*Mad science is never as easy as it sounds. Once you tamper in God's domain the physics grow a bit shaky, and it's so easy to miscalculate. One cell overlooked, and you've created an entirely different monster than you had in mind,
Or, in this case, one more clone than you intended.
In the dead of night, something left Magenta's lab. Memory hazy in certain areas, all it- or rather, she- knew for certain was who had saved her from Dracula's castle. Who had listened to her when she was at the point of insanity. And this unintended copy knocked on Sweeney Todd's door.*

Sweeney answered the door. Seeing who it was, his eyes widened.

*The thing- it could only be called Irene- reached out and tried to touch his arm*
"I love you", *she said.* "I shouldn't have gone away."

He stared at her for another moment.
"You're... sure?"

*Irene and the rabid fangirl inside her authoress nodded*
"Do you want me?"

"More than anything," he replied without hesitation.

*She fell into his arms, holding him tightly, certain of nothing except that she was where she wanted to be.*

Sweeney put his arms around her and tilted her face up to his. He leaned in and hesitated before closing the space between them with a kiss.

*It would be a good bet that both of them were happier than they'd been in a long time.
The future was uncertain. After they left Paris, where could they go? And there would be nights of Todd hiding bodies, and Irene tossing and turning with nightmares, and the fact that she would die while he lived on. But for a demon barber and a cloned actress, you take happy endings where you can find them.*
