The socially awkward hedgehog was standing outside of the studio, staring up at the sign that proudly displayed, "SEGA; SONIC THE HEDGEHOG" with tiny words under it that was difficult to read and it seemed to be weathered down... He avoided the crew members that worked offset, watching them pushing in the cameras and interesting sets like a large gold ring with a tiny mouse mobian who stood next to it on the cart was polishing it furiously... Ah! Eggman's eggbots that laid on a cart was pushed by an golden polar bear mobian into the building with Lucas smiling widely.

Wow. This was real.

The pink hedgehog and the white bat greeted Lucas warmly; introducing themselves to the nervous ebony hedgehog then took him to meet the cast one by one, a quiet alligator mobian that was mending a torn glove with a needle and string had said hello warmly to Lucas. A purple chameleon was dancing to hard core metal music with headphones, pumping his fists in the air and lip syncing the lyrics while a small bee hushed him, reading a thick book while sitting on the tail of Vector's with thick reading glasses... That was the team chatoix! And oh! Eggman! He looked weird without his mustache though who was arguing with a hot headed lady with pointy ears who might be an overlander over his costume that was too 'tight'. Lucas practically met everyone all but the blue hero …Amy waved it off, saying he's at the cafe getting his latte so he'll see Sonic later at the crew meeting.

Amy and Rouge then excused themselves, having to go over with costumes fitting but promising they will be back to take him to the make up section to experiment with Lucas's appearance to match his role he will play . Lucas sat down by the snack table, dazed and grinning like an idiot. Man this was going to be so cool! Something blue had caught Lucas's eyes, making him look to see fully and let out a tiny inaudible gasp. It was Sonic! The starstruck hedgehog just stared at the fastest thing alive as Sonic made his way to the table… Was he coming to say hello to Lucas!? His mind was racking, spinning and took a tumble at trying to think something cool to say to his hero. The blue hedgehog was now at Lucas's side, not paying attention at all as he grabbed a doughnut with a bored expression on his face.

Thank chaos he was sitting on the bench or else his knees would give out! "Uh… H-Hello, Sonic the hedgehog! I'm your b-biggest fan!"

Oh my chaos.

Lucas sounded like a creepy stalker who's choking on a piece of lemon! Just shoot him now. Sonic looked up, blinked before looking in Lucas's direction as the awkward hedgehog waved shyly with a grin in a dork way. Did this ebony hedgehog wandered away from the tour group? Sonic pondered that but then the timid actor spoke up.

"Um… I'm… Y-Your rival for this…? M-My name is L-Luh-Lucas..." The said rival was stumbling with his words, cheeks deeply flushed as he fidgeted with the rolled up script that was being twisted by his slightly shaky hands. Sonic just looked confused, eyebrows furrowed and the corners of his lips was down as if Sonic was trying to understand what the stammering fanboy was saying.

That was Sonic's rival? The fearsome and dark hedgehog that reeks of mystery and angst backstory? He looks as if he was ready to pass out from the excitement. Holy chaos. What where the cast directors thinking? Had they drank too much coffee and just decided on the spot to pick this guy? Sonic barely can imagine him doing this in front of everyone when he couldn't even say hello properly… Though Lucas was pretty cute. For a male hedgehog.

"Uh… Hi Lucas? Nice to meet you." Sonic said cautiously, extending a hand to the blushing hedgehog that stared at it with big eyes before slowly copied the hero's gesture and shakily shook it with a hand.

He was touching Sonic's hand with his own!

Someone better pinch him- Wait, don't. If this was a dream, this was the best one yet. "Uhm, I really love your work and I have so many questions for you! I had been wondering about..." Lucas rambled on, twisting the script and blushing shyly as Sonic stared before becoming amused at this. Usually as fans lays their eyes on Sonic, they go insane and scream then declare their love for Sonic or ask him why he had changed his eye color demanding an answer and asking Sonic about a glitch, Tails doll or 'ships' like Sonamy which was baffling... But instead he had this rather surprisingly adorable fan who's actually polite and quiet that tries to be careful about questions he ask Sonic about.

Somehow, Sonic and Lucas got deep in a conversation as they walked together to the set and the stammering hedgehog had calmed a bit. Lucas was interested in Sonic but not what fans usually are interested in but about him what his favorite music is and everything as if Sonic was a normal hedgehog.

To be honest, this was refreshing and Sonic was relishing the moment with them in it.

As Lucas and Sonic got closer...

And closer... Lucas unknowingly had walked onto Sonic's trap that Sonic had laid out for him.

Before Sonic could react, it was too late.

SPLASH!

The azure hedgehog stood before the newcomer that sat in the soaking puddle with the bucket on his head, surprised yet hurt expression formed on the ebony hedgehog's face as he looked upon his idol. And a feeling of regret formed in his mind then to the hero's chest...

Honestly, what was he thinking?

That was a pretty dickish move even for Sonic... they stayed quiet and slowly they acknowledged their surroundings then the crew and the actors who were watching the whole thing that had played out. Sonic had changed his mind at the last minute, trying to get Lucas away from the prank but it was too late and for the first time, Sonic was too slow.

"Lucas... I... I'm sorry, I didn't meant-"

"SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!"

Sonic jumped at the booming voice, turning around as she saw a angry overlander marching to them with a frown plastered on her face and stood before Sonic. She was short yet she towered over Sonic with a disapproving glare. "This is the last time you'll ever pull a chaos damned prank on my set! You are going to your trailer and don't you dare to think just because you're the star doesn't means you get to pull this crap!"

The woman snarled, jabbing a finger into the chest of Sonic that backed away and held his hands. "Okay okay, jeez Rebecca I was just-" "GO." And went the hero to his trailer with a tail between his legs. Sonic didn't dare to argue with a woman who strikes fear in even huge mobians's hearts with a glare. The overlander kept a eye on him until he went into his trailer then sighed and turned to glare at the crew which made them go back to work. The short woman then knelt down to the soaked hedgehog's level and glanced at him with a now worried expression.

"Y'all right, man? Don't worry about this, Sonic pulls stupid pranks all the time when he's bored and it seems he likes you so he's probably feeling bad right now." Rebecca said softly, taking a towel from the small mouse that was working on the ring and laid it on the quiet hedgehog's shoulders.

This wasn't the welcome Lucas had excepted...

Lucas then was escorted with Rebecca to his own trailer to dry.

Well this wasn't how Lucas had excepted but he knew he'll never forget this day...
