The next day, Shimmers was still tied down with Loveheart's cock still in him although it was flacid. His butt felt like it had dry sticky paint on it since the cum dried up in his butt and between his legs. "Ohh what a night." Shimmers said smiling. "What a wonderful dream to." He whispered to himself happily. "Loveheart, wake up my cutey." He said nuzzling noses with him still hearing him sleep. "Zzzzz I love my shimmers." He said clearly awake pretending to be asleep as he nuzzled noses back with him as Shimmers giggled. "Loveheart, I know your awake, now come on untie me." Shimmers said giggling. Loveheart opened his eyes and sat up looking into his eyes playfully. "Hehe ohh I thought you said I was the dominant one here. Just for that!" He said giggling tickling Shimmers pits. "Noohhoahahahaaokahahaokahyhahayouahahathe dominanthaheheheheheeheehee!" Shimmers giggled happily as Loveheart stopped kissing him. "Hehe thats right, now don't forget who is in charge." He said playfully as his star glowed and the bonds disappeared. "I think we both better shower together before anyone sees us like this." Loveheart said blushing on his cheeks as Shimmers rubbed his wrists and sitting up rubbing his ankles due to being restrainted for eight hours. Loveheart gently grabbed his hand as Shimmers smiled looking into his eyes as he led him to the bathroom as the two hopped into the shower scrubbing eachother's bodies, and also at times playfully tickling each other bonding very closely as the two embraced into a happy hug and kissed lovingly. After this fun activity together, the two dried off with there own color marked towels and symbols on them. Not only that, but the tile floor in the bathoom had a combined symbol of there tummy symbols together as the two brushed teeth together. Loveheart smirked as he was washing his face after spitting out his toothpaste and playully splashed Shimmers with water. "Hey! No fair, I was all dry!" Shimmers said as Loveheart bear kept splashing him till Shimmers started splashing him back as the two bears laughed playfully together making a puddle of water in the bathroom till they finally stopped. "Well that was fun, but its time to clean this up." He said as his tummy symbol glowed hitting the floor drying up the water as Shimmers looked at that but groaned a bit sadly. "Huh? You okay Shimmers?" He inquired concerned. "Yeah, its just that I'm the only bear in Carelot who can't use my tummy symbol." He said looking a bit depressed. Loveheart was about to say something till they heard a door knock. "Shimmers, when I first learned to use my tummy symbol, it took me over a week before I truly mastered it." Loveheart confessed a bit embarassed. "Your just saying that to make me feel better." Shimmers groaned. Loveheart then looked a bit more concerned and tender towards Shimmers. "No I am not my love, I promise you can ask Confidence or even my own mother if you don't believe me." He said looking Shimmers seriously in the eyes. "I'm sorry for doubting you Loveheart. I'm just so ashamed I can't do the most basic thing that a carebear is suppose to do." He said looking down ashamed. "It'll cum, I mean come to you." Loveheart said giggling correcting himself laying his paws on his shoulders in a reassuring manner. ------------------------------------- Lifeheart had gotten up and was clearly worried and distressed that morning as Sage Heart bear woke up around at that moment and saw his wife. "Huh? What is wrong Lifeheart?" He inquired concerned. "Its Shimmers." She said directly looking at her husband in the eyes. "Huh? Oh no, did he run away again?" He said quickly getting up. "No, nothing like that Sage." She said smiling, giggling and proud of his concern for Shimmers. "Then what is it?" Sage Heart inquired. "Sage Heart sit down please, I have something I have to tell you, but you must promise never to share this with anyone, especially Shimmers and Loveheart bear." She said in a serious tone. Sage Heart sighed. "More secrets? Why? Wasn't it bad enough we spied on Shimmers?" He said still feeling guilty over that. "I understand your concern, but after you hear this, I'm sure you will understand." Lifeheart explained as Sage Heart sat down looking down. "I'm listening." He said moving his feet up and down in the air nervously. "Well, I've been meeting with the Great Wishing Star privately and he gave me the ability to read Shimmers thoughts, nothing in his mind is hidden from me, I know his fears, when he is happy, sexually excited." Lifeheart said as Sage heart bear was blushing. "Okay I get the point," Sage Heart said. "No need to be so explicit. So since you can read his thoughts, what is wrong?" "When the Great Wishing Star came to me, he warned me about Noheart and how Shimmers still doubts being accepted, I mean truly accepted by everyone in the carebears family. He still has doubts currently, and Noheart sooner or later is going to openly challenge Shimmers and try to suade him back to his side." "No, how could he have any doubts after everything we done for him?" He said in a frustrated almost sad tone. "We accepted him, loved on him openly, how could he doubt that?" He said sadly. "Sage, please understand, its not personal, his mind was already broken after he left Noheart, and its barely begun to heal now, but its still very very fragile, and as it is, if Noheart was to come right now, he would destroy Shimmers trust in us." She explained. "Then what are we to do then?" Sage Heart said. "What more can we do to prove to Shimmers we do accept and love him? He's like a son to me now." He said still hurt that Shimmers still doubted his sincerety. "We have to keep trying, and the only way we know how is not ever giving up on him, and letting him know if he ever wants to talk, or a shoulder to cry on, we are always here for him, no matter what." Lifeheart said determinedly and smiling. "You love him Sage heart don't you? Like he was one of our own like Loveheart bear?" "Yes I do." He said smiling. "Then we need to show him that, and not leave him alone during this critical time, I will be damned if I will let Noheart poison his mind again and take our son away!" She shouted as Sage heart was taken back but smiling. "If thats how you feel honey I promise to keep this all secret and I won't tell anyone," He promised raising his hand crossing his fingers. "However shouldn't we pay him a visit now? Make sure he's doing okay?" "Yes," Lifeheart said smiling. "We need to be very consistent and persistent with him. Its at least nice to know he doesn't dismiss the attention he recieves from us. So will use that to our advantage." She said as the two left the house smiling and holding hands determined to win Shimmers over once and for all. As the two arrived at there house, they knocked on Shimmers door and waited. They heard voices inside, but no one answered so they knocked again and a bit harder this time "Shimmers? Are you in there? Is everything okay?" Sage heart asked as Lifeheart knocked him gently on the elbow to not be so obvious. Loveheart bear answered as the door opened up. "Oh hi mom, and dad." Loveheart bear said smiling as Shimmers peered around the corner. "Hi Shimmers!" Said Sage Heart smiling as Shimmers blushed nervously at the overly friendly tone of Sage. "How was your night? Did you sleep well?" Sage heart inquired. "Yes Sage I slept good last night." Shimmers said answering in a soft tone as him and Loveheart exchanged glances as Shimmers blushed seeing Loveheart bear wiggling his eye brows at him. "That's good." Sage heart bear said as he didn't know what else to say at that point. "Shimmers," Lifeheart interceded. "Would it be okay if we spent the day with you? We would like to spend time with you to get to know you more just you and us." Lifeheart unicorn said kindly. "I would love that, but I'm not sure if Loveheart wants to do that." Shimmers said. "I think its a great idea Shimmers, why don't we catch up later at the staring center?" Loveheart said not giving Shimmers a chance to answer as he gently pushed Shimmers out the door. "Hey, whats the big idea?" Shimmers said annoyed till Loveheart kissed him. "Its just for one day Shimmers, I promise I'm not going anywhere." He said making him giggle nuzzling his cheek affectionately. "Besides, its about time you got to know my mom and dad." "Hehe okay." Shimmers