Chapter XXX

"I'm so grateful that I have something that is hard to say goodbye to." ~Winnie the Pooh
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I walked to a plaza that was surrounded by empty garden beds, just like back in my memories. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, where I was met by the familiar strong sweet scent of blooming flowers.

My eyes snapped open suddenly, the garden beds were filled to the brim with flowers, just like before. I blinked as I took a step back. The plaza was glowing as I looked up, shielding my eyes as I saw the bright sun shone down from the clear blue sky. A strong breeze blew, my hair flying up as the flower petals flew around.

As I looked around, I heard I giggle. I glanced over to see two children, both girls. One of them had jet black hair in a ruffled white dress with a blue ribbon around her neck and was standing over girl with short, red hair in a white sleeveless sundress with two purple stripes running along the chest portion of the dress. The black haired girl seems to be placing a flower crown on red head and both of them were giggling. As I approached them closer to get a better look at them, they heard me and slowly turned around. Just before their faces was in view, a bright light flashed and I looked away. Once I looked back, I was met with the empty, lifeless plaza.

A shiver ran up my spin as I grabbed my arms and rubbing them, though I wasn't necessarily cold. I felt my stomach twisting as a strong sense of nostalgia ran through me. I felt creeped out being here, as I felt like it was haunted. I left the plaza quickly, wanting to get out of here.

I went back into town, looking for Sora to get my mind off of what I had just experienced. "Sora? Sora!" I called out, passing by a shop with an open door where I heard Sora's voice.

"Wow, you can see into the future?" Sora asked. "That's so cool! Are you some kind of fortune-teller?"

"Why, yes am I," A voice laughed. It sounded female and a bit soft yet deep, showing her maturity.

"Yeah!" Sora replied. "Can you tell my future?"

"Sora!" I yelled from the outside. "What are you doing in there?"

"Oh!" Sora said, hearing my voice. "I'm about to have my future told!"

I mean, that was cool and all, but I still felt spooked from whatever I experienced earlier I glanced to the side, the plaza still in view. Even though I had a flashback attack before this, it wasn't like that one I just had. It felt more real this time and I wanted to get out of here or as far away from that plaza as possible. "Sora, come on!" I snapped.

"Wait!" Sora pleaded. "Let me finish what I want to do here first!"

"Do you not want to see Pooh?" I sighed, being petty so I can get out of here.

"Oh, right!" Sora said. "Um, sorry, I really have to go with my friend! I'll be back soon!"

"That's quite alright," the voice assured.

"Bye!" Sora waved as he, Donald and Goofy left the shop.

"Farewell..." the voice muttered from inside as I grabbed Sora's arm and yanked him to Merlin's home.

"Woah, woah!" Sora sputtered, digging his heal unto the paved road. "What got you so worked up?"

"N-Nothing..." I replied. "Just saw something spooky and I want to get out of here."

"Really?" Sora asked. "What did you see?"

"A...memory," I sighed.

"Wow, really?" Sora's face lit up. "That's awesome! You're starting to remember your past! Tell me, what did you see?"

"Plaza filled with flowers," I explained as I continued to drag him. "Two girls, making flower crowns and placing them on their heads. Didn't get a good look at their faces though."

"Saki, why are you so spooked about a memory?" Sora asked me as we stopped in front of Merlin's house. "Aren't you happy you're finally remembering your past?"

"It's just..." I started as I squeezed Sora's hand, tightening my grip around it. Sora noticed that and stayed quiet. "I don't know...it felt like I was walking in a dream, but at the same time it was so real...I can't really explain it, okay?"

We entered Merlin's house and I opened the book, seeing that the pages were put back together but all of the places we explored didn't appear on the map. Sora and I jumped into the book, heading to the first pop-up that was on the map, which was a tree with a house built inside it. As soon as we reached it and I touched the pop up, the environment around us began to grow and become real to the touch. Well...as real as being inside a book can get, that is.

Sora and I walked down the path. A strong breeze blew and I held down my skirt to prevent it from flying up and showing off what I had underneath. A small branch hit the back of Sora's head. "Ouch!" He cried. "Wonder if Pooh's here..."

Another strong breeze blew at us and Piglet flew right past Sora and I while being carried by the breeze. "Oh, help, help! Somebody save me!" He screamed.

"Piglet!" I cried as he grabbed hold of a branch.

"Sora! Sakura! Help! Pease!" He pleaded.

"Hold on, little guy!" Sora called back.

