The bears were pulling back the curtains and opening the door, letting the fresh rain smell come in. It had been raining all afternoon and had just now cleared up. Grizzly stood in the door way taking in a deep breath. Panda was pulling back the curtains to the front window when he suddenly let out a startled yell, causing his brothers to look over at him.
"What is it Pan-pan?" Grizzly asked, turning in the door way towards Panda. Panda pointed outside at the woods.
"I saw something outside!" He exclaimed. Grizzly looked outside again, squinting against the growing darkness. He shrugged and looked at Panda again.
"Don't worry, it was probably just a squirrel or-" He was cut off by Panda yelling.
"There it is again! Look!" Grizzly turned just in time to see a white blur go by. His eyes widened in surprise and he leaned out a little. Some bushes rustled nearby, causing him to flinch back. Panda and Ice Bear now stood behind him, watching outside. The rustling stopped and out of the bushes came a small white and brown bear cub who watched the three bears with caution and curiosity. Panda and Grizzly relaxed and came out a little. Grizzly bending down to look at the cub.
"Uh, hey there?" He semi-greeted the cub. The cub responded by narrowing its eyes in suspicion and taking a few steps back. Grizzly stood up again and looked around. "Hello! Did someone loose a cub!" He called out, only to be met with silence. The cub looked close to running away now.
"Grizz, what should we do?" Panda asked his older brother in a hushed tone.
"Bring them inside of course! We can't just leave a cub out in the wild!" Grizzly replied, rushing inside to find something to catch the cub, guessing they wouldn't willing come into the cave.
"What! Grizz are you sure that's a good idea! They could be, I don't know, dangerous or something!" Panda said as Grizzly rushed past with a net.
"Ice bear thinks this is bad idea." Ice bear put in. Grizzly stopped to look at his brothers.
"Oh come on guys! It's just a cub! How dangerous could they be?" He asked then slowly started approaching the cub. The cub instantly turned and tried to run back to the bush, only for the net to come down on them and be scooped up. "Caught them!" He yelled back then started making his way back to the cave. The cub kept twisting in the net, trying to get out. Grizzly walked into the cave and shut the door behind him, Ice bear and Panda stood to the side, watching him. Panda was looking at the squirming cub.
"I still don't think this is a good idea." Panda muttered. His eyes widened when he saw Grizzly preparing to release the cub inside the cave. "What you're not going to really let them loose in here are you!"
"Of course I am! Wouldn't be very nice to keep them in a net all night." Grizzly said looking at Panda. He released the net and the cub instantly shot out of the net, looking around frantically for a way out. It bolted for the door, slamming into it. It stood up, shaking itself before looking at the window. It leaped up, scratching at the glass and causing the bears to cover their ears from the sound. When that didn't work it leaped down and glared at the three bears. Its ears went back and it began growling. The three brothers widened their eyes at the cub's sudden aggression, slowly backing away as the cub got closer and closer, trying to corner them.
"Uh, they're getting closer, Grizz." Panda said with a shaky voice. Grizzly let out a nervous laugh.
"Don't worry, they're just a cub. They can't hurt us." He said, trying to sound reassuring and failing. The cub suddenly lunged forward as a warning charge, causing Grizzly and Panda to let out startled yelp and all three bears to suddenly jump back. The cub continued to approach them slowly, still growling.
"Guys, we should run." Grizzly said turning to his younger brothers. Before they could say anything or even nod in agreement, the cub charged again, this time with its claws out and snapping. Ice bear quickly got out of the cub's way and grabbed his brothers, all three now running away from the aggressive cub.
"Ice bear knew this was bad idea." Ice bear told Grizzly as they ran into the next room.
