Sadly, this will be the closing chapter to this story. But don't panic, I'm already working on an all new story. It's gonna be good.

A group of Star Buddies were casually lounging on a tall mound of white fluffy clouds. They'd just played an exhausting game of tag and were trying to decide what to play next. One of them was in the middle of a sentence filled with whistles and squeaks when a shadow passed over head. Looking up revealed only empty air and blue sky. Ignoring it as a large bird, they resumed their conversation.

It was just after 10 o'clock in the morning. The Care Bears and Cousins were in the Hall of Hearts getting their assignments for the day. Tender Heart was droning on and on about something but no one was really listening. Playful Heart and Funshine had started a game of dots while Champ and Good Luck were thumb wrestling. Bedtime was asleep as well as Brave Heart, Wish, Harmony, and Gentle Heart.

"That about wraps it up. Are there any questions?"

"Yeah. Why do you talk so much?"

All heads turned towards the voice. Fauna was standing in the hall of hearts, wings folded against her back( remember she's a natural pegasus ), a smirk on her face. No one moved, they just stared at her. They couldn't decide wether to be furious or over joyed. The silence was broken by the sound of a chair crashing to the floor. Grumpy ran at Fauna a huge smile on his face. Jumping the last three feet, he latched onto Fauna's foreleg. "You have no idea how happy I am that you're safe."

He felt Fauna shifting beneath him. Human arms hugged him back. Wet drops fell on his head.

"I'm sorry Grumpy. For everything I ever did."

"Good. You'd be incredibly heartless if you weren't."

Swift Heart got down from her chair and ran over to hug Fauna, a few tears leaking from her eyes. "How did you escape from the explosion?"

"My mom."

Grumpy let her go, a frown creasing his face. "What!"

Flashback

"Grumpy don't wander to far. We don't want you getting lost now."

The little blue cub nodded and continued his trek on wobbly legs. Going into the Forest of Feelings, he saw a butterfly and followed it down the path. They butter fly lead him to a river all the colors of the rainbow. On the banks of the river, a young filly with a coat with every horse color ever known was grazing peacefully. Grumpy was so transfixed on her that he didn't see the dip in the bank. Falling head over heals he landed into a puddle of mud. The filly giggled and walked over to him.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Just a little embarrassed. My names Grumpy Bear. What's yours?"

"Rainbow Rabbit." She did a little bow, spreading small immature wings out to her sides. Grumpy gaped wide mouthed. She was just full of surprises.

"I didn't know you could fly?"

"Well I can't yet. I'm not old enough. But in another month I should be able to. What kind of creature are you? I've never seen a blue bear before."

"I'm a Care Bear. At least that's what True Heart tells me. Don't really know what it means."

"Would you like to play?"

"Sure."

Fast forward a few years.

"Grumpy, I need you to go on a caring mission with me. There's...."

"Sorry Tender Heart not today. Rainbow had her foal yesterday and I want to got see it."

He ran passed his friend to the cloud mobiles. Hopping in the nearest one he sped to Pegasus Falls. Arriving at Rainbow and her husband Blizzards nest, he saw a small lump under Rainbows wing.

"Hey Grumpy. Her she is." Lifting her wing, grumpy gazed upon a little appaloosa filly. She was all brown except on her rump. There was a large white patch with many brown spots. ( A/N coloration known as appaloosa although it's a rare form. ) Grumpy knelt down and gently stroked her soft muzzle. She opened her eyes and gave a little sneeze. Rainbow chuckled and licked her.

"What are you going to call her?"

"Because of a unique gift she has, we're going to call her Fauna."

End Flashback.

"Grumpy? Grumpy!"

"Huh? What? Sorry. I was just remembering. How did your mom help you. She's dead."

"I don't really know. One moment I was trying to avoid being crushed by falling stone, and the next I was outside. It looked like her ghost or something but I did see her. She nuzzled me and vanished. I didn't want to come back so I went into hiding. I was hoping you would be less angry at me if I stayed away for a while."

"You know I could never stay mad at you. I raised you ever since your mom and dad were murdered."

Swift Heart coughed. "Hey I helped too."

"Well maybe a little."

"A little?" She started to tick of points on her paw.

"I babysat, I bathed her, I cooked for her, I taught her to fly, I talked you into letting her date Blue. I..."

"Okay okay we get it. You get mother of the year award." Swift Heart smiled and kissed him.

"Hold up time out! When did this happen." The Care Bear family spent the next couple of hours filling in Fauna on all she had missed in the 2 years since she disappeared.

Just as they were finishing up, a red and purple flash came from outside. Looking out the window, Treat Heart saw Dark Heart, No Heart and Professor Cold Heart.

"Quick everybody outside."

"Fauna you stay here."

She trotted past Grumpy. "Fat chance. You know as well as I why they're here. And I intend to chase them away."

No Heart grinned when he saw his former assistant emerge from the Hall of Hearts.

"Hello dear Fauna. So nice to see you again."

"Wish I could say the same to you. Oh wait, no I don't. Let's just make this quick. We all know how it's going to turn out. I hate you, you hate me. I attack you, you zap me, I shift and attack again, you and Dark Heart both shift and attack me, Cold Heart tries to freeze Care Bears, I knock Dark Heart unconscious, they stare Cold Heart, I break your pendant, and you shout, 'I hate you all' and fly away to your castle. That pretty much sums it up right."

No Heart stood considering. "No you forgot the part where in one last attempt I shout 'now' to Beastly. He throws a gold net over you and renders you harmless. Then I brain wash you into becoming my assistant again as the Care Bears watch. But your will is stronger this time and instead you stare me."

"Right. How could I have forgotten that part." As Fauna had been talking to No Heart, the Care Bear Family had snuck around behind the villains and formed al line.

"Care Bears count down...4..."

"Awww I hate this part"

"3....."

"Great a double whammy. Fauna's starting her symbol up"

"2...."

"This is gonna hurt."

"1...."

"So long No Heart."

"Care Bear Stare."

The stares hit their targets right on. Fauna let loose a blast of her own. When the stares stopped, the villains were a rainbow of colors.

"Quick. Let's leave before the feelings take over. I hate you all Care Bears. Especially you Fauna."

Fauna rolled her eyes. "What did I say. He's so predictable."

The evil trio vanished and Fauna was surrounded by the Care Bears. "This calls for a celebration. How about tonight, we have a welcome home party for Fauna."

"That's a great idea Birthday Bear."

"What do you say Fauna?"

"Sure. Let me get Blue and we'll be back."

The Care Bears staggered in her back draft as she took off.

The party lasted into the wee hours of the morning. When it was finally time for everyone to get some sleep, rather then go home, they all passed out in random spot's of the Hall of Hearts. In the very center of the hall, Fauna was laying with Grumpy curled up under her wing. On his left was Swift Heart and on her right was Blue. All 4 had a smile on their faces.

That's it. It's over. Yayayayayyay. That took forever to write. Especially since Fan Fic was down for a while. Hope ya'll enjoyed it. I had a blast writing this last chapter. TTFN. MWAH.
