The Return of a Lucky Rabbit

Sitting on one of the tables, head down, he picked at his food. Not really eating. It was not that he did not like Mac 'n cheese, mind you, but it's kind of hard to eat comfortably when everyone is staring at you. It's un-nerving and really irritating. He had just arrived a few days ago and was still getting accustomed to this world.

He was currently living with his brother, Mickey. He protested at first, not wanting to become a burden but the mouse insisted, 'persuading' (more like forcing) the rabbit to stay until he got used to everything.

It was no easy feat.

Oswald was getting weird looks from everyone, due to him being black and white. Who could blame them? Oswald stuck out like a sore thumb amongst the colored masses around him.

The humans tried to have him go into color but he refused. Saying he didn't want to and that there would 'complications' if he did so. No one knew what he was talking about. No one but Mickey, who understood what he meant and persuaded the humans to let Oswald stay black and white. They agreed, seeing no reason in forcing the rabbit to do anything. This was America. The place where freedom was invoked, but sometimes that freedom is abused. But we'll not delve into that.

Oswald was then introduced to Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Daisy, Pluto, and Pete. Seeing as they were one of the original ones to start Disney. Oswald found he quite liked them. Especially Pluto who took a liking to the rabbit as well and his wagged his tail happily, licking Oswald's face relentlessly.

Then, Oswald introduced them to his one and only love, Ortensia. She and Minnie immediately struck up a close friendship.

Being brought out of his memory by the appearance of his brother, Mickey, who came to see if he was alright.

"Hey, are you doing okay?" he asked the rabbit.

Oswald smiled a little, trying to reassure his brother. Nodding his head, Oswald watched Mickey take a seat beside him. The mouse's expression told Oswald he didn't believe him, which was really not surprising considering the circumstance that they were in. And also this was his brother.

He really needs to become better at lying.

"They're staring at me." He said in a low voice, facing his brother who frowned. He then brightened up, having come up with an idea to maybe divert the Disney characters' attention elsewhere.

"Hang on, I'll go distract them!" Mickey told his brother. He got up and zipped over to the back of the stage, leaving his elder sibling to watch him go in bewilderment.

It was honestly strange that the younger brother was taking care of the older brother.

That's reverse psychology for ya.

Picking at his Mac'n cheese a little more, the rabbit quickly noticed a character with three girls swooning over him, passing by his table. He nearly gagged when the character showed off his muscles to the three girls, his ears hurt from their squeals. He heard the character say in a boasting way, "No one flexes his muscles like Gaston!"

Yeah, mostly certainly no one can.

Pushing his plate away, Oswald faced-downed on the table and groaned, feeling a headache coming on.

"I know how you feel." An unrecognizable voice spoke beside him.

Oswald jumped in his seat, startled. Turning, he faced the character standing a few feet from his table. The character looked to be a short, round man with black hair tied back. He wore a brown coat, white buttoned shirt, and black pants. The character had a rather large nose and some teeth sticking out. He waved at Oswald, pointing at the sit next to him.

"Mind if I sit here?" the character asked Oswald who shook his head, allowing the character to sit down beside him. The character looked at him and introduced himself to Oswald. "My name's Lefoo." He stuck out his hand to rabbit.

Oswald was silent for a moment, not sure if he should reply or not. Then, after moment of hesitation, he grasped the outstretched hand and shook it.

"Oswald."

LeFou smiled a bit.

"I've never seen you here before. Are you a new character?" LeFou asked, not noticing the rabbit tense, a flicker of annoyance passing his dark eyes than vanished. There were many things that un-nerved him. This was one of them. Clenching his hands so as to not lose control, Oswald replied in a serious voice.

"Something like that."

Mickey's voice caught both their attentions, along with everyone else's, and looked to the stage. Mickey stood there, presenting a greetings to everyone, telling them that the show was about to begin and that they'll have a special guest coming here on stage at the end of the show.

Everyone murmured, wondering who the special guest was as the cartoon clips began.

Oswald looked straight at Mickey and he did the same. The two brothers nodded, sharing a unspoken agreement with each other.

They were brothers after all.

"Well, we're near the end of the show now!" Mickey said to everyone, giving his signature smile. He then turned towards the curtains next to him then back to the audience. "I'm sure all of you would like to know who our special guest is." It was a rhetorical question since Mickey knew very well that they were curious but none the less, asked anyways.

A lot of 'yes's and nods were his response.

Mickey took a look on everyone's faces, seeing puzzlement and curiosity in them. Even the villains were curious, though, some seemed to sneer and were thinking how ridiculous this is.

Turning once again to the curtains, Mickey gulped, all of a sudden nervous.

"I would like all of you to know this about him." Mickey spoke in a serious manner, facing everyone again. The signature smiling dropping from his face, catching a lot of toons off guard and were now wondering why Mickey became serious all of a sudden. Could it be the special guest they were going to be introduced to?

Lefoo shifted, glancing over at the empty seat next to him. Oswald had told him he needed to use the bathroom and that had been an hour ago!

"He was gone for a long time, a very long time. And he was special. Still is. Why, if he hadn't existed then…I wouldn't be here. None of us, in fact…" Mickey saw the confusion on their faces. He smiled, turning towards the curtains again and motioning over for someone. The silhouette of the person moved forward from the shadows, reaching out to grasp Mickey's gloved hands.

"Everyone, I would like to present to you, the very first Disney character Walt ever created…"

The person came forward, standing next to Mickey as gasps filled the room. He remained impassive, tightening his hold on Mickey's hand. Glancing over at Mickey, he relaxed at his brother's smile and a crack of his lip upturning was shown. His ears twitched when Mickey said the final announcement to everyone, holding his breathe.

"This is my older brother, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit!"

Shocked silence met them.

Editted this since there were some errors in this chapter.

Minor Characters can be main characters too, ya know! (Is reffering to ones like LeFou and all other side characters) I mean, they are what makes the movies so AWESOME! 8D
