At the request of some readers I've changed the story summary into something that better describes said story. Apparently I suck at summaries, I already knew that but I didn't realize how bad it was. Hopefully with it fixed it will draw in more readers.

Chapter XXI- Traverse Town (Part 6) && Hundred-Acre Woods (Part 1)

It was early in the morning when Koga woke up. He had a really good sleep, since its the first time he slept in a bed in days, but he had something to do. He made sure to leave a note so the other's don't worry about him. He quietly slipped out of his room and closed the door quietly.

He turned around and saw Sora standing there by the door looking like he was sneaking. Both opened their mouths to say something but was shushed by Goofy's snoring in the other room. Both brothers had a look in their eyes that said they were here to do the exact same thing. With a small nod they sneaked together out of the motel. They breathed a sigh of relief.

"Going somewhere?" Leon said standing next to the door. Sora yelped in surprise but Koga quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

"Leon, don't scare us like that!" He pouted. "I almost woke the other's up."

"What are you two sneaking to?"

"None of your business, just an errand." Koga scowled at the older man. He was still a little angry at him for hurting his brother.

Leon shrugged. "Fine I was just passing by anyway, I hear you got something to talk to me about. But I guess it's for the best that everyone is here for it." Koga nodded. "Meet us later at th-"

"The abandoned house in the Third District, I know." Koga said curtly.

"Also I wanted to give you this." He handed Koga a small orb. It looked as brown as the earth and shines like a gem. Koga felt something when he held it, he doesn't know how to describe it but it felt strong. "I've been keeping it on me for luck, maybe you'll find a better use for it." He said as he strolled past them.

"Um thanks." Koga said as the two of them made their way to the Third District. Using a fire spell Koga opened the red door. The twins stepped through and saw a strange looking house in the center of a underground lake. Honestly it looked more like a old tower. They hopped over rocks to get to the house and they almost made it to the other side before Koga slipped and fell into the water.

"AH, the water is freezing cold!" He cried out. Sora helped him out in between his laughter. He glared at his brother as he squeezed the water off his jacket. "Shut up, it's not funny!"

"Hey, at least you got finally took a bath! Hahahahah- AH!" Sora yelped when Koga pushed Sora into the water.

After the two dried off they went inside the house. It was dark, empty, Kairi was there, the place smelled like...

Wait.

"Kairi?" The two said looking at the familiar redhead smiling at them from across the room. The two couldn't help but smile back at her, feeling a comforting and reliving presence from her.

"There's something about this musty place. It reminds me of the secret place back home, where we used to scribble on the walls."

"Remember when we used to imagine our own adventures with Riku. Once we were pirates, another you two were heroes saving a princess, we pretended to be superheroes, and then there was that one time we imagined us flying to other worlds. We had our fun, if only we could do it again.

"We can Kairi, come with us." Koga said. He reached out his hand to her, hoping she would take it. She smiled sadly at the gesture.

"Don't forget your promise Koga." She then vanished in front of their eyes.

Their surprise was quickly replaced by the sound of the door creaking open.

"Well well well, you two came here sooner than expected." They turned and saw an old man wearing a blue pointed hat and a blue cloak. His white beard almost reached to the floor. He had a briefcase in his left hands and a pair of spectacles on his nose.

Next to him was a plump old lady wearing a blue cloak like Merlin's but hung loosely on her frame and had a hood along with it. She held a silver wand in her hand.

"Um..." Koga and Sora stood there unsure what to say to these strange people.

"Merlin, I think a proper introduction is in order." The lady said.

"Oh quite right, ahem, my name is Merlin, the Wizard." The old man proclaimed proudly.

"And I am the Fairy Godmother." The lady said doing a curtsy.

"Fairy Godmother?"

"Yes, I appear to those who believes dreams can come true. I was the Fairy Godmother of a beautiful young lady who found her true love and became a princess." Her smile dropped. "But unfortunately my world fell to darkness and we became separated."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Koga said. Fairy Godmother smiled and patted his head.

