Brain bear loomed over some maps sprawled across a desk when someone knocked at the door. he looked up, confused.
"Who?"
Instead of a verbal response to this, two knocks responded.
"...Come in, I guess." Suddenly, a small light blue bear burst through the door and hugged Brain Bear.
"Your back! OH MAH GWASH OH MAH GWASH OH MAH GWASH." In return, the geeky bear could only struggle and gasp for air.
"Malia-jay," Brain Bear said, struggling to get the girl, "Please get off of me!"
"Relax. She only wants to see her brother." Came a new voice. Brain Bear turned to see his mother, walking though the door. She smiled at him and gave him a bear hug as the intelligent cub grew even more uncomfortable.
"But mom!" Brain Bear exclaimed, protesting the impromptu hug both females were giving him, "I'm working!"
"And you need a life!" Malia-jay replied to him snidely. The girl, ready to take on the world at the age of nine years old, decided that it was her job to watch over her twenty year old brother whom she adored like a celebrity. She wanted him to be happy, as her friends and she were.
"...Thanks. That makes me feel special."
"We only came for a brief visit. You left this at home." His mother said, picking up the girl and holding her back with one paw as she fished in her purse for something. She handed him a cell phone and together they quickly left, the understanding mother not wanting to bother her son any longer. Brain Bear turned to look back at the maps as he rubbed his eyes. Wearing glasses and contacts together didn't mix well.
The said phone then rang
The light tan bear sighed as his phone rang with the my little pony theme. He quickly picked it up and spoke into the device.
"Hello?" He looked up from the map, intrigued as an unheard voice spoke from the other end.
"So Mr. Brains isn't just Branch Leader of Care Bears United, I'm impressed, oh and try an aspirin, it'll help with the headache, and use clear glass in the glasses next time." With a click, the caller hung up. Brain Bear looked at the caller id on his cell phone; UNKNOWN. The number was blank as well. Brain Bear bit back a curse and unburied a phone from beneath the map. He dialed a number and a voice answered.
"Hello? Music speaking."
"Music, can I ask a favor? Someone hid contact information on my cell and I want to know who just called me."
"Oh, sure boss, should I come up?"
"No, I'll come down, I need to get away from these maps, I'm driving myself insane."
"Well, I'll be waiting."
Brain Bear hung up, turned off the standing lamp to his right, and walked out the door. Across the street, Share Bear and Friendship Bear were watching from a tree, as Love Bear stood below. All three wore street clothes, except for Share Bear, who decided to be Goth. She wore a black and gray color scheme including thumb-hole gloves. Friendship bear and Love Bear wore wrist length lace gloves that Love Bear had brought. Said cub held a closed burn phone in her hand.
"We ready?" She asked with a bored expression.
"Yup, lowering string now." Friendship bear replied, as a string with duct tape was lowered down in front of love bear. She took a piece of tape and stuck the string and phone together. She then removed her gloves as Friendship bear and Share bear climbed down the tree, binoculars around Share Bear's neck. Friendship nodded and they turned and melted into the crowd.
Brain Bear appeared about five minutes later, a mysterious note was taped to the cell phone;
"Tag, You're It." Brain bear sighed and picked up the phone to take it to Music, not amused by the cat and mouse game someone insisted on playing with him.
