Chapter 1: Close to College

"Okay, everyone, get into place, come on." Mickey is heard whispering to his friends in a familiar place: the toy chest. We must get into position!"

"Hey, quit shoving!" Spike complains as the toys find themselves crammed together with a little bit of light. They are a bit nervous, the toys had been preparing for this moment for 3 and 1/2 years now. This must work.

"Sorry, I get nervous." Fluttershy whispers to her friends quietly.

"Has anyone seen my other eye?" Daisy complains due to the fact that her other eye is missing from her face. "I can't find it!"

"I'm sure it's in the toy chest somewhere." Golden Heart said to Daisy, assuring her that her other eye may be in the toy chest.

"Not according to the script!" Pinkamena exclaims with a smile.

"Hey, whose foot is in my face?" Iago demands in annoyance as he felt someone's foot in his face.

"Hey, it's mine and I want it back now!" Donald quacks angrily to Iago.

"You saved our lives! We are forever grateful!" Donald's nephews exclaims happily to Donald, making him in groan.

"Aww, phooey! You three have been saving that for years since I've saved ya! Give it a rest!"

"Come on, don't be like that." Twilight said to Donald with a sigh. "They are grateful. It isn't every day they are saved from eternal death...or in this case, being thrown out a moving pizza truck."

"Hey, move your big toy butt, Porky!" Daffy snaps to Porky who moves nervously.

"S-s-s-sorry. It h-h-h-has been years since I w-w-w-w-was played with." Porky admitted nervously to his pal.

"Well, move to your own part of the toy chest, laughing boy!"

"Everyone calm down." Minnie said, petting Figaro. "Most of us are nervous. I am too, but we must give it a try."

"Right, this may be our last chance at playtime." Penelope said in agreement, knowing that the big day is coming. The toys got one last shot at this.

As Bugs wait by the rim, Lola climbs up next to him, smiling while asking, "All right if I squeeze in next to you?"

"Yeah...wait, no! Err, what would I mean as in squeezing next to you?" Bugs ask, giving a nervous laugh to Lola. Ever since she helped in getting Mickey back from Cartman years ago...he liked her and is becoming very nervous. Lola gave a smile to Bugs, making him turn away. "Wow, is it getting hot in here, doc?"

"Nah!" Pinkie exclaims, popping up and startling Bugs. "You are in love, admit it!"

"Whoa! And I thought I was looney!"

"Hey, look, here they come!" Willie exclaims with a hopeful smile as he saw something coming.

The toys goes to the toy chest's rim and look out to see Sarge and his men coming in, carrying something in a gym sock. Mickey couldn't help but give out a smile. What's in that sock will work for the plan!

As the military men arrives, Mickey whispers, "did you get it, Sarge?'

"Mission accomplished, sir!" Sarge exclaims, making the toys excited as his men hoist the sock with the item right into the toy chest.

"Careful, be careful."

"Ooooh, I am excited, are you sure excited?" Pinkie ask her ponies frowns who smiles.

"I can only hope that cell phone isn't stinky from being in that sock." Rarity remarks dryly as Bugs turns the sock, once it is inside the toy chest, upside down, causing a cell phone to slide out. "Repulsive!"

"Shoot, no worries. Ah sure our military buddies would make sure it's done clean." Applejack assures Rarity.

"Yeah! They haven't fail us yet, they are professionals!" Spike exclaims, chuckling as he hugs his crush Rarity.

"Okay, everyone, let's not forget, we only get one shot at this so we cannot mess this up." Mickey said seriously to his friends. "Now is everyone ready?"

"Oooh, I'm ready as I ever will be, right?" Minnie ask her friends with a smile.

"Right, we're ready to play!" Lola exclaims with a smile. It will be amazing if Tommy would play with her and the toys again...hopefully.

"Right. One can only hope he wants to play at all." Penelope said in concern, hoping for the best.

"Just get it over with, the kid may be on his way to college by now!" Daffy complains to his pals that they should get this operation moving if they are to play with Tommy at all!

"Bugs, make the call." Mickey said with a determined smile to Bugs.

Bugs didn't waste time as he opens his wrist cover, there is a phone number for Tommy's cell phone that the toys now have. Lola smiles as she takes out a cordless phone and leans close to the space bunny, making him chuckle nervous.

