Hello.... Sorry about no updates. So yeah, couldn't think of anything so I'm just gonna wrap it up and leave it at that. Next time I will think. But yeah.... I couldn't because I lost my best friend (GOD KNOWS WHY!!!) and I just finished up our play. So I couldn't think. Life's hard. Times is hard. Times is hard!!! Bum-bum. Hehehehe.....

I don't own Sweeney Todd. But I would gladly give my heart to him if I did :D Btw in this story I made a random character of me own..

Enjoy.... Or at least try o_______o

It was about a month before they got to Paris. They had plenty of money (thanks to Sweeney's past business) so they bought a home similar to Ms. Lovett's -- The actual home was downstairs, and Sweeney's no-longer-murderous shop was upstairs, along with his own room. They lived long and happily together.

After what seemed a long time, Anthony and Johanna got married. Of course, although with a great deal of fear, Anthony had asked Sweeney if he could marry her. Sweeney yelled at him for a few minutes about how she was "a beautiful angel who needed a real man to care for her" and how he "did not trust annoying sailors" and then chased him out of the room with a razor in hand. But, afterwards, he thought about what he said. Johanna was a delicate creature like his mother and would need much care and respect. Anthony had loved her since he layed his eyes upon her through the window, and promised he would make her life long and happy. Sweeney just wanted his long-lost daughter to be happy, even if it meant losing her again. So, he met with Anthony again, apologizing for his outbursts and agreed with what he wanted. Not a while later, they were married, Johanna due with child. She begged Sweeney to let her name the child Benjamin if it was a boy, which he agreed. He was just so happy to have a grandchild soon, even if he felt old. He would have a family again.

Sweeney was walking to the market in search of a treat for his daughter and son-in-law when he bumped into a farmiliar woman. Ms. Lovett's old friend, Janet Gardener! She did not recognize him at first, but he gave his best Ben smile, and she caught on. They talked for a long time.

"How did you get out of that prison? We all knew you didn't belong in there...." Janet mumbled.

"I managed to be unseen when the guard forgot to lock the door." He smirked.

"You know, people are after you. Look at the signs." She pointed to a street lamp, with a well-sketched picture of him, his daughter, and Anthony. "Who are the other two?"

"My daughter and her husband." He barely spoke loud enough, and he pulled out his hat and placed it on his head. He hoped it would help hide his face.

"Li'l Johanna? She a beauty, Ben?"

"Just like her mother."

"Like she was then, or now?"

His breathing stopped. "What do you mean, now?"

"Lucy, like she is now. Babbling for alms in London, last I saw of her."

"She's alive...."

"Yes. Did you not know?"

He stared into space. The guilt with Ms. Lovett's incident disappeared, leaving anger. "Your friend..... Ms. Lovett told me she died of arsenic poisoning."

"Rather close, deary. But it drove her mad. She did not remember. Ms. Lovett asked her what you looked like, and she did not know a Benny. She did not know Johanna. Poor Eleanor was forced by law to throw her out into the streets, before she could hurt Johanna or herself."

"My Lucy is out there. Suffering every day." He attempted to walk away and head back to his home, but Janet grabbed his arm. He stared dully into her eyes. "What?"

"Maybe what Nellie did was for the best. It would be better for you to think she was in heaven instead of the hell called London. Do not worry! She would not ever remember a thing, and I'm sure Lucy forgives you."

Sweeney looked down. Ms. Lovett lied to save him, did she not? If he knew she was suffering, he would surely end up hurting himself. He looked back up at her. "She better forgive me." He then yanked his arm loose and walked down the street back home, forgetting why he had even gone to the market in the first place.

He returned home to hear two voices crying - a girl's and a baby's. He ran into the room where the noise was coming from to find Johanna in her bed, sobbing harder than ever, holding a bloody bundle of clothes that held a small child, crying along with her. He did not see the doctors, nor Anthony, or even the room. He did not hear Anthony's soothing voice, or the sobbing duet. He only saw his daughter and grandchild. He paced over to Johanna and wrapped an arm around her, feeling her body heave up and down. He stared at the child, with eyes that struck him farmiliar - his daughter's eyes, which were like his own. The child could barely lift the eyelids, which drooped back down every time they did. "Boy or girl?"

Johanna took a choked breath. "Boy. Little Benjamin Hope." She smiled, more tears pouring over. Sweeney then noticed the small amount of black hair that lay upon the boy's head. "And he's got your hair." Johanna giggled to her father.

They washed the boy - Ben - and prepared for a new life.

Sweeney raised Benny like his own. He took him out for walks when he was old enough and comforted him when he was sad. Anthony had a job as a tailor and was not around much, but Johanna was always there. She and Sweeney were very kind to each other after all they had been through. They were a close family, even after Sweeney's death. He got pneumonia in January and have to stop his business.

"Johanna, you know I love you more than anything...." He held her hand as he stared at the ceiling. "Anthony is a good man. Don't you give up on him. Let Ben be a good man, and let him live a happy life.... Don't let him end up like me."

"Father, you are not a bad man! Never let someone make you think that. I'm proud of you for being brave. You stood up for your family."

"If I was a good man, I would not leave my family. My only family I've had, since..... How long?" The sickness did not help his memory of how long he was in prison. "Just promise me. If anything happens to you, do not give up. You have a wonderful son and husband to take care of."

A tear left Johanna's eye and fell to the floor. "I won't forget you."

He smiled. "You better not." He took in his last breath, and fell into peace.

Johanna never forgot what he said. She took great care of her family and made sure they were as happy as possible. Ben became a successful man and was soon a judge. He was not cruel and unfair, like Judge Turpin. He knew peoples' rights and knew what to do with the hell of Earth. People respected him, and he was well-known.

In all, their life was the best of them all. They had all learned lessons - Sweeney learned to forgive and forget, Anthony learned how to care for the one he loved, Johanna learned to help your family at any cost, and Benjamin learned to be a good man.

(Tears gushing) GAHHH! Poor Sweeney love. I needed tragedy.... I mean for God's sake, Sweeney Todd is a story of tragedy. Someone made a review after that announcement and suggested Ms. Lovett did not die. I was going to do that BUT like I just said, Sweeney's purpose is tragic and his life sucks so yeah. I made my dearest die too.... :( The history of the world, my pet, is learn forgiveness and try to forget! I want to watch it now.

SO. Yeah sucky ending.... Could've been better, but I thought this up at random. Give me credit peoplesssss. Hehehe.... "You better not." HEYHEY! That song... "When I tell her I need her, she says 'You better!'" That reminds me of that song. I think it's by The Who. Maybe maybe not.

Well. Loves, farewell. YOU BETTER NOT FORGET ME! .........

OKAY extreme. I just hate to leave that's all. Well bye. Planning out a crossover.... How does Sweeney Todd + Final Destination sound? :DDDDD
