"Wait a minuet" Rickey stated " That dosen't explain why the Cog's came along!"

"That, was only the first part of the story" Mickey said leaving him in suspense. He was about to begin the second part of his story when they had reached his office

"Oh, look at that, we're here" Mickey didn't realize his story took up that much time.

"Anyway, follow me"

Chapter 3: Mickey's gift and a discovery

Ricky followed Mickey thru the building. He had expected a buisness building, but instead he saw long hall with numerous stairs.They began their long climb up the stairs

"gasp Mickey...weeze could'nt ya spring for an elevator?" Ricky screamed in exhaustion.

"We had to cut the buget somewhere..." Mickey stated.

On the walls were many pictures of Mickey in early cartoons from "Steamboat Willie" to "Fantasia". The hall had seemes endless till they reached a door.

"Ah, here we are"

Mickey opened the door to reveal a room with a lager window which overlooked Toontown. On one wall was a large painting of Mickey, Donald and Goofy. On another wall was a shelf, on it, was the hit game Kingdom Hearts.

"What's that?" Ricky pointed to Kingdom Hearts.

"Oh..that? I while back I got a game deal with the human world...although it's taking forever to relese the sequel." Mickey pointed out.

"so, why did you bring me here.." Rickey asked

"First off I wanted to give you something.."

Mickey punched in a code on a safe and it opened. Inside, was a picture of minnie, the keyblade from Kingdom Hearts. a black hoodie from Kingdom Hearts 2 and the Fantasia hat. Mickey took out the Fantasia hat.

"YOUR GIVING ME YOUR WIZARD HAT?"

"I have no use for it" Mickey stated" you take it"

Rickey could express his graditude.

"thanks Mickey" rickey said.

"No problem" Mickey said with delight "and second off...can you keep a secret?"

Rickey nodded.

"good" Mickey said, making sure they were the only ones around. "Have you ever wondered were the cogs come from and how the built the HQ near daisy gardens?"

"yeah"

"well Mickey said" There is a place, a dark place called Cog City. that's were all cogs come from.

"WHAT?" Rickey screamed" THERE'S A WHOLE CITY OF 'EM?"

"SHHHH" Mickey shushed him " DO YA WANT ALL OF TOONTOWN TO KNOW?"

Rickey immediently stopped yelling.

Mickey just sighed "we'd go there but not Toon that's gone there has ever returned." Mickey hung his head down "I don't know what to do anymore Rickey.."

Rickey could see that Mickey was in a sad mood.

"Maybe I should leave" Rickey said as he headed for he door.

Mickey did'nt even respond.

"Um, I'll see ya soon"

Rickey made his way out the building and headed to the playground. His did'nt know it, but his discovery about Cog City was just the beggining.
