One morning at Mickey's house, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy were watching their favorite TV show in the living room while Pluto was taking a nap.

The show had been on for almost two hours.

"Oh, change the channel already," said Donald.

"Uh, okay," said Mickey.

So Mickey grabbed the remote and changed the channel to a show for little kids.

Annoyed, Donald covered his ears and glared at Mickey.

"What?" said Mickey.

"That show's for little kids!" said Donald. "Don't you get it?"

"Yeah, well, I..." Mickey stammered nervously.

"You'll regret it!" said Donald.

The two started to argue.

Then, Goofy became hungry. "Uh, I'll be right back," he said. "I'm gonna go get some sandwiches."

So Goofy went to the kitchen to get some sandwiches wile Mickey and Donald continued to argue.

"Okay, fine!" said Mickey. "I'll change it."

With that, Mickey grabbed the remote and changed the channel to a scary movie, frightening him and Donald.

"I didn't mean, put on something scary!" said Donald.

"I couldn't find anything good," said Mickey.

Donald was annoyed. "Fine," he said. "I'll find something myself."

So Donald snatched the remote from Mickey's hand and put on the soccer game. "Now, that's better," he said.

Then, Goofy returned with some sandwiches. "All right, bon appétit," he said.

Mickey and Donald noticed that Goofy was about to step on some wires.

"Goofy, look out!" shouted Mickey.

"Huh?" said Goofy.

Mickey's warning came too late.

Goofy slipped on the wires, causing all the lights, including the television, to shut down.

Pluto woke up in shock and looked around the living room.

"What happened?" asked Donald.

"It seems like all the lights went out," said Mickey. "Meaning that there is no electricity."

Donald glared at Goofy. "Goofy, what did you do?" he asked him.

"Gawrsh," said Goofy. "I didn't mean to. It was an accident."

"That's okay, Goofy," said Mickey. "We'll figure out a way to fix this."

"What are we gonna do?" asked Goofy.

"We just need to get a new lightbulb and fix some wires," said Mickey.

"But where are we gonna get a new lightbulb?" asked Donald.

"I don't know where," said Mickey. "But I do know who. Follow me."

With that, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy walked out of the house.

Pluto watched as the trio left and went back to sleep.

Mickey, Donald, and Goofy went to Chip and Dale's treehouse.

Chip and Dale were still sleeping.

"Now what?" asked Donald.

"We need to wake up Chip and Dale," said Mickey.

"But how?" asked Goofy.

Donald thought about it. Then he had an idea. "I know!" he said. "Be right back."

With that, Donald ran back to Mickey's house. Then he returned with a horn.

"What are you gonna do with that, Donald?" asked Mickey.

"Watch this," Donald said as he held the horn in front of Chip and Dale.

Mickey and Goofy covered their ears as Donald blew the horn, causing Chip and Dale to wake up in shock.

"Who goes there?" asked Chip.

"It's just us," said Mickey.

"Oh, what a nice surprise," said Chip.

"It sure is," said Dale.

"Good morning, Mickey," said both Chip and Dale.

"Good morning to you, too, boys," said Mickey.

"What can we do for you?" asked Chip.

"Well, you see," said Mickey. "We had a little accident with the lights at my house. And now there's no electricity."

"Oh, that's a shame," said Chip.

"How can we help?" asked Dale.

"Well, do you guys have an extra lightbulb we could use?" asked Mickey.

"Um..." Chip said as he and Dale scratched the back of their heads.

Chip and Dale went back into their house to find a lightbulb, but they couldn't find any. Then they went back out.

"Sorry, guys," said Chip.

"We couldn't find any extra lightbulbs," said Dale.

"Ah, phooey!" said Donald.

"I mean, we do have a lightbulb in our house," said Chip.

"But we're already using it for our bedroom," said Dale.

"It's all right, fellas," said Mickey. "We'll find some other way to solve this problem."

"Okay," said Chip.

"See you," said the two chipmunks.

With that, Chip and Dale went back into their house.

"What do we do now?" asked Goofy.

"Don't worry," said Mickey. "We'll figure this out. We just need to think of someone else who might have an extra lightbulb."

"But who?" asked Goofy.

"Um, I'm not sure," said Mickey. "Any ideas, Donald?"

Donald thought about it. "Hmm, I know!" he said, getting an idea. "Let's ask my rich uncle."

"Good idea," said Mickey.

So the trio walked away from Chip and Dale's treehouse and went to Uncle Scrooge's house.

Donald knocked on the door. "Uncle Scrooge, are you in here?" he called out.

Then, Scrooge opened the door, surprised to see his nephew. "Well, if it isn't my favorite nephew," he said.

"It's sure good to see you, Scrooge," said Mickey.

"So, what can I do for..." started Scrooge.

Before Scrooge can say anything else, Huey, Dewey, and Louie ran towards Donald and tumbled onto him. "Uncle Donald!" they all shouted.

"Whoa!" exclaimed Donald.

"It's been so long!" said Huey.

"It's been weeks!" said Dewey.

"It's been forever!" said Louie.

"Yes, I know," said Donald. "Now, could you three get off of me?"

"Okay," said the duckling trio.

So Huey, Dewey, and Louie got off of Donald and stood beside Scrooge.

"Anyway, as I was asking," said Scrooge. "What..."

Then, Scrooge was interrupted again.

"Did you lose something?" asked Huey.

"Are you finding something?" asked Dewey.

"Are you looking for something?" asked Louie.

Scrooge was annoyed. "Would you three be quiet?" he said to Huey, Dewey, and Louie. "I'm trying to ask them a question."

