Nine o'clock am, a somewhat reasonable time to get woken up by a crash in the kitchen. It was loud, and definitely concerning. If it didn't wake up the whole household, it definitely woke up a certain mouse that was sleeping on the couch. Said mouse was obviously Mickey, who had rolled off the couch and landed on the floor. After sitting himself up, and rubbing the pain out of his face, he stood up and went to investigate the kitchen.

Looking inside the kitchen, Mickey quickly found the cause of the crash. About a tenth of the bunny children were in there, and a few of the dishes had fallen onto the floor and broke. The bunny children had noticed their Uncle Mickey had entered the kitchen.

"You guys okay?" Mickey walked over to them. "Nobody hurt?"

"We're fine," One of them replied, a shameful expression on their face, "but we... we..."

"Oh, dear! What happened here?"

Mickey looked back to the kitchen entrance to see two toons standing there. One of them was Oswald, who looked so tired, and the other was a cat toon known as Ortensia, who had a worried look on her face.

"Just a small accident," Mickey assured her, "No one got hurt. Unless some dishes count."

Mickey let out his signature chuckle as Ortensia walked over to the mess. She sighed and looked over at Oswald.

"Do you remember where we put the broom and dust pan?" Ortensia asked, watching her husband rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

"It should be where we last left it." Oswald yawned. "I'll see if I can't find it. Could you make me some coffee in the meantime, please?"

Ortensia giggled. "Of course, Hunny-Bunny."

Oswald smiled, and went to look for the broom and dust-pan. In the meantime, Ortensia went to make her "Hunny-Bunny" some coffee. Mickey, not really having anything to do, sat down in a nearby chair. The calm aura of the household made the recent events seem surreal. The only chaotic thing around were the bunny children, and even they were calm.

"Hey, Uncle Mickey?" One of the kiddos tapped on Mickey's knee. "Daddy said you and him found something."

"Oh, that's right, you did." Ortensia looked over at Mickey. "What did you find?"

Mickey glanced away. "Well, it's difficult to explain, but it's a lead on finding Prescott. It's kinda sad, though."

"Oh, dear..."

A sudden yelp was heard. It was followed by the sound of things falling. Mickey and Ortensia looked out the entrance of the kitchen to see Oswald getting ambushed by the supplies from a closet. After everything fell on the poor rabbit, he chuckled.

"I'm okay!" Oswald struggled out from under the pile. "I found the things."

"You need help over there?"
