"We can't do this to them they're just children" The woman whispered. She nervously looked out the window as the man touched her shoulder "If we don't he will torture them.. kill them if he had the chance." The man took off his glasses and rubbed his tired eyes "I know that Merlin would be-"

The woman interrupted "What can he do on his own?...It's too dangerous." she crossed her arms "Merlin told me about this part of the map that's hidden, It's probably found by now.."

"Probably or definite." The father sighed "I believe Merlin can help "If we send them to my sister's there safety is guaranteed."

"What about Merlin?" the dad leaned on a table "And their powers?"

The mother paced back and forth "I want them safe. Regardless of what Merlin thinks is best for them. Magic or not." The wife bit her fingers in distress "You and I can go-"

"Mommy?" a little girl of no more than three yawned "I can't sleep."

The father picked up the girl "Nightmares again sweetie?" the dark red head girl nodded and sucked her thumb. The mother grabbed the child and held her close, beginning to rock her "Shhh my little Sunshine.. it's okay.. we're together." The little girl smiled in her mother's soft embrace.

Suddenly the door burst open, as a dark fog entered the room. The growl of a large dark beast consumed the room and grabbed the two parents from the child. The room began to go dark as the little girl tried to reach for her parents, they grew smaller and smaller as the beast grew bigger and bigger, more menacing as these bright golden eyes were the only thing seen in the darkness.

The girl watched the entire scene in horror as she began to shout to her parents "Mommy! Daddy! Come back! Please! Don't leave me!"


"NOOO!" Rosella woke up in a sweat, deeply breathing and noticing that it was a dream. She felt her forehead, noticing beads of sweat. Minnie came in her bathrobe and P.J's, running into the room "Rosella! What's wrong?!" she jumped onto her bed and held her hand gently "Are you alright?"

She began to calm down "Nightmare.. I'll be okay.. Really."

Minnie touched her shoulder "You're sweating." Minnie rubbed her back, Rosella's breathing turned to normal "I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me." She sighed as Minnie jumped off the bed "Alright.." she said uneasily "I'll see you in the morning.." she shut the door.

Rosella held her head in her hands "What is happening to me.."


"Our Uncle?"

"Yes."

"And he.."

"Yes Bastian."

"Thinks we have.. Powers?" He nervously laughed.

Rosella nodded "Yes Bastian.." Bastian looked out the small kitchen window at Merlin, who sat watching the beginning of the show. His blue eyes widened "This can't be true."

Rosella sighed and began to rub her temples "I know. But he knows mom and dad." She turned him around and fixed the red tie tied around his neck "It's hard to explain.. I need you to trust me." she combed a hand through his orange hair "And Merlin. Just think! You'll be taking lessons from one of the greatest wizards of all time! Just make sure you listen to everything he has to say... It could help us get home." Rosella tussled his hair as he walked out of the kitchen, to greet the guests of the night.

Minnie rushed around the building, as the club was beginning to open "Rosella! I need you to fix the chandelier from the second floor. Three lights went out because of Chernebog's horns hitting the roof." She pointed to Derek "You need to hold it to make sure she doesn't fall."

"Yes Mam!" he sent her a salute and headed out the door to get the ladder. Rosella nervously bit her lip "Minnie I'm not sure about this.. I'm not very comfortable with heights." The mouse patted her back "Don't worry.. the ladder is perfectly safe."

She walked outside to see the largest ladder she had ever seen. The twenty five foot ladder luckily had railing on both sides, and reached to the domed ceiling where the large chandelier was hanging. It was a crystal chandelier that had many different crystals hanging from it, making a beautiful design.. the newest addition added by one of the clubs benefactors; Scrooge McDuck. The stingy duck moved looked up at the light "Listen lass. I paid good money for that fixture.. those three lights have to be fixed VERY carefully. Break one crystal and your paycheck for the next two weeks is going in my pocket."

She looked down at him, then back to the top of the ladder which was being circled comically by vultures…. cartoons. Rosella sighed "Okay.. Here we go." She headed up the large ladder, clinging onto the rail with a tight grip. Derek held the ladder as he watched Mickey start the beginning of the show:

"Welcome everybody! It's great to be back, I'm so tired.. I took a plane right around where Peter Pan lives.. but the problem was I could Never-Land!"

The crowd began to laugh as Derek leaned on the ladder and clapped "OH he's a genius."

"Derek." Rosella said as Derek clung onto the ladder "Sorry!"

Mickey continued "I also went to a soccer game and saw Cinderella playing!.. She couldn't play though because she kept running away from the ball, kept losing her shoes, and she had a pumpkin for a coach!" Cinderella giggled along with her mice and Fairy Godmother "Oh that's terribly true!" the princess giggled.

Derek burst into laughter and applauded him once more, right as Rosella reached the top of the ladder and was about to change the lights "Almost.. Got it!" she reached to the light, about to remove the dead bulb when she suddenly slipped.. She fell off the tall ladder and shouted "DEREK!"

