As Merdius, Blair, and Elinor tried to figure out what to do with the predicament they were in; downstairs in the throne room, Fergus had stopped his fake bear hunt and glanced around the room. "Shush!" He shushed everyone around him. He sniffed the air like a hound. "Somethings not right here."

Well obviously, his wife is a freaking bear!

Fergus kept sniffing the air, thinking he can locate the smell. "Follow me!" He ordered, leading everyone upstairs.

Lord Dingwall rolled his eyes, groaning. "Here we go on another hunt around the castle." Him and the rest began following the king, thinking it was another wild goose chase.

In the queens chambers, Elinor was pacing around and growling in frustration as if she was lecturing her son with her bear language.

Meridus sat on the broken bed, arms crossed as he mumbled. "There's no point in having a go at me! The witch is to blame!"

Blair slapped the back of his head. She was standing next to the bed, watching the Queen pace around. "Stop blaming the witch." She sighed, getting tired of repeating herself. "We'll go back to her cottage and sort this out."

The Queen picks up her torn dress and places it in front of her. It was too short, she wouldn't fit in. She picked up another dress but she wouldn't be able to fit that one either, or any dress for that matter. So, she decided to wrap herself in the bed sheet and leave the room.

"Mom, you can't go out there!" Merdius quickly got to his feet and blocked her path, not letting her leave. His mother glared at him, trying to tell him to move. "Dad! The bear king. If he sees you, you're dead!"

"Too late. They're coming!" Blair said as she heard t he commotion the king was making. Him and the others were heading towards their direction. Elinor looked around quickly, turning the other way.

"Mom! Wait!" Merdius whispered shouted, trying to stop her from sneaking out. He grabbed the bed sheet and snatched it from her. "Stop!" Rolling his eyes as Elinor tried to cover herself from the lack of sheet, he threw the sheet to the ground. "You're covered in fur. You're not naked. It's not like anyones gonna see you!"

Blair stood behind Merdius, gently poking his arm to get his attention. She stared at the castle-friendly maid, swallowing thickly. "Uh Mer." She whispered gaining his attention. She motioned towards the maid, Maudie, who stood there with eyes wide with shock and horror.

Elinor noticed the maid as well, giving her a small wave. Maudie screamed in horror before running as fast as she could in the opposite direction. "Look what you've done." Merdius groaned, knowing this would gain his fathers attention. He needed to get his mother to safety before they caught up.

Not even a moment later, the three heard Fergus shout with excitement. "I knew it! Let's get the evil creature!" Both Blair and Merdius glanced at each other, eyes wide.

All three ended up running in different paths. Elinor was trying to run from her husband, ending up in a room where the three triplets were playing. The Queen froze as noticed the triplets in shock, which in return, the three stared at the bear with their mouths open.

Merdius hoped his father wouldn't catch his mother. He and Blair were walking down the hallway in search of her. "We should check in here." Blair said as she quickly ran towards the door Elinor went through before. "Uh, here she is." The young girl awkwardly laughed. "And so are your brothers."

Merdius quickly ran beside her. His mother was instructing the triplets to put everything they messed up back in place. "This is a very weird sight." He said, not helping but chuckle.

The triplets noticed their brother and Blair standing at the door and pointed towards the bear, as if asking 'how the hell did this happen.'

Elinor turned around as well and pointed at the triplets in return, telling Merdius to explain everything to them.

The prince groaned as he explained everything to his brothers before asking them for a favor. "Can you help us get out of the castle?" The triplets crossed their arms and stared at him blankly, causing the older brother to roll his eyes. He knew what they wanted. "Oh, alright! You can have my deserts for two.. three weeks!"

Hubert motioned with his hand, letting his older brother know he needed to increase the offer. Merdius glared at the boys before giving in. "Fine. A year!"

This caused both Elinor and Blair to chuckle. "And I'll throw in my deserts too." The young girl said, causing the triplets to cheer. The three finally agreed to help them escape the castle without being seen.

♔♔♔

The triplets helped their brother by distracting their father and the others who were searching for their mama-bear. The little group ran to the back door as the three boys made their father go in the opposite direction.

Once they reached the exit, Elinor turned to her three little devils with a worrying expression. Blair took noticed and turned to the boys. "You three, don't get into any trouble while we're gone." She smiled at them. "I promise we'll get your mother back to normal."

The triplets hugged Blair tightly as if to say 'thank you'. Then the young girl whispered when Elinor wasn't listening. "Maybe you can cause just a little bit of trouble, just don't get caught." The three grinned at her fondly, one by one kissing her cheek.

"They'll be fine. Won't you, boys?" Merdius asked when he noticed his mothers worried look. The boys nodded their heads in fake obedience before scampering off to look for sweets. As Blair, Merdius, and Elinor left the building triplets noticed the cake their mother had left on the counter. The same cake that turned her into a bear.
