reese's pieces, buttercup...

The bears collided with Natha just barely managing to escape the crush. Jupiter couldn't help it; he roared a laugh. The sight of Natha shooting out from between the bears had conjured up the image of a salmon jumping up stream and the moment was just too funny to let squeak by without a laugh. He would have enjoyed a long belly laugh had not the sound drawn the attention of both bears. They turned him as one and caused the mirth to die in his throat. "Oh, fu-"Jupiter was off like a shot with both bears thundering after him.

"Whoa hey! Hey cat!" Frik he was going to get taken down and eaten by these jokers. "Cat!" he shouted. "Be a lamb and get one of these bastards off me, would ya?" Jupiter zigged and zagged for all he was worth, but he felt like he was only one step ahead of them. They deserved more credit than he'd originally given them, because the pair had him in an ever changing semi circle. When he moved away from one the other closed in and herded him back. And the circle was getting smaller by the minute.
