A/N: Had to write most of the story before finally coming up with a title for it. I wanted to post this really bad, so throughout the weekend I spent a lot of time writing this fic. Got up to the thirteenth chapter LOL...two chapters more and I'll be done! I've to proofread still, since there are some stuff I think I might have problems with. Oh yeah, about the address, I saw a lot of fanfics having that address so I just decided to input that. Anyway, I hope you like this fic, and make sure to review!
Oh, and by the way, I don't own Sweeney Todd...at all.
I. Hopefully
It was time for that moment again. It was time for them to move, and he didn't like it one bit. This was the third time this has happened, and he hoped for it to be the last. He liked his old home; he didn't want to leave and have to make new friends again. Unfortunately, times were becoming quite hard at Southampton; they had no choice but to leave. Hopefully this was the last time. Hopefully.
The carriage stopped at 186 Fleet Street – at a shop, which bore the sign, "Mrs. Lovett's Meat Pies". He wondered why they were at a pie emporium for a moment, and realized that the place wasn't just a pie shop; it was also a house – a house, where they will be taking residence. They were greeted by a red-haired woman and another younger one with black hair (the landlady and her daughter, he assumed), who escorted them inside. As he looked around, he tried telling himself that everything will be alright; that they'll be able to get by; that they won't have to move away again.
Suddenly a small girl called out to him, interrupting his thoughts. This girl looked just about the same age as him, and like the woman from before, she had red waves as well.
"So you must be the one my mum's been talking about. The ones going to live upstairs?" she queried curiously.
He nodded.
"I see," she mused. A friendly smile then appeared on her face as she held out her hand. "I'm Nellie! You?"
"Ben," he replied, shaking the hand she offered.
"Wanna help me put worms in Millicent's closet?"
"Pardon?"
"Millicent's my older sister. Acts too much of a girl, she does! She thinks she knows everything," she explained with a disgusted look on her face, which disappeared quickly when she asked him once again, "so you wanna help me or not? It'll be fun."
He smiled. "Sure, why not?"
Perhaps moving to this new residence wasn't such a bad thing. But hopefully…hopefully this was the last move they'd have to make.
So whatcha think? Review, please! See ya next chapter =)
