Bearbubb

* Current
* First SMP skin

**Bear** (aka bearbubb in game) is the founder of the Bear SMP, the server's owner, and its first member. He joined on June 9th of 2021. Bear in his lore mentions he used to be apart of another server called "The Perfect SMP". Not much is known about this SMP (as of 15/08/21) but its seemed to have made a big impact on the poor bear.

After living a lonely life in a cave for some time unknown, Aimsey comes along and Bear begrudgingly agrees to let her stay. Bear then shows her around the SMP.

## Appearance

Bear's appearance in game appears as a golden-yellow bear. He wears a scarlet-red cape, made by Niki, as well as cuffed blue overalls and a red poppy from Aimsey tucked into the front pocket.

In the Chapter 2 introductory lore stream ("A New Page"), Bear is seen wearing his iconic red cape, but instead of overalls, he wears a black suit underneath. He also wears brown shoes as well with the suit.

## Personality

Bear is considered a grump, sometimes a bit wary of those who are new to the SMP but otherwise he is kind and friendly in his own bearish ways. Sometimes he grows sentimental over his pumpkin wife, Lard, and the events of the PerfectSMP. At first he seems like an old, grumpy bear, but with the help of Aimsey and the other SMP members he's slowly breaking out of his shell (hopefully).

He does state he doesn't want to be grumpy and doesn't want to be the big scary bear in a cave.

## **THE BEARSMP**

The stream opens up with Bear in his cave alone. He hears a voice, Aimsey, outside his door. He goes to speak to her, and asks her why she is here. There are signs surrounding his house that say **'NO FRIENDS PLS'** and other signs with similar messages. Aimsey explains how she has been travelling for a while and could not read the signs. Bear yells at her for opening his door, and she offers a proposal. Aimsey suggests that Bear seems lonely and Bear is outraged, telling Lard, his dear wife, that everything is sorted. Bear tells Aimsey that he does not need anyone else except Lard. Aimsey continues to mess with his door to annoy him to the point he lets her stay. Bear tells Aimsey that if she stays, she must not mess about and she agrees to stay and be his best friend. Bear invited her in from the rain and Aimsey tells Bear that she likes his house a lot.

Bear then introduces Aimsey to Chat, the dog.

Bear provides Aimsey with materials and helps her find an area to build her home. Bear has many materials, and Aimsey asks if he has so much because he was lonely and Bear introduces Lard and Aimsey meets her. Afterwards, they travel back outside to build her home. Bear wants to 'keep tabs' on where everyone is and Aimsey suggests that he has trust issues. Aimsey begins to build her house and Bear observes her *wonderful* building skills.

Aimsey tells Bear that she plans to rebuild her house another time- without inviting Snifferish onto the server to build it for her.

Bear tells Aimsey how he tried to make an SMP and shows the old town hall. The signs read '**THE TOWN HALL THAT WOULD BE FULL IF I HAD ANY FRIENDS AT ALL'**

Aimsey is optimistic to create the town hall but Bear is nervous to start making new friends. Aimsey tells Bear that he's not scary no matter how hard he tries to be, and Bear doesn't understand how she is not scared of him when he is a big bear who lives in a cave. Aimsey tells him she wants to be his friend 07because she hasn't spoken to people in a while and gives him bread. Aimsey offers to fix the town hall but Bear is not ready. They travel back to Aimsey's house and continue to build. Bear travels back to his cave to get cake and as he walks back, he looks up at Aimsey and removes his sign saying **'No Friends Pls'.**

Aimsey comes too and suggests that he remove his vines to improve his home. Aimsey heads back to her own home, and Bear goes to talk to Chat. He asks what he is meant to do, and how on Day One he made a friend. He plants the flower that Aimsey gave him in his home and begins to take down all his vines.

He begins to renovate his house whilst Aimsey builds hers.

A chat message comes up: '**OriLovesTea joined the game.'**

A voice appears, belonging to Ori, and says hello to Bear after appearing in his house. Bear is completely confused, and shouting at him, asking how he got into his house. Ori introduces himself as Ori and Bear is extremely confused about how Ori is in the SMP. Bear asks Ori why he is here, and he says he doesn't know and he just appeared. He throws bread to Bear and dismisses his question about how he got it. Ori runs out of the cave to say hello to Aimsey whilst she is building.
Aimsey is taken aback to see a new person on the SMP and they trade bread. Aimsey pulls Bear aside and questions him on Ori and how he got there. Aimsey greets Ori and invites him to the town and makes friends with him. Bear is skeptical about letting him stay. Aimsey asks many times *'**Can we keep him?'*** and Bear finally agrees. Bear tells Ori that if he intends to stay on the BearSMP, he is not allowed to be annoying.

