I've decided to put Evil Walks on hold, hell; I might re-edit the already posted chapters of that story before I continue. Anyway, I've decided to go through with this story first. Of course, this is the sequel to Beat the Parents, and will feature the mayhem prior to a wedding that would be any bride and groom's worse nightmare, with of course, the ever so hilariousness. And I don't own any of the Sly Cooper characters, except for Juan, Julio, Eliza, Maria, Enrique, Tanner, and Alexia. So on with the show…er…I mean fic.

Sly Cooper, raccoon of both sides of the law, woke up to the sun in his eyes and his ladylove next to him. And no, he didn't do that. He smiled for a moment and turned to his fiancée.

"Time to wake up Carmelita," he whispered in her ear.

"Five more minutes," she moaned back.

Sly chuckled. He had never heard her say that on a workday.

"We need to get ready for work," he said again.

Suddenly, her hand came up and shoved his face away. "Fine, I'm up."

Sly leaned back in his chair. It was a slow day, and there was nothing worth sending an Interpol Elite. But then again, he'd rather be in one piece for when he met up with Carmelita's family for the second time later that day.

"So Carm," Sly teased. "Any chance your dad isn't gonna shoot me in the back again?"

"Oh shut up Ringtail," Carmelita answered, heading for the door. "As long as he doesn't know we sleep together he won't so much as try to mop the floor with your ass."

As soon as Carmelita opened the door, Tanner stumbled in. Carmelita simply ignored him and left, but Sly looked annoyed.

"Tanner?" Sly asked. "What were you doing?"

"Listening in on your deepest secrets," Tanner shrugged.

"Nice excuse," Sly sarcastically said.

"So, you are sleeping with Carm, huh?" Tanner said with devilish grin.

"Hold on, nothing happened, we simply slept," Sly said.

"Yeah right!" Tanner smirked.

Sly said, obviously annoyed. "So get out!"

Just as he opened the door to motion Tanner to get out, Alexia stumbled in.

"Uh…I was just crushing a bug on your door with my ear," she said.

Sly turned around to Tanner. "See! Now this is an excuse I'm looking for!"

Meanwhile, in the break room…

"What's Sly's problem?" Alexia asked.

"Carm's dad shot him and her brother nearly broke his nose," Tanner said, not looking up from his magazine.

During his last visit, Sly was scared to death by Carmelita's dad, Juan Fox. While he managed to win over everyone else, his soon-to-be father-in-law managed to shoot him in the back after revealing his deep dark secret. Now tonight, they were going to drive down to Cadiz to join the family again, for the final preparations for their wedding. Even with everything ready, why did he feel that things would be going to hell in a hand basket? If only he knew…
