A/N: Got special guests in this chapter!

The next morning Katie awoke to see Olivia sitting there, staring at her. "Mornin' sunshine." she smiles.

Olivia smiled. "Hello, Miss Day." she grins.

Hiram went to get breakfast together before opening up the Toy Store for incoming mouse children or parents wanting to give something for their little ones. Katie got up, stretched and used a bit of the water to wash her face, hands and behind her ears. Olivia picked out a cute little dress and asked for Katie's help a little.

Of course, being mice, Hiram made a cheese based breakfast, he hoped Katie wouldn't mind. Katie came down, led by Olivia. She smiled at the cheese platter. Olivia giggled happily and pulled Katie to the table.

"This may not be the home-cooking you're used to, Miss Day, but I hope you enjoy it." Hiram told their guest as he got a plate for Olivia.

"Aye it's grand, thank you, Mr. Flaversham." Katie smiled.

Olivia got Katie a seat, then sat in her own.

Hiram served up breakfast, he then took a seat with them and happily ate with them. "Happy Birthday, Livie." he smiled to his daughter.

"Yes, Happy Birthday, Miss Olivia." Katie smiled.

Olivia looked happy. "Thank you Daddy, thank you, Miss Katie." she says.

Hiram smiled. "Yer growin' up fast, Livie... Five-years-old, soon ye'll be old and wrinkly like me." He told her, though playfully and teasing about his own age.

Katie hid a giggle, but smiled. "We don't get old and wrinkly, sir, we get wisdom," she replies, only joining in the joke. "Right, Miss Olivia?" She asks.

Olivia wasn't being rude as she joked too. "She's right, Daddy," she giggles. She then couldn't help, but add. "But you're not old and wrinkly anyway, Daddy." she smiles.

Hiram chuckled. "I always heard 'women are wiser'."

Katie smiled softly. Olivia giggled and looked happy. Hiram finished his breakfast and waited for the 'ladies' to finish. He smiled at them and felt like this was just the perfect day so far. Katie finished hers, looking relaxed. Olivia finished. She knew Katie wasn't really her mother, but it felt like they were a proper family.

"I hope that tickled yer tummies." Hiram chuckled as he cleared their plates happily.

Katie nodded "Aye, thanks." she smiles.

Olivia helped by taking her own plate. Hiram smiled down to Olivia as he went to clean up the dishes. Katie tidied the table a little. Olivia smiled back. Hiram hummed, he decided to close the story a little early today because of his daughter's birthday, he was also thinking of maybe making Katie into an assistant for when he would sell to families on business days. Katie hummed a gentle song as she tidied. Olivia tugged on Hiram's trouser leg.

Hiram hummed, then looked down to his daughter. "Oh, hello, deah."

Olivia looked at Hiram. "I don't think Miss Katie has a home around... Can she work here, Daddy?" She asks.

Hiram thought for a moment. "Well... I don't have a problem with it, and it'd be nice to have another helpin' paw around here..." he smiled, agreeing with her to have Katie work with him. "Only if it's alright with her."

"I'll go ask her, Daddy." Olivia smiles cutely.

Hiram chuckled. "Go right ahead, sweetie."

Olivia skipped hard and was heard asking Katie.

Katie looked at the girl and smiled. "Aye, I'd like that." she says softly.

Hiram smiled fondly. Olivia squealed happily and hugged the woman. Katie chuckled, hugging her back. She wondered about her 'Nee-bear', but was confident they would find each other.

Dawson woke Cherry by knocking on the door.

Cherry flinched a bit. "Yes?"

"Miss, are you awake?" He asks gently.

"Oh, yes, I'll be out in a minute, Mr. Dawson." Cherry replied.

Dawson was heard standing, waiting. Cherry got her hair neat and made sure her clothes weren't so wrinkled, and she stepped out of the room she was sleeping in. This being a mouse thing would take some getting used to even if she always wanted to be one as a kid, part of a phase she was going through.

Dawson smiled. "Good morning, Miss..." he trails off.

"Cherry," the new mouse girl replied. "Cherry... Brie..." She thought she might make up a new last name for her mouse identity and thought of her original last name and cheese at once, so Brie.

Dawson took her paw and tried to be gentlemousely by kissing the back of it instead of just shaking it. Cherry blinked, surprised, then remembered where she was and smiled a bit, flattered, she had a small giggle.

