Inside Merlin's house everyone with busy. Not because there was loads of work to do and missions to complete but because it was the day schedules specifically for cleaning and everyone was diligently working on that task. . Merlin had originally offered to have the cleaning materials come to life and do it by themselves but Cid refused him

Yuffie however deciding it was too boring skipped out and went to go do "ninja stuff". Aerith went into town to purchase more cleaning supplies. Now that Merlin, Arthur and Archimedes had returned they were more than willing to get back into the swing of things. Tifa who had since formed a relationship with Leon came over and helped out and Eddie Valiant who remained in Radiant Garden for some work even helped them out, since he was still staying with them he decided it only make sens to help out. The loan shark Sykes had been dealt with by the Restoration Committee and was currently in the city jail, and all the money he accumulated and the things Leon sold were quickly returned to everyone who had dealing with him.

Eddie took some books off of the counter blew onto it and then wiped it with his hand before placing them back. Arthur walked around with a feather duster getting the counter tops while Cid swept the floor. The areas he had already swept were mopped up by Leon and Tifa.

"Water" Tifa said as she called Leon over and he silently obliged. She then slammed the mop down into the water causing some of it to splash up on his pants. He looked to her with an annoyed look as she giggled.

"This waters dirty" he said

"This whole place is dirty" he waved her arms around to the showcase the room "That's the point of today" Leon looked unconvinced so she leaned up and kissed him on the cheek.

"Hmph, mush" Cid shrugged. He then leaned down to Arthur and nudged him with his elbow "Lovers quarrel eh kid?" Arthur looked curiously at him but nodded anyway before continuing to dust the counters.

"Does it usually take this long to clean?" he asked

"If you're so enthusiastic" Eddie called from across the room "You can come to my office back at home, that'll give ya plenty to do" he grinned.

"Just whistle while you work" Tifa called out to everyone

Chuckling Arthur returned to dusting the counter but stopped one he noticed a book on the counter, one he had not seen before. He picked it up and looked it over.

Noticing he stopped working Cid looked over to him "Whatcha got there bud?" he asked

"It's a book" Arthur told "Only… I haven't seen it before"

"Well what is?"

"It's says Hundred Acre Wood on it" he heard s chuckle from Cid and turned around to see everyone whad stopped working and was smiling "What is it?" he asked

"Pooh bear" Tifa said happily

"Who?"

"You don't know who that is?" Merlin asked Arthur shook his head

"Jeez kid I haven't been here as long as you and I know all about the Hundred Acre Wood" Eddie said

"I don't understand" Arthur said confused

"Ah well then, allow me to explain" Merlin said as he walked towards his pupil. "The Hundred Acre Wood is a small peaceful little world with its inhabitants blissfully unaware of the dangerous outside. They're remarkably cheerfully and light hearted and surely to become great friends with anyone they come across" he explained as Archimedes landed on his shoulder.

"Well that sounds about right. Surprised you could convey information so well" he joked at the wizard's expense.

"Can I meet them?" Arthur asked as he looked at the book.

"Well I don't see why not, I'm sure you will eventually" Merlin said

"Why not now?" Cid let out as he walked over to them. "Just take the book" he said as he took it from Arthurs hands "Open it up" he opened it before him "And presto your" Suddenly in s blinding flash Arthur disappeared from sight. "…there?" Cid let out confused.

They all looked around in confusion "Well where is he?" Merlin asked

"Where did he go?" Cid let out.

"Well don't just stand there look at the book!" Archimedes instructed. Cid and Merlin looked into the book and in one of the pages saw Arthur

"There he is" Merlin pointed

"So how do we get him out?" Cid asked

"We don't. He'll have to find his way out on his own" Merlin then patted himself down "Ah but no need to worry, he's a bright young lad, and he'll be fine"

"Nut what if he doesn't get out?" Archimedes asked

Merlin shot his head up and was wide eyed at first, but then his eyes were filled with a blinding madness.

"OH oh you you …." He starred at Cid "ingrate!" he shouted at Cid

"What- me!?"

"Yes you fiend! He may never get out of there because of you!" he fumed as he swung his cane at him

"I'll look for a spell" Tifa shouted out as he reached for a book "There's got to be one here to get him out" she was soon joined by Eddie and they furiously flipped through the pages together. "Leon come help us!" she called to him but her boyfriend only put Pooh's book back on the counter and leaned against the wall next to it.

Meanwhile inside the book Arthur was on the ground groaning. Picking himself up he rubbed the dirt off his clothes but his attention was soon drawn to a voice that spoke to him.

