Another AU, and this one maybe short. Now, through my times here on FFN, I've noticed a bunch of other fanfictions where Blu met Jewel in the amazon but hopefully I can make this unlike those others.

If you want anymore details, well…there won't be any villains (except for one certain character who might act the villain), there won't be any OCs other than possibly my own, and Blu will be like the kind of guy who's still scared a lot but also wants more in his life. You'll just have to read the whole story for more detail.

Now here we go.

CH.1

On one new bright and sunny day, there was a big large plane in the sky just doing what all planes do. Staying in the air and hold a…plane-load of people and cargo. Nothing too out of the ordinary, except inside the cargo hold was a small cage, and inside that cage was a bird. A bird that was known as the last spix macaw on earth. Or at least was, because now he and two friends of his are on this plane to take a trip to the amazon rain-forest to find something else out. Something that could change Blu's life forever.

But right now he was just lying in his cage, deep in thought.

"Boy…I can't believe I'm doing this. I mean, for a long time I always to do more with my life outside of the house but nothing this extreme. To think this all started off because I gave my companion Linda a brochure, suggesting we take a vacation to Rio. Then after we agreed to it, made it, and settled in one of the hotels, she got a phone call from her cousin saying someone named Tulio wanted to speak with her about me. He had a thought that in the amazon jungle, there's a tribe full of blue macaws like me. I thought it was crazy to come along but Linda assumed that that's what I wanted. Now…I just don't know. All I do know is that it's unpredictable and at least new for me."

Blu was truly in his thoughts. But a quick turbulence knocked him out of it. He stood up and looked the window closest to his cage. "Whoa." He was impressed to see all the green that was at the surface. All the way at his home, Moose Lake Minnesota, what he mostly saw on the ground everyday was just snow. White and clean snow. The thing about Blu is that he's just a smart bird who somehow came to Linda's door one day as a baby.

Since Linda took him in, she took care of him, loved him, and taught him so much. Blu loved her and was grateful for everything she did, but still felt like he wanted more.

So now Blu just continued looking out the window, thinking about his life and what's to come. And he could only imagine what Linda was thinking about now. She was up in the room with all the passengers, sitting next to her new friend, Tulio. Who, of course, noticed that she looked pretty nervous.

"Linda?" He asks her. "Are you alright? You look like you're airsick."

"Oh no. I'm fine, Tulio, I don't get airsick. I'm just a little scared. I haven't exactly done this big before in my life, and…"

"Blu?"

"Yeah. You're saying that there could really be a tribe of blue macaws out there, so what if when we do find them, they could be…not so friendly to us, or what if they're mean to Blu? Or what if…he'll want to leave me?"

"Linda, please don't worry. I promise that while we're on this trip, nothing will happen to Blu. I'm gonna help you keep him safe from harm, keep him with us at all times, and that he'll never want to leave. But I want to ask…would that be such a bad thing? To see him leave?"

"Yes. Ever since I found him as a chick, he was so small and scared. I promised him that I would always take care of him. And even though he loved me, he still always wanted more. He wanted to leave the house and do more with his life, and I…I just never knew how to do that without letting him go. He's my best friend and I never wanna let him go."

"I see. But still…like all mothers, they eventually need to know when to let their chicks go. Although right now, there's no need to worry. Like I said, I'm gonna help you make sure he's safe and nothing terrible will happen."

Linda took his hand.

"Do you promise?"

"I promise."

"Okay. Thank you, Tulio. I think I needed to hear that."

"Don't worry."

He held to her hand to comfort her, and it worked. Linda sighed, trying to pace herself. So she could know that there really wasn't anything to worry about.

Two hours later…Linda and Tulio were off the plane (carrying Blu in his cage), and used a jeep to drive through the jungle. Linda was in the shotgun seat still holding Blu in the cage. She decided to take a good look at him just in case. "Hey Blu? Are you feeling okay?" Blu nodded to her and she petted his neck. "Good. I hope you'll like this. Meeting a whole tribe of birds like you. Oh I hope it'll be fun for you." Blu smiled but dropped it after turning. He gulped and said in his head, "Me too."

Later, Blu was sitting comfortably in his cage, which was now inside a tent set up by the humans. Linda was inside with him reading a book. Blu still spoke to himself in his head.

"Another tribe. A tribe of birds like me? Well, in a way that's sounds fun. Maybe when I get there, they'll welcome me as an honored guest. At least any welcome's better than the way Alice and Chloe say hi to me every morning. What else is there to think about?" Blu thought about it more and another idea came. A really big one. "Oh right…(gulp)…girls. If I'm not the only blue macaw there is then that means there'll be a lot of girls there. Well hopefully it won't be too extreme or anything. I just hope anything we find will be good and enough to help me find what I want."

He yawned, and it caught Linda's attention. "(yawning)…yeah. I'm feeling it too." She peeked outside her tent that saw that it was already getting late, and it looked like it was gonna rain. So she signaled Tulio to come in the tent. Then the two humans each got on their own hammock and slept in 'em. But Blu didn't. He stayed awake, not because of "Minnesota Time" but just because he wouldn't let go of his thoughts.

But then he just smiled, thinking that something good would happen. So he rested his head down, and smiled. Dreaming of what he would go through. But he's not thinking more about what's coming to him.

Outside in the rain, there were large leaves rustling, and behind them were these six strange black characters watching Linda and Tulio. But they were more intrigued about Blu. Seeing a bird interact with them, in a cage without any sign of fear.

"Roberto…what should we do about this?" Said one of the black figures, who was speaking to the leader of this group. And he replied, "Hmm…you two, go back to tribe and tell Eduardo about what we found and that we'll be back in twenty minutes…with this new stranger." "You got it." So two of the figures came out of the leaves and were revealed to be blue macaws. Which meant that the others were blue macaws too, and this Roberto character was more curious about Blu. Soon he'll be getting all the answers he needs, and Blu will soon get what he wants too.

There we go. We'll see if I can make the next chapters longer, 'til then, enjoy this and the rest of my stories for this summer.

And to StriketheDragon, thank you for sending me this and if you have anymore ideas you wanna establish with me, don't be shy to try. :)
