Jr Cine-Manga: Care Bears: Journey To Joke-A-Lot
The Lullaby Picnic - Part 1
One night, toddler Furaha was tossing and turning in her sleep, then she woke up with a cry, which suddenly woke hr big brother Orko, who was sleeping right next to her. “Er…what is i-oh no, Furaha! What happened?” Furaha let out some little toddlerish mumbles. “Oh, you can’t sleep. We all have ways of trying to go to sleep sometimes, but I have another one of my awesome magical ways of helping people go to sleep. Wanna see it?” “Yay!” cheered toddler Furaha, clapping her paws.
Orko cracked his knuckles and used his magic to produce three bags, a picnic hamper and a thermos. “Oooooh!” gasped toddler Furaha. “Fancy, huh? Do you know why I have all this luggage with me?” Furaha shook her head. “It’s because we’re going to Honeydew Meadow, the quietest and most secluded place on Earth. Furaha let out a sigh of contentment. She loved quiet places, and so did Orko. “And with a little magic, I can transport us there.”
He lead his sister towards the luggage and wiggled his fingers in the air, reciting some magic words:
“Once this magic spell is through,
Take us both to Honeydew!”
Just as if nothing seemed to happen, Orko’s magic really did work - in a flash, he, Furaha and the luggage were transported to a magical and enchanted meadow, with the moon and stars shining down on them like a warm and tender smile. “Oooooohhh…” gasped toddler Furaha. “Do you like it? It’s a really beautiful place. No one ever goes there quite often…but now we do, and it’s just you and me. Come on, I’ll carry two bags and the picnic hamper. You carry one bag and the thermos. Be careful, it’s still hot.”

Friends By Nature - Part 1
One bright, sunny day, Furaha, Orko and Optimus were lying in the shade of the willow tree which lowered itself right over the water. The sun was so hot it could melt a thousand ice creams. The water looked cool and inviting though. The whole scene looked pretty quiet and welcoming, as it normally does when Furaha hangs out with Orko and Optimus. As Furaha lay in the grass, a million little thoughts dancing like ballerinas on the stage of her mind, something came in. It was as if another dancer wearing a leopard onesie strutted onto the stage, and the audience of emotions was laughing and wildly applauding its arrival.
“Hey Optimus,” said Furaha at last, “Do you ever get the feeling that we just aren’t complete without a….er….someone to keep us company?” “Who cares, Furaha?” said Optimus with a snort, “I think we’re better off as we are.” “No, I’m serious,” said Furaha, “Someone else may be coming to join us. It’s not like there’s a new character in the TV show that is called ‘life’.” “You mean the nature documentary?” asked Orko. “No! No no no, I meant someone else entering our life. The thing is, I’ve been having these strange dreams for a while now, and I’m certain someone is coming to join us.” “Someone?” asked Optimus, “Come on. What more could we want? We’re just fine by ourselves here!”
Furaha just smiled and went along with accepting that fact all by herself, but that question still roamed the outback of her mind like a wandering kangaroo looking for a piece of imagination to fit his puzzle: who is this strange someone roaming my head that’s looking for somewhere to live?
