I'm still judging and waiting on Zoo to give me her picks because she worked so hard on this pet.
Gentle Heart Lamb
Even though all the Care Bear Cousins are known for being kind and soft-hearted, they would all agree that Gentle Heart Lamb is the most soft-hearted of all. She’s very shy except, of course, when she sees someone that needs help. That’s when she becomes brave and bold! Gentle Heart Lamb always has the right words of encouragement to make someone feel better when things have gone badly or they’ve suffered a setback.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*in the series the lamb is a male but the soq is a female
For this writing game, RP that you are Gentle Heart Lamb the soquili who has both horse and lamb qualities. Respond to the prompt below and include that in the form on the next post.
Baby Hugs and Tugs bears were being babysat by Gentle Heart Lamb for the second time this week. Both twins loved how sweet and kind she was to them, nicer than any babysitter they'd ever had! Baby Tugs was a little bit mischevious so mistook Gentle's kindness for weakness at times. He would whine until he got another cookie or holler until he was read another story.
Gentle always gave into his demands but today when he asked for three scoops of ice cream when there was only enough left for the three of them, something had to be done. Gentle was firm when she told him a flat out "NO!" but was a little harsh because she wasn't used to saying this horrible word. It even upset Baby Hugs bear so both bears hid somewhere in the Care Bear Nursery when Gentle was fixing them a snack of cloud cupcakes. After she was done, the bears were no where in sight! surprised
"Hugs! Tugs!" she called out while franticly searching each room but to no avail. The bears were no where to be found.
Gentle felt so badly for scolding Baby Tugs so began blaming herself. She was a little bit too shy to ask for help but ask for help she must!
(RP that you are Gentle. How would you muster up courage to ask for help in finding the bears? Who would you ask? Where are the bears hiding? How would you get them out of their hiding place? What punishment will you give the bears once they are found? You can include another non-care bear soquili if you wish that does or doesn't belong to you. Ask permission from the owner first. Soquilis can visit Care A Lot during the event in this RP but afterwards, the care bear soqs will be stuck in the soquili world and will have to adapt.)

This game ends on Saturday the 22nd at 12 midnight CST. Results will be posted either on Sunday or Monday if Sisi can't be online then. I will judge for creativity, interesting writing, good spelling, and clarity. The prompt answer must be 100% written by you! If you win, you can't give the soq away but you can co-own. You must have RP rights. No mules. You can only enter once and do not edit your posts. Write your prompt in notepad or another program but check for asteriks before you save it in the post because that makes writing hard to read. GOOD LUCK!!

Characters used: Gentle Heart Lamb, Cheer Bear, Baby Hugs and Tugs
Answer to prompt (less than 500 words please) :
Oh dear! I shouldn't have been so hard on little Tugs! Gentle thought as she sat next to the cooling cloud cupcakes. She felt so bad, she had never been harsh before, it made her feel awful.
How will I find them, I looked and I looked, but they're no where to be found! Gentle bit her lip nervously, Hugs and Tugs are gone, what if they had somehow slipped out of the Care Bear Nursery and gotten outside, they could be lost! Gentle sat up in a jolt.
If Hugs and Tugs are hurt or in trouble, then I need to help them! Gentle thought determinedly. She hopped out of the chair and ran down to the room where Cheer Bear was watching other Care Bear cubs.
Bursting through the door, Gentle was met with surprised glances. Rushing to where Cheer Bear was sitting, she started talking quickly.
"Tugs, Hugs, I, angry oh dear!" She wailed. A bemused Cheer Bear led her out of the room and into the hall, where he said,
"Gentle Heart! What’s wrong?" Gentle stedied herself, and told Cheer Bear what was wrong.
Cheer Bear patted Gentle on the back and said comfortingly,
"Its okay Gentle, Tugs and Hugs couldn't have gotten out. We have bears watching all the doors just to make sure no sly little cubs leave!" Gentle scolded herself for forgetting that important fact, and said to Cheer Bear,
"Oh thank you Cheer Bear, you see, I was too scared to ask anyone for help, but then I thought of how Tugs and Hugs could be hurt, and that made me realize I had to be brave!" She gave Cheer Bear a hug, and continued,
"Still though, they are hiding, and I'm scared they might hurt themselves and no one will find them. Will you help me look?" Cheer Bear replied,
"Of course I will, and I know just the thing to get them out!" Gentle followed Cheer Bear to the kitchen, where Cheer Bear whipped up a fresh batch of cloud cupcakes, two big glasses of milk, and two big bowls of ice cream.
"Oh Cheer Bear! You're so smart, Hugs and Tugs will come back for all the sweets you've just made them!" Gentle said happily.
Gentle and Cheer Bear hid behind the door outside the kitchen. Peering in though the crack, Gentle saw a cupboard door creak open, and the two furry heads of Tugs and Hugs peak out.
Gentle rushed out from behind the door and ran to Hugs and Tugs, who hopped out of the cupboard and ran into Gentles open arms, and cried out,
"Gentle, we're sorry!" Gentle hugged them fiercely and said,
"Thats alright little ones, I'm so sorry to have scolded you, I shouldn't have. And I'm not going to punish you for hiding, you must've been scared that I got mad at you." And there they sat, Hugs, Tugs, and Gentle, all tangled up in a great big care bear love hug.

