Hello again ...

Due to my duties as a good companion with the man I love I could not publish the chapter and well, I already gave you my pretext, so without anything else to say I will let you read the chapter.

One more thing about this chapter is an honor for my friend "Lila Macaw", who almost a week ago was her birthday and as a good friend I decided to do a chapter related to her birthday.

I hope you enjoy it friend of your friend Jaqui who sends you a big hug from Argentina

Happy birthday Lila

The sunset was approaching in Rio de Janeiro and many young minors returned to their homes or left their homes to visit a place like the cinema, the beach or the city center with their families, but not for Jaqueline, it was the first The time she had left her home without her mother's company, it was the first time she had been invited to a birthday party and she was excited to spend the day with her new high school friends on the skating rink to celebrate Lila's birthday her new best friend

"Hello Jaqui, you arrived" Blu said when she saw that Jaqueline arrived at the entrance to the skating rink with a small gift on her wings

"Hi Blu, hi Rafael" Jaqueline greeted "Who are you waiting for?"

"We wait for Nico" Rafael replied "it took us a long time to get in without him"

"What gift did you bring Lila?" Blu asked.

"It is not a big deal, but I did it in our drawing class" Jaqui answered her friend's question "I hope Lila likes it"

"Well, come on" suggested Rafael

"Wait, friends!" Nico spoke running and carrying the gift on her right wing "don't leave me behind"

"You're late" the toucan clarified

"Sorry, sorry" Nico replied approaching her friends "I was busy with another party" Nico held her breath.

"With the bully" replied Jaqueline

"Pedro is not a bully" Nico corrected defending Pedro

"Then why did Pedro hit you?" Jaqueline asked again.

"Don't judge if you didn't know him before. Jaqueline"

"Seeing what she did to you answers my question"

"I agree with her" Blu commented

"Well, enough is enough" changed the conversation Rafael "we are here to celebrate our friend's birthday, not to argue"

"Alright Rafi, come on"

The four young men entered the skating rink that contained a huge rink to put rollerblading on. Around the rink there were seats and tables, there were also some small food stands to eat and drink something while you had fun skating with your friends or with your partner.

Above the rink there was a disco ball and some lights that illuminated the place to encourage skating with a little music since the DJs were at the top of the rink. Lila's parents had rented a part of the track so they could celebrate their youngest daughter's birthday with all her friends from school for just a few hours. Lila came dressed in black pants and a lilac jacket that combined with her eyes

"Happy birthday Lila" Rafael and Blu spoke drawing Lila's attention

"Thank you guys" Lila thanked with a small blush receiving a hug from Blu and Rafael

"We brought you this is part of both" Blu said giving a gift to Lila

"We hope you like Lila" added Rafael

"Thank you", Lila thanked once again, "Come on guys, we have pizza and soft drinks"

Blu and Rafael met with the few people who were invited to Lila's party, such as Dayana, Brisa, and some of Lila's music classmates.

"Hello happy birthday Lila"

"Jaqui, I thought you wouldn't come" Lila commented after receiving a hug from her best friend

"I was a little late. Anyway, I brought you a gift "Jaqueline gives her a little gift" it's not a big deal but I hope you like it"

As Lila and Jaqueline talked, Nico looked at Lila from a distance, Lila's beautiful eyes and hairstyle attracted him too much. They had barely known each other for a month and Nico had feelings for her. After Jaqueline left. Nico approached her with the gift he had bought in his hands.

"Hi Lila" waving to Nico "happy birthday"

"Hi Nico if you came" Lila replied "thank you"

"I would not be absent at my friend's party," replied the canary "I brought you a gift" gives her the gift "I was hoping you would use it during the party"

"Do you really want me to use it?"

"I saw it when I was on the road and I assumed it would match your face well" Nico looks at the bag "I think the gift bow fell off when I started running"

"Okay, if you say it will fit me, I'll open it now"

With a little excitement, Lila opened her friend's gift when she saw what the bag had, her face changed from emotion to amazement (like Jewel in Rio during the tram ride)

"Aww ... how cute" Lila replied when she saw the gift

"You liked me" asked Nico with emotion

"It's a wig from the 80s"

"If it's a wait ... did you say wig?" Nico immediately takes Lila's wig off "oh, I didn't bring you the wrong bag"

"What do you mean?"

"Lila, this is not your gift by mistake. I took the wrong bag and I...

"Listen easy, I'm not upset"

"Really?"

"Yes and it was not necessary that you buy me a gift" Lila commented with a smile "I'm glad you came Nico"

"It's okay if you say so" replied the canary with a little blush "but when we go back to school I will give you the right gift"

"Okay, I'll wait but now let's have fun"

Nico felt like a fool because of what had happened to him with Lila wondering if she thought that if he was a failure or a clown, Nico sat down along with his other friends and some music classmates who managed to recognize the canary (they were both Lila's and Nico's friends) and one of them was Nathaniel, a red-eyed macaw with red and blue feathers on his head.

