Takes place during the break of "Honeymoon". What this means is that it's off the scriptwriting and 'acting' scenes of "Honeymoon". I decided to write this on how Blu and Jalin would talk about during the long 'script movie' of "Honeymoon". Note: Jokes may hurt.
Blu and Jalin were on the beach of Hawaii, waiting for the day they would be called back to the script of "Honeymoon". The beach was in Kahului, Hawaii, the setting of 'Honeymoon'. The waters brushed against the sandy shore as the tropical trees native to the island swayed little with it. Jalin, sometimes referred to having a Blu-like personality, stretched out his wings as he stood on a fallen palm tree stem. His father Blu heaved peacefully as he soaked in the atmosphere of the place.
"I don't know if it's good to be back at Hawaii or not."
"Well, Jewel and I went back to celebrate the twelfth anniversary of 'Rio'."
"Isn't that kind of weird to celebrate the twelfth anniversary," wondered Jalin. "Most people usually extravagantly celebrate their first anniversary and every anniversary that has a multiple of five."
"Well, yeah, but your mother and I needed a break for all this acting through a fanfiction, and since the writer Corration was too busy doing his own thing, we decided to take the opportunity.
"And of course, Salvia and I weren't invited," grunted Jalin.
"Well…um…you know…famous people only."
Jalin half-closed his eyes.
"I'm your son…the real one."
Jalin sighed and continued talking.
"Seriously, when 'Rio 2' was in production, I was looking forward to it, but then they decided to make up this ridiculous thing where we were your first hatchlings and the movie would focus on the second hatchlings. And the worst part is that they took Lear's Macaws and Hyacinth's Macaws and made them look like Spix's Macaws."
"Hey, we made more money than the first movie."
"It's not like we could use it. We're birds."
"Oh, right," said Blu with a dull face of realization.
"Plus, that movie was more poorly received than the first one."
"It's a sequel, Jalin. About eighty-percent of all sequels do worse than the original movie."
"I guess."
Blu sighed.
"I swear, acting in movies and then personifying myself differently through these fanfictions is way too much."
Jalin faced Blu curiously.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, haven't you read the reviews of 'Come Back' and 'Rio: The Series'?"
"Not really. As kids, you didn't let us read the reviews when we were doing 'Rio: The Series' as kids, and for 'Come Back', I've been spending time with Salvia after we got back and haven't gone near a computer. You know, off camera...er...script...sto-ry?... You know what I mean."
"There was a reason why I didn't let you read it, because when I would act like a pervert or something like that through the script, some readers got annoyed."
Jalin faced his father with a dull expression. Blu was taken by this expression and returned it with a confused face.
"What?"
"Dad, you are a pervert. Probably not as much as the script calls you to be, but as much as a normal person…bird."
"Don't blame me if the script rubbed off on me."
"Scripts don't rub off on you!" expressed Jalin kind of annoyed.
Blu looked back at the peaceful beach.
"Besides, he only scripts it since it's a running gag."
"What gag?!"
"Well, like you know about lemons?"
"The fruit?"
"… Not that one."
"Then what?"
"You know how lemons can be either sweet or sour depending on the texture of it? Well, lemons are fanfictions that have sex-depicted writings in them."
"I don't get how fanfictions with those scenes have to do with lemons."
"Well, they can either be sweet or sour."
"That raises even more questions!"
"Anyways, some readers request lemons from writers. So, I think Corration played a self-joke by making me act like a pervert through those lemon requests. Everyone wants to read about sex between two lovebirds, but no one wants to read about a character who says perverted things. Humans are strange."
Jaalin sighed.
"Well, it kind of sucks he forced you into saying those things."
"Well…not really."
Jalin looked at Blu curiously.
"What do you mean?"
"Kind of like that I can say those things to your mother. I like too see that embarrassed face off hers.
Pervert, thought Jalin as his faced dropped.
"But don't worry, Jalin. Once 'Honeymoon' starts again, the things I strangely say will be less."