Characters used: Gentle Heart, Baby Hugs, Baby Tugs, and Brave Heart Lion.
Answer to prompt (less than 500 words please):
Gentle Heart was frantic, she couldn’t find Baby Tugs or Hugs anywhere. “Oh me, oh my,” she mumbled over and over as she looked in closets and under tables, “Where could they have gone?” Gentle Heart’s face was covered with a troubled expression, “What if they get hurt?” she asked herself, ashamed that she had scolded Baby Tugs. “I must get help,” she said quickly and made her way to the phone.
“555-5555”….Ring….Ring
“Hello?” A voice answered on the other end.
“Brave Heart? Brave Heart is that you?” her voice trembled as she spoke.
“Gentle Heart, is that you? “ Brave Heart inquired.
“Brave Heart, I’ve done something terrible, I need you at the Care Center right away!” she hung up and continued looking.
“Hugs! Tugs!” she was calling as Brave Heart ran in the door.
“Gentle Heart, what’s wrong?” He tried to comfort his friend.
“It’s Baby Hugs and Tugs. I scolded them earlier and now they’ve disappeared! What will I do?” Her eyes pleaded with Brave Heart for help.
“It’s okay Gentle, you must be brave. We’ll find Hugs and Tugs.” Brave Heart’s chest puffed out as it always did when he was on a mission. “Where do they normally play?”
Gentle Heart stopped to think, “In the playroom, in their tent!” Gentle Heart hadn’t thought of looking in their tent. She felt rather embarrassed.
“Then let’s look there first.”
Brave Heart and Gentle Heart walked down the corridor leading to the playroom. Gentle Heart’s heart was pounding. She hoped that they would find Baby Hugs and Tugs safe and sound.
They opened the door only to hear laughter.
“Baby Hugs, Tugs?” Gentle Heart called out.
Two heads popped out from the tent. It was Baby Hugs and Tugs. They smiled and continued laughing. “Gentle Heart, Brave Heart! Come play with us!” They had completely forgotten about the scolding they had received, they were happy to see they had playmates.
Gentle Heart ran over to Hugs and Tugs, taking them into her arms for a big hug. “I apologize Hugs. I apologize Tugs.” Being such a soft soul, and believing it was her fault that they had disappeared Gentle couldn’t get on to them anymore. She looked down at them with a smile, “How about we go to the Ice Cream shop for 3 scoops of ice cream?”
Brave Heart laughed, “What a punishment.”

