Grizz and Panda were walking down the beach at a brisk pace. They didn't notice any differences at first. Ice Bear was not with them, electing to stay at home, fixing his fridge. They had decided to take a beachwalk.
Then, it happened, almost seamlessly.
Grizz was as energetic as ever, while Panda kept checking his phone, shying away from conversation. That much had not changed.
"Oh man! Sad that bro couldn't come with us, this is so invigorating!" Grizz said, happily. "So, wanna hit the shops after this?" He asked Panda.
"Uh... maybe..." Panda took out his phone to check his messages again. He noticed something was different about it. "Huh, a new software update for my phone came out."
"Huh. That's weird." Grizz said. "Oh! Look!"
"what?" Panda asked.
"There's talking animals over there at that food stand." Grizz pointed out. "We got so many cool people to talk to!"
Panda blushed. "Uh, I dunno..." He was preoccupied with his phone. "This phone isn't working quite right all of a sudden. That update broke my phone! I can't access Twitter or Everyone's Tube or anything... it's all different now."
Grizz decided to play it cool. "Don't worry, I'm sure bro back at home can fix it."
Grizz then noticed something. This was not a beach he was familiar with. The bay bridges were not in the area... in fact this beach wasn't the beach they had walked on.
"Uh... Panda... I think we're lost." Grizz said. "Don't worry! I'll ask for directions!"
Panda shrugged "not like I can figure out how to look up on maps or anything!":
Grizz and Panda ran up to a white fox in a bikini. "Excuse me ma'am, we're lost... this is the beach, right?"
The fox replied. "Oh yes! The beach of Costa Del Sol. Beautiful isn't it?"
Grizz blinked. "Costa Del Sol. That's no beach I've heard of around San Francisco."
"San Francisco? You guys aren't from around here then."
Grizz blinked again. "no no ma'am, we live here in San Francisco, California, These United States of America."
The fox giggled. "Oh no, this is Costa Del Sol, The Vastly Deep, Omniverse, silly."
It took Grizz a moment. And then Panda confirmed his worse fears.
"Grizz! I figured out how to use this phone... but it doesn't seem to recognize my Twitter handle on this... OmniTwitter. I need to create a new account! But I can't call anyone, it deleted all my contacts!"
"Ma'am, this... might sound strange, but I think we're not supposed to be here! Can you help us... we need to find our brother. He's tall... white... like you but a bear. He also talks in the third person."
The fox giggled again. "I wish I knew someone like that, sounds like a cool dude."
Grizz took pause at the pun. "Heh, cool."
Panda was done registering for OmniTwitter. "I'm gonna see if I can find out something here on this 'OmniTwitter'. Maybe someone else can shed light on what's going on."
Grizz then decided to explain a bit further. "Ma'am, there's alot more talking animals here than where we come from... maybe one of them knows something?"
The ice fox smiled. "What do you wanna know? I'm not that silly, silly."
Grizz blushed. "Well, we have no idea how we got here. We just... walked and we suddenly appeared here in this foreign beach. We don't even have passports!"
"... you guys really aren't from around here." She then folded her arms. "You said you were walking and then you appeared here... that's weird."
Grizz decided to shout in desparation. "Ice Bear! Charlie. Chloe? ANYONE OUT THERE?"
Panda decided on a hunch to use OmniTwitter to mention Ice Bear. Perhaps if Ice Bear was around on there for any reason he'd see it. It was worth a shot.
Grizz started getting confused. This was one beachwalk that got real confusing, real quick.
