The Mad Tea Party (Minnie Mouse version)

After walking through the woods, Minnie had finally found a house which she believes could be the Bear Hatter and the March Orangutan's house.

"How very curious!" Minnie cried.

She walked to the gate that was the side of the house to see who could be singing. She saw that there was a long table, with a pink tablecloth and many and many teapots and cups and many more things. Sitting around the table were two animals that seem happy.

They were Baloo (a dark bluish-gray Indian sloth bear with a crimson nose, a gray muzzle and belly, white claws toenails, three fingers and a thumb on each hand, and a brief tail, wearing a yellow polo shirt and a red cap with a black visor) and King Louie (a stout orangutan with orange fur, a light gray mask, thick black eyebrows, and a flesh-colored snout, palms, and soles. He wears a beige straw hat, a teal Hawaiian shirt with light green patterns, and a pink lei), and right now, they were singing a song, while steam was coming out of the teapots, playing along with the song.

King Louie: *To us*
*A very know what day today is tea forget of us*

Baloo: *A very merry unbirthday*

King Louie: *A very merry unbirthday*

Baloo and King Louie: *A very merry unbirthday*
*To uuuuuussss*

As a solo was taking place, Minnie looked from behind the chair and saw the teapots dancing around. She tried to look at the guests of the party, but the steam was in the way. So she looked down through the teapots.

King Louie: *Aaaaa*
*Very merry unbirthday*
*To me*

Baloo: *To who?*

King Louie: *To me!*

Baloo: *Oh, you!*

King Louie: *A very merry unbirthday*
*To you*

Baloo: *Who me?*

King Louie: *Yes, you!*

Baloo: *Oh, me!*

King Louie: *Let's all congratulate us*
*With another cup of tea*
*A very merry unbirthday*
*Toooooooooooooooooooooooo*
*Yooooooouuuuuuuu*

When the song was over, Minnie applauded. Baloo and Louie noticed that Minnie was there. They sprang from their chairs and jumped from chair to chair over to her, saying, "No room, no room, no room!"

Minnie sat down on a chair in confusion and protested, "But I thought there was plenty of room."

"Ah, but it's very rude to sit down without being invited!" Louie said.

Baloo said in agreement, "I say it's rude! It's very, very rude indeed. Hah!"

A brown circus mouse named Timothy Q. Mouse, who was wearing a red/gold ringmaster's outfit with a matching hat with a white feather, peeked out of a teapot and repeated in a sleepy voice, "Very, very, very rude indeed..."

Minnie figures that they had a point, so she apologized, saying, "Oh, I'm sorry, but I did enjoy your singing and I wondered if you could tell me..."

Louie jumped on the chair Minnie was sitting on said, "You enjoyed our singing?"

"Oh, what a delightful child!" Baloo said. "Hah! I'm so excited, we never get compliments! You must have a cup of tea."

"Ah, yes indeed!" Louie agreed. "You must have a cup of tea!"

"That would be very nice. And I'm sorry that I interrupted your birthday party." Minnie said, as Louie gave her the tea. "Thank you."

Louie then grabbed the tea back and said, "Birthday? Ha, ha, ha! My dear child, this is not a birthday party."

Then Baloo picked up a teapot and poured tea, as he said, "Of course not. He-he-he. This is an unbirthday party."

"Unbirthday?" Minnie said in confusion. "Why, I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand."

"It's very simple," Louie explained. "See, thirty days have Sept-no, when..." Louie scratched his head. "An unbirthday, if you have a birthday, then you..." Then he laughed how hard it is to explain. "She doesn't know what an unbirthday is!"

Baloo replied, "How silly... Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha... Ah-hum..." He coughed a little and used a tea pot to spray some steam to clear his throat. "I shall elucidate!"

Louie used a spoon as a baton to conduct the tea pots into music.

Baloo: *Now statistics prove*
*Prove that you've*
*One birthday*

Louie: *Imagine*
*Just one birthday every year*

Baloo: *Ahhh*
*But there are over 364*
*Unbirthdays*

Louie: *Precisely*
*Why we're gathered here*
*To cheer*

And since today wasn't Minnie's birthday, Minnie got up and said, "Well, then today is my unbirthday too."

"It is?" said Louie, looking surprised.

"What a small world this is." Baloo commented.

"In that case..." Louie said, before he and Baloo jumped out of their seats and started to dance around Minnie.

Louie: *A very merry unbirthday*

Minnie: *To me?*

Baloo: *To you*

He takes off his hat to present a big pink cake trim in white with a burning candle on top.

Louie: *A very merry unbirthday*

Minnie: *For me?*

Baloo: *For you*

Baloo gives Minnie the cake.

Baloo: *Now blow out the candle out, my dear*
*And make your wish come true*

He picks some icing up with his finger and licked it off, with a laugh.

Minnie blew the candle out and it started to flare like a fuse. In fact, to Minnie's surprise, the cake launched to the sky like a skyrocket.