Name: Lady Ayasha
Characters used: Gentle Heart Lamb, Wish Bear, Baby Hugs and Tugs.
Answer to prompt(less than 500 words please): (500 words exactly)
The crisp sting of tears shone in limpid blue eyes while the quiet, erratic lilt of sniffling from flared nostrils could be heard. Woe was the dismal little mare standing perfectly alone amidst such a cheerfully decorated area - the Care Bear Nursery to be exact and what place was more jovial and innocent? Yet a sorrowful aura crept about the lone mare and one could only wonder as to what the problem was. The answer came, quite suddenly, when another shape entered, this one quite ursine and discerned by the cheerful star adorning her tummy - Wish Bear. A muffled cry broke out as Gentle Heart drifted towards her, buried her muzzle in the quizzically outstretched paws and through a segue of sniffles explained, “Oh, Wish Bear! I’m so glad you came…! I… lost Hugs and Tugs!” A dramatic, but thoroughly truthful wail ensued only moments after and steady patting occurred. “Hush those tears, Gentle. We’ll find them just fine, why it only takes a wish!”
Gentle Heart could only shake her head slowly as she retracted it, letting it droop to her heart-painted chest. “But I scolded them, Wish, and they were so scared and then they ran off and hid…”
“Don’t say such silly things, Gentle. We’ll find them and I bet they’ll be safe and sound and ready to play again,” a jovial little smile crossed Wish Bear’s short snout at this. “Now tell me, what do you wish for most at the moment?”
“Well… Help finding Hugs and Tugs without a scratch, of course,” after stumbling a bit, the answer came out quite triumphantly and the chain of sniffles halted, slowly but surely.
“I can most certainly grant that wish.” With an affirmative nod, Wish Bear beckoned with a paw to follow and aptly led the way, Gentle Heart couldn’t help but follow, albeit rather hopelessly.
“I searched everywhere, Wish, I just don’t know where they could be…”
A bemused grin stretched across the bear’s maw as she suddenly paused, cupped a paw around a wiggling ear playfully and danced from foot to foot. “I don’t think you looked everywhere, why just listen!”
Droopy ears flicked forward and sure enough Gentle could capture the faint giggling Wish Bear most certainly indicated. “Well… I don’t think I ever checked the cupboards!” With a little squeal two shapes burst free of their temporary confinement, dashed forward on unsteady limbs and snatched up the mare in as big and gentle of a hug as they could - after all, Gentle Heart was such a fragile creature at times.
“We’re sorry,” they piped up in unison, releasing their sitter briefly to study her with wide, naive eyes.
“Don’t be little ones, I was too hard…”
“I’ll try to be nicer, Gentle, really,” Tugs added, but he couldn’t quite hide the mischievious glitter in his bright eyes.
“Don’t worry, Tugs… Now, how about some ice cream?”
Thus, rather than fracture the loving bond amongst the three it only strengthened it.

Characters used: Gentle heart lamb, Hugs&Tugs, lickety-Split(My non-carebear Usdia)
Answer to prompt (less than 500 words please):
Vanished, gone, the small tikes had just plain disappeared upon her, where could they have gone. She had searched everywhere, leaving a mass of ruin behind in her fury to find the missing twins. Gentle’s hooves pounded the tile flooring as she headed out toward the back play area, it was empty, not even the younger bears were around. Oh this was getting worrisome.
“Hugs! Tugs!” She called in panic, her heart pounding against her ribcage, the dreaded thought of calling for help nagging at the back of her mind. “No, I can’t.” She fussed with herself heading toward the front of the nursery. “I just can’t, I can’t.”
She was insistent that she couldn’t get help, she shied away from everyone she knew. Would hey help her now? Would they come to her pleas like she did when they called? She didn’t know but she had to do something, almost crashing through the front doors, Gentle was barely able to stop when another crossed her path.
A lavender and pink Usdia had come the home of the care bears for the day, she was surprised at all the wonders there were up in the clouds. A ear twitched as something came charging her way, rearing just a little she collapsed to the ground in a mass of legs and bodies as the taller Soquili ran into her.
“Hey, look where your going.” Lickety-Split huffed as she tried to pry herself out from under Gentle.
“Sorry, sorry,” Gently apologized over and over again. “You didn’t happen to see any cubs come running through here did you?” she asked most shyly as her ears flattened back as she too backed away almost turning to hide somewhere.
“Er..” Lickety began before looking back the way she had come. “Yea, a pair nearly ran me over. They said something about getting more ice cream.”
Lickety-Split barely finished saying that and the larger mare dashed away, she knew where the cubs had gone. Making her way toward the park, her hooves ever thundering as she came across the park’s ice cream vender and there were the cubs, each sitting there eating ice cream. Stopping short, trying to compose herself, Gentle walked, more like wobbled over toward the cube who look up at her.
“Baby Hugs, Baby Tugs…” She began trying not to break down in front of everyone, her courage coming in small amounts. “May I ask why you ran… Hide on me?” She finishes taking a couple deep breaths.
The cubs looked at each other as if they hadn’t done anything wrong when they hid on Gentle before vanishing from the nursery all together to find more ice cream. Looking back at Gentle they remained silent as they had pulled another bowl of ice cream out and held it out to her.
“We came to get more Ice Cream, we didn’t mean to make you upset.” Baby hugs said as Gentle almost let herself fall.
She couldn’t think of how to punish the cubs, even if they had done wrong. Gentle eyed the ice cream the twins held out to her and she began to sob, she could never truly scold them. Never.

