Hugs walked out into the living room and went up to Swift Heart and asked "Hey Swift Heart? Can Tugs and I help?"

Swift Heart looked at the cub and looked at the other two for an answer. Proud Heart just shrugged but Gentle Heart shook her head no. Swift Heart smiled at Hugs "Just a sec," and pulled the other two out of ear shot "Well?"

Proud Heart wasn't sure "Why not?"

Gentle Heart though was certain that they shouldn't "Because it's dangerous!" She hissed at them.

Swift Heart made a face and said "How dangerous could it be?"

Gentle Heart gave her a look back and said "Very!"

Proud Heart looked at her "Prove it."

Gentle mumbled something incoherently and said "Well for one we are going to be spying on them and we all know how bad those two are at spying."

They nodded their heads but Swift Heart thought of something "Well, they could also be used to explain why we are there if we are caught."

Gentle Heart shook her head but said "They're only two!"

Swift Heart shook her head "So? I mean I went on a caring mission when I was two."

Proud Heart shook her head "You were lucky you didn't die."

Swift Heart waved her off "Not the point, I helped get Dawn and John here and in turn they helped Kristy."

Proud Heart nodded and was on Swift Heart's side "She has a point. Cubs are very persuasive."

Gentle Heart lifted her hands but put them down and said "Fine."

The three nodded and went back to Hugs and Swift Heart told her "Yes, you guys can help."

She jumped up and yelled "Yay! Oh goody goody gosh."

Then she ran into the kitchen to get her brother.


Nathan was on his horse riding through the woods "Ah so peaceful."

Then he heard a slight chuckle and groaned a loud "Andrew what now?"

He flew beside Nathan's horse and said "Well you still owe me."

Nathan shot him a glance "I paid back my debt, you have no power over me."

Andrew grabbed Nathan and threw him off his horse which made it whinny and run off. "Is that what you think?"

Nathan got up and said "Yeah!"

He chuckled and sighed "Do you know what I could do to you? The only reason you're alive is because of me, the only reason you're king is because of me. You owe me much more than the burning of one village. You owe me an empire!"

He pushed Nathan back a little but he caught himself. "How in the Hell am I gonna get you an empire?"

Andrew chuckled "We invade Earth duh."

Nathan shook his head in disbelief "How are we gonna invade Earth this place is barely out of the stone age!"

Andrew pointed to him and said "You! You are how we are gonna invade Earth."

Nathan scolded "Me?"

Andrew nodded "I saw you on Earth. You can rally people."

Nathan rolled his eyes "Andrew I can't lead an army I'm not even fully trained in fighting."

Andrew smiled and said "Don't worry you'll get there." And wrapped his arm around Nathan and the two began to walk.


Hugs walked in triumphantly where Tugs gave her a look "Well?"

Hugs gave him a look back "Well, what?"

Tugs crossed his arms "Well, what did they say?"

Hugs acted as if she had just remembered and said nonchalantly "Oh they said yes."

His eyes widened "No they didn't."

She gave a cocky smile and said "Yeah huh."

He shook his head "Nah ah"

the two went back and forth till Swift Heart came in. "What's going on?"

Hugs pointed a finger at Tugs "He says I'm lying about you saying we could help you."

Tugs pointed back "Because she is lying right Swift Heart."

Hugs responded before Swift Heart "Nah ah!"

"Yeah huh!"

Swift Heart lifted her hands "Okay, OKAY! Enough!"

Hugs and Tugs looked at her and she sighed "If you two can't behave yourselves like you know BIG care bears," She look at Tugs who was now fully paying attention. "Then I guess you can't help."

The two all but fell to their knees begging to be able to help. "Please, please, Pleaseeeeeee let us help."

They said in unison and Swift Heart smiled and said "Well, fine." And she picked the two up and said "But no more fighting." As she looked at the two.

Tugs was about to say something but Hugs shot him a look and he was quite.

As Swift Heart returned and sat the two cubs on her lap she reopened the book and continued to read. Fortunately for everyone she found what they needed in about four minutes. "Ah ha I found it."

Proud Heart and Gentle Heart leaned in as Swift Heart pointed triumphantly at the words..."How to form a portal to Vitolinè (The mystical Land of Lights.)"

Proud Heart suddenly remembered a question she had earlier "How did you guys know this book talked about portals anyway?"

Swift Heart chuckled put her hand on the page and closed the book to show the cover that had a picture of a portal like the one Nathan used. "I don't know maybe the giant portal on the cover?"

Proud Heart rolled her eyes "Tou chè."

Swift Heart smiled "Say we need to say Avotal Muttera Vitolinè?"

Suddenly a bright flash entered the room and all their jaws dropped. "Well, does it say anything on how to get back or close the portal cause I don't think Grams would like it if there is a GIANT FRECK'IN PORTAL IN HER HOUSE!" Proud Heart yelled.

