I'm not too familiar with the 'Rio' fandom, so I won't comment on the storyline or the characters presented. I needed to go look up the movie on Wikipedia just to get a general idea of the different characters in the movie and those chosen to be in your fic. I'm guessing that the two people in the first two chapters are your OCs, though I could be wrong.

A problem that I had while reading was that sometimes your tenses get confusing. I get the overall sense that the fic is written in the past tense, but sometimes there were dashes of present tense within the writing, one example being the opening line of your second chapter. These things can throw readers, so it's important to keep tenses consistent.

Something else which I found slightly disconcerting is the fact that in the second and third chapter, there was a lot of dialogue going on. It isn't very advisable to drown entire chapters in dialogue because then readers miss out on what exactly the different characters are doing physically. It may become disinteresting to read a chapter where half of the text is exchanges between people. You may want to intersperse descriptions of what they are doing at the time between the dialogue, because then that fleshes out the story more uniformly and doesn't bore readers.

There are other generic assorted writing issues - capitalisation, dialogue writing, apostrophe use - which can be corrected easily by proofreading thoroughly or with the help of a beta reader. Betas will help look over your chapters before publication and then give it a preliminary assessment, pointing out mistakes you may have missed and then giving you advice on how to improve for future chapters.

Hope this helps.
