Flashback to when Care-a-belle checked over Funny after Donald's mystic outburst.
-------------------------------------------------------------

Care-a-belle flew into the funhouse on her broom and looked around. Everything was scattered around, and some things were broken as well. She gasped as she reached the floor.

"Oh my goodness! What happened here?" She asked, setting her broom down.

"Donald had a mystic outburst." Minnie said.

"Donald had a mystic outburst?" She asked.

"It was a power switch spell." A weak voice perked up.

She looked at Funny, who was sitting on a stool holding his arm tenderly. His hair was covering most of his face, and he had a few bruises. She gasped and went over to him.

"I wanted to show Donald that magic wasn't easy. But he had an outburst. I reversed the spell, and we both fell. At least I was able to put a force field around him before he hit the ground." He said.

"Oh dear! Funny! We need to get you checked up." She said.

"Wait! Please check Donald first. Please make sure he's OK." He pleaded.

"OK, I will. But after that, we're focusing on you, OK?" She said.

"OK." Funny agreed.

She went over to Donald and checked him out. She got a thermometer out and felt his body.

"Hmm. His temperature is normal. He has no broken bones. No bruises or cuts. He's completely fine. All he needs to do is rest. Magical outbursts can take a lot of energy out of a non magical being." She said. "But now, we need to start on you, Funny. Let's do it in the kitchen so we can leave him to sleep."

Goofy helped Funny up and brought him to the kitchen as Mickey brought a stool for Funny to sit on. Once they got to the kitchen, Care-a-belle got her doctors kit out.

"Now, Funny. Let's take a look at that arm." She said.

Funny looked at his arm and back at her with unsure eyes.

"I promise I'll be careful." She said.

He took his hand off his arm, and Care-a-belle gently took it into hers. Funny winced from the pain while everyone looked at it with shock.

His arm was very swollen. From above his elbow to his fingers. It was red and bruised with some scratches on it. She looked at him with sympathy.

"Oh my gosh. It's way worse than I expected." Care-a-belle said. "Can you move it?"

Funny tried to wiggle his fingers, but he winced as he glowed, and as things began to shake.

"I'll take that as a no." She said as she pulled out a big tablet.

"What are you going to do with that, Care-a-belle?" Mickey asked.

"This is a small X-ray. I'm going to use this to take a better look at Funny's bones. Just to make sure nothing is broken." She said.

"Is it going to hurt?" Funny asked nervously.

"Not at all. It's kinda like taking a photo of your arm." She said.

"Ohh. OK then." Funny said, relaxing a bit.

Care-a-belle took an X-ray of Funny's arm with the tablet, and she took a closer look.

"I have good news and bad news."

"Tell me the good news first." Funny said.

"The good news is that you have no broken bones."

"Phew. That's a relief." Funny smiled.

"The bad news is that not only did you sprain your arm badly, you also dislocated your elbow." She said as she showed them the X-ray. The gang winced.

"Ohh. That sounds bad. Uuhhhh......what does dislocated mean?" He asked.

"It means your elbows popped out of place."

"How does that happen?" He asked.

Care-a-belle pulled out a bone model of an arm out of her bag. They all looked amazed.

"This is your arm. And this is the joint. That's what makes your arm move up and down. But the joint in your arm has come out of place." She took the joint of the model out of place. "All we need to do is to pop your arm back into place, then we'll deal with that sprain." She explained.

"Will the fix hurt?" Funny asked.

"Wellllll.......It's best if I don't tell you."

Funny had chills down his spine as she said that. He knows that it's going to hurt. The gang went over to him.

"It's going to be OK, Funny." Minnie said.

"But, how is she going to pop it back in?" He said nervously.

Care-a-belle comes back in with gloves on.

"Well, that's easy. I'm going to twist it and push it up." She said, showing the action on her own arm. "Now, are you ready?"

Funny looked at the gang, who gave him encouraging smiles, and nodded. She lightly took his arm and twisted it so his palm was facing up. Funny gritted through his teeth.

"On the count of three, OK?" She said.

Funny nodded as the gang held his good hand.

"One....two....three!" She pushed his arm up, and a pop was heard.

Funny yelped out through his teeth as things began to shake and float. Tears welled in his eyes as his friends comforted him. No sobbes or cries were heard. Just heavy breathing.

"You're doing such a great job, Funny." Daisy said.

"You're being so brave." Minnie added.

"It's all done. You're OK." Mickey said.

"You're being such a good patient." Goofy chirpped up.

After some soothing words and some breathing, things stopped floating, and Funny stopped glowing. He wiped his eyes as Care-a-belle came with her doctors kit.

"How does that feel, Funny?" She asked.

"It feels a little better, but it still really really hurts." He said.

"That's why I'm gonna put this on you." She said, showing him the bandages.

She proceeded to wrap his arm up tightly from above his elbow. They all heard some giggles coming from Funny.

"That tickles." He laughed.

"Almost done." She couldn't help but smile at the situation. She finished wrapping his arm, and then she put it in a sling.

"There all done. You need to keep your arm in a sling for a few weeks until it's strong enough to be put in a brace." She said.

"Thanks, Care-a-belle." He said. He looked down at his sling and frowned.

"What's wrong, Funny?" Mickey asked.

"Something's missing. I know!" He used his powers to grab the arts and crafts kit.

"Let's make this sling colourful." He smiled.

They all set to work on making Funny's sling look as colourful as him. Soon, it was covered with stickers and drawings. Funny giggled as they added the final touches.

"Now that looks like an amazing sling. Thanks, guys." He said.

"Anytime, Funny." Mickey said.

"Well, I better be going. Oh, and remember, Funny. You need to rest that arm. So, no going on big adventures in your human form and try to tone it down with your magic. OK?"

"I will. Thanks, Care-a-belle." He said.

"Anytime. Bye-bye now." She said as she packed up her kit and got her broom. They all said goodbye as she flew back up the stairs to anywhere.
