This is a Winnie the Pooh FanFiction, but in case you haven't figured it out from the title, it's about Tigger, mostly. I do not own Winnie the Pooh at all, that's a Disney thing. I make no profit from this, this is just an experiment. When reading, keep in mind I am basing it mostly on the series: The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. We'll see how it goes.
Chapter 1: More Than One Tigger
Deep in Epping Forest, there was a great commotion going on. There was a storm on the way and some of the animals of the area decided they would move away. There was a rabbit, an owl, a gopher, a piglet, a donkey, a bear, and a creature that looked an awful lot like a tigger.
"She only looked like a tigger because she was a tigger, narrator, get it right!" exclaimed the tigger-like creature in a huff.
It's not my fault, I am only here to tell the story. What are you doing moving away, exactly? Isn't this your home?
"Of course it is our home, but it's not home. There's too much going on around here and I have decided, for the betterment of my friends, that I will remedy this situation," the creature said. "I would also appreciate it if from now on, you didn't narrate by calling me a creature."
Well, what shall I call you then?
"You can call me by my name, Tigretta. That's T-I-double Guh-ur-et-ah, that spells Tigretta. By the way, narrator, would you happen to know any place where it's nice and safe?"
Well, there is a place in Sussex over in Ashdown Forest called the Hundred Acre Wood.
"Hmm, that's not far off, thanks, narrator. Perhaps you are useful after all."
So, Tigretta and her multiple animal friends made their way through the storm and terrain to the Hundred Acre Wood. They arrived there in the dark of night and set up camp under a large tree.
So, Tigretta, what now?
"Well, we're going to set up camp here for the night, but in the morning we'll be looking for a more permanent place to stay as well as some food... you're not going to be narrating this whole time are you?" asked Tigretta suspiciously.
I'll only come in and out when needed, to draw attention to things.
Tigretta sighed, "Very well." After that, she yawned and joined her friends in sleep.
Morning found Tigretta and her friends breaking camp and taking a walk, enjoying the countryside. "This is a nice place, Tigretta, m-m-maybe we can stay here?" asked the piglet, timidly.
"Perhaps, we should get a better idea on who our neighbors are first though. You never come to a forest devoid of life," Tigretta replied.
"Unless you go to the forest we just left... but then again, we are life, so maybe no forest can truly be devoid of life?" asked the bear.
"That's right, Winnie. So, we must be on our guard, there could be danger lurking behind every leaf and every boulder," said Tigretta dramatically. She stopped in her tracks and put up a hand to indicate to her friends to stop. "I smell another creature nearby, walk with light feet, girls, this could get tense." They all tip-toed toward the smell of the animal. They turned a corner and noticed a yellow rabbit working in a garden, humming away without the least care in the world.
"P-p-perhaps we should... go over and say 'hello'?" asked the piglet.
"Peony, would you mind looking at me for a second and tell me whether or not I look like I was born yesterday?" asked Tigretta tensely.
"Um... no, but, well, this is a different place and I thought..." said the piglet, Peony, as she moved the dirt on the ground with her feet.
"The rabbit wasn't the animal I smelled. If it was, I would have said, 'I smell a rabbit nearby,' but I didn't, did I? I said, 'I smell another creature nearby.' When I say creature, you know I can only be referring to one thing."
Peony gasped. "D-d-danger?"
Peony's question was answered with a noise from the garden. An orange creature with black stripes bounced onto the rabbit in the garden, earning a lot of angry remarks from the pounced fluff-tail. "Hmm... Peony, I have an assignment for you," said Tigretta.
"Oh, d-d-dear," said Peony. Tigretta picked up Peony and threw her into the garden, right in the path of the rabbit and tigger, who were both upright now. The rabbit was yelling at the tigger, things having to do with 'Stay out,' 'Don't bounce me!' and the like. Little Peony was shaking to the bone and could only cower and shake in fear.
"Hey, what's this? It looks like Pigalet," said the tigger, picking up Peony.
