As the tears dried on the girls' faces
Pooh sat back to stretch and rub his round tummy.
With a bright twinkle in his eyes he said,
"Amanda...Samantha...now that you've cried out
all that junky stuff out of you, maybe you'd like
to take a walk over to one of our
fabulous food courts and fill up
on some PIZZA!"

Everyone nodded approvingly
and with silly grins did their own
"Pooh Bear tummy rub"
which sent Pooh rolling over
with giddy laughter.

Samantha jumped up,
her eyes wide and full of mischief,
"Now's my chance!"...
and she dove on Pooh's back
and started tickling his ribs.

Pooh howled with ticklish glee
while Samantha screeched over and over,
" Do I bother you?..Do I bother you?"

Amanda joined in and tickled Pooh's tummy
and in a silly voice sang out,
"Yummy, yummy, yummy,
I've got love in my tummy...!"

Mariah was bent over with wild laughter
as she watched poor Pooh struggle to get away
from his "tickle torture".

Finally, he broke free
and scrambled out the room
into the plaza and scampered to
the nearest food court
with three roaring lionesses in close pursuit.

They got to the food court
and finally settled down to eat,
enjoying a sumptuous vegetable and cheese pizza
with real cherry juice sodas to wash it down.

After the last bite of pizza,
Pooh leaned back in his seat
and with a pizza-stained smile
rubbed his great tummy one more time.
"MMMMMMM!".....

Then the chorus of clowns
followed suit with their own,
"MMMMMMM!"....and tummy rubs.

"What a goofy bunch we are."
they thought to themselves.

Then Mariah squinted her eyes
and whispered secretly,
"Who wants to go to DZ?"
and all three shouted,"ME! ME! ME!"

They bounced up from their seats
and skipped and danced their way to a DZ room
where up above the entrance read "11:11".

And there they played...

and played...

and played...

Amanda was playing ping pong with Pooh,
making him jump and dive
for her daring quick pings of the little white ball.

"PING!"..."OOF!"...
Pooh fell to his knees
and with a big puff of breath said...
"Time for a break!"

They all stopped and gathered
and went over to the DZ cafe
where they were served a tasty milky shake
full of healthy fruit and milk and ice cream.

As the two girls drank from their straws
Pooh kept reminding them,
"You've gotta drink your milk...
it's GOOD for you!"

After their snack and a much needed "nature call"
they went to a gymnastics room
with another golden glittering "11:11"
above the entrance.

There they did floor exercises with other kids....
tumbling and dancing and doing cartwheels.

Samantha then noticed another
familiar face in the crowd.
It was "Sporty Spice"
who was doing back flips and karate kicks
just like on TV!

"Wow, she's here too?"
"Oh yes, Samantha." said Mariah.
"She's a special one too, just like you
and speaking of which
we have one last thing to do...
come on everybody."
