Hello everyone. First things first I haven't put the reminder up in a while so remember: Disney owns all the rights to the characters, places, and so on and so forth.
Now that that's out of the way. I want to thank all of you for your reviews, and for everyone who has been reading the story. Thank you.
And I would like to thank one of the reviewers who gave me an idea, for something that happens at the end of this chapter.
Now, on with the story!
After they had docked at the Dockyard, Donald and Goofy were once again tasked with carrying the chest. They didn't get too far though when a familiar voice called out to them.
"Hey!" shouted Daisy as she ran towards them, down a hill. "I'm so glad you're all back!"
Minnie instantly began to worry. "Why what happened?!"
Daisy shook her head, "Don't worry! nothing bad happened, but while Huey, Dewey, Louie, and I were searching Toon Town and Duckburg, we found, well, it be best if you see them yourself!" She turned around to look back at the hill, and yelled. "OVER HERE!"
From over the hill came an old, obese man wearing an old fashioned blue police outfit. "Hey!" shouted the man, with an Irish accent.
He was followed by a horse in a crimson bowler hat, blue overalls, a red long-sleeved shirt, and a brown horsecollar around his neck. And right behind the horse was a cow in a blue and red dress, with a cowbell around her neck.
Instantly recognizing them, Mickey and friends called out their names, "Chief O'Hara! Horace! Clarabelle"
They ran down the hill and stopped in front of Mickey, O'Hara was the first to speak while out of breath and leaning on his knees. "Whew… Al-alright. Whew… Your… Your Majesty… I...I ap… apologize for not comin' sooner." O'Hara stood up straight, and saluted. "The moment Ms. Daisy told me about what was going on, I immediately burst into action. I was able to help assemble a small force to help maintain order."
Mickey, curious as always, asked, "Oh? Who?"
O'Hara lifted up his left hand and extended his index finger, set his right index finger on the other, and for each name he extended another finger on his left hand. "Well, for starters, Jose and Panchito, Chip and Dale, Horace here, and against my better judgement Pete and Mortimer, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Also, I…" O'Hara looked around. "He should of been right next ta me…"
Horace spoke up, "Oh, he…" Horace looked around, and a puzzled look appeared on his face. "He was right behind me a minute ago…"
"Oh, he stopped on top of the hill and said something about taking a nap." said Clarabelle.
O'Hara looked back at the hill and shouted. "Get over here!"
As Mickey and friends stood puzzled for a minute, when a loud yell echoed over the hill.
"YIPPEE-YI-YA!"
And over the hill, riding on his horse, Widowmaker, came a man wearing a pink long sleeved shirt, a grey vest, green bandanna, blue jeans, grey chaps, black boots, and a black cowboy hat. Pecos Bill.
O'Hara shouted. "Pecos, over here!" Pecos rode Widowmaker up to where Mickey and O'Hara stood, and jumped off, landing in beside O'Hara, as Horace and Clarabelle dodged from being trampled.
Pecos smiled and slapped O'Hara on his back. "Hey there, Chief!"
O'Hara frowned. "Would ya quit, goofing off! We are dealing with a very serious matter."
Pecos kept smiling. "Oh, lighten up." Then Pecos noticed Mickey. "Hey there Mic! Heard about the problem that's goin' on. If ya need any help at all just give a holler." Pecos hopped back onto Widowmaker and went off back up and over the hill.
Clarabelle shook her head. "How rude."
Horace gave a sigh. "That's just the way he is."
Chief O'Hara sighed. "I can't wait till I get a proper force again."
Mickey smiled, "Well, hopefully you won't have to wait too long."
O'Hara looked up, and behind Mickey to see Minnie, Pluto, and then Donald and Goofy holding a chest.
"Wha-what'cha got in there?"
Jim replied "Treasure from Treasure Island!" O'Hara looked to the boy and then noticed the man behind him.
"Well, now. If it isn't Captain Long John Silver. Ya haven't been up to any pirate like activities now, have ya?" O'Hara asked suspiciously.
