Blu and Jewel were perched on Abe's shoulders as he carried a baby macaw in his hands. Leoncio and Elena were carried by a policewoman. They walked out of the storage warehouse, located a few miles away from Ramos. It was in a forest, near an open area where a plane could land. Once outside, the rising sun symbolized a new day for Blu.

Blu heard some footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw the Japanese leader in handcuffs. He was being escorted by two policemen. He looked at the back of Abe's head and yelled something at him.

"Hey, he's part of this too," he said in his English accent. "Arrest him! Those birds are not his!"

"They are not anyone's," Abe simply said.

The leader smiled.

"See? He said it himself!"

"Yes, but you're the crook. Not me."

"Too bad you're only witnesses are birds. You are the one that built the robot that made all this possible."

A policeman overhearing the conversation walked over to the two arguing men.

"Is it true?"

"Only the design. Besides, it was an animatron, not a robot."

"But because of you, all of this happened. You have your fingerprints all over what you built."

"Heh. I enjoy the psychology that you're doing here."

Abe pulled out his iPhone.

"You know," he said, playing with the screen of the iPhone, "I like the iPhone. You can listen to music, text, play games, download different apps…and watch videos. There's one video I really like."

He motioned the policeman that had walked over to him to look at the screen. The policeman saw a video of a leader in the warehouse, talking to someone on the phone. The screen moved, as the voice of the leader was still being heard. The screen changed into two men sitting in the chairs around a rounded table. Near them was a crate that had two cages on top of them. They contained the Spinx's Macaws. The video then ended. Abe smirked as the police officer watching the video looked at the worried leader.

"They always say a picture says a thousand words," commented Abe. "I think a one-minute video says ten thousand words."

The officer faced Abe.

"May I borrow that to download it into the computer?"

"Can I just send you the video through a text message?"

The officer was surprised by this.

"Kid, that is confidential."

"Fine. I'll just send it to Doctor Tulio Monterio of Rio de Janeiro. Pick it up with him."

"Why can't I just see it?"

"You did."

"You know what I mean," said the Latino officer.

"This is an iPhone 4."

"Yeah, so?"

"So…I don't let anyone touch it. It took me three weeks to get it and cost me around three hundred dollars, not including all the things I downloaded to it."

"But I need the video. I am not going to give you any information about me. Either you give it to me or we arrest you for restraining evidence."

Abe sighed and reluctantly handed his iPhone to the officer. He smiled and walked pack to the police car. Abe watched him carefully. Jewel tapped his neck with her beak, causing him to look at her.

"Yes?" inquired Abe.

Jewel rubbed his cheek with her head. Abe smiled lightly. Jewel lifted her head up and faced the smiling Abe.

"You're welcome Jewel."

Soon, a car pulled up. The riders parked the car behind the police cars and ran towards the crime scene. They were stopped by an officer.

"Stop. You can't enter."

"You don't understand. We need to get through."

That voice, thought Blu.

Blu squawked, getting Abe's attention. Blu pointed his wing at where the voice was coming from. Abe looked at where he pointed and nodded. He walked over the two people with the policewoman following him.

"Abe?" wondered the male.

"Hey Tulio and Linda."

Blu squawked happily. He flew over to Linda's shoulder as Jewel landed on Tulio's shoulders. The baby macaws were handed to the two. Linda held Elena as Tulio held the boys. The policewoman left.

"What happened? I mean when you called and told me to call the police to meet you at this address, I didn't know what was going on."

"Tulio, those Japanese men were poachers. They were educated men, but they were blinded by greed."

"Great," he said to himself. "Now how am I going to keep Blu and Jewel safe?"

"You're not," simply replied Abe.

Tulio faced Abe with a look of interest on his face.

"See, we rely on technology too much. I mean we have the computer, the television, the cell phone, and so on. I mean we overuse the internet and satellite for communications, sales, and finding relationships. Before, we depended on the paperboy to deliver the news. Now, we can just look it up online. Now, I'm not saying technology is bad. It was handy things like the GPS and the cell phone that arrested these men and saved Blu and his family. It's fine, but at the end of the day, we mustn't put all of our faith in technology. Hell, I always start with a paper and pencil when I'm designing something. Architects, engineers, and animation studios mostly start with story boards and a script on a sheet of paper. The animatron I designed was to show you that you didn't have faith in these birds. You were so caught up with the help of technology to ensure their safety when you really just needed to believe that they will survive. Blu is very smart, despite on a couple of occasions, and Jewel is a very protective mother and will defend her family. I had firsthand experience with her protection skills. You just need to have faith in them, and they will live for the next couple of generations."

"Yeah, but-" began Tulio.

Linda placed her hand on his shoulder. He faced her.

