Gentle heart, Cozy heart and Loyal heart are casually sitting in the forest of feelings, having a picnic lunch. These three, although they have there moments, are considered the most innocent members of the Care bear family, especially ever sense the whole kingdom has gone into a rebellious teen like phase. Gentle heart is naturally innocent, and any incident she gets caught in, she was probably pulled in by Treat heart, her best friend. Cozy heart never really was in to that stuff, especially ever sense she became Harmony's lead photographer. Loyal heart takes his role as a care bear to heart, he feels like going crazy would go against his morals. They were just enjoying there picnic minding there own business.

"I'm telling you ladies, this is the best picnic spot in the whole kingdom of caring. Right by the rainbow waterfall, in an area full of tree's. What more could you ask for on a saturday morning."

"Not to change the subject randomly on you Loyal heart. But was Proud heart busy or something."

"Oh, she is going into town to get some groceries from the market, getting things from the forest is difficult."

"I suppose, she is a woman who likes to do things herself."

"Being her roommate, i know this first hand. She won't even let me clean my own room, she has a very specific way of doing things."

"You do have to admit though, she is good at what she does."

"I suppose Gentle heart"

About 15 minutes go bye, and Cozy heart starts to get kinda bored. She wore a swimsuit under her clothes, intending to take a swim in the Rainbow river. She took of her normal clothes and jumped in.

"I'm telling you guys, the water is amazing today. You should so hop in."

Gentle heart liked the idea, but had a reason not too just yet.

"Maybe later, I want to finish my Cake and the rest of my meal."

Loyal heart on the other hand, looked out right offended the second the suggestion passed Cozy hearts lips. He went up to the river to speak his mind.

"Cozy, as much as i appreciate the idea, not only am i not wearing a swimsuit, and am not jumping in wearing boxers, its also rude to the river."

"Rude to the river... What in the world are you talking about"

"Look, i'm just saying it would be best if you left the river alone. Every single time someone messes with something here, its bound to get messed up."

"Dude, that is absolutely ridiculous. I'm a diligent person, do i look like Funshine too you."

"You shouldn't say that about Funshine."

"Oh come on, its not like he can here us. You are seriously too much."

Loyal heart during the earlier years of the Care bears was admittedly a little too straight edged for his own good. But he still knew how to have a good time every once in a while. But how the bears have changed over the years has had an effect on him. When it started with Funshine he didn't think much of it. But as more and more bears started to have the tendencies of your average people on earth, he instantly changed. He felt like the whole point of the Care bears was being disrespected. Feeling the purity of the group was being sucked away day by day. This caused him to become even more strict in his moral, not even letting the smallest thing slide. To everyone else, they feel like he is being too moral, but to him, there was a perfectly good reason to recede into an uptight shell. However, he wouldn't publicly give some of his more... Unfavorable opinions on people.

"Look man, i'm quite prudent myself. I don't do any crazy parties, i never have had a sip of alcohol in my life, and yet even i think your to prudent."

"Prudent... I'm just up holding my duty as a Care bear. Clearly something which...

Loyal heart goes on and on about purity, as Cozy heart goes on and on about how unreasonable he is. Gentle heart, as usual, doesn't want to get involve with the fight, lucky for her, she found a way to diffuse the situation.

"Hey guys look, Proud heart is back"

Loyal heart and Cozy heart rush over the Proud heart, who is walking back from the central part of town with groceries. However, Loyal heart instantly notices something odd. She bought twice the groceries she said she would, and Proud heart was not an impulse shopper at all.

"Um, Proud heart, whats with the extra groceries. I didn't know we would need that much."

"Oh, this bag is not for us, its for brighto."

"Did something happen to him"

"Honestly... I don't know. He has be in his house for a week, and has not returned outside. I was gonna check on him and see if he was alright."

Gentle heart instantly popped up at the idea of seeing Bright heart.

"What are we waiting for lets go"

The four trek on to Bright hearts house, only to find that the door was slightly opened. This was odd sense he always kept his place locked. When your Bright heart, you can pretty much make a home security system from scratch, so this was really odd.

"Ok, now in really concerned. Lets get in right away"

Everyone gets in, super worried about Brighto's safety. But there fears were allayed when they found him on the couch, He looked half asleep half awake. He had a old tape recorder, a piece of film, a compass and a magnet. Gentle heart instantly goes up to him and sits with him on the couch.

