(A/N: Welcome to the first part of this two-part arc! I'll admit, I mostly don't wanna do this, mainly because I don't like Care Bears. However, if I don't do this, then we have the whole trip in New York that had been built up for awhile take place off-screen, which would be a massive disappointment to all of you. Plus, the stuff that happens in this mini arc is plot-relevant for this story and later stories. Anyways, hope you enjoy this take on The Care Bears Movie and pray for my brain cells.)


Everyone's P.O.V.-Cherrywoods' House/Orphanage, ?-2060(Everything still looks like it's from the late 1900s-early 2000s. Wanna know why? Multiverse theory! Plus, this is part of the Sabrina The Animated Series timeline, where the technology is way behind, despite the time period and the efforts to advance technology around the world.)

It was evening as we began our story at a house, a house that still has its lights on as 9 kids have their hands clasped in a prayer.

"Bless all the people young and old, for they are yours to love and hold, and bless Mr. and Mrs. Cherrywood, amen," the kids in the room prayed.

"Good night, children. Sweet dreams," Mrs. Cherrywood said.

"Mrs. Cherrywood, isn't Mr. Cherrywood going to tuck us in?" asked one of the children.

"Oh, he'll be along. Don't you worry," Mrs. Cherrywood assured as Mr. Cherrywood walk up the stairs, taking off his hat.

"I hope I'm not too late," Mr. Cherrywood said, walking up to the room.

"They've been asking for you." Mrs. Cherrywood informed, moving aside so that Mr. Cherrywood can walk in the room.

"Mr. Cherrywood!" The same kid said in excitement as the other kids cheered.

"Look sharp, everyone. Watch the bouncing balls," Mr. Cherrywood said as he began juggling a couple of balls.

"All righty, here we go. A-one, a-two, a-three. And then...ah-ah-ah!" Mr. Cherrywood finished his juggling act as the kids cheered.

"Thank you, thank you and...thank you. Now off to sleep to dream of clowns and circuses, acrobats and jugglers. And remember: I want a full report in the morning." Mr. Cherrywood said to the kids with a kind smile, as they gave him one in return.

"Story, Mr. Cherrywood? Story? Please, the one about the circus?" Another child, a female toddler, asked.

Mr. Cherrywood, at the door with Mrs. Cherrywood, look back into the room with a knowing smile.

"Please?" asked another child.

"Yay! Tell us a story!" The other kids say.

"Well...all right," Mr. Cherrywood said, as the kids began to cheer. "Just one story."

All the boys jumped onto one bed and all the girls did the same so that they could hear the story properly. As Mr. Cherrywood sat down on a red chair, Mrs. Cherrywood picked up the toddler and handed her to Mr. Cherrywood, who placed the toddler on his lap.

"Story hat, story hat!" The toddler said, knowing that the story cannot be properly told unless Mr. Cherrywood is wearing his hat, which Mrs. Cherrywood handed to him and he put it on.

"Yay!" The toddler said.

Mr. Cherrywood turned on the lamp near his chair so that he can have a bit more light. Mrs. Cherrywood leaned against the doorframe, listening to the story Mr. Cherrywood is telling.

"This is the story of two young children named Kim and Jason, and how they were helped by a group of very special friends: the Care Bears. You see, the Care Bears have a very special mission, and that mission is to help everyone share their feelings with others. The Care Bears live in a magic place...called Care-a-lot."


49 years ago-Care-A-Lot, Somewhere beyond Earth-November 21st, 2011

The story shifts through time, showing everyone a city in the clouds high above the planet Earth.

"Care-a-lot is a place we all can go"

"Whenever we choose it

"Care-a-lot is a feeling we all know

"We never do lose it

""We can find a secret place

"To rest and make a new start

"If you don't know where it is

"Look inside your heart"

Wish Bear looked down at Earth, mainly Manhattan, New York via a telescope, where three kids were walking down the sidewalk, looking miserable.

One of the kids was a young boy, about eight or nine years old with brown hair, yellow shirt and blue overalls. The other two kids were girls with blond hair. One was wearing a pink shirt with blue jeans and the other was wearing white tank top with a pink stripe and a pink skirt.

"Care-a-lot is a playground you can find"

Wish Bear looked away from the telescope and jumped down a rainbow slide.

"For sliding and swinging"

Wish Bear landed at the bottom and ran past a Care Bear on the swings.

"Carousels playing music in your mind"

Wish Bear ran past three Care Bears on the carousel.

"For dancing and singing"

Wish Bear accidently got caught up in Tenderheart Bear and Love-A-Lot Bear spinning around for a moment before getting her arm free.

"Sometimes you feel so glad

"Sometimes you feel blue"

Wish Bear ran past Grumpy Bear, who was on a cloud with a rain cloud pouring rain on him.

"Share your feelings, it's not bad"

Wish Bear ran up to Friend Bear and Secret Bear, the former fixing a cloud car and the latter just relaxing.

"Feelings are just you"

Wish Bear frantically gestured to her telescope and pointed down towards Earth.

"When you're lonely"

Friend Bear looked through the telescope to see the three kids, plus another one walking through the park, looking down and carrying two bags.

This kid was wearing a red hat that was facing backwards that did nothing to cover his black hair nor the green edges, a green short-sleeved vest with a long-sleeved shirt under, a pair of fingerless gloves, and a pair of jeans.

"Don't you fret

"You're not alone you just tend to forget"

Friend Bear nodded to Secret Bear, confirming what Wish Bear said.

"Care-a-lot is easily found"

Friend Bear and Secret Bear stood up, deciding to help out the kids with their problems.

"You've been there"

The two Care Bears got into the cloud car. As Secret Bear gave Wish Bear a salute, Friend Bear gave Wish Bear back the telescope. They were about to drive off only for a whistle to stop them.

"And you have friends who care

"Don't you let your sadness get you down"

A star was blowing the whistle, allowing another Care Bear to drive by on a Rainbow Roller.

"It always helps when you sing a song"

The star blew the whistle again, allowing Friend Bear and Secret Bear to drive on. Secret Bear waved goodbye to Wish Bear as Friend Bear drove the cloud car down towards Earth.

"Good cheer carries you along

"Through darkness leads to sunlight

"A new day comes, it's all right

"Care-a-lot is a place you'd like to be

"Riding on a cloud, you'll care a lot

"It's a rainbow fantasy

"For laughing out loud"

The cloud car drove by a rainbow that heads down to Earth.

"Care-a-lot is a place we all can go"

A butterfly flew by Secret Bear's face, catching her interest as she attempted to catch it, standing on multiple clouds. However, one of the clouds were small and weak, breaking apart as she landed on it.

"Is a place we all can go

"Care-a-lot is a place we all can go

"Is a place we all can go

"Care-a-lot, it's a place we all can go

"Is a place we all can go"

Luckily for Secret Bear, Friend Bear drove by, catching her. Friend Bear look behind her, wondering how Secret Bear got on her lap.

"Learn to care a lot

"Share a lot

"Care-a-lot"

Secret Bear uncovered her eyes, glad to be alive and hugged Friend Bear. However, that caused the car to go straight down as no one was driving it.


Aaron's P.O.V.-Central Park

"Another day of this trip, another day of being lonely," I say to myself, looking down at the bags of supplies for my apology gift to Sabrina.

I'll admit, I had my hopes for this trip set up high. I thought at least something great would happen to me on this trip so I can tell everyone.

