Love At The Samba Club

Hey guys, after 2 years of me on this site reading other people's brilliant work. I have decided to start writing my very own stories. Before we get to the story, I'd like to say a huge thank you to Alex The Owl, Ricardo The Black Hawk, blujewelstories, Cloverfield2001, Nightfly123 and many others for inspiring me to write my own material. Also thank you to Jameson the Pheonix Owl for welcoming me to this site. I hope you enjoy this one-off story as I do have a bigger story that I am currently working on. Happy Reading!

Blu's POV

I've had possibly the worst day of my entire life! First my tree where I was staying got cut down by some stupid men and their chainsaw. They didn't even let me live in peace! After that I went to go to my usual spot where I go to get mango for breakfast. But on the way back some mean scarlet macaw knocked me out of the sky mid-flight. I landed on my face with so much force that I bruised my beak! It was so painful! And to top it all off, I got attacked by baby toucans! Honestly in all the years I've lived here I never imagined my days would get as bad as this!

Of course, it's not like it's the end of the world, oh no of course not. I had to hear from my dear friend Rafael the baby toucan's father that apparently, I could be the last blue spix macaw in existence. That's just perfect isn't it!

Third Person

Blu was currently sitting down near the bush where Rafael's children attacked him looking down at the ground. He was possibly having so many thoughts racing through his mind that he didn't even notice that Rafael and Eva, who is Rafael's wife land beside him.

"Come on amigo, you can't keep sitting around and moping all day," Rafael beamed while placing a comforting wing on his dear friend's shoulder. However, Blu was not convinced by his words that he only sighed and put his face in his own wings.

"Come on Blu, so what if your tree got cut down and some bully knocked you over, there is no point dwelling on it. You need to loosen up," Eva also commented trying to lift his spirits.

"It's not just the tree and the stupid scarlet macaw that is bothering me. It's the fact that I could be the very last of my kind! I mean how many blue macaws do you see around here? One! Only me!" Blu responded in a croaky tone of voice as he was crying all day. But soon Eva had the perfect idea.

"I know! Rafi, why don't you take Blu with you to the samba club this afternoon? Maybe Blu could have a couple of drinks, find himself a cute hyacinth macaw to talk to and dance with," Eva remarked while giving Blu a playful shove.

"No thanks Eva, I think I'll just stick to sleeping in the bush tonight as I have nowhere else to stay," Blu replied and continued to sit there and dwell on the terrible day that he was having. Eva of course gave Rafael a stern glare which made Rafael up the ante.

"You know Blu, if you come to the club with me tonight, you might end up going back to a tree afterwards if you know what I mean?" Rafael whispered to him while giving him a sly wink. This made Blu stand up and turn to face him with a friendly smile.

"What time do we go?" Blu asked while brushing the dust off his feathers.

"How about you go for a wash first and I will meet you outside of the club entrance at 2pm?" Rafael smiled while he was preparing to take off back into his hollow with Eva.

Blu just waved at him and flew to the stream that was about a 3-minute fly away from Rafael's hollow. He washed and preened his feathers. Cleaned and rinsed his plumage. And he topped it all off by gargling some water in his beak to give his beak a good clean.

Blu's POV

Alright, I'm ready for what is supposed to be a good day at the samba club where my good friends Nico, a small yellow canary and Pedro a red crested cardinal perform every night.

I only go there once a while with Rafael to sit at the bar and swig a few drinks to keep me going. But tonight, I have a feeling that it's going to be a good night!

It's now 1:50pm and I have to go and meet Rafael at the club! I haven't been this excited since my mother taught me how to fly. Let's do this!

Third Person

Rafael was waiting for a good 15 minutes, looking around and waiting for his friend to show up. As he was about to enter the club, he heard a flapping of wings just behind him.

"Ah Blu I'm so glad you ma..." Rafael paused because he was absolutely shocked. He saw what appeared to be another blue spix macaw. But it was a female.

