Mickey's Apprentice

Chapter one: Yen Sid's message

One warm summer day, King Mickey was sitting broadly at his desk, in Disney Castle. Since his return he had found himself up to his neck in work. Since he had been fighting the darkness, and away from his home world, his work had just kept growing. He had spent the last weak consumed in paperwork, and was just about bored to death!

"Man! Being the King of all world, and the keyblade bearer doesn't mix well!" Mickey complained laying his aching head on the paper work covered desk.

"You ok Mickey?" Mickey's wife, Quean Minnie, asked walking up to him.

"Yeah just a little tired." Mickey replied looking up at her.

"Well being a king is a big job." Minnie reminded.

"I know, I know." Mickey said with a sigh. "It's just a little overwhelming at times."

"You can do it, and if you need help with the balance of the worlds you can always call in Riku and Sora. They are keyblade bearers too." Minnie reminded.

"No! You only get to be a kid once, and they have already given so much of there childhoods up. I'm not going to bother them again unless I have no other choice!" Mickey replied sternly.

"Ok. I understand." Minnie said gently. She knew how close of friends Mickey was with those kids, especially with Riku. She had heard tons of stories about them. She heard about Riku from Mickey, and she had heard about Sora from Donald and Goofy.

They both quickly looked towards the door when they suddenly heard it open.

"KING MICKEY! KING MICKEY!" Yelled a worried Donald running into the room.

"Yes? What's going on Donald?" Mickey asked standing up, and running over to meeting his worried friend half way across the room.

"You got an urgent letter from yen Sid!" Donald gasped catching his breath, and handing the letter to Mickey.

Mickey quickly opened the letter from his old teacher, and read it.

Dear Mickey,

I know you have just returned home, and are probably finally getting the sense of normality returned to your life, but I need to speak to you about an urgent matter! I can't go into anymore detail at this time. This is something that must be explained in person! Please come to my tower as soon as possible!

Sincerely,

Yen Sid

"Yen Sid need me to come to his castle! Minnie can you have Chip and Dale get a gummy ship ready?" Mickey asked turning to look at Minnie.

"Yeah, but what is this all about?" Minnie asked worried

"I don't know, but if Yen Sid thinks it's important then it must be!' Mickey said, and then quickly ran off to pack. He wasn't sure how long he would be gone. Last time this had happened he ended up being gone for two years.
