"Does that bear have opposable thumbs?" Dante asked Nadine, "How is it climbing the sheet rope?"

"RUN!" shouted Dante, as they slammed the window shut, and ran out of the room and into the hallway, locking the door behind them.

"Maybe he is time jumping a bear from an alternate reality; one where THEY are the sentient beings? I wonder if he is the Bear in Black?? " asked Dante, as they locked the door behind them.

They leaned against the locked door breathing hard, when they slowly turned their heads to see the bear's face looking in at them from a window in the hallway.
Re: Let's Write a Novel
The bear came closer and closer, and then knocked on the door nice like asking if he could come in.

Nadine had a puzzled look on her face, and asked the bear (through the door), "So, are you nice, and just asking to come in, or what?"

Re: Let's Write a Novel
"If you're looking for Mongo, he doesn't live here anymore," Dante spoke in an exaggerated fashion, thinking it would be easier for the bear to understand him through the door.
Re: Let's Write a Novel
"Oh no," the bear replied, "I gave him his stuff last week, I am looking for Dante"

Dante tried to recall what he had done the last time he took the bear suit out of the shed, but he had been so very drunk, it was a bit hazy.

As the bear asked that question, he immediately remembered why Dante wouldn't remember him; Dante's memory had been wiped the last time they had been in the lab together.

Dante probably didn't even remember that he had lost an arm and his current was one cutting-edge synthetic technology.
Re: Let's Write a Novel
Just in that instant, it hit him, he remembered that he has a robotic arm and that it can change into a cannon.

He aimed his robotic cannon arm at the floor, and blew a hole big enough for him and Nadine to drop through, maybe they could escape this crazy, talking bear with opposable thumbs and jet pack yet!

Nadine wondered if it had secretly been Peter dressed as a more realistic bear wearing a jet pack, but she didn't dare say anything.

"It's always something around here, isn't it? Why can't we ever just have a quiet evening at home? Without bears or jetpacks or the DEA???"; Nadine was close to tears.

Just then, a bright spotlight shone through the hole that was blown in the ceiling, and a loud voice boomed over a speaker from a hovering helicopter, "Stop, we are DEA agents, and we're here to pick up the bear in the jet pack!"

The bear, however, had a cyanide capsule hidden inside one of its teeth. It bit down, and within moments it was dead.

The head DEA guy was sad; "Aw shucks! This is the third suicide this week. Imma go kick rocks, let's go guys...." he said, and the DEA agents degectedly went back the way they had come.

Peter began rethinking his sudden reappearance, and seriously considered slinking away back into the forest.

Just then a pair of hands come out from the ground and grabs them and drags them down.

The tunnel was not as cramped as Nadine had imagined; it was air conditioned, had electric lights lighting the way, and pretty colorful mosaics decorating the walls.

There was one particular mosaic that caught her eye; it depicted a 4 toed Egyptian figure holding an ankh, with smaller figures dancing around its' base.