"Oh my god, you poor thing. What in the world is wrong with you.

"Directional tracking device... Shows peoples previous location... Keep running into problems... 7 days... 50 cups of coffee... Can't do this..."

Gentle heart grabs a blanket, and wraps it around Bright heart. Loyal heart went to the kitchen, and got him a glass of water. Everyone then sat down in the living room, trying to ask Bright heart about everything going on. Bright heart explains it like this.

"You guys remember that one time Piece-of-heart was kidnaped by No heart, but he took her to an alternate location besides his castle"

"Yeah, that was a real hassle. We found her right at the last second, if it weren't for Loyal heart recognizing her sent."

"Exactly, we need to be sure that an incident like that doesn't happen again. That is exactly why i'm trying to make sure that i can get this device done."

"Hey, not to be rude brighto dear, but aren't the gps trackers on our phones enough."

"Don't you remember what happened with her. Her phones was tampered with by No heart. Thats why everyone started panicking in the first place. We not only need a way to track missing bears down, but track the way they went too. Thats why i have worked on this device non-stop for the past week, i haven't even showered."

"Don't think we can't notice dude."

"Bright heart, the fact that you want to help us is great, but not at the neglect of your health. I'm gonna carry you up to your room."

Bright heart looked a bit in denial for a second or two. But then he conceded."

"Alright, thanks guys."

Each member grabs a limb and carries Bright heart up stairs to his bedroom, the second they drop him, he does off almost instantly. The group starts to get ready to leave, but the Gentle heart speaks up.

"Guys, i'm gonna stay at Bright heart's for a little bit, incase anything happens you feel me."

"I'm not gonna stop you. We will lock the door on the way out, be careful now.

Everyone else leaves the room, as Gentle heart looks at him sleeping. There is nothing else she could say but.

"Oh... You poor thing."

Do your best walks to the coffee shop, which conveniently is really close to his house. The cafe is run by Share bear, being kinda of underused, Share needs a way to support herself. Tenderheart has been picky in more recent times on sending the right bears on certain missions. And he has been picky on sending someone on a mission, even though all the bears can be helpful in basic situations. Share, being a very creative person, has become an sales woman. Causing care cafe to be born, although it was usually run with Share directly at the cafe, but Bright heart being Bright heart, made it so the cafe could run itself in her absence. Today happened to be one of those days. Not surprisingly, Do your best ordered a drink called Hangover cure, Triple shot. He got his drink and went to find Always there. Usually afternoons were not a busy time for the coffee shop. But for some reason there was a good portion of people there that day for some reason. So it took him a while to find her, until she noticed her at the back of the cafe. She signaled to him and sat down at her table. She instantly noticed that he looked terrible.

"I don't want to be rude or anything. Can i just be entirely blunt with you."

"I know what you're gonna say, so go right ahead."

"You look absolutely terrible. Are you doing ok."

"No, I'm really not"

"A hangover cure... Really."

"Trust me you don't want to know what i have been through today. But i look, i just need to get something off my chest"

"This has to do with Champ, doesn't it."

"... yes"

Always there has known about Champ's issues for a while now, but Do your best never liked to talk about the issue. She finds it quite caring that Do your best took him in. But she could see that it was taking a giant toll on him. She knew immediately that this was serious, a series intervention"

"I'm shocked your doing this, afterall you aren't the type to want to be that vocal about your issues."

"I suppose, but even i have a breaking point. I guess i finally gave into my emotions, and need to be more vocal"

"Don't worry about a single thing. I am hear to listen to you and nothing less. Don't you dare be afraid to start rambling, i will listen no matter what"

Hearing this made Do your best feel better. He starts to give his opinion.

"I think it's obvious that i let Champ into my place when Cheer broke up and kicked him out. I was just thinking i was gonna be temporarily helping him until he settled in. But that, definitely was not what happened. It all started with him just having hook up's more then usual."

"I will admit, i'm guilty of being with him at one point. I usually don't do that, but i was kinda lonely at that time. Having Rainbow heart and Piece of heart at home helps now a days.

"I know. But then he started drinking his sorrows out the window. I know you could say Play-a-lot is a bit tipsy on the alcohol. But his beer drinking takes the cake."

