Welcome to the Hundred Acre Wood/Memories of Meg

This is how Ryan went to the Hundred Acre Wood and how he has a Memory of Meg in Ryan's Quest.

Ryan opens the old book on the nightstand and with a flash, he lands on its pages. A house of sticks appears on the map and he runs over to it, entering an empty meadow. He walks up to a large log, where a stuffed toy bear wearing a small red shirt is seated, tapping his forehead

????: Think, think. Think, think.

Ryan: Hi there. What’s wrong?

????: Nothing. Just thinking.

Ryan: Oh.

????: I was thinking of how to say goodbye to Pooh.

Ryan: Pooh?

Pooh (answering): Yes?

Ryan (sitting beside him): Wait a second. You’re Pooh?

Pooh: Yes, I’m Winnie the Pooh. Pooh for short. Who are you?

Ryan: I’m Ryan F-Freeman. But you can call me Ryan for short.

Pooh: Oh. Hello, Ryan. Have you come to say goodbye to Pooh, too?

His face turns sad

Ryan: Well, no. Why would I do that? We’ve only just met.

Pooh: Because everyone’s gone away.

Sora: What do you mean?

Ryan: Well, we all lived here in the Hundred Acre Wood. And we’d take walks together, or play Pooh sticks... And every day, I’d eat some honey. Just one small smackeral would taste very good right now.

He rubs his tummy

Ryan: But now everyone’s gone. All my friends, and my favorite Hunny Tree too. Everyone must’ve gone away while I was napping, I think... So, who knows?

He hops off the log

Pooh: Maybe I shall end up going away somewhere as well. But I wonder, how do I say goodbye to myself?

He puts his hands on his head

Pooh: Think, think, think.

Ryan stared him

Pooh: Oh, my tumbly is getting rather rumbly.

Ryab watches him walk off. He follows the bear to a house built into a tree. Above the door of the house is hung an odd sign reading “MR. SANDERZ” with a backwards N. Next to it is a bell with a misspelled note reading “Rnig also”. Sora enters the house, seeing Ryan gazing inside a honey pot

Pooh: Oh, bother. There’s no more honey left. If only the Hunny Tree would visit... Then I could eat my fill.

He stands up and leaves the house.

At the Honey Tree

??: Hello, i-is anyone there?

From inside a log nearby, a small piglet walks out, looking around nervously

??????: Wh-Wh-What am I to do? I’m all alone. (calling) Pooh? Pooh? Where are you? It’s me, Piglet.

He turns around and a shadow creeps over him. He looks up to see Ryan towering over him and runs away behind the tree. He peeks out from its trunk, checking to see if Ryan us gone. Ryan sneaks up behind him and he stands frozen in place, completely terrified

Piglet: Oh dear! I was j-just... N-Never mind. I’m sorry!

Piglet closes his eyes and Ryan kneels down to his level

Ryan: Don’t be scared. You’re looking for Pooh, right?

Piglet: You know Pooh?

He sighs with relief

Piglet: Oh, y-you see, I-I have something for him. I have to take it to Pooh right away!

He turns, seeing Winnie the Pooh walking towards the tree

Piglet (calling): Oh, Pooh!

He runs to meet the bear, who begins sniffing the air, smiling

Pooh: Oh, I believe I smell a delicious something—a something like honey!

Piglet: Pooh!

Piglet meets him in front of the tree

Pooh: Hello, Piglet. How have you been?

Piglet: Oh, I-I’m so glad to see you. I thought you’d gone away. I brought wh-what you asked for.

He gives Pooh a blue balloon

Pooh: Thank you, Piglet. Now I can finally have some honey.

Piglet: Really? B-But how?

Pooh: I shall hold on to the balloon, and fly like a bee up the Hunny Tree, see.

Piglet: But if you take their honey, won’t the bees be angry?

Pooh: Hmm...

He stares at the balloon, thinking

Pooh: Oh!

Ryan walks over to them

Pooh: If you could only chase away those bees, I’m quite certain I could get a small morsel of honey. Would you help me get some honey?

Ryan: Sure!

Owl lands on a branch above them

Pooh: Oh. Hello there, Owl.

Owl: Good day, Pooh. What are you doing? Using a balloon to get some honey? Splendid idea! Allow me to offer a few pointers.

He flies to a higher branch

Owl: Ahem! Now, Pooh can get honey by floating up this tree with his balloon. The honey is inside the tree hollows, not the beehives you see here.

He flies to an even higher branc)

Owl: 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 Rush. Rush can help you catch up to Pooh quickly. But it isn’t fully reliable. Good luck.

Ryan helps toss Pooh into the air and he floats up the tree, gathering honey. Ryan swats away the bees that attack, letting Pooh enjoy his meal. Pooh grabs handfuls of honey in his mouth from inside the tree)

Pooh (giggling): It is rather funny what I will do for honey.

Ryan walks up to the door in the tree, but is stopped by a stern voice

??????: Nobody’s home! And I’m out of honey!

Ryan walks to the back of the tree, where Piglet and Pooh are staring in through a hole in a burrow beneath a sign reading “RABBiT’S HOWSE”. Piglet sees Ryan

Piglet: Look, Rabbt’s house c-came back! But it looks like Rabbit isn’t home. Pooh’s been calling and calling, but the house says no one’s there.

Pooh (calling): Nobody’s home?

??????: That’s right, Nobody!

Ryan runs back around the house and enters through the door

Pooh: Who is this person named Nobody?

