It was just another fine morning in the Middle of Nowhere. Here we find Courage in the dining room with Gavin, who was teaching Courage how to balance a dog treat on his nose, before proceeding to eat it.

"You are one very smart doggy aren't you?" Asks Gavin, kneeling down to his height as he proceeds to scratch Courage behind the ears, when Gavin hears Gina call his name from the kitchen.

"Alright boy, that's enough for today. I'm gonna see what Gina needs. Why don't you go play somewhere else ok?" Gavin says to to Courage as he stands up and walks towards the kitchen, while Courage decides to head to the living room.

There Courage proceeds to head over to the sofa, but just as he was about to get comfortable, he suddenly hears someone knocking at the front door. Courage looks around to see if someone was going to answer. When he realizes that no one is around, Courage walks over to the door to answer it and sees that the person at the door happened to be Charlie the Mouse–his long time good friend–who greets him. Whenever Courage needed a delivery or someone to talk to, Charlie was the first person Courage turned to.

"Hey Mr. Mouse, what brings you here?" Asks Courage out of curiosity.

All Charlie replies to the pink dog was, "Well, since you asked, see, my home is being fumigated for pests, and I was wondering if I can stay here? Just until the pest is gone."

Courage only says to him, "Well you did help me out when I needed it, so I don't see why you can't stay here."

Entering the farmhouse, Charlie says to Courage, "Hey thanks pal, you're a life-saver.", as Courage closed the door and helped him get settled onto the purple sofa, just as Katy and Madeline enter the living room from upstairs to watch T.V, only to notice the giant mouse in the living room with Courage.

When Charlie then begins to notice them, Katy–with an uneasy feeling inside her stomach–quickly grabs Madeline by her arm and says "Uh Maddie, can I talk to you in private?" Dragging her into the dining room.

Once they were gone, Charlie turns to Courage and asks "Who the heck were those two?"

"Katy and Madeline. They're the farmer's granddaughters." Courage replies.

"Wait these kids got parents?" Asked Charlie.

"They plan on staying her for a little while." Courage explained before Charlie managed to understand.

Meanwhile, in another room, when Katy and Madeline were out of earshot from the two in the living room, Katy proceeded to ask her little sister "I'm not the only one who saw that, right?"

Only for Madeline to reply "Katy, there's a big, scary, whatever in the living room with Courage. I'm scared."

"Good to know I'm not alone on this." Katy says, before kneeling to Madeline's level.

"Listen to me Maddie, this might sound crazy, but there's no doubt that giant mouse in the living room, is with one of those people trying to sell us broken appliances or something" Katy says to her sister.

Madeline then asks "What do we do Katy?"

Katy standing back up says "I'll tell you what we'll do, we watch his every move and whatever stunt he pulls that looks like he wants to kill someone, we'll catch him red handed."

Madeline hearing this, proceeds to ask her older sister "Katy, what color is his hand now?"

For two whole days, as Courage was showing his good friend around the farmhouse, the girls were attempting to find any information they could on him, from spying on his conversation with their parents in the kitchen, to eavesdropping on him when he's taking a shower.

Unfortunately, despite all their efforts, in the end, they still ended up empty handed, it's as if he knew the girls were spying on him.

The next day, Katy was in the bathroom washing her face, when she heard a high pitched noise outside the bathroom door.

In the living room, we see the source of the noise turned out to be Madeline holding Courage in her arms and running from Charlie, who happened to chasing them all over the place before she went for the stairs. But as the two were about to approach the steps, Charlie grabbed Madeline by the waist, making her drop the pink dog before lifting her up toward the his face as he says "Gotcha kiddo, now you're it!" The three then proceeded to laugh together.

Katy at that moment, steps into the living room before she notices her little sister in Charlie's hands, as she cheerfully says "piggyback ride, piggyback ride!"

"You got it kid" Charlie says placing Madeline on his back, saying "Just hang on." as he proceeded to run around the room much to Katy's shock.

"Maddie, what the heck do you think you're doing?" Katy asks in a demanding tone.

Madeline, hugging Charlie's head says "Katy, come play with us! Charlie's actually really fun!"

Katy afterwards, was now in disbelief at what her little sister had just said before asking "Do you not see what he's trying to do? It's probably another one of his tricks." Unfortunately, neither Madeline nor Charlie heard her.

Madeline afterwards, still clinging to the mouse's neck asks Charlie "Can you be a bunny next please?"

Accepting the request, Charlie proceeds to hop around the room like a bunny, before entering into the living room. As he does, Katy proceeded to notice that the giant mouse dropped something in the process. It was Charlie's wallet, much to Katy's luck and Courage's surprise, as Katy proceeds to pick it up before opening it to find his ID in it. Seizing this opportunity in front of her, Katy takes out her cellphone with one hand, activating a map on it Katy looks back at the ID, typing in the address listed on it saying "Got you now creep." With that said Katy proceeds to run out the door, and follow the directions on her phone to locate where he lives, unknown to her of someone following her.

That afternoon, Katy arrived at a very simple one story house next to a hardware store in town. "So this is where he lives? Alright let's see who this mouse guy really is." Katy says to herself as she walks toward the building.

Being able to enter into the home surprisingly easy, Katy starts looking around the room for anything that she might consider worthy of getting a giant mouse locked up for good.

Suddenly she hears a noise that came in from a bedroom down the hall, so she decides to look into it. When she came to the room, she found the door cracked open, giving Katy a perfect idea to peek in and see what was inside so that she can have the right exact moment to catch it by surprise. So she carefully leans her face toward the door, only to find an empty bedroom inside leaving Katy puzzled she could have sworn she heard something in the room, before carefully opening the door and entering the bedroom to look around.

