What if Blu didn't fall in love with Jewel?
Jewel was transported to the operating room, where her wing, which was broken during the fight with Nigel, was operated on. Tulio led an operation that was very important to everyone. Linda and Blu were waiting in the waiting room sitting on the benches.
"Are you worried about her?" Asked Linda, with Blu nodding his head. But Blu had another problem. Namely: He didn't love her. Or at least he wasn't sure how he felt about her. He hooked Linda up with his beak and showed the wing to the door from the exit.
"Want to walk?" Asked Linda. Blu touched her head with a move. He stepped off her shoulder and walked out the glass door, which was slightly tilted. The sun had already started to rise slowly over Rio de Janeiro. Slight sunshine was already visible. Blu walked onto the pavement and started walking. But for a short while he was alone, he noticed Nico and Pedro from afar.
"Blu, Blu!" They called out from afar.
"And I wanted to be alone!" Thought Blu as he was nervous.
"How good that you managed to escape!" They started to comment on Nico and Pedro screaming at each other.
"But you played the first violin!"
"Only you dared to free us!"
"And that fight with Nigel!"
"Wow, but it was amazing!"
Blu wouldn't listen to it, he kept walking forward. Nico and Pedro noticed this, and they looked at each other surprised by Blu's mooring.
"Hey, you should be happy, you're free!" Beamed Nico with excitement.
"It's over and you can be with Jewel!" Added Pedro enthusiastically.
"The problem is, I don't know if I want to be with her," replied Blu sadly sitting on a cold piece of pavement.
Nico and Pedro looked at each other with a surprise eye.
"But... How did you...?" Asked Nico.
"Normally..." He briefly replied Blu.
"But you are destined for each other," Pedro said.
"Well, I think it's over," Blu replied in frustration. Nico and Pedro sat next to Blu as helplessly as he did and asked him and things from time to time. After a dozen or so minutes, a toucan, Rafael, flew to them.
"Hey, I see it's all right!" Called Rafael from a distance. When he landed, he was surprised by their humor.
"Or not," Rafael was briefly sorry.
"What happened?" Asked Rafael.
"How could you say that..." Pedro replies softly. But Blu cut him off.
"Ugh, it's none of your business!" Blu angrily growled at them.
"Woah, easy Blu. What happened?" Asked Rafael gently.
"Why do you all want me to be with her?" Blu responded with a questioning look.
"I don't understand?" Said Rafael.
"Jewel," answered Nico.
"Ah...Jewel...Jewel?" Said Rafael.
"Don't you like her?" Added Rafael.
"It's not like that... She's beautiful... but I feel I shouldn't be with her," said Blu.
"Remember Blu," started Rafael.
"Choose the option that your heart tells you." Rafael advised.
"I don't want to be with her..." ...Blu said sadly.
"Well... I guess you'll have to tell her that somehow," said Rafael.
"In private," added Blu, pointing with his eyes at Nico and Pedro.
"It's your business, bro" said Nico.
"I'll tell her... I'll just tell her," answered Blu.
"It's going to hurt her... But she must know," said Nico
"Unfortunately..." ...Blu added while frowning.
"But what's next, you'll stay here?" Pedro asked.
"Most likely not. I'm leaving Brazil," answered Blu.
"Well... It's a shame... It was a nice adventure," said Nico.
"I'm gonna miss it, too." Blu sighed while watching the sun rise.
"So where is Jewel?" Asked Rafael.
"They're operating a wing for her" answered Blu.
"Maybe you should go now so she doesn't wait," suggested Nico.
"Yeah..." Blu replied and got up off the sidewalk. He headed for the clinic and walked into it again.
"Are you back?" Asked Linda. Blu climbed on her shoulder and waited. He had a gloomy expression on his face and he was in his thoughts. He didn't even notice how quickly time flies. After a dozen or so minutes, Tulio left the operating room with a group of people who were helping him. He had big bags under his eyes.
"Jewel is already in the aviary, he can go there if he wants," said Tulio.
"I need to rest," added Tulio, heading for the door that led to the small kitchen.
"If you want to go," Linda said. Blu slowly descended and headed towards the aviary. His heart was beating like crazy, he was stressed by the whole situation and afraid how Jewel would react.
"She won't be happy for sure," thought Blu when he was standing at the door.
He took a deep breath and then opened the door, which squeaked loudly.
Jewel was sitting by the lake looking at her reflection. When she heard the sound, she immediately turned around and saw Blu. She lifted up and approached him and then hugged him.
"I missed you so much..." sighed Jewel.
"Yes... I missed you, too." ... Blu said in a dull tone.
"I've been thinking about you all along, you know," Jewel said.
"Yes... I've..." ...replied Blu insecurely.
"I can't wait for my wing to finally heal and it's just the two of us,"the excited Jewel said.
"Well... Jewel... I have to tell you something..." he started out unsurely.
"Hm?"
"How can I tell you... you're beautiful, intelligent... But..."
"But?"
"I can't see us together..." finished Blu. The words Blu had said made he heart race. On the inside she felt quite angry. But another part of her made her think he was joking.
"This is a joke, right?" Said Jewel.
"No..." he sighed. The first drops of tears had already begun to gather in Jewel's eyes.
Unfortunately, Blu had to look at it all.
"You kissed me..." ...added Jewel.
"But..."
"I don't want to hear but! Get out!" Yelled Jewel. Blu thought it would be the smartest move, so he slowly left the room. Even before he closed the door, Blu took a look at Jewel, who was completely broken down and crying. She was sitting by the lake again, but she didn't even move.
"It's not my fault... You can't make up your mind," thought Blu sadly walking away from the door and closing it quietly. He went on to the room, the only one where the light was on. Tulio and Linda were already there, talking to each other on various topics.
"How are things?" Asked Tulio. Blu took a card and a pen from the bookcase and wrote a short message.
"You can forget," Tulio read to himself.
"You mean you... No?" Asked Linda. Blu denied the head movement.
"Wait, how about one more chance?" Proposed Tulio. Blu denied it again.
Epilogue
The next day Blu and Linda booked a flight back to Minnesota, which they wanted to return to very much and were looking forward to seeing it happen eventually.
"I'm gonna miss these views all in all," thought Blu looking out the window.
"We'll finally be home!" Said Linda enthusiastically.
"I'm sorry Jewel, but I just don't love you. It's not my fault..." ...Blu thought. After a few minutes of waiting, the plane took off.
