Chapter 2 Shadow of the Opera Bloopers
Done by ZairaDrayan/ckaira77!
"Today is the day that we do more of the story! Scene two I believe!" Sonic chirped skipping onto the set. Shadow, Amy, Vanilla, Cream, Vector, and Espio were there too. Zaira walked in after them.
"Alright! Time to start scene 2! Shadow, you only have, like, two lines, so make them sound awesome.
"I only have two lines?"
"Yes."
"The Ultimate life form deserves more than this!" Shadow snapped.
"You'll get more in the future. Sonic, be quiet! Don't tell him anything!" Zaira yelled.
"Gladly! This scene is shorter than the first one isn't it? This chapter shouldn't be very long!" Sonic replied.
"Shush!" Amy yelled.
They all heard a creaking noise. It was the fourth wall. It trembled, but didn't fall. Amy sighed with relief.
"Okay, no stalling this time! Act 1, scene 2, begin!" Zaira yelled.
Take 1
It was after the gala and Amy was with Vanilla. Vanilla nodded her approval.
"Yes, you did well. He is pleased with you," Vanilla told her. She walked back over to discuss the ballet girls' sloppy performance. Amy walks downstage. A voice then speaks to her.
"Bravi… Bravi… Bravissimi…," Shadow said unenthusiastically.
"Shadow! Be more angelic! You're her Angel of Music!" snapped Zaira.
"Right…
Take 2
"Bravi. Bravi. Bravissimi," Shadow sang. Zaira nodded to him.
Cream appeared and walked next to Amy.
"Amy! Amy!" she called looking around. However, as she was running down the stairs, the board on one of the stairs broke and she fell down with her foot caught on the stair.
"Ow…," Cream moaned.
"I thought I told Knuckles to check the stairs to make sure that they weren't too old! Now look at what's happened! Cream, are you okay?" asked Zaira racing up to her. She nodded.
"Cream dear, I'll get that foot all fixed up," Vanilla said scooping her into her arms and carrying her off the set.
"While Cream is with her, practice your lines. Shadow, go on to scene three and start memorizing. Sonic, get ready. You are going to be in this. Don't be afraid to steal flowers from Vector and Espio. Vector and Espio, don't be surprised! Now, lines!" Zaira yelled.
Shadow was looking at his lines. Sonic snuck over with a thought that made him giggle. Zaira did say she wanted him to read further… Why not show Shadow a few lines…
"Hey Shadow, do you want to read something that you'll have to do in this?" asked Sonic.
"Go away faker. I don't even want to know!" Shadow snapped.
"Oh come on! You'll only have to read one sentence! If you don't like it, beat me up!" Sonic chirped. He smirked.
"I suppose that that's worth it. What is it?" asked Shadow still glaring at Sonic.
"Well…, It's right there… In Music of the Night!" Sonic said turning to the page and pointing at it.
"I've already read the lyrics. What's wrong with it?!" snapped Shadow.
"It's what you do while you're singing it. Did you read the actions? I suggest that you read them," Sonic said.
"Okay… Yeah… I can live with that… WHAT?!" Shadow yelled staring at the text in horror. Sonic giggled. Shadow began yelling to himself about how he'll never do such things. Sonic was cracking up just thinking about it. Shadow glared at Sonic and grabbed his neck.
"You said I could beat you up didn't you? Well, luckily for me, I read ahead as well. I'll show it to you as soon as this is over!" Shadow said lifting Sonic off the ground. Sonic tried to speak, but he couldn't breathe, so you can tell how successful that was. Shadow began landing punches on Sonic left and right. Sonic could only whimper. Shadow threw him on the ground.
"Why didn't Zaira walk in right then?" asked Sonic pathetically.
"The plot didn't call for it! You are supposed to be busted for your actions. Not me! If she got me, that would mean that you got away with going completely against what Zaira said," Shadow explained.
"Shadow, I totally agree. Why don't you tell Sonic the other thing?" asked Zaira standing in the doorway.
"Very well. Sonic, read that," Shadow said throwing the script onto Sonic's face.
"All I ask of you? Why this song? Wait a second… Oh good night! For crying out loud! Why me?! Why me?!" cried Sonic reading the words.
"Sonic and Amy sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G," Shadow said.
Sonic only whimpered again. He stood up and sat down in a chair. Shadow crossed his arms and allowed a small smile of victory against Sonic.
"Cream, do you think you can continue?" asked Zaira. She nodded and Zaira told everyone to get into place again.
Take 3
"Amy! Amy!" called Cream running down some wooden stairs. She found Amy at the bottom.
