They went back into their tents and got some sleep. Both of them were having trouble deciding on if they should keep up with the others or go on ahead. It was going to be a hard decision for them to make.

Meanwhile at Cold Heart Castle, all of the vilians were sitting around the table. They were disscussing their plans. They had already eliminated six of the team members. They only had to eliminate Grumpy, Funshine Bear, Good Luck Bear, Wish Bear, Playful Heart, Swift Heart, Bright Heart, Treat Heart, Brave Heart, Tender Heart, True Heart, and Noble Heart.

"We've came a long way. I've heard they are aware of the traps and Funshine, Playful Heart, and Swift Heart, have agreed to test the traps." stated Beastly.

"You are finally doing something right for once. The traps are pits again. Maybe we should add three more on. What about Grumpy, Treatheart, and Brave Heart?" asked No Heart.

" I like the idea," answered Proffessor Cold Heart. "Then that will leave Wish Bear, Good Luck Bear, Bright Heart, Tender Heart, True Heart, and Noble Heart."

"Uncle No Heart, that will mean that it will only leave six. We still can't tell if the sports bear and the cheerful bear are with them."

" We just need to wait Shreeky. I am sure that they are, but they must be using some type of protection to prevent us from detecting them. They know that they don't have their tummy symbols to proctect them. Those two bears can't use their Care Bear Stare on us."

"Does that mean, we will eventually, find the two bears?" asked Beastly.

"No one asked you for your opinion furball! I am sure we will." declared Shreeky.

In the meantime the remaining care bears and care bear cousins were traveling down the mountain. They had Funshine, Shift Heart, and Playful Heart were traveling ahead. Champ and Cheer were traveling in the back of the group.

"We are getting close to where the pits are everyone be careful." informed Tenderheart. " Remember that they can be activated at any time."

As they got closer to the pits, No Heart watched from Cold Heart Castle, by using a telescope. When No Heart, saw Funshine, Swift Heart, and Playful Heart walk on the hidden trap, he pressed a button on his remote control. It activated the traps and they fell.

"Are you okay?" asked Tenderheart.

"We're fine. Go on ahead," replied Swift Heart.

The rest of the traveled down the mountian. It took them the rest of the day to make it to the buttom. The sun was setting and True Heart Suggested that they stopped to rest until morning. They sat up camp again. Wish Bear, Good Luck Bear, and Grumpy were in the red tent. True Heart, Noble Heart,Brave Heart, and Tenderheart were in the white tent, and Brightheart, Treatheart, Champ and Cheer were in the pink tent.

In the white tent, True Heart, Noble Heart, Tenderheart, and Brave Heart had another talk like they did the night before. They knew that they were getting closer to their destination.

"We are getting close. I've used my device that Bright Heart created to send the ones who fell in the pits, back to Care-A-Lot." informed True Heart.

"The only ones that are still on the mission are Wish Bear, Good Luck Bear, Grumpy, Treatheart, Brightheart, Braveheart, Tenderheart, True Heat, and myself." said Noble Heart.

"That means there are six of use left on this mission besides Champ and Cheer." gasped Tenderheart. "How much longer are from reaching our destination?"

"We are getting really close. I think we'll be there with in the next day or two." answered True Heart.

"What about the caring crystal necklaces. How much longer will it protect them?" asked Braveheart.

"Champ and Cheer have had them for 3 to 5 days now. They haven't taken them off, so they should be okay for a little." answered Noble Heart.

"What do you mean, a little while?" asked Tenderheart.

" When our snowglobe necklaces were created they lasted for at least a month. But we didn't go on a big caring mission, like we did this time. Originally those caring crystal necklaces were suppose to be unlimited. Brightheart just informed me this morning that he discovered that the caring crystal necklaces would loose power quicker if they went on a big caring mission." informed Noble Heart.

"Well, how much longer will their care crystal necklaces last?" asked Tenderheart.

" At this point, Brightheart, doesn't even know. We are guessing about three or four more days." answered TrueHeart.

"What happens when the caring crystal necklaces quit working?" asked Brave Heart.