said as he exited the door as Loveheart closed the door. Shimmers looked very nervous not knowing what to say or do. "Relax Shimmers, we know you love our son, and where not here to interrogate you or anything like that." Sage Hart reassured smiling. "Sorry, its just that I barely know you two, and I don't want to say or do the wrong thing. Not since the last time I had you two..." Shimmers said as Lifeheart stopped him placing her finger on his lips. "SHhh, none of that, your forgiven and we hold no ill will towards you," She said gently as she messaged his ear reassuring him of her words as that seem to calm him down. "Now what is that thing Trueheart does with you? Ah yes." Lifeheart said as she grasped his paw in her's as she signaled for Sage Heart bear to do the same as Sage heart went by Shimmers side and grasped his paw in his as they began to walk to the magi black hat to get him a taste to get to know them and there family as Shimmers breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. After they got there, he noticed the decore was black and white just like the black top hat as that was its two primary colors. "Now Guidance and Anger Heart are making the food this morning. So grab what you want." Sage Heart bear encouraged. Shimmers smiled as he quickly grabbed some eggs, sausage and bacon along with a cinnamelt and sat down but waited till Lifeheart and Sage Heart joined him at the booth which was brown, and darkbrown shading with the floor having white tiling. Shimmers prayed over his food and just when he was done he saw Sage heart and Lifeheart sit next to him on both sides."Now son, tell us about yourself a bit. What are some things you enjoy?" Sage Heart asked. "I,, I like to play chess and basketball and as you know I also like to train in all fighting styles. " Shimmers said trying to stay calm as he took a bite from his fork that had the assortment of eggs and bacon on it. "Oh nice basketball huh? Did you play in any high school sports?" Sage Heart inquired. "Sadly no I didn't," Shimmers admitted. "I played by myself with only a few friends if I was lucky around each lunch time. I was a high energy player, but I was pretty scronny back then." Shimmers confessed. "That's okay though, I'm sure you were very good at it." Lifeheart said smiling at Shimmers as Shimmers was wondering why they wanted to see him, and why they were being so loving, yet seemingly concerned for him. He thought it was sweet, but he held his tongue not wanting to offend them. Lifeheart hid her reaction sensing Shimmers thoughts but then decided to engage in the conversation. "Shimmers, you mentioned you liked Chess, how good were you at that?" Lifeheart asked. "Well, I started my own chess club in high school and I will admit I was very good at that." Shimmer said as he began to feel more at ease as he ate more of his food and drank some milk. "A chess club huh? Impressive son." Sage Heart said smiling also eating his own food down. "Son?" Shimmers looked at Sage Heart curiously. "Yeah," Sage Heart bear looking at him for a moment nervously. "Is it okay if we call you that? We do consider you like one of our own kids now Shimmers. We meant what we said when your part of our magi family." "I, I don't know what to say, thank you." Shimmers said looking down not knowing how to react to this affection. Lifeheart rubbed his back gently and looked him in the eyes. "We will always be here for you Shimmers if you ever need anything, or just want to talk. So if you ever need us, just let us know." Lifeheart said reassuringly as Shimmers smiled. "Thanks Lifeheart, Sage Heart, I really appreciate that." Shimmers said not being used to the center of attention. He finally felt at ease, and decided it was time to ask them. "Um may I ask you two a question?" He said finishing up his last bite of his sausage and gulping the final portion of his milk down as he tore into his cinnamelt. "Sure son, what's on your mind?" Sage heart bear asked kindly. "Why do you two so easily forgive me after all the harm and damage I caused? I understand your trying to make me feel welcome and all, but aren't you two the least bit still upset with me for all the harm I caused?" Shimmers said as Sage Heart looked totally caught off guard by this, cept for Life heart who remained calm already knowing what he was going to ask. "I mean I hurt two of your kids in battle, bruised Loveheart's ego in battle right in front of his own family, and on top of that I kidnapped you two. How can you two possibly accept me after all of that?" Shimmers said fighting back some tears of guilt. Lifeheart winked at Sage heart not to answer as she reassured him she got this. "Its because we love you Shimmers, everyone makes mistakes, and we think you more than paid the consequences for them, from our kids tormenting you each day when you were first here, till you eventually came back here and had everything reconciled with our kids and with us." She said looking into his eyes smiling which caused Shimmers to sniffle a bit. "We love you Shimmers, your one of us now and forever more no matter what, your family, and I do consider you as one of my own children." Shimmers was shaking and covered his tear filled eyes as he hugged Lifeheart and buried his head into her chest sobbing. "Shh shh its okay, you need to forgive yourself, be gentle with yourself Shimmers. Remember, its not your fault what happened to your parents, its also not your fault your mind got twisted and poisond by Noheart. He tricked you. Its time you accepted that and forgive yourself while at the same time placing the blame where it belongs. On Noheart, not yourself sweety." She said as she hugged him along with Sage Heart bear also hugging him as Shimmers sobbed a bit louder as he tried speaking "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" Shimmers said. "I don't deserve your kindness or your forgiveness! You even approved of your son in marriage to me!" "Its okay son," Sage Heart said hugging him tightly. "Those are guilty thoughts eating you alive inside, you got to let those go and understand your accepted here no matter what you did or done before. All that is forgiven and we are your family now. We will never abandon you, we love you son." He said as Shimmers sobbed hugging them both back tightly till he finally stopped crying to a shiver as Lifeheart wiped his last tear away smiling at him. "Its okay to cry Shimmers," Lifeheart reassured him. "Its perfectly healthly to make your feelings of hurt known, so you can finally allow yourself to heal properly. Just remember, please never doubt our sincerety, its the struggle in your own mind that is making you doubt, you need to over come that by being gentle with yourself, celebrate the fact you turned against Noheart and joined us. That's a victory" She said looking him in the eyes as Shimmers smiled. "I'll try." Shimmers said. "That's all we ask of you son." Sage Heart bear said as they rubbed him on the shoulders. "Shimmers come, its time we taught you how to use that unicorn magic." Shimmers nodded as they got up and left the magi cafeteria after mptying there trays out and plaving them on the black top hat waste bins. Shimmers walked with with these two as he entered there back yard as Lifeheart stood in front of Shimmers. Lifeheart began to explain. "Elemental magic is about controlling the flow of mana/magical energy through your body like a martial art. Learning to shape it as you expel it into a form based on the element you are focusing on. Most learn one element at a time and sometimes pick up new ones as they get more experienced.The elements are as follows Earth, which also includes metal. Fire and heat an heat and cool large areas. Wind and lightning, water and ice controls the spacing between the molecules instead of temperature Light which is both light and healing energy. Dark, which is darkness, gravity and negative energy. There are a few others, do you want me to keep going?" She inquired. "Tell me more about the Light element." Shimmers inquired. Lifeheart smiled. "Ohh good choice Shimmers, While Light is one of the more powerful ones and difficult ones to learn. its a mix of photokinesis and life energy. It allows one to use blades and beams of light that can pierce, smash or slash but not heat (like a laser), also to turn invisible, create illusions and bright