It's been a few weeks since Sly became Constable Cooper and he was already on a case chasing after a theif a lot like himself but a little less experienced one at that but what really concerned him was that he had not seen Lydia at all not since that night on the roof it was rather concerning to say the least.

However, back to the task at hand he was rather shock that he had found a calling card on his desk one evening when he came to lock it up after a hard days work it was a shooting star calling card and he knew of only one theif who had that type of calling card an old friend of his.

Standing next to the fountain he gazed deep into its waters thinking back on everything he had done and wondering how his childhood best friends Murry and Bentley were doing not really paying any attention to his surroundings he jumpped when he felt a tap to his shoulder.

Spining around he unholstered his shock pistol pointing at whoever tapped only for it to be snatched out of his hand by a cane hissing slightly as it cut the back of his hand he looked up shocked as he watched the pistol be spun around a finger.

"Well well Sly Cooper a little bird told me that you've been looking for me" stated a female voice as she walked forward and into the light she was a wolf her apperance was the same as Lydia only more modern as her outfit was almost the same as him apart from the fact she wore a skirt and the colours were diffrent her cane was paractily the same apart from the star on the very tip.

"Ahh Sasha I thought you may have been a no show after everything that's happened laterly" chuckled Sly as he crossed his arms smiling at the female theif "hmm I almost didn't show up after all I have my own problems as of late" she stated tossing the pistol back to sly.

Sly caught it with ease holstering it once more "look Sasha I called you out of hiding because I was wondering about your line of family I know its the same as my own but I got a little more cerious as of late" responded Sly only to recive a raised eye brow in return.

"Umm ok then since your a fellow theif or was and still are a friend what do you want to know?" she questioned sitting down on the ridge of the fountain as she looked at him.

"Well you know of my ansestor Rioichi Cooper was there someone from your family around the same time?" he asked sitting nexted to her he watched as she tapped her chin deep in thought.

"Well yes there was Chiyoko Swift she was also a master ninja and theif while renown for her noodles and rice dishes she stated in our book that she often encountered Rioichi becoming friends during the night and rivals during the day" she answered giggling a little at the comment of friends not really going into detail about it.

"Ok then how about the time of Sir Galleth" asked Sly a bit impressed about the Japanese ansestors.

"Well that's a really funny one Harley Swift is the gal your after she was being courted by Sir Galleth before she well umm died early due to an accident with a bunch of amature theives in someone else's hand writing it states that our book would be passed down onto her child if he was found anyway" responed Sasha shaking her head at the tale she had told or at least a shorter version of it.

"Not really sure what to say to that ok then dare I ask around the time of my ansestor Tennessee Kid Cooper?" asked Sly his heart and mind filling with dread at what her answer may be.

"Not really much is known about her other than she worked with your ansestor for quite sometime before just vanishing for a couple of years there no records in the swift book about where she went but she did return later and ended up marrying Tennessee but apart from that she was pretty much a no show there's not even a name in the book" shrugged Sasha.

Now Sly was begining to get concerned because Sasha had all but confinermed his surspisons but he can't really comfront her about it she would most likely hit him with the sharpe end of her cane which he rather not have anymore injures. They sat there in silance just enjoying each others company after having not seen each other after the events of Clockla when she had helpped out in a pretty rough spot before disappearing again.

The Swift clan like the coopers were also master thieves but they often work alone or with a Cooper which was the case most of the time. The Swifts calling card often always had something to do with the stars in one way or another they were often called falling miracles by the Cooper clan however, the swifts book called the 'Theiving Stars' had very little in it unlike the Coopers book it had the basics and all the their techniques but a lot of the pages were missing from their book having been ripped out by the very ansestor and hidden away for a Swift to find when the time was right.

"Hey Sasha I was wondering could I have a look at the Theving Stars" asked Sly bracing himself for a hit to the head as talking about looking at other theives clan books was very dangerous at most times you would have to trust the other current member of the caln completely.

Sly was met with silance before he felt something land in his lap looking down he was shocked to see the book 'Theving Stars' along with a calling card that had writing on the back of it. Picking up the book Sly read out loud what was written on the calling card.

"Sly you know something's up and you won't tell but you have your reasons I'm sure and because of this I'm letting you look at the book but I want it back on the day you decide to go back to your theving days. Oh and don't worry about Murry and Bentley there fine" it was a short message but it was well meant and it held a lot of weight to it as Sly now had to guard this book with his life.

Picking up the book as he stood he made his way home once he was there and had locked the front door again he set it down on the table as he fixed himself something to drink glancing at it out of the corner of his eye he frowned before going over to the table and taking a seat and opening the book.

There were a lot of pages missing as the first entery was that of her Japanese ansestor Chiyoko Swift it was concering to say the least he began to read but discovered that some of the writing was actrully Rioichi Coopers but what really confused him was the splatter of dried blood on the pages where the writing changed into his ansestors there was a picture of her and he was surprised to see a mix of Raccoon and Wolf but could clearly see the resemblence between Sasha , Lydia and her.

Turing to the next entry as he could see that the japanese one was not complete it seemed to skip backwards in time because next came her ansestor from the 1300 medeival england Harley Swift there was a bit more here than before and he snickered at some of the comments of his ansestor Sir Galleth Cooper but then it aburuptly stopped with another splat of blood when like Sasha said was a message that was written by Sir Galleth.

Sly continued this pattern for a few more but it stopped at a page with no name where there was only a few words written and they were the same as what Sasha had said but there was not splat of blood though and no writting from his ansestor Tennessee but Sly was sure that this was Lydia Swift page there must of been a reason for her name not to be there.

It was starting to give Sly a head ache as he was only given more questions than answers he slipped it into the bag that he took to the Office at the Interpol station and went to bed forgetting about it for awhile.

*Months later*

Sly was really enjoying his relationship with Carmelita even though it was only happening because she thought he had amnesia but he didn't but he had a problem the itch was coming back to bite him which was rather cruel but he only stole from other thieves while he casing a place from an upstart art collecter his old friend Bentley showed up out of the blue.

Seeing him was a real surprise for Sly but what was worse was who was with him and Murry when they met up again at the old Paris hideout Sasha was also there leaning against the wall with a smile on her face that's when Bentley said that there was also a problem with her family book as well as the pages that weren't ripped out were disappearing as well once I had handed him the book which was in my bag.

Shooting Sasha a worried look which she happily ignored before Sly turned back to Murry who almost broke his hand when he held it up for a high five after one of Bentley's rather boring but useful presntations they were shock when he revealed that he already had the answer time travel but in order for it to work they needed something from that time period.

Looking at both of the clans books they noticed that their first stop was frudal Japan and the dagger that Sly had noticed before Bentley showed up was exsactly what they needed the idea was that he was to go and retrieve it.

Everyone had a part to play only that Sasha was to stay with the van and guard it incase someone tried to steal it she scoffed at the idea but said nothing.

Later that week they started the attempt on the museum which was quite sucsessful even if Carmelita did try to stop Sly as he made his escape he landed on top of the van which ever one was in waiting on him telling Murry to get going which he did with plently of enuthisam.

Once on the other side of the fence Sly swinged down into the van next to Murry with Bentley and Sasha in the back placing the dagger into the receptical Bentley told Murry to punch it and to not slow down they all yelled out as they felt themselves be pulled apart slightly before disappearing in a blue light.

Before this however, they manged to convince Sasha to let their old friend Dimitri hold on to both clan books and that it would be too risky to take it through time with them she agreed although a bit relutently it also kept them away from his fashion criteg which Bentley suffered to briefly which caused Sasha to laugh at his misfortune.

However when they got to Japan they were all left in a state of shock.
