The Destruction of Pinocchio's Treasures

Pinocchio and Jenny walked across the rope bridge to the cottage. Jenny was covering Christopher Robin's eyes.

"Jenny, why can't you just tell me what this is all about?" Christopher Robin asked curiously.

"You'll see! It's a surprise!" Jenny said with a chuckle. After they went into the cottage, Jenny closed the door. When they were all the way into the cottage, Jenny uncovered Christopher Robin's eyes. Christopher Robin gasped. Standing in the middle of the cottage, tilted to one side, was the statue of Darby.

"Oh, Jenny! You are the best!" Christopher Robin exclaimed happily and gave her a hug.

Christopher Robin then went around the statue and said "It looks just like her! It even has her eyes!" Christopher Robin then said "Why, Darby, run away with you? This is all so sudden!" Christopher Robin then laughed happily and spun around in joy. He stopped and gasped when she saw a shadowed King Dimitri in the entrance with an intent look on his face.

"Dad!" Christopher Robin exclaimed in shock.

Jenny hid quickly. Pooh was a few feet behind Dimitri. He had his head down in guilt.

"I consider myself a very reasonable king! I have kept patience until now, Christopher Robin!" Dimitri said angrily. "I set certain rules and I expect those rules to be obeyed!"

Christopher Robin bit his lip and began to explain "But, Dad, I--"

"Now, I'm going to ask you once, and I want the truth! Did you or did you not rescue a mortal girl from drowning?" Dimitri demanded.

"Look, Dad! I had to!" Christopher Robin argued.

"Contact between the mortal realm and the Magical Realm is strictly forbidden! Christopher Robin, you know that! Everyone knows that!" Dimitri shouted.

"But if I didn't do anything, she would have drowned and died!" Christopher Robin said.

"Do you think I care? One less human to worry about!" Dimitri cried.

"You're more ruthless than Rasputin! You don't even know Darby!" Christopher Robin shouted.

"Know her? I don't have to know her!" Dimitri roared. "They're all the same! Spineless, savage, cold-hearted monsters and immortal hunters who capture fun 'n' games, incapable of having any feelings-

That did it for Christopher Robin, who couldn't hold it in anymore. "DAD, I LOVE HER!" he shouted at the top of his lungs. Upon realizing what he had just said, Christopher Robin gasped and clamped his mouth closed. Jenny and Pooh gasped as well. Dimitri looked stunned.

"No!" he gasped. His shock turned to anger. He drew his scepter and turned to Pooh. He screamed in terror and flattened himself against the wall, trying not to get killed. "I leave him in your care and this is what happens?!?!" Dimitri shouted.

"Please, Your Majesty! Have mercy!" Pooh cried as he got on his knees.

"It isn't his fault!" Christopher Robin shouted. Dimitri then turned back to Christopher Robin.

"Have you finally lost your mind completely, Christopher Robin? She's a Super Sleuth! You're an animal loving boy!" Dimitri shouted.

"I don't care anymore!" Christopher Robin pouted.

"So help me, Christopher Robin, I will get through to you, and if talking to you isn't good enough, then I guess I got  no other choice but to do this!" Dimitri said menacingly as his scepter glowed. Dimitri's scepter glowed. Pooh and Jenny gasped and ran for cover. "Dad!" Christopher Robin said, trying to make Dimitri stop, but no avail. "No! No, dad! Please, dad, stop!" Then he set his sights on the statue of Darby. He pointed his scepter at it. "DAD, NO!" Christopher Robin shouted. But it was too late. The statue was destroyed, blasted into a pile of rubble.
