House of Mouse, Mickey and the others by Disney

Eli's POV

"Well, Mr. Mouse. Looks like we meet again."

It was unsurprising to see Mickey again. After all, I am in front of his precious night club, the House of Mouse.

"I didn't expect you to be back here, Eli. After so many years..." he said with a warm smile on his face.

"Believe me, I didn't intend to be here." I retorted.

"But why? What made you hate this place? You just left Toon World without any reason. What happened to all the good times that we had?"

"Those times are all just in the past. I'm a new man now, Mickey. I've got to go to what I believe is right." I sighed a bit and continued, "Now if you excuse me, I have to go."

I tried not to shed a tear as I turned around. I knew that I had to leave. It was for the best. I don't want to repeat what I did on that day. Sigh. That day that I knew that I-

"Mickey, there is trouble in The Little Mermaid World!"

What?! No. Not now!

I turned around and saw Minnie dashing on Mickey. I knew from her face that there is serious trouble brewing.

"What is it, Minnie?" asked Mickey, wearing the same expression as Minnie's.

"All the mermen lose their tails and became humans!" Minnie replied.

"That's a big trouble alright. Minnie, tell Goofy to prepare my car. We need to get there fast."

"I'll help. I think I can manage some time." Riley said.

"That's great! You, Eli?"

"I can't. Like I said, I have to go." I said.

I did say I have to leave, right? Why does he need me to help them?

"Oh. Of course. I forgot that you are going to. I apologize."

"No need.I must take my leave."

I left as I soon as I finished said that. I don't care of forcing Riley to resign anymore. She will know the reason herself. As long I stay away from this place, the better. Away from anything Disney. Away from the House of Mouse. And away from her.

It forgot that it was dark on this time on the Main Street. As I passed the street itself, I felt a sudden drop in temperature.

Must be nearing winter in this place. I thought.

I took a look back to where I came from. How can Mickey be so stupid? He knew the reason why I left. He should yet he asked me to lend a helping hand? That's crazy!

[In tune of Belle (Reprise)]

Help them? No way!

Ain't gonna happen!

I am big now

And it is true!

There's no way I'll turn around and

Tell them I will help them out of blue!

I sighed a bit before I continue.

I always wanted myself to move forward

To the path I always wanted to go

But just when I'm on the track

I always take a look back

To the kid that is someone that I used to know

I tried to hide my tears. For that moment, I felt a bit of regret to myself.

But...

"Oh come on! Did I just sing again?!" I shouted out loud. "Disney's getting on me again."

Shaking it out, I continued my walk, cuddling myself for warmth.

D-dang. Why it must be so cold at this time?

"Ummm... Excuse me?"

That voice attracted my attention and made a stop on my path.

...

...

I know that voice.

When the person who said that came into full view, my eyes widened.

"Do you know where Mickey is? I need to speak to him immediately."

No. It's her.

"Excuse me. Sir?"

It's Melody.

TO BE CONTINUED...

And that was another chapter published after a long hiatus. My laptop was reformatted and I lost my touch on writing for a while. But here it is, a new chapter. And I admit, I am not a good songwriter and even used the tune of a Disney song. Yeah... It's a short chapter alright.

Happy New Year to all! See ya!
