Background: A brand new universe, based on the Tokyo DisneySEA show, the Magic Wishing Ring.
On a small island, Minnie is saying goodbye to her friend Mickey, an admiral who has to leave on his ship for a smile while to deliver goods. They've known each other since they were children, and Minnie is totally in love with him, though has resisted telling him her feelings, worried it might ruin their friendship. Before he goes, Mickey tells her that he has something very important to tell her, and that he'll tell her when he comes back home. As he leaves, Minnie wonders if he'll make it back in time for the Ring Festival. Every year, the island has a festival to celebrate the sea, and aside from games and parties, the big factor is a symbolic gesture at the port. A girl from the island is chosen as a 'goddess', takes a silver ring, and throws it into the ocean, making a wish.
These days, the choosing of the goddess has become less cultural and more of a popularity contest, and everyone knows Daisy will be the chosen one, since she is the prettiest one on the island. Additionally, the island waters have become much more polluted these days, due to people's greed. One night, there is an awful thunderstorm, creating strange colors in the ocean water. The TV the following morning reports that Mickey's ship has gone missing, possibly as a result as being destroyed by the thunderstorm. Though Minnie's friends try to assure Mickey is probably fine, she is still wracked with worry. As she laments her worries, walking on a sandy beach, she's surprised to spot a beautiful but injured woman laying on the shore. It takes some effort, but Minnie takes the woman home, tending to her wounds.
Minnie realizes that the woman has been holding onto a very pretty tiara that's missing jewelry. For some fun, Minnie puts on the tiara, pretending to be a princess and that Mickey is her prince charming. The woman suddenly wakes up, and although initially a little mad that Minnie 'took' the tiara,becomes gentle and explains what she is in fact a real goddess, named Temperance. They live in an ocean castle, protecting the world as best they can. However, as the world became more polluted, their powers decreased, and then one day, an evil sea fairy attacked the goddesses, and destroyed their magic tiara. Each of the seven goddesses(named after the seven virtues) managed to grab a piece of the jewelry and take it with them, with Temperance also taking the tiara.
Temperance says if Minnie helps find her sisters and the jewelry to restore the tiara, then they will give her a real magic wishing ring, able to grant any wish Minnie desires. Minnie agrees to help, hiding the goddess in her house as best she can. Without telling her friends the entire truth, she has Daisy and Clarabelle help her search on the island, while Minnie and Temperance sometimes using a small boat to sail the waters as well. Only when Minnie manages to go through a certain virtue do the jewels respond and can attach back to the tiara - Temperance, Charity, Diligence, Patience, Kindness, Humility and Honesty. As more goddesses show up, so do more characters, like the Three Caballeros, a traveling band (naturally D&D fall in love), Horace a boat mechanic (naturally C&H fall in love), and Goofy trying to take care of one of the goddesses by himself. (not sure whether to make one of them fall for the other or not)
Meanwhile, the evil sea fairy tries to send minions and monsters to stop Minnie's efforts, but keeps getting defeated. It turns out the fairy also was the one to sink Mickey's ship, using it as a new base of operations, freezing Mickey in a block of ice. When she realizes he is Minnie's weakness, she uses her magic to create a clone of Mickey, made out of all of seven sins and all of the darkness inside Mickey's own heart. This Dark!Mickey is a pirate, and uses a haunted pirate ship full of ghostly minions to try and attack our heroes. He even tries to convince Minnie to join his side, his own feelings now warped and possessive over her. But Minnie manages to accept the fact that everyone has some darkness in their hearts, and resolves to free him.
