think I knew about him, did you? Dad came here to follow up on some Ojibwe legends about shape shifters: werebears to be exact. Gabe and I got to be really close friends… if you know what I mean.” Candy winked at me. “Oh yeah, I know who you are, Kelly. You’re Gabe’s summer fling. But you can’t have him. Nobody can. See, he brushed me off after high school. I gave him everything… including my virginity.”
    “Candy! Get ahold of yourself!”
    “Shut up, Dad!”
    “I had no idea he was a werebear until I saw him change, with you, this summer. Then I knew why he pushed me away. It wasn’t because he didn’t love me, it was because he could only stay in a permanent relationship with another werebear. Today was my lucky day. When I saw him shift in the town square, I realized a golden opportunity had been handed to me. I made it sound like Gabe had been eaten by bears so I could knock his ass out and bring him here. Now, my Dad is going to find out what makes him a werebear. Once he figures it out, I’ll become one. Then Gabe and I can live together forever. He’s all mine.”
    “Candy, do you realize how crazy this sounds? You sound just like your mother.”
    “What? What! What did you just say?” As any fool knows, you never tell a woman on a rant that she sounds crazy. And you most certainly never, ever, double down on asking for death by saying she sounds just like her crazy mother—who happens to be a witch with a track record of sadistic eternal cursing.
    “Candy, just listen to me, sweetie. I had no idea Gabe was a werebear until you told me this earlier today. To be honest, we don’t even know for sure if it is Gabe until it changes, if it changes.
    “Err..owwl!” Candy stomped her foot and actually jumped up and down in a childish tantrum. “Mom won’t let me be a witch and you won’t let me be a werebear. This is bullshit! Of course this is Gabe. How can you be so stupid? His slut, the witch, wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t. You are going to take his blood and you are going to give me a transfusion until I AM A FUCKING WEREBEAR! Got it? And you witches… I am going to fix you. Dad, give me that wand.”
    “No. Candy, I can’t let you do this.”
    “Then I’ll just take it.” When Candy bent down to grab the wand, Morgan shoved her from behind. The dart gun hit the cement floor as Candy fell. Professor Bologna quickly snagged the wand before his uncontrollable daughter could get her hands on it.
    “Just don’t hurt her, please.” He handed me the wand as Candy rose back up. I aimed the wand at her.
    “Candy, don’t try anything. You have no right to kidnap Gabe like this. Whatever you had with Gabe is in the past. It sounds like he broke up with you, and I’m sorry, but that’s life. You can’t just tranquilize people, put them in a cage, and make them love you.”
    Candy growled, her eyes scanned the room, looking for the tranquilizer gun. The whole time Candy had been talking, Gabe had apparently shook off the effects of the drug and started to shift. By the time I got a look at him, he was back in human form. It must have been one hell of a shock to get knocked out and wake up in a cage, with no clue as to what had happened.
    Morgan crawled under the wire fence and lifted the latch in the cage door. Gabe was stark naked and quite confused when he walked out. “What? Where are the bears?” He shielded his eyes from the floodlight and squinted. “What’s going on? Candy? Oh shit! What are you doing here?” Gabe did his best to cover himself with his hands as he jogged over to me. “Kelly, only you and the witches know I’m a werebear! Now two more people do.” He added in a whisper, “You’ve probably already figured this out about Candy, but… ”
    “The wheel is spinning but the hamster’s asleep? A few fries short of a Happy Meal? Yeah, I got that. After listening to her talk about it, you loved her but couldn’t divulge your werebear secret, so you broke
