Thank you to you guys that reviewed. I love reading the reviews :) In this chappie it's just breakfast and then it skips to when the gang are waiting for Scipio. Btw: Before you ask, Scipio did mention a raid...hm? Well sinse the money the Count gave was fake they have to make a living doing something. No, the gang refused to let Scipio steal anymore items from his dad, eventhough hedgehog was completely okay with it. Vera doesn't meet Victor nor Ida until...im not sure but it'll be soon. Hhah well this is Chapter 2, Family. Enjoy!

Vera still didn't know where Scipio went and by now she was worrying.

He did say he was a thief. She thought. What if they caught him? By they she meant the police. She was laying down on a soft matress next to Hornet's book moutain.

She looked to her right and saw Prosper and Bo sleeping soundly.

Haven't they noticed Scipio isn't here? She was meaning to ask where he went, the previous night during dinner, but she was attacked by questioins before she even sat down. They were mostly about where she lived and who she was.

She ound herself to be more like Prosper than she imagined. Mentally, of course, because physically they were nothing a like. The only similarity was, as Hornet pointed out, Bo's eyes. Their father's eyes.

She sighed. Maybe he stays elsewhere? Perhaps, he's off stealing right now? Heavens knows why she worries too much but there's no dought she cares for the stranger.

It's been an hour sinse she's been awake and she's bored. She shifts to her left but hears a noise downstairs.

Scipio! She mentally yells and quietly runs downstairs. She looks back and smiles pproudly at how she didn't make any noise what so-

Bump.

She looked up from where she fell and saw Mosca.

"Sorry." She whispered.

"No, im sorry. Should have seen where I was going." He extended his hand.

She took it and stood up,"Me too."

"So, what are you doing up so early?"

"I was about to ask you the same question, Mosca."

"I asked you first."

"Yes and that was very rude. Haven't you heard of 'Ladies First'?" She mentally smiled, remembering her encounter with Scipio.

"Ah, well if you must know I was hungry, so I snuck a few biscuits. Want one?" He said offering a small biscuit.

She gently shook her head,"No thanks. Mosca, where's Scipio?"

Her eyes widen, did she really ask that? She didn't mean to!

"Home, probably."

She frowned,"He doesn't live here?"

"Nope," He said popping the p."His father's some rich doctor."

"Doctor eh?"

"Yeah." He yawned,"Im going to take a nap. See ya V."

"Goodbye."

He walked the flight of stairs. She ran down to the stage. She looked at the seats. It had always been her dream to sing in a theater...But some dreams weren't meant to come true.

After everyone woke up, Vera insisted on making breakfast. Hornet, who was too tired from a late night's story, agreed.

They sat eating.

"So, where's tonight's raid?" Prosper broke the silence.

"The Thief Lord said by the bays. A wealthy man just moved in a manor and has a lot of valuable junk." Hornet answered.

"Does he have a family?"

"No, jjust dogs. And lots of 'em."

"I hate dogs!" Bo pouted.

"Good. Because you aren't going. Hornet agreed to stay with you and hedgehog, and maybe Vera." Prosper looked at Vera.

"Excuse me?" She was confused.

"Are you going to want to go with us on the raid?" Mosca asked.

"A raid? Sure, sounds...interesting."

"Excelent!"

"Tonight we leave at eight. Hornet, Bo, and Hedgehog will stay."

That's when the arguing from Bo and Hedgehog began...

8:00p.m.

The gang stood there waiting for the Thief Lord.

"So, you have a boyfriend?" Mosca asked Vera.

Prosper growled at him.

"Just a question, jeez!" He looked away.

Vera simply stood staring at the horizon. She walked a little farther and left Mosca and Prosper behind.

She thought she heard footsteps but when she turned she saw nothing. So she turned her focus on the water again. This time she heard a voice.

"Beautiful."

So? Thank you. More updates soon.