Not to say hanging out with my parents isn't fun, it's great. But they can't replace friendship.

Despite finding out from listening to Zelda telling my parents that Chloe admitted I was right about how terrible friends we were to Sabrina, Chloe had not called me to tell me herself.

And Sabrina...well, she's still mad at me for what happened with Alvin. And from what I heard from Zelda(same conservation I listened in on), Sabrina had made two new friends here.

"If only I hadn't done that to her, then maybe we can hang out together," I muttered to myself bitterly.

"Hey, did anyone else hear someone singing like they were bored out of their mi-" A familiar voice said, before the owner of said voice and I bumped into each other.

"Ow." The two of us said before looking at each other.

"Oh no. Aaron, I thought you said you were going to give me some space," Sabrina said, as two kids, her new friends, helped her up.

"Sabreeny, I'm so sorry. I have no idea you and your friends were gonna be here." I apologize.

"You mean Manhattan or in general?" Sabrina asked sarcastically.

Even if her anger towards me is justified, it hurts a bit.

"I mean walking through this park. I was just doing some shopping," I explain.

"What do you mean? You called me, telling me to come here with Kim and Jason." Sabrina said, pointing at the blonde female and the brunette boy respectively.

"Um, no I didn't. I didn't even know their names till you just told me. I lost my iPod last night and didn't even tell anyone about it. I had even put up missing posters for it. Did you not see them?" I asked.

Sabrina, Kim and Jason looked next to them to see one of the posters I put up on a bench.

"That wasn't there until you just mentioned it. How did you do that? Are you magic?" Jason asked.

"Um..."

"Wait, Aaron, if you didn't call me, then who did?" Sabrina asked.

"I don't know. And I know you don't want to hear what I have to say," I said, standing up and about to make my way to the exit when one of the bushes began to shake.

"I'm here!" Harvey exclaimed, jumping out of the bushes.

"Harvey, where is my iPod?" I asked.

"Let me catch my breath," Harvey said, before I grabbed him by his shirt.

"Harvey, I'm not gonna ask a third time. Where. Is, My. iPod?!" I asked again.

"Okay, okay. I traded it in last night. In fact, there was the person I traded it for, right there," Harvey pointed at a cloaked figure hanging around the nearest exit, who bolted.

"Hey, get back here!" I shouted, dropping Harvey and chasing after the cloaked figure, who had my iPod in his/her/its pockets.


Sabrina's P.O.V.-Meanwhile

Sabrina knew despite Aaron keeping his tone normal, he was hurt by her attitude towards him. Which made Sabrina notice a few things.

First of all, Aaron did give her some space after that Sunday when they first arrived here in Manhattan. Second, Aaron is trying to earn Sabrina's forgiveness. And third, Aaron never knew Kim and Jason's names until just now and his iPod was stolen, so how could he call her?

The only people who knew about Jason and Kim are Zelda, Hilda and Salem.

But Zelda would never do something that cruel, especially since she is putting the feud between her and Hilda behind her.

Hilda might do it, but the call wasn't via magic, something Hilda likes to do. Plus, Hilda is at the mall.

The only one is Salem. And when Sabrina thought about it, she realized something else that made her blood boil: she still hadn't punished Salem for emotionally manipulating her!

In fact, everytime she seems to think of one, Salem manages to get out of it by reminding Sabrina that Aaron did it first, causing Sabrina to get more mad at Aaron than she should have. Gods, how could she have been so blind?

And the only way Salem could've made the call was by someone giving Aaron's iPod to him. Someone like...

"Harvey, why are you here?" Sabrina asked, remembering Harvey was still there, breathing heavily.

"What?" Harvey asked.

"Why are you here?" Sabrina asked again, grabbing Harvey by the shirt and pulling him to her face.

"Um...well, you see..." Harvey tried to come up with an explanation.

Before Sabrina could ask a third time, there was the sound of something crashing. Everyone looked to see two multicolored bears crashed next to a tree as parts of a cloud broke apart, disappearing.

One of the bears whispered to the other. "No, Secret Bear, I don't think it was the Cloud-mobile's fault." The other bear said, rubbing her head.

Secret Bear, the bear who whispered, tapped the other bear's shoulder and pointed at Sabrina, Kim, Jason and Harvey. Sabrina was still holding Harvey, who looked at the two bears with confusement and joy, while Kim and Jason glance at each other and shrugged.

"Hi. I'm Friend Bear and this is Secret Bear. We're Care Bears." Friend Bear said, standing up.

"What do you want?" Jason asked as Sabrina dropped Harvey, dumbfounded by talking bears.

"Only to be your friends," Friend Bear answered.

In response to that, Sabrina, Kim and Jason turned around and began to leave the park, leaving Harvey and the Care Bears behind.

Sabrina knew that it isn't easy to be friends with Kim and Jason, especially when one claims to want to be friends with them. She only became friends with them because they have lost both their parents in a car crash and she knows what it's like to lose parents.

Her mother is dead, her father is probably making a family without her and her Great-Uncle Quigley...well, that's a sore spot.

The Care Bears attempted to get their attention, but they ignored the attempts as they made their way to the park's exit, even as Harvey tried to catch up but stop multiple times to catch his breath.

"Everyone needs friends, Jason! Even you, Kim and Sabrina!" Friend Bear shouted.

"We're not your friends," Kim said, as she, Sabrina and Jason turned around to face the Care Bears.

"How did you know our names?" Jason asked.

"Really, Jason? That's your biggest question? I mean, that's a legit query, but that should be question #5." Aaron said, standing behind Sabrina, Jason and Kim.

"Aaron, how did you got here?" Sabrina asked, surprised.

"Well...actually, how did I get here?" Aaron asked.


Aaron's P.O.V.-Flashback-a couple minutes ago

"Almost there...gotcha!" I exclaim, grabbing the iPod out of the cloaked figure's pockets.

"No! My plans!" The cloaked figure shouted, their voice disguised.

"Now, time to figure out who you are, you no-good-" I began, only to trip and fall on something, which went backwards all the way back to Central Park.


Present time-everyone's P.O.V.

"So, you tripped on a skateboard?" asked Sabrina, pointing at said object.

"So that's what it was," Aaron said.

"...Aaron, did you become a idiot for a moment?" Sabrina asked.

"No, I didn't even know I was on the skateboard." Aaron said.

Before Sabrina could ask how Aaron did not notice the skateboard when he was on it, she looked down and actually could see why Aaron didn't notice. It was so close to the ground that no one noticed it at first glance.

"Wait, what do you mean question #5? Do you have a list of questions?" Jason asked Aaron.

"Actually yes," Aaron replied.

"What are the questions, then?" Kim asked, a bit curious.

"Well, easy," Aaron said, before looking at the Care Bears.

"Who are you? Where did you come from? How did you get here? Are you magic or aliens? How did you our names? If you are magic, why are you revealing that despite the laws of magic forbid it? If you are aliens, why are you here despite the risk of getting dissected? And more importantly, what classifies as caring? I mean, what if I went out to get pizza with a friend and they ask, 'Yo, what you want for toppings?' and I say, "I don't care," would you guys show up?"

Aaron took a deep breath as everyone stared at him in shock, except for Sabrina.

"You made those questions up on the fly, didn't you?" Sabrina asked, a bit impressed.

"Yep," Aaron admitted shamelessly, handing Sabrina a list that went on for miles.

"I didn't get to put 100 questions on there, though," Aaron said sheepishly.

