Hey. I'm back once again. You know what's next Me no own Sly EtC. O.K. Also thank you Eric and Heiduska for your kindness :D

Chapter 1–What else could go wrong?

Carmelita was somewhat impressed by this handsome racoons appearance. His warm eyes where comforting, and somewhat familiar. His broad physique and muscular/lean build was really attractive. He had a charm about him that only one certain racoon had about him. Of course that didn't mean it was Sly, but maybe that was something all racoons had about them.

"Mr. Sean," Brittany started, why don't we let you go.

"But of course. I'm sure you two lovely ladies have far more important matters than talking to a scrub like me."Sly coaxed, still not believing that the 'Fine Fox' was really Carmelita. This foxes fur was darker and relaxed. Not standing on end when Sly usually saw her. She had a friendly glow to her, that Carmelita never had, or he hadn't realized it.

"It was very nice to meet you Senor Sean."

"Same here Inspector Fox." Sly said not realizing, he just slipped up. Carmelita raised her brow at him, knowing that neither her partner or herself had mentioned her profession to this racoon...Well at least herself.

"If you don't mind me asking. How do you know what I do?"

"Well...you're the only cop that's on the World News every week or so."

That's true Carmelita thought. Carmelita couldn't keep jumping to conclusions like this.

"Well, I shall be going. This has been a treat Inspect– I mean Ms. Fox." As he took Carmelita's hand and kissed it ever so slightly. Before bowing and walking back towards the pool. Carmelita's hand tingled with such energy, just as Brittany's spine, just by being around the mysterious thief. Carmelita wanted to find a little bit about this rouge, charming fellow. Since the sun was setting now. There was no sence into laying around by the pool now, so...she decided to walk after the young racoon and see if he was... who he resembled(somewhat).

As Sly walked off he just thought about this similar vixen. It had to be her, but he couldn't match this lady with the Vixen he remembers her to be. Her hair was...straight. Not the curly hair, or braided ponytail that he was accustomed to. It was...let out, so that her hair came down just below the shoulder. It was rather..."SEXY." Sly told himself as he made his way back to the pool and jumped in.

Bentley and Murray stepped through the lobby of the hotel. Totally fascinated by how big the resort was..

"Sly never treated us to luxury like this." Bentley stated.

"That's a lie, little buddy he treated us to more luxury than we ever could think of." Bentley, now was lost in thought

thinking back to all there adventures and—

"Hello? Bentley are you there?"

"Of course...Let's go find our room so we can get to the pool." Bentley chided, as the two cheerful, chums marched off to there rooms. Murray was kinda sad that Sly wasn't there with them. After Bentley got out the hospital Sly was no where to be seen.

"Bentley...I really miss Sly." Murray said, clearly down from not seeing his best friend." I haven't seen him in a long time and I'm worried about him."

"Murray, after this long vacation, I'll be sure to get ta work on locating our sneaky friend." Bentley said, with a smile.

"Well...O.K." Murray mumbled, as they passed the central pool.

Sly didn't understand why he had hated to swim. It was so relaxing and good exercise. Sly could hold his breath for a long time, which was kinda odd, considering he hated water. Sly sat at the bottom of the pool for over 2 minutes before he came up to get a breath. He was greeted by 2 lovely pair of eyes, that had been watching him sit there thinking. He was taken aback a moment before he realized who it was. Brittany and Carmelita where sitting on the edge of the pool, only getting their feet wet. Sly was about to say something, when a pink hippo and a little turtle walked by talking softly.

Sly couldn't believe this! "Murray...Bentley?" Sly muttered to himself. Could they really be here too? As the two walked off into their hotel. Sly couldn't help but stare after them.

"Into guys too, huh." said Carmelita with a snicker following his gaze.

"HUH?" Sly snapped out of his trance the moment he heard this."NO!...they just looked kinda familiar." Sly muttered, under his breath. Trying not to look to embarrassed..

"How so? You wouldn't happen to be in league with those two...hmm? Don't you know that those are Cooper's accomplices?

"Are you trying to say I'm that no good thief, Sly Cooper? How crazy can you be? I don't even look like that little punk...If I ever get my hands on him I'd— ." Sly was getting kind of nervous. This Inspector Fox, was getting really pushy. This is Carmelita! Sly thought to him self. I have to warn those two before Carmelita goes 'A-wall'.

