Adventures of Dr. Whooves: House of Mouse Mayhem
A/N: Hey everyone, it's the first day of August and that means that next month I will be going to Salt Lake Comic Convention (we have to call it that since the SDCC in California won't stop pestering us about using comic-con) with my sister Yami Farie and my cute nephews, Monkeyboy and Cowboy!
Rainbow Dash: What's a comic-con?
Dede42: It's like the Daring Do Convention that you attended in the episode Stranger than Fanfiction, only it covers all kinds fandom.
Rainbow Dash: Cool!
Dede42: I know and I'm really- (Discord bursts in through the special door with a frantic expression on his face) Uh, can I help you with something, Discord?
Discord: We have troubles. Thanos finally solved the labyrinth and he's on his way to the castle to get the fake Infinity Gauntlet from the Goblin King!
Dede42: Uh oh, and he won't be happy when he realizes that the gauntlet is fake. Good thing you and I hid the real one in a safe place.
Rainbow Dash: What's so important about this Infinite Gauntlet thingy?
Dede42: Thanos collected all of the Infinity Stones, placed them in the gauntlet, and used their combined powers to wipe out half of the overall population in the Marvel universe. So, I had Discord swipe the gauntlet and replace it with a fake until we can get the real one to the surviving Avengers so that they can undo all the damage Thanos caused.
Rainbow Dash: That jerk! Why'd he do something like that?
Discord: In Thanos' mind, he believes that everything needs to be balanced, even if it means wiping half of the overall population in a given area, and make it possible for the surviving half to have what they need to survive.
Rainbow Dash: That's just dumb.
Dede42: Exactly, but try explaining that to Thanos. Discord, do you think he's reached the castle yet?
Discord: Only one way to find out. (he activates a viewing screen)
(Cutscene to the Goblin Town, where the goblins hide and watch as Thanos heads for the castle. He reaches the front doors and finds Jareth there with the gauntlet.)
Thanos: I finally solved your blasted labyrinth, Goblin King, and I'm here for what is rightfully mine.
Jareth: Yes, you did solve the labyrinth and here's the gauntlet as promised. (He gives the Mad Titan the gauntlet and the cuffs disappears from his wrists.)
Thanos: (puts the gauntlet on) Finally, and now to finish what I started. (He snaps his fingers and nothing happens.) What? What's wrong with this stupid thing?
Jareth: (shrugs) Maybe it's broken. Farewell. (he transforms into an barn owl and flies away.)
Thanos: (keeps snapping his fingers) Come on you stupid thing. Work! You worked before Discord- (he stops as realization dawns on him) DISCORD!
(Cutscene ends and returns to the writers studio.)
Discord: Oh my, he doesn't look happy does he?
Dede42: Nope, but he won't find his way in here thanks to all of the security improvements.
(Suddenly a rip in reality opens nearby and Thanos storms out of it.)
Thanos: There you are, Discord!
Discord: You were saying, Dede42?
Dede42: Dang it! I thought Dr. Hooves got rid of that rip!
Rainbow Dash: What do we do now.
Discord and Dede42: Run!
(The trio runs out of the writers studio with Thanos after them.)
Announcer: Due to the arrival of Thanos, this Author's Note has been cut short, and if anyone can find Dr. Hooves, please do so quickly!
Read, review, and enjoy!

CHAPTER THREE: MINKEY AND MINNIE ARE MISSING!
Over at the House of Mouse, Mickey Mouse was in the kitchen with Goofy and Donald, waiting for the arrival of their replacement chef. They still weren't sure about having Culinary Quint be their chef, but since it would only be a short time, they figured that it was worth it.
Just when they thought that the replacement chef wasn't going to show up, the back door to the kitchen banged open and Culinary Quint, wearing his chef outfit, entered with a broad smile on his face. "I, the best chef in the world, has arrived," he announced, dropping a bag full of cooking gear onto the nearest table. "I am Culinary Quint, and I am here to cook!"
