A/N:: Okay, I'll make the last part to Manic's past, he has a friend that he lost in Mobotropolis, Pawz. Seems a little weird, but Pawz can be helpful in a tough spot. Now, Manic's gonna have a little 'chat' with Tekou. Enjoy.

"Pink and Green"

Chapter 6

The skunk turned in shock, as Pawz and Manic slammed through the door. Manic looked so angry at Tekou that he was threating to tear his skunk tail off, and beat him over the freaking head with it. Pawz sat near the door, crossing his arms, and Manic walked over to Tekou, his sky blue eyes burning into Tekou's earth colored eyes. They had a staring contest for about a few minutes, which Manic was easily winning.

"So, you survived the shot I see, Man-ster!"

"Yeah, I survived no thanks to anyone but the police and Pawz! What the hell did you think you were doing, using me as a shield? I was able to get us in there, and you go and let the police capture me! I don't even know why I joined this gang if my computer skills and being a shield is the only reasons you keep me around!! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have all the money that we got from the safe!! And in return for my hard work, you go and use me for a freaking shield!"

"Manic, if the police would have gotten me, they could have easily used me to get the rest of you. Even you wouldn't be happy to watch Pawz being thrown in prison next to you." Tekou answerd.

"Don't you bring Pawz into this!! He at least had some dignity to come and get me out of the hospital. And I'll bet you weren't even the ones that paid for my hospital bills." Manic felt a growl coming out of his throat.

Pawz watched as Tekou and Manic yelled at each other, as a giant shadow appeared behind the white fox. Pawz turned to see the shadowed figure, and began to yell.

"Manic, Tekou, run, a cop!!" Pawz managed to yell, before he was knocked out with a tranquilizer.

Manic wanted to help Pawz, but he was forced to run a bunch of other cops came into the room. He climbed the stairs to the roof, and ran out to the top, when he was faced with two people. A girl with long reddish brown hair, and a older man faced the green hegehog.

"Hello, hedgehog. It's good to see you." The man smiled.

"What do you want with me?" Manic hissed.

"We don't want anything, but if you don't do what we say, your little fox friend will be spending the rest of his life in a rotting prison." The girl replied.

"....."

"I take it your willing to cooperate, good choice."

~The next morning, the Mayor's Office~

"So, you were the one that broke the security system to my bank? Very clever." Mayor Maximillian smiled.

"Yeah, what about it?"

"You see, my daughter caught you and your little fox friend talking about your little break in, and with this evidence you could easily face 20 years in prison." Max pointed to his daughter, Sally.

"....What do you want me to do?" Manic growled.

"Simple. Read this." Max handed a letter addressed to the green hedgehog.

Manic took it and began to read the letter. It looked like his older sister's handwriting, but he didn't want to fall into their trap again. He started the letter.

'My little brother, Manic.

All the years that you trusted me, I've been keeping the truth away from you, please forgive me for that mistake. Our mother is still alive, but not even I know her location. You have a twin brother, Manic. His name is Sonic the Hedgehog. Our father tried to escape from Robotnik, and he took little Sonic with him. He is still alive, he nows lives in Station Square. I know that about now, your life is pretty dark now that you have no family, and I was the only one to take care of you. But now you will finally have somewhere to go. Head for Station Square and find Sonic. I'm sure Mother would have wanted that as well. I will always love you, my little brother.

Love you always,

Ali Hedgehog

"Where did you get this?" Manic whispered.

"It was given to us by your dying sister, she said herself to give it to you when you needed it."

"So, what do you want me to do?"

"I will ignore your crime, but you can never come back to Mobotropolis while I'm still alive. While that happens, why don't you go and look for this brother of yours? It would give you something to do."

Manic clutched the letter from his sister. If he left, he could probably never see Pawz again. Then, he had an idea. He turned back up to face the mayor.

"I will do as you say, but I have two conditions."

"What are those?"

"I want to spend at least an hour with my friend, Pawz. Next, I want about 5 hours to pack and be on my way. Take it or leave it." Manic crossed his arms.

Sally looked ready to object to his demands, Max quickly silenced her, and turned back to the green hedgehog.

"You win, one hour with Pawz, five hours for packing. Then you leave. It's a deal." Max offered his hand to the green hedgehog.

Manic put his own hand out, and shook the mayor's hand, and then headed out the door, heading to the lock up room, where Pawz sat. His white fox friend looked up as Manic walked inside.

"Pawz, I'm only able to talk to you about an hour. I want you to do me a favor before I have to go."

"What's that, bro?"

"My sister's grave, in the middle of the park, near the lakes, every year, I want you to put blood roses on her grave. Those were her favorite. Next, I want you to give my labtop to Tekou. he could use all the ideas in that thing more than me. And tell Gekk that I'm sorry for everything I've ever said." Manic said, sadly.

"What's the matter, bro? Why you asking me to do all this?" Pawz walked over to him.

"I got the mayor to let you all go, but I have to leave Mobotropolis, and never come back. And right about now, I only have about 20 minutes to talk to you." Manic buried his hand into his face.

"Oh...don't worry, I'll do everything that you said, don't worry." Pawz laid his hand on Manic's shoulder.

"Thanks, Pawz...."

The two talked for the rest of the time, about what was going to happen to the town without Manic, and how Tekou was going to be a glory hound, when a cop came into the room.

"Come on, Manic, time's up."

Manic gave Pawz a quick hug, and headed out of the room.

~5 hours hours later, outside Mobotropolis~

Manic carried a back pack over his shoulder, and looked back at the flashy streets of his hometown. Tears were already falling from his cheeks, as he could imagine the orphaned Pawz living in their old house all by himself. He whipped them away, and remembered the letter from his sister.

'I have to find Sonic. He could be just as lost as I was about who his family is...don't worry, Ali...I'll found him.'

Manic pulled the bag over his shoulders, and headed down the road to Station Square.

~end of flashback~

"And that's everything, Amy."
