Life and Times of Sweeney Todd

Haha, okay the previous chapter was pretty funny :D could you imagine Sweeney like that?! XD okay, well onto this chapter. Reviews are love! …and they bring updates.

Chapter 21

Its fop, finest in the shop…

The carriage took them to a really pretty sea-based place. It wasn't very cloudy, the sky was a little bluer than in London…and best of all the houses were absolutely gorgeous. Mrs. Lovett was really excited…yet, Sweeney had his mind on taking the itchy dress off and going back to his normal self.

"Okay, we're 'ere." The driver said. Nellie, Sweeney, and Toby unloaded everything they had taken, Toby was still snickering and giggling at how stupid Sweeney looked.

"Now we'll look at the 'ouses…" Nellie started, but Sweeney interrupted her.

"Ah!! After I change!!" He growled. A lady was walking past them and Sweeney's growling caught her attention, she turned her head in shock, then she just laughed.

"Well, we'll 'ave to find you somewhere to do tha'" Nellie suggested, "Um…'ow 'bout…" She searched Sweeney's bag and handed him his clothes, "'Ere, go find a bathroom, and change there."

"Wha' 'bout this god forsaken make-up?!" He asked angrily.

Nellie licked her finger and rubbed it on his face, "Jus' use some water, dear."

Sweeney grabbed his clothes quickly and went to find a restroom. Oh no, he left Nellie alone to pick out a house, Toby didn't really have much of a say in it. Nellie found herself someone to file all the papers with real estate and all that junk.

"This house is perfect for having a family. Its got four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and, ah, just go look for yourself," The lady said, then she struck Nellie a funny look, "Do I know you? You look familiar…"

Nellie's eyes widened, "Oh, no, no' at all. Um, I'll go look at tha' 'ouse now…" She walked away scratching her head.

Sweeney was finally done changing back to his normal looking, sadistic self. He tore up the town trying to find Mrs. Lovett and Toby.

Then he saw them walking out a cottage which, to Sweeney, looked like a really nice place. He spotted Nellie talking to the Real Estate lady as she pulled out papers. He bolted over towards them.

"Did I miss anythin'?" He said quietly to Nellie.

"Hm?" She turned around, "No, love. We're jus' gonna get this 'ouse." She nodded.

He took another look at the house, "Okay." Was his short reply.

"And…" the lady remarked, "Your done! Just come by the Real Estate office tomorrow to sign a few more papers and such. The house is furnished, as you would know, ma'am. And you're set. You can stay in it tonight. Payment is only 100 shillings a week."

"Cheap, right?" Nellie said excitedly to Sweeney, he didn't reply.

The lady walked away and Nellie paused for a moment, then she took hold of Sweeney's pale hand, "Lets go, Sweeney Cakes!!"

"Wha' did I tell you 'bout callin' me tha'?!" And then she dragged him inside, Toby following them.

When they got inside, it was a really, really pretty house. It had hardwood flooring, high ceilings, the rooms were all painted nice colors, there was three stories, and of course, it had all the furniture they needed.

"Wow," Sweeney commented, "Its 'ard to believe its only 100 shillings a week…." Then he remembered, "Oh yeah, wha' are we goin' to do 'bout working?"

"Jobs?" Nellie asked as she set there clothes and things down, "I'll jus' rent a building and continue makin' pies, and you can stay a barber, if you'd like. Jus'…don't kill the customers, be nice." She pointed at him.

"Um, all righ'."

"Its either tha' or I'm makin' you work in a doughnut shop."

"Hm…" Sweeney thought for a minute, "Wait…'ow did you know I 'ate doughnuts?! I'm allergic too!"

Nellie laughed, "Then I guess you only 'ave one choice." She kissed him. When their kiss broke she remembered, "Hey, did we ever think of a name for the baby?"

Sweeney narrowed his eyes, "No…"

"Well, then. Go unpack your things and we'll talk it out. Toby, go pick you a room." Nellie said imperatively.

"Yes, ma'am." Toby went upstairs.
