-Manic P.O.V.-

I was walking through the streets of Robotropolis. I hope no one would recognize me as 'Prince Manic Hedgehog'. I had no idea what I was doing, but I was hungry. Then I saw an apple stand down the road. So me being me, I walk up to it. I just stood there for a bit, but then took 4 red apples and walked off. No one knew I took them and I was happy about that. I went back to the van where me and my sibs live, Sonic and Sonia. But no one was there, so I sat outside the van. Then I pulled an apple out and started eating it. I was waiting for Sonic and Sonia to get back from what ever they were doing. I have no idea I left them. Then I hear footsteps and see it was them. They weren't very happy, and when they saw what I was eating they just gave me a dirty look.

"Where did you go and where did you get that?" Sonic asked me clearly upset. I swallowed the mouthful of apple I had and I started to think.

"Ummmmm…" I couldn't think of anything. Man I was going to get it.

"You stole it didn't you!" Sonia accused me.

"So what if I did!" I shot back

"Manic! What did we tell you about stealing! Damn it bro!" Sonic butted in.

"I was hungry and I wanted some apples! So what!"

"So how many did you take bro?" Sonic asked me crossing his arms

"Four!" I folded my ears back waiting for them to yell. Sonia was the first to get mad.

"Four! Manic Hedgehog we have food in the van! You didn't have to steal! Your nothing but a…a"

"Go on! Say it! I'm nothing but a sewer rat!" I'm yelling now but I don't care anymore.

"I wasn't going to say that! But you are!" Sonia yelled stamping her foot.

"You're nothing but a thief! And you need to stop!" Sonic pointed at me, with distrust in his eyes.

"Is that what you think" I yelled jumping to my feet. I throw the apple and run into the van, were I grab my backpack and pack it. Then I grab my hover-board and ran back outside where Sonic and Sonia were standing with their arms crossed.

"And where do you think you're going?" Sonic glared at me

"If that is what you think about me! That I'm a thief! That I'm a sewer rat! Then fine! I'm going!" I shot back as I walked off.

"What!" Sonic and Sonia asked with disbelief

"You can't go bro! What about mum?" Sonic asked me

"I don't know! But this is goodbye! Forever and I don't want to see you two again" I said as I jump on my hover-board and left. I didn't look back but I did hear their voices.

"Manic!" Sonia yelled

"Don't do this bro!" Sonic yelled as well. That's all I heard them say. I was heading to the forest. I'll rest once I get there.

-Sonic P.O.V.-

I don't believe it. He's gone. No! He's my brother he can't go. What about mum? I look at Sonia. She was in tears. I gave her a hug.

"Oh Sonic what have we done?" She asked me crying into my fur.

"I don't know sis." I told her softly

"We have to do something? He could get hurt." Sonia told me with fear in her eyes.

I nodded "Let's go."

"Where? We don't know where he's going." She asked me confused.

"I know but we have to tell Cyrus. He could also help us and then we look for Manic." I told her with determination in my voice.

"Right, could you drive?" She asked me wiping her eyes.

"Sure sis." I smiled at her. So we got in the van. I sat in the driver seat and Sonia sat next to me. She was still crying, but there's nothing I can do. So I started to drive back to base to ask Cyrus for his advice on Manic and where he could go. Oh and if Robotnik was around.
