After the balloons were set, the flag was tied together and they had created their own hot air balloon. Cherry was very nervous about going up, but she had to remind herself that Katie needed help, so she went along with it and they were flying through the air now. Dawson and Hiram held the balloon strings as Cherry was slightly clinging to Basil as she looked deathly pale, due to her intense acrophobia. Dawson was helping steer the makeshift air balloon. After a little while, Fidget was thrown from the blimp and Ratigan was flying it. Katie was clinging Olivia safely to her. She wouldn't allow the girl to get hurt.

"Let 'er go, chaps!" Basil commanded.

Cherry couldn't even respond, she looked traumatized beyond belief due to the high height. Hiram helped let loose some air from the balloon and they were going backward rather too quickly, but they could catch up with the blimp.

Olivia looked at the balloons. She grinned. "Everyone!" She shouts, excited.

Ratigan glanced back. Katie was watching as Big Ben got closer, her eyes wide.

"IIIIIII feeeeel diiizzzyyyy..." Cherry shook a little, looking quite sick to her stomach as they even passed London Bridge, only, it wasn't falling down. At least not now.

Basil was very determined as they came closer for Ratigan, but the rat's blimp seemed to be slowing down. Fidget got thrown out and Ratigan sped up the blimp. Katie was horrorstruck, looking at Big Ben.

"Steady!" Basil called before he went to jump after Ratigan in his blimp after Fidget fell into the water, uncertain if he survived or not.

Ratigan growled and ducked. Dawson supported Cherry. Katie glanced back at Basil and Ratigan. Basil may have not exactly gotten the rat, but he was still determined as always. Big Ben's clock face seemed so intense right at this moment as it looked like they would crash against it. Cherry wasn't sure what she was more scared of now. This very moment or still being at a very high height and she was this size. Ratigan was about to attack Basil but screamed. Katie shielded Olivia, holding her close. The blimp crashed into the clock face.

"Oh, goodness..." Cherry whimpered when she looked down to see what had happened as she floated with Dawson and Hiram.

Hiram bore a grave expression, he was certain no one could have survived that impact. Ratigan woke up first and grabbed Katie, covering her mouth. Olivia was next to Basil, trying to wake him up. Katie squirmed in Ratigan's hold. She was trying to warn the two.

Basil groaned as he woke up on a giant clock gear. He forgot where he was for a moment as he gasped and saw the enormous gears all around them, he then looked to the little girl. "Olivia... Where's Katie?" he asked, deeply concerned.

Ratigan reached up to slap Basil.

"Basil, look out!" Katie exclaims, managing to get her mouth free.

Olivia gasped. Basil looked behind him and he was too late. He had been slapped off the gear, but this time, he wasn't going to give up again. He rolled off the one that was spinning with him, but he grabbed onto the ends to save his own life before he would save Katie and Olivia. He had trouble grabbing onto it though and pulling himself up. Olivia went to help Basil. Katie bit Ratigan's paw. Ratigan cried out and ended up letting Katie go but kicked Olivia off the gear. Basil managed to get free and trapped Ratigan's cape against a couple of crushing gears and gasped once he saw Olivia's life was in serious jeopardy.

A couple of gears were going to fuse together and once Olivia would get up there, that would mean they would crush her tiny body as well.

"Come on, Katie!" Basil called as he rushed off to get to a different gear and climbed up the chains to save Olivia before she would be squashed against the metal gears she was about to be next for.

Ratigan struggled to get his cape free. Olivia looked scared. Katie followed Basil to save Olivia. The top gear was now inches away from little Olivia. When Basil and Katie were flying up the chain together, they saved Olivia with just seconds to spare! Basil let Katie hold Olivia, seeing as the girls had become close lately as they were getting to the top of the famed and large clock of London to make their escape into safety. Ratigan noticed them escaping. He flew into a blind rage, no longer did he have any gentleman in him. He tore after them, like the rat he was. Olivia clung to Katie.

Katie carried the girl. "Basil, hold onto me, I'll hold Olivia out." she says.

Dawson was helping the balloons get closer. Hiram followed suit with Dawson, they were very close! Basil held Katie as she held the little mouse girl and Hiram reached his paw for his daughter's. Ratigan lunged for the two adults. Dawson was controlling the balloons. Olivia latched onto her father's hands and hugged him. Katie smiled as Olivia was grabbed, seconds before Ratigan grabbed them. Hiram hugged as soon as he got to hold Olivia once it started to rain.

"Katie!" Cherry weakly called, she may have been under intense pressure with her fear, but she was more worried about her 'sister' right now.

Basil and Katie were falling down with Ratigan, missing the makeshift hot air balloon. Ratigan was hiding a moment after they fell. Katie landed on the hour hand. Olivia clung to her father. Basil looked to where he fell and was starting to feel Cherry's pain as he stood up and leaned onto the hand, trying not to fall himself.

