(Robotropolis)
(Interior, Day) 
Sleet: A mission of life-or-death? 
Dr.Robotnik: Yes. Several days ago, an experimental robot escaped from my lab. It is designed to eliminate any enemy swiftly and efficiently then escape. 
Dingo: It what? 
Sleet: *sighs* It's designed to kill someone extremely fast then leave just as fast. 
Dingo: Oh... *panicked tone* But what if it comes after us?! 
(Dr.Robotnik tosses a gun-like object to Sleet) 
Dr.Robotnik: This is an Electro Magnetic Pulse gun or Emp gun for short. One shot from this will disable the bot. Do you understand? 
Sleet: Y-yes sir. 
Dr.Robotnik: You better. *thinking* Your lives may depend on it...
*Fade*
(A shot of Sleet and Dingo leaving Robotropolis is seen)

Dingo: Sleet, I'm scared. What if the bot comes after us? I don't wanna die! 
Sleet: Dingo, would you calm down? 
(The sound of rustling is heard)
Sleet: *nervous* Maybe we should go look for it.

(A shot of sleet searching in the woods is seen)
*rustle*
(Sleet looks around confused and slightly nervous)

(Sleet looks in the direction of the sound. out steps a robot the size of a SWATbot, slim and black, a sword in its sheath) 
Sleet: I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that you're the robot that i was sent to disable. 
Robot: Threat Level: zero. No action required. 
(Sleet smirks then attempts to reach for something)

Dingo: Stay calm, Dingo. It’s probably just a deer or something.

Dingo: Stupid rabbit... 
(The sound of Sleet screaming is heard) 
Dingo: *worried* Sleet! 
(Return to part of forest where Sleet is) 
(Sleet is now on the ground. a large bleeding gash is seen across sleet's chest. a trickle of blood seen down coming out of his mouth. the wolf looks up at the robot with a mix of horror and exhaustion) 
Sleet: *speaking* I...suppose pleading.....for mercy....is out of....the question...?

Dingo: Well... 
(Dingo puts his hand down and looks at sleet) 
Dingo: You said that I had pretty eyes. 
(Sleet blushes slightly, surprised, then gains a stern/slightly embarrassed expression) 
Sleet: That....That was a deluded rambling caused by blood loss. 
Dingo: *confused* Then why are you blushing???

Dingo: *off camera* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! 
(Camera switches to normal Point-of-view, a fire is going. Sleet is pressing a rag damp with whiskey on Dingo's wound, the hyena wincing) 
Dingo: *whining* Sleet, it stings! 
Sleet: Just hold still a bit more.... 
(Sleet removes the rag and puts it on the ground. He then picks up some bandages and bandages Dingo's wound) 
Sleet: There. Now was that so hard? 
Dingo: It wouldn't have been if it didn't sting so much! 
Sleet: What do you want: less pain or an infected injury? 
(Dingo is silent for a few seconds) 
Dingo: Sleet...?
Sleet: Hmm? 
Dingo: Did you mean it when you said my eyes were beautiful? 
Sleet: *blushes, a bit embarrassed* Well...They are a lovely shade of green. 
(Dingo blushes slightly. he hadn't expected sleet to say that) 
Dingo: Your eyes are pretty too... A bright amber yellow... 
Sleet: *playfully punches Dingo* As if you ever got close enough to see them! 
Dingo: *grins* Only cause you never let anyone get close to ya'. 
Sleet: What can I say? I'm a loner. I prefer to stay distant. 
Dingo: Funny. You was never that way with me. 
(As the above dialogue is said, Dingo's hand slides onto Sleet's) 
Sleet: Yeah. Dingo, you may be an idiot sometimes-- 
Dingo: *smirks* "Sometimes"? 
Sleet: Okay, all the time. But... you are more tolerable then most others. 
Dingo: 'Cept when I talk about Sonia, right? 
Sleet: Of course. Except for that, you would be completely tolerable. 
Dingo: Bet if it was someone else, you wouldn't mind as much, would ya'? 
Sleet: *subconsciously leaning in closer* I suppose, though it would depend on just who. 
Dingo: *subconsciously leaning in closer* You were always the picky one.

Dr.Robotnik: SLEET! DINGO!
