Once more over at Sage Heart's house, Lifeheart woke up in the middle of the night sensing Shimmers nightmare. She sighed after waking up but her horn glowed yellow as she overrode the evil wizards nightmarish dreams of him and Trueheart dying, and the magi not doing there part to protect the carebear family in the dream. As her dream over took it completely, she felt Shimmers panic and worry, turn into a smile on his lips as he slept soundly having sweet dreams of him and Trueheart walking together, her holding his paw and humming that walking song that Shimmers was giggling at. "You will not hurt him anymore Noheart, he doesn't belong to you anymore." She said seeing the wizard gazing, looking through his cauldron as the wizards eyes were glowing a nasty bright red as he kicked over his caulron as she giggled taunting Noheart before she herself returned to her sweet slumber with her husband still knocked out being the heavy sleeper that he was. ------------------------------------- The next day, Shimmers woke up first but soon after Loveheart woke up with Shimmers cock and Loveheart's cock flaccid with Shimmers belly full of the green bear's sticky cum on his belly and tummy fur. "Good morning sweety." Loveheart bear said blushing on his cheeks and kissing him then nuzzling noses with Shimmers smiling as Shimmers blushed looking deeply into his eyes giggling. "Did you sleep well?" Loveheart asked. "Yes," Shimmers said blushing. "I had a dream of me and Trueheart bear." He confessed. "Oh? Not that nasty nightmare I hope" He said getting up looking at him concerned. "Oh nono, she was holding paws with me singing that song. "Step one then two then three and four." Shimmers said blushing on his cheeks as both bears looked at each other then both laughed and the nursery rhyme together. "She was always so nice to you when you first arrived here hasn't she?" Loveheart inquired. "Yes, even before I was here, she is the one who invited me to join the carebear family," Shimmers said in a matter of fact kind of voice. "She also is the one who won't let me quit on my carebear stare practice." Shimmers groaned as Loveheart giggled tickling his under arms briefly. "Heyeenooeahahaha!" Shimmers giggled. "Well, its important," Loveheart bear argued. "Its important you learn how to use that caring power Shimmers. I know its hard, but you can't give up on it." Loveheart bear said looking at him in a serious tone. I know," Shimmers said looking away. "It just doesn't come naturally to me is all." Shimmers said. "You'll eventually nail it, but till then..." Loveheart started scratching his under arms up and down as Shimmers kept shaking and laughing. "Now stop looking like that or I might just keep you here all day." Loveheart threatened. Shimmers smirked. "Oh can we stay here Loveheart?" Shimmers said giggling. "Ohh you would love that wouldn't you?" Loveheart teased nuzzling noses with him. "Sorry sweety, but you got to resume your day. No avoiding your responsibilities." Loveheart bear said as Shimmers groaned then untying him using his unicorn magic as Shimmers rubbed his wrists. Loveheart bear got off of him, as Shimmers rubbed his ankles. This time being alot more slow and careful to get to his feet to get his balance since he had been tied down for eight hours once more. "Now' let's go take our shower together." Loveheart bear said pulling his arms so they met face to face as Loveheart bear held his paw as they both took there usual shower together scrubbing each other's bodies happily. Loveheart at one point rubbed the brush against his belly and balls cleaning him as Shimmers giggled happily at this. Shimmers cleaned his anus up along with his feet and under his arms soaking his head with caring shampoo rubbing his paws against his foreheard till he got rid of all itching on his scalp. The two bears then dried off giggling happily together as they snapped towels each other as each of them yelped in pain but still playful with one another till they both eventually hung there towels up to dry. One lime green with Loveheart's tummy symbol on it, and Shimmers sandy brown towel with his three pointed yellow star on it as well. That's when they both heard knocking at the door. Loveheart went to go and answer. ------------------------------------------- Lifeheart and Sage Heart bear got up and went to Shimmers house after they got ready in about a hour's time waking up well before Shimmers and Loveheart did. Lifeheart then turned to her husband and informed Sage Heart about Shimmers still doubting in his mind. While it was being ebbed away due to there current efforts, she explained she couldn't get to one area that seemed guarded, and locked tightly in Shimmers mind as if he didn't want anyone in there to see what was in there locked away in his mind. "That's terrible," Sage Heart bear said sadly. "Your still saying he's still guarded and doesn't trust in the carebear family completely yet? Not even us?" Sage Heart bear still looking at her shocked. "I'm afraid so my love," Lifeheart said. "But this requires patience, tolerance, and above all persistence. Remember we committed to him, are you having second thoughts about helping him?" Lifeheart said looking at him worriedly. "No, I would never give up on our son." Sage Heart bear as he stopped for a moment as Lifeheart unicorn smiled. "You do love him as if he was our own blood don't you?" Lifeheart said smiling as Sage Heart bear nodded blushing on his cheeks. "Yes I do Lifeheart. I can't help still being worried about his well being." Sage Heart bear said looking down. "That's good your worried for him Sage, I'm proud of you." Lifeheart said holding his paw as he smiled. "Why?" He asked bewildered by this. "You went from wanting us to spy on him, to not wanting him to run away, and your taking the time out of your day with me to spend with Shimmers again each day. Dont you see how sweet that is?" Lifeheart explaind smiling. "Yeah, but what else was I suppose to do? I cant say no to helping Shimmers." He said. "He needs me." He said. "He needs both of us." Lifeheart corrected gently. "Now, were here, let's get him." Lifeheart said as Sage Heart knocked on the door once more. Loveheart answered the door. "Oh hi mom and dad!" Loveheart said smiling and hugging them both. "Let me guess, your here to spend the day with Shimmers again?" "Why yes we are son," Sage Heart bear said. "Is he here?" "Yes he is." Loveheart bear said smiling as he opened the door as Shimmers stood right there. "Hi Shimmers," Lifeheart waived at him. "How's it going? Did you sleep well?" "Yes," Shimmers said waiving back but this time not as shyly. "I also had a wonderful time with Loveheart." He said nuzzling his nose against his mate's cheek. "Aww how cute." Lifeheart said. "Mom," Loveheart bear said blushing on his cheeks. "Quit it, your encouraging him." He said but not stopping Shimmers. "I haven't seen you this happy since your break up with Confidence." Lifeheart said. Loveheart's smile left his face. "Mom, how could you even say that?" He said none to happy as Lifeheart just realized what she just did. "Break up? What break up Loveheart?" Shimmers asked backing away from Loveheart momentarily. Loveheart bear sighed. "Shimmers, before us magi even joined the carebear family, me and Confidence were dating," Loveheart explained. "Things were going well between us till we joined the carebear famly, and she fell in love with Champ bear." He explained. Shimmers clearly didn't like this as he sniffled a bit. "No Shimmers, please don't be sad like that. That was over a year ago. Your the one I love and want now." Loveheart bear said approaching him as Shimmers lifted up a paw defensively. "I get it," Shimmers said. "It didn't work out with Confidence, so you were heart broken till you met me." Shimmers said. "Shimmers please, let me explain." Loveheart explained. "I only have one question for you Loveheart bear, do you still have feelings for Confidence? Be honest." Shimmers said alot more sternly looking the bear serously in the eye. Loveheart bear's expression softened up as he came up to Shimmers and held his paws in his. "No, I don't." Loveheart bear said. "I love you with all my heart Shimmers. All I see is you in my life. Without you, I don't know what I'd do.." Loveheart said also now feeling sad. Shimmers sighed and now realized what he just did as he believed Loveheart and hugged him tightly. "Thanks for being honest with me Loveheart bear," Shimmers said kissing him and hugging him tightly. "I feel the same about you." He said as Loveheart hugged him back tightly as the two kissed and teared up in there eyes for a moment. "Aww, how sweet," Lifeheart said. "I'm sorry I made you two upset," Lifeheart said looking down. "Its probably best we go." Lifeheart said as she turned as Shimmers and Loveheart exchanged worried glances as both bears chased after her. "No mom wait! Don't go! We're sorry," Loveheart bear said standing in front of her. "Please mom, don't be sad or upset." "Its okay, I never should have mentioned that