Here we go guys. Sly and Neyla won't be doing much in this chapter. But at the end, they'll finally meet their new genius. I hope you like the chapter. Anyway back to the story guys.

Sly was the first to wake up. He looked at the beautiful tigress lying next to him and smiled. He ran his hand through her hair lightly so he didn't wake her. He thought about what they did last night and thought that it was the greatest night of his life. Sly then kissed her forehead and Neyla stirred.

Once Neyla woke up, she smiled. "Did you enjoy what we did last night, my Ringtail?" Neyla asked licking her lips seductively.

"It was the greatest thing to ever happen to me, Neyla. So, what do you want to do today?" Sly asked.

Neyla got on top of Sly and kissed him. When she broke the kiss, she straddled his waist. "I'd hoped that we could mate again, Ringtail. Even though it was just a couple of hours ago, I'm so eager to feel you inside me again." Neyla said.

Sly moaned from Neyla's actions but sat up and kissed her. "How about we mate again when it's evening time, my love?"

"My love," that feels great coming from you, my sexy Raccoon. But why can't we just stay in bed and mate all day? The ACES competition isn't for a few months and, as I told you, I'm eager to feel you inside me again." Neyla said.

"Well, we could stay in bed as we are for the whole day and watch a movie. Maybe we could order a pizza for dinner tonight and after that, we can mate the night away. Does that work for you?" Sly asked.

Neyla kissed Sly deeply and passionately. "Deal, Ringtail. When the clock strikes midnight, we're going to stop everything that we do and mate like the animals we are.

"How about we get some breakfast, beautiful tigress?" Sly asked.

"Well, I think I can make us some pancakes and bacon. I'll make us breakfast, you stay here and find us something to watch, but don't get dressed, Ringtail." Neyla said getting out of bed and walking to the closet seductively. She put on her robe and went to the kitchen. After getting what she needed to make pancakes and bacon, she started cooking. She cooked the pancakes first and cooked the bacon next. After they were ready, Neyla got two plates put the pancakes and bacon on them, put syrup on the pancakes and poured them some red fruit punch juice for them to drink. When she returned, Sly had found a movie called The Hitman's Bodyguard and put it in for them to watch.

"Here you are, Ringtail, pancakes and bacon and fruit punch juice." Neyla said putting Sly's plate on his lap. Neyla put her plate on the nightstand, took off her robe and got on the bed with her plate. Once they were settled, Sly played the movie. They began eating as the movie played.

"Mmmm, this is really good, Neyla. You're as good as me when it comes to cooking." Sly said kissing Neyla's cheek.

"Thank you so much, Sly. Maybe we could take turns cooking on some days." Neyla said.

"I'd like that very much, Neyla." Sly said.

They finished their breakfast and Sly took the plates to the sink, came back to bed and snuggled up close to Neyla. They laid in bed for most of the day, with the exception of taking a few trips to the bathroom and getting another movie to watch. Noon came around and it was time to order their pizza. Neyla called the pizza place and ordered a pepperoni and sausage pizza. In 30 minutes, the pizza finally arrived. Sly put on his robe, went to the door and got the pizza. Once Sly brought it to their room, they began eating it while watching The Defenders and the Punisher Netflix shows. When the shows were over, midnight had finally came. Neyla then turned off the TV and got on top of Sly.

"Time for our next round, Ringtail." Neyla said putting Sly's hands on her breasts.

"Well, we did have a deal, beautiful tigress, and like you said: you're very eager to feel me inside you again." Sly said. Rubbing and squeezing Neyla's breasts, making her moan in pleasure.

"And I'm very eager to experience a full night of pleasure, my handsome Ringtail. And I'll make sure that we both get equal pleasure from this." Neyla said as she leaned down and kissed Sly.

Two and a half hours later

Sly and Neyla had just got through their third round of mating. When they got through, they laid down in each other's arms, totally exhausted from all of the fun they had. Neyla then snuggled up close to Sly and hugged him tightly. "That...was incredible, Sly." Neyla said as she started falling asleep.

"Glad I could make it pleasurable for you, my beautiful tigress." Sly said as he sniffed Neyla's hair enjoying the scent.

"So, what are we going to do when we enter the ACES competition, Sly?" Neyla asked.

"We'll just have to make it up as we go along, Neyla. But if we win, we'll get our new genie and we'll be one step closer to finding out what the greatest treasure of the Cooper Clan is." Sly said.

"I can't wait, Sly. But for now, let's get some rest. Goodnight Sly." Neyla said giving Sly one final kiss.

"Goodnight Neyla." Sly said falling asleep as well.

