Mickey Mouse Funhouse: Silly Stories

The Master of Disguise

( Funny wants to hang out with the gang in Hot Dog Hills but he's going to need a disguise to hide from Commander Heist and Lazlo!)

Hot Dog Hills had been experiencing an exceptionally busy week but not for the reason the gang would have hoped for. From keeping the Super Chips out of sight to keeping Mickey's invention blueprints under lock and key, Commander Heist was keeping them on their toes! They didn't know what caused his sudden surge in attempts but they were growing weary at the constant running and hiding and double checking and whatever else was needed to keep their secrets and treasures safe. And speaking of secrets and treasures, there was one that the entire gang unanimously agreed that should be kept: Funny. With a friend who held so much power, they didn't even want to THINK about what would happen if he got taken away by the wrong people (or anyone in general) but hiding an enchanted, talking Funhouse who has the habit of poofing over to you at random times and is an absolute friend magnet is no easy feat.

Goofy bit into his Goofy Dog and leaned on the stoplight sign, pushing the button once or twice as he waited for the icon to change from the red hand to a walking mouse. Minnie and Daisy were out helping Hilda bake sweets for a last-minute bake sale, the pets were having a playdate with Mickey, and Donald was fixing his Roadster in the Garage which was where the tall dog was heading. He needed to work on his Tubster as well to get ready for the race that was taking place in Korea. He grinned at the idea of driving the course and catching a glimpse of a familiar Kitsune hiding in the shadows. The hand soon changed to the walking sign and Goofy was about to cross when an elderly voice caught his attention. " My dear, would you be so kind and help me across the street? " She asked. Goofy looked down to his side and saw an elderly woman dressed in a beautiful orange sundress with a sunhat and prescription glasses. Besides her was her pet tabby cat with a wonderful blue bow on its neck on a leash. " Why of course madam! " He smiled, holding his arm out without hesitation.

The two linked arms and began to cross the street but as Goofy got a second glance at her, he suddenly realized that this was no elderly woman. And her tabby cat's orange stripes were, for some strange reason, smudging and coming off. He let out a quiet huff of annoyance but didn't let " her " notice. " So, " He started, " What's a sweet ol' lady like you have planned today? " She giggled. " Oh, I'm just going to the pet store for some treats for my little Laz...zinie! My Lazzinie just loves her treats, doesn't she? " The woman smiled while gesturing to her cat. " Lazzinie " meowed in irritation and it took everything out of the goof not to laugh. Seconds later, they found themselves on the other side and the woman thanked him for his service. " No problem Miss... " " Miss Ronaldo! And you are? " " Goofy! Pleasure is mine. " Miss Ronaldo suddenly gasped and put a hand to her mouth. " Goofy? As in the Goofy? World famous racer?! Oh, PLEASE, the pleasure is all MINE! I've always wanted to meet one of the Sensational Six Racers! " She cried out. Goofy mentally rolled his eyes but kept his calm demeanor and smile.

" Aw shucks, you'll make me blush! " He chuckled with a flick of his wrist. She asked if he'd be alright with walking her to the pet store and he agreed. Besides, he didn't need her following him to the garage (she probably would want that anyhow). During the walk, she asked all sorts of questions that seemed normal enough about the races and the cool gadgets on the roasters until she started asking things like " Do you always keep the super chips on you or do you hide them? " or " I wonder if that could work on my car! " and at that point, her identity was more solid than a block of ice. Finally, they made it to the store and she thanked him for the lovely chat. " Not a problem, take care now! Keep yourself out of any trouble! " He hinted while tipping his hat. However, before he could walk off, he heard the noise of boiling water come from behind him and looked in that direction to see familiar blue bubbles appearing on a mailbox. Before anything even had the chance of happening, Goofy slammed his body into the mailbox and smiled nervously.

" Is everything alright, my dear? " She asked, raising a curious brow. Goofy nodded, a few drops of sweat rolling down his face. A muffled voice came from behind him and Goofy yawned loudly to try to drown it out. " You know, I'm a bit tired but I'll just rest here for a few minutes before I leave! You go ahead and do your shopping! " He said quickly while pretending to yawn again. Both Lazzinie and Miss Ronaldo gave each other a look before disappearing into the store. Goofy let out a WHOOSH of air from relief before looking behind and down at the culprit. His big green eyes stared into the dog's and while the dog wore worried frown, the Funhouse wore a silly grin.

" Hiya Goofy! "

" *phew* Hey there, Funny. "
