A/N: So, I'm gonna kind of make these next few oneshots a series based off the musical Bonnie & Clyde. This first one will be based off the song Picture Show, which is the opening of the musical. I hope you enjoy!

Even at the age of 11, David Jacobs always knew what he was planning to do with his life.

He wanted to be a writer and a teacher, that was his dream. He wanted to be someone that everyone talked about, to be the one little kids looked up to and would think, "That's my hero!"

The one who inspired those same little kids to learn, and to educate themselves.

He could see himself, living his life out peacefully yet famously.

Those are things you take a chance for.

The idea of having his face on every magazine and paper was a dream come true, and he was determined to end up as a main attraction.

When Louis Ballatt was 11, he was a little more different from David Jacobs, he still wanted to be in the spotlight of course.

Louis wanted all the attention he could get, but in a bad way.

He wanted to live the life of an outlaw, to be like Billy the Kid, Al Capone, and all those other great criminals.

As a little boy, he could imagine what he would do when the law would have him surrounded, how he would shoot his way out.

He unfortunately imagined those things too often and he lost his eye from playing with too many guns.

He liked to think that even with only one eye, he still had the looks that everyone goes for.

He believed there was nothing he couldn't do with a gun.

When David turned the age of 15, he was getting all the best grades and attracting some girls even.

David wasn't interested in the girls though, he just continued to think about his education.

Davey's focus on school never stopped his imagination though, he still dreamed of a day where all of his hard work would pay off.

A day where he could ride horses and maybe even own a jazz bar after working so hard all of his life.

At 15, Louis had found himself going by the nickname, "Kid Blink" due to his eye.

He wore a pirate patch now since he didn't like people being able to just look at it so easily.

Louis' family was finding themselves stuck in poverty and had to move to support themselves better.

It was at this point in his life that Louis knew what he needed to do, he wanted to make a whole lot of money to support himself.

He didn't want to count cents like his parents, he wanted to be able to wear Sunday clothes on a Tuesday, and those were dreams he was determined to achieve.

At 22, David and Louis were in the same place but yet still in different directions.

David was a waiter in the small town, he was married but his wife was in jail.

He never really cared about her so it didn't matter to him, his mother was the one who made him marry the girl.

It didn't mean his heart was any less hurt from being abandoned the way he was.

After all, he only got to be a husband for about 6 months before she got herself in jail, and that's where she would be for a while.

David wanted to get out of the small town, go somewhere he would feel more useful.

At the town in Texas, no one needed a teacher for their small schoolhouse.

He needed to go to a place where he was needed and could make a difference.

Being a waiter for a few bucks wasn't the dream he imagined, and it sure wasn't the way to getting into magazines.

Even as the Judge spoke to Louis and his older brother, Jack, it didn't stop him from not feeling guilty about what crime he just committed.

The brothers had been found guilty on one count of burglary, and two counts of auto theft, and was being sentenced to serve two years at the McLennan County Jail.

This didn't affect Louis, he was already prepared to escape the prison if it was the last thing he'd do.

As Louis was dragged with his brother to get their mugshots, he kept thinking about Al Capone.

How Al Capone was just like Louis when he started, and how Al Capone made it big.

Louis wanted to be just like him, and he knew that he was going to do more.
