Winnie woke up to find herself staring at the sky. The sky looked odd. She felt odd too. She rubbed her head with one of her arms but then she realised her shirt was gone. And stranger, she was covered in soft fluffy black and orange striped stuff. She didn't have any stitches like a stuffed animal usually did. She leapt up in shock. She realised she was in a wood. Not the Hundred Acre Wood. Everything looked strange and it made her feel strange, too. She saw a nearby lake. She ran over to it and looked into it. She looked really weird. She had a large body and huge feet with rectangular sticking-up ears and what was strangest of all was her tail. It dragged along behind her like a rope. She ran back to the spot where she woke up. Roo had the same large body, big feet and rectangular ears but his tail was long and pointy and it curved upwards. She shook her brother until she heard him groan. He slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Winnie and he jumped back in shock. Then he looked at himself. His shirt had gone and in its place was light brown fluffy stuff. "What's happened to us?" Winnie panicked.

"I have no idea. But I want to find out," Roo replied. He got up on his large feet and started hopping through the trees, with Winnie bouncing on her springy tail behind him.

"I'm really scared. I want mum and dad," Winnie sniffled. Roo hugged his sister tightly.

"Don't worry. I'll stay with you until the end," He promised. He picked Winnie up and hopped on.

"Did you see anything strange when I opened the door to that old house?"

"It felt like evil had taken over the whole place. I felt like other creatures were surrounding us," Roo answered, shivering.

"I felt exactly the same when it happened," Winnie gasped. "Hey, I've just thought of something. If we fell down the crack and ended up here, then couldn't those evil things get down here, too?" She added. Roo gulped. He hadn't thought of that. He didn't want to scare Winnie, so he said something else.

"I don't think we should have anything to worry about," He said, unsure.

"Then, what is that?" Winnie gapsed. She pointed in front of them. They saw what looked like a giant mosquito. It flew towards then aiming it stinger. Roo dived out of the way. Winnie and Roo ran in opposite directions. The giant mosquito turned around and headed towards Roo. He tried to hop away but he tripped over a root and twisted his ankle. He cried out in pain. The mosquito was barely inches away from him but suddenly, something slammed into its side and pushed it out of the way. It crashed into a tree and stopped breathing. Winnie was the one that pushed the mosquito away. She ran over to Roo and hugged him tightly. "What was that thing?" Winnie panted.

"I have no idea. I've never seen anything like it before," Roo winced in pain when he moved his foot.

"You should just keep still, Roo," Winnie comforted her brother. Then something struck her brain that scared her stiff. "Roo, do you think that thing came through that crack that we fell down?"

"I'm not sure, Winnie. But for all we know it could have," Roo admitted. It wasn't long past dawn and Winnie knew that if they stayed here they would be found and who knew what would happen to them. Winnie found a large leaf, went to the lake where she first saw her new self and dipped the leaf in it. She then went back to Roo and started dabbing his injured foot with the leaf. Roo winced in pain for a while, and then eventually calmed down.

"What do we do, now? Winnie asked her brother.

"I guess we should find out why that thing was trying to kill us and how to get back home," Roo replied.

"But, we're stuffed animals. We can't die," Winnie reminded Roo.

"I guess you're right," Roo smiled. For a long time Winnie and Roo stayed where they were. Then Roo tried to get to his feet. He was a little shaky at first but managed to fully get up by clinging onto a tree for support. "Let's try and find a way out of here," Roo told Winnie. As they walked Roo's leg became stronger and they moved quicker. They walked for what seemed like hours even though it was only for about half of one hour. They stopped for a rest beneath the shade of a tree. Winnie fell asleep after a while and Roo was just about to drift off, too, but he was jolted wide awake by the sound of something pounding. He looked around but he couldn't figure out what the sound was. Winnie must have heard the noise, too, because she swiftly jumped up and looked around rapidly. The pounding was getting louder and louder and seemed like it was getting closer. The stuffed animals jumped with fright as an ear-piercing howl thundered through the forest. That howl was followed by several others and soon after the siblings discovered what was making the noise. What seemed like hundreds of big dog-like creatures shot through the trees. Roo remembered his mother, Kanga, telling him about creatures like this. She called them wolves. She also told him that they were grey. These were black with bright red eyes like lasers. They seemed to spread right across the forest and they didn't look friendly at all. Winnie and Roo looked at eachother and then back at the wolves. Then they did the first thing that popped into their brains. "RUN!" yelled Roo. He picked Winnie up and hopped through the woods. The wolves were much faster than them though Roo looked up and saw a low tree branch. He tossed Winnie up and she landed on the branch. Roo jumped up as high as he could and hung onto the branch. He dangled there for a long time but the wolves kept coming. They ran underneath the branch where the siblings were hanging. Roo knew that if he let go of the branch he would be trampled. He knew that since he was a stuffed animal he couldn't die but he didn't want to take any chances so he hung on, still. He then he experienced something he'd never felt before. His arms were slowly getting weaker and they started to hurt. Then, even stranger, small wet drops of water started leaking out of his eyes as the pain grew. Roo was scared. What was happening to him? His eyes had never leaked before. He was scared that they had holes in them, but he had more things to worry about. The wolves kept coming and, worse, the branch started to break. Winnie jumped up to a higher branch, reaching her arm down for Roo. Roo reached up as high as he could. But with the branch bending lower and lower as it slowly cracked. Roo gathered up the last of his strength and leaped upwards, just as the branch collapsed. He knew that he had to get to the branch or he'd be trampled. Winnie grabbed hold of her brothers hand and pulled him up, using all her might. Roo managed to scramble up onto the branch. The siblings stared down at the stampede of wolves. After a few minutes the last wolf finally past them and they were able to climb down from the tree. Winnie panted and hugged Roo tightly.