Name: Dr Umeda
Characters used: Gentle Heart Lamb, Baby Hugs and Tugs, Bright Heart Raccoon
Answer to prompt (less than 500 words please): (499 words)
Gentle Heart Lamb was so frustrated and agitated by her mistake that she was shaking at the consequences of her action and so stressed by another thought that one might be scared that her hairs would begin to fall out – having hair-sheep qualities and all. Tugs, bless his little soul, was such a dear she could not bear to say no to. However, this one time she had managed to, he had vanished along with his sister. She hoped that they were hiding in the nursery but she could not help but fret that maybe her action had driven them out of the nursery.
But even worse than that was the fact that she could not find them. They were nowhere her darling heart could think of. She needed help. But it was help that she was afraid to get. She had a slight fear of talking to people. Others called it being shy. She called it laliophobia, the fear of talking, but more specifically, talking outside her comfort zone. Her heart would pound and her throat would feel like it was closing up and her breath would get shallow and then her sight would get dark… but usually she didn’t confront her fear. And Gentle needed to get help, needed to do it before something happened to them, assuming nothing happened to them already. She wanted them to know that she loved them and that she was sorry. And she wanted them to be happy again.
And there was one care bear cousin she could think of who would be a big help: Bright Heart Raccoon. He always knew what to do. She peaked outside of the nursery cautiously. She didn’t want to bump into anyone or cause a commotion. She scanned the area and found him lounging near some trees. Her heart was already pounding in anticipation as she made her way over. She tried to call him but choked on her words. She needed to talk to him. It was determination that enabled her to do what she did next. She closed her eyes and envisioned she was only talking to herself, that there was no one there at all. And then she spoke. “B-bright heart,” she nearly mumbled, “the b-babies, hugs, tugs… missing. I-I need you-your help.” She couldn’t help but stutter anyway as though the back of her mind was still conscious that she really wasn’t talking to herself.
But Bright Heart looked her in the eye and then back to the nursery. He padded over and surveyed the room. He smiled back at her comfortingly and then after careful contemplation, scooped them out from their hiding place. The little ones protested at being found but Gentle’s heart was bursting with love and glee. They were alright and they were found. “Oh Hugs, Tugs, I’m so sorry for what I’ve done. I-I want to make it up to you,” she nearly pleaded. “How about we all make ice cream together?” And so they did.

Characters used: Gentle Heart Lamb & Dotty Paws [Lisa Frank Dalmatian used with permission from kitsy~fox] Baby Hugs and Baby Tugs
Answer to prompt (less than 500 words please):
"Check under the tables!"
"Not there! What about behind the chairs?"
"Nope, no sign of them! Where on earth could they be? Its not like they left the room, the door would have opened!"
Gentle Heart couldn't help but bite her lip with anxiety. She was responsible for the little bears and there was no way she would forgive herself if some misfortune befell them. In her heart she was hoping that they were simply playing a mean trick on her, because that would be far better than the things she was dreading right now, but thankfully she had Dotty Paws to help her search.
Dotty stamped a hoof in impatience, and subconsciously Gentle's jumped. "Drats! Where could those little imps be?!" She said, looking around the room. They couldn't possible have gotten out, but they really were nowhere to be found, her mind was crunching ways to find the two little rascals.
"Dotty, I'm sure we'll find them, after all, I've got these delicious Cloud Cupcakes that I just baked, but if we don't I'm sure you and I would just have to eat them all by ourselves..." Gentle said, putting emphasis on the cupcakes, and Dotty smiled silently to her. With their eyes peeled, they looked around the room; smiles growing when they saw two little noses and shiny eyes peek out from hiding.
It was Hugs that was the first to speak, a quiet voice when she shyly asked, "Gentle....If I come out of hiding and say sorry, can I get a cupcake?" Her head was now poking out from behind a curtain, and Gentle smiled. Then her tail shook twice as Tugs sprung out from his hiding place too.
"If I apologize first, can I get more cupcakes?" He was excited at the prospect of sugary sweets, but faltered when he saw Dotty's grin.
"After the way you acted, I'm not sure you deserve one," she said, addressing his glum face, "but that's not for me to decide." She shrugged and turned to Gentle, the smile again on her face.
"Hmm......I dunno...." Gentle paused, watching as Hugs and Tugs' faces shone with anticipation. "Well, it would be a shame to watch them go to waste, but I'm telling you now: Only one per customer! And would you like a scoop of ice cream to go with that?" Gentle smiled as the twins jumped with glee and stood at the ready to get their cupcakes.
Dotty grinned, that plan had played out perfectly, and now she too was hopeful, "Gentle, well, since I helped you look and all...." She trailed off.
"Yes Dotty, you can have one too." The mares laughed and watched as the twins gulped down their cupcakes happily, another burst when Tugs ate his ice cream too fast and got brain freeze. By the time her babysitting duty was done, even after the fiasco, Gentle couldn’t help but wait excitedly until the next time she would babysit them but-she would remember to bring help!