Aimsey shows excitement to have a new member of the community and offers Ori a tour of the house whilst Bear gathers supplies for Ori's house. Bear overhears Ori say he will not make his own house and crash with Bear instead. Bear consults Lard who immediately agrees to let Ori stay. Bear does not want Aimsey to leave him alone with Ori as he doesn't trust him; however, Aimsey convinces Bear that Ori is trustworthy.

Ori asks Bear if he knows what is going to happen next, and Ori states that all Bear has done is eat, sleep and exist and not try to live life to the fullest. Ori tells Bear he cannot release much about what he mentioned. Ori walks away, about to leave, before Aimsey stops him and tells Ori that if he stays and builds a house, they can make a cool place together. Ori says, '***The thing about friends is that they can only take you so far,'*** and Aimsey contradicts him and tells him that friends will be there until the end. Ori agrees to be their friend as long as he is not held responsible for any sadness or any death. Bear allows him to stay and provides him with a bed. Bear says that he does not trust Ori, and Aimsey goes to her home. Ori says goodnight, but stops Bear before he sleeps. Ori tells Bear to check his mailbox, and Bear laughs it off, saying that he never gets mail and there would be no point. Ori tells Bear to trust him, so Bear goes to check his mail. He finds a letter titled '**Hello Old Friend'** from **'Nihachu'.** It reads…

> *"Hello Bear,*
>
>
>
>
>
>

*Long time no see. It's been a while but I've been meaning to get back in touch. I can't believe it's been 5 years since we last spoke, how have you been? It's been so long since our laughs and cries! I spent a while looking for you (as we all know you like to keep secrets) but I'm happy I succeeded! I should be visiting you soon, I miss you.*

> *Yours Sincerely, Niki."*
>
>
>

>
>

Ori tells Bear that he has met Niki before and they used to be very dear friends. Bear tells Ori that he can't do this and wants to be left alone.

## **MEET THE NEW MEMBERS, LORE**

Bear logs onto the server, to see Aimsey and someone named Jonah Will on the server. Bear is explaining about how he re-arranged his house when Jonah appears at his door with a horse and asks Bear who he is. Bear is unhappy, as Jonah just broke into his house.

Jonah says how he hasn’t seen civilization in a while, and Bear takes him into the house and introduces Lard and Chat. Jonah has been adventuring with his horse and Bear asks, ***‘When you were going for your adventures, did you see anything out of the ordinary?’*** which Jonah responds with no and he has just been travelling for a long time, looking for people.

Bear assumes Aimsey had invited Jonah, however Jonah knows nothing about Aimsey.

Similar to how Bear told Aimsey, Bear tells Jonah to not mess around if he stays, and provides materials to build a home.

Considering Jonah is staying, Bear begins a tour to show him around. Aimsey comes out of her house, and asks Bear who Jonah is and they both try to come to an agreement about who can stay. Aimsey tells Bear she is proud of him, before running over to Jonah to greet him. Aimsey tours Jonah round her brand new treehouse and talks about how the area only has a few friends. Bear takes Jonah to build his house and whilst he chooses his plot of land, Bear asks him about his travels. Jonah explains how he has been through a lot of things such as battles and he and Seeds, his horse, took away to find a better life.

Bear gives advice for the server - don’t wander too far and keep to yourself. Bear then leaves Jonah to build his house and travels back to his own and talks about friends and why everyone is just a friend, and nobody is his best friend. He continues to build on his own and expand out.

A new person, CreeperNeptune joins the server and Bear is visibly confused. Neptune explains how they were looking for a temple, and  didn’t expect anybody to be there.

Neptune has a map, and they begin searching ⁸through Bear’s chest trying to find something. Bear is frustrated, gives them some food and asks why they are here. Neptune explains that they are looking for glow squids. Neptune asks to stay as the area is the only place marked on their map and if they could stay, they could go to find treasure. Bear finally agrees to let Neptune stay, and Neptune tells Bear that they can find treasure for him.

Bear takes Neptune outside, and follows them to the river to see if there are any glow squids. After seeing there is none, Neptune requests to stay and see whether any glow squids will come. Bear is hesitant to let Neptune stay as long as they bring treasures such as diamonds and gold and emeralds. Bear tours Neptune and provides building materials for them. He advises Neptune to also keep to themself like he did with Jonah. Neptune admits to lying about the temple, and Bear tells them that it upset him. Neptune leaves Bear’s cave and Bear is left alone with Chat. He revisits the broken down town hall and plans what he invisions.