When the Dark Fairy manages to wound Minnie very badly, this breaks Mickey's spell, because even in the darkest of emotions, he still loves Minnie, and tries to save her. With the power of the jewels, the goddesses, and their friends, Minnie manages to defeat the fairy and banish her forever. The clone vanishes, and no one knows where Mickey is now. The day of the ceremony arrives, and the goddesses keep their word, and give Minnie the magic wishing ring. However, they also reveal that the last time they gave a mortal the ring, she used it selfishly, and the magic of the ring was corrupted, corrupting the mortal right back - resulting in the Fairy. Everyone assumes Minnie will use the wish to have Mickey brought back, but Minnie manages to make a pure wish, for the ocean waters to be clean again, knowing how important water is for everyone.
However, because the wish was pure, the goddesses gained back extra power, and as a result, everyone suddenly hears a voice in the crowd - "Minnie! I'm here!" It's Mickey! He and Minnie run toward each other, happily reunited, and now he can tell her what he planned to tell her upon his return... that he loves her, of course.
And now, onto the scenes! Onward!
By now, it seemed that all of the bleeding had stopped, and the beautiful woman that now lay in Minnie's bed was going to be all right. Exhaling in relief, Minnie sat down in her chair for a moment, trying to figure out just what was going on. She was certain she knew every single person on the island, and yet had never come across anyone like this woman. Silver hair that wasn't a sign of age, but actual silver that one would see in the shiniest coins, billowing down past normal lengths hair could go, even spilling off the bed. Her skin carried an unnatural glow, almost creating light in the faint room. Even her dress was something not quite earthly, shimmering in its splendor, very lovely despite the tears here and there.
Who or what could have hurt this woman so badly, and why? In Minnie's innocent nature, she couldn't come up with any reasons. The important thing was this woman was safe and sound, and her wounds weren't as bad as they looked. With the mouse's nerves settled, her attention was diverted to what the woman had initially been clutching to this entire time – an elegantly designed tiara, looping with odd curls and clearly missing some jewelry. It was still very pretty, fit for a princess. All at once, an idea was lodged into Minnie's head, and it refused to leave.
Delicately, quietly, she slipped out of the chair and loomed over the sleeping woman. Slowly, she reached over, and gently began to take the tiara out of the woman's hands – by now the grip had been lost entirely. She'd give it back, of course, but surely a few minutes of fun wouldn't hurt anyone. Suppressing giggles, she placed the tiara on her head, and looked at the vanity mirror above her desk drawer. Princess Minnie, it had a nice ring to it. She grabbed her skirt, and began to swish it around, pretending it was a long ball gown, and lost herself in imagination.
Princess Minnie! Her comely wooden home was now a gigantic castle, and she was the fairest maiden throughout the land. Hundreds of suitors were lined up to ask for her hand in marriage, but she wouldn't hear any of it. There was only one man for her heart, and she would wait patiently in the palace gardens for his arrival. Even in her fantasy, she still loved Admiral Mickey, but thanks to the fantasy, he was now home, and all of his care was all about her. How he confidently strode through the castle until he found her, and once he did, he instantly was on one knee, taking her silk gloved hand in his.
After he kissed it, he spoke with love in his voice. "Fair princess, I have traveled far and wide to bring you the finest jewels and treasure that the seven seas have to offer."
"That's very kind of you." Maybe she should have a fan to coquettishly wave in front of her face.
"But you're the loveliest jewel I've ever seen!" He held her hand tight with both of his, and even his eyes seemed to shine with true love. "Please, I must have you as my wife! I can't go on without you!"
"Then we simply must be married." She smoothly replied, carrying all the grace and purity a princess should have. He rose to his feet, and they shared their first kiss, so warm and tender and perfect in every single way. Then they had a most wonderful wedding, with everyone on the island invited, and then he was her prince charming and every night they would dance in the ballroom, and-
"Return the tiara at once!"
