It was passed mid-night, but No Heart, Beastly, and Shreeky were still awake. They were all looking into Shreeky's mirror.
"Uncle No Heart, they are asleep in a hot spring it wasn't part of the plan! What are were going to do now?" Shreeky asked.
"Shreeky, that is part of the plan. I knew that they couldn't make it to the river by night fall. So I used magic to make them think they were in a hot spring. It is nothing more than an illusion. When they wake up, they hot spring won't be there. They will be resting against some rocks." No Heart answered.
"But, No Heart, what good will that do? Cheer has almost made up with Champ. That isn't good. It will ruin everything. " Beastly remarked.
"Beastly, I am totally aware she is about to make up with Champ. I wanted it that way for know. In the morning, she is going to be more willing to follow his ideas. When the see the light at the end of the forest, they will be at the river with the fast current. They will have no choice, but to cross it. Champ will make sure Cheer stays with him." No Heart stated. "I think we all should go get some sleep, we don't want to miss their arrival."
The next morning, Cheer woke up. They weren't in the hot spring, instead they were resting against some rock.
"Champ, wake up now!"
"What's up sports fan?"
" I thought we were in a hot spring, but when I woke up we were resting against some rocks. My swimsuit has more tears. I hate wearing rags!"
"Well, then why don't you take it off and put your jacket back on?"
Cheer took her jacket and went behind some buses and changed. She left her torn swim suit laying on the ground. She didn't want to see it again. When She changed, she came out from out of the bushes. She realized that Champ had changed into his red jacket. He left his swim trunks laying on the ground.
"Cheer, are you ready to go find a way out of the jungle?"
"Yes, but when I get back to Care-A-Lot, I'm going to get cleaned up and I am going shopping!"
" I knew, you'd say that. Come on, let's find the exit."
Champ and Cheer walked farther into the jungle, and saw light was beginning to show. They were close to the exit. Both of them quickly walked towards the light. When they got out of the forest, they saw an open field. But there was a river between the end of the forest and the open field. There rocks in the middle.
" I think we are going to have to cross over. It looks tricky. Cheer, maybe you should go first."
"Why do you want me to go first? I know it is tricky and I don't need you to point it out."
"Okay, Cheer. We will cross together. Take my hand."
She took Champs hand and they began to cross the river. Once they got on the first rock, the realized it wasn't big enough to hold them both. Champ saw there was a strong current, gripped Cheer's hand tighter. The current was fast and they fell into the river and it began to wash them upsteam. At the end of the current there was a pit of quick sand. They both landed in the quick sand and began to sink.
"Champ, try to get us out of this quick sand before we sink!"
"I can't, there isn't anything for me to grab on to!"
They began to sink deeper and both of them fell into a dark chamber. It was had stone walls and there was bars on the door.
"Champ, where are we?"
" I don't know?"
Just then a familar figure began to get closer to them. The figure had a robe with a hood. There was no face in sight just a pair of eyes.
"Welcome, care bears. We've been expecting you."
"No Heart!" Champ and Cheer both gasped.
