Back in the spring of 2010, when I was still 12, I had a dream about this, except for the beginning part when Olivia, Fidget, and I were solving mysteries. Now, I thought it’d seem better if Toby was in this story, instead of me.


A couple weeks later after yet another struggle with the nefarious no-good second-rated rat, a trio that involves a male peg legged bat, a preteen female mouse, and a basset hound as mentioned before: Fidget, Olivia Flaversham, and Toby were on the pathway and spotted footprints.
Toby sniffed the ground as Fidget speculated the footprints as carefully as he could. “Looks like Ratigan’s at it again!” Fidget said finally.

They thought for a moment before Olivia said with excitement in her voice, “You’re right, Fidget! You’ve solved the case! Now let’s go over to Basil’s and tell him all we know.”

Fidget obediently nodded and on they resumed their journey.

...

Meanwhile, in a dark alley, which leads to Baker Street, Ratigan’s men frowned at the trio.

“Let’s go before this gets worse,” Toby whispered tersely in a horrified voice. They started to walk briskly around the alley. Unfortunately, they’ve made a wrong turn! They thought this alley was their only trail to Basil’s, but they were horribly wrong! Running away from the alley was the right thing to do.

“We’re almost there, Fidget!” Olivia called and looked behind her, “Fidget?” How could he vanish? she wondered, He was right behind us.

“FIDGET! Can you hear us?” Toby hollered in dismay. Turning behind him, he noticed that Fidget had disappeared, too. Toby knew it right away! Ratigan’s crazy thugs must have abducted him.

“How about we retrieve him back?” Olivia suggested.

“Right, Mr. Basil can wait until we bring Fidget back!” Toby said, determinedly. His determinism suddenly turned dismal. Feeling terrible, Toby sighed and hung his head in despair as if he had something to do with Fidget’s absence.

Olivia immediately read his mind off the bat. Without his awareness, she laid her hand on Toby’s leg and said, “It’s not your fault, Toby. In fact, it’s nobody’s fault.”

Turning around, sniffling, Toby agreed, “You’re definitely right, Olivia.” Looking up at the full pale moon, his tone darkened, “It’s not our fault–it’s Ratigan’s!” With that, he howled plaintively.

...

In Ratigan’s lair, Olivia and Toby watched as Ratigan instructed his guards to stuff Fidget into a big green glass bottle the same way Fidget did to Olivia when he pulled her away from her father.

“Let go of me, you morons!” Fidget shouted as Ratigan’s men threw him in the bottle.

“This should cool you down!” they said as they shoved him in with a cork.

“Ow! My butt!” Fidget yelled in pain as he is now behind glass, “Somebody help! Let me out! Please!”

The guards glared at him and said, “Serves you right, kid!” With that said, they kicked the glass in rage. Fidget flinched, but then defiantly punched the glass to make his kidnappers go away and it was they who fled away in terror.

“Yeah, back off!” was all Fidget said and added, “And wash your hands while you’re at it!” Grief-stricken and perplexed like any person would in his situation, he sighed, and sat down with his head hung in sadness, not because of what he said to Ratigan’s guards or his name-calling. Don’t worry, Fidget, he coached himself, Olivia and Toby will come and rescue you.

Olivia and Toby peeked behind the walls and saw all that was happening and seeing that Ratigan and his men disappeared gave them spare time to go and transfer Fidget out of the bottle, where he had been enclosed. “Fidget!” they beamed in a whisper.

Spontaneously, the bat’s ears perked up. “Livy! Toby!” he said. “You came for me! I knew you would!”

“Have you tried getting out?” Olivia advised, out of curiosity.

Fidget flailed to push the cork out of his way just as Olivia did before when Basil and Dawson were still tied to a mousetrap used for Ratigan’s killing machine. Dejected, Fidget fell back into place.

“Hey, what about your peg leg?” Toby offered.

“What about it?” he inquired, studying his leg in guardedness as if it were used to help him walk and nothing else.

“Well, you use it for walking, don’t you, Fidget?” Toby returned, “So, I just thought you can use it for other things like kicking.”  

Fidget thoughtfully brainstormed Toby’s plan. Eventually, he said, willing to put his skills to use, “It’s risky, but worth a try!”

Toby clapped his paws, triumphantly as if they were both on the same page.

Carefully, Fidget lifted up his leg and fought to maintain his balance. At that moment in time, Olivia and Toby plopped down and lied on the floor, because they didn’t want glass to impale them. As Fidget kicked the glass, he wrapped himself with his strong and powerful wings in case glass pierced his face. In an instant, he was free! Olivia and Toby got off the ground and took Fidget with them and the trio boldly bolted out of Ratigan’s house alive!

Later, in his house, Ratigan’s men announced that they wanted to become house pets. Finally, Ratigan resigned, disgusted with their decision, but reminded them that once they leave, they won’t ever return.

Author’s note: What I meant by Olivia being mature is her being mature beyond her years compared to some kids her age.

Basically, Toby was accompanied by both Fidget and Olivia as they do cases together. At first, each of these chapters were one-shots based upon my ideas and dreams I had, but decided to continue on the spot.