"The vilians will be able to detect them quickly. If the don't have their tummy symbols back by the time the caring crystals quit working, they will end up at Cold Heart Castle." answered Noble Heart.

"What will happen then?" asked Tenderheart.

"We have no idea." asnwered True Heart.

"But we can't think that. We must hurry and get their tummy symbols back." declared Brave Heart.

"Braveheart, is right. We can't think that. We'll talk more in the morning before we leave. For now lets go to bed." stated True Heart.

They shut off their flash lights and went to bed. Little did they know, Champ and Cheer were hiding behind a bush close to their tent hoping to learn some new information. Both of them were stunned and the quickly had to make a difficult decision.

"Cheer, you remember how we talked about how we'd make a decision after we traveled down the mountian."

"Yes,what about it?"

"I think, we have reached our decision. It would probably be best if we go on."

"But, you heard what they said. They don't know how much longer the caring crystals will last."

"I know, but I don't want to be detected and end up at Cold Heart Castle."

"You have a point. We'll go back to the tent back our bags. We will leave a note behind to let the others know where went. Then the two of us will finish this caring mission ourselves."

They went back to their tent. Both of them quietly packed their sleepbags back into their backpacks. Cheer wrote a note and put it by Treatheart's pillow. Then the both of them left the camping grounds.

"I just hope we know what we are doing."

"Don't worry, we will do okay."

Back at the tent, Treatheart had woke up. When she woke up, she found a piece of paper laying next to her pillow. She unfolded it and read it.

Treatheart,

Champ and I have decided that we were going to go on. We over heard the team leaders talking for the past few nights and learned some information. We wished that someone told us this information. The both of us feel like we need to get our tummy symbols back as soon as possiable.

Cheer

After she read Cheer's letter, she was surprised. Treatheart had no idea that the knew truth. She quickly woke up Brightheart and showed him the letter. Brightheart was stunned and woke the team leaders and the rest of members on the caring mission.

" I can't understand why, they'd move on." stated Tenderheart.

"We told them that we'd help them." added Treatheart.

"But, we kept information from them. They must have over heard us talking in the tent the past few nights. So they decided to go on and finish the caring mission alone." stated True Heart.

"Will their caring crystal necklaces still work?" asked Braveheart.

"I don't know. When I created those necklaces, I made sure they had all the protection that they could get. But I knew when I created them, if they went on a big caring mission, those necklaces they would slowly lose power. I couldn't do anything about that." stated Brightheart.

"I am going to make a wish." stated Wish Bear. " I wish that Champ and Cheer will quickly get their tummy symbols back and not be detected by the viliains."

" I want them to have good luck." added Good Luck Bear.

"Since they went on ahead do you think we should follow?" asked Grumpy.

"Some of us will. The rest of will go back to Care A-Lot." declared Noble Heart. "I want Wish Bear, Good Luck Bear, and Grumpy to go back to Care-A-Lot."

"Brave Heart, Tenderheart, Treatheart, Brightheart, Noble Heart and I will go on." stated True Heart.

She pressed her button on her communicator and the three bears were transported back to Care-A-Lot. The remaining members packed their bags and started walking until they come to a fork in the road. One lead to Cold Heart Castle and the other lead to No Heart's Castle.

"Which one should we take?" asked Tenderheart.

"They've probably already passed here. So we are going to have to split up. Tenderheart, Treatheart, and Noble Heart will go to No Heart's Castle. Brightheart, Braveheart and I will go to Cold Heart Castle." stated True Heart.

"But they are expecting Champ and Cheer to go No Heart's castle because it is empty. If anyone goes there, No Heart will know." stated Tenderheart.

"Yes, its true. But what if they didn't hear that information, they could be headed that way." stated Nobleheart.

"But then their is a possiablity that they are going to Cold Heart Castle. We don't know where they can get their tummy symbols back at. So all of us should take a chance go to each place. We have a 50% chance each that they could be at either one." said True Heart.

They split up and started traveling to each placing hoping to catch Champ and Cheer. But they were already ahead of them. The two of the were going to Cold Heart Castle, without know that the vilians would be at both locations.
