A pair of eyes opened to a pink blue with a little yellow on top. The eyes focused on Colette Brunel, who looked relieved to se the eyes' owners wake up. She looked off to the eyes's owner's left.
"Raine! Sheena!" She shouted. "Genis is finally awake!" The eyes, Genis' eyes, then saw Raine & Sheena come over to his bed. All 3 girls were in white fuzzy robes.
"Genis, are you awake?" Raine asked.
"Uh, huh?" Genis asked, drowsily. He then looked down at himself & saw that he was wearing the exact same thing the others were. "Wha?" He said. "Where did my clothes go?" He then looked up at his female friends. "Come to think of it, where are ALL our clothes?"
"Right here." Came a voice. Genis & the girls looked to Genis' right to see the queen mouse. Behind her, some brooms with arms on them were bringing their clothes to them. Genis was shocked to see this. The broom walked up to him & handed his clothes to him. He silently took them, still staring at the broom as it turned around & walked away.
"What the?" Genis asked.
"I know." Sheena said. "I was weirded out the first time I saw those guys too."
"But who are they?" Genis asked.
"These are Queen Minnie Mouse & her servants." Raine said. "She helped to get us here."
"She did?" Genis asked.
"Why yes, I did." Minnie said. "My servents found you in the pond outside the castle." Genis jumped at this.
"C-castle?" He asked. "This place is a castle?"
"Yes, Genis." Raine said. "Apparently we're in a place called Disney Castle." Genis looked at her.
"Disney Castle?" Genis asked.
"Yes, Genis." Minnie said, having learned his name just earlier. "This is the land of Disney, ruled over by me & my husband, King Mickey."
"I see." Genis said. "Where is your husband?" Minnie hung her head a bit. "What, was it something I said?" Raine turned to Genis.
"The king left on a journey a few weeks ago, & never came back." Raine explained.
"Oh." Genis said. "I'm sorry, maam." Minnie looked at Genis & smiled through her tears.
"Don't be, Genis." Minnie said. "You didn't know."
"But still, I feel awful for making you relive the pain of missing him." Genis said.
"Well, don't worry, Genis." Minnie said. "I know he's on a quest to bring peace back to all the worlds."
"What?" Genis asked. "Worlds?"
"Yeah, Genis." Colette said. "Her husband, the king, is on a quest to save a multitude of worlds from destruction."
"Huh?" Genis asked, then looked at Minnie. "Really?"
"Yes." Minnie said. "Apparantly, the stars started going out quite some time ago, & my husband went to see what was causing it. I recently heard from him that he was saving the worlds from creatures called the Heartless. Beings without hearts that want to cause destruction."
"Really, Minnie?" Genis asked.
"Yes, Genis." Minnie said.
"Hey, speaking of worlds… " Sheena said. "Are we still in ours, guys?"
"Unfortunately, no." Colette said. "The mana signature doesn't match Symphonia." Genis' eyes widened in frightened realization.
"You mean… " He said. "We're in another world?"
"Seems like it, Genis." Raine said.
"So, how do we get back?" Genis asked.
"Well, we'd lend you the Gummi Ship." Minnie said. "But our royal wizard & the captain of the guard already took it quite a while ago." Genis felt a little bit hardened by that.
"So you're saying we're stuck here?" Genis asked. The girls looked hardened by this as well.
"Looks like it, Genis." Sheena said. Then Raine's eyes lit up as she thought of something.
"Hey, we could use the reihards." She said. The others looked at her, Sheena & Colette with hope, Genis… not so much.
"You think it'll work?" Colette asked.
"Not a chance, Colette." Genis said. "The reihards are not good for space travel. We're on another planet. We could be thousands of light years away from Symphonia." The others were hardened by this.
"He's right." Raine said. "We're practically stranded here."
"Not quite." Minnie said. "We've still got 2 mechanics left." Everybody looked at her.
"You do?" Genis asked.
