It was dark as the two occupants of the cage conversed in the confined space.

"Here we go again." One of them spoke in a tired tone.

"Let's try our best this time, ok.?" The other spoke softly, she seemed hesitant.

"Please, they'll be eating out of the palm oh my hand." She smirked.

"Not again." She rolled her eyes.

It was the morning as the bear's lined up in front of their cave. Nerd watched from between the railings as he was being held up by Gimp. The zoo van rolled into the premises as at carried it's cargo in the trunk. The new arrivals were just about to be let out of the van as they let the create drop at the entrance. "They're here!" Nerd got off Gimp and ran to the group.

The create opened as the two girls walked out, The first was a pink coloured bear wearing a blue skirt her eyes were a light blue colour and she had a lipstick mark on her belly. She gave a satisfied smile as she strolled out of the cage. The other trialing behind her had violet fur her eyes were green and she… had a tampon mark on her belly? The group saw them strut over to them.

Fighter pause as he looked at them. "Wait why was I thrown in like a bag of potatoes instead of walked in?" Evil snickered at his revelation. Nerd held his cheek and frowned. "Oh, sorry about that. Reflex." He smirked innocently. "Don't worry it's fine. At least you apologized. Now..." He sounded a bit bitter.

"But I did though? Oh you were unconscious…" Evil snorted at the two.

"Will you guys be quiet I need to make a good first impression." Lech flexed his muscles while standing on a rock. Evil looked at him disinterested, while one of them stated to whistle.

"Oh-oh, here they come. Watch out boys they'll chew you up." Fighter sung as he smiled and laid back bellow on the rock. Prozac smirked amused at his singing. "Really? Haven't seen this side of you before."

"I'm in a good mood."

Lech smirked. "He's right about one thing, she'll be chewing on something."

Prozac and Fighter gave him stern looks. "Do I have to watch you?"

"To be honest he'd probably want an audience." Fighter responded. Prozac looked at him oddly.

"Just saying." he then realized the phrasing he used. "Word to the wise..."

"He isn't" Evil chimed in.

"Don't piss them off or the chewing thing too that's…damaging to say the least."

Lech rolled his eyes, He could handle them. Fighter saw this and shook his head dismissively.

The girls stood in front of them, The pink one still smiling looking at the group. While the other looked around. They all gawked in awe at them. Gay spoke first. "They're-" Nerd chimed in "Perfect!"

Prozac walked forward and shook their hands, "Hi! I'm Prozac. It's really nice to-"

"YEAH BITCHES!" Vanity pushed Prozac and Nerd aside. They looked at him annoyed, The violet one rose a brow. Prozac whipped him around. Then face-palmed "Well, That was spectacularly rude."

"He he ha ha. Oh my gosh, not even up to bat and you strike out. Damn." Fighter chuckled at Vanity's failure aside. Evil chuckled with him.

"And this is Evil, Gimp, Death, and Fighter." They collectively gave them smiles and nods as their names were called. Gay rushed in to meet the two as he grasped both their hands. "And I'm Gay!" They both looked at him oddly, the violet one held her mouth, she looked like she was holding back a chuckle while her friend smirked and rose an eyebrow knowingly.

Nerd gave a pleased smile at his blunder. Two are out of the equation.

"Subtle." Prozac said flatly. However two bears slipped out his sight. Tanked and Crack were behind the girls in an instant. Tanked sniffed the violet bear's bottom as she shrieked at the red one's… unexpected inspection. The pink one pulled her away from them. Crack and Tanked both drooled at them and gave vacant stares. Prozac quickly removed the two from the girls. That's Four down. I'm making my move. Nerd smirked as he walked forward.

"I'm Nerd, humbly at your service." He kissed the pink's paw and bowed.

"Tee hee." The pink one giggled. What a charmer. Unfortunately Nerd was about to learn the universal rule of selection in relationships, "Enough with the fodder." Lech pulled him up by the scruff of his neck and pulled him aside.

