It was a frightening night in old London. A mob of Ratigan's mice was trying to break down the bat family's house.

"What's out there, Mommy?" a little bat called Flappy asked.

"It's a mob, sweetie," the mother bat said, kissing her son on the cheek as she held him. "Eve, check to see what the mob is trying to do."

"Yes, Mother!" Eve, Flappy's older sister replied and stared out the window. She was shown to be very loyal to her family.

"What are they doing?" her father asked her.

"Looks like they're trying to break down the door, Father."

"We must leave this house immediately!" her father said.

"But Daddy…" Flappy whined.

"Trust me, son," the father bat interrupted, "It'll be alright. Your sister will think of something."

Eve broke the window with a baseball bat. "Let's go!" And her family followed her out the window.

By the time the mob broke the door down, the bat family was gone.

"Where did they go?" one member of the mob asked.

The other one shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, beats me."

"Onward men!" the evil mouse leader said. It was the ruthless Professor Ratigan.

"Yeah!" they shouted and on they went to catch up with the bat family.

"While we're at it, I may find myself another henchman that will be of some use to me," Ratigan thought with an evil gleam in his eye. "He ought to be as good as Fidget."

"Mommy! Daddy! Who's the leader of the mob?" Flappy asked.

"Shh…Ratigan," his mother answered. "He's the evil leader of the mice and may be out to find a henchman if one can't keep up."

Just then, Eve tripped.

"Eve!" Flappy cried.

"Don't worry, Flappy, I'll catch up!" Eve said, regaining consciousness and blacked out again.

"Eve!" her mother called.

Eve opened her eyes to find herself nabbed by one of Ratigan's henchmice. "There you are, girly," he said.

She bit him in the arm. "Ow!" he yelped.

Just as she was about to reach her brother and parents, she saw her path catch fire. She gasped and coughed, yet flew up in the air to see her family disappear. "Flappy. Mother. Father." The fire was rising up right before her eyes.

Suddenly, a scrawny peg legged bat about her size saved her. "Gotcha, girlie!"

"Eww! What're doing? Get your hands off me!" Eve demanded.

"Sorry," the young male bat apologized. "What's your name?"

"Eve."

"Pretty name. My name's Fidget."

"Pleasure to meet you, Fidget," she said as Fidget helped her up. "Thanks for saving me."

"Nah, don't mention it," Fidget said with a smile.

"I was about to catch up with my family. Then this fire rose and…are you part of the mob?" Her hands were on her hips.

Fidget gave her an embarrassed look. "Uh, I did nothing."

"You're part of all this!" Eve accused. "You wanted to destroy me and my family!"

"It was the mice mob. I wanted to help you all, but I thought none of you could trust me and I'd get caught by Ratigan, my boss for doing it."

"You work for that rat, too?" Eve's teeth were clenched like razorblades.

"Shh…shh…" Fidget hissed.

"Excuse me?"

"He doesn't like to be called for what he truly is. If you do call him that, he'll feed you to his cat, Felicia."

"Yeah right and you don't care?" Her sarcastic remark and resentful face grew closer to Fidget's.

"I…I do," Fidget stuttered, unable to take being yelled at.

"How could I trust you?" was the last question Eve had to ask.

"You seem nice and uncapable of letting anyone get to you. So maybe we can get to know each other more."

"Well, well, well," the rat's voice echoed in the streets, his shadow luminating in the darkness. "Look who dropped by." Ratigan rising from the shadows, took a look at the girl bat. "Lovely choice, Fidget. You found a girl. She'd be of some use to us."

But Fidget kept his promise on learning more about his new friend, Eve.

…

Fidget showed Eve to his room, which had another bed. "Eve, this is our room." He presented her a bed with a dark purple blanket and lavender pillow. "The dark purple blanket matches your eyes and this pillow matches your dress." He put his finger underneath her chin. "Trust me, we're going to be great friends. We'll run away together or something."

"Can't we just fly?" Eve asked thoughtfully. "I can take you. I can fly." Despite the fire and how rough the gang handled her, she was still able to fly.

"I can't," Fidget sighed.

"Why not?"

"Because I broke it by accident when I was a kid."

"How long does it take for it to heal?"

"For a while, but if I can't handle the wait any longer, I can go to a doctor…" Fidget replied.

"And have them fix it?" Eve finished.

"Yes," Fidget nodded. "As soon as we could get out of you know who's clutches."

Ratigan came by Fidget's room. "Fidget, how's your talk with the girl bat?"

"Very swell, boss."

"Your bat is very accommodating, Professor," Eve said.

Ratigan grinned wryly, then glared at the two and said, "Keep it quiet!" He slammed the door when he left.

Now that the bats were alone, they whispered.

"Eve," Fidget hissed.

"Yes, Fidget?" Eve whispered back.

"I would like to know your family someday."

"You'll love them, especially my little brother, Flappy. He's really sweet and adorable."

Those words touched Fidget's heart, remembering what he was like when he was a child. He started to lie down in his bed and Eve began to lie down in hers. "Night, Eve."

"Night, Fidget."
