Summary: Minnie takes Pluto for a walk. She's surprised at what's to be found when her and Pluto return.
Minnie had to walk Pluto that day, because Pete needed help down at the wharf, with the steamboat and cargo alike, so for once, Mickey actually chose to work. Or, at the very least, that's what he told her.
The streets were full of bustling people, going every which way. The sun was shining brightly (well, as brightly as it could in a world of black and white) and it seemed like it'd be a wonderfully clear day. "Well, Pluto, are you ready to go home?"
A loud, enthusiastic bark was her reply. So they turned and went towards Mickey's house when Daisy Duck appeared. "Hiya Minnie! Whatcha doin'?"
"Oh, just walking Pluto for Mickey," the mouse explained, smiling as she remembered Mickey's expression as he asked her to walk him just this once. "He had to work."
"Uh-huh. Wanna stop by my house for a second? I have a hairbow of yours that I need to give back," Daisy looked at her nails, waiting on her friend's answer.
"Sure! But it'll have to be quick, I'm almost late for dropping Pluto off."
The two walked into the duck's house, and after retrieving the hairbow, they hurried to Mickey's shabby little house. As they approached the small picket fence, Minnie dropped the leash and Pluto ran to the yard.
Daisy managed to get in front of Minnie and led her to the front door. When it opened, Mickey stood in the center of the room and yelled, "Surprise!"
He was holding a good-sized box wrapped in pretty paper for Minnie. "Open it!" he urged as he handed it to her. By this time Daisy had left, leaving the two friends alone.
It was a dress.
For it being a black-and-white world, this was the most beautiful dress Minnie had ever seen. It had small sparkles spread all over it, giving it a shimmer effect. It must have been expensive!
"But… How… Mickey, you splurged on me! You shouldn't have!" he could tell she was grateful, however, when she hugged it to her chest and tears welled up in her eyes.
"This marks the second year it's been since the day we first became friends. I knew you liked that dress, from that one time we went shopping, so that's what I got for you."
"Oh, but Mickey, I didn't get you a thing!" she was starting to feel awful about not getting him something when he hugged her.
"You being my friend is enough for me."
