Author's Notes: As usual, my loyal and trusty readers – I welcome you once again to another glorious chapter of Chains of Destiny!
I still have no word on my beta reader's results about Chapter 6 of Linked into One… So, it may take a while until she replies. In the meantime, I decided to continue with writing Chains of Destiny.
Anyways, the moment has finally come – it is time to reveal who the mysterious guest from Fairy Tail is and finish Pooh's world! I have been waiting a long time to write this and now it is about to be done.
Let's get started! I do not own Kingdom Hearts, Soul Eater nor Fairy Tail – they are owned by Tetsuya Nomura, Atsushi Okubo and Hiro Mashima.
Chapter 33 – Reunion and Pooh's World.
After returning to their Gummi Ships, the group started flying back to Traverse Town. It wasn't a very long flight and after a few minutes – they had arrived back at the refugee world.
"So, are we ready to go to Merlin's place and finish Pooh's story?" Maka asked when she and her group entered the First District.
The group nodded and started walking towards Merlin's house, but before they reached the entrance to the Second District, an unknown voice called out to them:
"Lucy, Levy!"
Sora, Maka, Donald and Goofy didn't recognized that voice. But, surprisingly – Lucy and Levy actually did. It seemed very familiar to them.
The group turned around and noticed a young petite girl of age 17 with short white hair and blue eyes running towards them. The only clothing she wore were a light-blue stripped shirt, green shorts and sneakers.
"Lisanna!?" Both Lucy and Levy yelled in surprise.
"I finally found you, guys!" The girl known as Lisanna said, as she hugged Lucy and Levy tightly.
The rest of the group were confused at this. Who was Lisanna and how did she know Lucy and Levy?
Lisanna let go off Lucy and Levy and said with a smile. "I'm so happy to finally see you again!"
"We are happy to see you as well, Lisanna… But, how did you find us and what are you doing here?" Lucy asked.
"Guys, forget about that! Lucy, Levy! Where the hell did you go and what have you been doing for the past two weeks?" Lisanna asked.
"Wait, what do you mean 'past two weeks'?" Levy asked.
"Lucy, Levy – you both have been gone for two weeks. The entire guild is worried about you – Team Natsu included!" Lisanna said.
Lucy and Levy were both in shock! More than two weeks had passed since they left Fiore? What the hell is going!?
"Ummm… I hope we aren't interrupting anything important here." Maka spoke up.
It was then that Lisanna noticed the rest of the people that Lucy and Levy had been traveling with.
"Oh, who are you? I've never seen you four before. Are you friends of Lucy and Levy?" Lisanna asked in a curious tone.
Sora grinned and introduced himself, as well as his friends. "My name is Sora. And these are my friends – Maka, Donald and Goofy."
"Nice to meet you." Maka said with a smile.
"Hello there!" Goofy said.
"Pleasure to meet you." Donald said.
Lisanna giggled and said. "Likewise - I have to thank you for keeping an eye on Lucy and Levy over here."
"It's no trouble at all. Are you a mage just like them?" Maka asked.
Lisanna nodded and said. "Correct. As a mage, I can use Take Over Magic – with it, I can transform my body into an animal or hybrid-animal forms. Pretty useful to have during a battle."
"That sounds cool!" Sora said with a grin.
Lisanna smiled and then turned her attention towards Lucy and Levy.
"Look, I'm not mad at you two… However, you made me and the entire guild worry sick. Please, tell me why didn't we see you both for the next two weeks and what have you been up to." Lisanna pleaded with them.
Lucy and Levy looked at each with worried faces. There was no way to escape from this topic, unfortunately. They needed to tell Lisanna the truth or else she might go back to Fiore and tell the rest of their teammates. Then chaos would ensure after this. Maybe there was another- No, Lucy and Levy had no choice in the matter. They need to tell the truth if someone from Fairy Tail came to Traverse Town to find them sooner or later. The two girls nodded in agreement.
Lucy gave a small sigh and said. "Alright, Lisanna. We will tell you the truth, but can we go somewhere private so we can talk freely?"
Lisanna nodded and said. "Yes, I can respect that."
