Mouse from Space - Chapter 07.
On the other side of the town, there was a smaller radio tower with one single building. This tower transmitted that few television channel that existed in the area, and Sunny Oak's radio. Mickey gazed upon the building with open mouth, wondering how tall it is compared to the other houses and shops. Minnie chuckled and dragged him inside.
The great hall was decorated with CDs, posters of different bands, even a few graffiti were painted to the wall. From the megaphone hanging on the ceiling music sounded. Minnie guided him to the first floor, where was a big studio full with different kind of machines, amplifiers, a tall shelf with tons of CDs etc. On the other side was a separated room, but they could see everything through a huge glass window. This one only contained a table with a microphone, and another machine.
Mickey just now noticed a person sitting inside, speaking into the microphone. It was a black rabbit male, one of the strangest figure the alien had seen so far. He had colorful clothes, a big hat between the ears, shirt and a long trousers with many pockets. Also he had piercings in the ears, a few necklaces and handbands. From the megaphones they heard his voice loud and clear as he spoke.
"...and now back to the music marathon..." his voice was cut by a sudden noise, as Minnie knocked on the glass. The rabbit moaned in surprise, then showed up one finger and turned back to the microphone "Ah ehm... now let's take a short break, dear listeners, but we will come back soon." said and switched off a button. With a sigh he put down the headset and walked out.
"Hey Ozzie!" greeted him Minnie with a wide grin.
"Be quiet woman! Maybe ya want to ruin my identity?" he immediately hussed, hissing through his teeth. "For public I'm O.Z. Bitt."
"Dude... Everyone knows your identity." folded her arms the girl with a bored sigh.
"Wha...? They do?" blinked O.Z.
"Sure, it's a small town. Everyone know each other. So stop this hilarious act Ozzie." said Minnie, playfully shoving the rabbit's shoulder. He moaned but chuckled.
"Geesh you still strong..." rubbed his sore arm Ozzie "And, what brought you here to my sanctuary?"
"Well..." fidgeted Minnie shyly for the first time. "I want to show you my new friend. But you must promise me something first." she grabbed Ozzie's hand.
"Please don't tell this anyone else."
"Tell what? Minnie you act kinda strange..." raised a brow the rabbit.
"Just promise me!" by the look she glared at him, Ozzie's ears flattened and his cheek became red.
"W-well... ahem... fine then, I promise..." coughed and hurry looked away "We're childhood friends after all." in the next moment he was tightly hugged by Minnie, making him yelp and blush even more.
"Thank you Ozzie! You're really a great friend!" smiled the girl. The rabbit nodded, indeed his mouth twitched a little.
"Heh, sure thing. And... who is that secret friend of yours?"
"Hehe he's a very special friend. I'm sure your jaw gonna drop when you meet him." chuckled Minnie.
"Him? S-so your special friend is a guy?" Ozzie asked with worry in his voice.
"Yup. But no worry, Mickey is a really kind one." reassured him the mouse, then turned around and pointed at a weird looking boy who curiously looked at the CDs. "Mickey, come here please." The mouse looked at them, slowly approaching the duo.
"This punk is your friend?" Ozzie folded his arms with a snort, his eyes sparkled furiously as he examined the newcomer.
"Mickey is not a punk, but an... an alien." answered Minnie with a fidget.
"Alien? Bah, don't make me laugh!" the rabbit couldn't resist a little stomp with his shoe "This is just a stupid brat with tattoos and painted blue."
"But Ozzie, why should I lie to you?" Minnie then glanced at Mickey, raising a brow "Hm? You'd like to prove him? Are you sure?"
"Who you talking to?" interrupted Oswald, whereof the girl pointed at the 'punk'.
"To Mickey of course, you don't hear him? Huh?" she changed a look with the mouse again "You say only those hears you who you make contact with? I see..." Ozzie blinked at them, slowly loosing his patient.
"Will you just stop this stupid game?" groaned, then, for his shock the other male began to undress. Ozzie yelped and made a step behind "Wha-wha-wha-what the heck are you doing?"
"Just watch Ozzie." reassured him Minnie. Mickey made a step closer to the scared rabbit, his marks shined up a little. In the next moment he reached out his tail and placed the pearl against Ozzie's forehead. The male almost forgot to breath in stun. He felt the same warm feeling inside his body like Minnie had, the the alien moved back.
"What you think? Really we can trust in him?" Ozzie heard a male voice, that came from the strange mouse.
"Of course. As I said he's my best friend." nodded Minnie, then quickly lowered her head "B-but really you needed to undress?"
"In clothes I couldn't use my tail to connect with his mind. And now I can breath finally!" opened his arms Mickey and took a deep sigh with his gills. in the next moment they heard a thud as Ozzie collapsed down, glaring at them from the floor in shock.
"Ozzie, you okay?" Minnie went to help him.
"I-i-i-it's an alien... a r-real alien!" stammered the rabbit, shaking in whole body. The girl touched his arm, trying to calm him.
"Yes, Ozzie, Mickey is an alien." she said slowly, Mickey tilted his head wondering, why the other is this surprised.
"S-so the rumors about the fallen object... it's true? It's really an alien ship?"
"Yes it was." now Mickey answered, however his mouth didn't move "But some strange person took away my ship, so currently I'm unable to leave this planet."
"You say like you not enjoy being here." frowned Minnie but smiled.
"Indeed your world is fascinating." agreed the other mouse "And I never see this kind of technology before. What are these?" pointed at the nearest machine, touching it accidentally. Suddenly the machine began to buzz loud and a strange wave of electricity blasted out, rushing through the cables, reaching up the tower and with a stronger impulse exploded on the top. The boom's strength broke many window, making few cars alarm.
"Wha... what the heck was this?" stammered Minnie, slowly looking at the broken window scared.
"I... I don't know... it happened again, just like with the apple..." answered Mickey staring at his paws in confusion.
"Now this was weird..." Ozzie let out whistle, then a grin crept across his face "But so cool! How did you do that? Hah? Maybe you sent a secret message to your kind about your location?" this sudden curiosity startled Mickey. "Tell me more about you! Your blood is acid? You can shot laser from your eyes? You..." the rabbit was yanked back by the ears.
"Slow down, bunny boy and if you give us time we explain you everything." told him Minnie with his long ear in her grip.
"Owowow sorry, Minnie. I-I just can't believe I finally can see one real alien." whimpered Ozzie.
"I'd like to answer any of your questions, but I also have plenty in my mind." Mickey rubbed his head awkwardly.
"What do you mean?" blinked the rabbit.
"Mickey lost his memories, he know nothing about himself." told him Minnie this time "But... what if we sit down and talk?" Ozzie stared at her for a longer moment, then nodded and they settled around a small coffee table, explaining the past day's events to their new ally.
It was already evening when Minnie and Mickey left the radio tower. They were on the way back to the farm, Minnie watched the road in front of her, but sometimes she took short glances at the passenger seat where Mickey snored.
"What a day..." sighed the girl, on her cheek a soft smile appeared "But I'm glad Ozzie accepted him. Finally we have an ally. This already make things better. And..." blinked down at the alien with a warm look "...together we will help you to get back your ship and memories. I promise, Mickey."
