Chapter 4
Bart V Manic
First day back at school, and they had Maths with Ms
Strict. And as usual she was in a bad mood. Worse still, the
year eight mini maths test was supposed to be in three weeks. Ms
Strict changed it to that very lesson. Just as Ms Strict sat
down to take the register, Manic came in and looked as though he
had just been crying.
Ms Strict: Young man, where have you been?
Manic: I've been.
Ms Strict: (Not letting Manic finish what he was trying to say)
You are three minutes late. I do not approve of lateness. Now if
you would like to sit down over there next to Lynx, and no
talking. If I catch anyone talking, or even passing notes to
each other, Crash Bandicoot, you will be in a lunchtime
detention. Now silence for the register. (They were quiet
anyway)
Crash.yes.Neo.yes.Siyro.yes.Spyro.yes.Globox.yes.Croc.yes.Randy.y
es.Lynx.yes.Somic.yes.Taz.yes.Max.yes.Rayman.
yes. Now the new people I will call out your name and you will
put your hand up. Rouge Bat.(The bat sitting next to Somic put
her hand in the air).Jaleal Echidna.(The reddish-orange thing
sitting next to Crash put his hand in the air).Knuckles
Echidna.(Knuckles put his hand in the air).Tikal Echidna.(The
smartly dressed orange girl in the corner put her hand up in a
posh manner).Amy Rose Hedgehog.(Amy stood up and
curtsied).Prince Manic Hedgehog.(Manic had been leaning on his
chair for the past five minutes, and because Ms Strict literally
barked orders and names, Manic sort of jumped and fell off his
chair at the same time)
Manic: (getting off the floor) Yes Miss.
Ms Strict: Now that serves you right young man. You don't swing
on chairs, and you refer to me as Ms Strict only, no miss or
anything.
Manic: (sitting on his chair again) Yes Ms. Strict.
Ms Strict: Good. Now where was I? Oh, yes. (Shadow put his hand
up in the air before Ms Strict even opened her mouth) Now that's
the kind of behaviour and quick reactions I need Shadow. You're
going to do very well this year. Princess Sonia Hedgehog.yes I
know you.I met you when I was inspecting the castle, you were
with your mum, Queen Aleena. Anyway, Prince Sonic Hedgehog.I
know you as well, you and Manic were egging my car whilst I was
talking to your mother and Sonia. And Bart.I've heard quite a
lot about you so far. And I hope it's not true. Now the papers
on the desks in front of you, are your mini tests for Maths.
(Mini test wasn't really the word for a thirty-two pages long
booklet) You may begin the test now. I will be back within ten
minutes, I'll be down at the lower school office, Mr Else said
he needed to talk to me about Manic Hedgehog's behaviour
recently. (Stands up and walks out of the classroom)
Bart waited until she had turned at the end of the
corridor, before thinking of getting someone into a lot of
trouble. He was twiddling his pencil between his fingers when
something shiny caught his eye. As he turned he saw a green
book, about half the size of their planners, with a gold label
at the top. As Bart was looking at it more closely it said;
"Prince Manic Hedgehog. Age 7 & a half. Diary." Bart looked to
see if anyone had noticed, no one had, then quickly grabbed it
and stood on the teacher's desk at the front.
Manic: Hey, give that back!
Bart: Hey, everyone! (Everyone looked up at Bart) Wanna know who
Manic fancies?
Neo: Go on then.
Manic: (Trying to get it back) You read any of that and
I'll kill you!
Bart: I'm scared. Prince Manic Hedgehog. Age seven and a half
years old. January the seventh. I wet the bed during the night;
I figured out that I drank too much before going to bed. Mase
says I need a nappy, he's only joking. (Turns to Manic) Well I
think he means it, you're the wettest kid in the world. Only wet
people are green. LIKE YOU!!
Manic: (Starting to get upset) GIVE IT BACK!!!