"Look, I was just playing, no big deal."

"So Sorry, but every cop I come into contact with thinks I'm Sly."

"I see..." Carmelita wasn't gonna bust her ass catching those two when that ringtail could be right under her nose.

"Ms. Fox ?"

"Yes?"

"You wouldn't be thee Carmelita Fox, out of the Interpol Department?" Sly knew it probably was since he said she was all over the news, and that's the only Carmelita Fox he knew of.

"Yes, I am, but why do you ask?" Carmelita had a strong hunch that this was her rival. The only thing that was keeping her from believing was is his appearance, and he could...SWIM! Carmelita had just noticed, even though she'd been watching this racoon for the past few min.(Kinda slow at times ain't she(LOL). If she could get a confession she'd be happy to leave, and haul his sorry ass off to jail.

"Well, It's quite a honor to meet such a accomplished officer as yourself." Sly was on a roll. If he could refrain from talking about himself he could get back to his hotel room without much trouble.

"Actually the honors all mine...Mr. Young."

"Yeah...how so?"Sly said dryly, trying to sound very irritated.

"We'll...It's always great to chat with such a charming guy...you don't see to many, kind, gentle guys anymore."

Carmelita really didn't want to know anymore. She prayed to god that this racoon wasn't Sly. Every time her mind said it was Sly, She'd just push her thoughts further back in her mind.

"Are, you Okay Ms. Fox?' Sly inquired, as he gazed at the vixen, who was deeply lost in thought.

"Fine, Sl– I mean, Sean."Carmelita looked up at the racoon whose hair was matted down behind his ears..."SLY!" she screeched looking at the racoon. Carmelita couldn't believe it. How in the hell did the Cooper gang, herself and her partner all get the same Resort.

"Hey, I'm not SLY!." Sly yelled, trying to convince her it wasn't him since he never yelled at her.

"Damn it, ringtail! Don't play these Fing games with me...I don't see why I don't drag you back to Interpol. I–

"Because I'm on vacation." Sly stated blankly.

"What in hell does that have to do with anything?"

"Well why are you here?" Sly said, wanting to turn the questioning back on her, which is quite difficult to do.

"Sly...if you don't explain yourself, right this very second, I'm gonna kick your ass...then take you to the nearest prison so I can finish my vacation."

"Vacation...I thought you said crime doesn't take vacations so you didn't either. Maybe your finally taking a break for once." Sly teased, somewhat glad the vixen had taken a break.

"That's true I didn't plan this(lie). My chief threw me off your case until you resurfaced.(lie). My partner here suggested this(lie).I—

"Nope, Nope, Nope! Don't even bring me into this, you planned this vacation...not the chief...you wanted a break from the Cooper case, seeing he was going to be out of action for a while. I didn't even know you where here until this morning when I saw you in the lobby." Brittany corrected, receiving a death stare from Carmelita.

"I've been here nearly a whole year! How didn't you recognize me?"

"I just arrived this morning, how was I supposed to know you where at this specific resort? I haven't talked to you for quite some time and you never did tell me where you where staying."Sly just let the two ladies bicker over how they all meet at the hotel. Sly had got out the pool and was trying to get back to his room without any persecution from Carmelita. He had dried himself off, put on his blue t-shirt with some black jeans and some blue/white K-Swiss.

As Sly rounded the last corner to his hotel, Carmelita had gave up arguing with Brittany only to find that Sly was no where to be seen. Carmelita looked at Brittany who watch Sly easily, calmly walk off towards his hotel. Carmelita followed her gaze. Carmelita walked off after him only to here Sly's seductive tone in her ear.

"If your chasing me, why can't we do that after our vacation...but if you wanna come back to my room that—

"Oh shut up I left something by the water front." Carmelita hissed through clenched teeth...as long as he stayed out of her way, she would be just fine. She would of forgotten all about him(or tried to) until... she now noticed that Sly stayed in her Hotel complex/building also.

As Sly and Carmelita headed through the Hotel doors together they couldn't help but think, THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG VACATION.

Hehe, I'm going to have fun with this one. It's gonna be hilarious. If you hate it...so what. That's you. I personally love it(not that it's my story, but it's something I think is Ironic. Anyways R&R and flame if you want it's cool with me.

Chapter 2 on the way!
