[Center][h3][color=cf5087]TE[/color][color=f9c714]AM[/color] [color=a4c53a]CHAOTIX[/color][/h3] [u][b]South City, Heading To Green Hill[/b][/u][/Center] [hr] Vector's eyes widened a little bit at the offer, a smile curving onto his crocodile face. Living the backstage MVP life for a simple job like this? He liked the sound of that, even if he hadn't planned on going to the festival prior. That'd be a good reason, most certainly, and he was pretty sure it'd motivate the boys too. [color=a4c53a]"Ain't one to decline a gift like that! We'll take it."[/color] This brought Vector to putting a hand near his mouth, trying to 'amplify' his already extremely loud voice. [color=a4c53a]"Y'hear that, boys? You get this job done and it's backstage passes for the festival!"[/color] Charmy looked back for a moment, the offer hyping him up big time. [color=f9c714]"For real?!"[/color] He questioned, wind of Mina passing him up to catch up with Amy causing him to flip in the air, as his excitement grew. It was cool enough not only being able to watch it, or heck, meet Mina Mongoose on the streets like this, but now backstage passes for finding Sonic?! Oh, you bet the little guy was revved up and ready to go. Except, Mina and Amy were speeding ahead. And that meant they could find Sonic first; What if he didn't get the pass if they went ahead and got sight of him? Thinking fast, Charmy latched onto Espio's back. [color=f9c714]"Step on the gas, we gotta get those passes!"[/color] He demanded, pointing forward. Espio glared up at Charmy with mild annoyance. [color=cf5087]"If you want it so badly, you ought to catch up to them."[/color] [color=f9c714]"I don't need to do that! 'Cause I know how to get a burst of speed outta you!"[/color] Espio was confused by this response, up until he felt a sharp sting on his backside. His eyes nearly shot out of his head from the sudden attack from Charmy's stinger, his legs quickly moving forward and picking up a lot of speed. The Ninja's agility was being put to embarrassing use, the adrenalin from the attack causing him to easily bypass both Amy and Mina as they sped towards those hills. All they could hear was some disgruntled pain from Espio as he went by, with Charmy waving a hand in the air, laughing: [color=f9c714]"Yeah! High-ho, Espio!"[/color] A sweatdrop of embarrassment from the display, and the fact all the speedsters left him behind, Vector paused for a moment as he was now too far for the Sling Rings to make a connection. He looked back at Cream, nervously laughing. [color=a4c53a]"Guess I'm taking the slow route! Tell your mother I said hello, yeah?"[/color] A small chortle escaping him, Vector began to make his way towards Green Hill, now trailing quite a ways behind, but just because he was a big guy with a big brain didn't mean he couldn't gain some decent speed. He just wasn't much compared to most frontrunners. [color=a4c53a][i]I can't believe they DITCHED me![/i][/color] He would complain to himself, noting to not buy their meals on the company dime next time, if they were just going to ditch their boss.