Baloo and Louie: *A very merry unbirthday*
*To*
*You*

The cake exploded with many pretty colors like fireworks, much to Minnie's delight. Out of the smoke, descended Timothy with a tiny umbrella tied on him.

Timothy: *Twinkle, twinkle little bat*
*How I wonder where you're at*
*Up above the world you fly*
*Like a tea tray in the sky*

Timothy landed in a tea pot and Danny closed the pot.

Minnie clapped and said, "Oh, that was lovely!"

Baloo dipped his saucer in a teacup and said, "And us, now my dear, he-he, uh... you were saying that you would like to sit, uh...? Pardon me."

He then took a bite of the saucer. And he continued. "You were seeking some information of some kind...he-he!"

Louie gave Minnie a cup of tea, as Minnie accepted it and said, "Oh yes. You see, I'm looking for a..."

Baloo then called out, "Clean cup, clean cup! Move down, move down, move down!" as he threw his cups in the air as did Louie.

Louie grabbed Minnie by the hand and made her stand up and follow.

Minnie said in confusion, "But I haven't used my cup!"

Louie: *Clean cup, clean cup*
*Move down, move down*
*Clean cup, clean cup*
*Move down*

Baloo picked up a teapot with three spouts on each level of the height.

As he poured tea in three cups, he asked Minnie, "Would you like a little more tea?"

Minnie tried to get some tea out of a teapot that has no spout, as she explains, "Well, I haven't had any yet, so I can't very well take more..."

Louie took the teapot, cracked the teapot, and poured in Minnie's cup.

"Ahhh, you mean you can't very well take less!" Louie corrected her.

Baloo scooped a spoon full of sugar and poured it into Minnie's cup, then poured all the whole sugar pot in the cup, too much, in fact, that it overflowed.

"Yes! You can always take more than nothing!" Baloo agreed.

Minnie took the cup and said, "But I only meant that..."

She was about to sip it, but the sugar was not allowing her to.

Baloo held four cups of full tea, and tossed a teapot after filling the fourth one on top.

"And now, my dear, something seems to be troubling you," he said, as he took a sip of the teacup at the bottom. "Uh, won't you tell us all about it?"

"Start at the beginning." Louie said.

"Yes, yes," Baloo agreed. "And when you come to the end, heh, heh, heh, heh, stop! See?"

"Well, it all started when I was sitting on the riverbamk with Figaro," Minnie began.

"Very interesting," Louie said, as he drank some tea, but then slammed the tea down quick with an excited expression. "Who's Figaro?"

"Well, Figaro is my cat," Minnie explained. "You see..."

Right when Minnie said 'cat', Timothy poked his head out of the teacup, as he shouted, "Cat?" and then started to go nuts in panic and started to run around the table.

"Cat! Cat! Cat.." Timothy was crying as everybody except Minnie went after Timothy to calm him down. Baloo and Louie jumped and grabbed Timothy by the tail.

Louie then said, "Hurry! Get the jam! Quickly! Get the jam!"

Minnie didn't need a second invite and went for the jam.

"On his nose, on his nose!" Baloo instructed her, as Minnie scooped some jam up with a knife and smothered it on Timothy's nose, making him calm down, even as he said, "Where's the cat?"

Baloo sighed in relief and said, "Oh. Oh, my goodness! Those are the things that upset me!"

Louie poured some tea and stops the pouring by plugging the flow with his finger, as he said, "See all the trouble you've started?"

Minnie received the cup and said, "But, really, I didn't think..."

"Ah, but that's the point," Louie said. "If you don't think, you shouldn't talk!"

Minnie was about to drink her tea, when Baloo shouted, "Clean cup, clean cup! Move down, move down, move down!"

"But I still haven't used..." Minnie began to protest, they moved down.

Louie: *Move down, move down, move down*

"And now, my dear, as you were saying?" Baloo asked.

"Oh, yes," Minnie said. "I was sitting on the riverbank with uh..." She whispered into Baloo's ear, "With you-know-who."

Baloo said in excitement, "I do? Heh, heh, heh, heh..."

"I mean my C...A...T..."

Baloo then pulled out a teapot and said, "Tea?"

Louie then cut a cup in half with a knife and said, "Just half a cup, if you don't mind." Baloo poured Louie some tea into the half cup.

"Come, come my dear," Baloo said, with a laugh. "Don't you care for tea?"

"Why, yes," Minnie began, "I'm very fond of tea, but..."

"If you don't care for tea, you could at least make polite conversation!" Louie said.

"Well, I've been trying to ask you..." Minnie began.

"I have an excellent idea," Louie said. "Let's change the subject!"

He then bonked Baloo's hat onto his head with a mallet.

Baloo popped the top of his half off and asked, "Why is a raven like a writing desk?"

Minnie then said in confusion, "Riddles? Let me see now. Why is a raven like a writing desk?"

Baloo then said, "I beg your pardon?"

"Poe writes on both!" Minnie answered.

Baloo then said in panic, "Poe writes on what?"

Louie jumped on Baloo and said, "Careful! She's stark raving mad!"

Minnie got up and said, "But-but it's your silly riddle! You just said..."

