The Fifth Element
Chapter 29: Bears Bears Bears Bears Bears


Stag, Huntress Wizard, Frosty Bob and Finn marched towards Party Pat's cave. They were all looking solemnly. They looked up at the gaping maw of Party Pat's cave.

Outside the mouth of the cave was a wooden sign. Beware the Bears Playing Tonight!

"That sounds vaguely threatening." Said Finn.

"Well guy, there you go. Good luck." Said Stag. The Ninja King turned to walk away. "You coming HayDubz?"

"I'm gonna go with Johnn...I mean, Finn." Huntress Wizard said. "I wanna see how he does."

"Of course you do..." Stag muttered, his ears drooping. "Fair enough. I'll come with you."

Stag was getting more and more irritated, but what was he gonna do, forbid Huntress Wizard from doing something just because he didn't like it? He wasn't that type of guy.

"Just be supportive and kind. Thats what makes you a good boyfriend." Stag muttered under his breath, as he caught up with the three ahead of him.

Finn looked at Huntress Wizard. "So, tell me about Party Pat?" He asked.

"I can't really tell you THAT much. Apart from me and Stag, the Five Kings of the Forest tend to stay out of eachothers way. We know of eachother, but we know zip ABOUT eachother."

"So...how did you and Stag start seeing eachother?" Finn asked. However, after he said that, a small thought crossed his mind, so he added "Unless of course that's none of my business."

"As I said, it's a bit more casual than that." Huntress Wizard said, looking at her feet. "I haven't been that sound, emotionally speaking. Not since..."

Huntress Wizard looked at Finn, trying to say "Go On" with her eyes. She was desperate to coax out at least one memory of their past. Of Johnny.

"Since what?"

"Never mind." Huntress Wizard said, looking at her feet. "You should get focused for your next fight. And be careful, Party Pat's cave is full of bears."

"REALLY!" Finn said excitedly. "That's AWESOME!"

"Meh, not really. Bears are dumb." Huntress Wizard sighed.

The four kept going until Finn started to hear music. Loud music.

"We're getting close alright." Stag rolled his eyes.

The four began to see unconsious bear cubs, all with little symbols on their bellies. They were lying on the floor in a daze, all soaked with honey.

"We're getting to the end." Huntress Wizard began to shout, as the music and lights where getting louder and brighter.

Then they saw it.

In the back of the cave hung a giant crystal in the ceiling. Lasers from the bear's bellies where being shot into the crystal, refracting the light and making a frankly awesome light show. Bears were dancing on illuminated crystal squares on the floor, or gorging themselves on pancakes and jugs of honey at a formation of rocks that resembled a bar.

There was an abnormally tall and thin bear, who was dancing harder than any of the other bears. He wore a green jacket, white shirt and brown trilby hat.

"That's Party Pat." Huntress Wizard pointed. That was all Finn needed to hear.

"PARTY PAT!" Finn shouted, running to the centre of the cave. "I CHALLENGE YOU TO BATTLE!"

The music came to an abrupt stop.