I grabbed the tree and started to climb up it slowly. Once I reached the top, I grabbed Piglet by the collar and hung off the branch. We swung a bit before I let go and we fall. Piglet screeched but I landed gracefully on my feet, still holding onto him. Piglet sighed with relief as I put him down. "There you go!" I smiled.

"Whew! Thanks Sakura!" Piglet thanked me. "Oh, here comes Pooh Bear."

Pooh came waddling over. "Pooh! You're all right!" Sora sighed with relief.

"Why, hello," He smiled. "It's nice to meet you. Happy Windsday."

"Nice to m-meet you?" Piglet sputtered. "But Pooh. I's me, Piglet. Don't you remember me?"

"And us too?" Sora asked. "We're all friends!"

"We are?" Pooh looked confused. He got into his thinking position with his fist hitting his head and a serious look on his face. "Hmm...it seems I can't remember."

"Oh, Pooh..." Piglet slumped. "That's v-v-very sad!" He walked away slowly, hand over his eyes, sniffling. Another strong breeze blew him into the air. "Good-bye Sakura! Good-bye Sakura! Good-bye Pooh!" He yelled while flying around.

"Piglet..." sora said  Owl flew down and sat by the tree roots.

"Oh my," he commented. "That looks rather fun, doesn't it? I say, it seems we have a rather serious predicament! Sora, Sakura, would you mind going after poor Piglet?"

He gave us both two red balloons. I held onto mine as Sora put Pooh on his hip before grabbing hold of his. Despite how much we all weighed, the balloon pulled us up with ease. We floated over to Piglet but the breeze blew him away, bright it brought tumbleweeds towards us. I casted Aero, drawing all the tumbleweeds together as they collided and fell from the sky. Sora and I continued our way towards Piglet. Once he was close enough to me, I reached out and grabbed Piglet. "Got you!" I yelled. Another breeze blew and it blew Piglet away from me. I cursed as I watched it carry piglet back into the branch he was blown into.

Sora cupped his hands and yelled, "Jump down, Piglet! I'll catch you!"

Piglet clung even tighter to the branch and looked away, "Oh d-d-dear!"

"You can do it, Piglet!" Sora encouraged. "You just have to be brave!"

"Sora..." He said as Sora held his hands out, trying to assure him that he'll catch him. "All right, Sora. I'll t-try..."

Piglet covered his eyes and took a leap of faith. Sora reached his arms out, but his aim was off. Instead, he landed in Pooh's arms. Pooh fell down from the force of the fall as he placed Piglet back down on the ground. "Oh, that was rather frightening," he smiled. "I do hope that you're alright, Piglet."

"Oh, P-Pooh!" Piglet gasped. "You remembered my name? You really, truly remembered?"

"Of course, Piglet," Pooh assured. "But today, I think I'll call you 'my friend Piglet who is very brave'!"

"Me" Piglet pointed at himself. "Very brave? No...but it's easy to be brave when I have a wonderful friend like you, Pooh Bear!"

"I'm very happy for you guys," Sora smiled. So, it seems as I go through this book, Pooh regains his memory like last time?

"Oh," Pooh added. "And thank you for rescuing my friend Piglet...Somebodies-I-Don't-Know."

"Oh..." Sora's face fell. Looks like he didn't regain all of his memories. "Uh, sure. Don't mention it."

Just as he said that, the environment around us turned into illustrations and we emerged back onto the page with the pop-up illustrations. Another one appeared from an orb of light and sparkles and Sora and I approached it. The scenery around me changed. At first, it grew and began to look like the pop-up image, but the illustrations became to look like real-life things and we were back in the Hundred Acre Woods. Pooh was flying around on his blue balloon and Eeyore was by his house made of sticks.

Piglet ran up to me and saw Pooh sinking right onto Eeyore's house. "Oh d-d-dear!" He cried.

"C'mon!" Sora shouted.

We ran over to Eeyore but Pooh already landed in his house and destroyed it, releasing the balloon he was holding. "Eeyore, Pooh," Sora said. "Are you okay? Gosh, that's too bad, Eeyore. After all that work..."

"No matter," Eeyore replied in his usual depressed voice. "Most likely would have fallen down anyway."

"Well, I'll help you fix your house, Eeyore," Piglet offered.

"Oh, hello there, Piglet," Eeyore greeted. "Thanks for offerin'. Wouldn't want to spoil your fun day, though."

"Well hello, Piglet," Pooh said as he stood up from the log he was siting on. "And hello, Somebody-I-Don't-Know."