Answer to prompt (less than 500 words please): (498 words)
The word always felt so foreign on her lips, the tone she had used not like herself. She couldn't blame Tugs or Hugs for fleeing! Her ears flattened aainst her head in sour disappointment with herself, her teeth bothering her lower lip. Dread washed over Gentle as she walked carefully through the nursery. She didn't want to scare them more! "Hugs, Tugs?" She called out softly, her tone remorseful for her less than gentle-nature earlier.
But Tugs couldn't always get what he wanted. It wasn't fair. Gentle sighed as she scanned the room carefully. Instead of catching the wary eyes of one of the twins, she caught a very familiar pair - her own. The defeated image in the mirror was of herself. She took light strides over to it, stopping infront of the decoration. In it, she could see a good measure of the room behind herself. Gentle stared herself in the eyes, trying to put a stronger expression on. Baby Tugs was right to think of her gentle nature as a weakness... Look where this led her!
"No." She repeated, her voice shaking a bit, but not as much as before. The mare swallowed hard, glancing away briefly. "No. Baby Tugs, it's something you have to understand. I... I don't want to be mean," she almost whispered, her eyes slowly flickering to the mirror. The voice had not quivered. It was almost confident sounding. Something somebody weak would not accomplish. A smile lit up on Gentle's face, and she repeated the words, but added more, "And we'll go out and get icecream for the three of us the next time I babysit, if you both come out and understand that I mean no harm." She said, h backing up a bit. Her eyes roamed the mirror, and there, peeking out from behind the door, was an apologetic Baby Hugs.
"Baby Tugs... He went off and hid on his own. But I'll help you!" She said energetically, and that put a smile on Gentle's face. A more confident tone did help. She thanked Hugs and followed her out the door and around the corner. Gentle hadn't thought of leaving the nursery! But, just around the corner, in the kitchen, was Baby Tugs.
... Snooping in the cabinets for food. He had snuck in right after she had left!
"Baby Tugs!" She exclaimed, and though disappointed in her own awareness of the area, she was excited to see he was okay. The little bear turned and flashed a silly grin, though it didn't reach his eyes. He was sorry too. But he hadn't heard about the icecream, apparently.
The mare walked over and nudged him gently, looking over to Baby Hugs. "C'mon you two," she giggled, "Let's go get you two some icecream. Only one scoop a piece, however." She eyed Baby Tugs, and though he gaped at her, he couldn't say anything to her more confident tone and presence.
"Yes'm!" The chorused, and followed after Gentle Heart.

Characters used: Gentle Heart, Hugs and Tugs, my soquili Hayagriva (half-kalona)
Answer to prompt (less than 500 words please):[/b (496 words!)
Gentle Heart’s brow furrowed with guilt. She shouldn’t have been so harsh on poor Tugs. She couldn’t help but be a little frustrated sometimes. That was only natural wasn’t it? It was, but... it was only natural for children to be children too. It was her fault... Her long ears trembled. She was being foolish. Instead of standing around berating herself she knew she ought to be looking for Hugs and Tugs to set things right.
“But I don’t even know where they are,” she sighed.
“Don’t know where who are?”
Gentle Heart squeaked and whirled around. She suddenly was face to face with a soquili... a very tall golden soquili with red stripes in his mane and a barbed tail... “K-kalona!” she yelled in shock and fright. Her heart pounded in her ears and her throat became too choked for words. Somehow a wingless kalona had gotten into Care A Lot! She had to run!
Her legs tensed beneath her, ready for frantic flight. It was then that she of Hugs and Tugs as they happily played around her. NO! She couldn’t just run away and leave them to this monster! “You won’t touch them!” She lowered her head and flung herself at him!
She had hoped to at least spook the kalona. What she didn’t intend to do was collide with his shoulder and then roll to the ground while he stood there looking down at her. “S-sorry!” she instinctively stammered with embarrassment before correcting herself. “Oh! No! I’m not sorry! I won’t let you-“
A butt from the head of the stallion rolled her over.
“Hey! This is a pretty fun game! I’ll let you knock me over next time if you want!”
The golden stallion nudged her with his head again and Gentle Heart blinked. He was playing! She righted herself and took another quick look at him. Other than the tail he was just a playful soquili. Embarrassment swept over her in an even stronger wave. “I’m so sorry! I thought you were... It’s just that I can’t find Hugs and Tugs and I’m so afraid I hurt their feelings!”
Suddenly she heard a familiar voice from behind her. “Don’t worry about it! After seeing that we feel all better!” She looked over her shoulder to see Hugs and Tugs staggering against each other while overcome with laughter. “You should have seen the look on your face!”
Gentle Heart pushed herself to her feet, her embarrassment making her ready to snap at them for their lack of respect. The impulse died in a flash. She wouldn’t snap anymore. Instead she smiled warmly at both the twins and her new guest. “I guess it was pretty funny, wasn’t it? Now who wants cookies?” She had no shortage of enthusiasm for that offer and was soon serving plates of warm cookies. Her heart was back at ease. Hugs and Tugs were happy again and she had made a new friend in the adventure.

