Minnie's corpse wavered on the edge. Then, it fell into the lake. It sunk down and was finally gulped up by the swirling sphere. Minnie's corpse floated in the center of it as Minnie came back to life. "What…happened?" Minnie asked as she looked around the sphere. She saw some images flash by. 'What is this place?" Minnie asked She put her hands forward and instantly, all of the images flew in front of her and started displaying pictures of things that had happened.
The first meeting with Mickey. When Mickey saved her.
When her parents told her never to see Mickey again. When Mickey dressed as a prince. How they fought off Mortimer.
How she went on their next adventure and was separated from Mickey. When she saw her kingdom destroyed. When Mr. Duck captured her. Seeing Julius and the Phantom Blot for the first time. How Mickey saved her. When she walked back to her kingdom.
The burial. When she decided to become a musketeer. Meeting Emil for the first time. Meeting Blared and his siblings. Her last meeting with his siblings. When Emil betrayed her. Her year long quest.
And then, she saw images of events yet to happen.
She saw Pete saying he was good. Her, Goofy and Donald together again. The sun becoming black. The Phantom Blot fighting her. A realm of darkness and Blared saving her along with three ducks she didn't know.
Then, came the events out of order. These images made her think of how sad and evil the world and her life was.
She saw the death of Pluto. Daisy being stabbed. Berscout ransoming off the children and blowing up the tower. She saw the Nightmare slithering through the water and Emil Eagle kissing her. She saw the Phantom Blot in front of the Gateway and him beckoning for something. She then saw Chip and Goofy on the floor, dead. She saw the young duck getting stabbed and finally, she saw the Gateway collapse with Mickey in it.
'I'll always love you.' Came the shadow of Mickey's voice. The she saw Mickey step from the swirling vortex, glowing golden. He smiled at her and Minnie finally felt her tears on her face.
'Mickey…" Minnie began. Mickey put his hand on her check. Minnie felt it and felt the warmth.
'Minnie, I am proud of you." Mickey said as he caressed her hair. 'But, let me go." Minnie looked at him. She was crying hard.
'No, I need you." Minnie said as she hugged him. 'I can't let you go. I gave my best and yet I still couldn't save you."
'But, Minnie, even if you didn't see any good at first from what you did doesn't mean it didn't do good. Take a rest. You deserve it." Mickey said as he pushed her away. They were holding hands and Minnie was floating away.
"Mickey!' Minnie cried as she struggled to hang on.
'Minnie, if you love me, then let me go." Mickey said. Minnie hung there, thinking of it. Then, she let go. She fell out of the sky, floating down to Paris bellow. She closed her eyes as she was slowly lifted to the ground and she stood there.
"I still love you." Minnie said silently to Mickey as she pushed him away. She walked down the garden path and into her castle, thinking no more of what had happened.
Minnie walked into the musketeer's headquarters. She was smiling broadly and picked up her papers. "Hello." Minnie said to the guard at the chair. 'Any business going on?"
"Yes, big business." The guard said.
"How big?" Minnie asked as she looked up from her papers.
"The fellow who poisoned you parents is reported in Paris today." The guard said.
"Berscout." Minnie hissed as she thought of him.
"We're sending some troops to the café we believe he will be at."
"No, I'll go." Minnie said as she picked up her book. "I need some experience. Just have some backup ready." The guard saluted her as she took off down the road. When she reached the café, she sat at a table and ordered a coffee. As she sat there, she thought of all that had happened to her during her adventure. Then, she thought of her experience in the whirlpool and thought of what Mickey had said. She closed her book and looked around. No sign of Berscout.
'You know what?" Minnie said to herself as she sat back in her chair. "I think I will take a rest." She sat back and closed her eyes, blissfully unaware that in only ten minutes her toughest and most dangerous adventure would start. That in ten minutes she would bring Berscout to justice. In ten minutes, her life would change forever. Despite this, she rested and for once in her life she felt
Relaxed.
