Chapter 3:


A/N OK, so both on here and on deviant art(Check my bio for a link to my page) I've had some questions regarding Sweeney's personality. In my view, He does have a sense of humour. But he tries not to show it. I guess because of all that he's been through, He's tried to create and emotionless mask to stop himself getting hurt. I think he sees positive emotions as a weakness so he tries to cover them up.

Now all that seriousness aside... On to the story!


[Rachel and Cathy are downstairs, Sweeney and Nellie are upstairs]

Rachel: This Kitchen... Is full of bugs...

Cathy: I know right? Someone needs to get some Mr. Muscle at this place.

Rachel: No way man! That's toilet cleaner!

Cathy: It is not!

Rachel:Uh, yeah it is.

Cathy: Nuh-uh! There's loads of different ones!

Rachel:Whatever. [Sighs] How long until Pirelli gets here?

Cathy: Can't be long now...

[Both turn to the window to see Pirelli staring in at them (trousers and all) with one of those queer, perverted smiles]

Cathy+Rachel:[Scream for all their worth and take cover behind the counter]

Rachel:Oh shit!

Cathy: My sentiments exactly.

[Both sit for a while until the shop door opens with a tinkle of the bell]

Rachel: Oh fuck! Oh shit! He's coming for us!

Cathy: Oh God!

Mrs. Lovett: Wot on earth are you's doing on the floor?

Rachel:[Jumps up] Nothing! Nothing at all! Just...erm...

Cathy:Looking... at the... eh... floor...

Mrs. Lovett: Signor Pirelli is upstairs wiv Mr. T... and I've got the boy.

Rachel:[To Toby] All right?

Toby:[Nods shyly]

Cathy:[is still on the floor and she pokes he head around the counter] Oh! Hello!

Toby: Hi.

Mrs. Lovett: Well, sit down!

Toby:[Sits in booth]

Mrs. Lovett: You two as well!

Rachel:Right![Sits on Toby's right side]

Cathy:[Sits on left]

All:[Talk about Pies, Hair and Pirelli]

Toby: Oh God! He's got an appointment wiv his tailor! If he's late he'll blame me!

Cathy:Wait!

Toby: I have to go!

Cathy: How about some gin?

Toby: The tailor can wait I'm sure...

Rachel: Exactly! Here ya go! [Pours out gin for everyone]

Mrs. Lovett: I'll just pop up to Mr. T for a minuet...


Mrs. Lovett:[Comes running into the kitchen, a bit out of breath] It's the Judge!

Cathy+Rachel:[Exchange a glance]

Cathy:[Whispers] I think It'd be best if we left it.

Rachel:[Annoyed whisper] But I wanna see Alan Rickman!

Cathy: Shut up.

Toby:[drunk] Woz goin on?

Cathy: I think you've had enough to drink.

Toby: No I Ha-ha-ha-has s'not! [Passes out]

Mrs. Lovett: Oh dear Lord! Lets get him to the Living room in case a customer comes!

Cathy:Unlikely..

Mrs. Lovett:Wot was that dearie?

Rachel: Nothing... Come on lets go.

[Bring Toby into the living room]

[All wait in kitchen for a while, See Anthony run up stairs to Mr. Todd's room]

Rachel: Bugger.

[Anthony and Judge run downstairs]

Mrs. Lovett: My God! [Runs upstairs]


Rachel+Cathy:[Follow]

OK, So that's the end of this chapter. I just wanted to mention that I now feel that (Rachel especially) are actually starting to turn more into an OC rather than me and my friend, So I will probably use them in other Fic's and artwork as well. Savvy? So I shall now be labelling Rachel (and possible Cathy) an OC, She will still of course be based on me but I don't want her being me, K? This probable makes no sense but I don't care. :P

As always: Please, Please review! Please? I hope I didn't bore/confuse/annoy anyone with my A/N but I felt it had to be said. Savvy?