Levy turned her attention towards the rest of her group and said. "Guys, we have some catching up and explaining to do with our friend Lisanna over here. Would you mind if-"
"Say no more. The rest of us can go and finish Pooh's book. You go and catch up with your friend." Maka said with a smile.
"Thanks, guys. We owe you one." Lucy said with a smile. She then took out the missing pages of Pooh's book from her pocket and handed them to Maka.
"Be sure to tell us how you did." Levy said. Then, she, Lucy and Lisanna started walking somewhere quiet, so they could chat in peace.
"While those three are busy… We might as well go and complete Pooh's world." Sora said.
"Right, let's go." Donald said.
The group left the First District, passed through Second and Third… soon after that - they had finally made to Merlin's house.
They entered and no surprise – the wizard was still there.
"Ah, you are back! What news do you bring?" Merlin asked, as he stroked his beard.
"Good news. We found all of the pages." Maka said.
"Ah, excellent. Put them back inside the book and finish the story." Merlin said.
Sora and Maka both placed the missing pages and the book was complete, however – their job was far from done.
Donald opened the book and both Sora and Maka were sucked in again.
Although, they had already visited the hill where they found Pooh and his home that was inside a tree – the teenagers decided to explore more of the Hundred Acre Woods.
Eventually, they came across a tall tree which was buzzing with bees. Sora and Maka looked around the place until they heard a small sound coming from a nearby log:
"Hello, i-is anyone there?"
From the log, a small pink piglet came out – he had a scared and worried expression on his face.
"Wh-Wh-What am I to do? I'm all alone." The small piglet said, as he looked around very nervously.
"Pooh? Pooh? Where are you? It's me, Piglet." The small piglet who was surprisingly named Piglet called out to Winnie the Pooh.
He felt a presence or two behind him and turned around. To his surprise, Sora and Maka were there and he ran all the way fearfully behind the tree.
"Ah, the poor little piglet. He's probably scared of us." Maka said with a sad frown.
"Yeah, but how can we get him to talk to us?" Sora asked.
Maka thought about this for a few minutes and soon an idea popped into her head.
"I have an idea. Follow me." Maka answered.
"What is it?" Sora asked.
"Just do it." Maka answered.
Sora and Maka quickly walked behind the tree and were in front of Piglet ready to talk to him.
But, when the small pink pig turned around and noticed the teenagers – he became scared again.
"Oh dear! I was j-just… N-never mind. I'm sorry!" The small piglet begged as he closed his eyes in fear.
Sora and Maka both bent down to the pig's height.
"Why would we hurt such a cute little guy like you?" Maka asked.
"That's right – you are looking for Pooh, correct?" Sora asked.
"Oh, do you two know Pooh?" Piglet asked and the teenagers nodded.
The small pink pig sighed in relief and said. "Oh, okay… Now I feel much better."
"So, what exactly are you trying to do?" Maka asked.
"Oh, y-you see, I-I have something that I need to give to him very quickly." Piglet answered.
Just then, the teenagers and Piglet noticed Pooh walking towards the tree that was buzzing with bees.
"Oh, Pooh!" Piglet called out and started running towards him.
"Oh, hello Piglet! Nice to see you today." Pooh said with a smile. "I see you have already met my new friends Sora and Maka." The yellow bear finished speaking.
"Listen, Pooh. I've got the thing that you've asked me to get." Piglet said and then gave a blue balloon to Pooh.
"Thank you, Piglet. Now I can finally have some honey." Pooh said.
"Really? B-But how?" Piglet asked.
"I shall hold on to the balloon and fly like a bee up the Hunny Tree, see." Pooh explained his plan.
"Do you really think that idea might work?" Maka asked.
"Of course!" Pooh said with a smile.
"But if you take their honey, won't the bees be angry?" Piglet asked.
"You can leave the bees to me and Maka, Pooh." Sora said and Maka nodded.
"Thank you. If you can help me fly up to the tree, I might be able to get some honey." Pooh said.
Just then, on a branch above them – an owl landed.