Long John replied, "I wouldn't dream of it, Long John Silver is an honorable man, who's only wish was to help restore time."
O'Hara gave him a 'I do not trust you one bit' look. "Of 'course ya would."
"Now, now Chief. Long John did indeed help us. So, I believe you can let him off the hook for once, right?" Said Walt.
O'Hara stood frozen, then he stuttered out, "O-of course W-walt! What-what ever you say."
Clarabelle, and Horace looked at Walt, and couldn't help the smiles on their faces from growing.
Mickey interrupted. "Um, Chief? Do you think you could clear us a path to the Cornerstone?"
O'Hara looked back to Mickey. "Alright then follow me." O'Hara started up the hill, with everyone right behind him.
As they reached the top of the hill, the ground started to shake. Donald and Goofy set the chest down, and held onto it for dear life, as the Earth shook.
Daisy screamed' "Earthquake!" as she clung to Donald. Walt had lost his balance and fell over. But, Horace and Clarabelle were able to catch him. Minnie grabbed hold of Mickey's arm, terrified.
Yet, Mickey stood tall, and looked around, until he set his sights on what he was looking for. Mickey smiled, for he knew this was no earthquake, but just the, rather large, footsteps of a friend.
In the distance, walking towards the group, was a Giant. He had red hair, wore a green long sleeve tunic, and a red short sleeved tunic, and blue pants. He was waving his right hand. His voice boomed out, "Hey! Mickey!"
Upon hearing his voice the group relaxed, recognizing the voice. And as the giant reached the group and stopped, Mickey shouted up to him. "Hey, Willie!" Mickey gave his signature laugh.
Willie smiled, and crouched down. "Gee, I was worried. I woke up, and I tought I'd come visit ya. And when you wasen't here, and I saw the big crowd, I asked them, and then, uh, that, um, cricket told me about what happened."
Minnie giggled, let go of Mickey's arm, and shouted to Willie, "Well, we're glad that you're okay! We were just on our way back, would you like to join us?"
Willie smile, "Sure, I'll be right behind ya!" The group continued their walk back to the Cornerstone, with Willie behind them, though he was walking very carefully, as not to step on anyone.
At some point while heading to the Cornerstone someone began singing, "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay. My, oh my, what a wonderful day." And everyone began to sing along.
Minnie held hands with Mickey. "Plenty of sunshine headed my way. Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Zip-A-Dee-Ay."
Goofy sung "Mister blue birds on my shoulder. It's the truth, It's actual. Everything is satisfactual."
Donald cut in. "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Zip-A-Dee-Ay. Wonderful feeling, Wonderful Day. Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Zip-A-Dee-Ay. My oh my what a wonderful day."
Daisy followed, standing beside Donald. "Oh, plenty of sunshine headed our way. Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Zip-A-Dee-Ay."
As the Cornerstone came into view, O'Hara and Horace began to part the crowds, to make room for Mickey and friends.
Pluto and Walt began to sing along. "Mr. Bluebird's on my shoulder. It's the truth. It's actual. Everything is satisfactual."
Then the crowd began to sing along. "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Zip-A-Dee-Ay. Wonderful feeling, Feeling this way. Mister Bluebird's on my shoulder. It is the truth. It's actual. Everything is satisfactual."
Donald and Goofy brought the chest up to the Cornerstone, and sat it right in front of the giant sphere.
"Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Zip-A-Dee-Ay. Wonderful feeling. Wonderful Day!"
