There was a small rocking horse on the table as Hiram went to get the surprise. He then came, with his hands behind his back. "I haven't given ye yer present yet," he smiled to his daughter. "Are ye ready?"
"This has been the best birthday ever!" Olivia had said. She then looked at her father with wide eyes. "You got me a present?!" She asks happily.
Katie smiled, she loved this bit, but was worried what would happen after.
"Close yer eyes," Hiram told his daughter. "No peekin~"
Olivia giggled, closing her eyes. Katie smiled, helping cover the girl's eyes.
Hiram came closer and gently put a pink package on the table in front of Olivia. "Open them." he told her gently with a smile, this wasn't just an ordinary pink package.
Katie uncovered the girl's eyes. Olivia looked at it and gasped. The package opened up to reveal a pink rose bud with a knob on it. Katie saw the key and wound it up for the girl. Olivia gasped as it turned out to be a dancing doll.
Hiram smiled, he hoped she liked it. However, there was someone evil outside the Toy Store, stalking the Flaversham family during little Olivia's birthday. A crash was heard. Katie held Olivia. Olivia looked scared.
"Stay in here and don't come out," Hiram told his frightened daughter. "Katie, keep her safe." He got Olivia and Katie into the closet and shut the door, hopefully this would be all over soon.
Katie nodded. Olivia tried to get out. The evil person struggled with Hiram. Hiram was trying to fight against this stranger, but found he wasn't able to. There was paint everywhere with disorganized toys, and soon enough, Hiram was taken away from the toy store. He had fought against an evil bat, but the bat had won and taken him. Katie helped the girl once it was quiet.
"Daddy? Daddy?! Daddy, where are you?!" Olivia calls out.
Cherry kept reading her book until the carriage would stop for her and Dawson. Dawson was reading a new newspaper. Olivia was crying in a shoe. Katie was hugging the young mouse. The carriage finally stopped. Cherry noticed this, she quickly looked down to her book, memorizing the page number and chapter she was on, then closed it. Dawson climbed off, helping Cherry off and opened his umbrella. Olivia had made Katie borrow one of her mother's dresses and coats, to keep her warmer. Katie hugged the little mouse, keeping her warm.
Cherry gently took his paw to get safely down. She looked around as she could've sworn she heard something. "I hear crying..."
Dawson nodded and followed the sound. Cherry and Dawson went along. When they came closer, they found Katie holding the poor mouse girl Olivia for the loss of her father.
"Oh, my..." Cherry looked very worried for the poor girl. She didn't recognize Katie yet.
Katie rocked the girl. Olivia cried softly.
Dawson looked at them. "Are you alright?" He asks.
Katie looked over. "D-Do you kn-know a Basil o-of Baker street?" She asks, sniffing from a bit of cold.
Olivia held out the newspaper clipping.
Cherry didn't think that name sounded familiar, but Baker Street did. "But, where are your parents?" she asked the poor girl in distress.
Dawson looked.
"M-My father's missing... Th-That's why we need to find Basil~" Olivia manages, then starts to cry again.
Katie hugged and rocked the young mouse.
"H-Hey now, it's okay..." Cherry tried to calm them down. "I don't know who Basil is, but I'm sure we'll find him..." She looked back to Dawson. "Do you happen to know where Baker Street is?"
Dawson nodded. "This way." he says.
Olivia clung to Katie. Katie followed, wearily. Cherry went with them to find this Basil of Baker Street.
The group walked over, there was a tall home above which belonged to the famed human detective, Sherlock Holmes, who was now playing his violin. The mouse group went over to Basil's door though and knocked on the door. Dawson waited. Katie held Olivia's hand.
Cherry looked over before the mouse opened the door. "We haven't been properly introduced... Who are you two?"
Dawson looked.
"Olivia Flaversham and Katie Day." Olivia says.
Katie nodded, sniffing again.
"Katie...?" Cherry sounded surprised.
Katie looked surpised at Cherry.
Cherry blinked. "Katie, it's me..." she whispered to her 'Katie Kat'.
