100 Acre Wood Saga
Side Story Chapter 3
Unbouncing Tigger
One day, on this fine sunny day, Winnie the Pooh who is a bear of a very Little Brain returned and sat down in his thoughtful Spot on a log with Ami, Ash, Usagi, Hotaru, the Pikachus, Raichu, Pichu, Togepi, Rei, May, Makoto, Chibiusa and Minako following after the hero party, and is excited for the Pallet Town Party held up in a couple of days, and Pooh tried very hard to think of something.
"Think, think, think, think, think,"
Pooh mumbled to himself. But nothing came to mind.
"Think, think, think," Pooh tried again, putting one paw to his head as if to catch any stray thoughts that might come wandering along.
And while he is thinking all of this sudden, Tigger came by and knocked Pooh off of his feet and is laying on the ground while Tigger stands on Pooh's tummy catching everyone off guard.
"Hello, Pooh, Hello everyone! Grrrr." Tigger Greeted "I'm Tigger! T-i-double guh-er! That spells Tigger!"
"Oh Hi, Tigger!" Usagi, Hotaru, Chibisua and Minako greeted
"Hello, Tigger." Ami greeted
"Hey, Tigger." Ash, Makoto, Rej and May greeted
"Pi! Pikachu."
"Rai, Raichu."
"Pichu."
"Oh, Hello, Tigger, You've bounced me before." Pooh said
"I did?" Tigger asked putting his face closer to Pooh's face then he remembered "I "recoggonize" you. You're the one that's stuffed with fluff. And you are the ones who just came to the Hundred Acre Woodses not too long ago."
"You know, if there was a portal back home, we can use it to visit anytime we like." Hotaru said
"Yeah. And you're sitting on it." Pooh said
"Yeah, and it's comfy, too! Hoo-hoo-hoo!" Tigger laughed as he got off of Pooh and shook his hand while helping him up and Shook Makoto's and Rei's hands "I got a lot of bouncing to do! Hoo-hoo-hoo! T-T-F-N! Ta ta for now!"
"Goodbye, Tigger!" Pooh, Ami, Ash, Rei, Usagi, Hotaru, Chibiusa, Makoto, May and Minako waved
Well, there goes Tigger off into the Hundred Acre Wood, always bouncing in on his friends when they least expect him, the next person he wanted to visit is now Piglet, the striped feline is getting rather very bouncy all over, that he wanted to share his bounces with everyone in the Hundred Acre Wood.
At Pooh and Piglet's house which Piglet lives there now until Owl's house gets fixed and his tree grows back, Piglet is sweeping the front yard to make sure there is no dust in the front yard, when Suddenly, a very bouncy Tigger came up from behind and knocked Piglet off of his feet and is laying on the ground while Tigger stands on his chest with a growl, scaring Piglet senseless, but a playful kind of scare.
"Hello, Piglet! I'm Tigger!" Tigger greeted
"Oh, Tigger! You sc-c-c-cared me!" Piglet gasped
"Oh, shucks!" Tigger laughed "That was just one of my little bounces!"
"It was?" Piglet asked "Oh. Thank you, Tigger."
"Yeah, I'm saving my best bounce for Ole Long Ears!" Tigger said as he is pulling his ears to reference Rabbit then dashing away "Ta-ta!" Then he sets off to Rabbit's House to give him a very good bounce
At Rabbit's House, Rabbit was at his garden harvesting his vegetables, starting with his carrots while he is humming a sweet song, he pulled three at a time and they are ripe, feeling very proud of himself of having a wonderfully garden with a scarecrow, so that no crows would swoop down and steal Rabbit's vegetables, then he is about to put the Carrots into the wheelbarrow which chuckling.
"There, that should do it." Rabbit smiled then he saw Tigger coming, and he gasped, reacted in fear and tried to stop him "Oh no! Stop! No, Go back!"
But is was too late, Tigger came crashing through Rabbit's garden, sending vegetables flying everywhere, then pouncing on him, thus his garden is a complete mess with Tomatoes smashed, Carrots everywhere, pumpkins ruined, his corn is cracked, then Tigger obliviously greeted the irritated Rabbit for unknowingly ruining his garden.
"Hello, Rabbit! I'm Tigger!" He greeted "T-I double guh…"
"Please! Please! Don't spell it!" Rabbit cut him off and sat up and shoved Tigger away "Oh dear, oh dear, just - just look at my beautiful garden."
"Yyyyyuck!" Tigger groaned upon the pumpkin on his foot "messy, isn't it?"
"Messy? Messy?! It's ruined! It's ruined, Tigger!" Rabbit screamed "Aw, why won't you ever stop bouncing?!
"Why?" Tigger said "That's what Tiggers do best! Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!"
Tigger is about to sing his signature song through dancing to amuse Rabbit, who is annoyed by this, the Song goes like this:
The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is Tiggers are wonderful things
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy, fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is
I'm the only one
IIIII'm the only one!
After his song, Tigger bounced away, leaving Rabbit fed up with Tigger's constant bouncing which gets on his nerves after he ruined his beautiful garden, he decides storm off to inform Pooh, Piglet, Ami, Ash, Usagi, Hotaru, Chibiusa, Rei, Makoto, May and Minako to figure out a logical way to get Tigger to bounce less, with a sign that will read 'Meeting Today' making like a court and Trial.
Now one day, Ami, Ash, Pikachu, Raichu, Pichu, Usagi, Chibiusa, Hotaru, Rei, May, Makoto, May, Rabbit and Piglet were sitting inside Rabbit's house listening to Rabbit, and Pooh was sitting with them. It was a drowsy summer afternoon, and the Forest was full of gentle sounds, which all seemed to be saying to Pooh, "Don't listen to Rabbit, listen to me." So he got into a comfortable position in a soft chair and not listening to Rabbit, and from time to time he opened his eyes to say "Ah!" and then closed them again to say "True," and from time to time Rabbit said, "You see what I mean, Piglet" very earnestly, and Piglet nodded earnestly to show that he did.
Then he orders everyone in the meeting "Order! Order, please!" Rabbit said "Now I say Tigger's getting so bouncy nowadays, that it's time we taught him a lesson. No matter how much we like him, you can't deny he just bounces too much."
"Rabbit, You really can't deny that it is what Tiggers do best." Usagi said
"One time me and Usagi were bouncing and suddenly we went into a thorn bush and me and Usagi were covered in thorns." Minako mentioned
"Rabbit, shouldn't we tell Tigger to watch where he is bouncing?" Ami suggested gently "If so then things will be better right?"
"Ami, I don't think that will work!" Rabbit shouted being more bossy then ever "Hey, Perhaps if we could think of a way of un-bouncing Tigger, it would be a very good idea. What do you think Pooh?"
But Pooh wasn't listening, he and Makoto were dozing off, and which the others were staring at the two, Rabbit looks on annoyed at this as he wanted Tigger to Stop bouncing. Piglet gave Pooh a stiffening sort of nudge, and Pooh, who felt more and more that he was somewhere else, got up slowly and began to look for himself.
Pooh opened his eyes with a jerk and said, "Extremely."
"Extremely what?" asked Rabbit.
"What you were saying," said Makoto "Undoubtably."