"Oh, so I'm a blue macaw and that gives you the right to just call me by the colour of my feathers?" A very irritated female macaw growled while looking at a shocked Rafael. "Well? May I enter the club? Or are you going to carry on standing there?"

"Ermmm, sure go ahead miss," Rafael slowly replied while letting the female walk straight past him. "What, just happened?" Rafael thought to himself while looking at the female who entered the club. Suddenly Blu landed behind him and saw that something was bothering him.

"Rafi? What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost. Come on then!" Blu beamed excitedly as he rushed into the club, followed by a dumbfounded toucan who had no idea how to tell Blu what he just saw.

Blu walked up to the bartender who was a tall military macaw who just finished serving a couple of canaries. He stopped in front of him and the bartender gave him a fist bump.

"Hey Douglas, business is going well I see?" Blu loudly spoke to him as there was loud music in the background.

"Hey Blu, yeah its good. I do like a challenge! So, what can I get you?" Douglas replied while cleaning a small cup.

"How about my usual vodka and mango juice, and can you get me half a lager for Rafi?" Blu responded while he sat on the stall and waited for his drink. Douglas turned away to prepare the drinks, but Blu then turned back to Rafael who kept staring at a table near the front of the stage. Blu smacked him on the back of his head which seemed to have brought him back to reality.

"Sorry Blu, but you would not believe what I saw before I entered the club!" Rafael beamed with excitement while rapidly touching his shoulder which made Blu give him a stern glare.

"I don't care what you saw, you're married! You can't go staring at other women!" Blu shouted over the loud echoing music. But as soon as he said that he looked over there, and he couldn't believe his eyes. "Oh..My..Goodness, I'm not the only one," Blu thought to himself as his eye caught possibly the most beautiful blue spix macaw in the world.

"That's what I've been trying to tell you! You have to go talk to her!" Rafael excitedly remarked while jumping up and down like a maniac.

"And say what?" Blu replied rather nervous as he was feeling very insecure about himself considering he's never seen another one of his kind and he didn't want to look stupid.

"Anything! Just make it up as you go!" Rafael replied to him hastily while shoving him in the direction of the female sitting at a table on her own.

"Alright, alright jeez! I'm going!" Blu responded with a slight chuckle as he always found it funny when his friend was over excited about anything.

So Blu walked very slowly past the birds dancing on the dance floor and made his way over towards the blue female who sat at a table drinking what appeared to be the same drink as Blu.

Blu thought it would be a good conversation starter to talk about how they both ordered the same drink. But a lot of other things were flowing through his mind as he slowly walked towards her. Her beautiful light blue feathers that shone as bright as the clear skies. Her beautiful turquoise eyes that sparkled like all the stars in the night sky. Enough to pierce his soul as he stared deeply into them. And the pink orchid on her head that gave her a very beautiful look.

Blu was extremely nervous that he was shaking all over his body. It didn't take him long to snap back to reality as the worst possible thing happened. "You!" He said in his head as he saw a very familiar scarlet macaw who was attempting to flirt with the girl Blu was about to talk to.

"Hey baby! Man, I gotta tell you your tail is so fine that I wish I could plant you and grow a whole field of you!" The macaw shouted while leaning on the table in front of her. But this little pickup line just made her cringe, and gave him a stern death glare.

"Fat chance buddy! I'm waiting for a real man to come into my life! Not some sleazy jerk who thinks using the oldest pickup line in the book will woo someone!" The female responded rather rudely to scare off the male. But all it did was make him try even harder.

"Oh, playing hard to get? I like a little game of hard to get," the male beamed while looking at her up and down which really made her gag. But he just winked at her while licking his beak which further infuriated the female.

Blu couldn't take it anymore. He had a lot of anger built up inside of him towards this bird. Even more now that he's flirting with a girl that's the same species as him. This was the line for Blu. So he picked up his drink and walked over to the two of them with a determined yet scared expression.

"Excuse me miss? Is this bird bothering you?" Blu blurted out from behind the two of them.

