"Trial of Commitment"
A/N: I do not fancy many things about the 2015 Danger Mouse reboot cartoon show. His last series back in the 80's involved humans co-existing with his animal agency. And Professor Von Squawkencluck was a male mole with a German accent.
What I do cherish is the new personality of Danger Mouse himself. That sly look in his right eye; that confident, conceited smirk and excitement in his grin; Trust me…the animation made me go gaga for another guy who reminds me of spazzy anime boys again.
I won't enjoy writing my first story that involves my reincarnated OC growing up again in his world, where animals replace all the humans. But I don't have a choice. And I should be very grateful that I read many Naruto fan fiction to inspire me to get around my displeasure about this. What's more is that I found a theory as to what happened to DM's world in the 26 years of his absence from the old cartoon to the new cartoon.
More will be revealed in my chapters. Please enjoy my first chapter.
Chapter 1: My Story Before My Name
I was born on March 20th, 1992. At least that's what my official birth certificate was stated in my parent's records. The truth is…I don't even remember their faces after I was reborn again in a new, wacky world. That's right. I was a young, human female adult when I accidently got killed in my real world. And like those brilliant Naruto fanfiction stories, I was given a new chance of life as a newborn with my current state of mental awareness intact.
It wasn't until my body matured to the age of eleven did I hear the whole story: I was born a white, baby girl mouse in the country of Japan the day after the world was saved from death by the strategy of a British agent, who had suddenly and mysteriously disappeared with his assistant once the crisis had ended. The city in his home country was starting to rebuild their wiped out skyscrapers and structures in a crater marked by the intergalactic threat on the agent's last mission.
But as the world moved on, an earthquake hit my small Japanese village. I lived, but my parents didn't. My crying had eventually caught the attention of foreign tourists who were sightseeing nearby. A couple who had visited my village earlier, and met my birth parents before settling down at an inn in the next town for the night, were the first good Samaritans to check for survivors once the brief aftershocks had passed.
The Japanese government gave the foreign couple their approval to adopt me and take me back to the United States with them, since I had no other living relatives who were acquainted with my dead parents. I was to be the last white mouse on the planet. With the help of the Japanese government, the American and British government agreed to grant me dual citizenship due to my foster parent's different birth records.
My foster mother was a light brown furred mouse from America. She had family relations with cousins who were in the American military. One of her distant relatives had given birth to a baby girl around the same time when I was born back in Japan. The mother of that purple haired yearling of mine always boasted about her child becoming a secret American agent one day when she grew up.
My foster father was born in the U.K. and was granted U.S. citizenship when he married my foster mother. However, unlike my foster mom's animal breed, my father was a camel. He was the younger brother of Jimmy Camel, who made a living as a daily T.V. talk show host in London. Long story short, Oliver Camel met Jewel Mouse, fell in love and got married. Like the Kung Fu Panda T.V. series back in my real human world, interspecies marriages was just as common here in my new reality.
But as I settled down and behaved reluctantly with my loving family, there were a lot of things that still didn't feel quite the same from a human's perspective. When I was between the ages of 8 & 9, I felt like Déjà vu was screwing with me again as the first music pop band I got into was The Spice Girls. The songs were the same, but the species of the girls was not. My foster mother's cousin's daughter sometimes made fun of their British accents when their hit movie came out while we were growing up together. Funny how coincidences pop out again at you; when I was alive in my human world, my little sister made fun of The Spice Girls' accents too when we would have car rides in the backseat.
Unlike my mental development from my previous life, I never cared for the cartoon shows that this world had to offer. My memories of the world I left behind were all that had kept me going on as the white female mouse of an interspecies foster family. My loving parents were a bit concerned when I didn't return the feelings of teenage boys who had asked me to be their girlfriend while I was reliving school again. Nevertheless, they were proud of my concentration in science and the Arts. I had even asked my parents for permission to become an exchange high school student in the country where they had adopted me from.
For one year as an official third year student, I stayed with a Japanese family who were very pleased to have me as their guest in their home. A family of white boars, they once told the story of the human race who had built the cities and civilizations on the planet, but were starting to die out when news about the disappearance of the planet Mars from their solar system caused a wave of panic and chaos around the world. The elderly member of my stay home family recalled the day when his brother, who was working as a news anchorman during the evening hours in London at the time, phoned him to look into the clear sky of Japan outside his house.
The old white boar went on to describe the flying yellow car with orange wings cruising through the sky by Mt. Fuji and an ancient Japanese tower made from the human's feudal era. That was the last time he had ever seen of, or heard about the British secret agent, Danger Mouse.
A/N: I apologize if I was unaware-during the time when I was writing this in my notebook, that the fictional Daytime Talkshow host character in the reboot DM cartoon, Jimmy Camel, was actually a parody version of the real life American Talkshow host, Jimmy Kimmel. Honestly, when I first saw that camel wearing glasses and a blazer while sitting behind a desk interviewing Greenback in the first episode, my mind immediately pictured John Oliver's HBO series, "Last Week Tonight." Henceforth, came the creation of Shirakage Mouse's British foster father, Oliver Camel.
Yeah, I know. Not a lot of creativity. But it was nice to know that I was thinking of the man who voices the new Crumhorn.