"It's time you meet the alpha male!" Lech placed arm around the pink and smiled, "I'm Lech." He sniffed her and looked unto her eyes. She looked content with his approach. "It's nice to meet you."She said "I Know." They walked toward the cave his arm draped around her shoulder. "I'll bee in my bunk." Nerd and the violet bear looked shocked at this hook up. The violet one quickly rolled her eyes as they left. Nerd was annoyed at his failure, Prozac was stunned at his approach and Evil just stood there with his hands behind his back.

"Huh." He was genuinely surprised. Fighter blurted out what the others were thinking.

"Holy shit, he actually did it." Fighter looked dumbfounded as titled his head. This wasn't supposed to happen? Hmm maybe they like confidence? Or… He pondered for a moment. Tanked continued to sniff the violet one as she leaned into Prozac. She realized her folly and apologized.

"No problem. Sooo...Would you like a tour? Prozac scratched behind his head awkwardly. She smiled at the bear, then things got weird, it was a display of a roller coaster of emotions. She teared up and began to bawl as she held her head down, then gasped in an instant and gave happy reply. "That would be great thanks!" Tanked immediacy backed up and gave her and odd, stern look: If he spoke it'd probably be on the lines of: The what the heck is happening?

"Oh! what's that over there?! She pointed to the fountain. "OMG! that's so cute!" Prozac's face was of pure terror, What did I sign myself up for? He wondered as he was dragged away. The others were dumbfounded, Fighter sighed and shook his head. He began to follow them, Evil spoke out "Dude where are you going?"

"To make sure he isn't dead!" I can't be the one to lead these guys. Someone would be dead by the end of the day. The rest of them looked on oddly at the couple. "Anyone up for poker?"

Meanwhile in the… Man Cave.

Lech and pink bear were enjoying each others company. They started to make out halfway to his room. He had to maneuver his way to his door, no one was going to interrupt him.

He opened the door while holding on her, "mmmmm!" They both locked lips as they trekked into the room, she pulled back from his embrace. "You smell so good baby!" He kissed her neck lovingly, but her eyes caught something on his bed as she pushed him away.

"Hold on. What is that?!" She pointed to the stuffed bear in his bed he groaned as he face-palmed at his own stupidity. "Seriously?" she said in a mocking tone.

I've been cooped up with only males for too long. He picked up the bear threw it into the closet.

I'm gonna kill Evil. He thought, he noticed odd markings on the bear though it seemed familiar but he couldn't place his finger on it. Speaking off he felt hers on his back, he turned around."You must be so… Pent up!" She placed her hands on his chest.

He smiled cockily in response "You have no idea baby."

She placed her hands on his cheek "I guess you'll have to-" Shink! Her claws dug into his face.

"Show me!" She said in a very aggressive, yet sultry tone as she dragged them across.

"Ooow slow down, babe. We have all night!" She shoved him on his bed.

"And we're gonna need it!" She bared her claws, He gritted his teeth in fear. This would not end well...

Back at the fountain. Where Prozac was barely keeping it together as the female on his arm cried and sobbed loudly on his arms, this was not what he imagined his day would be. "And then they shoved us back in those damn crates!" The violet one bawled out.

"It's so Dark in those!" She scowled in anger.

Then she started to cry again, "So we got kicked out of that zoo too!

"And It was totally her fault all over again!" She switched to anger again.

"I could just Punch her smug face." She held on to his arm tightly as she growled. "Or I could drown her!" she jumped up on the fountain as she clasped her hands."What a cute little fountain! Perfect for holding little miss perfect's head under until her lungs fill and-"

Prozac started to slide away from her slowly, she noticed his discomfort and began to bail again. "OMG! I'm such a horrible!" She grabbed him again and then looked up at him. "What's your name Again?" Prozac looked annoyed as he sat down bitterly. The female looked scared as she held on to his arm tightly.

Fighter stepped closer between them and clapped to get their attention, they both looked at him. Prozac looked desperate, while the violet bear switched to a happy smile. Tread lightly. First things first, He stuck out his hand for a greeting "Speaking of punching, Hello there! The names Fighter, what's yours?" He gave a genuine smile.

