“No, you are not,” she said sternly, not an infrequent tone around here.

“Not what?” I asked, playing dumb, also not infrequent.

“You are not going camping with a giant talking bear with a…a…an owl beak!”

“Eagle,” I corrected, a bad habit.

“What?”

“Eagle. It’s obviously an eagle beak.” She didn’t look thrilled with the correction, but I continued, “You can tell by the shape, see?”

Her eyes said it all, but she kept talking anyway, “Are you insane?!”

“It’s no big deal. I have a bunch of gear to test before the September issue, and I go camping all the time—kind of my job,” I said, throwing stuff in my pack with patented ClikLok adjustable weight distribution.

“Seth! I don’t care about camping. It’s the giant talking bear you’re taking with you!”

I shrugged, “He seems harmless, and who knows what the Jensens next door will do if they see him.” I looked outside. The bear was still on the porch, mumbling through the door, pleading, tears in his giant eyes.

“Fine,” she said, “I’m coming too.”

    Double bonus mega points for anyone who knows the reference for the title. And please let me know if and when this series starts to suck.

    I don’t know what the title references too, but I do know this is a good series so far. And I’m pretty sure you can keep it interesting. Good job.

    The title comes from the very weird Spaz Attack by 2nu. Holy pop obscurity, batman!

    I wonder what the three of them are going to get up to in the woods.

    Also, is the search party looking for the birdbear? If so, are they looking with good or evil intent?

    Very interesting thus far