The female turned around and her jaw dropped slightly. She was astonished that she saw another bird of her kind. The only thoughts going through her mind made her feel warm inside.

"Wow! He looks just like me! He's so handsome! Those chocolate brown eyes are mesmerising. His feathers are dark and cute. Plus I love his voice. So confident and charming," the female thought in her head while staring at Blu with so much admiration for him.

"Look buddy this has got nothin…..Hey! You're that blue wimp I knocked over this morning?" The bird laughed while pointing at him. This made Blu look down embarrassed and kind of hurt. But little did the scarlet macaw know that the female stood up with a glass in her hand and whacked him over the head with it.

"That's what you get you bully!" The female shouted before the security birds turned up and dragged the scarlet male's unconscious body round the back of the club. "Are you ok?" The female asked Blu in a sweet tone while putting a comforting wing on his shoulder. This made Blu look up and smile warmly at her while looking deep into her eyes.

"I am now, that was really impressive….?" Blu paused while waiting for the female to tell him her name. She blushed and lifted up her talon for him to shake.

"I'm Jewel, it's nice to meet you! And you are?" Jewel asked in response to his question.

"Blu, well my friends call me Blu but my mother always called me Tyler," Blu responded while he casually let go of her talon and stood up straight.

"I like Blu better, it suits you. So Blu, do you come around here often?" Jewel asked while slightly cursing in her head as she thought it was stupid. But Blu played along as he knew this was a common pickup line.

"I come here as often as I can, I like the music here plus I know the performers," Blu replied before receiving a huge greeting from his friends Nico and Pedro.

"Hey wasup Bluey boy! I heard your tree got cut down this morning?" Nico blurted out loud, which made Blu wingpalm himself. Jewel did gasp slightly feeling sorry for him. Luckily Pedro saved the conversation as he saw that his friend was feeling awkward.

"We are just about to sing a song on stage, but afterwards we got a new singer in town. It's Nico's cousin Purita. She moved here from São Paulo so she's relatively new!" Pedro beamed before Blu slowly looked up and gave them a warm smile before introducing them to the girl he just met.

"Nico, Pedro I'd like you to meet Jewel," Blu said to his friends as Nico bowed with respect and Pedro kissed her on the wingtip, but what he said kind of annoyed Blu.

"Charmed. Truly," Pedro said which made Jewel blush. Blu and Nico just gave a huge sigh while shaking their heads.

"Come along Pedro! We better not keep the dancers waiting! See you around you two. Maybe we will see you on the dance floor!" Nico shouted before flying with his friends towards the stage.

"They seem really nice, do you sometimes sing with them?" Jewel asked him in a sweet tone which had a slight seductive touch. This made Blu go red as a tomato. But he kept himself calm and composed.

"Yeah, I do sing with them sometimes but I don't normally do it all the time," Blu replied before noticing the slight evil smirk on Jewel's face. "What?" Blu asked while looking at her with a curious expression.

"Go on then Blu. Why don't you sing me a song? Maybe after we could have a little….dance?" Jewel seductively responded before batting her eyelashes and winking at him. This made Blu blush even harder but he winked back and stood up.

"Alright, I guess I b-b-better get on s-s-stage," Blu replied with a slight stutter which made Jewel giggle at how nervous he was. But as Blu turned around he kept thinking about whether this was a good idea.

Blu flew over to the stage where Nico and Pedro were arguing about what song to sing. But of course they had no idea Blu was about to join them again.

"No! I want to sing 'I Wanna Party' it's our best hit!" Nico shouted at Pedro before his best friend shook his head while Nico just crossed his wings.

"Not again! We did that last night! Why can't we sing 'Drop it like its hot' we never do that song anymore!" Pedro replied to him which led Nico to sigh and turn around to face Blu which caught him by surprise.

"Hey Blu! How's it going with the girl?" Nico asked while playfully shoving Blu which made him laugh nervously.

"Well it was going really well, but now she wants me to sing for her? We've only been talking for about 10 minutes!" Blu replied while panicking. But Pedro had the perfect song in mind for Blu to calm him down.