"Hey, i don't want to be rude or anything, but what about him lately has put you over the edge."

Do your best was silent, he does not want to tell anyone what happened between him and Champ last night. Even if Always there was a close friend who would never tell, he was not that type of guy.

"Um... It's really personal... Like really personal."

"Don't worry, i'm not gonna pry. Anyways, you can continue."

"I mean, i don't know what to think sometimes. He went down so suddenly after a breakup, and i don't get why. He seemed a little upset, but i never thought it might become this. But you want to know what makes me super mad, more mad then the drinking, more mad then the outbursts, more mad then what happened today... What people keep telling me i should do about it. Just look at this text from Harmony,"

Do your best pulls his phone out of his belly badge. It takes him less then 5 seconds to pull up the text, and give the phone to Always there. The text message reads "Dude, you do realize that Champ is a lost cause. As much as i can appreciate your loyalty, you really just need to give up on him. He is to toxic." Before Always there could even bother to respond, Do your best took the phone back, and started rambling.

"This absolutely pisses me off, i never asked her for her opinion. And no no no no no, she is not the only one. I get told this by so many different personalities, all the freaking. I just freaking love it. We're the Care bears, are purpose was to make are feeling know, to never give up on even the toughest kids, and always using are feeling to others benefit. And yet they tell me this. It beyond disgusts me, i will never give up on him, even if it takes me too my grave."

Always there couldn't help but just stare at him in astonishment. She already was gonna be on his side regardless. But in those few words, she gained a beyond amazing amount of respect for him. Despite his closed of nature, she could tell he had a big heart.

"You are beyond correct. You have my support fully in this situation, we will help him. You know what, why not start right now."

Always there grabs Do your bests hand, and practically dragged him out of there.

"But wait, we don't have any plans"

"Who needs um, last time i checked, there are only 24 hours in a day. Were starting now."

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

Bedtime and Sweet dreams were over by Care-a-lots hot spring, which is on the border between The Forest of feelings, and the Neon stars area. But they weren't there for the reason you think. They had bags and towels with them, making them look like they head a scheduled hot spring session, but stopped at a giant rock right by its entrance. Sweet dreams gets a pen out of her bag, and writes the word redemption on the rock. The rock proceeded to split open, and the two bears jumped in. They dropped down to find Share bear, Oopsy, Smart heart, and Hopeful heart all sitting on armchairs. Share addresses them.

"Oh, you two are finally here."

"Sorry if we're slightly late Share. We had a later night then usual last night, and we both need our sleep."

"Goodness nows that what you guys love to do, don't worry about it. Just come have a seat."

The two sit down in one of the chairs. Share gets up in front of the group to address why they were gathered here.

"I think we all know why we are gathered here today. Are positions in the Care bears have been disrespected, ignored and undermined for far to long. It never used to be this was for any of us in this room. Until the council was introduced. Before that everyone considered a leader was unofficially assigned, and it should have stayed that way from the beginning. But i think we can all agree on which council member is responsible."

Share pulls out a board with a curtain on it. When she pulls it off, there is a picture of Tenderheart.

"This old ruddy duddy is behind all of our sorrow and pain."

Hopeful heart pipes in disagreeing with the statement.

"Not to be annoying or anything. But can we really blame all of are problems on one bear."

"Hopeful you are a sweetheart. And i would love that not to be the case i really do. But my evidence suggests otherwise."

Share pulls of the picture, which show a bunch of diagrams which she explains.

"I don't think it takes a genius to know about the Tenderheart vs Brave heart power struggle. They certainly don't ever try to hide it. As for other members. True and Noble heart act as moderators, and Love-a-lot is obviously supporting her boyfriend. Now before we start the facts, don't get me wrong, Brave heart has some personal "Issues" of his own. He does have 2x less productivity as a leader, and has made more easy or technical mistakes. But what pisses me off, and should piss everyone off. He treats the situation like he is a victim, and not like a disagreement. We all agree he also has problems.

"Hey not to be rude, but who made all these diagram."

"Oopsy, they don't call me Smart heart for nothing. Everything is open source, thanks to Noble and True heart. You can continue."