Dawson blushed a tiny bit, but smiled back. "Lovely name." he smiles.

"Thank you." Cherry gave a nod.

"Would you like a spot of breakfast before we get the carriage to London?" Dawson asks, nervously.

"Oh, yes, please, Mr. Dawson." Cherry used her manners the best she could.

Dawson smiled and led her to the dining room.

Cherry followed as she looked all around, this place looked a bit fancy from what she was used to. "Do you travel the world, Mr. Dawson?" She asked as she followed him.

"Wherever her majesty's army takes me." Dawson nods.

Cherry looked puzzled, there was even a Mouse Queen? "Oh?" she asked, interested.

"Well, where it took me, I'm retiring now... but yes, I was a part of Queen Mousetoria's army." Dawson explains.

"What did you do?" Cherry looked over to him.

"I'm a doctor, mostly of surgery though." Dawson smiles.

"Wow," Cherry sounded impressed. "I guess you've saved lives, huh?"

Dawson looked shy. "I-I guess." he says, humbly.

Cherry smiled, she then grew eager about eating once her stomach growled lowly. "Oh, excuse me..." she chuckled a little nervously.

Dawson chuckled and they had some cheese crumpets.

Cherry had never heard of cheese crumpets, but they were so lovely and amazingly delicious. "These are awesome." she praised.

Dawson smiled.

Cherry finished, but she had to sit a moment and allow her food to digest. "Thank you so much, sir." She was still worried about Katie and wished she could contact her 'Katie Kat' somehow, but couldn't.

Dawson smiled gently, then looked soft. Cherry finished some of the drink she was given to let her food settle as she sat with Dawson. Dawson sipped on his tea.

"So, you have a carriage?" Cherry asked, she had to wonder what would pull it since they were mice and wouldn't be able to ride with horses.

"No, we'll have to catch a human one." Dawson says.

"Oh." Cherry felt silly then, that must have been common sense for a mouse.

Dawson chuckled. Cherry smiled, she continued to sit and talk with him until they would need to go.

Cherry finished off her drink. "Is it time to go then?"

"Just enough time to grab something to read." Dawson smiled.

"I'll get the plates." Cherry offered.

"Oh, you don't have to, dear." Dawson says.

"I insist." Cherry replied with a smile.

Dawson shook his head, though he personally didn't like it, they were in a public place though and the servants would need to do it. Cherry blinked, not realizing there were servants about, so she offered to save him the trouble. Dawson looked with a small smile to her though.

Cherry shrugged with a smile. "I suppose I'll wait for you then?"

"Come with me, we'll get you something too." he says.

"Oh, alright." Cherry smiled, then stood up from the table again, going with Dawson.

Dawson led her out. Cherry followed, even if it wasn't much of a day, it still looked very dark and foggy out, much to her liking. Dawson smiled.

'I could get used to this...' Cherry thought to herself.

Dawson got a newspaper and let her look for a book. Cherry looked at the book, very curious of it, she then opened it and started to read, though she would rather read it on her cell phone, she grew to love books again once she read this one. Dawson got it for her. Cherry adjusted her glasses so she could read the book by the little light she had. Dawson read his paper.

Cherry started to read the book, she again would rather read it on her phone, but in the late 19th century, she couldn't, but she grew interested in the book the more times she turned the page and felt gripped. Dawson smiled, almost fatherly. Cherry smiled too, she just hoped Katie was alright wherever she was.

After a bit of dishes, Hiram opened up the Toy Store for incoming mouse families. There came a rather big family, there was a mother, a father, and their three children, an older girl, a middle son, and a baby daughter. Olivia brought Katie over to help with them. Katie tried to help the best she could.

Hiram smiled. "I know this may be a bit hard at first for ye, tryin' new things can be a challenge, but I'm sure ye'll do fine, Miss Day."

The mouse boy with his family looked anxious to get into the store, but his mother tried to keep him patient. Katie nodded, smiling.

"I wish ye luck though." Hiram promised, then he opened the door.

The mouse boy rushed in as soon as the door was open.

"Fievel, please, no running inside!" his mother scolded.

Katie smiled fondly. Olivia looked at Fievel. Fievel laughed, but then stopped as he saw Olivia, he looked slightly drawn to her. Olivia smiled and waved.

