Mickey Mouse woke up feeling groggy and depressed one morning. He felt like this every morning since about a year and a half ago.
He remembered the moment when the love of his life, Minnie Mouse, left for the bus at his house to go to her musical audition.
Minnie was definitely a born actress. She often performed at local theaters for her occupation, and was loved by all. She was very dramatic on stage, as she felt that she had the soul of the female part. Her golden singing voice and outstanding dance moves amazed audiences when she did musicals. But, Minnie Mouse wanted a change in her acting career.
One morning, the ambitious mouse had found the advertisement of her dreams! Mickey vividly remembered the phone call that she had given him that same day, and how excited and bubbly she sounded . The flashback replayed in his head like a motion picture.
"Mickey! Guess what!?"
"What is it Minnie?"
"I've told you about my dream, right?"
"About a hundred times, Min."
"Well, it could possibly come true!"
"Really?!"
"Yes, I'm going to come over and show you!"
A few minutes after Mickey got that call, Minnie rushed inside his kitchen and shoved the newspaper in his face. She pointed to the ad with bold lettering. Mickey still remembers to this day what it had read.
AUDITIONS BEING HELD FOR THE BEST SELLING
MUSICAL, 'MARY POPPINS'!
ONLY AT STARSHINE THEATER
IN FIREFLY CITY!
This was exactly Minnie's dream! She had always hoped that she could perform in Firefly City, because it is where all of her favorite movie actors and actresses were found and made big. On top of that, Mary Poppins was one of Minnie's favorite stories and musicals, and she wanted to play the main role of the nanny herself!
The ugly truth is that Firefly City was no one block away. It was miles on miles away. Mickey was very happy that Minnie could possibly achieve her dream there, but he could not stand the fact that she was going to be so far away from him. He also didn't consider moving there due to the fact Firefly City is so overcrowded, plus there is a lot of crime scandals and drama that happens there. Minnie wasn't really fond of staying their for all those reasons, but it is the only way her long-time dream can come true.
What struck Mickey the most was when Minnie packed up all her belongings and got ready to leave. Her final farewell was at his roomy house. Her excited feelings shined brighter than the rays of the sunshine. Even through all that happiness, Minnie's compassionate side broke through when noticing her boyfriend's glum face. She kept assuring him that this opportunity was going to be a big impact on her life.
All the fun ended when it was time for the bus to take Minnie to the busy train station. Time can be a very cruel mistress, and at this moment, that can be proved right.
After that last goodbye kiss and that cute little wave, Minnie Mouse was gone. Her heights have started to reach. For Mickey, his heights dropped like a cold temperature on a winter day. After the cruel sort of transportation passed by, Mickey's life had felt different. When he drove to the little hot dog shop he works at, his heart filled with sadness when he passed by Minnie's house. When he heard a song Minnie liked on the radio, he bawled his eyes out. He even dared not to eat a single baked good, for he was waiting for a treat made by Minnie.
Anyway, Mickey slowly stepped out of his bed after Minnie's story went through his head. He peered over at the picture of his love sitting on his dresser. Right text to it, was a small, dark green box with golden trimming on it. Mickey walked over to his dresser and carefully opened the box, as he did every morning. Inside, was the only letter he had received from Minnie. He got nothing else in his mailbox, email inbox, or phone from his girfriend. Even after she had promised to keep in contact with him, Mickey only got one letter. But it meant so much to him. The mouse carefully unfolded the letter, read all the contents of it, and folded it back up to place it back in the little box.
Sometimes, that hand-written letter got Mickey thinking that something fishy was happening with Minnie. Has citylife eaten her up? Was she stolen by a pack of thugs? Did she get a new boyfriend that has more muscle than mind? Mickey hated to think these thoughts, but anything could happen in a modern place like Firefly City.
Maybe, Minnie finally accomplished her dream. She could possibly not even be in Firefly City at all. She could be out in other places, performing shows for the enjoyment of others. But, everything is still unknown, because nothing had been said. Really, Mickey could be the only one to put the puzzle pieces of her destiny together.
After a little bit of hard thinking in his bedroom, Mickey decided that he was going to be the one to attempt to look for Minnie Mouse. He was gonna go on a trip for her destiny.