flashes to blind enemies and even "Flash steps" or short range teleport jumps be temporarily turning into light. It also allows the use of life energy to heal injuries and destroy creatures like undead fueled by negative energy. That the one you want to learn?" "Yes," Shimmers said eagerly. "While I was on the dark side and caused hurt and pain, Light heals and also destroys negative energy and I could use some light right now in my heart to chase away this guilt and doubt." Shimmers said looking down sadly as Sage Heart quickly approached him placing his paws on his shoulders. "Shimmers, remember what we said in the cafeteria? About forgiving yourself?" Sage heart bear compassionately. "Look at me son." He said determinely. "Yes, I'm sorry, its just so hard for me." Shimmers said looking into Sage Heart's eyes. "In due time son, you will learn to let it go, but for now let's focus on learning this." Sage heart bear said. "Okay?" He said smiling as Shimmer smiled back. "Okay.. Dad." Shimmers said as Sage Heart blushed on his cheeks liking that as he walked away as Lifeheart admired what just happened. "Now Shimmers, in the sameway you tap into your natural powers of the heart, your going to need to take it slow and work this new muscle of unicorn magic that now resides in you." She explained. "Its going to take time to use it, so your going to have to really focus everything else out, and feel it first, get to know it, familiarity, then once you do that, then try to make it sift out of your star on your forehead. Now close your eyes and concentrate." She said setting the example by closing her eyes herself. Shimmers took long, calm deep breaths as he probed his own mind searching and knocking all other thoughts off till he was in a calm state. Shimmers as he kept his eyes closed, he felt gentle paws on his shoulders not even needing to open his eyes knowing who it was as this helped him to relax. Shimmers began to see that potential unicorn magic within himself, he zoomed in in his mind's eye to it, as he now began to feel it, letting it sift through his body, not controlling it, just getting a feel for it flowing through his body as his star began to glow on his forehead. "Now, after you feel it flowing through your heart and mind, now begin to focus and bring it out Shimmers! I don't know how, but I can feel it flowing through your body too, come on Shimmers let it out while keeping control." She said as Shimmers began to lock down his focus as his unicorn star grew brighter upon his forehead as glimpses of the light elemental began to glow and grow from his star upon his head. "Now let it flow out to your paws and see if you can concentrate enough to form a light sword from it." She encouraged. Shimmers squinted his face as the magic flowed out of him more powerfully and a bit out of control at first. "Relax Shimmers, bring it into your arms, don't let it go, your in control, not the light wondering aimlessly." Shimmers did try and relax and as he did so, the light cackled all the more brightly upon his forehead as Shimmers felt the light energy eventually hit his paws focusing on both paws as he placed his hands together as he opened his eyes seeing that he formed a double edged bladed sword. "WOW! I did it!" Shimmers said smiling feeling that confidence growing in his mind. "You did, great work Shimmers!" Sage Heart said smiling. Lifeheart opened her eyes and also created a light sword. "Among all of my kids of current and long past never have I ever seen anyone master a forged weapon in such a short time. Your the most talented and a natural Shimmers." Shimmers said blushed on his cheeks and her smiling at him. "If you keep training and focusing your heart on this, you will master this elemental very quickly, maybe even in just a few days if you keep up at this rate." "Thank you for teaching me." Shimmers said sniffling as a happy tear went down his eye. "My pleasure my cub," She said winking at him. "Now how about a friendly battle with your new mom hmm?" She said challenging him aiming her sword at him. Shimmers giggled and braced himself. "Ready mom." He said as she charged at him as he blocked a few attempts of her single bladed sword at his body. Shimmers then swung back as Lifeheart also blocked his strokes as Shimmers was smiling from ear to ear feeling his hope was restored and didn't feel like such a failure anymore. Shimmers then concentrated a moment more as he let more of the energy out of his star, just enjoying it coarsing through his body as he felt like running, so he dashed across the clouds with the light cackling around his body as he took one step, but appeared ten steps from his previous spot as he looked at his position and looking at his paws. "Huh? How did I do that?" Shimmers said astonished. "Wow, that's fast." Lifeheart said alarmed but proudly. "It takes someone months before they can learn the flash stepping Shimmers. Are you feeling okay? Just remember this magic can be draining." SHe cautioned. "I feel great mom, thanks for being such a great teacher." He said as his star stopped glowing as he ran up to her and hugged her tightly as she giggled hugging him back tightly. "Now, do you want to continue training?" Lifeheart asked. "Yes!" Shimmers said nearly interrupting her. "Well then let's continue." Lifeheart said as her horn glowed and formed her sword again as she stepped back from him. Shimmers closed his eyes once more letting the might burn out of his star on his head out to his paws. It took alot less time as the double shaped white and silver double bladed sword formed in his hands. As the two engaged Sage Heart smiled watching his new son proudly as Lifeheart blocked a overhead shot as her horn glowed illuminating red as she hit Shimmers arm with the fire elemental as Shimmers cried out in pain. "Ow!" Shimmers said backing away as she could feel Shimmers slightly hurt feelings. "Shimmers, you always need to be prepared against any element cause some like myself can use multiple elements." She warned as Shimmers turned towards her still lifting his sword towards her. "Shimmers, use your light elemental sweety, it has the power to heal, try it." She said smiling at him as Shimmers smiled back and realized, she wasn't trying to hurt him, just teach him as he calmed down. The nasty burn on his right paw continued to pump in pain but Shimmers nonetheless closed his eyes and concentrated the energy from the star on his head toward his right paw. "That's it Shimmers! Keep doing it!" Shimmers felt his heart race at that praise as he fed off of it and he felt the energy cool down the pain as it glowed temporarily around the burn till it stopped glowing showing it completely healed. "Mom, I did it! Did you two see that?" He said smiling as Sage Heart also smiled. "Shimmeringstar, even Loveheart and Confidence have never learned to master there elementals that fast, that quickly, its truly amazing how much progression your getting." Sage Heart said as Lifeheart nodded in whole hearted approval. "If this is why they call you the chosen one, bad guy's everywhere should be very scared of you." Lifeheart said smiling. "Now let's continue, and this time try to project your light out in beams of energy." Lifeheart dashed towards Shimmers already attacking him as Shimmers lifted up his sword. "Hey wait a minute mom." Shimmers said blocking her sword but smiled nonetheless as he exchanged blows with her sword to sword. "I told you, you always have to be prepared for this, now brace yourself." SHe said as her horn started glowing again, but this time black coming out of it as it fired towards Shimmers who side stepped barely avoided that as it hit the cloud banks as Lifeheart kept him distracted continually sword swiping at him. "Now I got you." She said in a playful but slightly serious tone. "Hehe you haven't even touched me yet." Shimmers said parrying her sword away and countered with a over head strike which she blocked. "Awarenesss Shimmers, do you think that last blast I did was for you?" She said grinning as Shimmers felt something rake against his back as he howled in pain and quickly did a back flip away from her. When he looked at her grabbing his back side, his eyes wide with worry when he saw what looked like dead animated bodies. "Now, your light elemental should be able to counter the negative energy I just made