Before Easter vacation back in 2010, I had a dream about this when I was twelve in 6th grade.

Chapter 2: Ratigan Traps Fidget and Me

Meanwhile, in Ratigan's castle, Ratigan held Olivia captive. They sat on the couch. Ratigan scrutinized her and he could tell that she was resistant. "There's something very wrong with this Olivia Flaversham mouse," he announced to himself, "Maybe she's hungry." With that, he got off the couch and started making himself and her supper.

Fidget and I peered through the door and overheard Ratigan's words. From there on, we immediately snuck in and tip-toed. Olivia, on the couch, watched from above and smiled. We shushed her; that way she wouldn't talk as loud. In all, we were glad to see one another.

Together, Fidget and I continued to tip-toe toward her and we both reached our hands to hold her until Ratigan's men ambushed me and Fidget. They had us spend the night in a cage. By doing so, the pointed to the cage, eying us closely.

"Fidget, what's going on?" I wanted to know.

"Jenny, it's okay," Fidget tried to convince me.

I didn't argue with him. I went in the cage first and I pulled him into it with me. He shut it behind us. Then it hit me a minute later. Fidget should be responsible for all this! Glaring, I told him like it is, "No! It's not okay." My sudden outrage made Ratigan's thugs gasp and flinch away. Incensed at the bat, but quieter this time, I added, "You put us both in danger! That's not good! In fact, you shouldn't even feel good about it! Look, Olivia doesn't seem too happy about it, either. I thought you and Ratigan are done. After we get out of this stinking cage, then we'll get Olivia back and head straight home!" With that, I turned around, angrily.

"This is not good," Oliver muttered to himself. I pet him.

"Don't worry, Oliver, we'll be out of here as soon as we can," I assured him, "If not tonight, then tomorrow we will."

I cried, but he rubbed his body against mine as his way of comforting me with a purr.

Speechless, dumbfounded, and stunned by my angry words, Fidget was extremely embarrassed by the damage he'd caused, but he knew that nothing he can say to me at this point would make anything better. So, he sat and felt sorry for himself. He even muttered to himself, sadly, "Mom. Dad. I forgot how to sneak in very carefully. So, please forgive me. I put my new friend and myself in danger. Is there any way that you can help me remember?"

Although I was still mad at the bat for what he's done to both of us, I turned around, concerned about him. I wonder what happened to them. Did they get killed by Ratigan? Perhaps. Either that or they got lost. "What happened to them?" I asked Fidget.

"I don't know, Jenny," he fretted, "Maybe they died and Ratigan kidnapped me. Either that, or they are still alive, but I just couldn't find them. If that were really that case, then no one even helped me."

"Do you have your parent's phone number?" I ventured to ask, "If so, where do you keep it?"

"In my left wing, there is a pocket," he answered.

"Oh, that's very clever," I commented.

Fidget watched behind bars to see that Ratigan wasn't really doing much for Olivia.

"It doesn't look like Ratigan is taking care of Olivia, at all," he informed, like a detective, "And like you said, Jenny, we'll be out of here in no time tomorrow."

I was moved by his speech, so I pointed out, "I know just the thing. How about you use your peg-leg to get us out? Or I can use my foot to push the door open because you didn't lock it, did you?"

"Nope, I didn't lock it because I didn't need to!" he replied, and added, "And I think your idea is going to work out!" Whispering in my ear, he concluded in a way that only I could hear, "Otherwise, Olivia can get us out."

"That, too," I said, "But for now, I think it's best if we get some rest."

"Right, we came all this way, and we won't leave Livy behind," Fidget informed, "Besides, I put my heart into it."

With our ideas, fresh in our minds, we fell asleep together in the cage.

Surprisingly, since Olivia couldn't sleep on the couch by herself, she joined us without us even noticing it.