He heads back home, and realises that he had been quite rude to Aimsey previously, and goes to apologise and talk to her. Bear explains to Aimsey about Neptune joining and Aimsey is shocked by the fact that lots more people are joining, but she is excited. Bear tells Aimsey that he is nervous because ‘***friends can only lead to two things - either happiness or sadness.’*** He doesn’t want to take any chances and is reluctant to make new friends. Aimsey is growing more optimistic about the future and plans to have parties and meet-ups with the other people on server whereas Bear is less enthusiastic. Bear has been meaning to tell Aimsey something about what happened in the old SMP and explain why he struggles to trust new people. Aimsey gives Bear a flower, and explains about the perfect SMP.
***‘I haven’t always been like this...I haven’t always lived in a cave. The BearSMP wasn’t my first SMP. I had an SMP before, called the PerfectSMP. And in that SMP, it was perfect. I had so many friends, family, and a wife. But, I kept my hopes too high and the SMP crumbled. It turned to war and I was the only one that walked away, alive. It wasn’t my fault, it’s how every SMP goes. I’ll tell you this, I will not let it happen again.’*** Aimsey tells Bear she will look after him, and keep an eye on the SMP to make sure everything will be okay. Bear makes Aimsey promise that she will not mess around, and she departs back home. Bear goes to sleep.

## **BEARSMP (stream)**

Bear starts his stream to show his brand new house. It has a slightly bigger layout and more windows. He also shows a new tunnel he had created in the back of the house, and called it an escape route or exit point. Aimsey get’s Bear’s attention through messing with his door (reflecting how they met) and takes him to something she made. Aimsey had built a large monument, in honour of the PerfectSMP in an attempt to show her support for Bear, but it backfires. She explains that the monument represents a part of the PerfectSMP in the BearSMP and asks if he likes it, and Bear’s answer is no. He says he doesn’t want it and wants her to take it down. Neptune and Jonah try to get Bear to see the good parts in it, and that Aimsey spent a long time creating it.

Bear, in a very anxious and stressed out state, begins to desperately look through his chests and Jonah tries to console him. Bear tells Jonah he wouldn’t understand, and it’s a long story. To help get his mind off of things, Jonah takes Bear to build a bridge across the river and Jonah talks about how he came from the direction they were building in. Bear asks why Aimsey did this, and Jonah explains that Aimsey’s intentions were good, and she just wanted to help him remember the people he lost. Jonah doesn’t pressure Bear into explaining, and knows that Bear will tell them all in time when he is comfortable.

They turn around to see Ori sat upon Seed’s home. Ori had been on his travels for a while, and returned here. It’s the first time Jonah and Ori have met, and Ori notices a lot has changed since she left. Ori is holding a sword and diamonds, but once Bear pointed it out, he put them away. Ori overheard the conversation they were having, and Jonah goes to find his greeting present. Bear tells Ori that he has filled Jonah in as to who Ori is. Jonah has been collecting gifts for everyone on the server. Bear tells Ori he arrived at the wrong time as he isn’t in the mood to talk about the PerfectSMP. Ori mentions Niki and Jonah does not know Niki. Bear explains why he didn’t like the monument; he didn’t want to accept that the PerfectSMP was truly gone. Ori tells Bear that he needs to accept that the SMP is gone and move onto something better.

Bear tells Ori that not everyone needs a meaning in life, and ‘just being all you wanna be is fine.’ He also tells them that he needs his time to accept what has happened. Ori asks how much more time he will need, after 4 years of being alone, and Bear ignores the question and continues to build the bridge. Ori tells Jonah that Bear is not like this, and Jonah vaguely talks to Ori about his past. Ori doesn’t know why he appeared here, and why he came but he is and he wants to help. Bear tells them that he knows he can’t keep letting people leave his life just because of the fear that in the end, either will get hurt. He doesn’t want to be scary, or grumpy and be the bear that lives in the cave, and Aimsey and Jonah are the first people to not be scared of Bear and treat him as a friend.

