After last chapter it's best to just read a self indulgent chapter.

Chapter XXIX- 100 Acre Woods (Part 2)

After the group landed in Traverse Town Donald and Goofy went to check on Cid for repairs to the ship, due whale related damage. Koga and Sora took Geppetto and Pinocchio to Leon to get a place to stay, as well as Dumbo. Jiminy stayed with them to catch up with them. While everyone was busy the twins decided to head to Merlin's to add the pages to the book and check on Pooh.

"You know we could always do this some other time bro. You don't have to push yourself." Sora said, he was still worried about his brother after last night's talk.

Koga turned to him and gave him a big grin. "Don't sweat it, Pooh needs to find his friends anyway so let's not keep him waiting."

When he and Koga entered Pooh's book they ended up near a large tree with beehives all over it.

"That's a lot of bees." Koga said to himself.

"This must be the Hunny tree Pooh mentioned." Sora said. "Pooh must be around here."

As they approached it they approached the tree they heard a tiny timid voice.

"Hello? Anyone there?" The two looked and saw something walk out of a hollow log. It was a tiny pink piglet, barely taller than Sora's ankle. He shuffled in place worriedly. "Wh-what am I to do? I'm all alone." He looked around with a hopeful face. "Pooh, Pooh? Where are you? It's me Piglet."

Piglet noticed a shadow fell over him and saw Sora smiling down at him.

"O-o-oh dear!" Piglet shouted startled. He was about to run to the Hunny tree when he saw that Koga was blocking the way.

"Hey, relax. We aren't gonna hurt you." Koga said. "I'm Koga."

"And I'm Sora, we are friends of Pooh."

Piglet's eyes grew wide. "You know Pooh?" The two nodded and he relaxed. "I-I was looking for Pooh, I was supposed to give him something b-but I got lost and I-"

Suddenly they heard humming from the distance. All three of them turned and saw Winnie-the-Pooh happily skipping into the area. His face lit up when he saw the tree and sniffed the air.

"Oh, I believe I smell a delicious something. A something like honey!"

"Pooh!" Piglet said running towards the bear as fast as his little legs could take him.

"Hello Piglet, how have you been?" Pooh said. "And it seems you met my new friends, Sora and Koga."

Piglet eagerly nodded. "Oh I'm so glad to see you" Piglet said relived. "I thought you'd gone away. I got what you asked for." He went back to the log and pulled out a balloon.

"Thank you Piglet, now I can finally have some honey."

Piglet tilted his head. "Really? B-But how?"

"I shall hold on to the balloon, and fly like a bee up the honey tree, see."

"But if you take their honey, won't the bees be angry?"

Pooh frowned slightly and tilted this head to one side. He then noticed the twins and waved happily at them. "Oh! Sora, Koga, might I ask a favor of you?"

The two blinked in confusion and approached them.

"Piglet." Pooh said. "These are my new friends, Koga and Sora."

"Hey." Sora nodded.

"Hi there!" Koga said.

"O-Oh, it's very nice to meet you two." Piglet said nervously.

"Likewise, so Pooh, what do you need of us?" Koga asked.

"I need you to chase away those bees so I can get a morsel of delicious honey. Will you help me?"

"Yeah we will." Koga said patting his brother's back. "Alright Sora, I'll climb the tree and keep the bees away from Pooh while you stay on guard in case he falls down."

"You sure, remember what happened last year when you hit a beehive with a rock?" Sora said.

Koga shuddered at the memory. "It alright, besides I got a ace up my sleeve if I get overwhelmed." He gave a thumbs up.

Sora nodded and grabbed the balloon with Pooh still holding on. He was surprisingly light as he was lifted up with no problem. Koga climbed up the first branch. "Alright Pooh, ready?"

"Yes I am Sora."

"Alright, one... two... three!" He tossed the balloon and the bear lightly upwards. The two started floating up into the air. Koga slowly followed Pooh as he went up. Pooh reach the top and he reached into the hole in the tree trunk. Koga peeked inside and saw that the inner walls were lined with honeycombs and filled with bucketloads of honey. Pooh scooped up a handful and started eating it.

Koga then noticed the bees coming out of their hives. They didn't look happy that someone was taking their honey. Before they could do anything, Koga shot at one to catch their attention. He stuck his tongue out at them. They angrily flew at him, sensing the danger Koga put his Keyblade out.

"Wind!" He said, the spell covering him in a barrier made of wind. The bees were pushed back before they could sting him. Koga grinned at them. "Yeah, good luck trying to get through this defense." He then heard buzzing from behind. He looked and saw more bees were coming out of their hives and swarming him to the point he can't see anything. He then started to feel a prickling sensation, like bee stings. His Areoga spell is supposed to nullify a certain amount of damage, but with all these bees constantly trying to sting him...

