Donald,

He doesn’t want to do this.

Sorry to rush off without sayin' goodbye, but there's big trouble brewin'.

The script is far from his normal neat handwriting, but he knows he has to leave before anyone finds out. Before he stops himself from leaving.

I hate to leave you all but I've gotta go check into it.

At that, he pauses a bit, tries to calm his mind down. He could follow Goofy and Donald. Or he could take one of them along with him. They are his soldiers. They are his friends.

He gulps for a moment, but in the end, his brow furrows into a frown and he continues to write.

There's someone with a "key"—the key to our survival. So I need you and Goofy to find him...

He is afraid. Deep down, he is scared, although he never shows it.

He is only human. He is also a king.

So go to Traverse Town and find Leon. He'll point you in the right direction.

He contemplates ending it there, but suddenly, his queen flashes in his mind’s eye.

And he scribbles the last sentence down, finishing it with a happy flourish, before he sweeps his cloak around himself and makes for the gummi garage.

He is only human. And he is also a king.

And duty holds important over all.

I am truly sorry, Minnie.

After technobubblegum pointed it out, it jumped out at me too ^^; (about Mickey not being a human) but otherwise I liked this :).