"Pooh, this is Eeyore," I reminded him. "You know Eeyore, don't you?"

"Um, I do?" Pooh asked as he got into his thinking position.

"What could've happened to him?" Sora wondered as pooh';s stomach began to growl.

"Oh, I have an idea!" Piglet yelled. "Pooh's tummy is probably rumbly that it's making him forget. If we bring him some honey, he's sure to remember!"

"That could work...." I muttered.

"Might work," Eeyore sighed. "But prob'ly not."

"First, we gotta find some honey," Sora stated.

"If honey's what you're looking for, I know just the place," Eeyore replied. "Follow me." Eeyore led us beside a hill where a stack of honey pots was. "This is the place I told you about."

"Wow, look at that!" Sora exclaimed.

"How yummy for my tummy!" Pooh said as he went over and  sat down, taking a pot and scooping the honey out from it and putting the hand into his mouth.

"But doesn't that honey belong to someone?" Piglet asked.

Once Pooh had finished all the honey, Rabbit came by with another pot and gasped at Pooh. "Oh, no!" He cried. "My honey! Pooh, did you eat ALL my honey?!"

"Oh, hello," Pooh gave a friendly smile. "It's nice to meet you.

"What did you say?" Rabbit sputtered.

"Is that for me, too?" Pooh eyed the pot rabbit was carrying. Pooh came up to Rabbit and took the pot from his hand and began to eat out from it.

Rabbit slumped over. "Oh, I was sure I'd found a safe place for it, too..." he sighed with defeat and exhaustion.

"Sorry," Sora apologized. "It's our fault. We brought Pooh here."

"Oh, hello, Sora, Sakura...it's good to see you two again," Rabbit greeted us.

"Same here...we really are sorry," Sora apologized again.

"It's quite all right," Rabbit replied. "I know Pooh can't be stopped when he gets this hungry."

Once Pooh was finished, he stood back up and faced Rabbit. "Pardon me, Somebody-I-Don't-Know. Is there any more?" He asked.

Rabbit crossed his arms, a look of confusion on his face, "Are you feeling all right, Pooh? Could you really have forgotten all about me? What on earth is going on?"

"Is there more hunny?" Pooh continued, ignoring Rabbit's questions. "You see, my tummy's quite rumbly."

"That's it!" Rabbit yelled. "He's so hungry, he can't remember a thing!"

"Oh! We thought that, too," Piglet agreed.

"Then let's stuff this bear full of honey!" Rabbit said.

"I wouldn't get my hopes up," Eeyore sighed.

"But I thought Pooh ate all your honey, Rabbit?" Sora asked.

"Oh, I've got more," Rabbit replied. "Must have emergency rations. But I hid them a bit too well."

"I'll go and look for them," Sora offered.

"You need my help?" I asked.

"I'm sure I'll be fine," he insisted as he went off with Pooh trailing close behind him on the promise of honey.

*~*~*~*~*~

A while has passed since Sora went off to find honey with Pooh and they were no where in sight. I was starting to get anxious and wondered if I should go searching for them. I saw a flash of color by the hill. I squinted, walking closer to the hill trying to see the source of where that came from. Suddenly, Sora and Pooh came up from the hill and down, crashing right into me. I screamed as I was tackled by Sora and Pooh. I sat on the ground with Sora and Pooh, who both very holding large armfuls of honey pots with a very angry look on my face. "Sora!" I yelled. "Collecting honey shouldn't endanger the lives of others!"

"Sorry..." he laughed. "We kinda got carried away."

"I noticed," I snorted as I took some of the pots from them and help them carry them over to rabbit's house.

Rabbit sighed with relief when Sora, Pooh, and I returned with several pots of honey. "There, Pooh," he said. "Have just as much as you like."

"Why, thank you," Pooh went over and sat down, beginning to eat all the honey.

When he got up once he was finished, Pooh stood up and asked, "Parson me, Somebody, but do you know where I might find a smackeral or two of hunny?" We slumped, feeling our current work was all for nothing. Pooh waddled over to Rabbit's hole to his house. "My tummy seems to be telling me there's some hunny right in there" He smiled as he climbed in. "Bother. I'm stuck."

"He still doesn't remember," Rabbit sighed. "What in the world has gotten into Pooh Bear?"

"Whatever it is, we'd better help him," Sora said.

"Oh, yes. And quickly, too!" Piglet gulped.

"Oh, stuff and fluff," Pooh cursed as he waved his feet around.