Pooh begins climbing into the burrow

Pooh: Nobody, have you seen Rabbit?

??????: No! No Rabbit here! There’s no one here!

Inside the burrow, a yellow rabbit sighs as Pooh hops in, Piglet following

Pooh: Hello, Rabbit!

Rabbit: Why, P-Pooh. What a pleasant surprise... Nice to see you, too, Piglet. And...

He turns around as Ryan enters

Rabbit: Is this a new friend? P-Pooh, I’m sorry, but... I’m all out of honey at the moment.

Pooh walks around the room, sniffing the air

Pooh: Ryan, do you smell honey?

Ryan sees a honey pot on a tree root going through the ceiling

Rabbit: H-Honey? Now, how did that get up there? Would you like some Pooh? Don’t feel you have to, of course.

Pooh: Oh, thank you, Rabbit. I would like just a small smackeral. I’m quite hungry.

Pooh sits at the table eating from the honey pot

Rabbit: Um, Pooh Bear...

Pooh eats

Rabbit: You’re not eating the whole pot, are you?

And eats

Rabbit: Once you start, there’s no stopping you, is there...

And eats

Rabbit (defeated): Ohh... Out of honey again.

Ryan leaves the house and attempts to walk off the grounds

Piglet: H-Help! Please help Pooh!

He turns around as Piglet runs up to him, and trips on the ground. Ryan runs back inside with Piglet, seeing Pooh stuck in the hole in the wall

Pooh: Oh, help and bother. I’m stuck again. I came in through this hole, so it must have shrunk.

Piglet: Oh, wh-what to do?

Rabbit: All this because he can’t stop liking honey so much!

Ryan runs around to the back of the burrow, where Pooh’s head and arms are sticking out

Pooh: Oh, how will I eat honey if I’m stuck here? When it’s lunch time, perhaps you could bring me a honey jar.

Rabbit: No honey ‘til you’re unstuck!

Rabbit runs in

Rabbit: If Pooh doesn’t slim down, my house will stay plugged up forever! If only there were something we could do...

He perks his head up, his ears pointed

Rabbit: Wait, I know! A bit of carrot top juice will do the trick! I have a carrot patch on the other side of the stream. Carrot top juice is just the ticket to slimming down a Pooh!

He turns toward his garden and shouts

Rabbit: Oh, no!

He runs ahead, Ryan following. He sees a stuffed tiger bouncing into the area much to Rabbit’s dismay. The tiger jumps onto the bridge, destroying it, and bouncing over to Ryan. Rabbit runs over to see the damage and lowers his ears. The tiger tackles Ryan, knocking him over, laughing as his tail uncurls behind him

??????: Hey, there! Name’s Tigger! T-I-double-guh-RR. That spells Tigger!

Tigger looks over Ryan, standing on him

Tigger: Well, now! I don’t think I’ve ever seen you before!

Pooh: Hello, Tigger. You’ve just bounced my new friend Ryan.

Tigger: Hey, Pooh! Say, you’re lookin’ mighty uncomfy today. Is that some new exercise? Why, bouncin’ around is a lot more fun.

He leaps off of Ryan, who stands up, brushing the dirt off his clothes

Ryan: Wh-Why do you bounce around so much, Tigger?

Tigger: Why? ‘Cause bouncin’ is what Tiggers do best!

He puts a paw to his forehead and looks around

Tigger: Speaking of which, my bouncin’ spot has gone and disappeared! So for now, this’ll be my new bouncin’ ground.

He laughs and bounces away towards Rabbit’s garden

Rabbit: Tigger’s bouncing will ruin my vegetables! And if we don’t give Pooh some carrot top juice, he’ll be stuck forever.

Rabbit turns to Ryan

Rabbit: Please help me! Keep Tigger away from my carrots!

Owl: This is quite a fix. But I have just the solution. Pay attention, now.

Owl flies down to meet them. He takes Ryanover to the carrot field

Owl: Sora, you’ll have to protect this carrot patch. If Tigger bounces on a carrot twice, it’ll be buried.

He demonstrates jumping on a carrot

Owl: Once...

He jumps again

Owl: Twice!

He flies back off the carrot

Owl: Just like that. Protect the carrots from Tigger’s bounces and you’ll receive points. How you ask? It’s elementary!

He swings out a wing

Owl: Simply get to the carrots before Tigger lands on them. There are fifteen carrots here. Your score depends on how many you save, and how many times you block Tigger. Oh, and one more thing.

He flies over to Ryan

Owl: The Rush will make you protect the Carrots. You’ll dash to the target area before Tigger, good luck

Tigger bounces over and Ryan protects the carrots from him. Tigger dances around

Tigger: How about those bounceroonies? They were good even for a Tigger.

He laughs and bounces away

Rabbit: Thank you so much. Now I’d better make that carrot top juice. I’ll get the carrots, so please wait inside the house.

Ryan enters the house. Later, Rabbit returns

Rabbit: Oh, what a day! I gave Pooh the carrot top juice. All we have to do now is push him out. Just a little push should do.

Ryan runs and tackles Pooh out of the wall, sending him flying into a pile of honey pots. Piglet covers his eyes while Rabbit is in shock

Rabbit: First my vegetable patch and now this...

Pooh sits up, a honey pot stuck over his head

Pooh: Oh, bother. Where am I? It’s ever so dark in here. Well, it isn’t so bad, I suppose. There is plenty of honey. (Laugh)
