"He's never comin' back, is he?"

"...No."

This is an except from a backstory I've thought of how Mickey Mouse coped with Walt Disney's death in the cartoon world. Here, while in the "bargaining" stage of grieving, he tries to use toon magic to bring Walt back to life: Snow White's Wishing Well, The Wishing Star, the Blue Fairy, Merlin, even the Three Good Fairies (Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather.) It isn't until Mickey tries, and fails, to use Yen Sid's magic again that he finally admits it to himself, and hits rock bottom in the "depression" stage of grieving.

Yen Sid doesn't approve of Mickey's actions, but, for once, he's not hard on him for it. He knows Mickey would try using magic if he thought it could bring his dad back. Walt did inspire him to "do the impossible." Mickey learned the hard way that human mortality was one area where that motto couldn't apply.

Shoutout to , and her old Disney pieces that also inspired me to make this!