"Awww, you two make a cute couple!" Pinkamena giggles, making Bugs and Lola blush some more.

"Love later, we got a job to do." Minnie reminds the couple, giving out a mischievous smirk.

Lola got to work in dialing the number in the cordless phone while Mickey tosses Tommy's cell phone to Willie who grabs it. Once the female bunny put in the last digit, she hit the "send" button. At first, nothing is happening...until the cell phone rang, causing Willie to yelp in alarm.

"Okay, he oughta hear that." Twilight mumbles as the main group of Bugs, Lola, Mickey and Minnie peeks over the rim.

"B-b-b-b-but can he hear us f-f-f-f-from where he's a-a-a-a-a-at?" Porky ask his friends nervously.

Just then, the gang heard footsteps near the stairs. Bugs spoke, "All right, the target is approaching."

Mickey fixes his eyes on the door, the mouse has waited a long time for this to do what he himself and his pals always love to do with Tommy. The mouse boy whispers, "Now remember. Like we rehearse."

"And try not to be nervous." Minnie said to her friends with a little smile while Figaro meows. "Tommy will play with us again, no matter how old he is."

"Hope you are right." Fluttershy said as the toys nod nervously in agreement.

Just then the door opens as Tommy come into the room, looking for his cellphone. He looks around the room, hearing the ringing sound from his old toy chest, causing him to open the lid. The boy is more older and his hair is short and purple, but he's still the same boy. Tommy is going to college soon.

But right now, Tommy looks through his toy chest, looking puzzled as he checks his toys who lie around lifeless. His chest is also filled with some movie equipment and clothes. Tommy searches the chest, trying to find his ringing cell phone. Where is it?

Mickey the cordless phone. Hope, he hopes that today is the day that Tommy, his owner, will finally play with him and the other toys once more. The teenager eventually found his cell phone and pulls it out...along with Willie who is still holding onto the thing. Tommy sighs as he pulls on his giant toy who kept his phone onto the cellphone until the teenager finally pulls him loose.

Once Willie is back in the toy chest, Tommy answers the cell phone, "Hey, hello? Anyone there?"

Mickey kept his hold on the cordless phone, closing his eyes. The toy mouse is half tempted to talk to his owner, even for the last time...but the rules of the toys state that the humans must not know about the living world of toys.

Mickey annoyed hangs up his cell phone, turning to the door as he yells, "Dil! How many times I told you to stay out of my room?"

"I wasn't in your room!" Dil snaps from his own room. Tommy roll his eyes, glancing at Willie, the toy is smiling in hopes to be played with. However, the teenager just put the toy giant into the box before closing the lid, taking his leave.

"All right, smart guy. If it wasn't you, who was messing with my stuff?"

"It wasn't me!"

Tommy groans as he closes the door on his way. Once he's gone, Mickey and Bugs opens the chest lid and gave a look in sadness. The plan didn't work after all.

"Our friendship will never die, huh?" Daffy ask Mickey sarcastically, recalling the song that the mouse once played.

"Well, that went well!" Donald snaps sarcastically as the other toys got out of the chest.

"Well, at least it was a start, right?" Spike ask his friends with a weak smile. "I'm sure that..."

"Spike, not now. You're in denial." Rarity groans as she shakes her head while the toys spill out onto the floor.

Tommy's room has changed over the years, with rock posters on the wall, a guitar in one part of the room, skateboard in another...a regular teenager room.

"Wow, he held me! Tommy actually held me!" Willie exclaims with a stupid laugh. Okay, so the giant wasn't played with, but at least his owner held him again!

"Honestly? This is sad, so sad." Iago said, groaning a bit in sadness.

"I-I-I guess we may as well c-c-c-c-call it q-q-q-q-quits." Porky said, feeling like giving up now.

"Guys, we can't give up now." Penelope said to his friends in concern. "Maybe Tommy didn't want to play right now."

"Give it up, sister; it’s over." Daffy snaps to Penelope, slapping himself on the forehead.

"Daffy is right. What's the point? Tommy is 17 years old now!" Donald quacks, shaking his head with a sigh. 17 year old boy wouldn't want to play with toys, not a chance.

"Gawrsh, we will never get played with again." Goofy said gloomy, feeling sad that the toys will never be played with again after so long.

"Looks like our friends are depressed to the lowest." Pinkamena said to her big brother, shaking her head in sadness.