to conjer these. Now Shimmers, concentrate and use your light energy once more. I am going to push you to your limits till you can't go anymore!" Shimmers smiled as he closed his eyes concentrating with the two beings quickly approaching him, but his light energy elemental shimmered much more brightly this time around his shoulders and landed down at his paws as he aimed and fired. "Light of love send these creatures back from where they came!" Shimmers shouted as a bright light enveloped his sandy furry paws and he aimed his hands forward with open hands seperately with his paws now facing forward from his body pointing at the dead bodies unleashing a bright light that hit both of them with such violent force, the two creatures cried out in pain as they quickly disappeared. Shimmers then used the excess energy towards his back where he was slashed open and bleeding slightly, and once more the wounds healed just like before as Shimmers panted slightly more tired. "Very impressive!" Lifeheart said smiling clapping along with Sage Heart as Shimmers giggled. "Now let's continue Shimmers." She said dashing towards Shimmers as Shimmers barely avoided the belly sword strike and avoided another. Shimmers star on his head glowed once more forming the duo edged swords in his paws as he avoided a third over head strike, then blocked the fourth side strike. 'Your getting much faster, excellent!" She said as she went all out on him as Shimmers had her sword blocked overhead for a moment. Her unicorn began to glow red again, but before she could do anything. Shimmers closed his eyes and heaved her sword back hard knocking her on her back in front of him about five feet back as her horn stopped glowing. Shimmers felt bad the moment he did that. "Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so rough." He said running towards her. "Are you okay?" He said kneeling beside her. "I'm fine Shimmers," She said smiling as she took his paw pulling her to her feet. "You are learning very fast. You are very gifted. At this rate, you will have this elemental mastered in less than a week. She said. "Thanks, but the star on my head feels really sore now," Shimmers said rubbing it. "I feel I over worked it and I feel a bit tired after that." He admitted. "That's a good thing Shimmers, your exercising a new muscle, and for it to be sore is good." Lifeheart pointed out. "But allow it to rest for the rest of the day then will resume tomorrow again spending the day with you if that's okay." She said smiling. "I would love that!" Shimmers said happily. "Thank you so much for training me. I promise I won't let you down." He said as Lifeheart sensed his doubt go down a bit, not completely but this was very good as she placed her paws on Shimmers shoulders as Sage Heart playfully rubbed his ears making Shimmers laugh out loud. "Hey Noeoehehehhe!" Lifeheart also smiled scratching him playfully underneath the chin as Shimmers didnt resist the momentary affection. After this was done, Lifeheart pointed out. "Hey Shimmers, aren't you a little late to meet Loveheart at the stare battle center?" Shimmers eyes went wide open. "Oh shit! Your right!" Shimmers said as he looked around momentarily. Lifeheart sensing his loss of direction. "Relax Shimmers, Carelot is a big place, will walk you there." She said kindly. "Thank you." Shimmers said as both there swords disappeared as Shimmers this time held there paws and walked with them which made the two smile . These two felt good having a new son, and one who didn't mind there open affections. ------------------------------------ Lifeheart, Sage Heart, and Shimmers arrived at the stare battle center as Lifeheart waived him goodbye as Sage heart and her disappeared. "So do you think that made a difference?" Sage Heart asked. "You know about him doubting and all of that?" He said. "Yes," Lifeheart replied. "His doubt is still there Sage Heart bear, but I felt a small part of it leave his mind at the end of our training inside his mind." She said smiling. "Oh." Sage Heart said sounding disappointed. "Remember Sage Heart this is going to be a process, not like instant rice. So I suggest we keep meeting with him each morning till that doubt is gone." Lifeheart said determinedly. "Yeah, it would be nice to still meet with him even after his doubt is gone." Sage heart said. "I love being around him." He admitted. "I'm sure he would love that too Sage Heart bear." Lifeheart smiled as the two went home to rest. Shimmers on the other hand went into the center and found Loveheart bear who was hitting his targets on point. "Oh there you are!" Loveheart said as he stopped momentarily as also the others there stopped acknowdging Shimmers presence along with Sweetheart and Confidence. Shimmers looked a bit embarrssed by the attention. "Hi everyone, you guy's don't have to stop on my account." Shimmers waved at them. "Of course we do, your still the latest new member of the carebear family, and everyone here wants to see it when your tummy symbol lights up." Trueheart said waving at Shimmers. Shimmers felt a bit of anxiety. "Trueheart, I like the fact you don't give up on me, but honestly what makes you think this day will be any different than the others? I honestly don't feel any different about this, if anything I feel mightily discouraged not being able to tap into my caring energy." Shimmers said looking down. Trueheart walked over to him along with Loveheart as they both consoled him. "Shimmers, you can't give up like that sportsfan." Champ bear said. "You have no idea the impact you have had on all of us have you?" Said Champ bear smiling. Shimmers only shrugged. "You stood up for Braveheart, you came back to us, and despite the pain your feeling, you still keep rolling. That's an inspiration to me sports fan. Not to mention the problems I am having at home." He said looking down but quickly wiped his head to knock that off. "Yeah Sports fan," Grumpy bear said folding his arms. "I might complain at times, but like me you gotta keep at it Shimmers." "That's right never give up Shimmers." Tenderheart said raising his paw as Braveheart growled as that made Shimmers laugh. "You guy's don't ever give up on me do you?" Shimmers said smiling. "Nope, and we won't let you give up on yourself Shimmers." Trueheart said. "Now there's your target, like before just relax your mind, close your eyes, think nice thoughts, avoid the negative ones, and let her rip!" Trueheart said. Shimmers groaned but he didn't want to let his mate or the family down for lack of trying. Even though he didn't feel anything, he took a deep breath and began to calm his mind. He spread his legs out planting his feet firmly down to the ground and began squeezing his tummy symbol muscles as his yellow symbol was glowing. "Come on Shimmers! You got this!" Braveheart shouted. "Here here! Where all here watching you sports fan! I believe you can do anything!" Champ bear said as Shimmers tummy symbol began to light up brightly as Shimmers opened his eyes and tried to unleash the energy. It fired! But what started off at about half energy around his tummy symbol sadly dissipated, and barely hitting and shaking the target, but not enough to make the beastly target animate. "Hmmpp, why is this so hard for me?" Shimmers said slamming his paw down hard against his symbol as Loveheart approached him. "Hey love don't be so hard on yourself, it took me four days before before my symbol lit up and it took even longer to control it." Loveheart bear said. "I'm sorry Loveheart, everyone, while I have overcome impossible odds my entire life, I don't think this is going to be one of them. I tried everything I could think of, and well, you all saw the result." Shimmers groaned. "Whoever heard of a carebear that can't use his own tummy symbol?" "Shimmers you can't expect to learn everything in such short times." Trueheart said gently. "Honestly Trueheart, I appreciate your unconditional support, but let's face facts. I am only good as your protector in fighting and using my own natural powers. This tummy symbol practice is just not meant to be with me." Shimmers said a bit sad. "Speaking of which, I think I want to train and start getting back in shape, its been four days and I haven't gotten any normal exercise of the routine I am actually used to. At least that I can be useful with." Shimmers said as he