PAPER MICKEY
Author's Note: In the last chapter, I used a script format; this time, however, I'm going to stick to storytelling tradition and tell it in third person, past tense. I also decided to make Mickey speak, even though Mario didn't in his game.

Prologue, part 2: Pete crashes the Party!
It was a beautiful, peaceful day in the Kingdom of Mouseland; the birds were chirping, the sky was blue, and a mail carrier had just delivered a letter for the one and only Mickey Mouse.
"Mail call," the carrier said before departing.
Pluto the Pup arrived and took the letter in his mouth, taking it before his master who had just gotten up, yawning.
"Mornin', Pluto! Whatcha got today?" said Mickey as he took the letter from Pluto and opened the envelope. "Hmm, it's a message from Princess Minnie! Let's see what it says."
Our hero read the contents of the letter:
"Dear Mickey,
How are you? I am hosting a party at the castle. I would like for you to come and talk with the many people whom I already invited!
I'll give you a special treat, when we meet there!
Love,
Princess Minnie Mouse"
Mickey got up and left the house for Minnie's Castle at the center of Mouseton. There, he met several guests, including his two best friends, Donald Duck and Goofy.
"Good mornin', Mickey!" said the two friends.
"Good morning, pals," said Mickey. "Do you have any idea where the princess is?"
"She's upstairs, waiting for you, Mickey," said Daisy Duck, Minnie's lady-in-waiting. "She's been anxiously awaiting your arrival. Please come see her."
"Alrighty! Thanks." Mickey followed Daisy upstairs into the hallway where Princess Minnie waited for her hero.
"Oh, Mickey!" Minnie smiled cheerfully. "You came to the party to see me! You're so sweet. Thank you! Daisy, I'd like to be alone with Mickey."
"My pleasure. See you later!" Daisy left the hallway to go prepare for a feast.
"Say, Minnie, do you wanna go out in the back and have a chat?"
"Why, certainly!" said Minnie. Suddenly, a loud rumbling took place, shaking the entire castle. The earthquake revealed a large fortress with a familiar face on it, taking the castle with it into the high heavens!
Inside the castle, there was panic and confusion among the guests at the party. Mickey and Minnie, too, felt a pang of fear in their hearts, not knowing what was going on. Soon, the shaking stopped and the two mice regained their composures.
"Phew, what a rush!" Mickey exclaimed.
"You're telling me!" said Minnie, who then looked outside the windows. "Look, Mickey! I can see stars! But, it's still daytime, is it not?"
Before Mickey could answer, two figures crashed through the glass windows; one of them jumped to the ground and laughed, "Nyah ha ha ha ha ha ha!! Long time no see, Princess!!"
Minnie gasped. "P-P-Pete! It was you who caused that rumbling!!"
