I just want to give a shout out to the new followers of this story. I cannot be anymore thankful! Only one thing I wanted to apologize for was the chapter mix up. Don't you worry though! It's all fixed up! Thank you all so much!


He had to start acting like a real mouse right now…? Just to keep him safe, she had to box him. This time in a different box with no holes. It hurt to hear him scratch and scurry around inside.

Sarah had somewhat of an idea, that involved the idea of taking Kate to Downtown Disney. She had to tell someone of this and she was basically all alone with him acting all jumpy. But she doubted. What would Kate say? Of course, even she wouldn't believe something as far fetched this. Mice that can type. Sure.

My my my… what is happening? Where am I? Wh-what, what happened?

He was able to eat, much to Sarah's relief. Yet taking him to school was going to be a problem. Perhaps she could pretend to be absent today…but even that can cause problems. Also, this mouse could be left alone after what she learned.

There was a way to get things done without causing a scene. She snuck in things before…. It was worth a shot.

Sarah rode her bike, trying so hard to keep her panic low. Safety she had the box with her as she rode. Not being taken by car today, she was a little late. Just as the bell rang, she settled down by her locker and proceeded to get the smaller box snug into her backpack. Again, she heard him start to scratch.

"Ssh! Stop… I can get in trouble!" she hushed into her bag.

Much to her dismay, as she was zipping her bag, there came a hall monitor.

"Hey, why are you tardy?" the boy asked, cocky.

"…sorry… um, I am going to homeroom right now!" she said, smiling hopefully at him.

She lifted her backpack over her shoulder, but not too roughly. She had to act casual.

"Sorry! Sorry… I-I'm going now." she reassured and almost started to run.

Sarah was able to get out of that, even if the guy followed for a minute or two. She was able to get to class.

The classroom had two doors; one for coming in and the other for coming out across the room. There was a wall of shelves and books behind the teacher's desk. The room was wide enough and since there were no individual desks, there were only six round tables, each with one computer for the students.

At the far table ahead of her, by the window, she spotted her friend, Kate. She gave Sarah a smile as she sat next to her, being careful with her bag.

"Hey!"

"Hi!" Sarah responded in a lowered voice.

It was good to see Kate, even though she had problems these days. Yet Kate caught onto how strange her friend was acting.

"…you okay? You look awful…"

"I didn't sleep well…" Sarah honestly answered. "…we … okay… I have something to tell you but… I can't here. Meet me at the… behind the library. At recess."

"…okay…?" Kate rose a brow at her friend.

Sarah worried when her bag shifted under the table.

"What's wrong?" Kate asked.

"Just… ssh."

School was going to be torture and just as she expected, it seemed to go one forever. Her little friend though, she had to keep him in check. Each time, it seemed to her that she was smuggling an ordinary mouse. He was restless, scratching and trying to escape each time she opened the box to feed him. It was making her worry more! Her anxious eyes studied him as he ate what was a saltless sunflower seed. Biting her lip, she thought that Kate was never going to believe her. Who would, actually?

Oh… oh my… my, thank you! I think I know you… What's going on!?

There was only one thing, as she learned. Disneyland. Getting there was going to be tricky. She had to get him to Disneyland somehow, but then what? For now, maybe Kate could help her. Well, she could only hope.

It was annoying and stressful for her to suffer in silence as her friend had to remain trapped for an hour and a half. Recess finally came, thank goodness. As to how this was going to turn out, she wasn't too sure. So far, the mouse was getting so restless that people would notice.

Trapped inside this bag, Mickey had found himself alone inside it, as well as inside this smaller box. It seemed smaller than he remembered. What happened? Oh, there was some light! Right there, through the zipper! He was able to see and hear her. So he wasn't left alone… but, where was he now? He was out of the house? That meant that she may have been onto something. All he could do was remain quiet and listen.

When recess had rung, Sarah and Kate left class together. Sarah was trying not to let her panic show, but Kate got a feeling that something wasn't right. Sarah was seriously too anal and overprotective of her bag when usually she would leave it far away somewhere and come back for it later. Kate worriedly twiddled with a strand of her hair as they both found a bench to sit at.

"…okay. What is it do you wanna tell me, Sarah?" Kate wanted to break the silence so bad, it was irritating.

"That's just…it…. I don't know if I should. But… I don't know. Weird things started happening, with my laptop for the past two nights. And now, we have this mouse — "

"— a mouse?"

"Yeah."

"…okay, sure. I am still not getting it."

"… I-I know, just~ … just give me a minute."