After some time ,Bear has a good idea how to apologise to Aimsey after being encouraged by Ori. He goes back to his home and collects a poppy from his chest. Jonah tells Ori that he’s been through a lot of adventures and the SMP is the first place he came across. Bear removes the walls from the monument and places 5 blocks of dirt on top. He makes sure Jonah and Ori also have a flower. Ori chooses an Allium, which is also Niki’s favourite flower. Bear plans that when Aimsey comes, they all place their flowers onto the monument. Bear decorates the monument with torches and they wait for Aimsey and Neptune to arrive. Bear tells Jonah that the PerfectSMP was where he called home for a while, and admitting it’s gone is one of the hardest things he will ever have to do, but with Jonah and Ori's help, he will be able to get there. Jonah runs to get his present, which is a Jack-O-Lantern to create a Light-Up Lard.

Aimsey and Neptune arrive and Neptune and Ori greet each other for the first time. Aimsey thanks Jonah and walks over to Bear. Bear then apologises to Aimsey for the way he acted, and Ori very aggressively drinks honey in the background. Bear tells Aimsey the monument was a shock but he is ready to accept help from his new friends and family is a good thing. He thought that never accepting the loss of the PerfectSMP would mean he would never have to experience the loss of a friendship again. They all walk up to the monument and place the flowers and change the sign in the front from *‘*<3 for those who we lost in the perfect smp’ to say ‘friends are ok :)’

They all love the monument, and laugh together.

Aimsey asks Ori where he went, and he says how he went away to far away lands. Aimsey then tours Ori around her treehouse. Bear goes on top of his cave and sits upon the bench.

Aimsey has a chest with all her favourite things, which has her disc she found and a book from Bear. Bear goes to his home and puts Light-Up Lard back into his home.

Aimsey returns to build her home, and Bear brings Ori to the side to talk to him. Bear tells him, ***‘I don’t know who you are, or where you came from. But you seem to know a lot about me.’*** Bear asks him ***‘When will I be happy?’*** Ori replies saying that he has known Niki for a long time, and didn’t know she knew Bear and tells Bear he sees things how they are and analyses it to make informed predictions on how things will turn out. Bear asks what he sees for the SMP and Ori says he sees something he doesn’t like as he has seen it somewhere else before, but honestly couldn’t tell what was going to happen next, and who will suffer and who will be happy. Ori assures Bear that things will get better, but he has to allow it to happen and get out of this attitude. He tells Bear that it was his fault that he ignored the nice action Aimsey created, but also went through with a nice deed of renovating it. Bear realises that he is in charge of his own happiness. Ori just disappears and asks for more honey before leaving.

Bear realises he needs to apologise to Neptune and finds him in his home. Neptune explains that Aimsey seems happier after what he did with the monument and Bear asks him about his quest to see the glow Isquids. Neptune gets very excited and shows the Glow Ink Sacks that Jonah had gifted him. This fills Neptune with happiness as he gets to have that proof of the Glow Squid's existance. Bear jokes about getting his rent paid, and Neptune showers him with gold ingots. Bear goes to find Jonah and apologise to him next. He thanks him for helping him previously and asks him about his journeys. Jonah says he isn’t ready to share yet, but assures he has had good at bad moments in life. Bear apologises again and also says sorry to Seeds and laughs about Ori’s sudden appearance on top of Seeds’ home.

Bear goes to find Aimsey to apologise to her again. He tells her that he wants to remember the good parts and let go to stop thinking about the bad moments. Aimsey tells him that he is not alone anymore, and everything is okay between them and she appreciates his apology. She gives him an apple, and he tells her he prefers bread instead. They say goodnight and get some sleep. Aimsey says love you to Bear before she leaves but Bear does not respond.

## **The Girl from Above and the Boy from Below**

The stream starts with Bear planning to finish a portal. A loud crash and bang comes over the stream, and it cuts to a cinematic made by FruitLegs and Guqqie.

The stream returns to Bear in his house looking round and trying to work out why the ground shook and a loud noise came over the SMP. He asks in chat whether the other members had heard it, and he armours up in case it is something dangerous like a nuke. He spots fire in the distance, and Aimsey and Jonah are also very confused. Bear follows the trail after the fire and finds random quartz blocks around. A large crater is on the floor, and Bear looks down to see a person, Guqqie. She looks up at Bear and tells him she is fine.

Guqqie tells Bear she fell from the sky and that the hole was there when she got there. Guqqie asks where she is and Bear tells her that she is in the BearSMP. Bear doesn't know what to do and Guqqie says she doesn't know either. Guqqie says to Bear that her family lives nearby and asks to have a phone to contact her family. Bear tells Guqqie that he does not like phones, but does have a book.

