Mercury and Emerald met up after an afternoon of thievery. "Any pockets picked?" Mercury asked.

"Plenty." Emerald reached into her pockets and suddenly scowled. "Mercury! Did you pick MY pocket?"

"No..." Mercury checked his own pockets, and then sighed. "But I see who just picked us both clean."

He pointed out Neo, who was sauntering away while flashing a thick wad of bills over her shoulder.

"Hey!" Emerald cried. "We stole that money fair and square!"

"Yeah," Mercury grumbled, "and she's just gonna spend it on ice cream."

"The ice cream might explain her 'sticky fingers'," Emerald thought out loud.
