"Do you see anything, Thyme?" asked Piknim, looking into the infirmary closet. There was no answer. "Stop fooling, or I'm coming in there after you! One, Two.THREE!" Piknim stepped into the closet and looked around. She had found Thyme, but they definitely were not in the closet anymore. "Where are we, and what are those?" asked Piknim hoping that her friend could inform her. "I haven't a clue, but they are strange.



Suddenly one of the strange creatures them. "Are you the two from Redwall?" it said. "I-I think so." mumbled Piknim the first to recover her voice after the scare that the creature had given them. "Good, then come with me. I'll let Dr. Small answer any questions that you may have. Now hurry along!"

They walked through the corridors. Piknim and Thyme looked around with curiosity. Then they walked past some of the staff. Instantly there were screams of "BIG MICE!" and "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!", but the trio just giggled. "Perhaps we had better hurry up to the Dr.'s lab. It's not every day that the staff sees a pair of 4ft mice wearing habbits! By the way, my name is Melia, what are yours? "I'm Piknim, and she's Thyme." Said one of the mice, pointing to her friend. "I'm pleased to meet you," said Melia. "But I'm sure that Dr. Small will be even more pleased," she added with a secret smile. They hurried into a large room and another of the creatures came towards them. He adjusted his glasses and took a closer look, as if hoping that his eyes did not deceive him. "It worked! I did it! Oh, joy!" he screamed.