"Thanks Smart heart. Anyway, lets take a look at this chart. Now Bedtime and Sweet dreams, you have beef for a different reason. But as for everyone else, look at this. Tenderheart clearly plays favorites. Not shockingly at all. Cheer, Harmony and Grumpy are the top 3 in caring mission numbers last time Tenderheart was in charge for a week. They have about double of Friend and Secret, who are number 4 and 5. If we go down the list, Us four are at the bottom, with yours truly in dead last."

Everyone gives each other serious looks. Care bears being there lively hood, this was really offending to all of them.

"Now lets look at the chart representing last time Brave heart was in charge. Although there are some slight discrepancy. For the most part its almost equal between all members. He actually has some respect for everyone, he may be brash but he has heart. Tenderheart runs this place like a corporation. Sense when was that how the Care bears worked."

Throught the speech, Oopsy starts to look emotional. He is not crying, but looks on the verge of doing so. He can't help but finally speak up.

"Its bull i tell you, bull. Sometimes i don't think he understands what i have to go through. I'm constantly am underestimated simply because my badge does not work. If you ask me i deserve respect, i work harder, and can get the same job done. My clumsiness does not cause problems on missions, but i'm still thought of as defective anyway."

Oopsy suffers from a rare disorder exclusive to Care bears, called langsom strom syndrome, which is danish for slow power. This was found by Take care the day after his badge ceremony. This causes his belly badge not to have magic power when its received. However, i does develop overtime, but no one know how long it takes to come, or how. He still has yet to receive his power. Smart heart is inspired by this and speaks up as well.

"I agree. I can't help but hate how i'm basically stereotyped by him all my time here. I can do a caring mission just like anyone here, we all have the heart. But i'm usually just gonna be restricted to busy work cause "We need someone smart to do this" He does know there are also Brighto and Grumpy right. And when i am needed, i'm usually forced to help some kid not give up on homework or something. Its getting really old"

"Me and Sweet Dreams have been overworked by him lately. For starters we work late hours as it is, and we lately have had to work as late as up to midnight. Most of the children we see don't take that long to deal with. Its been driving us to what feels like are grave. We tried talking to Tenderheart about it, but he pretty much scoffed at us.

Share pushes the board into the other room, and stands on the table. She wants to get to the route while emotions were still high.

"We can't put up with this any longer, we need to stand firm."

"REBELLION BABY!"

"Sweet dreams, we are civilized bears. We are not starting a damn rebellion, now sit back down. What we need to do is simple, get Brave heart on our side. Brave hearts ego will eventually want to challenge him. If he were to win, we would get the respect we deserve. I don't know how, but we will make it happen. Who's with me."

Everyone puts there hands in and lifts them in the air.

"Meeting dismissed."

Everyone starts to leave, except Share and Oopsy. Oopsy still looks a bit shaken up, and starts to shead a few tears. Share goes over to comfort him.

"Are you ok"

"I just want things to go back to how they were. And im... Scared at what might need to happen to get respect for everyone."

"Me too Oopsy... Me too"

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

After spending about 2 hours in the hospital, Flaboyant heart was released from the hospital. Now that he was out his perky, sassy personality was starting to show. Swift heart offered to let him stay at her place. He walks into his room, which was Previously the guest room.

"Girlfriend, you didn't have to do this for me, i can't thank you enough"

"No, i had to do this. After what happened to you out there, you deserve somewhere to go. Also not to pry, but why did you call me girlfriend."

"Oh do forgive me, its my natrual speech pattern. They don't call me Flamboyant for nothing"

Swift heart giggles a little bit.

"I suppose. Feel free to take anything you may need around my house. I really should be thanking you, living alone gets boring after a while."

"I'm happy to return the favor. I'm gonna take a nap quick."

Swift heart closes the door and heads into her room.

"Meh, I'm sure he won't take to much issue to this."

Swift heart strips down to her underwear. She wears a sports bra, even though she has practically non existent breasts, she likes the look of it, and it gives her confidenceml. As for underwear, she wears boxers, again for style choice. She usually walks around the house in her underwear, even if she has guests over. She spends about two hours in her room checking emails. She decided to go check in on Flamboyant heart. But when she found him in his room, he was in the middle of doing yoga... in the nude. But she certainly didn't mind.

