The scene starts with Tails flying his plane over the canyons, diving down deeper and gliding through.
Knuckles soon flew up next to him. "Dude. What's up?"
"How can you be flying like that?" Tails asked surprised.
Knuckles rolled his eyes. "That's because he isn't."
"Hah!" Knuckles laughed and pointed down. "I'm Sonic powered!"
Down on the ground is Sonic pulling on a leach. Knuckles is also strapped to a parachute.
Amy resists the urge to roll her eyes. "Boys."
Sonic smirked up at Knuckles. "let's go for a big boy ride!"
"Yeah!" The red echidna cheered happily. He laughed as Sonic's speed built up, causing Knuckles to smash into the boulders.
Lilac winced. "Woah, Sonic, be careful!"
"You could seriously hurt him!" Amy scolded.
Knuckles shrugged his shoulders. "I'm pretty sure he's been through worse."
"This is fun!" Knuckles laughed.
"See? Told ya."
"It's only mildly damaging my kidneys!"
". . .Know what? Forget I said anything."
"Really? Because it looks to me that your twin is-"
"One more word out of you, Sonic, and I'm gonna break your teeth."
"Use your head on this one!" Sonic smirked, running up to a pile of rocks. Knuckles yelped in pain as he banged his head on a rock, and Sonic toppled to his back with Knuckles landing next to him. "You know, in retrospect that have been a bad idea."
Carol deadpanned. "Ya think?"
"I don't know what retrospect is, but it was advice here, too." Knuckles grumbled.
"Ya think?" Knuckles groused.
There's a sound of rocks falling. As Sonic and Knuckles look up in amazement, they see a giant creature made of rocks standing up. The monster is holding its head and moaning, then it yawns and looks down at them.
"That's the first time I saw a monster like that." Sonic stated.
The blue blur glanced at the monster. "Huh, maybe it's a friendly gargantuan monster."
Cory raised a brow. "He just met the monster and yet he thinks it's friendly??"
Milla scratched her chin. "I mean, not all monsters are bad."
Cream raised her hand. "What does gargantuan mean?"
"It means gigantic, Cream." Lucy answered the rabbit.
"Okay."
The monster let out an angry roar, sending Sonic face down on the ground. Sonic lifts his head and glances back at the monster. "Nope. He's playing into stereotype."
"Well, he's probably mad because you and Knuckles woke it by doing. . . whatever you guys were doing." Tails guessed. "You can't really blame it."
"Would you blame it when it destroys the village?" Sonic questioned.
"If it destroys the village, it's you and Knuckle's twins fault." Amy points out.
"Jeez, thanks a lot, Ames."
The monster goes for a punch towards Sonic, but the speedster quickly moves away.
"Here I come!" Tails announced, flying his plane to help his friends. The monster batted the plane away. "There I go."
Milla frowned. "Poor, Tails."
"I'm sure he's fine." Knuckles assured the pup.
"Keep him busy, Sonic!" Knuckles said, running up. "I'll give you a hand with his feet with my head!"
Sonic snickered. 'And that's you're called-"
Knuckles cracked his 'knuckles', and gave Sonic a 'I dare you to finish at sentence' look.
The blue blur shut his mouth.
Knuckles tried to do a headbutt on the monster, but that do anything, but it did cause the echidna to feel dizzy. Knuckles stumbled a little, muttering. "Yes, Grandma, I will have another gingersnap."
Carol burst out laughing. "O-oh man! That's just hilarious!"
Knuckles scoffed.
The wildcat punched the red echidna on the arms playfully. "C'mon! You have to at least enjoy it!"
"Whatever."
Carol's laughter died down, but she continued to snicker and put an arm around him. "You're such a buzzkill."
Rouge furrowed her eyebrows at the scene. "What's this feeling?"
The monster headed its way towards the village, with Sonic zooming beside him. The monster kicks a boulder and sends it sailing towards Fastidious Beaver, who is hauling a crate of lemon.
"I hope that boulder crushes him." Eggman really wishes he didn't have to see this beaver all the time. Seriously. What was the point?
Sonic zoom towards him, getting the beaver safely out of the way.
"Damn."
"Language."
"Mind your own business, dragon girl."
The boulder crushes the cart of lemons, squeezing lemon juice everywhere. Some of it even made it into the bucket.
Sonic chuckled. "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade."
"But, I already had the lemons, Charmy." Fastidious said.
"Sonic! Knuckles! What's going on?!" Sticks cried, running up to them along with Amy.
Sonic points behind him. "A giant rock monster is laying waste to the countryside."
"He says it's like it's no big deal." Torque said.