Baloo and Louie backed away from Minnie.

"Very good?" asked Baloo, as he tried to use a chair to defend himself.

Louie nervously held out a cup of tea, saying, "How about a nice cup of tea?"

Minnie then yelled in frustration, "Have a cup of tea, indeed! Well, I'm sorry, but I just haven't the time!"

Louie then shouted, "The time! The time! Who's got the time?"

Then, Kaa came in, saying in panic, "No, no, no, no! No time, no time, no time! Hello, good-bye! I'm late! I'm late!"

Minnie was surprised that the snake actually came to this mad tea party, as Minnie said, "The Indian python!"

Kaa took out his watch and said, "Oh, I'm so late! I'm so very, very late!"

Then, Baloo yanked the watch out of the snake's pocket, also, yanking the snake's neck.

"Well, no wonder you're late," Baloo said, as he examined the watch. "Why, this clock is exactly two days slow!"

"Two days slow?" asked Kaa.

"Of course you're late!" Baloo said, as he dipped the watch in a teapot then slammed it on the table, removing the face of the watch and laughed, as he said, "My goodness. We'll have to look into this." Baloo placed a saltshaker in his eye and looked down at the watch, Baloo salt pour all over the watch. "Aha!" Baloo said. "I see what's wrong with it! Why, this watch is full of wheels!"

He then started digging out all the gears and springs with a fork. The snake couldn't believe what was happening. As if his house being burnt wasn't bad enough.

"Oh, my poor watch! Oh, my wheels! My springs!" Kaa yelled, as he grabbed some springs and wheels as one spring got caught on his nose, before he stuttered, "But-but-but-but, but-but-but..."

"Butter," Baloo said. "Of course, we need some butter! Butter!"

"Butter!" Louie yelled into Kaa's ear.

"But-But-Butter?" Kaa said, as he spotted a tray of butter and picked it up.

Baloo took the butter from the snake and said, "Butter, oh, thank you, butter. Ha-ha. Yes, that's fine."

He then started to spread butter all over the clock's face.

Kaa then yelled in panic, "Oh-no-no, no-no-no, you'll get crumbs in it!"

"Oh, this is the very best butter," Baloo said, as he slammed the butter in the snake's face. "What are you talking about?"

Louie then said, "Tea?"

"Tea!" Baloo said, as he poured tea on the watch. "Oh, I never thought of tea! Of course!"

"No!" Kaa said, as Baloo said, "Tea," and laughed, as the snake said, "No! Not tea!"

Louie blocked the snake's way with his foot and said, "Sugar?"

Baloo replied, "Sugar. Two spoons, yes, ha, two spoons. Thank you, yes."

He took two spoons and slammed them on the watch.

"Oh, please! Be careful!" Kaa said.

"Jam?" Louie asked, as he handed the jam to the snake.

Baloo took the jam from Kaa and said, "Jam, I forgot all about jam!"

He poured the jam on the watch and spread it around.

"No, no!" Kaa said. "Not jam!"

"Yes, sure you want," Baloo said, "it's nice to see."

"Mustard?" asked Louie, as he balanced a jar of mustard on his foot.

"Mustard? Yes, but..." Baloo began, before he stopped and said, "Mustard? Don't let be silly!" He tossed the mustard, took a lemon, and poured it into the clock, as he said, "Lemon, that's different, that's..." Then he closed the watch and used a butter knife to slice off the jam, as he said, "There. That should do it."

Then, the watch started to go haywire and jump around.

"Look at that!" Baloo exclaimed.

"It's going mad!" Louie said.

"Oh, my goodness!" Minnie said, looking worried.

"Oh dear!" Kaa said.

"It's going mad!" Louie said, as the clock jumped about. "Mad watch!"

"I don't understand," Baloo said, "it's the best butter."

"Mad watch! Mad watch! Mad watch!" Louie shouted.

"Oh, look!" Baloo exclaimed, as it went crazy. "Oh, my goodness!"

Louie lifted his hammer and said, "There's only one way to stop a mad watch!" He slammed the watch, destroying it completely. Now, it's nothing but a small pile of junk.

Baloo stared at it, before he said, nonchalantly, as he passed the watch to Kaa, "Two days slow, that's what it is."

"Oh, my watch..." Kaa said, getting all teary-eyed.

"It was?" asked Baloo.

"And it was my unbirthday present too..." added Kaa.

"Well, in that case..." Baloo said, as he and Louie grabbed the snake and prepared to throw him out of the garden.

Baloo and Louie: *A very merry unbirthday*
*Tooooooooooooooooooooooooooo*
*You*

Baloo and Louiw tossed Kaa out of the garden and waved goodbye to him as Minnie tried to catch up to the snake.

"Mister Snake!" Minnie yelled, as she ran out of the party. "Oh, Mister Snake! Oh, now where did he go to?"

Then, she heard the tea party song again.

She turned and glared at Baloo and Louie, before she stormed off and Minnie muttered, "Of all the silly nonsense, this is the stupidest tea party I've ever been to in all my life."
