Mickey found himself getting all worn out and tired from walking on the sidewalk.
'You'd think they'd have a map for a place in this land.' Mickey thought. 'But no. Bob Jim's probably laughing at my naughtiness in the list.'
Mickey grumbled, and knocked on somebody's door. He expected a good person, or at least somebody who could help him out. What he didn't notice is that he was on the outside of his girl's house.
The door then opened.
Mickey backed away, not knowing if someone was in there. The one who opened it was a girl mouse.
The girl mouse looked around for Mickey. She wore a pink bow on her ears, a blue dress, bloomers, and pink pumps. She then noticed Mickey, and smiled.
"Yoo-Hoo!" The girl mouse waved at Mickey.
Mickey waved at her nervously.
"My name's Minnie. I was on my way to find Daisy, but Pete took her on the tugboat!" Minnie had a memory of Daisy being stuck on the tugboat.
"Wait, you mean Pete was already there before we came?" Mickey asked.
"Uh-huh." Minnie responded.
'Gosh. He seems a bit familiar though. This was just a lucky factor on Pete's part. When he noticed us arrive, he had the opportunity to carry the boat around and give it a whirl.'
"You alright, mousey guy?" Minnie asked.
Mickey stopped pondering, and looked at Minnie.
"Gee, where are my manners? I'm Mickey Mouse. It's a pleasure to meet you, Minnie."
"So, why are you here, Mickey? Are you one of Pete's spies?" Minnie asked.
"Heck, no." Mickey shook his head. "You see, me, Donald, and Goofy were on a vacation, until Donald realized he left Goofy behind and tried to turn the boat around. But then it got stolen by Pete, along with him kidnapping Daisy."
"You're going to go after him then? Take me with you, Mickey." Minnie replied.
"Yep, that's what I do." Mickey said.
"I'm not just gonna let her be captured by Pete forever. I already know how that feels like." Minnie shivered at the memory of Daisy being trapped by Pete.
"You know your way around this place, Minnie?" Mickey asked.
"I've known this place since I was a little mouse." Minnie giggled.
Mickey smiled. "Welcome aboard, gal."
He held his hand out towards his girl. She stared at it a bit before enveloping him into a hug.
"Thank you!" She squeaked.
Mickey laughed, seeing his gal act so childish. His memory was so funny, and he couldn't remember her exactly, but he could never forget how happy and sweet his gal acted in their days of high school. Oh, so jolly that he walked with a bounce in her step.
Mickey wondered...could Minnie have some relation to his gal?
"Ride on my scooter so we can get to Pete faster!" Minnie shouted excitedly, showing Mickey her scooter.
Mickey then got on her scooter with Minnie.
"By the way, where is this Goofy you were talking about earlier?" Minnie asked, looking at Mickey.
"He's back where we were. Keeping watch to see that no boat hasn't drowned."
"I really do like to meet him. He's just so goofy." Minnie giggled.
"Trust me." Mickey chuckled.