"Hmm, speech impediment," said Tigretta to her friends in their hiding place.
"T-t-t... T-t-t..." said Peony, shaking in the tigger's hand.
"What's that, Piglet? We can't understand you," said the rabbit.
"T-t-t... T-t-t-t-TIGRETTA! HELP!" shouted Peony as loud as possible. Quick as a flash, Tigretta pounced from her hiding place and took Peony in her mouth. She glared at the tigger and growled lowly.
"Hey! Who are you and what are you doing to Pigalet?" asked the tigger. Tigretta stood her ground on all four of her limbs, moving about like a cat, never taking her eyes off of the tigger. After a moment, Tigretta noticed nothing was being done, so she put down Peony and nudged her in the direction of the bushes, where the rest of her friends were hiding.
"Why didn't you attack me?" asked Tigretta.
"I don't know, it looked almost as if you were protecting him," said the tigger.
"Him? You have her confused with someone else, that was Peony, a girl." Tigretta looked at the tigger up and down suspiciously. "And who might you be?"
"I'm Tigger, that's T-I-double guh-ur, that spells Tigger!" said the tigger enthusiastically, but his enthusiasm was wiped away almost instantly by the glare of mistrust coming from Tigretta.
Tigretta put out a hand and said, "I'm Tigretta, that's T-I-double guh-ur-et-ah, that spells Tigretta. I am a tigger as well, but you probably already guessed that."
"Another Tigger?" asked the rabbit. He made a few noises before fainting.
"What's going on? I thought I heard someone call for h-h-help," said a piglet running up. There was also a bear, an owl, a donkey, and a gopher trailing behind the piglet.
"Well, isn't this a mirrored opposite," said Tigretta quietly.
"Whoa! Wh-wh-what is that?" asked the piglet, pointing at Tigretta.
"By my calculations..." said the owl, looking over both Tigretta and Tigger. "We have found another Tigger."
"Okay, would you mind giving me some space, feather boy? Just how many animals are in this forest?" asked Tigretta.
"Well, there's us... and that's pretty much all I can think of," said the bear, tapping his head in thought.
"Oh..." Tigretta put her face in one hand, exasperated.
"Yeah, and she didn't come alone either," said Tigger.
Tigretta sighed. There seemed to her to be no other alternative. "Come out, girls, I don't think we have much to hide from here." Out of the bushes came Tigretta's friends, and soon, introductions were underway. "I'm Tigretta, that's T-I-double guh-ur-et-ah, that spells Tigretta; and this is Winnie the Pooh bear, but we just call her Winnie for short; this is Peony, she's a piglet; this is Rhoda, she's a rabbit; this is Elinor, she's a donkey; this is Olive, she's an owl; and this is Gina, she's a gopher."
"Well, I'm Tigger, that's T-I-double guh-ur, that spells Tigger; that's Winnie the Pooh, who we call Pooh; that's Piglet; that's Rabbit; that's Eeyore; that's Owl; and that's Gopher," Tigger introduced himself and his friends.
"Over half of them are named for what they are," Tigretta whispered to her friends, to which they giggled.
"So, where did you all come from?" asked Rabbit, who had since recovered from his faint and was up and moving again.
"We came from Epping Forest, over in Essex. We were told this would be a good place to stay, but I can see we'll have to keep looking," said Tigretta.
"Oh, please, stay. I'm sorry about the misunderstanding earlier, just please, don't go," said Tigger, sounding insistent.
"All right, but this isn't going to be permanent, I'm sure. We'll stay for now, but if I even get an inkling that my friends and I are not safe here in this environment, around your friends, around you, we're gone. Is that clear?" asked Tigretta.
"Oh, yeah, sure, that's clear," Tigger said, gulping.
"Very well then, we'll be around," said Tigretta. She and her friends walked away, leaving Tigger and his friends to wonder how safe they were around these new animals.
All right, here it is! It will get more interesting from here, don't worry. So, what did you think of the characters (The OCs)? Also, please keep reading and reviewing :)
