Morning at the House of Mouse

by Rosepixie

A series of very short stories about the iconic Disney characters from Mickey to the Ducktales cast in the morning. There is very little plot, but it is safe to assume that the stories all take place on the same morning, so small connections may become evident. I have no current plans to expand any of these, but may continue to add more of them over time.

3. Minnie

Minnie Mouse woke up when her bow-shaped alarm radio began playing a crooning love ballad. There was a smile across her lips before she had opened her eyes. She held her left hand up and admired her shiny new engagement ring in the soft morning light.

Minnie squealed with happiness at just the thought that she was engaged! Her boyfriend, her best friend in the whole world, Mickey Mouse had proposed last night. And her ring was perfect! It was three small stones in a distinctive cluster. She adored it!

Still practically floating on air, Minnie climbed out of bed. She waltzed around the room, making her way to the bathroom door, recalling her perfect date the night before.

Half an hour later, Minnie tripped happily down the stairs to the kitchen. She was dressed and ready for the day. Humming and sashaying as she made herself some eggs, Minnie felt happy as a lark.

Breakfast was perfect and cleaning up a breeze. Before she knew it, she was sailing out the door to her little blue coupe. She had to to check on the Bowtique, but then she planned to to leave Clarabelle in charge and whisk Daisy away to go shopping. Tonight at the House of Mouse, Mickey was going to announce their engagement and Minnie wanted something new to wear for the occasion. Something prettier than her usual uniform. Something that showed that she was in love and happy!

Suddenly, Minnie realized that she was pulling into her regular spot outside the Bowtique. She had absolutely no memory of driving there, but she had been so lost in her thoughts that she'd apparently done it entirely on auto-pilot! It was a good thing nothing had happened.

Shaking herself back into reality with a feeling of reassurance that everything had worked out, Minnie started towards the shop. She could see Daisy already inside, fluffing a bow in the window display. With a grin, she hurried inside to share her good news.