"Ooooooooooooooooh Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah"

Swift heart hasn't seen a boy undressed in ages. So she started to perv off quite a bit. But she also was impressed at how acrobatic and flexible he was. His eyes was closed, so he never notices her. He could wrap his leg around his head, twist his arms backwards without twisting his body, and even put his head on his back. Swift heart could instantly tell he was probably double jointed, or maybe more. But she closed the door before he noticed her presence. But she was a little flustered still. About 2 hours later, Swift heart was on the couch watching tv, when she had to use the bathroom. She walks to find something odd, the bathroom door was not locked, but there was an occupied sign on it. Swift heart knew this sign was not hers, so she walked in out of curiosity. Flamboyant heart was in there, luckily not in the nude this time. But he was wearing a white robe with an F on it. She knew it wasn't hers. She was expecting Flamboyant heart to go crazy, but surprisingly he didn't it.

"Girlfriend, you trying to perv out on me. And in your underwear to."

"Um, no. I walk around the house in my underwear all the time. Its not like anyone is gonna care when i am in my house.

"Hey, you do you boo."

"Besides, i could be Harmony bear. That girl wears the skankiest swimwear i have ever scene. Hey, can you hand me that towel."

Flamboyant heart gives her the towel, she puts it on her head and begins to impersonate Harmony.

"Hey boys, i'm here. Oh you staring at me, whats the matter, you like what you see. You know you do. Ooooooooooooooh is it getting hot in here or is it just me."

Flamboyant heart start to laugh really hard.

"Girlfriend, i can already tell we are gonna be besties."

"I'm thinking the same thing. But i have a couple of questions for you. First off all, were did you get that robe from.

"Oh, i saw you had a sewing machine in the closet, and some fabric and thread. I sewed this by myself."

"Oh yeah, i forgot i bought one for that one girls night out Lotsa heart forced me to attend. Worst night of my life. Forgive me if i'm a little starstruck, i just never have known a man who could sew."

"Well you now, i have no shame in it. Sense when have gender roles stopped me before. I made you one two, try it on.

Swift hearts eyes light up, she instantly puts it on, and slips off her undergarments. She was amazed at the quality off it.

"Wow, just wow. Its comfy, fits my proportions perfectly, and even has the fancy S. Thank you so much, plus its nice not to have to wear anything, its... freeing per say.

"Its the least i could do for you saving me. I mean its not like i had much."

"But i have one more question. Whats with that sign, why didn't you just lock the door."

The second she asked this question. Flamboyant heart noticeably started to get nervous. He was clearly shaking, which Swift heart did not understand what was going on.

"Look, it really personal, i don't want to... ugh. I really should explain myself. Its about time i tell you my whole situation."

"I will admit, i have been interested in what in the world has been up with your situation for a long time. But can we do it in my bedroom, i need to lie down."

The two go into Swift hearts room and lie down on her bed. Flamboyant starts to go over his past in detail.

"Please forgive me if i seem kinda slow. Its, kinda emotional for me."

"Take all the time you need sweetheart."

"I remeber when my troubles began. I remeber when i was 4, living a peaceful life in Porterhouse.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but what in the world is Porterhouse."

"You've never heard of Porterhouse before. The secret town in British Columbia. We have heard of you guys before, but you never heard of us."

"I'm afraid i haven't, can you explain in more detail."

"I was quite young when i learned about this. As you know coloured bears seem like kind of a weird thing to find. There are some who still live out in the wild, but after incident involving two bears in Alaska, bears found a need for a secret place of us to live our lives. Thats when Porterhouse was created. It's in rural British Columbia. We use a magic barrier, which not only allows bears or other creatures to be the only ones to see it, buts is majorly part if entering and existing the town."

Swift heart was shocked, no one in Care-a-lot had ever even heard of it before.

"Anyway, i was 4. Before then i was known as Brash heart bear. I'm not brash at all, buy my dad named me that wanting me to be that way when i grew up. My mom died during child birth, so my dad had full control over me. I was applied to an all boys boarding school by my dad. It may not seem that bad in retrospect, until you realize what that school was about. Even when we were young, the school was all about shaping us into macho men."

"If there was a school like that here in Care-a-lot, i think chaos would insue.

"I beyond agree with you, we had to everything masculine you could think of. We had to lift weights at age 8, we even had to wrestle for other peoples enjoyment. But i was instantly noted as different. I never did well at anything at the place. But i did my own stuff In my personal time. I found a needle and thread somewhere around my school, and began sewing little trinkets. I would also practice my gymnastics skills and acrobatics. I'm assuming you already know about my talent."

