Transcript

 * (issue starts in the Westopolis World Premiere theater, with several movies fans and reporters surrounding the Red Carpet)
 * Announcer: Yes! Here they come, ladies and gentlemen! The makers and cast of your newest movie: Chao in Space! (a limousine approaches, and someone exits from it) Stepping on the red carpet is the movie's director and producer, and your most beloved speed-running hero of all time... (the director is revealed to be Sonic, who is wearing a tuxedo and waving at the crowd) SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!! (as the public cheers, Sonic walks towards the red carpet followed by his friends)
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: (narrating the above sequence) You're probably thinking: "Why is your way-past-cool favorite hedgehog in the red carpet of Westopolis World Premiere theater? Being cheered on by so many fans?". That would be for the same reason a movie director and his crew do it: (Sonic sees a poster of "Chao in Space in the entrance") to go watch as their masterpiece of a movie hits the big screen. Like this movie that my friends and I having been working on for six months. "How did it all start?", you may ask... then let's go behind the scenes of all this. Back when Tails, Knuckles and I were still...
 * (scene changes to a flashback with a tagline saying "SIX MONTHS AGO...", and Sonic's incoming phrase becoming the issue's title) PICKING A TITLE.
 * (we see Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles leaving a theater, with the movie "PIERRE THE GREAT" announced; the three are disappointed)
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Ugh. I can't believe we've wasted 15 rings on this garbage they say is a "movie".
 * Miles "Tails" Prower: Me neither. I mean, they said it was about Pierre rising up to be a hero and sort of. Instead, we got this. Him and his arrogant ego...
 * Knuckles the Echidna: Even that girl Sybille whom they promised would be "part of the main cast" didn't show up much in that "so-called" movie like they said she would.
 * Miles "Tails" Prower: Yeah. And I could even notice that a lot of scenes with her were even cut from the movie. And believe me, guys. I know a sign of a deleted scene when I see one.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: And I even saw her arguing with the director about it. And she yelled at him pretty awfully.
 * Tails and Knuckles: Yikes!
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: (on thoughts) And more personally... (back in a corridor, we see the director of Pierre's movie being shooed away by Sybille (who is offscreen, and throwing objects at him) from her dressing room) I kinda have a bad feeling about this 'director'... (a close-up reveals the director to be Dr. Eggman in disguise, as she runs away in panic; scene cuts back to Sonic and his friends)
 * Knuckles the Echidna: I'd really hate to be that director right now.
 * Miles "Tails" Prower: Wouldn't happen if he directed a better movie. One that doesn't involve what we saw today. One of our own making, even.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: (he and his friends pause for a moment after hearing this) That of all things is... (they share a smile) a great idea.
 * Knuckles the Echidna: Totally.
 * Miles "Tails" Prower: And by better... I mean something they appreciate more these days. Something like... (they see Cream and Blaze cuddling Cheese and his fellow Chao. Then, they stare at a child hedgehog riding a kiddie ride with several children waiting their turn) a space adventure type... starting the Chao...
 * All three: (excited) That would be brilliant!
 * Knuckles the Echidna: So, who do we share that idea with?
 * (in another scene, we see the three consulting Desmond Wolf, the head of Desmond Pictures)
 * Desmond Wolf: A space adventure movie starting the Chao. Fascinating, boys. Simple, but it's got--
 * Miles "Tails" Prower: Spark?
 * Desmond Wolf: Yes. Where did you get the idea?
 * Knuckles the Echidna: Some girls' passion for the Chao... which Tikal shared...
 * Miles "Tails" Prower: ... and kids' fascination for outer space.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: And we thought maybe, a combination between these two ideas would do the trick.
 * Desmond Wolf: Brilliant. I love it.
 * All three: (excited) Yes!
 * Desmond Wolf: And I also trust the three of you have picked some alternatives for the title to begin with?
 * Miles "Tails" Prower: We did. And we made this list. Just in case... (passes Desmond the list)
 * Desmond Wolf: Very well, then. Let's see... (checks the alternatives. Then, he makes his choice) I pretty much appreciated more the option: "Chao in Space". Again, I say: It's simple. But it's still got some spark. What do you say?
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Well, then... "Chao in Space", it is.
