"I think I recognize the little fella..." he says with a chuckle.
"We met by way of one of the Hawks, correct...except he was a mouse like yourself...correct? Well, I have to say, we must wrap up our conversation, as the witch seems to be drawing all those she's been in contact with to her hiding space. We must hurry and reach the others before time runs out!" he says as a portal opens to his left...

I smile and nod as I look up at Jonathan. "That's right," I squeaked. "It's so good to see you again, Jonathan. With all that's been going on around here, I'm glad to see you're still safe. The words had no sooner left my mouth when the portal opened. I'd thought that Jonathan must have opened it, but as I looked up at him and tried to gauge his expression, several doubts started to develop in my mind.

"Hmmm...interesting" Jonathan said as a hand suddenly burst forth from the portal and grasped onto you two, the force of this snapping the necklace on patricks neck, leaving it, and the tinified Giovanni behind with Jonathan.
Jonathan picks it up. "You want to help them, don't you?"
the tiny rat/cat looked up and squeaked "Honestly, I am more surprised than anyone by my answer ..Yes"

"Welcome Back, my old friend! Thank you ever so much for the help. You too Patrick!" Hugo said as he stood before you. "It so rare I see you as you normally are, my friend." he chuckled. "So, what do we want to do now?"

"Oh, you're most welcome, Lord Hugo," I said, shaking hands with him. "Welcome back to you too! What an amazing turn of events, and how wonderful that Anna is alive again." Lord Hugo smiled and nodded. I then looked myself over and chuckled. "Yes, it's been so long since I was both my right age and my right species, not to mention wearing clothes again."
"Oh that won't last for long, I'm sure," Patrick squeaked as he sat upon my shoulder.
I turned my head at him and grinned. "Certainly not around this place, especially with a sneaky little rascal like you," Patrick snorted in mock annoyance, but the big grin on his face left no doubt he was amused as well.
"Well, even though I've already spent a good deal of time here in the maze," I said as I returned my attention to Lord Hugo, "I'd like to do a bit more wandering about the maze. Would it be possible to have my wandering go in the direction toward the mansion?"

"I imagine so. Patrick, would you like to lead our friend here through the maze this time around?" Hugo asked of his dear mouse friend.
"I'd be honored." he said smiling.
"Then I think a change is needed. Dave, would you place the mouse on the ground?"

"Certainly," I replied as I held up my hand to my shoulder. Patrick stepped lightly onto my hand, and I then lowered him to the ground. He stepped off and went to stand by Lord Hugo.
I stood back up and grinned as I waited to see what change Lord Hugo had in mind.

Hugo pulled out from his jacket a wand, something he didn't use all that often, but when he did, it was mostly for show. he then tapped Patrick on each shoulder like a knighting ceremony, and then it happened. Patrick, in seconds shot up in size, and became very much...human.

Patrick was indeed very much human and very much naked. He stood there with a shocked look on his face, and frankly I must have look just as surprised. I never thought I'd ever see Patrick as a member of my species.
As he stood there speechless, I looked him over. Patrick looked quite good as a human. He stood only few inches over five feet tall, five foot three or four, I would guess, just a little shorter than my height. His brown hair matched the color of his now missing fur. He had a solid physique, with a bit of a tummy, though that looked pretty solid too.
Patrick continued to stand there with a shocked look on his face. Finally after looking himself over once more he stared at Lord Hugo, "I'm...I'm human! Lord Hugo, how could you do this to me?!" Patrick asked in a voice to match his shocked look.
"Er, before you answer that, Lord Hugo," I said. "Maybe you ought to magic up some clothes for Patrick? You never know when one of the other guests might come around the corner."
"No!" Patrick shouted. "Being human is bad enough, but I absolutely refuse to wear clothes!"

"Oh, stuff it..." Hugo said chuckling, snapping his fingers causing new clothes to form on Patrick. "You need to experience new things..."

In an instant the now human Patrick was dressed in a pair of khaki trousers, polo shirt and sandals. He looked himself over and then returned is icy gaze toward Lord Hugo. "I am well able to make my *own* decisions about what I want to experience," the former mouse said with an air of disdain.
I patted Patrick on the shoulder. "Oh, come on, Patrick, don't be such a grouch. It's not like you'll be human for very long, anyway, not around this place anyway."
Patrick let out a deep sigh and nodded. "Well, that's true, thank goodness. I'd hate to be stuck like this."
Now it was my turn to glare at Patrick. "Oh? And just what's so terrible about being human?" I said as I folded my arms.
"Indeed," added Lord Hugo as he came up beside me, his arms folded as well. "Just what's so wrong about being human?"
Patrick gulped and looked a bit embarrassed. "Oh, why nothing that terrible, I mean if you like being so ridiculously tall, nearly hairless and not having a beautiful tail," he said in a rush of words. He then grimaced as he realized he was just making things worse for himself. Shaking his head, Patrick took my arm and started leading me down the maze. "Oh, come on. Let's see if we can find something to at least shrink me down to size so I can go back to my den and get a piece of cheese."

