Figuring it out.

Hey guys, I'm Alexey Joy, your host from FilmedIt Studios. I return with a new idea but i'm not going to tell you what it is. Better start 'Figuring it out'.

Chapter one

Escape

Rio De Jenerio. Known for its beautiful mountains, jungles, hot weather, huge sandy beaches along the coastline and its exotic wildlife. An old plane flies through the sky smuggling all sorts of exotic valuable birds. But the most exotic of the lot are the two Blue Spix Macaws. One male and one female. The male is Blu and the female is Jewel.

RIght now everyone's feeling pretty sad since they might not see their family again. All except one. Blu was thinking of ways to escape, looking at every single little object that could be reached. He spotted a cargobuckle next to him. He reached his talon out to it and grabbed it. He pulled it down to his and hooked it to the top of his, then reached to the other side of the cargobuckle and hooked it to the fire extinguisher.

Jewel was curious of what he was doing after watching him do this. "What are you doing?" Jewel asked as she moved closer to the edge of her cage to get a closer look.

"I'm about to pop this thing open like a soda can '' Blu replied, quoting what Pedro said when he first arrived at Rio. Blu proceeded to ram himself into the edge of his cage. Trying to push the fire extinguisher to the ground so it would rip open the top of the cage where he put the other end of the cargocable. It took him 4 tries to ram it to the ground. Causing the top of the cage to, yes, pop open like a soda can. Blu climbed out.

"Now that's popping" The yellow canary named Nico said to his Red-crested Cardinal friend named Pedro.

Blu opened Jewels cage and told her to "go free the others" as he opened her cage, They split up to free the others. Cage by cage they freed each bird. Once all the birds were free, Blu broke a cargo cable causing a bunch of cages to fall in the way of the door to the cockpit of the cage. Then he proceeded to use a cargo cable to swing over to the cargo bay door lever and opened the cargo bay.

All the birds then proceeded to fly out the cargo bay and back towards Rio. After they were gone all that was left was Blu and Jewel. Jewel began pulling Blu out of the cargo bay. "Come on we gotta get out-" But Blu began pulling away to the other direction while repeating "wait" loudly 4 times until he finally got out of her grip.

Blu looked down to the ground and he tried to dig his talons into the metal floor. Not wanting to let go of the safety of the ground. He knew he couldn't fly and felt ashamed for it at that very moment. Embarrassed to be seen in this state of vulnerability and helplessness. He didn't even want to look her in the eyes. Afraid of what she would think of him like this.

But Jewel didn't think any less of him for this. In all this time of them being chained together she had grown to care for his feelings. At the beginning she hated him for trying to go down on her when they first met, but now is different. Looked back to him but at times glanced to the ground and the cargo bay door. Trying to figure out a way to comfort him. "It's okay, hey it's ok" She desperately tried to comfort him enough for him to look her in the eyes.

"We're going to figure this out together… right?" Jewel said, reaching her wing out to the side of his wing, gently pushing it onto him to comfort him. Blu slowly looked up to her, still doubting himself but less then before.

Suddenly Nigel tackles Blu to the ground, choking him so he can't breathe. Jewel was knocked back when he did this but recovered as quickly as she could and then jumped onto Nigel, clawing at him enough to rip his left wing feathers out. Nigel fell to the ground from pain and Blu grabbed the cargo cable next to him and connected it to his talon and then set off the fire extinguisher and threw him out the front of the window. Due to Nigels injuries he couldn't fly and fell right to the ocean, hitting the water and a deadly splat.

Blu just lay there in relief until he heard of the propellers break. He stood up but immediately remembered there's nothing he could do but stay there helplessly and die. So he just dropped back to the floor and quietly sobbed

Jewel saw his face had an idea, she got on top of him and rotated him to a comfortable enough position to get a good enough grip. She flapped her wings and flew herself and Blu out of the cargo bay and towards Rio.

They arrived back in Rio and Jewel carefully placed him down onto a big enough branch to lie down on and catch her breath from carrying him there, and for the next 5 minutes Jewel just laid there in silence. Until she heard quiet sobbing from Blu. She stood up and slowly moved over to him. She placed a wing on the side of him. "I'm sorry" Blu quietly said into his wings. "Why? You saved everyone on that plane, if I never met you in that avery 2 days ago everyone on that plane would still be there" Jewel explained, trying to boost his self confidence. Blu understood this but still laid there in silence.

"Listen Blu I… I don't really know what to say but… thank you" Jewel then hugged the curled up macaw next to her. She noticed after about 10 seconds his sobbing had faded away and he started to sit up. "Your welcome.'' All Blu could reply.

Blu stood up and began walking. "Where are you going?" Jewel asked. Confused how he just stood up and began walking away.

"Home. I know that this entire time you wanted me to get away from you so that's what I'm doing" Blu stopped, turned his head and answered in a sad voice. Still sniffing from all the sobbing he just did. He then turned back around and continued walking.

Jewel watched as he walked away, desperately trying to think of a way to get him to stay. "Blu!" she called out for him. Blu stopped and turned around to listen "Blu, look, I know I haven't exactly been the kindest to you when we met or maybe at all." Blu simply hummed an "mmm hmmm" sound. "But… After all the time of us being chained together. I have grown to know you and now that I do. I think I'm willing to give it a try.''Jewel kindly told Blu as she looked him in the eye. "Give what a try?" Blu asked, tilting his head.

There was a 5 second gap of silence. Blu continues to look at her with his head tilted. Jewel finally opened her mouth after the 5 seconds.

"Us"

I honestly was planning on this chapter being longer and I will try to do that in the future chapters. Right now I am on a snowboarding trip and to pass the time while me and my friends were not on the mountain I wrote this.

But I hope you guys liked it. This is going to be a more slow paced story where instead of a kiss uniting them. It will be lots of bonding and getting to know each other. So yeah. Tell me your thoughts.

Give criticism and suggestions.

In the meantime.