"What were they?" She asked.

"Mom told me about those creatures. They're called wolves and they didn't look friendly," Roo replied.

"Then why didn't they attack us when they had the chance?"

"I was wondering the same thing but so many strange things have happened today, that didn't seem strange at all."

"What now?" Winnie questioned.

"I guess we should get out of these woods before anything else happens. And Winnie, I agree with you. Those things must have come through that crack," Roo added. They practically ran through the woods. After a while they saw light and they felt sure that they had made it to the other side of the woods. Then Winnie suddenly collapsed. Roo skidded to a halt and ran to her side. "What's wrong?" He asked.

"My tummy's rumbling," Winnie whimpered. Roo had almost forgotten that they had to feed themselves. Roo looked around for something edible. He then realised that all the trees in the woods had apples on them. He bounced up and grabbed two of them. He gave one to Winnie and took a big bite out of the other one. He had never known food to taste so good. Once they'd finishes eating they carried on towards the end of the woods. They looked out at what was on the other side of the woods. There was a long grey thing like a path, but there were large metal things running along either side. But on either side of the big path there were slightly smaller paths with people walking along them. Christopher Robin was a person and he liked them so he didn't see why these other people wouldn't.

"Hello. Can anyone help us?" Roo asked a passer-by woman. The woman just started at Roo. She looked scared. "What's wrong?" Roo asked her. The woman then screamed loudly. Everyone along the road looked in their direction and some other people screamed. One man pulled out a small metal gadget and pushed a few buttons. He put it to his ear.

"Is this animal control? There's a Kangaroo and some weird stripy thing on the street. They probably escaped from New York Zoo. Can you get here as soon as you can?"

"Back to the woods, back to the woods!" Roo panicked. He and Winnie ran into the woods again. Suddenly a large dark grey thing emerged from the trees. It had glowing red eyes with no pupils. Roo recognised the animal right away. It was a bear!

"Back to the path, back to the path!" Winnie shrieked. But then, the bear jumped in front of them and roared right in their faces. In reared up onto it hind legs and looked like it was about to attack them when suddenly another roar echoed in the air. The bear looked for whatever made the roar when it shoved him over. The thing was another bear, it was black. Roo was scared it was another one of those evil bears. But when it turned around they could see its eyes were amber and friendly looking.

"Run!" It yelled at them. Roo picked Winnie up and hid in a bush. Roo looked out. The two bears fought eachother until the bear that had helped them scratched the evil bear across its eye and it ran off. The good bear walked over to the bush where Roo and Winnie was hiding and beckoned for them to come out. "It's okay. You're safe, now. Winnie and Roo got out of the bush.

"Thank you," Roo stammered.

"Have I seen you before?" The bear asked.

"I don't think so. I'm Roo and this is my half-sister, Winnie. The bear gasped.

"Roo?" he asked. Roo nodded nervously. "And that's you sister?" he added.

"Yeah. We just covered that. Who are you?" Roo asked.

"You should already know," The bear said.

"Sorry, no," said Roo.

"Are you sure. Think a few years back. There was a tragic accident and I disappeared. Roo thought back and then it hit him. He was speechless. He could only manage a few words.

"Winnie the Pooh?"

"It's good to see you, Roo."
