There was a rustle in the bushes.

   "Wh-what is that?"

   Out of the bushes jumped a big mass of white. It lept out and landed on top of (Y/N). She let out a scream.

   She looked up to see two small, black eyes staring down at her. "M-M-M-Matthew...," she called for Matthew quietly .

   He made his way over to her as he muffeled his laughter.

"Wh-why are you laughing!?" She asked at a quiet yell.

The animal on top of (Y/N) looked up at Matthew. It jumped off of her and onto him. (Y/N) let out a small screech, but Matthew just chuckled.

   "This is what I wanted you to see," Matthew said as he pat the animal on the head. (Y/N) looked up to see a small polar bear in his arms.

   "This is Kumajirou, my best friend." (Y/N) looked up at the bear and it looked at her with an emotionless expression.

She stood up and cautiously extended her hand to the animal. It stared at her hand then looked up at Matthew. He gave a small nod and set Kumajirou down.

   The polar bear approached (Y/N). It looked up at her and set one paw on her foot.

   "D-does he want something?" She asked nervously, not wanting to upset the animal.

"He wants you to pick him up," Matthew said with a smile.

(Y/N) reached down and carefully lifted the small polar bear. He was surprisingly light, and rested easily in her arms.

(Y/N) sat back down with the bear in her lap. He curled up, like a dog, and nuzzeled his head on her leg.

"He likes you," Mathew said joyfully. This was the first time Kumajirou had met another human besides Matthew. He had been hoping it would go well... He really liked (Y/N) and wanted his best friend to like her too.

(Y/N) smiled shyly as she gently stroked the snow white fur of the polar bear. He lifted his head to look at Matthew. Matthew and Kumajirou stared at each other for a moment. The bear tilted its head and Matthew's face went redder then it already had been.

   "K-Kumajirou! P-please d-don't ask things like that...," Matthew stuttered.

    "Wait, you can understand him?"

   Matthew stared blankly at (Y/N) "Y-yeah... I thought you would be able to too."

   (Y/N) shook her head, and Matthew let out a small sigh of relief. "What did he say that made you so flustered?"

    Matthew frantically shook his head. "I-It was nothing important." He attemped to laugh it off. He didn't even know why Kumajirou had asked if (Y/N) was his girlfriend.

   (Y/N) could tell it had been something, but did not press the matter since Matthew did not want to talk about it.

   Kumajirou lept out of (Y/N)'s lap and to the edge of the clearing. He looked back at Matthew and (Y/N).

   "Eh? He wants to show us something," Matthew said as he stood. He reached out to (Y/N) and helped her stand up. "Let's go," he said.