to you two." Lifeheart said looking down till she felt a familiar paw wrap around her hand. When she turned it was Shimmers! "Huh? Your not upset with me?" Shimmers smiled. "I never was," Shimmers said squeezing her paw tightly in his own. "Matter of fact, I am glad you mentioned that, cause I know my mate will never leave me. You also told me to forgive myself and give myself a chance. Well, I'm going to do that starting today, and I want to get to know you now." Shimmers said looking her in the eyes. "If you'll have me." Shimmers said. Lifeheart smiled back and hugged him. "Of course I'll spend the day with you son," Lifeheart unicorn said. "Me and Sage Heart both will. Now let's go get something to eat." Sage Heart bear ran along side and held Shimmers other paw as Shimmers giggled happily as they began to walk. "Goodbye Shimmers," Loveheart bear said waiving them off. "I'll see you at the caring training station later today!" He said as he also disappeared to get his day started. As they were both walking, Lifeheart telepathically comminucated to Sage Heart. "More doubt has melted away in his heart and mind Sage Heart. Its working!" She shouted happily as Sage Heart smiled but also sniffed happily. "Huh? Sage Heart? Are you okay?" Shimmers asked looking at him concerned. "I'm fine son," Sage Heart bear said wiping away his tear. "This is a tear of joy your seeing. I am so glad were getting to know you better and accepting you as one of our own children." He said smiling at the bear which made Shimmers blush and smile back as he took that moment and hugged Sage Heart bear tightly as Sage Heart bear smiled hugging him back. "I love you son. You'll always be part of this family." He promised hugging him tightly before they finally began to walk again finally reaching the top hat cafeteria. Shimmers ran in and grabbed what he wanted alot more confidently, scrambled eggs, canadian bacon, sausage links, and oatmeal. Shimmers then sat down but then paused and prayed and gave thanks for his food as he waited for his two new parents to sit with him. It took a moment, but they sat with him across from him as they only grabbed about half of what Shimmers had as they all began eating together. "So Lifeheart, where did you two live down on earth before you two joined the carebear family?" Shimmers inquired. "In Canada," Lifeheart said. "We met in a french speaking state in the east." "Oh? You two can speak french?" Shimmers said looking up at them excitedly. "Why yes, we both can also speak spanish since its required in Canada to learn three languages." Sage Heart explained. "I think that's great!" Shimmers said. "Sadly I never learned to speak my own tongue fluently." Shimmers said a bit ashamed as he was taking bite after bite of his eggs and sausage. "Oh? What language is that?" Lifeheart asked. "Spanish," Shimmers explained. "You see my human name is Joaquin Benevidas. But sadly while I took spanish one in high school, I got the hang of it for a bit but I never kept up with it so my spanish is quiet limited." Shimmers said as he sipped down some orange juice. "Aww we can teach you if you still want to learn it Shimmers." Sage Heart bear offered. "I would love that when I get around to it." Shimmers said as he was alot more relaxed around these two now knowing they were truly sincere about wanting him here. When Shimmers was done, he waited patiently as his company finished up as well and grabbed there trays emptying the contents out and placing it neatly over the heart shaped tray holder. Once they placed them there, they left there still talking. "Um Lifeheart? I have something to ask you." He asked as Lifeheart and Sage Heart were thinking they were done with him not wanting to smother him. "Yes Shimmers? What is it?" Lifeheart asked. "Can you please continue to train me? Your a good teacher and I still have alot more to learn." Shimmers asked enthusiastiacally. "Train you? I would love to Shimmers, but didn't you have two battles yesterday?" She inquired as if to discourage him from asking. Shimmers looked down sensing that tone. "Um yes I did, but what does that have to do with this?" Shimmers said looking at her concerned. "Didn't you use your unicorn powers in those battles? Remember that I told you not to use them or you could over strain your star on your head?" She inquired in a serious tone. "I didn't use my unicorn powers in those battles," Shimmers said hurt she would think he would disobey her like that. "Honest, I did what you told me to do and I let it rest." Shimmers said as Lifeheart looked at him feeling guilty again for the near fiasco that morning as she immediately softened her tone. "You believe me don't you?" "Shimmers, I'm sorry, is that all my children I have ever trained never did truly listen to me when I told them not to over do it," She tried to explain. "So to be perfectly honest with you, I expected you to do the same." She said honestly. "Why would you think so low of me like that Lifeheart? I would never go against your advise with these unicorn powers," Shimmers said clearly still hurt by all of this. "I want to learn, and I would never do anything to jeapardize that training or your trust. Also since you seem to still not believe me, can't you use your unicorn powers to show or detect if I did use it? Please? I want to prove to you I didn't use it after you told me not to." Shimmers said looking at her seriously. Lifeheart sighed looking down, feeling terrible at just how she treated Shimmers. "Yes Shimmers, there is a way I can do that. But are you sure you want me to do that? After I clearly hurt your feelings of not trusting you?" Lifeheart inquired. "Yes Lifeheart," Shimmers said smiling. "You forgave me for everything I ever did, and you also let me marry your son whom I love with all my heart." Shimmers said tearfully. "Its the least I can do, especially if it earns your trust so you can continue training me." Shimmers pointed out as that made Lifeheart smile. "Thank you for being so understanding Shimmers," Lifeheart said smiling. "I promise to never treat you like that again, or doubt you like that again." She said as her horn began to glow as she held his paws as both the star on Shimmers head, and her unicorn horn glowed in harmony till they suddenly stopped. "Wow! Not only did you not use it after I told you, there is absolutely no strain on your unicorn star." "What does that mean?" Shimmers asked looking at her with hope in his eyes. "It means that today I can complete your training without restraint or holding back since you listened to me." She said smiling. "Out of all my children your the only one who actually listened to me to the letter." "Wait, are you calling me your son?" Shimmers said smiling and blushing happily. "Yes." Lifeheart said hugging him. "You will always be my son Shimmers." Shimmers hugged her tightly as she hugged him back as Shimmers was trying not to fight back tears of happiness. "Aww, you have no idea what this means to me Lifeheart, I . I,,, promise to be a good son to you and Sage Heart." "You already are Shimmers," Sage Heart bear said smiling. "You have nothing to prove to us. were proud of you from when you first joined us, up till now never running away from adversity. You showed us what we did was wrong, and for that we are forever grateful to you." "I'm also forever grateful to God for you two," Shimmers said sniffling. "I don't feel so alone in this world anymore. Ever since I lost my parents, I always felt lost, and unwanted." Shimmers said now crying as they both hugged him. "Shimmers, its okay, were here, your not alone nor will you ever be alone." Sage heart said crying with him. "You will always have us now and forever more Shimmers. We will always love you and be here for you always." Lifeheart said as Shimmers cried helplessly in there arms for a time alone being comforted and consoled. ----------- Meanwhile away at a purple castle upon the purple dark unwelcoming clouds, Noheart growled and slammed his fist on the image inside his cauldron. "Ahhhhh! Nooo! I am losing him!" Noheart said angrily. "That doubt in his mind that I was trying to build upon is nearly all gone thanks to these two meddlesome magi!" Noheart shouted with his eyes glowing red. "Soon, not only will I make Shimmers doubt himself again and abandon all hope that anyone cares about him, I will also destroy those he cares for right in front of his very eyes as I take my vengeance upon him!" He said shaking his fist determinedly. "Tomorrow Shimmers, tomorrow is the day I will challenge you and your parents honor to the death! As long as you have some doubt in your heart like you have now, you will not be able to use your carebear's stare, and with this new amulet I am working on that will absorb your power of the heart and attacks along with it, once I get you to agree to a one on one battle where your new family agrees not to interfere no matter what, I am going to trap you and with your only hope of using the carebear's stare still gone, as long as you can't tap into your own caring