*3rd POV*

Fernando, Linda and Tulio finally made it to the place. "Come on. Follow me." Fernando said getting off the motorcycle. "Uh..." Linda said as her and Tulio got off the bike, their hair a little crazy. They pant slightly.

Fernado pushed a box forward. He peaked inside, only to see all the birds...gone. "What?" He asked confused as Linda and Tulio followed him inside. "But...but the birds were here." Fernando said confused.

"Yeah, sure they were, kid." Tulio said not believing him. "I swear. The birds were right here." Fernando said gesturing around. "Well, how do you know?" Linda asked softly. Fernando looked down and faced her.

"B-Because...I'm...I'm the one who took them." Fernando said softly. "You?!" Linda asked in disbelief. Tulio looked proud of himself for not trusting Fernando. "I-I...I didn't want to hurt anybody, I-I just...I needed the money." Fernando told her. 

"But, Fernando, I trusted you." Linda said softly. "I know, but..." Fernando said before they heard voices. Tipa chuckled as him and Armando walked into the room. "Oh, man, that's good." Tipa said patting Armando's shoulder, only for him to stop.

Armando and Tipa saw Fernando standing in the room. "Hey, guys." Fernando said smiling. "What are you doing here?" Armando asked him. "I just wanted to see if you had any work for me." Fernando said trying to get information for Linda and Tulio.

"Well, if you were here two hours ago, you could've helped us load the--" Tipa said but Armando elbowed him. "Ow! What?!" Tipa asked Armando angrily. "Shut up!" Armando told him quietly. "So, wh-why are you guys dressed for Carnaval?" Fernando asked confused.

"So, no one will notice us when we smuggle these b--Ow!" Tipa said as Tipa poked his eyes. "Shut up!" Armando said to him. Tipa leaned towards Fernando. "We made a float." Tipa whispered to him.

"Oh. Oh, a-a float. So, you guys are going to the parade. Can I come? I'm a great dancer." Fernando said and Tulio and Linda looked at each other at the information. "Can he come? Come on, please? Three's better than two." Tipa said to Armando as he held Fernando close.

Armando groans. "Oh, fine. We got to hurry, though." Armando said gesturing with his hand. "Whoa, I almost forgot." Tipa said as he dropped Fernando to the ground. "Where'd I put it? I thought it was right here." Tipa said as he reached behind the crates.

Tulio and Linda had to dodge his hand before Tulio saw the hat and held it up close to his hand. "Ah, there it is. Huh. Got it." Tipa said as he put the hat on his head. He chuckled. "Let's go." Tipa said.

"Whew." Fernando said quietly. "Hurry up, kid." Armando told Fernando. "Can he ride on the plate with us?" Tipa asked but he got hit again. "Ow!" He said. "Shut up!" Armando said annoyed. 

Fernando looked at the creates Linda and Tulio were hiding behind sadly before he closed the door. Linda and Tulio peaked out from behind the creates. "No. We can't let them get on that plane." Tulio said.

Soon enough, they were back on the motorcycle, and Tulio was trying to start it as Linda sat behind him. "You can drive a motorcycle, right?" Linda asked to make sure. Tulio got it to start. "You insult me." Tulio said.

But they couldn't even take off as Tulio did something wrong, causing them to fall off the motorcycle. They gasped as they fell. They watched the motorcycle drive into a wall. "Ooh." Linda said softly. "No, I can't...drive a motorcycle." Tulio said before burying his face in his knees. 

Soon enough, Linda was the one driving and she was really good at it. Tulio yelled in surprised. "Whoa! it's just like riding a snowmobile!" Linda said as she chuckled before driving off with Tulio holding onto her. 

| Meanwhile |

Nigel walked through the destruction between the monkeys and birds. He groaned disgusted. He picked up the leader monkey. "What happened?" Nigel asked. "Papa?" The leader monkey whimpers. 

"What happened?!" Nigel demanded. The monkey let out a woozy groan. The same green bird that left, came out of her hiding spot and began flying before Nigel stopped her. "Oh, no, let me go!" She said in a squeaky voice.

"Stop your chirping and talk to me!" Nigel said. "No, no, no, I don't know anything! Help!" She shouted. "Hm, when I bite down on your head, will it go "pop!" or will it go "crack!"?" Nigel asked as he squeezed the small bird.

"Where are the cerulean birds? That means "blue", by the way." Nigel informed the bird. He stopped squeezing her. She gasped. "They escaped! Went to Luiz!" The bird said. "Anything else?" Nigel asked. 