"It makes sense. I mean the plot centers around me and Salvia."
Blu sighed.
"Hopefully, I can get a grandkid."
"Hey! That's not in the story script!"
"I thought this script was spontaneous, since the author lost the outline."
"But-"
"Remember, Jalin. You have to act it out no matter what. Even if the epilogue or the last chapter mentions that you and Salvia slept and three months later, you are a father. You have to act it out."
"Doesn't feel like an act if…that actually happens," mumbled Jalin, blushing lightly.
Blu inhaled deeply and exhaled.
"I wonder when we get to start doing 'Honeymoon' again?" asked Blu to no one in particular.
"Probably in a couple of weeks or so. I mean, he is wrapping up 'Call of the Jungle'."
Blu narrowed his eyes.
"Oh, yeah. That one. Isn't he like contacting another Blu from a parallel universe or something?"
"Huh? Parallel universe? Is that even possible?"
"Don't ask me. He's the engineer."
"But you're a bookworm," Jalin retorted.
"And back at you…Son."
The thirteen year old shook his head a little.
"And then the other one he's working on."
"Oh, right. The Tora-something one."
"It's 'Toradora!' Dad."
"What does that even mean?"
"It comes from the words tiger and dragon in Japanese."
"Japanese? Is it like an anime of something?"
Jalin nodded his head.
"Yeah. It's a love story… Corration's getting back into anime. I mean, a lot of good shows came out this year, like 'Akame Ga Kill', 'Sword Art Online II', 'Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W: the OVA', 'If Her Flag Breaks', 'No Game, No Life', 'Brynhildr in the Darkness'…"
"You sure know a lot of Japanese shows."
"Well, that's what I've been seeing him do every since he got back into fanfiction."
Blu rubbed the back of his neck, kind of unsure about his son's actions.
"No offense, but doesn't that label you as a stalker?"
Guilt and shame was stamped on Jalin's face when he realized his father was right. He had to rebuke.
"B-B-Better than… Better than a pervert."
"I have a feeling they are at the same level of creepiness," stated Blu calmly.
"Well, either way, some of our readers might be glad to hear 'Honeymoon' will be coming back in two to four weeks."
"And we're changing the subject just like that."
"Yeah, two to four weeks, though our fan base for this story might be dying because of this long stall...and probably after hearing this talk between you and me."
"I have a feeling you're not paying attention to me," mumbled Blu.
"So, you need to refresh ourselves as much as we can until that time comes."
"Yeah. You're right."
Blu slyly smiled.
"And then once you're refreshed, I can finally see your grandkid on set."
Out of a surprised reaction, Jalin accidentally leaned back where he sat and fell to the sand. He sighed and picked himself up. As he was doing so, Jewel and Salvia were coming back from their flight and landed in front of Jalin. Salvia, a light blue Spix's Macaw with hazel eyes and dark blue feather tips, helped her fiancée up.
"Jalin, are you alright?"
Jalin brushed the dust off himself.
"Fine. Just taken back by what our father said."
Jewel looked up at his mate.
"Blu, were you telling Jalin that he and Salvia should have a chick?"
Salvia looked down at the sand and blushed.
"Well, yeah. I want to see Jalin's chick. That's on my bucket list."
"You'll see their chick when they are ready."
"It's in the script."
"Huh?"
"That's impossible, Dad. We both know Corration lost the outline."
"That doesn't mean he forgot about it."
Jalin wanted to retort, but he could not find the words. He glanced over at Salvia, seeing that she had covered her face with her wings, hiding her huge blush. Jalin's blushed formed as he saw his potential partner, and he looked down at the sand, embarrassed.
"Blu!" snapped Jewel with her strict face.
"My precious Jewel, I think readers would appreciate if there was some clue Jalin and Salvia had an intimate relationship."
Blu looked out into the ocean as the sun was in its five o'clock position during the summer in Hawaii.
"Besides…lemons sell."