began to leave followed by all the carebears and cousins. "Huh? You don't need to waste your time on me guy's. I'm just going to go and start my physical training." "Shimmers, we don't want you giving up on this, but for today I think we can allow you not to go to tummy practice symbol anymore. But." Trueheart said crossing her arms as Shimmers groaned. "If your going to train, we all want to watch you." "Yay sports fan!" Champ bear said jumpin up into the air clapping his ankles together then landing back down. "I always wanted to see you train sports fan." "Huh? Why? Its just my usual daily routine I use to keep in shape." Shimmers said shrugging. "Yes, but love, that's the thing, not to bring back bad memories or anything, but when you attacked us, you single handedly defeated not just me, you also beat Confidence, and Sweetheart all at the same time and still kept going batting my parents. I am very curious to see what you do to keep in such incredible shape." Loveheart admitted as Shimmers smiled. "Well, if you all want to see how I train I'll gladly show you, but I will warn you its not a easy regiment." Shimmers said. "That's okay Shimmers, will join you and will follow your lead." Champ bear said Shimmers smiled. "Okay, but you bears and cousins have no idea what your in for. Try to keep up if you can." Shimmers said as he led them to his and Loveheart's house joggng as everyone followed him. ----------------------------- Shimmers was already showing everyone what he did, he did twenty five wide push ups, 20 mid, and 10 triangle push ups. Most of the bears and cousins couldn't even do half of that while Loveheart and the other magi present were the only ones able to keep up. Shimmers also did twenty sit ups, and 15 crunchers, then did about fifteen jumping jacks. Loveheart, Passion, Confidence, all easily kept up, while Sweetheart barely managed to keep up sweating from head to toe in exhaustion. Then Shimmers started stretching his arms, and legs in various ways as everyone was able to do that as Shimmers cracked his back reaching up in the air with his arms. "Then after all of that, I practice with my fists, kicks, and my weapon." Shimmers said not even breaking a sweat as the others groaned even Champ bear barely able to keep up. "Shimmers were pooped," Tenderheart bear said breathing heavily. "Yeah, do you mind if we just watch you maybe do your fighting forms or do a practice fight with someone?" "That's a great idea Tenderheart bear." Confidence said stepping up. "I would love to." As if everyone was ignoring her Aqua bear interrupted. "Shimmers, would you mind doing a match with your mate Loveheart bear?" Aqua bear said. "Yeah, I would love to see that! The leader of the magi against our very own chosen one!" Champ bear said as Confidence crossd her arms in annoyance. "Whoa guy's relax, I just wanted to show you guy's what I do on a daily basis, not train one on one with anyone." Shimmers said quickly discouraging that idea as there was some groaning and even some booing. "Hey who booed?" Shimmers said looking around. "I did." Loveheart bear said raising his paw. "Oh really? Why would you boo your own husband?" Shimmers said not liking that one bit crossing his arms. "Because, you have everyone here, all your friends and family, and there all supporting you, and you can't even at least give them a show? Its polite to at least show something they want to see in return Shimmers. Of course that is unless your afraid of getting SHOCKED!" He shouted at the end grinning as lightning danced around his body from his unicorn star. "Now now Loveheart, I think Shimmers is right," Trueheart said interceding as there were several aww's of disapproval in the crowd. "He wanted to show you his training regiment and he's doing that. He shouldn't have to feel pressured into a practice fight with you." Loveheart bear saw the point as the lightning stopped dancing around his body as he felt bad realizing what he just did along with the crowd. "Oh man, what a bummer, even I wanted to see who the best is between these two," Grumpy bear said folding his arms. "But I guess now will never know." Shimmers saw the disappointed looks on there faces so he decided to make them happy. "You all want to see who the best is between us?" Shimmers said stepping up to the crowd then facing Loveheart bear as this got the attention of the crowd. "I accept your challenge Loveheart bear, and no I'm not afraid of being shocked, I'm just concerned I might humiliate you." Shimmers said getting nuzzle to nuzzle with his mate as Loveheart smirked. "Your on Shimmers! But be warned, I won't be easy to defeat." Loveheart said nuzzling noses with him making Shimmers blush. "Talk is cheap leader of the magi, now put up or shut up." Shimmers said as Trueheart looked at this a bit alarmed, but then sighed since she was also curious to see who was the better fighter between the two as Confidence crossed her arms annoyed feeling ignored. The two then went to a more open cloud field where everyone was watching as Loveheart and Shimmers had plently of cloud field to work with as they now stood facing each other. "This battle is going to go on till one submits or the fight is called off. Now remember you two this is a friendly match, so don't hurt each other okay?" Trueheart said as both fighters nodded as Trueheart then went towards the crowd. "Now, go!" Loveheart's lightning cackled as he developed his lightning broad sword which he held with both paws and pointed it at Shimmers. Shimmers just activated his duo red saber as he got into a defensive position. Loveheart stepped and struck first with a over head strike which Shimmers simply side stepped and kicked Loveheart bear in the ribs as Loveheart out of anger tried to kick him back. Shimmers not only avoided the kick, he also back handed Loveheart bear in the face hard making him grimace in pain as Shimmers followed up with a over head strike which Loveheart bear barely managed to block as Shimmers followed up with a turn around kick hitting Loveheart bear in the chest at a very fast velocity as Loveheart winced back in pain. "Shimmers not so hard, take it easy." Trueheart said concerned as Loveheart rubbed his chest. "Its okay Trueheart, this is exactly how I want my Shimmers to bring it!" Loveheart bear said as he channeled lightning through his body through his sword as it began to whish wash back and forth with consistent swooshes upon his body with the sword. "You asked for it Shimmers! Lightning strike!" He shouted swinging his sword up in the air then striking the ground hard as lightning quickly went towards Shimmers feet as Shimmers gritted his teeth feeling the lightning searing through his body till he somehow managed to block the lightning with his duo red saber collecting the energy at the hilt letting it build momentarily as Loveheart bear shot a electrical energy ball at Shimmers which Shimmers managed to slice in half and aimed his saber at Loveheart bear returning the stored kinetic energy of the lightning as Loveheart bear barely lifted his sword in time to block it. "Is that all you got Loveheart? Cause if so you minus well quit now." Shimmers said smirking since this was something he was very good at. "Don't get cocky Shimmers! You forget who your DEALING WITH!" He said as he flew up in the air as Shimmers looked at him shocked not expecting that with his sword as he swung down hitting down with Shimmers barely avoiding it. "Lightning Strike!" This time hit was a direct hit as Shimmers was being shocked from head to toe shouting out in pain for about three seconds before the lightning dissipated as Shimmers body hit the floor. Loveheart bear then followed that up with a overhead strike as Trueheart stood up alarmed fearful Loveheart might cut Shimmers open till she saw Shimmers block his sword with his saber as Loveheart tried to press down tapping into his lightning hitting Shimmers body at times indirectly, "Do you give up Shimmers? Better say so now before this get's more intense!" He smirked pressing his advantage. Shimmers reached down with one paw pushing Loveheart away with the heart giving him time to recoup as he lifted up his feet and kicked hard landing on his feet. "Never Loveheart bear," Shimmers smirked as he had some lightning burns on his body. Loveheart bear then came at him again trying to hit the