Kingdom Hearts: The Dalmatian Bodyguard

Chapter 31: Next Page of the Story

As everyone got aboard the Ebon Hawk, Monstro started to sneeze. Donald scrambled to the cockpit and flew them away from Monstro. Unfortunately, the Ebon Hawk flew weakly a bird with a injured wing. Beezee explained that his repairs won't hold forever.

Sora: Get us back to Traverse Town. Maybe your nephews can organize repairs for the Ebon Hawk.

Donald started flying back as Sora went to address his passengers.

Sora: We can drop you off at Traverse Town. You'll be safe there.

Geppetto: Thank you, lad.

Pinocchio gave Sora the Torn Page he found in Monstro. Sora put it in his pocket with the other and went to check on Dolly. On an instinct, he summoned his Keyblade and received a new one. It looked like it was made of wood, had gears as handle guards and Key Teeth, and the keychain was a star. Sora found Dolly sadly putting a broken pocket watch in her trophy case. Windsor squeaked, asking Dolly if she was okay.

Dolly: I'm fine. Just missing home.

Sora walked away. As they arrived in Traverse Town, Geppetto and Pinocchio left and found a shop they could use.

Stone: Sir… I think me and the Private will do a little shopping on new equipment and supplies.

Sparky: Ih.

Donald: I'll go, too. I need a new magic staff.

Goofy: I'll stay behind and watch the Ebon Hawk.

Sora: Come on, Dolly. Let's return these pages to Pooh's story book.

Dolly decided maybe seeing Pooh will make her happy. They returned to Merlin and he showed them the book still on the pedestal. Then he sensed Dolly's Laser Lamp.

Merlin: Ah, I see you have a source of magic, lass.

Dolly: Yeah. I don't need to train with it.

Merlin decided to leave it be and let them see Pooh. Sora and Dolly opened their eyes to a small vegetable farm and a house built into a tree. Sora and Dolly found Pooh and Piglet around the back.

Piglet: Sora, Dolly, Rabbit's house came back.

Dolly: Is anyone home?

Piglet: Pooh's been calling but no one is answering.

Sora: Dolly, stay with them. I'm gonna look around.

Sora went around to the front door and went inside. Meanwhile, Pooh went through the hole in the back. Sora saw a yellow rabbit sigh in dismay as Pooh came in.

Pooh: Hello, Rabbit.

Rabbit: Hello, Pooh.

Pooh: (As Dolly came in) I'd like you to meet my new friends, Sora and Dolly.

Sora: Hi, there.

Dolly: Hey.

Rabbit: Nice to meet you both. I'm sorry, Pooh, but I don't have any honey right now.

Pooh sighed in disappointment and decided to leave. He started to go through the hole he came in but got stuck outside. Everyone went out and tried to pull Pooh out but failed.

Rabbit: I know. Carrot Juice. It'll slim him down and he'll slide out.

Dolly: Good idea.

Sora and Dolly went to go get some carrots as an orange and black tiger came towards them, bouncing on his tail. This was Tigger. He bounced happily and unintentionally knocked Sora down.

Tigger: Hey, there! Name's Tigger! T-I-double guh-RR. That spells Tigger! (Getting a look at Sora and Dolly) Well, now! I don't think I've seen either of you before!

Pooh: (As Dolly helped Sora up) Hello, Tigger. You've just bounced my new friends, Sora and Dolly.

Tigger: Hey, Pooh! Stuck again? Well, let's get you out of there.

With Tigger's help, everyone managed to get enough carrots to make plenty of carrot juice. Pooh drunk it and everyone pulled hard enough that Pooh popped out and rolled away. Dolly picked up Piglet and Sora led them to Pooh. They found him later looking down at a stream on a bridge.

Sora: Pooh, you okay?

Pooh: Yes, I'm fine.

Dolly looked down and saw a plush donkey floating up. This was Eeyore.

Piglet: Oh, dear. Eeyore needs help.

Sora and Dolly jumped down and grabbed Eeyore before he floated away.

Sora: Hi, Eeyore. Are you okay?

Eeyore: Yes, I'm fine. Thank you for getting me out of the water.

Dolly saw what looked like a tail and put it on Eeyore.

Dolly: There.

Eeyore: Thank you. I'm glad you both came to help.

Dolly started smiling again. She was glad to help someone in need. Suddenly, Sora and Dolly were pulled back to Merlin's hut.

Sora: Feel better?

Dolly: (Smiling) Actually, yeah.
