Hello, Mousewing here. People on the surface calls me Minnie. I am the second to last warrior of the Sierra Travelers Clan. I live with Reedheart and our leader, Sunrise at HQ. We use a dimension portal to go to our chosen worlds. For myself, I chose the world of 'Ratatouille'. Apart from my duty to patrol, I really love to cook, so I am a foodie when I go out and such. That's why I felt like I have so much in common with Remy. Being in a new place, sometimes disagreeing with my parents, and passionate about cooking and food, and appreciative about friendship.
My day came about 6 weeks after Bootpelt left for his chosen world. It was getting close to Thanksgiving, and since I was the cook, I got a large half of chicken to share with the others. I was wearing my totem necklace, which held two large wooden carvings. The first carving is of Remy, and the second carving is the chef hat. My radio is inside the carved Remy. The thread itself is French Wire Bullion Silver. I was wearing a cotton red jacket over a sky blue sweater, and black pants, and gray/black sneakers. I had my long black hair pinned up in a high ponytail, and my dark blue eyes glimmered in sync with soft blue mascara.
I finally came into HQ, starting up the cookers as one, splitting the leg, wing, and breast into each pan, nodding with a hello to Reedheart who was reading her book besides her tent, sitting in a camp chair. She shortly replied that Sunrise was checking on something up at the surface. A hour passed with the chicken pieces well done, and a returned Sunrise, who surprised us with the revelation of a small box of large cupcakes, saying that we need dessert as well. It had our favorites; vanilla with blue icing for me, mocha chocolate with white icing for Sunrise, and for Reedheart, velvet red with purple icing.
We soon finished lunch, and the others were ready to see me off, and so Sunrise turned on the portal, the rainbow colors coming out. I smiled, hugging the others, and saying goodbye before I proceeded to enter into the portal. The tunnel was dark, then it became bright. I heard warm laughter and suddenly I tensed as somebody appeared out of nowhere. I was ready to strike someone.
"Easy, ma'am. I am not here to scare you, rather welcome you here.". a translucent portly man with a kindly face spoke as he floated close to the ground, and I blinked as I recognized the man and slowly calmed down.
"Gusteau?". I gasped. Gusteau chuckled, smiling as he replied, "Real as a star, dear Mousewing.".
I asked, "What are you doing here?". Gusteau clasped his hands calmly, and replied, "I am here to tell you of two important things you will bear and become once you arrive into my beloved world.".
"And that could be?". I replied curiously. Gusteau smiled softly, "First, you shall become a unique mouse, capable to help Remy in all situations, and secondly, you will remain your cooking skills. I suspect you will improve them once you're there.". I nodded, excited to think of all the possible food I can make. Gusteau chuckled, "Keep your head up, and look after Remy. Do you promise that?".
I replied firmly, "I do, Gusteau.". Gusteau laughed warmly and quoted my favorite motto before he disappeared in a soft white wisp. At the end of the tunnel, I saw a picture of Paris at nighttime, sparkling and glimmering with all the lights. I smirked, and set to run. I leaped to the picture, went through, and blacked out as I heard a nearly quiet squeak.
