We'll be together again someday

Machines

At Station Square animals from Sonic's world were travelling through. Sonic ran up a skyscraper and stood atop it. Seeing what was going on in the park below, he ran down the skyscraper. Kids were running like Sonic. People were sleeping in trees. Others style their hair like Sonic's quills. One person even laid out colored stones in the shape of Sonic's head. Another displayed Sonic-themed badges. Yet another makes wooden Sonic sculptures. This was the Freedom Movement. Sonic ran into the park.

A woman looked up from her Sonic painting.

"Look, everybody!" woman 1 said.

"Oh wow, Sonic's here!" woman 2 said.

Soon he had the attention of everyone in the park.

Everyone cross talked.

They all stampeded after Sonic.

'Oh great!' Sonic thought.

"Calm down, will ya?" he said and fled.

At Thorndyke Industries building Nelson was typing on a computer when his employee Miranda Curtis walked 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."

"Ah. Just leave them right here, please."

"Yes, sir." she said and snapped her fingers, and five men walked in carrying huge armloads of papers.

They laid them on the table. Nelson looked at the papers.

"Hey, what is all this stuff, Suzy?" he asked as the men left.

Miranda placed a clipboard on top of one of the stacks.

"Apparently our home appliance division has been absolutely flooded with customer complaint forms." she 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?"

"I think you'd better watch this." she said and turned on a TV, showing Scarlet converting the Freedom Movement story.

"Sonic's popularity seems to be affecting people throughout the city in all sorts of amazing ways. From groups of children playing "catch the hedgehog" to adults sleeping on rooftops like their hero, Sonic's fame seems to be reaching astonishing proportions. In fact, a large number of citizens are leaving their jobs in order to follow their idol. From Station Square Park, I'm Scarlet Garcia, SSTV News." Scarlet said.

Miranda turned off the TV as a laughing Nelson stood up.

"I knew Sonic was famous, but that's ridiculous." he and laughed. "Uh... But what does all this have to do with those complaints, Suzy?" he asked.

"As you know, many of our employees are wild about Sonic too." she and he nodded. "Well, some of them have left the company and started Sonic fan clubs, and most of the assembly line workers spend so much time talking about Sonic that their work has become shoddy. And now our customers are complaining like crazy!"

Nelson cried out.

"If this keeps up, we might have to go out of business." she said.

"I'm not losing Thorndyke Industries over some silly hedgehog!"

Then the phone rang, and he answered it.

"Thorndyke here." he said on the phone. "What is it? What's the matter, Ella?" he asked alarmed.
