After rewatching the cutscenes of Crash Twinsanity (my #1 fav Crash game) on YouTube, I saw the scene of Crash and Cortex being invited for a therapy session. So naturally, I thought to myself “what other duo could have a moment like this?”, and Sly Cooper and Carmelita Fox was the first to come to my mind, and that’s how this piece came to be. :D (Big Grin)

In fact, I’ve written what the scene would be like! You can read it below:

---

Therapist: “Okay. Now, the two of you have been asked to begin these therapy sessions so that we work through the conflict apparent in your relationship. This week, we’re going to do a trust exercise.”

“Carmelita, let’s start with you. I would like you to fold your arms over your chest, close your eyes and fall backwards.”

(Carmelita doesn’t like where this is headed. She looks at the camera startled and a record scratch is heard)

“Sly, your job is easy. Just catch Carmelita as she falls. We want her to know that she is in a safe place.”

Sly: “No problem! Chivalry is one of my strong points. It runs in my family.”

Carmelita: “I don’t think this is going to work. He’s a criminal! And I don’t even trust him!”

“Besides, I have a fear of falling backwards…”

Sly: “Oh, please, Carmelita. I’ll hold still, trust me!”

(After 3 seconds of silence, Carmelita reluctantly resigns)

Carmelita: “Okay, fine! Let’s do this estúpido trust exercise!” (Carmelita closes her eyes and crosses her arms, preparing to fall. Suddenly, a clue bottle rolls across the floor between her and Sly.)

“I’m in a safe place… I’m in a safe place… I’m in a safe place…” (Sly notices the bottle and starts following it as it rolls away.)

(Carmelita falls backwards but Sly doesn’t catch her. She lands on the floor’s carpet.) COOPER!!!, Carmelita exclaims in frustration. (Sly looks at her with a smug look on his face.)

Carmelita: “Ugh, how I hate that ringtail.”