"Oh right, It's Cara." she shook his hand tightly as Prozac inched away from her mouthing: Thank you as he got room to breathe. "It's a pleasure to meet you little lady." He did a mock bow. She noticed his scarf as he got back up.

"Oh that looks delightful! Where did you get it?" She sounded genuinely curious as she clasped her hands together. "Well, it's one of a kind, Gay made it for me." He grinned, "Maybe he could make you something, if he's not busy."

"It'd be perfect to muffle out any screams-" Cara said a little too cheerily as both the males looked at each other frightened. "Oh I'm so sorry! Boo hoo hoo!" She started crying again. Rule number one don't get on her bad side or else I'll end a pawn box headed down south. Fighter squinted her worried. "There, there Cara. It's fine we're all a bit… Eccentric." He smiled.

Her eyes caught something on his person. His left ear had a cut in it. "Oh my god are you ok!?" She grabbed him and sobbed on his chest. Prozac looked at him with a relieved look, but noticed his blemish as well. "Did Evil cut you?"

"No, I have had this for a long time."

"Huh, just noticed it now."

"Good." He said flatly.

"At least you look roguish. A little bat-like too?" She smiled as tilted her head. Prozac rose an eyebrow.

"You've cried on me and now your hitting on me..." Fighter squinted as he looked at her, he looked into her green eyes. "You do have beautiful eyes though."

"Thanks, Leave it at that dear. I've heard it before"

"Doesn't stop it from being true."

"You little sap."

Fighter's ears then picked up screaming from the cave. Oh crap! Lech is dead! Fortunately for him he was wrong. "PROOOZAC!" Lech ran past the bears playing poker and to the fountain. He was covered head to toe in scratches. He cowered behind Prozac, "Save me, she's a monster!"

Fighter went wide eyed as he looked him over. Cara looked at him knowingly and sighed, "Oh great, Sara's in Heat again." She waved her hand "You guys better hide for a few days. Maybe under a rock or hide in a box." Fighter squinted at her suspiciously she was too casual about this.

"How many times-"

"What happened?" Death said as the others came to see the commotion. Perfect timing. He thought sharing Cara's annoyed look.

Gay smiled at Lech while looking over his body. "That's a good look for you blue boy."

"Shut it." He retorted. Death handed Gimp a first aid kit as he placed a cloth with rubbing alcohol on his arm.

"ARGH!" Lech wasn't expecting it to sting that much.

"Geezus you big baby,"

"I think I'm gonna be-" The sudden shock cause him to- HORK! "Gahh!" Vomit and splatter on the ground all over Gay's feet, he was not happy. Death looked shocked at the amount of it left on the grass.

"LECH!" They heard Sara scream from across the cave grounds. Lech immediately hid behind Gay.

"Oh that's adorable." Fighter spoke as he saw Lech cowering.

"Hide Me!" Lech responded.

Sara marched toward the group the anger emanating off her in waves, she was past pissed, she was livid and was in no way going to be shy about it. "If you only grasp ONE thing with your thick skull, it better be-" She growled as Lech ran behind Prozac. "That I don't take rejection well!"

She saw him ran back to Gay. "Figures." She said sourly. "Now get back in that cave lover!" She pointed back to their home. Prozac stepped in to talk to the distraught female. He raised his hand as he approached her. "I'm sorry. But if you want to fit in around here..."

"Not interested pro." She had a claw to his neck.

"But perhaps..." She saw the group closing in on her. "I should lay down some ground rules of my own." She focused for a moment, Her scent filled the air each of them smelt the odd smell as they started to stiffen. Each of their eyes widen in surprise as their eyes grew heavy and she inspected them over and smiled at her work. "There now boys. You're just under new management."

….

