“We saw movement.” She said between breaths. “A large group of them.”

“They’re making their move.” Piglet took out his bow.

“How far are they?” Tigger asked.

“About a days time. They’re coming slowly. I think they enjoy that we’re freezing while we wait.”

“My thoughts exactly” Piglet placed his bow back to his side. “So what happens while we wait for their day of travel?”

“We start setting everything in place, starting with an evacuation.” Tigger started walking away as Piglet and Clover followed. Seeing them walk off, the Bear chased after them. Rolling in the snow whenever the opportunity showed itself.

“Where can we evacuate anyone?” Clover asked. “The only place is the forest and we don't know what areas the woozles are hiding in.”

“No one is going to the forest.”

They reached a crowded part of the town. Citizens were huddled together closely, trying to get a view of the inside of a small shop. The crowd was silent, all except for one voice. Tigger made his way through the crowd towards the only speaker. In the shop he found a child, no more then five, talking excitedly about everything in her mom and dads shop. Walking closely and listening carefully to every word was Kanga. She held the child's hand and allowed her to take her through different parts of the shop and tell her in great detail why it was her favorite. As they were looking closely at a shelf of wooden trinkets, Tigger gave a low cough.

“I’m sorry Kanga...it’s time.” He said in a whisper. The crowd erupted in a panic of murmurs.

Kanga nodded and Tigger started to lead the crowd away with Clover and Piglets help.

“Where are we going?” The child asked Kanga. Her voice shook, reflecting the fear she saw in the crowd as they walked away.

“We’re all going to play hide and seek for a while.” Kanga gave the girl a warm smile.

“The whole town?”

“That’s right, so we need to hurry and hide or we’ll lose the game.”

“But who’s it?”

“That’s a secret.”

The girl walked with Kanga as they joined the crowd. The look on her face now filled with awe at the sight of everyone walking to their hiding place.