"How did you not get that far?" asked Sabrina, reading the list, wondering how far it went to.


Meanwhile-Greendale-Principal/Mayor's P.O.V.

"Ah, free vacation from watching those brats at scho-" she began, only for a piece of paper to poke her in the face, annoying her.

She grabbed it and looked down at it, only to notice one thing about it.

"Who uses blank paper?! I mean, honestly!" She exclaimed, only for something to yank the paper out of her grip, causing her to be shocked at first.

"...AARON DIMENSION! THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH YOU!" She roared.


Meanwhile, back in Manhattan, New York-Everyone's P.O.V.

"Well, that was weird," Sabrina commented on the brief tugging sensation for the list, before continuing to read.

Aaron was right, though. He only got 99 questions written down on the list, while the rest of the list was blank.

"Jeez, Aaron, that's a lot of paper," Sabrina remarked as she rolled up the list and handed it back to Aaron.

"Thanks." Aaron said.

"Doesn't explain how these...Care Bears know Kim, Jason and my names, though," Sabrina said, pointing at the Care Bears.

"Touche," Aaron said, before turning to Friend Bear and Secret Bear, both of whom just watched the interactions in silence.

"How did you know their names?" Aaron asked.

"We know a lot of things about them, and you, Aaron." Friend Bear said as she and Secret Bear walked up to the four.

"Kim reads a lot and wants to be a nurse when she grows up." Friend Bear said, as Kim looked down in embarrassment.

"And Jason, you wanna be a jet pilot," Friend Bear continued on.

"Yeah. How did you know that?" Jason asked.

"Friends are supposed to know about each other's hopes and dreams," Friend Bear said as Secret Bear whispered into her ears.

"Friends, stalkers, it's all good!" Aaron said with a straight face, though Sabrina knew Friend Bear's words struck a nerve for him.

"Secret Bear says not to worry. No one can keep a secret like Secret Bear." Friend Bear said as Secret Bear zipped up her mouth.

"Well, I'll tell you what we know about people you care for. They always let you down." Jason said.

"So we'd rather not have any friends, Sabrina here excluded. Don't trouble yourselves." Kim said as she, Jason and Sabrina began to leave.

"Plus, you don't know anything about me...or Aaron," Sabrina said to the two Care Bears from over her shoulder.

Aaron looked a bit hurt before regaining his composure in front of present company.

"Well, you heard them, they don't need anymore friends. And you don't know anything about Sabrina nor do you know about me. Guess you wasted your time," Aaron said, leaving.


Meanwhile-random circus in Manhattan, New York-Tenderheart Bear and Nicholas's P.O.V

Tenderheart, on a Rainbow Roller, flew over a circus, looking around for a magician's trailer. Once he saw it, he landed behind a tree and peeked out from behind.

Nicholas, the magician helper, opened the trailer door as a delivery man brought out a heavy trunk full of stuff. The delivery man put the trunk down and walked back to his truck as Nicholas attempted to carry it, but failed at first.

Nicholas then tried to ask the man to help, only for the man to start the engine and drive off, leaving Nicolas to cough from the smoke.

"Thanks," Nicholas said sarcastically and bitterly.

Nicholas then put it on his back and carried it up the trailer stairs slowly and grunting due to the weight of it.

The magician that is in charge of Nicholas was in the process of doing a house of cards when one fell.

He turned towards the door to see Nicholas carrying the trunk while grunting. "Hey! Close the door!" The magician barked, annoyed with Nicholas for having the door open rather than helping the poor kid.

Nicholas attempted to, but the weight of the trunk shifted his balance, causing him to stumble backwards towards the back of the trailer, where he fell, causing the house of cards to collapse.

The magician gave an annoyed sigh before standing up and walking to where Nicholas was groaning. The trunk was open and half of the contents were broken.

Nicholas looked up to see the magician looking down at him with a firm look.

"I-I didn't mean it," Nicholas attempted to say.

"Oh, you never mean it, Nicholas. I bought that trunk thinking maybe there's some junk in it I can use in my magic act. Now half of it's broken!" The magician ranted before sighing.

"What am I going to do with you? Every time I give you a simple thing to do, it's boom this and crash that!" The magician said as Tenderheart silently entered the trailer.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fetuccini." Nicholas apologized.

"Enough of your sorry's! Check that new trunk and see if there's anything left I can use in my magic act. I have a show to put on." Mr. Fetuccini said as he walked towards the front of the trailer, causing Tenderheart to hide under the makeup table.

"Perhaps one day I will teach you how to make an audience love you. But right now you're next to hopeless." Mr. Fetuccini said as Tenderheart gave a raised eyebrow at that.

However, a sudden glow came from a hole in the wall behind Tenderheart, catching his attention as he looked through it.

Nicholas had a candle lit as he gave a sad sigh. He sorted through the stuff while wiping away any stray tears until a random wrapped package slid out of the trunk.

"Next thing I know, you might be telling the parents I may or may not have and you might or might not be keeping me from seeing." Nicholas muttered to himself.

Nicholas let out another sad sigh as he put the package on the table, not knowing that the seal was glowing a bright gold before melting.

"I wish...I'd give anything to find a way to get people to like me." Nicholas said as the package unwrapped itself, revealing a book with a green glow and a face on its cover, the eyes closed.

"Anything?" A strange, female voice asked.

Nicholas looked around, trying to find the source of said voice.

"Nicholas?" The voice said.

"Who's there?" Nicholas asked, still looking around while standing up.

"Who said that?" he asked, looking down at the glowing book.

"You did say 'anything'?" asked the voice, which was coming from the book.

Nicholas, shocked and a bit horrified by the book speaking, slowly backed away only to fall into the trunk, which he hit his head on and was knocked out.

"Oh, gosh," Tenderheart said in a hushed tone, unable to help Nicholas due to being stuck under Mr. Fetuccini's makeup table, given the magician was still looking at himself via a mirror.


Meanwhile-Care-A-Lot, Somewhere Beyond Earth-Everyone's P.O.V.

The view shifts over to a heart-shaped building, where the doors randomly open. In it, Share Bear and Birthday Bear were standing near a machine that Grumpy Bear was fixing.

"With this Rainbow Rescue Beam, we can send a Care Bear anywhere in the whole world in a matter of seconds." Share Bear explained.

"Or bring them back again in case of an emergency." Birthday Bear added.

"We'll be able to help people share their feelings a lot quicker." Share Bear said.

"We've gotta get it working first, Share Bear. And then we still won't know what'll happen until we give it another test." Grumpy Bear said, sliding out from under the Rainbow Rescue Beam controls for a moment before going back under to tighten something.

"How come I'm always the one fixing things around here?" He asked, grumbling a bit.

"Because you never complain, Grumpy Bear." Share Bear giggled.

"Aha! I think I know why the first test didn't work." Grumpy Bear said, finding something in the Rainbow Rescue Beam controls.

"There. This little star got itself stuck in the gears." Grumpy explained, holding said star.

"Now that's what I call star stuck, Grumpy Bear." Share Bear joked as Grumpy Bear let the star float away.

"Has anyone seen Baby Hugs and Baby Tugs? I can't find them anywhere." Grams Bear asked, walking down the rainbow ramp.

"We'll help you look for them, Grams Bear," Birthday Bear said as Share Bear nod in agreement.

"We can test the Rainbow Rescue Beam later." He said, as he and Share Bear went off in one direction to find Hugs and Tugs.

