We start our story four mouths later. Manic and Scourge are still 'friends' the band is still the band and Manic is still dating Alex. Manic's birthday and Christmas is coming up, we are in the month of December and Manic's birthday is on the 27th. It's a cold day like any other day, Manic is at home sleeping on his new bed and in his new apartment, the place his and the band play at has a good pay like Scourge said, Club Rider is the hottest club in Mobius and in just two mouths of singing there Manic finally was able to afford a place of his own.

Manic still is sleeping but then a knock on his door interrupted his nice peaceful dream. Manic groans and swing out of bed. He is only wearing his boxers for he throws a rob on and ties it then heads down his hallway.

"Hello." Manic said blankly still tired

"Hey" a blue hedgehog said in a cheerful tone. But Manic just stares darts in Sonics eyes because in was 7:12 in the morning.

"What.The.Hell.Are.You.Doing.Here!"

"I'm here to give you breakfast"

"Why?"

"Because I thought you would like some. Since you don't cook or anything."

"I will not let you wake me up at 7:13 and insult on my door step. And I so can cook!"

"Okay okay I'm sorry. So can I come in, it's cold out here."

"Oh. I don't know. Maybe I'll just close~ the door and let you freeze to Death!"

"Come on bro!"

"Yeah yeah. I was only yanking you chain"

Manic smiles and steps back to let his brother in. They both walk to the kitchen slash dinning room. Sonic sets the food on Manic's table and takes a sit, Manic does the same.

"So. You like it here?" Sonic starts the conversation

"Yeah I do. It's nice to have a quite night"

"You had quite nights back at my place"

"No I did not. Your neighbor was so loud at night!"

"Hah...uh yeah I guess. I just thought you never heard him"

"Why do think I was out all the time"

Sonic doesn't say anything back the whole conversation felt off to him, like Manic was pushing him away. Why. What did Sonic do to Manic that made Manic ack so distant. Finally enough was enough Sonic was going to ask.

"Manic...are you mad at me or something?"

"What makes you think that." Manic let's out bluntly

"Well just the way your actions are speaking"

"My actions huh?"

"Yeah. You just seem distant from me. Well ever since I found you."

"..."

Manic's POV:

Ever since HE found me. Boy do those words cut deep. Does he even know. Does he even know what he didn't DO! He didn't find me, he wasn't looking for me, he was out enjoying his life with his friends. He wasn't looking for me, he didn't find me. Why am I acting like this? HA! It's because I don't want to see you. I haven't seen you in for SO long...yeah maybe when I was fourteen or thirteen I wanted to see you Sonic. But I got over that at age fifteen, I knew you weren't coming, you weren't looking. You know how I know? Because when we were kids you found Sonia and Me so easily when we played hide and seek I thought you cheated, but no. You said you can sense us, you can feel are present. I thought it was just a bunch of crap, but you proved me wrong every time we played hide and seek. You always found us. You said 'I'll always find you guys'...it was true you did always find us, so why did you not find us all those years ago. Did you just not care, could you not sense us? Or were you to happy with you second life, and you didn't even care...to find Sonia and me...*

Manic clenched his fists under the table. He wanted to hit Sonic so bad, but that would get him nowhere so he did what he always does. He hides his anger with a smile. He always does it when people get under his skin. But he mostly does it around Sonic.

"Ha. Sonic I'm not distant, I'm just adjusting to everything around me. I've never really been in one place for so long that's all." Manic said in a cover up happy tone and smile

"Oh. I just thought you were made at me"

"No no. Just adjusting. I'm sorry I've been like this"

"Ah don't worry I was just worried"

you are just now worried?*

"Anyway I have to head off Amy and the gang want to hang out. Oh! You want to come?"

"No. That's fine."

"Alright. Give me a hug~"

"You child"

They both got up and Sonic wraps his arms around Manic but Manic doesn't do the same. He his still just not ready..

"Im glad we got this all cleared up~" Sonic said while hugging Manic.

"Yup me too."

Sonics let's go and smiles at his brother Manic does the same to let his brother know that everything is Fine...

Sonic walks to the door opens it and leaves. Manic still smiling at the door, still wondering, is everything fine...really...

His smile then drops fast and his face goes blank. He didn't know what to think. So he just pack up his food and threw it in the trash.

"I've never needed anything from you."

Beep...Beep

"Who is it now?" Manic walks over to his phone that's on the counter charging. He then picks it up and looks at his screen.

#GreenBean: hey you do remember that we have to meet up at Chris's house.

#Manic: yeah I know. Thanks for the reminder.

#GreenBean: not a problem. Or was that sarcasm I sense over the phone.

#Manic: whatever you want it to be~

#GreenBean: I'll just take it as a reminder. I'm in no mood for a sarcastic tone at the moment.

#Manic: hah! Yeah okay. I'll see you then. Bye

#GreenBean: See you then sweet thang~

#Manic: Don't call me that I have a boyfriend Scourge.

#GreenBean: I was just giving you a compliment. But anyway bye~

Manic puts his phone down and walks upstairs to get dressed. He has a few hours before he heads to Chris's home so he'll just kill time watching T.V.

Downtown-

Scourge is smiling down at his phone after texting Manic. Him and Manic has became a criminal team of Mobius and Scourge enjoyed everyday of it.

"What are you smiling about?" A red fox asked. Scourges smile left so fast after that.

"Nothing Fiona."

"Come on. It was that cute lime hedgehog right?"

"Tch."

"It was~ god Scourge just date him already."

"Fiona I don't date people. And for the last time he has a boyfriend."

"When has that ever stopped you."

"Tch"

" exactly"

Scourge then picks up his bag of sunflower seeds and starts to eat them.

"Since when do you eat sunflower seeds?"

"Since two months ago."

"Okay then why. I've never seen you eat them"

"Well whenever I wanted a smoke I was usually around Manic, I saw that the smell of it made him sick and leave the room we were in so I guess I tried to stop."

"Tried?"

"Yeah. I didn't go well at first, I ended up smoking still"

"Ah so what did he help you?"

"Yes he did actually. I told him one day that I wanted to quite but I didn't know how, so the kind person he is he took the time to help me quite"

"Aw Scourge that's so cute."

"Eh whatever. I just didn't like it when he left the room."

"*gasp* you like him like him."

"No.! I just couldn't flirt with him if he wasn't there, that's all."

"Heh. So you have been smoke free for how long?"

"Two whole month's"

"That's great!"

"Yup."

Beep...Beep

#Boss: I have a job for you and Fiona. Up town of Mobius East side there is a place where they are selling the same goods but for lower prices, and there putting us out of business. Take care of them for me will you.

#Scourge: sure thing.

Scourge puts his phone in his pocket and tells Fiona where they need to go.

Scourge POV:

I'm sure I'll be done with this job then go over to Chris's place just in time to see the lime hedgehog himself. Let's just hope these guys don't take up to much of my time.*

Scourge then rushes off with Fiona in his arms and there headed to kick some butt and well kill a few~
