The room is pitch black until the main light switches on. It is shown that the room is actually a huge studio, it looked similar to what a news studio would look like . The famous blue hedgehog, Sonic, is seen sitting at a semi large desk. He starts to look around as if the light was out for a while.
"Wow I did not know how dark this place could get" said Sonic with a shrug "At least the lights are back on"
"I think they are fixed, so we don't have to worry about another blackout" said a young two tailed fox walking onto the set. He looked to have been working on some dirty equipment, his hands were all smudged up and his face had a few smudge marks on it.
"So are we ready to begin then Tails?" asked the hedgehog as he looked at some papers that were placed on the desk.
"Almost, I want to get cleaned up first and we need to make sure all the equipment is working" replied Tails.
"That sounds good" said Sonic as he continued to look through the papers.
The two tailed fox got off the studio set and exited via left stage. When Tails left Sonic stopped playing with the papers and glanced over to one of the cameras on the set. He then spotted Knuckles the echidna sleeping on a chair near the camera, the echidna's head was leaned backwards using the back of the chair as support. The blue hedgehog then got an idea on how to wake up Knuckles, he quickly looked underneath the desk and found a plastic bag. Being quiet Sonic slipped out of the chair that he was, with the plastic bag in his hand, and made his way over to the sleeping echidna. He stopped a foot or two in front of Knuckles and started to blow air into the plastic bag until it had a good amount of air in it. The hedgehog then held the bag at the end with one hand, so that the air wouldn't escape, and then with his free hand smashed the air filled bag. The bag bursted and made a huge bang noise. The loud noise woke up Knuckles in a jolt and caused him to fall out of the chair and onto the ground.
Knuckles was completely confused about what had just happened because he was still not completely awake at the moment. The echidna looked around in complete and utter confusion, only to find Sonic on the ground laughing uncontrollably with a broken plastic bag near him.
"What the heck that for" snapped Knuckles as he got up off the ground. First he was woken up from his nap and now he had that stupid hedgehog laughing at him.
Sonic had to take a few seconds to stop laughing enough to speak. "Oh come on Knux, that face you had was priceless" he replied wiping a tear away from his eye.
"Oh you're dead hedgehog!" snapped the red echidna again
By now the blue hedgehog had stopped laughing and got up off the ground. He brushed off some dust. "What? I needed you awake, we are about to start the show. The camera guy needs to be awake you know" said Sonic, he looked unaffected by the echidna's open ended threat.
"Why the heck am I the camera guy" said Knuckles with his teeth bared, he was not happy about the fact Sonic made him in charge of the camera. He took a fighting pose almost ready to pounce at the blue hedgehog.
"Because we needed to keep you busy with something, can't have poor Knuckie without something to do" replied Sonic with a shrug, he still was not affected by Knuckles threats.
Tails, finished cleaning himself up, walked back onto the set. He saw Sonic and Knuckles arguing, which wasn't anything new but he wished it would not evolve into fist fighting. He already fixed the light circuits, the young fox did not need to fix the entire set as well. The two tailed fox sighed as he walked over to his two arguing friends and stood in between them.
"Come on guys quite it, we need to do a test run" spoked Tails to both Sonic and Knuckles
"Well you heard the director, Knuckles. Lets do a test run" replied the blue hedgehog as he walked away from both Tails and Knuckles, he headed back to his semi large desk and sat down.
The echidna's right eye twitched a bit, that hedgehog got under his skin a lot he was such an annoying little rat. He growled a bit before heading over to the camera and waited for the cue to start. Tails was happy that the argument got dis-fused pretty fast, it usually takes a bit to break the two up. Maybe today was the young fox's lucky day. Tails walked over to the desk and handed a device to the blue hedgehog, it was a head piece.
"Whats this" asked Sonic looking at the device that the two tailed fox just handed him.
"Well it helps me communicate with you when I'm off stage, its just a simple headset." said Tail in a matter-of-fact tone
The hedgehog shrugged and placed the headset on himself. Tails turned on the headset before getting of the set and sat down in his director's chair. Even though the young fox was the director, he was much more then the director he also had to fiddle with all the stuff that dealt with technology. He had to do that because both Sonic and Knuckles shouldn't be allowed to play around with the expensive equipment, they would most likely break it.
"Lets start up the test run of the equipment" announced the young fox, he had a control box on his lap. He flicked some switches and changed the lighting, so it wasn't everywhere but more focused at the set. He then put on a spot light on Sonic, which caused the blue hedgehog to blink a lot to get used to the light.
"So now what, all I got was blinded by the light" said Sonic in a joking tone
"I can't turn it down, or you won't show up on screen." said Tails, he then turned to Knuckles "Hows the camera working"
"I look into the camera lenses and all I get is complete darkness" replied Knuckles as he kept looking into the camera lenses but could not get Sonic to show up.
"Thats strange, the camera should be working fine" wondered Tails as he goy off the chair and placed the control box carefully on to the ground. He walked over to the camera and the red echidna to see what was happing to make the camera not work. When he did come over he saw that Knuckles had forgotten to remove the lenses cap. "Well Knuckles it would help if you removed the lenses cap, like so" said the young fox taking off the cap. "How does it work now?"
Knuckles looked into the camera lenses again and he could now see Sonic and the set. "Its working now"
"Good" said the two tailed fox walking back to the director's chair. He sat back down and picked up the control box, placing it back onto his lap. The young fox then talked into the headset that was on his head. "Looks like everything is working now, ready to start up the show Sonic?"
"I thought you would have never ask, I'm as ready as I'll ever be" replied the blue hedgehog
"Okay then, Knuckles lets start rolling" ordered Tails, the show was about to begin.
Tails made a motion with his hands, saying to Knuckles to press the on button when the fox got to one. The fox made three with his left hand, then a two, and the finally a one. He signaled the echidna to press the button, Knuckles pressed the button almost instantly. Tails gave Sonic the signal to start camera focused onto the blue hedgehog, it was now time for the show to start. Even with all the technical difficulties they had put them behind schedule a bit they were ready to begin.
"Welcome to my show, glad you all decided to tune in. I'm you host with the most, Sonic the hedgehog" the blue hedgehog started off "In this show we'll take a look into some of my co-stars from the video game series. So if you have a favorite co-star of mine besides of course me, then stay turn because we'll give you a closer look into them." Sonic took a paused when he heard Tails talking into the headset. He turned his attention away from the camera to talk to Tails.
"You do know we'll be doing you too on the show" stated Tails
"What? Thats not fair" answered Sonic back in a whisper
"Some people might be interested in knowing more about you too, you are the star of the series" whispered Tails "Forget it for now, just continue"
Sonic sighed and turned his attention back to the camera. "Anyways some characters you may know, some you may not. Of course we'll look into the main cast but we will also look into the lesser known characters as well. Although they have fans too don't they, someone is bound to know them right? So get ready for the first co-star we'll look into, after the commercial break of course." Sonic looked confused, they weren't even in the first five minutes of the show and there was a commercial. Oh well thats life for you. "Don't turn that channel we will be right back" said the blue hedgehog giving the camera a smile and a wink.
A/N: This is a side project I felt would be fun to do, yeah nothing really happens in the first chapter other then some technical difficulties and the very beginning of the show. You also got to meet the director, the host, and the camera man(although it would he would be more of a camera echidna XD) of the show. I had to cut this short due to the fact I want introduce the first character they are doing in the next chapter.
Who will be the first character that they will do? You'll find out in the next chapter, until then see ya!
