Basil walked into the kitchen to get a drink of water when something caught his eye on the counter. He walked closer and then stiffened when he saw it.

It was a mousetrap, with a little piece of cheese on it.

"Miss Diaz!" he called out, seeing Isabelle walk in.

"What, what's wrong?"

"What is that?" he asked, pointing to the trap.

"Its a mousetrap." she said matter-of-factually.

"I know what it is? Why is it there?"

"We have been getting some more around here and...Basil, it has nothing to do with you!"

Basil just glared at her and Isabelle left the room, shaking her head. Basil looked at the mousetrap again in disbelief and he suddenly had a craving for some cheese. He missed Mrs. Judson's cheese crumpets and Isabelle unfortunately doesn't know how to make them. He looked at the cheese on the mousetrap and then shook his head.

"Now really." he thought "Its completely idiotic."

But he decided that if he was quick enough he could get it. He slowly reached for it and grasped it with his fingers, smiling slyly.

"I'm going to get it." he thought "I'm actually going to beat this vile contraption. I'm-"

SNAP!

Basil's eyes widened as he bit his lip to keep from yelling out in pain. He looked at his hand that was stuck in the trap and he lightly grabbed it, trying to pull it off. He heard the door open and a startled sigh. He looked at the door and saw Isabelle looking at him with befuddlement and amusement.

"I cant believe what I'm seeing." she said, walking to Basil and looked at his hand caught in the trap, shaking her head.

"And you're suppose to be smart, Basil." she said, gently taking his hand in her, looking at it, "OK, how we're going to do this?"

As she looked at his hand, the door opened , revealing Ratigan.

"What happened? I heard a snap and-" he said, then stopping when he saw Basil and his hand in the trap. He first looked shocked and then burst out laughing.

Ratigan leaned against the door, laughing hysterically. He slowly left the room, still laughing boisterously. Basil just put his head down, his ears perked down in embarrassment.

"This just couldn't get any worse." he thought.

Then Lily walked in.

"Hey, what's gong on? Ratigan is lying on sofa, laughing like a maniac." she said, pointing over her shoulder, "What's wron-"

She then saw Basil and she snorted.

"Oh myyyyyy gaaaaawd!" she howled, then laughing hard as she left the room. Isabelle just shook her head as she held Basil's hurt hand.

"I still cant believe you did this." she said, with a amused smile on her face while Basil was just embarrassed with the whole thing.

AN: Here we have Basil doing something kind of stupid. I was kind of inspired when I saw a Too Close for Comfort episode, when Monroe got his hand caught in the mousetrap. Why, Basil? Its funnier that way then Ratigan and also because Basil is a mouse. Lol.

I think he would want to "beat" the mousetrap since it got so many mice. As you can see, he's a bit insulted with the mousetrap.

With the girls, he's a bit more formal then Ratigan. He calls the girls Miss and by their last names. Ratigan does too, but he calls the girls by their first names.

Anyway, enjoy and comments are loved! I don't own GMD, just Isabelle and Lily!
