CASINO NIGHT

TAILS MEETS SONIC WHO IS TAPPING HIS FEET COMICALLY FAST NEAR A TRAVELLING CIRCUS

Tails: Okay, I got quite a bit of money from the garage this week, but not THAT much, how'd you do?

SONIC PULLS OUT $75

Tails: WOW! How did you get all that money?

Sonic: Yeah…let's just say it involved a favour, a circus and a VERY big hamster wheel…

Tails: We still need more money if we're going to buy a new plane

Sonic: Yeah…if only I could buy back my dignity…

Tails: ?

Sonic: God I hate the circus….

(Title sequence SONIC BOOM)

Sonic: So, if we're going to go on our little "treasure hunt" then we've got to find SOME way of getting a new plane

Tails: Hey, I think have an idea!

Sonic: Shoot

Tails: Well there's this place a few miles from here where people can win money, it's called a Casino

Sonic: Cool, how do you win?

Tails: I don't know, I've never been to one, but the good news is that you can sometimes win loads from it

Sonic: And the bad news?

Tails: You…have to be with a grown up to go in…

Sonic: Oh don't worry, I'VE got that covered

LATER THAT EVENING, AT THE CASINO, SONIC AND TAILS WALK UP TO THE ENTRANCE WHEN A HUMAN SECURITY GUARD SPOTS THEM

Guard: Hey kids! You can't go in without-

SONIC BURSTS INTO TEARS

Sonic: I LOST MY MOM!

Guard: Uhhh…

SONIC'S CRYING FIT STARTS TO ATTRACT GLANCES FROM PASSING PEOPLE

Guard: Uhh…okay kid, calm down and tell me what happened

Sonic: (Sniffs) My Mom…brought me and my brother here to…eat at the restaurant part…

Guard: You're brothers? But you're different-

Sonic: He's adopted…

TAILS WINCES, THE GUARD DOESN'T NOTICE

Sonic: I LOST MY MOMMMM!

Tails: When the crowds started getting bigger we got lost and now mommy's gone in without us!

Guard: Well I…still can't really let you in here, but maybe we-

Sonic: I LOST MY MO-!

Guard: Okay, okay I'll let you wait in the office and I'll try and find your mother, jeez…names?

Tails: I'm Miles Tailer and this is my brother Cinos Needlemouse

SONIC WINCES, THE GUARD DOESN'T NOTICE

THE GUARD LEADS SONIC AND TAILS INTO A SMALL OFFICE

Guard: okay, you kids stay here and I'll see if I can find your mother

THE GUARD LEAVES THE ROOM

Sonic: Cinos Needlemouse? Seriously?

Tails: What? Cinos is Sonic spelled backwards and Needlemouse is what some people call hedeghogs

Sonic: Yeah well "some people" have SERIOUS issues…

SONIC AND TAILS LEAVE THE OFFICE AND GO INTO THE CASINO AREA

Sonic: Whoa, this place is HUUUGE

Tails: Look!

TAILS POINTS OUT A BIPLANE WHICH IS THE GRAND PRIZE AT HUGE PINBALL TABLE

Tails: It's just what we want! It's fast! It's sleek!

Sonic: It's BLUE!

Tails: …

Sonic: What? It is…

Tails: Yeah, now we just need to figure out how to play

A NEARBY GUARD OVERHEARS THE TWO

Guard: Good luck, its 18 and over kid

Tails: What does that mean?

Guard: Means you can't play, hey where are your parents?

Sonic: Bathroom…

Guard: I meant hi-

Sonic: Brother…

Guard: But your-

Sonic: Adopted…

Guard: (sigh)…whatever

THE GUARD LEAVES

Sonic: Well NOW what?

Vector: AHHH DANG IT! I'M BROKE!

Sonic: Huh?

SONIC AND TAILS LOOK TOWARDS THE PINBALL CONTROLS AND SEE A CROCADILE STOMPING AWAY FROM THEM, HE NEARLY COLLIDES WITH THE TWO BEFORE SONIC GRAGS TAILS AND JUMPS OUT THE WAY

Sonic: HEY! Watch where you're going!

Vector: Whoa! Do that again kid!

Sonic: Do what?

Vector: The ball, the spin, the JUMPING thing!

Sonic: What you mean this?

SONIC JUMPS, SPINNING IN THE AIR AS HE DID SO

Vector: Yeah THAT! Could you do me a favour?