"Oh! Hello there, Owl." Pooh said to the owl who was surprisingly called Owl.
"Hello there, Pooh. Let me guess – you want to get some honey?" Owl asked and Pooh nodded.
"Alright, but what if the bees attack you?" Owl asked.
"We will defend Pooh from the bees." Maka answered.
"Very well. Best of luck Pooh! And also, be sure to not let his balloon pop." Owl said to the two teenagers who nod in return.
Sora and Maka helped Pooh get into the air and the two started climbing up the tree. Along the way, however – the teenagers had to dispose of honey bees whom all attempted to pop the yellow bear's balloon. The more Pooh climbed the tree, the more honey he managed to collect for himself. Sora and Maka continued swatting away the bees that came to pop the balloon while the yellow bear enjoyed eating his sweet meal. Soon, after gathering enough honey – Pooh floated down and Sora and Maka did the same.
"How was the honey?" Maka asked.
"Pretty good! But there is always room for more." Pooh answered.
"Thank you for helping my friend." Piglet said.
"It's no trouble at all." Sora said.
Sora and Maka left the tall tree and started looking around so more until they came across a vegetable garden and another house inside a tree. They walked across a bridge and noticed a mailbox that was labeled 'RABBiT'. The teenagers paid no attention to the post and decided to knock on the door, but a stern voice stopped them:
"Nobody's home! And I'm out of honey!"
Sora and Maka were confused at this.
"Who was that?" Sora asked.
"No idea. Let's check the back of the house." Maka suggested.
The two teenagers walked to the back and noticed Pooh and Piglet staring in through a hole in a burrow and beneath it – there was a sign that read 'RABBiT'S HOWSE.'
Sora and Maka walked over to Piglet and talked to him.
"Look, Rabbt's house c-came back! But it looks like Rabbit isn't home. Pooh's been calling and calling, but the house says no one's there." Piglet said.
"Nobody's home?" Pooh called out.
"That's right, Nobody!" The stern voice from before answered.
"Hey, Sora… Let's try the front door again." Maka suggested.
"Good idea." Sora said with a nod.
The teenagers went back to the front door and discovered that it was unlocked. They entered the house while Pooh and Piglet were still back at the hole.
"Who is this person named Nobody?" Pooh asked and then he began to climb into the burrow.
"Nobody, have you seen Rabbit?" Pooh asked Nobody.
"No! No Rabbit here! There's no one here!" The Nobody said.
When they entered the burrow, the teenagers noticed a yellow rabbit with a worried expression on his face. Just then, Pooh and Piglet hopped inside the house.
"Hello, Rabbit!" Pooh said to the rabbit who was surprisingly named Rabbit.
"Why, P-Pooh. What a pleasant surprise… Nice to see you, too, Piglet." Rabbit said.
Just then, the yellow rabbit turned around and noticed Sora and Maka's presence.
"Oh, hello there. Are you two new? I haven't seen you before in the Hundred Acre Woods." Rabbit said.
"You could say that. My name is Maka and this is my boyfriend Sora." Maka said, as she introduced herself and Sora to Rabbit.
"A pleasure to meet you both. Pooh, I'm sorry – but, I'm all out of honey at the moment." Rabbit explained to Pooh.
"Oh, that's too bad." Pooh said.
Just then, Maka smelled something sweet and looked up. To her surprise, there was a honey pot on a branch.
"Hey! There's some honey on that branch!" Maka said, as she pointed at the honey pot beneath them.
Rabbit looked up and was surprised.
"H-Honey? Now, how did that get up there? Would you like some Pooh?" Rabbit asked and Pooh nodded.
Rabbit got the honey pot down and placed it on the table.
"Oh, thank you, Rabbit. I would like just a small smackeral. I'm quite hungry." Pooh said, as he sat at the table and started eating from the honey pot.
"Um, Pooh Bear…" Rabbit began, but was ignored as Pooh continued eating.
"You're not eating the whole pot, are you?" Rabbit asked, but he was ignored by Pooh again.
"Once you start, there's no stopping you, is there…" Rabbit asked, but Pooh continued eating.
