Cheeseburger (Far cry 5) and Cody (Rescuers down under)

(This story takes place in a alternate story for far cry 5 where the nuclear apocalypse never took place but all the cultists are gone).

Cody found himself at home in the wilderness. Although it wasn’t Australia it was still nice to be in the wild. The trees were much bigger than back home and Cody decided to climb one.

When he reached the top he saw a sign in the distance.

”Hope county. Hrm, I wonder if it’s really small since it wasn’t on the map” Cody said.

He wanted to check it out so he started climbing down.

Cheeseburger was enjoying his afternoon nap. Since the bad people had been defeated or killed, he had more time to just relax. It also helped that the deputy was doing the same.

As the massive bear shifted to make himself more comfortable an interesting and very good scent entered his huge black wet nose.

Cheeseburger flinched at this scent. It belonged to a young boy, who was several miles away but coming closer. The great bear didn’t recognize the scent but he would track down this boy, just in case the boy needed help.

Without delay Cheeseburger began wildly sniffing, taking in as much of the boy’s scent as his nostrils could and his nose making loud snuffling sounds as he does.

Cody had a feeling he was getting closer to this “Hope county” place. He’d been walking for about fifteen minutes.

As he was walking he stopped when he heard what sounded like loud snuffling. While he was curious he didn’t know what it was. Cody ran to the nearest tree and climbed up to try and see what the sound was.

When he got high enough he saw the sound’s source. It was a huge bear, a grizzly to be precise, although due to its size it looked like a Kodiak bear.

Cody was fascinated, as he had never seen a bear in person in the wild. He was sure he could see a collar on the bears neck.

He started getting nervous when the bear started coming in a more direct approach towards him.

(Sniff Sniff Sniff SSSNNIIFF SSSSNNNNNIIIIFFFFF)

Wow this boy’s scent was incredible. It was like candy to the bears nose and he couldn’t get enough of it. Cheeseburger knew the boy was close as the scent was getting much stronger a lot faster.

He sniffed his way over to a large tree then around the tree and, standing on his hind legs, upwards. As if to smell something in the tree since he couldn’t climb.

(Sniff Sniff SSSNNNIIIFFF)

the boy was in this tree.

Cody tried to climb around to the other side of the tree, but since he was watching the bear at the tree’s base, he misjudged how far the branch he reached for was.

Cody fell but being an experienced climber he grabbed at the branches to either catch himself or slow his dissent.

Landing on the ground, Cody was unharmed but in a daze. He shook himself to try and regain his senses. While it had worked he then felt something big and moist press against the back of his head and start sniffing.

He turned around to see the bear standing right in front of him with it’s nostrils flaring wildly as it kept sniffing him.

He backed up on all fours but the bear just kept sniffing and followed him. Eventually Cody backed up against a large rock. He couldn’t go any farther.

Cheeseburger saw that the boy had his back pressed against the rock but also detected the boy was afraid. Cheeseburger had to show he meant no harm. When he got close enough he pressed his nose against the boy’s face and began vigorously sniffing. Both as a sign of friendliness and just to intake the boy’s wonderful scent.

Cody could only see the frantically flaring nostrils of the bear’s huge black wet nose as it sniffed him over. It did start to tickle but then the bear stopped after a few moments.

The bear then began repeatedly licking his face. It’s big tongue covering it up completely. All Cody could see were the taste buds of the tongue each time it was dragged over his face.

He couldn’t help it anymore and started laughing.

”HAHAHAHAHAHAHA that tickles. Stahahahahahp hahahahaha.”

But this just seemed to spur the bear to keep licking him. Maybe this bear wasn’t going to hurt him.

After what seemed like forever the bear stopped licking Cody and sat down in front of him. Cody wiped off his face and was able to clearly see the tags on the bear’s neck.

It only had a small picture of a cheeseburger on it.

”A cheeseburger” Cody said, confused. The mention of his name got the bear’s attention. Cody noticed this and stood up.

“Your name is Cheeseburger. Well that’s unique. Say how did you know I was here” Cody asked as he reached out to scratch behind the bear’s ears.

Cheeseburger responded by snuffling Cody’s face with his big nose.

”Hey it tickles haha. So you smelled me”Cody said. Cheeseburger answered with a big wet face-lick. “Hahahaha I’ll take that as a yes”.

”Say you want to play hide and seek. I’ve never played it with a bear before. I’ll go hide and you can find me”.

Cody then left to go hide. Eventually finding a good spot in some thick bushes he waited for his new friend. He’d read somewhere that a bear’s sense of smell was ten to fifteen times better than a bloodhounds so he had a feeling he would be found.

Cheeseburger put his nose to the ground tracking every step Cody made and loved every whiff of the scent he was taking in.

The huge bear sniffed his way over to the bushes where he could smell Cody the strongest.

Cody could see Cheeseburger coming and when the bear was close enough to see him the bear stood up on his hind legs still sniffing the air. Cody quietly pressed against the bush so as not to be seen.

When Cheeseburger came back down on all fours Cody peered through the bush.Cheeseburger was just on the other side.

From the angle Cody could only see the bear’s snout and the large sniffing nose at the end of it. The bear then dove his nose toward Cody until it pressed against his face. After a few sniffs the bear’s big sloppy tongue slapped over Cody’s face.

Cody came out of the bush and faced his bear friend.

“Good job, I had a feeling you would find me with that great sniffer of yours” Cody said.

Cheeseburger huffed in agreement at his powerful nose before playfully snuffling Cody again.

He then pushed Cody over and decided to lather the boy with affection.

”No n- hahahaha sto- hahaha tha- hahaha -ickles HAHAHAHA” Cody roared in laughter at the bear’s slobbery licks while being cut off from the sloppy tongue.

Cheeseburger started taking his time dragging his tongue over the boy’s face, letting it rub against it.

Once again Cody could only see the taste buds of the bear’s tongue that was repeatedly mopping over his face and that was the sight he saw the rest of the day.

(the end).
