At 4:05, they arrived at the memorial. It started to rain by the overcast.  Mickey and Ortensia rushed out of the car searching for Oswald. They searched high and low. Until Mickey saw a dark figure kneeling down in front of a grave next to the Freedom Mausoleum. He walked closer to the figure. It was Oswald. Mickey looked . Oswald's ears were back, he was frowning and tears came out of his eyes. Mickey noticed something. The last time Oswald saw Walt was about 80 years ago, but he will never again see him alive. Ortensia walked behind Mickey. " Did you find him?" she asked. Mickey shushed her. He pointed at Oswald bowing his head in despair. Mickey started to walk towards Oswald. Oswald spoke. " You were his favorite you know. Favorite character created." Mickey protested, " That's not true!" "Then how come you're the most popular? " Oswald snapped back. " How is it ' It all started with a mouse.' instead of ' it all started with a rabbit'?" Mickey then said something he would regret. " Because you were never a part of the Disney family when Walt was alive! You were a part of Universal. You didn't become a part of Disney until 2006 once Walt was dead!" Oswald stood there in shock. " I guess we're not brothers then." Oswald said with a sigh. He started to walk away until he saw Mickey's face, which was his frightened face. " What? Move out of my way mouse!". Then Oswald felt something touch his shoulder. He turned around to see none other then Walt himself. Oswald stepped back. Mickey , Oswald, and Ortensia stood there in silence. Walt was the first to speak. " What is going on here?".  " Sorry sir. But I know you remember me." Mickey didn't get to finish saying when Walt interrupted. " Mickey Mouse. My first creation.". Oswald sighed and began to walk away." I was just kidding. You were my second creation Mickey." Walt looked Oswald's way. “ I would never forget you Oswald ". Oswald turned around looking at Walt  with his ears perking up. Oswald hopped towards Walt. Walt bent down and picked Oswald up in one hand. " My first creation.  I haven't seen you in 80 years. I'm so happy you're home ." Oswald hugged Walt with a huge smile. Walt explained how he wanted to say ' it all started with a rabbit', but he didn't own Oswald. He explained how Oswald and Mickey are brothers in some way, they already knew that, but they now knew for sure. Mickey and Oswald hugged, then hugged Walt goodbye. He waved, but then disappeared in thin air. Ortensia was really confused, but was too tired to care. The three went home after a long night. Mickey paid Minnie the money he owed her for baby sitting the children. She kissed him before leaving his house as if saying thank you. They all knew that they were sleeping in that morning. The trio laid back in their beds and fell right to sleep.
