Just started school so I won't be able to make stories or updates very often. In the meantime, enjoy the story right here.

Blu's P.O.V.

The last minute of my life was probably the most terrifying that I will ever experience. I was almost sliced in half, for Pete's sake! After barely avoiding the saw blade, Both me and Jewel were swinging around until we fell on Luiz. The chain landed on his mouth and we ended up hanging from the table. Eww! I have dog slobber all over my foot. After a few seconds, we finally fell to the ground and the saw apparently stopped. I shook myself up and got up from the ground.

"Eww. Gross." I said.

I looked at my slobber-covered foot and then realized…

"But I'm free. Jewel! Jewel! We're free! Slimy, but free! Contaminated probably, but free! Can you believe it's finally…"

I saw a streak of light blue fly in front of me. It was Jewel. She was able to fly again and she was happy and laughing. I suddenly felt my heart sink.

"…over."

"Woo! Yeah! Come on, guys! Let's go!" She shouted.

"What are we standing around for? It's Carnaval!" Nico said.

Nico, Pedro, and Rafael started flying after Jewel. They all flew out of an opening in the roof. All of them were whooping and laughing, having fun. I walked out of the door to watch them. Seeing them flying around being happy and knowing that I can't fly made me feel like my heart has a huge pit in it. Luiz walked up next to me and said something, but I wasn't listening. I was too caught up in my own thoughts. I snapped out of it when he pat me on the back.

"Yeah, chasing them is plenty." he said.

I let out a sigh, wandering back into my thoughts. Is Jewel going to leave me? Does she even like me at all? Will she care if I just leave right now? Then I heard Jewel singing.

"I'm flying! Flying just like a bird!"

"Jewel! But you are a bird!" shouted Pedro.

Her voice is heavenly. I could help but melt from the sound of her voice. I don't deserve a girl like Jewel. She wants to be free and if she had me, I would only weigh her down. I want her to be happy. I decided to walk away to find Linda so we could go back to Minnesota.

"Hey! Where you going?"

I heard Jewel behind me but I decided to keep walking.

"Blu?"

My heart told me to stop.

"Blu, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. Everything is perfect. You'll be off to the rainforest, and I'll be back with Linda, just like we planned."

"But-"

"Hey, birds!" shouted Nico. "Stop yapping and start flapping! Let's go!"

My attention turned back to Jewel.

"I guess I thought, maybe…"

"What? That you'd come to Minnesota? Great, I guess I'll knit you a scarf."

Why did I say that? I really want to be with her. I…I…

"No, that's not what I meant."

"Look, Jewel, I can't spend the rest of my life walking around following you wherever you're going." I said as I started walking away.

"Hey, it's not my fault you can't fly."

Ouch! That actually hurt. Not physically, of course, but right in my heart. I stopped dead in my tracks.

"Awkward." said Pedro.

"Okay. Okay." I heard Rafael say. "You know what? This is good. Just clear the air. Just be completely honest with each other."

I thought for a moment. He was right. I should tell Jewel how I feel, right here, right now. It might be my only chance.

"Okay. Jewel, the truth is that…you deserve to be free. You should be able to do what you want without someone like me holding you down."

"Blu?"

"I don't deserve a girl as smart and beautiful as you."

"That's…I don't know what to say."

I do. I can feel it. I want to say it right now, but I would rather that she fly back to the forest where she belongs.

"Go, Jewel. Go back to the forest. Be free. Be happy."

I turned around and returned to walking away. Why didn't I just tell her that I…I…l-lo…

"Blu! Wait!" She shouted.

I looked back and saw her running after me.

"Blu, that was so sweet of you to say. I didn't know that you cared about me so much. But, I feel that I…don't want to leave you."

Does she mean that? Could she feel the same way? I want to tell her. Tell her that I…

"Jewel? Back on the trolley, I wanted to tell you something."

"What is it, Blu?"

I looked into her aqua blue eyes. I could just melt away right now. She smiled and I couldn't get the words out of my mouth.

"I…I…"

"You can tell me. Come on."

"I…l-lo…love you."

"What?" she said with wide eyes of amazement.

I took both of her wings and said, "I…love you."

Just then, I heard loud cheers and whoops coming from Rafael, Nico, and Pedro.

"What did I tell you guys! That's my boy!" shouted Rafael.

Jewel looked at me and she started to tear up.

"I love you too."

She pulled me into a hug and we just could let go. My heart was beating faster and faster. She loves me too. She really does! After what felt like hours, but was actually about thirty seconds, we let go and Jewel kisses me. I was surprised but then I fell into the feeling and closed my eyes. I heard more cheering from the others. My heart exploded like fireworks and it was beating five times faster than normal. Without even thinking, I slowly raised my wings and pushed down hard, doing it again and again until I felt that I separated from Jewel.

"Blu!"

I opened my eyes, still moving my wings.

"What is it, Jewel?"

"You're flying!"

I looked at myself and saw that my feet were inches off of the ground. I couldn't believe it. I was actually flying! The others stood with their jaws dropped and eyes wide open.

"I…can fly. I CAN FLY!"

I was so excited. I started flying around up high. I figured out what she meant when she said that flying is freedom. The others started flying with me.

"You're doing it, Blu!" shouted Rafael. "Like I said, feel it in your heart."

I was definitely feeling it. I could feel my heart soaring and butterflies in my stomach, but in a way that made me feel great.

"I'm ready for Carnaval! Who wants to ride on my fruit?"

Luiz ran out of the garage wearing a ridiculous outfit and a huge fruit hat.

"Come on, guys! Let's celebrate Blu flying by going to the parade!" said Nico.

"Yeah! Are you ready, Jewel?" I asked.

"I'm ready, now that I'm with you."

I couldn't help but smile. I was with the most beautiful girl I ever met.

"What are we waiting for then? It's time for Carnaval!" shouted Rafael.

We were all excited as we flew off to the parade. Maybe Linda will be there.

Hmm…It's good, but it needs a darker shade of…Wait. Am I on right now? I am? Whoops! Anyway, I like how this came out, but it needs more chapters. Maybe later, if I get a review or 2. Hope you guys liked this.