Everything feels hazy...Why does my body feel stiff? Fighter wondered as he looked at the ground. His head was aching, he felt like he fought Moongo again. Serves me right for using a trampoline as bed, but it was so comfy. Whatever I guess I- He then noticed he was outside completely throwing out his previous theory. He then tried to piece together the events that lead up to this moment...The last thing he remembered was talking to Cara, and Lech showing up wounded as he hid from…

"T...no...b...un….New management" That was her voice! Why couldn't he move his head up? He heard footsteps then a paw pulling up his head. She looked at him and gave small grin. "Now stay like that, your not useful to me with your head down." What-

"The hell guys?" That was Gay. Then I noticed everyone standing around...why did their eyes look lazy, dull and a completely different colour? What is happening?

Sara looked at him confused, "Of course you." She looked behind him Tank was also free. "And you?"

"What did you do them?" This was first time I saw Gay this angry. He had a scowl on his face along with Tank as well. "Males-" She said her voice had a bit of bitterness to it. "So pathetic. A few pheromones and their putty in my claws." She looked at her paws and smiled as she walked away from him and went to one of the bears.

Gay shouted. "What?!"

She patted Vanity's cheek, "I guess there's just no place for you here anymore." She strutted around him caressing his cheek, then pulling his face closer to chest, all while keeping a single eye on them. "I imagine the zoo will 'release' you soon." She let him follow him as he got on all fours and she propped him up with her elbow. "Have fun 'roughing' it in the wild." Ok that's it! The jokes end here!

I tried to move my body and… nothing, just nothing.

My body still remained stiff, but I still felt conscious of my surroundings, I just couldn't smell anything else but her. It's like- I'm at the other side of mirror looking back my reflection except- I'm the stuck in the mirror, unable to do anything but watch. I can't even talk...I-I don't like this…

"Oh and that bow tie was so last year." She let Vanity drop flat on his face. Then proceeded to walk away from them. Gay gave an appalled look, I assume the jab at his fashion sense was the straw that broke the camel's back. He looked down at his bow tie then to her and spoke.

"Listen you...WHORE!" Oh shit. I don't think I've heard that from him before. He sounded livid as well. Even Tanked backed up from him. She narrowed her brow in anger, I don't think she expected that. "This is MY House MY family!" My eyes begin to feel watery… "And I'm still in the process of...Expanding my closet so I can fit my whole Prada collection in there." Gay folded his arms and gave a menacing scowl, "So your not running me off."

Cara remained unscathed by his comment in fact she looked vindicated "Oh? So what happens next? Your gonna fight me?!" He better! You've crossed the line sister!

"Huh?" He gave a bewildered expression, "That sounds sweaty and annoying. I'm not leaving. And I doubt you want to fight either." Damn it, Gay.No!

She laughed at him mockingly. "Like I'd have to lift a finger."

"Get him boys!" She rose her hands up and a familiar scent filled the air.

Wait. what! All of us start to move closer to him.

"Wait. what?" Gay said as he backed up

"Guys? Guys?!" His back was put against a tree. No, No! My body is moving on it's own! Come on stop Damn it!

We all crowd Gay as he looks frightened. Tanked seeing this tries to help, he goes to Crack, only for him to punch him across the face with a loud smack knocking him down...No. My heart ached seeing him fall to the ground he was terrified.

"Crack, Stop!" Gay shouts seeing his friend hurt, he dodges a blow aimed at his face as it lands in the tree. "Lech!" Gay looked concerned as shook Lech. "Lech it's me!" Only for Evil and Gimp to hold him back. "Hey! Seriously guys!" I want to do something but my body won't listen to me. Why can't I break through this?

"Ack-" Then I- watch him… BASH! THUD! SMASH! A puddle of sanguine liquid is left on the grass. It was blood, let's not kid ourselves.

Blood was left on Gimp's and Lech's fists as they continued to pound the unconscious victim… She finally relents as she calls them off, then they both stop beating him.

He laid there bleeding from his nose, he had black eyes and his clothes that he wore were in taters...He wasn't moving…He wasn't moving. "Dump him somewhere he'll be found." She said callously. Lech picked his body up and with the help of Crack. They climbed the wall and he threw him over the edge of the zoo exhibit, I thought I heard voice but it was drowned out by a heavy thud. Gay landed on the concrete outside.