energy, this battle will be mine and I will destroy you and your family! MuahahaahahaMuahahahaha!" Noheart laughed evilly. -------------------------------------- Meanwhile in Lifeheart's back yard, Shimmers and Lifeheart both were facing one another. "Ready Shimmers?" Lifeheart asked. "Yes mom, I am ready." Shimmers said as both there horn and star upon Shimmers head lit up as the energy went from there foreheads to there arms forming there weapons. Shimmers with his white duo light energy sword, and Lifeheart this time formed a sword out of granite and medal. "Whoa, that's different, what elemental powers are you using?" "Earth elemental Shimmers." She said smirking as she attacked Shimmers quickly with one over head strike which Shimmers barely blocked and parried as she followed it up with a side swipe as Shimmers blocked it with the back end of his weapon as she hit Shimmers on his tummy with a foward kick. Her horn then glowed and followed it up by pulling Shimmers in using telekinesis as Shimmers heels dug into the clouds but still being pulled towards Lifeheart as his heels dragged into the clouds. "Come here Shimmers! "She giggled which made Shimmers blush as he wondered how she knew he liked being controlled like that? But his train of thoughts quickly left him as her horn now glowed brown as granite and metal covered Shimmers body up from head to toe with only his face free. "Now I gotcha! You won't be able to resist this!" She teased scratching him underneath the chin making him blush as he wiggled his body but could not move his arms or legs. "Hehehey Nohohohohfahahair!" Shimmers said giggling as she played with his nose a bit tickling it gently with her paws as he struggled, "Noo stahhaahp your going to mahahake meahhh. ahhh. achoo!" Shimmers sneezed as he begged when she smiled rubbing his nose again. "Nooohhhohopleehhease ahhh... ahhhh achuuu!" Shimmers sneezed. "I'm going to keep torturing you till you figure out how to get out of this." She smiled happily as she kept rubbing his nose making him sneeze over and over again. If it wasn't for the granite between his legs, she would of saw something excited between his legs as he shook in his restraints trying to think. "Stataahahahap! Noohhoahhh! Ahhh... ACHUUU!" Shimmers sneezed again till idea hit his mind. His star upon his head began to glow as white light energy escaped it till he somehow flash stepped back and forth till he finally loosened himself and broke out. "Very good Shimmers," Lifeheart said smiling proudly at him. "But I doubt you'll escape a second time!" She said smiling as her horn glowed green pulling Shimmers towards herself once more as his heels dug into the clouds. as he looked at her helplessly. "No not again!" Shimmers begged but found his body unable to resist as she once again had him trapped in the sameway but alot more securely as he vainly used his unicorn magic to try and get away, using the flash step but it failed time and time again once more with his head exposed as magic appeared in Lifeheart's hands as a black and white eagle feather appeared. "Yes again and since you keep getting trapped, I'm going to have so more fun with you! Ootchie cootchy coo my helpless cub." She said playfully as she began tickling his nose as he looked at her blushing and worriedly. "Noooohohohmom plehehehease! Stahahaap ticklnghmynose! Ahhh...AHHH...ACHOOO!" Shimmers sneezed again as Sage heart blushed loving this adorable scene. "Aww what's the matter Shimmers? If I didn't know any better I think your liking this." Sage Heart said smirking. "Staahahahap! Plhehhease stop tickling my nose! Ahhh... AHhh achuuu!" Shimmers sneezed once more wiggling his nose back and forth only to feel the feather return to his nose tickling his nostrils. "Ahhh... Ahhh! Achuuu!" Shimmers sneezed again as he giggled but groaned when he felt the feather once more return to his nose with Lifeheart smiling at her ticklish advantage over him. "Tickle tickle sneezey time Shimmers!" She teased as Sageheart came from behiind and began tickling his ear as Shimmers blushed helplessly on his cheeks. "Ahhh. AhahahaNooahahaAhh! Achuu!" Shimmers nose was beginning ot turn red but nonetheless, Lifeheart showed his poor nose no mercy nor his ears as Sage heart kept rubbing and tickling his ears. "Arrahahahaahanooplehhehease Nooaahhh.. ahhh.. ACHUUU!" Shimmers sneezed again. Lifeheart smiled widely clearly enjoying this as she looked happily into his eyes rubbing the feather on his defenseless nose as he bawled helplessly from having his ears tickled. "ArrhaaahahaNooaahhh. ahhh! Achuuu!" Shimmers nose began to dribble with wetness but that didn't deter Lifeheart from tickling his poor nose with that eagle feather. "AhhhahahaAchuu! Achuuu! Ahahhahahaahnoaahahahachuu!" Shimmers said blushing on his cheeks giggling clearly happy as he was loving the attention. Even as old as he was, he loved having his ears tickled, and the loving attention he was getting. "Arahahaahachuuuu! NoNoo pleheheehase! Dohohohn't mahahake me sneeze! AHHCUUU!" Shimmers sneezed violently as he shrieked in laughter as the back of his ears were tickled by Sage Haeart bear. "Give up Shimmers? Just say so, and this will all stop." Teased Lifeheart tickling his nose. "Arrhaahahahaeheahahaokayhahaaokayhahayou wihihin! ACHUU!" Lifeheart stopped tickling his nose as she nuzzled noses with him and kissed him and nuzzled his cheek with her muzzle. "Awww." Shimmers cooed closing his eyes enjoying that affection. "We love you son." Sage Heart bear said pinching his cheek softly as Shimmers smiled. "I love you too." Shimmers said as Lifeheart's unicorn horn glowed finally letting Shimmers go as they hugged happily. "Now that you didn't get to use your unicorn powers as much, I suggest you use it today against your two new opponents." Lifeheart advised. "Huh? How did you know about that?" Shimmers asked completely surprised. "Mothers knows all Shimmers, especially unicorn mothers." She said winking at him making him blush and smile back. "Truth is, you know all you need to know about the light elemental, you just need to learn the rest on your own." She said scratching him underneath the chin playfully as sageheart tickled his ears as Shimmers ears wiggled back and forth as he laughed cutely. "Now go get them, your going to be in for two very tough fights today." Lifeheart said concerned. "Don't worry you two, I promise I'll be careful." He said already sensing there concern as Lifeheart smiled since she felt another shadow of light enter Shimmers soul with the darkness only having a small spot in his heart. With that Shimmers waived them off smiling. Lifeheart waited till Shimmers disappeared into the distance until she turned towards Sage Heart. "Yeah I heard what you said in my mind." Sage Heart said. "It happened again," She said smiling. "He is trusting in us, and I sensed more of that saddened darkness disappear from his mind and there's only a speck of it left in his heart. I sense one more or two more days, and Noheart's influence with completely disappear in Shimmesr heart." She said smiling proudly as a happy tear left her eye. "Oh this is my great news my dear." Sage Heart said as they held hands and eventually went inside there own home in peace and had lunch together. --------------------------------------- Shimmers got lost for a moment till he heard the battle cries of "Stare," and, "Call," in the distance. Shimmers when he heard this groaned as he walked more slowly in no hurry at all to get there since he expected no different result than that which happened the day before. As he let his mind wonder walking closer, he was greeted by Trueheart. "Hi Shimmers!" She waived at him smiling. "Hello Trueheart." Shimmers said waving back at her as she invited him in and already setting up a target near where his mate was practicing. Although everyone there continued doing there own thing, Shimmers noticed alot of the bears and cousins throwing him alot of glimpses to see how he would do. Shimmers could sense all eyes were on him even if others were not looking at him directly as each bear and cousin, even magi stole glances at him. "Well, here you go Shimmers, try and hit the beastly target from twenty yards away sweety." She said encouragingly. Shimmers glanced over at his mate, he was hitting one target after another consecutevely never missing as Shimmers wished he could just get his damn tummy symbol to at least light as brightly as Loveheart's. Shimmers then closed his eyes and began to concentrate. He thought of Lifeheart, Trueheart, Sageheart, and Loveheart bear and just how good they have been to him as he felt the caring energy begin to flow through his tummy symbol. He opened his eyes feeling a bit more confident about today for some reason as he heard the voices but tuned them out as he let this one just flow freely as his tumy symbol lit up and he unleashed it. "Carebear's stare!" Shimmers shouted as the beam of white light fired from his tummy symbol and actually managed to hit the target as it shook and he nearly made