"That Baby Tugs is probably just getting into mischief somewhere." Grumpy claimed, dusting himself off as he went with Grams Bear went in a different direction to search for Hugs and Tugs.

However, if they were to have stayed in the room, they would have seen Hugs and Tugs sliding down the rainbow ramp, giggling. They then ran up to the controls of the Rainbow Rescue Beam.

"What's this thing, Tugs?" asked Hugs.

"It's not a thing, Hugs. It's, uh, a thing-a-ma-dooey." Tugs said, trying to be smart and failing. However, Hugs bought it, despite the laughing.

"You know everything, Tugs." She said, giving Tugs a hug. "What's it do?"

"Uh, it, um...Oh, it makes bubbles! Square bubbles!" Tugs claimed.

"Square bubbles? Golly, make square bubbles, Tugs!" Hugs said.

"Any...special color?" Tugs asked nervously, pushing random buttons.

Nothing happened except for a alarm sounding and static on the screen.

"No square bubbles, Tugs. Not even round ones. You broke the thing." Hugs said, as a crystal was glowing brightly.

"Baby Hugs, Baby Tugs, what have you done?" Grumpy Bear asked as he and Grams Bear walked up to the two. Grumpy began to see what buttons might've been pressed.

"It's obvious, Grumpy Bear, they got the Rainbow Rescue Beam working." Birthday Bear said as he and Share Bear walked back into the room.

"But we still don't know if it'll transport anyone." Grumpy countered as three more Care Bears ran into the room.

"Look!" Share Bear pointed at the platform, where a rainbow hit the crystal. The crystal releases the rainbow on the platform, revealing Friend Bear, Secret Bear...and five human children: three male and two female.

The kids looked around, confused about their surroundings, while the Care Bears, except for Friend Bear and Secret Bear, looked surprised at the five kids.

"Oh, my stars, you brought visitors. What are they doing here?" Cheer Bear asked Friend Bear and Secret Bear.

"We didn't bring them. They just...came along. Someone brought us here," Friend Bear said.

"I knew it! Baby Bear mischief." Grumpy Bear said, frowning at Hugs and Tugs.

What are we gonna do about the children?" asked Bedtime Bear.

"I don't know. This has never happened before." Share Bear said.

"Perhaps we could let them stay," one of the Care Bears said.

"Hey! Could we say something?" Jason asked, causing all the Care Bears to stop talking and look at the kids.

"Where are we?" Jason asked.

"Oh, we're terribly sorry. Bears?" Funshine Bear asked as the Care Bears got into position to introduce themselves.

"We're the Care Bears!" The Care Bears said.

Kim and Jason looked at each other before turning their attentions back to the Care Bears. "...more friends?" They asked

Aaron laughed a bit. "Sabreeny, I think I like Kim and Jason. The have all the right reactions," Aaron said.

"Yeah, they do." Sabrina said with a small smile.

"Welcome to Care-A-Lot!" Funshine Bear said.

"Come on, we'll give you a tour," Friend Bear said, as Secret Bear tugged on Jason's arm.

"Okay. But we're not gonna like it," Jason said as he grabbed Kim's arm, pulling her along with him.

"Glad you have friends who can help you with your hopes and dreams. Especially since Kim and Jason won't hurt you as badly as I did," Aaron said, still keeping his face straight.

Sabrina knew what Aaron was meaning, and she didn't like it. Not because he was supportive of her having more than one friend, but because he was using what Friend Bear said back at Central Park.

And Sabrina knew, mainly because she knows Aaron better than anyone did, even Aaron himself, that those words had hurt Aaron more than anything else, despite Aaron's straight face suggested otherwise.

"Aaron-" Sabrina began, only for Harvey, who had listened in on the two of them, to walk up to them.

"So, Aaron, what did you do exactly to get on Sabrina's bad side? Chloe didn't tell me anything besides you just did something to get on Sabrina's bad side," Harvey said with false sympathy, yet his eyes betrayed the smallest hints of excitement.

Before Aaron or Sabrina could do anything in response, Harvey changed his mind. "Better yet, I don't need to know. How about we take that tour?"

And before either one of them could protest, Harvey grabbed their arms, pulling them to where Kim, Jason, Friend Bear and Secret Bear were, the latter wearing a blue tuxedo and top hat and holding a blue cane.

"I know you're thinking that nobody cares"

Secret Bear used the cane to pull Jason, Kim, Harvey, Sabrina and Aaron along while Friend Bear walked behind them.

"You've got some feelings you don't wanna share"

The five kids and two Care Bears walked towards the big, heart-shaped door as the other Care Bears gave them a bow.

"But if your troubles stay all stuck inside

"They're gonna grow till they're too big to hide"

Secret Bear pushed the top top down on her head, which then flew up into the air, signaling bottled up emotions.

"I know you're trying to steer so clear of friends"

Secret Bear kicked the top hat on Jason's head, causing Kim to laugh. Jason soon joined in as he took off the hat and placed it back on Secret Bear's head.

"You've had a few that left you in the end

"I gotta tell you it ain't always so

"Somebody loves you who ain't gonna go"

Secret Bear and Friend Bear hugged Kim and Jason as the other Care Bears nod. Harvey's face showed pure joy while Aaron and Sabrina were one of embarrassment.

"So follow me and let me take you where

"If you think nobody cares"

Secret Bear attempted to open the door with the cane, but it doesn't budge. So she tried to do so with her hands, er, paws, but it still doesn't budge.

"Nobody cares" The other Care Bears sang, helping Secret Bear open the door.

"Nobody cares like a bear"

With the door open, Friend Bear, Kim, Jason and Harvey ran outside and opened the other door as Aaron and Sabrina walked, interested in their shoes.

"You'll need a friend to get a big job done" Friend Bear sang.

"I guess sometimes two heads are better than one" Kim sang, hugging Friend Bear.

"You'll need a friend to let your feelings free" Friend Bear sang as she, Kim, Jason, Secret Bear, Harvey, Sabrina and Aaron went down the rainbow slide.

"Sure could use someone to talk to me" Kim sang just as Jason, Sabrina, Aaron and Harvey landed next to her and Friend Bear.

"So make a friend and let me take you where

"When you think nobody cares"

Secret Bear flew past the six and landed headfirst in the clouds.

"Nobody cares" The other Care Bears sang, sliding down the rainbow slide in a single-file line.

"Nobody cares like a bear"

Kim, Jason, Harvey, and the Care Bears pulled at Secret Bear's tuxedo, pulling her out. The clouds left on Secret Bear's face made her look like Santa Claus for a moment before she shook her face, shaking off the clouds.

"So don't go sticking by your own sweet self"

Share Bear handed Kim and Jason a present, which they opened. A heart-shaped balloon flew out, which Secret Bear grabbed onto, flying away.

"You gotta take a chance on someone else"

Grumpy Bear ran onto a rainbow, grabbing a star and throwing it, popping the balloon.

"That's what it's all about, just being friends"

Birthday Bear and Friend Bear put a cake down, allowing Secret Bear and Grumpy Bear to land in it safely.

"And take a chance on loving again"

Grumpy briefly gave Secret Bear a frown before smiling, licking the frosting off his face. Kim and Jason then took a fingerful of frosting off the cake and had a taste.

"And follow me and let me take you where"

The three Care Bears, Kim and Jason walked as two Care Bears threw confetti at them. Harvey ran to catch up as Sabrina gave Aaron a concerned look, which he didn't notice due to looking at the skies.