"Right, after waiting so long to be played with again? It broke their spirits." Golden Heart said while Gold Wing screeches in agreement.

"Well, come on, at least we tried." Minnie said as Mickey and Bugs are the last to climb out of the chest. Her words didn't assure her friends at all.

Mickey and Bugs look at each other with the rabbit nodding. The mouse calls out, "All right, staff meeting, everyone! Time for e staff meeting so everyone get together!"

"You're kidding, right?" Rainbow ask dryly as most of the toys look at Mickey, giving out a groan.

"Not again!" Iago exclaims in annoyance and disbelief.

"Come on, it isn't that bad. Goofy, better get everyone ready!" Mickey chuckles to Goofy, wanting him to get everyone ready for the staff meeting.

"Gawrsh, Mickey, this is all of us." Goofy spoke off in stating that this was everyone, the toy community that was once large has...gotten smaller.

"Ehhh, say, where's Unknown?" Bugs asked off in noticing that there was one toy short here?

"Right...here." Unknown spoke from appearing behind Mickey & Bugs Bunny with his glowing white eyes.

"Waaaaaaughhh!" Mickey made a yelp cry to turn around, seeing their hooded friend whose face is covered by a black cloth, none can tell what is really there. "Yesh, all this time, and I still can't get over you coming up behind out of nowhere!" The toy mouse complained in still having trouble getting use to such surprises.

"Old habits, I came down from above the desk top when I saw your plan...shame it did not succeed." Unknown replied off to say this while quoting the act of a plan that was pulled.

"Alright mouse boy, now that we're all EARS, me included...care to chat now." Bugs pointed off that now that everyone is here, time to get down to business.

Mickey Mouse did look around to notice how much smaller the toys have gotten recently. Why was that some ask? Because the child that played with them, Tommy, has come across moments where he simply grew out of playing with some. Many have been given away or sold at yard sales over the years. Now only Mickey's group and the soldiers known as Sarge's Men are the only ones left in this whole room.

Things has changed for the gang over the years. Years ago, Bugs, Lola, Pluto, Oswald, the ponies, Spike, Gold Wing, and the Looney Tune Squad weren't around, just Bugs and most of Tommy's toys. But things change when Bugs came into their lives, making him a big time celebrity of sorts and end up stealing Mickey's role as Tommy's favorite toy. His jealousy ended up with both toys in the hands of Melvin Hargraves, the toy destroyer next door. After escaping from him and reuniting with Tommy, Mickey and Bugs became best friends.

Then there was the time Mickey was stolen by Cartman to be put in a museum along with Lola, Pluto, Oswald and Pete. The mouse ended up liking the idea, but then changes his mind and returns to Tommy, taking Lola, Pluto and Oswald with him (Pete tried to stop them but ended up with another girl as her toy instead), and bringing in new toys like the Mane Six, Spike, Golden Heart, Pinkamena, Gold Wing and the Looney Tune Squad.

And now, the big day come when Tommy is now going to college, the toys' future is in the balance.

"Well, Mickey?" Oswald ask his half-brother impatiently.

"Everyone, look. I admit, 'Operation Playtime' was a long short." Mickey said, trying to help his friends cheered up despite the failure.

"More like a misfire!" Donald quacks in annoyance.

"Donald! But let's not forget: the idea isn't about being played with. It's about..."

"Being there for Tommy when he needs us, yeah, I know." Lola said with a bored groan. She has heard it so many times before.

"Right; yew need a new line sugah cube." Applejack remarks dryly.

"Well, we can try again, right?" Willie ask his friends hopefully.

"Not sure, I think Tommy will make sure to put his cell phone in a better place the next time." Minnie said with a sad sigh, even Figaro feels doubtful that the next time won't work. "Mickey?"

Mickey saw the other toys looking at him, wanting a response. The mouse sighs while shaking his head, "To tell you the truth, folks...let's call it quits. We're closing up shop!"

"Right, I'm glad we agree on something!" Oswald remarks, making most of the other toys gasps, feeling crushed by the news. Mickey and Oswald are giving up just like that? "Yeah, we know Mickey is going to college any day now."

"Right, Oswald. What happened was our last shot."

"Correctly stating, it was the 4057 plan to try to get some playtime." Nicole issued off the number of times they have tried to get the boy to play with them, some had little success while others were...dead ends.