ground again. "Lightning Strike!" He shouted as Shimmers lifted up his saber and clashed swords with Loveheart bear preventing him from hitting the ground. When Loveheart landed with his two feet still trying to hit the ground, Shimmers cupped his own two hands together. "Kashikakayha!" Shimmers shouted knocking Loveheart from his side in a direct violent hit as he closed his eyes grimacing in pain as his lime green body fell to the ground violently. "There we go!" Shimmers shouted victoriously. Loveheart tried to get up once more with his body wobbling, with his sword in hand as Shimmers looked at him surprised that he could even do that till his legs buckled and he fell to the clouds beneath him as the crowd cheered. "The winner of this practice round is Shimmeringstar!" Trueheart said relieved glad the fight was over as the crowd roared. "What a great battle!" Grumpy bear said. "You got it sports fan! Shimmers is indeed powerful!" Champ bear said. Shimmers while he caught up in the moment, he felt a bit guilty as he just realized what he did as he quickly ran over to Loveheart bear as the crowd silenced. "Loveheart bear, are you okay?" Shimmers asked as he pulled him up with one paw seeing the marks on his body. "Yeah, I'm good Shimmers." Loveheart bear said cleaning himself off. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to over do it like that." Shimmers said feeling bad as Loveheart bear looked at him. "Don't be Shimmers, I'm glad you went all out on me," Loveheart bear said smiling. "Don't worry I'm not upset with you, it was a good practice." He admitted. "Nice work in winning." He said smiling at him. "Thanks." Shimmers said looking nervous as they tended to the crowd. Shimmers being near Loveheart his star began to glow slightly and Shimmers felt it but kept it to himself. "Shimmers is the better out of us two," Loveheart said pointing towards his mate lifting up his arm in achknowdgemet as the crowd cheered. Loveheart also felt a warmth upon his forehead as his star glowed momentarily as the two were holding paws. Both looked at each other astonished, but decided for now to tend to the crowd as they walked back. "Hey Shimmers, do you think you would be up for one more fight?" Confidence asked. "Oh give it up Confidence, we both know why you want to fight Shimmers." Champ bear said crossly which angered the fennec. "Mind your business Champ bear, and no its not like before, me and Shimmers made up." She said as Champ bear rolled his eyes along with others looking in disapproval as this hurt her a bit as she fought back a tear. "You don't listen to me if you think this negatively of me." She said about to turn till Shimmers took notice and saw the whole thing. "Excuse me a moment Loveheart." Shimmers said grabbing Confidence's arm as she turned about grabbing that paw with both hands ready to flip Champ bear till she saw who it was and relented. "Shimmers!" She said as she quickly let go realizing her mistake. "I'm sorry its just that you startled me." She said smiling. "Its okay, EVERYONE! I want to make one thing clear here." Shimmers said as he walked the fennec over standing next to Loveheart bear as the crowd quieted with Champ bear looking at his wife still annoyed. "I want everyone to understand, I have no beef with anyone here, the magi, all the magi including Confidence heart fennec are my family. I have no problems with her, or any of them. All fighting you saw before with us was forgiven. That means, I don't want any of of you fighting or making the magi's feel any less welcome here just because we had our differences. Your to treat them with the same love, and respect as you all have treated me with. If we're to be one family, we can't be fighting amongst ourselves anymore." Shimmers said looking directly at Champ bear who looked at Shimmers in shock and shame as he lowered his head shamefully. Shimmers placed his hand on Champ's shoulders. "Its okay sports fan, now don't you think its time you and Confidence make up? I know you love her." Champ bear sighed but smiled and approached Confidence. "Confidence, I'm sorry for being mean to you. Your my wife, and I didn't do my part in supporting you. I'm sorry." He said looking at her. "Its okay, Champ bear, I haven't been exactly he ideal example of being a good wife either," Confidence said. "So I guess that makes us both wrong. What do you say we put this behind us and start afresh okay?" Confidence said gently. "Yes! I missed you!" Champ bear said hugging her tightly as he cried a bit as she was caught off guard by this, but she also cried a bit tearfully as she hugged him back tightly. "I love you Champ bear. your my one and only!" She said picking him up and kissing him as everyone clapped and awed at this site. "Now this is what the carebear family is about." Trueheart said proudly wiping a proud tear from her eye. After Confidence and Champ bear were done hugging, Confidence held Champ bear's paws. "Now let's go home." She said smiling. "Whoa wait a minute Confidence," Shimmers said smiling. "Didn't you keep whining about wanting to fight me in a practice battle?" He said. "Yes, but not after today, besides you already battled Loveheart and it would not be fair to make you fight a second time." Confidence pointed out. "Oh? Is the little fennec scared now?" Shimmers smirked. Confidence then turned and faced Shimmers. "Shimmers, don't call me little fenec, I really don't being called 'little fennec.' She said crossing her arms. "Oh I'm sorry, I meant tiny whiny wittle fennec. I understand though, you don't want none of this." Shimmers said pointing to himself as the fennec got up nose to nose with him but with a determined look in her eyes as her tails raised behind her. "Your on Shimmers, but don't cry after I beat you down to the clouds!" She shouted. "There's that fire," Shimmers said proudly nuzzling noses with her. "Now, let's get this on." Shimmers said stepping back as both got ready. "Oh wow another practice fight? Its like Christmas in July again! I'm watching this!" Grumpy bear said as others also looked on anxiously as Trueheart groaned, but knew they were going to fight one way or the other, with or without her consent so she went out into the middle of the open cloud field once more. "Okay you two know the rules, have fun, and may the best fighter win. Now," She stepped back. "GO!" She shouted as the crowd began cheering. Confidence actvated her shin guards, and forearm guards as she dashed after Shimmers who had his duo red sword ready. Shimmers tried a quick side strike but she blocked it easily with her shin guard and parried it back as her tails spun and rammed into Shimmers knocking him over as she disappeared. Shimmers then did his usual lifting of his legs and kicking himself upright to his feet but when he looked he saw her nowhere. "Where did she go? " Grumpy said. "She is fast!" "That's my fennec." Champ bear said proudly crossing his arms obviously rooting for his wife. Before Shimmers could see it, like a blur of speed, it glimmered to his left for a second as a dashing body came flying towards him. Shimmers then lifted his paws up slowing her way down using the heart just enough so everyone could see her as he tried to blast her with his Kashikakayha, but she avoided it and disappeared again. "Oh come on!" Shimmers groaned as everyone looked around for her worriedly obviously caught off guard by this as he soon felt a sharp kick to his back side as he cried out in pain as this was followed up with another strike to his lower kidneys with a hard blow from one of her tails as Shimmers turned and swiped but got nothing but air as Confidence disapeared again. "Oh so you want to play it like that huh?" Shimmers then closed his eyes and just sat there as this alerted everyone. "What is he doing? This is not the time to be sitting around." Loveheart said worriedly knowing very well what Confidence could do. Things remained silent for a moment till they heard like a whisping crashing sound up in the air like a fast plane coming down, Shimmers timed it perfectly as he lifted up his saber blocking a hard violent knee to the face quickly wrapping one leg around hers locking her in as she tried to fly up in the air, but Shimmers hung on for dear life has he somehow managed to wrap his other arm around her throat and began to choke her hard as her two tails