~DISCLAIMER~ I still don't own any of these people and/or creatures. Too bad too…*shrugs* eh, oh well.
Wish Bear looked worriedly through the telescope to Earth again. Maintaining the telescope and watching Earth was her job, but sometimes she wished it weren't.
"Wish Bear, what's the problem?" asked Tenderheart Bear, leader of the Care Bears under True Heart Bear, as he came up to her. Playful Heart Monkey and Bright Heart Raccoon followed him.
"I don't know. I can see a man down there, but all I can tell is that he's very confused and probably very lost."
"But if he's visible through the telescope, he must need our help, right?" asked Bright Heart, who was known for being most logical of the Care Bears or Cousins.
Wish Bear nodded. "Someone should go help him."
"I'll go!" Playful Heart offered. "Wanna help, Wish Bear?"
"Sure. Bright Heart, will you watch the telescope while we're gone?" Bright Heart nodded.
Playful Heart already had a cloud car waiting. "Let's go!"
~~~~~
Playful Heart landed the cloud car in the woods by a lake. "Where do we look?"
"I don't know. Maybe this way?" Wish Bear said pointing.
"Okay." The two started off towards the woods.
"Don't move!" came a very frightened voice from behind them.
Wish Bear and Playful Heart spun around to see a man in his early 20's. He was definitely human, but with a strange alien quality, plus he was pointing an alien looking gun at them.
"Uh…d-do you have a problem? M-maybe t-talking would help…" Playful Heart tried.
"What happened to me? Where am I?" he asked, the fear gone from his voice and replaced by confusion.
"Y-you're on Earth…" Wish Bear told him, still eyeing the weapon.
"I've never heard of Earth."
"Uh…w-well, where a-are you from?"
"Well, Tatooine originally…look, what does that matter?" Anger borne from fear and confusion had seeped into his voice.
At that, Wish Bear projected all of her love and caring through the special symbol on her stomach. The kind, caring light created a bright star around his head.
His eyes grew wide as his anger melted into surprise. "How did you do that? What are you?"
"I am Wish Bear."
"And I'm Playful Heart Monkey." He had lowered his weapon, making both animal beings happy.
"My name is Luke. But again, what are you?"
"It's hard to explain…it's easier just to show you! Come on!" Playful Heart jumped into the waiting cloud car. Luke eyed it warily.
"You want me to ride in…that?"
"Yes. Tenderheart can call a meeting at the Hall of Hearst, and everything will be cleared up," Wish Bear said, gesturing for Luke to get in the back seat.
Luke was skeptical, but with a muttered "May the Force be with me," got into the cloud car.
~~~~~
'What am I doing?' Luke asked himself. 'I have no idea where I am, I can't contact anyone, I am following colored talking animals in a cloud car, and worse of all, I can't sense anything!' Ever since he had arrived here, he had lost all connection to the Force. It seemed to have disappeared entirely.
Except when the green one created the star around his head. It was the Force, he was sure. Not only that, it was borne of the Light Side. Whatever these creatures were, they were Force users and that was enough to get Luke to follow them.
"Hang on, we're almost there!" said the tan one with a tail.
"Uh…ok…"
They broke through the clouds –
– into a world unlike any Luke had ever seen. And he'd been all over the galaxy. Here, everything was made of clouds and rainbows. In the distance, Luke could see a forest full of rainbows and heart shaped flowers.
The green one grabbed Luke's hand and led him into a large, red heart-shaped building. "Welcome to the Hall of Hearts."
