Life as a Proxy

Chapter 4: Suicide Mouse before Suicide Mouse

(Mickey's P.O.V)

I was a happy-go-lucky guy if I say so myself. Nothing was out of place. I had loving friends, a loving girlfriend, you may know her as Minnie Mouse, A nice dog and a well paying job. It seemed like the sky was always blue and the sun was out. But then that fateful day arrived. Minnie asked me to come over, I didn't know what to expect, but I came anyways. I knocked on the door but when Minnie didn't answer. A different mouse answered. He looked as if he was rich, still not expecting the worse I asked "May I see Minnie?" "Darling, a mouse would like to see you." The rich mouse said. Darling? What did that mean? Minnie came out. "Oh, hi Mickey." Minnie said. "If you don't mind my asking, why did he call you 'Darling'?" I asked. "Um...Mickey, I think that you and I are better off apart." Minnie said. Every syllable sliced my heart. "What did I do wrong?" I asked. "You never take anything seriously! You can't stop smiling, it gets annoying!" Minnie shouted. She slammed the door on me and I couldn't help but stare at the door that kept us apart. After what seemed like 500,000 years I heard the rich mouse ask "Do you know that mouse?" to which Minnie replied "Never in my entire life." That was the sentence that truly haunted me. I walked away from the door, gradually losing color. When it was show time, Disney asked "Why aren't you colorful?!" "I just can't smile anymore, boss..." I replied. Minnie was my entire world. I thought Walt would understand, but I was wrong. "If you can't smile anymore, then find a new job!" Walt shouted. He picked me up by the neck and threw me out. No, that's an understatement, he DROP KICKED me out. I waddled out of bars drunk every day in an attempt to erase my memories. But unfortunately, I'm the type of Mouse who knows if he's drunk. Goofy walked up to me while I was drunk. "Gawrsh, Why are you looking down?" Goofy asked. "Because *hic* I lost my job you idiot! I have no money...no job...no love...*hic*...and NOW I have to listen to the voice of the dumbest character of the show!" I slurred. Goofy looked at me confused and angry and walked right past me. it didn't take me long to realize what I just said. "Wait! Goofy!" I called out. But he didn't stop, he just flipped me off. I went home, I was about to O.D. myself with alcohol but then a masked person, by the name if Masky, came through my window. "Don't kill yourself...!" I heard his sheepish voice cry out. I turned around to see him. I didn't react but I did say "Why would you care? No one cares..my boss fired me just because I can't smile." "We could help you. follow me" Masky said.