"When you think nobody cares

"Nobody cares" The Care Bears sang as they blew heart-shaped bubbles at Kim, Jason, Harvey, Grumpy Bear, Friend Bear and Secret Bear.

"Nobody cares like a bear

"When you think nobody cares

"Nobody cares" Friend Bear, Grumpy Bear, Secret Bear, Kim, Jason and Harvey sang as bubbles were around them.

"Nobody cares like a bear" And with that, the song was over.

"Was it me or did that song sound awful?" Sabrina asked Aaron, who wasn't really paying attention.

"...Huh? Oh yeah, whatever you say, Sabreeny," Aaron said, not really knowing what she said.

Sabrina sighed, wondering how exactly on Earth did Salem managed to trick her into staying more mad at Aaron.


Meanwhile, back on Earth-Random circus-Nicholas and Tenderheart's P.O.V.

Mr. Fetuccini hummed to himself, his hairs were in curlers as he was still preparing for his magic show, not even bothering to see what's keeping Nicolas in the back room.

However, Tenderheart turned his attention back towards the hole in the wall, seeing into the backroom.

"Nicholas? Nicholas?" The book asked, as Nicholas woke up and looked at the glowing book.

"W-Who are you?" Nicholas asked, never having experience with talking, glowing books before. "How do you know my name?"

"I am a spirit, Nicholas. Your friend. I know many things," said The Spirit in the book, causing Nicolas to gasp. "Almost everything."

"Everything?" Nicholas asked, getting himself out of the trunk.

"I know how you can earn more friends." The Spirit said, getting Nicholas's attention.

"Really? How?" Nicholas asked, wanting more friends.

"With magic." The Spirit said.

"Magic?" Nicholas asked, a bit confused.

"Oh, not his magic tricks. I mean real magic. Magic that can make your fondest wish come true." The Spirit said, as red magic came out from the book, drifting up to the ceiling as Nicholas gave a dazed smile before shaking his head, clearing his thoughts.

"Y-You mean, you could use magic to get people to like me?" Nicholas asked, curious and interested in The Spirit's words.

"No. But you could. All you have to do is undo this lock," The Spirit said, as a key magically appeared in the keyhole of the book.

Nicholas walked over to the book, thinking about the types of friends he'll make.

"No, don't!" Tenderheart warned in a hushed tone, only for it to fall on deaf ears as Nicholas turned the key, unlocking the book.

The book flipped open with a blast of green magic, sending Nicholas backwards to the opposite wall with the key.

Mr. Fetuccini heard the noise. "Hey, what are you doing in there?!" He demanded.

"I gotta stop this," Tenderheart said to himself, thinking of a way to get into the room without being seen by Mr. Fetuccini.

Nicholas looked up at the book, where some of the magic met up in the center of two pages, forming a yellow, bald female face. The face's eyes opened, looking around with a smug expression.

"Nicholas! Nicky? H-Hey, are you okay in there?" Mr. Fetuccini asked, starting to worry about the boy.

Nicholas walked up to the face in the book.

"Read this," The Spirit said, using her eyes to indicate a section of the page.

"Ga zor!" Nicholas recited.

Just as Mr. Fetuccini was about to walk in the room, the door slammed in his face and for extra measure, locked itself.

"Wow. Did I do that?" Nicholas asked, amazed.

"You can do a lot more." The Spirit said.

"Hey, Nicky, open up! The door's stuck!" Mr. Fetuccini said, banging on the door.

"Read. Read!" The Spirit said calmly.

"Iz ka bibble," Nicholas recited.

"Hey, Nicho...las..." Mr. Fetuccini's voice stopped suddenly.

"Go ahead. Open it," The Spirit told Nicholas.

Nicholas cautiously walked towards the door, fearing what he would see on the other side if the spell backfired, and opened it. Mr. Fetuccini was on the other side, standing up yet asleep, given the way he was snoring.

"Hey, it worked!" Nicholas said, proud that he managed to do two spells. "Your spell worked!"

"Well done, Nicholas! He'll be in a deep sleep only long enough for you to take over his magic show," The Spirit said.

"B-But I-I-I couldn't," Nicholas said, surprised by what The Spirit wants him to do.

"Yes, you can. You must. This is your chance to show that you are a greater magician than he. They love him for his magic. They'll love you for yours," The Spirit said, using magic to make golden hands to grab Nicholas by the face and pull him closer. "I'll help you."

"Nicholas, stop! This isn't the way to make friends." Tenderheart said.

"Who are you?" Nicholas asked, confused about the Care Bear.

"I'm Tenderheart, a Care Bear. Your friend," Tenderheart said, walking up to Nicholas.

"Friend? Where was he when you needed him?"The Spirit asked.

"What matters is I'm here now, when Nicholas needs me the most." Tenderheart said firmly to The Spirit, jumping onto the table before giving Nicholas a warm smile.

Wow, I really didn't think I was gonna see this today: a talking bear speaking with an evil, yet friendly, face in a book. Thank God it's at least Wednesday. Nicholas said in his head.

The Spirit growled before using magic to send Tenderheart flying into a cage on top of a shelf, locking it behind him. She then laugh.

"See, Nicholas? Magic can do anything you want it to." The Spirit said.

"Hey, neat!" Nicholas said.

"Magic isn't everything, Nicholas. Your feelings can help you find the true answer," Tenderheart advised.

"Don't listen to him! There are dozens of children out there, waiting to see your magic," The Spirit said.

"They'll love me just like they love the Great Fetuccini!" Nicholas said, putting on a top hat and cape.

"I know all of his tricks." Nicholas said, picking up The Spirit.

"I'm not doing anything wrong," Nicholas added, though he's not sure if he's saying that to Tenderheart or to himself as he left the trailer.

"He won't succeed. The Spirit doesn't care about him." Tenderheart said before using the Care Bear Stare to open the cage.

"But I do!" Tenderheart said, dropping down onto the ground. Grabbing the key, he ran off after Nicholas and The Spirit.

Meanwhile, at the circus tent for The Great Fetuccini, kids were sitting on benches, eating popcorn as Nicholas was onstage with The Spirit. For some reason, Hilda was amongst the kids.

"And now The Amazing Nicholas will pull a dove out of his hat!" Nicholas said, getting everyone's attention as he took off the hat.

He wriggled his fingers, causing everyone to go 'Ooh!'. However, Nicholas didn't heard The Spirit laugh as she used her magic to summon water that sprayed out of the hat and into Nicholas's face, causing everyone to laugh.

"Your magic sucks and you should feel bad!" The Nostalgia Critic shouted.

Tenderheart arrived to see Nicholas slipped on some of the water, falling flat on his rear end, making everyone laugh even harder.

"Stop it!" Nicholas demanded, but it landed on deaf ears.

"I knew this was gonna happen," Tenderheart said, knowing The Spirit had caused Nicholas's embarrassment.

"Make them stop laughing. Make them stop!" Nicholas pleaded to The Spirit.

"Only you can do that. Here!" said The Spirit, flipping through the pages and landing on a specific one. "Teach them a lesson."

"A-A lesson?" Nicholas asked, unsure at first.

"Come on! Make us laugh." A random boy taunted as everyone laughed harder.

"One they'll never forget." The Spirit persisted.

Nicholas, not realizing he is being emotionally and mentally manipulated by The Spirit, turned towards her and started reciting the spell.

