"Yay! We are the boss now."
"Let's hurry to go to the warehouse and steal the rice quickly."
Whispering, the mice came out from the floor board.
"Oops! CAT!"
The very front mouse shrinked with fear.
"Shhh, He's sleeping."
They crept passed the cat.

"Meow! You Naughty Ones!"
"Imma eat you ALL!"
Opening its eyes wide, the cat sprang out!
"Oh My! *Squeak* *Squeak* *Squeak*"
Mice ran away madly.
Comment:
I liked today's translation.
The expressions just came to me right away.
I tried to be in mice's position and cat's position.
In mice's position, I felt both fear and thrill.
On the other hand, I felt a strong and authoritative aspect in the cat.
While I was translating, I tried to use common expressions used in spoken language of U.S.
For example, "We are the boss now." it is common to use in school among students.
I used "Imma" to connect the saying more fluently.
Necessarily, I looked through many example sentences. I picked the most suitable ones.
This time, it was hard to describe character's action in a short and impactive way.
But, I tried to think of the word most people can agree with.
