"A more than one voice meeting?" Doc asked in confusion as she took a break from her television show.
"Yes!" Madeline, a former Disney star, said with a smile. "You have more than one voice actress from Disney, don't you? I do."
"Yes," Doc said with gritted teeth. "Why do you ask Madeline?"
"Doc…have you noticed that Princess Sofia seems to be down since Elena came along?" Madeline asked softly, skillfully avoiding her friend's question, and pointing to their gloomy best friend.
"Now that you mentioned it yes, I have" Doc admitted with a frown "Since January anyway."
"January?! Try July!" Madeline spat before resting her chin in her hand "I haven't had anything to work on in a decade. It's a wonder how I'm still here."
"Oh, right Madeline, sorry I forgot that Elena and Sofia's crossover came on November of last year" Doc admitted before patting Madeline's back. She had been too busy with her own show lately "And hey, don't worry Madeline, there must be something for you to work on. You're almost like another Sofia but without the amulet."
"Hey Doc, Hey Madeline" Sofia greeted the girls with a half-hearted smile "What's with the voice meeting tonight anyway?"
"Sorry Sofia, but you've had your single voice actress for the entire show" Madeline explained as she and Doc sat down with the princess "Doc and I haven't. Besides you've seemed down lately."
"Down?" Sofia inquired confused "What do you mean?"
"Since Elena showed up on Disney" Madeline explained passively
"Don't remind me of Elena, Madeline" Sofia said with a growl. "But I guess you would know what it's like to be replaced, grandma"
Doc sighed, having seen Sofia's moods before. "Sofia, please watch it."
"No Doc. Madeline hasn't had work in what, ten years?" Sofia asked with a malice coated laugh as Madeline frowned "Whatever, I really don't want to talk about it."
"Hey what's going on? Tell me what's wrong, I know there's something we can do. It might not be clear and that why I'm here. Tell me what's bothering you. Got something on your mind don't you kept it inside you're gonna be fine. Hey tell me what's wrong. What's going on?" Doc sung as Sofia started to cry.
Sofia sighed at what she was about to say. "Okay Doc, I wasn't going to tell you this but… season four is my last season. After that I'll be done. A has been, a washed-up princess, unlike you who gets a season five, and it's all thanks to Elena."
"Sofia, I may not have worked in ten years but I know something you don't" Madeline said with a smile.
"What?" Sofia asked with a sniff.
Madeline giggled, kicking her feet in the air "Oh, it's just that Tangled: The Series will be coming on March 24th to Disney so Elena won't be in the spotlight much longer!"
"Tangled? That's Princess Rapunzel!" Sofia exclaimed in shock.
"How did you know about it so fast, Madeline?" Doc asked in shock.
Madeline smirked and shrugged "When you've been around as long as I have, you get a knack for knowing things."
Sofia giggled a little at the comment, hugging the girl.
"Madeline you are one sneaky little girl" Doc said with a laugh.
Madeline smiled at the comment Doc had made "I know I'm sneaky. Duh. That's my main sell"
Sofia laughed at the comment before looking at her friend in pure unimaginable shame. "Thanks Madeline, you're the best and I'm sorry about before…I never meant to make you sad. There has to be a job for you somewhere in Disney"
Madeline shook her head unconvinced and her shoulders slumped foreword "Yeah right Sofia. No one wants a 2007 girl like me around. Besides all the shows are new."
"Madeline, let's ask at the meeting tonight" Doc suggested hopefully.
"Good thinking Doc, there has to be something for Madeline" Sofia said with a grin.
Madeline smiled at her friends, grateful to have them "Thanks girls, you're both such good friends"
"Hey it's no trouble at all, besides Mickey has had more than one voice actor so he'll be there tonight. If anyone can find you a job it's him" Doc said with a grin "Sofia, if your voice actress ever quits and is replaced, you're more than welcome to join us."
"Thanks Doc, but my voice actress will never quit on me...I Gotta go, they need me back on the set" Sofia said with a wave "Later Madeline."
"Sure. Later Sofia. I'm gonna get going Doc" she announced, looking longingly at Sofia's set.
Later that night
Mickey banged in a stool trying to set his ground as the head of the house of mouse, which was and has always been set since his hay days "Everyone please settle down!"
Every character from the past almost ninety years except for the lucky ones that had just one voice were in attendance as Madeline tried to sit still.
It didn't help that she was next to Donald Duck's nephews that had recently gotten new voices for their reboot.
"Want to go on adventures with me with boys, or are you too scared to leave your uncle's side?" Madeline teased with a smile.
"No way Madeline!" The triplets exclaimed together in dismay "Besides, we can't leave yet. Mr. Pete is babysitting us and he's by the door."
"At this rate Pete is never gonna get married" Madeline giggled to Huey, Dewey and Louie
"Madeline! shush please!" Mickey scolded as he saw Doc raise her hand. "Yes Doc?"
"Mr. Mouse, it's been way too long since some of us have had work" Doc explained, giving Madeline a wink.
"Doc, are you asking me to find something for Madeline to do after years of not having anything?" Mickey asked raising a brow in suspicion.
"Yes, Mr. Mouse, I am. Madeline has to be good for a show, even if it's only a small part!" Doc demanded confidently "Think about it."
"The last time I saw Madeline, Wayne was still my voice. Though… I've heard around the mouse house about her last two films and they're not so perfect reputations, but I do have to admit she is pretty good," Mickey admitted rubbing his chin in thought.
"Really Mickey?" Madeline asked with a gasp. She didn't want to get her hopes up yet.
"Yes Madeline, I've seen you looking over at the Sofia set so if it's okay with Craig and James Michelle you can be in one episode with her" Mickey promised as they shook gloved hands
Madeline giggled happily, wishes did come true as proclaimed in the house of mouse by many legends of Disney. "Thank you, Mickey."