"Then we'll need to make a change, and that may mean...changing our location." Unknown stated to seriously say this in what they need to do now.

"You got it Unknown. Alright folks, we're going into Attic Mode." Bugs replied off in making the official announcement of what they are gonna do. "Now make sure you keep your accessories on you at all times, which includes spare parts and batteries. Anything you need to make this orderly transition a good one." The rabbit was pointing out the stuff that one needs to make their move to the attic as comfy as possible.

"WHACK! Orderly'? 'Ready'?" Donald exclaim in shock and disbelief in having heard the stuff. "Aren't you all going to realize the facts here? We're done, finished with, over the hill, ka-put!" The paranoid duck was going a little overboard here.

"Donald, stop that!" Penelope exclaims to Donald in concern. "We don't even know that."

"But we do know that!" Daffy snaps to Penelope in frustration.

"Oh, the sadness, the sadness!" Pinkie sobs in sadness, feeling like crying all over. "To never be play with again!"

"Guys will you calm down? We all knew that this day was coming!" Mickey exclaims to his friends, trying his best to calm them down.

"Right, we promised that when it did come, we would try to be brave to be there for Tommy, no matter what decision he makes for us." Minnie said in agreement with her boyfriend.

"Right, I agree. It's not like something bad will happen, right?" Twilight ask with a nervous smile.

Bugs meanwhile looks up to see Sarge and his men climbing onto Tommy's desk. Where are they going? Iago during this time exclaims, "Yeah, but guess what? The day is here! So far, only you two, Bugs, Unknown, Nicole, Penelope and your pony pals are the only ones who aren't cowards about the whole thing!"

"Oh dear, I am still worried too." Fluttershy said, shivering a bit.

"Relax, we can make one huge party out of it!" Pinkie exclaims, bouncing up and down, no longer saddened.

"Sarge! What in the world are you and your pals doing?" Bugs calls out, making the others turn to see Sarge and the last of his men climbing onto the window still in parachute.

"Are you parachuting out?" Golden Heart ask the military men in alarm.

"The war is over, sir. The boys are I are moving on." Sarge said seriously to his men.

"Wait, moving on?" Mickey ask in shock and disbelief.

"Are you going AWOL?" Bugs asks in shock. Sarge and his boys would never abandon the gang, and their owner, now. Why now?

"But we need you!" Penelope exclaims in shock at this.

"Our mission is now gone, Tommy is all grown up." Sarge said, pointing out the fact to his friends. Tommy is all grown up now, there is no reason to stay here.

"Oooh! Reference to Tommy's actual show!" Pinkamena exclaims with a happy giggle.

"Pinkamena, no time for being random." Golden Heart said seriously to his sister.

"And once the trash bag comes out, us military men will be the first to go." The first military trooper said in agreement with Sarge.

"Wait, t-t-t-t-t-trash bags?!" Porky yelps, feeling like fainting upon hearing that.

"Who said anything about trash bags?" Minnie ask the military toys, stunned. The rest of the toys are shocked to hear what Sarge is saying. Not good!

"Everyone, it's an honor serving you all. Good luck." Sarge said as he salutes Mickey and the others for the last time.

Sarge and the first military soldier got their parachutes ready as they jump out the window and open the parachutes, letting the wind carry them off. The second and last military trooper adds, "When the time comes, you will need it!" He then jumps after Sarge and fellow military solider as he flies off with the window.

As the toys looks stunned, Mickey calls out, "Wait, come back!"

"Too late, they're gone." Rainbow remarks in concern. "Geez, I thought these guys are supposed to be brave."

"Well, they are...but when the inevitable comes, even a good soldier knows when to accept fate and escape." Twilight said to Rainbow in sadness. Sarge and his men choose to jump ship than stay around.

"That isn't any reassuring." Spike remarks sarcastically to Twilight.

"We are getting thrown out!" Willie exclaims in terror.

"Relax, no one is getting thrown away!" Penelope exclaims, trying to calm her friends down.

"And how do you know?" Donald snaps to Penelope angrily.

"Right, we could end up in a landfill, burned to a crisp!" Daffy remarks, shuddering in fear.

"We're being abandoned, not again!" Lola sobs out in sadness and concern. It's like Serena abandoning her all over again!