"It's okay dear. I believe that Cinderella is still out there somewhere. One day I will find her, you just have to keep believing. For now I can help by aiding the King and the Keybearer."

"The King?"

Merlin cleared his throat. "Yes, the King has sent us to assist you."

"How?"

"Now just hold on a minute boys, let me finish unpacking first." He put his bag in the center of the room and pulled out a cane that seemed to come out of nowhere. He tapped the bag. "Higitus Figitus Migitus Mum! Prestigitonium!" He said as small items floated out of the bag and scattered around the room, upon closer look they were actually miniature furniture. Suddenly they grew in size until the room was suddenly furnished. There was a lot of books and equipment for study all around the room. Fairy Godmother had her own ornate chair for her to sit on. Merlin ignored the impressed looks on the boy's faces. "Now then, I have been called to assist in training you in the arts of magic. Just say the word and I'll be happy to provide my teaching."

"Really?! You'll give us magic training?" Koga said excitedly.

"Yes, but don't get too excited Koga." Merlin pointed at Koga. "I sense a great magic potential in you, given time and training you will prove to be an exceptional mage. But you mustn't be too reliant on magic or else you will never reach your Keyblade's full potential."

Koga nodded understanding.

"Oh I almost forgot, we were supposed to give you this." He handed him the package from Cid.

"Oh, he finally fixed that book! Thank you boys." He said as he unwrapped it revealing a very old looking book.

"Oh but it seems there are some pages missing."

"What is it?"

"Oh, this? It's a special book that I acquired many years back. It got lost when the world I was living in fell to darkness. I managed to find enough pieces to get it rebuilt but it seems there are still pages missing."

"What's special about it?" Sora asked. Merlin gave a shrug.

"Perhaps you should see for yourself." Fairy Godmother insisted.

Koga peered over Sora's shoulder as he opened up the book. Just then a light came out of the book and blinded them. They felt themselves get sucked into the book.

"Um what just happened?" Koga asked bewildered. He and Sora found themselves in a open grassy clearing, a large forest covered the land. There were these parts of the forest that looked whited out like someone erased the land itself.

"I don't know, but let's try to play it cool there is someone over there." Sora pointed to the middle of the clearing. On a log sat a small yellow bear with a red shirt, he looked kinda like a stuffed doll.

"Think think..." The bear mumbled to himself. He looked like he was thinking really hard about something.

"Um hello." The bear looked up and saw the two strangers. "Is something wrong?"

"No, I'm just thinking. I was thinking of how to say goodbye to Pooh."

"Pooh?" Koga asked.

"Yes?" the bear responded with a smile like he was being called.

"Wait a second, you're Pooh?" Sora asked now sitting casually on the log next to him, Koga followed suit.

"Yes, I'm Winnie the Pooh. Pooh for short. Who are you two?"

"I'm Sora."

"And I'm his twin brother Koga."

"Oh. Hello Sora and His-Twin-Brother-Koga." Pooh said innocently.

Koga chuckled and gave a patient smile. "Maybe just call me Koga for short."

"Oh I'm sorry, I am usually known as a bear with very little brain. Is that why you have come to say goodbye to Pooh, too?"

They both shook their heads. "No, why would we? We just met."

"Because everyone else has gone away."

"What do you mean by that?" Sora asked.

Pooh looked up to the sky sadly. "Well, we all lived here in the Hundred Acre Wood. And we'd take walks together, or play Pooh sticks..." Sora gave a small snort. Koga glared at his brother, his immaturity might come off as insincere "And every day, I'd eat some honey. Oh just one small smackeral would taste very good right now. But now, everyone is gone. All my friends and my favorite Hunny Tree too. Everyone must've gone away while I was napping, I think..."

The two tried to piece together what happened, maybe it has something to do with the erased parts of the woods.

