Vector and Subaki:
Subaki: Ah, all my weapons have been polished at last. Now to just set them up.
Vector: Now there's Subaki! Hey, man!
Subaki: Vector, what brings you here?
Vector: Some villager asked me to bring you a note. You've got cash in your pocket, right?
Subaki: Er, yes, it is a small amount, but the perfect balance for spare change. But why do you ask?
Vector: I may have peeked at the note. This shopkeeper's claiming you didn't pay for your last purchase.
Subaki: What? Th-that's impossible! Let me have the note, Vector. O-oh dear.
Vector: What? Is it bad? C'mon, lemme see!
*Crash*
Subaki: Vector!
Vector: You weren't just organizing those things, were you? That lance wasn't valuable, was it?
Subaki: All my hard work... All undone in an instant.
Vector: Maybe you just set 'em up wrong. I bet I could help ya, man.
Subaki: N-no, Vector. You have seen me at my lowest point. I must strive to be better! Please leave me alone.
Vector: Woah, that guy takes perfecting seriously. Uh oh, what if he charges me for his lance!? I don't have that kind of money!

Vector: (Take it slow, take it easy.) Hey, Subaki! Say, man, did I ever tell ya about the Chaotix's skill in solving mysteries?
Subaki: No, I don't think you have.
Vector: (Good, he's not mad.) Well, I don't like to brag, but we've solved some pretty dicy cases. The case of the Eggman imposter, Team Chaotix cracked that one wide open! The case of the Interstellar Amusement Park, we did our bit with intergalactic style. And the case of the, er, of the, missing toy! Well that kid can sleep at night once again.
Subaki: It seems you have lots of experience perfecting your craft. Say, I have a case for you then.
Vector: You pay, and we solve! What's the case, Subaki?
Subaki: You remember that note you gave me the other day, Vector?
Vector: Course I do. (Don't mention the lance!)
Subaki: Well, I did a careful examination of it, and I came to the conclusion that I had paid for the item listed. So, I would like you to figure out just exactly why I was charged the bill for it. I highly doubt that I made an error.
Vector: Just give me the cash, and your case is as good as solved, man!
Subaki: Alright, is this enough?
Vector: Perfect! Now once I pull my team together, we'll find out who the culprit really is. We never turn down work that pays!

Subaki: Vector, have you found out why that bill was charged to me?
Vector: It took a little diggin' and a sneaky ninja to figure out that bit. So, the investigation revealed that you had gone to a grocer for some goodies the other day.
Subaki: Indeed I did. It was part of a new training diet I had been experimenting with.
Vector: Well, my intel reveals that the shopkeeper takes really good notes of all his purchases, and carefully labels his prices. I took a look at those records myself, after Charmy lured the guy out of the shop of course, and found out that the day you bought those goodies, he had raised the prices above the usual!
Subaki: So, I paid the correct amount...
Vector: Right! For the previous week! The shopkeeper was sending you the bill for the rise in price!
Subaki: How could I have been so blind! My perfection has slipped! I must work harder, but first I must pay that bill with no time to spare. Thank you, Vector!
Vector: You're welcome, man. Anytime you need anything, just give Team Chaotix a call. We'll pick it up without a problem.
Subaki: Speaking of picking up, does the Chaotix know anything about lances? The one you knocked down was dented beyond repair.
Vector: Urk! Well, um, h-hey! Why don't the Chaotix give you all the cases you need for free! That pays for the lance, right? Subaki? Right?!
