AUTHOR'S NOTE: See, I am a girl of my word. Enjoy.

Bugs Bunny felt like he was on a roller coaster; he felt stressed, but at the same time, she felt on top of the world. He just sent Burt on his first task - to stand by Disneyland's gates and convince people not to go. Looney Land was doing okay, but he wanted more. He was already winning, but he wanted more than just to win.

As he was in his office one day, Lola decided to barge in. On any given day, Bugs would have loved this. But today, he didn't want company. He was in a sour mood and didn't want anyone to bother him.

"Bugs, we need to talk," she said, out-of-breath. He rolled his eyes. "Well, too bad, Lola. I'm not in the mood, so just stick it."

Lola slammed the door and sat down, ignoring his command. "I was talking to Minnie Mouse today..."

"Talking to the enemy, eh? Did you get any dirt?" Bugs asked excitedly, chewing on his carrot.

Now it was Lola's turn to roll her eyes. "No, but we talked about how you and Mickey were being childish and immature. You boys need to put your differences aside and become friends! You may not realize it, but you two are similar in so many ways!"

"Lola, dear. Please hush. I am not like that mouse at all. He disgusts me! Now, please just leave. I believe we're done with, here. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to check on Burt."

Lola was disgusted by his words and stormed away angrily. As she walked out of the park, on the verge of tears, she ran into Burt, who was on his way to report to Bugs after his first day of duty. "Oh, hiya Miss Lola. Bugs has been wondering about you!"

"Oh, Burt. You look so different! How was your first day of the job?" Lola asked, her angriness fading away.

Burt beamed. "Oh, it was great. I felt kinda skeptical about the whole thing though, ya know? I feel bad for whoever runs Disneyland."

Lola nodded. "You know what this is for, though? Its for a stupid contest Bugs entered because he thought he was better than everyone else. And you don't need to work for him! If you feel guilty, then just don't do it. Bugs shouldn't rule your life. I learned that recently."

"Oh... Well, thanks Miss Lola. I'll think about your advice." Burt said, then walking away to Bugs's office.

"Any time, Burt... Any time."

It was the last week of the competition. By now, Mickey just didn't care anymore. He was still locked up in his office, but instead of sulking, he just sat in his chair, staring at the wall. He felt so isolated, and it was starting to become unhealthy. But on one of the last days of the bet, Minnie stormed into his office fiercely.

"MICKEY. MOUSE. You need to listen to me right this instant!" she squeaked loudly, making Mickey jump up. "Wh-wh-what is it, Min?"

Normally, Mickey wasn't afraid. He didn't let one little squeak from the mouse he loved get him down. But after being completely cut off from contact for the past few days, it felt like he was being reborn.

"Why are you still doing this? I honestly don't even see the point anymore." she started, "It's silly and stupid, and I thought you weren't going to take this seriously. Please just stop."

Mickey sighed. "Minnie, I'm just tired. I don't even care anymore. Just... Just leave me alone." he said, escorting Minnie to the door.

Minnie's jaw dropped, but she knew fighting Mickey again would be hopeless; nothing phased him at this point. She simply let him kick her out of the office; its not like it mattered anymore. "Just promise me you'll at least show up at the ceremony next week. I'll leave you alone until then." she said.

Mickey nodded and slammed the door on her, his head down in shame. Minnie didn't mind; as long as he showed up at the ceremony, the plan she had created with Lola was going perfectly.

She decided to go to Lola and discuss.
