It's not shaped like an apple though. Nor does it taste like as apple.
The Big Apple
It was summer. The blazing heat of late June beat down on L.A. The actors of the Disney studio were given some well-deserved time off. And where were Mickey and Minnie on this beautiful day on the beautiful summer vacation of theirs?
At the park on the swings on course.
"Have you ever flipped?" Mickey asked.
"I almost did. I was swinging really high and I thought I was going to fly really high when I jumped off. Then my mom told me I'd flip if I swung that high so I got scared and stopped."
Mickey laughed. "I flipped once."
Minnie laughed. "Really? What happened?"
"Well, I went over the top of the swing, fell off and landed face first on the ground." Minnie laughed even more. "It wasn't fun. It hurt for days afterwards. People always want to flip. No they don't. It's not cool."
"The paparazzi are in the bushes over there," Minnie said nodding to their right.
"Say cheese," Mickey said.
"I feel like we should be posing right now."
Mickey chuckled. "If they can get a good shot of us swinging that's all the posing they need. You have any plans for next week?"
"I planned on spending it with you. Unless you're doing something else."
"Nope. We're spending it together, in New York."
Minnie almost fell off her swing. "Seriously?!" she exclaimed slowing down.
He slowed down as well until they had both stopped swinging. "Seriously baby. I promised you I would take you to New York one day, didn't I?"
"Yeah but…that was such a long time ago…I didn't think you remembered…Oh Mickey!" She pulled his swing over to hers and kissed him passionately. "You're the best!"
Next week they were on the plane to New York. By now with all of the cartoon they had done both had racked up a lot of money. They flew first class and Mickey got them a reservation at a 5 star hotel. Hard work and a good paying job is paradise.
It was evening when they got to the city. They got in a cab and it took them to their hotel. Minnie looked out the windows fascinated by all the lights and the people walking down the streets and the stores and the traffic.
They arrived at their 5 star hotel and went up to the biggest hotel room Minnie had ever been in. Minnie went over to the window and gasped at the beautiful view they had of the skyline. "Mickey come look!" Mickey came over to her. "It's beautiful isn't it?" she said.
"Gorgeous." He hugged her. "Just like my girl."
She giggled as he kissed her. "You're so sweet."
"You have to see the city at night."
She looked up at him. "Is it really the city that never sleeps?"
He gave her a knowing look. "You'll see."
They left the hotel and went out to a nice restaurant for dinner. Even on the east coast people recognized them everywhere. There were a lot of people talking to them that they'd never met before. The sun had gone down and the city was lit with bright lights. They went down to Times Square and there were just as much, if not more people crowding the city than there was during the day.
The next day he took her out shopping. "Buy whatever you want Min," he said when they went into one of the department stores.
"Seriously? Like, anything?"
He kissed her lips. "Anything you want honey."
She tried to find things that weren't too expensive but he insisted that she buy the expensive things too. Between all of the clothes and shoes and jewelry she bought it came to a huge price. Any other time he would have passed out when he saw it. But it didn't matter now. He had enough money to spare and he'd only get more. And she was his girl. He'd do anything for her.
They went to Liberty Island that evening and she was amazed for maybe the 100th time since they'd been there, this time about the Statue of Liberty. That night they found a jazz club in downtown Manhattan and were sitting at a table inside listening bands play their music.
She kissed his lips. "Thank you for bringing me here Mickey."
"Anything for you sweet heart."
He did promise he would take her to New York didn't he? He's so sweet!