Soon, he finished eating and Rabbit sighed in defeat.
"Ohh… Out of honey again." Rabbit said.
"Hey, Maka. Should we go and explore the Hundred Acre Woods?" Sora asked.
"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea." Maka answered.
The two teenagers left the house and attempted to walk off the vegetable garden when the voice of Piglet called out them:
"H-help! Please help Pooh!"
The two turned around and noticed Piglet running towards them.
"You have to come with me! Pooh is in trouble!" Piglet said.
The two teenagers nodded and follow Piglet back inside the house where Pooh was surprisingly stuck in the hole in the wall.
"This is terrible! We have to get Pooh out of there!" Rabbit said.
"Is there anything we could do to get him out of there?" Sora asked.
Rabbit thought about this for a few seconds then an idea popped into his head.
"Yes! All we need is some carrot juice! Luckily, I have a carrot patch on the other side of the stream. We need to collect some carrots and Pooh will be freed in no time!" Rabbit said and then ran out to get some carrot.
"Let's follow him." Maka said and Sora nodded.
The teenagers left the house to get to the garden, but just then – they noticed an orange tiger who was bouncing around the garden. Soon, the animal bumped into Maka and pushed her on the ground.
"Hey, there! Name's Tigger! T-I-double-guh-RR. That spells Tigger!" The tiger who was called Tigger introduced himself to Maka. The female teenager, however wasn't annoyed at him pushing her onto the ground. In fact, she giggled at his hilarious bouncing.
Tigger looked over Maka and said. "Well, now! I don't think I've ever seen you before!"
"Hello, Tigger. You've just bounced on one of my new friends, Maka." Pooh said.
"Hey, Pooh! Say, you're lookin' mighty uncomfy today. Is that some new exercise? Why, bouncin' around is a lot more fun." Tigger said, as he got off Maka and started bouncing around some more.
"You okay, Maka?" Sora asked, as he pulled up his girlfriend.
Maka nodded with a smile and answered. "Yep, I'm okay. Why do you bounce so much Tigger?"
"Why? 'Cause bouncin' is what Tiggers do best!" Tigger replied.
"Speaking of which, my bouncing spot has gone and disappeared! So for now, this'll be my new bouncin' ground." Tigger said with a laugh and started bouncing towards Rabbit's garden.
"Oh, no! You have to protect my garden! If my carrots get destroyed by Tigger's bouncing – we will never be able to get Pooh out of the hole." Rabbit said.
"Don't worry – we will protect your garden." Sora said with a smile.
"Thank you. I am forever in your debt." Rabbit said.
Tigger started jumping around the carrot field with Sora and Maka following and stopping him from burying the carrots. The orange tiger continued bouncing on different carrots, but the two teenagers managed to stop him in the nick of time. Soon, after a while – Tigger stopped jumping and laughed.
"Ah, what a nice exercise! I had so much fun bouncing around!" Tigger said and then bounced away from the garden.
"Thank you for protecting my garden. Now I can finally make that carrot juice… In the meantime, why don't you two go back inside the house and wait until I finish making it?" Rabbit said.
Sora and Maka nodded and both went back inside the house. A little later, Rabbit entered and gave an exhausted sigh.
"Oh, what a day! Well, it's done – I gave Pooh the carrot juice and now you should be able to get him out. All you have to do is give him a little push." Rabbit explained.
Sora and Maka nodded and they pushed Pooh out of the hole… only to have him land to where other honey pots where in Rabbit's yard. Needless to say, Rabbit was shocked and horrified.
"First my vegetable patch and now this…" Rabbit said with a dismayed tone while Piglet covered his eyes. Sora and Maka just giggled at how the yellow bunny had more work to do.
Meanwhile, outside - Pooh was sitting on the ground with a honey jar on his head.
"Oh, bother. Where am I? It's ever so dark in here. Well, it isn't so bad, I suppose. There is plenty of honey." Pooh said with a laugh.
"Oh… That's bad." Maka said with a sheepish grin.
"Sorry, Pooh!" Sora said with a nervous laugh.