Minnie's illusion shattered, and she was now an ordinary girl dancing with a stuffed teddy bear. Freezing in place, her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment, eyes slowly going back to the bed. The beautiful woman was now sitting upright in bed, arms crossed, glaring at Minnie. She was even beautiful when angry! Minnie swallowed hard, taking the tiara off, and began to inch back towards the bed. "I-I'm sorry, I was… I was just looking at it for a second… And… touching it… and wearing it… I was going to give it back! Honest!" At the bedside, she shoved the tiara back into the woman's hands. "I was just playing pretend, that's… that's all…"
The woman held up the tiara, inspecting it without a word. Her face turned from anger into worry, sighing. "I was afraid of this… they really are gone." Even her voice was something inherently beautiful and mysterious almost as if Minnie had put her ear to a seashell. She fingered the tiara's holes, where jewels were missing, and then turned back to Minnie, ready to ask. "Where am I?"
"Oh, this is my home." Minnie relaxed, seeing the misunderstanding was glossed over. "I saw you lying on the shore, and I couldn't just leave you there, so I brought you here to help you." She shrugged, thinking the process was obvious, teddy bear put back on the drawer.
The woman looked at Minnie intently, and then placed her hand between Minnie's hear, touching her softly. The mouse had no idea why she was being pet, but didn't object to it. In fact, the touch was quite comforting, almost motherly. The woman gazed upon her, and then nodded in affirmation. "Yes, I can tell your actions were of a pure intent. I have no doubt that fate led me to your door."
Minnie was tempted to point out that she had led this woman to her door, and by led, she mean had to drag because while this woman was beautiful, she was also very heavy, but decided not to say so. "So… you're okay now?"
She removed her hand, putting it on her lap. "These wounds are only of the flesh, and will be gone shortly. Yours is a caring and helpful nature, and I believe you can be of great aide to our cause."
"…Okay?" The maiden wasn't entirely sure how else to reply to that.
"But all of your actions will be rewarded, this I swear upon." She motioned lightly to the teddy bear. "This 'Mickey' that you spoke of…"
Red automatically returned to Minnie's cheeks. "I didn't say his name!" At least, not in the fantasy, so she thought. It didn't occur to her how she looked or sounded like outside of it.
The woman raised an eyebrow to that. "I heard you saying his name several times in succession as I was waking up." She then began to count on her fingers. "Mickey darling, Mickey dear, Mickey my strong handsome admiral..." Fortunately, she stopped when she realized Minnie might just pass out from all the blood that was rushing to her head to create such a red hue of a blush. "… Your lover, I assume?"
"N-n-no!" The red one began to flail, shaking her head hard. "We're just friends!"
"But your feelings towards him are far stronger than that of friendship, as I am fairly certain you were just about to kiss your toy." She almost looked amused.
Minnie cleared her throat, hoping to stop this topic and avoid asking her just how long this woman had been awake before asking for the tiara back. "… If you want to talk to Mickey, he's not here. He's out at sea…" Then her voice went somber, remembering why she was walking on the shore in the first place. She went to sit in her chair again, her eyes cast downward. "… But nobody knows where it is now… there was a really bad storm a few days ago, and afterward, his ship went missing."
After a moment of respectful silence, the woman took both of Minnie's hands in her own. "Little one, lend me your aide… Your purity is just what I need, and in reward for your work… I will see that your admiral returns to you."
It was if the entire world had gone deaf to Minnie as she saw the captain step forward, for she could hear nothing and see nothing but him. She could not even feel the beat of her own heart as he came into the sunlight, the wood underneath his shoes creaking with each step he took. Blinking did no good, he was still there, this was still happening, this was no dream. There was her admiral, the love of her life, her very best friend, and yet… and yet everything about him was inherently wrong.
No longer was he donned in his respectable blue and green admiral uniform, but now in purple and white hues of a pirate's rags. His fur was tinted darker than before, and his eyes were faded into discoloration. His tall, proud stance with the occasional boyish trip was replaced by an arrogant swagger, sneering at the victims before him. Even the way he looked at her was radically different… before, it was with delight and friendliness, looking for any way to help her. Now it was leering, unclean, and sent cold shivers up and down her spine.