"Well, welcome to the House of Mouse," Mickey Mouse said, shaking the man's hand. "I'm Mickey Mouse, this is Donald Duck, and Goofy. If you need any help, just talk to us."
"Oh oh, I will be sure to do that," the chef agreed, "now, I shall start the preparations for tonight!" And he turned to start issuing orders to the kitchen staff.
Mickey Mouse exchanged a look with Donald Duck and Goofy as they all left the kitchen to the new chef. They all had things to do before opening the nightclub at sundown.
In the main lobby, Donald Duck and Daisy Duck were make sure that it was ready for tonight when they heard a faint trumpeting noise that was gradually growing louder, and their jaws dropped when a tall blue box appeared next to one of the potted plants.
"Wah! We're being invaded!" Donald Duck wailed and ran from the room, screaming for help while Daisy Duck, on the other hand, cautiously approached the box when Donald Duck came back with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, and Pluto. "See?! See?! It came out of nowhere! Tell them, Daisy!"
"Oh, calm down, Donald," Daisy Duck scolded him and pointed to the words. "It's a Police Call Box, so I hardly call it a threat when we don't even know where it came from."
Donald Duck didn't look convinced and when one of the doors opened, he yelped and duck behind Goofy. "Look out!"
Mickey Mouse ignored the panicking duck and watched with interest as the three ponies stepped out, and he greeted them. "Hi, there," he said brightly, startling them. "Welcome to the House of Mouse, although we're not open right now."
"Oh, yes, I can see that," said Dr. Whooves, recovering quickly. "Sorry for our early arrival," he added. "I'm Dr. Whooves and these are my friends, Derpy and Sunrise Blossom."
"I remember you!" Goofy exclaimed brightly. "Mickey, this is the pony that brought me back after my unexpected trip to that land called – hum – it was called-"
"Equestria?" Sunrise Blossom suggested and Goofy nodded. "I take it you're the guy that accidentally wrecked my friend Rarity's shop a while back?" she guessed and he sheepishly nodded. "Just like in your shows, but don't worry, Rarity's boutique is back to normal – well as normal as things can be in Ponyville."
"Let's go to my office and we can talk more," Mickey Mouse suggested, and they all went toward the back to talk.
"…so, let me get this straight," said Minnie Mouse, "every pony in Equestria have seen our shows and movies?"
"Almost every pony, Minnie," Sunrise Blossom politely corrected her. "There are a few exceptions, but not many."
"Wow, I knew a lot of people watch our shows and movies, but I never thought they'd been seen in other realities," Mickey Mouse remarked, impressed. "So, what brings you all here today?"
Dr. Whooves answered that question. "We were invited by our friends Timon and Pumbaa, who are scheduled to perform tonight."
Just then, there was knock on the door, which opened the meerkat entered with the warthog. "Mickey, have our- Doc! Derpy! Sunrise Blossom!"
"Timon! Pumbaa!" Sunrise Blossom exclaimed as the two animals ran forward and they exchanged hugs. "It's great to see you both again."
"Same here, Sunny," Timon agreed and he then greeted the Time Lord and the pegasus. "Doc, good to see you and Derpy again, too. Glad that you all managed to make it."
"Yeah, I'm thrilled to see you all," Pumbaa agreed happily.
Mickey Mouse chuckled at the reunion and reminded them that there was still some work needed to be done before they opened tonight, and the group left to talk more elsewhere, while he turned his attention to some paperwork he needed to finish up before tonight. He was nearly done with the last page when there was a faint clattering sound outside his office.
He glanced at the door for a moment and then returned his attention to the page, signing it when there was another faint clattering sound. This time he put down his pen and went to the door, opening it. "Hello?" he called out, looking around the empty hallway and didn't see anyone. "Anyone back here?" Deciding that it was his imagination, he turned to go back inside when something zipped past, sending a cold chill down his back.
