Alright, I hadn't seen this movie forever, and just the other day I watched it and it brought back a lot of memories. I decided I had to write a fanfic about it. So, be gentle because this is my first Great Mouse Detective fic. I hope you like it. Oh, by the way. This is a long time after their last case. I know it is narrated by Dr. Dawson, but it too hard to do it that way. Sorry.
It had been five years since ten year old Olivia. four years since eleven, now fifteen, year old Elizabeth, and four years since Sarah, Elizabeth's mother's, death.
Dr. Dawson walked in the room to find basil sitting in his chair playing his violin.
"Ah, hello Old Chap." Said Basil, putting the violin down and greeting the old mouse.
"Ah, hello Basil. Have you seen Elizabeth?" asked Dr. Dawson. a sudden look of worry crossed Basil's face.
"You haven't seen her?" asked Basil in shock. No sooner had he spoken, the door opened and the young mouse walked in.
"Liz!" said Basil, relieved that she was home and safe.
"Calm down, Dad. I went out to eat. Ever since your maid quit, there's never food around here, plus, you were out late and taking too long." She said.
"Ah yes, well next time a note would be nice." He said, trying to hold his temper.
"Alright, next time I'll write a note." She said, picking up his violin and beginning to play.
It had four years since her mother was murdered and she had been down in the dumps since. Basil felt guilty in a way. After Ratigan died, a new villian popped up. His name was Redeye. His left eye was red and he was a rat who wanted to be called a mouse all the time. He was the same exact of Ratigan and Basil could have sworn they had been brothers. four years ago, he figured out that Basil had a family. He was divorced, but they were still his family. Liz had been only eleven. Sarah had divorced Basil after a life threatening situation and left him, taking Liz with her. Afterwards, Redeye found then and kidnapped them both. He had left Liz for dead at some point in the case and had murdered Sarah while Basil and Liz could do nothing but watch. Basil swore to take care of Liz and never let the same thing happen.
His thoughts were broken by a knock on the door. He opened the door to a young lady crying in a tissue. He also noticed something familiar about her. it was her eyes and nose.
"Ah, hello young lady." He said, trying to welcome her.
"Oh Basil, it's just aweful. My father's been kidnapped again!" She said throwing herself into his arms. He was astonished and jumped back.
"Basil, don't you recognize me?" She said in astonishment. Dawson walked behind him just then.
"!" She said, rushing pass Basil and throwing herself into his arms.
'Who is this?' mouthed Basil. 'I don't know.' dawson mouthed back. She came out of the hug and looked around. She saw the violin sitting in the chair.
"Oh, I see you got a new violin after I broke the last one." She said, giggling. At that moment, Basil figured out who this was.
"Olivia! Is that you? God, it's been a while. How have you been?"
"Horrible. My father's been kidnapped again. This time though it was a different bat. It wasn't Fidget, this one had an eyepatch, though I don't know which eye, and a red scarf." She said. Everyone had no clue that Liz was still in the room.
"Ridget." she said. Olivia looked up.
"Oh, Basil who is that?" She asked, motioning to the other mouse.
"Oh, Liz meet Olivia. Olivia, meet my daughter Liz." He said, introducing them.
"Oh my god! There is so much resemblance." Said Olivia, looking them over.
"Who are you?" asked Liz curiously.
"I'm Olivia Flaversham, or flangerhanger, whatever works." She said. Basil cracked a smile. It'd been a while since he heard that one.
"Oh, I see and your father has gone missing, again did you say?" Said Liz.
"Yes. basil helped me recover him last time. He was kidnapped by Ratigan before. But, Ratigan is dead, though he does have a bat henchman just the same." Said Olivia.
"Olivia dear," stated Basil getting ready to break the news, "your father has been kidnapped by Ridget. He works for Redeye. He does the same things that Ratigan had done, but he's so much more murderous." He looked down in guilt for a moment, "He killed Liz's mother." He said. Olivia gasped. Liz stood completely still, almost as still as a statue.
"Liz dear?" said Basil. she came out of her trance.
"Dad, I miss her." She said. He hugged her. Than he realized she wanted to go. He didn't want her to go though. He couldn't bare it if anything was to happen to her.
"Dad, I'm going. I have unsettled buisness with that..." She trailed off.
"You most certainly am not." He said, grabbing her jacket away from her. It was the same detective coat he had. When she wore it, people said they looked so much alike.
"Dad, I'm going." she shouted.
"I said no!" He shouted.
"Why not!" She said.
"Because, I'm the father and your the child who obeys me because I gave you an order." He shouted.
"Oh fine, your hiness, maybe if I lock myself in my room for an eternity. Than you'll be satified!" She said, curtsying, than turning toward her room and walking away.
"That would make me the happiest mouse ever!" He shouted. She slammed the door. Olivia and Dawson looked at eachother.
"Come, we've not a moment to loose." He said, turning and heading for the door. They walked out.
"OOH, the nerve of that man!" She said, kicking the wall. a picture of her, her mother and Basil, obviously taken a long time ago, fell off the wall. She picked it a up and realized a crack in it. She looked out the window and saw Basil storming away with the other two following him.
She snuck out and grabbed her coat. She was about to walk out the door when she realized that Basil was upset the last time she didn't leave him a note when she left. She grabbed a piece of paper and a quil.
Dear Dad,
I'm sorry and I know this will make you even madder at me, but i went after Redeye. When I have him in cuffs, I'll come home and take any punishment you give me. I'm not a weakling. You should know that. I'm your daughter and can do anything you can do. I'll show you. I'll have Redeye behind bars soon.
Love lots,
Liz
She looked it over and walked out the door.
