Muptoons Take Manhattan 4

Chapter 4: First Part of the Plan

In a building of a producer, some employees came out of the elevator. As they leave, a familiar mouse peeks out while saying with a nod, "Okay, fellow, it's show time."

"No way! I ain't going out in this!" Donald is heard quacking to Mickey in protest.

"Come on, Donald, we got to at least try to convince whoever the top agent here to give us a chance." Goofy's voice said to Donald in concern.

"No way, nuh huh!"

"Donald, come on, you're holding up the elevator, so let's get going." Mickey snaps to Donald in annoyance. "Other people need to ride too you know."

Donald is heard groaning until he and his pals came out of the elevator in disco clothes while supposed to be dressed like producers. Pluto barks a bit with the duck groaning, "I look ridiculous."

"What do you mean? You look good. Just let me do all the talking, okay?" Mickey insists as he put on some cool shades. The group spots a secretary named Marina sitting at her desk nearby. They nod with the mouse clearing his throat as they approach. "Hey, honey, you are one big sweetheart! My pals and I have just come in from the coast! Love your hair, don't touch it next time around!"

"Yeah, hyuk," Goofy laughs stupidly making Donald glares at him. "Oops. Sorry. Not supposed to talk."

"Ahem. Anyway, we got an appointment with, huh...what is his name? Your top agent who works here? Sorry, the name slips our mind."

"You mean Homer Simpson?" Marina asks Mickey puzzled. Weird; Homer didn't tell her to expect four animals in weird costumes today.

"Oh yes, Homer Simpson, Homer Simpson. Yes." Mickey laughs a bit. "Geez, and what office is he again, miss? That slipped my mind too."

"Well, Mr. Simpson is in suite 1024 but I will call and see..."

"Whoa, no, no, no, no, no; that's okay, sweetheart! No need for that! We and Homer go way back, we're talking way back here! But thanks for your offer, honey. You're too much, far out, right on!"

Mickey laughs as he and his pals heads off to Homer's office. Marina looks dumbstruck then pick up the phone to press speed dial. Homer must be alerted to this. Once she reaches her boss, the woman begins, "Uh, Mr. Simpson?"

Homer is in his office speaking to two of his clients when Marina called him. The yellow skinned man spoke up, "What is it, Marina? I'm visit with these two here." Homer listens to what the woman has to say then looks puzzled. "Huh? A mouse, two dogs and a duck posing as producers; in disco clothing; Geez; And I thought casual day at Moe's got weird. What, don't those four know that this isn't the 1970s."

Just then, the door to the office opens as Homer and his clients saw Mickey's group coming in while heading to him. The mouse laughs while saying, "Hey, Homer, sweetheart, babe! We just flew in from the coast! Wow, is this your office? Love it, do not change a thing at all!"

Mickey sat on the desk smiling as Donald hands a script to Homer. The mouse continues, "Listen, Homer, I hate to cut this short but our private plan is double parked right outside. But we got this boffo socko script for Broadway show called 'Manhattan Melodies'."

Homer's clients Lenny and Carl listen and smile at the idea s Mickey calls in, "It's really today, yet very much timeless. I'm giving you the first look here because we're like family. Have I ever lied to you, Homer? Oops! I think I just heard my beeper!" The mouse jumps off the desk quickly. "Listen, we gotta split. You have your people call my people. We will do a meeting, okay? We will also set a conference call and don't forget, Homer. Boffo, Homer, Socko, Homer, okay? Well, I'll call. We'll have lunch. Ciao!"

Mickey's group then leaves the office with Homer, Lenny and Carl watching him leaves. The trio closes the door while panting and sighing in relief. Goofy said, "Well, it was hard but I think we left an expression on Homer. I hope he likes the script."

However back in the office, Homer shrugs a bit and tossed it into the trash can. Anyone who comes into the office acting like that is a weirdo with a confusing script!

---------------------------------------

The group heads to a fountain area as Mickey, Donald and Goofy removes their sunglasses, heading through the area while passing two robots named Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo getting a tan.

"Oh boy, it's about time that we get these dumb disguises off." Donald mumbles in annoyance.

The group spots Violet waiting for them on a stone bench and heads over with Mickey saying, "Violet!"

"Oh, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Pluto," Violet said with a smile. The girl was waiting for her friends to finish up their script pitching to Homer in hopes that they were able to give a chance for 'Manhattan Melodies'.

"Hey Violet," Goofy laughs happily to Violet with a smile.

"Hi again; Come on and have a seat."

