an alternate story.
-) Some of the macaw troops could've spotted him and his company and took them down while the show was going on.
-) He could've decided to call off the whole revenge plot after hearing Blu's words about his family.
-) He could've seen Blu fail at the pit of doom, and decided to leave him there thinking that he would live with shame and loneliness.
•About Linda and Tulio, since the loggers never came, they didn't get kidnapped, and while Blu and the others were setting their master plan, he eventually found them, and convinced them to help with the plan, by hiding and record Blu singing with their new animal translator (the same tech from Romantic Soundtrack), and upload it on the internet.
•About the scarlet macaws, since both tribes were there for Amazon Untamed, they all heard Blu's words and explanation, so even the scarlets decided to return the other side of the grove, and make peace with each other.
•As the days went by, Eduardo trusted Blu more and more, and so the family eventually introduced him to Linda and Tulio, and all agreed to turn the jungle into a wildlife refuge.
And for anyone who thinks I'm not getting the characters right, let me just tell you that I know what I'm doing, and I'm trying to be the nice guy. So for anyone in the future who plans to make more non-happily-ever-after stories, I just have to say, you can do whatever you want, but I suggest you read this also.
Thank You, and I hope to continue with my writing career to become known and make a difference in the world with my ideas and hope for the same with the good ideas of everyone else.
