Shadow and Knuckles were sitting at their usual green table on the second floor of the Pizza Hut, with Knuckles wolfing down on his fourth slice of black olives and pepperoni pizza, while Shadow held a can of Diet Pepsi that read '/co/' on it, drinking it down as he sighed. Knuckles burped loudly as he wiped his mouth.
"Man, the pizzas have been getting better recently!" Knuckles exclaimed, referring to how good the employees' cooking skills were. "I could literally eat these pizzas for hours on hours end!"
Shadow murmured as he nodded his head. "Yeah... speaking of which, I wonder why Vector asked Silver into his office..." He closed his eyes as he sipped his Diet Pepsi. "Probably something stupid, as usual."
"...So," Vector started as he was sitting at his desk for once, clearing his throat as he folded his hands together. "We're near one billion dollars in revenue."
Silver's eyes lit up as he was legitimately shocked. "Real talk? We are?"
"...Yes. I thought I should just point that out." Vector commented as he cleared his throat. "But more importantly, we're near a billion customers."
Silver's jaw literally dropped to the ground as Space Ghost screamed girlishly, with Moltar falling on his back as Toadette, Charmy, Espio, Rotor, and Sonic all rushing into the office, crowding the front of Vector's desk.
"SERIOUSLY!?" Everyone exclaimed in shock as Silver placed his jaw back up.
Vector smiled as he closed his eyes, nodding his head. "That's right. And when the time comes, I want all of you to be prepared. For when our one billionth customer shows up, we're making him or her the greatest pizza that is ever known to the universe!"
Rotor scratched his head with his right hand, gulping. "Gee... that kind of sounds ambitious."
"A little too ambitious." Moltar added in his two cents as he nodded, mainly due to limited animation.
"Will this be a delivery?" Charmy piped in as he raised his right hand, buzzing about.
Vector waved his right hand at Charmy, shaking his head. "No, no. This is a genuine date for the Pizza Hut. We'll have a huge celebration here."
"But the question is, are we going to have any customers here?" Espio suggested.
Vector murmured as he placed his right hand on his chin, when suddenly Scourge The Hedgehog showed up, bursting through the west wall.
"Ha! Prepare to give in your lives, fools!" Scourge exclaimed as he pointed at himself, chuckling sinisterly as he smirked. "Scourge The Hedgehog is back in business!"
Everyone briefly looked at Scourge as they continued their conversation, with Scourge gawking in disbelief.
"So, who will the billionth customer be?" Toadette asked as she pumped her arms.
Vector shrugged as he opened his eyes. "Beats me. But probably someone unexpected. After all, expect the unexpected as Plucky Duck would sing."
"Hey? Hello!" Scourge called out as he waved his green arms. "Pay attention to me! I'm a superior evil clone of a lame character!"
Sonic casted a glare at Scourge. "Oh shut up! We're too busy actually formulating how to make a very special occasion work! Go be a crappy recolor elsewhere!"
Scourge pouted as he stomped his feet in anger, steam coming out of his ears. "Grr! I'm not a crappy recolor! I'm a superior evil version of you! And hearing you say that makes me so mad!"
Space Ghost then blasted Scourge with his destructo ray, reducing Scourge to a pile of ashes.
"You were saying?" Space Ghost asked Vector as he focused his attention on the anthropomorphic crocodile.
Vector folded his lanky green arms as he nodded his head. "Right. As I was saying, we have to make this occasion special."
Scourge groaned in pain as he glared at the group with his cartoony eyes on top of the pile of ashes that formerly was his body, with the workers trying to formulate how to make the important feat special.
