FADE IN

INT. SONIC UNDERGROUND BASE-MIDMORNING


Manic is in one of the rooms alone. He sits down in a chair. From his fannypack he pulls out the bag. He opens it and grabs a bit of it. He licks his hand, tasting the powdery stuff. He gets a hypnotized look on his face. He shakes his head and his face goes back to normal.

ON MANIC

MANIC

Hey! This isn't candy! This isn't even sugar! Or at least it doesn't taste like it! Hmph! Stupid salespeople! Making up lies to get people to eat there stuff. It's nonsense crud!

He threw the bag across the room and crossed his arms angrily. He slumped down into the big chair.

FOCUS ON BAG

The background where Manic is blurs as the screen focuses on the bag. Manic pokes his head over towards it. He walks over to it, into focous with the bag. He picks it up and takes another lick of it. Again he gets the stare for a short while. He gets a mischievious smile on his face.

MANIC
Hey! This stuff gets better the more you eat it! What is this? It's definately not candy! Hmmm...

CUT TO:

INT. ROBOTNIK'S BASE-NOON


Later that day, the sonic underground are sneaking into Robotnik's place. They find a computer room. As they enter, Sonia and Manic move to the sides of the door. Sonia on the right, Manic on the left. Sonia has her keyboard/laser rifle out. Sonic walks toward the big computer.

ANGLE ON SONIA

SONIA

We got your back, bro! We'll stay here and make sure that Robotnik or one of them doesn't enter!

ANGLE ON SONIC

SONIC looks back and nods. He then sits down in front of the giant computer. He starts typing, and moving a black-and-yellow joystick. He sort of looks as though he were playing a game.

ON SONIA AND MANIC

Manic is looking out through the doorway at the hall. He is saying something very quietly. As he says it, Sonia looks at him.

MANIC
(faintly)
C'mon, 'BUTTnik.

SONIA (angry) (whisper)
Manic! What are you saying!? Why are you wanting Robotnik to come? We're on an important mission! Now be quiet! Ugg!

MANIC
Why don't you be quiet!? I'm ready for some action! I haven't had any action all day! So shuddup!

There was a short silence.

MANIC (CONT'D)
(very quiet)
Pink-haired freak...

Sonia did a small gasp.

CLOSE UP ON SONIA

Sonia looks away. She looks a little sad.

SONIC
Hey guys! I found something!

Both the hedgehogs look at him. They walk over toward him.

ON HEDGEHOGS

The two hedgehogs are both beside him. They look up at the screen. We then see them from inside the big computer monitor. There is text here and there.

MANIC
But I thought--

SONIC
Hold on! I know. I was just wanting you guys to see it in action!

Sonic pressed a few keys and the screen changed.

MANIC
Wow. Pretty impressive!

SONIC
I know!

MANIC (CONT'D)
(under his breath)
For an idiot!

SONIC
Hey! I--

SONIA
Let it go. You're not the only one he picked on.

ON SONIC

Sonic made an annoyed frown.

CUT TO:

INT. UNDERGROUND BASE-LATER


Later, the triplets and Cyrus are gathered around a table. We see them from the ceiling. They appear to be discussing stuff.

ON CYRUS

CYRUS

So you really saw that?

SONIC
What? You don't belive us? We saw it as clear as we see that vase right there!

We see Sonic's hand point to a pink vase a small ways behind Cyrus.

CYRUS (CONT'D)
Hmm... This is serious. If he gets away with this, it could be deadly!

SONIA
So what should we do about it?

CYRUS
Umm... well, there's two ways to do it. One... we could start devising a plan from all our ideas... or, we could go get this certain stuff to get him to forget the plan, and then delete it from his computer's CPU.

SONIA
Why not take a vote? Majority rules.

CYRUS (CONT'D)
Okay. But I'm not voting. Sonic?

ON SONIC

SONIC

I vote to delete the stuff from the CEO.

CYRUS
It's CPU, Sonic. Not CEO.

SONIC (CONT'D)
Oh yeah? Well howcome I always hear CEO everytime technology comes into a conversation?

CYRUS/SONIA
A CPU is the part of a computer that does most of the data processing. It's also the memory. But CEO is the Cheif Executive Officer.

SONIC
What's that?

CYRUS
The corporate executive responsible for the operations of the firm.

SONIC
Can you repeat that? But in english this time?

CYRUS (CONT'D)
A CEO is the guy responsible for the product being sold.

SONIC (CONT'D)
Oh! I get it! So that's why I often hear CEO when talking about a product on the news!

SONIA
Finally!

SONIC (CONT'D)
So then... what's a CPU again?

The screen divides in two. On one side is Sonia, on the other, Cyrus. They are both shaking their heads.

SONIA (hopelessly)
Nevermind.

CYRUS
Anyway... Sonia. What do you think?

SONIA
I agree. I say we delete the file from his computer.

CYRUS (CONT'D)
And you, Manic?

We pan to Manic's seat, only to see that it's empty.

CYRUS (CONT'D) (SURPRISED)
Manic? Where'd he go?

DISSOVLE TO:

INT. UNDERGROUND VAN


Manic is in the van. The bag of powdery stuff is in his hand. He takes a big handful of it.

CLOSE UP ON ARM

His arm fades to a paler green. We then see his whole body which also has become lighter. Manic then spots the door to the van open. He runs to it.

ANGLE ON MANIC AND VAN

Manic looks from side to side to check if the coast is clear. He then runs off into the street.

END OF ACT ONE
Poor, poor Sonic... T__T;;
