Hugs, Tugs, and Dreams Bear were all sitting in the brig as the ship moved along the water. They sat there moping about, they'd never make it back to Care-a-lot at this rate. They suddenly heard foot steps as one of their captures, the fox from before came down grumbling about something before sitting down on chair just outside of their cell.

They sat in silence for a little while and then Dreams Bear waved the over and whispered "Anyone got a plan?"

Hugs and Tugs thought for a moment but wound up shaking their heads. Dreams shook his head and looked at the guard again and spotted a key chain and said "I got it!"

Both Hugs and Tugs looked at him and Dreams Bear elaborated "One of us will distract the guard and one of the other two grab the keys."

There was a suddenly loud noise and they turned to see the Fox was suddenly up and asked them "What are ye little brats doin?"

Hugs voice was shaky but she said "Oh nothing...mister...um...mister..."

The fox pointed to himself and said "Call me Jack!"

Hugs nodded and said "Okay...mister...um...Jack."

Jack laughed and it seemed to boom in the cell causing the cubs to cower in the corner. Jack looked at them and said "I don't know what the captain sees in you three." Suddenly a female voice said "I wonder what the captain see in you, Jack."

Jack turned around to see the female Jaguar from before wearing a sailors cap.

Jack grabbed his cutlass and said "What do you want Lana?"

Lana grabbed her cutlass too and said "I'm here to relieve you of guard duty."

Jack gave her a weird look and said "Relieve? I just got here."

Lana shrugged "Fine, then stay and watch the three babies while I go and do actual sailor work."

Jack suddenly ran up to her and said "Woah, Woah, Woah, hold up there. I suppose if it be captain's orders."

Lana smirked and said "Give me the keys and go."

Jack happily threw Lana the keys and ran off saying "You watch those little brats they're up to something!"

Lana rolled her eyes and said "Whatever, she then turned to the cubs with a smile as she unlocked the gate and said "Jack, come on out you three, you youngin's don't belong in a cage."

Dreams Bear, Hugs, and Tugs all slowly crept out of the cave and stood in front of her with Hugs still shaking a bit. Lana smiled and leaned down and said "No need to be scared little ones, I'm not going to hurt you and neither is the captain. You guys remind him of his own little daughter..."

She got a look on her face and said "But never mind that, how about I show you all what we got to eat eh?" Dreams bear stomach growled, it hadn't even occurred to them that they hadn't had breakfast yet.

Lana walked them toward the kitchen and suddenly heard the sound of pots and pans being flung around and said "Oh my I guys Jones is cooking."

The three cubs formed a line as they walk into the kitchen and nearly screamed at what they saw before them...

"...Still, uncle No Heart helped through my algebra, so I guess I did owe him one favor."

Innocent sighed she didn't even know why she held onto Shreeky's diary, her nature curiosity and book loving got the better of her and she just couldn't stop reading. As she walked through the castle she began to feel a draft coming through and she shivered before turning a corner and hearing a loud crash. She stopped moving and slipped the book behind her back and turned around and said "Hello?"

There was no sound. She slowly made her way down the hallway and there was another crash and she stopped and turned to some stairs and slowly made her way over.

As she neared the bottom she heard Shreeky shouting "...Move it fur ball we got to move those clones before Uncle No Heart or the Care Bear find them."

She then heard Beastly reply "Oh but where are we going to move them Shreeky?

" Shreeky groaned and said "I don't care fur ball! Just move them!" Beastly nodded and then Innocent heard the sound of feet running.

She then heard Shreeky sigh and began to walk toward her way. Innocent ducked behind some random box and waited as Shreeky walked by and looked around before she walked up the stairs.

Innocent then ran away from where she was and hid behind a wall before she couldn't hear Shreeky's foot steps any more and then she went the way she heard Beastly go.

As she made her way down the hallway she suddenly saw a door to the left and she looked around before she opened it and saw it lead to another stair case the went further down. As she want down she felt the air get colder as she walked further down.

Soon she found herself on the end of the stairs and there was a much smaller hallway with two doors at the end of it and she heard Beastly saying some thing as she hid behind one of them and listened "Now listen here you! We are all going to move to a new spot and I don't want to hear any crying!"

She suddenly heard another voice the sounded like Tenderheart say "Where are we going Beastly?"

Beastly sighed noticeable and said "No more questions let's go!"

And he opened the door next to Innocent and walked out with the cloned Care Bears and Cousins behind him.

Innocent was confused at first but remembered something about clones the Shreeky had mention but she slowly followed the group up the stairs...

Tenderheart was still in shock over what he saw. His sister...gone...he had only just met her too and he wasn't even convinced she was really his sister but still... Noble Heart was piloting the heart down the mountains as slowly and carefully as possible True Heart was rocking and humming to her son as they went down and the little orphaned cub held onto Tenderheart's leg.

