-At Sonic Team Headquarters-

"Gah! I'm so tired of making up these complicated background stories every time we make a new game," moaned the Head Director. "And we always have to make new characters to explain what's going on!"

"We do have to have some reason Eggman is attacking again though," said Crew Member A.

"Wait," said Crew Member B. "What if we make a new character that always knows what's going on? Then we won't need to make up overly complicated, puzzle-like storylines, and Sonic would just go to that character and get the low-down then proceed on to just beating up Eggman."

"That's a great idea!" said the Head Director.

("Did he not realize that we're making a new character to explain what's going on yet again?") thought Crew Member A.

-- Sonic Adventure 43

"What's Eggman up to this time?" said Sonic, after his first boss battle.

"Eggman is trying to use animals to pollute the soil so vegetation can no longer grow. The populace will then be deprived of veggie goodness, thus too weak to retaliate when he tries to overthrow the earth," answered Goldine the Gossipfish.

"I've got to stop him!" said Sonic.

"That was great," said the Head Director. "We'll never have to make a new character again with this Goldine around."

"Why wasn't your wife home last night?" asked Goldine.

"W-what?" replied the Head Director.

"I did not see your spouse in your bed with you last night."

"She was at a meeting…"

"For the whole night?" questioned Goldine.

"Get out," said the Head Director.

"Is that what you said to your wife? Was that why she wasn't home last night?"

-Security arrived and threw Goldine out-

The Head Director sobbed. "Ciiiiiiiiinnnnnnnndddddyyyyyy!!!! WHY DID YOU LEAVE!!!!!"

The Crew Members pondered whether they should console him. They didn't.