Swift heart was shocked when he said that. She thought he never noticed her looking at him, she tried to play it off cool.

"Honestly haven't, what you talking about"

"I knew you were spying on me during my yoga session."

Swift heart turns bright red.

"Oh... that. I thought you didn't notice."

"I knew you were there, i just never reacted. I can detect presence of others when doing yoga. But i take yoga seriously, you can't focus on that stuff if you want to reach a good point in your training."

"But i"

"Don't worry about apologizing. I'm not gonna hold it against you, especially after you saved my life."

"Um, please continue before i embarrass myself any further."

"Of course. The school was pissed by it, considering the whole point of the school was to make us into men, or they so say. I got caught doing this stuff on multiple occasions. Which would result in corporal punishment. I was also constantly bullied by my classmates, all for being different.

"This whole school you were in sounded like hell."

"Oh trust me it was... But from what i went through afterwards... Sometimes i wonder if i made the right decision. There was a point were i just could not take it anymore, i felt so alone. So... i escaped the school. Now this school is highly guarded do to its reputation, so it was not easy. I snuck out to the courtyard at night, but got noticed by the guards. My original plan was to climb over the fence to get out, but now i had to jump over to get out before i got caught. Being an acrobat, jumping over was easy. I loved the look on everyones faces when i started jumping. Lets just say that that fence was metal and 200 years old, nothing i can't handle."

"Why in the world would they treat a boarding school, like maximum security prison."

"I honestly have no idea. I ran as fast as i could, incase they would try and run after me. I couldn't stay in western Porterhouse, were i knew i was gonna stick out and be found, so i had no choice but to run to the eastside."

"What exactly is so bad about that."

"Everything. The west and east side of Porterhouse are almost like two different towns. West side is way more upscale, very civilized area, that i probably would have loved if it was not for that boarding school. East side on the other hand, is basically the hood. Very poor area, but i had nowhere else to go."

Swift heart instantly started to relate to him when he talked about his time in east side Porterhouse. Being homeless when her parents died in Wonderland. She understood instantly that he probably has had it hard. But unknowingly was messing with his hair.

"Girlfriend, as much as i appreciate your love of my hair, can you be a bit more gentle."

"I'm sorry, i just love how long yet healthy this is. I know some women who would be jealous of that hair. Nobel heart has long hair but its all damaged."

"My hair is an important virtue to me personally, i grew it out over all my years in east Porterhouse. Its my way of making a statement against what society expects of me. Anytime it was getting difficult for me, i would do what your doing to my hair right now. It always reminds me that even if times are tough, i have the freedom i always desired. I got my name legally changed to Flamboyant heart shortly after i escaped boarding school. And times were defiantly tough. I'm not gonna lie and say that there were times were i would have to steal things whenever i could just to survive. I will admit that i even broke into people houses when they were not around, just to use there shower or basic necessities. It also does not help that its super violent in those parts, i had to defend myself on more then one occasion."

Swift heart during her homeless spout had been in both situations herself. She was not gonna bring it up though, she was very closed of emotionally, even to her closest friends. She continues to listen.

"I tried doing some street entertainment, using my acrobatics to make money. I could get some to help me out from time. But the town as very poor so i couldn't get much. Around my last 2 weeks in Porterhouse i was getting really desperate, i had multiple streaks of bad luck. Until... he showed up."

(Flashback)

Flamboyant heart was sitting on the curb, counting coins he had, which was only 5. Suddenly, a red male bear walks up to him.

"Hey, want some of my creme pastry."

"Oh my god thank you, i haven't eaten in days."

"Alright, come walk with me, its nice to have a daily walking partner."

The two walk and eat. The red bear was noticeably constantly looking at Flamboyant hearts figure. Which he instantly could recognize, but ignored for most part. After about half an hour they stopped and sat on a park bench. The red bear instantly got straight to the point.

"How do i put this, your hot as hell."

"Um, that was unexpected... but thanks."

"You are clearly going through some rough times, well i can help you out. My name is red light bear. I'm known for running a gay club in the red light district. I'm telling you, with a body like yours you could make tons of cash for the place. I got a opening at my club. How about you head to my club for a night, and maybe we can see if you have potential."

