The cane and bookKari starred at the weird cane. "What is that?" she said to herself. She walked up to it and picked it up. It was incredibly light!
Kari swung the cane around and accidentally hit a shelf sending dust everywhere!
"AH-CHOO!" Kari sneezed. Kari looked up at the shelf. There layed a big book. Kari set the cane down and grabbed the book. But unlike the cane the book was very heavy!
"Uf!" Kari said, trying to hold up the book! She set it down on the ground and wiped the dust off the cover.
"Thievious Racconus?" Kari read. She was about to open the book when.
"Kari! Are you here, dear?" came a voice from downstairs.
Oh no! Mom! Kari thought! Kari had to think fast! She grabbed the cane and book and ran down the attic stairs. She closed the attic door and went into her room. She shoved the cane and the book under her bed, layed down on her bed grabbed a book and opened it.
"Hello honey! How was school?" Kari's mom said, walking into Kari's room. "It was good!" Kari said, looking up from her book.
"What are you doing?" Kari's mom asked. "I'm reading!" Kari said, sounding like she did it everyday (which she didn't).
"Ok." Kari's mom said, with a raised eyebrow. "What?" Kari said, sounding innocent. "Nothing, well I better go have lunch, I have to go back to work at 4!" Kari's mom said, leaving.
Kari got up from her bed and walked up to her door. She closed it, locked it and turned to her bed. She took the big book out from under her bed and opened it. Inside were pictures of raccoons with the same cane doing some cool moves.
"Woah." Kari said. She flipped through the pages carefully, since the book's pages looked like they were already ripped out and put back in!
Kari also found photos of real raccoons. Under the pictures were names. "Rioichi Cooper", "Tennese Kid Cooper", and "Otto Van Cooper" were some of them.
"I can't believe this!" Kari said. "I'm…I'm…related to master thieves!"
Kari flipped through the pages until something caught her eye. On the same page were three pictures of a raccoon, a turtle, and a hippo.
"That raccoon is pretty hot!" Kari giggled. She read the names under the pictures. "Murray", "Bently" and "Sly Cooper".
"I wonder why there are other people in this other than Coopers!" Kari said. Then she turned the page.
"AH!" Kari screamed, accidently dropping the book.
"Are you ok in there?" Kari's mom asked, knocking on the door. "Yeah mom! I'm ok!" Kari said.
Kari picked up the book. "What in the world is that?" Kari said.
Inside the book was a picture of a robotic owl. Under it's picture was the name "Clockwerk".

The next day….
"Bye mom! Bye dad!" Kari said, "I'm going to school now!"
"Honey, why is your book bag so bulky?" Kari's mom asked. "Mmmmm…books!" Kari said.
"Books?" Kari's dad said, looking up from his newspaper. "You never liked to read before!"
"Well uh…I likereading now! So bye!" Kari said, leaving.
"Our baby is growing up!" Kari's mom said, before taking a sip of her orange juice. "Yep." Kari's dad said, looking back at the paper. "Speaking of growing up. There's a certain book we need to talk about." Kari's mom said, looking at her husband.

"Jenny! Amanda!" Kari said, running up to her friends.
"Hey Kari!" Amanda said, waving. "Hey Kari! What happened last night with the phone call?" Jenny asked.
"Never mind that now! I got to show you guys something!" Kari said. Then she whisipered "Alone."
"Alright! Let's go over there!" Amanda said, pointing to the woods. "Do we really have to go in there?" Jenny asked. "Come on!" Kari said, grabbing Jenny's wrist and dragging her to the woods.
The three girls walked in about half way into the woods completely hidden. "Ok, what do you have to show us?" Jenny asked.
"This!" Kari said, pulling out the "Thievious Raccoonus".
"Where'd you get the antique?" Amanda asked. "From the attic!" Kari said, grinning.
"But Kari! Your not aloud to go up there!" Jenny said. "I know but look!" Kari said, opening the book.
"In this book are pictures and of master thieves AND moves they due with a cane!" Kari said.
"A cane?" Amanda and Jenny said in unison. "Yeah, I also found a cane but I couldn't bring it!" Kari said. "And get this! All these master thieves are Coopers!"
"Are you saying your related to master thieves?" Jenny said.
"THAT'S SO AWESOME!" Amanda squealed.
"What?" Jenny said, "Being a thief is against the law!"
"Well no da! But that's what makes it fun!" Amanda said.
"And besides! The Coopers only steal from criminals!" Kari said. Jenny and Amanda looked at her.
"How do you know that?" Amanda asked.
"I read it." Kari said.
"YOU READ ON YOUR OWN! OH KARI I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!" Jenny said, hugging Kari.
"Will you be quiet Jenny! Besides, your sounding like my mother!" Kari said.
"Uh-oh! We better get to school!" Jenny said, pulling away from Kari and looking at her watch.
"Aaaaw MAN!" Amanda and Kari groaned.
"Kari what are you going to do with that book?" Jenny asked. "What do you mean?" Kari asked.
"You can't bring it to school!" Jenny said. "Hey how about we leave it here?" Amanda said, pointing to a bush.
"Well I guess. As long as it's safe!" Kari said. She went over to the bush and put the book under it.
"Alright let's go!" Kari said.