"They said you were very nice." She said trying to get out of this easier. "Hmm, did they? Oh. Liar." Nigel said getting in her face, knowing she was lying about that part. "And handsome, too?" The bird said nervously. Nigel threw her causing her to knock into the leader monkey. "Never send a monkey to do a bird's job." Nigel said before flying off.

*My POV*

We were still riding the trolly to Luiz's. Jewel and Blu sitting ahead of us as Rafael, Nico, Pedro and I watched. Blu was sitting a few feet from Jewel. "Psst." Rafael said getting Blu's attention. Rafael gestured for them to get closer.

"Don't worry, I got it." Blu whispered to us. Blu moved a little closer to Jewel. "There he goes. That's my boy!" Rafael said quietly as Pedro, Nico and I were perched on something together. Blu tried to put his wing around Jewel, but she saw his wing.

Jewel looked at him smiling. "Ooh! Is it hot? I-I think I-I'm sweating. I didn't even think that was biologically possible, and yet...look." Blu said holding his wing up, causing Jewel to flinch away. "Oh, wow." Jewel said and looked away awkwardly along with Blu.

"Yeah, that's your boy, all right." Nico said as we chuckled. "Okay, so he needs a little help." Rafael said and I looked at him. "Little? Look at him!" I said gesturing. "Okay, a lot of help. Oh, come on, let's give him some. Set the mood." Rafael suggested and we smiled.

"All right, look. I'm on it. I know how to set...the mood. Check it out." He said as he flew slightly ahead and landed. "Get a, get a, get a, get a, get a girl. Get, g-get, g-get, get, get a girl. Take her, take her to the floor. Show her, show her how you roll. Drop it, drop it. Drop it low, drop it low, dr-drop it..." Pedro rapped before Rafael stopped him. 

"Whoa, whoa. What kind of a mood is that?" Rafael asked confused. "Pedro, Pedro a little too aggressive. Not hatin' on your creativity, but I think me and Izzy's got this one. Follow my lead." Nico said before taking his hat off.

He began whistling a beautiful melody. Pedro began playing the strings like a harp. "Now, that's more like it." Rafael said before flying off to knock the petals off the trees. I swayed to the whistling before joining Nico.

"Wasn't really thinking, wasn't looking, wasn't searching for an answer." Nico sang softly as he tapped his hat before putting it back on his head. We flew off. "In the moonlight." I sang softly as we flew to Blu before gesturing to Jewel.

"When I saw your face." Nico sang before we flew off after each other. "Wow." Jewel said softly. "Saw you looking at me." I sang softly. "What a beautiful sunset." Jewel said looking at the sunset. 

"Saw you peeping out, from under moonbeams." Nico and I sang softly. "Yeah." Blu said before he got nervous. "Psst. Blu? Down here. Just tell her "You have beautiful eyes."." Rafael whispered to him. "Through the palm trees, swaying in the breeze." Nico and I sang softly.

"That's good. Great idea." Blu whispered to him before facing Jewel. "I have beautiful eyes." Blu said as he looked intensely at Jewel. "I know I'm feelin' so much more than ever before." I sang softly as Nico, and I kept flying around.

"Uh....yeah, okay, sure, they're--they're nice." Jewel said as she slowly looked away from him. "No! Her eyes! Her eyes!" Rafael whispered to Blu desperately. "Oh. Right." Blu said. "And so, I'm givin' more to you than I thought I could do." Nico sang softly. 

"Your eyes are great, not mine. I mean, you know, mine are okay, but yours, uh, I bet you can see right through them." Blu said and Jewel slowly faced away from him as she sensed his awkwardness. 

"Blu! Just tell her how you feel." Rafael said as Nico was whistling the melody. Blu nodded softly. "Jewel?" Blu asked softly. "Yeah?" Jewel asked softly. "I-I've been wanting to tell you...that I...that I..." Blu said before one of the petals flew into his mouth, causing him to gasp and choke.

Jewel chuckles. "How sweet. You're getting choked up. Oh! Oh, you're choking! Uh...okay, all right." Jewel said before she began helping Blu as me, Rafael and Pedro watched as Nico kept singing. 

"I know, I'm feeling so much more, than ev--" Nico sang but was cut off as I nudged him. We watched as Jewel helped Blu. "Stay with me, Blu. Hyah! One more. Come on. One....more...time! Hyah!" Jewel shouts as she kept helping him.

"Yep, that's my boy." Rafael said disappointed as we kept watching them. Nico made a descending whistle sound and imitated an explosion. I sighed and facepalmed with annoyance at the situation.