Flamboyant heart was questioning the whole thing. Not only did this seem too convenient, but it was really underhanded work to be doing. But he was at the point of desperation, and felt like he had no other option.

"Deal, were do you want me to meet you."

"You heard of 179th street right."

"Who hasn't"

"Meet me in that one alley by the bakery. Oh and take this strippers outfit, be sure to wear it on your way there. I will see you tonight."

Red light bear leaves.

(Flashback ends)

Swift heart was in shock. She could not believe the person she was right next to someone who got a job in the red light district.

"You were that desperate"

"Yes, i was. I really didn't want to do it, but i felt like i had no other option."

"Hey don't mind me asking... But are you gay."

"Yes and no. I'm bisexual. Not all feminine men are gay you know"

"Sorry please continue"

"But... But."

(Flashback)

"Ugh, getting stared at is so humiliating... Its gonna be worth it. I hope."

Flamboyant heart heads into the alley. But no ones there. Suddenly, out of were, a masked bear walks behind him and chloroforms him, knocking him out.

"Boss, i got him."

"Good, load him into the back of the car."

"When Flamboyant heart wakes up, he is in a room, chained up by his hands and feet, in a cold dark metal room." He tries to brake free, but to no avail. Suddenly, 3 masked men enter the room."

"Well well, looks like they caught a good one"

"Dang, i'm in love this guys legs."

"WHO ARE YOU DAMN PEOPLE, WERE THE HELL AM I"

"That doesn't matter. Your just gonna be here for a long time. But don't worry... we will take really good care of you."

Just looking at the men, he could tell instantly what was gonna happen to him.

"NOOOOOOOOOO, NOT THAT. ANYTHING BUT THAT, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

(Flashback ends)

Swift heart was in absolute shock. Flamboyant started to drop a few tears.

"Two years... of sex slavery... and not the cute fetish kind either... this was the real deal."

Flamboyant heart starts to break down in tears. Swift heart instantly hugs and tries to condole him.

"MY DIGINITY, STOLEN, FREAKING STOLEN FROM ME. AT THE HANDS OF PERVY ASSHOLES. THEY NEVER CARED HOW MUCH I SUFFERED, THEY PUT ME THROUGH EVERYTHING IMAGINABLE. ALL FOR THERE STUPID ENTERTAINMENT!"

Flamboyant heart cries for a good 20 minutes. All while swept in Swift heart arms.

"I'm so. so sorry this happened to you."

After a little while Flamboyant heart calms down, still in Swift hearts arms.

"Um, can you not let go. It makes me feel better when you do this."

"Of course. Anything you need. So how did you escape."

"I made my escape plan about a month in advance. After a while i noticed the handcuff keys were always carried by the same guy, some bear with cyan blue fur. I studied his movements every single time he entered my cell, and eventually figured out when his back would be turned. Then the day before my escape. Using my flexibility, i was able to bend over just enough to grab the key with my mouth, which he luckily didn't notice. I managed to get myself unchained. Luckily there was no way to see inside my cell, so no one noticed. The next day when my cell was opened. I made a dash for it. When i got outside i will admit i was confused were exactly i was, but i did not have time to think. I quickly stole a snowmobile and got the hell out of there."

"That sounds like one hell of an escape plan, but why didn't you have it with you when we found you"

"About after an hour it ran out of gas. I walked for a little bit, but i don't honestly remember much of what happened after that. But then you guys eventually rescued me. And i guess thats it"

"You my friend, are one tough cookie. I'm so sorry about all this. Feel free to stay here as long as you need too."

"Thank you so much. I really just honestly want to move on with my life, what better place to do it then here."

The too spend about 5 minutes in silence, just enjoying each others company.

"Its amazing in Care-a-lot isn't it."

Swift heart says this, only to find that Flamboyant heart fell asleep in her arms, she smiled and had some thoughts to herself. She could tell by the conversation that what he said was definitely true, but she planned to have them tell Tenderheart about Porterhouse tomorrow, thinking about the opportunity it may bring everyone. She felt herself falling asleep but said these last words to herself.

"I don't know if this is faith or something, but i think i have found myself the best friend i always have wanted."

