Mickey and his friends were working as fast as possible to get everything ready for a special day. Minnie's twin nieces, Millie and Melody, were turning eight years old and the party was being held at the clubhouse. Daisy was keeping watch with the telescope and saw the twins arriving early. She hollered down to alert the others.

"They're here!"

Minnie was startled to hear that they were early, and quickly formed a plan to keep everything a surprise. She and Mickey rushed outside and told the twins that they were taking them fishing while the preparations were being finished. The twins were surprised by this but went along with them to the lake. No-one knew that the day was about to get crazy, or that trouble was brewing. As Melody was reeling in a catch, a loud crash of thunder made her heart jump in her mouth and she staggered backwards in the boat. Minnie looked up and saw dark storm clouds forming. Mickey saw six strange aircrafts fly overhead and drop something into the woods that started fires. Soon, rain was pouring like nobody had ever seen.

"We need to get off the lake and get back to the clubhouse, FAST!", cried Minnie.

She and Mickey started rowing back to the dock, but the rain was making it harder. A gust of wind blew the boat sideways and capsized it in the water. Mickey managed to jump out before the boat had completely turned over, but he was the only one who escaped. Minnie's life jacket got snagged on one of the oarlocks, Millie's right arm got caught in the towline, and Melody hit her left leg on her seat and was left in pain. Before she was dragged down all the way, Minnie called out to Mickey.

"GET HELP, QUICK!"

Mickey nodded and swam to the dock.

"Oh, Toodles!", he hollered.

Toodles came in a flash. After asking what was going on, he was told that Minnie and her nieces were in trouble. Toodles indicated that everyone else had seen the fires start and ran inside. He used his digital recorder to write a call for help and then hurried back to the clubhouse to launch a small rocket with the disc on board. Mickey was nervous that it was too late.