"Well, you two did help me… So, I guess I owe you thanks." Rabbit said.
Sora and Maka nodded with thankful smiles on their faces and left Rabbit's home.
The two teenagers continued exploring the Hundred Acre Woods and soon came across a river with Pooh and Piglet standing on a bridge overlooking at the water.
"What are they doing?" Sora asked.
"Let's find out." Maka replied.
The two teenagers walked closer just as Piglet noticed something in the water.
"Look, Pooh. Something is floating this way." Piglet said.
"I think you're right, Piglet. What could it be?" Pooh asked.
The bear and the pig looked at the river and noticed a gray-furred donkey floating slowly along the current of the water. Pooh recognized him immediately.
"Why, it looks like Eeyore! Hello, Eeyore, if it is you." Pooh said to the donkey called Eeyore, as he waved at him.
The donkey looked up at the two and said in a depressed tone. "Hello, Pooh and Piglet. Would you mind pulling me out of the river? If it's not too much trouble…"
"Of course. We'd love to help you." Pooh said with Sora and Maka following him to help Eeyore.
"Let's help the poor donkey get out of the river." Maka said and Sora nodded.
They jumped into the river and helped Eeyore out of there.
Sora, Maka, Eeyore, Pooh and Piglet all met on the riverbank.
"Thank you so much, Pooh. And thank you as well, children." Eeyore said to Sora and Maka.
"No problem, but you seem down. What's wrong?" Maka asked with a sad frown.
"Well, while I was floating down the river – I sensed that something was missing…" Eeyore replied.
Piglet ran behind Eeyore and was surprised at what he saw.
"Eeyore, your tail is missing! Is that it?" Piglet asked.
"Ah, yes. That's it. Wonder where it went again… It's not much of a tail, but I'm still rather attached to it." Eeyore said.
"Do you know where it is?" Sora asked.
"No." Eeyore replied and shook his head.
"Can you help us find his tail?" Pooh asked and the two teenagers nodded.
"Lost something, have you?" Owl asked, as he flew down to them.
"It's Eeyore's tail. Do you have any idea where it could be?" Maka asked Owl.
"No, but I have an idea on where you could find it. Follow me and take Pooh with you." Owl replied.
"Okay, but why?" Sora asked.
"You will see." Owl replied again.
Sora, Maka and Pooh followed Owl to a hill where there was a tree with a swing on it.
"A swing!" Pooh said, as he got on the swing.
"What do we do now?" Maka asked.
"Push Pooh on the swing. The more you swing, the higher he will get." Owl said.
"How is this going to help us find Eeyore's tail?" Sora asked.
"You'll find out." Owl simply replied.
Sora and Maka looked at each other and shrugged.
On Owl's cue, the teenagers started swinging Pooh. The more they swung, the higher the yellow bear got. Soon, they pushed Pooh to far that resulted in him flying off the swing and into the air. Eventually, he crash landed on a tiny hut made of sticks and now there was a mess on the ground. Sora and Maka rushed forward to see if Pooh was okay. Just then, they noticed a blue tail with a pink bow on it. Maka assumed that it was Eeyore's, so she picked it up and placed it on the donkey's back.
"So, how is it?" Maka asked.
"It's fine. Thank you for putting it back." Eeyore replied, but his tone still sounded sadder.
"What's wrong?" Sora asked.
"Well, I've got my tail back… But, now my house is broken." Eeyore replied, pointing at the mess on the ground.
"Wait, that was your house?" Sora began.
Eeyore nodded and replied. "Yep, that was mine."
"Oh, my gosh! We're so sorry that we destroyed your house!" Maka said with a sad expression.
"It's no trouble – it always gets destroyed. No harm done." Eeyore said.
"Thank you for helping Eeyore." Pooh said.
"It's no trouble at all." Maka said.
The teens continued to explore the Hundred Acre Woods and soon stumbled onto an area with logs, stumps and a giant honey pot in the middle. Sora and Maka noticed that Tigger was there along with a young kangaroo in a blue shirt - the two animals were currently practicing their bouncing. Just then, the orange tiger noticed the presence of the two teenagers.
