Title: The Beloved
Form/Word Count: 100
Characters/Pairing:  Dr Watson, Mouselet, Aemelia Vole, Ferret
Rating: G
Warning/Content: How could the theme be 'Heart' and no mention be made of the Ferret?

 

“The Ferret’s in love again,” Mouselet told Dr Watson.

“Who is the poor unfortunate who is currently suffering his amorous attentions?” the doctor asked.

“It’s a young weasel,” Aemelia replied.

“He took her for a moonlit walk last night,” Mouselet added.

“But it was thick cloud,” Dr Watson objected.

“And a new moon,” Aemelia agreed.

At that moment the door opened, and Inspectors Lestrade and Hopkins entered with Holmes.  Both small rodents sighed and instantly turned their attention elsewhere.

Watson wasn’t upset.  They might laugh good-naturedly at the Ferret, but their own hearts were engaged as much as his was.

They might laugh good-naturedly at the Ferret, but their own hearts were engaged as much as his was. You know, I had never thought about this before - of course Mouselet and Aemelia are just as soppy as the Ferret ^___^

And the Ferret is perhaps being rather brave. The little mice are content to admire from afar, but the Ferret is actually risking making a fool of himself in the hope of gaining a proper relationship.

Oh yes, Mouselet and Aemelia are similarly lovestruck.

The Ferret is just being himself - he throws himself into whatever he's doing, sometimes literally, and most would call it foolhardy ;)
