{The rising sun had already lit up McDonaldland. Sundae had woken up as usual via his alarm clock, balloon and horn. When going to Ronald's hamburger bed, the dog found that his master was nowhere to be seen.}

Sundae: {raises an eyebrow} Huh, that's funny. He's usually here.

{Curious, Sundae goes downstairs and into the kitchen where the front door sets. There, he finds Ronald lying on the floor unconscious.}

Sundae: {gasped} Ronald! {goes to nudge him to wake up} Ronald! Are you okay? Speak to me!

{Ronald slowly opens his eyes and sits up.}

Ronald: {groans} Sundae? What happened?

Sundae: I was hoping you could tell me that.

Ronald: {as he gets up from the floor} All I can remember is waking up last night. Everything else is a blur.

Sundae: Better you call a doctor.

Ronald: Good idea.

...

{Ronald had called and was able to get an emergency appointment with Dr. Jones at his office. With an extensive check-up, the medical professional was unable to find anything wrong.}

Dr. Jones: That's odd; nothing seems to be problematic.

Ronald: Are you sure?

Dr. Jones: I'm positive. Even with all that junk food you eat, you're as healthy as a horse.

Ronald: I don't eat it all the time; I do it in moderation. But what could've made me be in that state this morning?

Dr. Jones: My guess is either sleep-walking or your body was so tired that it crashed when you had woken up that night.

Ronald: I still feel odd, though. It's hard to explain.

Dr. Jones: Try to go home and get some rest. If anything pops up, let me know.

Ronald: I will.

...

{Later that day, Ronald goes to the circus trailer to explain to Bozo and Cerise what had happened.}

Bozo: You overdid your powers, did you?

Ronald: I didn't. I would still be asleep.

Bozo: Well it probably works differently now that you're older.

Ronald: Yeah but-

Birdie's voice: Ronald!

{Birdie, Hamburglar, Grimace, the McNuggets and Sundae rush to Ronald with the early bird hugging the clown.}

Birdie: Sundae told us what had happened!

Grimace: Are you alright?

Ronald: {chuckles} Of course. Don't worry, guys; the doctor found nothing wrong.

Bozo: Yeah. Ronald just needs to take Clara-Rose's advice and settle down a bit.

Ronald: Dad...

Bozo: She's not wrong.

Hamburglar: But that's not the only reason why we came here. We got a call from the Professor, Franklin and Dr. Quizzical; they want you to meet them at the Far-Flung Forest right away.

Ronald: What for?

Sundae: They didn't say much. Just some weird stuff going on.
