Blurb

The "Real" Care Bears were invited to participate in programming at Lunacon 51. They left a few hours ago. While they were gone, the Care-o-meter indicated an enormous surge of uncaring in Rye Brook. All attempts to contact the Bears have been unsuccessful. Something Evil is brewing at Lunacon and the Care Bears are somewhere at the center of it, probably in grave danger!

The Story Unfolds

The story opens with the Care Bear Second Cousins all working their shift at the Kare-Mart in downtown Care-a-Lot. The relief shift hasn't arrived yet, ETMP Bear has eaten all the pudding, and the slushie machine is on the fritz again. Nobody has come in for hours and they slowly bcome aware that the Care-o-Meter Klaxons of Uncaring are blaring incessantly up the hill at the Department of Care-Land Security.

There is some dithering about whether or not to investigate, but nobody wants to leave the store untended, so they call Overtime Bear and convince him to come in an take over. Ot Bear shows up complaining. "I'm not even supposed to be here today!! I've already worked over 70 hours this week!" Oh well. They leave, taking the Kare-Mart delivery van with them and head for Rye Brook.

The Van is on empty, but it's always on empty, so nobody thinks anything of it until they are halfway to Rye Brook and it runs out of gas and begins plummeting towards the Earth.

What's Really Going On

The Lunarians are really a secret cult dedicated to taking over the world. Lunacon exists solely to gather enough people to the Escher Hilton to sacrifice at once to summon Yog-Sothoth, the opener of ways. When the first-string Bears are killed and their souls drained into the Six Keys, the gateway to power will open and the Con Chair will live forever with powers like unto a God. The rest of the world will, of course, become a blasted wasteland.