"Um Pooh, I think it's time to wrap this up... Pooh?" He said not getting an answer. "Pooh really, these bees are- ow, starting to sting me. OW! POOH PLEASE SAY SOMETHING! OH GOD THEY ARE ALL OVER ME!"

But Pooh couldn't hear his friends calling out through the loud buzzing of the bees. He blissfully ate away at the honey.

"It is rather funny, what I will do for honey."

"Thank you for all your help." Pooh said licking the leftover honey on his hands. "All that shouting distracted the bees while I got the honey. I'm sorry you got stung."

"...It's okay." Koga said following the others slowly behind. His arms were covered in bee stings that he was struggling to not scratch. "Hope the honey was worth it."

"It was most delicious." Pooh said rubbing his tummy. "But how I wish there were more honey for me."

"Look." Piglet pointed forward. They looked and saw a large tree with a house built into it like Pooh's. It had a rabbit hole on the side of the house. The front yard was a garden of assorted vegetables surrounded by a white picket fence and a river that runs through it, there was a small wooden bridge to get across. "It's Rabbit's house, it came back!"

"Well let's see if he's home, he must have some honey." They bent down and peered curiously into the rabbit hole and Pooh spoke into it. "Hello? Is anybody at home?"

"No, Nobody is home!" came a voice from the hole.

"Bother, there's only a Nobody in Rabbit's home." Pooh said disappointed.

"But there's no such thing as Nobodies." Koga said. While they were talking Sora took a look around he decided to sneak in through the front door. Entering it he entered a small furnished room built under the roots of the tree. At the end of the room he saw a yellow rabbit speaking into a large hole.

"Nobody, have you seen Rabbit?" Pooh's voice asked through the hole.

"No!" Said the rabbit agitated. "No Rabbit here! There is no one here!"

Suddenly Pooh emerged from the hole with a happy face. "Hello Rabbit."

"W-Why Pooh, what a pleasant surprise." Rabbit said. Piglet and Koga came through the entrance Sora took. Rabbit noticed them. "Hello Piglet, and who are you two?"

"I'm Sora, and this is my brother Koga."

"Pleasure to see you." Koga said.

"Why it's nice to meet you Sora and Koga." Rabbit looked at Pooh who was rummaging through his stuff. "Pooh, I'm sorry but I'm all out of honey."

"Oh bother. That's too bad." Sighed Pooh. He looked around. "Are you sure?"

"Quite sure."

"There's honey up there." Sora pointed to a pot of honey tucked between the roots above them. He pulled it out and handed it to Pooh.

"H-honey? Now how did it get up there?" Rabbit said eyes wide. He gave a stress filled chuckle. "Would you like some Pooh?"

"Why thank you Rabbit." Pooh said as he feasted on the Honey taking large scoops into his mouth.

"Is he really gonna eat the whole thing?" Koga asked.

"Once he starts there's no stopping him." Rabbit sighed. "And I'm out of honey again."

"He really likes his honey." Piglet laughed softly.

Pooh finally stuck his snout into the pot to eat the last remnants of the golden honey. He gave a content sigh as he put the pot on the table.

"Thank you Rabbit, that was most delectable." Pooh said shaking Rabbit with his sticky hands. Rabbit grimaced but kept on smiling kindly.

"Well goodbye!" Rabbit said politely. "If you are sure you are done eating."

"Is there anymore honey?"

"No there isn't."

Winnie-the-Pooh nodded to himself. "I thought not. Well goodbye Rabbit." He started to climb out through the hole. Halfway through he found himself stuck in the hole. He grunted uncomfortably as he tried to push himself through. But his now engorged belly made it impossible.

"Oh help and bother!"

Piglet wrung his paw worried at his friend. "P-pooh, are you...?"

"I'm stuck." He admitted.

Rabbit pulled on his ears in stress. "Oh not again!"

Koga and Sora ran out front to see Pooh's head and arms sticking out of the hole. Koga had to stifle a laugh as he approached him.

"Maybe you shouldn't have eaten so much honey." Sora sighed.

"Oh how will I eat honey if I'm stuck here?" Pooh sighed. "Perhaps you could bring me a honey jar when it's lunch time."

"No honey till you're unstuck!" Rabbit scolded running out of the house to inspect the situation. "If you don't slim down, my house will stay plugged up forever. Wait, I got an idea! A bit of carrot top juice will do the trick to slimming down Pooh! I have a carrot patch on the other side of the stream."