"Well hello there" a soft voice spoke. Arthur turned to see a small yellow bear with a red shirt walk up to him "That was quite a fall." He said as he stopped before him "You must have climbed up a very tall tree. I was wondering perhaps as it a hunny tree?" he chuckled

"Well uh I.. I don't know"

"It seems you may need to think about something. Well when I need to think I go to my thinking spot" the small bear told him. "And I was just thinking before you came"

"Well what were you thinking about?"

"I don't know, your falling made me forget"

"OH well I'm Arthur but everyone just aclls me Wart" he said introducing himself

"Well I am Pooh bear or Pooh for short"

"Pooh bear? So this is the hundred acre wood!" Arthur concluded

"Yes.. oh!" Pooh let out "Now I remember we were all on our way to the hunny tree, to try and get some hunny from the bees. Would you like to join me and my friends?"

"Sure" Arthur said as he walked followed Pooh.

He followed Pooh bear up to a very large tree and they stopped before it.

"Well here it is" Pooh said looking up "Now we must wait foreveryone else"

"Who's everyone el-" Arthur was suddenly shoved to the ground and when he looked up he saw someone looking down at him.

"Hello I'm Tigger, T-I-double-guh-ER! That spells Tigger"

"I'm.. Arthur" he introduced himself from below Tigger

"OH please ta meet ya pal" Tigger said getting off and shaking his hand "Hope I didn't bounce ya too hard now. Butcha know it's what Tiggers do best"

"Arthur is good a bouncing too Tigger" Pooh said to his energetic friend "I can tell because he fell from a very tall tree. I don't know how else you could get up there other than bouncing"

"So you're a bouncer too eh? Hey, you ain't a Tigger are you?" Tigger said as he looked him over

"I don't think so" Arthur shook his head.

Then from all around them came more small creatures that inhabited the Hundred Acre Woods. Owl came from the sky, Gopher from the ground; Eeyore slumped up as Piglet crept while Kang and Roo bounced up and Rabbit walked peacefully. After rallying together they looked up at the tall tree.

"So what's up there?" Arthur asked

"Hunny" Pooh smacked his lips

"How are we going t-t-to get up there P-P-Pooh?"

"I do not know Piglet" Pooh said to his small friend

"We could always bounce up" Tigger proposed.

"We could float up if you have a balloon" Arthur proposed as every pair of beady little eyes were soon on him.

"That's a good idea Arthur" Pooh said

"Quite a philosopher" Owl stated "And Ibelieve I do have a balloon back at my home, allow me a moment to go and get it and then I'll tell you of how I came upon it" he chuckled before flying off.

Owl flew off and soon returned with the balloon. Arthur tied it to Pooh's wrist and after letting him go he floated off into the air holding onto the hunny pot.

Floating up to the top of the tree Pooh stopped in front of the whole in the tree and began filling his hunny pot with hunny. Then he floated back down to his friends and began sharing the hunny with each of them.

"Here Arthur try some, just a few smackerals" Pooh said offering him the hunny. Dipping his hand into the pot he then licked the hunny off his fingers.

"It's very sweet" he smiled "Thank you"

"Your welcome and thank you for helping me get it"

"Cen we do stuff like this all the time?"

"Of course" Pooh nodded

"Oh boy that'd be swell" Arthur said.

Arthur suddenly found himself plunged into the air soaring high above his new friends in the hundred acre wood and the letters in the sky. Then he felt like he was becoming bigger again and before he knew it he stood in Merlin's house before everyone else who seemed rather hectic.

Merlin fiercely beat Cid with his cane while rambling on about "How'd you let this happen?! What did you do!? This is all your fault!"

Eddie and Tifa were scrambling through books as if to find the answer to a long desired question but from the looks on their faces it was a hopeless search.

Leon however casually stood by the book case and was the first to notice Arthur. Upon doing so he smirked and rallied everyone else's attention "Hey, look who's back" he said as the commotion suddenly stopped and everyone looked to Arthur.

"Oh, well…uh…" Merlin stuttered as Cid returned to standing "Where have you been boy?" he asked as Eddie and Tifa put down the books and walked over to them; Tifa leaning against Leon as they held each other's hands.

"I was in the Hundred Acre Wood" Arthur told him "and I met everyone who lives there. There's Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit and-"

"Eeyore, Gopher, Owl, Kanga and Roo?" Merlin finished as Arthur nodded

Arthur then looked around the room recalling the commotion he first witnessed upon returning "Did I miss anything?"

Everyone looked around with shifty eyes "Not at all" they all responded.
