They all gather together and Roo is leading the meeting.
Rei is on Pooh's head.
"Ok everyone! We all have little evidences that the Heffalump does in fact exist! Today we are going to find one once and for all!"(Roo)
Rei doesn't know what a heffalump is but who is she to question it in this weird world.
"We are all going to split to find it!"(Rabbit)
"So who's going with who?"(Pooh)
The groups ended up being:
Piglet-Eeyore
Roo-Tigger
Pooh-Rabbit-Rei

"Where should we go first?"(Rabbit)
"Well I thought I saw one near six pine trees."(Pooh)
"Let's go there first then."(Rabbit puts his hands on his hips)
"But I'm so out of energy, can we eat some honey?"(Pooh)
Rabbit was dumbfounded that that's what he's talking about at a serious time like this.
Rei tried to hold in her giggle.
"Well, only if Rei is hungry"(Rabbit smiles)
He bends down to Rei who was still sitting on Pooh's head.
"Are you hungry?" (Rabbit)
"Please say yes."(Pooh)
Rei hesitates but it wasn't a hesitation where she was scared and forced to make a choice. She wasn't hungry but she wanted to appease Pooh.
"Yea, I'm a bit hungry."(Rei)
Rabbit facepalms.
"Rei, you don't understand. He eats forever."(Rabbit)
"Then can I just bring a honey jar to go?"(Pooh)
"Ok, we'll stop by your house. I'm going to hold Rei so that you don't get honey on her."(Rabbit takes Rei)
They wait at Pooh's house then he comes out of his house with a jar of honey and they get going to look for the heffalump.

Henrique
Henrique has been following far behind and observing everything. He's feeling good about where Rei is at. He sees her having a good time and this is a therapy that might be finally working!
He calls Tiana.
"Queen, Rei is looking really happy. I think this was an amazing idea."(Henrique)
"That's a relief! Maybe it's a good thing that Minnie wanted to get back in touch with me."(Tiana)
"But, how long are we going to stay here?"(Henrique)
"Just until she's healed. I'll get Merlin's feedback on it."(Tiana)
"You know. My opinion is, I think we should ask Rei."(Henrique)
Tiana thought about it hard.
"I'll give her max:2 more weeks. We can't get her attached there. Her friends will miss her."(Tiana)

Tiana and Merlin calling
"Merlin. I think that Rei is getting unusually attached to that world. How long should we leave her there? I want her to heal but I don't want her to  get too attached and then it will be bad because she'll be more emotionally exhausted leaving another place that she feels comfortable in."(Tiana)
"Well, she's gonna have to leave it eventually so, maybe it will just have to be something that she has to endure. It's not the most terrible thing, she can just visit again whenever she wants to wind down."(Merlin)
"Merlin, what was the point of sending her there?"(Tiana)
"You guys were at your end trying to help her weren't you?"(Merlin)
Tiana thinks about that Rei is finally happy and she should be thankful for that.
"I think that, Henrique should ask her when she wants to leave. Let her know that she can visit another time. And if Rei rejects it, she has to be out of there in at most one and a half weeks."(Merlin)
"Got it, thank you."(Tiana)

Tiana told Henrique what Merlin suggested.
"Ok, I'll ask her."(Henrique)
They hung up the call.

Henrique walks closer to Pooh and Rabbit.
"Rabbit, can you put Rei down for a second? I have to talk to her."(Henrique)
Rabbit puts Rei on the ground.
Whenever someone says "I have to talk to her", it can be nerve wrecking. It could mean something bad or good and in Rei's case she felt like she had to be extra cautious after everything that's happen. Because of that she walked to Henrique relatively slowly.
Henrique knelt down in front of her.
"Rei, we just want to know, when do you want to leave?"(Henrique)
At this moment Rei was in an accepting mood. She liked the 100 acre woods, but she wasn't exactly friends with anyone. They are all charming but no one is someone that she loves now. Of course she rather be with the other scouts.
"I can leave anytime...can we bring the other scouts here one day?"(Rei)
Henrique was pretty surprised by her response. They all kind of assumed that she'd be pissed about being controlled again. Maybe this place did calm her down the right way after all and Merlin was right.
"Well, of course we can bring the others here someday. Want to leave now?"(Henrique)
"I'm okay with it."(Rei)
Henrique was kind of at a loss for words...in a good way.
"Ok, I'll let Tiana know, let them know that you are going home now."(Henrique nudged her to go to Pooh)
Rei walks up to Rabbit and Pooh and Rabbit just in case lends his hand to Rei for her to climb on.
Rei looks up to them.
"I have to go home, guys. But I'll be back someday."(Rei says smiling)
Rabbit and Pooh try to hid their real feelings about that and try to seem supportive.
They'll miss her but, it seems that she'll be back someday.
"Ok, do you want to tell everyone before you go?"(Rabbit)
"Sure, I'll do that."(Rei)

All the friends including Christopher Robin and Kanga gathered to see Rei off.
Rei is standing on the ground with Henrique far behind.
"We'll miss you Rei. I hope you had a good time."(Kanga)
"Thank you guys so much, I honestly feel like I finally found myself and my sanity."(Rei cries tears of joy)
"Is that so? Well I'm glad we can do that for you. We'll see each other someday"(Christopher Robin)
"And next time I'll bring my other friends"(Rei)
Everyone's expression brightened with the idea of that.

Rei turned around and ran to Henrique and Henrique scooped up Rei.
He had a whole new warmhearted person in his hand.
They left the book and the book closed.

"Well, how was it Rei?"(Merlin)
Rei smiled warmly.
"She's never been happier to have been thrown somewhere."(Henrique chuckles)
Rei's expression turns into a not so dark glare at what Henrique says.
"Haha, sorry, was that too much?"(Henrique)
Merlin and Henrique start playfully teasing each other.
"Hey, yea, don't say that."(Merlin)
"You're the one that threw her."(Henrique)
They go back and forth in this friendly banter, Rei rolls her eyes.
"Ok let's stop. Just go home."(Merlin)
"Ok,"(Henrique)

The portal opens and Henrique walks through it.
"Hi Rei! it's good to have you back! Was it fun?"(Tiana)
Rei was so calm and happy that she almost had natural blush on her cheeks.
"It's good to finally have you back!"(Tiana)