How was she going to explain this without looking like a lunatic?

He looked on, eager and worried.

"Okay… Kate, I know this will sound crazy. But I have this mouse. He's in my bag. And I… I can tell you right now that he was able to talk to me last night."

"…a mouse, talked to you?"

"Yes! And he's here with me."

Kate looked at me as if Sarah grew a second head, but then she boldly began to open her bag to find the box he was held in. Carefully, she took it out and he backed into the corner of it to keep from sliding around. Kate looked on, very much confused, but she did have a mouse stashed in her bag.

"Sarah, are you sure you're okay?" the brunette rose a brow as she questioned.

"Yeah… I couldn't barely believe it myself before. But I can show you later, at my house."

The bell rang and it only seemed like ten minutes and Sarah looked very irritated. Kate sighed and turned back to her friend.

"…okay, show him to me after school." Kate agreed, much to Sarah's surprise.

So it was agreed that they would meet at their usual spot and the two had to separate for now for the remainder of their day's classes. Mickey was getting a little tired at this point of being stashed away for another two hours, but he was deeply grateful that she kept the zipper open a little. He wondered though and he worried if he was going to have another blackout like that again. He was able to observe through the hole of the box and through the open zipper of the many children and young adults passing by and the blue sky to the field's sharp grass. The smells in this bag were annoying to no end, but he was willing to wait. He trusted Sarah now that he was able to speak to her, somewhat.

Soon, at the end of the school field, Sarah softly placed her bag beside her, as if protecting it.

"That didn't go as bad as I thought… Huh?" she spoke to the bag, hoping that Mickey was okay.

She took the box out again, hoping to get him some air after all that time.

"Are you okay?" she whispered and opened the box.

There he was, looking up at her with his whiskered nose wiggling. He wasn't scared and trying to run. Perhaps he was back to normal?

"Sorry about that, Mickey." she apologized, sheepishly. "Soon though. Do you think you can talk to her?"

Even he seemed nervous, but understanding fully, he nodded. Sarah sighed and looked up to see Kate coming onto the field.

"I just don't know how we're going to pull this off. How to get to the Park. I don't have a ticket or my mom's pass."

Mickey stood up and rested his front paws on the walls of the box.

"I am sure we can do it." he thought.

Soon enough, as agreed, there was Kate, who looked a little annoyed which worried Sarah.

"Hi."

"…hey." Kate sighed, roughly putting her back down.

She noticed the box Sarah held in her lap and there was a little field mouse sticking his tiny head out. He was really dark in fur, like a deep deep brown. His little beady eyes twinkled up at her. Even she had a feeling that she knew this creature.

"Is that… the mouse?" Kate asked, still staring at him.

"Yeah. See, I told you!"

"I never said I didn't believe you, okay?"

"I know, but~ okay. Just watch. I am going to show you something."

Oh how she hoped this would work. Carefully, she took Mickey into her hand and then she held her phone. Opening up her texts, she placed the phone down to the bench right between them. Then she placed her little friend down to it as well. Right then, he went to it and started to press the screen buttons. Kate watched, unsure of what to think. The mouse managed to type the words, Hi. The mouse then looked up at Kate, hopeful. Sarah could only let it happen. The mouse knows what to do.

Mickey went on, typing some more.

Your name is Kate, am I right? You can call me Mickey.

He hoped she wouldn't scream as Sarah did. But she did stand right up, in shock. Startled, he went back to Sarah, expecting the worst.

"It just typed!" Kate nearly shrieked.

Sarah picked her friend up again and held him in her hand.

"Yeah, he did!" Sarah said, standing up as well. "I was surprised by it too!"

"You trained it, didn't you?"

"No, I didn't! I swear, Kate!"

"Look, it was cool, but I really need to be getting home." Kate sighed as she took her bag.

"Kate…" Sarah said , her heart sinking. "…okay, I know you don't get it now but…"

Sarah looked down at the downhearted mouse in her hands. She remembered how crushed he seemed when he was trying to speak to her through the phones.

"…I'm trying to help him. And I was told that we need to be at Disneyland… right, right at midnight."

"… told? Told by who?"

"Someone hacked my laptop."

"You are acting so weird, Sarah—"

"Just… could you at least drop us off there? You don't…. You don't have to come with us. I am just sure about this."

Kate looked at her with a face that was both worried and confused. She looked down at the mouse and then to her friend before she pulled her own phone out. She sighed before beginning to text her own father.

Hey Dad,

Could we drop Sarah off at Downtown Disney?
