Mickey Mouse Funhouse: Silly Stories

Don't baby me! pt. 5 (last)

Daisy was just about to set the last of the unsold cupcakes into a sealed container when she happened to turn around and see Funny and Minnie walking towards her. She waved cheerfully and met them halfway with a huge grin. " You found him! Where was he? You two missed all the fun! " She playfully sighed while hugging them. Funny looked at Minnie and she smiled. " She's your friend, " She said warmly, " You can tell her anything. " Daisy looked at Minnie and then to Funny with a concerned look. " Tell me what? What's the matter? " She asked. Though hesitant again, Funny mentally shook the fear away and found his voice. " You've been...treating me differently, today. " Funny started. " What do you mean? " She asked. " All day today, you've been treating me like I'm a little kid that's accident-prone. You wouldn't let me lift anything heavy, I couldn't run to get your apron from the car and when the flour got in the air, you nearly dragged me outside! You didn't even do that for Clarabelle! " He explained while minding his tone and volume. " Well actually, I couldn't even get you to budge to get you out the door b...but that's beside the point. " She said, her voice getting quieter at the last part. " Why are you babying me? " Funny asked, starting to play with his fingers. Daisy found herself struggling to answer but found her way to it. " I'm j-just worried...is all. " " Worried about what, Daisy? " " A-About your asthma. " Funny blinked a few times, surprised at her answer. " My asthma? " He repeated, " What about it? " " It's just..I know a family member of mine who has asthma and I've seen them go to the hospital for a really long time because of an attack and...and I really don't want anything happening to you because you're my friend and it's scary to see a friend hurt like that and-and..." She was looking down and looking left to right, trying not to cry.

" ...oh Daisy.." Mumbled Funny before he kneeled and pulled her into a much-needed hug. She gripped the back of his shirt a bit tightly and that told Funny all he needed to know. " Daisy, " He called softly, " I'm sorry that what happened a few days ago scared you like that. It scared me too but I went to Care-A-Belle right after you guys had left and got checked out. She gave me my inhaler and she showed me what to do so I could keep myself safe. " He patted his right top pants pocket to show her where he had it stashed. " It's on my person at all times so I can use it whenever I need it. " Daisy broke from the hug to look but moved her hands into his. She was shaking and her eyes were a little red from crying a bit. Minnie took a few steps over and kissed her cheek to help her relax while Funny reached behind him and magically produced a box of tissues and held it up for Daisy to take. " I appreciate that you care so much for me that you'd take the time to try to keep me safe but Daisy? You don't need to protect me from everything! ...I'll admit that the things you kept me from doing could be triggers but that's only if I don't take my medicine and pace myself! " He told her while she wiped her eyes. She nodded but seemed ashamed of herself. Funny wouldn't have that. He gently lifted her face. " But at least I know I have someone who won't let me forget to take care of myself, right? " He grinned. Daisy smiled for the first time and nodded. " Y-Yeah! *snif* I'll bug you..w-well, n-not too much but I-I'll bug you so you'll rem-member, mister! " Said Daisy with a playful squint. Funny saluted her and winked. Minnie smirked. " Oh, but that's if we can get him to say if he took it or not. Funny isn't the best at telling others when something is wrong~! " She teased.

" Heyyyy, I am so! " He frowned, looking at Minnie. She raised a brow. " I recall a certain picnic and a day where someone's pipes got clogged..." She teased again. His frown lifted as he thought about what she said and then there was this audible " whomp whomp " that you could hear when the realization hit him. It made both girls snort from laughter. " Oh alriiiight alriiiight, I'll try to do better at telling you guys. " He huffed, crossing his arms. However, he couldn't be mad because he did appreciate the concern of his friends. Soon, the three returned to Clarabelle's station and they all helped out.

THE END!