True heart is by her window, which gives her a whole view of Care-a-lot. She sighs and goes over to sit on the couch. She scrolls through some channels on tv, but nothing good is on at this time of night. True heart had a lot of mixed feeling going around, she didn't know what caused them, but she was not worried about that right now. Noble heart was turning the light off in the kitchen, and joined True heart on the couch. He gave True heart a hug, not for any particular reason, he is just the kind of guy to give random hugs. True heart responded, but only half heartedly. Noble heart could instantly tell something was up.

"Have a rough day today"

"Yeah, kinda. Hey can i ask you a question, and promise to answer with honesty."

"Of course, why would i not."

"... What do you think of Care-a-lot right now."

"Easiest question i ever have been asked, i'm beyond proud of it. We started out with absolutely nothing, and worked all the way to this. And it was definitely not a cake walk either, so what else should i feel"

"Don't get me wrong, i love what we made just as much as you do. But don't you feel like... The care bear way is dying."

Noble heart paused in his mind, he knew exactly what she meant. True heart was more heartfelt on the position of Care-a-lots change, but Noble heart was honestly still in denial.

"Explain, i need to understand what you mean."

"Sigh, were do i even begin. Let's start with the elephant in the room, Tenderheart and Brave hearts, how do i put this, rivalry. But if we are being honest, i don't think either of them truly have the full Care Bear spirit."

"What do you mean."

"Don't get me wrong, there both amazing people, but they have flaws affecting everyone. Brave heart is very energetic, and he also is very innocent hearted. He always will help you, or do something for you, even if it inconveniences him. He does have a truly big heart. But his issue is that he literally never takes anything seriously. If i had a dollar for every simple accident he caused, i would be the richest person alive. Now we always are in states of chaos, all thanks to his carelessness. This always reminds me of that time Brave heart dropped an F bomb on one of our caring missions."

"As funny as that moment admittedly was, we should be grateful that no children heard that vulgar language."

"Exactly, then we have Tenderheart. Were Brave heart lacks, he excels. His commanding leadership can flow through an entire room, and inspire people to remain diligent. There are even some occasions were he can get obedient behavior out of Playful heart of all people. His organization can lead to success in even the most dire times. But where Brave heart excels he lacks. He lacks any sort of charisma, or friend like relationship with the vast majority of the bears. I feel as if he gets the message of the Care bears lost in all the technical bits and pieces. He runs the Care bears like a corporation. His clear favoritism of certain bears, His strictness on everything, even allowing new members. Also keep in mind that it is thanks to him that Lookout duty, Finance meeting, and extended work days exist."

"I guess, but is that really a big deal"

"I would say no, if it weren't for all the other things we have to deal with. Everyone in Care-a-lot has become increasingly rowdy. Every night the booze is flowing down in town. Disobedience is at an all time high, when its not exclusive to Funshines little crew you know its bad. Good luck and Thanks-a-lot going sight seeing for 8 hours straight after a mission, Harmony sneaking vodka in a water bottle on a mission, Champ flat out showing up to work drunk, Daydream flat out not showing up to work at all, the list goes on. But what worries me the most is our bonds. I feel like day by day we drift further apart, more of us put up walls, personalties clash. I just don't know what to do at this point. Its like the innocence of us is being sucked out day by day."

Noble heart thinks about how he is gonna respond, but he just does not know how to. He knew she was right, but did not want to admit that to himself. He was on the brink of tears out of the stress of this realization. Luckily for him, the door bell suddenly rang. He instantly ran to it to Find Wish bear at the door.

"Hey Noble heart, i just wanted to know if you wanted these leftover."

"WISH, JUST THE GIRL I WANTED TO SEE, PLEASE COME IN."

Noble heart practically drags Wish in the house, and locks the door. True heart instantly walks to the door, they she gets an idea.

"Hey Wish, can we ask for a quick favor, and make a quick wish with us."

"I don't see why not, gives me something to do outside of Funshines crazy parties. Just go to the open part your living room, and have us all hold hands."

The two do as there told, once in position, True heart starts to reside her wish.

"I wish, that the Care bears could be restored to its former glory, a glory of innocence and heart, a world of equal participation and effort, of power and resourcefulness. And most importantly, for us to all brought together once again, as the Care bear Family."

True heart would end up getting her wish, but the process to get there would be way less then what she hoped.