"Zimma zot. Ra di tut," Nicholas began.

"Nicholas, no!" Tenderheart shouted, running towards the stage.

"Coz-orkney!" Nicholas finished reciting the spell as red light filled the tent and lightning struck.

The kids, who were laughing just a few seconds beforehand, were now glaring at each, calling names, beating each other up and generally being jerks to one another. "Oh no, they've become the Youtube comment section!" The Nostalgia Critic exclaimed.

"Now they know how you felt all your life, without a friend in the world. Now they feel nothing!" The Spirit said.

"Nicholas, what have you done?" Tenderheart asked.

"Only what they did to me! They deserved it." Nicholas said, hiding behind The Spirit.

"No, Nicholas. Please, listen," Tenderheart said, getting up on the stage.


Hilda's P.O.V.

Hilda, somehow unaffected, called Zelda.

"Zelda, some kid used magic to turn everyone into YouTube commenters!" Hilda exclaimed.

"...Hilda, whatever attempt at humor you're doing is not funny." Zelda said in an annoyed tone. Despite the two agreed on Mars to put their feud behind, it doesn't mean they instantly became true sisters again.

"Zelda, I'm serious!" Hilda protested.

"Look, we'll discuss this later. Right now, me, Jake and Mary are trying to find Aaron and Sabrina. Sabrina, Kim and Jason hadn't come back in hours and Aaron hadn't called Jake and Mary at all. See ya later." Zelda said, hanging up.

Hilda was slightly miffed that Zelda didn't believe her until she looked closely at the stage. Mainly the book that was behind that Nicolas kid.

When she saw the face in the book, her blood went cold. Ice cold.

"Oh gods, no." Hilda said, remembering the last time she had seen that book.

It was the summer before she went to Witch Academy but after Zelda did. The two went out on a tense family trip with their parents and one day, Hilda decided to drag Zelda into an abandoned castle.

Long story short, it turns out that the castle wasn't abandoned and belonged to a powerful sorceress. Hilda forgot the sorceress's name since it happened, like, hundreds of years ago.

It took Hilda and Zelda a week to finally defeat the sorceress and trapped her spirit in a book. It was Zelda's idea to lock up the book and hide it away so that no one would find it.

Hilda isn't sure how Nicholas found the book or how he even managed to unlock it, given Zelda had the only key in her possession, but she needs to warn Zelda right now!

Before she could do anything, though, The Spirit turned its attention towards her as it froze time for everyone except for the two.

"Ah, yes, I remember you. Hildegarde Spellman. Oh, how I wish I could personally get my revenge on you and your sister for doing this to me!" The Spirit snarled, before smirking a bit.

"However, since your sister has no idea I'm here, and given your appearance, I say both of your magic have been cut in half." The Spirit said.

"And why would I say anything to you?" Hilda asked.

"Because you won't be able to free yourself from being frozen in time. Plus, I think there is a way to get revenge on both of you. Tell me, how is that lovely niece of yours?" The Spirit asked, making Hilda's blood freeze.

"L-Leave Sabrina out of this! It's Zelda and me you want!" Hilda shouted, not even questioning about how The Spirit knew about Sabrina. After all, The Spirit had proven she can read minds and use whatever she saw against people.

"Yes. And the best way to break both of you is by harming that niece of yours. I'll see you once I get through with her," The Spirit said, and before Hilda could do anything, she was frozen in time.


Nicholas and Tenderheart's P.O.V.

Time returned back to normal, though no one seemed to care about the frozen woman.

"Quick, Nicholas!" The Spirit said, flipping the pages to a specific one.

"Nyx bits sticks!" Nicholas recited the spell, which covered him and The Spirit in a green tornado.

"This is only the beginning." The Spirit said calmly as she and Nicholas left.

"This is a job for all the Care Bears," Tenderheart said as he turned to see the kids beating each other up and Hilda frozen in time.


Meanwhile, at Care-A-Lot-Everyone's P.O.V.

Kim, Jason and Harvey were playing with the Care Bears as Aaron and Sabrina sat nearby, watching.

"So, Aaron, what's on your mind?" Sabrina asked, trying to get Aaron to open up about any recent problems.

"Huh? Oh, nothing," Aaron said, not really paying attention, due to his mind replaying what Friend Bear said about how a friend knows each other's hopes and dreams.

"Aaron, are you su-" Sabrina began.

"Jason! Kim! Wait'll you hear this!" Wish Bear said, only to fall down a rainbow slide and get her head stuck in the clouds.

Everyone except for Aaron, Sabrina and obviously Wish Bear, laugh at this.

It did provide the distraction Aaron needed, though, to avoid talking about his thoughts. He already felt like Sabrina made up her mind that she doesn't want to be friends with him anymore and he doesn't blame her.

However, Sabrina still wants to know what's on Aaron's mind, since she knows those words had hurt Aaron. It's not exactly his fault he doesn't know her hopes and dreams. They just never really talked about it before.

"Look, Secret Bear, Wish Bear's got her head stuck in the clouds again." Friend Bear said in between laughter.

Though she quickly got over the laughing fits as she and Secret Bear pulled Wish Bear out of the clouds.

Wish Bear started searching around for something, though. "Now where's my Star-oscope?" She asked.

Grumpy Bear popped out of the clouds, with the Star-oscope on his head. "Looking for this?" Grumpy asked.

"Oh, sorry, Grumpy Bear, but I'm in a hurry. I've got great news for Kim and Jason. I spotted..." Wish Bear began.

"Look!" Grumpy interrupted, pointing at something above them, getting everyone's attention.

Tenderheart was on his Rainbow Roller, which is out of control.

"Tenderheart's Rainbow Roller is out of control!" Friend Bear said.

"Oh no!" exclaimed Wish Bear.

The Rainbow Roller broke apart, sending Tenderheart into a free fall. He used the Care Bear Stare to make an inflatable heart balloon which he grabbed onto, slowing his descent.

"Quick, run for cover! It's coming! Brace yourselves!" Tenderheart said.

"What's coming?" Friend Bear asked.

Suddenly, everything started shaking as rainbows cracked and fell apart, parts of the buildings fell and clouds were splitting apart.

"Everyone okay? Jason? Sabrina? Cheer Bear?" Kim asked as Secret Bear and Cheer Bear poked their heads out of the clouds.

"I think so." Cheer Bear said.

"I'm okay." Jason said.

"Same," Sabrina said, pulling herself out of the clouds.

"Too bad we can't say the same for Care-A-Lot. Look!" Grumpy said, pointing at the damage.

"Oh, no! Everything's broken! Faded! Ruined!" Friend Bear lamented.

"Tenderheart! Tenderheart! The Caring Meter dropped two whole points!" Funshine Bear said, pointing at the Caring Meter while the Care Bears gasped.

"We're reaching Jersey levels! Jersey levels!" Sabrina said.

"When did you start watching Nostalgia Critic reviews?" Aaron asked.

"The past couple of nights. Hilda thinks they were be fun to watch," Sabrina said.

"She's not wrong." Aaron said with a shrug.

"Yeah, I guess," Sabrina said.

"...So, are you gonna tell me what's on y-" Sabrina began.

"Nothing." Aaron said, a bit too quickly.

Before Sabrina could protest anymore, she was interrupted by Love-A-Lot Bear.

"A lot of people must have suddenly just stopped caring." She said.

"What could have caused that?" Kim asked.