"But how shall we do it?" asked Rei. "What sort of a lesson, Rabbit?"
"That's the point," said Rabbit.
The word "lesson" came back to Pooh as one he had heard before somewhere.
"There's a thing called Twy-stymes," he said. "Christopher Robin tried to teach it to me once, but it didn't."
"What didn't?" said Rabbit.
"Didn't what?" said Chibiusa
Pooh shook his head. "I don't know," he said. "It just didn't. What are we talking about?"
"Pooh," said Piglet reproachfully, "haven't you been listening to what Rabbit was saying?"
"I listened, but I had a small piece of fluff in my ear. Could you say it again, please, Rabbit?"
"Well, where should I start from?" Rabbit asked
"From the moment the fluff got in my ear." Pooh said
"Well, when was that?" Rabbit asked
"I don't know, he couldn't hear properly." Makoto said
"Pooh, we were just trying to think of a way to get the bounce out of Tigger." Piglet reminded
"Oh, I see," said Makoto.
"There's too much of him," said Rabbit, "that's what it comes to."
Pooh tried to think, and all he could think of was something which didn't help at all. So he hummed it very quietly to himself.
If Rabbit
Was bigger
And fatter
And stronger,
Or bigger
Than Tigger,
If Tigger was smaller,
Then Tigger's bad habit
Of bouncing at Rabbit
Would matter
No longer,
If Rabbit Was taller.
"What was Pooh saying?" asked Rabbit. "Any good?"
"No," said Pooh sadly. "No good."
"Oh, I've got a splendid idea!" Said Rabbit "and here it is. We take Tigger for a long explore, somewhere where he's never been, and we lose him there, and next morning we find him again, and-mark my words-he'll be a different Tigger altogether."
"But why?" Minako asked
"Rabbit, I'm not sure if it's…." May tried to speak
"Because he'll be a Humble Tigger. Because he'll be a Sad Tigger, a Melancholy Tigger, a Small and Sorry Tigger, an Oh-Rabbit-I-am-glad-to-see-you Tigger. That's why." Rabbit cut May off "And it'll take the bounce out of him. Now, all in favor say "Aye."
"Rabbit, I know that Tigger's bouncing can get your nerves, but losing someone at a place that he never been before isn't a friendly thing to do." Pooh said
"Yeah, that really mean." Chibiusa agreed
"It's not nice." Usagi shook her head
"But shouldn't we follow mama Ami's advice and…." Hotaru tried to tell Rabbit
"Hotaru, Usagi, Chibiusa, Ami, mark my words, it'll take the bounce out of him." Rabbit cut her off "and besides, Tiggers May sometimes never go on being Sad, They get over it with Astonishing eventually. I asked Owl, just to make sure, and he said that that's what they always get over it with. But if we can make Tigger feel Small and Sad just for five minutes, we shall have done a good deed."
"Ok, Rabbit, you win." Piglet reluctantly agreed "I don't think this is a good idea….."
"Aye." Rei, Makoto, Minako, May, Ash reluctantly agreed
"Ok, Rabbit, I guess there's no stopping you this time." Ami agreed reluctantly "I don't want to do that."
"Me too, but Rabbit convinced us." Pooh agreed and reluctantly said aye
"Aye…." Chibiusa, Hotaru agreed reluctantly
"Good! Motion carried!" Rabbit said as he explained where they should take Tigger "We'll take him to the North Pole, because it was a very long explore finding it, so it will be a very long explore for Tigger un-finding it again."
So it was agreed that they would start the next morning and that Rabbit, who lived near Kanga and Roo should now go home and ask Tigger what he was doing to-morrow, because if he wasn't doing anything, what about coming for an explore and getting Pooh, Piglet, Ami, Ash, Pikachu, Raichu, Pichu, Usagi, Chibiusa, Hotaru, Rei, May, Makoto and May to come too? And if Tigger said "Yes" that would be all right, and if he said "No."
"He won't," said Rabbit. "Leave it to me." And he went off busily.
The next day was quite a different day. Instead of being hot and sunny, it was cold and misty. Pooh didn't mind for himself, but when he thought of all the honey the bees wouldn't be making, a cold and misty day always made him feel sorry for them. He said so to Piglet when Piglet came to fetch him, and Piglet said that he wasn't thinking of that so much, but of how cold and miserable it would be being lost all day and night on the top of the Forest. But when he, Pooh Ami, Ash, Pikachu, Raichu, Pichu, Usagi, Chibiusa, Hotaru, Rei, May, Makoto and May had all got to Rabbit's house, Rabbit said it was just the day for them, because Tigger always bounced on ahead of everybody, and as soon as he got out of sight, they would hurry away in the other direction, and he would never see them again, which Tigger came out from the bushes.
"Not never?" said Piglet.
"Well, not until we find him again, Piglet. To-morrow, or whenever it is. Come on. He's waiting for us." Rabbit said
When they got to Kanga's house, they found that Roo was waiting too, being a great friend of Tigger's, which made it Awkward; but Rabbit whispered "Leave this to me" behind his paw to Pooh, and went up to Kanga.
"I don't think Roo had better come," he said. "Not today."
"Why not?" said Roo, who wasn't supposed to be listening.
"Nasty cold day," said Rabbit, shaking his head. "And you were coughing this morning."
"How do you know?" asked Roo indignantly.
"Oh, Roo, you never told me," said Kanga reproachfully.
"It was a biscuit cough," said Roo, "not one you tell about."
"I think not to-day, dear. Another day." "Tomorrow?" said Roo hopefully.
"We'll see," said Kanga.
"You're always seeing, and nothing ever happens," said Roo sadly.
"Nobody could see on a day like this, Roo," said Rabbit. "I don't expect we shall get very far, and then this afternoon we'll all-we'll all- we'll-ah, Tigger, there you are. Come on. Goodbye, Roo! This afternoon we'll-come on, Pooh! All ready? That's right. Come on."
And they went off together and it is indeed, cold and misty. So they went. At first Pooh, Rabbit, Piglet, Ami, Ash, Ash's Pikachu, Usagi, Chibiusa, Hotaru, Rei, May, Makoto, Minako and Eeyore walked together, and Tigger ran round them in circles, and then, when the path got narrower, Rabbit, Piglet and Pooh walked one after another, Ami held Pooh's Paw, Usagi held Chibiusa's hand, who held Hotaru's hand, who held Ash's hand, who also held May's and Rei's hands, Makoto and Minako saw Tigger ran round them in oblongs, and by-and-by, when the gorse got very prickly on each side of the path, Tigger ran up and down in front of them bouncing on his springy tail, and sometimes he bounced into Rabbit and sometimes he didn't. And as they got higher, the mist got thicker, so that Tigger kept disappearing, and then when you thought he wasn't there, there he was again, saying "I say, come on," and before you could say anything, there he wasn't. Pooh, as usual, had a little something along to sustain himself, a honey pot full of Honey.
Rabbit turned round and nudged Piglet. "The next time," he said. "Tell Pooh."
"The next time," said Piglet to Pooh.
"The next what?" said Pooh to Piglet.
"The next time, Pooh." Said Ami softly
Now, as Tigger kept bouncing farther and farther into the mist, Rabbit thought it was a good time to lose Tigger.
