Transcript

 * (Show starts with a countdown starting at 5 minutes and 30 seconds on Cyberstar. At T-5:12, Aaron Fechter appears)
 * Aaron Fechter: Hello, everyone. I'm Aaron Fechter, creator of The Rock-afire Explosion and owner of Creative Engineering. If you're here for a birthday, I'd like to advise everyone to return to your table, because the show is about to start in just five minutes. Things should hopefully go smoothly...
 * (Countdown continues. At T-4:17, Steve Waters appears)
 * Steve Waters: Hey, guys, I'm Steve Waters, Vocal Coach and Resident Cool Dude! It's almost time for your Chuck E.--
 * Aaron (o/s): Um, this is not a Chuck E. Cheese's, Steve. This is a ShowBiz Pizza Place.
 * Steve: Really? Oh, never mind then.
 * (Countdown continues. At T-3:59, Chuck E. Cheese appears as a puppet)
 * Chuck E.: All right, four minutes until the show starts, everyone!
 * (Pasqually P. Pieplate appears)
 * Pasqually: Um, Chuck E.? We have-a problem.
 * Chuck E.: Yes, Pasqually?
 * Pasqually: You know that giant-a pizza we made to celebrate the 40th anniversary of ShowBiz?
 * Chuck E.: What happened?
 * Pasqually: Munch is eating it.
 * Chuck E.: You're kidding! MUNCH!
 * (Chuck E. and Pasqually run off. Countdown continues. At T-3:15, static appears on the screen and Dr. Eggman appears, seated in his Egg Mobile)
 * Dr. Eggman: Greetings, everyone! It is I, Dr. Eggman, the greatest scientific genius in the universe! My badniks hijacked this feed because I've come to make an announcement: Shadow the Hedgehog is a--
 * Orbot (o/s): Sir, something's wrong!
 * Cubot (o/s): Someone's hijacking our feed!
 * Dr. Eggman: WHAT?!
 * (Feed cuts to Sonic and Tails in the latter's workshop)
 * Sonic: Job well done, Tails! That giant, talking egg oughta be distracted for a while. Which frequency are we on, anyway?
 * Tails: It seems we're on a Chuck E. Cheese's Cyberstar system. Apparently, a birthday show is starting in two minutes. I'm cutting the power.
 * (Feed cuts to Yogi and Boo-Boo Bear on a picnic)
 * Yogi: We're enjoying this pic-a-nic basket, thank you very much.
 * Boo-Boo: We were at three locations for a brief period in '87, by the way.
 * (Feed cuts to Shinji and Asuka strolling on a sidewalk. They notice it, and Shinji pulls out his blaster.)
 * Shinji: Turn. It off. NOW.
 * Rei: (o/s) Yes, right, gotcha! Please don't stun me again...
 * (Feed cuts to Chocodile and Mickey Mouse arm-wrestling. Both notice.)
 * Chocodile: Who is that?
 * (Mickey seizes the opportunity and beats him)
 * Mickey: I win! Ha-ha!
 * (Feed cuts back to countdown. At T-57 seconds, Aaron Fechter appears again.)
 * Aaron: It's me again. The show is about to begin. Are you ready? (beat) Ugh, do I really have to do this fake interactivity thing?
 * Tim Johnson (o/s): It's in the script, Aaron.
 * Aaron: I guess I should do that. Sorry about that, folks. Anyway, to make sure you're not too busy with your phones, I'd like you all to raise your right hand if you're paying attention. (beat) Good. Now, the band will be here in less than a minute. For the record, we filmed this back in November 2019, so I'm not actually here. Still, I'd like you all to shout with me if you're ready to see Billy Bob, Looney Bird, and The Rock-afire Explosion.
 * (Aaron leads a chant of "Rock-afire".)
 * Aaron: It's time to welcome to the stage... Billy Bob!
 * (A walkaround version of Billy Bob enters. By this time, Billy Bob's curtain on Stage Left should be closed, to preserve the illusion that he has come off the stage.)
 * Billy Bob: Thank you, Aaron! What an introduction! Welcome to ShowBiz Pizza Place, everybody! Now, while my face is on the packaging, I'm not the star of the show. The star, or stars, today are our very special birthday stars, and I even brought Birthday Bird along for the occasion. All right, party hosts, introduce us to the stars of our show.
 * (ShowBiz Pizza Place employees with a microphone introduce the day's birthday kids.)
 * Billy Bob: Nice to meet you guys. Now, let's meet our friends, The Rock-afire Explosion!
 * (The Center Stage curtain opens to reveal the band)
 * Fatz: Well, thank you, everyone. Now, since this is a very special day for our special guests, I'd like you people to make some noise for them!
 * Beach Bear: Yeah, and we