"Boys he is Nathaniel is my partner in music class" Lila introduced her friend

"Hello," said everyone except Nico

"Hi," Nathaniel greeted Lila's new friends.

After eating and spending time with everyone sharing their tastes, Lila and her friends prepared to skate on the skating rink while their parents ordered the managers of the skating rink to prepare the table so they could divide the birthday cake for their daughter.

"This is going to be fun" Jaqueline celebrated as she put on her skates

"Is this the first time you skate?" Lila asked putting on the skates the same color as her name

"Yes"

"And you are not afraid?"

"A little, but there will always be fear when you try something new" Jaqueline replied after putting on the skates "well, see you on the rink"

"Hello, your friend is a little strange, don't you think?" Nathaniel spoke

"What do you mean strange?" I clarify lilac

"Why does she walk that way?" the macaw wondered

"To be honest, I have no idea"

"You never asked him."

"I'm afraid to ask him how about he gets mad"

"I don't think it bothers him" Nathaniel answered positively "It depends on how you ask your friend, I also see that they get along very well and I don't think your friend gets mad at your question"

"It's true" Lila replied

After putting on the skates, Lila approached her friend Jaqueline, who was talking to Dayana and Brisa in one part of the rink, this time she would gather the courage to ask him the big question that the whole school was asking behind her. a step away from talking to her best friend Nico caught her eye

"Hi Lila"

"Yes"

"Since I was wrong about your gift, I was wondering if you would like to skate with me"

Lila was praised for Nico's proposal and forgot what she had to do and I gladly agree to skate with the little canary "of course Nico. I would like to skate with you" Lila replied

Nico held the wing of her blue friend and they prepared to skate at a distance from them. Rafael observed the change of attitude that Nico had with Lila thinking if his friend was in love with her.

(The song is called I Gootta Feeling - The Black Eyed Peas. We all know that song and it has beautiful meaning)

"I want everyone to get up and start somersaults," said the DJ through a microphone, "because today is a special day since today we celebrate Lila's birthday"

"Woo ... Juu ..." All the guests celebrated

"And let the party begin"

They all started skating around the skating rink and, since most of them were friends, they were separated; some already had experience skating like Blu, who immediately started skating faster like Brisa and Dayana.

Some were not skating experts like Jaqueline, who slowly skated until she felt a little safe and let the wheels of the skates do the rest of the work while Lila and Nico skated together at a distance.

I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good good night, a feeling

(Lila begins to skate faster)

I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good good night, a feeling

(Nico follows behind her and begins to skate)

I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good good night, a feeling

I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good good night, a feeling

(Everyone begins to skate in a circle making different movements)

Tonight's the night night
Let's live it up
I've got my money
Let's spend it up
Go out and smash it
Like all my Gods
Jump off that sofa
let's get get off

(Nico continues to watch Lila skate in the middle of the rink and her movements leave him hypnotized)

I know that we'll have a ball
If we get down
And go out
And just loose it all
I feel stressed out
I wanna let it go
Lets go way out spaced out
And losing all control

(Nico is courageous and takes Lila's wing and begins to skate with her)

Fill up my cup
Mozoltov!
Look at her dancing
Just take it off
Lets paint the town
we'll shut it down
Let's burn the roof
And then we'll do it again

(Blu watches Lila and Nico skate together and that makes him happy just like the rest of the others)

Let's do it (bis)
And live it up
Let's do it (bis)

Let's do it (bis)
And live it up
Let's do it (bis)

(Everyone starts skating in a dance style)

Let's do it (bis)
Let's live it up
let's do it…
Here we come
Here we go
We gotta rock
Easy come
Easy go
Now we on top
Feel the shot
Body rock
Rock it, don't stop
Round and round
Up and down
Around the clock

(To make skating more fun Nico brings the 80's wig and puts it on and everyone else takes turns putting it on)

Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday
Friday, Saturday
Saturday to Sunday

Get get get get get with us
You know what we say
Party every day
Party every day

And I'm feeling
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good good night

And I'm feeling
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good good night

After a good time skating Lila and her friends left the rink to be able to break their cake as the last activity on the skating rink. The cake was chocolate with some cherries and in the middle it said happy birthday Lila

Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday to you

Happy birthday dear Lila

Happy Birthday to you

After singing Happy Birthday, Lila blew out the candles with a bit of blush as her friends took pictures the moment they started singing Happy Birthday to her.

"Bravo", all the young people applauded the moment Lila put out the candles

"Thank you guys, you are all super", he thanked Lila with some tears "I did not expect to have magnificent friends like you, I hope that our friendship lasts forever"

"Aww ..." they all said after hearing Lila's words

"I'm already sentimental" Nico spoke

"Me too" replied Rafael

"A souvenir photo, come on everyone, everyone," Nathaniel suggested as he pulled out his cell phone.