What caught her attention afterwards, was a mouse hole with a tiny door, Katy gets down to stand on her knees and look closely at it. But as she was looking, a voice from behind her asks "Hey, who let you in here?"

Turning around Katy finds the person who was talking to her happened to be a giant cockroach, blocking the doorway as she asks "Unless you work for the FBI, don't spy, you scum!"

Freaking out at what she is seeing, Katy backs into the wall as she worriedly says "Y-y-your a r-roach!" Before the creature slams the door behind him, saying "The names Schwick, sweetheart, JUST Schwick."

Back at the farmhouse, Gavin is in the kitchen putting a stuffed turkey into the oven when Madeline walks in and asks her father "Daddy, have you seen Courage or Katy? Charlie and I can't find them anywhere."

"You checked everywhere?" asks Gavin, to which Madeline nods yes to him as Gavin says 'Strange, maybe they're in the barn outside, try checking out there, ask your mother first." Disappointed, Madeline responds "yes daddy" before going to look for her mother.

All the while Charlie was searching in the living room and finds his wallet on the floor."Hey, how did this get out of my pocket?" he says out loud to himself before noticing his ID was sticking out of one of the pockets. Then his phone starts to ring.

He answers it as the other person begins to talk all he says is "sure thing!"

Back at Charlie's home, we find Katy gagged and tied to a chair as Schwick enters the room saying "I don't know how you came in here, but I know for sure you're never getting out!"

Removing the gag, Katy then asks "What are you gonna do with me?"

Schwick then proceeds to present her with the tiny door she was looking at earlier, asking "You see that door? You wanna know what's behind that door?"

"What?" was Katy's intelligent response.

In an impatient tone, Schwick simply answers, saying "You don't wanna know what's behind that door." Schwick then asks her "Why are you here?"

Katy only replies, by saying "As if I'm going to tell anything to smelly vermin like you!" spitting on Schwicks face.

This angered Schwick, as he says "Oh you shouldn't have done that kid. Now it's curtains for your pretty little face!" Running to the tiny door, Schwick then says "Nobody makes a fool out of Schwick!" But just as he was unlocking the tiny door and release whatever was inside it, there was a knock at the door, much to Schwick's annoyance, as he gags Katy once again, saying "I'll deal with you when I get back" before walking to the door.

Once Schwick answers it, we see Courage in a dress and blonde wig holding up a pie to him, as Schwick asks "Hey lady, are you new here, this is my place, JUST my place!"

Then, when he sees the pie, he asks the phony woman "Hey, is that custard pie?" To which Courage nods yes, only for Schwick to then demand "Let me have it!" Without hesitation, Courage splats Schwick' s face with the pie, unknown to the vermin that it was actually a pie tin filled with a sticky paste, commonly used in bug traps. Afterwards, Courage runs inside and manages to successfully find Katy before he proceeds to untie her from her restraints.

Katy afterwards, notices this as she says "Courage, how did you here?" Before he could answer, Courage picks her up and carries her out the door, when Courage sees Schwick still at the front door and managed to pull the pie tin off his face, before he sees the two in front of him.

"Hey I know you." says Schwick, pointing to Courage "You're the dog who double crossed me back in the big city! I should've known!" He slams the door behind him as he continues to approach the two and says "I thought I was in the clear after I tricked the rat who lived here into leaving, but it looks like I may need to take care of a few more!"

But just as he was about to do something to the two while Courage tries to distance himself and Katy from him, Schwick was abruptly interrupted by a knock at the door.

Opening it, Schwick finds Charlie standing right in front of him, as he says "I got a call telling me that there's someone here needed to be taken care of?" Cracking his knuckles afterwards.

"Call? What call?" Asks Schwick, before turning to Courage who proceeds to pull out a phone conveniently out of his fur, As it turned out, Courage was the one who called him for help much to the surprise of Katy, as well as Schwick's.

Suddenly, Charlie grabs the frightened Schwick and tosses him into one of the walls of the house, where the giant roach fell flat on his face. Charlie then goes on to say "I was also nice enough to bring in some old friends of yours." as policemen walk into the house toward Schwick.

"You didn't really think you could hide from us, did you Buschwick?" Asked the police chief who proceeded to lift the roach off the ground. As Schwick was being carried away, all he said to the cops was "It's Schwick, Schwick, JUST SCHWICK!"

Later in the streets of Nowhere, Courage along with Katy and Charlie, were walking back to the farm house.

As they do, Katy, with a look of guilt on her face, says to Charlie "Hey, I wanted to tell you I'm really sorry for all the stuff I thought about you. Now I know you're a really cool guy so... Can you forgive me?"

All Charlie says to her is "no prob" before Katy says "Anyways, thanks for saving us. I guess you're not such a bad guy after all."

It wasn't long before the trio find their way back to the farmhouse, where they are greeted by Madeline who proceeds to run up to them and give Katy a hug, saying "You guys came back!"

Then, as Katy releases herself from the hug, she, as well as Madeline and Courage notice Charlie leave, as Madeline a little sad then asks him "Charlie are you leaving?"

All Charlie says to them is "I got my home back now, I'll be seeing ya!" Leaving the kids and Courage to return back to the farmhouse.

When the enter the living room, they find Eustace sitting on the Couch watching T.V, but the major difference about him is that he was nothing but bones.

As it turned out, there was a creature that has lurked in the farmhouse while they were away, and had already eaten all of Eustace's skin and organs, although he can still move as proven when he looks at the kids asking "What are you all staring at?"

All the three of them could do was scream at the top of their lungs at the frightening image they had just seen. But just before I end the story, Katy interrupts only to say "Ok that is messed up!" Then Courage steps in to say "You got that right sister" leaving me to officially end it.