"Now's our chance!" Rabbit whispered "Quick, hide!"
Then Rabbit, Pooh, Ami, Piglet, Ash, Usagi, Chibiusa, Hotaru, Ash's Pikachu, Chibiusa's Togepi and Pichu, and Hotaru's, Ami's and Usagi's Pikachus all hid inside a hollow log to hide from Tigger then Rei and Eeyore jumped into a hollow by the side of the path, then Makoto, Minako, May, Makoto's Raichu and Rei's and Minako's Pikachus jumped in after her. They crouched in the bracken, listening. The Forest was very silent when you stopped and listened to it. They could see nothing and hear nothing.
"Tigger's lost, now, isn't he, Rabbit?" Piglet asked
"Oh, he's lost all right, Piglet." Rabbit said
"Rabbit, this isn't right." Ami gulped "We should find Tigger, and tell him the truth."
"And Ruin our plan, Ami? No way." Rabbit declined
"I got a bad feeling about this…." Pooh sighed
"You said it Pooh." Ash, Chibiusa, Usagi and Hotaru agreed
"Pi Pikachu."
"Pichu."
Then Rabbit came out of one side of the hollow log, and then he look around, then there is nothing in sight, he is happy that his idea worked, and went back down to the log and called out for the others that the coast is clear.
"My splendid idea worked! Now home we go!" Rabbit said
Suddenly, they heard Tigger's voice coming through the distance "Hellooo!"
"Never mind, quick everyone! Hide!" Rabbit called
Tigger bounced to the spots the gang were hiding, first he bounced on top of the hollow log, Ami, Ash, Usagi, Pooh, Rabbit, Piglet, Chibisua, Hotaru, Pikachu, Togepi, Pichu all tried to stay hidden so that Tigger doesn't see them same goes for Rei, Makoto, Minako, Eeyore, May, Raichu and the Pikachus who are on the sand pit.
"Hello!" said Tigger, and he sounded so close suddenly "That's funny they must be lost."
Then Tigger spots a hole on the log, he took a deep breath and he shouts loudly "Hello!!" So loud, that Ami, Ash, Usagi, Pooh, Rabbit, Piglet, Chibisua, Hotaru, Pikachu, Togepi, Pichu all covered their ears and suddenly the noise stopped.
"Hey, you blokes, where are ya?" Tigger asked and he unknowingly got his tail caught on the log the others are hiding in. Pooh tried to say something and Rabbit covers his mouth to not say anything.
"Shush!" said Rabbit.
"I am," said Pooh.
"Oh boy, I hope Tigger doesn't get mad at us for ditching him." Usagi thought
Tigger turns around and notices that his tail got caught on the log the others are hiding in, he tried to pull it out, but it was no use. Rabbit secretly get his tail free without him knowing they are hiding, Tigger pulled again, only this time he realized that his tail is free and falls on his bottom, and he then searches the area again then he bounce across the sandpit and Rei, Makoto, May, Eeyore, Minako and their Pokémon stayed hidden.
"Hellooo! Rabbit? Piglet? Ami? Ash? Pooh? Usagi? Where are you? Hellooo?" Tigger called
Theen he bounces away into the forest, when they heard him pattering off again. For a little longer they waited, until the Forest had become so still that it almost frightened them, and then Rabbit got up and stretched himself, and gladly smiled.
"Hooray! Hooray, we've done it! Now, come on, hurry! Let's head for home!" Rabbit cheered then the others came out from hiding.
"I've been thinking," said Usagi, "and I think"
"No," said Rabbit. "Don't. Run. Come on." And they all hurried off, Rabbit leading the way.
"Now," said Rei, after they had gone a little way, "we can talk. What were you going to say, Usagi?"
"Nothing much. Why are we going along here?" Usagi
"Yeah, i think we might be walking around in circles." Minako said
"Because it's the way home." Said Rabbit
"Oh!" said Pooh.
"Follow Rabbit, he knows the way." Eeyore said
Well, Rabbit was certain that everything was going according to plan, and so it seemed to be. Pooh, Piglet, Ami, Ash, Ash's Pikachu, Usagi, Chibiusa, Hotaru, Rei, May, Makoto, Minako and Eeyore all followed Rabbit, who he knows the way back home, and went one way and while chit chatting, but sometime later, they ended up back to the way they are when they were trying to hide from Tigger.
"Hmmm. It's a very funny thing how everything looks the same in the mist." Rabbit said
"What do you think, Pooh?" Piglet asked
Pooh looked at his two paws. He knew that one of them was the right, and he knew that when you had decided which one of them was the right, then the other one was the left, but he never could remember how to begin.
"Well," Eeyore said slowly.
"Come on," said Rabbit. "I know it's this way."
They went on. Ten minutes later they stopped again.
"It's very silly," said Rabbit, "but just for the moment I- Ah, of course. Come on.".. .
"Here we are," said Rabbit ten minutes later. "No, we're not.".. .
"Now," said Rabbit ten minutes later, "I think we ought to be getting-or are we a little bit more to the right than I thought?".. .
"Seems like Rabbit doesn't have a compass." Eeyore sighed
"It's a funny thing," said Rabbit ten minutes later, "how everything, looks the same in a mist. Have you noticed it, Pooh?"
Pooh said that he had. "It's the very same sandpit. Oh bother."
"Well, it's lucky I know the forest so well, or-or we might get lost. Well, come on. Follow me." said Rabbit half an hour later, and he gave the careless laugh which you give when you know the Forest so well that you can't get lost.
"We might be here forever." Rei sighed
Piglet sidled up to Pooh, Ami, Usagi, Chibiusa, Ash, Hotaru, May, Pikachu, Rei, Makoto, Minako and Eeyore from behind.
"Pooh!" he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw. "I just wanted to be sure of you."
"Now let's just hope that we head back home safely." Ami gulped
When Tigger had finished waiting for the others to catch him up, and they hadn't, and when he had got tired of having nobody to say, and the first people who came up are Owl, Kanga and Roo with Kanga getting a empty basket
"Tigger dear, could you and Roo go and collect some Pinecones for me?" said Kanga, giving them a basket.
"I sure can, Mrs. Kanga Ma'am!" Tigger accepted
So they went to the Six Pine Trees, and threw fircones at each other until they had forgotten what they came for, and they left the basket under the trees and went back to dinner. And it was just as they were finishing dinner that Owl put his head in at the door.
"I say, Tigger. Where's Pooh?" he asked.
"Tigger dear, where's Pooh, Piglet, Rabbit, Eeyore, Ash and the girls?" said Kanga.
Tigger explained what had happened at the same time that Roo was explaining about his Biscuit Cough and Kanga was telling them not both to talk at once, so it was some time before Owl guessed that Pooh, Piglet, Rabbit, Eeyore, Ami, Ash, Ash's Pikachu, Usagi, Chibiusa, Hotaru, Rei, May, Makoto, Minako, their Pikachus, Makoto's Raichu and Chibiusa's Pichu and Togepi were all lost in the mist on the top of the Forest.
"It's a funny thing about Tiggers," whispered Tigger to Roo, "how Tiggers never get lost."
"Why don't they, Tigger?" Owl asked
"They just don't," explained Tigger. "That's how it is. Not to worry, I'll bounce them out of there!"
