okay, either this is the final chapter... or the next one... lol... we're gettin real close to that clock tower scene... muwahahahahahahahaha... let's see how I switch it up? mmm? mwahahahahaha.
"Over there! The balloons!" shouted Jade, pointing it out before Basil could.
"Right. Flaversham, Dawson. Go. Me and Liz will find..."
"that box over there!" she shouted suddenly.
"Stealing my lines again?" asked Basil, running over to the box that said matches on the side.
They got the matches box and held it over to where the balloons were being pulled over... finally, they brought the tenth one off the pole, and the matches box began to take off.
"Jump!" shouted Basil, and they all jumped on the box.
"That way!" shouted Jade, recognizing the route.
Dawson released the air in one of the balloons and they took off in that direction. Finally, they got close enough to the hot air balloon that Ratigan was now bicycling cause Fidget had gotten too tired and thrown off the side.
"Basil Don't!" screamed Jade, just as he took a jump for the balloon. He attached right above Ratigan's head.
"Ratigan, don't look at him, freaking steer!" she shouted at the rat.
"Oh great!" she jumped, and caught onto the edge of the boat. she crawled up and went for the steering wheel, but she wasn't fast enough. They crashed into the clock.
Five minutes later, Basil woke up and looked around. He was inside the clock.
"Jade." he called, and someone walked behind him. He turned and Jade stood there.
"Where is he." she said, frightened. he wrapped his arm around her shoulders, hers around her waist.
"Was he right?" asked Jade, "About falling in love with your clients?" she asked.
"You're not my client." he said, then continued, "But yes. I do believe he was right." he said, and she turned around in his arms suddenly.
Ratigan stood behind her, only a few feet away.
Olivia was in his arms, mouth covered by his hand. She pulled her mouth out though and bit into his hand.
"yi!" Ratigan cried, dropping Olivia and grabbing his hand. He kicked Olivia, but this time Jade caught her before she could fall and nearly be crushed, well almost. Instead, the extra weight of Olivia threw her off and they fell exactly where Olivia would have landed.
"Hold on!" said Jade, putting her on her back and piggybacking her as she jumped onto the chain.
"Now what?" asked Olivia.
"Basil! Jump on and hit that lever!" she called down. Basil looked helplessly up at them before he saw the lever and followed her instruction.
They flew up the chain, Olivia and Jade jumping off and waiting for Basil.
"Let's go! They are floating over here." said Jade, running up the path. They ended at a window. Dawson and Flaversham were hovering in the sky. Jade picked up Olivia and tried handing her to her father. Basil stood behind her.
"Ratigan will come up behind us and knock us out. You press yourself against the wall." she said.
"But you'll be killed!" he insisted.
"I won't. As long as I copy what you did in the movie, I'll be fine." she insisted, just as she kicked him out of the way. Ratigan hit her and Olivia landed in her father's arms. they slid down the clock, and Jade copied what Basil had done, trying to catch the clock's slippery sides to keep her from falling. They hit the hour hand on the clock. She looked around, and only then did she remember that Ratigan tore Basil apart at this part.
"As long as he's safe." she told herself, looking for Ratigan. Dawson shouted to her.
"Jade! Over here!" called Dawson, and she knew Ratigan would be behind her.
"There's no escape!" he hissed at her, clawing her up beg time. Now she knew how Basil had felt. She tried to scurry away. Suddenly, something dropped and landed in front of her.
"Basil! I told you! I told you not to come!" she said, as he pulled her up.
"We go down, we're going down together." he said, turning to face Ratigan with her.
"How romantic. Together again, only it's for the last time!" he swiped at both of them.
"Get him!" called Jade, and she jumped on Ratigan, Basil following her. He almost fell off balance, but caught it quickly, knocking both of them off of him. They hit the hour hand and looked to see if Dawson was close. He was right where they could jump on.
"Go Basil!" said Jade, as they both took off sprinting for the make shift hot air balloon. Basil jumped on, but Ratigan caught Jade, pinning her to the ground and swiping at her.
"Jade!" called Basil, being held back by Dawson.
"Let go, confound it!" he said, trying to get Dawson off of him. Jade was swiped at again, and soon she fell off the hour glass.
"No!" called Basil.
"I've won!" Ratigan shouted laughing.