"Blu, do you remember the song you rehearsed 2 weeks ago but never got around to singing it because you had the flu?" Pedro asked his friend while Blu nodded slightly in response. "That's the perfect song to sing for her!" Pedro shouted confidently.

Blu and Nico looked at each other and nodded their heads before preparing everything on stage. Blu looked over to Jewel who blew him a kiss and started waving at him with a friendly smile. He took a deep breath and started to speak.

"Hello ladies and gentleman! I'm Blu and this song is for a certain someone in the audience tonight! You know who you are!" Blu announced to the crowd before winking at Jewel. This made her blush slightly before positioning herself comfortably to hear him sing.

(Dance With Me Tonight – Olly Murs starts playing)

Nico: Ladies and Gentlemen,

We got a special treat for you tonight,

Pedro: We got a friend here who's going to sing for you ladies,

Blu! Let's go man!

Blu: My name is Blu nice to meet you can I tell you baby,

Look around there's a whole lot of pretty ladies,

But not like you, you shine so bright!

Nico and Pedro: Yeahhhh

Blu: I was wondering if you and me could spend a minute,

On the floor up and close getting lost in it,

I won't give up without a fight.

I just wanna, oooh oh Baby,

I just want you to dance with me tonight,

So come on, oooh oh Baby,

I just want you to dance with me tonight.

Just as the song was going on, Jewel sat there in awe of what Blu was singing. She listened to every word he was singing and it made her feel so warm and tingly inside. She just looked at him with so much warmth and bliss.

Blu: We're getting sweaty hot and heavy in the crowd now,

Loosen up and let your wings go down, down,

Go with it girl, yeah just close your eyes,

Nico and Pedro: Yeahhh,

Blu: I feel the music moving through your body,

Looking at ya I can tell you want me,

Don't stop keep moving til the morning light,

Nico and Pedro: Yeahhhh.

As Blu kept singing the song, he kept looking at Jewel and the more admiration he saw in her eyes the more confident it made him. He was rather enjoying his time on stage.

Blu: When I saw you there,

Sitting all alone in the dark,

Acting like you didn't have a care,

I knew right then, you'd be mine,

We'd be dancing the whole damn night, like,

Ooooh oh Baby, I just want you to dance with me tonight,

So come on, ooooh oh Baby,

I just want you to dance with me tonight.

Nico, Pedro break it down now!

Nico and Pedro: Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!

Blu: Shake it like that,

Nico and Pedro: Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!

Blu: Now bring it all back,

Nico and Pedro: To dance with me tonight!

Blu: One more time, One more time, One more time come on now!

Nico and Pedro: Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!

Blu: Do your thing,

Nico and Pedro: Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!

Blu: Everybody sing!

All 3: I just want you to dance with me tonight! Come on,

Blu: I just wanna ooooh, ohhh baby,

I just want you to dance with me tonight,

Everybody come on now!

All 3: Pretty girl, just close your eyes,

We can dance all through the night,

I just want you to dance with me tonight,

So come on!

Pretty girl just close your eyes,

We can dance all through the night,

Blu: I just want you to dance with me tonight!

At the end of the song everybody in the club stood up and cheered really loudly as well as the birds on the dance floor who felt quite exhausted from the funky song. While Nico and Pedro fist bump each other and both give Blu a pat on the back, Jewel came onto the stage and put a wing on her heart and stared into Blu's chocolate brown eyes with a slight tear rolling down her cheek.

"Wow Blu, that song really spoke to me. You were absolutely incredible! But I did get the message from the song." Jewel said in awe and admiration. She then extended her wing for Blu to take and she slowly pulled him to the dance floor. "Well, shall we dance handsome?"

"Yes, we shall beautiful," Blu responded with all the confidence in the world. He slowly placed both his wings on her hips and she wrapped her wings around his neck preparing for the next song.

