In a faraway land standing over a town was a white castle that reached into the sky. Inside the castle it was quite colorful, the halls were long and seemingly endless and the walls rose up to the sky until they reached the ceiling… or at least it appeared so large when you are such a small animal. Piglet walked through the endless halls and sky high ceilings as armored knights with weapons stood at attention as he walked.
"Oh d-d-d-d-dear" he stuttered silently as he walked through the hallways and regarded the still guards. But as eyes followed him as he walked he became more nervous. In fact Piglet was so busy watching the guards that he didn't see what was before him and bumped into something large. Shrieking he quickly doubled back and took refuge behind a large column. He panted heavily as he hid himself but the sound of laughter caused him to carefully peak his head out from behind the column.
He saw the prince of the castle looking over to him with a laugh. Piglet then came out from behind the column "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't see you there" he apologized shakily.
"Oh it's alright Piglet" replied the prince "I should've watched where I was going" he knelt down as Piglet approached him "Say you came in with Pooh and the others? What happened?"
"Well you see I.. I..uh" Piglet stuttered "I tried to stay with Pooh bear but then they got too far ahead of me and I'm such a small animal, it's.. it's so easy to get lost in such a big place"
"Well why don't we go find them" the prince proposed
"Oh do you mean it?" Piglet asked
"Of course" the prince said "Now come on let's-" the prince was suddenly cut off as he felt something push him from behind. He turned around and Piglet looked over him to see Tigger lying on his back.
"Oh shucks" he said picking himself up to see the look of the prince and Piglet "Hey Piglet oh pal!" he cheered to him before turning to the prince "Hey princey. Didn't bounce you too hard did I?" he asked. In truth it was Tigger who landed on his back since the prince was a lot bigger than him his bouncing didn't have the same effect it did on others, but he couldn't let anyone else know that.
"No I'm fine Tigger" the prince responded with a laugh.
"Say whatt're you guys up to?" Tigger asked
"We were on our way to find Pooh bear. Have you seen him?" Piglet asked
"Me? Nah" Tigger waved his arms "I've been too busy bouncing around this big castle" he said excitedly as he hopped on his tail leading to a "boing, boing" sound.
"Oh Tigger! Tigger!" a voice echoed down the hallways.
"Oh boy here he comes" Tigger said gleefully "You blokes didn't see me though" he said as he hopped behind a column.
Turning a corner and coming at the Prince and Piglet was the Grand Duke who clumsily approached the two of them.
"Oh you're excellency! You're grace!" he clambered "I beg your pardon" he bowed "But have you perhaps-" Tigger suddenly bounced into his arms.
"Hello I'm Tigger! T-I-double guh-ER. That spells Tigger"
"I know, you've bounced me" the Grand Duke said exhausted "OH but please Tigger you must-"
"OH I bounced ya before! Then you know how much fun it is! Come on Dukesy try it!" Tigger insisted as he bounced out of the Dukes arms, onto and then off his head and landed on the ground. He then grabbed the Duke by his leggings and bouncing around in circles around him so fast that the Duke lost his footing and fell over just as Tigger bounced out of the way.
"Geez, some people aren't meant to bounce" he said to the Prince and Piglet. Reapplying his monocle to his eye the duke got up and looked at Tigger. "You ready for another one?! Come one buddy boy, let's bounce!" Tigger said as he bounced down the hallway and the Duke followed.
The Prince laughed as he watched them go before turning to Pigelt "Come on let's go find them" he said picking Piglet up.
Tigger hopped down the hallway as the grand duke clumsily chased after him. As he ran after him he passed a room.
"What?! What's wrong with that one?!" shouted the King's voice from the room. Inside the King discussed plans for a royal ball where everyone in the world would be invited. He decided of course to get some extra opinions on the matter but the person he was asking couldn't give him a straight up or even positive answer.
"Alright!" the King exclaimed with his finger pointed in the air "What about this?" he pointed to a drawing "In the ballroom we'll put the stage here. The opening entertainment will be the Alley cats, followed by a comedy act by Genie. What do you think? People love music, dancing and laughs. Should it be like that? The other way around, or neither?" he asked looking long fully for an answer from his critique.
"It may work that way. Maybe, maybe not" Eeyore said glumly.
"Ah but it can't be a maybe, I've got to please everyone!" the King proclaimed "Royalty and people from all over the world. Princesses and Princess, some from under water, aliens from outer space, talking animals. I've got to please everyone!" he pounded his fist on the table. "There's such a weight on my shoulders!" he groaned as he felt weighed down.
"It's hard to please everyone but you can surly try" Eeyore said.
