A/N: Last time, all of the presents for the big House of Mouse Gift Giveaway/Exchange were stolen and all signs seem to point to a Scrinchy Bloo as the thief. What will come of this? Find out in Part 2, right now!
ToonSchool Christmas: Mickey's House of Cheer: Part 2
"I want a lawyer!," Bloo shouted as the HOM staff tied him up. "I'm innocent! I've been framed!"
"Come on, guys!," Mac said. "I know Bloo can be a real pain in the butt at times, but even he wouldn't do this."
"I'm with Mac on this," Tony said. "I don't see Bloo stealing everyone's gifts."
"Same here," Lilo added.
"Yeah, but he's been acting Grinchy and Scroogy all day," Daisy said.
"He probably did it to have presents all to himself," Jumba added.
"Or he figured that if he couldn't have Christmas, then neither could anyone else," Squidward said.
"Well, I wouldn't put it past him, but I don't think he did it," Daryl said.
"Well maybe we should hold him somewhere, in case anything else happens," Max suggested.
"Yeah, but there has to be another way legally to keep him grounded…besides tying him up," June said.
"Then in that case," Goofy said as he untied Bloo. "No hard feelings?"
"GRRRRRRRR! PLENTY OF HARD FEELINGS!," Bloo, very angry, shouted as Goofy ran, with Bloo chasing after him. "GET BACK HERE!"
"So now what?," Danny asked.
"Well, I did some looking around and it turns out, the thief dropped some of the gifts as he ran off with them," Janitor said as he held up a small pile of presents
"Then the best thing to do is get proactive and protect them at all costs from the mystery thief," Mickey said, before he noticed that the cartoon had ended. "Whoa, and I better get back out there!"
Mickey dashed back on stage as the others watched. Just then, Mortimer Mouse came backstage with mistletoe in hand, strolled up to Minnie and held it over their heads.
"Hey, Minnie," he said slyly. "I got mistletoe, and you know the rules."
"Ah-ah-ah, I don't think so, Mortimer," Minnie replied.
"Hey, that's the rules of the holiday, so neither of us is going anywhere until I get a kiss. Now pucker up."
Mortimer started puckered his lips and leaned in to kiss Minnie, but the clever mouse quickly pushed Sandy in front of her, causing Mortimer to kiss her instead.
"BLECCH!," Sandy said in disgust as she pushed Mortimer away and tried to wipe the kiss off her mouth. "What in tarnation?! Who the heck do you think you are mister?!"
"Oh, sorry, I was trying to–wait, wait! AHHHHHH! HA-CHA-CHOUCH!," Mortimer said as Sandy advanced on him angrily before brutally attacking and beating him up, much to Minnie's delight and everyone else's amusement.
"Anyhow what do we do with these last few presents?," Sunny asked.
"Leave that to me," Daryl said.
"You?," everyone asked.
"Yeah. You see, the thief only strikes when it's dark, right? Well, with my dark abilities, I can see right through the dark, so if the thief causes another outage, I can spot him and take him down!"
"Well, I guess that does make sense," Tony said with everyone else agreeing.
"Then it's settled."
"Good," Minnie said as she looked at her PDA. "Oh my! The Toonsters are up next and you guys are on in sixty seconds!"
"Oh my gosh, I totally forgot we were performing tonight!," Bubbles said.
"Me too!," Timmy added.
"Me three!," Jimmy agreed.
"Well, we better get our instruments and get out there now!," June said. The other Toonsters members quickly agreed and rushed to get ready.
"And now, in the spirit of the season, here's a special holiday musical perfromance from ToonSchool's very own amatuer band, the Toonsters!," Mickey announced, as the spotlight then shined on the seven band members, who then started to play.
