It's really just a dabble I never finished, and probably never will. But, I found it the other day, thought it was cute and thought I'd share. smile.gif Hope you enjoy! Also, if anyone wants to pick up where I left off... be my guest! happy.gif

"What are you so happy about Pete?" MacGyver said as he sat in front of his best friend's desk. "You look like you're about to burst."

Pete gave him a lopsided smile. "Well, I'm going on a much needed vacation, far, far away."

"Oh yeah? Where to?"

"It's a surprise."

MacGyver raised an eyebrow, but the curiosity was killing him. "A surprise?"

"Yup!"

Pete was too happy, MacGyver thought. What does he have up his sleeve? He did a quick check of Pete's desk trying to find some clue as to this "surprise".

"A surprise for...?"

"You, Mac."

"Me?" MacGyver said, taken aback. "Who's gonna keep an eye on things...?”

"Got it covered, Mac."

MacGyver raised both eyebrows. The older man was cleaning his office in a mad flurry, obviously excited about whatever this 'surprise' was. Pete knew that MacGyver would eventually figure it, mostly likely before they even leave. But, MacGyver didn't believe that was the reason for his friend's silence. Probably because he knew that whatever this vacation surprise was, MacGyver wouldn't want to go.

"It's not Hawaii, is it?"

"No, Mac."

It wasn't uncommon for them to go on vacation together. For both men, it helped keep their bond strong. Pete was not just MacGyver's best friend and boss, but he was also a father figure. He looked up to Pete. He also knew that Pete felt the same about him, seeing him as a son.

"Look, Mac. I'll give you a hint, but you have to promise me that you'll go."

"Just curious, why the need to have me go?"

"Well, it's a place I had always wanted to take Micheal. Kind of a father/son bonding trip. But, you know how Micheal feels about me." There was a touch a hurt in the man's voice, then he perked up. "So, I'm taking you instead. It'll be fun."

MacGyver understood and knew that this was important to Pete. Whatever it was, he was willing to endure. Just as long as there were cute women in bikinis.

"Alright, alright. You win Pete. I promise, I'll go." He said, raising his hands up in defeat. "So what's the surprise?"

Pete smiled again, fishing in a drawer. Holding some kind of black item, he placed it on MacGyver's head. With a look of forced patience on his face, MacGyver looked at his friend, who chuckled at the funny angle and MacGyver's spiky hair stuck up around the Mickey Mouse ears.

"They look great on you." Pete laughed.

MacGyver sat there, as calm as could be, but Pete knew that he wasn't happy with this idea.

"Come on Pete. That place is overcrowded..."

"Mac..."

"...expensive..."

"Mac..."

"...not to mention, hot..."

"MacGyver!"

"What Pete?"

"Everything's already booked. We leave this weekend. And you promised."

"Alright, alright."

Pete smiled, patting him on the shoulder as he walked passed him. "You'll have fun, I promise."

Pete left MacGyver sitting in his office, staring out the window in defeat, the mouse ears still on his head. "Oh man..."

Haha! Lol, that was great and I thought it was incredibly adorable! biggrin.gif (hehe, picturing Mac in Mickey Mouse ears right now XD)

Good grief! Disneyland would be my ides of hell too blink.gif

What IS Pete thinking?!

Posted by: AussieMacFan 18 July 2013 - 11:13 PM
OMG! Thank you so much for those thoughts of Mac in the Mickey Mouse ears! That'd be so cute! wub.gif
This sounds great, I can't wait to read more! MacG.gif

Thanks guys! smile.gif

I was actually photoshopping Mickey Mouse ears on Mac, but haven't found the right picture yet. Gotta get the right one with that patient 'why me?' look. XD

I'm glad you all enjoyed it. I'll try to update it someday. happy.gif

Posted by: YopeGyver 19 July 2013 - 06:21 AM
LOL! I'd love to see that! laugh.gif Poor Mac!

Maybe it's a British thing, I dunno.
But mouse ears on anyone over about ten is just... Wrong!

I think I'm also feeling Mac's horror about the whole idea too, because it is well written and it's just the reaction I'd expect from him smile.gif

Posted by: Jediferret 20 July 2013 - 02:55 AM
I gotcha. I haven't been to Disney in YEARS. But, normally, everyone is wearing some kind of Disney character hat. It's like an ocean of funky hats really. LOL

I actually based Mac's reaction from people I know that have never been there. And since I've been to Disney World, people usually ask me what the hype is. All I can ever tell people is that it's the experience. You have to go to understand. So, Mac's horror will be short-lived. XD

You see, now you definitely have to finish it! harhar.gif

Posted by: Jediferret 20 July 2013 - 05:23 AM
LOL! I can certainly try to! smile.gif I would love to be able to continue this story. I already have a few ideas that I can explore. Mac's fear of heights is one of them. :3 BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Posted by: YopeGyver 20 July 2013 - 05:24 AM
Oh no! Poor Mac! XD Somebody get him away from, Jedi! roller.gif

Posted by: Jediferret 20 July 2013 - 05:32 AM
NEVAR!!! lol Don't worry, I won't hurt him... much. XD KIDDING! *looks innocent*

Posted by: Rocket 20 July 2013 - 09:15 AM
This is where we find out that Pete is secretly mad for all the really high up, scary rollercoasters, isn't it...? happy_dance.gif

Well, lets just say with Mac's fear of heights... ever heard of the http://youtu.be/GzffYeE6BjM at Disney World? nasty.gif

I'll be basing it off an actual experience I had when some friends of mine dragged me on one these types of rides many moons ago. Heh...

