Chapter I

A long time ago in a far away place when mice, rats, and Dragonflys were the only creatures living. I know what you're going to say, dinosaurs and all that caveman stuff is just a bunch of bologna. I'm going to tell you the truth, the real truth about The Three Miceketeers, but before I can tell you that story I'll have to tell I YOU this one.

Last year our heros The Three Miceketeers, had a Close encounter with the evil Ratco. He was an evil one, with red eyes, a big nose, and half of a lad because it was by a dragonfly. He was the most hated creature in all of Mousetown because he keeps trying to take over their precious city and this year be was going to take it over again to make them his slaves.

"Gus! Cheesy!" called Slicker.

'"What is it?' said Gus, and Cheesy simultaneously.

"Ratco is trying to take over the kingdom again. He is casting a spell on all the villagers." announced Slicker. Slicker was the fastest of the three mice. He could outrun a pack of cheetahs. You see there used to be a country called Vengar. Cheesy was so strong he threw it into outer space and that's how the moon was formed. Gus Was the smartest. Gus knew more than Einstein did when he was an infant. Gus was the first 2 year old to go to mouse Harvord Of course he was the smartest one there and got straight As.

Together they are The Three Miceketeers "Not again," complained Cheesy "doesn't that guy ever take a break. Well okay lets go," and with that The Three Miceketeers, suited up into their special Cloth suites, and left the small Cabin in which they lived.

Chapter 2

The Three Miceketeers set out on their journey to evil Ratco's castle. First they had to go through The Silver Forest. Then they had to go through the town where Ratco"s henchmen were invading. It Wa5very risky because Ratco was one dangerous rat, but they had to do it for the town's safety. "We are now approaching The Silver Forest." Gus announced.

'It's so big," Cheesy whispered.

"'Okay guys," Gus said "The Silver Forest is a trap from Ratco it will make you confused and lost so let's stick together," and with that The Three Miceketeers entered the forest not knowing what to expect.

"What's that silvery mist?" Slicker said, in a confused voice. "'That is why it's called the Silver Forest."

A few minutes later Slicker started hopping around in circles like a rabbit Singing "'Mary had a little Lamb."

"The Mist is getting to him." Gus said. "Come on," Cheesy said, "we've got to get out of this forest before he's like this for life."

"But where are we." Gus said. It Was true the two Miceketeers and the crazy and confused one were hopelessly lost.

"'We're hopelessly lost," Cheesy said in frustration.

"Well we've only got thirty minutes to get out of here before you and me catch the silver flu,"' panted GU5wbo knew of all sicknesses, flus, and diseases that he learned in college. "First you get confused, then it turns your whole body silver and you will turn to stone." Scoweled Cheesy.

"'We've got to think of a way out Of this forest! "' replied Cheesy.

"Your puny minds can"t think up a way out of my forest." Said a scratchy voice.

"W-h-h-o i-i-s i-i-t and w-h-hat d-d-o you w--want?"' questioned Gus terrified, but the voice was gone.

"That sc-sc-scary."

"That was Ratco," said Cheesy.

Chapter 3

"Think Gus think, you're our only hope." Cheesy said.

'I've got it," said Gus "it's like a maze. All you have to do is see the top."

"How are we going to do that?" asked Cheesy.

It's easy, all you have to do is just lift me up into that tree!"

"Okay." Cheesy agreed, as he easily lifted the smartest Miceketeer into a tall, sturdy oak.

"What do you see?" asked Cheesy.

"I see it. I see the way through the forest." He said as he jumped down to the ground. "All we have to do is go straight and make a couple of turns then take a right. You carry Slicker on your back, and follow me."

"Pretty colors." Slicker smiled, as his leg was beginning to turn silver.

"Oh no," Cheesy said Slicker! Silver stone was running up his legs at the blink of an eye.

"Were out.' Gus cheered, as Slicker's body returned to normal.

"Man I thought l was a gonner." Slicker said smiling.

Chapter 4

"Oh man."' Gus said staring. Cheesy and Gus turned around and saw what he was staring at. Then they saw it, it was the town. Buildings were on fire. Mice were running around destroying. There was broken glass everywhere. Cars were crashed, buildings were smashed. Some mice were injured.

"We've got to find who's causing all this trouble, and fast."

"Over there." Slicker pointed. He pointed toward where it seemed like the trouble was coming from.

" It's Ratco's 5henchmen." gasped Gus.

It was true Ratco's henchmen were invading and the worst part of all the town wasn't stopping them, they were helping them because they were the ones destroying it. The way that The Miceketeers could identify Ratco's henchmen is that one rat always wore a black cape. Another has one eye: he has a patch on it. The next is as tall and fat as four rats. The next one always wore sunglasses. The last one had a scar across his face and he was the boss of all the henchmen.

"Hi," snarled the one-eyed rat.

