Oh, hello, what? She leaned forward as their mouse picked up speed following Finn's nudging, taking another left, then edging along a long straightaway. Not exactly the path Katy would have chosen for him, but he seemed well on his way to the goal.
"You'll have to pick a spot to settle the cheesecake. Try not to cross your own path if you can help it." Katy reached in and prompted the mouse left when it paused at a crossroad.

NICE.
Finn was already doing the cheesecake maneuvering, so now they just had to watch the mouse and hope for the best. "There he goes," Natalie said softly peering into the maze as he went around. "Good job, fake mousey..."

But then Professor Marchand informed them they had five minutes left. Five minutes!?
Why had he picked the slowest mouse??
He decided to leave the cheesecake maneuvering to Finn, the mouse nudging to Katy and instead joined Natalie with words of encouragement. They could be the mouse cheerleaders...
"Come on, Mousey. You're nearly there."
So Maxton had clearly picked the slowest mouse known to man. The poor thing had almost made it once through, but now they only had five minutes. And sure, the professor had told them they were doing great work, but still.
Fortunately, things were beginning to pick up. "
Hey, it made it!" Or.. he? she? It. "
Good job, little fake buddy." Halfway sarcastic thumbs up for the mouse. Finn was about to put the mouse back at the starting point, but then he paused. "
Er, think we need to run another cheesecake through for a stronger scent first?"
