Author's Note: I finally got this finished! It's not long... but I couldn't fit what I wanted in here so I'm making it another chapter. :3 Which makes it longer. Yay! This will be my longest story yet!

Dislaimer: I own Sweeney Todd the movie! :3 Yay me!

Oh Look Johanna... A Star, A Shooting Star...


"Mr. Todd!" Anthony yelled, a grin across his lips.

"What is it?" Sweeney asked, sipping a taste of gin down his throat.

"Tell him." Anthony said to a figure behind him.

He watched as the figure, a girl, no older than fifteen, stared at him, her eyes soft as she spoke. She twirled a piece of her golden hair around her finger, a blush crossing her pale cheeks.

"Um, hello Mr. Todd... I'm-" But Sweeney had already began to finish the sentence for the girl before him.

"Johanna." He stated blankly, dropping the bottle of gin onto the dirty floor beneath him. "My god, Johanna!"


He stared, mouth open wide at his daughters face. He hadn't seen her since she had beena baby... and now here she was; a young woman. 'She looks just like her mother'. His thoughts had suddenley jumbled into one gigantic mess of problems.

"How do you know me, good sir?" Johanna asked in the softest voice he had ever heard.

"I-I'm sorry about that." Sweeney managed to spit out, regaining his composure.

"You know Johanna, Mr. Todd?" Anthony asked, hope in his voice.

Sweeney was silent for a moment, his thoughts jumping around in his head all at once.

"Mr. T?" He heard Nellie's voice ring from the stairs below his shop.

"We're in the kitchen." He mumbled as she walked in the door.

"Oh dear." Nellie mouthed to him as she watched the tortured expression on his face expand. "Um, Anthony, coul' yeh come with me fer a min? I want ter show yeh aroun' so Mr. T can speak with Johanna."

"Al-right?" Anthony managed to say before Nellie tugged him out of the shop.

"Toby yeh too!" Her voice shrilled from outside the shop, and the boy shuffled quickly out the door without another word.


Sweeney Todd had been left alone in the room with a daughter he hadn't seen in fifteen years.

"So why did they want me to speak with you, Mr. Todd, sir?" Johanna asked softly, staring down at where he sat.

"I don't know where to start, Johanna." The name felt foreign on his tongue now; he hadn't spoken it so often that it felt... strange.

The blond cocked her head to the side and smiled lightly. "I may be young sir, but I do understand many things."

"This might be a little bit harder than anything you've ever heard before," He paused, unsure of where to even begin. "Well you know who I am, or my name at least, right?"

Johanna nodded. "Sweeney Todd. Anthony told me before we arrived."

"And your name?"

"Johanna Barker."

He paused, shocked that she actually knew her real name... not using that blasted Turpin's name. He was, happy.

"Do you know your parents names?" He asked.

"Benjamin Barker was my father... and Lucy Barker was my mother, I believe sir." She smiled, dazzling him with how much she looked like Lucy. "Why sir? Did you know them?"

Sweeney sighed. "You could say that."

"Mr. Todd, what are you getting at?" Johanna asked, stepping closer to him.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." He mumbled, standing up. He cursed himself for dropping the bottle of gin; he was sure Toby had just taken the last one...

"Mr. Todd, please don't treat me like a child. I'm much more mature than I think you know, and I can handle whatever it is you need to tell me." Johanna explained calmly.

Sweeney stared at her, a laugh escaping his lips. "I can't help but treat you like a child, because, my dear Johanna, you are one! Whether you believe it or not, you are indeed a child!"

"Why are you being so rude to me?" She asked, staring into his dark eyes.

"I'm not being rude, I'm being overprotective! I don't know how to act around you Johanna... I just don't understand-" Sweeney held his hands over his face and sighed once more. "I love you so much Johanna... but I don't know how to express it."

She stared at him, mouth tight as she decided to back away. "We must have some misunderstanding."

"There is no misunderstanding Johanna!" Sweeney slammed his fists onto the table in frustration. "I don't see you for fifteen damned years and then you reappear in this house again!"

"I don't know you, Mr. Todd..." She managed to mumble as fear shot through her body.

"Yes you do!" Sweeney grabbed her arm and she was about to scream, before he tugged her into a close hug. "Johanna-"

"Please let go-" She whispered, as fear completely took over her body.

"Just let me hug you once." He said into her hair. "I haven't held you since you were a baby."

She froze for a moment as she let the words sink into her brain. "D-dad?"

"Johanna, love... I'm, I'm home again."