Captain, I am detecting vast quantities of WIN in this sector! happy_dance.gif

You see, as much as the idea of Mac at Disneyland makes me cringe on his behalf, I am curious as to what you're going to do with him there...

Rescuing someone from a malfunctioning high up ride?
Vanquishing a ride saboteur/Disneyland bomber?
Besting an organised crime gang who are using Disneyland as a cover for their nefarious practices?
Something better?

Enquiring minds want to know! biggrin.gif

Well, I haven't been able to write anything because we've had some issues after the move (I may be relocating to Minnesota! - yay!) so we're kinda stuck in limbo at the moment. But I have a few ideas, but I don't want to spoil it by giving out too much.

One is Indiana Jones, another is Tower of Terror... and my only other idea is so top secret that if I let the cat out of the bag, I could end up being his next tar.... O_o! Oops, almost let it slip. haha! smile.gif

Posted by: Rocket 10 October 2013 - 01:36 PM
So did Mac escape his dreadful Disneyland fate, or did Pete manage to stuff him on the 'plane and get him there?

Has he managed to ditch the mouse ears?

Enquiring minds want to know!

Posted by: Jediferret 10 October 2013 - 06:15 PM
Oh don't worry... just stay tuned. I have the outline done and the rough draft started. happy.gif

So, I have some good news. My sister has agreed to write Part 2 with me. She's not only a fellow Mac fan, but she's also very creative. She's also got a twisted sense of humor like I do. XD We usually make a good writing team, so this will be like old times for us. happy.gif

And I found something I think you guys will get a kick out of. Let's just say, nice mustache, RDA. LOL

Yay! Hehe, twisted humor is the best. X3

Oh NO! Mac what did you do to Pete!? Lol, I really laughed aloud at that pic. My my my, Mac and Mickey. Hmm...he's smiling. Must not've been too bad a "vacation".

Posted by: Rocket 18 February 2014 - 02:34 PM
Sooo...

Has Mac managed to ditch the ears yet?
I do believe we left him contemplating his dreadful Disneyland fate and white knuckling it in anticipation of rollercoaster based mayhem...?

Nudge, nudge...

Posted by: Jediferret 19 February 2014 - 09:23 AM
You'll have to forgive me, I've been coping with real life these past few months. I have started the story though. They're currently on their way to Disney property. Mac doesn't have mouse ears on his head, but there's always room for that later... heehee

My sister comes over tomorrow, so I'll see if she's got any brilliant ideas. happy.gif No worries, I haven't forgotten or anything. smile.gif

Posted by: Elizabeth MacGyver 22 May 2015 - 02:40 PM
Lol love it!

Nudge... biggrin.gif

Posted by: Jediferret 26 May 2015 - 07:45 AM
LOL! Okay, okay. I'll see if I can work on it this week. I've been meaning to give it another go, but just hadn't had the time, or the inspiration. Thanks for the support guys. happy.gif

Posted by: denizen 26 May 2015 - 11:26 PM
You can do it Jedi! smile.gif

We are all waiting patiently. whistle.gif

Posted by: Kristelle 28 May 2015 - 10:46 PM
well!! You know how to warm up your public Jedi! notworthy.gif Publish half a side and let us wait for WEEKS?! Soon we all look like that: w00t.gif

I'm still working on it. lol I've had to rewrite a couple of times because I made MacGyver too... cranky. lol That's my bad... anyway, here's a snippet.

“It’s a small world after all, Pete.”
“Now don’t start singing, or you’ll drive yourself nuts.”
MacGyver smiled.
“So what are you gonna do first?” Pete asked his friend.
“Probably changed into my swim trucks and fall asleep next to the pool.”
“Don’t forget your sunblock… remember what happened the last time you did that?”
There was an emphasis on the world “last” that was unmistakable. “I remember Pete.”
“You had that awful sunburn. You peeled for weeks!” Pete chuckled again. “I also remember Jack wouldn’t stop calling you Lobster Boy because you were so red.”

Very cool, Jedi! thumbsup.gif

Posted by: Dragondog 24 March 2018 - 05:56 PM
So, do you have any more, by any chance? whistle.gif

Posted by: Jediferret 25 March 2018 - 04:52 AM
I do not... sorry. >_< I have an idea in my head, but unfortunately, finding time and inspiration to write can be difficult sometimes. I would love to go back to this one day.

Well, if you ever do write more, I'll definitely read it! I want to see Mac suffer! nasty.gif (Preferably at the Tower of Terror, but that's up to you).

Lol I love that back and forth of Mac trying to get out of it. Considering the way things go whenever they go on vacation, A Mickey mouse or some other Disney character cosplay employee will probably try to kill them. Haha
