Third Person's POV

We start in Station Square as various animals from Sonic and Brody's world can be seen travelling through Station Square. Sonic and Brody run up a skyscraper and stand atop it. Seeing what is going on in the park below, they run down the skyscraper. Kids are running like Sonic and Brody. People are sleeping in trees. Others style their hair like Sonic's quills or Brody's fur. One person even lays out colored stones in the shape of Sonic and Brody's heads. Another displays Sonic and Brody-themed badges. Yet another makes wooden Sonic and Brody sculptures. This is the Freedom Movement. Sonic and Brody run into the park and a woman looks up from her Sonic and Brody painting "Look, everybody!" A woman said "Oh wow, Sonic and Brody are here!" Another woman said and soon they have the attention of everyone in the park "Sonic! Brody!" Everyone said and they all stampede after Sonic and Brody "Calm down, will ya?" Sonic and Brody ask and they flee.

*Meanwhile at the Thorndyke Industries building*

Nelson is typing on a computer. His employee Miranda Curtis walks in "Good morning, Mr. Thorndyke" Miranda said "Good morning, Suzy" Nelson said "Those documents I mentioned are ready for you if you have the time" Miranda said "Ah. Just leave them right here, please" Nelson said "Yes, sir" Miranda said and snaps her fingers, and five men walk in carrying huge armloads of papers. They lay them on the table. Nelson looks at the papers "Hey, what is all this stuff, Suzy?" Nelson asks and the men leave. Miranda places a clipboard on top of one of the stacks "Apparently our home appliance division has been absolutely flooded with customer complaint forms" Miranda said "Are you kidding me? This can't be! Why, we've hardly ever received any complaints about our products before. How could this have happened now?" Nelson asks "I think you'd better watch this" Miranda said and turns on a TV, which shows Scarlet convering the Freedom Movement story "Sonic and Brody's popularity seems to be affecting people throughout the city in all sorts of amazing ways. From groups of children playing "catch the hedgehog and wolf" to adults sleeping on rooftops like their heroes, Sonic and Brody's fame seems to be reaching astonishing proportions. In fact, a large number of citizens are leaving their jobs in order to follow their idols. From Station Square Park, I'm Scarlet Garcia, SSTV News" Scarlet said and Miranda turns off the TV. A laughing Nelson stands up "I knew Sonic and Brody were famous, but that's ridiculous" Nelson said and laughs "Uh... But what does all this have to do with those complaints, Suzy?" Nelson asks "As you know, many of our employees are wild about Sonic and Brody too" Miranda said and Nelson nods "Well, some of them have left the company and started Sonic and Brody fan clubs, and most of the assembly line workers spend so much time talking about Sonic and Brody that their work has become shoddy. And now our customers are complaining like crazy!" Miranda said and Nelson cries out "If this keeps up, we might have to go out of business" Miranda said "I'm not losing Thorndyke Industries over some silly hedgehog and wolf!" Nelson said and the phone rings, and Nelson answers it "Thorndyke here" Nelson said "What is it? What's the matter, Ella?" He asks alarmed.

At Chris' room, "I just thought you should know that I kept Chris home from school today because he has a snuffle in his nose" Ella said "It's no big deal, Dad. I'm totally fine" Chris said "I'm giving him plenty of fresh orange juice, and he'll have a nice big bowl of my homemade chicken soup for lunch. If he gets some rest, I'm sure he'll be better in a day or so" Ella said.

Back at Thorndyke Industries, Nelson is clearly anxious "But what if he gets worse? I'm leaving the office right now. Just tell Chris to sit tight" Nelson said and hangs up "Suzy, get my helicopter ready immediately" Nelson said "What's wrong, Mr. Thorndyke?" Miranda asks "My son may be gravely ill. I've got to get home right away before it's too late!" Nelson said and runs to the door, but stops "Suzy, get Ed from home appliances in here and tell him I want these complaints taken care of by the end of the day!" Nelson said and runs out of the room.
