Ace hadn't been expecting it and as such hadn't braced himself properly so he was pretty much tossed around the car like a sock puppet. Instead of commenting he just stuck out his tongue and then smirked. "Next time I'll punch you and see how you like it. I only told the truth, it was no reason to hit me."

He turned around looking at Espio. "I didn't mean to freak you out. It was just a joke really. And Thatch..stop being all moody or I'll come back there and tickle you till you smile."
