Chapter One.
14 years prior...
Near the end of a standard Care Bear mission on Earth, Brave Heart Lion and Champ Bear were in the extra cloud car and they were about to follow Tender Heart, Cheer Bear and True Heart back to Care-a-lot when the unexpected happened. A powerful beam of light from a nearby city's concert stadium spotlight hit both Brave Heart and Champ Bear directly in the eyes which made their cloud car descend toward the beam of light's source. Fearing a crash, Brave Heart and Champ Bear braced for impact only to have their cloud car land in a safety net that had been stretched across the open area of the stadium. When the dazzle of the powerful light began to fade from their eye sight, they saw an African American teen age boy clamor across the netting to the cloud car where upon he got into the back seat with the two and buckled up.
"I wasn't sure how that was going to work, guys. My name is Johnny Guitar; no that is really my last name. My dad builds electric guitars for rock bands. Today is my birthday and the only thing I have ever wanted was to go see Jasmine in concert. I found out through the groupies web site that she has a gig tonight at a nightclub in the Cloud Kingdoms called Hopes and Dreams. Since my parents didn't know how to get me to the nightclub, I knew that I would have to flag down a Care Bear in order to make the trip. If you guys can take me there, you will cheer me up something fierce. I was on the verge of doing something really bad to myself if I couldn't go see Jasmine on my birthday. I just turned 16. I sure am lucky I saw you guys finishing a caring mission. I am sorry I used the high powered City Stadium spotlight. Can you help me? I still believe in Care Bears and magic."
Champ Bear shook the stars out of his eyes. "Well, Sports fan! If going to one of her concerts on your birthday will cheer you up, then we will be glad to take you there and back home afterward! Its what Care Bears and Care Cousins do! Isn't that Right, Brave Heart?"
Brave Heart didn't look happy. "I just want to go home to my cave to get some sleep." But then he saw the crest fallen look on the boy's face. "But... one last mission for the night couldn't hurt anything. My bed will always be there."
This resulted in the dark brown haired young man giving Brave Heart a fond hug as he said, "I knew I could count on the King of Feelings! Thank you, Brave Heart!"
Champ Bear grinned. "It will only be for a few hours. You could be back in your cave by midnight, sports fan."
Johnny said, "I love you guys if we can get to see Jasmine in concert. I don't know whom the opening act will be. But her profile says she likes to give new talent a chance."
Since Brave Heart and Champ Bear had never heard of a nightclub in the Cloud Lands, they had to rely on the directions that Johnny had gotten off of the web site.
Hopes and Dreams Nightclub; Unicorn Legacy Peninsula
When Brave Heart pulled the cloud car into the parking lot of the nightclub, both he and Champ Bear were surprised that this place even existed. They thought they had explored every part of the Forest of Feelings and they had never seen this place before. As Champ Bear turned his head to look at Johnny, he noted that the young man was removing all of his clothes and storing them in the floor board of the cloud car. "What are you doing, sports fan?"
Johnny replied, "They have a clothing rule at the door, Champ. No clothes permitted beyond that point; they have had problems with customers concealing weapons in cloaks; so now to get in, visitors must bear it all like the natives. All I need is the door fee for the three of us and then we can go inside. The door fee pays for us to watch the concert and to get any food or drinks in the club. I can pick up my clothes when we go to leave later. I'm not embarrassed over the rule here. It could be worse."
Champ Bear then removed his sports jacket and stored it within the trunk of the cloud car. "I feel naked without my sports jacket, Johnny. But if you are not bothered by the rule then I can play by the rules as well. I just hope this never ends up in one of our TV shows. Although Mr. Nelvana approves some pretty bizarre things."
Brave Heart grinned. "You look good in the natural, sports fan." He giggled after getting to use Champ Bear's phrase against him.
Champ replied, "You think you're funny, don't you?"
Brave Heart laughed. "And me without my camera."
At the door, a burly rhino with a fist over a heart symbol on his tummy said, "How many?"
Johnny said, "Three, please. Tonight is my birthday; I just turned 16 and I've always wanted to see Jasmine in Concert. I am not looking to get a discount, Mister."
The rhino arched an eye as he noticed the speaker was a naked human boy. "This is her last night here at the Hopes and Dreams. We are gonna miss her when she moves on. Six dollars. Jasmine's opening act tonight is Frolic Faun from Passion Park. He is a faun with fox legs instead of having goats legs. His head is much like a fox. He plays a Saxophone as well as a Clarinet. He bills himself as the Sounds of Frolic. I heard him practicing earlier. He is pretty good. Jasmine can sure pick these guys. She is braver than I to be in Passion Park."
Once they had cleared the door, Johnny asked Champ Bear, "Just what is Passion Park, Champ? I've never heard that place name in your TV show."
Champ Bear blushed. "It is an sexually adult zone; word is that they sleep all day and have weird sex all night. If you walk in at night, you are open game."
Brave Heart said with some fear in his voice. "Swift Heart Rabbit almost got caught in there one night when the sun set during a supply run."