Tenderheart looked down at her and she looked up at him and he smiled and picked her up and have her a hug. He felt as though she had lost a lot more than he did and she was the one who needed the most sympathy.

It was a little bit of a ride before they reached the bottom but one they were there they all seemed to hop off with True Heart and Tenderheart holding the young ones. Noble Heart nearly collapsed on the group he was exhausted all the running and fighting took it out of everyone.

They were barely able to set up a small camp for them to rest and replenish. After a small fire started they all were starting to warm up.

The foal feel asleep in Noble Heart's arms after he took him from True Heart who had also fallen asleep. Tenderheart felt the little bear in his hands fall asleep as well and he laid her down on a blanket and wrapped her up and let her sleep.

As Tenderheart warmed up by the fire with Noble the two sat in silence. Soon however Noble Heart broke the silence by saying "I'm...I'm sorry about your sister..."

Tenderheart looked at him briefly and said "Thanks I guess? I'm not really sure the proper response to that."

Noble Heart gave the bear a sad look and placed his son next to his sleeping wife and then slipped over to Tenderheart's side and said "It's not your fault Tenderheart."

Tenderheart sighed loudly and said "I know, I think, I just...don't know...I have no idea what think. I don't even know if she was really my sister."

Noble Heart was quiet for a moment and said "She was...telling you the truth."

Tenderheart looked at him and said "How do you know?"

Noble Heart shifted in his spot and said "There was a small group of former Care Bears and Care Bear Cousins in a valley back when I was in my youth with True Heart. I don't, didn't, remember it's exact location but it was there that they settled first before the Great Wishing Star or any of it. We did have conflict with others. All I remember from those days is running with True Heart, and next thing we knew there were a bunch of baskets floating down the river. And that when we found all of you."

Tenderheart was dumbstruck, he just stared at Noble and said "Your kidding."

Noble shook his head and said "No, we eventually built a ship and the rest we've told you. Dark Heart was one we didn't start fighting until we were sailing away but, he was there and we were young."

He said that last part as he watched True Heart and their son sleeping. Tenderheart looked at him and said "So she was my sister?"

Noble sighed and said "Potentially, I've...repressed a lot of that...time."

Tenderheart nodded and said "I see, so now what?"

Noble looked at him and said "What do you mean?"

Tenderheart indicated the sleeping cub and Noble said "What do you think?"

Tenderheart sighed and said "I want to adopt her, and that other cub in Care-a-lot, for my sister."

Noble Heart smiled and said "So it shall be."

And he wrapped a blanket around his shoulders and the wind picked up...

Grumpy and Lots-a were still moving about the ship on order to not be seen by the crew and needless to say it was a lot harder than previously thought. As they barely managed to get behind some boxes before a sailor walked by Lots-a whispered "What do we do Grumpy?"

Grumpy crossed his arms and thought for a moment then said "The only way to get down there is to put on disguises."

Lots-a looked around and said "Well there isn't exactly much to work with."

Grumpy nodded and said "Well, what do we have to lose?"

And he went for a separate crate as Lots-a said "Our freedom?"

Grumpy however ignored him and opened the chest up and snatched some hats that were in there and an eye patch. Lots-a kept a look out but saw no one and threw on his hat which barely fit because of his ears but he managed to squeeze it on.

Grumpy, after a few more crates, finally found some shirts and pants and threw some to Lots-a and they put on their outfits. As Grumpy slipped on his eye patch he said "Alright let's go down below and see if we can find the cubs."

Lots-a nodded in agreement and said "And that's the truth."

And the two made their way toward the deck when they heard someone say "Hey! Where are you two going?"

They stopped and turned to see the captain and Grumpy gulped and said "Uh, no where sir."

The captain bear walked closer his boot made noises as he walked and he said "And where may no where be?"

Grumpy looked at Lots-a who looked back and said "No where?"

The captain squinted at him and was about to say some thing when Lana out of no where said "They're with me captain."

The captain looked at Lana and said "You sure?"

Lana nodded and said "Yes captain I needed them to watch the prisoners."

The captain raised his hand and scratched his chin and said "Alright take 'm below will you?"

Lana nodded and grabbed the two by the shoulders and whispered quietly "I don't know who you two are but I assume you're here for those kids so you better Edwin fast." And they reached the stair case that lead to the lower decks.

As they went down below the captain shouted "Lana!"

And Lana stopped in her tracks and said "Um...yes captain?"

The captain looked to her with one eye and said "I want those cubs at the meal today, I have a plan for them."

Lana nodded and said "Yes of course captain."

And she joined Grumpy and Lots-a below deck...
