Chapter 15: It's Time!

- I DONT OWN ANY SEGA CHARACTERS - I hope you like and enjoy~

Manic and Scourge sits in silence each one at the end of the couch. Manic looks over a Scourge just a little so he does not notice, he starts to think about why he did not what to lift up his shirt, he had so many questions for him but Manic knew he was never going to get them. But he decided to take a jump and ask...

"Scourge?"

"Hum?"

"...what do you not want to show your chest?"

Scourge froze and felt tension in his body, he did not dare to look over at Manic cause his knew he would face him. So he sat there for a little and thought of a good excuse.

"I don't like to show my chest. I'm just self conscious about it." Solid enough for Scourge but was it enough for Manic?

"Really? I never knew. I just thought you had a bad body."

"HA! No. I have a great body... it's just I do t show it off"

So his excuse worked it was fine. He was in the clear, until Manic asked another question...

"But I also want to know one more thing? Who's Cane."

"Uhh... He's my stupid boss!"

"He sounds like he can't do things on his own, since he asked you and your friend for help." Manic Chuckled, a little under his breath but Scourge heard and did the same. It went quiet for a little but Scourge decide to talk first.

"So. Thanks, for helping me home, and helping me get out of the bank.."

"No problem. OH! That reminds me." Manic walks over to the door and licks up the bag he brought.

"You still have that! And you've been caring it around!!"

"Yup~ I wanted to give you your prizes. I thought it would be rude to just take the gems and money and go, because you were the one that got tased..."

"Your not going to let that go..."

"Nope~!"

Manic sits by Scourge closer to him this time so they both can see in the bag. Manic pulls out small gems that made him 'Aww' at it. Scourge grabbed the money in the bag and started to count.

"You know we don't make a bad team~" Manic winked and Scourge.

"Yeah...I guess not."

"AW MAN!" Scourge looks over to Manic who has a look disappointment on his face.

"What's wrong?"

"The ear piece that I wanted. It's not in here. MAN! It was a nice one to!!" Manic threw the bag to his side and just looked down.

"Chill. It was just a ear piece..."

"OH Noooo! It wasn't. It was a fine piece of work. Coated with GOLD! And it had the most unique shape. It wasn't like this one I have in my ear!"

"You must have really wanted it."

"Yeah! I've been eyeing it for weeks! And when I get the shot, BAM! BOOM! I blew IT!"

Manic huffs and sits next to Scourge with his arms crossed. Scourge smiles at Manic's tantrum, but stops before he can see.

"What did the ear piece look like?"

Manic grabs his phone from his pocket and pulls up a photo.

"It's called a Eminence cuff."

"Eminence? Sounds like it coast Billions!!"

"Yeah...well I kinda does.."

"Don't worry I'm sure you'll get the chance again"

"Yeah...maybe"

They both just sit and talk for a while, about how they are going to split the money and the gems, Scourge brings up Manic tantrum cause he feels it's safe to say something, Manic just huffs and looks displeased. They find out they have some things in common, Scourge and Manic play's a instrument but different kinds, they both have been on there own for a while...except Scourge did not give much detail on why he was alone for a while and he never said how long he just 'for a while' and that they both a great thief's. They talk for a little longer until Manic gets a surprise call.

"Hey~" Manic says into his phone

"Yeah I'm fine...huh?...no no no no, that's doesn't start in a one more week...FOR REAL!!...well how long do we have...END OF THIS WEEK NOOO!!!!...yeah yeah I'll be there..."

Scourge looks at him confused and try's to ask what was that about but Manic already was talking.

"They moved up the performance to this week on Saturday...we're so screwed!!"

"What! For the cut off at the club!?"

"Yeah. Lady thought it would be a 'good idea'... well screw her great idea..."

"Okay calm down, we have to get you going on this!"

With that Scourge gets up slowly. And takes Manic's hand and heads out the door to Chris's house.

"I don't want to lose!" Manic looks scared which male Scourge feel bad cause he got him into this. Scourge just try's and says something positive towards him which kinda works.

"Don't worry I'll make sure you won't lose. I'll put ever thing I know into this song. And then you and your team will be the best!"

Manic is just shocked at what he said he would make sure they won't lose, this made Manic smile and start to walk faster to Chris's house where his band mates awaits.
