Chapter 2
The clock struck 5pm and the doors to the House of Mouse opened. Daisy sat at the reception desk and checked off the names and Donald started greeting all the guests. Goofy peered round the kitchen door and noticed there were more guests than usual. He watched the many couples sit down together, staring lovingly into each other's eyes and ignoring everyone else.
He failed to see someone watch him with a sad smile and an adoring expression on her face.
Goofy quickly retracted his head and took a deep breath. Tonight was going to be harder than he thought.
After all the guests had been seated, Goofy started waiting tabled when he heard Mike the microphone introduce Mickey onto the stage.
"It's Valentines day at the House of Mouse, so grab your sweetie and give them a smooch!" Mickey cried.
Suddenly the room was full of kissing and sweet sentiments. Goofy felt like the walls were closing in around him. He desperately looked around the room, feeling the loneliest he had ever felt.
"Garsh, I don't got nobody." he wailed sadly.
Someone raised their hand and Goofy's heart leapt. He quickly walked over to the table but slowed when he saw Ariel and Eric were merely asking for their menu.
His heart sank to his toes.
Clutching the heart menu like a shield, he started reading off the options.
"Today's special Valentine's day menu features; Ham you feel the love tonight" Goofy choked back a sob "some day my prince will kumquat cobbler, and then" he moaned despairingly, while blinking back tears "a happily ever after dinner mint!"
Goofy, unable to hold back the crippling sadness, started sobbing loudly.
Daisy and Minnie watched the scene from backstage.
"Poor Goofy, he looks so miserable. We should do something." Daisy suggested.
"Now Daisy, we shouldn't be meddling. Goofy will be fine, he'll pull through." Minnie replied sternly.
Daisy looked back at Goofy who was sobbing that he was "allergic to love."It wasn't fair and there had to be something she could do. She got back to her desk and had a brainwave.