"Well I hope you enjoyed that funky beat because now we are going to slow things down a bit. Please welcome my cousin all the way from Sao Paulo, Purita!" Nico announced to the club as everybody got ready to dance.

(Halleluja – Alexandra Burke plays in the background)

As the song went on, Blu and Jewel slow danced the night away as they moved in perfect synchronisation. Blu spun Jewel around a couple times and slowly dipped her and returned her to her position.

"Wow, you can sing, you can dance, and you are a gentleman. Is there anything you can't do?" Jewel sweetly said to Blu as he spun her around again.

"Well you tell me? How is it a beautiful bird like yourself sit alone in a samba club knowing there will be guys leering at you?" Blu said with a chuckle before dipping her again.

"Well, if I'm being honest here. I never lived in Rio that long," Jewel said with a tone of voice that sounded like she was upset.

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." Blu was then cut off when Jewel put a wingtip on his beak to stop him from talking.

"It's ok you didn't know, I lived in the amazon most of my life. But then the humans came and destroyed my home. I saw my mom crushed by a flaming branch when she saved my life. I never saw my friends and family and...and..." Jewel trailed off and started to sob. But Blu being the selfless warm-hearted bird he was. He pulled her closer and let her cry into his chest.

"It's alright, hey, hey its ok. I'm here. Don't be sad," Blu replied while stroking the back of her head feathers which seemed to calm her down. The song was building up slowly which made all the couples turn their partners around while Blu still held Jewel close to him.

"I'm sorry Blu, it's just ever since I came here, I've been on my own. I had to raise myself and learn how to survive on my own. I've just been so alone since I came here. No friends. No family. Just me on my own. And I'm tired of being lonely. I'm just so lonely!" Jewel cried even louder and hugged Blu tight for comfort which made her feel so safe in his wings. Blu lifted Jewel's head up and dried away her tears with his wing.

"It's alright Jewel, ever since my mother left the nest, I never saw her again after I was about 5 or 6. My dad flew out on us when I was an unborn chick so I never knew my father. But I can tell you this now, you are not alone anymore Jewel I promise you that," Blu said to her in a calm tone of voice and dried away her remaining tears. Blu felt really warm and tingly inside and he gave her a warm and tender look.

"Really?" Jewel responded with a curious expression while she too felt the warm feeling return to her.

"Yes, because you have me," Blu replied just as the song was built up to the highest point it went to. Soon some birds cleared the dance floor as Blu put one wing on Jewels hip, and gently grabbed her wing with his. And spun her around the dance floor while they both stepped in perfect synchronisation with the beat.

Blu dipped her a couple times and spun her around several times to the music and this made Jewel happy. Jewel was laughing along with Blu when they danced around the dancefloor to the music and she forgot why she was upset.

When the song slowly came to an end, Blu looked deep into Jewel's turquoise eyes with so much love and bliss. Jewel in return stared deeply into his chocolate brown eyes with so much love and awe. They slowly moved their beaks closer, and closer, and closer together. Until they finally locked beaks in a deep passionate kiss. Their tongues danced around each other's beaks and they slowly broke from the kiss.

Soon everybody cheered and clapped their wings together for the singing but they cheered even louder for the two lovebirds on the dancefloor.

Blu escorted Jewel to the bar and they both sat down on the stools at the bar. Douglas came over to them and clapped his wings before giving both of them a huge cup of vodka and mango juice with 2 straws. "Enjoy lovebirds!" He shouted before walking away to serve others.

"To us, a new couple and a new journey," Blu toasted while giving Jewel a warm smile and wink. This made Jewel blush and lean in to kiss him on the side of his beak.

"To us," Jewel replied and they both began to drink the beverage that was prepared for them. When they just finished the drink, Nico, Padro, Purita and Rafael all came over to congratulate the macaws on their dancing.

"Wow, guys you were absolutely incredible! I'm Purita by the way!" Purita introduced herself and shook both Blu and Jewel's talons.

"So were you! You have a lovely singing voice," Jewel replied, which made Purita blush a bright red. Rafael came over to say goodnight to the lovebirds as he was going home for the evening.