Bear asks Guqqie's name and they greet one another. Bear asks Guqqie about the loud crash and Guqqie says she heard the noise too. They follow Bear into his house and Bear explains what the BearSMP is. Aimsey comes over and Guqqie and Aimsey speak.

Guqqie tells Aimsey that she fell into the large crater rather than telling Aimsey she was in the crash. Aimsey offers her food and Aimsey asks where Guqqie is from. Before Guqqie can answer, Bear hands Guqqie a book to see whether she can contact hoke with it. Aimsey pulls Bear aside and asks what happened. Guqqie looks at Lard whilst Aimsey and Bear talk more and Bear assures Aimsey that he can handle things. Guqqie tells Bear she doesn't know how to write and asks Bear if he has any portals. Bear gets excited and says that he was just constructing a portal before she arrived.

They both go to the portal and light it up. Before Guqqie can go through, another person comes into the SMP. Bill, a skeleton, walks through and asks 'What's going on?'. Bear asks who he is and where he came from. Bill tells everyone that he came from hell and walks towards the SMP. Aimsey pulls Bear aside

Guqqie tells Bill that she is a human. Bill asks Guqqie what the 'silly glass dome' on her head is and she tells him it's a helmet. Guqqie asks what Bill's bandana is and they both look at each other trying to work out who they are.

Bill asks 'has anyone seen my legs?' and they all notice his strange lack of real legs. Everyone goes through the portal to see Bill's home. Bill tells them that he rents this home from Satan. On his wall, there are signs saying 'Day 1' all the way to 'Day 400' and then various keyboard smashes. Bear, Guqqie and Bill head back to the SMP and go to Bear's house.

Aimsey finds Neptune and Jonah and explains what happened. Aimsey is unnerved by how a girl has fallen from the sky and a skeleton has come from the portal. Neptune is really confused and Jonah asks where Guqqie came from. Aimsey is confused by Bear's implications about where Guqqie is from (When Aimsey asked, Bear just nodded his head above, indicating 'up' but Aimsey took it to be possibly the Sun) They begin to panic a bit and Aimsey warns them not to go into the portal.After coming back from Hell, Bear asks why Bill is here and Bill tells him that he is getting evicted from Hell and implies that he should stay. Bear explains that he feels bad for them and offers that they stay in the SMP. Bill immediately runs off to start building and Guqqie asks Bear if she can stay until she finds a way home. Bear asks if she is okay and she tells him that she will be fine. Bear advises her to not mess around.

(Bear forgets the name of Phantoms and calls them elytras. They struggle to sleep and change it to daytime but eventually they get through it.)

Aimsey leads Jonah to the crater but just as they arrived, they had to head back to sleep. When they wake up, the sun is up in the sky and Guqqie is still in the SMP so their worries about her being the Sun.

Bear tours Guqqie around the SMP and takes Guqqie to meet Jonah and Neptune. Aimsey stands in front of Jonah and Neptune and tells Guqqie that they are all earthlings.

Bear pulls Aimsey aside and tells her that they think Guqqie is some sort of alien but she doesn't want them to know so pretends to be human. Jonah and Neptune overhear Bear say that Guqqie fell out the sky. Aimsey asks where Bill is and Jonah and Neptune are updated on what happened when they weren't there.

Guqqie and Jonah are left in the SMP and Jonah asks how Guqqie came from the sky. Guqqie tells him that she tripped and fell in the whole and is from a far away land that he wouldn't know. Jonah asks to see the crater so they both follow back to find it. Guqqie tells Jonah about Bill's rotting legs and Jonah apologises if he had been rude before. Jonah finds some white and purple blocks and they begin to put out the fire. Guqqie suggests that they don't remove any of the strange blocks in case they are important. Jonah tells Guqqie he needs to speak to Bear and heads back to the SMP and looks for the others. Guqqie is glad that the members of the SMP are 'fooled' by her and she is proud of herself for hiding her non-human-ness. She runs around and looks at all the different animals and buildings. She tells Chat that she is not human (if we couldn't tell) and plans to build a house. She heads back to the main area of the SMP and finds an area to build. She realises she is running out of food and has no tools so goes to find them but finds Aimsey in the meantime. Aimsey offers to help Guqqie, and searches for materials for her. Aimsey talks to her about her old home and they talk about Brad. Aimsey asks whether Guqqie is staying and she says she will stay until she can go home.

Aimsey gives her a pink tulip and tells Guqqie that no matter what time it is, she will protect her.