"What are you talking about?" Cheesy questioned bravely. 'It's quite simple really," the rat with the cape said, "all we had to do was put a hypnosis spell on the town and poof, they're our slaves." As he finished he laughed the cruelest laugh any of them have ever heard and held up their spellbook.

'We've got to stop them." Slicker replied.

"But how? We can't hurt our friends and family."

"Then we have to get that spellbook." Said Slicker and in a split second Slicker was holding the book in his hand saying the spell to get the town back to normal "'Aiya Spitia Nonwia kaboom!" chanted Slicker.

Just as the town was about tear them to shreds Slicker's spell worked.

Chapter 5

Then the town and The Three Miceketeers charged toward Ratco's henchman. Then they were gone with a puff of smoke left behind,

Meanwhile, back at Ratco's castle.

"You bafoons! You let them turn the town back to normal!!!" Ratco yelled. "Not only that boss, but they took the spellbook too." Said the boss rat.

"What? Ratco screeched at the top of his lungs. "Who was holding the book when this happened?"

"I w-was s-s-sir." Said the one eyed rat. "Feed him to the dragonfly! !!"

"No! no not that anything but that no!"

"Servants" Ratco said a few minutes later "Bring me my crystal ball." They did and Ratco used it to look at the town and The Three Nliceketeers.?

"'We must destroy that book." You could send the -dragonfly?" said the rat with the cape.

"That's a great idea. I'm glad l thought of it." "But I thought of it."

"Feed him to the dragonfly!"

So after that Ratco sent his giant mouse-eating dragonfly to destroy the spellbook and the Miceketeers. The hungry dragonfly soared over the kingdom looking for his mouse supper. He didn't have to look for there was the three mice sitting down and opening the spellbook. The dragonfly licked his lips and swooped down.

"Ahhh?" shrieked a villager "It's a dragonfly!"

To the three Miceketeers dismay, there was a huge dragonfly not just any dragonfly, but Ratco's dragonfly!

"Man what does Ratco feed that thing?"

"I feed him rats, and mice." Said a scratchy voice.

"Ratco." Said a villager.

'We have to stop hey give that back said Slicker, as the dragonfly snatched the spellbook from his hands and destroyed it.

"Now that I have destroyed the spellbook I will destroy you."

Chapter 6

"What are we going to do?"" asked Slicker "I don't know." Said Gus.

"Just leave it to me," said Cheesy.

",Are you going to fight the dragonfly?"' said Gus

"Yep." Answered Cheesy. "But you could get killed." It was no use, Cheesy already fighting the monster. "Cheesy don't you get killed," A few minutes into the fight Chessy punched it in the jaw and sent it flying back to Ratco`s cast1e.

'Hooray!' cried the town.

"Come on guys we've got to get going before Ratco casts a hypnotic spell on us and the whole world, said Gus.

"O.K.,"' said Slicker "Let's go."

"Eueee," observed Slicker "it's so disgusting."

That was the understatement of the century. The walls had goo all over them. The ceiling had a driping green fungus. Which dripped every two seconds. The suits of armor were infeste4 with worms: All of the floors were muddy, cracked, and dented. "This the grossest place ever." Gus said.

Chapter 7

"Ha! Ha! Hat!" chuckled a cruel voice.

"Ratco!" shrieked Gus.

"l see you've made it past that dope of a dragonfly." smirked Ratco smoothly. "No matter, l will just exterminate you with magic.

"How are you going to do that?" Cheesy asked bravely. "Just watch me," then Ratco chanted a spell it went like this: Hisinous Na na Morphivous. "! have just turned you into my mind controlled slaves, and now you must obey my orders. I order you to jump out that window."

"Yes master." Said Cheesy and Slicker, but Gus stood still.

"1 ordered you to jump out that window!" said Ratco angrily.

'No!' said Gus "but I order you to take the spell off of Cheesy and Slicker then destroy your spellbooks.

"Yes master," said Ratco, and Ratco did just that, "Whew," said Slicker and Cheesy, that was a close one."

You guys we'd better have reunion time later Ratco's waking up."

So the three friends sprinted through the messy halls and out of the castle but on their way out they heard an earsplitting yell. "Curse You Three Miceketeers!"

"So Gus, how did you reverse Ratco's spell?" asked Slicker. "Yeah, how did you reverse Ratco's spell?" asked Cheesy. As they walked back to town.

"I don't know I guess my glasses reflected his spell and it was used on him."

The three finally reached Mousetown. !t was returned to normal. There was a few seconds of silence. Then everybody, started cheering, laughing, smiling, hugging, and loving. Then there was silence. The mayor broke the silence with a speech. "I would like to thank you three for saving our town," announced the Mayor Jimmy Swiss "Please accept these medals as a token of our congrats."

"Thank you very much Mayor.

"No thank you for saving us from Ratco, we are forever in your debt."

The town partied til morning. Then The Three Miceketeers returned to the small cabin on top off be big hill which they called home.