Sora grabbed Pooh's legs, I grabbed Sora's waist, Rabbit grabbed my waist, Piglet grabbed his tail, and Eeyore held onto Piglet's ears. "One...two...three!" We yelled, pulling back.

Pooh came flying out and he landed, getting back into his signature thinking position. "You're okay now, pooh," Sora assured him.

"Well, I wouldn't be so sure of that if I were you," Rabbit said. "Why, just-just look at him! He doesn't even remember who I am. Perhaps it's all this blustery wind, or-or maybe he actually needs more honey! Or he's-he's sleepwalking and-and dreaming!"

"Well, if I am dreaming-which I suppose I could be-I hope that I get to the part where you invite me to lunch again very soon, Rabbit," Pooh smiled.

"That's right, you're always stopping by for lunch!" He gasped. "Wait! Pooh! You called me 'Rabbit'!"

"Well, of course Rabbit," Pooh replied,

"What about Eeyore?" Piglet asked Pooh. "Do you remember Eeyore, too, Pooh?

"Oh, hello there, Eeyore," Pooh waved. "It's ever so nice to see you today."

"Thanks for noticing me, Pooh Bear," Eeyore smiled.

Sora squatted down to Pooh's level and pointed t the two of us. "And hello to you, too, Somebodies-I-Don't-Know!" he said.

We slumped. "Guess you still don't remember much..." I muttered.

"Well, at least you remember Rabbit and Eeyore now," Sora smiled.

They all turned into illustrations and we reappeared back on the page as another pop-up image appeared. We approached it and the scenery around us changed. It grew bigger and more realistic. Sora and I were walking down a path when we spotted Pooh and Piglet. "Hi!" Sora greeted the two.

"Well, hello, Sora, Sakura!" Piglet grinned.

"Yes, hello there, Somebodies-I-Don't-Know," Pooh nodded.

Kanga with Roo in her pouch jumped toward us. She had a medicine bottle in hand. "Eeyore told me Pooh wasn't quite himself," she explained. "I thought this might be just what the poor dear needed."

"Yeah, I hope it'll make Pooh better!" Roo smiled.

Tigger entered the scene, bouncing on his tail as he jumped into the air, whooping. "A present!" He cried, gesturing to the medicine bottle. "For me? Why, presents are what Tiggers like best! And it's not even my birthday!"

Tigger snatched the bottle and began to bounce away, singing some tune to himself. "But Tigger!" Kanga yelled. "That's not for you!"

"Wait, Tigger!" Roo shouted as he bounced after Tigger.

"Oh, dear!" Piglet gasped.

"C'mon, let's go after him," Sora said. That bottle Tigger took was medicine for Pooh!" Kanga yelled. "Could you please go after him?"

We followed Roo with Piglet and found Tigger. We broke down and explained the current situation at hand to him. "You're saying Pooh even forgot about ME?!" He cried.

"Yes, Tigger," Piglet nodded,

"That bottle you thought was a present was medicine to make Pooh better," Sora explained.

"Aw, who needs medicine?!" Tigger laughed. "Why, some tiggeriffic bouncing will jog his memory for sure!" Tigger began to bounce around on his tail, holding onto his legs. "Well, Pooh?"

"That looks like fun, Somebody-I-Don't-Know," Pooh said.

"Nothing, hm?" Tigger muttered. "Hmm...of cours! We all gotta bounce together! That'll do the trick!"

Tigger bounced off and we followed him out from Kanga's place and to wherever he went. There was a long piece of blue cloth tied to two trees. "Is that a makeshift trampoline?" I asked.

"It's my bouncing place!" Tigger yelled. "Only this one allows all of us to bounce as high as we want to!" Roo and Pooh climbed on and Tigger jumped onto it. We climbed on and began to bounce. It was just like a trampoline. Sora did a little back flip and I cartwheeled. We bumped into each other and fell down, laughing. We got up and started to jump around some more.

"This really is fun!" I grinned.

Once we had our fill of bouncing around, we all laid down on the trampoline, gasping and laughing from all the jumping. We climbed off of the trampoline and Tigger told Pooh, "I bet you remember me now, don't you, buddy-bear!"

"Well, I remember that bouncing always makes me hungry," Pooh smiled.

"All that bouncin' and he still doesn't remember me?" Tiger slumped in defeat. "Well, I guess bouncin' not the answer. It makes a Tigger almost never wanna bounce again..."

