20 (Mickey Steps Out)

[Out and about at the PokeMart, Minnie turns on the video. You may or may not notice her cheek is slightly bruised - because ~~she can't go a month without bodily harm~~ Shadow was a meanie and pushed her hard. But she's bright and cheery!]

Hello everyone! I hope you're all having a pleasant day. My new friend Ahiru reminded me how fast time flies... next month is Christmas!

For those who don't know, Christmas is a wonderful holiday celebrated in many worlds... People come together to cherish their friends and families, exchanging gifts. And for all the little boys and girls, if they've been good, Santa Claus will leave them a present! And we all play in the snow, and sing carols, and kissing under the mistletoe, and it's all so much fun! It takes place on December 25th, so please keep that date in mind.

With that... Is there anything in particular you want for Christmas? There are so many great people here, and I want to try and get a gift to all of my loved ones!

Of course you, Rise.

[squeezing her hand.]

With all that we've been through together, and such a fantastic young lady you are... You're as close to me as any blood.

Minnie...

[ oh god did she just get adopted by Disney ]

... Thanks. It kind of feels like you're more family than my actual one. [ Grandma not included, because her grandma's awesome stuff. But Minnie's supported and shown more affection than her own parents ever did. ]

[yes. yes you did.

And she'll lean over and kiss your cheek]

You're welcome, Rise..

[ UM I DON'T HAVE TO CALL MICKEY MOUSE "DAD" RIGHT BECAUSE THAT WOULD JUST BE AWKWARD-- the kiss makes her smile, but it also calls her attention to something she'd considered being subtle about.

... hahaha yeah, no. ]

So by the way, what happened to your cheek?

[uh-oh. She quickly draws back.]

Oh, that! I, um... I fell on a door!

...

[ you are talking to an actress, Minnie. ]

[i-it's worth a try]

So, how has your day been?

[ ... she asked for it. ]

Pretty good! One of my really good friends just went home, Heather got hurt for trying to stop a crazy clown robber, and you're covering up for something!

...

[s-shrink, wibble.]

I-It was... just a misunderstanding.

... What happened?

...

I just got into a small argument with someone, and he... pushed me. I was just so surprised that I fell.

Wh-- how is pushing someone a misunderstanding?? Who was it?

I didn't get his name. He... I... Maybe I was trying too hard.

That's no excuse. I mean, he could've just walked away!

He did... after.

... [ HNNNNNGH. ] So it was someone in Violet, huh...

It's done with, it's over. I can avoid him. It only happened because I provoked it.

[ YOU ARE TOO NICE TO PROVOKE ANYBODY WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE ]

... Do you want some foundation for it for now?

That would be nice, I don't want to make anyone else worry.

Does... um, Mickey know yet? [ this is a little muffled since she's ducking behind the counter to grab her bag and fish out a little container. ]

No, not yet. I managed to hide it with my hair.

... You're pretty sneaky! [ it's said with a laugh, though, and she'll straighten up and offer her the little jar. ] Here you go. You're not that much lighter than me, so it should blend just fine.

Thank you very much, Rise.

[takes the jar, patpatpat the cheek.]

There we go, much better!
