Manic explains everything to Teagan about who he really is, who Sonia and Manic is what he has been doing for the last two years. He saw Teagan had trouble believing him so he tries his best for her to understand.
"Prince, I'm confused." Teagan admits.
Manic sighs.
"Yeah, it's like that." Manic says.
Teagan sighs. They then stop and Manic looks back to see they were back at the hideout. Manic sighs as he got up and Teagan looks up at him.
"Come on." Manic says, putting his hand out.
Teagan grabs it and Manic pulls her up as Sonia and Sonic jumps out.
"I don't like this or them." Teagan tells Manic.
"I know." Manic says.
The pair walks out.
"Okay, what is going on?" Sonic asks.
Teagan sighs.
"It's kinder a long story." Manic replies. "Look, she's an old friend of mine and I thought Robotnik got to her so if you two don't mind. We have a lot of catching up to do." Manic tells them, grabbing Teagan's hand.
He then starts walking, dragging Teagan along.
"Old friend." Teagan whispers.
Manic sighs. They found a spot alone and Manic made sure.
"So, when are you going to tell them?" Teagan asks.
"Soon, I promise." Manic assures her.
Teagan sighs.
"Why am I here Manic?" Teagan asks.
"Because I want to talk to you, I thought you were roboticized." Manic replies.
Teagan sighs.
"I don't even know you anymore Manic." Teagan whispers.
Manic sighs.
"I want to go home." Teagan whines.
"Where do you live?" Manic asks.
"My cubby house." Teagan replies. "Robotnik's robots didn't touch it when they attack. I guess they didn't see it since it is hidden in the tree." Teagan explains.
Manic nods.
"Why didn't I think of that?" Manic asks himself.
Teagan sighs as Sonic and Sonia walks over.
"I'm taking Teagan home" Manic tells them.
"We'll all go." Sonia says.
Manic nods. They go in the underground van and headed off. Manic points the way while Teagan stood by him. Once there, they got out and look up at the cubby house. It was a nice size and has a veranda at the front. Teagan flies up and kicks the ladder down. Manic grabbed it first and climbed up with Sonia and Sonic. Manic follows Teagan into the cubby house and looks around, a lot has changed since he was in here last. To the left was a single bed, which wasn't made, right under the window, by it was a three draw bedside table, a dressing table, a tall white cabinet with a glass door with a shoe boxes on shelf, a brown jewellery box and the last one was empty and has two draws at the bottom, and a large chest next to that. To the left was a bookshelf full of books and a two draw bedside table by it. By the door was a four draw dresser draws with a bow and quiver sitting on top. Sonic and Sonia then walk in and looks around.
"This is small." Sonia says.
Teagan sighs as she sits the bag on the dressing table and takes the scarf off, sitting it on the bag. Manic walks over and saw a picture of him when he was ten and Teagan when she was nine. Manic picks it up and smiles.
"You still got it." Manic says.
Teagan smiles.
"Of course I do." Teagan says.
Manic sits it down.
"You better go." Teagan says.
"Come on Manic." Sonic says walking out.
Sonia sighs.
"Take your time Manic." Sonia says, then follows Sonic.
Manic walks up to Teagan who cross her arms.
"Go Manic." Teagan whispers.
"Can we talk, please?" Manic pleads.
"I thought I knew you Manic." Teagan whispers. "But as you said to your sibs, I'm just an old friend."
"Teagan, don't be like that." Manic pleads, then sighs. "I'll be back, tonight." Manic tells her.
Teagan sighs, then nods.
"Go." Teagan says.
Manic leaves. He got in the van and sat on his bed. He then has a flashback of two years ago before he lost her.
Flashback {Two years ago}
A 14-year old year old Teagan and a 15 year old Manic are walking around the streets of Robotropolis, laughing. They then headed down into the sewage and headed back home.
"Okay, that was way too close." Teagan tells him.
"It was." Manic says as they made it to their hideout.
They saw Ferrell waiting for them. Manic hands the bag over and Ferrell smiles.
"Good job you pair." Ferrell says. "Go and rest." he then says.
The pair walks off.
"I'm not tired." Teagan says. "And I do not want to go home yet." Teagan admits.
"Then don't." Manic says as he grabs Teagan's hand.
He pulls her close.
"Manic." Teagan whines.
Manic chuckles.
"Really Manic?" Teagan says.
"Really." Manic says, then pulls her into a kiss.
Teagan went red. Manic broke the kiss and Teagan looks at him shock and confused.
"What is it?" Manic asks.
"Nothing." Teagan replies as she pulls her hand free and wraps her arms around Manic.
"Cool." Manic says, pulling into another kiss, grabbing her hips.
End of Flashback
Manic shacks his head back to reality as Sonia walks over to him. He didn't notices they were back at the hideout.
"Are you okay?" Sonia asks worry.
"Yeah, just thinking about Teagan." Manic replies as he got up.
"There is something more between you and Teagan." Sonia says.
Manic sighs.
"Sonic's in the kitchen." Sonia tells him.
"Okay, two years ago we started dating." Manic admits. "Then I met you and Sonic, and we hit the road. One of the night I disappeared last year was to see her, but the house was burnt down, so was her friends so I just assumed Robotnik got to her and she was roboticized. That's why I was upset last year, I thought I lost her." Manic explains.
Sonia sighs.
"I'm sorry." Sonia says.
"Don't be." Manic says. "But I want to see her tonight so can you cover for me with Sonic, I don't think he would like the idea of me leaving to see her." Manic explains.
"Of course." Sonia says.
Manic smiles.
"Thanks sis." Manic says.
Sonia smiles.
