The Truth Behind the Tummy

Chapter One – A Ponder Upon a Cloud

Grumpy Bear, that's me. I may come off as grumpy, but there is a truth behind the frown.

Maybe a smile?

Nah, who likes happy endings anyways, didn't you see the Caretanic, Care bears were lost? That made about a billion dollars here in Care-a-lot?

So this is the truth behind me!

Grumpy bear jumped into his Rainbow Roller, each care bear had got one. He stared the RR (Rainbow Roller) and flew into the clouds. He needed sometime to think. Sure being a Care bear was great? I mean why wouldn't it be? But he always waned to be something more. Something a inseey bit more important. Every one loved the Care Bears, sure. But not all of them, They loved Funshine, for he always brought fun, Cheer she was always loved, Hugs and Tugs are just so cute, and then you know the rest of them. Grumpy felt unneeded as no one cared.

Grumpy kept pushing these thoughts away, until today these thoughts got him thinking even more. If he was human he could be anything, a director, a naturalist, or even a hobo. Or maybe not that last one, but he could be anything.

Grumpy landed in a purple shaded cloud, and plopped down. He sat down and looked up at the clouds, each one looked like a Care Bear. He spotted every Care Bear, There was Wish bear holding a star, Share bear holding a heart, Champ holding a trophy, he even spotted a few of their cousins, but there were two missing, and one of them was him.

Grumpy let out a long sad sigh, he felt even more left out. Maybe he could work for Shreaky or Beastly? Nah, there WAY to mean. I mean he still is a Care Bear. He starred down at Care-a-lot castle, it would be the perfect place for every bear, but Grumpy. Maybe being a care bear isn't as good as it used to be, people are slowly not believing in us. Maybe being a Care bear is a joke?

He tried hard again to push these thoughts away, but there hey sat molded into his mind. He decided to lay up there for a longer time, dragging his paw in the clouds. Grumpy for once felt non-grumpy, he was at peace, totally calm. Maybe it was that cough syrup he had taken earlier to rid him of his cough. But we can pretend that it is him, and his is serene. Shhhhhhh.

Would care-a-lot miss me if I was gone, would they even CARE? Grumpy thought out loud punching his fist into the cloud causing a small hole to appear. He looked down at the cloud, even the cloud looked down with him on it. It also might be that Cherry Pie he ate, but he doesn't realize that he may of put on a few extra pounds. That's the least of his worries. He heard a cloud car drive up and stop on the cloud, he sighed, and heard another bear sigh. He wasn't alone, not anymore. He turned around to see another sad Care bear looking at him.