Bubbles: Whoo
House of Mouse
Lets have a rocking Christmas
C'mon
Bubbles stepped up and took the first verse:
Rockin around the Christmas Tree
At the Christmas Party Hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Tony stepped up and took verse two:
Tony: Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling
Oh ya
Jimmy, Danny, and June, on the guitars, took the bridge:
Jimmy: You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Danny: Voices singing, Let's be jolly,
June: Deck the halls with boughs of holly
The band then played a musical interlude, as Tony and Bubbles addressed the audience:
Tony: Whoo
Ya c'mon everybody
Bubbles: Make sure you sing along
Here we go
Jake and Timmy, on the keyboard and drums, respectively then took the next part, with Tony and Bubbles echoing:
Jake: Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday (Bubbles: Holiday)
Everyone dancin' merrily
In the new old-fashioned way (Bubbles: Old fashioned way)
Timmy: Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring (Tony: Let it ring)
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling
Everyone then sang the bridge and the rest of the chorus:
Bubbles: You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Tony: Voices singing, Let's be jolly,
All: Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin' merrily
In the new old-fashioned way
As the song closed out, Tony and Bubbles addressed the crowd again:
Tony: Thank you House of Mouse
Have a rockin Christmas
Bubbles: Whoo
Happy Holidays
Ya Ya Ya
Whoo
The performance ended and the audience applauded, as the Toonsters all took a bow.
Back in the foyer, Daryl was still guarding the small pile of remaining gifts, and had been listening to the performance, when suddenly the lights went out again, and the young EnSoul quickly went on guard. He scans the area waiting for the thief until out of the corner of his eye…
"There you are!"
The thief, still shadowed from full, realized he'd been seen and dashed into the still darkened club, with Daryl tailing right behind him in the dark.
First, the thief tried to hide in Buford von Stomm's shirt, but Daryl quickly found him, causing him to run for it again.
Next, Daryl chased the thief to where Aladdin and his friends were sitting and seemingly lost him. Daryl, however, sensed him in Genie's lamp and rubbed it flushing him out and sending him running again.
Then, Daryl passed Winnie the Pooh and his friends at a table, when suddenly he sensed the thief in Kanga's pouch and once again flushed him out, sending him on the run again.
Then, Daryl came to where the Queen of Hearts was sitting. Sensing the thief, he lifted up her dress, flushing out and sending the culprit running again. He then got a very angry glare from the Queen, causing him to smile sheepishly as he put her dress back down and ran after the thief.
Soon, the young EnSoul found himself just about the catch the culprit.
"Almost got–," Daryl started to say. But then, he suddenly slipped in a small puddle of oil on the floor and fell, allowing the culprit to escape into the dark. Moments later, the lights returned on.
"Darn it," Daryl said. Just then, he noticed what seemed to be a card on the ground near him. He picked it up and looked to see that it was…
"A baseball card with Bloo on it," Daryl said as he showed, his friends, the teachers, and the HOM staff the card.
"I've never known Bloo to be a baseball fan," Mickey said in curiosity.
"Hey, I remember this," Mac said. "This was from back when our friend Coco made a whole bunch of baseball cards based on all of the Foster's imaginary friends. Bloo went nuts trying to collect them all."
"And you found it near where, the thief vanished?," Roxanne asked.
"Yep."
"Well, then Bloo, what do you have to say about this?," Prickley asked.
"I said it before, and I'll say it again: IT WASN'T ME!," Bloo shouted. "Man, this stupid holiday is really getting on my nerves!"
"Which gives you every reason to want to steal everyone's gifts," Squidward said.
"Because you're jealous of getting nothing but coal every year," Donald said. "Or so we've heard!"
"Shows what you know!," Bloo snapped back.
"Well, sorry Bloo, but until further notice, we've have no other choice but to consider you the prime suspect," Tony said regretfully. Everyone gasped at this, especially Bloo.
Meanwhile, Oak was talking with what appeared to be Ash's mother Delia, when who should pop up but Mortimer, mistletoe and all.
"Hey there Ms. Ketchum, why catch'em all, when you can catch just one? With 'one' being me, of course."
At that, "Delia" turned around revealing herself to be Clarabelle Cow, just with Delia's hairstyle, startling Mortimer.
"Like my new hair, Morty?," she asked.
"What the–you're not that Pokemon boy's mother?!," Mortimer said before Clarabelle grabbed and kissed him, much to his dismay. Oak smirked at this, just as the real Delia returned.
