This chapter is a bit short, mostly because these couple of years don't have much material to work with.

But once we get to a certain infamous game in the series that I think we all know by this point, the chapters will go back to being a bit longer again.

July 26th 2004.

Blaze had been accepted and after signing her contract, she had become an official member of the Sonic cast.

While filming for the special wouldn't start for another three months, Blaze's confidence and enthusiasm were at an all time high.

As she worked at the hospital, the staff and even some of the patients congratulated her and wished her the best of luck.

However, while things were going great on that side, the same could not be said for the rest of cast.

Specially, Shadow.

Sega Studios.

"So… the movie seems like it's gonna be… good." Sonic tried to lie.

Shadow looked at him, with an unamused expression.

"It's a disaster." Shadow said.

"Come on, it can't be that bad." Sonic said.

"So they're making it a bit more action based and over the top, what's the harm in that?" Sonic pointed out.

"Well, apparently I may be part alien or maybe not, I may be the real Shadow or maybe not and I might be the protagonist or the antagonist." Shadow told him.

"That last part sounds kind of cool." Sonic said.

"In concept, yes, in execution, not so much." Shadow said.

"The problem is that they don't even tell me what decisions they're going to make and they're all so ridiculous." Shadow said.

"Well… at least the motorcycle is kind of cool." Sonic said, still trying to look on the positive side of things.

"Yeah, they're letting me keep it, but what's the point of it when we can run faster?" Shadow questioned.

"Because it looks awesome for all of the posters." Sonic said.

Shadow sighed, knowing that this could ruin his image as well as damage his character's reputation.

"Look, don't worry about it, I've been in plenty of bad projects too, it's nothing to stress about, you've just got to roll with it and keep moving." Sonic said.

"Yes, but you had good movies to fall back on and years of recognition." Shadow pointed out.

"I'm still fairly new and this is my only solo project." Shadow said.

"Hey, I'm sure it'll find it's audience." Sonic said.

"Besides, you're so popular, I'm sure it'll get a sequel." Sonic said.

Shadow just chuckled at Sonic's remark, not believing that he would be getting another solo movie.
