Love conquers all

Chapter seven

Elizabeth:POV
After leaving the flat we headed towards the 'rat trap' pub. Avoiding people's gaze as we entered.
Upon entering mice of all age that where suitable to drink, were sat down gazing at the entertainment on the stage . But it was not out of enjoyment, but hatred instead.

" now both of you stick close and do what I do" basil whispered to both of us
Basil took my arm and lead me towards the bar. I was well aware of the attention I was getting, feeling the men's gaze on my back.

"Umm basi-" before I could finish Basil had left me and went to retrieve Dawson, before he was punched.

"Well hello sexy-lady what you doing around these parts" a stranger who was clearly drunk ask me , pulling his stool closer to me.

" um ah I just here with some friends trying to get a peaceful drink" I replied

"Oh so your single, why don't we get out of here and find some real entertainment " he said grabbing my arm pulling me towards darkness.

" There you are sweet pea I'v been looking for you" a voice said behind me wrapping his arms around my waist gently pulling be backwards.
I turned around and came face to face with Basil.

" oi mate I saw her first , what you think your doing" the stranger replied

" I'm taking this young lady back to our table" Basil said

" what you her boyfriend or something?" The stranger said feeling cocky

" yes" Basil said giving a glare back taking me to our table.

I was shocked I didn't know what to say but I found my voice once I was sat down.

" wha- why did you say that?"
" to get you out of trouble"
" I could of-"
"No you couldn't handle it alone"
" Thank you"
" now I don't want to hear your protest but- wait what?"
" I said thank you "
" well then your welcome " Basil replied turning slightly red before turning towards the stage to watch the entertainment.

"wha's your pleasure mates ?" the bar women said as she cleaned her hand on a rag

" I'll have a dry Sherrie.... with err perhaps-" Dawson  began to say before basil slammed his hand over Dawson mouth.   

"two pints for me and my ship mate , and a glass of rouge for the lady" basil said in his fake accent as the bar women was leaving basil contiued

"oh and by the way we just came into part, looking for an old friend of mine , maybe you know him goes by the name of ............................... Ratigan"

The music which was playing stop and gasp fulled the air , the bar women looked nervous before saying

"never heard of him" before walking away

the piano started up again and white female mouse appeared on stage

" Dearest friends, dear gentlemen Listen to my song ""Life down here's been hard for you""Life has made you strong""Let me lift the mood ,With my attitude""Hey fellas""The time is right""Get ready""Tonight's the night""Boys, what you're hopin' for will come true""Let me be good to you""You tough guys""You're feelin' all alone""You rough guys""The best o' you sailors and bums" "All o' my chums""So dream on""And drink your beer""Get cosy""Your baby's here""You won't be misunderstood""Let me be good to you"

The band began to play louder with more energy

"Hey fellas"

"I'll take off all my blues"

"Hey fellas""There's nothin' I won't do""Just for you"

(instrumental)

As the music carried on playing I noticed the bar women coming back towards us with our drinks.

" Here you our boys...it's on the house" she said before turning back towards the bar . i looked down at my drink bring it up to my noes to smell it, before i took a sip basil put his hand over it my lips gently brushing his hand. i let him take my drink away as my cheeks went scarlet .

"you see my dear , Dawson these drinks have been drugged" basil voice went high-pitched which made me look up and follow his eye line towards, Dawson chugging the whole beer in one go.

" seems alright to me, golly good ladies,golly good" Dawson said drunkenly basil grabbed Dawson clothing

"Dawson get a hold of yourself"

" oh bravo, bravo"  basil gave up trying to stop Dawson and looked over at me instead, we shared a small smile before hearing the irregular foot-steps , which belonged to fidget. sitting up straight i watch him out of the corner of my eye , seeing his peg-leg get caught before tripping over.

"basil" i whispered

" I know ..oh Dawson what luck......Dawson?......Dawson!" basil said I turned to where Dawson should have been and ended up seeing him on stage.

" oh boy..." i said bring a hand to my throbbing forehead 

"So dream on"

"And drink your beer""Get cosy""Your baby's here""Hey boys, I'm talkin' to you""Your baby'y gonna come through""Let me be good to you"

"yeah"

Dawson fell of the stage and landed on the piano which caused him to faint and then cause a huge fight.

Time skip

we had made it to ratigan lair which happen to be almost as  disgusting as ratigans face

" Dawson , Elizabeth the bottle"

We raced over to it trying to find a way to open it , that when i spotted the cork.

"basil give me a bunk-up"

" what why?"

" so i can pull the cork out"

" no i'll do it don't want to to get hurt now" i know he is only trying to be a gentlemen but he can really frustrate me. basil began to pull on the cork with no luck of getting it free

" it stuck"

"Olivia" i hear Dawson say tapping on the bottle, but what we saw was not Olivia but fidget in  disguise

" SURPRISE" we hear which caused basil to fall i went over to help him up as i was doing this i heard clapping

"Bravo,bravo simply a marvelous performers" It was ratigan followed by his blood curdling laugh 

" tho i did expect you 15 minuets earlier , trouble with the chemist set old boy"

basil re-built his composer before saying

" Ratigan, no one can have a higher opinion on you than i can, and i thing you are a slimy con tempted swear rat" basil yelled

ratigan re-closed his pocket watch chuckling before saying

" oh by the way basil i just love your disguise" he then ripped the fake mustache of which cause me to gasp as i knew he would have been in pain.

" really one would hardly recognize you ...(chuckle) the greats (chuckle) detective (laugh) in all of mouse land " he continued to laugh along with is men

" ratigan, so help me i will see you behind bar YET" basil yelled

" you fool , is-int clear to you the supra mind has won, i'v won HAHAH" ragian continued to laugh with his men which began to destroy basil. I took Basil hand a gave it a squeeze, his hand was shaking but he replied to the affection .

" Take them to the trap" the men headed towards Dawson and Basil where as ratigan headed for me . He grabbed me roughly way from Basil and whispered me

" how lovely to see you your highness "
