I DO NOT OWN SONIC

CUT TO - INT. ALLEY-NIGHT

SHADOW is walking, holding the money, the RED RANGER RIPOFF emerges.

SHADOW:
Eggman.

EGGMAN:
Did you bring it?

SHADOW:
Yes.

SHADOW gives the moolah to EGGMAN.

EGGMAN:
Good, I'll need this.

SHADOW:
ARK.

EGGMAN:
What?

SHADOW:
Meet me, at Space Colony ARK.

EGGMAN:
Why?

SHADOW:
There is something you need to see.

SHADOW walks away.

CUT TO - INT. OFFICE-DAY

CLOSE UP on a MAN with slight british features.

MAN:
He said what?

ZOOM OUT to reveal SONIC & TAILS.

TAILS:
Professor Pickle said that you are a great teacher and reminded him much of his old mentor.

MAN:
He really said that about me? I mean he had many interns, but, I was always the guy in the back.

TAILS:
Tell me about it.

MAN & TAILS LAUGH, ZOOM past desktop name plaque saying: PROFESSOR AMADEUS PROWER.

AMADEUS:
You remind me of my son.

SONIC:
What, is he a nork too?

TAILS face-palms himself.

TAILS:
(under his breath)
You're enjoying this aren't you?

SONIC:
Hell yeah.

TAILS:
So with such high recomendation we decided to come to you, being the head of the Social Sciences Department.

SONIC:
Because when we encounter bank robbing hedgehogs, we think Geometry!

TAILS:
Geography.

SONIC:
What does Science have to do with it?

TAILS face-palms himself, again.

AMADEUS:
With the information you gave me, it'll probably take a while before I find anything.

Computer makes a tune.

AMADEUS:
Or not.

TAILS:
What?

AMADEUS:
I just Googled Shadow the Hedgehog.

SONIC:
What'd ya find? A shooter v-game?

AMADEUS:
No, it's a small scientific article about Space Colony ARK.

TAILS:
I thought that place was deserted over fifty years ago.

AMADEUS:
Aparently not, here I printed it out.

AMADEUS holds up some papers.

SONIC:
Are there any pictures?

Both TAILS & AMADEUS face-palm themselves.

AMADEUS:
Perhaps it's a better idea to let the press handle it.

TAILS:
I'm fine with that.

SONIC:
The less homework the better.

TAILS face-palms, again (the F-P is back baby)
