We walked into the large kitchen in awe. I saw pots and pans of all sizes, an oven, and a questionable looking goose sitting, enjoying some freshly made cupcakes with bright colored frosting. Gus simply honked as Minnie entrered the room with me and Bastian at my side. Goofy looked at the goose and laughed "Well Gus, you're supposed to be serving those to the guests! Ahyuck!" he laughed as the Goose continued to eat.
We both sat down at the table meant to prepare food, and began to eat the incredibly delicious food Gus had prepared. I never imagined the day I would have eaten cartoon food before, but it was the most beautiful thing I've ever tasted… Elsa never cooked anything like this: Pride Land Steak, Got No Strings Gelato.. this has to be the best dream I have ever had. We were stuffing the food like maniacs in our small mouths, Bastian had Chip and Dale Chocolate Cake all over his face as I attempted to wipe it away with my own napkin, but he used his sleeve.
Minnie sat down at the table with us "So.. I don't mean to pry but where are you from."
Bastian spoke up, his mouth full of food "We fell down-" I nudged him quickly. As if this wasn't surreal enough, if we told them we came from another world through a magic hole in the ground, we'd be put in an insane asylum for sure. I gulped down the last part of my food "We... We're lost." Like this made the situation better.
Minnie fiddled with her gloved fingers, then perked up "Well we can call your parents-" she smiled. I interrupted her "We don't have any parents." I touched the necklace around my neck "I mean we do.. but we have no clue where they are exactly." I smiled nervously as Minnie and Mickey looked at eachother. Mickey spoke up "Do you two have anywhere to stay?"
I stayed silent for a short while "..No.. no we don't.."
"Anyone living in the area?" Minnie questioned.
I looked away in embarrassment "No."
"You mean all you have is the clothes on your back?" he looked at me, as I looked at what I was wearing. My navy blue maid dress was ripped, muddy and dirty from falling on the ground, my dark auburn hair tangled round my shoulders. I looked over at Bastian, who was missing his bow tie, and has been getting food all over the lapels of his jacket.
Minnie whispered something to Mickey, who instantly lit up "Min! that's a great idea!" he jumped and slapped his knee "You can stay with us!" me and Bastian looked at eachother in amazement as we both practically jumped out of our seats "Y-You mean it? I mean really?" I said.
"Of course ya can! You both can stay at Minnie's house!" Minnie nodded cheerfully as Mickey wrapped his arm around her.
In an impulse I quickly hugged both of them, then let go quickly "I don't know what to say! We have no idea how to repay-" my eyes brightened "I can work here! I mean I can work, clean, do anything.. we don't deserve this kind of treatment unless we help in some way.."
Goofy tapped Mickey on the shoulder "Well Mick, we do need another waitress!" he smiled as Mickey jumped up "That's a great idea.. and think nothin of it, you can stay until you get back on your feet!" I didn't know what to do.. I stood frozen until Bastian ran around the entire kitchen "We are staying with Mickey Mouse! How Amazing can life be! This is the best day in my entire LIFE!" he shouted as he jumped on Mickey, strangling him with hugs making him laugh.
Minnie patted my hand "Don't worry sweetie, we will get you some clothes tomorrow, and get your hair done, and-" she giggled "I'm getting ahead of myself!" she squeezed my hand "Trust me that you will really enjoy working here! It's like a big family!" the kitchen doors slammed open. Daisy huffed "Mickey! Pete's here!"
Mickey huffed "Alright.. I'll be right there!"
"No time!" Daisy said. Suddenly the doors swung open and a large fat cat entered the room wearing a white suit. He had a mean glare to him as he marched to Mickey, who attempted to stand as tall as he could "Mouse! Your rent is due!"
Mickey huffed and handed him an envelope "It's right here Pete." He quickly grabbed it, counting the paper in his fat hands. His eyes glazed up as he pointed to me and Bastian "You're attempting to run a business and you're busy feeding the poor?" he chuckled at his own remark as Mickey stood proudly next to us "These two are part of our new staff!"
Pete stayed silent for a moment until he laughed uncontrollably, making me mad. He was as worse in person as he was on television. "You're gonna hire these two runts and expect to make a profit!" he continued to laugh as I stood up "Mickey knows what he's doing!"
His eyes glared down at me "And who's asking you missy?"
"Rosella Genevieve Evans!" I tried to stand up higher, but he towered over me "If Mickey is able to handle your stupidity for over a hundred episo-" I stopped myself "Nights… he can be able to trust his restaurant with people like us!" he contorted his face as he marched to the kitchen doors "You better watch your back toots, it's not easy workin in a place like this." He exited as Daisy patted me on the back "First day on the job and you put him in his place!"
Mickey placed a hand on my shoulder "Ignore him Rosella, he's just a big bully. You're gonna be the greatest waitress here!…" he paused "By the way, how did you even know he's been here every night?"
"Lucky guess!" I quickly said as I smiled innocently.
Minnie laughed "Oh Mickey, she's going to be perfect here!" she grabbed my hand "Well I guess I better get you two settled, let's go to my place!" she grabbed her coat from the back room as I looked over at Bastian. He began to yawn and rub his eyes, I smiled and picked him up, allowing him to rest his head on my shoulder. "How cute." Minnie giggled.
I waved goodbye to the rest of the gang as we followed her outside the club, walking down the street to Minnie's wonderful home... home... sounds good to say.
I have to start to watch what I say.. This is gonna be hard. I huffed and thought to myself about that interaction with Pete "Close one…"
