"Honey we have to go now.." the man held the little girl close to him "We need you to be strong for you and your little brother.." the little girl started to cry "Please don't cry darling.." he picked up her chin so that his green eyes met with hers "It's only for a month.. it won't be long." He kissed her on the head as a tall woman with fire red hair held the little girl close to her "Rub those tears away.. its going to be okay.. your aunt Elsa will take care of you, I promise.." the woman rose up and looked at the other woman in the old house "You promise it's okay Elsa?"
"Its fine." She said shortly. The lady rolled her eyes at the small children "Just as long as they pick up their mess." The man held a baby boy in his arms, who was clinging to his jacket, Elsa looked at the baby and cringed "I hope he's not too much trouble."
The baby gurgled, causing a little drool to go down his cheek "He's only a year old.. he's fine." The father said to her with a scowl as he lovingly kissed the baby's head. The mother handed Elsa a package "I need you to hide this.. just until we get back." Elsa quickly grabbed it and stuffed it in her pink robe "Anna you know I don't deal with things like this.. Especially in this household."
Anna sighed and looked at the children once more "I love you sunshine." The little girl held her Mickey Mouse doll close to her as tears began to roll down her face, the man handed Elsa the baby as they walked off the porch, into the truck, which was getting wet by the pouring rain. The truck disappeared along the dirt trail.
I love you sunshine..
I love you sunshine..
…love you sunshine…
….sunshine…
My eyes started to slowly open, images.. almost cartoon like as I slowly got up. My head hurt as I fell over again out of disiness. I took a look around my surroundings, It was the same property, the same tree… but something seemed.. different about it.. like it was a drawing. I looked up at the sky, a dark blue.. nothing like it was at home. I heard a rumbling sound on the wet grass as I looked next to me.. the hole we came through was beginning to evaporate! I stood there frozen, watching our only entrance to our world evaporate before my eyes! The hole dissappeard, I looked around without falling down in a panic. I saw many.. hard to explain… animated characters walking along sidewalks, driving cars.
I walked out on the sidewalk to only bump into a dog? "Hey watch it!"
I stuttered, amazing I was able to talk "I-I'm so sorry!" the man-dog? Walked away from me in a huff. Luckily a nice lady tapped me on the shoulder "Are you alright dear?"
I looked around, memories suddenly rushed back to the main problem at hand. I can't find Bastian! I muttered to myself "Bastian.."
"What?" the lady asked. I didn't know what to do so I ran. I ran into oncoming traffic, but the cars moved almost comically out of my way. "Bastian!" I shouted. I ran down a street of busy people "Bastian!" My burgundy hair flying in my face, I sat down in front of a department store. Curiously I looked in the window at a shocking display.. my once human features.. well.. animated..
I know it seems ridiculous, bear with me.. My eyes were larger and brighter, but not scary.. like a cartoon.. my hair was about an inch longer and an almost dark cherry red.. I no longer looked human but like a cartoon character.. like I was drawn on paper. I stared at myself for a while.. the passersby began to be concerned as I looked around and started to run again.. but what amazed me is how fast I could run.. I didn't know being this animated meant I could run fast. I quickly ran around the entire "city" until I ran out of breath. I looked up at this large building, a white sign that was lit bright in the night sky... this was a much too familiar building.
I read aloud "The House of Mouse" could it be? I suddenly felt dizzy again as I fell over… then everything went black.
"Poor girl..What do ya think Minnie?"
"Gwarsh.. did she just faint in front of ya Maxie?"
"Yeah.. I saw her stand in front of the club then.. plop."
"She looks like that other kid that-"
"Shhh Donald!.. she's waking up!"
My eyes slowly opened again as I took in my new surroundings.. right in front of me.. it was surreal. Minnie Mouse sitting next to me, dabbing a wet cloth on my head. Goofy and Max Goof standing at the foot of the red couch I was on.. staring in concern. Then Donald staring at me with a curious stare.. and.. oh my gosh… Mickey Freaking Mouse in the doorway, with Pluto close behind. The yellow dog ran up and started to lick my face, making me laugh.
I heard Mickey's heartwarming laugh "Pluto! Down boy!" he grabbed the dog and smiled at me "Sorry, he loves new people." He scratched his head "Heard that you fainted in front of our club, are you alright?"
I rubbed my head "I think so.." I attempted to get up as I felt Minnie gently set me back down "Please don't get up. You look pale.." she smiled as she spoke again "You had quite a fall there.. Max here had to carry you inside.." she pointed to Max, who waved nervously.
"Thank you so much.. can you..I.. Um…. Can you tell me where I am?"
Goofy perked up "Why this is the House of Mouse! Ahuyck!" he laughed, and made his son hide his face in his hands.. which made me laugh. I hardly couldn't believe what I was experiencing right now.. I could hardly contain my excitement. I sat up in my seat as Mickey laid out his hand, and shook mine "Mickey Mouse! Nice to meet ya!" this was surreal.. I was in front of my favorite characters that I would watch in the attic with Bastian.. "Wow if Bastian were here…" my eyes went wide "Bastian!" I ran out of my seat "I need to find my brother.. I'm sorry.." I walked outside the dressing room door as Pluto ran and jumped in front of me barking with concern, Mickey grabbed my hand gently "Miss, we really think you should stay here." He patted me on the shoulder as I began one of my panic attacks again "But I need to find my brother.. he-"
Donald grabbed my other hand, less gentle than the mouse next to me "Look toots you just need to calm down." He earned a slap on the shoulder by Minnie, who smiled back at me "Just sit down for a couple minutes miss.. well.." she giggled "Well we don't know your name!" They all stood around me as I shyly answered the cute mouse's question "My name is-"
I heard a shout behind me, I turned around as I made eye contact with Bastian! He had looked animated as well, almost half a head shorter than he usually was, his wild orange hair flying in his face "Rosella!?"
"Bastian!" I ran to him and held him tightly, not wanting to let go. I combed my fingers through his hair as I looked up at his "new" face "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
"You know this little guy?" he laughed "We found him about an hour after we found you!" Mickey patted him on the shoulder as I answered "He's my brother, I thought I lost him.." I hugged him again as he picked up the necklace around my neck, he whispered "The stone.. Its not red anymore.." I looked down at my necklace, the once red stone in the middle in fact turned into a sparkling white diamond. I shook my head and shrugged my shoulders "That's the least of our worries.."
Minnie grabbed my arm "You both look pale.. we can get Gus to cook you up something." She gently lifted me from Bastian's height, headed to the kitchen. He grabbed onto my hand and squeezed it, I squeezed back, letting him know we are going to get through this crazy dream.. I hope.
