Her apartment now had a little weight set in it, a whole bunch of edited pictures of her and Cooper hanging on the walls and seleves, a new plasma screen TV, a bunch of new clothes, and a king size bed for two.

"Jeez," Carmelita thought "Did Barkley get everthing?"

Just then the phone rang, Sly picked it up

"Hello?" Sly said

The guy on the phone talked

"It's for you," Sly said to Carmelita

"Hello?" Carmelita said talking to whoever was on the phone, it was Barkley

"Carmelita," Barkley began "I hope you're not to suprised by the changes to your home,"

"Uh, no not realy," Carmelita said

"Oh and don't worry, we've made up a police profile for Cooper," Barkley said

"Great," Carmelita said

"Yes, hopefully that ringtail still has some of his skills, he'll make a great addition to the force," Barkley said

"I'm sure to," Carmelita said "Bye,"

Se hung up the phone, and then noticed Cooper looking at all the pictures, of course he knew they were all fake. One was of when Carmelita busted Mugsoft in Mesa City, she was stading there with the big dog cuffed, and Sly had been digitaly placed into the picture. It was rather covincing, if anyone else were looking at it, or anyone of the other pics for that matter it definely would fool them.

"Wow, we must've done some really big jobs," Sly said

"You have no idea," Carmelita said

"He what's this one?" Sly asked noticing a very familar post card. It was the wish you were here card Sy had given to her when he and the gang beat that pirate guy and save Penelope.

"Oh that?" Carmelita said freaking out "That was...when you went on vacation to...Hawaii, ya. I was sick so I could'nt come with you,"

"Oh," Sly said

Just then a clock showed that it was already 10:45pm

"Whoa it's late," Sly said

"Ya, guess we better get to bed," Carmelita said

And with that they got on some swet pants and T-shirts an crashed in Carmeitas new bed. Although this felt very strange for both of them.

For Carmelita it was like she was breaking every rule as a cop. She was sleeping with a criminal, plus it was a crminal that had the hotts for her.

"Good thing he's lost his memory," she thought, thinking that if this was the Cooper she used to know that'd he get alittle..."freaky"

As for Sly, this was his biggest dream, and his goal. To finally be with Carmelita. He was happy, yet also ad that he had give up his life long friends, his newly made gang, even the Cooper familes theivious racoonus.

"Would my family be upset about this?" Sly thought just then realizing what he had done. He had now possibly ended his family's legacy. I mean how would it work? Sly now a former thief gone cop, and now maybe marrying a cop, how could it work?

"Maybe I can just use the same trick Conessa used," he said "But hat if Carmelita found out? She'd freak. We'd have made good honest children and now I'd be molding them into the one thing that she's honor bound to stop. And I don't even have the book, or cane anymore, Bently dose."

Out of all the things Sly had faced in his life, truly this would be his greatest challenge.

"Boy imagine what future generations of Coopers will say about me if this works," Sly thought

Cooper had a lot on his mind now, but knew he had to focus on the tasks at hand. Tomarrow would be his first day as Sly Cooper, the Inspector. No doubt Carmelita would probably want to see if he still had some of his skills left.

Sly shut his eyes and tried to sleep, he'd need his energy for the day ahead.


Okay, going to try and kick up the Carmelita and Sly romace a bit in the next 1

She's going to teach him how to swim :)

Should I add some "Meanwhile with Bently and Murray..?"
