Hey guys, sorry for the delay, I have been quite busy with other stuff. But I am back with a new story which you guys, I think, will enjoy very much.

This story is actually inspired by One Morning in Minnesota by Jesus loves all, an alternate version of the first Rio where Jewel loves Blu as soon as she sets eyes on him. An amazing story, if you have not read it, I urge you too.

Anyway before we start the story, an important note. I am only going to focus on the scenes that contain Blu, Jewel or both of them, this way I am not rewriting the whole movie, it would take too long to do it.

So without further ado, let's start.

Chapter 1: Jewel in Minnesota

Morning in the beautiful city of Rio de Janeiro started again and in the jungle surrounding the city, birds of all kinds and sizes started the day, with their normal morning song.

The singing continued as many birds danced to the music and in one tree, a small light blue little girl bird woke up to all the excitement happening outside. She started to dance to the music and enjoyed it. Soon she saw a mother with her children on a nearby branch. The mother picked up her children and threw them off the branch to the horror of the blue girl bird, but relieved when the children were flying.

She wanted to fly also and prepared herself for flight, but before she could take off, a flying net caught a couple of birds in midair. Soon there were many birds being caught in cages and nets and everyone panicked and started flying away as fast as they could.

The little blue bird was confused and in that confusion fell out of the tree and landed on the ground. When she looked up, there were no birds in sight, she started to become scared and even more so when a big cage landed on her, trapping her.

Before she knew it, she was put on a plane with other caged birds and flew to an airport where she was to be taken to another country.

About a day later she was put on a truck that was to take her to a pet store. Little did the little blue bird know that she was in the country of the United States in the state of Minnesota, thousands of miles from her home.

The truck continued on to a town called Moose Lake, but the little bird did not know that, she was too frightened to think about anything.

Soon the truck got in the town and the driver applied the brakes too late at the stop light, distracted with the radio. He stopped just in time, but did not realize that the door in the back was not shut properly and one of the crates was thrown off into the snow.

The little blue bird suddenly felt cold and backed into a corner of the crate to try to get warm, still frightened. Suddenly she heard footsteps approach and she became scared at who it could be.

A little girl opened the crate and saw the little blue bird in the corner and reached her hands in to get the bird who tried to go away.

"It's okay." The girl said to the bird.

The little bird was scared and was looking around her as soon as she was out of the crate. The girl continued calming the bird and stroked her feathers, which the bird suddenly felt good at the sudden warmth.

"I'm take care of you." The girl said to the bird and than gave it a warm hug, which the bird liked very much and was finally calm.

So there is the first chapter, very similar to the movie, but I hope you guys like it anyway.
