"A talking mouse?", moaned the Admiral. "I'm in such pain that I'm delusional. Muffy, you've gotta' get a doctor to fix me up. Otherwise, I'm a goner."

Muffy was mesmerized (that's kinda' like simonized, but less wax). A talking mouse? She had heard rumors of these things way back when she was at the orphanage, but she just thought they were horror stories that the older kids told to the younger ones on dark rainy nights. She remembered doing that herself a few times. Not with stories about mice, though. She preferred to weave crazy stories about that perverted maintenance man who got caught using his pogo stick to ... well, nevermind. We don't need any more digressions at this point in time.

Muffy stared at the mouse, and let her mind wander about what it would be like to live in a cage. Kinda' like her experience at the orphanage, but at least they had hard floors. Those cage wires would probably cut right through a girl's feet, and then the blood would drip onto whatever was below it. Those vampire bats that lived in the attic would get all excited and ... ooops ... sorry, another crazy story.

Muffy looked deep into the mouse's eyes and said ...

"OK, I give. Why did you ask us here?"
