While all this was going on, Rubber Heart was still asleep in bed. Having nearly drowned yesterday in a prank that the Joker card made for him, he wanted to sleep. He had his straw hat placed on a table on the side of his bed & his shirt in a chair nearby. However, downstairs, the other 3 bears in the room were eating, Grams, Hugs, & Tugs were all sitting at the table while Rubber Heart was asleep upstairs. Grams promised him a bowl of the soup they were eating once he was up. Later, Grams was putting the dishes away, then turned to Hugs & Tugs.

"Now, my little darlings." She said. "We promised Rubber Heart some soup, & I kept the promise."

"Really?" Hugs asked.

"Yes, Hugs." Grams said. She said, then pointed over to a bowl of soup that was still hot. "I heated that up to save it for Rubber Heart. Why don't you 2 wake him up & take it to him."

"Oh Goody goody gosh, Grams." Said Hugs. "You're letting us take food to Rubber Heart?"

"Of course, my little darlings." Said Grams. "Now don't dawdle."

"Okay, Grams." Said Tugs, he & Hugs ran over to the bowl & picked it up. They both carried it up the stairs, being careful not to spill it, & made it into Rubber Heart's room.

"I know how to wake him up, Tugs." Said Hugs, Tugs turned to his sister.

"How?" Tugs asked. Hugs carried the bowl over to Rubber Heart's nose & let the odor seep into his nostrils. A few sniffs & Rubber Heart's eyes shot open & his trademark grin appeared on his face.

"FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!" He shouted. He snatched the plate from Hugs & Tugs & guzzled it down in 2 seconds. He handed the plate back to the cubs. "Thanks, kids, that was delicious." Rubber Heart said. "But then again, so's everything else Grams makes."

"You're welcome, Rubber Heart." Said Tugs. "So, what do you wanna do?"

"Well." Rubber Heart said. "How about we watch a couple of romance movies & make rude noises during the mushy parts."

"Okay, Rubber Heart." Hugs said. The 2 then walked out of the room with the bowl while Rubber Heart pulled his shirt & hat on, then raced downstairs with him. He went over to the TV & looked through the cupboard underneath.

"Hugs' first steps, Tugs' first word, Scooby Doo & The Ghoul School..." he read as his finger passed over the labels. "Aha!" He said as his finger rested on a video tape. "Casa Blanca. The perfect tear-jerker to rudely interrupt." He pulled the video from its slot & looked at it. He turned to the kitchen, where the other 3 bears were. "I FOUND A GOOD MOVIE!! HUGS, TUGS, C'MON IN!!" Hugs & Tugs dashed in while, Grams walked in behind them.

"What is the movie, my big darling?" Grams asked.

"Casa Blanca." Rubber Heart said, showing the video tape to the 3 bears.

"Oh goody goody gosh!" Rubber Heart's fans said. Rubber Heart sat into the couch & Hugs & Tugs leapt onto the armrests. Grams sat in her rocking chair. Rubber Heart stretched his arm towards the VCR & plunked the tape inside. He pressed play & retracted his hand.

"Get your rude noisemakers ready, kids." Rubber Heart said to the 2 cubs. Grams chuckled.

"Here it comes." Grams thought to herself.