it change poses. But sadly it just wasn't enough. "Shimmers, you did it!" Trueheart said smiling and clapping as others were also looking at his performance with approval as this got the attention of Loveheart bear. "Wait? Your saying my husband managed to use his stare and I missed it?" Loveheart said a bit disappointed as if he just missed a main event. "Not exactly Loveheart, I hit the target but I didn't make it change." Shimmers groaned. "But now time to try again." Shimmers said closing his eyes as people in the crowd began to cheer him on. He thought about what he did before, the training Lifeheart had shown him, them consoling him in the cafeteria when he cried, and there complete acceptance of him. With this, his tummy symbol began to light up again even a bit more brightly than before as he opened and shouted. "STARE!" Shimmers shouted as his tummy symbol lit up and fired! This time it was enough to have changed the beastly target, but sadly it missed as his tummy symbol returned to normal with Shimmers groaning. "Gurr, are you kidding me? I HAD IT!" Shimmers said in frustration. "Yeaah you did," Trueheart said smiling. "Now Shimmers try again! This time try to aim with that same amount of caring power." Shimmers closed his eyes concentrating like before but this time his tummy symbol barely lit up and it barely fired a weak beam of light. "Groan, why? Why is my symbol not working now? I am doing the samething as before to tap into that caring energy. Why is it not firing?" Shimmers said gritting his teeth. "Whoa take it easy sports fan," Champ bear advised. "Take it one step at a time. This is far better than all your other training days Shimmers. This means your on the right track sports fan and Im rooting for you!" Chaamp bear said lifting up a pumping fist. "I rarely get excited about tummy symbol practice, but even I have to say I want to see it when you finally manage to master the carebear's stare Shimmers." Grumpy bear said. "Sadly, that day won't be today Grumpy and Champ." Shimmers said looking down. "It just seems I just don't have it me to do this anytime soon." Shimmers looked down as he began to walk away. "Whoa, wait a second there sports fan!" Champ bear said smiling. "You can't give up that easily Shimmers. How did you ever manage to make it this far in life if you gave up like that?" Champ bear asked. "Simple Champ bear, I looked at my training as not a option to fail." Shimmers said in a matter of fact tone. "In my first two years training under Noheart I lost all my fights till I got stronger, faster, and all around graceful in my fighting techniques and power attacks." Shimmers explained smiling. "I also managed to beat Noheart one on one for that third year and since then I never lost a one on one fight with anyone." Shimmers explained smiling blushing nervously on his cheeks. "Then use that same heart and determination in the same way you do your tummy symbol training sports fan." Champ bear said. "Its no wonder your failing at tummy symbol practice, your way to hard on yourself, and your giving up before you even truly try." Champ bear said. "Yeah Shimmers," Trueheart said in a matter of fact type of tone. "You need to not give up on yourself if your going to truly master your tummy symbol power." Trueheart explained. "Not only that Shimmers, but if you think were going to let you give up that easily you have another thing coming," Grumpy bear said crossing his arms. "Were going to be here each day rooting for you till you finally light it up and when that day happens we will celebrate it together." Grumpy bear smiling. Shimmers giggled as he responded. "You guy's just don't give up on me do you?" "Nope, were carebears Shimmers you should know better than that." Nobleheart said crossing his arms. "Well, with that kind of support, what can I say? I have no excuse, as long as you guy's are there for me as you all have been, I promise I won't give up on this and I will be at this everyday till I finally learn how to do this." Shimmers vowed as everyone cheered loudly as Shimmers smiled feeling more and more truly accepted as part of the carebear family. "That's the spirit Shimmers!" Champ bear said placing a paw on his shoulder. "Hey Shimmers," Boomed a low voice as he saw it was Passion heart wolverine walking along holding hands with Redemptionheart bear. "You didn't forget about our practice fight today did you?" "Why no, I remember." Shimmers said. "Good, you ready to begin?" He asked. "Oh boy another fight? Alright! Let me go make some popcorn I want to watch this and my vote is on Shimmers to win this one!" Grumpy bear said as Passion looked unamused which made Redemptionheart bear laugh at his annoyed expression. "My vote is also on Shimmers to win this sports fan," Champ bear said with a wink looking at Shimmers before he turned towards Passion. "Sorry Passion but its just that Shimmers has been on a hot streak lately and I don't see him losing to anyone." He said. Passion heart then grinned. "Don't be so sure sports bear," Passion heart said. "You forget Shimmers has more natural strength to beat his other opponents. But between us two, its obviously who has more strength here." He said flexing as Redemptionheart smiling squeezing his arm muscle. "Ohhh so sexy." She said making him blush. "Redemptionheart, not now, can't you see I'm making a point here?" He said blushing on his cheeks before he finally stopped blushing. "Remember Shimmers, unlike your last opponents you won't be able to man handle me around." He said looking at Shimmers with a serious look. "That might be so, but you seem to slow for that to make a difference." Shimmers said looking him back in the eye with just as much intensity letting the wolverine know he was not a helpless cub and that he would not be easy by no means for him to beat. Even if he did somehow manage to beat him, he would most certainly have to earn it. "You forget I just don't have strength passion, I also fight to win." Passion heart smirked. "Well, I have a way to slow you down," He said looking at Shimmers in the eye. "And once I have you slowed down, you won't be able to escape." He said snapping his finger as he approached Shimmers. "You better hope so Passion, cause your not the first or the last who thought they could best me one on one." Shimmers said as Passion Heart smirked. "Good, cause when I beat you, I don't want any excuses from you." He said growiing. "Okay that's enough you two," Trueheart said. "Let's go to the battlefield and settle this." ------------------------------- Once everyone was gathered there, Grumpy bear had made enough popcorn for everyone there as if this was a movie theatre. "Grumpy how did you manage to make all of this?" Nobleheart asked. "I have my ways Nobleheart," Grumpy bear said smiling slyly. "Now let's take our places, I want to watch this!" Trueheart once more in the middle of the battlefield with the two opponents facing each other with Passion Heart seemingly twice the size of Shimmers as Shimmers looked up at this brute unafraid. "This match is set for one practice. All powers are allowed and the fight will resume unless one fighter submits, or can no longer continue fighting." Trueheart cleared the battle cloud field as she raised her right paw. "GO!" Trueheart said as she gulped not wanting to see either one of them hurt since she honestly hated these practices, let alone watching them. Passionheart then charged towards Shimmers who had his duo sword drawn as he dodged his a overhead paw attack as Passion Heart summoned his ax and quickly turned around with a overhead strike at Shimmers head which Shimmers blocked with his red duo edged light saber. Shimmers followed it up with a forward kick to the brutes abs, as that had little affect as Passion Heart grinned trying to push the ax down harder. Shimmers grimaced as he went down to one knee but held his ground. "I have to admit, your alot stronger than you look." Passion Heart said pressing the ax down more. Shimmers then looked up at him and planted his feet down firmly within the clouds grunting a bit as Shimmers used the heart to aid him and pushed the ax back violently along with Passion Heart's body who gritted his teeth. "I told you, I'm not going down that easily." Shimmers said as he then charged after Passion heart as the crowd cheered Shimmers on as he struck with quick side strikes which Passion barely managed to avoid as Shimmers followed it up with a hard kick to Passion's right knee which did made him grimace and bend down as Shimmers followed it up with a violent uppercut to his chin slapping his jaw and teeth together which in turn blurred his vision for a moment as Shimmers cupped his hands together and shouted. "Kashikaykayha!" Shimmers shouted thrusting them forward hitting Passion Heart directly in his chest at point blank range which sent Passion Heart reeling back as he somehow managed to dig his claws into the clouds below as his body dragged preventing himself from falling. "Is that all you got!" Shimmers said almost tauntingly as