Disaster on Trying to Impress Momma Robotnik/Reflection

(As soon as Minnie and the four girls bowed down behind their opened parasols in front of a house, the front doors barged open, revealing a fat woman with a bald head, black eyes with red irises, black pupils and long black mascara-covered eyelashes, a pink nose, a long orange mustache, red lipstick-covered lips, and wearing a mint green hat with a light purple feather, a white sleeveless undergarment dress, a pink short-sleeved dress with poofy sleeves, a gold metal bracelet with an assortment of gems on her left wrist, and black high-heeled shoes, and sometimes carried a mint green umbrella with pale blue frills and a brown handle and a brown shopping bag with gold yellow circles all over it, That is Momma Robotnik, the matchmaker that Minnie is meeting with to impress her and that she is working hard on. As soon as she emerged with a flat, nonchalant look, Momma Robotnik pulled out her notepad and brush and read out Minnie's full name)

Momma Robotnik: Gibson, Minerva Veronica Lillian Mouse AKA Minnie.

(Minnie stood straight up excitedly, emerging from behind her parasol and closing it)

Minnie: Present!

Momma Robotnik: (Sighs flatly, nonchalantly) Speaking without permission.

(Feeling embarrassed upon hearing Momma Robonik say that, Minnie winced a bit)

Minnie: (Winces a bit, slapping her face in embarrassment) Oops.

(Then she walked up to the doors with Momma Robotnik. Watching this, Minnie's group, Mama Mousekwitz, and Elizabeth got calmly aghast as Momma Robotnik's cranky, nonchalant behavior)

Mama Mousekwitz: (Whispering to Minnie's group and Elizabeth, aghast) Who spit in her bean curd?

Minnie's group and Elizabeth: (Whispering with a shrug) We have no idea.

(Once inside the house, Momma Robotnik closed the doors and then looked closely at Minnie for inspection as Minnie stood in a polite poised position like a lady, feeling calmly nervous)

Momma Robotnik: Hmm.... Too skinny.

(She scoffs as she turned away to write some notes)

Momma Robotnik: (Writing her notes) Not good for bearing sons.

(As Momma Robotnik continued writing her notes, Todd opened the door to his cage upon smelling something delicious nearby. Noticing a small Malay sponge cake sitting on the side table nearby, where the smell is coming from, Todd quietly tiptoed over to it and as soon as he arrived in front of it, he got excited to eat it)

Todd: (Whispering happily and hungrily) Yummy....

(The only one hearing him, Minnie gasped quietly and, in a panic, quickly ushered Todd to get back in his cage. Confused by that gesture, Todd then happily gobbled the sponge cake whole and ate it. Shocked and concerned, Minnie immediately snatched Todd up as soon as he finished eating and hid him behind her. On cue after she hid him, Momma Robotnik turned to her and spoke)

Momma Robonik: Recite the final admonition.

(Doing what Momma Robotnik asked, Minnie immediately pulled out her Chinese fan and began reciting while Todd snuck off in happy quiet curiosity)

Minnie: Fulfill your duties, calmly and....

(She peeks underneath her dress sleeve towards her notes, only to find the ink all smudged on her arm, and, calmly nervous, she tried to remember the words she practiced before while hiding her smudged notes back in her sleeve while still holding the fan up)

Minnie: (Nervously) Respectfully. Um, reflect before you snack.... (Realizes, then nervously corrects herself) Act! This shall bring you honor and glory.

(She nervously fans herself a bit with her fan, chuckling nervously a bit. Suspicious, Momma Robotnik grabs Minnie's note-filled arm and and took her fan to see any cheat notes, but to Minnie's relief, she didn't find any notes. Then Momma Robotnik dragged Minnie to a nearby table)

Momma Robotnik: This way.