"So what do you have to eat around here? Mind control gives me an appetite." We all start moving toward the cave, my feet move on their own, I feel like I'm on a treadmill as each of my steps grow more heavy… Just a cog moving around in a broken machine.

It felt like hours went by I was just standing there in silence as my friends each did her bidding. She sat on a chair as Nerd was used as a footstool.

Death was fanning her as she looked at her paw.

Prozac, Crack and Vanity were used to hold her nourishment: popcorn, fruits and a jug of water.

Gimp brought her some alcoholic beverage.

And Lech was on his knees giving Sara a pedicure… I-I don't have a joke for this, I feel sick.

And then Evil came into the room with a boombox over his head. Something anything would help drown out the silence…

And me? She let me stand there holding a remote in my paw. Oh the TV was on? I didn't even notice…Or she told me to turn it off. I don't know what's happening anymore. She began to speak again.

"So what's there to do on a Saturday Night?" She asked and no one said a thing, she gave a sad look, maybe irritation? "Such great conversation." Then growled as she too got sick of the silence. "ARG! Out of my sight all of you!" They scatter like mice. Imiss Mike. "Except runt boy', he held the popcorn. "This shit's addictive."

"SARA! We need to talk!" I heard her shout outside. Cara? I-I forgot you existed…

Sara clapped her hands and ordered us to carry her on the sedan. My body moved to her as I dropped the remote. One step after another so I can complete my task that was assigned to me. We lifted her up and went outside…

My heart skipped a beat as I felt a tear fall down my face. Gay was alive...My steps weren't as heavy as before. But I still felt constrained and bound to this...Mortal coil. Why can't I do anything! I felt cold all of a sudden.

"What the Hell Cara?! They have cable! you're totally interrupting a real housewives marathon." Sara shouted. We let her down and separated from the sedan.

"It's time to to stop this. Why don't we try getting along with the locals for once?" Sara was taken aback at her sister's claim. "With these dipshits?! Neanderthals! All of them!" She pointed to Lech drooling as he had a lazy look in his eye. "Especially that one."

"Then how about it's not all about you? I'm sooo tired of you crap." She looked frustrated, You and me both.

"My crap?" Her eyes widen, MY CRAP?! Seriously?! This coming from little miss "explosive moodiness!"

"Why are you such a skank?" Cara rose an eyebrow as he placed her hands on her hips. Sara was beginning to look pissed. That's the one thing that's giving me joy right now. A tingling sensation feels my body. I feel a little loose.

"OMG! Why are you being such a bitch?!" SLAP

Cara had first blood. She stared at her in anger, Sara held her cheek.

Slap.

"I have no Idea what's going ooooon." Gay said drowsily as he was held up by Tank. The two continued to duke it out, scratching and clawing at each other. As they started to insult each other… "Bitch! And your hair is stupid too!" Cara pulled the robe she had on over her head. She's smart I'll give her that. Then I heard a familiar voice.

"Chick fight!" Lech spoke up. Really!? He's first one to brake through! He made his way to the females and placed his arms around them. "Ladies! Ladies calm down. How about a threesome?" Lech...you magnificent bastard. I'll take your room if they kill you, in your honour.

Sara shoved him away as Cara berated his perverted advances. "Sorry!" He said as he backed up. "I must be getting mixed signals." Then flexed his muscles. "You mean you don't want this?"

Annnnd now I don't feel bad for that previous remark. They both pummel him into the ground and as the shouted out obscenities everyone started to gain control of the bodies… I wheezed as held my chest…T-Then I ran into the cave, I accidentally shoved Death aside I felt sick...I needed to use the bathroom. Then I just blanked out…

Then I woke up in my bedroom...I looked over at Evil. He was reading a book, then he looked at me...and went back to his book again.

I thanked him and gave me a thumbs as he turned the page.
