My mother always said I would be stuck with an idiot for a partner... Until last week I always thought she was talking about my business partner Dingo... Then I realized something...
...
Dingo: Hey Sleet, why are we explorin' this cave?
Sleet: Because, my 'friend', Dr. Robotnik told us to find the hedgehogs...
Dingo: What are we doing in the cave then?
Sleet: I've tracked the hedgehogs to the other side of this desolate mountainside and this cave happens to be the only way to get there... THAT is why...
Dingo: Oh...Okey-dokey...
...
Dingo: *looks up at cave ceiling* Sleet?
Sleet: *sighs* What?
Dingo: What are those things on the ceiling called, the things hanging down?
Sleet: Stalagcites... Why?
Dingo: Do they normally screech like that?
Sleet: No, that would be bats that make that noise...
Dingo: ...*gulps* I don't like bats...*shines lantern to see the bats*
Sleet: Then stay quiet and dont-
~Bats fly everywhere~
Sleet: -shine the light on them...
Dingo: Oops...
...
~Dingo's lantern burns out~
Dingo: Uhm...Sleet?
Sleet: *exasperated* WHAT?!
Dingo: I can't see- *walks into wall*
Sleet: YOU IDIOT!
~cave rumbles loudly~
Sleet: That can't be good...
Dingo: SLEET, LOOK OUT! * tackles Sleet and gets out of the falling rubble's path*
~rubble collapses into the cave where Sleet and Dingo were standing~
Sleet: Wow... you saved me? After all the insults I said?
Dingo: 'Course! We're friends, right?
Sleet: ... I think you broke my arm...
Dingo: Better your arm than your life, right?
Sleet: I guess so... You're still mostly a moron, but I hate you a little less now...
Dingo: Awww, thanks... But if I were TRULY a moron I would have led us to certain death long ago...
...
...He was right... He isn't THAT stupid, I guess... Ah well, he still has a loooooong way to go before we are actually friends and an even longer way to become as smart as I am...
