Rio X OC

Chapter 2

Through the years,the bond between human and birds grew as they grew together side by side.
Doing anything and everything,the captured moments now frozen hung on walls and kept in frames .

In a certain morning, in the state of Minnesota,a woman groans at the sounds of her morning alarm,"stupid clock"

The woman in her bed starts bashing the alarm to the point where it fell, causing the connecting plug to come out, however to her confusion,"huh?"the sounds don't stop and soon switches to a different noise.

The woman chuckles at the sight of the culprits,one with her glasses and the other continuously making sounds with perfect imitation skills

She touches the beak of the female spix causing her to beep and stop.The spix with the glasses lowers his head to put the spectacles on the woman, she then scratches the male causing him to purr

"Good morning, Blu,"she chuckled as she switched to scratch the female,"you too Dew."

In the bathroom the three face the mirror as they brush their teeth and ....beaks.
Water swishing away,the three gargle as Linda,spits out the water followed by Dew, however,Blu swallows his gargling water causing himself to "blech" earning sounds of disgust from the human and a look of disapproval from his sister.

The pair of macaws expertly navigate the house sliding down,and easily maneuvering their bodies to climb on certain contraptions meant for them.

"Come here. Tyler Blu Gunderson! You know these vitamins are good for you," said the woman as the male spix keeps dodging the spoon containing vitamins

" Ooh. What's this?"she shook a box of fruit crunchies to which the spix responded by squaking

Taking advantage of the moment,Linda feeds the bird the vitamins,much to his disgust.

Sliding downstairs to where his sister was,they bump talons on the way as Blu types the computer while his sister stays on Linda's shoulder.

The screen appears to show a background image of Linda in a pirate costume with Blu on her arm and Dew on her shoulder,all equally dressed to match the theme.

Blu reassumes his rightful position besides Linda bumping fists and imitating a booming sound.

The three assumed their daily positions as their bookstore opened for the day.

                                    -✧⁠◝▿◜⁠✧-

" Enjoy the new book,"said Linda

"Thanks, Linda,"replied the customer while leaving

"Bye, now."

" Yes, Mom, I'd love to visit. But who would take care of Blu and Dew ?Mom, they don't have kennel's for parrots. Here's your hot chocolate, Blu."said Linda and while talking to her mother,she handed the respective comfort drinks and meal to each of her birds,"Dew,your favourite, pancakes,"

Blu squacked in response from inside his cage while Dew waddled to the table from the stack of books she was resting on.

"Just how you two like it,"she added,"Plus, I don't trust leaving Blu or Dew with just anyone. No, I don't have a bird-sitter..."

"Ah. This is the life."he sniffs his drink as he comes out of his cage,"The perfect marshmallow-to-cocoa ratio.One, two, three, four, five..."he counts the floating marshmallows and soon another one floats up "six!"

Dew starts stabbing her pancakes as she flings the berries to her mouth with her beak,"Perfect as always,Mmm."

Just as Blu takes a sip of his drink,a snowball crashed on the front glass of the store .

The culprits appeared to be two birds laughing while holding another snowball,ready for the throw.

"Well, well, if it isn't my favorite nerd bird,"teased one of the birds outside.

"Very... very funny. Real mature,"responded Blu rationally

" Hey, pet! Where you migrating to this year, huh? The breakfast nook?" The two laugh at their own joke as they proceed to throw another snowball.

"Aiishh,Wild birds,"grumbled Dew

"Throw all the snowballs you want. We're protected by this magical force field called glass. It's what keeps us so toasty and warm in here while you guys are out there freezing your..."said Blu as he dipped a cookie in his hot chocolate.

" La, la, la, la, la! "Laughed the birds, singing as Blu looked up to see the birds showing their behinds to him, making fun.

"Classy,"shrugged Blu

Just then a man in glasses slips on the ice tripping and startling the two birds.His gaze falls on Blu as his eyes brighten up

The man gasped,"Arara! Arara! Arara! Ara... "

The man started sliding forward scaring Blu,he then crashed on the front glass.

"Did he break his nose?"questioned Dew, voice muffled with a mouthful of pancakes as Blu kept staring at the man's face, sliding down the glass to fall down

"Are you all right?"inquired Linda as she rushed to open the door of her bookstore.
