Episode 1: The Pilot
The night streets were busy, people walking home from the clubs they were getting drunk in and probably contracting some form of STD. Most were drunk and yelling profanity at each other or people who were just going somewhere. In a dark alleyway sat a long, smelly box that once contained an expensive TV but now contains someone broke on their luck, this person was the once famous….Sonic. His eyes bloodshot from the hash he was smoking merely half an hour ago. He had been broke since the new 3D games. The Sonic Team was selling the same cut scene crowded crap as they continued to fail at replicating Sonic's fast paced running in 3D. Their new game was released 7 months ago, it was what finally sent them downhill. The others had already left the Sonic Team but Sonic stayed and kept his job and their latest game 'Sonic: Revenge' was a huge flop on the Kinect. Everyone stopped buying their crap and Sonic lost his mansion and went bankrupt and was forced onto the street.
Sonic sat in his box stained of mostly illegal substances, purple rings hung under his eyes. He began to hear steps through the alleyway and he grinned as he pulled a pocket knife out. He walked over to the shadow and then jumped out in front of the person and yelled "This is a mugging, give me your cash or I'll gut you!". Sonic began to see who he was mugging and saw it Shadow the Hedgehog.
"Sonic!?" Shadow exclaimed.
"S…Shadow?" Sonic said, confused.
"Jeez, what happened Sonic?"
Sonic chuck his knife to the side and then looked at Shadow.
"Sonic: Revenge was a flop, I've gone bankrupt and now live on the streets, the weed stuff is the only thing stopping me from hanging myself and now I can't even afford that!"
"Sonic, you tried to mug me, something is seriously wrong!"
"I live in a box that I swear has witnessed many romantic conquests"
"Okay, you need some serious help. I've got an offer for you"
"I'll take anything!"
"I lost my job yesterday and I know I'm going to struggle to afford the rent…so I need a roommate, I don't like the chances I'll get someone who isn't an asshole so I can take you into my apartment as a roommate"
"Y…you serious!?"
"You can't just sit on your ass all day though, you'll HAVE to get a job and you'll HAVE to clean up after yourself"
"Anything!"
"Okay, come on, we'll get you cleaned up and show you to your bed"
"Thank you SO much!"
Sonic follows Shadow through the hallway of the complex which had many doors on the side of the walls each with numbers.
"You know, I thought it was the alleyway but you really smell like shit" Shadow states.
"You got hot water?" Sonic asks.
"Yeah"
"Well then I'll be needing a shower"
Shadow stops at the room with the number 117, he pulls out his keys and puts it into the lock and opens the door to reveal a nice, modern apartment. "You live in here!" Sonic exclaims.
"Yes, but before you touch ANYTHING have a god damn sower!" Shadow replies.
"Where's that?"
"Down the corridor to your right"
Sonic then runs into the apartment and goes into the corridor and gets to the shower and turns it on and gets in.
"Oh god! A shower has never felt so nice!" Sonic yells.
"Keep your voice down, I don't want the others to think you're having an orgasm" Shadow replies whilst closing the door.
Shadow sits on the couch as he watches the TV. The TV is a programme called 'Gamers Weekly' as it shows a review of Sonic: Revenge. The host of the show is Orbot and his co-host is Cubot. "This game is probably the worst Sonic title I've ever seen, I was playing and felt physically sick after only half an hour using these stupid, unresponsive Kinect controls!" Orbot exclaims.
"How do you feel sick when you're a robot?" Cubot asks with a Scottish accent.
"I have no clue but this shit-tacular game managed to make me!" Orbot replies.
"Так, может быть 0/10?" Cubot asks in Russian.
"No Cubot, I say it deserves a -1000/1000000!"
Shadow hears Sonic getting out of the shower and flicks the channel to Channel 3 News.
"I feel so refreshed! I can't thank you enough Shadow for getting me off the streets" Sonic exclaims.
"Okay, well, I'll show you to your bed" Shadow replies whilst getting up.
Sonic follows Shadow through the hallway and opens a guestroom with a queen bed and a nightstand with at the end of the bed a TV with a Sega Genesis connected to it. "All to myself?" Sonic asks.
"You bet it" Shadow answers.
Sonic runs into the room and jumps on the bed with glee and Shadow closes the door and walks to his room for the night.
