Forward: I had a request to do a Care Bear story with a Roger Rabbit vibe to it. To do so I added a bit of a Looney Toons vibe too. Here is the result:
Across the known Universe there are Beings whose Scientists ponder about things. That leads to new ideas, theories and discoveries. Sometimes Alien cultures benefit from this. Sometimes it can lead to great suffering. Such as the use of Atomic Bombs on two cities on a planet called Earth. Earth and the Milky Way Galaxy lie in the Fourth Dimension. Scientists and Physicists on Earth admit they don't really know just how many Dimensions there may be. Or just what type of life forms may exist within them.
A select few on Planet Earth know about some of those life forms. Having met The Grays, Ursans and/or Cylons. A very select few Humans have experienced crossing Dimensions. How sad most people will never know the thrill of rubbing noses with small cute Bear like Beings. Or hearing what a Cylon really sounds like. Most of all the odd feeling of a Dimensional Shift.
On a late Autumn day in Care a Lot six Care Bears had finished going through some of the rubble of what had once been a levitating home. That of Grizzle Bear. Years had now passed since the day Grizzle's world came crashing down. Unfortunately, only a few useful objects were uncovered.
Grumpy and Share were there along with their Cub, Sulky. Lovalot and Grizzle were there with Miracle Joy. They were on a hush hush mission requested by The Caring Council. A strange glowing cloud like object was drifting in the upper reaches of Care a Lot's atmosphere. The group of Bears returned home. Little could they know just what an unusual adventure they would soon be on.
Grumpy liked to tinker with his own inventions. As had Grizzle before becoming partially disabled. Young True Heart thought perhaps the inventive duo could find out just how to deal with the unknown object. The stage was set for a Care Bear adventure to infinity and beyond. A modified Cloud Car was ready to take them there.
The six Bears set out for what they thought would be a short flight. A simple photo reconnaissance. Along with some scientific instruments similar to Geiger Counters and Magnetometers. Co-inventions of Grizzle and Grumpy. Instead of getting a Cub sitter Share had brought Sulky along. For Sulky was not fond of Cub sitters. After all the Mission only called for a short flight.
Luckily the ever practical Share had insisted on loading up some supplies. One never knew when something may go awry. Among the supplies was food, bottled water, and some toiletries. Also what Humans call Pull Ups for Sulky.
Share had all but given up on getting Sulky fully toilet trained. The recalcitrant Cub would rather Pee wherever convenient for her. Potty chairs had a short life span around her. Sulky would rather claw up a Potty chair up than to use one. The small snap seat covered toilet in the Cloud Car was hard enough for an adult to use. Share could picture in her mind Sulky standing on the toilet seat and letting fly a stream of Pee. So, Pull Ups were needed for Sulky.
Lovalot had a similar problem. Grizzle's health problems made wearing Adult Bear Diapers an oft necessity. Especially when away from home. It was very hard for Grizzle to hold his urine when the urge to Pee hit. So Lovalot always kept a few handy in her tote bag. She also threw a boxful into the Cloud Car's storage compartment.
As the Cloud Car cruised by the mysterious cloud Grumpy activated the Detectors. Their readings went nearly off scale. The Cloud Car began to shudder a bit. The strange Cloud seemed to be expanding and engulfing them. Grumpy worriedly looked at the instrument panel. Then a strange thing happened. The occupants within the Cloud Car could actually see through its hull. It was translucent. Then everything seemed to go back to normal.
Meanwhile in a land similar to Care a Lot a devilish Rabbit a had just pranked another Rabbit. Babs Bunny liked to pull pranks on other Toons. Which is what the Beings in Acme Acres are called. Buster Bunny just shook his head in resignation. Nearby a Loon shook her head and rolled her eyes. Shirley the Loon just could not comprehend why Buster put up with Babs hijacks.
Suddenly a strange sound was heard overhead. The Toonsters looked upward only to see an unknown flying object. It descended into Elmer Fudd's vast garden. Which Buster had hoped to raid for a few carrots. The Toons stared in awe as the object sat emitting a hot metallic smell. There were markings which slightly resembled the Toons alphabet.
Just as Shirley was about to step closer a door slid open on the unknown craft. "Oh my Gawd" stammered Shirley loudly. The Toon's eyes soon beheld an eerie sight. Six Beings wearing what looked like leather space suits had stepped out. The second shortest one looked down at an object in its left glove. As it did so the Toons heard a male voice. "We come in peace. Hey, we can breathe this air!"