"Which it isn't." Sonic stated.
Lilac glanced at Amy. "Are all your battles like this."
"Sort of."
"You mean, a Granier Giganticus is laying waste to the countryside." Amy corrected.
Shadow rolled his eyes. "Thanks for the science tour, Captain Obvious."
"Yeah, thanks for clearing that away." Sonic said.
"For once, I agree with faker's twin."
The Granier Giganticus moans, picking up a tree off the ground, throwing it at Sonic and the others. Thankfully, they got out of way in time, it lands high-side-up, and a bunch of lemons falls on Fastidious.
"As previously noted, I already had the lemons." The beaver sighed, glancing at the tree.
". . .Why is he here again?" Spade questioned.
Everyone else seemed to think the same thing.
Sonic turns to see Tails' plane falling towards the ground. It crashes and smokes comes out. Tails sighs in relief. But then, it falls to pieces and stops smoking.
Tails turns to Sonic. "Don't worry. It's covered by the manufacturer's warranty!"
Milla glances at Tails confusedly. "Aren't you a manufacturer, Tails?"
Tails nodded. "of course I am, Milla. I don't understand why he would ask that?"
"But you're the manufacturer." Sonic pointed out.
"Exactly."
"I knew I should've given myself a receipt!" Tails grunted, slamming his fists on his plane.
"Um guys, rock monster?!" Amy frowned, pointing at the monster ahead of them.
"Oh, right." Sonic nodded. "What do you know about that thing, Amy?"
"Granier Giganticus is a proud race of mountain dwellers from the time of the Ancients. No one has seen one in hundreds of years." The pinkette explained.
"Wow." Amy was astonished by her twin. "I didn't know I was so smart!" She gasped. "I may be as smart as, Tails!"
"Umm, Amy, that might take some-"
Amy points her finger at Tails with a determined look on her face. "I challenge you to a pop quiz!"
Tails looked unsure if he should answer that. He looked at Theo and Lucy with a pleading look.
Theo decided to help the kit out. "Uh, Amy, maybe you should wait until break."
The pinkette slumped her shoulders in disappointment. "Aww, but I wanted to beat, Tails, in a duel."
"I know, but maybe you should wait for the time being."
"That's not true." Knuckles said. "I just saw one."
"But-"
"Don't question it, Tails!"
The rock monster sat own on a house but ended up crushing it with its weight.
"He's ignoring the 'you break it, you bought it sigh." Tails gasped. "He really is a monster!"
Most of the audience was completely dumbfounded. "Seriously??"
The scene cuts to Eggman - The human sighs. - who is watching the event unfold on his monitor screen. "Egad! There's a pitiless monster spreading destruction and horror across the land!" "Sounds like your kind of people." Cubot said. "You have no idea." Eggman said, sarcastically. "Oh, I'm a huge fan of his work. I must make him my minion; he could destroy entire cities!" He looks at the viewer. "And clean my rain gutters; they're hard to reach. Sonic frowned at Eggman. "Don't steal my thing, Eggface." Eggman looked genuinely confused. "Steal what thing?" He turns to Orbot and Cubot and stands up. "Cubot, Orbot, go capture him!" "They're dead." Spade said plainly. "Why us?" Orbot asked. "There's no way we could catch that behemoth. "Well, not with a negative attitude like that. Now get moving!" He starts walking in place like a military soldier, while Orbot and Cubot float away Left, right, left, right!Orbot: "He always says "left, right", yet we have no legs." Orbot said. "That's hurtful."
Amy winced. "I feel bad for those two."
Tails nodded. "Whether they're Eggman's robot's or not, no one deserves that."
Cream sighed sadly. "Like, Emerl."
Back at the village, the Granifer Giganticus is still sitting down.
"So horrible." Amy sighed. "They were supposed to reupholster my loveseat."
Lilac raised a brow. "She's seriously worried about a loveseat?"
Tails studied the monster for a bit before realizing something. "Hey! He's doing what my neighbor's uncle Tannous does when he has insomnia; he can never get comfortable, so he's always fluffing his pillow."
The group watches as the rock monster groans, knocking off the road of a house.
"Umm, maybe you guys should stop the monster, before it destroys your town?!" Carol suggested.
"Why are they just standing there listening to, Tails, when they could just fight the monster?!" Cory asked, slightly annoyed.
"That's because they're idiots." Gong retorted.
"Like that!" Tails said. "My neighbor's Uncle Tannous's next move is to get a drink of water!"
On cue, the monster broke apart a well, and a fountain of water sprouted into the monster's mouth as he took a drink."