were spinning out of control as she struggled to try to make Shimmers let go whipping her tails against his back side. But Shimmers didn't release his choke hold taking the punishment as she was beginning to suffocate till the two eventually crashed into the clouds. With the cloud dust dissipated, they saw Confidence's tails whapping back and forth against Shimmers back making it red, even bleed a bit, but Shimmers used his body weight to his advantage and continued to choke her out. "He did it! Somehow he turned the tables on her!" Grumpy bear shouted. "Yeah Shimmers way to go!" As Champ bear looked on in concern. Trueheart quickly went to intercede and sat in front of Confidence. "Confidence, I know you can't breath, but if you give up just tap one of your arms down three times." Confidence still would refuse to give up trying to get up one last time hitting Shimmers hard in the back but Shimmers refused to let go, as he pressed his body weight down even on her neck with his arm wrapped around her throat as her face turned a slight red as her body fell to the ground along with her tails. "Confidence! Please, just give up! I don't want to see you like this!" Champ bear said almost tearfully. As if she listened, she tapped her right paw down three times as Shimmers immediately let go and didn't celebrate although the crowd cheered when Trueheart announced who the winner was. Shimmers gently sat her up as she took in air restoring her face to her normal yellow color as Champ bear came up to her pushing Shimmers out of the way. "Get away from her! Confidence are you okay?" He asked looking at Shimmers with disdain. "Yeah, Champ bear I'm fine." She said regaining her breath as she stood up as the crowd cheered. "Shimmers you could of hurt my wife!" Champ bear shouted at him till his wife stopped him. "Champ bear, dont be upset, it was a good fight, and he lured me in. He didn't do it to hurt me, this is how we practice." She said. "Please, don't be mad at him hun, I wanted this fight, if you want to blame anyone, then blame me. I didn't mean to make you worry." She said hugging him. "Oh, okay sports fan, I'm just glad your okay." He said hugging her tightly before turning to Shimmers. "I'm sorry for yelling at you Shimmers, I was just worried for my wife." He said looking down. "Its okay Champ bear, its all good. Boy your tails hurt Confidence." Shimmers said rubbing his back as they all busted up laughing. "Shimmers you should go see Redemptionheart bear, I'm sure she has some medicine ointment that can help." Trueheart said. "Okay, I think I'll do that Trueheart, By the way Confidence great fight. Your alot tougher than the last time we faced." Shimmers said as she blushed. "Thank you Shimmers, that means alot coming from you." She said as Confidence and Champ bear turned and went home, as the crowd also dispersed. Loveheart walked Shimmers over to the clinic as he saw Redemptionheart bear. She took a look at his back and shuttered at the welts in his back. "Yikes Shimmers, those look nasty, and you barely been a carebear for four days." She pointed out. "Luckily for you, I have some Ointment, but also Guidance Heart can help. Wait here." She said as she grabbed her heartphone and dialed a number in and waited with the phone in her ear. "Um yes, Guidance? This is Redemtionheart bear hun, do you think you can stop by my clinic? I have a patient that can use some of your healing power. You can? Great. Huh? You want Anger Heart to come over too? Sure he is more than welcome to as well." Then she hung up. "Now wait here Shimmers, will have you good as new." "Thanks Redemptionheart bear." Shimmers said smiling. Then they heard someone entering. "Oh hey honey!" She said quickly going to hug Passion as he kissed her and picked her up. "Hey, I'm here to see you like you wanted." Passion said with her laughing as he tickled her belly. He entered and saw Shimmers. "Oh hi there Shimmers, I heard about your battle with Loveheart and Confidence I wish I would of seen it! I heard you won both fights." He said making Shimmers blush as his mate Loveheart looked at Passion annoyed who was in the waiting room. "Yeah, they both did great," Shimmers said rubbing the back of his head nervously. "Confidence's tail though really hurt my back today though. She's alot tougher to face than before." Shimmers said moving a bit but gritted his teeth when he felt his back rubbing raw against the fresh wounds on his back side. "I bet it was most epic Shimmers," Passion heart said. "How about tomorrow you fight me in a practice battle? I would love to test your skills against mine." He said looking at Shimmers. "Challenge accepted Passion heart, I'll meet you at the sametime tomorrow as I did Loveheart and Confidence." Shimmers said smiling. "Its a go then." Passion Heart said as he placed his wife down as she playfuly tickled his ribs as he giggled and kissed her. Then it was shortly after that, they saw Anger Heart fox, and Guidance Heart racoon enter the clinic. "Hi there everyone, we got here as soon as we could," Guidance said looking at Redemptionheart bear. "So, who's the one that needs my help with my healing powers?" "Its Shimmers," Redemptionheart bear said. "He got pretty whipped up from a battle earlier with Confidence Heart fennec." "Hi Shimmers," Guidance heart said as she walked over to Shimmers. "So, where do you need healing?" She asked. "My back please." Shimmers said politely as her paws began to glow and gently placed them on Shimmers back. Shimmers felt it cold at first, then warm, then feelings of soothness over took his back. "So Shimmers, I heard you battled with Confidence, I bet that was a mistake." He said smirking at him. "Hey, I won didn't I?" Shimmers said looking slightly annoyed at the three tail fox. "Yeah you got lucky, if that were me, you wouldn't of stood a chance." He said as his tails glowed with fire then cooled back to normal with them waiving behind his back. "Careful Anger heart, you don't know who your dealing with." Shimmers said in a warning type tone. "What? I'm just stating the facts oh so called chosen one." He said as his paw showed red in it then it disappeared. It was at this point that Guidance just got done. "There, all healed." Guidance heart said smiling as Shimmers stood there smiling. "Thanks Guidance Heart, that feels alot better. Matter of fact," Shimmers said as he looked in the mirror. Its as if I was never hit to begin with." He said amazed. "Let's go hun, I'm getting bored, its obvious Shimmers isn't taking any new challengers." Anger Heart said waiving his tail high above his head. "You want to fight me tomorrow in a practice bout Anger Heart?" Shimmers said approaching him. "Hey, you said I could challenge you first." Passion protested. "Not to worry Passion Heart, after I face you, I'm going to take this little fox boy on." Shimmers said looking at alex. "HEY WHO ARE YOU CALLING FOXBOY?" Anger Heart snapped narrowing his eyes at Shimmers. "Shimmers, don't you think your over doing it a bit? I mean I know your confident and very good, but shouldn't you take it easy?" Loveheart said in a concerned tone. "You heard me Anger Heart." Shimmers said defiantly. "Be careful bear boy, I wouldn't want to scorch that handsome body of yours." He said in a challenging tone. "Put your money with your mouth is three tailed fox, either accept my challenge, or step down." Shimmers said as they both exchanged hostile gazes till Anger Heart reached out his paw. "Okay Shimmers, you got a battle, but I'm not responsible if I place you here." He said in a warning tone. Shimmers smacked his paw away. "I'll still beat you, but I won't place you in here." Shimmers said kindly. "Your my family, but I promise it will be a good battle." Shimmers said winking at Guidance Heart who sighed relief. "Okay you two, enough for tonight, we need to go now Anger Heart." Guidance Heart said as the two left the clinic. "Shimmers, what was that about? Why are you fighting all the magi?" Loveheart said in a wondering worried tone. "Isn't that what you magi do mostly before you joined the carebear family Loveheart? Train, and fight?" Shimmers asked. "Well yes, we did that alot, but we also train with the carebears to using our tummy symbols." He said as his symbol glowed momentarily before it went back to normal. "Well, since I'm worthless in that regard, I