‘But we weren’t!’ cried Fuzz. ‘Or maybe the others were…’ he added honestly.

‘Ha!’ said the elf. ‘Now into the cell and…’

‘No!’ yelled Fuzz. Once he was locked up he’d never find Pa! Which meant that Pa would be stranded out there in the blizzard with only the polar bears—real polar bears, even if they could speak three languages (or four, including bear)—for company. And only live fish to eat! Not even raw fish sushi!

He might die, thought Fuzz. Or at the very least, get really bad indigestion! And Fuzz himself would never get back to his family, or the zoo, or his friends, or school…

He tried to grab the bars of the cell door as he was pushed inside. But the little elf policeman—or pliceman—was too strong for him.

‘Stop struggling, bear,’ he grunted. ‘You’re just making it harder on yourself.’

‘But I’m not a polar bear!’

‘You are so too!’

‘I’m not!’

‘You are!’

‘I’m…’

‘Uncle Dimwit! What on earth is going on?’

The elf stopped trying to push Fuzz into the cell and looked around. Fuzz looked around too. And then, he stared.

It was the girl from the ship!

She was even more gorgeous than he remembered! The same deep green eyes. The same long legs. The same wild blonde hair. The same pointed ears under her green cap…

Pointed ears?

Fuzz felt his mouth drop open. ‘You’re an elf!’

‘Of course I’m an elf,’ said the girl coolly. It was the first time Fuzz had heard her voice, and it was just as beautiful as he’d expected. ‘It’s a statistical probability,’ added the girl, ‘that any person with pointed ears and green eyes has to be an elf.’

‘But…you’re as tall as me!’

‘The girl—or elf—blushed. I can’t help it if I grew! Now, Uncle Dimwit, what are you doing?’

‘Just putting this bear in jail where he belongs, Legsie darling,’ said the elf.

‘Uncle Dimwit? Legsie?’ said Fuzz. ‘And, once more, I’m not a bear, I’m a boy!’

‘You’re a bear!’ yelled the elf.

Legsie sighed. ‘But, Uncle, he isn’t a polar bear.’

‘What?’ Uncle Dimwit blinked at Legsie, then at Fuzz, then back at Legsie. ‘But he looks like a polar bear.’

Legsie put on a special ‘I’m being patient talking to my uncle’ look. ‘Uncle, look at the ratio of nose to jaw. And the shape of his knees. It’s scientifically impossible that this is a polar bear.’

‘What is he then?’ demanded Uncle Dimwit.

‘My hero, of course,’ said Legsie.