"The same thing that caused the cloud quake! A boy named Nicholas is being taken over by an evil spirit." Tenderheart explained.

"An evil spirit?" Jason asked.

"I never met this evil spirit, but I don't like the mention of her. I think we should just skip over her," Sabrina said, only for the winds to pick up maliciously as a bunch of, fortunately, soft stuff hit her while everyone looked terrified by the turn of events.

"Okay, okay! I love your moments, just stop!" Sabrina exclaimed, as the winds just stopped.

"I haven't seen anything this in touch in evil since those Twilight books," Sabrina muttered.

"Yeah, know that feeling," Aaron said.

"So what happens when the Caring Meter drops to zero?" Kim asked.

"No one in the world will care anymore." Love-A-Lot Bear explained, just as the Caring Meter dropped by another point, causing Kim, Jason, Harvey and the Care Bears to gasp.

Secret Bear tugged on Kim's arm, indicating she bent down so the former could whisper in her ear.

"And the end of Care-A-Lot?!" Kim asked, shocked and horrified by what she was told.

"I think that's exactly what The Spirit has in mind." Tenderheart said.

"Oh, my gosh, I forgot. I sighted parents for you at the orphanage. They want to adopt you both." Wish Bear told Kim and Jason.

"Congratulations, Kim and Jason," Cheer Bear said.

"Come on, Grumpy, let's warm up the Rainbow Rescue Beam. Kim and Jason have to get back in a hurry. And so do Sabrina, Harvey and Aaron." Tenderheart told Grumpy as the two headed over to the Rainbow Rescue Beam.

"Hear that, Jason? Parents," Kim said, surprised by the news.

"Yeah. I thought we'd never have parents," Jason said.

"Yeah." Kim said.

"B-But Kim," Jason said, not wanting to leave the Care Bears in the time of crisis.

"I know, Jason. Our friends, they're in trouble." Kim said.

"Kim, Jason, we're ready!" Tenderheart said, as everyone else was in the building, including Aaron, Sabrina and Harvey. Harvey looked disappointed to be leaving Care-A-Lot.

"All set?" Tenderheart asked the five kids.

"No. We're not going back to the orphanage. We're going to help you!" Kim said.

"Yeah!" Jason said in agreement.

"But you have parents waiting," Tenderheart tries to convince the two.

"We made up our mind." Jason said.

"You showed us how to share our feelings. And that's just what we're going to do." Kim said.

"Yeah? Really?" Tenderheart asked.

"Yeah!" Kim and Jason said.

"Well, then I guess I'm going with. Mainly because Kim and Jason are my friends and I don't want anything bad happening to them," Sabrina said.

"I'll come too," Aaron said, which caused Sabrina to look at him in shock and confusion. Normally, Aaron tries to avoid things like this.

"I mean, er, because I can't just leave with the knowledge that I left Sabrina, Kim and Jason to do something that may be dangerous." Aaron said, yet Sabrina gets the feeling that's not the true reason.

However, Harvey decided he wanted to add his two cents. "Hold it! If you're going, then so am I!" Harvey said to Aaron.

"Why?" Aaron asked, his tone suggesting suspicion.

"Um, well, you see...Uh, because I wouldn't be a good friend if I stay behind, would I?" Harvey asked nervously.

Before Sabrina or Aaron could point out the obvious red flag with that one, all the Care Bears cheered about the fact that the five children wanted to help them.

"All right, our first job is to go to Earth and find Nicholas. Friend Bear, Secret Bear, you head down with Kim, Jason, Sabrina, Aaron and Harvey. We'll follow." Tenderheart Bear told Friend Bear and Secret Bear, who went on the podium for the Rainbow Rescue Beam.

The five kids walked down the rainbow ramp as Tenderheart pulled out a key.

"Hold onto this for me, Jason. Don't lose it. It's very important." Tenderheart cautioned.

"Don't worry, Tenderheart. I won't lose it for nothing." Jason assured.

"If it's important, then why don't you hold onto it? No offense to Jason, of course," Aaron said.

"None taken." Jason said, putting the key in his overall pockets.

"Well, because." Tenderheart said.

"I hate that answer. That's what wise old mentors and adults say when they want to cryptic and not give any answers," Aaron said, dropping the subject.

Just as the five kids were about to go on the podium, Good Luck Bear tugged on Sabrina's arm, indicating a corner of the room.

Rolling her eyes, Sabrina followed the green-colored Care Bear to the corner.

"I just want to say, be careful around him," Good Luck Bear said, pointing at Aaron.

"Be careful around Aaron? First, a bit late with that warning. And two, what do you mean?" Sabrina asked.

"While he is still pure, he has a bit of darkness in his heart. If he doesn't learn to control his negative emotions, if he allows all negative feelings and thoughts to control him, he'll end up with a darker future." Good Luck Bear said.

"...And I'm supposed to believe a talking bear who tells people that they can control their own luck. Then again, anyone would take giant talking bears seriously." Sabrina said sarcastically, before thinking of a question.

"And me? What about my mind? Or is fixing my mind the part of my luck that can be controlled?" Sabrina asked.

"...Probably. What happens from this point onwards is up to you and we can't do anything to help or stop you and Aaron." Good Luck Bear said.

"So, in short, you won't help me recover from some of the shit I suffered, but you'll just tell me that Aaron will be evil, which is something that won't happen. Thanks for the words of comfort!" Sabrina said with a false smile, storming to the podium.

"You dicks," she muttered to herself, hating how terrible her life is becoming, hating how she and Aaron isn't speaking, hating how many times she is reminded that Aaron may end up becoming evil and hating how these Care Bears won't help her with her feelings. Not in that particular order.

"You know, he has a point. You already know Aaron will become evil." A part of Sabrina argued.

"Yeah, but would you rather listen to talking, multi-colored bears? And since you're a part of me, you're admitting that you want to listen to them," Sabrina grumbled to that part of herself.

"...I have no rebuttal for this one. However, be thankful that because I'm a part of you, I admit defeat in this case. But you'll see reason when Aaron becomes evil." The part said before fading back into Sabrina's thoughts as Sabrina stood next to Aaron.

The Rainbow Rescue Beam turned on, turning the five kids and two Care Bears into beams of light that went into the crystal, turning into a rainbow that went towards the sky.

"All right, Champ Bear and Funshine, you're next!" Tenderheart said, only for another Cloud Quake to happen, messing with the Rainbow Rescue Beam as the rainbow split in three directions.

"Oh, no! The Rainbow Rescue Beam's jammed! They never made it to Earth." Grumpy explained.

"What do you mean? Where are they?" Tenderheart asked.

"They're lost. Somewhere between here and Earth." Grumpy said, not sure where the kids, Friend Bear and Secret Bear ended up.

"What do we do now?" Wish Bear asked.

"We can't follow them," Grumpy said.

"And the evil spirit said this was just the beginning." Tenderheart said, as the Care Bears heard The Spirit laugh.


Nicholas and The Spirit's P.O.V.-Random Circus, Manhattan, New York

Nicholas put The Spirit on a stand in front of a cauldron, laughing about his success.

"Everyone in this town has friends. But soon they'll all be just like me. Friendless!" Nicholas said with bitter resentment about the lack of friends he has.

The Spirit smirked before using parts of her magic to mess with Care-A-Lot...and sending a blast of magic toward the place where the niece of Hilda and Zelda was, which she made sure said niece was by her lonesome.

