Hello, It's me. I was tired of my other stories so I thought I try something new. A Disney story loosely based on the Tokyo Disney Sea Halloween show called Mysterious Masquerade. This not a complete copy of the show just to give you guys the heads up and the Mysterious Masquerade and Disney characters are not mine.
Chapter #1 The Strange Invite
It's that time of year, when the nights are cold and long
But only one night is about tricks, treats, scary stories and a haunting song
That night is Halloween, I say to you
Don't deny it, whatever you do
Welcome readers; to my humble abode
Where my unique and unusual stories are told
Come in and relax, don't be afraid
While I tell you the tale about Mickey Mouse and the Mysterious Masquerade
The year is 2009 and the work day has ended
Scripts have been written, scenes have been filmed and costumes have been mended
Our famous star returns home, opens his mailbox and finds a surprise
One he could not believe his eyes…
"Gosh, this is weird." Mickey Mouse said as he turned the letter over and back again.
He just home from work and picked up his mail when a small black, orange and purple envelope caught his attention. He opened it to find a folded piece of purple paper with orange Jack o lanterns, black ribbons and confetti printed on it surrounding the words You are Invited handwritten in cursive. At first he thought it was harmless invitation to a Halloween party at the studio or a friends house. When he opened it, his expression went from curious to confused.
Dear Mr. Mickey Mouse We are writing to inform you that you are invited to our Mysterious Masquerade. The party will be held on October 31st, 2009 at 1408 One Park Ave. Bring own costume and mask. Sincerely Mr. and Mrs. James.
Mickey shivered as a cool breeze blew in. So he went inside and locked the door behind him. He was used to getting invitations around the holidays but there was something about this one that bothered him to no end. It wasn't the handwriting, the design or the colours. It was the return address and names of the senders. Placing the invitation in his pocket, he placed the rest of the mail on the table and went into the kitchen.
Popping a plate of leftovers into the microwave and putting on some apple cider. He sat down and sighed. Not noticing his dog Pluto entering the room. His mind was still on the invitation. An invite from a couple he never met yet for some reason the name sounds familiar. James. Where has he heard that name before? A fan? A family member? He took the invitation out and reread it. No still not ringing any bells. He jumped when felt something poke his elbow.
"Huh? What?" He turned and saw Pluto sitting next to him. His head on his knee.
"Oh, it's just you, Pluto." Mickey said as he patting his head. "Sorry boy, I'm just not myself today."
The evening went on like any other. Dinner's been eaten, T.V.s been watched and mail has been answered. Mickey was getting ready for bed when he felt a chill up his spine. He shivered and wrapped a blanket around himself.
"Gosh, why is so cold in here?" he wondered. He frowned when he saw the bedroom window was open.
"Didn't I just close that?" he said as he went over and closed it.
"What a strange day." he added as he locked it and closed the curtains.
"I'm sure things will be better in the morning." He turned off the lights and went to sleep.
A few hours later the clock strikes midnight and the town slept peacefully. Unaware that they were being watched by unknown forces. Cold air seeped into the famous mouse's home as they came closer to his neighbourhood. He shivered in his sleep and pulled the covers to his chin before returning to dreamland. Not even the voices disturbed his rest.
"This is the Night."