Swift Heart raised her hands "Sorry, it says just say the line backwards and you'll come back from where you came from."

Gentle Heart asked "Does it close automatically?"

Swift Heart laughed "Lets hope so." And jumped through followed by Hugs and Tugs, Proud Heart, and finally Gentle Heart.


Nathan was inspecting a line of men with muskets shaking his head "Andrew I don't know I mean if they were better equipped maybe but..."

Andrew shook his head "Hey! I got them guns didn't I?"

Nathan nodded "Yeah, but I mean against Earth's armies they wouldn't last an hour max."

Andrew sighed "I will have the proper guns ready."

He bowed and walked away. Nathan sighed and said "Alright, Make ready!"

They repeated the command and cocked their guns "Present!"

The men aimed forward. "Fire!"

The men fired their rifles at the targets most hit but one man missed and Nathan walked up to him. "Why did you miss?"

He shrugged "I...I don't know sir I swear it's the rifle."

Nathan took the gun from him and inspected it. "Looks fine to me."

Nathan looked at a nearby sergeant and said "Take over here."

Then walked over to him. The man's fear grew "I swear I... don't know."

Nathan handed the rifle to the sergeant who took it gladly then walked away. He gave the solider the rifle. "Reload it."

The man was confused "What?"

The sergeant yelled "RELOAD IT!"

The man nodded fiercely and reloaded the rifle and the sergeant took it back took aim and fired it. Dead hit. The sergeant then turned to the man and said "Well?"

He stammered "I...I..."

The sergeant hit him with the butt of the gun and said in a mocking tone "I...I..."

The sergeant kicked him "Who is this man's friend?"

They all stood in silence "Huh!?"

A man stepped forward "I... I am sir."

The sergeant smiled at him and said "Then you can kill him."

The man looked at him "Sir!?"

The sergeant nodded and gave the man the gun "Do it."

He lifted the gun and pointed it at his friend the man looked up and shook his head "I...I can't."

The sergeant said "Do it!"

The man stared into his friends eyes then he threw down the gun "I can't."

The sergeant sighed and shot him in the leg then his friend in the head. He crouched down next to the fallen man and said "Next time I'll kill you."

The man crawled over to his dead friend and said "Tom?" He shook him "Tom?"

The sergeant kicked him. The sergeants name would be one the soldiers would tremble every time they heard it. Sergeant Peterson.


As the group landed Gentle Heart again noticed the temperature drop. "Hey Swift that book say why it's colder here?"

Swift Heart shrugged "Best stay away from the locals."

Gentle heart nodded "Don't gotta tell me twice."

She smiled then remembered Hugs and Tugs had come along with them. She turned to find them standing by Proud Heart and she sighed in relief "Everyone okay?"

They all nodded and she said "Well, now what?"

Swift Heart shrugged "Who knows but we had better plan not to expect a homecoming party when we return."

Proud Heart nodded "No kidding."

She sighed and looked at Hugs and Tugs and smiled "Well you two are along for the ride now."

They smiled back at her a giggled. Swift Heart looked up at the sky and said "Looks like it may be dark soon."

Gentle Heart looked up and said "Yeah must be the opposite time here then in the Forest of Feelings and Care-A-Lot."

They heard Tugs groan "Does that mean we have to go to bed we're not even tired!"

They all laughed at this and Swift Heart rubbed his head "Nah dude as long as I'm around you can stay up late."

Gentle Heart shook her head "Alright, let's go see if we can't find some friendly locals."


A few hours later...

Back in Care-a-lot Grumpy was looking for Swift Heart. He had tickets to a concert that he wanted to surprise her with but he couldn't find her. "Hmmmm where could she be?"

He decided to call Gentle Heart since he remembered Swift saying that she was hanging out with her. As the phone rang he waited and checked the tickets again "Hope she likes'm."

Bright heart answered "Hello."

He tried putting on a cheery voice. It failed. "Hiiii Bright."

He shook his head and said "What do you need?"

Grumpy shrugged "Swift Heart there? She told me that she and Gentle were hanging out yesterday."

He heard Bright Heart sigh as he said "No, I was actually gonna call you. You see I got Gentle Heart theses tickets to a concert and..."

Grumpy cut him off "Wait what Concert?"

Bright Heart snickered "Imagine Dragons."

Grumpy hit his head against the wall "So much for being original."

Bright Heart heard a thud! and said "Let me guess you got the same tickets?"

Grumpy sighed "Yeah."

Bright Heart chuckled "Dude, relax only Gentle Heart and Swift Heart are true fans so I highly doubt that anyone else would go."

Grumpy relaxed a little "So you haven't seen them?"

Bright Heart shook his head even though he knew Grumpy couldn't see it. "No, you call Grams? I heard Swift Heart was cubsitting today."

Grumpy smacked his head "I forgot."

Bright Heart laughed and said "Well then call her."

And with that he hung up.

Grumpy shook his head and dialed Grams number...