"So why did you want me to wait the foyer for five minutes anyway?," Delia said.
"Just a very good reason," Oak said as he then whispered under his breath. "Thank you, Minnie."
Backstage, everyone heard the audience getting antsy and panicky again.
"Uh-oh, the audience is losing control again," Minnie said.
"And I better get out there and calm those toons down," Mickey said as he rushed out on stage. "Relax folks, we are doing our best to locate your presents as fast as we can. In the meantime, check out this next cartoon where me and Mortimer get into some real holiday hijinks!"
As the next cartoon started, Mickey returned backstage and told everyone, "Okay, they're losing patience out there. We need to solve this case and fast, before the show is over!"
"Well, there's something about these's clues: they all seem to have a connection to Bloo or to Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends," Tony said, getting a possible idea as he pulled out his cell phone and dialed the number to Foster's. After a few minutes, someone picked up the line.
"Hello," a girl's voice said.
"Hey, Frankie," Tony greeted.
"Oh, hi Tony, what's up?"
"Frankie, listen. We've just had a major robbery here at the House of Mouse. Some kook stole nearly every single Christmas present here."
"Well, shouldn't that be something you call the police for?"
"That's the thing: the thief left some clues that seem to lead back to Foster's. Have you had any robberies or burglaries over there lately, like yesterday or today?"
"No, nothing."
"Really? Hmm, this is just getting stranger and stranger."
"Don't worry, Yo-Yo Boy, I'm sure you'll figure it out. You always do. Happy Holidays."
"Thanks Frankie. Happy Holidays," Tony said as he hung up the phone. "Well that was a dead end."
"So now what do we do?," Daisy asked.
"Well, where did you lose the thief, Dar?," Tony asked.
"Near the prop room," Daryl said.
"Then that's where you kids should start searching, and take Pluto with you," Mickey said. "You teachers should go back in the theater and help keep the audience under control, and everyone else get back to work."
"Right-o, let's go" Daryl said. Everyone except Tony and Mickey dispersed to do as they were told.
Down in the prop room, the gang (minus Bloo) and Pluto searched around for any clues that might lead to the thief.
"Anything?," Mac asked, rummaging through the props.
"Nope," Ash said as he did the same. "Pikachu, Stitch what about you guys?"
"Pika-Pi," Pikachu said as he shook his head no.
"Peesha," Stitch said as he did the same.
"Well, keep looking guys," Blossom said. "There's gotta be some clues in here somewhere."
Just then, Pluto began barking loudly, so that the gang could hear.
"Hey, look. Pluto's got something," Bart said. Sure enough, Pluto walking up with several file folders in hand.
"Good boy," Mac said as he looked at the front of them and noticed, "Hey, these files have the Foster's logo!"
The gang became shocked and clamoured around as Mac opened the folders. What was inside shocked them all.
"These are files…that are all on Bloo! Personal file, health file, offense files, like and dislike files, pro and con files, every single personal detail on Bloo, even stuff I don't know!"
"Well, whoever left these here must have really done their homework on Bloo," Daryl said.
"You think Bloo would carry this kind of stuff around?," Timmy asked.
"Doubt it, Mr. Herriman keeps these kinds of files under lock and key in his office."
"Then how'd Bloo's files get down here?," Bubbles asked.
"The thief probably left them down here," Jake said.
"But why would he have them? And how did he get them?," Tommy asked.
"That's what we need to find out," Daryl said.
Back in the foyer, Tony and Mickey were discussing them case together.
"So you really think someone might be trying to frame Bloo?," Mickey asked.
"I have a good feeling. We just need to figure out who and why, and th–," Tony said before he was cut off by some sudden rumbling and shaking. Both of them turned to see a large stampede of the wildebeests from The Lion King, running straight at them.
"Run for our lives?," Tony asked calmly.
"Yep," Mickey said, calm as well. The two then panicked and ran screaming with the stampede thundering after them.
A/N: Reminds me of the Lion King. Anyhow, what is with the wildebeest stampede? And what's the deal with the files in the prop room? Find out next time on Part 3 of the ToonSchool holiday special! Read, review, follow, and fave, everyone!
