Chapter 4

Saturday Night

"Minnie, please, what's going on?" Daisy asked as she caught up to the mouse.

"Oh Daisy!" Minnie cried, turning around to throw her arms around her friend's neck to hug her as she cried. "He cheated on me."

"I have to admit, that's kinda hard to believe." Daisy said, patting her on her back. "He thinks the world of you."

"Then why did she send him her under garments?" Minnie asked, looking her in the eyes. "The cheese yesterday and Friday I could deal with, but her underwear too?"

"I can't say anything." Daisy admitted with a sly smile as she tried to make her friend smile.

"Huh? What did you do, Daisy Duck?" Minnie asked, playfully cross.

"When I first started to work at Disney, I sent a crush of mine my underwear." Daisy admitted.

"You never told me about that." Minnie said, smiling.

"You would've talked me out of it." Daisy said, glad to see the girl smiling. "Anyway, I never heard back from him after that. I think I scarred him away."

"You made that up, didn't you?" Minnie asked, smiling at her friend.

"Ya, but you're smiling." Daisy admitted, smiling back. "Anyway, there could be a million reasons why Mickey kept getting stuff from her. Was it ever addressed straight to him personally?"

"They all said, "To: the Mouse of the House." and that always means Mickey." Minnie thought. "Why?"

"I'm wondering if someone's behind this, cause I know for a fact that Mickey wasn't with some girl going by PR." Daisy admitted.

"How do you know?" Minnie asked.

"Because he was with me." Daisy said, smiling. "We were working on a surprise for you that you're still not going to find out about."

"It that's true, then why didn't he tell me?" Minnie asked, believing the duck.

"I think I told him I'd kill him if he peeped a word about it to you." Daisy admitted.

"Oh Daisy!" Minnie smiled as she hugged her friend. She let go and stated, "Oh no, now I've gotta go fix things with Mickey!"

Daisy watched her friend run back towards the back door of the House of Mouse and thought, Mickey, you owe me, big time. And if I find out that you really are cheating on Minnie, I'll kill you myself.

"Mickey!" Minnie called out as she rushed back into the building.

"Minnie! Please, you gotta talk him out of it!" Clarabelle cried out, running over to the girl.

"Talk him out of what?" Minnie asked, not sure what was going on.

"Mickey! He's going to jump off the cat walk!" Clarabelle said, worry in her face as she grabbed Minnie's hand and leading the girl into the theater where Max, Goofy, Donald, and Horace looked up at the cat walk from their place on the stage.

"Mickey! Don't jump!" Minnie cried out. "Daisy told me the whole story and I'm looking forwards to that surprise, but I want you to give it to me."

"Minnie? But you said-"

"I don't care what I said, I'm saying now I love you and I was stupid to say all that about you." Minnie said as tears began to fall down her cheeks. "75 years and I'm the stupid one. I should know you better. Please, don't do this! Let me come up there."

Minnie ran backstage and hurried up the ladder, praying she could change his mind. She rushed down the cat walk and straight to Mickey, wrapping her arms around him. "Mickey, I'm so so sorry. I just don't want to lose you."

"I'm sorry too, Minnie." Mickey said, seeing her fearful for his life as he hugged her back.

Minnie looked up at her mouse and saw tears coming down his face. "I love you Mickey." Minnie said, keeping her cheek pressed against his.

"I love you too." Mickey said, his voice choked up.

"Now, come on. Let's get down from here." Minnie said, leading her mouse away from the edge.

The two got down from the cat walk just in time to miss guests coming in.

"Hey Mick, can I talk to you?" Mortimer asked, walking backstage to find everyone there. He noticed them all staring at him as he started to rub the back of his neck as his cheeks started to go red. "Alone?"

"You'll have to deal with me." Minnie said, clinging to Mickey's arms.

"I've gotta mingle anyway." Clarabelle said, ushering everyone else to their respective spots.

"What is it, Mortimer?" Mickey asked, not sure what to expect from the older mouse.

"You wouldn't've gotten some packages in the past days, would ya?" Mortimer asked, his cheeks going a shade of red no one had ever seen on him before.

"Let me guess, you're the mouse that PR's been talking about?" Minnie asked, smiling.

"Ya." Mortimer said, rubbing the back of his neck. "I ended up saying something about this joint and some reason, she though I owned it. he he..."

"So you want her underwear back?" Mickey asked, a sly smile on his face.

"If you wouldn't mind." Mortimer said, putting his hands in his pockets. "It would mean a lot if this just stayed between the three of us, if you don't mind."

"Oh, it will." Daisy said as she came out of Mickey's dressing room with the two parcels in her hands. "But because I know, I'll tell Clarabelle, which it will end up all over the place. Though I am surprised that you managed to get with Pricilla Rabbit. Who knew she'd be someone for the likes of you, or at least, her underwear."

Mortimer grabbed the parcels from the duck and hi-tailed it out of the building, hoping no one would see what was inside.

"Well, know we know who was sending those." Mickey said, looking at Minnie.

"Who knew Mortimer would get someone as high class as Pricilla Rabbit." Minnie said, surprised.

"I'm glad I don't have anything to do with her." Mickey said. "High class, I've got that right here."

"Awh, Mickey." Minnie said, smiling as she snuggled deeper in his arms.

"I hate to break this up, but it's almost show time." Daisy pointed out.

"Who's checking in the guests?" Mickey asked, looking at the duck.

"Donald, come on, they'll be wondering what's going on with their host." Daisy said, pushing them towards the edge of the stage.

"Quick kiss." Mickey warned, grabbing Minnie and kissing her passionately. The air around them seemed to get lighter as they tasted each other in the embrace. Unknown to the mice, they were close enough to the stage that everyone there for the show saw and were giving them a standing ovation.
