Days VII - Chance Encounter
Mickey couldn't believe his eyes. The teenagers he had asked earlier recalled seeing men in black coats running about, but not a bloodhound as well.
So when Mickey spotted Pluto wandering aside a black-haired girl in town. He thought it was illusion. So he decided to briefly shelve his plans for searching for the woods to follow him.
For a long time, Mickey debated whether to reunite with the dog. But eventually decided against it. Like Riku had told him back in Castle Oblivion, he was not yet ready to come back home.
However, this didn't stop him from dropping a goodbye gift.
While the black-haired girl was busy occupying herself with a Storm Bomb, The King dropped down and ran past Pluto as quick as the wind. With his clue swiftly in place. The mouse disappeared as quick as he had entered the scene.
Pluto was left with his mouth open, astonished by what he had just witnessed. He took the item that was dropped before him and disappeared into a newly opened Corridor of Darkness.
Upon further inspection of the item, Pluto gasped.
It was the King's calling card. Complete with his signature and insignia.
The dog smiled, content with knowing that his owner and friend was in a healthy condition.
