A/N: I don't own Disney, but I do own the magical remote control!

Chapter 5: The Seacrch Party is Formed...........For the Most Part
Basil: Oooooo...only one more chapter til I come in! Woohoo!

(We see now Lady Titania and Lord Oberon standing........somewhere. They are in deep conversation....)

Oberon: No! I won't hear it!

Titania: Oberon, we must help them, they are in grave danger.

Oberon: No! It's meddling!

Titania: No......it's called protecting the world order. With Mickey gone, the universe is out of alignment. If we don't set it back.....bad things could ensue.

Oberon: Like......

Titania: Behold...... (she holds out her hand and an image plays in it) This is the kingdom witout Mickey. (destruction and darkness abound in the image)

Oberon: Whoa, how did that happen?

Titania: The villains took advantage of Minnie ruling the kingdom alone......They conquered the kingdom and fed everyone in it to sharks.

Oberon: How original.........

Titania: Dear, this is no time for sarcasm. You must allow me to help them.

Oberon: Fine, fine. Help them if you must.

Titania: Yay! (disappears)

(meanwhile......in Mickey's Palace, two days after the disappearence)

Donald: Minnie, we're doing all we can. We've had several leads, but they were all bogus.

Minnie: (sob) I know, but could you try harder?

Goofy: Ahyuck, we're sending the royal regiment to go find it.

Merlin: (magically appearing) Why, that's quite unnecessary.

Goofy: How did you-

Merlin: Magic.

Goofy: Ooooooo.....

Minnie: W-what do you mean?

Merlin: The royal regiment needs to stay here to protect you while you're in charge.

Minnie: I-I'm in charge?

Donald: You are the queen....

Minnie: I suppose you're right.

(Daisy and Cinderella step into the throne room)

Daisy: Don't worry Minnie, we'll help you.

Minnie: Really?

Cinderella: Sure.

Donald: But what about Mickey!

Merlin: Well, we'll go out and find him of course!

Donald: Oh, okay. (has a double take) Wait..............who's WE?!

Merlin: Why, you, me, and Goofy!

Goofy: Gawrsh, you want me to help find the king? I-I'm honored!

Merlin: Well, I'm obviously running on limited resources.....

Donald: Just the three of us?

Merlin: No, the five of us!

Goofy: (counts the people) One, two, three- hey, where's the other two?!

Merlin: Why, they're not here yet, of course.

Donald: Well, who are they?!

Merlin: One is a little girl named Alice.

Alice: (walks up) Hello everyone, sorry I'm late!

Donald: (laughs) HER?! A little girl?! (laughs more)

Alice: I'm afraid I don't see what's so funny.

Goofy: (changing the subject) So where's the other one?

Merlin: Well, we're going to have to go get him of course! He doesn't know about his part in our mission yet.

Basil: That's me!

Donald: Who said that?!

Basil: Crud, forgot to press "pause"!

Goofy: Ahyuk, pause?

Basil: (presses "rewind" on the magical remote control) That never happened. (presses "play")

Merlin: Alright let's go!

Donald: Go where?

Merlin: Wherever the journey takes us! (they leave)

Minnie: (calling out behind them) Be careful!

(meanwhile........elsewhere......)

Maleficent: So, they're leaving the kingdom in charge of those three? (laughs) This shall indeed be easier than I thought it would be.

Hades: (laughs) It's showtime!
