Canadian Freedom Or Hibernation Heartsick

Chapter 2 Mom App In Motion

When everyone left the forest, the bears returned back to their home. When Charlie came over, Grizz, Panda, and Ice Bear sat together on their sofa, thinking about their plan after telling Charlie their time with their friends.

"Canada?" Charlie blinked. "You three want to go there?"

"Yes, but we still need to plan this out." Panda answered. "Passports are the first goal."

"And taking people along." Grizz remembered. "We really need to work out some of their schedules."

Ice Bear knew he would take Chloe along, but there's one person he wanted to bring, knowing it'll take weeks until he reunites with her. He made a promise to himself to show her to his brothers but he didn't know when the time was right.

"Ice Bear?" Grizz taped on Ice Bear's shoulder. "Thinking of someone to bring along?"

Ice Bear nodded. "Ice Bear will show you tonight."

Charlie crossed his arms, while looking at the ground. He wanted to come along, but at the same time, he still hasn't got over his fear of being around humans. "Aren't you gonna miss me if you do go?"

"Charlie, even if you do come along, you haven't met all of our friends." Grizz spoked.

"I was with a few of them when you came back."

"Yeah up until you headed back to the forest." Panda recalled.

"I didn't have anything to do, even when you're accepted in society, I just wanted to keep my distance from humans. I can't let go of my fear."

The bears wanted to help Charlie, but they're aware how sensitive he is. Aside from Ranger Tabes, they still feel unsure about helping him meet their friends one by one. "We will miss you." Grizz replied.

"Sorry bears, if only I can figure out a way to work out my problem."

"It's not like you couldn't control your fear." Panda replied. "I had fears I couldn't let go." As they got back to their Canada plan, there was only one way to resolve their passport problem. "Do you think we need someone to help us?"

"What do you mean?" Grizz asked.

"Like having someone to help out with the passports? Not to mention getting us in Canada? Our friends may be willing to come but if they can't get their own passports on their own, we won't be able to have our Canada adventure."

"Ice Bear can't get through the massive barrier." Ice Bear commented.

Grizz couldn't disagree. After the journey he and his brothers went through after being forced to leave San Francisco, they didn't want the same set back to ruin everything all over again. Then an idea came to Grizz. "Panda, do you still have that Mom App?"

Panda blinked from the idea, he took out his phone while looking at the apps until the one his brother just mentioned. "Yes." He responded. "I forgot to delete it."

Grizz took the phone from Panda while pressing the Mom App. "We picked three moms while having one mom...get punished since we couldn't cancel her."

"You couldn't cancel her?" Charlie asked.

"We called her mother, but it had nothing to do with cancel culture." Panda answered.

When Grizz looked through the section of moms up until the one he picked last time. "This could work." Grizz showing his brothers a picture of Gayle. "She could take care of not only our passports, but some of our friends too."

"Wait, should we think about this? You know she embarrassed us and she'll have to come with us."

"It'll be the only way to get to Canada. We can at least reason with her, she can be more than a mom."

Panda and Ice Bear wanted to believe him, but they wished there's another way. If they had the choice of picking a different mom, they would get themselves into the same predicament as before. But they agree that out of the three moms they picked, Gayle was the best.

"Okay, but there's no going back." Panda sighed.

"Ice Bear prays he doesn't take violin lessons." Ice Bear said, taking the risk.

"Charlie, you need to leave right now, the moment we press the button, she'll be right at the front door." Grizz pointed at the door.

"Okay." Charlie makes his way to the back door of the house. "Good luck with your trip to Canada."

"We'll find something to give you when we get back."

Charlie felt a little better from their gesture before he headed out, finding a different route to prevent getting attention. Grizz pressed the button on the phone and in no time, Gayle knocked on their door. Like before, they walked up to the door as Grizz opened it, revealing Gayle.

"Oh it's you boys again." She cheered. "Let's throw a party to celebrate-"

"No! No! No! No!" Both Grizz and Panda shouted.

Ice Bear pulled Gayle inside while closing the door, placing her on the sofa. "Whoa! Then we can play party video games!"

"Maybe later, but please don't do anything!" Grizz walked in front of Gayle.

"We support your supportiveness, but do it when we need it." Panda added. "Even though...that's not why we wanted you."

Gayle felt confused after listening to the honesty from the bears. "Then what do you really want from me?"

Grizz sighed while telling the truth. "We want you to help us and our friends...to get passports to Canada."

Gayle remained silent from the answer she received. She wasn't happy, but she wasn't mad either. All she wanted to do is support her boys with her part of the family, while in actuality, she's only part of an app for services. "Do you love your mom?"

The bears looked at each other, not wanting to hurt her feelings. "Yes."

"We're doing activities in Canada. If you help us, we'll do anything to prove to you we love you." Panda replied.

"Ice Bear won't keep moms in the dark." Ice Bear said.

"Well it's not that I don't like Canada, it's just doing passports is the last thing I would want to do." Gayle speaking honestly. "What kind of trip would it be like in Canada?"

"It'll...be an adventure!" Grizz coming up for the solution. "We're maybe separated in groups, but you will have a great adventure."

"You can hang out with our friends. They're really fun to be around." Panda said.

Gayle found the idea appealing, especially with the surprises coming her way. Even a mother who takes their pride seriously, it still wouldn't hurt to make friends if she helps coming along. She got up from the sofa, walked towards the bears while giving them a big hug.

"I love seeing my boys have their adventures!" She cheered. "Even if I'm not gonna be around for all of you three, you can still tell me everything that happened."

"So you're gonna help us with the passports?" Grizz wondered.

"You bet I am!"

"Great, we're sending you to Ranger Tabes and The Poppy Rangers to help them out, after we play party video games!"

"Oh!"

As Grizz turned on his video game system, he gave Gayle her controller and so did Panda. Just when he's about to give Ice Bear his controller, he made his way to the kitchen. "Ice Bear, it won't be family without you."

Ice Bear turned around before heading into the kitchen. "Ice Bear needs an important item before Ice Bear forgets."

"Oh that's right, we don't want to leave a single friend out from the adventure."

"We're waiting for y'all." Panda added.

Ice Bear entered the kitchen while opening the refrigerator. He's thankful Grizz and Panda didn't find out soon but his time ran out when the unexpected happened. He took out the necklace, from someone who they forgot to bring, and Ice Bear kept it to himself since. He however doesn't know if Grizz and Panda will catch on if they meet the person, especially Chloe, who he wanted to tell her about it. He's lucky enough to get the person's phone number the last time he crossed paths, but he's unsure if the person's willing to accept the trip to Canada.