"Lola, calm down, everything will be fine." Bugs said, trying his best to calm Lola down.

"Mickey is right, not one of us is getting thrown out!" Minnie exclaims in concern to her friends now. They must make a huge fuss just when Tommy is so close to leaving for college.

"Oh yeah, then why did Sarge and his boys left?" Iago snaps, challenging Minnie on that part.

"T-t-t-t-t-they must k-k-know something we don't!" Porky exclaims in fright.

"Perhaps we should leave too!" Daisy said in agreement.

"Right, we better leave and move on to new owners!" Oswald exclaims, wanting to leave right now before it's too late.

"Gawrsh, aren't we getting the attic?" Goofy ask his friends confused since that's where the remains of Tommy's toys are supposed to be at.

"Ha! How do we even know THAT?'

"Mickey, you and your Pals better step in now." Rarity said to Mickey in concern. The mouse must step in before the room ends up in big one panic.

"Duh, I hate all this uncertain stuff!" Willie the Giant was feeling worried about what was gonna happen to them.

"Willie, please calms yourself." Nicole tries to calm the peaceful giant toy, but no luck.

"Hey, hey, hey everybody. Calm down, please try to listen to me." Mickey was speaking in trying to calm down the crowd. "Look, no one's gonna be thrown out. We're all still here, right?" The mouse toy was trying to calmly explain the situation to those around them. "Well, okay, sure we lost a few friends along the way." The mouse got a bit touchy in knowing that MOST of Tommy's Toys have now left the room. "SpongeBob, Gogo Dodo, jacobyel..."

"Dugh, what about Minnie?" Willie pointed off something that was something else to be spoken for.

Having heard that made Mickey feel a bit sad to recall that. "Yeah, even...even Minnie." The mouse felt sadden when they ended up losing Minnie along the way.

"But, I'm still here." Minnie spoke to approach Mickey to hold his sorrow moment, so was Pluto & Figaro.

"Because of what was needed to be done." Unknown spoke forth in about to tell a story of what had occurred. "Losing those one is close to, can never be healed. Why else did you think I not secretly gone forth to find you...only to discover...your next owner spun his vehicle with you thrown out the window? And failed to go back afterwards." Unknown explained this, how when Minnie was in a yard sale, she was bought off, but her new owner wasn't careful during a sharp turn that the toy fell out the window, & the lamp broke, but not the toy contents.

"Eep, when Unknown took his toy bike out & left without saying a word, to come back with Minnie, Mickey didn't care as long as she was here." Bugs smiled off in remembering that heroic & mysterious feat that caught them all by surprise. "Course now we had to keep her hidden so our boy didn't think she was still around...at least until later on." Bugs pointed off what they did to make sure that Minnie was not noticed until maybe later on.

"Gosh, I was just glad Minnie wasn't hurt, or worse! Especially when you lost your lamp post." Mickey exclaimed off in feeling like the worse moment he ever faced, was when Minnie was almost gone from his life, or almost destroyed.

"Be glad Unknown found me, Pluto & Figaro...We may have lost what we came with, but...it was nothing to losing to be with you all." Minnie smiled off in stating this with a smile on her face, as she hug Mickey while the pets hug the two mice toys together.

"Ehhh, for you folks at home watching this, yes, Minnie as Bo-Peep never appeared in the 3rd film, & while JusSonic may allowed Juniper Lee to stay while her bro & pet dog were out, this story's gonna be different." Bugs broke the forth wall to come near the screen to speak this out to the Viewers seeing this puzzling scene.

"Is this another of Bugs cartoon character habit?" Nicole asked Unknown in seeing what the toy space rabbit was doing.

"You might say that." Unknown nods his head in stating the fact here.

"It's also a shame...my original toy self left as well...I wonder where my old body is." Nicole looked down in feeling a bit blue, knowing her original body that was a word toy displayer was sold off, but her mind & personality exist inside this Lynx body Unknown uploaded her consciousness into when they went off to rescue Mickey Mouse.

"It is most likely in a better place, but you not fear...you are your own self." Unknown patted Nicole's shoulder to calm the Lynx girl of her worries. "Now Mickey, you were saying?" Unknown spoke off to have the toy mouse boy continue.