Where in the world have you been hiding?
Really you were perfect!
I only wish I knew your secret.
Who is your new tutor?
Amy: Father once spoke of an angel…
I used to dream he'd appear…
Now as I sing, I can sense him,
and I know he's here!
"AAH!" someone cried interrupting Amy. Someone fell from the sky and landed in front of them with a crash!
CRASH!
"Shadow? What are you doing?" asked Amy.
"I am your "Angel of Music"...," Shadow mumbled from the floor.
"My hero…," Amy said in reply.
Take 4
Here in this room, he calls me softly.
Somewhere inside, hiding.
Somehow I know he's always with me.
He's the unseen genius!
Cream: Amy, you must have been dreaming…
Stories like this can't come true.
Amy, you're speaking in riddles!
And it's not like you!
Amy: Angel of Music!
Guide and guardian!
Grant to me your glory!
Sonic was giggling in a corner. He was thinking of Shadow actually lending Amy his glory. How would he do it?
"Hey Amy, if you want my glory, you blow up to save the world!" Sonic thought in his head. Sonic burst out laughing.
"QUIET! We're almost done. Once finished, you can go do whatever! Shadow and Sonic can fight all they want, Amy can explode to save the world, and honestly I don't really care about what you do in your spare time! Just work with me now!" snapped Zaira.
"Yeah! Do what the director says!" Sonic yelled.
"Shut up Sonic."
Take 5
Cream: Who is this angel?
This
Both: Angel of Music!
Hide no longer!
Secret and strange angel!
Amy: He's with me even now…
Cream: Your hands are cold!
Amy: All around me…
Cream: Your face, Amy, it's white!
"It is kind of cold…," Amy chattered. Everyone in the room shivered.
" Alright, who turned on the air conditioner!?" demanded Zaira looking around. She saw Shadow lying next to it. He had turned the switch to freezing.
"Shadow! Turn the heat back on!" snapped Sonic.
"No. I'm hot. Too hot. I'm the hottest person in the room. I'm the hottest out of all the characters in the world! I deserve this thing to freeze my heart, but to still show off my hotness!" Shadow explained. Zaira rolled her eyes.
Take 6
Amy: It frightens me…
Cream: Don't be frightened…
They were interrupted by Vanilla walking into the room looking for Cream. After all, she was a ballerina…
"Cream, are you a dancer? Then come and practice!" Vanilla told her. Cream nodded to her mother and went off with her mother. Two seconds later, Cream came scurrying back.
"Amy, I was asked to give you this!" Cream said handing her a scarf.
"Wow… This is quite the ugly scarf…," Amy said looking at the scarf.
"That's not in the script! One more time and we'll be done!" Zaira yelled.
Take 7
"Amy, I was asked to give you this!" Cream said handing Amy the scarf. She then hurried away.
Amy stared down at the scarf and smiled. She remembered this scarf. From a long time ago…
"A red scarf… The attic… Little Lotte…," Amy remembered.
"That's a wrap! Well, at least today was a lot smoother. Probably because the scene was so short. Well, six pages isn't all that bad… I guess…," Zaira said.
Everybody heard the fourth wall creak and totter again. It didn't break. Everybody sighed again.
"Sonic, do you want to practice lines again at my apartment? We could play some games afterwards!" Amy said.
Sonic nodded. They also decided to invite Shadow and Knuckles. When they both reluctantly agreed, the four set off on a journey to Amy's apartment. They sat in a circle and got out their scripts.
"At least, this scene has me in it unlike most other times…," Sonic mumbled to himself.
"I doubt I'm in it," Knuckles remarked.
"I don't think I come back in 'till scene four!" Shadow snapped.
"No, you come in at the end of scene three. You stop me when I try to go with Sonic," Amy replied.
"Ah."
After they finished rehearsing scene three, they played a game of truth or dare. Amy was to start by either asking Sonic truth or dare. Sonic chose dare.
"Okay Sonic, I dare you to kiss the girl you like the most!" Amy dared. Shadow and Knuckles snickered. Sonic turned bright red.
"You read ahead! Naughty Little Lotte!" Sonic yelled.
After truth or dare, they played Quelf (I made an entire story that explains it completely that's full of laughs and ridiculous actions). Shadow was the one who had laugh like a hyena each time a card was drawn. Knuckles had to eat an avocado and a strawberry together. Amy had to act like Shadow throughout the entire game. Sonic (once again) had to walk around the house making boomerang noises. It was a perfect night. Perfect as in ridiculous. They all went home.
That morning they returned to work with lines all memorized. Time for more torture for Zaira the director to begin!