Name: Kirowyn
Characters used: Gentle Heart Lamb, Hugs and Tugs, and the Star and Heart Buddies.
Answer to prompt (less than 500 words please):
Gentle Heart was very perturbed by the tots' disappearance, and had no idea what to do. She was too distraught over scolding Tugs what she thought was a little too harshly.
Oh dear, thought Gentle. What have I done? I hope the tots will forgive me! She paced around the kitchen, trying to think of a solution. If I were a tot, where would I go if I were mad at my babysitter?
Not too far off, the Heart and Star buddies were playing in the clouds outside and heard Gentle's distressful thoughts. Knowing they couldn't just sit idly by, they headed over to the house to see what was the matter. They flew in through the window and surrounded Gentle, trying to cheer her up.
"Why hello little friends." Gentle greeted them. "I seem to have lost Hugs and Tugs in the house, and I fear I yelled at Tugs too boldly." She bowed her head in shame. "He wanted three scoops of ice cream, but there wasn't enough left to give it too him so I told him 'NO!' but it was a little too harsh." The Heart and Star Buddies seemed to glimmer in laughter. They didn't think Gentle had done anything wrong, and figured the tots were only doing what little tots did. They rushed off to search the house, reassuring Gentle that everything would be just fine.
In just a few moments, Hugs and Tugs came running into the kitchen, followed by the Heart and Star Buddies. Gentle wrapped her arms around the two tots and said, "I'm sorry I yelled at you. I just didn't have enough ice cream to give you three scoops."
Tugs laughed. "Aw, that's okay Gentle."
Hugs giggled. "We're not mad!"
Gentle squeezed the cubs tight and let out a laugh herself. "Alright then, lets get you two some cloud cupcakes."

Characters used: Gentle Heart Lamb, Hugs, Tugs
Answer to prompt (less than 500 words please):
Why? Why did she have to be so mean to Tugs? Now both the twins were sure to hate her now! Sadness flooded Gentle Heart Lamb as she continued to shout their names, wishing with all her heart that they would respond, so she could apologise to them. She really hadn’t meant to scold him; didn’t mean to say that nasty word.
But no matter how loudly she called their names, no reply came to her ears. Which was what she expected, but the fact drove right through her heart as her voice faded away and she collapsed down on the floor, staring at the cloud cupcakes. She suspected that they wouldn’t come out even if she tempted them. I really was too harsh on him. I shouldn’t have. I should have told him that he couldn’t have any more ice cream nicely.
A tear rolled down her cheek as she stared at her baking, not knowing that the twins were now peeking at her from the door, wondering why she had stopped trying to find them. “I’m sorry.” Gentle whispered, caressing a cupcake softly. “I really didn’t mean to…” Her emotions welled up inside her and overflowed, causing her to break into tears.
“Hugs, Tugs, I’m sorry.” She cried, her tears plopping on the cupcakes, one by one. The bears looked at one another, wishing they could rush to her, so she could stop crying.
However, Tugs was still adamant about the fact that Gentle had been so mean to him. Hugs sighed, throwing him a glare, and not caring about the consequences, rushed into the room to give Gentle a hug. “It’s alright, Gentle! Don’t cry anymore please?”
As she raised a teary face to stare at Hugs, Gentle cracked a weak smile, and then realized the blue twin was missing. “Tugs…” She whispered. “He’s still angry with me, isn’t he?” This prompted a fresh flow of tears, which hurt the little bear. He really didn’t mean to make her cry so badly!
“Gentleee~” He whined, dashing into the room to hug her. “It’s okay. Just promise me something.”
At the sight of him, Gentle smiled, drying her tears. “What is it? No more ice-cream though.” She said teasingly, but her tone firm.
“Don’t cry anymore.” Tugs grinned up at her, and the three of them were cozy as they cuddled together and ate the cupcakes.
Well, besides the one she cried on, of course.