"Oh, oh right. So anyway, all good toys have gone home to new owners." Mickey spoke off in trying to make a lighter fact of the subject. "But you know fellas, every yard sale, every spring cleaning, you know what, Tommy still held onto us." What Mickey's words said spoke true, made Lola look up from her sorrow state which was slowly making the others look at the mouse too. "I mean, he's gotta care about us or we wouldn't be here!" The mouse toy spoke true, they have been around the longest, maybe...Tommy still cares for them to not let them go. "Just you wait, Tommy's gonna tuck us all in the attic where it will be safe, warm, and...."

"And don't forget doc., we'll all be together." Bugs interrupts the mouse to say this out in a positive notion.

"Right Bugs, let's not forget that. Plus there are games up there for us to play with when we're not being played. Let's not forget the books and..." Mickey was trying to recall what was in the attic to help perk up the crowd.

"The race car track which still got a race car or two there." Minnie adds to her lover mouse boy's statement.

"Right, race car track. Thanks for that Minnie!" Mickey exclaim to his girl with a chuckle which made Minnie chuckle back.

"Gawrsh, I think there was that old TV!" Goofy exclaim off in remembering something else in the attic, liking the idea about living in the attic a bit.

"Right Goofy! The old TV! Plus, the guys from the Christmas decorations box? They're fun too, right?" Mickey reminds his pals of other things found in the attic. Most of the toys shrug a bit, murmuring in semi-agreement, thinking it’s okay...they guess. Of course, some are still concerned as to what's the point in living in the attic if there's no kid around to be played with. "You know what else? Someday, if we're lucky, Tommy may have kids of his own." The mouse points off to the gang.

"Mickey speaks true, all children grow up, & when they find love, they start a family of their own." Unknown pointed off to add in on the discussion.

"Dugh, does that mean he'll play with us by then? Dugh, right Mickey?" Willie asked Mickey eagerly in hoping for a yes response. The mouse toy of course looks at his friend in concern, not sure if he would say 'yes' when that answer is uncertain. Who would know if Tommy would even play with his old toys when he's an adult & even if he's married?

"Well...all I can say is, we will always be there for him." Mickey put up a front smiling face to issue off this claim & to give Willie the Giant some hopeful thoughts.

"It would be logical to confirm that even if Tommy does not play with us, if he has kids of his own, then they can." Nicole spoke out the logical notion about how their case is looking. "At least it doesn't take an advance AI to know that having so many friends around can help us keep going." Nicole issued off in knowing what it is that they need, each other to help keep their family together. But the rest of the toys still have sad display of doubt, wondering if they should even try anymore.

"Come on, ladies & gentlemen. Let's get our parts together, get ourselves in gear and go out on a high note!" Bugs exclaim to his pals in determination to help boost up self-confidence. After all, if the toys want to go out, may as well do it with dignity and on a high note too (well, maybe, so to speak).

Having heard much of that, the rest of the toys nod slowly in some little agreement of what to look forward to...before leaving the toy community meeting moment.

"I'd better find my other eye..." Daisy Duck felt her socket where her missing eye was at, pondering where she needs to find.

"Where did you leave it at this time?" Donald asked his wife with a frown.

"Well Donald, it's someplace dark...and it's kinda dusty..." Daisy her feather hand over her empty eye socket to find a clue as to where her missing eye's at, but could only point out certain facts.

"Oh brother! That narrows the list of places down a bit by about ten or so." Donald moans off to say in seeing the narrow down of where Daisy left her missing toy eye could be in any place that hasn't been clean.

"Well, Willie, let's see how much we're worth on E-Bay. Probably ehh...15 bucks or so." Iago said to Willie with sad sigh as the two toys left to see if they are worth much for someone else to take if the time comes that they go to.

As Mickey watches his pals go, he tries to assure them some more. "Don't worry, Tommy is gonna take care of all of us. I guarantee it. Mouse's honor!" The mouse toy put in a good word to cheer up everyone.

Of course, the truth be told, even Mickey Mouse is not sure. The mouse toy doesn't want to leave his owner behind or let him go as well as move on with his own existence. But what if, if Tommy truly does not need the toys that he cares for as a child anymore? The ones watching the mouse toy go off where Minnie, Figaro, Bugs, the Mane Six's group, Pinkamena, Golden Heart, Gold Wing, Penelope, Unknown & Nicole as they can tell something was up.