Shimmers looked at him with narowed eyes. "Oh this fight is far from over Shimmers!" He said as his paws began to glow. Shimmers decided he better use this to his advantage since he was obviously winning and dashed in charging after Passion Heart but just before he got there, he felt alot more... heavy and slow! "Aww what's the matter Shimmers? You seem to be alot SLOWER!" He said as he ran towards him and knocked him back hard headbutting him with his thick forehard sending Shimmers flying backwards. Shimmers tried to lift up his legs and kick to his feet, but he barely managed to land on his feet since that spell affect still had him feeling heavy. So slow in fact that by the time he stood up, Passion heart was already behind his back and raked his claws upon Shimmers back as Shimmers cried out in pain as the fresh blood oozed from his back. "AHHHH!" Shimmers shouted crying in pain going down to one knee as Passion then turned and followed it up with a swift kick to his back knocking him to his tummy as blood covered the clouds as Trueheart looked on in concern obviously wanting to call this off but remained where she was at as the crowd was silenced. "Shimmers, I have won this fight now, I suggest you give up now before I do further damage to you." Passion heart suggested clearly not wanting to carry this further than necessary. "Its not over yet Passion! And no I do not surrender!" Shimmers said somehow standing to his feet as Passion's heart's paw glowed knocking Shimmers down to the clouds before as if a hand was pushing hard down upon his back. "AHHH!" "Give it up Shimmers! I don't want to hurt you anymore." Passion heart said almost pleading. "Please just give up now, your clearly helpless." Shimmers grunted and was sweating from head to toe as Shimmers clearly was in not a quitting mood. "NEVER!" Shimmers shouted as Passion Heart groaned and unsheathed his claws. "You asked for it SHIMMERS! YOU STUBBORN ASS BEAR!" Passion shouted, as Shimmers star upon his head glowing brightly as he turned and looked at Passion heart's eyes, it lit up so brightly, it blinded the strong brute as he covered his eyes in pain. The energy emanated through Shimmers body glowing a bright white. even upon his back as he magically healed his back and stopped the bleeding. While he had him blind for a moment, Shimmers took advantage as he took a flash step turning invisible and reappeared a second later hitting Passion Heart with a direct light blast upon his abs which made Passion cry out in pain as it felt like razors cutting through them as now he was ripped open and bleeding. Passion then took a vain swipe at Shimmers with his ax but Shimmers disappeared as his ax fell harmlessly to the clouds benaath. By the time Passion pulled his ax out, He cried out in pain as he felt that same light attack upon his back, but it was combined with Shimmers Kashikaykaha!" This made Passion heart cry out in pain as he was thrusted violently forward till he hit the ground with his blood covered carcus as the crowd looked on in shock. Passion Heart tried to get up, but fell down till his body finally laid limp as Shimmers lifted up his right paw in triumph! "YEAHHHH!" Shimmers shouted facing the crowd as they all cheered wit him as Trueheart breathed a sigh of relief that he was okay as she made the announcement running towards Shimmers. "The winner of this match, and still unbeaten here in carelot, your champion, Shimmeringstar bear!" She said lifting up his left arm as the crowd cheered him on as Redemptionheart flew and tended to Passion Heart still in clear pain. "Stay still hun, I'll take care of you." She said deeply concerned as her paws began to glow sealing up his open wounds on his back and abs. "There, now you should take it easy the rest of the day." She said as Passion looked down. "I lost." He said almost to proud to admit that he lost to the newcomer as he stood up and faced Shimmers.Shimmers also turned and faced him as the crowd fell silent. "I will admit, I thought I had this match in the bag. That light elemental was the perfect counter to my gravity attacks." He admitted making Shimmers blush. "Thanks Passion Heart. Sorry I hid that from you." Shimmers said. "Don't be, your clearly the better fighter. I have enough honor to admit who my better is." He said smiling proudly as Shimmers. "Thanks Passion heart, even when losing, your very graceful. Thank you." Shimmers said smiling blushing nervously at the compliments. "Your winner Shimmers, he is the better fighter of us two." Passion heart said lifting Shimmers right arm with Trueheart lifting up his left arm once more as the crowd present cheered loudly as Shimmers heart was racing. After this was done, Shimmers approached Loveheart bear who looked at him slightly annoyed. "What?" Shimmers said blushing a bit. "My mom was teaching you how to use the light magic elemental and you didn't tell me?" Loveheart bear said tapping his foot. "Sorry Love," Shimmer said. "If you knew, then Passion would of known and I honestly was trying to save that for my next fight." "Next fight?" Loveheart said scratching his head. "Yes, I promised Anger Heart fox a match as well this day after I was done with Passion heart wolverine." Shimmers said. "Shimmers, you barely won this fight, I recommend you postpone this fight till tomorrow." Loveheart said concerned. "While I do appreciate your concern Loveheart, this is my choice, and I am feeling perfectly fine and I want to face Anger Heart." Shimmer said determinedly as Loveheart sighed. Shimmers held his paws in his hands. "Loveheart bear, you said when we got married you would always love me in sickness and in health remember? I need that bear I married to be supportive of me now with this next fight more than ever, not doubt me." Shimmers said. Loveheart then looked at his mate's eyes. "Your right, I'm sorry, its just I don't want to lose you or see you get hurt." Loveheart said looking into his eyes. "I know," Shimmers said smiling. "But your going to have to trust me. I got this one too, you'll see." Shimmers said winking at Loveheart bear who did not share his optimism. "I hope so." Loveheart bear sighed as the two were interrupted by Anger Heart fox with Guidance standing next to him. "Aww, how touching, Loveheart is worried I am going to hurt his itty bitty Shimmeringstar?" He teased as Loveheart grit his teeth as Shimmers smiled and stopped him before he could say anything facing anger heart. "This itty bitty Shimmers is going to make you pay more in this battle if you keep taunting my husband like that." Shimmers threatened as he looked at him in a serious tone as Loveheart giggled seeing that smirk leave the foxes face. "Don't be so sure chosen one," Anger heart said crossing his arms. "You look pretty tired from your last fight, are you sure you want to face me?" He said with his tails waiving back aand forth behind him. Shimmers stood up to him placing his paws on his shoulders and holding the fox tightly as he struggled to get free. "Shimmeers get your paws off of me! I don't like being TOUCHED!" He shouted as Shimmers held him in place looking him right in the eyes. "Not only will I beat you little foxy boy, I'm going to humiliate you for teasing my mate like that. No one talks to my husband like that, not even you." Shimmers said as the fox threw a violent punch at Shimmers as Guidance shuttered but Shimmers just caught his fist in his open paw. "Especially if your that slow." Shimmers said as he threw a elbow so fast that it barely made contact with the foxes chin as he gulped as Shimmers finally let him go. "Oh wow another match? Let's go you two!" Grumpy bear said seeing this as Anger heart gritted his teeth looking at Shimmers in heated anger clearly upset at this treatment. "Okay, you two ready?" Trueheart said as both of them nodded and went to the battle field with everyone getting ready for the match taking there places. ----------------------------- Shimmers was now facing Anger Heart who was maybe just a little half his size as he looked down at the fox but not underestimating Anger who looked at him with contempt and eyes narrowed at him with Trueheart setting the rules as she stepped away then waived her traditional go! Anger Heart lit himself up on fire while clinching a fist as Shimmers held his traditional duo red saber sword. Anger Heart forged his own red sword out of his red fire elemental energy as he spun around trying to grab Shimmers wrists with his three tails. Things were slowing down for Shimmers as if he saw this in slow motion as he flawlessly stepped perfectly avoiding each grabbing at his wrists till he grabbed one of his tails then another one and began circling with him quickly as Alex protested screaming. "Hey, let go of my tails! "OHHHH WHOA! WHOA!" Said the fox with only one tail flailing about vainly as it somehow whipped upwards then down at Shimmers paw causing it to bleed as Shimmers grimaced but didn't let go as he spun two more times till he released him throwing him as his star shape began to glow quickly emanating