I DO NOT OWN "The Great Mouse Detective" but I DO OWN my OC characters. Also this has nothing to do with my other GMD fanfiction "Never Met One Like You" so now...enjoy!
chapter one
In a two story home I sit in my favorite brown recliner going through Netflixs when my sister comes through the door, waving as her blue eyes shine at me and tossing her blonde hair back. She bounces into the recliner next to me and smiles.
"Hey Birthday girl!"
"Hey and please, tomorrow is my birthday."
"I know, aren't you excited?"
"I guess, no big deal though. I'm only turning twenty-six."
"But you love it when it's your birthday."
"Not when im four years away from being thirty and life's boring."
"Boring? but you have a great life. Husband, daughter, job, a car finally.
What more do you want?"
"A little adventure."
"You just need a vacation. All those late hours on that computer with paper work is stressing you out."
"Vacation yes, but the work isn't stressful. I'm just bored. I want a break"
"Why didn't you say so, I can take the kid for a while you know that."
I just sighed at my sister as I'm skimming through. It's not like I don't love my life, I guess as I get older I want excitement. Though I'm sure a lot of people feel the way i do...usually in their late forties to early fifties. Me? well i suppose if you had a childhood unlike mine then it's normal to have a midlife crisis at that age while I seem to be having one before im thirty.
I can see my sister looking at me as I flip through till i see something i was shocked to see, that which brought me so much joy.
"Oh my god! The Great Mouse Detective is on Netflixs. YAY!"
"Now there's the sister I know and love. You were so obsessed with that movie Kate."
"No I wasn't Molly. I just simply loved it."
"Yeah and Basil."
"Shut it."
"Oh Basil! You are so handsome and smart. I want all your babies!"
"Shut...up...Molly."
"Oh wait does Jay know about this? maybe he can throw a british accent around now and then."
"Shut up or you can't come over tomorrow."
"Oh fine, go and play it. I know you want to."
I smiled as I win and I push the play button on my husbands x-box controller and started the movie.
I felt like a child again, watching the movie I was amazed i still remember all the lines and although she exaggerated a bit, it wasn't a lie. I love the movie...and Basil. At least when I was small, when I lost our mom I only had my aunt and sister. Though they're great I still felt alone and relying on my imagination to get me through it, i ended up wondering what it would be like to go on those adventures with them and having olivia as a friend sometimes. Though that stopped as I had to grow up and take care of my sister and help my aunt.
When the movie was over my sister told me she had a surprise for me. I closed my eyes and when I opened them on a small plate was a chocolate cupcake with a lit candle on top.
"It's a double chocolate cupcake with strawberry filling. Happy Birthday!"
"Thanks sis, thought tomorrow is my birthday."
"So, this is between us and our sister magic!"
"You still believe in that?"
"Of course, it's what keeps me going. Try it! Hold my hand and we'll say the spell mom taught us and then blow out the candle."
I rolled my eyes, but I always humored my sister. I guess I still believe in magic, even when it didn't bring me our mother back after wishing on stars birthday candles and wish bones. I grabbed my sister's hand and chanted with her.
"Sisters two
true and blue
please grant this wish tonight
after blown out this candle burning bright
we together be one
so let it be done"
"Okay sis, make a wish!"
I closed my eyes and though i knew it couldn't be possible. I wished that for when I was ready to go home, to take me away to the world I loved as a child and still do. I blew out my candle and that was it.
"Okay, now to wait and see in the morning for it to come true."
"You know, it may not happen Molly."
"Don't say that. Our wishes always come true."
Then where's mom.
"Well anyway enjoy your cupcake and I will see you tomorrow birthday girl."
"Alright, thanks sis."
I watched as she skipped out with her happy demenier. Luckily i was alone as I hit the replay button and watched the movie again, this time while I enjoy the dessert she gave me.
I probably watched it two more times; one when my husband and daughter came home so we could watch it together. She wanted to watch it again and I was more then willing to oblige her, but it was bed time and he had to go to bed because work in the morning. So i watched it one more time even though, I should go to bed, but my stomach was acting up and that told me otherwise. During the movie I had been thinking how exciting it would be as well as Tumblr fandom of the movie would say about certain things and characters. Shows what kind of life I live if my most exiting night is Tumblr, Facebook and Netflixs.
It was coming towards the end when i felt my eye lids getting heavy. My stomach still wasn't feeling well and I didn't want to go to bed, but as the credits were starting to roll was when I felt my eyes completely shut and I dozed off to sleep. Knowing that the last thought I had was how odd it seemed that my sister would bring up such a childish thing as that spell. It didn't work all the times I wanted mom alive and it I doubt it works now, but if it did...even for one day it defiantly wouldn't be boring that's for sure.
When I started to wake up I was a little confused at first. I was lying down when I know I fell asleep in my recliner. Oh I hope i didn't fall out in my sleep. My stomach was still nauses as ever and wondered what was in that cupcake she gave me. I didn't think to go look at the container to see if it had that artificial sweetener that health store she likes to go to had any of it in that cupcake. Knowing her luck it did and that's why I'm so sick.
I start to push myself up to find im not on any carpet that I own, something that feels like cardboard. I sit up and look around to find myself in a box.
"A box? that's...not right. Where am I?"
I start to rub my eyes when I notice something furry on my hands. I looked down to realize it was my hands and started to panic.
"Okay Kate calm down. Certainly this is a hallucination of some kind...yeah somehow Molly must have accidently bought one of those drugged cupcakes people will sell near by that store and say they're from there. Oh just like her not to listen to me...or maybe this is a dream. I'll just pinch myself."
I did and it did hurt, but nothing. I even pulled on the fur and yeah it was real and it hurt. I go outside of the box and saw that it's raining and only my luck is that I'm to be wearing my white and blue pajama set.
I find a puddle near by and go over to look into the reflection and looking back at me was a female looking mouse with medium brown hair and chocolate brown eyes, the bangs shaping the sides of the face and wearing...the same pajamas as me, realizing now that I was looking at myself.
"I'm a mouse! but how can this be? There's got to be some kind of logic to this. Think girl think!. I fell asleep in my recliner in my home with the tv on. I'm pretty sure I fell asleep with the credits rolling for... wait! this can't be? I gotta be dreaming."
I went more into the sidewalk area, careful where I ran as I got to a corner and saw one of the street names: Baker Street.
"You got to be kidding me! am I honestly here? in this world?"
I had tried to think back to all of mom's lessons about this kind of thing, but fate would have it if I didn't slip on that puddle and land against the street pole, knocking myself out.