Fievel blushed a little. "Um, hello..."

Olivia smiled. "Hello, my name's Olivia Flaversham." she says.

Fievel smiled. "I'm Fievel Mousekewitz."

Olivia smiled.

"Can I interest ye in anything special?" Hiram asked the Mousekewitz family.

"Vell, I think it vould be good if Yasha had a doll to play vith as she is growing," the father replied, gesturing down to his youngest child who looked like she was old enough to walk and talk now. "Tanya is getting too old for toys, but sadly, ve don't have any of her old toys to give to Yasha anymore..."

Katie looked at the young mouseling, then quickly around the store. She grinned and went off. She picked out a rag doll, something safe but durable. "How about this one?" She asks.

The girl's parents looked down. Yasha came a little closer, she wanted to reach and touch the doll with a small smile. She seemed to have loved it already. Katie allowed the girl to gently touch it, to see. Yasha stumbled a little, but fell gently on the floor to hold the doll, she hugged it instantly.

"Girls and their dolls." the father smiled.

"Girls alvays love their dolls." the mother added.

Hiram smiled, plus that was good assisting of Katie. Yasha giggled as she hugged her new doll.

"How much?" the father asked.

"Just two pieces of silver." Hiram told the other male mouse gently.

Mama and Papa Mousekewitz paid for the doll as Yasha giggled and hug it.

Tanya looked like she had a million other places she would rather be right now.

Katie looked at Tanya and smiled. "How old are you?" She asks, smiling.

"I'll be 12 in a month or so," Tanya looked to her. "Next year though, I'll be an adult. Mama and Papa said so."

"Oh, yes... a big girl... I bet you would like a big girl gift, huh?" She asks, glad this was the only family in right now.

"Big girl gift?" Tanya looked curious.

Katie secretly slipped her bracelet off. She then made as if she pulled it out of a pocket. She showed the girl.

Tanya looked to the bracelet, her eyes glowed. "Oh... This is very lovely!"

Katie put it on the girl's wrist, smiling.

Tanya smiled. "Oh, Mama, Papa, could I have it?"

Mrs. Mousekewitz looked. "That doesn't belong to you, Tanya..." she said, nearly firmly.

Katie looked at them. "My gift to her." she smiles softly. She showed her wrist gently.

"Oh... Okay." Mrs. Mousekewitz softened a bit.

Tanya giggled.

"Ve better get going, I start work soon, thank you so much for the doll, Mr. Flaversham and..." Mr. Mousekewitz turned to the new mouse woman.

"Day," Hiram answered for his new assistant.

"Miss Day," Mr. Mousekewitz smiled. "Sorry to rush off like this."

Mrs. Mousekewitz picked up her youngest child and the new rag doll.

Fievel seemed to really like Olivia. "You talk different... Where are you from? My family's Russian."

"Scotland." Olivia smiled.

"I never been there, what's it like?" Fievel asked, very interested, he knew what it was like to travel the world, even if he had never been to Scotland himself.

"We're here, silly." Olivia giggles.

Fievel felt sheepish around Olivia now and was sad that they had to leave now. Katie smiled and waved gently.

Olivia looked sad too, but smiled. "Come and visit~" she chirps.

"I-I promise, I will..." Fievel waved to Olivia, then quickly caught up with his family.

"Thank ye, come again!" Hiram called as the Mousekewitz family left, he then smiled. "Good job, Miss Day... Ye handled that one really well!"

Katie smiled at Hiram. "Well, I couldnae let the wee lady away with nothing for her becomin' an adult soon." she says.

Olivia smiled.

"Aye..." Hiram nodded, he was then wondering what it would be like once Olivia would get to be that age. Would they still have a good bond between the two of them since the disappearance of Olivia's mother? Would she resent him? He had to wonder, but enjoyed his little girl while he could.

More mouse families came into the Toy Store as it was getting close to the early closing time Hiram told the last customer, he wanted to spend a nice chunk of the rest of the day with his birthday girl. Katie helped and also kept Olivia entertained. Olivia adored Katie.

"Olivia~" Hiram called gently as he closed the shop for the night. "I would like to see ye in my workshop when yer ready." He then went to the back room, he was going to give Olivia her surprise.

Olivia took Katie's hand and led her through. Katie smiled and went with the girl.