"Great idea!" Koga said.

Rabbit smiled and turned to his vegetable garden. "Well, then, I'll just... oh no!" His face turned to horror as he saw a figure rapidly approaching from the distance.

An orange striped tiger was bouncing by it's tail like a pogo stick. He was laughing to himself as he happily sang a song.

"The wonderful thing about Tiggers,

Is Tiggers are wonderful things.

Their tops are made out of rubber,

Their bottoms are made out of springs,

Their bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,

Fun fun fun fun FUN!

But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is

That I'm the only one!

I'm the only one!"

He was hopping without a care as he hopped over the garden, trampling some vegetables, and pounced right into Sora. The two of them rolled across the ground until Sora was on his back and Tigger was grinning into his face.

"Hey there!" He said gesturing to himself proudly. "Name's Tigger! T-I-double-guh-RR. That spells Tigger!" Tigger looked up and down Sora. "Well now! I don't think I've ever seen you before! And who's the other kid?"

"Hello Tigger." Said Pooh from his position. "You've bounced my new friend Sora, and this is his brother Koga." He said gesturing to the human teen by his side.

Tigger grinned at Pooh. "Hey Pooh! Say you're lookin' mighty uncomfy today." He said excitedly jumping off of Sora. He took a gasp of air. "Is this some new exercise? Why not bounce? It's much more fun!"

"Why do you bounce around so much Tigger?" Koga asked watching his brother getting back on his feet.

"Why?" Tigger gasped like he said something offensive. "Cause bouncin' is what Tiggers do best! Speaking of which, my bouncin spot has gone and disappeared!" He looked over the field. "So for now, this'll be my new bouncin' ground. Hoo hoo hoo hoo!"

Rabbit glared at the tiger. "Tigger, if you so much as bounce on my garden I'll..."

"Aw, loosen up, long ears!" Tigger laughed nudging Rabbit in the ribs. Ignoring his protests, he jumped into the garden and began hopping around.

"But wait, my vegetables!" Rabbit shouted, about ready to pass out. "Someone stop him before he destroys all my vegetables!"

"Come on!" Sora said, he and Koga ran towards the garden, doing a cool jump over the fence.

"O-oh dear, I can't watch!" Piglet said covering his eyes. Sora got to Tigger mid jump and used his body to block the vegetables from being stomped on. He grunted when Tigger bounced off his shoulder but the carrots were safe. But Tigger used the momentum to hop to another patch of veggies. Luckily Koga copied his brother and kept the bouncy tiger from jumping on it. But again Tigger went to another part of the garden. Soon it became a game of back and forth between the two brothers.

Eventually Tigger stopped bouncing and looked at the two exhausted teens with an incredulous look across his face.

"Say, you're both pretty good at keeping up with Tigger! Let's say we have another go?"

"Wait Tigger!" Sora said putting his hands up. "If you stop bouncing on this spot we will find your bouncing ground."

Tigger stared at them in amazement. "Really? You'd do that for me?"

Koga nodded, trying to catch his breath. "Yeah, but until we find it, leave Rabbit's garden alone. Okay?"

"Okay then it's a deal!" Tigger said, shaking Koga and Sora's hands excitedly. "Well, time to find another temporary bouncin spot! Ta ta For now!" He bounced away, singing his song about Tiggers.

"You know, despite the crazy workout, I find him fun to play with." Koga said wiping the sweat off his brow.

Rabbit gave a sigh of relief as he hopped in and and started picking the carrots.

"Thank you so much." He said to the teens. "Now I will go make the carrot top juice and give it to Pooh. Please wait in the house."

The two nodded in agreement. They and Piglet went back towards Rabbit's house to wait. After awhile Rabbit came into the house with a triumphant smile.

"I gave Pooh the carrot top juice."

"Great, now what?" Sora asked.

"Now all we have to do is push him out."

"Leave it to me!" Koga said with a excited grin. He backed up from Pooh's protruding rear and ran straight across the room. He rammed right into Pooh's behind with extreme force. Pooh popped out the other side and flew into the air, straight into a pile of potted plants. There was the sound of a large crash.

"Oops. Might've done it too hard." Koga said with a frown.

"Oh no, what happened."

All of them looked through the hole and saw Pooh among the pile of broken pots with his head stuck in a hidden pot of honey. Sora, Koga, and Piglet couldn't hide their amusement while Rabbit had a exasperated.

"Oh bother." He groaned from inside the jar. "Where am I? It's ever so dark in here." He gave a surprised sound. "Well, it isn't so bad I suppose. There is plenty of honey!" He said eating it from the inside.

See you guys next time,

HAVE FUN!
