All right, fans. Like I said at the end of the last chapter, I'm putting this one up sooner because the visits to the 100 Acre Wood are short, so I figured I'll post them right after they find the torn pages and all. So, here's where Sora enters the book and meets Pooh and the others.
After leaving Agrabah, the four friends talked over the items they'd found on the new world as well as the abilities they learned.
"We can revisit some places and unseal more Trinities," Sora declared.
"Wasn't there a Trinity Mark in the accessory shop?" Goofy asked.
"Yeah. It was green and we just learned to unseal green marks," Jim replied.
Sora then pulled out the torn page they'd found. "Could this torn page be from Merlin's book?"
"Let's return to town and give it to him," Goofy responded.
And so, they fired up the warp drive gummi, instantaneously transporting themselves back to Traverse Town, where they landed directly in the mystical house.
Once there, Sora opened up the book to see if the torn page had fit, but no sooner after he did, did the book start to glow and then transported him directly into the pages, where there were several blank spots on the book.
The next thing the young boy new, one of the blank spaces turned into an image with a small wooden house in an empty meadow.
Sora approached the picture and suddenly he found himself standing in that meadow, where on a wooden log, sat a small yellow bear wearing an orange shirt.
"Think, think. Think, think," the little bear said tapping himself on the head.
Sora approached the small critter. "Hi, there. What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Just thinking," replied the little bear.
"Oh," said the small boy.
"I was just thinking of how to say goodbye to Pooh."
"Pooh?" Sora asked.
"Yes?" the bear asked back.
"Wait a second. You're Pooh?" Sora asked and sat on the log next to him.
"Yes. I'm Winnie the Pooh. Pooh for short. Who are you?"
"I'm Sora."
"Oh. Hello, Sora. Have you come to say goodbye to Pooh, too?"
"Well, no. Why would I do that? We've only just met."
"Because everyone's gone away."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, we all lived here in the 100 Acre Wood," Pooh explained. "And we'd take walks together or play Pooh sticks. And every day I'd eat some honey." He put his hands to his growling stomach. "Just one small smackeral would taste very good right now. But now everyone's gone. All my friends, and my favorite honey tree, too. Everyone must have gone away while I was napping. I think." Pooh jumped off the log. "So, who knows? Maybe I shall end up going away somewhere as well. But I wonder, how do I say goodbye to myself?" He put his hands to his head once more. "Think, think, think. Oh, my tumbly is getting rather rumbly."
With all that said, Pooh walked off and Sora did shortly after, exiting the pages and ended up back outside of the book, where another blank image had turned into one with a tree made into a small house.
Sora approached the new image, entering the book world once more, and he'd found himself in front of the house in the tree hollow. Entering the small house, he was greeted by the sight of Pooh, looking into an empty honey jar.
"Oh, bother. There's no more honey left," Pooh said in disappointment. "If only the honey tree would visit, then I could eat my fill.
Knowing he couldn't go any further from in here, Sora exited Pooh Bear's house and was greeted by another resident of the 100 Acre wood, Owl.
"Let me guess: You'd like to know what happens next," Owl said to the young boy. "Unfortunately, some of the pages are missing, so I can't tell you yet. The pages are scattered over many worlds. Would you find them for us?"
Once more, Sora exited the world inside and found that another blank space on the book had become a picture with a tall tree and he entered that new space, finding himself standing in a meadow where that tree resided.
"Hello, is anyone there?" a small voice asked and from the hollow log that sat in front of the tree, came out a small piglet, named Piglet. "What am I to do? I'm all alone." the little piglet said in worry. "Pooh? Pooh, where are you? It's me, Piglet." The little critter then turned around to see Sora standing right above him, causing him to run away in fright and hide in the bushes next to the tree.
After trying to find a way to get him to come out of hiding, Sora approached Piglet.
"Oh, dear!" Piglet stuttered frantically. "I was just... Never mind. I'm sorry!"
Sora knelt down to the frightened little piglet. "Don't be scared. You're looking for Pooh, right?"
"You know Pooh?" Piglet asked and he breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, you see. I have something for him. I have to take it to Pooh, right away!" And then he turned to see said bear approaching the tree. "Oh, Pooh!" And he ran over to greet him.
Pooh took a sniff and looked to the tall tree. "Oh, I believe I smell a delicious something. A something like honey!"
"Pooh!" Piglet said running towards him.
"Hello, Piglet. How have you been?"
"Oh, I'm so glad to see you. I thought you'd gone away. I brought what you asked for," Piglet said and gave him a blue balloon.
"Thank you, Piglet. Now I can finally have some honey.'
"Really? But how?"
"I shall hold onto 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 realized he hadn't thought of that, and he looked to Sora. "Would you help me get some honey?"
"Sure!" Sora responded.
Owl then flew down and stood on one of the tree branches.
"Oh, hello there, Owl," Pooh greeted.
"Good day, Pooh. What are you doing? Using a balloon to get some honey? Splendid idea! Allow me to offer a few pointers." Owl said flying up to a higher branch. "Ahem! Now, Pooh can get honey by floating up this tree with his balloon." He explained and gestured to a several tree hollows up the tree, as well as several beehives hanging from the branches. "The honey is inside the tree hollows, not the beehives you see here." He flew up once more to one of the hollows. "There's quite a lot of honey in these holes. If Pooh gets too close, the bees will come out to protect their honey. If they get to Pooh, they'll pop his balloon. Lock onto the bees and swat them away. The more time Pooh has at each hollow, the more honey he can eat. There's more honey higher up, too. If jumping from branch to branch proves difficult, try the Rush command. Rush can help you catch up to Pooh quickly. But it isn't fully reliable. Good luck."
Once he finished giving them advice, Owl flew off and Sora helped Pooh get the balloon floating up towards the tree hollows, sticking right by his side, swatting away any bees that came too close, allowing Pooh to eat his fill of honey.
"It is rather funny what I will do for hone," Pooh chuckled eating away at the hollow full of honey.
Once Pooh had his fill of honey, Sora exited the book, and the torn page had turned to a green summon gem with a design of a meadow called a Naturespark.
Outside of the book, back in Merlin's house Sora and friends approached the Fairy Godmother and showed her the summon gem.
"Oh, another summon gem? Let's help the little one. Here we go!" And then she waved her wand. "Bibbity bobbity boo!"
Fairy Godmother had unleashed the spirit in the summon gem and they were met with the spirit of a young and small deer named Bambi, who then vanished.
"If you find any more of these stones, bring them to me," Fairy Godmother advised.
With the torn page returned to the book and a new summon spell learned, the four continued on with their journey.
All right that's all for this one. A short chapter, I know but I hope you all liked it anyway. Next time it will be Monstro, because on their way to the next world, the ship gets swallowed up by him as you all know. And here's a little something I'll share with you all; I know that one of the next two worlds is either Atlantica or Halloween Town, but I never realized which was which. Then I caught onto something. In the world map, Halloween Town is above, and Atlantica is below. Like land and sea, that's how it became easy to remember. Anyhow, I hope you liked the chapter. Please read, review and enjoy.