(As soon as they arrived as the table, Momma Robotnik released Minnie's arm, her hand's entire palm covered in white ink, yet Momma Robotnik didn't even know it. Then as Minnie sat at the opposite side of the table, Momma Robotnik picked up a white porcelain teapot filled with tea and placed it on the table, still not noticing the ink smudge on her palm. Noticing the ink smudge, Minnie stared in calm shock and silence, not saying a word)

Momma Robotnik: Now, pour the tea. To please your future in-laws, you must demonstrate a sense of dignity....

(Momma Robotnik then rubbed her ink-covered fingertips on her face around her mouth underneath her mustache, and the ink residue left by her fingers formed into a shape of a thin lined beard and mustache, yet Momma Robotnik did not realize it. As Momma Robotnik continued, Minnie stared at her in surprise that she accidentally poured the tea on the table at first, but then she saw the tea spilled on the table and quickly poured the tea into a white porcelain teacup instead)

Momma Robotnik: (Continuing) And refinement. You must also be poised.

(Suddenly, Minnie noticed Todd, hidden under the table, peeking at the teacup, happily getting ready to try out some tea. Then Momma Robotnik picked the teacup and got ready to drink the tea as Todd, concerned on not being able to drink some tea, quietly went after her)

Todd: (Whispering) Hey!

(Noticing in concern, Minnie tried to get Todd's attention)

Minnie: (To Todd, softly) Um, pardon me...?

Momma Robotnik: (Rudely, thinking Minnie is talking to her) And silent!

(Serena pipes down nervously. Then just as Momma Robotnik is about to drink her tea, Todd was about to take the teacup when Minnie intervened nervously, gently grabbing at the teacup)

Minnie: (Nervously) Could I just take that back? One moment.

(Surprised, Momma Robotnik got calmly impatient and soon began tugging with Minnie over the teacup when Minnie accidentally slipped the teacup out of her grip and spilled all the tea onto Momma Robotnik's cleavage section of her dress, staining it wet with tea and even accidentally knocking Momma Robotnik down from that, shocking and concerning Minnie. Even Todd, noticing this, got shocked and concerned as well)

Momma Robotnik: (To Minnie, angrily recovering) Why, you clumsy...!

Todd: (Speaking up, jumping in front of Momma Robotnik) Wait! She didn't mean...!

(Todd jumps in front of Momma Robotnik in concern, startling her and making her fall down again, this time landing her rear onto a nearby firepot, burning her rear. Then Momma Robotnik began jumping up and down, screaming and trying to put the smoking coal stains off her rear, spreading smoke everywhere. Grabbing her fan, Minnie quickly tried fanning the rear when it bursts into flames, making Momma Robotnik scream in a panic even more. Outside, everyone heard the commotion and got concerned)

Mama Mousekwitz: (Whispering in sarcasm, chuckling a bit with Minnie's group) I think it's going well, don't you?

(Then the doors bursted open and, as smoke flowed out of the house, Momma Robotnik emerged, panicking as her rear continued to burn as Minnie ran out in concern, carrying the teapot)

Momma Robotnik: (Panicking) Put it out! Put it out! PUT IT OUT!!

(Minnie immediately splashed the tea into Momma Robotnik, dousing the flames finally and even melting off her makeup and ink smudge. As soon as it all calmed down as the smoke cleared away, Momma Robotnik then stood there, in tranquil fury. Feeling embarrassed, Minnie returned the teapot to Momma Robotnik and after giving a bow, she walked back to Elizabeth, Mama Mousekwitz, and her group. Todd followed suit, feeling nervous and guilty for accidentally humiliating Minnie, and then after jumping back into his cage, he quickly closed it. Then Momma Robotnik finally stormed up to Minnie in a fury and screamed her head off)

Momma Robotnik: (Angrily, throwing the teapot onto the ground) You are a disgrace! You may look like a bride, but you will never bring your family honor!

