ORANGE

Just then, the animals heard footsteps coming through the Wood.
 

RABBIT

Backson!

(EVERYONE scrambles to hide.)
 

RED

But it wasn t the Backson, after all.
 

YELLOW

It was their friend, Christopher Robin.
 

CHRISTOPHER ROBIN

(entering)
Hello? Anybody there? Where is everyone?

(The ANIMALS come out from hiding and sit or kneel so CHRISTOPHER ROBIN is the tallest.)

There you are!

 

 

POOH

Christopher Robin!

 

 

 

 

CHRISTOPHER ROBIN

Hello there, Pooh.

(CHRISTOPHER ROBIN greets the ANIMALS in turn.)

 

 

 

 

RABBIT

However did you escape from the Backson?

 

 

 

 

CHRISTOPHER ROBIN

What s a Backson?

 

 

 

 

KANGA

He wakes up children.

 

 

 

 

PIGLET

He puts out the lights.

 

 

 

 

TIGGER

He rips your pants! If you wear pants. Tiggers don t.

 

 

 

 

OWL

It is without a doubt, the most wretched creature one could ever encounter.

 

 

 

 

POOH

We thought he d kidnapped you.

 

 

 

 

CHRISTOPHER ROBIN

Why would you think that?

 

 

 

 

OWL

Because of this!

(OWL hands the note to CHRISTOPHER ROBIN.)

 

 

 

 

CHRISTOPHER ROBIN

Oh. All I meant to say is that I was busy, and that I would be back soon.

 

 

 

 

RABBIT

Oh.

 

 

 

 

ROO

(disappointed)
So there really isn t a monster?

 

 

 

 

POOH

And we were scared for nothing?

 

 

 

 

EEYORE

It figures.

 

 

 

 

RABBIT

Don t blame me! It was Owl who told us about the Backsons!

(All look at OWL.)

 

 

 

 

OWL

Aherm. Perhaps I could have reviewed the document a bit more carefully. As my niece Letitia would say   Sor-ry.

 

 

 

 

POOH

I guess even Owls can make mistakes. But at least we ve got Christopher Robin back again.

 

 

 

 

CHRISTOPHER ROBIN

But not for long, I m afraid.

 

 

 

 

RABBIT

Afraid?

 

 

 

 

EEYORE

I knew it was too good to be true.

 

 

 

 

CHRISTOPHER ROBIN

It s going to be autumn soon, and I ll be going to school. So that means I won t have as much time to play with you as I used to.

 

 

 

 

ROO

Forever?

 

 

 

 

CHRISTOPHER ROBIN

Not forever, Roo. I ll still have nights and weekends. And when next summer comes around, we ll spend every day together.

 

 

 

 

POOH

But next summer s a long way away. Lots of breakfasts, and lunchtimes, and afternoon snacks away.

 

 

 

 

CHRISTOPHER ROBIN

But school hasn t started yet, Pooh. And that s why I came out here today. So we could have one last summer picnic.

 

 

 

 

EVERYBODY

Yay! A picnic!