"Sorry, Uncle Scrooge," said Huey, Dewey, and Louie, putting their hands behind their backs.

"Good," said Scrooge, turning back to Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. "Anyway, what can I do for you?"

"Well, you see," said Mickey. "We had a little accident with the lights at my house. And now there's no electricity."

"Oh, I see," said Scrooge. "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Sure," said Mickey. "Do you have an extra lightbulb we could use?"

"Let me go check," said Scrooge.

With that, Scrooge went back inside the house and looked through his box of supplies. Then he found a lightbulb in it. "Aha!" he said.

Then, Scrooge went back to the front door with the lightbulb. "Is this what you're asking for?" he asked Mickey, Donald, and Goofy.

"That's perfect!" said Mickey. "Thanks, Scrooge."

"Yeah," said Donald. "Thanks, Uncle."

"Anytime," said Scrooge.

"Well, then," said Goofy. "I guess we better be on our way."

"Do you need anything else before you leave?" asked Scrooge.

"No, thanks," said Mickey. "See you, Scrooge."

"Good luck, boys," said Scrooge.

So with that, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy walked away from Scrooge's house.

Huey, Dewey, and Louie waved goodbye to the trio. "Bye, Uncle Donald!" they called out to Donald.

"Bye, boys!" Donald called out.

Mickey, Donald, and Goofy walked back to Mickey's house.

"We're home, Pluto," Mickey said to Pluto.

Pluto woke up once again, happy to see Mickey and his two friends.0

The trio walked over to the broken lightbulb.

"All right, how do we fix this?" asked Donald.

"Well, first we need to take out that old lightbulb," said Mickey.

"But what about the wires?" asked Goofy.

"We'll deal with those later," said Mickey. "Right now, we need to deal with the lightbulb."

Mickey took out the lightbulb. "Goofy, hand me the lightbulb," he told Goofy.

"Got it, Mickey," said Goofy.

So Goofy handed Mickey the lightbulb.

"Donald, get the switch ready," Mickey told Donald.

"Okay," said Donald.

So Donald walked over to the switch. "What do I have to do with this?" he wondered.

"Hmm, I think you need to turn it on," said Goofy.

"How?" asked Donald.

"Just pull the switch," said Goofy.

"Oh, okay," said Donald.

Mickey saw that Donald was about to pull the switch. "Donald, wait!" he shouted. "Don't do it until I..."

But it was too late.

Donald pulled the switch down, causing Mickey to get electrocuted with his finger on the hole of where the lightbulb was supposed to go.

Mickey also dropped the lightbulb, which Donald and Goofy caught just in time.

Then, Donald and Goofy looked up at Mickey.

"Mickey, what are you doing?" asked Goofy, chuckling a bit.

Donald scoffed. "Don't be ridiculous," he said. "I'm sure he's just..."

Then, Donald touched Mickey's hand, causing himself to get electrocuted as well.

Goofy burst out laughing. "Oh, Donald," he said. "Now, you're doing the same thing that Mickey's doing. Here, let me..."

Then, Goofy touched Donald's hand, also getting electrocuted.

By now, the trio were all getting electrocuted. Their hands were connected to each other's, and their bodies were moving like dancing skeletons.

Pluto noticed what was going on. He didn't know how to react. Then he saw that the switch was pulled down, which was what was electrocuting the trio.

Sensing danger, Pluto walked over to the switch and pulled it up, causing the electrocution to stop.

The trio stopped skeleton dancing and fell to the floor, unconscious.

Pluto walked over to the trio and looked down at them. He then licked Mickey's face.

Mickey opened his eyes. "P-Pluto?" he said weakly.

Pluto wagged his tail, relieved that Mickey was okay.

Donald and Goofy opened their eyes as well.

"What happened?" asked Donald.

"I don't know," said Goofy.

The trio blinked several times. Then they got up.

"Thanks, Pluto," Mickey said to Pluto.

Pluto barked a "your welcome".

Mickey, Donald, and Goofy looked at the lightbulb hole.

"Now, how are we ever gonna get the lightbulb up there?" asked Goofy.

Mickey thought of an idea. "I know!" he said.

"What is it, Mickey?" asked Donald.

"We'll all work together to fix this," said Mickey.

"How exactly are we gonna do that?" asked Goofy.

"It's simple," said Mickey. "Donald, stand on Goofy's shoulders."

"Um, okay," said Donald.

So Donald climbed onto Goofy and stood on his shoulders, causing him to wobble.

"Be careful, Donald," said Goofy.

"Don't worry," said Donald. "I know what I'm doing."

"All right, Donald," said Mickey. "Now, I'm going to stand on your shoulders."

"Say what?" said Donald.

Then, Mickey climbed onto Donald and Goofy with the lightbulb and stood on Donald's shoulders.

"Hey, what's the big idea?" said Donald.

"We're doing this together, remember?"

"Oh, yeah," said Donald.

Then, Mickey reached for the lightbulb hole and placed the lightbulb in it. "Okay, Pluto," he said to Pluto. "You can pull the switch now."

So Pluto pulled the switch down, and all the lights went back on.

"Well, what do you know?" said Mickey. "It worked!"

Then, Donald saw that the television was on as well. "And look!" he said. "The television's back on!"

"Gee, I coulden't have done it without you guys," Mickey said to Donald and Goofy.

"Aw, shucks," said Goofy. "You shouldn't have. We're just glad you did."

Everyone laughed a bit.

"Now, what are we waiting for?" said Donald. "Let's watch some television!"

So Mickey and his friends all sat down on the couch and watched television for the rest of the morning.
