The first thing to be seen was a deep blue sky with some sparse clouds all around. It was dark, but not very much, and below the sky laid 3 baby cubs walking down a sidewalk along a street row of buildings. To the three bears, it looked like it was about 5 or 6 at night, but warm thankfully; if it were winter, the bears would not be as happy as they were now.
The three bears, Grizzly, the pack leader, Panda, the middle child, and Ice Bear, the youngest who never spoke, were all walking, completely oblivious to wherever it was they were going. The bears were in search of a place to sleep, after losing their box to rain damage, but the bears had no idea how bad the weather was in Santa Monica.
Suddenly, Panda looked up at Grizz and asked "Grizz, where do you think we can get some food? I'm starving!"
Grizz replied "We're all starving, Pan-Pan, but there's not much we can do about it. We don't have any money right now".
"I know, it just sucks is all. I mean, why didn't anybody donate anything today? You played that harmonica of yours so well."
"You think?"
"I don't know. It just seemed like it." He said as he raised his right paw and looked at Ice. "I'm sure you agree, right?"
Ice was a mute and never spoke a word, but simply looked up at Panda and shrugged his shoulders. His grin only made him seem unsupportive to Grizz's music skills.
Panda let out a sigh as he stared back at the ground again and said to Grizz "I just wish the world was a little more kind to us. It's one thing to live on our own, but to feel unappreciated and unloved? Sometimes I wonder if I'll just go to sleep and never wake up."
Grizz replied "DON'T SAY SUCH THINGS, DUDE! I know it's hard, but we are bears, and we can face any obstacle that stands in our way, whether it's finding food and shelter, or looking for a better life. We just need to think of something to pass the time. I heard that the less bored you are, the less hungry you feel."
"That makes sense, but what could we do to pass the time?"
"We could go dumpster diving again for some grub."
"We've been doing that for the last week though. I want something fresh, something that hasn't had a bite taken out of it nor has other garbage littered in/on it. Remember those pizza slices I found last time we did that? They were literally COVERED in MUSTARD! I don't like mustard and you know that. It was so disgusting having to eat that. I felt like I wanted to puke bro."
"Panda, you just gotta learn to take what you can get. Not everything will be perfect ya know, even the dream home or owner we have one day. Now, what could we do that will pass the time? Hmmm…"
From a distance, a crier was shouting on a street corner "COUPONS! FREE COUPONS TO THE SANTA MONICA PIER! Would you like a flyer, miss?"
Ice and Grizz looked up as Panda was still hanging his head, until Grizz said "Hey Panda, did you hear that? The man has coupons. I don't know what it is to, but there's gotta be something we can use. Come on!"
Panda raised his paw as Grizz and Ice got a head start and said "Grizz, wait up!"
The crier was still shouting his promos until Grizz got to the man and said "Excuse me sir. What are those flyers for?"
The Crier replied "Oh, these are promotional offers to the Santa Monica Pier, about the most fun attraction and touristing spot in all of town. There's rides, food, and fun, and it's only a couple blocks away lit-."
"Did you say food, and rides!"
"Why that's correct little man. In fact, take two of these flyers here. They're guaranteed to get you free admission to any ride at the pier."
"Cool! Thank you sir!" said Grizz, right up until Panda showed up behind him, panting lightly and said "Grizz, don't just leave me like that man."
Grizz ignored Panda and looked back up at the Crier and asked "Um, could we get one more of those please?"
"Well I really shouldn't, but you three look like you've been through a lot, so ok." , and hands Grizz one more flier.
"Thank you so much mister. Come on you guys, let's go."
The Bears start running away, but Grizz comes back from off screen and says "Uh, hey, where is the pier exactly", chuckling lightly as if he were embarrassed along with his confusion.