"Yes, we do." Minnie said, she turned to a nearby broom. "Can you get Montaray Jack , Zipper, & Gadget in here, please?" She asked. The broom saluted her, did an about face, & left. Genis just stared after the broom. Minnie noticed this & smiled at the boy.
"Your curious about them, aren't you?" She asked. Genis looked at her.
"Um… " He said. "Well… " pausing again, then nodding. "Yeah, actually." Minnie giggled at this.
"Donald created them by bringing all the brooms to life." Minnie said. "They've been very valuable to us ever since."
"So, Donald is the name of the wizard?" Sheena asked.
"Well, yeah." Minnie said. "He's had quite the crush on Daisy."
"Who's Daisy?" Genis asked.
"She's an aristocrat who lives in the castle." Minnie explained. "She really likes the wizard, Donald."
"I see." Genis said. He then pulled the Northern Lights out of his clothes. "You know, I know a bit of magic."
"You do?" Minnie asked.
"Yeah." Sheena said. "He knows a variety of magical attacks. Including this attack called Meteor Storm." Minnie shuddered a bit.
"On second thought." Minnie said. "Maybe you shouldn't use such destructive magic."
"I'll say." Said a raspy voice with an Australian accent. Everybody turned to the source of the voice & saw the broom come back with a mouse in each hand. In the left hand, was a fat male mouse wearing a light green shirt underneath a gray jacket. He also had a red mustache. In the right hand was a thin female mouse wearing a pink-ish purple shirt & pants of the exact same colour. She also had goggles sticking out of her blonde hair & a pink nose. Near the fat mouse was a small bright green fly wearing a red t-shirt. "That's no trick I'd wanna see. Sounds deadly." Genis, Sheena, Colette, & Raine took a look at the 2 mice, & sweatdropped.
"Those are your mechanics?" Genis asked plainly.
"We may be small, but we're really handy." The female mouse said. Minnie walked over to the broom & presented the mice & fly.
"Genis, Sheena, Colette, Raine." Minnie said. "I would like you 4 to meet 3 of our castle's 5 mechanics. Gadget, Montaray Jack, & Zipper." The mice & fly waved at the group."
"Hello." Gadget said.
"G'day." Montaray said.
"Bzz bzz." Zipper said.
"Oh, Zipper says hi." Montaray said.
"Um, hi." Genis said.
"So, we understand ya got some stuff ya want us to modify so it can travel as fast as the Gummi Ship." Montaray said.
"Uh, yeah." Genis responded. "You think you can do that?"
"Sure we can, mate." Montaray said, then turned to gadget. "Right, Gadget?"
"You bet, Monty." Gadget said. "So, what do you want us to work on?"
"Our reihards." Raine said. "We'd like them to be able to travel in space like your Gummi Ship."
"Sure thing, mates." Monty said. "Uuh, what's a reihard anyway?" Sheena walked up to the broom who was holding them.
"I could show you." Sheena said, now back in her own clothes.
"Alright." Monty said. He then looked at the broom. "To the workshop." & with that, the broom turned around & Sheena followed it out the door. Genis looked at them, then turned to Minnie.
"You think they can alter the reihards so they could move like this Gummi Ship thing?" He asked.
"Sure I'm sure, Genis." Minnie replied. "Next to Chip & Dale, Montaray Jack, Gadget, & Zipper are the finest mechanics in the whole castle."
"I hope you're right." Genis said. "I don't think they've ever seen a reihard in their whole life."
"Well, they've done amazing things before." Minnie said. "& your friend seems to know about this reihard thing. I'm sure it's possible."
"Oh, well." Genis said. "What do we do until then."
"I suggest we get dressed, Genis." Raine said, holding up her neatly folded clothes.
"Ummm, alright." Genis said, blushing a little bit. Raine sweatdropped & her eyes turned into 2 thick horizontal black lines with dots underneath them.
"You change first, Genis." She said. "We will wait outside." & with that, the 3 girls walked outside. Genis watched after them, then he got out of bed. He looked down at his clothes.
"Well." He said, "Better get dressed." & with that, he put his clothes on his bed & reached for the belt holding the robe on his body.