"Hey there, Sora and Maka! You up for a little bouncing?" Tigger asked.
"Sure. But, what do we have to do?" Maka asked.
"Just follow what Roo and I do!" Tigger said while pointing at himself and the kangaroo who was called Roo.
"You just have to jump from whatever stump we bounce off and reach the end." Roo said.
"Can you handle that?" Tigger asked.
Sora and Maka both nodded.
"Okay, let's get started then!" Tigger said.
Tigger and Roo jumped on the first stump and both of them did the first bouncing routine - soon, they reached the end. The two teens repeated what they did and reached the cliff where the orange tiger and the brown kangaroo where.
"Not bad. Now, here's a little warm up." Tigger said.
Tigger and Roo did a harder pattern this time, but still reached the end. Sora and Maka repeated what they did and emerged victorious for the second time.
"You're doin' fantastical! This'll be the last one." Tigger said.
Tigger and Roo did the final pattern which was a little tricky than the last two and managed to reach the end. Sora and Maka repeated what they did again and emerged victorious for the third and final time.
Tigger jumped around in glee and said. "You've gotten mighty good at bouncin', Sora and Maka! Right, Roo?"
"Hey, Tigger! I think they are ready for the big one!" Roo said.
"Well, there's only one way to find out!" Tigger said.
"What's the big one?" Maka asked.
"It's very simple. I will be throwing nuts at you and you two try to hit them back into the pot. Do you think you two have what it takes?" Tigger asked.
The teens nodded with smiles.
"Alright, here we go!" Tigger said, as he jumped into the pot.
Just then, nuts started flying from the pot which prompted Sora and Maka to use their Keyblades and hit them back from they came from. Eventually, the last nut was sent back into the pot and the entire thing was shattered.
Just then, Sora and Maka noticed that Pooh trying to get something.
"Oh, dear - There's no honey here." Pooh Bear said.
"What are you doing here Pooh?" Maka asked.
"Oh, I'm just searching for some honey." Pooh answered.
"We can help you if you like." Sora suggested.
"Oh, no - That won't be necessary. You've done plenty already." Pooh said.
The teenagers nodded and continued exploring the Hundred Acre Woods. Soon, they arrived at a muddy area where Pooh was walking in circles around a bramble bush.
"Umm… what are you doing Pooh?" Sora asked.
"Shh. Quiet, or they'll get away!" Pooh said, as he pressed a finger to his lips.
"Who, Pooh?" Maka asked.
"The people who took everyone away. See their footprints?" Pooh asked when he pointed at the muddy footprints.
"We were all sticking together to make sure no one got lost again. But then, I saw some footprints that needed following. So I did. Suddenly, everyone was gone. Bad people must have taken them away!" Pooh explained.
Sora chuckled nervously while Maka simply giggled. They had already figured out to which person the footprints belonged to – Pooh.
"Actually, Pooh, I think those footprints are…" Sora was cut off by Maka who shook her head indicating that he shouldn't tell Pooh the truth about who's footprints are those.
"Anyways… we'll help you find your friends Pooh." Sora said.
"Ah, thank you." Pooh said.
Sora and Maka walked around the muddy area and surprisingly – they found Eeyore inside the bramble bush.
"Eeyore, what are you doing here?" Maka asked.
"Oh, just looking for sticks to build my house… again." Eeyore replied.
"Oh, that explains it." Maka said.
"Also, I'm waiting for my friends to come here." Eeyore said.
"Understand. If we find them, should we bring them here?" Sora asked.
Eeyore nodded and said. "Yes, please do."
The two teenagers began searching for Pooh's friends all around the area. The first animal they found was Roo who was sitting on a tree branch.
"All I wanted was to jump as high as Tigger…" Roo said and he went over to where Eeyore was.
Sora and Maka continued to look around and soon, they found Rabbit inside a hole.
He came out and said. "Oh, it seems I must have gotten lost." Then he went over to where Eeyore was.
The next animal and easiest one to find was Tigger. He was bouncing on top of a tree log.
"I was only looking for Pooh boy." Tigger said and he went to the bush where Eeyore was.