The gawking Toonsters saw the short Alien remove its helmet. It had a Bear like head with grizzled fur. The next Alien removed its helmet. "Hi! I am Miracle Joy! We are Care Bears from Care a Lot. Who and what are you?" One by one the other Bears were removing their helmets. The smallest one scowled a bit. Sulky needed to Pee but wanted to do so with no Pull Up on. She wanted out of her flight suit!
Babs finally recovered from the shock of it all. "We are Toonsters. Welcome to Acme Acres. A land we thought was like no other. I guess you are proof we were wrong about that!"
Miracle Joy giggled as she took off her flight suit. "You are wearing a dress" she said to Babs. Miracle Joy pointed at Buster. "He's wearing only a shirt. No pants. I like that. We Care Bears often go bare." Miracle Joy turned towards Lovalot. "Mom, can I go bare too?" Lovalot sighed as Grizzle laughed.
All the Bears had worn some thin under garments. They had done so for comfort. As the insides of their Suits could rub against their fur. Causing static electricity to shock them or frizzle their fur. "Go ahead and take off your Flight Suit" said Lovalot. Miracle Joy hastily removed her suit. Then began to remove her silky-smooth undergarment. In no time at all Miracle Joy was a bare Bear.
"Me go bare too howled" Sulky as she tried to remove her Suit. Share had no sooner got Sulky out of her suit when the youngster tore off her Pull Ups. Sulky giggled as she squatted a bit. Then let go with a stream of Pee. Share had to lift Sulky up by her armpits so the Cub would not be standing in a messy puddle. For quite a puddle of Pee and mud was rapidly forming. Sulky had really needed to Pee!
"What a cute Cub you are" said Babs to Sulky. Babs tapped Sulky's Butt. Babs was surprised by how rugged the small Bear's body felt. Also, the fact this Bear could sheath and un sheath its claws. Meanwhile Miracle Joy got close to Buster. She poked Buster in the tummy. Miracle Joy then felt his ears.
"You feel a bit squishy compared to us" said Miracle Joy. Grizzle then checked out Buster. Grizzle then leapt for joy.
"My theories of a multi-verse and another possible Dimension are correct! We Bears will have to be careful. Your bodies are soft compared to ours. You could possibly be like putty in our paws."
Babs giggled. Thinking of having such powers to prank a Toon like Buster. Sulky almost cracked a smile. She was imagining rolling Buster up into a big blue kick ball. Babs motioned to the Bears. "Where are our Acme Acres manners. Come follow me, everyone."
Babs took them all to her cave like Rabbit Burrow. However, unlike a cave there was lighting. It had heating and air conditioning if needed. It was large enough to easily accommodate them all. There were side passages to several other rooms. Including a bathroom. "Wow, nice digs," said Miracle Joy.
Babs showed every Bear the guest towels and washcloths. "I hope my toilet seat is compatible to Bear butts," laughed Babs. Luckily it was. Except for Sulky. Share had to hold her up to go poopy. Lovalot also had to help Grizzle to not slip Butt first into the toilet.
Babs then got everyone situated for a snack. She was a bit worried. Being a Rabbit she was mostly a Vegetarian. However, she soon learned these Bears ate most anything. Buster also felt a bit worried. What if these Bears ate Rabbits?
As they ate, Babs got some things ready. She was in the mood to prank Buster and Shirley. The Care Bears would be her most unusual audience ever! Perhaps they could contribute new ways for her to prank other Toons. So, Babs got out a Video to show the Bears.
"That's my cousin, Roger Rabbit. The girl is Jessica. As you can see Roger is easy to pull hilarious stunts on. We Toons have very malleable bodies. Our bodies can recover from such pranks. However, the recovery time varies greatly from Toon to Toon."
Sulky almost grinned and pointed at Buster. "Do him!" Babs grinned as the gullible Buster let Babs jab an air valve into his left Butt Cheek. Babs then grabbed a hand operated air pump.
"Watch this! This is my infamous 'Filibuster' gag. First used to break up a Congressional Session in a Human government setting. In the Fourth dimension. A filibuster is a long-winded speech." Babs slowly pumped the handle. Buster's body swelled a bit.
Babs pumped again. Immediately Buster's eye pupils went to mere pinpoints. As Babs pumped some more Buster's body swelled. His feet lifted off the floor. Babs pumped even harder. "Fill a Buster, ha ha! Always a great gag!"