7 hours later….
COME ON YOU STUPID CLOCK! Kari thought.
2:59 p.m.
Kari looked down at her book again. Not reading. Sure wish I had the Thievious Raccoonus.
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!
"YES!" Amanda and Kari yelled again.
"E-hem!" Mrs. Smithers said.
"Sorry Mrs. Smithers!" Kari said, grinning.
"Uh, just go!" Mrs. Smithers said, "Besides, they don't have detention on Fridays."
Kari, Amanda, and Jenny left the classroom. "Hey you guys!" Kari whisipered, "I'll meet you in the woods later. I got to go get something from my house ok?"
"Alright." Jenny and Amanda said.
"See-ya!" Kari said, running down another hall. Jenny and Amanda headed down another hall towards the woods.
Kari kept running down the hall until.
"Where do you think your going, Kari Cooper?" someone said behind Kari.
Kari turned around to see Ginger and crew.
"Gee, I don't know. Home maybe?" Kari said.
"Not on my watch!" Ginger said. They surrounded Kari. "What do you think your going to do?" Kari said.
"We're just going to take you outside, ask you a few questions." Ginger said.
"Oh please! Is this about the pen? You probably dropped it after bullying little kindergardeners!" Kari said.
"Yeah right!" Ginger said. Rover tried grabbing Kari but she dodged his fist and ran.
"See-ya!" Kari said. Ginger growled. "After her!" Ginger screamed
"No screaming in the hallways Ms. May!" Mr. Ray, a black lizard who was the science teacher, said.
"What! But! Kari!" Ginger said. "I don't see any Kari, Ms. May!" Mr. Ray said.
"Grrrr.." Ginger growled walking the other way with her crew following her. "I'll get you one of these days! Kari Cooper!"

Kari went to her house, laughing at how stupid Ginger and her crew was, and went inside. She went up the stairs, into her room, and grabbed the cane from under her bed.
"Time to head for the wo.."
"Kari you here?"
NO! Not mom again!
Kari looked around. She had to get out of there before her mom saw her. And the cane. She looked outside her window. There the old sycamore stood with it's branches strecthed out everywhere. "Bingo!" Kari said.
"Kari! Are you here?" came mom's voice. It was closer.
Kari opened the window and jumped onto the tree. She started to climb down it.
"Kari?" Kari's mom said, from inside Kari's room.
Kari stopped and kept quiet.
"Mmmm….I guess she went somewhere with her friends." her mom said, leaving.
"Phew!" Kari said. Kari tried to climb down again but slipped. "Eep!" Kari said, trying to stay quiet. She was close to the ground when, she suddenly stopped falling. "What the?" Kari looked up. Her cane had snagged onto a branch! "Cool!" Kari said.
She got the cane off the branch and climb down the tree. Then she headed towards the woods.
$#&$&
"Hey guys!" Kari said, entering the woods.
"What took you so long?" Amanda asked.
"Never mind that! Where's Jenny?" Kari asked. "Over there reading your book!" Amanda said. Kari looked where Amanda was pointing and saw Jenny sitting on the ground, Indian-style, reading the Thievious Racconus.
"This is fasinating!" Jenny said. "Yeah it is, LOOK AT THIS!" Kari said, holding up the cane.
"Wow! It looks just like the ones in the book!" Jenny said, looking at the cane.
"Okaaaay, but what are you going to do with it?" Amanda asked.
"Ladies, I'm going to teach myself how to be a master thief!" Kari said, "You guys can join me if you want!"
"Wellllll." Jenny said.
"I WILL!" Amanda said.
"So, Jenny, are you in?" Kari asked.
"Alright. Why not? I mean it's going to be awhile till we can actually steal stuff!" Jenny said.
"Jeez! Your supportive!" Amanda said, rolling her eyes. "What should we be called?"
"How about, "The thieves gang"!" Kari said.
"Noooo, how about since we're learning Cooper moves we can be the "Cooper gang"!" Jenny said.
"Alright!" Kari and Amanda said.
"Let's get thieving!" Kari said.
"But first we got to practice!" Jenny said.
"Yeah…right." Kari said.
