Behind the Scenes of Me, Myself, and Sonic
"Hey! Shadow!"
Shadow turned around and saw Sonic approaching him from across the studio, "What now?" he demanded, "We've already discussed this- Liz won't change the script!"
"No, not that!" Sonic said walking past Shadow to the buffet behind him, "You were about to take the last chili dog."
Shadow glared, "I can't believe I actually signed a fifty chapter contract to work with you." He said angrily.
Sonic just shrugged, "At least it's almost over, right?" he said, "Then you can go back to space and mope around on the ARK all you want."
Shadow grabbed a cup of coffee off the buffet and walked away. "Hey, where're you going?" Sonic called after him.
"Wherever you aren't." Shadow called back.
"Emo…" Sonic mumbled as he bit into his chili dog.
Shadow left the studio and went out to his trailer. He opened the door but before he could go in someone jumped out at him, "AHA!" Liz screamed, "Where are you hiding it?" she demanded, "Don't play games with me! I know you had something to do with this!"
Shadow looked at Liz's "Sherlock" clothing and groaned, "Not this 'eight thing' again!"
Liz pulled out a pipe and stuck it in her mouth, "Precisely, ol' chap." She replied, "The eight has been stolen! But not announcement eight as was last time, this time CHAPTER EIGHT HAS BEEN STOLEN!"
Shadow glared at her, "One of the chapters has been stolen?" he grumbled angrily, "That's just silly, even for you."
Liz raised an eyebrow, "You seem to know a lot about this chapter business." She said, "And what, may I ask, was THIS doing in your trailer?" Liz held up a red bra.
Shadow turned bright red, "THAT'S NOT MINE!" he shouted.
Just then Hannah walked by, "Hey that's mine!" she said taking the bra from Liz. Then she continued on her way.
Both of them stared after her, "WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN DOING IN MY TRAILER?" Shadow screamed running after her.
Liz placed the pipe back in her mouth and strode off to the studio where Sonic was now chatting with Knuckles. Both of them stopped immediately when she entered, "Oh don't tell me…" Sonic mumbled.
"Ah, boys!" Liz said upon seeing them, "It seems that there's been a kidnapping!"
"Why don't you just go search your fan character, Levee?" Knuckles asked, "She had it last time."
"Yes, but Levee isn't in this story now is she?" Liz said with a smile.
Sonic groaned, "Why don't you just rewrite the announcement?" he asked.
Liz glared, "I'm afraid it's much more serious than that!" she said sternly, "Announcement eight is safely in my profile. This time it's Chapter Eight who has been abducted."
Sonic raised an eyebrow, "You mean an entire chapter has gone missing?" he asked.
Liz nodded, "Unfortunately. However, I'm on the case so you can bet that it will be safely back in place before this chapter is at an end." She added with a smile.
Then she turned and marched off, "At least she doesn't have Komodo following her around being 'Watson.'" Knuckles said with a shrug.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that." Liz said turning around, "I'll have to go find her!" Then she sprinted out the door to find Komodo.
"So my doctor says it's from the smoking but… hey, we're all gonna die eventually, right?"
Tails was standing behind the studio with a cigarette in his hand while talking to an older female fox. "So, what character do you play in this series?" she asked.
"The character has my name but he's some whiny fanboy." Tails said rolling his eyes, "I can't stand my job."
"Well, how long have you been acting?"
"Eh, about a year now." Tails replied exhaling smoke, "My contract's almost up so I can get out of this hell hole soon."
"Where do you plan to go?"
Tails smiled at her, "Doesn't matter. I'm not picky."
Just then Amy poked her head around the corner, "Tails- we're about to start shoot- are you smoking?" she shouted when she saw the cigarette.
"Get lost, pinky. I'll be right there." Tails said. Amy glared at him and left.
Tails dropped the cigarette and stepped on it, "I'd better get going. Maybe I'll see you later." He said with a wink. Then he turned and headed off towards the studio entrance.
He came inside and found the others crowded around the set. Sonic winked at him, "Hey, Tails! Who was the girl you were talking to out back?" he asked.
Tails shrugged, "Some whore who asks too many questions." He replied.
Then Liz ran into the room closely followed by Komodo who had a bowler cap on her head and a notebook in her hands, "You fellows should get started on the next chapter. Komodo and I are off to search the rest of the building for traces of the missing chapter."
"How are we supposed to do the chapter without you?" Sonic demanded, "You're the one who makes everything happen!"
"The authoress can stand in for me." Liz replied blowing bubbles with her pipe.
"What do you mean? I thought you were the authoress…" Rouge said.
Liz smiled, "Who do you think is typing this?" she replied, "I'll call her." Liz ran out of the room to find a payphone. Komodo tipped her hat at the others and ran after her.
A moment later Liz came back dragging an identical girl grasping a laptop, "NO!" she screamed, "I'M BUSY DAMMIT! YOU MAY NOT HAVE A LIFE BUT I DO!"
Liz pushed her towards the others and she glared at all of them, "You're all going to suffer this chapter!" she said opening the laptop, "I guarantee it!"
They took a step back cautiously, "Liz… is this a good idea?" Shadow asked but she and Komodo were already gone.
Thought I'd try something different for once.