In the meantime of Jonah and Guqqie exploring the crater, Bear asks to speak to Aimsey. They go into Bear's house and Aimsey tells Bear that there's a dilemma. The fact that a girl who came from above and a skeleton man living in the SMP is crazy, and Aimsey says that they don't exist. Bear tells Aimsey that there must be a reason that so many people have come to the SMP in the past week. Bear thanks Aimsey for opening his eyes to the thought of friendship and Aimsey tells Bear that she is proud of her.

Aimsey tells Bear that a mailman came and gave her a feather and advises that he check his mailbox. Before Aimsey goes, she says that she loves him but Bear just says okay and thinks about the mailman. He checks his mailbox and finds another letter, so goes back home and opens it. It reads:

***'To Bear, I'm nearly there. Taking the long way round. By my estimates, I should be there around July 2nd. See you soon! - Niki'***

Bear turns to find Jonah standing there and is excited to hear that Niki is coming. He begins to run towards the community house and rapidly tries to fix up the place. He sits down at the community fireplace.

When Bear ran out of his house, and hit Jonah to get past, Jonah decided to speak to Neptune.

Neptune tells Jonah he had Bill's legs from an expedition and then Bill was angry with him and took some of his stuff. Jonah tries to work out what happened, and they go back towards the crater so Jonah can show Neptune the strange blocks. Jonah tells Neptune that he is a little skeptical about Guqqie and that he is *'absolutely bamboozled'.*

Jonah and Neptune go to find Bear at the community house and wait to ask him about the explosion. Jonah bets that Ori would know what's going on because he seems to know everything that happens and shows up when he wants to be mysterious. Bear explains what happened with falling and how Bill just walked through the portal. Neptune and Jonah go through the portal whilst Bear goes to find Guqqie. Jonah and Neptune look around at the lava and look at Bill's home.

Neptune and Jonah head back to the SMP and Jonah and Neptune go back to their homes.

Jonah finds a purple crystal in his farm and is very confused. He goes to the community house and sees another purple crystal. He goes into Bear's house and finds another crystal. Jonah is undecided whether he should tell somebody about these crystals he is seeing. He decides to find Bear and asks about Hell. Bear is a little uncertain about letting Bill into the SMP but hopes it's a good idea. Bear tells Jonah that the reason why he's letting people stay is so Niki wouldn't think he doesn't have friends. Bear asks Jonah if he thinks everything was a good idea but Jonah says he can't make a statement without speaking to Bill. Aimsey finds them and Jonah and Bear encourage her to come through. They look over the steep drop and look around the area. Aimsey asks if either of them trust Bill and they both say he feels a little bit off. Bear tells them that he wants to make good change and is trying to be open to people and let them in. Aimsey trusts Bear so hopes that letting Bill in wasn't a mistake.

They head back home to the SMP and Bear thinks that Aimsey is annoyed because he is being too open to people. Jonah and Bear talk about going for a fishing trip and how they're both glad to be each other's friend.

Jonah and Bear both agree that they should allow loads of people with different backgrounds to join in a community, similar to a puzzle. Everyone is a broken piece who all fit together to make a beautiful picture.

Jonah goes to talk to Bill and in the meantime finds out that Niki will be arriving on the 2nd July. Jonah thinks that there are too many people now and that it's getting pretty crowded fast. He couldn't find Bill so goes back home.

Jonah plans to compile all of his adventures, stories and battles into books and put it in a library.

He decides he has to find Bill so looks around the SMP to find him beside the community house. They introduce themselves to each other and Bill looks round his house. Jonah asks what his house is in hell and Bill explains that he rents it and there was a slight gas problem. Jonah asks how long he was there for and Bill says that it was like the quote *'time flies when you're having fun' so it 'felt like centuries because it was sh\*t'.*

Bill asks Jonah a favour, he wants him to persuade Bear to let Bill borrow his stonecutter.

Bill messes with Bear's door and gets a little afraid when Bear comes to the door.

Jonah asks if Bear can use his stone cutter and Bear stares at him and tells Bill off for throwing bread around. Bear brings the stone cutter to Bill as he doesn't trust him to be in his house. Everyone goes back to their homes and gets on with what they need, Bill and Guqqie introduce themselves to people and set up their own homes.

## **Fishing w/ Bear**

Bear and Jonah head to the Ori Bridge to go fishing. They just chat about various things.

