Chapter One: An Unexpected Meeting
Kitty:
It was midnight in Paris. Two dark figures stood on the roof of a hotel. "Are you sure you're ready for this? You really should wait until you're older", the taller figure said. "I'm ready. Nothing is going to stop me from doing this. It's my destiny", the smaller figure said. "Ok", said the tall figure, "but be careful." The smaller figure began to run along the rooftops towards a museum. She paused at a streetlight to catch her breath. She was a black cat and a totally awesome thief, with beautiful green eyes and a long tail. Her hair was long, with orange highlights, but mostly it was red. She was wearing a green shirt, black pants and green gloves with yellow cuffs. Her boots were black. Green and black were her favorite colors. In the green backpack around her shoulders was a short, black stick with a glowing green orb hooked on at the top. She also had her cell phone, a lock pick, and a bag of peanuts. I'm doing this for Bunny, my one true friend, she thought. Her name was Kitty, she was close to fourteen years old, and had no idea that she was about to meet Sly Cooper.
Sly:
It was midnight in Paris. A dark figure stood on the roof of a museum. "Sly! Sly, are you there? CAN YOU HEAR ME!" came a nasally voice from somewhere. "Yeah, I read you loud and…very loud", the figure said. The moonlight showed briefly on his face. He was a gray raccoon, with a black mask. He was wearing a blue shirt with a yellow collar, blue gloves with yellow cuffs, and tall blue boots plus a blue hat. (He must have really liked blue.) His name was Sly Cooper, and he was a master thief. "Good. Now, to get inside the museum, there should be a skylight. Cut a hole through it and you can get in." The nasally voice belonged to Bentley, one of Sly's best friends. Bentley was a turtle, and was the brains of the operation. "Ok, Bentley, I appreciate your help. Are you in position?" asked Sly.
"Yeah, I'm in the basement. Now, to get up, I can rewire the elevator but I need you to turn on the power using the switch near the elevator", said Bentley. "Ok, will do Bent-Hey Bentley, I think I see something coming towards me!" "Can you see what it is?" asked Bentley. "It…it looks like…a girl!" Sly said slowly. He brought out his binocucom (The binocucoms are what Sly and his pals communicate through. They're sort of like Walkie Talkie binoculars with a built in camera.), and zoomed in to the figure that was getting closer. It stopped near a streetlight, and Sly got a good look at its face. "It is a little girl", he said, surprised. Then Murray came on. Murray was a pink hippopotamus who always seemed to be eating something. He was the brawn of the operation. "Hey, Sly, I think you should hide before she sees you, just in case", Murray said through the binocucom. The girl began to run, then stopped.
Kitty:
Kitty began to run again, but stopped when she saw the figure on the rooftop. She froze; automatically thinking it was Inspector Carmelita Montoya Fox. Carmelita worked at Interpol, and always seemed to be chasing either Kitty or Sly and his friends. But then she noticed that she didn't have a shock pistol, and her hair was gone. As she got closer, she noticed it was a boy. I wonder who that is. She looked closer. "OH MY GOSH!" she practically screamed. Oh, that might not have been a good idea, she thought. It was Sly Cooper! She took another step forward and was surprised to find that the roof suddenly disappeared from under her feet. She screamed as she fell toward certain death.
Sly was beginning to think that the girl was paralyzed when she moved forward a bit more. Then he heard her scream "OH MY GOSH!" He wondered what was wrong. Then she began to walk towards him and, completely absorbed in getting to him, walked straight off the edge. "Whoa!" yelled Sly. He ran as fast as he could and swung down his cane. He felt a satisfactory tug on the end and pulled it back up to find a very embarrassed Kitty at the end. "And who do we have here?" he asked.
I'm dead. I'll never get to see her again Oh, Bunny… Never…OOF! She hit something hard and curved, then felt herself being pulled up. "And who do we have here?" asked a voice that she would know anywhere. It was Sly Cooper. "I'm…Kitty…" she faltered, and then fainted.
