Chapter 4: Charlie and Goofy's Valentine Dates

It was Valentine's Day and that meant the season of love was in the air. As Kit and Charlie Stormz walked their way to work that night, they saw many Cartoon Couples together for the Day of Love. Kit chuckled at the sight.

"Well, I guess everyone's in the mood for Valentine's Day, right Charlie?" The older brother asked. He looked at his younger sibling and saw that Charlie was lost in thought about something. And Kit knew what, more like who, he was thinking about.

"You thinking about Lucy?" Kit asked Charlie, which caught the 16 year old's attention. He looked up at his big brother and nodded his head slightly. Kit sighed and patted Charlie on the back. "Don't worry, bro. She's alright now." Kit assured him. Charlie allowed himself to smile a little.

"Thanks Kit…" Charlie said as the two brothers walked through the doors of the House of Mouse.

~HoM: NK~

"And now, here's Minnie's Main Mouse...Mickey Mouse!" Mic opened the club with his usual opening as Mickey hurried onstage.

"Welcome to Valentine's Day at the House of Mouse!" Mickey announced. "So grab your sweetie and give 'em a smooch!" All around the club, Disney couples kissed their sweethearts. Aladdin and Jasmine, a toy soldier and a toy ballerina, even Pumba tried to kiss Timone, but Timone said, "Don't even think about it!" Kit laughed as he passed by the two animals. Charlie enjoyed seeing everyone in the House liked this, but also made him kinda sad. After all...Lucy wasn't here...Charlie sighed and walked past Goofy, who sighed as well. Charlie walked back and asked, "What's wrong, Goofy?"

"Well, gawrsh, I don't got nobody for Valentine's Day." He answered.

"Join the club, Goof." Charlie told. "I don't have a date either. Besides, I'm working."

"Ha-cha-cha! Getting a girl is easy!" Charlie felt someone's arm wrap around his shoulder. Charlie looked and saw a tall and skinny mouse there.

"Uh...Who are you?" Charlie asked.

"Name's Mortimer Mouse, kiddo." The mouse introduced. "Now watch a pro work on 'em!" Charlie and Goofy watched as Mortimer waltzed over to Cinderella's Stepsisters' table and started flirting.

"Ha-cha-cha! So you missed out on Prince Charming, did ya? Well, now's your chance with Prince MORE Charming! And we don't have to be home by Midnight~." He growled seductively, only to have Lucifer the Cat jump on top of him and start scratching him like a scratching pole for cats.

Charlie couldn't help but laugh at this.

~HoM: NK~

Backstage, Minnie was just checking over the props list when Daisy hurried back there with something urgent to say.

"Minnie! Goofy needs help! It's an emergency!"

"Oh, Daisy," Minnie said, exasperated, "is he stuck in the sink again?"

"No!" Daisy answered. "It's worse than that...he doesn't have a date!" The two girls looked out and saw Goofy crying as he was giving out the Valentine's Day dinner specials to Ariel and Eric. "Poor Goofy…" Daisy said.

Meanwhile, Charlie was delivering orders to Table 07, Aladdin and Jasmine's table, when he spotted someone. He looked in direction towards the villains' table and saw a girl. She was at least a year younger than him. This girl had luxurious, straight, green hair that matched her round orange eyes, somehow. Her skin was deeply-tanned and she looked like a cobra by the way she glared at her menu. And by the way the villains were acting, they didn't seem to excited about her company at their table. But some of them seemed...afraid and a bit frightened when they looked at her. Curiously and cautiously, Charlie walked over to the table and greeted the villains by saying, "Hello, did you have your orders taken already?" The villains looked and saw Charlie, but before any of them could tell him anything, the girl spoke.

"Please leave, I'm still looking over the food." She answered with venom in her voice.

"...OK...Do you want anything to drink?" Charlie asked. The girl set her menu down and glared at Charlie.

"I told you to leave, not ask anymore questions." She clarified. "I'll call you when I want."

"But-" Suddenly, a old man wearing a servant's uniform, that was colored in purple and white, appeared out almost nowhere and confronted Charlie.

"Lady Verona doesn't wished to be disturbed, please leave sir." The old man said. Charlie realized that further arguing wouldn't really do much. So he simply nodded his head, and with one last glance at the girl named Verona, Charlie took his leave.

~HoM: NK~

Goofy was crying for a while now and was blowing his nose after crying so much. Just then, Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast came over to see what was wrong.

"My friend, you look so sad." He said. Goofy nodded and replied, "I am…"

"No Mademoiselle for you?" The talking candle questioned.

"Nope…" Goofy sadly replied.

As Lumiere was giving Goofy dating advice, Daisy was determined to find him a date. "Ah, Goofy looks so miserable...Somebody outta do something!" The female duck stated, and her hands on her hips.

"Now, Daisy," Minnie started out, "don't you go meddling!"

"Meddling?! Me?!" Daisy questioned before forming a smirk.