Name: Bonara
Characters used: Gentle Heart Lamb, Baby Hugs, Baby Tugs, and Luna Lovegood. [My co-owned non CB soquili]
Answer to prompt:
Gentle Heart was pacing quickly around the room, “What have I done, oh what have I done? Why did I have to be so harsh to Baby Tugs…He only wanted ice cream...”
A few moments later, a Cream colored mare known as Luna Lovegood walked in.
“Oh Luna, I need your help, p-please.” Shaking slightly, she was worried they would never find Baby Tugs and Hugs.
“What’s the matter? Have the gnomes spread a disease?” Gentle Heart had always been known for her calm ways. This definitely was not like her.
Looking a bit confused, Gentle Heart shook her head slowly, her mouth a bit open. “Err no. Its Baby Tugs and Hugs, I didn’t give them what they wanted, so they have disappeared! Please help me Luna; you have been known to find the things that are hidden.”
“Oh. Of course I can help! You mustn’t be so shy in asking about these things! Or else the bumblebee’s will catch your tongue!’’
“Sh...” Luna listened carefully. “Do you hear that? The wind is telling us all we need to know.”
Gentle Heart had the same expression. “I don’t hear anything at all...”
Luna walked in front of a slide. “Hmm…” Walking around to the back, she bends down and gently pushes Hugs and Tugs out in view for Gentle Lamb.
Gentle Heart rushes over towards the two and nuzzles them on top of they’re heads. She backs up at looks at them, time for punishment. “I am very disappointed in you two...” Taking a gulp, she already feels guilty. Maybe I can just let them off the hook? No...That would be a pushover.
“For your punishment, I…err…You will not be able to participate in…playtime this evening.” Sighing, she felt she did pretty well. It may be an easy punishment to get over, but they really hadn’t caused too much trouble...
Hugs and Tugs looked at each other, smiling; they face Gentle Heart and speak at the same time, “We’re sorry.” Walking up to her, they give her a large hug.
“I’m sorry I got so mad…I’ll be better, I promise.”
Luna smiles to herself and walks out the door and now knows Gentle Heart will be able to have things under control from now on.

Name: Zactura
Characters used: Gentle Heart, Tugs, Hugs, Scythe (mutant stallion owned by Dixie)
Answer to prompt:
“Hugs! Tugs! Where are you?” Gentle Heart repeatedly said as she hysterically searched Care-A-Lot. Hugs and Tugs had disappeared, and Gentle Heart was frantic. “Why, oh, why did I have to say no to Tugs? A little more ice cream wouldn't have hurt him…” Gentle Heart said. “Hugs, Tugs! Come out, please!” She was close to tears now. Little did she know, Hugs and Tugs were closer than she thought…
“Don’t you think we should come out now? Gentle Heart sounds really worried…” Hugs said nervously to Tugs in their hiding spot in a closet. Tugs’ head emerged from a pile of robes. “No, silly! She was mean to us, wasn’t she?” Tugs asked incredulously. Hugs opened his mouth to reply, but Tugs cut him off. “We’re not coming out yet.”
Gentle Heart loped from room to room, making a huge mess and a lot of racket in her frantic search for the twins. “Tugs! Hugs! Please, come out! Please!” she sobbed. Tears were starting to cloud her vision, impeding her search for the twins.
The sounds of hoof beats and chains clanking rang out. Gentle Heart gazed out of a nearby window, her soft ears flat against her head in distress. A magnificent stallion was drawing near. “Hey! Who…who are you?” Gentle Heart in a quavering voice. He tilted his horned head upwards, to see Gentle Heart. “Scythe. What’s up with you? Something wrong?” “I’m…Gentle...Heart…can you…please…?” she stuttered. “Can I what?” Scythe inquired with a good-natured smirk, revealing some rather sharp teeth that put Gentle Heart off for a moment. “I…I…..l...lost…Hugs…and…T…Tugs….” Gentle Heart burst out into tears. “Whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm down. What happened?”
“I w…..was…a little bit…harsh…on Tugs…he wanted more ice cream than we had…there was just enough for all of us, but …Can you….can you help me find them?”“Sure. Can you let me in?” Scythe said. Gentle Heart disappeared from the window for a moment. A second later, the doors opened. Scythe walked in regally, with the clop of his hooves and the gentle clinking of his chains making a melody just for him.
“What was that?” Hugs asked Tugs, a slight tremor in his voice. “I heard something-” “No you didn’t, silly!” Tugs cut in. “Gentle Heart’s probably really sorry she didn’t let me have any ice cream now!” Tugs said with a smirk. Then, the door creaked open, revealing Scythe. “Gotcha!” he said triumphantly. Hugs and Tugs shrieked as Gentle Heart and Scythe pulled them out of the closet.
“What you did was very, bad, Tugs. You shouldn’t have done that! I had no idea where you were! If you hurt yourself, how could I have helped you? Gentle Heart said, after gathering up her courage. “It’s an early bedtime for you two.” “But-” “That’s enough out of you, Tugs.” Scythe said.