"Yes, yes" the King waved his hands "But there's so much to do!" he pounded his fist on the table.
Then suddenly the doors busted open and Tigger sprang in as the Grand Duke chased him.
"Hoo hoo hahoo!" Tigger laughed as he bounced up and down the room. He then hopped up onto the table and the King dived over his drawing to protect it. Tigger just jumped on top of the Kind's head The Grand Duke jumped up to catch him. Tigger just casually jumped off the King's head and onto the floor just as the Grand Duke jumped and because Tigger wasn't there he landed on the King and the two of them caused the table to fall over and the table with it.
"Say, come on Dukesy!" Tigger hollered "You gotta put more spring into it, otherwise you'll never be good at bouncing"
The Duke and the King then picked themselves up and slouched over the table to look at Tigger.
"Well .N Ta ta for now!" Tigger said as he bounced up and over the two of them and out of the room.
"Oh my gracious" the Grand Duke said. "OH I am dreadfully sorry you're majesty!" he apologized to the King whose face had now turned purple. Looking down the duke could see that King's drawing of the ball he planned to host was torn. "Oh your majesty, please I beg you" the Duke pleaded as the King continued to huff and puff "It was an accident" the King's breathes grew deeper "Please!" the Grand Duke grabbed his throat.
The King then opened his mouth to unleash his fury onto the Duke but when he did the voice that spoke was not his
"I think that might work" Eeyore said.
"Huh?" they both let out turning to him, the King had calmed down now.
Eeyore looked at the torn drawing the King had "Well you see-" he stopped mid-sentence.
"Yes yes do on" the King urged.
Eeyore however put his head down and looked in-between his legs and he saw no tail dangling "Gone again..wait, there it is" he said glumly as he noticed it on the floor.
"Oh here here, let me help you" the King said as he got up and hammered the tail back in with a leg piece from the table. "All better?"
Eeyore swished his tail around and it stayed in place "It's not much of a tail but I'm sort of attached to it" he said.
"Wonderful" the King clapped "Now as you were saying, about the party" he pointed to the drawing.
"Oh yeah, well" Eeyore said looking at the drawing.
"Ahem" the King let out looking at the grand duke who held it up for them to look at.
"Go on" the King said as he sat on the floor next to Eeyore looking at the tattered drawing.
"Well right here as it says, you'll have the stage" Eeyore pointed with his nose on a tear "And hear you'll have the tables to sit and eat" he said nuzzling another rip "and everywhere else is the dance floor" he said sitting down.
The King looked over the demolished piece of paper "Uh… perhaps I shall you draw it up" he insisted.
Tigger continued to bounce through the castle and as he did so blissfully he passed the Prince and Piglet again who stood in front of a closed door.
"Are you sure this is it?" Piglet asked him nervously
"Well where else would they be? We'll never know if we don't look" he said opening the door "After you" he said letting the much smaller Piglet in.
Entering the room Piglet saw a shirtless Pooh standing beside a desk where Cinderella sat sewing a red shirt.
"There we go" she said as she finished on the last thread "Good as new, but let's see if it fits" she said turning to Pooh and offering the shirt to him which he put on "Well how does it fell?"
"I don't know" Pooh responded "I guess I shall find out by doing my stoutness exercises" he said as he bent over to touch his toes. There was no rip, tear or strain coming from his shirt "It's much better, thank you" he said turning to the princess
"You're quite welcome Pooh. I was glad to help" she smiled back "But you get used to such things when you're doing it for mice all the time"
"Pooh bear!" Piglet called out and ran towards them with Prince Charming following behind.
"Ah hello Piglet, hello Prince" Pooh waved up to him
"Hello Pooh" the Prince spoke down to him before turning to Cinderella "Nothing too dangerous I hope" he smiled
"Of course not, he was very good about it and patient too" Cinderella told him.
Pooh's tummy then rumbled "Can I be rewarded for my patience?" Pooh asked as his lips smacked together.
"Of course" Cinderella said as she reached for a honey pot on the table "Help yourself" she said handing it to him. Pooh graciously took the pot and brought it to his face. He slurped the honey as it escaped the pot but less and less honey was in the pot Pooh raised it higher and stuck his head in more. He became so focused on this that he fell onto his back with his head still in the honey jar.
"Uh Cinderella" his voice echoed from the pot "I think I'm stuck" he said trying to pull the pot from his head.
"Don't worry, nothing we can fix" Cinderella said getting up from her chair, putting her hands on the pot and then taking it off his head. Pooh thanked her again but not before wiping off the small smackerals oh Honey around his face.
