HotXbun: One of my reviewers, Johnathen, gave me this idea. This one will be about Mickey and will basically be his origin story.

I also suggest doing some research on the film 'Mickey, Donald and Goofy in The Three Musketeers.' Probably the most underrated Mickey movie ever!

The beginning scene is also inspired by a scene from The Greatest Showman. Thankfully not an underrated film.

Chapter 6 From Rags to Riches

Mickey's POV

Some people are born into privilege, and some people are the exact opposite.

I was on the opposite side of the spectrum, being born into poverty.

My parents died when I was a kid, and the only orphanage nearby was ran by a mean lady.

Because of this, I was on my own out on the street...until one day.

I was about to eat an apple I had gotten my hands on...when I saw something.

I saw a duck quickly pass a bakery, grab a bread and run!

The owner angrily chased after him.

Wanting to see what happened...I followed.

Sadly, the duck hadn't been able to get away, and the man took the bread back.

This made me angry.

The baker had plenty bread! Couldn't he give one up to somebody who really needed it?

The baker left...and I walked up to the duck and held out my apple.

"Here", I said.

With that the duck took the apple from my hand.

"Thank you", he said. "But are you sure you want to give it up?"

"Helping others always comes before asking for help."

"But", the duck started. "You'll go hungry if you don't have it."

"That's okay", I stated. "I'm used to it."

"How about we share it", I heard someone ask.

With that I turned around...and saw a dog like creature.

"Sure", I replied happily.

With that the dog like creature sat down.

"I'm Mickey", I introduced. "What's your guys' names?"

"I'm Donald."

"And I'm Goofy."

From that day onwards, it was me, Donald and Goofy. And not long after that, somebody else joined our newly founded family.

We were walking through the streets when I heard whimpering coming from a box.

I looked inside it...and gasped in shock.

"Fellas", I said. "There's a puppy in here!"

With that Donald and Goody ran up to the box as I pulled the dog out and cradled it.

"Hey buddy", I greeted. "You okay?"

The puppy just whimpered.

"We'd better help him."

...

We sat in the alleyway we called home as the puppy ate.

"I can't believe we gave all our food away to a puppy", Donald said angrily.

"We couldn't just let him starve", I stated. "Anyway, what should we name him?"

"What", Donald asked. "Oh no! We are not keeping him!"

"Who says you get to make that decision", I asked.

"He's just gonna be another mouth to feed", Donald stated.

"Donald", I started. "The world would be a better place if people just helped each other out more."

This made Donald look at me in shock. Then in defeat.

"Fine!"

This made me smile.

"So", Goody started. "What are you gonna name him?"

With that I thought for a moment.

"Pluto."

"Pluto", Donald asked. "But that's not even a real planet!"

"You never know", I stated. "Maybe it can be something more someday. Maybe we can be something more someday."

From that day onwards, our little family was complete.

One day we were in our alleyway...when a group of men walked in!

I know you shouldn't judge somebody based on their looks, but these guys just looked sinister.

I grabbed onto Pluto and ran to the back of the ally with Donald and Goofy.

"Wh...Who are you fellas", I asked.

"Oh", one of the men started. "Don't worry about that."

"Just give us your valuables."

"We...we have none", I revealed. "We don't even have food! Please just leave us be!"

The bandits then laughed evilly.

Then something happened. Something that would change my life forever.

"Stop!"

With that I stretched my head...and saw three men dressed in uniform.

"Oh no", one of the bandits said. "It's the musketeers!"

Upon hearing this I looked at the men in shock.

I had heard about the musketeers before but I had never seen them with my own eyes.

They drew their weapons and looked at my friends and I.

"Hide kids", one of them commanded.

"You don't have to tell me twice!"

With that my friends and I hid before watching the fight, and we were in awe of the musketeers.

When the fight was done...one musketeer walked up to me.

"Are you okay", he asked.

"I'm fine", I replied. "Thank you so much!"