"Geez; thanks," Donald quacks as he, Mickey, Goofy and Pluto sat on the bench next to Violet, ignoring the traffic and construction work that is happening behind the five.

"So were you guys a hit; they loved it, right?" Violet asks her friends anxiously. The girl has work so hard on Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Pluto's clothes.

"Well, to be honest..."

"Did the costumes work?"

"Oh, the costumes were great, incredible, though we have trouble seeing how it went." Mickey explains to Violet with a smile. "I betcha Homer is reading that script right now!"

Of course, as the conversion continues, none of them notices the three same disguised figures peeking through the rose bushes near the construction site, one of them frowns before the trio heads over to the site itself.

One of them sighs in concern as she moves her hat up a bit, revealing herself to be Minnie, with the other two being Daisy and Clarabelle. The truth is, the trio didn't want to leave Mickey, Donald and Goofy behind, not even if it's for their own good. So the girls made the train stop a bit out of town and quickly snuck back into Manhattan to spy on the boys.

The girls glances at Mickey's group speaking with Daisy removing her hat slightly. Nearby, a construction worker named Big Time Beagle notices and smirks while calling out, "Hey, baby." The female duck glances at him smirking then looks away, "Hey, sweetheart. Where are you going? Hey, duckie? I said hello, baby."

"Just what I don't need, duck calls," Daisy mumbles to Minnie and Clarabelle who nods as they glance at Big Time who winks seductively at her before the two girls turn away in disgust each, keeping their eyes on the scene.

"So what shall we do next? Hopefully it doesn't involve me in a stupid disguise again." Donald quacks in annoyance. "No offense, Violet."

"None taken; it was Dash who picked your outfit." Violet remarks with a shrug.

"Unfortunately yes, but no worries, you can pick the costumes out yourself." Mickey assures Donald with a smile. "For the next part of my big plan, we got to look bolder. So one of us will have to grow a mustache; I choose Goofy for that one."

"Gawrsh, you think that I need one?" Goofy ask Mickey in concern.

"Wow, to be honest, I think you look cute with a mustache, Goofy." Violet said to Goofy, making the dog smile a bit.

"Gawrsh, thanks. You think so?"

"Yeah, I know so."

"Gee, Clarabelle used to say that to me once before." Goofy said with a sad sigh. He wonders if he himself will ever see his fiancée. Of course, the dog is very much unaware that Clarabelle is nearby with Minnie and Daisy watching the group right now.

Meanwhile, Big Time's other two pals Burger and Bouncer saw the girls, then smile a bit with the former saying to Minnie, "Oh wow; look at that mousie."

"Yeah, she's hot too." Big Time said stupidly and slyly. The girls do their best to pay the Beagle Boys no mind at all.

"Hey, that's one hot stuff and the cow is big and juicy too." Bouncer remarks with a nod.

"Hey there, hello baby," Burger calls out to Minnie who frowns in annoyance. Can't these stupid Beagle Boys take the hint that she and the other girls aren't interested in them?

"Looking good, duckie," Big Time calls out to Daisy, making her a bit more annoyed.

"Growl, meow and stuff," Bouncer calls out to Clarabelle calling her to roll her eyes in annoyance.

"Yeah, black and pretty, pretty and black." Burger said happily to Minnie, giving out kissing noises to the female mouse.

"Right over here, come on." Big Time laughs madly to the girls as he and his brothers hit on them. They of course try to ignore their remarks while keeping their attention on the conversion. So far, nothing big appears to have happened.

"I got to say, that Clarabelle, along with Minnie and Daisy must be talented." Violet said with a nod.

"Well, if it seems fair, I think you're talented too." Donald points out to Violet, much to the girl's surprise. The male duck is saying that just to make her feel good.

"Wow, you mean it?"

"I think we know when Donald means it." Mickey said with a chuckle. "We all know that you're going to be a famous fashion designer someday."

"Yep! We all really meant it." Goofy said with a smile.

"Wow, thanks, guys. Thank you all for saying that. I think I will repay ya by hugging, first Donald." Violet giggles then she hugs Donald first, making him chuckle a bit.

Needless to say, Daisy looks shocked upon seeing what's happening: her man is hugging another woman! Outraged, the duck grabs a bar and bends it with all her might. Minnie, Clarabelle and the Beagle Boys look shocked and surprised as the outraged Daisy pulls the bar right off.

"That stupid dog darn son of a....WAAAAAAKKKKKK," Daisy exclaim furiously as she hit a barrel nearby with the metal bar in fury. The Beagle Boy gulps in worry as they quickly continue their usual work, out of fear of provoking the female duck further.

