Hey peeps… while writing my story Plight of Persephone I got this insane idea to write this tale based on the House of Mouse series… these stories aren't directly linked but those who've read P.o.P will have a better understanding of Persephone and her mannerisms (hint, hint).

Most characters belong to Disney but this Persephone comes from P.o.P… thanks for taking the time to read… lots of love DitzyMinx xXx

A House of Twisted Toons

Chapter One:Speculations and Expectations

The House of Mouse staff were buzzing with speculation as to what Hades' new missus was going to be like. No-one was more excited by the prospect of meeting the flaming god's date more than Daisy who claimed to be the god's biggest fan. Hades had sworn off dating once things had gone sour with Maleficent, it turned out that her fire-breathing dragon trick just didn't do it for him… so it was a surprise for Minnie when she took his booking and Hades informed her jauntily that he was bringing a date…

'Oooh… I bet she's pretty-' Daisy was jabbering to her best friend keenly. '-he always liked Aphrodite-' She gasped deeply. '-you don't think it's her do you?'

'No…' Minnie said shaking her head. '-she hates him, remember?'

'Oh yehhh…' Daisy drawled then suddenly continued. 'Ooh, Ooh… what about Ursula? They always got on didn't they?'

'I don't think so… she lives under the sea and you know what Hades is like with water.' Daisy sat glumly for a moment thinking hard as Minnie continued to check the bookings for that night.

'Look at this…' She finally gasped making the female duck lean forward. 'Jafar, Maleficent, Cruella DeVil, Captain Hook.. Most of these bookings are villains…'

'So?' Daisy asked looking at the book.

'So… we haven't had this many villains in since they tried to take over the club!' Minnie looked worried but Daisy shrugged.

'They probably just want to see who Hades is bringing…' She drawled unconcerned.

'Maybe…' Minnie frowned still wondering about the bookings. '-I better talk to Mickey about this.' She finally decided.

'You do that.' Daisy rolled her eyes watching her friend disappear of with the book and drumming her fingers bored.

Mickey was checking the preparations for tonight's show, the fact that Hades was bringing a date to the club didn't interest him as much as it did the girls.

'Ok Donald,' He called up towards the lighting where the moody duck was checking over the lights above the stage. '-how's it looking?'

'Pretty good Mickey-' Donald squawked back in his usual scratchy voice that most had difficulty translating. '-I just gotta check one, last thing…' the duck trailed off and moved towards the last light- 'Ahh!' He cried out as a small electric shock caught his feathers.

'Why you little-' Donald jerked his head around glaring at the offending equipment that had shocked him, the rest of his words were an in audible jumble of muttering.

'Umm… Donald, you ok?' Mickey's voice sounded from below but the duck wasn't listening.

'Shock me will ya… why I oughta…' The duck trailed off into more grumbling.

'Mickey, Mickey!' A voice made the mouse spin around from the rafters to see Minnie running over to him. 'You gotta take a look at this.' She puffed reaching the stage and passing him the books. Mickey looked surprised by her concerned face.

'What is it Minnie?' He asked her then his eyes ran down the list of bookings. Somewhere above them a loud 'Ahh! Ahh! You stupid- Ahh!'; the two mice took no notice as a few fried feathers floated down behind them.

'Holy Moly!' Mickey gasped running his eyes down the list and seeing the number of villains outweighed the number of heroes. 'Looks like it's gonna be a Villains Night tonight.' He added with a smile and handed the books back. 'Hey Donald! We're gonna have to change the cartoon reel!' He called up to the rafters.

'Son-of-a-' Donald's voice came down from the roof.

'Hey!' Mickey shouted back crossly with his hands on his hips. 'I don't like it either but you don't here me cursing!'

'But Mickey…' Minnie pulled her boyfriend back around and he blinked. '-aren't you concerned that they might… y'know, try and take over again?' She asked him nervously. Mickey blinked again then did his trademark laugh.

'Don't worry about that Minnie…' Behind them Donald Duck fell down in a heap of smoking feathers, again neither mouse took any notice. '-let's just show them a darn good time, whadda you say?'

'Your right Mickey.' She beamed back. 'If they're all having a good time, they won't think twice of planning a takeover… you're the best.' Minnie kissed his cheek clutching the books tightly and disappeared out the side door.

'What are you laying around for Donald?' Mickey asked turning to the smoking duck spread-angled on the ground. 'We got to change the cartoon reel and can you do something about the stage? It's covered in feathers…' The mouse shook his head and left the stage door.

'I'm on it…' Donald sighed vaguely then passed out.

'What?!' Hades practically screamed into the handset. 'Tonight? You know I can't do tonight Jafar!' There was a pause as Hades listened to the former grand sultan's advisor on the other end of the phone.

'Jaffy, Jaffy… Hey!' He bellowed making Pain and Panic jump with fright and swivel around from their card game. Catching sight of their stares Hades waved them off while continuing his conversation. 'Don't get antsy with me pal, I promised the missus I'd take her out!'