~HoM: NK~

As Mad Madam Mim was sitting at her table, Kit came over a served her the pasta she ordered.

"Here you are, call me if-" Before Kit could finish his sentence Mortimer came waltzing over to Mim.

"Ha-cha-cha! Marvelous, Mad Madam Mim," the mouse greeted as Kit rolled his eyes at the way Mortimer was flirting. "Meet Manly, Macho, Muscular me!" Just then, Mim transformed into her dragon form and blew flames down on Mortimer. Kit quickly stepped out of range so he wouldn't get burned.

"My-my-my…" Mortimer said after he got burnt. Kit chuckled and walked away to get some other orders filled out. Kit walked through the kitchen doors and accidentally bumped in Charlie, who was looking out the door's window.

"Uh...Charlie? What are you doing?" Kit asked.

"Take a look." The little brother told him. Kit looked out the window just as Charlie did and saw the girl named Verona, sitting at the villains' table, drinking a glass of water.

"You're spying on Verona?" Kit asked Charlie. The younger sibling looked up at is older brother, surprised.

"Wait, you know her?!" Charlie questioned. Kit nodded his head.

"Yeah," Kit answered, "she's a Royal here that never got a chance at a Disney film. Her father was killed by her fiancé then she executed him, personally, and now she's all evil and stuff." When Kit finished, Charlie looked at him with an expression that asked, How did you know all that?

Kit read the face Charlie was giving perfectly and answered, "Someone from her castle blogged about it."

"Ah…" Charlie didn't know what to say to that. Kit then told his brother to stop gawking at Verona and hurried out of the kitchen to deliver some orders. After a while, Kit stopped by Daisy's reservation desk to see Minnie and Daisy just hanging out.

"Hey girls." He greeted. "What's new?" Just as Minnie was about to answer, Goofy hurried over with something behind his back.

"Say, can you three keep a secret?" He asked. Goofy then took out behind his back and piece of paper and whispered, "I got an email...from a secret admirer!"

"Goofy, that's wonderful news!" Daisy exclaimed.

"That's awesome, Goofy!" Kit said, giving Goofy a fist bump.

"Says she wants to be my Valentine!" Goofy cheered. "I can't wait to meet her! Ah-yuck! Oh boy!" Goofy then hurried away to get ready to meet his secret admirer. Kit smiled, he's never seen Goofy so happy. However, Minnie narrowed her eyes at Daisy.

"Daisy…" She started out. "Did you meddle?" Kit heard Minnie ask that and looked at her, confused.

"What are you talking about?" Kit asked, but Daisy replied to Minnie.

"Meddle? Me?" She questioned. "No, I just sent Goofy an email, pretending to be his secret admirer, so he'd had a sweetie like everyone else!" She answered with a shrug. Kit's mouth hung up in shock when he heard that. "You did WHAT?!" He exclaimed.

"Daisy, that's meddling!" Minnie told her.

"I thought meddling was when you look for change on the beach." Kit face palmed when he heard Daisy say that. He sighed and then asked, "Now what are you going to do? What happens when Goofy excepts his...his secret admirer to show up?!"

"Oh, I know exactly what I'm going to do!" She said. "...I'm going to ask you two help me figure something out…" She begged to us. Minnie and Kit looked and each other and sighed.

~HoM: NK~

"Goofy!" Minnie called out. "Your secret admirer's here!" Goofy then hurried in, all excited.

"Gwarsh, I can't wait to see her!" He said. Kit chuckled nervously and then said, "Well, actually, since this IS a blind date...Ya gotta wear a blindfold." Kit handed Goofy a blindfold from his back pocket.

Goofy chuckled and started tying the blindfold around his eyes. "Make sense to me!"

"I thought you think so." Minnie said. "Now, here she is!" Just then, Daisy pulled out of the closet a hat rack with a wing on with a t-shirt and skirt.

"Well-uh, Howdy Miss!" Goofy greeted to the hat rack. "These are for you." He handed the hat rack a corn on the cob in a flower pot.

"Uh...She's shy, and doesn't talk much." Daisy answered, taking the pot from Goofy.

"Shy, huh?" Goofy wondered. "Well, that's OK! I'll do all the talking! This way, miss!" Goofy then lead the dressed up hat rack from the backstage area and to an empty table. They passed Charlie, who looked at Kit, who mouthed, Don't ask. Charlie simply shrugged and walked on by. Just then, Charlie heard an interesting conversation coming from the villains' table. He slowed down and tried to listen in.

"So, Miss Verona…" Maleficent started out. "Have you started looking for a new mate yet?" Verona was quiet before answering.

"No, not yet, mistress." She answered. "I'm still giving out my expectations of the man I want, but nothing seems to be working." Just as Jafar was about say something, Charlie spoke.

"Why not change your pitch?" He suggested. The table looked at him. The butler from before was about to confront Charli again, but Verona stopped by raising her hand. She looked at him with a poker face. "Whatever do you mean?" She asked, almost curious.