Sora and Maka continued searching and found Piglet hiding under a tree.
"I was only searching for Pooh, but I got myself lost." Piglet said and went over to where Eeyore was.
The last animal was Owl – he was trying to take off by Sora and Maka caught him in the nick of time.
"Oh, I was only trying to find Piglet." Owl said, as he flew to where Eeyore was.
"Ah, you found all my friends! Thank you!" Pooh said.
"It's was no trouble." Maka said with a smile.
(A little later – nighttime…)
It was already nighttime in the Hundred Acre Woods. Sora, Maka, Pooh and their new friends were relaxing on the tree hill after the busy day they had.
"I'm so glad we're all together again." Piglet said with a laugh.
"I didn't know what to do when I was all alone." Piglet said.
"Aw, Piglet, you gotta be brave." Tigger said.
"You weren't lonely at all?" Piglet asked.
"Lonely? Are you kiddin'? I'm a Tigger! The most wonderful thing about Tiggers is I'm only one. But I do admit, friends are awfully fun, too!" Tigger replied.
"Think, think, think." Pooh said.
Sora and Maka turned around and looked at the bear who was currently taping his head.
"Hey, Pooh, what are you thinking about now?" Maka asked.
"Oh, well, I'm just thinking about what to think about." Pooh answered.
Sora smiled and Maka giggled.
"Well, I guess it's time for us to be off." Sora said, as he looked at the stars.
"Sora, Maka – where are you two going?" Piglet asked.
Sora and Maka stood up and walked to the edge of the hill.
"We have to go. Our friends are waiting for us." Maka said.
The teens looked at the animals with smiles on their faces.
"Bounce on back again!" Tigger said happily.
"I hope you both find your friends!" Piglet said.
Sora and Maka nodded, jumped off the hill and walked down the path. But, they stopped and turned around to wave goodbye to their new friends.
"Sora, Maka - don't forget… We shall always be here." Pooh said, as Sora and Maka left the Hundred Acre Woods.
"If you'd like to visit us again, that is." Pooh said.
Sora and Maka both disappear from the Hundred Acre Woods. On the outside, there was a Keyhole on the lock of the books, so they used their Keyblades to close it. Surprisingly, on the cover – there was now a picture of Sora and Maka holding hands with Pooh and Piglet while Tigger bounced around with them.
Soon, they returned to Merlin's study and the teenagers stretched their arms.
"You are both back!" Donald said.
"How was it? What was inside the book?" Goofy asked.
"We met a new friend called Winnie the Pooh and we were able to help him reunite with his friends." Maka explained.
"That's nice!" Goofy said.
Sora and Maka both nodded.
"Right, are we going back to the rest of our friends?" Donald asked.
Maka nodded and said. "Yes, we are. I bet Lucy and Levy's friend - Lisanna wants to ask us a couple of questions."
"About how we met Lucy and Levy?" Sora asked.
"Yes, but not just that…" Maka answered.
"About our adventures?" Donald asked.
"Possibly." Maka answered.
"Well, why don't we go and find the girls?" Goofy said.
"Yeah, let's get moving." Maka said.
The teenagers, Donald and Goofy left Merlin's house to go and find the Fairy Tail mages…
Author's Notes: Wow! That's was a long chapter to write, but at least it is all over now. Pooh's World is completed at last! Yes, I have done it! Now, we can get back to the rest of the story.
So, our Fairy Tail guest has finally appeared – Lisanna Strauss! That's right – she will be Levy's replacement once the young blue-haired girl falls straight into the darkness. And speaking of Miss McGarden's future fate… expect something big to happen in the next chapter of CoD. I can't wait to write that… I seriously can't.
On a side note, my beta reader has finally replied to my DA note. She is currently in the process of examining the next chapter of Linked into One. Once she tells me the end result, I will see what else needs to be done to it before I can update Mina's story.
Right, time to get this posted on ! As usual – fave, follow and review my story if you like it. I always await and see what your reaction is going to be! Thank you all for supporting my wonderful crossover story. Okay, time for me to get out. Bye and until next time!
