Author's Note: I don't own anything.
It was the day of Mickey's funeral and it was indeed a somber day. The weather was even dark and stormy. It was as if Mickey was the sunshine, and he had been taken away. It was a dark day indeed.
Hundreds of people were coming to the funeral and everyone who was everyone was coming. The royals, the animals, the humans, the gods and goddesses the aliens, the fairies, even the villains! Everyone was coming.
When news hit of Mickey's death the news hit everyone hard. No one had seen it coming. It came as a huge shock and everyone was devastated, even the villains. Although it was difficult for the villains to admit to it, they loved Mickey so much. He did so much for them and believed in them when no one else would. He showed the world that not everyone was completely evil.
Minnie Mouse had arranged for Donald to make a speech at the funeral, reflecting on the life of Mickey, what a great friend he was, and what the future may hold. It wasn't her idea though. It was part of Mickey's dying wish. He wanted Donald to do it.
The time was near for Mickey's funeral and Minnie greeted all of the guests. She smiled weakly and accepted hugs and peoples' condolences. But it wasn't enough to ease the pain of her aching heart.
The funeral was held outside in the pouring rain. Everyone huddled close together as the priest began the ceremony. Goofy began to play "Amazing Grace" on the bagpipe but it became difficult as he began to sob as he played. The thunder rumbled as Donald walked up to the platform to begin his speech. He took a heavy sigh and looked out to the crowd. All eyes were on him and most of them teary. "Friends, family, this is an unfortunate occasion that we had to come together like this," Donald began, "No one ever saw this coming and this was a huge loss to our family. Mickey was our friend, our brother, a mentor, a teacher, and so much more."
"We love you Mickey!" several people called out.
"You the man Mick!"
"Praise Mickey!"
"Mickey! Oh Mickey!" some sobbed.
"Friends," Donald started up again, "Mickey was-"
"STOP!" yelled a voice.
Donald froze as the familiar voice of Oswald the rabbit called out. "Oswald?" everyone gasped.
Oswald approached the funeral and when he saw Mickey laying in the casket he totally lost it. "Oh god! Mickey! WHY?" he sobbed.
"What are you doing here?" asked Daisy.
"Mickey was my brother."
Several people gasped.
"He what?"
"No way!"
"It isn't possible!"
"I'm Mickey's older brother and I have come to take my rightful place as the next in charge."
Minnie stepped forward and said, "You abandoned Mickey for years! You never remained in contact with him! He thought you died, so he chose Donald instead!"
"I didn't abandon him! He abandoned me! He left me in the darkness and I waited years for him. I had to find out the hard way what happened to him. It isn't fair!"
"Well it was Mickey's dying wish that Donald take over for him," Minnie continued.
"That isn't fair! I am next in line!" snapped Oswald.
"Look!" yelled Donald, "This is Mickey's funeral! This isn't the time or place to be arguing about this. We shall discuss this after the funeral and how dare you go against your brother's final wish. DO you have any respect?"
Oswald was silent as he took his seat and the funeral continued and Donald continued with his speech.
