Epilogue
Note: This is the epilogue for Sweeney vs Nellie. It won't be a long one, just a quick and dirty chapter revealing what life is like now for them. And how their relationship is now. Than all my focus will be Everything Changes
"Johanna doesn't look that happy covered in mud" Toby said. Anthony chuckled at his words. "Well you had to get back at her for getting you to put Mr Todd's shaving cream on your face in your sleep." "Mr Todd was mad at ME about it" Toby grumbled. "I thought he was going to kill me." "I don't think he'd kill anybody" Anthony responded.
Mrs Lovett tried her best not to snort. She and Sweeney still had problems. She was frustrated he still hadn't seemed to put Lucy behind him. Though he was treating her better than he ever had before. He would actually listen to her and contribute to conversations when she would talk to him. He told her he couldn't forgive her for hiding the truth about Lucy from him, but he no longer hated her for it, or wanted to kill her.
She still felt a great attraction to him, emotionally and sexually. He had finally returned her affection sexually, though she realized he would never love her. He was at least treating her like an equal now. They continued their business, as Sweeney had developed a blood-lust he could no longer control. She was fine with this as they were making a decent amount of money. She and Sweeney still liked to compete with each other, testing their brain and brawn.
There was a loud crash that made her jump. "Johanna must have undid the legs of Toby's favorite chair" Anthony chuckled. Mr Todd entered the living quarters with his trademark grumpiness. "They still having their blasted prank war?" "Seems like it," she said. Sweeney nodded and lifted two glasses in one hand and two bottles of liquor in another.
"We have arm-wrestled, tug of war, wrestled, played chess, went head to head in a test, and even fought for dominance in bed" Mr Todd told her. "But I am curious, Mrs Lovett, in Australia I built quite a resistance to alcohol thanks to someone who smuggled it to the inmates. How well can you hold your alcohol? A smirk crossed her face. "I've out drunk many men in my time Mr Todd, so handling you in one should be child's play." Sweeney's eyes flashed at the challenge of the response.
"Let's have a go at it then my pet." So they drank glass after glass, getting more and more drunk. Just like in every competition, they both refused to give in, until they both slipped into unconsciousness. The other three helped them to Lovetts bed to sleep it out. They woke up in bed that night hungover but giggly. "I guess they let us sleep off our drunkenness in here," Lovett said.
"Stalemate once again my pet" Sweeney yawned. "Now that we are in bed and all, why don't we have a rematch. Who can dominate in bed?" "You are on Mrs Lovett, this time no stalemate." "So do you think they are awake now?" Johanna asked. "Is that all you've got Mr T?"
They heard through the door. "I will tame you yet my pet." "I'd like to see you try Sweeney." "They're awake," Toby confirmed. They all left the two to "wrestle."
Note: And that is Sweeney vs Nellie folks. I"m sorry if it wasn't the best, or if they were out of character. Well now I can focus all my energy on Everything Changes now, which has Sweeney and Nellie's relationship closer to what I had planned for this
before it became a Sweetnett. Anyway this fic is finished. Everything Changes may have a few of these battles be reused but they will be attempts to hurt each other when they are not in a position to kill each other not prove dominance. Anyway goodbye for now.
