"Hey everybody, welcome back to the show, I'm your host, Bean the Dynamite and right now we've got a special guest for you tonight." Bean announced.
"That's right, Sonic the Hedgehog is here." Bean said.
Instantly the audience inside went crazy, applauding and cheering as soon as Bean mentioned his name.
"He's gonna give us a little inside scoop on his new movie, plus we've got an exclusive sneak peak, so here he is, Sonic the Hedgehog!" Bean said.
Sonic walked on stage, the sound of the crowd almost overwhelming him, not having done an actual live appearance since his so called prime.
Sonic took a seat on the couch, Bean at his desk, just laughing at the crowds reaction.
"I do this show every week and don't get nearly half that reaction." Bean said, making the audience laugh a little.
"No, but in all seriousness, I've worked with this guy at his lowest point and even then it was still awesome to work with him." Bean said.
Bean shook Sonic's hand as the crowd applauded again.
"So, first things first, let's talk about your love life." Bean said.
Everyone in the audience collectively made the same noise, so entertained by Sonic's reaction.
"You knew this was coming, dude." Bean said.
"Yeah." Sonic said.
"Alright, first of all, you're married now." Bean said.
"That's right." Sonic said, happily, as he pointed to the ring on his finger.
The audience applauded again at that.
"So, you and Amy have been together for a long time now, is it weird working with her, because her character is basically obsessed with you?" Bean asked.
"No, it was only weird at first when we weren't dating, like on the set of Sonic CD when she constantly hugged me, it was a bit awkward for the both of us, but after awhile it just started to click." Sonic said.
"Alright, now there has been a bit of drama on set I hear." Bean brought up.
"A lot of tension between Rouge and Knuckles, a lot of effects going haywire, how do you feel about the production and all these problems?" Bean asked.
"Honestly, I think we've been through a lot of tougher situations and we come out on top every time, so I think that we'll get through this no problem." Sonic said.
"So, what everyone wants to know is, who is this Shadow guy and what's his plan?" Bean asked.
"Well, I don't want to give too much away, you gotta go see the movie to get the full story, but I will say that not everything is what it seems, there is a lot of misunderstanding about my character and Shadow's character in everyone's view, I think that our characters in this one have more depth and story behind them, the stakes are a lot higher, the action is more intense, I think it's gonna be great and it's something you have to see to believe." Sonic said.
The audience applauded that, excited for the new film, Sonic building the hype even further.
"Well, we've got a sneak peak right here, a clip from the film, take a look." Bean said.
Meanwhile.
Amy sat at home, watching the interview, when the phone rang.
"Hello?" Amy said.
"Amy, it's Rouge." Rouge said.
"Hey, what's up?" Amy asked.
There was a period of silence on the line for about ten seconds before Rouge answered.
"I need your help." Rouge said.
