Dimple's+Story

There was a rustle outside that awoke Dimple with a startle. She gingerly unzipped the door to the tent to find that an adorable little polar bear cub was rummaging through her things. It's soft fur, whiter than the glowing moon. She smiled at it, and it seemed to smile back. She cautiously walked closer extending her hand trying to show it she wasn't trying to hurt it. It slowly walked toward her as if deciding whether or not it should trust her. Dimple assumed it trusted her, because it gave her a handshake with its paw. Its fur was quite unique; it had a greenish tint to it. The green tint as if boasting its uniqueness. "Did you lose your home?" she asked. The cub whimpered. "I'll take that as a yes." Dimple replied. "But, don't worry. I'll help you get back to your family." They both set off to find the cub's home. "I should call you Minty," Dimple decided. "That green tint is very unique." It took a long time to get to Minty's home, so Dimple began to notice a lot of things around her. One of those things being, the beautiful sparkle that she seemed to never get tired of. She could taste how cold the air was by taking a breath. When they traveled in the night, she could hear quiet sounds that gave her goose bumps. Also there were many things that weren't so pleasing. When they passed by other polar bears eating fish, the smell of dead fish was so repulsive that she had to sprint past to get away from the smell. When they slept Minty would cuddle up by Dimple, as the glowing moon shone its light on Minty's fur. Minty and Dimple were walking across rather soft snow one morning, when all of a sudden the ground had disappeared from under their feet. They were tumbling and rolling down a steep hill. The crashing and screaming as they slid down the hill would make passersby gasp with fear. They reached the bottom to find that they had survived this incident unscathed. But they did find themselves between at least 50 other polar bears. The smell of the fish made Dimple's nose crinkle in disgust. Minty quickly got up and ran over to an adult polar bear. "So, I guess this is your home." Dimple stated. Minty smiled back; a bigger smile than they first time they'd met.
