Nellie: Hi! Well, first off I want to thank ClarkKentfan 49 for reviewing. Basil is a bit of a hunk... for a mouse. Anyways, enjoy! You'll see a certain bat in this chapter.

Chapter 2: Searching the house

Everybodies reaction to this was varied. Especially Jade's, who was furious, and near to blowing her gasket as Beck tried to calm her down. Robbie was feeling uncomfortable, because Rex was still big, and it made him feel small... and he was. Andre stood in shock. Cat, however, was amazed at the sudden feeling small.

"Wow..." the red head giggled. "We're all so tiny now... just like mice."

Tori was shocked. How did this happen? How did they get so small? What happened? "Guys... we have to find out what happened? But first, we have to find Trina."

As if on cue, Trina, who had also shrunken, came down the stairs. It took her a while, due to being so small now. "I am freaking out now. Totally freaking out!" She exclaimed. "What had happened? Seriously! What had happened?! I'm tiny!" She came over to the couch, and gasped. "And you guys are tiny too! This is totally weird! Although I don't mind losing some pounds..."

"Everyone, please don't panic." Tori tried to reassure everyone.

"How can we not panic, Vega?!" Jade retorted. "We are small as mice, and we don't know what happened."

"Exactly. We need to find out. We need to get to the bottom of this... literally."

What Tori meant was, that they all needed to get off the couch. Everybody understood, and agreed. "Okay, but how will we get off?" Andre asked.

"You guys might have to jump down. I'll be willing to catch you all." Trina suggested.

Tori, with no hesitation, positioned herself at the edge of the couch. Trina had her arms stretched out for her. On the count of three, Tori jumped, and Trina caught her. "Good jump, baby sis." Trina complimented. "Thanks, Trina." Tori replied. "Who wants to be caught next?"

"I do! I do!" Cat volunteered, getting ready to jump. Trina walked over to where Cat was and stretched her arms out. "Ready, Cat?" she asked for reassurance.

"K K!" was all Cat said before jumping. She almost missed Trina, but was safe.

Beck decided to jump down by himself, and have his arms stretched out for Jade. "Don't worry, babe. I'll catch you." he assured her. Jade hesitated a bit, but jumped. As she expected, she landed safely in Beck's arms. They shared a small kiss, before Beck set his girlfriend down.

Andre and Robbie jumped down next, without any assistance. Now, the group were standing on the floor. Everything seemed big to them now that they were small. They decided to look around for a while.

"You know guys..." Tori spoke up after a few minutes of silence. "This is a mystery... a big mystery."

"I agree, and we have to solve it." Trina added.

"I know what we can do... we can be detectives... like Basil of Baker Street." Cat suggested.

"How are we going to do that? We're not mice." Jade asked.

"But we're small like mice. Maybe if we look around the house for clues, we might find something that could help us."

To everybody else, this was a strange suggestion from Cat. To be just like a mouse detective from an animated movie? It's not like the detective would pop up somewhere in the house. As strange as this sound, it might not be a bad idea. Now hopefully they wouldn't have to talk in English accents. "Okay, Cat. We'll be detective, just like Basil." Tori finally said.

Cat cheered. "Yay! Now, if we're going to be like Basil, we have to talk like Basil..."

"NO!" Jade shouted, indicating that she didn't want to talk in a English accent. Cat pouted a bit. "Poo. Oh well, we're still going to be like him right?"

Everybody nodded their heads. Cat beamed. "Great! Now, where should we start looking?"

"I think we should all split up. Guys with guys, and girls with girls." Beck suggested. As much as Jade wanted to stay with Beck, she agreed with him. "It doesn't sound like a bad idea. But we have to stay close with our groups with we are going to separate."

"Great! The boys can look upstairs, and we can look downstairs." Cat announced. Soon, the gang split. It took the boys a while to get upstairs, but they made it. The girls looked around downstairs. They were amazed at how things looked so big now that they were small. The girls made it to the kitchen, walking under the table.

As they walked around, Trina came across a rat trap. She sighed. "It looks like we haven't caught the rat yet."

"Rat?" Jade and Cat asked in unison.

Tori nodded. "Yeah, last week my mom found a rat in the house, and we're trying to catch it. No luck so far." Jade groaned. "Really? You've invited us in you rat infested home tonight?" Tori glared at Jade. "Did you just called my home... rat infested.

"Yes, if you have a rat in you're home, then it's infested." Jade simply said.

"Guys, we're not here to talk about rats. You're grossing me out. We're to find out why we've all shrunken." Trina said, trying to keep her sister from arguing with the goth girl.

Cat, who was paying no attention to their conversation, walked over to the patio door. It was still raining, but lighter now. As the red head got closer to the door, she saw she did not expect to see. Standing in front of her, was a bat (not a baseball bat) who had a crippled wing, and a peg leg. The bat grinned at her, baring its fangs.

Cat screamed, and so did the bat. She back away from the door, and then started running. The bat ran the opposite direction. "Bat! Bat! Bat!" Cat exclaimed as she ran over to the other girls.

"Whoa! What's wrong?" Jade asked as Cat hid behind her. "I..." Cat started. "I saw a bat. It was a dark color, it had a peg leg, and a hat. I think his wing was crippled!" Tori looked at Cat in confusion, until she realized how Cat described the bat. "Hey. That way you described that bat, sounds just like Fidget from the movie.

"You're right, Tori. It does sound like Fidget." Trina agreed.

"Oh come on. It couldn't have been him you saw." Jade retorted. "Besides, I don't see a bat now."

"But there was a bat over by the patio door." Cat defended. "And it had a peg leg. I know it did." Jade put her arm around Cat's shoulder. "Don't worry, Kitty. You must have been seeing things. But if there is a bat, I'll get him for you." she assured her red headed best friend.

Cat smiled. "Thanks, Jadey. But really, there was a bat."

Jade just rolled her eyes, and the girls continued walking around the kitchen. They searched all around, but found nothing that could help them. After a while, they decided to rest a bit. "Well so far we've found... NOTHING!" Jade exclaimed. "I knew this whole detective thing was stupid." Cat looked offended. "But I know if we're like detectives, I know we can find something. You just got to believe in yourselves."

Trina had looked back at where the rat trap was, and did a double take. "Um... where's the rat trap?"

Tori looked over there, and also saw the empty area in the corner where the rat trap should be. "Wasn't it there ten minutes ago?" Trina nodded. "Yeah, and now it's gone."

"Well, it couldn't have just got up and walked away." Jade said sarcastically.

As Jade said that, a creature was hiding in another corner, snickered evilly to itself.

"Oh yes." The creature whispered slyly. "But little do you girls know, that intended to use that trap for a plan... and you girls are apart of it."

Nellie: DUN, DUN, DUN! It looks like someone is after the girls, but who? Yes, I'm sure you guys knew who that bat that Cat saw was. What do you think is going to happen next? Tell me your predictions in a review, please. Well, that's another chapter for today. I hope you enjoyed it. And review, please. Thank you.