As the song came to an end, the Cornerstone, and treasure chest began to glow. The world began to spin. Stars lit up the sky. A voice echoes throughout. "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!" Followed by a loud rooster call. Two stars in particular glowed the brighter then all the others. In the distance far away from the cities, trees popped up all over the place, with a dirt road leading into it. Next to that road stood a sign that said: 'Welcome to Brownstone National Park!'. Barking could be heard, then a name flew by on the wind: 'Davy, Davy Crockett…'. Then the ground began to shake. The Cornerstone began to sink into the ground. Mickey tried to run to it, but then the construction equipment and supplies transformed into white brick, and quickly grew into walls. The walls began to form a building. Some into towers. On the building and towers, blue cones appeared, creating roofs. The place where Mickey stood, also began to transform. The grass beneath him turned to pavement. Old styled buildings grew out from the ground alongside the new road. Eighteen attraction rides surrounded the Mark Twain Riverboat, and Dumbo the Flying Elephant to name a couple. The areas surrounding the building that stood where the Cornerstone used to be, took on new forms. And Mickey could name them all. Fantasyland, Adventureland, Tomorrowland, and Frontierland. And the building at the center of it all grew, and grew, until finally it took on the familiar shape of…
Disney Castle
Walt's voice sounded throughout. "To all who come to this happy place: Welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America, with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world."
The world stopped spinning. The stars dimmed down. That same sign that always appeared, reappeared and said: Year: 1955. Mickey looked around. He was standing on Main Street, right in front of the Castle. Mickey was in his iconic clothing. He looked to his friends. Minnie was in her iconic pink polkadot dress and pink polkadot bow. Donald was in his sailor outfit. Goofy was wearing an orange sweater, black vest, blue jeans, and green hat. He looked for everyone else. There they all were right in the middle of Main Street. But, there were also characters that hadn't been there before. Alice, Peter Pan, Wendy, Michael, John, The Lost Boys, Lady, Tramp, Davy Crockett, J. Audubon Woodlore, Professor Owl, and his class, Gyro Gearloose, Gladstone, Johnny Appleseed, and Lambert, just to name a few.
Mickey gave a confused look as to why the characters were appearing here instead of at their home worlds. When Yen Sid walked up from behind him.
"Mickey." Mickey jumped with surprize, from the voice that came from behind him. Yen Sid continued knowing a full well as to what Mickey was wondering. "The powers of the Castle must have sensed the dangers, and summoned them here."
Mickey looked back to the crowed, where Jiminy was already gathering the newcomers, to explain everything. "Gosh, I never knew the Castle was that powerful." Mickey smiled.
"There are still many things in these worlds that even I don't know how powerful they are." Yen Sid began to walk down to join the crowd.
Mickey walked up onto a platform in front of the Castle, to get a better view of everyone. More and more characters gathered around Walt. O'Hara and his temporary police force were busy getting everyone to be calm and in order. Mickey looked to the building of Main Street. Thinking to himself that they look so different, yet not so different from the ones in his time. Then a shout from Goofy caught Mickey's attention.
"MAXIE!" shouted Goofy as he ran right to a small boy.
"DAD!" shouted the boy, as Goofy picked him up into a hug. tears rolled down both of their faces.
Goofy whispered into Max's ear, "I was so worried about you." Goofy's hug tightened.
"I missed y-you too" Max choked out, not so much from being crushed in the hug, but more so from being separated from his father, and trapped in a mysterious place. They hugged and cried for some time, until they ran out of tears. But neither one of them would break the hug. Then from somewhere in the crowd a feminine voice called out to them.
"Goofy! Max!"
Goofy's smile disappeared, and was replaced by a blank look. He instantly turned to where the voice came from. Max had also turned to the voice. In the crowd stood a lady with red hair, wearing a pink dress, staring right at the two Goofs. Tears filled Goofy's eyes once more. Max looked to the lady, then back to Goofy, then back to the lady.
In a quiet voice Max asked his dad, "Dad… is th-that…" Max paused to take a breath as he was nervous, and afraid the lady might disappear the moment he'd finish his sentence, "...Mom?"
Yep, that's right! Goofy's wife is alive again! Wow, that's... that's not gonna be easy for me to write... I may not go to much into their reunion, and it will probably be really bad. So don't expect much from me...
But in other news, there's a storm coming, and it may not be the next chapter, but... It is coming. (Evil laugh)