Bart: (skips through some of the pages, which were a very
delicate silver paper, also very expensive) Oh, this one's the
last thing you wrote, during the summer holidays. August the
fourth, of this year. I fancy.OH, EVERYONE LISTEN TO WHO MANIC
FANCIES.KNUCKLES THE ECHIDNA!!! (Everyone starts laughing and
pointing at Manic and Knuckles, all that is except Sonic, Manic,
Knuckles, Sonia, Rouge and Shadow) GAY BOY! GAY BOY! MANIC IS A
GAY BOY!!
Manic: (Starting to cry now) That is not true, I don't
fancy Knuckles, and I am not GAY!!! (Screams really loudly at
Bart, practically deafening those in close range)
Rouge: Oh, come on Bart. Give it back to him.
Bart: Hmmmm.NO!
Shadow: (Getting hold of Bart's collar) You listen to me
mate, he is a prince. Prince of Mobius, you give that back to
him or I will set anyone out of Sleet, Dingo and Ivo Robotnik
onto you! HAVE YOU GOT THAT?
Ms Strict: (Walking back in the class) WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING
ON IN HERE? (Sees Shadow holding Bart against the board, Manic
sitting on the floor crying and Crash and Neo giggling between
themselves) SHADOW! BART! MANIC! CRASH! NEO! GET OUTSIDE THIS
SECOND!
Outside the classroom, Shadow was hugging Manic who was
still crying, Bart was sitting on the floor and Crash and Neo
were still giggling between themselves.
Ms Strict: Alright, what happened? Shadow?
Shadow: Bart was reading Manic's diary to the rest of the
class. About how Manic wet the bed and why he fancies Knuckles
the Echidna and his entire private personal life statements, or
whatever that word is. And now he won't give it back at all, he
still has it!
Ms Strict: Bart, give me the diary. NOW!
Bart: But, Miss. I haven't got it. When Shadow grabbed me, I
dropped it. And now Shadow's going to kick the crap outta me.
He's been threatening me all day.
Ms Strict: Bart get in there and sit down and behave. (As Bart
walked back into the classroom, he put something green into his
pocket for safekeeping) Now, Crash and Neo what are you two
giggling at?
Neo: Oh, it's just this little tune I made up.
Ms Strict: Well?
Neo: (*gulps*) There was a little monkey, running through the
country. Fell down a black hole, and split his little ass hole!
(Crash starts laughing)
Ms Strict: Well, when I walked in I saw Crash telling you
something, what was it Crash?
Crash: (*gulps*) What do you get if you cross Sonic the
Hedgehog with a giraffe?
Ms Strict: I don't know. What?
Crash: A Big Blue Prick! (Neo and Crash both started
laughing, because they didn't like Sonic. Ms Strict smiled a
little, as she didn't like Sonic either)
Ms Strict: Very well, get back in the classroom. (Crash and Neo
walk back in the classroom giggling) Now as I was. (Suddenly
sees a very tall hedgehog that looks exactly like Manic, but is
older and red) Why, Mase. What do you want?
Mase: I came to get Manic; the policeman needs to see him with
the owner of the shop. I'll just go get his stuff, and I need
Sonic and Sonia as well, they were witnesses.
Ms Strict: Yeah, well go right on in, we've just had a problem
with Manic's diary, Bart Simpson.
Mase: (walks into the classroom and the first thing he saw was,
Bart standing on his desk reading Manic's diary to everyone
again) Excuse me Bart. Could I have that diary please?
Bart: Why certainly. (Doesn't realise that he's Manic's brother,
and passes him the diary) Read the bit about Manic and Knuckles
when they first kissed.
Mase: (Punches Bart in the face) You stop picking on my little
brother, Bart Simpson, or you will be in serious trouble with
me. Have a nice day. Sonic, Sonia come on. (Picks up Manic's
stuff) I don't want to hear anything including the words Manic
and Knuckles together. This is your warning Bart and I expect
you to listen to it. Good-bye. (Walks back out the room)
Bart: Like that's going to scare me. Mase Hedgehog, you're as wet as Manic is, possibly wetter than Manic.
