canon is Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers

[princesswhatshername]

Well of course my story is in that splendid little hearts and kingdoms game, whatever it's called. Ours is a romance for the ages. You would know, having nearly worn out that DVD of yours. Not that I can blame you.

But as much good taste as you have, I simply can't take part in any of these games! My place is back in France, so I can be with my darling musketeer. He'll be so worried if he finds out I'm missing... Oh! And that means he'll have to come and rescue me, won't he? He'll fight everyone in his way and defy all odds to get me back. He'll ride in on a white horse and sweep me off my feet... a perfect rescue romance!

Madame Mundane, I demand you find me a game right this instant!

Is he a mouse, too? Wouldn't horse-riding be a little...awkward for you two?

[but hey, who's he kidding? if fish can walk on land and sing, surely mice can ride horses. makes all the sense in the world.]

[princesswhatshername]

... All right, maybe not a horse. Maybe just a pony.

But it would still be very romantic.

[truffulacide]

I was thinking of something more along the lines of a dog. Preferably one of those big, fluffy white ones.

[princesswhatshername]

... You've never been in love, have you. Honestly...

[men. pfft.]

[truffulacide]

[WHO TOLD YOU- pffffft, what nonsense.]

T-That - That has nothing to do with it! I'm just being practical. [a petulant little sniff.] I wouldn't expect you to understand if you really are royalty.

[princesswhatshername]

Of course I'm really royalty! But when it comes to love, practicality comes second. You'll understand that when Cupid takes notice of you. It's something quite difficult to understand until you feel it yourself.

[translation - blah blah blah shut your mouth.]

[truffulacide]

[is he seriously getting backsass from a mouse? is this really A Thing?]

Aren't you jumping to conclusions? Boy, oh boy - for your information, Mouse, I can have any girl I want like that. [he snaps his fingers.] For all you know, I could've very well wrote the book on lovey-dovey, sappy cliches, all from personal experience! I'm just that well-versed.

[princesswhatshername]

And do you have a girl you want?

[Cause she won't be taking any sass from a boy whose only bed companion is danny devito and hummingfish.]

[truffulacide]

[SHUT UP, JEEZE]

Yeah, of course!

[a veeeeeery long pause follows. he plants a hand on his hip and tilts his head to the side, looking thoughtful and more than a little irate.]

...I mean, I could. I've just chosen not to for the moment. I'm a very busy guy, y'know. My schedule's full enough as it is without any girls to distract me from doing my things. My important things.

[princesswhatshername]

What in the world could be more important than true love?

[Aw, and now she's feeling sorry for you, beanpole.]

[truffulacide]

Well - success, of course. And stability. [although he doesn't sound too sure about that. look at all the trouble getting ahead in life has caused for him.] There's a reason why people like to concentrate on - on bettering themselves before even thinking about having a person in their life. That's the impression I always got.

[princesswhatshername]

... And you think you need to better yourself? Aside from being a tad nitpicky, I don't see anything wrong with you.

Why, if you want someone to like you, you should be able to like yourself first.

[truffulacide]

You really think so?

Aside from my impeccable sense of fashion and - if I do say so myself - amazing voice, there's not much to like about me.

[princesswhatshername]

But those are wonderful things! And you also seem to be very nice. So you have plenty going for you already!

Besides, you've got a lot to work with. Girls love it when guys serenade them with great voices. [Siiiiigh~]

[truffulacide]

You really think so? You don't even know me.

...Huh. Guess you got a point there. [and he brightens up considerably, nudging the guitar he has strapped over his shoulder.] Luckily for me, I always come prepared.

[princesswhatshername]

[Totally ignoring that first bit, cause who needs stuff like knowledge when LOVE IS AT STAKE. Instead, she claps.]

Well then, play something for me! Let's see how good you are.

[truffulacide]

Alright, alright! [he unstraps his guitar and stands there for a few moments, that contemplative look returning to his face. a tiny but sunny smile begins to form.]

Here, try this.

[he starts strumming a jazzy, bouncy little tune.]

Cherries on an ice cream sundae,
Little tea cakes on a golden tray.
Chocolate pudding, it's my special treat,
The world at my fingertips, isn't it neat?
But please, don't ever think me mean,
'cause I get only the best -
Na na na, la de da~
Only the best for a queen!

[princesswhatshername]

[Wow, even the mun is impressed. And kinda hungry now. Have some applause.]

Why, that was splendid! You're a natural!

[truffulacide]

Heheh... Well, I try! Y'know, you're not too bad yourself, Mouse. I bet I could write a song about you by the end of the day, if not sooner!

[princesswhatshername]

If you plan to do that, perhaps you should start by actually knowing my name.

[Clears throat, and curtsies.]

I am Princess Minnie Mouse.

[truffulacide]

I knew half of it! That's better than nothing.

[is this the part where he bows? seems like he should, but... gosh, how would he be able to pull that off without looking like a doofus?

but he tries anyway with a sweep of his arm to punctuate it and make the gesture look a little less clumsy and a lot more graceful. you can't say he didn't try.]

I'm Once-ler. I suppose you're the first princess I've ever met.

[princesswhatshername]

[What the hell kind of name is that. Are your brothers twice-ler and third-celer? but anyways.]

I suppose you're the first... Once-ler I've ever met. A first number one once-ler!

[well, she thought it was funny.]

[sweetestdisposition]

I just hope your mun is faster at finding a game for you than mine is.

[Shut up Donald you know good and well the reason you're not in a game yet is because I can't decide on a CANON, not a game.]

[princesswhatshername]

Maybe she's waiting for the right game that has your sweetheart in it!

[which will never happen but don't tell her that. delusions are fun.]

[sweetestdisposition]

Aww phooey, my mun doesn't even like Daisy!

[Aaaand then he very quickly and nervously looks around to make sure Daisy isn't anywhere nearby, can't have her hearing that oh god disaster.]

[princesswhatshername]

[Fortunately this mun has been too lazy to transfer her daisy account to DW. Phew.]

I can't imagine why! She's a lovely lady-in-waiting. Sure, she can be a bit snippy, diminutive, dismissive, snobby, snooty, greedy, insulting, selfish...

[to the point, mins.]

... But she means well, and she loves you sooo much~!
