FOREST CITY, N.Y. - 9:08 P.M.

Sly, Dash, Veronica, and Rusty arrived at the rickety old building that was to host the facilities. Sly knocked on the door. The group was greeted by Andy Clark and his girlfriend Sandra Ringworth. "Hey, Sly! Glad you could make it!", Andy said. "Hello, baby!", Veronica said, hugging and kissing Andy. "Do you mind?", Sandra said angrily.

"Hey there, Rusty.", Andy said. "Why didn't I get an invitation?", Rusty asked. "Sorry about that.", Andy said. "So, who's your friend?", Andy asked, glancing at the young fox who had accompanied Sly.

"Andy, I'd like you to meet Dash O'Keefe.", Sly then said. "Dash, this is Andy Clark.", Sly said. "So, this is the Dash I've heard so much about.", Andy said as he shook the young fox's paw. "Yeah.", Sly said. "I figured it was time my two best buds met in person.", Sly then said. "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you.", Andy said to Dash. "You and I have similar backgrounds.", Andy then said. "Bad upbringing, out on the streets at a young age.", Andy said to Dash. "Is that so?", Dash said. "Yep.", said Andy. "Well, I'm glad to meet you.", said the fox.

"You're a cute one.", Sandra said to Sly's fox friend. "Uh, thank you, Mrs. Clark.", Dash said. "Oh my, Mrs. Clark.", Sandra said. She and Andy both laughed. "We're not married.", said Andy. "At least not yet.", he then said. "Oh.", said Dash. "You two go enjoy yourselves. I'll be back with you momentarily.", said Andy. The two raccoons disappeared.

Sly and Dash retreated to a corner. "That Andy is HOT.", Dash said to Sly. "Yeah. I know.", said Sly. "You should see him when he's sleeping. Mmmmm.", said Sly. "Sometimes, I think about climbing into that bed with him and-" Before Sly could finish, Andy approached the two with a tray of food. "Here, we have all a raccoon's favorites.", Andy said, handing the tray to Sly. "Wow. Trash, filth, and garbage!", Sly said. "Bentley never let me eat this type of stuff.", he said, picking up an item of food. "May I try some?", asked Dash. "Sure. There's plenty for all.", said Andy as he left the two.

"I didn't know foxes liked decaying refuse.", Sly said as he watched his friend chow down. "Oh, yeah. Old food just has a certain character that the fresh stuff lacks.", Dash said. "So, does Andy know you find him attractive?", O'Keefe then asked. "God, no.", said Sly. "And it's gonna stay that way. I cherish this friendship way too much.", Sly said. "My lips are sealed.", said Dash.

Just then, a female hawk came up to Sly. "Wow. It's Sly Cooper.", she said. "I'm Helen Harris.", she said to him. "I think you're the greatest.", she then said to him. "You wouldn't mind dancing with me, would you?", the hawk then asked. "It would be my pleasure.", said Sly. The two went off together. A beautiful young vixen then approached Dash. "Hey there, cutie.", she said to him. "Wanna dance?", she asked. "Uh, OK.", Dash said. All of a sudden, two older raccoons burst into the room.