Jonah tells Bear that he plans to open a library in the SMP and share his battle stories. He reads out one called 'Abandonment'*.*

It reads:

***‘It was the final battle. I could free the village from it’s agony they were trapped in. Me and my best friend, both equipped and ready to take on their leader, despite his overwhelming size and power. I started to approach them and looked back to find my friend had abandoned me. They’d dropped their shield and ran away before I could stop them. I was alone, but nothing was stopping me. I took to the heights, travelling from tree to tree to take the enemy down with a single blow. The village was free. Without company for many years to come. But so was I...I’ve never seen my friend since, but I don’t want to. He wasn’t really my friend.’***

They then talk about Bill and how he's a bit of a strange person, and feels off.

Bear talks about his conversation previously with Guqqie.

Bill begins to walk round in the water with his horse, Hades.

Jonah explains how he is glad he stayed and is settling in, but he does admit to missing the adventures. Bear says that Jonah will like Niki, and Bear tells Jonah about how Niki left one day. Bear explains how Niki is a good friend.

Bear grants Jonah with the job of keeping an eye on Bill.

They walk around finding new places to fish and Bear tells Jonah that he is glad he stayed.

Bear and Jonah find Bill walking Guqqie round the SMP with a leash. Bear tells him off and tells him to return everything he has stolen.Bill leaves and Bear tells Jonah that it might be best if Bill goes back to Hell, to protect the SMP and Guqqie.

## **The Fairy and Wanderer**

Bear explains how Guqqie is not human, and he also talks about Bill and how his bad behaviour sent him back to hell for exile until he can get along with the other members of the SMP.

Bear takes them both to the town hall and the guest house. They then travel to Jonah's library. He's been documenting the crystal story to add to the library and encourages the others to also add their own stories. Bear and Jonah help Moonzy find somewhere to build her house. Bear leaves Moonzy and Jonah to talk and build the house. Moonzy's architectural choices are very…questionable…She plans to workshop it later.

## **The Unexpected Arrival**

Bear starts his stream with him in his newly built house. He talks about his plans to renovate the SMP before Niki comes. He says about how he is ready for change and heads to his cave. He gets hit by a phantom and goes into his house to find Niki beside his sofa. She says hello and the screen goes black. It cuts to an animatic made by FruitLegs .

It cuts back to Bear asking Niki why she is here. Bear is confused because she was supposed to be there on Friday, and he was overwhelmed by the fact she is here early. Niki says that she 'can't take it anymore'. She is glad to see Bear again and compliments his house. Bear wonders how she found him again and she just says that she asked around. Niki asks Bear about Lard .Bear introduces Niki and Lard to each other and Niki is extremely confused.

Bear is upset that he wasn't able to set up the SMP for her but she assures him that it's fine. Niki asks if Bear remembers the old times and remembers that she gave him the red cape but he didn’t remember too much until she mentioned it. He spots someone walking around the SMP; it was Ori. Niki asks ***'as in...Ori? Ori is here?'*** and Bear says yes, and then Niki asks to see more of the BearSMP.

Niki comments on how the BearSMP looks better than the place she last stayed. Bear assumes that she means the PerfectSMP or where she's been traveling through in the meantime but Niki doesn't expand.

Bear tells Niki that he had a party planned but didn’t get it set up in time. Bear asks Niki why she left the PerfectSMP and she explains that she thought it was the eight choice to leave and start a new beginning. She explains how she regrets doing that and she is very sorry for leaving. Bear tells Niki that he left because after Niki left, everything went wrong and after that, Bear didn’t expect anything good to happen. Niki tells Bear that she loves BearSMP and asks if he has made any new friends. Bear says yes, and asks the question in return. Niki's response was that she thought she did but she isn't so sure anymore. Bear shows Niki the town hall and Niki asks if it's like the government, to which Bear tells her that he would make it fair. Niki sees the library that Jonah has been building and Bear tells Niki that she can meet everyone soon. Bear asks Niki if she is okay after she left and she explains that she just needed a new start. She tells Bear that the Niki he knew is not her, she has changed. Niki asks Bear if he knows about the DreamSMP. Bear replies with no, and asks what it is. Niki tells him that it was a young nation that she thought would bring her happiness similar to the PerfectSMP but it didn't work out. She apologises for leaving him and Bear tells her that he understands, and that he gets it. He tells her that he could not be mad at her, and that they can still be friends. Niki tells Bear that she missed him, and he quietly says that he missed her too.

Bear offers to let her stay as long as she wants and tells her that he likes the SMP and goes to gather materials for Niki to build a house.