(Then with that, she stormed off back into her house. Feeling sorry for Minnie, who sadly hung her head in shame, Minnie's group, Elizabeth, and Mama Mousekwitz frowned angrily at Momma Robotnik's direction, and then patted Minnie's shoulders in comfort. Later, back at the Gibson residence at the stables, Minnie returned with her group and Cyril, still feeling sad and ashamed. Basil exited the rear door, giving a hopeful look that reads "Did it go well?" Noticing that, Minnie, still feeling sad and ashamed, gently ushered Cyril back to his stable with her group's help. As soon as they dropped Cyril off into the stable, Minnie's group exited the stables and then Minnie, upon looking at her reflection in the water trough, sang her heart out)

Minnie: Look at me

I will never pass for a perfect bride

Or a perfect daughter

(As she took her earrings and jade beaded necklace off, she then watched Elizabeth explain to Basil what happened, causing him to give a look of sympathy as he looked at Minnie. Then Minnie's group walked out to the garden entrance as Minnie removed Todd's cage and let Todd out)

Minnie: Can it be

That I'm not meant to play this part?

(Then Minnie left with her group into the garden as Todd followed her in calm silence and sympathy, feeling guilty for humiliating Minnie)

Minnie: Now I see

That if I were truly to be myself

I would break my family's heart

Who is that girl I see

Staring straight back at me?

Why is my reflection someone I don't know?

(Minnie's group watched Minnie go into the ancestor's temple shrine and she then bowed down to the shrine)

Minnie: Somehow I cannot hide

Who I am, though I've tried

When will my reflection show

Who I am inside?

(Then she used her dress' sleeve to wipe off all over makeup, cleaning her face off. Then she removed her comb and then fixed her smoothed hair back to its normal hairstyle)

Minnie: When will my reflection show

Who I am inside?

(As soon as she finished her song, she got up, walked out of the shrine, and sat on a nearby stone bench, rolled the rims of her sleeves up to her wrists. Joining her, Minnie's group spoke up reassuringly as Minnie began to gently fiddle with her dress' sleeves' rims)

Sally: Never mind what Momma Robotnik said about you.

Minnie's group except Sandy, Sally, Cosmo, and Amy: (Agreeing) Yeah!

Sandy: 'Cuz every little thing is gonna be alright.

Cosmo: Yes, she just doesn't even know your true self.

Amy: And if she won't see it, then she can just...!

(Suddenly, they noticed Basil approaching in sympathy. Minnie, after contemplating her group's comforting words, gave a soft smile)

Minnie: Sorry, Father, for letting you and our family down.

(Basil smiled softly in return. Then he seated next to her and they looked at the cherry blossom tree sitting near them with some of its branches over them)

Basil: It's fine. And look, what beautiful blossoms we have this year.

Minnie: (Agreeing) I'll say.

Mowgli: (Agreeing) And they're a sight to behold.

Pudge: (Agreeing) Yes, indeed.

(Even Minnie's group nods in agreement in calm happiness)

Fluttershy: May we hopefully have a good scent of cherries in the air.

Pinkie Pie: That's my favorite part.

Mane Seven except Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie: And mine.

Teresa: (Noticing a cherry blossom bud) Um, there's a bud right there.

(The others noticed as well with soft smiles)

Minnie: A little late for that, huh?

Basil: That's right. Yet, I bet when it will eventually bloom, it will be the most beautiful of all.

(He gently placed Minnie's comb over Minnie's right ear)

Basil: And I'm sure that you, Minnie, will bloom into a perfect beauty eventually.

(Feeling calmly confident, Minnie smiled softly)

Minnie: Thank you.

(Suddenly, they heard some drums beating from afar in their village, confusing them)

Mowgli: What's going on?

(Then they got up to go see what's up)

'Coming up: After Moe gives Basil a recruit prescription scroll to join the army to fight the Weasel Huns and even, under a soldier's silent urging, hiring Minnie’s group, except Minnie, to be the army nurses to accompany Basil. Then when Minnie and her group realize in concern and fear that Basil is too crippled and old to go to war, they soon decided to let Minnie take matters into her own hands for him, the Gibson Family, and their country, no matter the dangerous risk.'