"Well, instead of saying Marry Me, why not say: 'COME JOIN MY KINGDOM, ONE AND ALL! Except...Men, I hate men'." Charlie said.

"I don't hate anybody…" Verona stated.

"But you hate me?" Charlie questioned. Verona cocked an eyebrow and didn't answer but her stare said it all. "Well, I'm relieved to know it's just me personally, and not all men in general. It's...nice to know there's a man somewhere in the world that might appeal to your liking. I wonder what this man will be like…" Charlie pondered.

"...He will NOT be a waiter." Verona informed him.

"I'm not interested in what he will not be," Charlie countered, coming up to Verona, "I'm interested in what he WILL be!" Verona glared at Charlie as she stood up from her chair. She looked deep into his eyes and then said, "Don't worry yourself, I'll know." She then wave her hand and music started playing as Verona began to sing.

Verona: For I've imagined every bit of him
To the strong moral fiber to the wisdom in his head
To the homey aroma of his voice…

Charlie then shrugged and started to sing along with her.

Charlie: You have wished yourself a Scarsdale Galahad
The breakfast eating, Brooks Brothers boys?

Verona: Yes, and I shall meet him when the time is right

"You've got the guy all figured out." Charlie said.

"I have." Verona agreed.

"Including what he eats, all figured out, huh?" Charlie questioned.

"All figured out." Verona answered.

Verona: I'll know when my love comes along
I won't take a chance!
I'll know he'll be just what I need
Not some fly-by-night Broadway romance

Charlie: And you'll know at a glance by the two pair of pants?

Verona: I'll know by the calm steady voice
Those feet on the ground
I'll know as I run to his arms
That at last I've come home safe and sound
Until then, I shall wait
Until then, I'll be strong
Oh, I'll know, when my love comes along

"No, no!" Charlie stopped her. "You are talking about love. You can't dope it like that! What are you picking, a guy or a horse?"

"I wouldn't expect a waiter to understand." Verona scoffed.

"Would you like to hear how a waiter feels about the big heart throb?" Charlie asked.

"No!" Verona said quickly.

"Well, I'll tell ya anyway." Charlie stated.

Charlie: Mine will come as a surprise to me
Mine I lead to chance and chemistry

"Chemistry?" Verona questioned.

"Yeah, chemistry!" Charlie agreed.

Charlie: Suddenly I'll know when my love comes along
I'll know then and there
I'll know at the sight of her face
How I care, how I care, how I care

And I'll stop and I'll stare
And I'll know long before we can speak
I'll know in my heart
I'll know and I won't ever ask
Am I right, am I wise, am I smart?
And I'll stop. And I'll stare
At that face, in the throng

Yes, I'll know when my love comes along…

Verona: I'll know…

Charlie & Verona: When my love comes along!

Verona then gasped when Charlie kissed her, full on the lips. The villains were shocked as well, along with the old butler. When Charlie released Verona, the two looked at each other for a few seconds before Verona slapped Charlie clean across the face. Charlie was stunned for a bit but snapped out of it when he heard Verona growl, "Garfield...We are leaving!" The butler, Garfield, bowed quickly and followed Verona as she was steaming with rage. But then Charlie stopped her by called out, saying, "Come back when you want to slap me on the other cheek!" Verona only stopped for a second before continuing out the door. Charlie couldn't help but smile as he touch his cheek.

~HoM: NK~

Meanwhile, with Goofy, his heart was broken. During his date with the hat rack, Mortimer, who was trying to flirt with the Queen of Hearts, flew right into Goofy, making the the blindfold come off. That's when Goofy thought this "secret admirer" thing was a setup by Mortimer. Kit, Minnie, and Daisy were back at the reservation desk when Goofy came over again, but he didn't look sad anymore.

"Hey," he greeted, "can you three keep another secret?" He asked. "I think I figured out who my admirer really was!" He whispered. The trio began to worry a bit when they heard that.

"You did?!" Minnie and Daisy gasped.

"Oh boy…" Kit mumbled.

"Lookie right over there!" Goofy pointed and they looked to see Clarabelle standing there, smiling at Goofy. Minnie gasped again.

"Clarabelle?!"

"Well, it's better than a hat rack." Daisy shrugged. However, Kit smiled and congratulated Goofy on finding someone for Valentine's Day.

~HoM: NK~

As Kit and Charlie were walking home from the House, Charlie couldn't stop smiling. Kit knew exactly what was up.

"How was that kiss with Verona?" He asked. Charlie looked up at his brother, shocked and surprised.

"You saw?!" Charlie exclaimed.

"You were singing so much, most of the club was looking at you two." Kit replied. He saw Charlie blush and laughed. "Isn't that how you and Lucy met? You kissed her randomly and then she slapped you?"

"Yeah...but it wasn't as fast and as hard." Charlie chuckled. Kit smiled at his younger brother. He could tell something big was going to happen between him a Verona.
