Summary: Sheppard and his team come across someone unexpected in the woods one day.  Now, with a sequel!

The team had followed the path into the forest. So far it didn’t seem any different than any of the other forests they’d walked through on any other world through the years. They’d been walking for a while and had passed no signs of settlements and, even better, no signs of the Wraith. All in all it was a rather pleasant trip, despite Rodney’s mumblings about missing lunch or Ronon’s harrumphs whenever Teyla commented on the tranquility of the trail.

Suddenly Sheppard stopped short. He’d heard a noise. It wasn’t a cricket or a bird but a tra-la-la rum-tum-tiddle-um-tum sound of someone humming to themselves.

“Hallo!” someone called out from the clearing just up ahead.

Sheppard and Ronon approached, scouting carefully, but there was no one there.

“Hallo!” the voice called again.

Sheppard and Ronon peered up the tall oak tree that stood in the middle of the open space.

“Hello?” Sheppard replied, cautiously. As far as he could tell the only thing up the tree was a Rather Large Bear.

“I don’t suppose either of you might lend a hand?” the Bear shouted down. “I climbed up here because I heard a buzzing noise.”

Sheppard craned his neck to get a better look at the Bear. “A buzzing noise? Why would you go after a buzzing noise?”

“The only reason for a buzzing noise is if something is making a buzzing noise. And the only thing I know that makes a buzzing noise is a bee.”

“A bee?” Sheppard sounded a bit confused.

“Oh, yes!” The Bear, it seemed, was very excited.

“What’s so great about a bee?” Ronon asked as Sheppard gestured to the others for them to enter the clearing.

“Bees make honey,” was the very matter-of-fact response.

“Yes, yes, we know that.” Rodney didn’t look up at the Bear. He was looking at his scanner. “And?”

“And the only reason for bees to make honey is for me to eat it,” the Bear replied solemnly.

“Did you climb up there all by yourself?” Teyla might have been just a little bit worried. The Bear was very high up.

“Roo jumped up with me but then I got stuck.” The Bear shifted to adjust his grip on the tree branch. “He went for help but now I am thinking I might fall and the ground is Very Far Down.”

“It certainly is.” Sheppard nodded. “I bet we could catch you though.”

“I don’t know....” The Bear thought for a moment. “I have not seen you in the Hundred Acre Woods before. Are you Woozles?”

“What the hell is a OOF!” Rodney began before being elbowed by Sheppard.

“No, we are not Woozles.” Teyla replied, glaring at Rodney.

“Heffalumps?”

“Nope.” Sheppard grinned. “I’m Colonel Sheppard,” he explain, before pointing to his teammates and introducing them one by one. “That’s Ronon, Rodney, and Teyla. Who are you?”

“Oh, do forgive me, I forget I am a Bear of Very Little Brain sometimes. I am Edward Bear, known to my friends as Winnie-the-Pooh and I am very pleased to meet you!” The Bear bent over to give a little bow as he introduced himself. “Oh no!” he cried out as he fell.

“Gotcha!” Ronon lunged forward and grabbed the Bear before he hit the ground.

“Oh, thank you!” said Pooh after Ronon set him down. “That was an Impressive Save. It deserves a reward. Would you like to come back to my house for tea?”

“Sure.” Sheppard nodded. “We’d love to.”

Rodney opened his mouth to speak, but shut it again when Sheppard glared at him.

“We would be honored,” Teyla spoke up quickly. “Please lead the way.”

“Come along then,” Pooh said. He began walking down a small path as he muttered to himself, “hmmm, I wonder if there is any honey in my cupboards? A spot of honey would do quite well right about now.”

Hee!

Glad you liked!

This is adorable, and you know, I wouldn't have thought a spacey/military sci-fi show could be meshed so well with a beloved children's book, but you've done the A.A. Milne and the Atlantis characters so well, it's just lovely!

I'm hoping you're going on your way with a head full of Hundred Acre Wood and will write more. :)

on my way out the door now *yipes* It's weird how well these worked together, isn't it?

[copracat]

That was every bit as good as a spot of honey and a cup of tea.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Hee! The imagery here is very amusing. Um, is Winnie's name really Edward and if so, why is he called Winnie? I have never read these books as you can probably tell.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Apparently he's names after the bear owned by the author's small son, the author was confused by the nickname as well (and says so in the opening bit of the story)

Cutest thing ever. I could hear Teyla saying "no, we are not Woozles" surprisingly clearly!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

thanks! (And have a great week- I'm heading off now!)

Rodney and Rabbit would have a lot in commmon.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

wouldn't they? :)

[phoenix64.livejournal.com]

Oh goodness, this works even better than I would have imagined!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

It shouldn't have worked this well, should it? :)

just another day in the life of SGA- 1 eh? I think they need vacations if a talking bear makes no difference to them....or they are just good at their jobs! :)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

talking bears, alien vampires, they can accept a lot. :)

Too cute!

[agdrgn.livejournal.com]

Awww... What a bizarre but adorable combination of genre.

I'm...I'm a bit horrified.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

but, in a good way I hope?

[cascadewaters.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!! Very sweet! Be great to see what might happen when they meet the others....

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

:) it was utter crack to write, but oddly worked. Glad you liked it

I'm not familiar with SGA, I must admit, but you really don't have to be to adore this fic.

This is exactly the sort of thing my sister Marilyn and I have always loved in SciFi -- crossing them with something a bit out there. (We did it way back when with Bambi and classic "Star Trek." Crazy, I know -- but it worked...)

Your writing is wonderful and I love how you've captured Pooh. I'm adding this to my Memories -- Right Away. (smile)

Lovely idea... Thanks for sharing!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Scifi, in general, is wonderful for its ability to merge with nearly anything. I'm really glad you liked this, even with knowledge of SGA! :)

Absotively *hysterical*

Ronon and Pooh Bear *is dead*

offers you my own small, contribution to the genre http://community.livejournal.com/dw100/314016.html

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*bounces* Just some silliness that came about due to the old flist. :) I bet Ronon and Pooh would get along great!

[prochytes.livejournal.com]

This is adorable. It only now strikes me how well Teyla's measured speech patterns fit into the style of A. A. Milne...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it! :)

I don't want to think of Ronan and Tigger! This brought a smile :)
