The TOON House Cartoon Stories: "Meeska Mooska Memories"

CHAPTER 2: A Mouseka-PLAN!

But while the two BFFs were still hard at work with checking everyone and welcoming the new residents into the house, Toodles was still thinking about those precious memories that he had at the Clubhouse, remembering all the fun he had being their guide to assistance before becoming a TOON.

"Oh, Mickey..." Toodles sighed to himself. "Sometimes, I wish you and your friends were here to see how far I have come since I left the Clubhouse. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here now at my new home with a talking drawer and a group of incredible Gems. I... sometimes really miss you, Mickey."

"Hey, Drawer." Steven added. "Have you seen Toodles today?"

"Now that you think of it, I haven't." Drawer replied while scratching his head. "This is weird. He's usually out here in a joyful mood!"

"He usually is!" Steven agreed. "I looked over at the Mousekadoer, but he's not there."

But soon, Toodles finally flew by the both of them. But... he wasn't feeling as happy as he normally would. He just sadly sighed to himself with a frown on his face, indicating that he was very sad.

"Oh! Hey, Toodles!" Steven smiled. "There you are!"

"Hey..." Toodles sighed.

"Whoa." Drawer gasped. "Are you feeling okay, little mouseka-buddy?"

"Well... I just... miss Mickey." Toodles sadly explained.

Drawer and Steven immediately understood what he was going through, especially since they've been through it many times before.

"Like how I miss Connie when she's doing her studying at school?" Steven asked.

"And I deeply miss my mom and dad?" Drawer added.

"Yeah." Toodles sadly replied. "Now, don't get me wrong. I'm glad to have you guys, but... I just can't stop remembering the fun times I had before I came here. Sometimes, I wish I could be like that again."

"Oh, I see." Drawer understood. "Is this Clubhouse still where it was?"

"I don't know." Toodles replied. "It's been a long time since I've seen it."

Drawer and Steven felt terrible that Toodles was going through a difficult time without the place he once was in. They needed to think of something they can try and do to help their mechanical buddy hopefully feel better.

"Well... I've never really seen the Clubhouse before." Drawer added. "Maybe Steven and I can go with you to check it out?"

"Well, that IS if it's still there." Toodles replied, feeling unsure if the Clubhouse was still standing.

"It's worth a try." Steven approved. "Besides! Maybe some fresh air will help you feel a little better."

"Yeah... maybe that would be great." Toodles approved as he started to smile a little. "And Steven, I think you would LOVE to see the Clubhouse if it's still up."

"Maybe!" Drawer agreed.

"I've been curious about that for a while actually." Steven admitted. "Maybe we should go and see if it's still there."

"Great!" Drawer approved. "I'll go get myself ready before we go."

"Thanks, you guys." Toodles smiled.