"Well, you two were fantastic tonight, especially you Blu. But as a father of 17 children with one on the way I need to be going. Goodnight lovebirds!" Rafael beamed before hugging both Blu and Jewel and flew out of the club to get home to his family.

"Well it's been really fun tonight but we better be going too," Jewel said to the group of birds while staring at Blu in a seductive manner. This made Blu blush uncontrollably but the drink in his system made him quite confident.

"As you wish my lady, shall I escort you to your tree?" Blu said in a French accent which made Jewel giggle and accept his wing as he escorted her out of the club. "Bye guys! Thanks for the great night! I'll be here next week!" Blu shouted to his friends as they all waved goodbye to them.

Just as they left the club, Douglas walked up behind Nico, Pedro and Purita, saying, "Young love, always so beautiful!" He then left to clean down the bar for the night shift. Nico and Pedro cleaned the club up and got ready to leave themselves.

Meanwhile when Rafael returned to his hollow, Eva just managed to put the kids down to sleep. She then gave him a kiss on the cheek and whispered to him so she doesn't wake up the children.

"So? How'd it go? Did Blu have a good time?" She whispered to him with a curious eyebrow raised. Rafael just kissed her on her head and laid down with her in the nest.

"Let's just say Blu isn't the only one of his kind anymore," Rafael whispered to her. They both smiled in a tight embrace and they fell asleep peacefully in their nest with their children in a loving manner.

On the other part of the jungle Jewel was safely returned to her hollow and turned to face Blu who was leaning on the side of the entrance just smiling at her lovingly.

"You can stay with me if you want? This tree is big enough for the both of us," Jewel seductively said while stroking Blu's head feathers which made Blu smile and close his eyes in relaxation.

"I'd be honoured to stay with you my beautiful Jewel," Blu replied before he came inside the hollow and slowly laid down next to Jewel and wrapped his wings around her in a warm tight embrace.

"I can't believe it, I thought I was the only one and I was all alone. But then you show up and you made all my sadness disappear. You are my definition of perfection." Jewel sweetly said to Blu and snuggled closely to his chest feathers which made her feel warm and cosy.

"After the terrible day I had. I lost my home where I stayed. Got my butt kicked by a scarlet macaw. And got attacked by 17 crazy energetic toucans. I never thought that my day would get any better. Then my eyes locked with yours and suddenly my day turned into the best day of my entire life. I love you Jewel." Blu said as he kissed her goodnight.

"I love you too Blu," Jewel replied before they both suddenly drift off to sleep and they both dreamt happy dreams about the future that they will share together.

Epilogue

A few years later, Blu and Jewel soon had three wonderful children together. Their names were Carla, Bia and Thiago.

Carla was a natural when it came to singing and she always went to the club every weekend to sing with Nico and Pedro who always loved having her around.

Bia was a really smart bird and she always enjoyed studying insects, plants and experimenting when tasting different fruits together. Yes, Blu and Jewel might have to keep an eye on her when she is at the bar in the samba club.

And Thiago was a bit of a trouble maker. Always pranking his father like dropping insects on him while sleeping. Dripping honey on him while a swarm of bees chased him around. And his personal favourite which was use a sharp object he found to shave the letter T on Blu's back while he slept on his tummy.

Purita eventually fell in love with another canary named Lucas, and they do a lot of duets together when Nico and Pedro needed a night off.

Douglas never changed; he still works at the samba club. But needless to say, he enjoys his work and always loves spending time talking to the regulars.

Rafael and Eva eventually decided they wanted two more children bringing them to a total of 20 kids?! Honestly 1 would be enough for some parents but they are wonderful parents. Or Rafael keeps forgetting to wear a leaf.

And our favourite lovebirds Blu and Jewel will always remember that one wonderful night. The night they thought they were all alone in the world, but eventually found each other. They lived in peace and harmony in the wonderful place that is Rio-de-janeiro.
