Story Part Two

The long history of these unwanted bears began with Grump Gilman. Grump was born on November 11, 1997 and in my opinion, hes done more harm to the human race than any other person to ever walk the earth. Grump grew up loving bears more than anything in the world. His love for bears in addition to his extreme awkwardness made everyone hate him. Grump was a genius but since he had dyslexia and attention deficit disorder he failed school and dropped out at the age of sixteen. A few weeks after Grump dropped out he had the idea to make bears be able to communicate with him so he would have someone to talk to. It began as a hobby but soon it took up every waking moment of his life. He had a few breakthroughs but he suddenly became ill and died having accomplished nothing but teaching a bear sign language. Grump's legacy was left in a pile of old video journals he had kept while conducting his experiments. Several years after he had died his nephews were playing hide and seek in their grandparents house and they found his videos. They began watching them and they thought they were so ridiculous that they put them on the Internet to become the next hit on YouTube. Two years later a young man also named Grump Gilman found these videos and thought it was his destiny to complete Grump's legacy and create a talking bear. The new Grump was far more successful in his experiments than the old Grump. He was doing so well that the US Army hired him and turned his hobby into top secret “Operation Bearclaw.” After nearly 300 years of secret genetic testing and modification Operation Bearclaw reached a dead end. They produced two bear-human hybrids, but they were useless to the Army. One of them was a male and the other a female. Their names were Yogie and Eve, these two barely could be called bears from a scientific perspective because almost all of their dna was replaced with that of humans or chimpanzees. However, they do have a similar physical attributes like the bears you know. They are about the size of an average person and their skin is covered with a soft coat, with colors like you are used to with bears. Their heads and faces look similar to your bears as well, and they can talk but for some reason almost every one of them have very soft, effeminate voices. After Operation Bearclaw ended they planned to terminate Yogie and Eve, but they escaped before the Army had the chance. Yogie and Eve hated humans for what they had done to them in the years of being held captive. They devised a plan to get back at the humans and take over America. As soon as they escaped they went public and after the initial shock, tree-huggers and animal rights activists welcomed them into our culture. Yogie and Eve toured the world, making billions of dollars which allowed them to move to a remote island in the Philippines where they would build an army of thousands of little bear-human babies in secret. They passed on their hatred for humans to these offspring and when they were full grown they launched their attack on America. It immediately failed but because people are stupid they were welcomed back into our society. Years passed and the bears welcome wore off and they were moved into bear-ghettos where food was scarce and hardly any of them had the opportunity for an education. As a result of this almost all of the bear youth were involved in violent bear gangs. These gangs seemed somewhat harmless at first because of the bears inability to sound threatening due to their soft, lispy voices. No one took them seriously so nothing was done until it was too late. By the time we discovered the heinous crime and living conditions of the ghettos there was nothing that could be done. They were beyond help and the population in the ghettos went up almost 600% because of welfare. Even though it was a lost effort from the start the government tried to fix the bears by taking them out of the ghettos and putting them in good communities throughout the country. Unfortunately, Gaphole was one of these communities. They stormed into our quiet town with their ridiculous bear-thug behavior and little girl voices. Nobody wanted them here and they didn't want to be here. They were forced into our school. Apparently several of them were members of opposing gangs. Recently a museum was opened in our town and we were given extra-credit to take the opening day tour. The whole school was there and as Denlin and I walked through the primitive hunting exhibit we saw of the two bears from the opposing gangs begin to get a little scruff. Everyone always liked to watch these because their raspy little girl voices made them hilarious. As I watched the speech impaired whisper fight, along with everyone else in the room, I heard a zing sound from behind me. I turned just in time to see Denlin jump in front of we and take a crossbow arrow to the chest. A little girl bear who had been left unsupervised had picked up the ancient crossbow, which was loaded for some inexplicable reason, and as she awkwardly fumbled it between her paws it fired. The arrow was headed strait for me and Denlin saved my life. Right before he died I promised him I would make things right. That is why I have written this letter and sent it back in time for you. I need you to find Grump Gilman and become his friend so he never has to make friends with a bear. It is very important that you do this for me and if my friend is returned to me I promise to send the scores of the next 300 Super Bowl games in my next letter.
