Chapter Two: Shipping out
Christopher Robin went to three months of boot camp before becoming a soldier. The drill instructors were so impressed with this skinny boy's performance during training they promoted him to private first class upon graduation. Private First Class Robin later finished his advanced training and was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division. After a year since his enlistment he went home on leave. It was a sunny September day when Christopher Robin came home. Everyone greeted him warmly and was awed by his uniform. Christopher Robin caught up with all his friends, family and gossip, but he couldn't wait to see his friends in his friends in the Hundred-Acre Wood. It was a Tuesday morning when Christopher Robin hiked into the Wood. He quickly caught up with his friends. They had a small picnic, courtesy of Rabbit's garden and Pooh's honey cabinet. Everyone ate and talked while listening to a small radio Christopher brought with him. All was well until the music stop playing on the radio and the DJ announced that a jet airliner hit the World Trade Center. Everyone became quiet as the situation became worse, the WTC collapsed, the Pentagon was hit and a jet airliner crashed in Pennsylvania. Christopher knew that all the death and destruction of that day will mean, all out war on whomever caused it. He quickly got up and bid farewell to his friends, they too knew what the situation meant. Christopher Robin later wrote to his friends months later (there was a mailbox outside the Wood) that he was being shipped out to a country called Afghanistan to find a man named Osama bin Laden who was the leader in the September attacks. No doubt everyone was worried about Christopher Robin. They hardly heard from him and the only news of the war they got was from the radio that Christopher gave them. Good news arrived when they heard over the radio that the war in Afghanistan was over and that a letter from Christopher finally arrived. Christopher was all right, except for a minor gunshot wound. He told them of his exploits and of the on going search for bin Laden in Afghanistan. Their Christopher became a hero in the Hundred- Acre Wood. In the spring Christopher visited the Wood again with some change. He was now a corporal and had a few ribbons on his chest.