Shirley prodded the Buster "balloon". "Gawd, he fell for it again!" Babs pumped a bit more then stood back admiring her efforts results. The bloated Buster looked as if he could float away if not attached to the pump's hose.
Sulky toddled over to Buster. She poked at him. "Him look like balloon!" Share looked a bit concerned.
"Be careful Sulky. He looks like he may pop! We wouldn't want to harm another creature," said Share. The other Bears took turns examining Buster. Grizzle most of all.
"What an amazing Dimension this is! My theories other Bears and Cousins thought eccentric were correct! This Rabbit s body is structured to be extremely resistant. My theory of some creatures having a super plasmic body has just been proven. I don't think we can harm him in a permanent manner." Babs was ecstatic. She wanted to help prove Grizzle right. Meanwhile Sulky kept reaching up to poke and prod at Buster. Babs tapped Sulky's shoulder. "Go ahead and see if you can pop the balloon Boy!"
Sulky unsheathed her hand claws. She aimed for one of the least furry areas on the Rabbit. Over Buster's left Butt Cheek. As Sulky's claw dented the skin of Buster's Butt Cheek everyone else held their breaths. There was a loud POP! Then a hissing noise as Buster's feet lifted off the ground a bit. His overstretched sweater went flying off. Slowly Buster deflated into a blue furry heap. Babs was giggling the whole time. "Him go POP" said the wide eyed Sulky.
Lovalot lifted the heap up. The air valve fell to the floor. "My, he is still a bit hefty. Is he really alright? Hey, I guess he is. His eyes are moving. How long before he will recover?"
Babs laughed. "He will slowly re-inflate naturally. We could speed up the process by using the air pump. But what fun is that?!" Babs and the adult Bears then sat talking. Sulky sat close to the blue furry heap that was Buster. Waiting to see what would happen up close. Slowly his body began to re-inflate. It started with his Bunny feet. Soon he was about one third recovered. His eyes went back to normal.
"Oh, him look like little Bunny now" giggled Sulky. Shirley grinned. "Yeah, a dumb and gullible little Bunny! For Babs he is a real Boy Toy." She was interrupted by a loud banging on the entrance door.
"Get out here you wascally Wabbit" yelled a male voice. "I just know you have something to do with my Turnips getting crushed!" Babs opened the door. Elmer Fudd came running in. He had gun in his hand. "I ought to zap you all with my stun gun" he yelled.
Without a word Grumpy grabbed the gun. Hmph, he mumbled as he mangled the gun. Elmer should have retreated. Instead, he made a step toward Miracle Joy. Never make a threatening move or step between a Bear and its Cub. Whether on Earth, Care a Lot, or in Acme Acres.
Lovalot instinctively gave Elmer a paw slap. Elmer groaned as his body went mushy. He slowly collapsed into heap. "Oops, I didn't mean to break him" said Lovalot. By now Buster had fully recovered.
Buster and Babs both used their Bunny feet to move the heap around a bit. "Thanks for temporarily shattering his insides" yelled Buster. "Too bad he will recover soon." Buster ran outside. It was a fortuitous time to grab some Carrots!
Babs used her feet to disdainfully move Elmer into her wheeled garbage bin. She latched the cover down. "Ha ha, the perfect place for him to stay until he recovers! I wish I had some smelly garbage to throw in with him."
Buster came back inside. He handed Babs a few carrots. "Wow Babs, you should have gone and got some for yourself. I got bagsful for myself." Babs looked at the few Carrots she had been handed by Buster.
Shirley laughed. "Gees Buster, how thoughtful" she said sarcastically. The Care Bears got a big kick from what they were witnessing. Suddenly a banging sound came from Bab's garbage bin. Babs unlatched and lifted the lid. Elmer jumped out and ran for the door. "I don't know what's worse" he yelled. "Wascally Wabbits or Alien Bears!"
Sulky giggled happily. She looked at Babs. "Him funny! Can you break someone else?" Babs grinned deviously. She certainly hoped so. Elmer was already far up the Lane. Babs wished another annoying Toon would show up. In minutes she got her wish.
Elmira had been trying to bat some Hardballs around. One smacked hard against Babs' front door. Babs opened the door to see what the Heck was going on. A ball came whizzing in. Breaking a vase.
