Okey dokey. Here is the next chappie. I'm sorry it took so long. Junior year of high school is hard. And I tried to make this chapter longer then the others. This is when the fluff sort of kinda maybe starts. It all depends.

It took the Care Bear Family 6 hours to get the Hall of Hearts back to it's normal shape and color. Grumpy and Swift Heart weren't so lucky. It took them 2 days of hard scrubbing before they were back to their blue selves.

"I don't know about you Swift, but I never want to see another luffa as long as I live."

She shook her head trying to get the water out of her ears. Grumpy handed her a towel. "Thanks. Yeah neither do I. Tender Heart just loved rubbing it in that I now had a very 'colorful personality'." She made little quote marks in the air. Grumpy smiled. He rarely smiled but whenever he did, it was usually around her.

"Hold still. You got something on your shoulder." She felt warmth flood her body as Grumpy's paw brushed off her shoulder. Lately she'd been feeling funny around him. Kind of light headed and giddy.

"Hello Earth to Swift Heart." "Huh?" He looked at her concerned. "Are you okay, your face got all red."

"I'm fine. Hey, you wanna race?"

"What's the point. We both know you'll win. You always win."

She started to pout her lip and wiggle her ears. Grumpy groaned, "Oy, the face. I guess I have no choice now do I?" She shook her head. "Alright, we'll race back to my house. On your mark. Get set. Go!" She gave him a 5 second head start before she revved up and shot off. When she passed Grumpy, he started coughing from her cloud dust and fell to his knees.

"Grumpy. Are you okay?" She ran back to him and kneeled beside him. Without warning, Grumpy got to his feet and ran to his front door. "Gotcha."

"You cheated."

"Hmm let me think. I seem to recall a game of war you won by reusing your aces over and over again."

"Okay fine, you win. So what do you wanna do now?"

Before he could respond, Tender Hearts voice broadcasted over the speaker system. "Grumpy, please report to the Hall of Hearts. There is a mission for you.

"Oh man. I guess I'll catch up with you later Swift." She watched him walk tot he Hall of Hearts.

"Note to self, put something wet and very slimy in Tender Hearts bed tonight."

In search of something to do she hopped off in the direction of the Caring Meter. Wish and Share were there giving it a paint job.

"Hey Swift Heart, you wanna help?"

"Sure. I have nothing else to do."

High over head, Beastly and Shreeky watched the two Care Bears and Care Bear Cousin.

"Are you ready yet furball."

"Almost Shreeky. Maybe if you helped, it would have been ready sooner."

She pulled out her magic mirror and shot a bolt at his butt. "Now hurry up."

"I'm hurrying. I'm hurrying." Beastly finished attaching the net to the bottom of the helicopter. He dove straight at the group.

Share looked up and saw the two bad guys coming at them. "Look out! It's Beastly and Shreeky!" But it was too late. In one movement, the three were scooped up and flown to No Hearts castle.

They put the members of the Care Bear Family in a cage in No Hearts throne room.

"Uncle No Heart will be here shortly. You'll be in for it then.

Beastly chortled his funky little laugh type thing and they left the room.

"What are we gonna do now?"

"Don't worry Wish. Sooner or later the others will realize were gone and come looking for us."

"But that could take hours Swift Heart. Who knows what No Heart will have done to us by then."

Lightning sounded outside and they moved to the center of the cage. The door opened and they watched as the creature in the purple robe entered the room.

"Welcome Care Bears and Care Bear Cousin, to your doom."

"Whatever your planning No Heart. It will never work. The others will stop you."

"Oh, I'm counting on it my purple friend. For when they do, I'll use this on them."

He pulled a lever that opened a secret wall. The Care Bears gasped when they saw what was inside.

Uhoh, another cliffy. If you reveiw, I'll try to type faster. Hope you enjoyed.
