The two are nearly always together and after a few years, a film crew comes to Roxanne's small village and make a music video for the famous singer Nikki. But, Nikki wants a dancing bear and Bruno*the bear* won't dance unless Roxanne sings to him, and Roxanne ends up singing and the video is made. After that Nikki persuades Roxanne to travel all over the world and make herself a singing career with him. She ends up agreeing and leaving Bruno with her school teacher to look after him. But she promised Bruno she would come back and visit very often. Turns out after she leaves Bruno doesn't move at all, not even when the school teacher goes into his cage to feed him, so basically the teacher finds out Bruno is dead and Roxanne didn't keep her promise. THE END :)(less)
