Isabelle was in Ratigan, her head tilting as she looked at the object that baffled her.

It was Ratigan's king coat that he wore at the Diamond Jubilee.

It was purple and decorated with large medals and a golden belt.

It was so...flashy.

She heard Ratigan come in and he looked at her, chuckling.

"You like it?" he asked, making Isabelle look at him with a smirk and shook her head.

"Not really."

Ratigan's ears flattened at that declaration, so Isabelle continued.

"Its too flashy, someone could go blind just looking at you."

Ratigan just stared at Isabelle in disbelief.

"It's regal!"

"It's flashy!"

Ratigan groaned as he turned around to leave, with Isabelle on his heels, saying just why the coat was so flashy.

AN: Here is the first chapter of The Mastermind and The Thief, a story of ficlets or clips of Isabelle and Ratigan. There will be humor, angst, smut and fluff. I will end this at 100 chapters, so stay tuned!

So, in this chapter, Isabelle comments on Ratigan's king coat. I have no idea how they got it back, but for the sake of the story, Ratigan somehow got it back. Seriously, have you looked at that thing? It's so damn flashy! Ratigan really must appreciate the finer things in life, LOL!

Anyway, enjoy, comments are loved and I don't own Ratigan, just Isabelle!