"May I find them too?" asked Roo eagerly.
"I think not today, dear," said Kanga. "Another day."
"Well, if they're lost tomorrow, may I find them?" Asked Roo
"We'll see," said Kanga,
"Well, T-T-F-N! Ta Ta For Now!" Tigger said
and Roo, who knew what that meant, went into a corner and practised jumping out at himself, and Tigger bounced off to save our heroes.
Meanwhile, Pooh, Piglet, Rabbit, Eeyore, Ami, Ash, Ash's Pikachu, Usagi, Chibiusa, Hotaru, Rei, May, Makoto, Minako, their Pikachus, Makoto's Raichu and Chibiusa's Pichu and Togepi were still wondering about in the mist and rest in a small sand-pit on the top of the Forest. Pooh was getting tired of that sand-pit, and suspected it of following them about and started to get nervous because whichever direction they started in, they always ended up at it, and each time, as it came through the mist at them, Rabbit said triumphantly, "Now I know where we are!" and Pooh said sadly, "So do I," Piglet, Eeyore, Ash and the girls said nothing. He had tried to think of something to say, but the only thing he could think of was, "Help, help!" and it seemed silly to say that, when he had Pooh, Eeyore, Rabbit, Ash and the girls with him.
"Well," said Rabbit, after a long silence in which nobody thanked him for the nice walk they were having, "we'd better get on, I suppose. Which way shall we try?"
Pooh gulped and Ami held his paw "Ah, er, Rabbit?" said Pooh slowly," how would it be if as soon as we're out of sight of this old pit, we just try to find it again?"
"What's the good of that?" Rabbit asked
"Well, you see, we keep looking for home but we keep finding this pit so I just thought that if we looked for this pit, we might find home." Minako pointed out
"we'd be sure not to find it, which would be a Good Thing, because then we might find something that we weren't looking for, which might be just what we were looking for, really." Usagi said holding Chibiusa's hand
"I don't see much sense in that," said Rabbit.
"No," said Makoto humbly, "there isn't. But there was going to be when I began it. It's just that something happened to it on the way."
"If I walked away from this Pit, and then walked back to it, of course I should find it!" Rabbit said
"Well, I thought perhaps you wouldn't," said Eeyore. "I just thought."
"Now all of you wait here!" Rabbit said
Then Rabbit laughed and walked into the mist. After he had gone a hundred yards, he turned and walked back again, So Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Ami, Ash, Ash's Pikachu, Usagi, Chibiusa, Hotaru, Rei, May, Makoto, Minako, their Pikachus, Makoto's Raichu and Chibiusa's Pichu and Togepi were still waited in the mist for Rabbit. And they waited, and waited, and waited. And all the while, Pooh's thoughts kept returning to his honey pots at home. While they were napping, Piglet heard Pooh's Tummy rubbing and it woke the gang up.
"W-w-what was that, Pooh?" Piglet gasped
"My tummy rumble. Now then, come on. Let's go home." Pooh replied
"Silly old bear, now Pooh can lead us back." Ami giggled and got out of the pit while Ash helped her, May and Usagi up
"But, Pooh," cried Piglet, all excited as the others got out of the pit, "do you know the way?"
"No," said Pooh. "But there are twelve pots of honey in my cupboard, and they've been calling to my tummy for hours. I couldn't hear them properly before, because Rabbit would talk, but if nobody says anything except those twelve pots, I think, Piglet, I shall know where they are calling from. so come on. We'll just follow my tummy."
"Ok, Pooh lead the way." Ash said
"Chu."
"Come on, everyone." Ami said as she held Pooh's Paw and Ash's hand
They walked off together; and for a long time Piglet said nothing, so as not to interrupt Pooh's honey pots.; and then suddenly sure enough, as the mist got thinner, and just when Piglet began to know where he was, but he still didn't dare to say so out loud, in case he wasn't. And just when he was getting so sure of himself that it didn't matter whether the pots went on calling or not, there was a bounce from Tigger that knocked Pooh, Piglet and May on their backs
"Hey, hello there, you blokes!" Tigger greeted "Where have you been? Hoo-hoo-hoo!"
"We've been trying to find a way back home." Pooh said
"Everyone, I don't think Rabbit's idea work." Piglet said "Honestly I don't like to ditch Tigger ever again."
"Yep unless if you want to end up like Rabbit, who is searching for us now." Eeyore said
"Tigger, we're so sorry that we tried to ditch you. We didn't want to go with Rabbit's plan but he convinced us into doing it anyway." Ami confessed and apologized "Please don't be mad at us."
"Yeah, Tigger, we're sorry." Usagi, Rei, Makoto, May, Chibiusa, Hotaru and Minako apologized
"Please forgive us." Ash begged
"Mad at ya?" Tigger laughed "Tiggers don't get mad at the people they trust a lot. Besides, Tiggers never get lost."
"Never get lost?" Ash, Ami, Pooh, Usagi, Usagi, Piglet, Eeyore, Rei, Makoto, May, Chibiusa Hotaru and Minako asked
"Of course not!" Tigger smiled then he remembered something "Say…. Where is ole long ears anyway?"
"He is still missing in the mist." Pooh said
"Pika Pikachu."
"Well, leave it to me, I'll bounce him outta there!" Tigger said as he went off to the Misty woods "T-T-F-N! Ta ta for now! Hoo-hoo-hoo!"
Then Tigger bounced into the Misty woods to rescue Rabbit and they said goodbye, while Ash, Ami, Pooh, Usagi, Usagi, Piglet, Eeyore, Rei, Makoto, May, Chibiusa Hotaru and Minako with the Pikachus, Makoto's Raichu and Chibiusa's Pichu and Togepi all set off to Pooh's house to go have some lunch with Pooh making some Honey bread by spreading Honey on two pieces of bread and serving it to our heroes.
Meanwhile, Rabbit was still wandering around in the mist. By now, he was lost and bewildered. And to make matters worse, his mind was beginning to play tricks on him, he is unaware at the time that Tigger had already gotten out of the mist and was already on his way back to retrieve him, he ends up in a dark, damp, and misty part of the forest, to add to that he's scared by various animal noises. Frogs start croaking loudly, caterpillars munch loudly on leaves and after seeing frogs sitting there in front of him (plus more appearing and making more noise) it scares the living daylights out of him. The sounds get to him so badly that it drives him mad causing his eyes to make whirlpools and he frantically tries to run away.
"HEELLP!!!" Rabbit screamed
Then suddenly, Tigger appeared out of nowhere and gave Rabbit a good bounce of rescue, and surprises him, knocking him on his back and greets the frightened rabbit, Tigger is a friendly Tigger, a Grand Tigger, a Large and Helpful Tigger, a Tigger who bounced, if he bounced at all, in just the beautiful way a Tigger ought to bounce.
"Heya, Rabbit!" Tigger greeted
"Tigger?!" Rabbit gasped "B-b-but you're supposed to be lost."
"Aw, Tiggers never get lost, Bunny Boy." Tigger laughed, patting Rabbit's cheeks
"Never... get... lost?" Rabbit gasped
"Of course not!" Tigger replied shaking his head
"Oh, no." Rabbit said and sighed "Oh, Tigger, I am glad to see you,"
"Now come on, Rabbit! Let's go home!" Tigger said as he gave Rabbit his tail to make sure he never gets lost "Hang on! Hoo-hoo-hoo!"
