That night, Melody came home, and snuck Ortensia into the guest room, since Oswald just slept on the couch, and told her to stay. Mason had come with to her house, with his guitar. Minnie walked in at that time when Mason walked in and asked:

"Who are you?"

Mason looked at Minnie and smiled.

"Hi, Mrs. Mouse…I'm Mason Rat…Melody's boyfriend."

Minnie smiled and looked for Melody.

"Well, where's Melody?"

"Oh, she's hiding her present for Mr. Rabbit, who is passed out on the couch." Mason replied, chuckling at the sleeping black rabbit on the couch. Minnie giggled and covered Oswald up with a blue blanket that Melody knitted herself.

"Well, I look forward to seeing her gift for him tonight."

"It's not being given tonight, mom." Melody said when she came back into the living room. Minnie looked at Melody and looked confused.

"What do you mean, Mel, dear?"

"Auntie Ortensia came back just now, and Uncle Oswald doesn't know that she's here. So, we have to keep it a secret and wait until the parade tomorrow." Melody whispered quietly to Minnie and Mason.

"Oh, you plan on announcing her on the float?" Minnie asked. "No mom. I plan on having her…" Melody began to explain when Oswald began to stir and woke up. "What's going on?" He asked, as he rubbed his eyes and sounding groggy. "Nothing Uncle Oswald…" Melody said, smiling. Oswald smiled at Melody and then saw Mason and sighed. "Who's the boy?" He asked. Melody giggled as Mason chuckled like Mickey, just as Mickey himself walked through the door. "Hello Mason! By golly, what are you doing?!" He asked, excited. "I'm here for Christmas Mr. Mouse. Melody invited me." Mason replied. "I take it he's your boyfriend, huh, Mel." Oswald said, sitting up. Melody giggled as Mason put an arm around her. "Yeah, Uncle Oswald…he is." She replied.

"When did that happen?" Mickey asked. "Tonight actually…Rachel and Ebony held a stick with mistletoe over our heads at the park. We kissed and…I felt something I didn't know was really there." Melody explained. Mason just chuckled and Mickey chuckled too, and it felt like there were two Mickey Mouses in the room, making Melody, Minnie, and Oswald laugh.

"Oh, boy…Mickey Jr. is in the house right now!" Oswald laughed, feeling a little better about the situation with Ortensia. Melody laughed as well and put her head on Mason's shoulder.

Ortensia was up in the guest room, with the knowledge of that Oswald didn't know she was there. She sighed as she sat on the bed, thinking of just leaving the guest room just to show Oswald she was alive and well. But, she didn't want to ruin Melody's gift for him. So, she stayed.

Ortensia took out a picture of Oswald from her purse and looked at her handsome rabbit husband on shinny paper. She sighed and really wanted to see him, but knew it had to be a surprise because of Melody.

(SONG: "My Song for you"—Bridgit Mendler ft. Shane Harper)

Just then, Ortensia heard music coming from down the hall. So, she peeked out the door and saw Melody with her boyfriend Mason, playing their instruments and getting ready to sing a song they both thought fit Oswald and her. [Mason has certain songs he can sing.]

MELODY: "didn't know what to get you, ordinary just wouldn't do, but I just found the perfect gift, for you. Now I got it already, but it's not wrapped in red or green, come and sit down beside me here, underneath the Christmas tree! We've got…"

BOTH: "…mistletoe, and firelight, on this cold December night, the snow outside, will set the mood, as I sing my song for you."

MELODY: "I hear church bells are ringing…"

BOTH: "Carolers are singing, harmony with me now…"

MASON: "You are looking so lovely…yeah…"

BOTH: "Even if the lights go out! We've got mistletoe, and firelight, on this cold December night, the snow outside, will set the mood…"

MELODY: "…as I sing my song for you."

MASON: "You're so beautiful; I only hope you see what I see…"

MELODY: "Yeah…"

BOTH: "every word; is meant to show you how much you mean to me…"

MELODY: "We've got mistletoe, and firelight, on this cold December night…"

BOTH: "…the snow outside, will set the mood, as I sing my song…We've got mistletoe, and firelight, on this cold December night, the snow outside, will set the mood…"

MELODY: "…as I sing my song…."

MASON: "Sing my song…"

BOTH: "Sing, my song…for you…"

(End of song)

As the song ended, Ortensia couldn't help smile and shed a tear. She saw Oswald looking proud of their little niece and her boyfriend.

"That was beautiful, Melody!" Minnie said.

"Thanks. I dedicated it to Uncle Oswald. You'll get your present tomorrow." Melody said, looking at Oswald.

Oswald smiled a little as a tear ran down his cheek. He was proud of Melody and couldn't wait for his present.
