A Daughters Ambition

Chapter One the discovery

(AN I don't own sly cooper, i own the character moxie that's all have a good read everyone)

(My name is Moxie... Moxie Cooper I am the daughter of Carmalita Fox and Sly Cooper. I am not sure what has happened to Sly all I know is that my mom took me from him when I was little this is what I know they were partners in Interpol and that they fell in love and got married soon after I was born things began to start getting a little odd. So says my mom I think. Allow me to tell my tale with any and all who wish to listen where do i start... Well let's begin shall we.)

Flashback 17 years ago at the efliel tower

Placing a ring on her finger Sly proposed, " Carmalita, you have made an honest man out of me I have been on the right side of the law since we worked on the whole Vault case. What I am asking is will you marry me."

Looking at the ring Carmalita smiley answered, "Well my answer is yes Sly I will marry you on what condition you stop being a thief and keep that part of your life buried in the past along with your family's legacy I don't want our children knowing about that part of your life."

When the proposal was completed Sly and Carmalita were engaged several months they had their wedding in a church filled with incense and flowers, the couple stood beneath a silk canopy. A predecessor of the veil, a square of silk fabric,"carre" was held over the head of the bride and groom as the couple received the priest's final blessing. They were designed to protect the couple from descending malice.

Outside the church, rice or wheat was a symbol of prosperity and fertility, Sly and his wife were showered over as the wedding guests toss drag as and coins at children waiting on the doorsteps of the chapel Drag es were served at the reception as a French delicacy, almond covered with chocolate, sugar or nougat. As symbol of happiness and festivity, they accompany all major French ceremonies. As the bridal couple left the chapel, they walked through flower arch and over laurel leaves scattered in their path.

At the reception the music was beautiful as Carmalita and Sly danced the tango on the dance floor. Sly was a smooth dancer he made his wife float on air to the music. It was like the night when they danced during party when Cooper's gang stole the rare item of wings. Sly and Carmalita was the happiest couple in all of Paris. Things for the marriage were perfect with them going after criminals and dealing some pretty bad ass foes. Carmalita was promoted as head of her department and Sly was given a position under her jurisdiction. Sly's skills as a thief helped in nabbing lots of bad guys it was when they were married about three years that Carmalita revealed she was going to have a child. Sly was stunned that he told Bentley and Murray to hide any and all traces of his past in case his kid would come to ask mainly the thing to hide was the book of his family the Thievius Raccoonus and his cane. Sly hid whatever he could from his past, as she wanted. But that didn't stop him from using his skills as a good thief taking whatever was stolen from other thieves and returning to the rightful owners.

Five years later...

Looking at Sly, Carmalita yelled, "What the hell is this thing Sly?"

Scratching his head Sly responded, "Oh that... well that is gold coin that... i found for ... someone."

Hands on her hips Carmalita continued, "Look if you are stealing things please informs me. I don't need your bad habits rubbing off on our daughter. That girl is very impressionable at her age and we decided that we wouldn't expose her to your side of the family."

Flicking his cane Sly added, "Honey what family side I have. All of my family was killed remember all I had for family was Bentley and Murray, I haven't been in contact with them since we got married and FYI sweet heart the coin was stolen and it's to be returned to the rare coin director if you would be so kind to get it to him."

Taking the coin Carmalita nodded, "Fine I'll return but this is the last time for you to be stealing otherwise things aren't going to be so happy for us OK."

(from the corner of my room i would see my mom and dad fighting about what he was doing on his late nights off and why he was gone for several days. it was like all they did was fight sometimes i would sit u up in bed wondering why.)

Things had gone from happy to not so happy as Sly was again on the other side of the law using his skills for the use of trying to be the robin hood of the times of Paris. The people of Paris had seen him as a hero while Interpol thought of him as some sort of pain in the ass. Carmelita had gotten so fed up that it was time that she had to handle it.

Sly before leaving went to a hidden place in his daughter's room where he left something in a small box. Locking the box he thought let's hope she can find this and maybe she can talk to me when she's older. When he entered the living room he went to Moxie and placed a gold cane shaped locket and key on her neck and spoke "Moxie when you are older we will see each other again ok be good."

(and on my eighth birthday they split up mom packed dads stuff and told him to get out. the only thing dad left me was a strange cane shaped locket and key that i have never taken off. Not even to this day)

Present day location Paris France area Carmalita's House.

Down in the kitchen area Carmalita yelled, "Moxie it's time for breakfast. You need to eat so we can get you off to school honey."

Climbing down the stairs Moxie hummed a tune that she had heard while she sat down at the table for breakfast. Moxie was too thrilled on eggs and bacon but she ate it anyways.

At the table Moxie smiled, "Mom thanks for the meal. You must have a lot of things going on at the department concerning your latest case."

Sitting down Carmalita jested, "Yes dear i do. Now hurry up and get to the bus."

(As a kid I didn't understand why mom never spoke about dad and the reasons that they split up all I knew that deep in her heart she still loved dad. Since I am almost aged seventeen i think things for me are just going to get more complicated.)

When Moxie got home from school there was a strange note on her door saying "meet me at cafe signed ... someone you know..." Taking the note Moxie went to her room put her stuff away, then headed to the place. Moxie arrived at the cafe to see someone there she hadn't seen before a huge panda.

The large panda introduced, "my name is panda king and I have something for you."

Looking at the item Moxie wondered, "Mr. King what is this."

(I had to ask this large panda something so I could get my answers)

Panda king added, "That is something that you must find out yourself."

In a heap of smoke panda king was gone leaving Moxie even more confused at about what was too happened in the events ahead? When Moxie got home she headed to her room where something in her room began to glow.

(I looked into my room at every part of it seeing that things was normal then when this glowing showed up i began to get a little scared at what had revealed itself. a small place in my closet something told me to go to it and use my necklace. Taking my necklace off and placing the key into the key hole. I opened the keyhole to find something. Upon further observation it was a letter from my dad.)
