Me: Hey again! Now this is the last chapter. *Sad face* This was really fun to write. ^^ Thanks to all who reviewed, followed and added to favorites! I don't own Great Mouse Detective. Just Terra and my characters! Replies at the end.

Over the course of the next few days, Terra and the now freed Dr. Dawson work very hard to treat the mice that had been injured, either as a result of being in Ratigan's castle or from the battle. Terra also took the liberty of treating Basil, much to his annoyance. Now Terra was watching Ilona and the other caravans getting ready to move on. Ilona walked up to her.

"Well, we shall be off, Miss Terra."

"Where do you think you will go?" Ilona shrugged.

"You never can tell where the road will take you." She eyed the other mouse.

"Are you sure that you don't wish you came with us? You would fit it perfectly." Terra smiled at the gypsy mouse's offer.

"Thank you Ilona but-" Terra's eyes drafted to Basil, who was helping one of the other mice load items onto the the caravans.

"My place isn't on the road, it's here in London." Ilona followed her gaze and smiled herself.

"I see what you mean." She turned back and took Terra's paws into her own.

"Take care of yourself, Miss Terra Dale. You are a friend to all gypsies." Terra smiled and Ilona started to walk away. Basil walked passed her and Ilona nodded at him. Fidget came waddling up to the pair with a crooked grin on his face.

"Well, guess this is g'dbye." Terra knelt.

"You're leaving with them?" Fidget nodded.

"But don't worry, Terr'a, I'll 'isit." A sad smiled graced her face as she and the bat hugged.

"Take care of yourself, Fidget." She told him as she let go and stood.

"Thank you for your help, Fidget." Basil and Fidget shook and Fidget winked at him. Terra thought that she saw the faintest trance of a blush on Basil's cheek. Then Fidget toddled off.

About an hour later, Terra was standing on the roof of Basil's flat, thinking about what had happened over the past few days. Her mind drafted to the fight in the forest. She shivered at the thought of what she did.

"Terra?" She turned to see Basil walking up.

"What are you doing up here?" He asked and she shrugged.

"I had to clear my thoughts." She told him looking back up at the starlit sky. He sat down next to her and wrapped a blanket around her shoulders.

"Thanks." She muttered, shooting a sideways glance at him. He smiled lightly and looked up at the sky.

"Basil?"

"Yes?"

"Do- Do you think that he's still alive?" Terra turned and Basil swallowed.

"I've wondered that over the past few days. There is a possible chance that he did survive both the bullet wound and the fall." Terra flinched slightly when he mentioned the bullet wound.

"But, Terra, try not to think about it. We got back Mousedom. More than likely, Ratigan will disappear again and plot to get back at us again."

"You seem so calm." Basil sighed and Terra frowned at the far away look in his eyes.

"I have to be. Otherwise, the people I love and care about will be at risk. It's partly why I never really reached out to anyone."

"It was out of the fear of losing someone you love." Terra finished and Basil nodded. He looked up at the stars again and Terra thought about what he had told her.

"Terra, I have something for you." Terra turned as Basil gently took her paw and placed something small in it. She opened her paw and gasped. It was a small white silver oval shaped locket with a small rose in the center.

"Basil..." Terra breathed and Basil smiled.

"That locket was originally my mother's. To be completely honest, you remind me a lot of her."

"Basil, I-" Terra was completely lost for words. Basil gently closed her paw around the locket.

"Terra, you've proven that you are not like other mice I've met, and I would like you to..." Terra waited as he awkwardly rubbed his neck. She had to snicker at his social awkwardness.

"Terra, I would like to court you." Terra grinned as she throw her arms around his neck.

"I'll allow you to court me." She grinned and Basil kissed her and she melted. All her fears were forgotten.

The agonized moans of an animal echoed though the forest. A claw grasped the over hanging rock as the rat pulled himself up. His shoulder bled and his fine clothing was now torn and hung off him in shreds. He snarled at the star embedded sky.

'Terra and Basil may have escaped me this time, but this game isn't over yet! I shall make sure of that...' Ratigan swore as he limped back towards his castle.

Me: Yea, mostly happy ending. *Evil face* Reviews!

Fairytales and Pixiedust: I'M SORRY! But he's not dead! :D PLOT TWIST! *Evil Face* I had you worried for a second there, heehee.

Taliym5: Heehee, I see what you did there. Thanks, glad you liked it.

Blood Thirsty Angle: Thanks, you were wondering where I disappeared to?

Me: Like I say before, I HEART YOU ALL! :D You guys rock! I'm contemplating whether or now, I should to a sequel. Go ahead and tell me what you guys think! Until next time, TTFN!
