Sorry about how the last chapter was a real downer. Just to be clear, these chapters are unrelated and in different realities. So in this one no one is dead. :)

Based on a real experience I had about a week and a half ago. It was at the same time terrifying and hilarious, and I'm surprised my dad didn't flip the car.

I don't own Ocean's 11.

The wind whistled through Danny's hair as the convertible sped along the deserted road. The sun beat down on his head as Rusty ate a strawberry-frosted doughnut (seriously, how did he just pull food out of nowhere? These were the type of questions that Linus pondered frequently). Linus enjoyed the view of seemingly endless fields surrounding them, the bright blue sky meeting the swaying grass. It was a beautiful day, and being with Danny and Rusty made Linus feel free (it also often made him feel like a child, or the butt of some great inside joke, but there were times like these, when it seemed the world was just for them.).

"Why do you think-"

"Probably because-"

"No, Harry isn't that-"

"Oh, Harry is that stupid."

"Well, he's pretty stupid, but not-"

"No, he is." Linus butted into Danny and Rusty's conversation (although it really couldn't be called a conversation) for the first time.

"Ha! You're outnumbered!" That was Danny.

"That doesn't mean-"

"But you are."

"I wouldn't exac-" Rusty was broken off by a shrill scream. It took Danny a few seconds to realize it was him.

"Holy shit!" Linus said from behind them in the back seat. A brownish mouse seemed to ooze out of the vents on the dashboard, its little nose twitching as it tried to wriggle its belly through.

"GETITOUTGETITOUTGETITOUTGETITOUTGETITOUT!" Danny yelled. Rusty didn't even swerve the car.

"Really? I think it's kind of cute." He said, the mouse scurrying down the center coffee holder. Rusty scooped it up, cradling it. "I think I might keep him as a pet. What do you think I should name him? Mister Tiddlewhiskers? I like that." Mister Tiddlewhiskers squeaked, his beady eyes filled with panic. Danny was too busy not jumping out of the moving car to comment on Rusty's naming abilities. Why wasn't Rusty doing something?! He was out of his mind! Rusty met Danny's terrified gaze, looking innocently impassive to Linus and silently offering support and friendly mockery to Danny, his eyes tinged with amusement and surprise. Danny, who had no reason to be terrified of the mouse, was barely stopping himself from throwing it over the side of the car! Linus wasn't doing much better either, swearing and tugging at the car door, which Rusty had so wisely locked after the mouse emerged. His only consolation was that Rusty was holding the mouse and looking quite calm. That is, he was looking quite calm until the second and third mouse squeezed themselves out of the vents, apparently having deemed the car safe enough to follow Mister Tiddlewhiskers.

One was gray, the other brown, and if Linus and Danny weren't freaking out at the first mouse, now they were really losing their heads. Rusty was still looking infuriatingly calm, grabbing the additional mice as well. Not only that, but he was still driving, moving his knees to steer the car to the side of the road, stopping it just as another mouse slithered out.

"Ah, fuck Harry Greens and his parking lot that was apparently infested with mice!" Linus yelled, bursting out of the car. Rusty snagged each mouse as it came from the vent, being bitten multiple times, the mice wriggling under his fingertips.

"Rus'!" Danny yelled, pausing outside the car. Rusty dropped the mice, their bodies slithering across his lap and onto the floor, and exited the car, looking to Linus like the picture of composure. And then he laughed, laughed, seeing Danny and Linus' petrified faces. Linus and Danny joined in, calling Reuben after a minute or two, explaining their situation and only occasionally cursing at Reuben for laughing too hard.

Rusty used the stolen money from Harry Greens to buy himself a new car.

Danny came up with the idea to ditch the mice in Harry Greens' car.

Linus laughed until he cried when he saw the security footage of Henry Greens finding the mice in his car. They had come from the floor vents that time, and had apparently scurried over the man's feet, causing him to jerk around and drive the car off the road.

Rusty kept Mister Tiddlewhiskers as a pet.

Danny took one look at the mouse on the couch next to Rusty and walked right back out the door.

Linus never visited Danny and Rusty's apartment again.

Thanks to starliam, for following this story! Also thanks for following me, I'm very flattered, but unless you like Hamilton, I would advise you to unfollow me because that is going to be the majority of what I publish. Again, thanks, and everybody should go read starliam's fics now!

I am going to be unavailable for the month of July, and won't be able to publish, but I'm not giving up on this! An update will probably come around mid-August.

Have a good day!