'Yeh… so what if I'm takin' her there?' Hades rolled his eyes not liking where this conversation was going. 'Whatta ya mean their all headin' there?!' Again both imps glanced nervously towards their boss… this time Hades gestured them to take their game somewhere else, without another look both imps gathered up the cards and shot off.

'I specifically told them not to show up!! How am I gonna lay on the schmooze with you lot makin' the evil-eyes at her all night??' Hades continued to pace trying to work off some of the irritation he felt.

'Yeh… I bet it was her idea!!' Hades added after a pause. 'Jealous cow…' He muttered to himself privately thinking that Maleficent could go jump in the Vortex of Fire.

'What? Oh hey, not you Jaffy… I was talkin' about… someone else.' No prizes for guessing who, Hades privately thought.

'Heh… yeh, that Aladdin yutz still beatin' the tar outta ya?' He asked and suddenly pulled the phone away from his ear as a loud long rant burst out the other end. The firey blue god caught a few words; 'Miserable street-rat… show him who's boss…'

'Yeh, yeh… good luck with that buddy…' Hades said pulling the phone back to his ear and checking his nails before rolling his eyes again.

'What? Nahhh… nothin' on Jerkules… been busy, what with the missus an' all… heh, naughty li'l minx…' Hades tailed off at a particularly juicy memory.

'Huh…' He was brought back. 'Oh… tell ya 'bout it later-' Gods didn't this guy go on sometimes.

'No I won't see ya tonight!!' Hades roared barely controlling the colour of his skin.

'Well, excuuuuuse me for havin' a love-life!!' Hades slammed the phone down and muttered under his breath as his skin flashed back and forth from blue to orange. The with an irritated sigh Hades vanished in a swirl of smoke and reappeared

'Who was that sweetie?' A sweet girly voice sounded and Hades turned to the bathroom where his beautiful missus had been enjoying a hot bath.

'Ahhh… just one of the villains askin' me to join 'em in a plot.' The god smiled wearily at the dark black door.

'Oohhhh… what kinda plot?' His missus asked from the other side of the door.

'Revenge… same as always.' Hades smirked amused.

'Sounds like fun… you gonna join 'em?' She asked.

'Can't.' Hades answered leaning against the opposite wall.

'Awwww… why not?' Her voice sounded disappointed and Hades smirked amused.

'Cause it's tonight and I'm gonna be with you babe.' For a moment there was silence from the bathroom then his girlfriend's voice sounded again.

'Well… where are they holding the meeting?' Her voice sounded softly and Hades blinked barely believing what he was hearing.

'Same place I'm taking you-' He started.

'So why don't you do both?' His missus asked as if it was the most obvious answer in the world.

'Ya wouldn't mind?' Hades asked with wide eyes of surprise. There was a moments silence from the other side of the door.

'It's only one night isn't it?' Her voice sounded. 'We've got eternity together and besides… I've always got the imps for company.' Hades blinked several times taking in her words.

'I'll make this up to ya.' Hades flashed a sly leer at the door.

'Oh I know you will…' Her voice purred. 'You fancy a peek at what your gonna be missing tonight?' His missus asked in a sultry tone.

'Well if you insist babe…' He growled seductively moving closer to the door. The door opened and Hades' jaw dropped at the sight of his missus… after a few moments of drooling like a sex-starved lunatic he twisted his look of amazement into a suave leer.

'Hubba, hubba… Aphrodite eat your heart out…' He said in a low husky voice running his eyes over the vision of loveliness in front of him.

Jafar put the phone down after Hades hung up on him… the god had become even more insufferable since he'd started dating this girl he'd picked up while lazing around on some island named Sicily. She was the only thing the god ever banged on about these days… and that was when they saw him! Ever since dating this girl Hades preferred to be holed up in the Underworld in the arms of his 'sweet li'l Sephy-kins'… it was sickening. No wonder the other villains thought the god had gone soft. Jafar was one of the few villains who wanted to reserve judgement until meeting this 'Persephone' for themselves… perhaps she wasn't as good as they feared?

Maleficent hadn't taken the news of Hades' new squeeze very well, Jafar suspected that the Mistress of all Evil was feeling threatened by this girl… if she became the Queen of the Underworld then this girl would either make a great asset to the Team of Villains or a formidable foe… Jafar hoped that the latter wouldn't happen… despite Hades' flaws the god was one of the more powerful villains and if his missus was an enemy there was a very good chance the Lord of the Underworld would sever ties with them.

Now Hades didn't want anything to do with their plans? This was going to dent his reputation further with the other villains… Perhaps he wouldn't tell them that, there was still time for the Lord of the Underworld to change his mind about not taking part in a dastardly scheme… what kind of twisted villain could pass up a chance like that, for a woman??