"We best follow the mouse. He don't look to well." Bugs pointed off in what they best do here, Mickey seems to need some confidents in this dire situation.

"Agreed, he may have many others fooled with his bravo facade, but inside, even one without a face to expression...can tell what he's truly thinking." Unknown issued off to speak this off over the case of point.

Mickey was seen climbing up onto the dresser to look around at the current version of Tommy's room; there are some things that are likely stuff a toy playing child never had. Car posters, rock star posters, an electric guitar, a computer monitor that's useful for older kids to do online work, the remainder of a child's room has changed so much over the years. There's even posters of a British hero named James Bond, and a robotic SWATbot as well. Then the mouse toy looks at a cork board where Tommy's high school graduation photo is pinned out, along with postcard from a couple named Slappy Squirrel and Alexander Armington. His mother and Dill are in the photo with him. But Mickey lifts the photo to show a child Jake holding his toy Keyblade, posing with Mickey, Bugs, Unknown, and all of his toys. He sighs sadly at the past that the toys can never come back to, time moves forward for children to grow up.

"Mickey, are you alright?" Minnie spoke off to Mickey in concern as she came up to him.

"Oh, um...hey there...guys." Mickey slowly spoke in seeing he had company.

"Eh, so ye guarantied your mouse's honor, eh doc." Bugs spoke off softly in thinking Mickey wasn't being completely honest.

"Oh, I just don't know." Mickey sighs in sadness while saying off what he felt in his own moment of sorrow. "It's just...this day came too soon. Look at me, trying to put on a front show to say this in making it sound like everything will be okay.

"Enjoying one's life as a toy for one's child, being a toy to that child means very much...especially if that toy...has been around the longest." Unknown explained forth this mysterious message that held a hidden meaning that for a toy a child cares for the most, seeing that child leave may be the hardest moment that toy has to come to realize.

"I'm sure the choice will come to us Mickey, the one for all of us...you, Tommy, everyone." Minnie came up to Mickey and gave him a hug to help ease the poor thing's worries.

"Gosh, thanks Minnie." Mickey sighs a bit while he accepts a hug from the mouse girl.

"But the question still remains for the others." Nicole pointed out the logic in what to do with Tommy's remaining toys in the room.

"Hugh, I know that too well; what else could I have said to them?" Mickey sighs to look down in sadness as the group here looks at the snapshot of a young Tommy.

"Ehh, never forget doc. No matter what happens. At least we'll always be together. Through thick & thin!" Bugs spoke off in helping to build up the lighten moment of the mood.

"To the 24th and 1/2 Century & Beyond, huh." Mickey spoke off these words that he's usual heard Bugs say from time to time.

Time seem to freeze up here, as if nothing was going to happen here while this moment felt like lasting...Too bad it was a short lived moment...

"Yo bro, can I have that stereo of yours?" Just then outside of Tommy's door, Dil's voice was heard sounding like he was speaking to Tommy.

"No way Dil!" Tommy's voice responded off in protesting against the idea.

Hearing voices from outside the room got the toys on the desk's attention, made them turn in alarm of knowing that Tommy & his brother were coming here.

"Aw come on, why ever not?" Dil's voice asked off in sounding disappointed.

"Duh! It's cause I'm taking my stereo with me!" Tommy's voice issued off in irritation that he will be taking his stereo with him.

The rest of the toys in the room yelp in hearing that Tommy was coming back, which means they have to get back to their positions. Knowing the case, all of the toys were quickly running off towards the toy chest, those on the ground to those off the chest drawers. Unknown return to where he was station to watch & observe everything while the others got to the toy chest in time. It appears many will have to wait & see what Tommy is gonna eventually do with them, either now or around a later moment...

Well, the toys' future is left uncertain, that's for sure. In the next chapter, Tommy decides on what to do with his old toys. But a mistake by Didi made most of the toys be put on the curb for garbage, and it's up to Mickey and those who know the truth to help them now. Read, review and suggest.

One of the posters on Tommy's wall is that of James Bond, who played Finn McMissile in my first fanmake of "Cars 2".

The other poster is a SWATbot who played an Omnidroid in my second fanmake of "The Incredibles".

On Tommy's bulletin board is a postcard from Slappy Squirrel and Alexander Armington. This is a reference that they played Carl and Ellie in my second fanmake of "Up".
