TEASER

 

FADE IN:

 

EXT. EMPTY VALLEY OUTSIDE ROBOTROPOLIS – EARLY MORNING

 

It was around 4 AM.  The sky was as clear as it could get on a December night, it was full moon and everything seemed to be perfectly easy and quiet.  The snow laid like a thick carpet on the ground and in the beginning of a forest, the Sonic Underground van stood, almost covered by snow too.

 

DISSOLVE TO.

 

INT. SONIC UNDERGROUND VAN - ESTABLISHING

 

Inside the van, SONIA and MANIC were asleep and here, the only sounds that were heard were Manic's soft snoring and sleep mumbling.  PAN TO bedroom doorway.  By the bedroom door is SONIC THE HEDGEHOG, holding a wooden spoon and a pot.  Sonic stepped forward and started BANGING the wooden spoon on a pot, making Sonia and Manic sit up in their bunks with a SCREAM.

 

ANGLE ON SONIC

 

Sonic still banged and SMILED.

 

SONIC

Good morning!

 

Sonic STOPPED.

 

ANGLE ON SONIA AND MANIC

 

Manic YAWNED bluntly, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

 

MANIC

(dreary)

Awww, maaan, bro, what's up with this?  It's 4 AM, even you should be asleep now!

(beat)

Well, I should, anyway!

 

He GRUMBLED.  Sonia lay back in the bunk, covering her head with a pillow mumbling something about her brothers, having no mercy.

 

WIDE SHOT OF ALL THREE

 

SONIC

Ah, com' on!  Cyrus just called, we've gotta get to Robotropolis.  Robotnik’s rebuilt the prison building and some new factories, we've gotta blow them up at the same time!

 

Sonic TAPPED HIS FOOT.

 

MANIC

How come we have to do it NOW?

 

Manic got out of his bunk and put his shoes on.

 

MANIC (CONT’D)

It doesn't exactly sound like it's urgent—

 

SONIC

(interrupting)

Well, it is!  The new SWAT bot factory is pretty big.  It could improve the production of SWAT bots with at least 20% like this!

 

Sonic quickly SNAPPED his finger in front of Manic's face making him almost fall backwards while he was messing with his laces.

 

SONIA

But, we’re still in training.  You said it wasn't time for a mission yet.

 

Sonia lifted an eyebrow.

 

SONIC

Well, we need you here, Sonia.  We've got nobody else at the moment, and besides, you seem to be great at this already.

 

Sonic GRINNED.  Manic walked over and helped her down from her bunk.

 

MANIC

You'll do fine.  I was raised on the streets.  I’m a fighter born and raised.

 

Sonia SIGHED.

 

SONIA

I know.  I’m a black belt in Wu-Shu, but I still don’t think we’re ready for any big fights as of yet.  Can it wait ‘til morning?

 

Sonia LAID back in bed and put the pillows and blankets over her head.

 

CLOSE ON SONIC

 

Sonic SNICKERED quietly and walked over to her.

 

SONIC

Yo, sleeping beauty!  It's time to get up!

 

He quickly snatched both the pillow and blanket, making Sonia send him a look that insured him she'd probably send him FLYING to Robotropolis.

 

SONIA

(muttering)

Boys.

 

She got out of her bunk.  Sonic and Manic SNICKERED.

 

SONIC

Ok, guys, if anybody wants breakfast, it's now.  We're leaving in 30 minutes.

 

Sonic pointed to the already set table for breakfast.

 

BLACK OUT.
