The Beginning of the End

*A shot of Sonic and Maria running is shown*

"*As Narrator* Freedom fever is spreading wild as fans of Sonic the Hedgehog and Maria the Hedgehog embrace the new Freedom Movement, adopting the carefree lifestyle of their heroes,"said Scarlet.

*Sonic and Maria makes the covers of various magazines as people chant "Freedom!".*

"*As Narrator* It seems like the entire planet is caught up in the craze!,"Scarlet said.

*A shot of two people wearing Sonic and Maria-themed clothes is shown before cutting to Sonic running again*

"*As Narrator* The International Track and Field Association reports that runners around the world are setting new records every day,"She said.

*Scene: A racetrack*

*Chris is running a race. He crosses the finish line in first place*

"Wow! Eight seconds flat!,"said Judge.
"*Fist-pumps* Haha! Yeah!,"yelled Chris.

*Scene Change: Thorndyke Mansion - Outside*

*Decoe is clipping the hedges, and Bocoe is sweeping the trimmings*

"I love working for the Thorndyke family. Now the only thing we have to attack is crabgrass!,"said Bocoe. "Plus we get weekends off! Eggman never gave us free time except the time he made us work for free,"said Decoe.

*Chris arrives. He is wearing his backpack*

"Hey, how's it going, you guys?,"asked Chris. "Hello, Christopher!,"said Decoe.
"Welcome home!,"said Bocoe. "Your parents just arrived back here a few minutes ago,"Decoe said. "Great! Where are they?,"Chris asked. "In the backyard. They are extremely eager to see you!,"Decoe answered. "Thanks, guys!,"He said.

*He runs inside*

"What a nice kid,"said Bocoe. "It is hard to believe that a few days ago we were trying to destroy him,"said Decoe. "I guess we should get back to work,"Bocoe said. "Right! We still have to fill in that ditch we dug earlier,"Decoe said.

*Tanaka, who is walking nearby, slips. Meanwhile, Eggman serves Bokkun what appears to be a putrid purple liquid inside a small hollow tree. Bokkun is wearing a red T-shirt that says “Freedom” on the front*

"Bon appetit!,"said Dr. Eggman. "A tree stump? I can't eat wood for lunch! What do I look like, a termite?,"asked Bokkun. "Well, it's the only food we have. But if you don't like it, we can skip to the mud pie I made for dessert,"Dr. Eggman said.

*He flips a few more trees in a frying pan before walking away*

"I hope Decoe and Bocoe ask for their jobs back. Their food didn't tastes good, but they never served me lumber for lunch!,"Bokkun said. "Forget it. I wouldn't take those two turncoats back if they came crawling to me on their gear boxes,"said Dr. Eggman.

*Meanwhile, Nelson and Lindsey, who are also wearing Freedom shirts, are grilling. Ella, Chris, Amy, and Cream are setting the tables. Chuck is stirring soup. Ella walks over as Nelson hold up some slightly burnt meat*

"Oh, uh, no thank you, sir. There might not be enough to go around,"said Ella. "Nonsense, Ella. We have more than enough,"said Lindsey. "That's... great,"Ella said. "I know you love good food, so I expect to see you back for seconds. *He serves Ella some of the meat, and she cringes a little* When I heard all my employee were taking time off because of this freedom fad, I thought I'd take a little free time too,"said Nelson. "Christopher is thrilled that you'll be spending more time here, and so am I,"She said. "I never realized what a burden stardom is until I joined the freedom movement,"said Lindsey.
"Go Freedom!,"They said. "Alright!,"She said. "My shish kebabs are done, so get ready, gang! They're gonna knock you out!,"Nelson said. "I just hope the medics will be able to revive us,"said Chuck.