figure I minus well test the limits of my strengths since fighting is something I know I can do well at," Shimmers said. "At least in this regard I can do my part around here." Shimmers said. Redemptionheart then turned towards Shimmers. "Shimmers, your not worthless." She said looking at him concerned. "Yeah love, you shouldn't be so down on yourself." Loveheart bear said grasping his hand with Passionheart nodding in agreement. "Its the only way I know how to be guy's." Shimmers said defenisively. "Its the only way I lived, train to fight, survive, and beat each and every opponent that I can." Shimmers said as he stood up. "Besides, it might be months or even years before I learn how to use my caring power." Shimmers then turned and faced Redemptionheart bear. "Thank you for the treatment Redemptionheart bear. Loveheart bear, ready to go home?" "Yes my love, I'm ready to go home with you." Loveheart bear said smiling and holding Shimmers paw squeezing it lovingly as Shimmers smiled back as the two walked home together enjoying the peace of the night. -------------------------------- Lifeheart and Sage Heart bear were at home as the two discussed Shimmers predicament. "Did you hear about Shimmers my dear? He trained with our kids and beat Loveheart, and Confidence." Sage Heart bear said. "I heard it was a incredible battle, I wish we could of been there to see it." Sage Heart bear said smiling till he noticed the frown on her face. "What's wrong?" "If Shimmers is anything like our kids he probably used his unicorn magic when it was already tapped out for today," She said a bit worriedly. "I told him to take it easy with that magic since his body is still trying to get used to it." She mused. "Um, can't you probe his mind to see if he did use it today or not?" Sage Heart bear pointed out. "I have, but I sensed no thoughts of him using those powers, or twinges of guilt in his mind if he did use them." Lifeheart said. "So I honestly have no way of telling if he did or didn't use those powers today till I see him tomorrow when we train again." Lifeheart sighed. "Lifeheart, I'm sure he didn't use his unicorn powers," Sage Heart bear. "Our own kids might of disobeyed, but Shimmers is a good cub, he admires you. Don't you see that? Besides, given how powerful he already is I highly doubt he even needed that unicorn power to win those two fights." Sage Heart bear said confidently. "I hope for your sake you are right Sage Heart bear. Cause if he did over strain his star upon on his head, then that will set back his training for weeks till it properly heals and as it is, we need to keep training him in preperation of Noheart." She said worriedly as Sage Heart held paws with her rubbing them affectionately till the two kissed. "You worry to much for him Lifeheart," Sage Heart said. "Now come on, its late, and we need to get to bed." He said as the two went to bed in there white pajamas. garments. ------------------------------------------ Shimmers and Loveheart entered the house as the two showered together scrubbing each other as Shimmers laughed out loud when Loveheart made a funny face imitating Anger Heart fox and his mocking words. "Yeah, that's a damn good imitation of him Loveheart bear." Shimmers said giggling. "He can be such a hot head at times," Loveheart bear said rolling his eyes as he let the shower run down the tuft of his forehead fur. "Now turn around, I need to scrub your back love." Shimmers did what he asked as he scrubbed his back gently behind his legs as well. "Now lift up one foot paw at a time and I'll scrub them clean for you." Shimmers gulped but did as he asked as he began laughing loudly the moment he began scrubbing. "Ohh ticklish huh? Ootchie coochie coo!" He said scrubbing between his toes. "Arrahahstahahap that!" Shimmers giggled but still allowed him to keep going for a good minute. "Now for the other foot." Loveheart smirked. Shimmers groaned but did what he asked. Loveheart scrubbed his foot harder this time as Shimmers shrieked in laughter. "Nohohohhahahahaha!" Shimmers smiled happily letting Loveheart scrub his foot paw front and back, and between his toes till he finally stopped. "There, all clean." Loveheart bear said turning off the shower. When he turned, he felt Shimmers grab him and kiss him deeply as Loveheart blushed on his cheeks. "Aww, feeling affectionate I see." Loveheart said smiling happily. "Loveheart, thanks for marrying me," Shimmers said happily. "Without you, I can't picture how things could be. You make me.." "Yes?" Loveheart said looking into his eyes. "I make you what?" "Happy!" Shimmers said as a joyful tear went down his cheek as he hugged him tightly. "Aww, I love you too my dear sweet Shimmers." Loveheart bear said smiling hugging him back. "Now time to dry off and have some more fun tonight tying you up." He said nuzzling noses with you. "Hey no please, not tonight. I'm tired." Shimmers whined. "Nu-uhuhuh, who's the dominant one here hmmm?" Loveheart bear said nuzzling noses wtiith him. "You are." Shimmers said blushing. "That's right, now get on that bed my cute bear boy." He teased as Shimmers blushed a bright red on his cheek. After drying off, he did what Loveheart bear asked and he was immediately shackled down, but this time Shimmers was in a helpless sitting position with his arms trapped above his head and his legs spread out. "Hehe now its time for some fun." Loveheart said as he began scratching his under arms up and down as he looked into Shimmers eyes happily. "ArrahaahahNooeehhahaheeheLovheehehart plehehheas anywherhe but thehehehereheheehee!" Shimmers said with his under arms wiggling back and forth. Loveheart then unsheathed his natural claws tickle tapping Shimmers under arms up and down as Shimmers just went hysterical. "ArahahahahhahaNoeoehehehaaheeheheehepleehahahahahahaha!" Shimmers begged as he scratched his chin furiously back and forth against his chest from one side to the other. "Hehehe, you beg me to stop, but I can tell your loving this aren't you my cute ticklish teddy bear." He taunted nuzzling noses with him as he felt something poking his belly. "Oh, excited already? Well then why wait?" Loveheart giggled as he then tended to Shimmers cock rubbing his balls and squeezing his cock shaft getting him fully erect as heard Shimmers moan and kept it up till he was fully erect. "Now that your all nice and hard its time for you to make me yours hehehe." Shimmers looked at him blushing while smiling as Loveheart got in position and took his cock into his anus all the way up to his rectum as Shimmers moaned with Loveheart now sitting comfortably on his legs as he continued tickling Shimmers under arms. "ArraaaahahahahaahNoohhoaNoeoehahahaOhhh! Ohhh Plehehehease eeheheehehahahahaha!" Loveheart bear giggled continuing to spider tickle his under arms gleefully up and down and squeezed his cock in him with his butt muscles and rocking back and forth as he tickled his ribs up and down till he returned the claws snaking up to his under arms. "EeeheheehLovehehheart plehehehease your ahahahagoing to mahahahake me cuhuhuhum!" Shimmers begged as he summonted two floating feathers to tickle SHimmers balls. "Heheheyees I know!" Loveheart bear giggled as Shimmers moaned helplessly as his poor crack was trapped wiggling back and forth in his butthole till he came violently inside Loveheart helplessly as he blushed on his cheeks. "Hehehe did that feel good Shimmers?" He said scratching Shimmers underneath the chin playfully as Shimmers just melted. "Yehehehes Loveheart, it still feels good." He confessed hotly blushing on his cheeks. "In that case," Loveheart bear again started tickling his under arms up and down as Shimmers was uber sensitive now as he wiped his chin against his chest. "Ootchie cootchey coo!" He said in a childish manner knowing Shimmers could't stand that teasing but secretly loving every bit of it as he whailed in ticklish laughter as his cock got excited again with Loveheart rocking on it. He kept spider tickling him up and down for the next ten minutes till Shimmers came again exploding in his butthole. "Ohhh plehehhease Loveheart, no more, I cahahan't stahahand this!" Shimmers confessed. "You can, and you will, now time to laugh and exercise those lungs of yours!" He said looking happily into his eyes. "Besides, I love hearing you giggle and beg. It turns me on hehehe."
