Read and review. Or don't. I don't care-.-

Anastasia walked happily to Mrs. Lovett's pie shop, not caring if the barber would be eager to see her. She couldn't wait to tell Mrs. Lovett that she was staying with her family for two months. Just saying those words makes her excited. She and Johanna were currently at the market looking for fruits and vegetables for supper tonight, but Annie wanted to see Mrs. Lovett first, so she had Johanna wait for her there.

Johanna agreed, but warned her best friend to be careful. That made Anastasia roll her eyes, thinking that Johanna was starting to be as overprotective as her brothers. Other than that, she loved them with all her heart.

As she approached the door, Mrs. Lovetts caught sight of her and smiled. Once the maid walked in, she noticed the happy little smile she hadn't seen in years.

"'Ello, Annie dear," she greeted. "Ye look awfully 'appy today."

Anastasia giggled her old child like giggle, another thing that Lovett hadn't heard in years either.

"Oh, Mrs. Lovett," she said happily, "I have wonderful news. Turpin's decided to let me and Joey stay with my family for two months!"

Mrs. Lovett seemed taken aback by this, but she smiled in joy. "That's wonderful, deary! When do ye two leave?"

"We just arrived moments ago. Aunty wanted me to invite you to our cafe to celebrate."

"Well then, I'll accept. Do ye want me to let Mr. T know?"

Annie nodded, as if she didn't mind the thought of having the barber in her home. "Of course, Aunty would love to meet him." She turned to leave, but stopped and looked back. "Tell him I said hello, will you?"

Mrs. Lovett nodded. "Course, deary, anythin' for ye."

"Alright, goodbye, Mrs. Lovett." And with that, she opened the door and left back to the market.

Mr. Todd had come out of the shop, and then stopped as he saw the girl run to the market. His eyes widened as he recognised the petite frame. It was Anastasia Evercraft, the little maid he had become so interested in. The barber went down the stairs and went into the pie shop.

Mrs. Lovett looked up at him and smiled. "'Ello, Mr. T. Annie just came and invited us to 'er family's cafe. It's a celebration of 'er return to 'er 'ome."

Mr. T raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Return home?"

"Right, I forgot to mention that Annie practicly lives with 'er employer and 'e only lets 'er come 'ome for one month once a year. This year's two months."

Well, that's a surprise. He guessed Mrs. Lovett forgot to tell him about Annies one month stay with her family on purpose, but he didn't press to the matter any further. You've gotta remember, Anastasia's the type of young girl who keeps dark secrets, although he could only assume that this secret was dark.

"Well, Annie was in the market place before she came 'ere, and she came quickly to tell me she was 'ome again. Maribelle and the boys must be so 'appy now that she's 'ome." She turned her attention from the pies to Mr. Todd. "She also says 'ello."

Meanwhile, Anastasia and Johanna were having a grand time at the market. They were gathering some special ingrediants for the dinner celebration. Anastasias mind then went to Sweeney Todd, Johannas father. How was she going to tell Joey?

Johanna looked at her friend. "Something wrong, Annie?"

Anastasia gave her a sheepish smile. "Oh, nothing. Just having alot to think about."

Back at home, the girls began to have a long chat with Anastasias brothers. Maribelle looked happily at the children. It was a dream come true to have both Johanna and Anastasia home again. Turpin has made them miserable for so long that even she couldn't stand it. The way he abuses Anastasia just broke her heart, because this is what her neice had chosen to help pay off their debts and she couldn't do anything about it. It practicly killed her brothers, knowing that they can't protect their dear sister.

But none of that mattered now. She was home, and is staying for two months. As much as that made everyone happy, they had wished that both Johanna and Anastasia could stay forever. But that would take a miracle for it to happen.

Little did she know that that miracle was going to happen soon.
