This is my first chapter ever, so go easy on me with the reviews please. J

Ch.1: After "The End"

Blu was sitting on a branch near the hallow, waiting for Tulio to tell him if Jewel would ever be able to fly again. He heard a jingling of keys and looked at the door in the control room. The door opened and Tulio came out. Blu flew to a branch near the door that goes out from the habitat and waited for Tulio to unlock the door. Tulio had trouble finding the key again, then he remembered,

"AGH,I left this door key in my office, I'll be right back Blu."

Blu squawked and nodded.

BLU

" I hope Jewel is alright, that cage was pretty heavy"

I walked along the branch, then back again before stopping.

"What if she can never fly again, she'll be devastated."

Tulio came back with the keys and opened the door.

"Ok, Blu, I have some news about Jewel."

Oh god, here it comes.

"Blu… Jewel only has a broken wing, she will be able to fly in about 2 weeks."

I jumped for joy, almost jumping off the branch.

"Whoa!" I shrieked.

Tulio smiled at Blu, then left.

"I am so glad to hear that Jewel will be ok!"

I jumped again, this time I fell off the branch.

"AHHHHH!"

I hit the ground with a thud.

"Ugh, OH MAN, I forgot I could fly, I could have landed it"

JEWEL

"Great…. I'm in a cast. Ugh and my arm itches."

I tried to scratch it but the cast kept me from raising my arm.

The door opened to the hallway and Tulio, Blu's friend, came in and picked me up and started to carry me to the cage they call a "Habitat"

"Jewel, you can see Blu now, he looked excited when he knew you were ok."

I smiled. Good ol' Blu, always worrying about me.

Now that I think about it, I wonder why he cares so much about me.

We finally got to the room where I saw Blu on a branch.

Tulio opened the door out to the habitat and let me down,

"Please Jewel, don't try to fly, you'll just make it worse."

I nodded.

As soon as I was put down and Tulio left, I yelled for Blu.

BLU

I heard someone in a feminine voice call my name. Linda? Jewel?

" JEWEL!"

I flew down to her and hugged her, careful not to hurt her wing.

"How bad does it hurt?"

"Pretty bad, but I'll be ok."

"Did Tulio tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"You can be released in two weeks!"

"TWO WEEKS! IN HERE?"

"Yea, why, what's wrong Jewel?"

"Remember Blu? Cages don't work for me, they make me feel like I'm trapped."

Oh great, two weeks with Jewel in a caged in habitat when she hates being caged in. Just perfect, but I'll have to make her as comfortable as possible.

"Well, I can fly you up and down from the hallow, and maybe Tulio will let us out once in a while." I said smiling.

"He better, or I might go crazy." Jewel crossed her eyes.

I laughed and tried it too.

"Blu, why are you staring at me?" Jewel said confused.

"I'm trying to cross my eyes."

Jewel laughed and I blushed.

I fail at this.

Jewel laughed even harder when she saw me blush,

"It's ok Blu, it doesn't come to everyone at first, it takes practice"

"Alright, but if I don't get the hang of it by the end of this week, I'm just giving up."

This ends chapter 1 of a 5 part story, I'll hopefully have another chapter up tomorrow. Review and favorite please. J
