(Narrated by Bentley)

Chapter 1: The Sly Smile

It had taken a rough five years of intense development, but we'd done it. Penelope and I had successfully completed our time machine...or so we thought...

Here's where the problems started: January 1st, approximately three hours and fifty seven minutes after the new year had stepped upon us, Penelope and I finished up our time machine. What a way to kick off the year, huh? She gave me the widest smile I'd ever seen anybody make.

"Well Bentley, we did it..."

"Yes we did. And at the perfect time too"

"Shame though...I didn't get to kiss you at midnight..."

She began to blush. I wheeled myself over to her position and kissed her.

"Better late than never, right?"

Her face lit up.

"Of course!"

Over the years I'd been secretly "checking up" on Sly. He had been with Carmelita for five years now, without any communication to me, or anyone else formerly in the gang. My theories had been proven incorrect. I was in such a state of denial, due to his departure from the gang, that I'd made these out of the ordinary theories: The amnesia was only temporary, he was faking just to find out how things would work, and that he'd soon remember. Well now they've been proven wrong...and I was upset.

Though I have been able to keep in touch with Murray. He ranked 1 in the Pro-Racing Circuit of the years 2006,7,and 2009, however, he had to cut it short and leave the circuit for a never responded to me via Thief net, like usual, so I never knew the reason.

Tonight I figured I'd check up on him, just to see my old friend. I managed to get to the roof of the building across from their home. I veered across via my binnocucom.

Sly and Carmelita were out on the balcony, hands intertwined.

After a few seconds of stalking, I decided to leave, but I waited for some reason. At that instant, Sly turned toward my position, and smiled. He winked as well. He winked...WINKED!

I could only shake my head.

"That sneaky devil!"

I leaped off of the rooftop and headed back to mine and Penelope's workshop, I wanted to know something, and what better way to find out, than a test-drive?

Hope you like it...this story, as I mentioned in the summary, Bentley, Penelope, and Levi (My OC) are the main characters, so don't get to thinking you're going to see Sly or Murray any time soon...