Pooh sighed and hopped off the log. "So, who knows? Maybe I shall end up going away somewhere as well. But I wonder, how do I say goodbye to myself?" His stomach growled. "Oh, it seems that my tumbly is getting rather rumbly." He said as he wandered off. The two looked at each other sadly.

"He seems pretty lonely." Sora said. Koga nodded. "Let's follow him." They followed Pooh to the woods and came across a small house built into a tree, with an odd sign hanging above the door. They crouched and looked through the open door. They saw it was nicely furnished for a small house, Pooh was looking through a bunch of pots labeled 'Hunny'.

"Oh, bother. There's no more honey left. If only the Hunny Tree would visit... then I could eat my fill." He said sadly.

Koga tried to say something but then there was the bright light again.

The twins found themselves back in Merlin's study. They blinked in surprise.

"Ah, you're back." Merlin said not surprised in the slightest.

"What just happened?" Koga asked.

"Isn't it obvious, you went into the book."

"The book?" They looked back and saw the book on the floor. They picked it up and looked at it together. They then looked at each other and ran to the same conclusion.

"Pooh's world is inside a book."

"Yes, and unfortunately said world is damaged. What with the pages missing and everything."

"That must be why his friends and parts of the world is missing."

"Maybe if we find the pages everything will go back to normal."

"Let's do it for Pooh!"

"Now hold on boys!" He said as he bonked them on the head with his cane. "Looking for these pages will be like finding a needle in a haystack. They are scattered across the worlds. Fortunately I can help with that." He mumbled something to himself as he tapped the book as it glowed with energy. "There now you'll have an easier time finding them. When you get near a page it will glow with this greenish energy. Do find it and restore the book for me?"

"We will!" They then gently put the book on a desk. "Don't worry Pooh, we'll fix your world." Suddenly an orb fell out of the book. Koga looked at it curiously and picked it up. It had a pink flowery design to it and it felt similar to the gem Leon gave him. He pulled it out to compare.

"Oh, the poor things turned into summoning gems!" Fairy Godmother wailed plaintively. The two turned to her.

"A summoning gem?"

"Yes, see when a world falls to darkness, their inhabitants vanish, but some of them are flung to worlds like this one. And in this case, this person's heart is so full of innocence that it turned into a summon gem, this other one survived because of it's strong heart."

"There's someone inside this thing? Can you free them?" Koga asked. Fairy Godmother nodded and pulled out her wand.

"I'll try. Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!" Sparkles came from the wand and enveloped the gems.

Koga and Sora heard a voice from the gems, "Simba Bambi" before the sparkles vanished.

"... Oh, the spell should have freed them but they aren't responding to my spell. Perhaps they will listen to you."

Koga blinked. "Me?"

"Yes, as the Keybearer you might be able to find a way to free them. And if you do find any more of them I beg you to free them."

"Well... I'll try." Koga nodded. He put the gems back into his pocket.

"Good, now I will enchant your Keyblade to be able to free them with it." She tapped his Keyblade with her want and it sparkled at the tip of it.

"Thanks, now I think it's time for us to get going."

"Remember that you can come anytime to train in magic."

"We will, bye!" They waved as they left.

"Well that was something. Can't wait to tell Donald and Goofy." Sora said walking towards the exit of the cave.

"Hold on Sora." He grabbed his brother's wrist to stop him. He looked at him with a serious expression. "What was that earlier, with Kairi?"

Sora grimaced. "I don't know, maybe it was just a hallucination."

"Us sharing the same hallucination? I doubt it."

"Look, I don't know what it was but I know you'll figure it out in time."

"Really?" Koga said flattered.

"Yeah, you always were the inqui- um... incuis..."

"Inquisitive." Koga finished for him.

"Yeah, now let's get going before Donald and Goofy freak out." They continued in silence but Koga was still thinking about that Kairi encounter, they had a similar one back in Deep Jungle but he forgot to mention it.

"Kairi... where are you..."