So they started back with Tigger dragging Rabbit from behind Rabbit held on tight as he was carried along through the mist and the mud . He was now a thoroughly humiliated Rabbit. A very Small and Sorry Rabbit. a humiliated Rabbit, a lost and found Rabbit, an "Oh why, oh why do these things happen to me". Rabbit, But he is very very glad to be home.
A few weeks later, a huge snowfall had covered the Hundred Acre Wood. And in which Tigger learns that even bouncing can be overdone, Ash and the girls even were doing some snow angels, building snowmen, and Rei, Chibiusa, Usagi and Minako are having some snowball fights. Ash, May, Hotaru and Makoto made a fire pit to keep warm from the cold snow, and Pooh and Piglet helped them out by finding some firewood. Then when they're finished, Ash, Ami and May sat next to a nearby log and watch the snowfall.
"Ah…. The lovely snowfall that covered the Hundred Acre Wood…." Ami sighed happily
"It is so beautiful." Ash smiled while he held Ami's and May's hands
"Oh…. Ashy, your so warm." May smiled as Pooh sat next to them.
Ash then kisses both Ami and May on their cheeks and they muzzle on his cheeks and kissed him back as they cuddled lovingly
Pooh was thinking, he thought he would go and see Eeyore, because he hadn't seen him since yesterday. And as he walked through the heather, singing to himself, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Owl since the day before yesterday, so he thought that he would just look in at the Hundred Acre Wood on the way and see if Owl was at home. while he wondered what to do. The other verse of the song was like this:
I could spend a happy snowy morning
Seeing Roo,
I could spend a happy snowy morning
Being Pooh.
For it doesn't seem to matter,
If I don't get any fatter (And I don't get any fatter),
What I do.
Then, he sang rather a fluffy song through the fur. It went like this:
I could spend a happy morning Seeing Piglet.
And I couldn't spend a happy morning not seeing Piglet.
And it doesn't seem to matter
If I don't see Owl and Eeyore (or any of the others),
And I'm not going to see Owl or Eeyore (or any of the others)
While the others are having fun in the snow, Roo was waiting for Tigger to take him out to play in the snow.
"Mama, when is Tigger going to get here?" Roo asked impatiently
"Be patient, dear, he'll be here soon." Kanga laughed
Then suddenly, Tigger came bouncing in the snow with May with him, then Roo was very happy to see Tigger, as he had his sweater and his scarf on.
"Well, here I am! Did I surprise you, Roo?" Tigger greeted
"I'm here too!" May greeted with a smile
"You two sure did! I like surprises
"Hello, Mrs. Kanga, ma'am." Tigger greeted
"Good morning, Kanga." May greeted
Why, hello, Tigger dear, hello May dear." She greeted
"Ha ha ha, she called me "dear."" Tigger giggled and turned to Roo "Roo, are you ready for some bouncing?"
"Yeah! You and me are good bouncers!" Roo nodded
"I'll be able to bounce with you both today." May said
"Is your sweater warm enough?" Kanga asked
"Yes, mama." Roo replied
"Well, come on, guyses! Let's go!" Tigger said
"Tigger, May, have Roo home in time for his nap! And be careful!" Kanga called
"Don't worry, Mrs. Kanga! We'll take care of the little nipper! Hoo-hoo-hoo!" Tigger said
"You can count on us, Kanga! Hoo-hoo-hoo!" May added
"Hoo-hoo-hoo!" Roo said
And so, they are going to have a nice long snowy morning in the Forest not getting into mischief. And off the three had gone, And as they went, Tigger told Roo (who wanted to know) all about the things that Tiggers could do. May was listening to this.
Along the way through the woods, Rabbit is ice skating like a figure skater through the pond which is frozen on one side of his house, feeling very happy to spend time all by himself without a care in a world, and even doing a figure eight, not a single person will annoy him today, and he is humming very proudly to himself while Ice Skating.
"Ah, what a perfect day! Peace and quiet, and thank goodness, no Tigger." Rabbit hummed
Then May, Tigger and Roo came by and saw Rabbit Ice Skating, while there, Roo asks Tigger what he can do instead of bouncing, then Roo had an idea.
"Say, look, look, look! If it isn't old long ears!" Tigger said
"He's Ice Skating. Without skates." May said and dreamed "I wish Ashy and I could ice skate together, I can see it already."
"Can Tiggers ice skate as fancy as Mr. Rabbit?" Roo asked
"Can Tiggers ice skate? Why, that's why Tiggers do the best! Hoo-hoo-hoo!" Tigger said as he got on the ice and began to skate on the ice "Wheee! Say, this is a cinch."
"Be careful Tigger!" May warned
Then Tigger tried to bounce on the ice with his tail, only for him to lose his balance, then he can't control it, as Rabbit sees Tigger coming, then he reacted in fear.
"Oh no! Not Tigger!" Rabbit gasped
"Look out! I can't stop!" Tigger shouted "Out of my way! Look out-I can't-Whoa!"
Then Tigger collided with Rabbit and they spun around and the result is Tigger sliding across the ice into a snowbank and Rabbit crashing into his house, where is belongings are crashed, and he sighed in disappointment.
"Oh, why does it always have to be me? Why, oh why, oh, why?" Rabbit sighed
May and Roo rushed over to the snowbank to check up on Tigger.
"Tigger, Tigger!" Roo called
"Are you ok?" May asked
Then suddenly, Tigger is now emerging from the snow and he rubs the snow off of him and reacted in disgust "Uh, pew! Ree-yuck!" He shouted "Tiggers don't like ice skating!"
"Let's go." May said
So, after the Ice Skating didn't go very well, Tigger, May and Roo all went farther into the Hundred Acre Wood looking for something that Tigger's do best, the further they have gone, the more ideas for May and Roo can come up with for what Tiggers can do while in the snow, Roo has a good idea for what Tigger's can do, and that is climb trees even better then Pooh Bears or Piglets.
"I bet you can climb trees, huh Tigger?" Roo asked
"Wait, can Tiggers climb trees better than Pooh?" asked May, stopping under the tallest Tree, and looking up at it, with a very familiar hole on the mid top of it, where Pooh tried to climb it.
"Climb trees? Hoo-hoo-hoo! That's what Tigger's do best!" Tigger said "Much better than Poohs."
"Could they climb this one?" May asked "It looks pretty familiar…."
"They're always climbing trees like that," said Tigger. "Up and down all day."
"Oo, Tigger, are they really?" Roo asked
"I'll show you," said Tigger bravely, "and you can sit on my shoulders and watch me. Only Tigger's don't climb trees; they bounce 'em! Come on, let's go! Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!"
"Be careful there! We might disturb the…." May tried to warn them.
But Tigger bounced up from branch to branch with Roo on his shoulder and they, bounced, and bounced, and bounced and bounced and then, Tigger manage to bounce a few inches out of the book which Misty, Verity, Daisy, Violet, Lilly, Jeanette, Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna saw and gasped in disbelief, and then Tigger and Roo are back in the book and Tigger held onto the tip top of the tallest tree with Roo holding onto his tail.
"Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! I almost bounced clear out of the book!" Tigger laughed "That was some bouncing, huh?"
Then when Tigger looked down and saw only May, he realized that accidentally jumps too high up the tree, only to discover he is afraid of heights, which he gasped in fear as he clings to the tree for dear life and he closes his eyes, breathing very quickly, and wishing that he had gone in for swimming instead or making snow angels with Chibiusa and Hotaru.
"Say, how did this tree get so high?" Tigger gulped "Tiggers don't like high heights!"
"Tigger, Roo Are you both alright?" May called from down below ."Just stay right there, I'll help you two out!"
Then suddenly, Tigger feels the tree rocking, and Roo is now swinging on Tigger's tail and having a lot of fun as May began to climb up the tree while is is rocking, only for a bee to come out of the hole and flew around Tigger.
"H-h-hey! Hey! What's happening now?!" Tigger asked as Roo began to sing a little
"Don't worry Tigger." May said, as she climbed up the tree. "I'll help you down, although Roo what are you doing?"
"Don't swing on a string
It's much too frail
The best kind of swing
Is a tigger's tail
Wheee!"
"S-s-s-s-s-stop that, kid! Please!" Tigger begged as Roo is swinging on his tail "S-T-O-P, stop! You're rockin' the forest!"
Then Roo jumped off and landed on a branch next to Tigger and saw him hanging on for fear life as the Bee who was woken up from the rocking and the bouncing circle around Tigger as May continued to climb.
"I'm almost there Tigger." May said as she reached the branch under Tigger. "I just have to think of a plan and then we can-" But then May slightly slipped and lost her grip on the tree. Luckily she managed to grab another branch and hold onto it. But unluckily she looked down. "I didn't think this tree was so high, but now I know why Mako hates heights!" May then clang onto the tree branch.
"May, what's wrong?" Tigger asked.
"I'm afraid, I'm now stuck too!" May wailed, before hearing a buzzing sound. "Um, TIgger, Roo, do you guys hear that buzzing?"
"I think I unknowingly woken the bees up from their nap by bouncing up this tree." Tigger gulped at the hight and the Bee telling the scared feline to come down
"What's the matter, Tigger?" Roo asked "are you and May alright?"
"Sort of Roo." May said. "But I hope we're not stuck here all day or night."
"Phew. Oh, thank goodness. I was just getting a little see-sick from..." Tigger gulps "seeing too much..."
"Don't worry, Tigger and Roo, I'll help you guys in no….." she looked down while hanging on one of the branches and let's put a cry in fear as she clings onto the tree in fear "Oh no! This tree is too high and Tigger, I think you bounced too high up in a honey tree! And the bees want you to come down!"
"Oh boy, May, that's easy for you to say." Tigger gasped as he saw more bees coming as one flew off to go find help "Now I'm being…. Surrounded by bees…. I didn't mean to wake you up from your hibernation…."
Then while the bee is flying off leaving Tigger, Roo and May in the tree for a little while, nearby at a lower part of the Hundred Acre Wood, near the trees a little far away from the tall tree, Pooh and Piglet were tracking something in a nearby bush filled with footprints with Usagi, Chibiusa and Hotaru tagging along, and keeping quiet along the way.
"What are you doing, Pooh?" Piglet asked
"Shhh!" Pooh hushed "Tracking something."
"Tracking what?" Usagi asked
"Well, that's what I asked myself, "what"?" He asked
"And what do you think you'll answer yourself?" Chibiusa asked
"I shall have to wait until I catch up with it." Pooh
"Pooh, for a bear of very little brain, you sure are a smart one!" Hotaru said
"Thank you very much Sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn't. You never can tell with paw-marks." Pooh thanked and he spotted something "Ah-ha-ha!"
"Oh!" Piglet gasped and hold onto Pooh's paw "N-n-now w-w-what?"
"A very mysterious thing." Pooh informed "A whole new set of tracks! See?"
And so it seemed to be. There were the tracks joining each other, here, getting mixed up with each other, there. But to Pooh, quite plainly, four sets of paw marks, the five continued on and trying to find whoever is making the tracks. Piglet passing the time by telling Pooh what his Grandfather Trespassers W had done to Remove Stiffness after Tracking, and how his Grandfather Trespassers W had suffered in his later years from Shortness of Breath, and other matters of interest, and Pooh wondering what a Grandfather was like, and if perhaps this was Two Grandfathers they were after now, and, if so, whether he would be allowed to take one home and keep it, and what Christopher Robin would say. And still the tracks went on in front of them.…
Suddenly Winnie the Pooh stopped, and pointed excitedly in front of him.
"Piglet, Usagi, Chibiusa, Hotaru, whatever it was that made these tracks, has now been joined by a whatever-it-is." Pooh said
"Y-y-yes, and all of them are proceeding in company." Piglet nodded
"I wasn't exactly expecting company." Pooh said
"N-n-neither we're we, Pooh." Hotaru said
So they went on, feeling just a little anxious now, in case the three animals in front of them were of Hostile Intent. And Piglet wished very much that his Grandfather T. W. were there, instead of elsewhere, suddenly they heard a call from the distance.
"Hellooo!!" A voice called
"Help!!" Another called
Then Pooh and Piglet ran and hid behind a wall for Usagi, Chibiusa and Hotaru saw that on the top of the Tree were Tigger, Roo and May stuck in a tree, with the bees who are awaken from their hibernation nap, Circling around Tigger wanting him to get down.
"Look, look, Piglet, There's something in that tree over there." Pooh gulped
"Is it one of the fiercer animals?" Piglet asked
Pooh nodded. "It's a Jagular," he said.
"What do Jagulars do?" asked Piglet, hoping that they wouldn't.
"They hide in the branches of trees, and drop on you as you go underneath," said Pooh. "Christopher Robin told me."
"Perhaps we better hadn't go underneath, Pooh. In case he dropped and hurt himself." Piglet gulped
"They don't hurt themselves," said Pooh "They're such very good droppers."
Piglet still felt that to be underneath a Very Good Dropper would be a Mistake, and he was just going to hurry back for something which he had forgotten when the Jagular called out to them.
"I wonder how Mamma May is doing babysitting Roo with Tigger?" Hotaru wondered.
"I still wish she was making snow angels with us!" Chibiusa pouted.
"Hey, cheer up Chibiusa, I'm sure May's having fun with Tigger and Roo." Usagi said, before seeing something in the tree. "Hey that red thing in the tree almost looks like May's bandana."
"That's what Jagulars always do," said Pooh, much interested. "They call "Hellooo" and when you look up, they drop on you."
"I'm looking down," cried Piglet loudly, so as the Jagular shouldn't do the wrong thing by accident. Something very excited next to the Jagular heard him, and squeaked
"Hey, Tigger, May, it's Pooh, Piglet, Usagi, Chibiusa and Hotaru!" Roo said and called for them "Pooh! Piglet! Usagi! Chibiusa! Hotaru!"
"Why, it's only Tigger and Roo! Come on!" Pooh said "The bee is telling us and want us to get help."