around his body as he disappeared using his flash step quickly stepping in front of the fox as he hammered Anger hard in his tummy before be could even react as this took out his fire defense barrier sending him in the opposite direction. Shimmers then disappaered with his flash step once more and kicked alex hard on his tummy again sending him flying in the opposite direction as blood spit from his mouth as Shimmers used his flash step again and this time tried swinging his duo edge saber on him as Alex barely managed to block it as he finally stopped being flung like a tennis ball around the battle field. Shimmers then tried to kick him, but Anger heart quickly countered with his three tails trapping Shimmers ankle as he lifted him up from his crotched position and slammed him hard into the clouds below as his tail went back to position as he receded grabbing his tummy in pain. Shimmers turned, and flipped to his feet as he shouted. "Blinding Sphere!" Shimmers paws glowed along with his star upon his forehead as he clapped his hands together in close proximaty as it felt like a violent bomb went off right in front of Anger Heart as he got sent reeling back as he somehow turned his fire back on with jets streaming from his feet as he barely got back control of his body. Shimmers had disappeared though using his invisibility as Anger looked around worriedly. "Hey, where did you go?" He said in frustration till his ears perked off as he turned around just in time to stop Shimmers from punching him in the back as he grabbed Shimmers paws. "Bad move chosen one," He said giggling as his tails quickly grabbed his wrists binding them together with two tails as his free tail lit up on fire as it snapped at Shimmers face as fiery flickers snapped with each slap across his face unable to get free as he struggled as Shimmers closed his eyes gritting his teeth blow after blow till that free tail lit up and started hitting him with fireballs. "Rapid fire!" Shouted Anger Heart as he hit Shimmers over and over again on his face and chest directly till the force was so immense, it sent Shimmers flying away landing on his back. Anger Heart quickly jetted in the air high then came down violently aiming his feet at Shimmers chest making the contact as Shimmers cried out in pain. "AHHHH!" Shimmer shouted as he grabbed his stomach reeling in pain as Anger heart punished Shimmers thinking he had him, Anger heart got careless and started taking liberties with his tails hitting Shimmers on his face, tummy, and legs as he also tried to follow it up with a back winded punch to Shimmers tummy,which Shimmers grabbed as he looked at the fox with a wicked smile. "Now your going to get it!" Shimmers said at the stunned fox as he shouted. "Light Bomb!" Shimmers shouted as he hit the fox directly across the belly with such violent force that the fox flew up in the air and hit the clouds landing on his back bouncing once before his body settled in the cloud banks. Shimmers then quickly disappeared with his light elemental as he grabbed all three of his tails as his vision went blank for a moment as if looking into someone's memory as his unicorn star glowed upon his forehead. Flashback* Shimmers was witnessing a very young anger heart, tiny, and only maybe seven years of age as he was being cornered into a back alley with a boy twice his age. Anger Heart even though he tried to get away, he could not as he was grabbed by the bigger bully who grabbed his singular tail and began tying it knot after knot as Anger cried out in pain bawling as he went running home to Lifeheart and Sageheart who had to magically undo his tail as they consoled him while he was crying. End Flashback*.Shimmers then felt bad the moment he realized the pain he would of inflicted as he saw the worried saddened look on Anger heart's face gulping. Shimmers to everyone's surprise saw Shimmers let go of his tails as some people questioned, what is Shimmers doing as he immediately grabbed Anger's arms locking them behind his head in a full nelson as Alex immediately panicked remembering how he placed Confidence in a similar move. "No wait!" He said lifting up his paws as much as he could as Shimmers stopped but still maintained his hold. "I give up!" he said almost pleadingly on his knees as Shimmers paws stopped glowing as Shimmers let him go and the crowd cheered him on as Shimmers pumped his fist in celebration. Anger heart then approached Shimmers and got his attention. "Hey Shimmers?" Anger Heart asked. "Huh? Yes Anger?" Shimmers asked wondering what he wanted. "Why did you let go of my tails? You could of really caused me alot of pain with that, but you didn't, why?" Anger Heart inquired. "Because I saw the worried look on your face," Shimmers explained. "I would of felt awful, but also Alex I would never hurt you like that." Placing his paws on his shoulders as anger heart looked at him but not annoyed he was being touched. "Your my family, and I will always look after you." Anger was in shock and awe at this consideration as he hugged Shimmers tightly. "Thank you for not tying my tails in knots." He said in a grateful tone as Shimmers hugged him back as the crowd cheered but not hearing a word of what the two were talking about cept for Confidence since she had very keen hearing for a fennec. As Trueheart approached she raised his arm in victory as Anger Heart also did the same as Confidence and Champ bear applauded in approval. "Once more, and still unbeaten, our very own Shimmersingstar!" Trueheart said as the crowd went wild as Grumpy bear was also smiling ear to ear which was quiet rare for him to do as he had butter all over his lips and cheeks. "What a great match sportsfan!" Champ bear said as Confidence giggled and hugged him with one arm around his back as the two embraced smiling. Shimmers blushed on his cheeks as the star on his forehead glowed going around his body healing the burns, and cuts upon his body. Eventually the crowd dispersed cept for Loveheart, and the remaining Magi, Passion, Guidance, Loveheart, Redemptionheart, Anger, Champ bear, and Defiant. "So when did you learn how to use the light elemental?" Loveheart inquired. "Your mom," Shimmers simply explained. "She's been training me secretly these last two days since she told me she wants me prepared just in case Noheart comes for me." "I am a bit disappointed you didn't tell me love," Loveheart bear said looking at him seriously in the eyes. "But I am even more amazed at how fast you have mastered it, Your already training and doing attacks that took me years to master my lightning elemental." "Yeah, I mean that's almost impossible," Guidance heart agreed. "How did you learn to master your element in just two days?" Shimmers shrugged. "I simply trained with Lifeheart, and listened to her advise to not over strain my unicorn star muscle and to let it rest properly." Shimmers explained. "Then we trained again today together." Shimmers said blushing nervously. "Huh? Why are you blushing Shimmers?" Inquired Redemptionheart bear. "Wait, did Lifeheart manage to defeat you one on one?" Passion asked. "Yah, she more than beat me, she humiliated me." Shimmers said blushing even more. "Huh? how is it she beat you so easily but none of us could beat you? Did you let her beat you?" Confidence asked him looking at him seriously in the eyes. "No, its just like unlike us, she is highly versatile and she trapped me using the earth element and while I managed to escape the first time, she trapped me again the second time after I escaped using my light elemental but she somehow adapted the next trap to where I could not escape the sameway. So let's just say she kept me there helpless in that position, tickling my nose with a feather making me sneeze till I eventually gave up." He said blushing hotly on his cheeks. "Awww how cute, she not only beat you, but it sounds like you two had some fun together." Redemptionheart bear said in a teasing manner. "Yeah, I really love Lifeheart," Shimmers confessed. "She's a great teacher and parent along with Sage Heart bear." "So technically in all fairness your not unbeaten." Confidence pointed out placing her hands on her hips. "Yeah your right about that," Shimmers confessed. "But I don't mind losing to her, she has done so much for me ever since I have been here." "Don't worry Shimmers, we won't till anyone as long as you remain humble about it." Redemptionheart bear smiling as she was getting ideas about how Shimmers helplessly got trapped by her. "I will, don't worry." Shimmers said nervously smiling. "Well, sportsfans its getting late, and I want to go home with Confidence for a bit of fun tonight." Champ bear said as Confidence looked at him smiling. "Fun? My idea of fun is whipping your butt with my tails." She said with her tails wiggling overhead behind her as Champ bear backed off nervously. "But don't worry, I'll be gentle since you did make up with me." Champ bear breathed a sigh of relief as the two held hands togeter going home together as Champ bear from Confidence tickling his