This is a partner story to "100 Goof-Ups and Quirky Quacks" yet, instead of featuring Donald and Goofy as the lead characters. This story will feature Mickey and his faithful dog, Pluto! I thought it was mandatory to do something special for the King, especially since I was devoting something just as big already to his two most loyal workers. It's only common courtesy, you know. As with "100 Goof-Ups", each chapter will be under 200 words.

Prowling

Pluto struggled to keep his eyes open. It was the middle of the night. So why was he awake? His comfortable bed was just begging for the mutt to return to his sleep. But he refused to go back until he was sure he could do so. He silently strolled past his owner, whom was unaware that his pet was awake.

For, the reason he woke up in the first place. Was because of a noise. A loud clang. Pluto, with ears as big as his. Heard it and decided to investigate. After all, he was the King's dog. If anyone crossed him, they'd also be crossing Pluto.

Pluto growled, he was in the room where he swore he heard the offending noise. Yet saw no one familiar or suspicious. Seconds of investigation later deduced that the clang was caused by a metal object that fell from it's perch on a shelf.

He loosened up, and went back to the King's quarters to go back to sleep. Keeping a close ear on his surroundings, he would be awake all night. And if anyone dared to hurt the Kingdom in the morning, he would be there too to protect it.