"He's right. We forgot to believe in Blu and Jewel. That incident with the Harpy Eagle shook us, but that doesn't mean that we must throw away the confidence we have for Blu and Jewel."

Blu smiled and rubbed Linda's cheek. Tulio smiled.

"I suppose."

Jewel pecked Tulio's cheek.

"Ow. Alright, alright. I have faith."

Abe smiled. He turned around and looked at where the police with his iPhone was. He didn't see him anywhere. On top of that, his car was not there.

"What the hell? Where is the policeman?"

"Which one?" asked Linda.

"I gave my iPhone for evidence and…"

Abe saw a police car zoomed by. It was being driven by the officer he gave his iPhone to.

"Son of a bitch. The officer is getting away with my iPhone."

"You gave an officer your iPhone?" wondered Tulio.

"Yes, he needed to download the video into his computer," Abe said hurriedly.

"Did you give him your USB cable?"

Abe had a dimwitted expression on his face. Without saying bye, he ran to where he parked the motorcycle he 'borrowed' and turned it on. He took to the streets and sped off in pursuit of the officer. Tulio and Linda looked at each other with confused faces. Blu shook his head.

"So, Abe can be caught up in the moment too."

Linda faced Blu.

"You're ready to go home."

"Yes."

"I'll take that squawk as a yes."

Tulio and Linda walked back to the car. They got into the Kia Sportage. Tulio started the car as Linda sat in the passenger's seat and the macaws sat in the back seat. Blu faced Jewel.

"Everything worked out. I was bit worried it wouldn't."

"I'm just glad everything's alright," said Jewel.

"Well, on our behalf."

"Papa?" wondered Jalin.

"Yes?"

"If that man told these two people that they rely on tech-no-lo-gy too much, why is he chasing that policeman for that thing with the vi-de-o?"

"Well…um… I don't know."

Leoncio tapped his brother on the shoulder. Jalin faced him. Leoncio had the I-know-why face and explained.

"Because he's a hypo-crite."


Six months had passed since the whole Japanese-birdnaping incident. Blu had returned to the nest with some breakfast that morning. The kids all walked to their Papa to get some food. Jewel smiled and walked to greet her mate. She kissed him.

"Good morning Blu."

"Good morning Jewel."

"Papa, what will be for breakfast today?" asked Jalin.

"Well, I got some fruit and nuts. Oh, and I stopped by at Linda's bookstore and she gave me a cupcake."

"Cupcake!" beamed Leoncio. "Out of my way. I want the first bite."

"Hold on," said Blu, who got annoyed by his son's impatience. "You will all get a bite after you eat some fruit."

"Awww," chorused the kids.

As Blu placed the small fruits and nuts in front of the kids, a voice echoed through the tree den.

"Blu! Jewel!"

The mates faced each other and looked outside. Jalin and Elena walked outside. They looked down.

"Mama," said Elena, "it's the strange man that made the bird that made the other men kidnap us."

Blu squawked happily and flew down to greet Abe. He landed on his shoulders. Jewel and her kids also flew down to greet the scientist. Jewel landed on his other shoulder as the kids landed on his arms, which he slightly extended out.

"Abe, what are you doing here?" asked Blu.

"You're probably wondering why I'm back. EPA decided that since I have the technology, my job is to find rare and new species of animals in the planet."

"So we're the first?" wondered Jewel happily.

"So far, you're the 126th rare wild animal on my list."

Jewel and Blu half-closed their eyes.

"But you will always be one of my best animal friends I've met. I'm glad to see you once again, my blue friends."

Blu and Jewel softened their expressions and smiled. Abe looked down at the chicks in his arms.

"As expected, they know how to fly. That's great, but aren't you missing one?"

Blu and Jewel looked down at the two chicks. Leoncio was missing. The two chicks realized what might be happening and quickly flew up to the tree den. Jewel followed. Blu was about to take off, but Abe stopped him. He got out his iPhone 4 and took a photo of Blu. He dropped his hands.

"Blu, you did alright. This is goodbye for now, but I'll see you again."

Blu nodded and flew up to the tree den as Abe walked off in search for other rare animals. Blu landed on the entrance of the tree den to find a crying Elena, an annoyed Jalin, and an angry Jewel. All had looked at Leoncio. His back was on the floor, surrounded by breaded crumbs. Blu walked over to Leoncio.

"Leoncio, you ate the cupcake, didn't you?" he asked in an angry tone.

Leoncio's stomach rumbled.

"My tummy hurts."

Blu huffed and looked at his son.

"Well, was it worth it?"

Jalin remembered how the cupcake tasted. Enrich with sweets, it sent his taste buds on a tropical paradise. The pink frosty opened his eyes and made them sparkle as he swallowed that first bite. Now, he was lying on the floor, feeling fat and good. He faced Blu and smiled.

"Totally."
