The method of 'time signatures' developed in previous papers has been applied to study photometric microvariability in AT Mic immediately following a small flare. Quasi-periodic 8-s and 13-s fluctuations were detected 10-15 min after peak light. The 13-s quasi-period arises from the first half of this time interval, and has now been detected in three dMe stars, V 468 Tau, V 1285 Aql and AT Mic. These results are compared with previously reported time signatures in other flare stars. Their possible dependence on the X-ray and Mg II k-line emission line surface fluxes is investigated. For six dMe stars, an approximate power law is derived for the TS versus F(x) relation valid at the 89-percent confidence level.