Tigger looked at the medicine bottle and threw it out. "Oh, please be careful with that," Piglet said.

"Aw, sorry Piglet...but Pooh not rememberin' me has left me confuzled" he sniffed. "I don't even feel like bouncin'!"

"Oh, but Tigger," Pooh replied gently. "I always thought that bouncing was what Tiggers do best."

Tigger's ears perked up and he turned around. "Pooh Boy! You remember me! You do remember your good ol' buddy Tigger after all!" Tigger shouted with joy as he bounced around with happiness with Roo joining in with the fun.

Suddenly, Tigger froze in midair. Everyone and everything turned into an illustration and we popped out of pop-up image and another picture appeared, looking to be a cave. Sora and I approached it and the cave grew bigger. Then, it grew realistic and we were walking into the dark cave. Rabbit, Piglet, Kanga, Roo, Owl, Gopher, Eeyore, and Piglet were in it. "Hey, everyone..." Sora waved. Everyone turned once they saw us but Pooh was no where in sight. "Uh-oh...Where's Pooh?"

"He went in there," Piglet pointed down the path in the dark cave.

"Do you think there might be a jagular hiding  inside?" Rabbit gulped.

"Jagular...well, now," Owl started. "That reminds of a story of my dear cousin Alphonse--"

"Say, why are you all sitting around here?" Sora asked. "If you're worried about that bear, let's go find him!"

"That's exactly that I was thinking!" Tigger snapped his fingers.

"Yeah, let's go!" Roo nodded.

"But, if there really is a jagular, we'd better think this through," Rabbit said.

"It seems we've got a bit of time," Owl pondered. "Why don't I just resume where I left off? My cousin-that is, my father's younger sister's--"

"What do you both think we should do, Sora, Sakura?" Kanga interrupted Owl.

"Let's get looking!" Sora state and we ventured forward.

Sora and I were in the front and everyone was behind us. " Follow us and listen to what we say," I instructed.

They all nodded and Sora and I made our way into the cave. Some rocks fell from above and everyone panicked. They started to run around. "Calm down!" I shouted

Everyone settled down and Sora bent down. "Ready to go?" He gestured behind him.

"Yes!" Everyone cheered.

We continued forward. "Wow, I really do feel like some camp counselor leading some campers," I said to Sora.

Suddenly, screams were heard behind us and we whipped our heads around to see a few swarms of bees flying around the group. They were frozen, hands over their heads as they quivered in fear. Sora and I drew our Keyblades as we swatted the bees, sending them away.

"Everyone alright?" Sora asked.

"Yeah!" Everyone chorused.

We continued forward. "You know, Sora, really do a good calming everyone--" I started but I yelped as I slipped on something and fell. Sora fell as well and I slid across the floor. Lifting my head up, I tried to get up but I fell once again. I looked at the surface beneath me and saw it was ice. The walls were lined with crystals. Everyone looked anxious, seeing we had fell but Sora and I wobbled as we got back up, holding onto the walls. We gave a thumbs up as they crossed the ice slowly.

Once we got across the ice, we saw the cave had split into multiple pathways. Sora and I chose to go down the one on the far left. As we turned the corner, another rock fell but we stopped the group in time so they could see it coming. We continued forward as the crystals spread from the walls and into the ceiling. Once we turned the corner, we saw Pooh sitting in a room that which the walls and ceiling were consumed by crystals.

I breathed a sigh of relief, glad Pooh was alright as Sora and I approached him. Pooh was sitting down in his usual thinking position. "Pooh!" Sora cried, bending down so he was at Pooh's level. "There you are." Everyone gathered around Pooh, as we were glad he was alright. "Hey...we looked everywhere for you."

"I was looking for two very dear friends that I remembered I made a very important promise to," Pooh explained.

"So, did you find them?" Sora asked.

"No," Pooh sighed with defeat. "I looked and looked. But they didn't seem to be anywhere."

Tigger leapt, knocking Pooh off where he was sitting. "Oh, Pooh Boy!" He smiled. "So there you are."

"But, Tigger, did you have to bounce me so...bounce-ily?" Pooh sighed.

"Gosh, I thought a jagular had gotten ya!" Tigger said.

Pooh began to think some more, "Oh dear. I hadn't thought of that. I do hope a jagular hasn't gone and gobbles up my two friends!"

"Now try to remember, Pooh. Isn't Sora and Sakura the ones you're looking for?" Kanga asked.

Pooh stomach growled. "Oh no, the jagular!" He cried.