As if slow motion, Everyone watched as Rosella fell off the edge of the ladder and headed down the twenty five foot drop.. to the hard floor beneath her. As the floor came closer to her, she closed her eyes and suddenly felt someone's safe arms around her. She plopped with an "Ooof" as she opened her eyes slowly to meet the eyes of the person holding her "Miss, are you alright?"

Her eyes widened to meet a pair of hazel eyes with flickers of gold in the middle, the man had golden brown hair that grew a little past his ears "You had some fall there." The man continued to look at her with concern as the guests in the club began to applaud him. Mickey nervously looked around "Let's play our first cartoon shall we! Hit it!" the lights dimmed as Mickey ran off the stage to the staff "Zipiti Doo Da! What is going on!"

Rosella remained speechless "Ah.. I…"

Minnie giggled "Oh thank goodness you were here Zephr!" The boy smiled as he stood Rosella upright "Oh sorry.. you might be a little weak at the knees falling from that height. How did you get up there anyway." Everyone turned to Derek, who nervously fidgeted with his fingers "It was an accident."

Daisy huffed "You not watching the ladder got almost Rosella hurt! Or worse!"

"What a klutz!" Donald crossed his arms. Derek backed up nervously, as Zephr began to speak again "I'm sorry we couldn't have met in another setting.. I'm Zephr Periit.. but you already knew that I guess?.. And you are Rosella I'm guessing?"

Rosella nodded silently as she finally began to speak "I mean yes.. I am.. Rosella Evans. Nice to meet you." She shook his hand "Thanks for your help."

Minnie continued to smile "We just hired him this morning! We needed a good technician for our backstage."

Goofy giggled "And we need someone to catch all our clumsy staff! Ahyuck!"

Daisy held the headset close to her "Okay.. Yes.. Got it.." She rolled her eyes "Pete's here."

Mickey looked at the stage as the first cartoon began to end "Oh great. Min?"

"I got it."

Rosella looked at the front, thinking that Minnie needs backup "Well, I better go..Nice meeting you."

He looked over to her and sent a lopsided smile "Just make sure you don't fall from any high places." Rosella smiled awkwardly as she bumped into the wall and cursed at herself "Bye."


"Lookie here mouse! I asked for this weeks rent!"

Mickey crossed his arms "And I told you! I gave it to you two days ago!"

"Are you calling me a liar?" Pete began to turn red as Rosella stood behind Mickey "Oh look who's here to defend you.. a little girl!" he began to laugh as Rosella turned to Daisy "Daisy, last week's schedule if you would please."

The white duck smiled "Gladly.."

She skimmed through the schedule "Oh, here it is.. Tuesday the tenth of January. Rent paid to Pete.. order received. Next rent due in exactly one month." She placed the book in Daisy's hand "It helps now to keep record of this.."

Pete began to huff as Mickey patted her on the back "Rosella you're a bonafide genius!"

"Rosella?" Said a voice behind Pete, who was now noticing the interaction.

Rosellas green eyes brightened "Daniel?" she stepped back to notice Daniel who was now an animated character like everyone else. He wore a nice business suit, with his brown hair slicked back making his brown eyes brighter. His eyes were noticeably bigger and animated, while he still remained his strong confident stature. He walked up to Rosella "It's so good to see you! This is unreal!"

"What are you doing here?"

Daniel slicked back a piece of hair in his face "Well, what happened was I.."

"Daniel?" Rosella looked behind her to see Derek, giving him a hateful glare.

"Mooney." Daniel's eyes narrowed "I thought you were a goner."

Derek puffed up "Well we all make mistakes.. Didn't really estimate hitting me so many times, did you?"

Rosella looked at Daniel in anger as he grabbed her hand "Come on Rosella, we're going home." She broke away from his grip "I'm not going anywhere…"

"What? You wanna stay with all these crazy animals?"

Rosella crossed her arms "They treat me better than my actual family would."

"Honey you're obviously hallucinating." Daniel grabbed her arm again "It's okay.. come on." he yanked on her arm. Derek was about to grab her from him when she broke away "No Daniel. I'm staying here."

Pete and Mickey chimed in, starting with Pete "You know this girl?"

"You know this boy?" Mickey said as Daniel crossed his arms "We used to be in a beautiful relationship."

Rosella and Daniel shouted "SHE'S/I'M NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND!" They both high fived each other and glared at Daniel.

"Believe me we're through Rosella.. I found Pete here.. he's the only rational person here.." Pete grabbed him by the collar "Come on kid.. I'm done talkin to these little twerps!" Pete dragged him out as Daniel shouted "You'll never get home without my help! You need me!"

Mickey patted Rosella on the shoulder "Don't worry about those bullies Rosella.. It doesn't surprise me Pete would find another stooge." Mickey rushed backstage "Promise me you won't worry!"

Derek nudged her "Ro? You alright.." she nodded softly and smiled "Yeah.. Yes. It's gonna be O.K."

Merlin.. please help us get home.