"Guys, over here!" Cherry called as they still floated with Olivia included.

The rain grew slightly heavier, but Basil looked relieved to see them. Ratigan reached out and grabbed them both in one armn Katie groaned slightly and then gasped as his arm came around their throats. Basil managed to wiggle himself free and he tried to crawl away from Ratigan's wrath, he was actually very frightened at this very moment. Katie bit his arm this time.

Ratigan started to attack the two. Olivia whimpered. Ratigan was at nearly all ends, even when Katie and Basil would escape in other ends. The balloon was coming for Katie and Basil, but it didn't look good. Basil was sliding and slipping due to the rain and Ratigan was much more of a terror now than he was before. Lightning flashed as he was gripping the end of the minute hand of Big Ben and he had Katie wrapped around his waist. Katie was holding as tight as she could, glaring at Ratigan.

Ratigan managed to knock them off, laughing madly. Cherry tried to reach for Basil and/or Katie, but it looked as though they couldn't save them. She was now very angry with Ratigan. Hiram looked worried a moment as he kept his hold on Olivia. The two fell, the propeller held in Basil's paw. Ratigan was laughing his success.

"On the contrary!" Basil mocked Ratigan as the 'sewer rat' believed he had won. "The game's not ever yet!" he rang a tiny bell.

This suddenly made the clock hands go to midnight and the bells rung loudly from inside Big Ben's face, still able to operate. Cherry clamped her hands over her ears the best that she could with the booming bells that were even louder than the Bells of Notre Dame. Katie closed her eyes tight from the noise, but held Basil tight. Ratigan fell, but grabbed the back of Katie's skirt, pulling the two mice with him. Basil still had the propeller as they were falling from Big Ben all together now.

"Katie..." Cherry whispered sadly as she watched with the others as the three rodents disappeared behind the fog.

Hiram held Olivia as this felt like a very sad moment for all now. Suddenly, there was a squeaking noise heard. Katie had had to get rid of the outer dress. So basically was in her under dress and corset. Olivia turned to look with wide eyes. The rain seemed to stop as Basil was flying up with Katie, both safe and sound. Hiram saw this and he was instantly happy for them.

Cherry had her eyes covered, she didn't know that Katie and Basil were okay. "No, no, I can't look... I just can't..."

"They're okay!" Olivia cried happily.

Katie was blushing.

"Oh, Katie..." Cherry saw as they all happily reunited.

Basil smiled, hugging everyone again.

Cherry sniffled and hugged her 'big sister'. "I was so worried..."

Katie held her, not even caring about the wounds from the scratches. She looked at Basil, offering a small smile. Olivia joined the two girls in the hug. Hiram smiled as he took the balloon away from Big Ben.

Basil smiled back to Katie. "Twas an honor to work with you, Miss Day."

"And you, Mr. Basil." Katie says quietly.

This was a very happy moment.

A while after, they landed and the mice cheered for all of them. Queen Mousetoria gave smiles to her heroes and the Flavershams, she also decided she should reward them. Katie had been patched up, the same time but in different rooms, as Basil. She was now in a soft purple dress that the Queen had given her. Queen Mousetoria allowed Basil and Dawson to come forth as she rose her scepter.

Cherry smiled, this was a big honor for them. The mouse queen praised the mice for their heroism and for vanquishing that horrible Ratigan and had knighted them. Katie smiled as the two were knighted. Basil and Dawson rose after their picture was taken for the local paper.

"And of course, we'll have two new ladies." Queen Mousetoria chuckled.

"U-Us?" Cherry gulped, referring to her and Katie.

"Oh, yes..." Queen Mousetoria gestured for them to come over.

Cherry beamed to Katie before they went over. Katie looked surprised but stood beside Cherry, before lowering onto one knee as directed. Cherry wiped her eyes as she did the same.

Queen Mousetoria smiled as she gently tapped them with her scepter, as it was customary. "I dub thee Lady Katie and Lady Cherry... Thank you for your services to save the day with Lord Basil of Baker Street and Lord David Dawson."

"It was an honor to meet you, Your Majesty, thank you for this honor too." Katie says softly.

"Y-Yes, thank you..." Cherry added, more soft.

"It was nice to meet you too," Queen Mousetoria smiled to them. "God's speed, my dears..."

Katie bowed her head before standing up. She smiled softly.

Cherry stood with Katie as the crowd applauded them. "This has been fun and all, but how are we gonna get home?" she asked her dear friend/sister.

Katie smiled for the crowd. "I don't know." she whispers.

After the knighting ceremony, they all went to Basil's place as they framed the newspaper article of how they were honored by the queen herself.
