BEHIND THESE DOORS

24

(Y'all idefk what I'm doing here, bare with me, the Mickey Mouse clubhouse Wild West arc is almost over 🙏🙏🙏🙏)

Grumble POV:

"Thank you all for gathering here... as you know, this will be the final supper before we eat Rush." I sat at the head of the table, addressing all in attendance. "It has been an honor to be the... queen of the Mickey Mouse clubhouse Wild West."

I scanned over everyone in attendance. It was everyone but the prisoner and the outlaws... Rush, Giggle, and Gloombat. It was sad that who I considered "family" were outlawed, but it's a means to an end, no?

"Does anyone have a toast to make before we eat?" I leaned forward and intertwined my fingers.

Shadow stood up, rising their glass of Hide's blood. "A toast to the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Wild West, the new world."

Everyone raised their glass to that... that's when, just out of the corner of my eye, I saw Timothy opening Rush's door. I rose up. "What do you think you're doing?"

He rushed in, and before I could call Screech and Eyes to stop him, Rush was running out. Giggle and Gloombat ran into the room in a spur of light. Giggle jumped up to the table and began speaking. "THIS HAS GONE WAY TOO FAR, GRUMBLE!"

"Seize her,"

Screech and Eyes looked at each other, then to me. "No," Eyes spoke, his voice calm and calculated.

"Fuck you mean no??"

"No. We're not doing anything to her. This is... wrong." Eyes shook his head, looking down. "Wrong and disgusting!"

Gloombat spoke up, standing next to Giggle. "You are eating someone we used to know!! Drinking her blood! It's disgusting— Grumble, you outlawed your sister and me! We're all basically family, and you just outlawed us!?"

"It was a means to an end— THIS IS RIDICULOUS!"

Ambush stood up on a table. "The Mickey Mouse clubhouse Wild West is ridiculous. There has to be some law." He raised his sweatpants leg to his thigh, revealing his knife... he pulled it out, twirled it around, and pointed it at me. "this is a coup."

Rush ran back in, guns a slinging in both hands, shirt back on. "Your tyranny has gone too far, man... we could've been bros."

I raised my hands in surrender. "Who all is in on this coup?"

Just about everyone pulled out their weapons. "Everyone." Ambush drew closer to me. "You will give up your throne, and peace will be restored to the land—"

It was just then that the "savior" walked in— Halt. Back from their leave. "What... the... fuck."

We all looked over to her with an "oh shit" look on our faces. "RUN—!" Someone called out, I couldn't even make out who it was before we were all gone.

He grabbed me by the hair. "WHAT THE FUCK!? I LEAVE FOR FOUR FUCKING DAYS TO DEAL WITH MY EMOTIONAL ISSUES, AND I COME BACK TO... THIS SHIT!? POOR RUSH IS A FUCKING MESS— WHAT HAPPENED HERE!?"

Timothy came out of the wood work. "Sooooo... when you left, Grumble kinda ceased power, violence was everywhere, we kept Rush prisoner and beat the shit out of him, Giggle and Gloombat became outlaws, a coup formed, and we called this new nation the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Wild West."

Halt's eye twitched. Oh lord...

.

Halt POV:

I could not believe the absolute rage pumping through my veins. I grabbed Grumble by the ear and began pulling him out. "AYE, CARAJO— EVERYONE, FOLLOW ME, DAMNIT!" Everyone formed "The Halt Line" behind me. "WE ARE GOING TO JEFF'S SHOP SINCE YOU FUCKERS DONT KNOW HOW TO ACT!!"