Feeling uneasy, Mickey Mouse snatched up an umbrella and began checking the hallway, clutching it in his hands. "Hello? Is someone here? If you're here for the show, then you'll have to wait in the lobby until we official open in a few hours."
'I better find the others and have them help me check on things,' he decided when there was still no answer, but he had the feeling that he wasn't alone. He turned to go back when he saw that one of the storage doors was open a crack when it'd been close earlier, and his curiosity got the better of him. Clutching the umbrella in his hands, he crept over to the door, and cautiously pushed it open with the tip of the umbrella. "Hello? Whoa!"
Suddenly something grabbed the mouse and yanked him into the shadows inside the room, leaving behind the umbrella on the floor outside the room.
A few minutes later, Minnie Mouse entered the hallway and she was heading to the office when she noticed the umbrella lying on the floor. 'Huh, why is that out here?' she wondered, walking over and picked it up. She turned to go back to the office when something grabbed her, too, and she was yanked into the shadows of the room beyond, the door shutting and cutting off her startled screams.
Meanwhile, Timon and Pumbaa were in the dining room with Dr. Whooves, Derpy, and Sunrise Blossom while Goofy, Donald Duck, and Daisy Duck were busy getting the last minute details ready for the opening of the nightclub in just a few short hours.
The friends were catching each other up on what had been been happening, including some of the adventures that the Time Lord and the pegasus had had so far, and the orange unicorn was mildly alarmed to hear about what had almost happen to Rarity on an unexpected trip to Agrabah.
"Oh my, I'm glad that everything turned out ok," Sunrise Blossom remarked. "So, just how many ponies know the truth about you, Doctor?" she inquired.
"A few more then I really would like," Dr. Whooves confessed. "Before it was just Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, and later on a number of friends I've made over the decades. And with the number of enemies I've made over the years, I fear that if too many others know the truth, they will be targeted as a result."
"Ah, don't worry too much, Doc," said Timon with a smile. "This is Disneyville, and everyone is on their best behavior around here. So, just re- Yikes!" Suddenly he duck under the table with Pumbaa following suit just as Culinary Quint strolled by with his arms full of white aprons for the kitchen. "What's he doing here?!"
Sunrise Blossom watched the man, frowning since she recognized him from certain episodes of Timon and Pumbaa's show. "Was that Culinary Quint?"
The meerkat peered out from under the table and nodded. "Yeah, but why is he here?" he wondered, coming out of hiding as Goofy strolled by with an armful of trays. "Goofy, why is Culinary Quint heading into the kitchen?"
"Oh, you already know the new chef?" Goofy asked. "Gus Goose is in the hospital and Pete brought in Culinary Quint to mind the kitchen for a bit."
"But – but he isn't a good guy," Pumbaa protested, also coming out of hiding. "He's a big meanie."
"Oh, I know that and so does the others," Goofy agreed. "Unfortunately he's the best we could find on short notice, and it won't be forever."
Timon and Pumbaa didn't look convinced, and they were thinking that they should reschedule their performance for a different night when Pluto came running into the room, barking frantically.
"Pluto, what is it?" Daisy Duck asked, running up to the yellow dog, who was trying to herd Goofy toward the back hallway. "Pluto, calm down!"
The dog refused to stop barking and they all finally followed him into the back after Goofy put the trays on a nearby table.
Entering the back hallway, the group followed Pluto to the storage room and whimpered as he nudged the umbrella with his nose. The Time Lord pushed the door to the storage room, revealing that it was full of boxes and other things, and the group gasped with alarm when they found lying on the floor the red bowtie that Mickey Mouse had been wearing earlier, and Minnie Mouse's hairbow.
Someone or something had taken Mickey and Minnie!
A/N: Uh oh! Who could've take them? You'll have to find out tomorrow. Providing that we're not being chased by Thanos still. Bye! R&R everyone!
