Dedicated to CrystalMagi and Chumley12 (also known as judygumm). I'm aware that CrystalMagi isn't a GMD fan, but she could see why I'm a fan of it. Anyway, on with the story.
One day, Toby took Basil, Dawson, Fidget, Olivia, and her father to the circus to see animals perform. At the sight of a long-eared baby elephant flying with a mouse on his hat, everyone cheered.
After the performance, Mr. Flaversham told Fidget and Olivia to go play while he, Basil, and Dawson take care of Toby. Fidget and Olivia agreed and bumped into a baby elephant– the same one they watched at the circus. The mouse who often rode on the elephant's hat hopped off.
"Hey, kids," the circus mouse said cheerfully, "I'm Timothy."
"I'm Olivia and this is my friend, Fidget," Olivia said.
"Hi," said Fidget as he waved.
"Meet Dumbo," Timothy told them, gesturing towards the baby elephant, who tipped his hat to greet them.
Fidget and Olivia gasped, thinking how cruel the name was.
"It's alright, kids," Timothy assured them, "It's just his name. Not everyone named him that to be cruel. His aunts picked it for him and did it to make fun of him, but I showed them."
The kids waved back at Dumbo.
"Ratigan was a lot like them," Fidget sighed, "But I showed him…"
"And Basil stopped him," Olivia finished. She admitted that Basil was unwelcoming until she warmed his heart like Dawson had.
"That Basil seems like a character," Timothy mused. "Here, how about a feather?" He pulled out a crow feather he had hidden his pocket and used it to tickle the youngsters. He also tickled Dumbo and hopped on the elephant. "Do you want to go for a fly?" asked Timothy.
"Yeah!" Fidget and Olivia shouted and Fidget flew Olivia up to Dumbo's hat. Then they were off into the sky.
…
In the sky, Dumbo, Timothy, Olivia, and Fidget could see the circus from up high. Jim Crow and his brothers joined in the flight. "Hello, Timothy!" Jim Crow greeted.
"Why, hello, Jim Crow!" Timothy greeted back, "How are you brothers?"
"Fine, fine!" Jim Crow replied.
"Yeah, we're fine!" Jim Crow's brothers said in unison.
"Hello, Mr. Crow!" Olivia shouted as she waved.
"Hi, Jim Crow!" Fidget exclaimed as he did the same.
"These are our friends, Olivia and Fidget," Timothy said.
"Nice to meet you, Fidget and Olivia!" Jim Crow said. "How are you?"
"We're good!" Fidget told him and the rest of the time, they flew until they reached land, back to the circus.
In the circus, Basil and the others bought each other food and candy, especially for Olivia and Fidget.
"Daddy! Mr. Basil! Dr. Dawson! Up here!" Olivia cried.
"Olivia, are you and Fidget having fun?" Mr. Flaversham asked.
"Yes, father!"
Dumbo landed gracefully on the ground and let off his three riders.
"I'm Timothy and this is Dumbo," Timothy said.
"Pleasure to meet you, Timothy," Basil said, shaking his hand. "I'm Basil." He gestured to Toby. "And this is our dog, Toby."
Toby barked.
"Pleasure to meet you," said Dawson as he shook the circus mouse's hand. "I'm Dr. Dawson, Basil's associate."
"I'm Hiram Flaversham, Olivia's father," Mr. Flaversham said, doing the same thing Basil and Dawson were doing. "I'd like to thank you for giving Fidget and my daughter, Olivia a ride." Mr. Flaversham handed Fidget and Olivia their food and candy.
"We had loads of fun," Fidget said and started eating his foot and candy.
Olivia began eating hers. "Thanks, father."
"We couldn't let you two grow hungry," Mr. Flaversham assured them.
"Would you like to see Dumbo's mother, Jumbo?" Timothy inquired.
Everyone nodded and Timothy led them to Mrs. Jumbo. "Jumbo, meet my friends." Timothy took a bow.
Mrs. Jumbo gasped in awe. "Oh, my! How wonderful!" she said and hugged her son with her trunk.
"I gave Fidget and Olivia a ride on Dumbo, Mrs. Jumbo," Timothy told her. "And they seemed to have a great time."
Mrs. Jumbo set down her trunk, allowing Basil and co to touch it. It felt nice and warm.
That day, they played with Dumbo, Timothy, and Mrs. Jumbo until it was time for Basil and co to return back to London. Every one of them had a great time.
The End
Author's notes: Hope you enjoyed, especially CrystalMagi and Chumley12 (also known as judygumm). I thought Dumbo and The Great Mouse Detective would make a good crossover.
