Disclaimer: I don't own the Care Bears. Sadly.

This chapter is longer because I had a rush of creativity.

Last time on Only Friends?:

"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.

Tune in now for the exciting events in Chapter 4. Bum bum bum.

Behind the secret wall was a big silver machine with a glass chamber.

"This, my furry little friends, is a de-care-a-lizer. It will take the caring right out of you. As soon as the final adjustments are made, one of you will be tested on. Enjoy these last moments as Defenders of caring. Mwahahahahahahahaha."

"I hope the others get here soon."

Meanwhile back in Care-A-Lot, Grumpy had just gotten back from his mission and went to look for Swift Heart.

"Hey Champ, have you seen Swift Heart around anywhere?"

"Yeah, she, Share, and Wish were painting the Caring Meter. But they should be done by now."

"Where do you suppose they are then?"

Back at No Hearts castle, Swift Heart had almost finished picking the lock on their cage.

"I didn't know you could pick locks." said Share.

"How do you think I got out of my crib all the time? There."

Wish created a shooting star slide and they slid to the floor. As they headed to the door, Swift Heart accidently triggered a booby trap. A net dropped on her from the ceiling.

"Go on you guys, get help." "But what about you?" "Don't worry, I can take care of myself. Now Go!" The two Care Bears fled. Swift Heart put the rope between her teeth and tried to bite through. She got shocked. "Ow!"

"It's time Swift Heart. Say good bye to the life you knew and hello to your new master." He pulled her out of the net by her ears and threw her in the glass chamber. She watched as No Heart switched the machine on. A purple gas filled the chamber. Swift Heart started coughing and fell to her knees.

"You can't..... do....this. My friends will.......stop you....."

"Let them try. Your almost gone."

Looking down she saw her tummy symbol disappearing. "No!"

But it was too late. Her symbol disappeared.

No Heart switched off the machine and opened the chamber.

"So Swift Heart, how do you feel?"

A much meaner looking Swift Heart stepped out. Looking around, she balled her hands into fists, "Bad."

Wish and Share made it safely back to Care-A-Lot. "True Heart. Noble Heart. Come quick."

Grumpy, True Heart, Noble Heart, Tender Heart and Brave Heart ran up to them. "What's wrong."

"It's Swift Heart, she's in trouble." Grumpy wasted no time in conjuring up some cloud mobiles. They hopped in and sped off for No Hearts castle.

"Your friends should be here soon to rescue you."

She glared at him, "I have no friends."

"Excellent Swift Heart. Your coming along nicely."

"No Heart! You'd better back away form her if you know what's good for you."

He turned around and saw Grumpy and the others in the doorway. The first thing they noticed was that Swift Hearts symbol was gone. "What did you do to her?"

"Nothing. I've improved her. Don't you agree?"

Grumpy glared daggers at him. "Not at all."

"I'll take care of him. You handle the others." She smirked at Grumpy.

No Heart transformed into a rhino and charged. Swift Heart dashed at Grumpy and slammed him into the wall. He pushed her and she stumbled back. They circled, watching each other.

"Stop Swift Heart. I don't want to hurt you."

"But I want to hurt you. So hold still and make it easy on yourself."

He dodged her punch and pinned her against the wall. "You know you don't want to do this. We're best friends Swift. We're supposed to care about each other. No Heart can't ever change that."

She bit him on his arm and he released her. "Well he has. I don't care about you, and I know you don't care about me."

Looking over at the others, she saw them losing. " I'm right aren't I Grumpy. You don't care about me at all do you. And you never did."

"Now that's where your wrong." Leaning forward he pressed his lips to Swift Hearts. After a few seconds he felt her return the kiss.

"Care Bears Stare!" No Heart vanished from the room. Brave Heart looked over to Swift Heart and Grumpy. Her tummy symbol was coming back as Grumpy kissed her. "Hey everyone, look."

Finally they separated. "I'm sorry I slammed you against the wall Grumpy."

"You should be. That hurt. But I'm glad your okay."

"Really? I couldn't tell."

"Hey love birds. Lets go home."

Grumpy and Swift Heart climbed into one of the cloud mobiles. They waited for the others before he set out for Care-A-Lot.

"When we get back Swift, I think we need to talk."

"I think your right."

When they arrived home, they went to the Hall of Hearts for some coffee. Sitting at a table in the back of the hall, neither of them said a word. It was Grumpy who finally broke the silence.

"I'm glad we were able to save you. I don't know what I would have done without you."

"I think you would have been okay. I mean, I'm just your best friend right."

He moved his paw to cover hers. "Your not just my friend anymore Swift."

She looked over at him and smiled. They sat like that for over 3 hours. Finally they grew tired and flew home to get some sleep.

Awww. Isn't that romantic. Well I don't care if you disagree, I think it is. And I should know..I WROTE THE STORY. DUHR. Okay now that that's out of my system, I'll try to update soon.
