Prologue


A fox and raccoon stood on a balcony of a large building. The fox's name was Carmelita Fox. She's been chasing Cooper for years when he was a thief, but due to a freak accident, he lost his memory and she was able to make him think he was her partner, Constable Cooper.

The raccoon's name was Sly Cooper. He comes from a long line of Master Thieves, dating back hundreds of years. During his childhood, his family was attacked by a group of thieves called the Fiendish Five. They were after the Thievius Raccoonous, a book that held the secrets of how his ancestors became Master Thieves. His father did his best to stop them but he was eventually overwhelmed and Sly had to go to an orphanage. This is where he met his lifelong friends, Bentley and Murray. They've been together ever since, starting off from stealing cookies to nabbing jewels. They've suffered some losses starting with Bentley becoming paralyzed from the waist down to Murray quitting the team for awhile, but they've had ups as well. Their team grew with more and more people, starting with Penelope.

Penelope is a technician just like Bentley, who has a crush on her. Her gadgets have helped the group in the past and will probably aid them in the near-future.

Two members of the team were very unpredicted. The Panda King was a member of the Fiendish Five who joined the gang after they helped save his daughter, Jing King from General Tsao. Another member of the team was from the Klaww Gang, Dimitri. He joined after he helped him retrieve his grandfather's scuba gear from Blood Bath Bay. Another recruit to the team was Murray's teacher in the Dreaming, The Guru. He used his powers to take control of someone when needed and could ram them into something. Now those days are over... or are they?

"Sly? Why did you bring me out here?" Carmelita asked. She was wearing a sparkling black dress and her midnight blue hair was pulled into a ponytail that stood atop her head.

"Because there's something I have to tell you," Sly answered, looking towards the ground. "Carmelita, I faked amnesia back on Kaine Island." He said.

Carmelita couldn't believer her ears. Sly lied to her. Wait, maybe he was joking. Maybe he's just trying to trick me into doing something for him. Maybe... he's right. Millions of emotions swirled through her head like a tornado. Anger sadness frustration... all of these and more ran through her head.

"And why did you do that? Thinking getting on my good side would stop me from chasing you?" She asked, showing no signs of emotion besides her internal feelings.

"No, that's not it. Everytime we've met it's been the same thing, Thief and cop thief and cop. Right now we're equals." Sly answered.

Carmelita was now slightly less angry, but her curiosity spiked to unbelievable levels.

"Alright. So what did you want to tell me?" She asked.

"Carmelita, I love you. Since the first time I saw you, but I was never able to tell you until now," Sly answered. Carmelita opened her eyes wide as she stared at Sly. Sly reached over and kissed her on the cheek. "But I have to keep up my family's legacy, so if we meet again, we'll be thief and cop," he said, already halfway off the ledge. He then leapt and dashed off across the rooftops of Paris. But unknown to him, Carmelita had a tear running down her cheek and she whispered, "I love you, too".
