I had debated on a title for this story: Fidget and Olivia Get Lost or Adventure in the Mist. So CrystalMagi and teamdark2741 decided that Adventure in the Mist would make a good title and I'll go with that.

Now, those of you who have read the comic already have an idea where this is going.

On the same night the case of the Sideshow Sea Beast was cracked, Olivia Flaversham with her newfound friend, Fidget were sitting on top of Toby, their loyal canine companion, enjoying the rest of their caramel apples.

"How is that for our case, Fidget?" Olivia asked.

"Not bad," Fidget replied.

"Not so bad yourself for a bat." Though Olivia for the most part is unprejudiced, she had said this despite herself because he kidnapped her and her father. Luckily, they put it all behind them.

"Not so bad yourself for a mouse." The bat couldn't resist his comeback. He was proud to have her as a friend on any given day. What luck!

"How does it feel to be from you-know-who?" Olivia implied, referring to Ratigan, Fidget's former boss.

"Uh, very nice, actually," Fidget answered, smiling nervously. He had not anticipated in being asked such a disturbing question.

"Oh, good," she said, nodding.

"You're not just a little girl; you're a brave, smart, strong, confident, optimistic, selfless hero," Fidget pointed out with a happy gleam in his eye. "You're a natural, Livy." "Livy" was what Fidget often called Olivia.

"And so are you."

"You helped me see that there are brighter things for me in the future as you did Basil."

Olivia may have been gullible and naïve in the past, not knowing the full extent of the Flaversham case, she knew that there was light in the case as well as each case and love (mostly for her father). Her father depended on her as she depended on him. She couldn't sit by when things could go wrong for her father. Luckily, Dawson defended her like he'd done when he first found her crying in a boot. Not everything about solving mysteries as a private consulting detective like Basil of Baker Street has a dark side when there is also a light side for each one. One merely had to look. Luckily, Basil began to see that after the Flaversham case was over, realizing that he misunderstood her before. Even Dawson knew it all along as Olivia had. Basil was used to solving mysteries on his own until the doctor and the child helped him improve his social skills. The more Olivia contemplated this, it was all starting to make sense. She knew Fidget, despite everything they had been through, that he was right. They were both right. "Perhaps, you're right, Fidget," she said finally.

"Actually, Livy, we were right," Fidget corrected, making a standpoint by pointing up his index finger. Then his face fell into despair. "It was my fault that sea beast grabbed me. If I would've known he was real, I wouldn't be caught up in his act! I said so myself: Nothing's real but the caramel apples!" Somberly, he wept, covering his eyes.

Olivia crawled over to Fidget to comfort him. "No, Fidget, it wasn't your fault," Olivia assured him, "He was right behind us and I was there to protect you. Thus, you were brave enough to stand up to that monster because if you didn't, you would've ended up working for him – that would've been worse."

The sobbing bat stopped crying. "You're right," he sniffled, "I overreacted."

Olivia offered him a tissue. "Here you go."

Fidget blew his nose. "Thank you."

"It's my pleasure," Olivia replied.

"Livy?"

"Yes, Fidget?"

"I would like to thank you for saving my life. If there is anything I can do for you in return, I would gladly do so."

"That can wait on the next case. Speaking of which, do you enjoy solving cases with me?"

"Yes." Fidget yawned. "But I'm really tired."

"Yes, you've earned your rest as always after case." Olivia started to write a letter to Basil about the Sideshow Sea Beast mystery.

The exhausted bat crawled into a ball like a dog would, then reclined. "Goodnight, Livy."

"Goodnight, Fidget." And Fidget fell asleep, but little did Fidget know as he slept peacefully, that the weather started to grow cooler…and that the unexpected was bound to happen…
