GMD Fic: Basil the Warrior?

[goldvermilion87]

A true drabble for capt_facepalm for this drabble-requesting meme. (WHERE YOU CAN REQUEST A DRABBLE, TOO!  :-D )

References to Brian Jaques's Redwall universe included mostly because I'm not creative enough to come up with my own mouse mythology.

 

Basil the Warrior?

Olivia Flaversham loved to pretend. Daddy would tell her stories of Martin the Warrior, and then she’d put on the pretty princess dress Mummy made for her and the tiara Daddy made to match, and imagine she was captured by Ripfang the Pirate and Martin was coming to save her!

She never thought her pretend would become real…or that reality would be so different.

Being kidnapped was more scary than exciting.

And she didn’t feel like a princess in her everyday clothes.

And she never ever imagined that her knight wouldn’t be able to remember…

“My dear Miss Flangerhanger!”

Thank you very much!
I have always loved The Great Mouse Detective and Olivia was a wonderful creation. That Basil cannot ever get her last name correct always makes me laugh!

Same here.

And the fact that he always pulls the "whatever-I-don't-care" stunt to pretend that it's not actually a MISTAKE
