Rio: Love at first Fight

Stolen

This is the final countdown to Carnaval! Let's Samba! The radio announced.

Sylvio slowly lost his statue-like appearance and began to dance to the music. Very quickly, he fell into a dance craze. Then there was that noise...

Sylvio snapped into super-spy mode, searching for that noise. He pressed his back up against the wall, right next to the door to the treatment room, shining his light in through the frosted glass. Stealthily Sylvio crouched down and opened the door to peek his head in and shine the light around the room. The beam fell upon the innocent little cockatoo on the floor, sitting next to broken glass.

"Ohhhh," Sylvio adored. He felt bad for the little guy, picking him up. "Come here little birdie. It's ok. I got you. I got you."

SLAM! Very suddenly the innocent bird became violent, forcing an anesthetic cloth against Sylvio's mouth. He landed backside down on the hard floor with a loud thud, the cockatoo standing tall above his victim. But that was not the end. The bird had to let in a more capable human in to finish the plan.

"Excuse me," he complained, "I am trying to SLEEP."

"Oh, I'm sorry, sleepyhead. I'm trying to ESCAPE."

"Escape?" Blu was bewildered. "Why? This cage is awesome."

"This ca... Ha!" Jewel couldn't believe her own ears. "Oh, what was I thinking. I wouldn't expect a PET to understand."

"A pet? Did you just call me a PET? For the record I am not a PET. I am a companion. And you know what? Do whatever you want, because tomorrow Linda will come for me and this whole nightmare will be over."

"Incredible." Jewel flew to a branch and continued the argument. "You'd rather be with a... a human, than with your OWN KIND!"

"Well THAT HUMAN has given me love and affection for the past fifteen years, whereas my own kind tried to strangle me after fifteen seconds."

"Well, because of them, I lost EVERYTHING. YOU CAN'T TRUST THEM!" Then, contradictory to her own words, Jewel spotted an open door and flew straight for it, a mistake on her part.

"Of course, you can trust humans..." Blu noticed she'd disappeared. "Jewel? Jewel?"

Then there was that kid with a sack; a sack that swallowed Blu up...
