Mickey Mouse Funhouse: Silly Stories

Funny's Flu! pt. 2

" By Pete the Mighty's bolts! You don't get sick often but when you do? It's like everything comes at you! " Exclaimed Care-A-Belle while she looked at the digital thermometer that was on Funny's tank. Although he was now growing delirious, he still managed to crack a joke. " What's the saying that the gang told me? Go big or go home? " He laughed which ended in a coughing fit. Almost everyone groaned at the joke but Goofy found himself laughing alongside Funny. He couldn't help it. Funny and himself were suckers for a good bad joke! The Witch rolled her eyes at the two. " Well, it just seems like The Flu to me! Tiredness, sneezing, sore throat, soreness all around...he'll be rid of it in a week! ...maybe less because that immune system of his is a wonder! " She explained, Funny beaming with a bit of pride. The gang all let out a breath of relief and finally found themselves able to sit down on the armchair, the couch, and the floor. He was gonna be okay! Then Donald put a finger to the air and cleared his throat. " Funny did something that he's never done before...and it's worrying us. " He started. Care-A-Belle turned to Donald and gave him her full attention.

" Go on? "

" So, you know how Funny shape shifts whenever he sneezes while he's sick? "

" Yes? Congestion in the form of magic that needs a way out so it makes him shapeshift until he can get rid of it. "

" Alright, well, one thing he's never done until today was sneeze and shift something that he was projected onto. "

Care-A-Belle looked confused... horrified..and intrigued at the same time. She looked up to the tank and noticed that Funny wasn't there. They frantically started looking around but found relief when they heard him in the kitchen. Care-A-Belle and the rest walked over to see him on the fridge. He looked a bit more comfortable. " Doodles! You scared us silly! " Cried out Daisy. Funny's eyes widened and he looked a bit guilty. " Oh, I didn't mean to do that! I was just trying to get cooler because it's soooo hot in here and-...a-and..whuh oh. " His breath hitched again and that same blue-green glow began to outline the fridge and then with a weary " UH CHOO!! " and a flash of light, the refrigerator was now a bookshelf! When everyone unshielded their eyes, they were still impressed but seemed a bit used to it. Care-A-Belle, on the other hand?

" ...we'll that's new.. " She gasped. " That's what I said! " Said Donald. She walked over to the shelf with Funny on it and examined it carefully. It wasn't like she hadn't seen cases like this before but...she had never known Funny to do something like this! " He's sicker than I thought..." She thought with a frown. Funny looked worriedly at her. Was she upset with him? " I'm sorry, I didn't mean to shift these things! Honest! I..I don't know how to stop it! I-I'll fix everything if it means you won't be m-mad at me! " He sniffed, looking like he'd cry. Nearly everyone clamored over each other to tell him that he was fine and that there was no need to apologize! " No no, you're absolutely fine! Don't you worry, I know how to fix this! " Care-A-Belle reassured. " You do? " Everyone asked. She nodded. " Mhm, there's a long way to explain this but I'll do it the short way: Because the Flu is just a little harsher, Funny's magic is working a little harder to help fight those pesky germs so that means that build-up is going to be a bit more ferocious.." She explained which made the gang groan in sympathy for Funny.

" But not to worry! I know of a tea that can help relieve this big symptom for a while. I'd have to find a very special flower that lives on top of The Winter Mountains. I think your Yeti friend might know them. He lives high enough to be where they grow. " She went on. Minnie's ears perked up excitedly. " I can go ask if he can help us find them! What are they called? " She asked. " Winteraniums! They're small, white flowers with a icy blue center, and a green stalk! Very beautiful flowers that you can crush or steep into tea to help with magic flair-ups, sore throats or just to calm yourself. " She answered while rubbing the top of the shelf. Funny smiled sleepily at the feeling. " Ooo naptime! " Went Daisy. Funny nodded with a dopey look on his face. " Perfect! While Funny rests on his tank, we can split off into groups! One for taking care of Funny and the other for finding the Winteraniums! " Chirped Mickey. While everyone nodded and started to discuss who would do what, Care-A-Belle softly tapped the top of the shelf to gain Funny's withering attention. " You know, you have some really good friends over there. " She grinned.

Funny nodded and still had that smile on his on his face. " I knnooowww, " He slurred, " They're theeeee beeeest friiieeeends everr- snrk?! HAH'TCHIEW!! " And with a flash, that shelf suddenly returned to a fridge. " Alright, Funny, off to the tank with you. " She chuckled. Funny nodded dizzily and mustered up all the strength he could to teleport.