"Well, have fun, or at least...try to have fun, Patrick. I don't want a disaster like last time"

Patrick just grunted as we rounded the corner and headed down one of the mazes many lanes.
"What disaster was that?" I asked as we continued walking.
Patrick grunted again before finally answering. "Oh it was nothing. Just a little mishap when I was first learning how to make potions. It wasn't that bad, and it wasn't like it was permanent. It wore off after a couple of days."
"But what was it?" I said, very curious now.
Patrick just shook his head and grumbled. "Never mind, I'd just as soon forget it. I would, too, if Lord Hugo would let me."
I thought about asking again, but it was clear from Patrick's expression that he did not want to talk about it anymore.
We turned down another lane. After only a few steps, Patrick let go of my arm and dropped to the ground. "What in the world are you doing?" I asked. This seemed pretty strange behavior, even for Patrick.
"Trying to get my bearings," he said as he looked up from the ground. "Human noses are lousy for picking up scents. I've got to try and see if I can figure out where I am if I try seeing things from a mouse-sized view."
Before I could make any comment, Patrick stood up again and grabbed my arm. "This way!" he cried as we hurried down the lane.
We made a couple more turns. It was surprising that Patrick had managed to figure out where he was from just that one look. But then he'd been wandering around the maze a lot more than I had.
"Ah, at last!" Patrick said with a grin, the first he'd had since he'd been turned into a human. We'd just turned down another lane and found a small table sitting in the middle of the path. On top of the table were several small bottles, all of them with a note attached. Patrick picked up a couple of the bottles and handed one to me. I was not surprised to find that the note read "Drink Me."
"Well, are you just gonna stand there staring at the note, or are you gonna do what it says?" asked Patrick, as he wiped off his mouth. He'd already had finished off the contents of his bottle, and was starting to shrink. "Don't tell me you want to stay this tall?" he said, grinning, as he dwindled further down into his clothes.
"Not a chance," I said as I popped the cork from the bottle and drained the contents. "Hey, that tastes pretty good," I said as I started feeling that familiar, sensual tingle run through my body, my clothes immediately becoming lose on me as I started to shrink.

"Of course it does. I made it" Patrick says, sounding very satisfied with himself as his human clothes engulfed him.
"Best stuff in the whole of the Maze"

Patrick wriggled his shoulders, causing his shirt to fall off his shoulders and join his pants and briefs on the ground. "Ah, that's much better. Good to feel the air on my...skin. Gah! I'll be glad when I'm a mouse again!" he said, his voice already starting to sound squeaky.
The former mouse was right, that potion was delicious. Patrick was now about two feet tall and, while I was just nearing eye level with the top edge of the table. "You might have made it too good," I said as I eyed the bottles still on the table. "I'd love to take have another one of those potions."
"You sure about that, Dave?" Patrick asked. "Another one of those bottles and you'll be ant sized. Heck, you'll be small enough to ride an ant!"
I didn't want to get that small. But that potion was so good. The table edge was rising above my eye level. If I waited much longer that delicious potion would be out of reach! I just had to have some more of it. Shrugging off my shirt and standing up on tiptoe, I just managed to snag another one of the bottles before it was out of reach.
Before Patrick could protest, I'd flipped the cork out of the bottle and quickly downed the bottle.
"Oh yeah, that's delicious!" I said as I wiped my mouth. Before I could say anything else, my tummy rumbled, and I suddenly found myself on the express shrink. One moment the world was gradually expanding around me, the next I was standing in the middle of a wide field of white fabric that was my shirt. I gasped as I looked around at the grass that now towered overhead like green sequoia trees.
A little slow perhaps, but I finally started to wonder if this had been such a good idea. I started to climb to the edge of my shirt to see if I could find Patrick, when his looming face peered over the neckhole. Even though Patrick was now back to his normal, tiny size, he looked gigantic to me.
"This seems familiar," a squeaky Patrick said as he looked down at me. "The first time we met you were naked and the size of a bug."