"Pooh, that's just your tummy grumbling," Sora assured Pooh as he took his hand. "You must be hungry. C'mon...let's head home and see if we can find you some honey.

"If like that, Sora, Sakura," Pooh nodded.

My face lit up upon hearing my name being said. "Pooh!" Sora shouted. "You-you finally remembered us!"

"Remember what, Sora?" Pooh tipped his head to the side with confusion.

"Pooh..." Sora smiled softly.

"I like it ever so much when you're both cheerful, Sora, Sakura," Pooh said.

"Us too, Pooh," Sora replied.

Pooh's stomach continued to growl. "Oh...there is a bit of a rumbly in my tumbly," Pooh rubbed his stomach.

"All right. Then let's go home!" Sora and I held our hands out and Pooh took them as we lead him and everyone else out of the cave.

The whole scenery then turned into an illustration and we were back on the page and another pop-up appeared. It was a hill with a great big oak tree lit up by the moon. Sora and I approached it as the pop-up grew bigger and bigger until it was as big as it could get and the illustration turned into a realistic scenery.

In the moonlight, Sora and I crossed the bridge, looking for Pooh or anyone else that we knew. "Oh, bother!" A voice cried..

Sora and I looked up the hill to see Pooh with a honey pot on his head. "Pooh!" I shrieked, fearing that he might suffocate in that.

"Are you all right?" Sora yelled.

"Sora? Sakura?" Pooh yelled back. "Are you both here? Help!"

Sora and I ran up the hill and we reached Pooh. I grabbed Pooh and held him there while Sora grabbed the pot. He pulled and the pot came out. Sora stumbled but he kept his balance and didn't roll down the hill. Pooh sat down on the log and Sora put down the honey pot and he and I sat down on both sides of him.

"Pooh, what were you doing here?" I asked.

"I was thinking: perhaps there's a way for me to make it so that you two won't go away," he replied.

"You mean a way to make us stay?" Sora restated What Pooh just said to us.

"Yes," Pooh nodded. "Would there be such a thing as a way to make it so you don't go away again?"

"Pooh..." I started, unsure how to respond.

"Don't worry," Sora assured. "We promise we'll come back and visit you every now and then."

"Could you make it, 'now and now' instead?" Pooh begged. "That seems a bit better to me. Sora, Sakura, if I go looking for you two, will I find you two?"

"Silly old bear," I giggled. "We'll always be with you-right here." I poked Pooh's heart as he touched the spot that I had poked him. "You don't have to go anywhere."

"Just stay here, and you can see us anytime you want," Sora added.

"You mean I just have to stay right here?" Pooh asked.

"Yep, that's all," Sora nodded.

"Would you promise?" Pooh said.

"Promise!" Sora and I nodded.

"I promise too!" A voice yelled. Piglet was with us on the log.

Kanga, Roo, Owl, Gopher, Eeyore, Tigger, and Rabbit came up the hill where we were currently at. "And so do Roo and I," Kanga said.

"We sure do!" Roo shouted.

"You two are welcome to visit us anytime, Sora, Sakura," Rabbit offered.

"Thanks," Sora thanked him.

"After all, I must tell you of my Uncle Albert adventures at sea," Owl smiled.

"Guess you'll be stayin' awhile," Eeyore groaned.

"Yeah," I laughed.

"Good-bye, Sora. Good-bye, Sakura," Gopher whistled.

"Thanks, Gopher," Sora said.

"If you ever get lonely, just start bouncin' and think your pal Tigger!" Tigger stated.

"We will, Tigger!" I smiled.

Sora and I got off the long. "You're leaving?" Pooh asked with sadness.

"Yes," Sora nodded sadly. "We really have to go."

"Well, I won't be sad, because you'll always be right here forever and ever," Pooh smiled as he placed his paw over his heart. "Right, Sora, Sakura?"

Sora and I looked around to get a good look at everyone. "And all of you, are right here, too," Sora and I said together as we placed a hand over our hearts.

"See ya!" Sora yelled as he and I jumped down the hill and went back on the pathway, turning back around one last time to look at everyone. We gave them one final wave as they all waved goodbye to us as well. Sora and I continued onward until we disappeared into sparkles.

We exited the book and watched as it was on the last page; Pooh Bear and the gang, waving goodbye as Sora and I were just a little speck on the page. As the book shut, the torn up cover glowed to reveal a new cover. Sora and I, with Pooh sitting between us, looking up at the starry night sky atop a hill.
