Holly and Jessica glared at Napoleon as he continued to tread water in the icy river, dangling their bikini tops in his left hand. Their nipples stood out erect and firm like an Air Guard soldier at attention in front of a commanding officer.
"Give those back!" Holly cried. "It's fucking freezing out here!"
"Well, it was YOUR bright idea to go boating today," said Napoleon as he reluctantly handed them their breast coverings. "How about giving me a hand back into the boat now?" Jessica silently reached down and extended her hand to Napoleon's, pulling him into the bow of the vessel. "Thanks for scaring off that bear," she muttered.
"What bear?"
Jess blinked twice and opened her eyes wide. "You mean, you didn't see it?!"
"Um, no," Napoleon said.
"It was pretty crazy," Holly chimed in. "One minute you were back there on the water skis and the next minute, I don't know where YOU went, but this big bear in overalls was on the skis pulling itself toward our boat. If I hadn't cut the motor and made it sink underwater, God knows what would have happened. "
"Sounds crazy to me, but whatever you say, ladies," Napoleon smirked. "Glad you're both okay. Now then, since we've established that the water skis work quite well, are you both up for some real adventure?" Holly and Jess looked at each other, then at Napoleon, and nodded. "Okay, good. You two get some clothes on while I drive this boat upstream." Napoleon started the motor and began to expertly manuever the boat out of the no wake area of the marina.
"Where are we going, Napoleon?" Holly asked as she pulled her waterlogged jeans on over her curvy hips.
"To the island at the end of Ratcliff Bluff," he shouted as the boat raced along the river.
"But it's already 4:25 PM!" Jess hollered. "We have to be home for dinner by six!"
"Don't worry about it," Napoleon replied. "What we have to do won't take long." Suddenly, a phantasmagoric dream that Jessica had experienced a few nights ago came flooding back into her memory. "Dammit, no! Please tell me you're not taking us to Trewyn Island!" He smiled at her in reply. "God, NO!" she wept. "That place is supposed to be haunted, or cursed, and all sorts of weird stuff happens there."
"Weird stuff happens on Ratcliff Bluff, too," he said. "Trust me, it'll be okay. I just thought that we should check it out for ourselves and see what truly happens there. But, if you'd rather stay behind with the so-called bear..."
"No!" Holly and Jess both screamed and grabbed each other in fear. "We'll go," Holly said. "Just get us back by nightfall."
"Like I said, don't worry about it," Napoleon answered. "From what I've heard, time stands still on Trewyn Island, so we should have all the time that we need." He was no longer shouting as he cut the motor off and let the strong undercurrent carry the boat for the remaining half mile into the island inlet.
"Jeezums," he whispered as the boat came to a stop on a sediment bank. Looking upward to match his gaze, Holly and Jessica immediately fixated their eyes on the old, dilapidated mansion in the middle of the island. A murmur whistled through the trees as three dragons emerged from behind the mansion and silently flew overhead in alpha formation towards the teenagers. In the distance, near the spire of the house, a large key with three hovered in midair, its shaft radiating brighter than the late afternoon sun through the dense fog that was rapidly encircling Trewyn Island.

Now you need to incorporate Pooh, Snuggles, and the Care Bears.

The weirdest thing about it is that all of the core elements, and most of the details, are what I've actually had in my dreams. I've NEVER had a dream series before now, and it's kind of cool. The hardest part is remembering everything the morning after.

This just keeps getting weirder, and I like it.
