Sally was going for a walk. It was a nice sunny summery day and it was warm and she was walking in her new dress that Montparnasse bought her. And the dress was blue. It sparkled a lot when she walked but the sun was hitting it like the sky at night. Everybody looked at her when she walked by because she looked so pretty and stunning in the dress but Sally didn't notice. Sally was going to meet Montparnasse at the mall where he and his friends were hanging out.

When she got to the mall she saw Montparnasse and his friends Brujon Babet and Clacksous! And they were all joking around and being like big boys with each other. Some girls walked by and they whistled at them. Montparnasse looked uncomfortable but then he noticed Sally and his whole face lit up like the sunshine. His green eyes glittered like drew on the new fresh leaves of springs.

Sally almost said "Montparnasse!" but then she noticed a cop running toward him. The cop was kind of old and had really giant sideburns and a long blue trenchcoat and a top hat and a nightstick. He looked meanly at Montparnasse and his friends and said "You are all thieves and murderers! I arrest you in the name of France and God!"

SALLY GASPED! Could it be true that Montparnasse and his friends were all theives and murderers? She felt tears come to her lavendar eyes!

"I don't want to talk aobut it!" Sally wept. She turned and fled in sadness! Hot tears wept down her cheeks as she ran from the scene wishing that it had never been and knowing that it had to be! She loved Montparnasse, she knew that now, but he wasn't the person she thought he was but he was! Because she knew him now! She knew who he was, she just knew it! He could change, she knew he could, or else her heart would break into A THOUSAND PEICES! She tripped and fell on the hem of her shiny blew dress and it tripped open down the front.

She was in a dark alley. "Hey there lovely lady!" said a voice in a dark forboding tone. "What are you doing in this nest of chease and vipers?"

Sally looked up. There was a man there... there were more than one man there. It was four! They were ugly and fat and one of them had a big moustache! They smelled like ale and cheese and bacom. "I- I- I-" stuttered Sally "What are you doing here??"

"We just came from the bar down the corner. Wanna come join us for a good time??"

"I can't right now I have problems I'm sorting out and you wouldn't understand! No one uniderstands me because I'm different and you're fat. What do you want from me?"

"You know what we want" said the man looking at her ripped open dress down the front.

She looked down and noticed that her dress was ripped down the front. Her bra was showing! She was even wearing her new red one and now the men could all look at it because her dress was ripped down the front. "WAHHHHHHHH" she cried.

Moving closer to her the men walked up. All of a sudden she heard a high-pitched whinny! Coming around the corner was a horse-drawn carriage! It was soo pretty and there was a handsome young man on the front. It was Montparnasse!

"What are you doing??" he screamed, jumping out of the carriage on top of one of the men. He pulled out his tie and used it to strangle one of the men.

tHE OTHERS STARED AT HIM IN FEAR!!! "What are you doing Montparnasse?" they asked worriedly. "I thought we wer eall going to have a good time with this here lovely lady. You can join us if you want to join us in having a good time!"

Montparnasse said "NO! He moved protectively in front of Sally to shield her from the three men and the one that was dead. He tossed her his tuxedo to put on so she could cover up. "You think you can run around and go touching and kidnapping women just because you are so tough but you can't do just anything you want! Some times you have to do the right thing like especially when it's someone like Sally. She is good and pure and you're going to ruin EVERYTHING! That's why I just now killed Pierre."

Sally's heart exploded! The love was coming out of her in waves of passionate glory. She fainted from the passion and the realisatoin that her Montparnasse killed a man for her! She did not agree with people killing people but if he killed people out of love for her then that might be okay. It was self-defense.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sally woke up and saw a beautiful face hovering over hers with worry. There were two giant green orbs filled with seaglass mystery and compassionship and she knew who it was immediately. There were also pretty lips that opened with a sound of happiness when she opened her eyes and she heard Montparnasse's golden voice. And pretty hair.

"Sally! TRhanks goodness you'r alive! I was so worried when you passed out, but I too have been passed out in parts of my life and I knew you wouldn't want to wake up alonme in an alley so I lifted you up in my arms and carried you back to my house in the woods and now you are lying on my bearskin rug where it is safe."

Sally looked up at him with her eyes spearkling. She was so happy she finally found someone who understood her but then everything that happened came rushing back to her in a big flood of pain and she had to yell out "WHY ARE YOU A THIEF?" said Sally.

Montparnasse's face collapsed in sadness. "I always was a thief. This is what I am!"

"But you don't have to be! It's not like being like me where you always have to have a tail unless you found a magical amulet. You can go to that thing I hear is called school and do something productive with your life."

"But this is my fat! I was born to this life of crime and sin. It's is my destiny! Besdies, I am too deep in blood to swim to safeyt now."

"What do you mean?" said Sally.

His face saddened even more if that was even possible. She had never seen him this sad before in all the time she had known him.

MONTPRANASSE'S POV

Sally was right. My whole life was a lie of murder and horrible deeds that followed me wherever I went like dark shadows and ghosts in alleyways, like Halloween every day. The poison of the things I had done was like a pestilence seeping upon my life. It seeped upon my very self until I couldn't tell who I was anymore... but then, this bright light shonme through, pink scales, beautiful things that could happen to me!~ I wasn't alone! There was someone who would be there... smiling up at me... no matter what I did, I knew, looking into her lavendar eyes filled with compassionship that I could trust her completely! In that moment I was change.d Even though I didn't notice until later I was a new man.

I would go to school and listen to Sally.

~~~~~~~**~~~~//

Montparnasse smiled down at Sally, a real one this tme, that was full of happiness. The first real happy smile that he had ever really done. And he knew that this smile was not going to e the last. It was the first in a new life of smiles. And it all started with one word=

"Okay Sally."

The next morning they registered for classes to be a lawyer and a doctor.