"I'm not a lover of Nathaniel photos," Lila reminded her friend.

"Come on Lila, we want to remember this day"

"Don't be a friend of spoilers" added Jaqueline "in the end no one will see this us right?"

"Yes ..." everyone responded with emotion

"But can we upload them to Instagram?" Rafael asked

"Only one photo is fine" Lila replied to her friend's doubt

Before they distributed the cake Nathaniel took a few photos of her friend Lila with all her high school friends, some wanted to have one more souvenir photo like Nico and Jaqui (including Nathaniel). Half an hour later Lila and her friends left the track of skating together with their parents remembering the time when they had all skated together while walking to the nearest park

"You looked funny with the wig" Brisa spoke with a laugh to her friend Rafael

"It matched your beak," added Lila.

"And with your feathers" Nathaniel spoke

"Lila, that was the best gift of all," said Dayana with a laugh.

"Actually it was the wrong gift" Nico corrected "I will give you the real gift when you go back to class"

"Blu you skate amazing, how did you learn to skate like that?" Lila asked changing the subject

"I used to skate in Minnesota when I went to the park with my mother," Blu replied to her friend's question.

"Jaqueline almost slipped on the track" Rafael reminded Jaqueline

"It was the first time that I skated on wheels. Next time I will wear a helmet"

"Let's do something fun" Nathaniel proposed when they reached the center of the park

"Like what?" Lila asked

"Well hmm ... how about we play on the playground" Blu suggested pointing to the children's games

"We are too big to touch the swings" commented Brisa

"There is nothing wrong with reliving your childhood," said Jaqueline, being positive, "come on."

"She is also right and what else can you do in the park at eight o'clock at night" replied Nico

With no other option, the youth gang went to have fun on the playground, which was not as bad as they thought and they continued to celebrate Lila's birthday, the activity reminded Lila that she was becoming a teenage woman, but as she said Jaqueline. There won't be a time when your inner child leaves you

After a good time of fun and with some souvenir photos, it was time to say goodbye, since it was a little late.

"Thanks for the invitation Lila" Brisa and Dayana said goodbye

"Thanks for coming," Lila thanked her friends.

"We will see each other in classes Lila" Nathaniel said goodbye

"Let me know if the gift I gave you is made for you"

"I will do it"

While Nathaniel was saying goodbye to Lila Rafael, Blu and Nico waited their turn to say goodbye to Lila, but Nico wanted to be the last of all to be alone with her.

"Thank you for inviting us to Lila", thanked Blu

"You're welcome guys"

"I hope you like the gift"

"We will see you in classes"

"Goodbye"

Once Rafael and Blu walked away, Nico approached Lila so he could talk to her before her parents called her to go home.

"It was a great party, don't you think," Nico reminded Lila.

"If it was a great party I had never had so much fun"

"You skate very well"

"Like you" Lila replied "by the way I will return the wig" Lila gives her the bag where the wig was stored "in the end your wrong gift was useful for the party"

"I think so" Nico continues to blush when he sees Lila very closely "well I'll see you in class"

"Okay see you in class Nicky" Lila said goodbye to Nico giving him a kiss on the cheek before walking away from him

The kiss left Nico as red as a tomato, the little canary felt butterflies fluttering in his belly without anyone seeing him forming a smile after his friend left the park.

"Someone is happy" said a mysterious voice

"Pedro" Nico spoke with a small impression and changing her attitude when recognizing the voice of her friend "what are you doing here?" I ask looking at the cardinal

"I realized that you had the wrong bag and I brought you the correct one" Pedro gives him the bag with the bow that showed it was a gift "one of your friends uploaded a photo on Instagram where they celebrated your friend's birthday in skating on the track and I decided to give it to you but I think I'm late"

"You didn't see anything true" asked Nico changing the subject

"Enough" Pedro replied with a smile remembering the moment when Nico blushed with Lila's kiss

"Please don't tell anyone" Nico begged "my friends would make fun of me and Lila probably won't want to talk to me if she finds out that ..."

"Don't worry, old man, I won't tell anyone," Pedro clarified with a confident voice.

"Really?"

"You have my word from one musician to another musician" answered Pedro, narrowing his wing with that of the canary

"Thanks Pedro I owe you one" Nico thanked in return for the friendly handshake

"Then tell me, what is that Lila girl like? Is she cute? "

"Hey, why so much interest?"

"I just want clues" answered Pedro in a mocking tone to annoy his friend

Although they had only known each other for a short time, Nico decided to open up with Pedro since he did it before the party. He decided to do the same. Both friends continued talking for a long time until they both took different paths to return to their ho
