Pooh and Piglet went outside and found Jim sitting by himself on the roof.
"Jim Hawkins?" Pooh asked.
"Who wants to know?" Jim replied.
"Winnie the Pooh." Pooh said, introducing himself.
"And Piglet too." added Piglet.
"We saw and heard everything inside the restaurant." said Pooh. "And we couldn't help but notice that-"
"Why would you even care?" interrupted Jim. "I don't even know you."
"That may be true." replied Pooh. "But we understand how you feel. Christopher Robin says that is how I make friends."
Jim looked at Pooh and Piglet for a moment and smiled a little bit. "Your friend seems to be a very wise kid."
Pooh and Piglet smiled back at Jim.
"I really don't know how you manage it, Sarah." said a voice from inside the Benbow Inn. It was Dr. Delbert Doppler, a close friend of the Hawkins family. He was talking to Sarah about Jim. "Trying to run a business while raising a felon like..."
"Felon?" repeated Rabbit. He, Tigger and Eeyore seem to be listening to the conversation.
"Uh, I mean, fellow like Jim." Doppler said, correcting himself.
"Managing it? I'm at the end of my rope." Sarah said.
Jim, Pooh and Piglet listened quietly as Sarah went on. "Ever since his father left, Jim's just never recovered. And you know how smart he is. He built his first solar-surfer when he was eight! And yet he's failing in school. He is constantly in trouble and when I talk to him, he's like a stranger to me. I don't know, Delbert. I've tried everything."
The more he listened to his mother, the more Jim felt miserable.
Pooh and Piglet felt sorry for him, but before they could get a chance to talk to him, they saw an space cruiser crash into the docks.
"Get inside and wait here." Jim said to Pooh and Piglet as he ran towards the crash site.
"Hey, mister!" Jim called out, banging on the cruiser's hatch "Mister, you're OK in there, right?"
A clawed hand pressed through the hatch, which flew open, revealing a turtle-like alien.
"He's a-coming." he said, grabbing Jim by his shirt. "Can ya hear 'I'm? Those gears and gyros clicking' and wherein' like the devil himself!"
"Hit your head there pretty hard, didn't ya?" Jim asked.
"He's after me chest." The alien said as he went back to the cruiser to collect his booty. "That fiendish cyborg and his band of cutthroats!"
He lifted the chest onto his back before returning to Jim. "But they'll have to pry it from ol' Billy Bones's cold, dead fingers afore I-"
But before he could finish, Billy Bones collapsed on the ground and began to cough like crazy.
Jim knew he couldn't leave Billy alone to die. He had to take himself the Benbow Inn.
Supporting Billy with one arm while carrying the chest with the other, Jim staggered towards the inn.
"Mom's gonna kill me for this." he said to himself.
