Chapter 1
Sly Cooper woke up and stretched. Walking into the kitchen, he poured a bowl of cereal and sat down to eat. After breakfast, he went to the guys' rooms and woke them up. It was 15 years after the Cooper Vault job, and Sly was married to Carmelita. He had already broken the news that he was faking amnesia, and they had two 14-year-old twins that seemed to inherit traits from both of their parents. The twins had just left when Carmelita walked groggily into the kitchen. "Ugh, did the terrors just leave?". Sly laughed and handed her a cup of coffee. "Hurry up and get dressed, we gotta get to work". Murray and Bentley walked down the stairs (In Bentley's case, rolled) and got some cereal. Sly passed them each some coffee and went upstairs to get his pistol. After they were both ready, Sly and Carmelita left for the police station to get their daily assignment. Murray got his helmet, hopped into the van, and sped off for the race track. Bentley finished up and waited on the porch. Soon, Penelope pulled up to pick him up, and they drove to work at the lab.
Meanwhile, the twins, Lena and Evan, just got to school when their friends, a lizard and a wolf, jumped out from behind the bushes and tackled them. "Guys, get off me!" Lena giggled. "Oh, come on, Lena. You know you like it" the wolf said. Lena slapped him (not very hard, but hard enough to be convincing). They all got up and started to walk to the school building. Later, Lena resolved to make it up to Jack (the wolf) because in fact she was his girlfriend. "Hey, Evan, did you try out that gadget I gave you?". Zippy (no one knew his real name, and no one really wanted to) was the resident genius of the school. Evan smiled at his friend's antics. The "gadget" that Zippy had given him was a remote control robot spider that was perfectly disguised. He kept himself hidden and kept moving it near Carmelita, who really freaked out when she kept squashing it, and it never died. He was sure Bentley had caught on, but luckily, he kept quiet.
Elsewhere, Bentley and Penelope were working on a new project at the lab they worked at. They were creating an undetectable spy robot. Bentley had gotten the idea when he noticed the spider terrorizing Carmelita last night. Penelope had suggested that they just ask Evan for the original, but Bentley had insisted that they make their own. Penelope would've given up earlier, but Bentley kept pushing her to go on. Finally, the stubborn turtle admitted defeat. It was the end of the shift, and a Friday. They left to pick up Evan and Lena. When they got to the school, they saw the friends hiding in the bushes using the spider to freak out some girls (and weak-hearted guys). They walked over and, reluctantly, ended their fun. Evan and Lena got up and walked over to the car while Penelope bargained with Zippy for the spider. After she finally got it from him, she revved up the car and headed home. After dropping off the kids, she and Bentley headed home (Bentley had just been staying at the Cooper's house overnight.)
Murray had just finished an amazing record-setting lap around the race track, and was packing up to go home when he saw the news on the portable TV in the back of the van. "Constable Sly Cooper and Inspector Carmelita Fox have just captured another gang leader, making it their 6th capture in as many days. Murray grinned and finished packing. He got in and drove off towards the Cooper house. When he got there, Jack and Zippy were just coming up the drive way. He walked in with them, while talking to Jack about the best way to put someone in a headlock and keep them there. When they got inside, Murray was tackled by all 4 of the teenagers. Trying to get up from the dog pile, he noticed a note on the table. He went over and looked at it. The note read: To all who may be concerned, Carmelita and I are going out tonight, so sound the alarms. If you have any problems, please bring them up with my secretaries Lena and Evan. If they have a problem, tell them too bad.

Murray finished reading and chuckled. "What's up? Where are our parents?". "Read for yourself" Murray said, and handed the note to Evan. Everyone laughed after reading it.
Meanwhile, the comedian in question was finishing up some paperwork at his Interpol office. Carmelita came in and started polishing her shock pistol as she watched Sly finish up. "Would you mind telling me why I have to finish the paperwork while you sit there cleaning your gun?". "Because Sly, I outrank you. Besides, I hate paperwork". "Wonderful. Are we still on for that date tonight?". "What date?" Carmelita answered, puzzled. "Whoops, must've slipped". "Cooper, did you plan this?". "Of course. I even left a note". Carmelita groaned. After he had finished, Sly and Carmelita left the office and started for the restaurant. Little did they know that they were being followed…

Well, did I leave you with enough of a cliffhanger? I doubt it, I'm not very good at that. Please review.