Bear spots Ori on top of a lamppost, looks away for a moment and looks back and Ori has disappeared. He turns again and sees Ori by his cave door. He says ***'yo'*** which Ori responds with '***welcome back. Long time no see.'***

Ori teleports again but they just continue with building. Niki looks for a spot to build her house, and Bear takes Niki up to Jonah's house. He explains how Jonah is a retired knight who now resides in the SMP. He then explains who Neptune is and how he lives in his log and tries to be an explorer. Next, he talks about Bill being a skeleton who has been exiled to hell for scamming. After that, he takes Niki to Aimsey's tree house and describes her as ***'small and annoying.'*** Niki says that she knows someone to the same description, then quickly asks to continue with the tour.

Ori appears and says ***'You notice that too? You notice that small and annoying itch in your back, collecting discs and treasuring them.  All too much for anyone to take away from them. Welcome back, it's been a bit.'***

Bear says hello to Ori and Ori asks how he is. Bear says that the SMP has grown since his last mysterious visit and predicts that more will change after Niki's arrival. Ori tells Niki to check her inventory, and they agree to talk later. Ori teleports away and Bear asks Niki what he gave her. She hands him the gift, which is an allium named **'Welcome back…'**

Bear hands it back and asks Niki if Ori is good, because he weirds Bear out and Niki says yes, Ori is a good person.

Bear continues the tour, and takes Niki to Guqqie's house. He tells her that Guqqie is an alien but likes to pretend she is from Humanville and that she is a human. Bear takes Niki to Moonzy's house and tells her that Moonzy is a fairy. Bear explains how there is a lot of different people from different walks of life in the SMP but he doesn't know why. He shows Niki the guest house in case somebody joins. He asks Niki where she would prefer to live in the SMP. Bear tells Niki that the BearSMP is not meant to be perfect, but it's good. He suggests an area and Niki likes it. Bear asks Niki if she would like to meet Jonah and Bear tells Niki to trust him because Jonah is nice. Jonah says hello and tells Niki that he has heard lots about her. Bear tells Niki that he has spoken about Niki before and mentioned the PerfectSMP. Jonah tells Niki that Ori had talked about her before, and that Bear rarely talks about the PerfectSMP. Bear gets annoyed at Jonah for mentioning that he talks about her alot. Jonah is confused and asks why she is here early, and then asks Niki whether she is planning to stay or just coming through the SMP. Niki tells them both that she doesn't know, and that she is not leaving, just that she has responsibilities in the other SMP so she has to travel between them. She promises Bear to not leave him for as long as she did before, and because she knows the way now, he can expect her to travel between them easier. They say goodbye to Jonah and they continue on building Niki's house.

Niki asks if they have a bakery here in the SMP, because if she is staying, she wants to make money and open up a bakery. Niki tells Bear that all the governments she has encountered have been run on money and power. Bear tells her that Aimsey has started a café and he hadn't thought that far ahead with the government idea. He explains that the SMP's town hall was not supposed to seem like a power thing, it's more a support of rules so people do not mess around because people come into SMP's and mess everything up. Niki assures Bear that she knows people who go to extremes to earn power, and that he wouldn't understand because he hasn’t seen what she saw. It goes silent. Niki apologises for raising her voice and explains that where she was staying, the only way that her voice and opinion was ever heard was if she raised her voice. She says that she knows that before, she was very prim and proper and would only speak when spoken to but the place she has been in recently was different. She promises Bear that she will change for him. Bear tells her that the BearSMP does not work like that, and Niki tells Bear that he is a good person.

Bear begins to clear an area for Niki's house, and he asks about her bakery idea. She explains that in her few months in the DreamSMP, she opened a bakery to help the people there with the food shortage. Bear asks Niki if she remembered his favourite cake and she did. Bear tells Niki that she has to remind him of all the things that happened in the PerfectSMP because after she left, things went wrong and he forced himself to forget everything bad.

Bear tells Niki that he and Neptune were planning on putting up lights and setting up a party. He tells her that the party was to introduce her to everyone but it didn't work out.

Niki jokes around saying that he shouldn't leave her for too long otherwise he will miss her and have to throw a party. Bear goes back home and looks for materials and tries to affirm to himself that it's good that she is back and everythings good and fine. He looks at the sign in his room saying 'friends are okay'. He walks over to the monument and repeats that friends are okay to himself. He knows that this means he can start again and that he won't let what happened to the PerfectSMP happen to the BearSMP. He goes over to Chat the dog and feeds us. He repeats that friends are okay and plans to renovate the town and spend time with friends and that they will have fun. He considers building the town and is unsure what will happen next, but no matter what, everything will be fine and good.
