"She's here!...She's here!.. .Mama,Daddy come look, my friend is here!" yelled the little bear. Princess Chasten woke to see the cute small bear jumping in excitement. "Who are you?" asked Chasten. "I'm your friend that sent you a note in the bottle, my name is TeRRyBeaR and your here in the Enchanted Forest!" said the little bear. "But how did I get here?" asked Princess Chasten. "You fell asleep and dreamt of being here, and this forest is magic and it brought you here!" exclaimed TeRRyBeaR.
"TeRRyBeaR, What is all this shouting about!" shouted JoJoBeaR. "And who on earth is that?"
"This is a princess daddy, my friend that I was telling you about!" replied TeRRyBeaR.
"Well whoever she is she can't stay here and you have work to do!...Now hurry along and get it done!" growled JoJoBeaR
. "C`mon Princess Chasten, you can come with me and see what our house looks like." said TeRRyBear, as he grabbed Chasten's hand and they ran through the forest together towards TeRRyBeaR's cottage.
Inside TeRRyBeaR's mother was waiting.
"TeRRyBeaR, your father just told me about your friend." said TeRRyBeaR's mother looking at them both, "After you finish your work you know that you'll have to find a way back for the princess to get back home, she can't live in the Enchanted Forest, it's only for animals dear."
"But she just got here!" said TeRRyBeaR with tears in his eyes.
"That doesn't matter dear, you know what has to be done, now go about your work, the princess can help you and then you have to see about getting her back where she belongs." replied TeRRyBeaR's mother.
TeRRyBeaR's dog Roddy sat watching them as they worked.
The witch is going to catch both of you and eat you up!" teased Roddy.
TeRRyBeaR and Princess Chasten talked about what had to be done for the princess to get back home. They both felt sad as they thought of just finding each other and having to say good-bye again so soon. Together they walked hand and hand through the Enchanted Forest to go see the wizard that TeRRyBeaR told Chasten would help her get back home.
"It's getting really spooky in here!" said Princess Chasten, as she noticed how dark the forest was getting.
"That's because we have to pass through the Wicked Witch's part of the forest first before we get to where the Wizard lives." said TeRRyBeaR.
"Your going through the Wicked Witch's part of the forest?...I wouldn't do that if I was you!" said a small voice from beside the tree.
"Who's that?' asked Princess Chasten in surprise.
"That's just Billy Badger," replied TeRRyBeaR, as the continued walking deeper into the forest, "Don't pay any attention to him, he's scared of everything.
"Well I'll be!" said another voice. "I heard there was a princess in the forest, but I had to see her with my own eyes!...Allow me to introduce myself princess...My name is Sidney S. Skunk!"

Princess Chasten laughed at the cute little skunk. "I can hardley believe that anyone would think I was so important they wanted to see me." smiled Princess Chasten.
"We all wanted to see you!" giggled the little lambs as they wagged their tails.

"Better watch out for the witch if your on your way to see the Wizard, TeRRyBeaR! squealed Marvin Monkey.
