THE OZZIE AND MICK SHOW: MEET AND GREET DAY PART ONE By Swarlock

All Characters belong to Disney, Especially Oswald The Lucky Rabbit

A few minutes more and the doors would be open for business.

Oswald sat in a fairly middle size dressing room making sure he had everything ready for his adoring fans. Photos to sign, Check. Refillable pens and markers, Check. Buttons and pins, Check. One last thing he needed to do. Taking off his left detachable foot he kissed it for good luck and put it back on his body. In all fairness he really didn't need to do it. After all he WAS a lucky rabbit. Lucky enough to be given a second chance after returning home for so long.

He remembered the first time he did this when Hollywood and Animation were still in their infancy. He couldn't wait to meet his audience. They were small in number but he enjoyed every minute of it. His brother Mickey had been at this for some time after he dissapeared. One thing he noticed while watching in The Background was how nervous he was before his admirers came back stage.
Ozzie felt it was his duty to re-train and show him the ropes to strengthen his resolve. Especially since The Mouse carried the weight of being Good Will Ambassador of all the parks around the world in between doing his current show and hosting his Nightclub on the side in Toontown. The latter he was the better of the two to him.

At that moment MIckey came in to wish him good fortune.

"Break a leg, Bro," he said carryng in a supply of magic tricks next door which his older brother would be a part of. "See you in a little while."

It was almost Nine O' Clock and the first guests were coming into The Magic Kingdom at Disney World. A cast member came in to prep Oswald up and gave him the encouragement he needed. "How many people are out there?" he asked.
"Fifty," she said quickly.
A good way to start off the day he thought to himself.

Things went smoothly during the first half of the morning. Mickey came in every hour to check on his Brother's progress. After a short lunch break Oswald decided to take a short nap in The Green Room before his act with Mickey. A few minutes into his sleep a loud thumping sound came from the door.

"Whuzzat?" he said grumbling.
"You overslept Ozzie. Time to rehearse our act," Mickey said behind the door.
"On it, Little Brother," he took one step forward out the door and then.

WHAM! A barrage of people came streaming through like a pack of clowns in a small car.

"Where did all these people come from?" he said gasping for air trying to get out.

"I'm your biggest fan," a girl screamed at the top of her lungs.
"No! Me first!" a short kid wearing a crash helmet and stunt outfit shouted.
"No, me!" a tall girl yelled. "I want him to help me bust my brothers."

More and more people seemed to come as The Green Room filled up. Oswald squashed and stretched his way out of the place by going over the crowd and landed outside the hallway. Mickey motioned him to sneak away quietly from the barrage of fans behind them who were still looking for their favorite star.

"Didn't The Beatles go through this once?" he said panicking. "We gotta get out of here before they..."
"Calm down, Ozzie. Through this doorway."
"But Mick."
"Calm down and keep walking slowly. You mustn't panic in front of the public like this. It'll attract more attention to you," The Mouse said calmly.
A few minutes later after walking a few doors down they reached Mickey's dressing room.
"What happened back there?" Oswald asked a bit relieved.
"Seems the sheets were mixed up. I had a cast member do a run for extra equipment that'll be used in the magic act and wrote down fifty trick props were needed. But the notepads got switched and someone let in five hundred people all at once."
"F-Five hundred?"
Looking back at the mob searching for the black bunny it seemed to triple from five hundred to six hundred.
"Hey Os, Are you okay?"
"Homina-Homina-Homina!"