As Violet nods to her friends, she and the boys heard the noise and turn to see whose making it. However a truck appears, blocking Minnie, Daisy and Clarabelle while making Goofy ask puzzled, "Gosh, what was that?"

Violet glances at the truck then shrugs while saying, "Oh, just New York, nothing new."

"Oh, right..."

Meanwhile, Daisy continues hitting the barrel in anger while screaming furiously. Her friends manage to stop her and try to calm the female duck down with Minnie saying, "Daisy, Daisy; calm down. I know you're upset that Donald hugged that girl, but maybe it's not the way you think."

"Ha! You two were jealous too when you saw that scene, admit it, admit it!" Daisy snaps to Minnie angrily.

"But not enough to act like a mad jealous fool like you are!"

"Uh, Minnie, Daisy, problem," Clarabelle said in concern as she points to a clock hanging on a wall nearby, making the other girls gasp in shock.

"Uh oh; we're going to be late!" Minnie exclaims in alarm. Daisy drops the metal bear as she and the other girls rush off quickly. The girls are on their lunch break and they have to get back to their first day of work!

--------------------------

The girls rush into a Macy's store where they are working at. The pant a bit while Minnie apologizes while saying, "Sorry we're late, Mr. Perkins."

A man named Mr. Perkins glares at the girls arriving, helping out a customer's arrangement before going to Minnie, Daisy and Clarabelle. The man snaps, "Listen, although this is your first say on the job, it is neither approval or wise to be a half hour later while returning from lunch. This is your first offense so I will let it slide once!"

The girls nod as they remove their disguises, revealing that they themselves are wearing Macy's shirts with name tags on them. Clarabelle apologizes, "Yes, Mr. Perkins; Of course."

The girls grunt a bit as they head over to behind the perfume counter where Minnie, Daisy and Clarabelle work at. Minnie herself now said, "Sorry we're late, Courtney."

A girl named Courtney Gripling turns to Minnie, Daisy and Clarabelle, saying, "That's all right. Everyone has been going wrong lately." She now calls out to a customer, "Get your French perfume here. Cal 'de France." Courtney notices Daisy growling as bit. "Daisy, is something wrong? Can we talk?"

"To be honest, I am not sure if there's anything to talk about." Clarabelle said in concern.

"No, no, I will be fine, I will just be fine. Yeah," Daisy said with a grumble.

"Oh, sorry," Courtney said in concern. Something is very much bugging Daisy today, the girl can tell.

"Get your Cal 'de France, its French and feminine! It will also help you grope one of those stupid, rotten, stinking backstabbing men! Cal 'de France!"

"Daisy, please! What's going on? You were fine this morning. What; did something happen at lunch?"

"Well, something did happen at lunch." Minnie said with a sad sigh as Daisy turns away from Courtney in sadness.

"My duck has turned on me." Daisy admits to Courtney in sadness.

"Ugh, tell me about it. I just had bad tuna myself. My stomach still won't let me forget it." Courtney said with a cringe.

"No, no, Daisy meant her boyfriend seems to have turned on her." Clarabelle corrects Courtney with a nod. So that's it. The female duck is under the expression that her love has ditched her.

"I will fight for him though, and I betcha Minnie and Clarabelle will do the same thing." Daisy said with a sigh.

"Uh, Courtney; Do you think we're pretty?" Minnie asks Courtney. The female mouse is hoping that she and her friends are indeed pretty, perhaps enough to win Mickey, Donald and Goofy back.

"Of course you three are." Courtney assures Minnie with a chuckle. "You three...are more than pretty."

"Like gorgeous too?" Clarabelle ask Courtney with an eager smile.

"Try not to push it, okay? You three girls are more gorgeous. You're unique. But you could use a little rouge though."

"Huh, what do you mean?" Daisy asks Courtney in confusion.

"Have a seat, sit, sit." Courtney said with a smile while motioning to some seats nearby, wanting to help her new friends out with their love problem.

"Sure, no problem," Minnie said with a nod as she, Daisy and Clarabelle sat in some chairs while Courtney get some make-up. "What are you going to do?"

"We'll fix you up, making you three like movie stars. How would you like that?"

"Oh, we would like that very much!"

Courtney got the first item out while saying, "Cheek bones, that's what you girls need. Your faces are a bit round, no offense of course. I'm going to give you girls a complete make-up job, how about that?"

"Oh well..." Clarabelle said in concern.