Minnie struggled in her rope bindings, trying to get up, but the minions of the ship held her down to her knees, almost digging their claws into her. "Mickey!" She cried out, desperate, still squirming in their grasp. "What are you… why are you… How did you…" She couldn't decide what question she wanted to ask first, knowing this situation was wrong for so many reasons. Granted, she and the latest goddesses she had managed to find, Honesty, being captured on a ghost ship engineered by the dark fairy wasn't exactly right in the first place, but to find Mickey here? It was mind boggling.
He merely chuckled, placing a finger on top of her lips. "One thing at a time, poppet." Even his voice had changed, from the high squeakiness she found endearing into a grating low sickness. "Aren't cha happy to see me?"
"Keep your filthy hands away from her!" Honesty snapped, also tied up, at Minnie's side, her eyes blazing with fury. "I can sense the dark fairy's work all over you!"
Mickey glanced over at her, lips curled. "And which one are ye supposed to be? Haughty, or hungry, or - "
"Honesty." The named one hissed, arching her shoulders. "And you can tell the dark fairy that she'll never win! Any minion of hers will suffer the consequences!"
"W-wait!"Minnie struggled again, almost scratching her legs on the wooden floor in her movement. "Mickey's not a minion! He'd never work for that witch!" Then she looked back to him for confirmation pleading in her voice. "Mickey, tell her!"
Again, he chuckled, and again, it just didn't sound right. "What can I say? The mistress made me such fine offers, how could I say no?" Minnie's eyes widening in horror and Honesty's growls didn't break his ego any. "I just gotta scoop up these girls, and then she'll help me take over the island."
"Take…?" Minnie repeated it out of sheer audacity, losing strength in her body. "But that's our home! Why would you want to take it over? What about our friends?"
"I don't have any friends." He cut her off, cold, his smile leaving momentarily, leaning forward dangerously with a hand on his pistol. "No matter what I did, they never appreciated me… All those jokes about me bein' short, all the mistakes I made, they treated me like I was just a joke! But now they'll treat me with respect!"
"They'll treat you with fear!" Honest spat, teeth bared.
Mickey rolled his eyes, and snapped his fingers to the monstrous minions. "Shut her up, will ye?" They obeyed, taking more rope to gag the goddess's mouth, though she bit and tried to fight against it. Once she was properly muffled, Mickey smoothed down his outfit, calm once more. "Like I was sayin'… Bein' a goody two shoes got me nothin'. The fairy's gunna help me get everything I ever wanted."
"It's not true!" Hot tears were making their way to Minnie's eyes, and her body shook. This couldn't be happening, not her sweet, innocent Mickey! "She'll trick you, she'll hurt you! You've got to snap out of this! She won't help you!" This wasn't Mickey, couldn't be Mickey!
The way he smiled now contained a grin that almost made her jump in its ferocity. "Oh, but she's already helped me get somethin' I wanted." Another snap of his fingers resulted in the minions untying Minnie, and forcing her onto her feet. He began to walk toward her again, and she instinctively tried to walk backwards, but the minions shoved her hard, making her trip and tumble right into Mickey's arms. He held her tightly, painfully, a snake coiling around its meal. How long she had dreamed to be embraced by him, and now it was creating utter terror in her. She jerked, but he would not release her. "No no, poppet…" He lectured smoothly, licking his lips. "Now that I have ye, I'm not lettin' ye go."
"S-stop it!" Now it became a resounding chorus in her head, this wasn't Mickey, this wasn't Mickey, this wasn't Mickey! She repeated it so much that it wound up leaving her body. "Y-You're not my Mickey!"
His hand came to cradle the back of her neck, with the other hand pressing hard into her back. "'My Mickey'? I like the sound of that." Before any further objections could be made, his mouth was on top of hers, all consuming and devilishly passionate. She could even feel his tail wrapping around her, refusing to let any part of her get away from him. It was enough to keep the tears pouring – she wanted her first kiss to be taken by Mickey, not… whoever this thing thought it was!
