“Guys,” said Mushpuff. “I have an idea.”

“What??????” exclaimed Plagiarize. “What is it??”

“We need to kill another bear,” said the cat.

“Nah bro there is no way I am doing that again,” said Bird. “Last time we managed to get an entire freaking army after us, yo. And they’re still after us.”

“But this time it will be different!” said Mushpuff. “Last time it was just the two of us. Now there’s, like, five of us and we have an Energy Cube. Plus the army’s already after us so how could things get any worse?”

“Okay, I guess you’re right,” admitted Bird. “Let’s go kill a bear then.”

Fortunately for the gang, there was a bear conveniently located nearby, sitting on the sand and looking at the chaos in the distance.

“You there!” shouted Mushpuff the cat.

“Mmmm, hello, hello,” said the bear.

Within two minutes, Hoofa and the bear had stuck up a very interesting conversation, and she almost forgot that they were supposed to kill the bear.

“I’d agree with you about the first thing, but I think the camels should actually be relocated, like, five miles to the east or so,” said Hoofa, deep in conversation with the bear they were about to kill.

“But that wouldn’t make any sense!” replied the bear. “I mean, how are they supposed to cross the Kriggog River? I think it should be settled with a game of chess, honestly.”

“I honestly think that HYAAAAAHHHH!!!!” screamed Hoofa extremely suddenly as she directed Gumpton to leap through the air, landing on the bear and crushing it mid-conversation. Ketchup went everywhere, it was very brutal.

“Gee, that’ll probably lower our reputation with the bears by quite a lot,” said Plagiarize.

“No, because they didn’t see it,” said Hoofa.