Sonic: If it has ANYTHING to do with a circus I swear I'm gonna-

Vector: No! No! I want you to climb in that pinball thing, curl up and pretend to be one of the balls and then help me get the jackpot!

Sonic: Okay…and WHY would I do that?

Vector: We'll call it splits! I get the money and you…er…I'll sell that PLANE and you can get the money!

Sonic: I don't know, ever heard the phrase "Never trust a snake"?

Vector: Alright A: I'm a croc and B: That's not the point! Listen kid, I've in loads of depth, you've gotta HELP me!

Tails: Sonnnic…

Sonic: (groans) ugh…somehow I KNOW I'm gonna-

5 MINUTES LATER

Sonic: -REGRET THISSSS!

SONIC BOUNCES WILDLY AROUND THE PINBALL TABLE, REPEATEDLY HITTING THE SIDES AS HE DID

Vector: To the left! LEFT!

Sonic: How am I supposed to know which way is left!? I'm rolling around at the speed of SOUND here!

SONIC GETS CAUGHT IN A NARROW GAP, RAPIDDLY HITTING THE TWO SIDES, A GUARD THEN APPROACHES THE TABLE WHERE VECTOR IS PLAYING

Sonic: OOF! OUCH! AHHH!

Guard: Uhhh...is that pinball screaming?

Vector: OH NO that's just my…erm…BATTLE CRY I do when playing these things, ya know? "Oh, oh, yeaahhh!" Heh heh...

Guard: Sure…

THE GUARD WALKS OFF

Guard: Weirdo…

Vector: Alright! Now don't move!

Sonic: What? Why? OWW!

VECTOR FINALLY MANAGED TO MANOUVER SONIC INTO THE WINNING SLOT, THE WINNING ALARMS START GOING OFF

Vector: YES! JACKPOT!

Sonic: (muffled) Uhh…how do get out of here?

Vector: Uh oh…

MANY MINUTES LATER

Sonic: ugh…glad to be out of THERE

Vector: Good thing I always keep butter handy

Sonic: Yeah...I've never been so desperate for a shower

Vector: Alright then! I'll just sell that pane and-

Tails: Wait! Err…sir we actually WANT that plane

Vector: Ahh don't give me all that sir stuff, call me Vector, sure you can have the plane…a deal's a deal after all uhhh…I have NO idea what your name is…

Tails: Oh, Miles Tailer, Cinos needle-

Sonic: Miles "Tails" Prower, Sonic the hedgehog…

Tails: Sonnnic!

Sonic: Hey! I just went through a sadistic table of horrors and then got covered in ancient smelly butter GIVE ME A BREAK!

Vector: Okaaay…well if your ever in need of my services then here's my card

VECTOR HANDS SONIC AN HASTILLY HANDWRITTEN CARD SAYING "CHAOTIX DETECTIVE AGENCY" AND A PHONE NUMBER

Vector: Yeah, it's kinda what got me in depth in the first place buuuut thanks to YOU I don't have to worry about that

Sonic: Oookay thanks I guess, later Vector

Vector: Till next time!

SONIC AND TAILS MAKE THEIR WAY OUT OF THE CASINO WITH THEIR NEW PLANE AND SET IT UP FOR TAKE OFF

Sonic: Alright Tails let's get moving…Tails?

SONIC TURNS AROUND TO SEE TAILS BEING HELD BY ONE OF ROBOTNIK'S ROBOTS

Sonic: SERIOUSLY? I turned my back for 1 second!

Eggman: (through speaker) Well a second was all I needed rodent! NOW to reclaim the artefact that was FOOLISHLY dropped from my ship!

Knack: (through speaker) What can I say? I was blinded when the moonlight shined off your bald head

Eggman: QUIET YOU!

Tails: SONIC! CATCH!

TAILS PULLS AN ARM FREE AND THROWS SONIC THE CHAOS EMERALD

Eggman: (through speaker) Oh son of a…FINE! You may hold on to that gem for me for now hedgehog, but If you ever wish to see your friend ALIVE again I suggest you deliver it to me in the next 24 hours! Ta ta!

THE ROBOT BEGINS TO FLY OFF

Eggman: WHOO HA HA HA HA (cough) (cough) (splutter)

AWKWARD SILENCE

Sonic: Oh crud…