"Why, when I walked in this morning and saw you three girls, I remember saying that they need rouge. Come on. Turn your faces." Courtney insists to the three girls who sigh a bit before turning their faces a bit to allow the Gripling girl to put some cheek make up on them. "Do you ever wear rouge?"

"Sometimes, yes," Daisy said with a nod.

"Well, now you're going to wear rouge right now, my duck friend!"

"Honestly, Donald doesn't care..."

"Oh Donald, Schald, we won't have none of that! You all look great!" Courtney remarks in a Joan Rivers accent. Minnie, Daisy and Clarabelle look into a mirror at their own reflections, making them all giggle a bit. "You girls know what you need?"

"Whatt?" Minnie asks Courtney curiously.

"You need eyebrows; that's what!"

"But mice, ducks and cows don't have eyebrows." Clarabelle points out to Courtney in surprise.

"Well, these three are going to." Courtney giggles as she put some stuff onto Minnie, Daisy and Clarabelle's face, giving them eyebrows. "And so will I!" The girl put the same makeup on her face, causing her friends to laugh and giggle.

"Say what are you doing that for?" Daisy asks Courtney playfully.

"Honestly, I'm giving you all eyebrows but boy, did I overdo it a bit."

"Let us see."

"Let's take a look."

The four girls look at their own reflections before laughing a bit, enjoying themselves. Minnie remarks, "You have it too, Courtney!"

"I have them too, yes." Courtney laughs a bit.

"Oh, that's great, very great." Clarabelle giggles a bit. Looks like Courtney have succeeded in cheering up her friends a bit from the misery at lunch earlier.

"Oh, oh; I will give you three doe eyes. Men love those!"

As Courtney starting putting doe eyes on the girls' heads, Minnie giggles as she ask happily, "Doe eyes?"

"Doe eyes like Bambi eyes." Courtney explains to her friends with a smile while putting doe eyes on her own head.

"Oh, yes, yes, we know Bambi. Let us look." Daisy giggles a bit as she, Courtney, Minnie and Clarabelle look into the mirror. Yep, they all got doe eyes, much to their delight.

"Doe eyes!"

The girls laugh some mad, enjoying themselves. Clarabelle comments, "Just like us."

"Oh, oh, I will add freckles. You need more freckles; that will make you trio the cutsie." Courtney giggles, having an idea to put in more 'freckles' for her three friends.

"Oh, more freckles, yeah!" Minnie giggles as Courtney puts dot on her, Daisy and Clarabelle's faces a bit. The female mouse is having one great time even though she and her friends were supposed to be working.

"Gooch, goochy, goochy, goochy, goochy," Courtney tease the girls who look at their reflections again then laugh some more. "Now I will be cutsie too!"

Courtney quickly did some face, causing the girls to yelp and laugh some more. The girl, done, toss the item away with Daisy exclaiming, "Oh yes! You got them too!"

"Hey, you know what? Let's use lipstick!" Courtney remarks thoughtfully as he took a lipstick out from under the counter. "You got to use lipstick."

"What brand are we looking at here?" Clarabelle ask Courtney with a smile.

"This one! Now puff up, right, puff up." Courtney said as Minnie, Daisy and Clarabelle puffs up their lips to allow the girl to put lipstick on her lips. "Oh yes, that is just...you three look fabulous, look at you. Add a little more to the cheeks." The girl put lipsticks on the trio's fees causing them to laugh like mad. Corutney put lipstick on her own cheeks while adding, "Now a little more on my cheeks!"

The four girls laugh like mad while using the makeup like mad girls, much to the surprise and confusion of the other customers. Courtney got the powder out playfully while exclaiming, "Oh yes, almost forgot about the powder." The four friends laugh some more while they put powder on each other as if at a slumber party. "And now I've got more for me too!"

The girls continue laughing like mad much to Mr. Perkins's notice. He has had enough of this nonsense so the man came over to the four girls who laugh like mad. Courtney notices and said while trying to keep herself under control, "Cal 'de France, buy the newest French perfume..."

"That's it; I don't tolerate my employees acting like fools! You're all fired!" Mr. Perkins snaps to the four girls furiously.

Minnie, Daisy, Clarabelle and Courtney pause to look at each other then laughs like mad. Despite getting fired, the four girls don't care. They have the time of their lives!

Author's note
Wow, that was weird. The girls are fired but at least they have fun in the progress. And how about Mickey and the guys' progress; In the next chapter, while the boys and R.J.'s group work at the restaurant, the main guys get letters from their pals (and a phone call from Peter). What have they been doing since they left? Read, review and suggest.