Meanwhile-Care-A-Lot-Care Bears' P.O.V.

The Care Bears, wearing yellow raincoats and hats, were trying to fix the rainbows and make sure the stars were safe.

Grumpy, however, was trying to fix the Rainbow Rescue Beam so that he could figure out the locations of Jason, Kim, Harvey, Sabrina, Aaron, Friend Bear and Secret Bear. But the console was showing statics, no matter what he did.

However, it was decided that they would follow the river in the clouds, the very rivers they have never followed before.

A Cloud Clipper rose out of the waters, taking most of the Care Bears except for Good Luck Bear, Grumpy Bear, Grams Bear, Hugs and Tugs.

Grumpy and Good Luck were staying behind to fix the Rainbow Rescue Beam. And Grams is in charge of Hugs and Tugs, who were too young to go with the other Care Bears.

"Good luck, Care Bears!" Good Luck Bear said.

"We're counting on you!" Grams Bear added.

The Cloud Clipper went down the river as the Care Bears onboard had no clue whether they would find the missing kids, Friend Bear and Secret Bear, or they would end up nowhere.


Sabrina and Aaron's P.O.V.-?

Sabrina held her breath, though for how long she was unsure. The rainbow had, for some odd reason, dropped her off in the middle of space.

Normally, she would be able to breathe in space...if she had the time to use the spell to do so, which she can't due to space having zero oxygen. She had only managed to do a nonverbal spell, the only nonverbal spell she knows, to allow herself a tiny amount of oxygen, hence her holding her breath.

She looked around but there were no planets or comets in sight. Heck, for some reason, she couldn't even see the Sun!

However, her limited oxygen was running out.

Guess I'm gonna die out here, with no one knowing or mourning. I'm sorry, Mom. I guess I can't spread your lessons. Sabrina lamented in her thoughts.

However, just as she was about to surrender to the cold harsh vacuum of space, another rainbow made its way towards her, revealing Aaron.

Adding more to her shock, Aaron made a circle gesture in front of Sabrina's face and a magic circle appear. This is what caused Sabrina to finally exhale, only to be surprised she was still breathing.

"A-Aaron, what did you do?" Sabrina asked.

"I noticed the rainbows separated and forced the one I was in to locate you. I also had put a breathable magic bubble around your head," Aaron said.

"Aaron..." Sabrina was touched by Aaron's actions, despite the tension between them brought on by Aaron's own actions and later Salem's.

However, Sabrina and Aaron saw a blast of magic hurtling itself towards Sabrina, intending to strike her. And given the speed, Sabrina knew that it would kill her, since the speed and force of it were major factors.

She closed her eyes, bracing for impact, only to feel herself get pushed out of the way. Shocked about the turns of events, she opened her eyes to see Aaron in the spot she was in before, his arms in front of him.

Just as Sabrina put two and two together, the magic went through Aaron's chest and out of his back, fizzling out once it went through Aaron.

Sabrina screamed in shock and horror, seeing the hole burned through Aaron's shirt and bandage, though the strange thing is Aaron himself had no hole in his chest.

Aaron painfully looked at Sabrina's eyes and Sabrina was even more horrified to see blood on the corners of Aaron's mouth.

"S-Sabreeny, I don't think I have much time left." Aaron said, wincing in pain.

Sabrina's heart felt like it's gonna break in two all over again. She was still reeling from her mom's death and now she could do nothing but watch Aaron slowly die. And given Aaron isn't trying to heal himself, that means the magic is much stronger than he is.

"I want to apologize. For being a terrible friend. For emotionally manipulating you. For never trying to figure out your hopes and dreams. And...and for crushing your hopes on your parents getting back together," Aaron said a bit sadly as Sabrina's eyes widened in realization.

She remembered when her father came to announce his engagement, Sabrina and Aaron sat on Sabrina's bed talking about how Sabrina's hopes on her parents getting back together were destroyed.

She even got mad at Aaron briefly, thinking he saw her mother's death but he put out the logic in her argument.

Now she finds out that those words not only affected Aaron, he believed them himself.

"Aaron, please, don't die," Sabrina pleaded.

Aaron looked at Sabrina. "Why are you caring about me? You have Kim and Jason as your friends. Trust me, Sabreeny, no one wants to be friends with this guy. Plus, this is my way of making it up to you, especially since I won't be able to throw you a apology/pity party like I planned."

Sabrina's eyes widened even more at that. So that was what he was shopping for! And she thought he had told her to bring Kim and Jason to Central Park so that he could just meet up with them. Sabrina wanted to kick herself for being way too harsh with Aaron and not being harsh enough with Salem.

"At least...you don't have to deal with me any...more..." Aaron said, before his eyes closed and his body was limp.

Sabrina began making a sound that can't be classified as screaming nor wailing as she floated to Aaron and started shaking him, eyes streaming with tears.

Screw what you did to me! I just want you alive! Sabrina wanted to scream out, but she was putting too much focus into trying to get Aaron to wake up, until she put her ear to his chest.

"...No, no, no, NOOOO!" Sabrina shrieked again, just as a rainbow surrounded her and Aaron, bringing them somewhere unknown.


The Spirit's P.O.V.-Random Circus, Manhattan, New York

"Damn it, I was intending for Sabrina, not her friend." The Spirit cursed, time was frozen for everyone except her.

Until, she smirked, realizing the outcome. "However, she is clearly broken about the death of her friend. Oh, this is the best thing to ever happen in my plans. Break her by killing all of her friends and when she's too broken, then I'll kill her. And soon, Hilda and Zelda will kneel before me!"

And with that, The Spirit laughed, unfreezing time.


Jake, Mary and Zelda's P.O.V.-Outside the Empire State Building

The three walked around, calling Sabrina, Kim, Jason and Aaron's names when Mary fell to her knees, getting a bad feeling.

"Mary, what's wrong?" Jake asked, getting the same feeling but hoping it was wrong.

"Jake, I get the feeling something bad happen to Aaron. I think...I think he's seriously harmed or worse," Mary said, sounding scared for the first times in a while.

"Mary, I know. But maybe the feeling is wrong. I mean, we're in Manhattan, New York. One of the safest, and normal, places in the world. Surely nothing could happen to Aaron." Jake said.

"Um, actually, that's where you're wrong. I heard the Greek Gods had moved Mount Olympus to the top of the Empire State Building," Zelda admitted.

"Well, then, we might have a few bones to pick with a god." Jake said, storming into the building.

"Why? What's wrong?" Zelda asked.

"Zelda...I think, though I hope I'm wrong with this." Mary said.

"What?" Zelda asked, a bit concerned.

"I think Aaron might be dead or dying," Mary said as Zelda's face went white.

"Which might mean...Sabrina, wherever you are. Please, stay safe with your friends," Zelda said softly as she and Mary followed after Jake.


To be continued in The Care Bears Movie Part 2

(A/N: And that's the end of this chapter. To answer one question, yes, Aaron Dimension is dead. But he won't stay dead for long. [I mean, he appears in the Friends Forever story, which is one year after the events of this.] And yes, I did include some stuff to make this a bit interesting, like The Spirit wants revenge against Hilda and Zelda by targeting Sabrina and anyone who is her friends. Also, you may not like that I have the Care Bears not help Sabrina or Aaron, but this isn't the main timeline, this is a different timeline. If you don't like, then don't read. Anyways, stay tuned for Part 2 where everything gets resolved.)