"On the contrary, the game's not over yet!" shouted Jade up at the rat, holding onto the pedal part of his hot air balloon and dinging his bell that he used to call his cat. Ratigan felt on him trying to figure out how she could have gotten it. Suddenly, the clock chimed 9:00 and his balance was thrown off, falling off the clock. he grabbed onto Jade. Jade knew what to do. the pedal part fell off the hot air balloon and they both fell off. The last thing she saw before she fell through the clouds was Basil's worried expression and Olivia beginning to cry into her father's apron as she had in the movie. She pulled the pedals underneath her and made sure the turbine was facing downwards.
"What?" she heard Basil exclaim, and soon she could see them once again. They began cheering and shouting hooray!
"To be thanked by the queen." Dawson said, remarking the framed newspaper clipping.
"All in a days work, doctor." he said, setting Ratigan's bell on the mantel above the fire. Jade stood by him, looking at it.
"See, I told you that if I did exactly what you did, I'd be fine." she insisted.
"Is that what I did." he asked.
"I did exactly as you did, and said exactly what you said. I was fine." she said, hugging him.
"I'm only glad you're safe." he said, then Olivia came over.
"Goodbye Basil. I'll never forget you." she said, hugging him.
"Nor I you, miss... miss flanger hanger." he said, smiling. she just shook her head at him. Then she went to Jade.
"Thank you, for everything. For being from a different dimension... everything! You saved everyone." she said, hugging her.
"You knew?"
"I told her." said Basil, grinning.
"goodbye dear." she said, hugging more tightly. Olivia went off with her father, and they left for the train.
"Um, I don't know what's gonna happen when I have to leave." said Jade, looking nervously. "A knock will be at the door and then the credits come on. I don't know what's going to happen."
"Please don't leave me." said Basil, looking heart broken.
"I'll still be able to see you, don't worry.''
"But I won't you." he said, hugging her tightly.
"I'm never too far away. All you gotta do is think of me." she said.
"I'll be off." Dawson began, pulling his coat on.
"But..." Basil began.
"Dawson, please. Stay with Basil. He needs an associate." she said.
"No, it's fine. the case is over and it's bout time I found a living residence of my own." he said, beginning to walk out. Then, a knock came on the door.
"Now, who could that be?" he asked, beginning to walk then stopping.
"Go." she insisted. Dawson opened the door.
"Is. is this the home of Basil of Bakerstreet?" she asked, crying into a tissue.
"Yes it is miss, you like you're in some sort of trouble." he said, looking worried.
"Oh I am! I am!" she said insisting.
"Oh, allow me to introduce my associate Doctor David Q. Dawson, whom I do all my cases with. Isn't that right, Doctor?" he asked, looking at Dawson.
"Why yes, I believe it is." he said, shaking Basil's hand. Basil looked back at Jade.
she stood there, and suddenly, fell to the floor. He turned back to the woman at the door.
"Excuse me." he said, running back to Jade.
"Jade?" he asked, looking at her. She cringed in pain, holding her stomach.
"I think this is what happens when I go home!" she said worried. He stared at her.
"Don't go." he pleaded quietly.
"I don't care if it hurts, it was worth it to meet the famous Mouse Detective!" she said, and they kissed. When Basil opened his eyes from the kiss, Jade was gone and only yellow dust zoomed where she once laid.
"Basil?" asked Dawson behind him.
"she's gone, Dawson." he said, before turning back to the client.
"who?" she asked curiously.
"Oh, no one. Now then, Dawson, I'd say this lady-" she he went on with the case he was meant to with Toby listening all the while sitting outside the house.
Jade awoke in her bed.
"Was I dreaming?" she asked, looking around. The movie had just ended.
"Oh, I missed the whole movie!" she said, sitting up in her bed, slapping her leg. "Oh well, it was worth it." she said, getting up and moving towards the bathroom. she looked in the movie, looking for any sign of going on the adventure at all. then she saw it.
Above her right eye was a scar, running down where Fidget had kicked her. Then, she lifted her shirt looking and found the scar going down her stomach from the stab-loon.
"Oh my god!" she said, running back to her room. She turned off the TV, and grabbed out a journal.
"Oh my god!" she said, opening it, "I never write in journals. Oh well, this is a special one." she added writing on the cover, "Adventures."
Then, she began to write down what had happened.
"There." she said, an hour and maybe forty five minutes later. She had written down her whole adventure.
"This is only the beginning." she remarked, closing the journal, and setting it by her bed. She laid down and turned off her nightstand light, all the while looking at the VCR, which sparked with yellow every now and then.
