It's here! Carmelita's reaction to Sly's return! I really enjoyed writing this one, hope you will enjoy reading it!

Reviews are allways welcome.

Sly stepped out of the shadows, smiling at Carmelita. He sure missed her a lot.

Carmelita didn't know how to react. Her mouth went open, she blinked in shock to see if she is dreaming but she wasn't. Sly was really there, in front of her.

The two just stared at each other for a while. Sonic and his friends looked at each other confused. Sly did told them about her and how complicated their relationship was after she found out that he faked an amnesia to be with her.

Carmelita stepped towards the raccoon slowly, putting an arm on his check, touching it slowly to see if he was real or not.

After a few seconds Carmelita stopped rubbing his check and was about to slap him.

Sly noticed it and quickly dodged under her incoming arm.

Sonic's eyes widened in surprise, Tails and Knuckles reacted in a similar way.

"IDIOT"! Carmelita then shouted.

Sly had nothing to say or do but look at the inspector's redding from anger face.

"You told us you will be all right; you made us believe you will make it out okay like every other time"! Carmelita exploded.

"We caught that stinking Le paradox, sure". She continued. "But no sign from Sly Cooper"!

Sly's eyes looked at her in sadness, that's the second time he made her sad.

"I have started an investigation in order to find you. Bentley looked for you with all of his technology and he found nothing. Murray had joined professional wrestling to be in shape because he knew you were still alive somewhere"! Carmelita continued to cry, it was hard for Sly to see. It wasn't like her.

"It's been months, Ringtail. MONTHS! And even though we felt that maybe you are gone we still believed you will come back. I and Bentley haven't been in contact for a while because there was nothing new. So…" She took a deep breath. "I have decided to move on. I said to myself that after I will finish my shift this evening, I'm saying one final goodbye to you". She took out the picture she had to show him. "And act like we didn't even meet at all".

Sly was about to put a confronting hand on her shoulder but she stopped him, Tears starting to build up in her eyes.

"So here I was, saying my final goodbye to the only thief I have never caught, the only thief that was actually helpful to me some times… the only thief that had stolen my heart". Tears started to go down her chick. "Yet, as soon as I got to it… YOU CAME BACK"! Carmelita busted into crying as she hugged Sly tightly.

Sly was speechless but he returned the hug, felling she needed it.

Sonic, Tails and Knuckles listened as well. They didn't know where it all came from but it was powerful.

Suddenly, Sonic realized something.

"She said months! We might have brought him a little too further in time, buddy". Sonic turned to Tails.

Tails was quit nervous about this but he was still calm.

"Well, lucky it wasn't years since all that happened".

Carmelita's eyes shut right open as she heard their voices.

She pulled back from Sly and got her shock pistol in her hand.

"Who are you"? She asked the three shadowy creatures.

Sonic quickly turned to her. "Whoa, Calm down"! He said as he got his hands up in the air.

"We are friends of Sly". Tails added.

"We are the ones that brought him back here after he went lost in time". Knuckles said as the three got out of the shadows.

Carmelita looked at them with one eyebrow rising.

"Cooper, what are those wired looking guys"? Carmelita asked Sly, pistol still aimed right at them.

"Wired"? Sonic said shocked, bringing his hands down. "You never seen a hedgehog and an echidna before"? He asked while pointing at himself and Knuckles. "And for a fox you sure don't seem to recognize one of your own kinds". He added while pointing at Tails who waved at her.

"It's okay, Carmelita. They did help me come back here, if not for them I was still in a desert in whenever it was". Sly calmed her down.

After all the introductions and catching up Carmelita slapped herself on the face.

"What's up with you"? Knuckles asked.

"We still haven't notified Bentley and Murray about your return! They missed you a lot"! Carmelita told Sly.

"You are right, we should go see them. They are family after all".

"Well, get in the car, all of you". Carmelita walked through her car.

"Nah, we will be fine by foot" Sonic replied to her.

"Whatever is good for you". She said confused.

Sly and she stepped inside the car and she started it.

"So… what did you mean by "Stole my heart" back there"? Sly suddenly asked.

Carmelita blushed. It clearly caught her off guard.

"I think it was pretty self-explanatory". She said before asking "So, why are they insisting on going on foot"?

"Oh, you will see".

Sonic was impatient. He tapped his foot quickly, he wanted to get moving.

"Are we going today, Officer"? He yelled

"He is inpatient, isn't he"? Carmelita got her head out of the car's window as she replied to him "We are going right now.

Carmelita started to drive towards Sly's hideout while suddenly hearing something moving beside her.

She turned away to see Sonic and Knuckles running beside her, Tails keeps up with spinning his two tails in order to fly near them.

Carmelita's shocked face was enough to cause Sonic to giggle.

"And I'm not even warming up you know"? He asked which caused Tails and Knuckles to chuckle.

"If it makes you feel better, I didn't know Tails and Knuckles were that fast up until now too". Sly told her before they reached their destination.

Finally got that one uploaded.

Just a quick unintresting trivia for you guys, I have actually watched the season 2 finale of Sonic X in Japanese while writing this and the scene where Sonic returns and Amy just burst into crying kind of inspired me here and if you have seen that scene in Japanese(Cause 4kids destroyes all emotion fron any scene) then you might see it simillar but I don't care! It fits!
