Trying to find a good update schedule. So updates might be random.

Chapter 1: First day

He felt out of place.

Connor Fieldman had received his hiring with gratitude and a calm composure (he later squealed at home). With excitement in his mind, he dressed up in his greatest semi-formal suit and made his journey over to the greatest place on Earth.

Walt Disney Studios

What moron wouldn't be excited to work in the place that made nearly the entire world's childhood so much happier and hope-filled, Connor wouldn't know. He practically bragged to his friends back home that he would be working there.

But a first day is never without its chips on the china. When Connor got there, he was told his boss hadn't arrived yet so he would just have to wait.

Now here he was, waiting on a bench while everyone who passed by looked at him weirdly.

" Well, don't you look down in the dumps?"

Connor frowned, trying to remember where he had heard that voice before.

" Yeah, kinda. I've been sitting here for at least a half hour waiting for a friend of my new boss to pick me up", Connor said annoyed, blowing a lock of mousy brown hair out of his eye.

" Really? Do you know who your new boss is?"

The voice was clearly a young woman, probably even younger than he was. He looked up but found she was in a room right next to where he was sitting. He didn't move to look at her but her voice was oddly familiar, like he had heard it from somewhere long ago.

" No, the person who interviewed me called me last night to say I was accepted and I had to start today. Apparently, a higher-up caught wind of our conversation and had set me up with the big man... whoever that is"

There was no response from the woman for a bit, Connor assumed she was busy with something important until she spoke up again.

" Are you by any chance Connor Fieldman?", the woman asked.

" Yeah, I am", he replied.

She was about to speak up again before the sound of papers falling on top of someone was heard as well as a muffled yell. Connor stood up and looked into the room, suddenly concerned.

" Are you okay?", Connor said as he picked up some of the documents that had fallen.

" I'm fine. Ugh, I told those numbskulls to sort out all this junk! Ichabod's gonna kill me when he sees the lists got mixed up", the woman muttered as she got up," Can you give me a hand?".

" Sure...", Connor said before looking up and suddenly lost his voice as he finally saw the girl.

He knew that voice sounded familiar. He heard that voice every time his sister would put on her favourite movie. Skin as white as snow, hair as dark as night, lips as red as blood. Connor felt his voice stuck in his throat as he gazed starstruck at the toon before him.

" Snow White..."

Snow looked expectantly at him," Who did you expect? Demi Lovato?", she said cheekily smiling at him.

" I... I just can't believe I'm meeting you... you're my sister's favourite Disney Princess", Connor said as he handed Snow the documents in his hand.

" Hm... haven't heard that a lot lately. Tell me, does she like me because I'm a sparkly princess who or because she watched my movie?", Snow asked.

" She watched your movie. We both did actually. But I was more of a... Pinocchio fan", Connor said sheepishly.

Snow smiled," I'll tell Pin he's got a fan", she said dusting her hands off," Alright, time to get you to Boss".

" Wait, you're the one who's supposed to be fetching me", Connor said, slightly embarrassed that he complained about Snow White to Snow White.

" Yes. We were going to send Tinker Bell but I was making my rounds on this side of the studio so I decided to pick you up. Love your tie by the way", Snow said before walking out of the room," Follow me".

Connor followed her, an excited smile on his face as he sat next to her in the cart.

" Where to, Ms White?"

" The animation department, sweetums. And Toad, drive slowly this this time, we have a fragile passenger on board", Snow stated.

Mr Toad turned around and grinned at them," Now Snow, you know I make no such promises", he said before turning back to the wheel.

" You might wanna buckle up", Snow whispered.

Connor buckled his seatbelt just as Toad started the engine. Luckily, the young man saw the frog toon's movie and knew how much of a reckless driver he was.

Connor shrieked as they practically zoomed through the lot at illegal speeds. But Toad didn't seem to care and neither did Snow White, the latter actually seemed bored and yawned.

" It's not as thrilling as driving through ToonTown Central on a Friday evening when everyone heads home", she explained when she noticed his stares.

Connor nodded, not understanding in the least what that's like but would take her word for it anyway.

" So why did you come work for Disney?", she asked curiously.

" My sister's an animator here and told there was a couple of secretary jobs open. And since it's Disney, I thought it was a win", Connor explained sheepishly," Y'know, you're kinda different from how you were in your movie".

Connor didn't know if it was the fast-passing wind but he was absolutely sure he saw Snow White's eye twitch when he said that. But shrugged it off.

The cart stopped and Connor was flung forward, but luckily his seatbelt kept him back.

" You have arrived at your destination", Toad said with a tip of a hat.

" Thanks Toad. C'mon Fieldman, we're already late", Snow said as she stepped out of the cart gracefully while Connor stumbled.

Toons ran amuck, with surprisingly more work-related things than Connor expected and greeted Snow before going along with their business. They reached the elevator where Snow pressed the button for the highest floor.

They stood in an awkward silence while they waited to reach their destined floor. Snow glanced at Connor, taking in his untidy appearance, letting a small scoff escape her mouth as she tidied him up.

" Sorry. You live in the same house with seven messy men for a couple of years, you kind of become a neat-freak. That and you need to keep up an appearance. You're working for the Big Boss now, you gotta look the part", she advised.

Connor laughed," Is he scary?", he asked.

" Very. And he's very umm... how do I put this?... unpredictable", Snow said with a cringe," So just as caution, don't be surprised if he wants to use you as a model for animators".

" You make it sound like I'm working for Walt Disney", Connor said chuckling.

" Uh... you kinda are...", Snow said hesitantly as the elevator door opened.

" SNOW WHITE! WHERE IS MY NEW ASSISTANT?!"

" Huh?", Connor said confused until his eyes landed on the legendary mouse.

" Right here, Mickey", Snow said boredly," C'mon Fieldman, we're burning daylight over here".

Connor walked in with a star strucked gaze directed at Mickey, who looked at the former with a very unimpressed look.

" You're Mickey Mouse", Connor said in disbelief.

" I know. Don't need a reminder for that", Mickey said boredly before turning to Snow White," Was this really the best you could find Snow?".

" To be honest sir, the person before him was a toonist. And the person before that person was an Anti-Toon operator. This IS literally the best I could find", Snow reasoned.

Mickey sighed, glancing once more at Connor before speaking again," Alright, you're dismissed, Snow", he said tiredly.

Mickey watched Snow leave before looking back at Connor. A Disney fanboy, not really rare but still quite painful to work with. Obviously, Snow looked exasperated, meaning he must brought up her behaviour. So he's still a toonist but... unintentional... Mickey could work with that.

The boy may need to watch his mouth around his people. But Mickey has a human lifetime to shape the boy into a proper well-respected member of toon society.

Mickey let his mouth twitch into a smile. Yes, he could mold the boy a little. Teach him the ropes of toons and how to get by in a world occupied by humans AND toons.

This boy was their ticket to unity.

" So... let's get started"
