I obviously DON'T own the Three Caballeros or anything Disney related. So this is a bit Panchito focused but I'd like you guys (Yes you totally awesome readers) to name one of the Caballeros and give me a prompt (AUs are perfectly acceptable) for Fridays. In other words, Request Friday! If your prompt makes it on the one-shots I will make sure your username (or anon) will be credited at the end. I'll be taking prompts and names starting now (because of time zones). Enjoy the story!
#2- Of Sarapes and Lost Sombreros
"DONALD! JOSÉ!" in ran the red rooster that we all know and love mostly because his name is insanely long. Either that or his latino charms and happy personality. Usually.
Today, his beloved sombrero went missing. How? Well that's why he barged into his friends' rooms shooting his guns at the ceiling to make sure they woke up.
"PANCHITO QUIT SHOOTING MY HOUSE!" The duck demanded, throwing off the bed covers.
"Mi sombrero esta perdido! My hat is lost!" Panchito panicked.
"Estou tentando dormir," the very sleepy looking parrot walked in, a cigar already between his beak in an attempt to snap into wakefulness.
"José amigo! Mi sombrero esta perdido!" the rooster repeated.
All at once, the two other Caballeros understood what was said. In a matter of seconds, and exiting the house in a 'Cool guys don't look at explosions' kind of way, they made their way to where the hat was supposedly seen last.
"Hey guys, what're you doing here? A-hyuck," Goofy asked.
"Panchito's sombrero is missing meu amigo," José explained.
Meanwhile, Donald was left with the difficult task of not only consoling the aforementioned rooster and asking around if anyone had seen it.
"Gawrsh. I'm pretty sure I would'a seen someone runnin' off with it. Maybe Max saw it," the taller character scratched his head in deep thought until he saw his teenage son a little further ahead.
"HEY MAX!" he started running only to slip on a banana peel.
"YA-HOO-HOO-HOI," and landed face first in front of the startled boy.
"Daaaaaaaaaaad. Next time walk," Max helped his dad up with a smile.
"Hi Max, have you seen his hat anywhere?" the duck asked almost immediately.
"Huh? Oh yeah. Someone was wearing it saying something about it being good luck. It might be a different hat though," he answered. At that, the sailor clad bird who was already known for his short temper was positively livid.
"Call in the sarape," he instructed. A sharp whistle later from Panchito, the three were flying over the city without much luck until they found a mariachi band playing close by.
"A-HA-HAI!" not being able to resist themselves, they were dancing along to the music until it was over. "Hey aren't you three in a band?" one of the members asked.
"Si, but I lost mi sombrero somehow," Pistoles spoke almost embarrassed.
Quite a surprise to his friends. "Go down to the Plaza. It's a gut feeling but I'm sure you'll find it," the man assured. "Thank you!" the trio replied in their unique languages.
A small crowd of people gathered around a tree looking up at something. Up close, it turns out there was a balloon stuck inside of what appeared to be a very familiar looking hat.
"PANCHITO ROMERO MIGUEL JUNIPERO FRANCISCO QUINTERO GONZALES!" José and Donald scolded.
"Perdon~" he smiled sheepishly, grabbing his hat back in the process. To apologize for that weird little incident he ended up owing them lunch for the rest of the week.
"You guys are the best even if you make me pay for your lunch," he joked.
"Same to you," the parrot munched on an enchilada.
"Besides, who else knows where to get the best enchiladas in town?" the duck joked back also biting into his food.
"To the Three Caballeros!" they cheered, happily celebrating their long friendship. A sarape was spread out across the table where they sat, its bright colors reflecting that of the trio and all the adventures they shared together once upon a time.
A bit shorter than the last chapter but that's because it had no song like the last one. I hope you enjoyed reading and geez Panchito, how'd a balloon get stuck in your hat and make it float away? Anyway I hope you enjoyed the story. Please review, favorite, leave your prompts for Friday with any review you may have and tell me if anything should be fixed or if I need to improve on something.
Translations: *The Spanish phrase is translated by Panchito because he repeated it in English too
Estou tentando dormir: I'm trying to sleep