"They look like they're in trouble." Usagi said
Then, Pooh, Piglet, Usagi, Chibiusa and Hotaru hurried to the tallest tree in the woods, which Pooh saw it is familiar that he saw the bees circle around Tigger, the bear called up to them.
"Hello May!" Pooh called. "What are you, Roo and Tigger doing up that the honey tree?"
"Why are the bees circling around Tigger?" Piglet asked
"MAY!" Usagi called. "What are you, Roo and Tigger doing up that tree?"
"Tigger got stuck when he looked down and Roo stayed with him!" May called down. "I tried to help Tigger down, but before I could help, I looked down and now I realised how high up we are and the Bees came out of their hive and circle around Tigger! Usagi, Pooh, Piglet please, get Ashy!"
"Me and May are alright, but Tigger's Stuck." Roo said "The bees want Tigger to come down."
"Yes, please go get Ash, Ami and the others!" Tigger cried, while not wanting to get stung by bees
But it wasn't too long before word got back to Ami, Ash, Pikachu, Raichu, Pichu, Rei, Makoto, May, Rabbit, Piglet, Kanga and Eeyore that Tigger, May and Roo were in trouble, they rushed to Pooh, Piglet, Usagi, Chibisua and Hotaru as fast as they could escorted by one bee to find them standing next to the tree where Tigger, May and Roo were stuck in where the bees still wanting Tigger to come down.
"Usagi, Chibiusa, Hotaru!" Ash called. "We got here as fast as we could!"
"Pooh, Piglet!" Ami said. "What's going on?"
"Tigger, Roo and May are up." Pooh said pointing up to them and the bees
"The bees want Tigger to come down." Piglet said
"Oh my Goodness, Roo how did you get way up there?" Kanga asked worriedly
"I'm alright, but Tigger's Stuck." Roo said
"Oh what a shame." Kanga sadly said
"ASHY!" May wailed. "Get us down! I have a fear of being stuck in a tree with a swarm of bees!"
"Hang on May!" Minako called. "We'll get you guys down! Somehow."
"How are we gonna get Tigger, Roo and May down with that swarm of bees around Tigger?" Rei asked.
"You got any ideas Lovely Bookworm?" Ash asked the bluenette.
"No it is a good thing, you see Tigger can't bounce anybody from up there." Rabbit said happily
"Now's not the time for that Rabbit!" Makoto said. "We need to think of something to get Tigger, Roo and May down safely."
"I wonder if the bees are telling Tigger to get off the tree so they can go back to sleep?" Usagi pondered.
Ami gets out a huge blanket for a trampoline and everyone grabbed each end of the blanket for Tigger, May and Roo to land on for safety, Rabbit is very happy that Tigger can't bounce anybody from up in the honey tree.
"Here's what we'll do." Ami said. "Usagi, Rei, Makoto, Minako, Rabbit, Pooh, Kanga, Piglet, Chibiusa, Hotaru and I'll hold each end of my huge blanket for Roo to land on safely, and Ashy, you get ready to catch May."
"Got it Ami." Ash said, before turning to his Hoenn Brounette in the tree. "MAY! I'm going to catch you! When I say 'now' let go of the branch and I'll catch you in my arms!"
"But Ashy! I'm too scared!" May wailed holding the branch. "What if I fall and I brake my back or-"
"MAY! I promise you that I'll catch you!" Ash called. "I know you can do this! You're a really brave girl! You helped us search for Chibiusa back on Cinnabar Island, you helped us with the battle at Mount Tensai and you've been very brave to meet and defeat the Elite Four and Gary! I know you can do this! Be brave and trust in your boyfriend!"
"Okay Ashy!" May said. "I trust you!"
"NOW!" Ash called.
"Okay!" May said, and let go of the branch and fell.
"ASHY! CATCH ME!" May yelled as she fell.
"I've got you my Princess of Hoenn!" Ash called, and catching May in his arms and held her bridal style.
"ASHY!" May cried, as she wrapped her arms around him. "You caught me! Thank you so much my Sun and Moon Prince!"
"May I made a promise that I'll protect you and the rest of my harem with my life." Ash said. "And I'm gonna keep that promise now and forever. And you were very brave too!"
"Aw, Ashy!" May beamed and then she began to passionately kiss her lover, and he responded by kissing back.
"Your next Roo, Jump!" Ami called
"May's down and she's safe." Piglet said. "Now it's Roo's turn."
"Roo are you ready to jump?" Usagi called. "We'll catch you on Ami's blanket"
"Try not to fall too fast, dear!" Kanga called
"Wee!" Roo called, as he jumped down and landed safely on the blanket and then in Kanga's pouch.
"Oh, thank goodness!" Kanga sighed
"Gee, that was fun!" Roo said then called up to Tigger "Come on, Tigger. It's doesn't hurt. Jump!"
"You're next, Tigger. Jump!" Ami called
"Jump!? Tiggers don't jump they bounce!" Tigger cried
"Then why don't you bounce down?" Minako asked. "If you can bounce up, then can't you bounce back down?"
"Dont be ridiculous! Tiggers only bounce up!" Tigger gulped
"Then you can climb back down Tigger." Usagi said. "I'm sure you can climb back down."
"But Tiggers can't climb down because uh…. Their Tails get in the way!" Tigger stuttered as he wrapped his tail on the tree
"Oh Tigger, you're now acting like Usagi when she couldn't climb down that tree that one time!" Rei said.
"Hey, watch it Rei!" Usagi glared. "Well if Tigger can't jump, he can't bounce down or climb down, then how are we gonna get him down?"
"Yay! That settles it! If he can't jump down or climb down then we'll have to leave him up there forever!" Rabbit cired happily
"Rabbit!" Hotaru called. "We can't do that! We can't leave Tigger up there! The bees need their tree back so they can continue to hibernate through the long winter!"
"Hotaru's right!" Chibiusa said. "We can't leave Tigger up there! There has to be a way we can get him down!"
Then Minako thought of something.
"Hey, guys, why not we ask Misty and the others to help?" Minako asked. "I know I didn't watch Pooh a lot, but I do remember the narrator helped Tigger down the tree. Sorry, am I not making sense again."
"Goddess of Love." Ash said, still holding May. "You're a genius!"
"I am?" Minako asked.
"Forever?! Oh If I ever get outta this, I promise never to bounce again! N-Never!" Tigger Cried as the Bees are growing impatient
"I heard that Tigger!" Rabbit cried historically and he got into Ami's Usagi's, Makoto's, Rei's, Pooh's, Piglet's and Eeyore's faces "He promised! did you hear him promise?! I heard him, I heard him! You heard him, didn't ya? Didn't ya?!"
"I'm sorry Ash, but how's Minako's idea gonna help us get Tigger down?" Rei asked.
"Minako's right. The narrator helped Tigger down the tree and I think Misty and the others can help him now!" Ami said. "Misty! Verity! Guys!"
Back in Ash and Makoto's Misty hears Ami's voice coming from the storybook.
"Huh? Hey guys!" Misty called. "Ami needs us!"
"Ami, what's going on?" Verity asked.
The Queen Bee who have been patient for very long with Tigger and stood next to Pooh and Piglet finally had enough and she wiggled her wings as she had her own way to make Tigger come down, and flew at the scared feline as fast as she could who is is still stuck with a swarm of bees and she stung Tigger on his bottom which caused him to yelp and let go.