Name: [Celeste]
Characters used: Gentle Heart, Baby Hugs, Baby Tugs, & Good Luck Bear (The bear, not soquili)
Answer to prompt (less than 500 words please):
Gentle heart began to hyperventilate as she started to finally take in the fact that Baby Hugs & Tugs were nowhere to be found in the house. ‘Where could they be?', ‘Are they hurt?’ Was all that seemed to run though her mind as she tried to calm down, taking in bigger deeper breaths before she could pass out. Now wasn’t the time for “sleeping”.
Gentle Heart scrambled out of the door and started to look around. “Baby Hugs! Tugs….I’m sorry” She shouted out, ending her sentence in a small whisper. She turned her head over to the sound of humming, realizing that it was Good Luck Bear. The bear stopped as she noticed Gentle Heart, waving to her. “Hello!” But Gentle Heart just stood there frozen. She couldn’t burden someone else with her troubles, could she?
Gentle Heart began to imagine images of Baby Hugs and Tugs, hurt, scared, and lost…. Without thinking straight She trotted up to Good Luck Bear. “Is something wro-“,
“Idon’tknowwhattodo, thecubsranawayandIdon’tknowwheretheyare, c-couldyoupossiblyhelpmefindthem?” She said out in a long incoherent stream of sentences, with feeling so distressed at the moment, she felt so nervous of the cub’s safety that she hadn’t thought on slowing down.
Good Luck Bear looked at Gentle Heart, confused. “Whoa! Calm down, what happened?” Gentle Heart took in a deep breath and started to explain her situation, with a little more detail than before. “Well you have just come to the right bear!” Good Luck Bear said, her tummy symbol suddenly glowing and then dimming again, a four leaf clover now being held in her paw. “With just a little bit of luck, I'm sure that we can find them.”
So Gentle Heart & Good Luck Bear began to look, but so far, it seemed that their luck had run out. “They must be here somewhere..” Gentle Heart sighed, feeling even more worried about the two cubs. “Oh, I’m sure they’re around here somewhe-Woah!”, Good Luck Bear was saying until she tripped over what appeared to be a lollipop, sliding through into a cloud berry bush. “Oh, goody, goody, gosh!” a small little pink bear shouted, walking over to the front of the bush, helping Good Luck Bear from the bush. A small blue cub following after the pink one. “Hugs! Tugs!” Gentle Heart shouted out as she rushed over to the two, nuzzleing them.
After they cleaned up Good Luck Bear from her fall, Gentle Heart began explaining and apologized, the two cubs also giving her their apologies. “We’re sorry Gentle Heart” They said together. “I hope this won’t happen again.” Good Luck Bear said with a small laugh. Gentle Heart looked over to her, “Thanks for your help.”
“Oh, It was nothing really, just a bit of luck”, She replied, twirling the four leafed clover in her paw. Gentle Heart then walked over to Baby Hugs and Tugs. “Hey, why don’t you two gather a few more of those berries? I’m sure they’ll be great with cloud cupcakes!”

(Small note: I’m not exactly sure about Good Luck bear’s gender, but in the Care Bears movie that I watched (and drew inspiration from) Good Luck Bear was a girl so in this entry I decided to have her be a girl. I hope that’s ok x3;
And… I’m not sure if there’s cloud berry bushes in Care a lot xD;; )
