Mr. Bear's new found freedom imbued him with unrelenting comedy. Mr. Bear realized that he and Father Bear were both male bears and therefore, looked exactly alike. Mr. Bear suggested to Father Bear that they exchange clothes to trick their families. It was all in good fun after all. Father Bear being a good sport like Mr. Bear, decided it would indeed be amusing to see the bemused faces of his family members. Father Bear and Mr. Bear snuck off into a thicket of bushes to undress in front of each other and exchange clothes.
While this was going on the rest of the group was still recovering from the strange event that had occurred. Since Mr. Bear had not openly expressed that he was abused as a child, no one knew exactly why he gave Little Bear a hug. Franklin was still smiling to himself about the rock incident that no one gives a damn about now. Little Bear was still giddy about getting hugged from another male, and Mrs. Bear didn't give a damn that her husband just walked off randomly with another bear. Mother Bear was still going on about recipes to the now vacant stone where Mrs. Bear was sitting.
Father Bear and Mr. Bear leapt from the bushes in each other's clothing and eyed down the two families to see if anyone noticed the identity swap. No one reacted, the plan was a success! Franklin was now pretending to throw stones, saying to himself "Yeah, I threw a rock so fuckin' hard!" Bear was staring blankly at the two adult male bears. Until he yelled out "You are my dad!" and ran to Father Bear and gave him a hug. Little Bear was jealous that Bear could hug his Mr. Bear father but Little Bear could not hug Father Bear, so Little Bear leapt up and wrapped his arms around Mr. Bear whom he thought was Father Bear. Father Bear and Mr. Bear looked at each other and felt awkward, but pretended to laugh.