"Ouch!!" Tigger yelped "Uh oh.", knowing this was going to end badly. "Tally ho."
"Oh no!" Misty cried, outside the book in Ash and Makoto's room. "Tigger's gonna land on his bottom!"
"I've got an idea." Setsuna said. "Misty, hand me the book."
"Uh okay." Misty said, handing it to the busty greenette.
"What are you planning on doing Setsuna?" Verity asked.
"Don't worry Tigger, I got you." Setsuna said, turning the book sideways and Tigger landed on the words and started sliding down the letters until he landed safely on the ground.
"Tigger, you okay?" Chibiusa asked.
"Oh, I'm fine, thanks to that tall green haired girl friend of yours." Tigger said being happy
"That's my Setsu." Ash beamed, as May kept kissing his face. "Always thinking fast on her feet. Setsuna! When me and the girls get out, you and I are gonna have a make out session first thing!"
"Sure thing Ashy!" Setsuna said. "I look forward to it!"
"Oh, good old terra firma! "Thank you so much green haired girl!" Tigger cheered as he scooping up snow and kisses the snow the he got up "Say, I'm so happy I feel like bouncing!"
"You're welcome Tigger." Setsuna said.
Then when Tigger began to start bouncing, but pauses when Rabbit interuppts him by shouting
"Uh-uh-uh! You promised! You promised!" Rabbit called
Everyone gasped as Tigger then landed on the snow in defeat as the bees went back to their hive to sleep, with Tigger quickly changes his mood from happy to sad.
"Oh, I did, didn't I? You mean I-I can't - ever bounce again?" Tigger stutters as tears are flooding his eyes
"Yeah, Tigger is only kidding…." Ami tried to convince Rabbit
"Besides bouncing is what…" Usagi tried to speak
"Never!" Rabbit yelled and cut Ami and Usagi off
"N-Never?" Tigger whimpered as his tears escaped from his eyes as there was a brief silence then he spoke again "N-Not even just - one, teensy-weensy bounce?"
"Not even a smidgen of a bounce!" Rabbit shouted harshly
"Rabbit! Tigger was only joking around…." Makoto said
"Besides Tigger was saying that out of fear and….." Rei tried to explain
"No more bouncing!" Rabbit cut them off
When when Tigger finally realized what a blow to him no bouncing would be, he turned and sadly and slowly walked off home from his friends, his tail is flopped and is between his legs and he was certainly a sad and depressed Tigger, Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Ami, Ash, Ash's Pikachu, Usagi, Chibiusa, Hotaru, Rei, May, Makoto, Minako, their Pikachus, Makoto's Raichu and Chibiusa's Pichu and Togepi really hated to see Tigger's bounce been taken away from him, Rabbit feels better that there will be peace, or so for only he feels.
"Oh the poor dear…. Oh that's too bad." Kanga said sadly
"You couldn't let it go couldn't you Rabbit?" Makoto glared quietly
"I hope you got what you wanted." Rei added harshly to the stuck up Rabbit
Then Roo tugged on Ami's arm "Ami, I like the old, bouncy Tigger best."
"So do I, Roo." Ami agreed sadly "I really don't like seeing his bounce get taken away."
"I do too." Piglet said
"Me too…." Chibisua said
"I do as well." Hotaru said
"His bounces bring joy to us." May sniffled as she starts to cry
"Us too…." Usagi and Minako whimpered
"We all do so much…." Rei said
"….. without it, we feel very down…." Makoto added
"…. And we be down in the dumps." Eeyore said
"Yeah, we all love the bouncy Tigger the best." Ash nodded and agreed with everyone
"Chu….."
"Of course, we all do." Pooh said and turned to Rabbit." Don't you agree, Rabbit?"
Everyone turned to Rabbit, who is feeling very proud that he will get some peace and quiet, then he gulped as they try to get Rabbit to agree that the joy Tigger brought when he was bouncing and prefer the old bouncy Tigger. Seeing that he is outnumbered, he stuttered.
"I uh..." Rabbit stuttered
"Well, Rabbit?" Ami convinced
"Well, uh, uh, that is, I-uh, what I mean..." Rabbit gulped
"Well?" said Pooh
"Uh, I uh..." Rabbit said
"Come on Rabbit…" Ash smirked
"You know you wanna…." Usagi, Chibiusa, Hotaru and May continued
"Admit it…." Rei, Makoto and Minako smirked
Rabbit had no choice, then he finally regretted it how he acted over Tigger as he felt sorry "Oh, all right. I guess I like the old Tigger better, too." Rabbit said remorsefully
Upon hearing this, Tigger came back as fast as he could, and gave Rabbit a friendly and happy tackle bounce, knocking him on his back and then overly-excited Tigger gave Rabbit a big hug as the remorseful Rabbit was getting very speechless.
"Oh, boy! You mean, I can have my bounce back?!" Tigger asked excitedly "Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Come on, Rabbit! Let's you and me bounce!"
"Good heavens!" Rabbit gasped "M-m-m-me bounce?"
"Why, certainly!" Tigger said as he took a hold of Rabbit's foot "And look, you've got the feet for it.
"I have?" Rabbit asked
"Sure! Come on, try it!" Tigger cheered as he took Rabbit's hands and bounced "It makes ya feel just grrreat!"
"Well, say, it does, doesn't it?" Rabbit asked as he and Tigger started bouncing and Rabbit called for everyone "Come on, everyone! Bounce!"
"Come on, bounce! Hoo-hoo-hoo! Hoo-hoo-hoo!" Tigger cheered
And so, within seconds, Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Ami, Ash, Ash's Pikachu, Usagi, Chibiusa, Hotaru, Kanga, Roo, Rei, May, Makoto, Minako, their Pikachus, Makoto's Raichu and Chibiusa's Pichu and Togepi all began bouncing with Tigger and Rabbit and being happy, For the first time in his life, Rabbit is happy to be bouncing, as is everyone else, as Makoto and Rei bounced with Ash.
"You know, bouncing is really fun!" Rei cheered "I think me, Mako and You should make Dinner for all of us!"
"You got it, girls!" Ash happily said as he took May's, Rei's and Makoto hands and they bounce up and down
"Oh yeah! I'm really happy bouncing I never thought about it until now!" Makoto said
"Come on everyone let's bounce all the way to Pooh's place for Dinner!" May called
"Oh I love to invite everyone for a dinner party!" Pooh cheered
"I'm really having fun bouncing with you Pooh!" Ami cheered
Then as they bounced into the sunset to Pooh's house, Tigger began to sing his verse one more time which everyone is happy that he is happy.
The wonderful thing about tiggers
Is tiggers are wonderful things
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun fun fun fun fun fun
But the most wonderful thing about tiggers
Is I'm the only one
I'm the only one!
Grrr!
and so they all went to Pooh's house for a lovely Dinner Party while bouncing with Tigger and he shows everyone how to bounce some more Makoto is planning on making some yummy cury rice for everyone, Can Ami, Ash, Usagi, May Chibiusa, Hotaru, Rei, Makoto, Minako and their Pokémon complete the last story which is Eeyore's day and before they all head back home for the Pallet Town party to celebrate their victory at the Pokémon League?