Babs grabbed Elmira by the collar and dragged her inside. "Get in here you annoying pest!" Babs was hoping Elmira would do something to tick the Care Bears off. Babs imagined one of the Bears flattening Elmira. Then folding her up like a Paper Airplane.
As Babs held her Elmira tried to move towards the Care Bears. The Bears felt a bit threatened as Elmira yelled "ooh, little Bears. I want to hug you and squeeze you to pieces!"
Babs told the Bears of the many times Elmira had done something annoying. Also, her habit of roughly handling smaller creatures. "We have a Power we call a Care Bear Stare", said Share. "It usually pacifies most of the creatures we have encountered. We'll see what it does to a Toon like her."
Grumpy, Share, and Lovalot got ready. "Care Bear Stare" yelled Lovalot. Colorful beams of light shot from their Tummy Tags. As they engulfed Elmira her body puffed up like an over inflated Blowfish. Her clothing began to rip and rend. Then slowly falling away in pieces. Elmira looked like a flesh-colored balloon with swollen hands and feet sticking out of it.
"Humph, well that went wrong" said Grumpy. "I guess we can't use that Power on a Toon!" Babs was ecstatic, as was Buster. Meanwhile Elmira was drifting like a Tumbleweed a few feet above the floor. Babs ran over to her sewing basket. Then showed everyone a large stickpin. Babs loved puns. "Ha ha, I've always wanted to stick it to her" yelled Babs. Before anyone could stop her Babs jabbed the pin into what she hoped was Elmira's right Butt Cheek.
POP! HISS they all loudly heard. Elmira let out a sigh as her body began to deflate. As soon as she was a heap on the floor Babs picked her up. Babs playfully tossed the floppy Elmira up and down. Then she placed Elmira on the table.
"I wish there was some way to keep Elmira really tiny", said Babs. "If so, I would package her up like a naked Doll and give her to Dizzy Devil as a Dog Toy. Or is that a Devil Dog toy?" Then Babs did package Elmira up. After sprinkling her with alum. Which Babs hoped would delay Elmira's recovery. Later Babs would place the package on Dizzy's doorstep.
In the meantime, Babs entertained her guests. Then the Care Bears made preparations to attempt a return to their own Dimension. Grizzle and Grumpy raided Elmer's garage. Also, his illegal Still. With the chemicals they found, and alcohol a noxious and volatile concoction was formed. They pumped it into a large empty fire extinguisher. Then a remote-controlled device was rigged to pull the activation pin and handle on the extinguisher. Which they suspended under the Cloud Car's body.
Then after some sad "Goodbyes" the Care Bears departed. Grumpy's and Grizzle's device worked perfectly. After detonating the fuse, a huge cloud soon formed. The Cloud Car was then flown into the cloud. Again, the occupants saw the car s body go translucent. Then all went normal. "We're back over Care a Lot" said Grumpy nonchalantly. They were soon on the ground. After giving the Care Council an amazing Report, they returned to their little homes.
Sulky had been a bit sad to get home. Share lightened her mood by promising to find special toys for Great Giving Day. Sulky would later get what looked Buster and Babs Plushies. Custom designed and made by Sharika N. Heart. Using descriptions from Share. They are the few toys Sulky got for that Great Giving Day which have survived. The moody Cub softly cuddles them instead of shredding them.
Back in Acme Acres Dizzy Devil had been puzzled when the package he found made muffled weird sounds. Then he was shocked as he found the still tiny Elmira inside. She jumped out and stood naked and giggling. "I bet you thought I was a Doll" she said. "Oh, I do look like a naked Dolly!"
"Why you small and naked" asked Dizzy. Elmira told the amazing story of what had happened. Dizzy found a towel for Elmira to wrap around herself. He good naturedly protected her until she could recover. It took several days for her to return to normal. In the meantime, Dizzy had a hard time keeping Elmira dressed. "You are just like a Nudist Dolly" Dizzy kept saying to her.
Finally, Elmira was able to return home. Now whenever she feels lonely or threatened, she visits Dizzy. They have one of the oddest friendships in Acme Acres. The other Toons think Elmira and Dizzy are both loonies.
Shirley is still mystified by the relationship between Babs and Buster. The prankster and prankee are still going at it. After witnessing yet another one Shirley just shook her head once again. "Gawd, those are two weird Bunnies" she said to herself.
She may be correct. For Acme Acres is one weird place!