"Just doing my job", the musketeer stated. "Now if you excuse me, we need to take these guys to jail."

Then the musketeer did something. He gave me his hat.

From that day onwards, my friends and I wanted to be musketeers.

Years passed and eventually we reached our teen years.

Stealing food was just becoming harder and harder, so we decided to look for a job instead.

We were walking around the harbor, when we heard a man yelling.

"Ho ho ho", he said. "The name's Captain Pete! And I'm looking for a crew for my ship! Any of you ya who's want to sign up?"

So...we did.

Pete wasn't the nicest boss, but he gave us food and a roof over our head (even if it was a boat roof).

A few years passed and the musketeers held tryouts for new recruits.

My friends and I didn't get in, but surprisingly, Pete did!

He even got us a job working as uniform cleaners. It wasn't actually being musketeers, but at least we got to be near them.

It only took a few years for Pete to go through the ranks and become captain of the musketeers!

Then one day, he made our dream come true! He made us musketeers!

But not just ordinary musketeers. We were assigned to protect the princess.

I had heard about love at first site before, but I didn't think it was possible...until I met her.

I know it sounds cheesy, but the moment I met Minnie, it's as if I was walking on air. As if I could hear music. And a bunch of other cheesy romantic stuff.

I was extremely shocked when it turned out she felt the same way. I mean, a princess in love with a peasant boy? At first I thought she was just taking pity on me.

But she wasn't. She truly loved me. And I truly loved her.

It turns out that Pete had actually been trying to take the throne from Minnie the whole time! He made my friends and I musketeers because he thought we wouldn't be able to protect her.

But my friends are my power, and with them I defeated Pete.

I proposed to Minnie not long after that. Even though we had barely known each other, I knew I loved her, and she knew she loved me.

However a lot of people did not approve of a princess marrying a peasant boy. I still remember all the whispers and judgeful looks.

Then I learned that when Minnie married she would be promoted to queen, making me king. And as king I would have to rule.

I wasn't sure about this. I doubted that a peasant would be able to rule a whole kingdom.

But my loved ones believed in me. And so, Minnie and I married. She became queen, and I became king.

A little while after this, I was approached by a man named Yen Sid.

He told me about a weapon called a Keyblade, and asked if I would like to wield one.

I said yes and began training under him.

Time passed and my time to take my Mark of Mastery exam came, but instead I ran off with a Star Shard.

I ended up going on a crazy journey. And during this journey, I met a girl named Aqua, and a boy named Ventus (but he called himself 'Ven' for short).

I also met a man named Xehanort. He wasn't a good man.

I returned to Yen Sid's tower and I thought that I had failed my exam. But in fact, I had passed!

After that I returned to my home, Disney Castle, and stayed there for ten years. But then something happened.

Worlds started disappearing, and I knew I had to do something.

So, I left. I left my queen. My friends. Everything I knew and loved. But sometimes we have to leave what we love behind in order to protect it.

I ended up in a Realm of Darkness...where I was reunited with Aqua.

It turned out that she had been trapped there for ten years!

I did my best to save her, but in the end there was nothing I could do.

I also met a boy while I was in the Realm of Darkness. His name was Riku

Riku ended up becoming my apprentice, and one of my closest friends.

About a year passed and eventually everything got fixed and I was able to go home.

But everything wasn't fixed. There was still so much to do. Xehanort was going to return, and seven lights were needed to stop him.

Riku and I went back to the Realm of Darkness to save Aqua, but when we found her, she had fallen to darkness.

Thankfully Riku's friend Sora came and was able to save us and her.

Then came the final battle. It was a struggle, but we eventually won.

And now...I sit on Destiny Islands...thinking about my life.

I never expected It would ever end up this way...but I'm glad it did.

HotXbun: I'm not crying! You're crying!

Please forgive me if I got something wrong.

Challenge: Tell me which character should be next.

My Answer: I don't know! That's why I'm asking you!