neck with her tail as the rest of them waived them goodnight. "Shimmeringstar, I never said my human name to you," Anger heart said perplexed. "So how is it you knew my name?" "Lucky guess?" Shimmers said as he crossed his arms narrowing his eyes at him. "Listen Anger, can I whisper it in your ear? I don't think you would believe me even if I told you." "Nu-uh," Anger heart said. "Whatever you gotta say you can say it right here right now." He said getting agitated while tapping his foot. "Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you." Shimmers said. "During our battle, do you remember when I grabbed your tails?" Anger heart nodded. "Well in that moment, my mind went blank and I then a image formed in my head. I saw you at around seven years of age and a bully cornering you." Alex looked pale when he saw Shimmers explaining this. "And he managed to get hold of you and tied your tail in a knot as you went home crying." Anger heart tried to hold back the tears. "Then it showed you at home with Lifeheart and Sage Heart bear using unicorn magic to undo the knots on your tail. Its why I let go because I realized that was wrong to even think that." "Anger, honey are you okay?" Guidance said looking at him concerned. "So that's why you let me go, and beat be in a much kinder way." Anger heart said as if a lightbulb went off in his head. "I'm sorry I even had that thought Anger, that wasn't right of me to even think that." Shimmers said looking down shamefully. Anger Heart approached him and placed his paws on his shoulders. "Its okay Shimmers, once you saw that memory, you made a choice," Anger Heart explained. "You chose not to tie my tails and for that I will be forever grateful." He said to him kindly. "But the question is, how did you see that memory?" Loveheart pointed out. Shimmers shrugged his shoulders. "Beat's me Loveheart bear, I have no idea what happened. Its just that at the time when it happened, my star was lit up on my forehead and my paws were glowing when I was using my light elemental and thats when it happened." Shimmers pointed out. "It must of been when they both had there powers activated," Guidance said. "Think about it, both there powers were firing off in the same instance, and somehow that must of triggered that memory." "Guidance, are you saying that Anger and Shimmers bonded as one for a moment when there powers were activated?" Redemptionheart bear inquired. "Yes, it must of been the unicorn magic that caused this." Guidance said. "But this has never happened before with any of us, so why did it happen with Shimmers?" They all looked at Shimmers astonished. "Don't look at me," Shimmers said raising his paws defensively. "Either way I'm glad it did, it stopped me from doing a action that would of hurt Anger and that's all I needed is more guilt." Shimmers pointed out. "Anger, did you see anything or go blank like Shimmers did?" Guidance asked. "No, only that I was very fearful when I felt my tails being grabbed like that." He said shuttering. "But Shimmers is one less person I know that wouldn't ever do that to me. I fully trust him." He said smiling gently placing his tails in Shimmers paws. "Thanks Anger Heart, I fully trust all of you as well with my life." Shimmers said blushing as he gently squeezed his tails just before letting them go as they all smiled at this realizing that Shimmers was truly sincere in his trust in them. "See?" Anger heart pointed out. "Shimmers might be a great fighter, probably the best I have ever seen, but he is very gentle as well." "Anger heart, I told you your my family, you all are, and I would never do anything to hurt any of you ever." Shimmers said reaffirming that point as he blushed at that compliment. "Well don't go all soft on us Shimmers," Passionheart said grinning showing his teeth. "I might want a rematch and I don't want you to lose your edge." "Of course Passion Heart, I know what you mean." Shimmers said rubbing the back of his head nervously. "Shimmers, is it okay if I try a experiment? I want to see if we can create a trial test run to see if what happened between you and Anger, would happen to you and maybe your mate Loveheart bear since you both have unicorn magic?" Guidance asked. "Sure, but what would you suggest in how to do that?" Shimmers asked. "Its simple, why don't we have you and Loveheart spar just using the unicorn magic, and see what happens. If my theory is correct, then this should prove that the unicorn magic running inside of your star is bonding with the other magi." Guidance pointed out. "Guidance, that is brilliant!" Redemptionheart bear said smiling. "Yeah it is. ready to get started Shimmers?" Loveheart said as his star started glowed upon his head as a light broad sword formed in his paws as his star stopped glowing. "Wait, aren't we suppose to have both our unicorn powers go at the same time to replicate that?" Shimmers asked trying to avoid another spar. "No Shimmers, when reduplicating a experiment we need to set up the conditions as closely as possible to the circumstances that caused it. If even one variable is off, then we can't get the desired result." Guidance racoon explained with Alex nodding. "Now form your weapon using your star magic, and you two keep using your unicorn magic as much as possible." "Very well," Shimmers groaned as he began to form his own sword with his star glowing upon his head and formed his duo white sword made of the elemental light magic. "Ready!" "Everyone get out of the way!" Guidance instructed as all cleared away to a safe distance. "GO!" Loveheart and Shimmers blocked and parried each other's sword swipes for about a minute before Loveheart's star upon on his head began to glow again as lightning began dancing around his body as he started throwing lightning bolts at Shimmers. Shimmers blocked them easily with his sword till he saw Loveheart's star glow brightly upon his forehead building up in power. "Brace yourself Shimmers! Thunderbolt!" He shouted as he unleashed a powerful attack through his arms hitting fast towards Shimmers. Shimmers closed his eyes as his unicorn star glowed quickly enveloping his body as he disappeared just in time using his flash step as the bolt hit the clouds sending cloud smoke everywhere. "Hey, Shimmers? Tell me you avoided that?" Loveheart said worriedly looking around for him as he felt a gentle kick behind on his butt which made him yelp. "Aww, were you worried for me my sweet?" Shimmers teased. Loveheart smirked. "Shimmers, don't tease me like that, you know what will happen once we get home." He giggled as his star started glowing again as Shimmers was also glowing as they exchanged glances as both the elemental energies of Light and Lightning were mixing and meshing together. "Thats it! Now keep that! Keep that going and stop fighting! Now just see what happens." Guidance said as the two nodded at her saying "right" as the two looked at each other. "Now get closer together, make physical contact and hold each other." Shimmers and Loveheart then kept there powers going at about the same power level and intensity as they were harmonizing as they held paws side by side facing the crowd. Both there bodies began to glow brightly together as lightning danced upon Shimmers body while his light also reflected off of Loveheart bear's harmlessly. "Now, keep that up, how is that feeling? Do you two feel connected in someway?" "No," Shimmers said till he began to feel something. "Wait, I do feel something." Shimmers said s he closed his eyes concentrating sensing his mate's thoughts and intent. "Loveheart do you feel that? Are you thinking what I am thinking?" Shimmers inquired. "I think so, let's find out!" Loveheart said as they both looked straight ahead and as if in perfect harmony at the exact sametime the two pointed there paws forward and both unleashed a attack shouting together at the same time. "LightningSphere!" The two shouted at the same time as a combined powerful attack of both light and lightning beamed out with the light as a solid white energy mass with the lightning circling around the fast moving lightbeam as it eventually hit the clouds causing a loud explosion as both bears looked at each other in awe. "Whoa, that was unreal!" Loveheart said as they both powered down. "Yeah, its like I could sense what you were thinking, and our powers just combined." Shimmers pointed out. "Okay, then that means this concludes the experiment then." Guidance heart said smiling. "This means that Shimmers unicorn magic is bonding with anger heart and Loveheart's power somehow. The question is why?" She thought deeply. "Hmm, Shimmers and Loveheart, can you two stop by Brightheart's lab tomorrow after tummy symbol practice? I want to try another experiment." "Sure Guidance Heart," Shimmers said. "Anything to help out." Shimmers said smiling. "For someone who is being used as a guinea pig you seem awfully enthusiastic about this." Anger Heart pointed out as Loveheart and Shimmers both rolled there eyes. "Okay, that's enough for today, see you two tomorrow." Guidance