Two months later

Sly and Neyla got an email from Dimitri, saying that the Aces competition was starting in one week and that he had talked to Penelope about their plane. Penelope had agreed to have a plane and hanger ready for them and had been working on them for the last two months, which she had installed security systems in since the other teams were known for sabotaging each other. Sly and Neyla emailed Dimitri back, telling him that they would be on the next flight to Holland and would meet up with him and Penelope when they arrived. Dimitri told them that they would be waiting for them at the hotel where all the pilots slept. They got their things together, including some equipment that Neyla thought they might need while they were in Holland. They also got their pilot license the fastest way possible: by sealing them. Neyla had managed to make the licenses look like they were theirs by changing the names and pictures. They then got their plane tickets and got on the flight to Holland. When the plane landed, Sly and Neyla set up a safe house and headed to the hotel. Once they got there, they were greeted by Dimitri and Penelope.

"Cracker box Cooper, Kitty cat Neyla, good to see you again." Dimitri said.

"Hello Dimitri. And you must be Penelope, right?" Sly asked.

"The one and only, and I've looked forward to meeting you and your gang for a very long time now. I've heard so many things about you and your friends." Penelope said before she noticed that two people were missing. "Where's your gang, Sly? I thought you had a genius named Bentley and a strong guy named Murray?"

Sly wanted to explain what happened to them but he couldn't bring himself to say anything. Neyla could see the sad look on her lover's face and spoke for him. "You won't be seeing those two, they're out of the picture. Some time ago, Sly and his old gang faced the Klaww gang to destroy the Clockwerk parts and when they were finally destroyed, the turtle and hippo left Sly without even telling him goodbye in person. In short, they abandoned him." Neyla said as she pulled Sly into a tight hug.

"Wait, you're Neyla. The one who betrayed Interpol and was secretly working with the Klaww gang. Why are you with Sly Cooper, and why are you showing him affection?" Penelope asked.

"It's extremely complicated, Penelope. But the short version is that I'm not with the Klaww gang anymore and I'm am sticking with Sly because I'm all he has left." Neyla said.

"So that is why Dimitri did not see turtle and hippo in Venice when you freed me." Dimitri said a little sadness.

"Yeah, but me and Neyla were hoping that you could join us, Penelope, since Bentley is gone, we're in need of a new genius. We've read on your ThiefNet page that you're quite the expert in RC choppers and cars, inventing and hacking. So we think you'll fit into our new gang just fine." Sly said.

"Well, I only work for the best. And right now, "the best" is my boss: the Black Baron. But if you and Neyla can win this year's competition and beat the Black Baron at his own game, I'll gladly join you and your new gang on your future heists." Penelope said.

"You've got yourself a deal, Penelope. I assume you've talked to your boss and told him about us?" Neyla asked.

"Of course I have. He knows everything and he even gave me permission to set up your plane and hanger. They're all ready for you now. Would you like to see it?" Penelope asked.

"Of course, Penelope." Sly said.

Penelope led them to their personal hanger and showed them their plane, which was blue and had the Cooper logo painted on it very neatly. Penelope also told them about the security systems that she installed in the hanger in case any of the other teams try to sabotage them. "So, what do you guys think?" Penelope asked.

"The plane looks great Penelope. I think you'll make a great addition to the new Cooper gang." Sly said.

"And thanks for the security systems, Penelope. We really appreciate your help." Neyla said.

"Your both very welcome. I hope you guys win the competition this year, it would be a really good honor to join your new gang. But in the meantime, just enjoy yourselves and do want you need to do to prepare." Penelope said.

"Ok. The competition is next week, so me and Neyla have plenty of time to prepare ourselves." Sly said.

"Great. Well, I have to go see the Black Baron and let him know you've arrived. But if you need any help with something, just call me and I'll be there." Penelope said walking away.

"Um, Cracker box Cooper, how's your shoulder?" Dimitri asked.

"It's fully healed now. Thanks Dimitri." Sly said.

"That good news, but, the two of you should know something: Crazy Cop lady is coming here. I heard that one of interpols most wanted is here and they've sent her to deal with him." Dimitri said.

"We'll try to keep away from her. But before we leave Holland, I have unfinished business with that bitch." Neyla said.

"Let's just try to avoid Carmelita until the time comes, Neyla. Besides, after what she did to me, I'm not in such a hurry to see her again." Sly said.

"Will you be around for the competition, Dimitri?" Neyla asked.

"Dimitri is going to give color commentary for competition, Kitty cat Neyla." Dimitri said.

"Good, because we might need you for something, Dimitri." Sly said.

"Well, me and Sly are going to get some sleep, Dimitri. We've had a long flight and need to get some rest. We'll come see you the night before the competition starts." Neyla said as she walked away with Sly and headed to their safe house to get some rest and prepare for the upcoming competition.

There you go guys. I had a change in plans and wanted this to be a prelude to the competition. But don't worry, the competition chapter will be great. It will have Penelope joining Sly and Neyla and becoming the new Brians of the new Cooper gang. It will also have the fight with a certain Bulldog and Neyla's revenge on a certain Fox. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I'll see you all next time, guys.