heart said. "Goodnight everyone." She said waving them off as they all waived saying goodnight to each other. -------------------------- That night with Confidence and Champ bear they had a good dinner together as the two just enjoyed one another's company. "So Sportsfan, what did you want to do now?" Champ bear asked affectionately. "Remember, you call me number one sportsfan cause you are my favorite bear," She said carressing his ears with her tails which made Champ bear blush hotly. "Oh I can think of something we can do." She giggled happily as one tail went down between his legs caressing his penis and balls with the tail tip tickling his privates as he blushed hotly on his cheeks. "Now don't resist, I know you wanted this the moment you wanted time with me all to ourselves." She said tickling his cheek with her other tail making Champ bear smile. "Yes, I don't think I'm the only one." Champ bear said as his cock was getting excited between his legs. "I Know, I want your cock champ bear, and since were married you need to please me, over and over again." She teased as this made Champ bear really excited blushing hotly on his cheeks as the two went upstairs to the room for some sweaty hot fun. ------------------------------------- When Redemptionheart and Passion got home, Redemptionheart and him ate dinner together as the two talked happily. "You gave it your best Passion, you'll get Shimmers next time." She said. "I appreciate the confidence Redemptionheart." Passion said as he just finished his last bite. "But now I need to talk to you about something." She said resting her head in her paws. "Huh? What about Redemptionheart?" He asked her thinking this was serious. "Would you fully support me if I asked you to help me kidnap two ticklish bears for a weekend for some hot tickling fun?" She smirked. "Well, as long as it pleases you, I would do anything for you." He said smiling wickedly. "Ohhh just what I wanted to hear," She giggled smiling. "But we need to set up the secret dungeon and make sure everything is ready when we kidnap my two bear friends." She said rubbing her hands together happily. "Oh you mean Aqua and Lonesome?" He inquired. "Yes, there not to powerful, and with the right help, we can render them helpless as we tickle torture them nonstop." She grinned as Passion heart liked the sound of this as the two talked privately about this further in very specific details. ------------------------------------- Loveheart bear and Shimmers arrived at home and Loveheart grabbed Shimmers tackling him to the ground till he sat down on his tummy and pinning his arms down underneath his knees. "Hey, now what did I do?" Shimmers said giggling looking up at Loveheart. "You kept your training secret from me that's what," He said grinning. "Now I'm going to punish you for that." He said scratching him underneath the chin. Shimmers blushed helplessly on his cheeks as his arms struggle to pull out but Loveheart simply applied more weight to them keeping him helplessly pinned. His fingers reached his under arms and began squeezing and tickling up and down his helplessly exposed under arms as Shimmers began shaking and giggling. "ArrahahaNooaahNonooahaahahpleeehaahahahaha!" Shimmers said unable to free his arms as he kicked his legs with Loveheart giggling as he tickled deeply in his under arms enjoying them flinching trying to run for cover. "EeeheheheeheheeLovhehehear pleehehehase I cahahahaahahahan't breahehehehaeath! ooeehahahahahahahaha!" "Take your ticklish punishment like a good carebear my little shining star." Shimmers continued to shake and squeal helplessly as Loveheart felt something poking his back side. "Aww how cute, you want me to tickle you don't you? I can see your very excited about being in this position. hehehe." Loveheart teased as he tickled his under arms faster up and down. "Arreheeheeeheeheeaahahahahaahahaaeheeheheplehehehehaahahehehase mehehercy!" Shimmers begged. "Nu-uh, now just relax and enjoy being tickle tortured hehehe." Loveheart giggled trapping his cock between his buttcracks sitting on his cock as Shimmers moaned blushing on his cheeks as he made a teasing whirring sound before tickling his under arms again as Shimmers laughed hard. "ArrahaahaheheeehahahaahahaahahaOhhaahahahahaOhahahanoaoahahahahahaOhhhahahaaohhh!" Shimmers toes opened and closed as he felt himself about to climax. But Loveheart didn't stop tickling him and rubbed his butt cheeks hard against Shimmers penis making the bear moan loudly while laughing and shaking. Loveheart kept it up nonstop for five minutes straight as Shimmers was now cry laughing as he came hard giggling happily. "Aww, you couldn't hold it in could you?" Loveheart bear said scratching him underneath the chin in a teasing fashion which made him blush even more. "Now admit you liked that." He said leaning down kissing him and nose nuzzling him. "Yehehees it was wonderful Loveheart." Shimmers confessed as Loveheart kissed him deeply and nuzzled his cheek with his muzzle. "I love you Loveheart." Shimmers said as a happy tear went down his cheek. "Aww I love you too. I love tickling you and pleasing you." Loveheart said nuzzling noses with him. "Now, let's get you cleaned up before we go to bed." He said standing up and helping Shimmers to his feet. Shimmers and him went into the shower giggling as they were tickling and washing each other totally comfortable with each other and this arrangement. When the shower was done, they both dried off together and held hands as they went off to bed together cuddling and hugging each other as the two went fast asleep. ---------------------------- Lifeheart once again was woken up feeling Shimmers bad dream about to kick in again. She closed her eyes as her horn glowed white to block out Noheart's attempt to send Shimmers the bad dream. But for some reason it hardly had any affect this time as she stood up alarmed as she heard Noheart cackling. "Oh no you don't Noheart! Not as long as I am around to protect him!" She said closing her eyes as her horn glowed brightly lighting up the entire room as that stopped the cackling from Noheart, and the light of her horn was beginning to chase away Noheart's spell. "No, stop!" Noheart said reaching out with his hand. "If you don't stop this now Lifeheart, I will go after Sweetheart and the other magi! You can't block all my bad dreams!" He threatened. "Go ahead, there all tough and know how to deal with nightmares since some of them have killed other people to protect this family," She pointed out. "But as far as Shimmers goes, you can't have him, nor will you no longer torment my SON!" She shouted as Noheart groaned as the bad dreams were chased away. But she was so tired and so spent protecting Shimmers, she could not stop the purple magic from giving them deceitful nightmares that seemed very real to them. But she was powerless to protect them as Anger, Redemption, Guidance, Sweetheart, Defiant, Loveheart or at leasts he tried, but its as if the two were one Shimmers and Loveheart so that same protection spell also protected Loveheart bear as he also saw the nice dream that she sent to Shimmers, however, Passion, even Sage Heart bear all recieved the dark nightmare of deceit. All those that did recieve the nightmare, were gnashing there teeth in there sleep and trapped unable to wake up as they saw Shimmers turn on them and attack them for no apparent reason. At the end of the dream, Shimmers stuck his saber inside Trueheart, then Nobleheart then sliced off Lifeheart's unicorn head as Sage Heart stood there helplessly crying as he cried out. "Shimmers you traitor!" as he then woke up breathing and sweating along with all the others at the sametime breathing with a high heart rate beat. Lifeheart quickly consoled him. "Sage Heart, its okay, it was just bad dream." Lifeheart said. "Shimmers, he he .... killed you and the founders!" Sage Heart said as a tear went down his face. "Noheart sent the dream, its all a lie honey you know Shimmers would never do that." Lifeheart said hugging him tightly as he began to calm down. "Its just when I protected Shimmers from Noheart's attempt to send him that nightmare, Noheart sent the bad dream to you guy's instead and I was to spent to stop it." She explained as he hugged her tightly. "You do know Shimmers would never betray us right? Sage Heart, please say something. Your starting to worry me." She said concerned hugging him tightly. Sage Heart finally got a hold of his own senses and calmed down. "I hope so, I'm sorry Lifeheart, it just seemed all so real!" He said. "It wasn't, remember when Shimmers had his dream where Trueheart died? How do you think he felt? Especially after how we treated him?" Lifeheart reminded him softly. "Yeah your right Lifeheart," Sage Heart said. "I'm sorry. I never meant to doubt Shimmers or to worry you." He said. "Come on let's get back to sleep. We need to talk to the other magi before they over react towards Shimmers tomorrow." With that, after some trouble and fear, they finally both managed to go back to sleep.