"Like that!" Tails said.
"Yes, we know!" Knuckles shouted. "The monster does whoever this Uncle Tannous character is, does! Just stop the monster!"
Shadow facepalm. "Jeez, this is stressful."
The monster yawned, releasing some ducks.
"My neighbor's Uncle Tannous doesn't yawned ducks." Tails said.
The Granifer Giganticus begins to walk out of the village, yawning and stretching his arms as he goes.
"Hey he isn't rampaging!" Sonic said in realization. "You know what he's doing?!"
"Ravaging? Devastating? Marauding? Obliterating?" Sticks asked. "Flinging or scattering to the wings?" She pulls out a book. "Found a thesaurus in a cranberry bog.
"Someone helps this girl." Everyone thought in unison.
"He's trying to get comfortable." Sonic pointed out. "He can't sleep!"
Sticks flipped through the thesaurus. "Slumber, repose, forty winks..." Sticks smiled as she held up a cranberry!" She smiled, popping it in her mouth.
"Okay, that's just gross." Amy groused.
"I agree." Neera said.
"Huh, they're not trying to kill each other... this time." Theo thought.
"We've gotta go help him get back to sleep." Sonic said.
"Agreed." Amy nodded.
Sonic, Tails, Amy, Sticks, and Knuckles are following the Granifer Giganticus through the canyons. He soon reaches a massive boulder and sits down on it, and Sonic and his friends stop.
"I'm no giant-rock-monsterologist, but our guy looks overtired." Sonic pointed out.
Shadow rolled his eyes, again. "No duh. You and your brain-dead knuckle friend woke it up."
"Why is Tails, Amy, Knuckles and Sticks a part of all of this?" Rouge asked. "Sonic's the one who needs to fix this situation."
Sonic was taken back. "Me?! Why me?! ...Specifically! "
"You're the one who dragged Knuckles into that lame game of yours and caused the monster to wake up."
"But Knuckles was enjoying though?"
Knuckles smirked. "I'm gonna have to agree with, Rouge on this one."
"What?!" Sonic looked at Tails and Amy. "Amy! Tails! Be honest, was I, specifically, at fault here?"
They both shrugged.
"Really guys?!"
Amy smiled. "Nothing brings on sleep like a dose of melody sung by a sweet songbird." A songbird flies up and begins chirping sweetly, but Amy does not look pleased. "Not you, me!"
The bird flew away, shrieking.
Silver flinched. "Jeez, Amy!"
"Wait," Blaze began, "In order to put that rock monster to sleep, they have to... sing to it?"
Eggman widened his eyes in horror. "Oh no. Please no. Anything but that!"
Shadow's left eye twitches in annoyance. "No. Singing."
Knuckles gave a groan. "Amy, please don't sing."
The pinkette became irritated. "I'll have you know I have the most beautiful sing voice in the whole wide world!" She looked at Sonic with a cute smile. "Isn't that right, my darling?"
The blue blur nodded, nervously, not wanting to get hammered to the face.
Amy squealed and hugged Sonic with all her might. The speedster could only just sigh, knowing he won't be able to break away.
Neera sighs. "Singing doesn't solve anything."
Amy pouted, as she let go of Sonic, much to the latter's relief, frowning at the panda. "We'll see about that. I'm sure my sing voice is lovely."
Amy cleared her throat and started singing, "Hush little Granifer Giganticus, don't say a word! Amy's gonna buy you a mockingbird!"
The Granifer Giganticus holds its ears and roars painfully. It then gets up and runs away.
The audience also covered their ears in pain.
Amy's singing voice wasn't that... lovely.
Neera, still covering her ears, gave Amy a pointed look. "As you were saying?"
Amy couldn't help but agree. Her twin's sing voice wasn't that good. At all.
Charmy flinched. "That's worse then Vector's music."
The crocodile glared at the bee. "HEY! My music's beautiful!"
Amy stopped singing and crossed her arms, frowning. "He's made out of rocks. What does he know?"
"Know enough that your voice isn't all that good." Cory mumbled.
Sticks cleared-
Knuckles widened his eyes. "Wait, is she-"
-and started singing. Horribly.
The audience flinched at the horrifying song and covered their ears once more.
"The agony!"
"So much pain!"
"It hurts!"
"Make it stop!"
"Will someone shut her up?!"
"I can't take it anymore!"
"End my life now!"
Everyone looks horrified and covers their ears painfully. "That's not a lullaby; that's what happens when I drop bagpipes into a woodchipper." Knuckles grumbles. "Yeah, but it's working! He's falling asleep!" Sonic pointed at the monster. The Granifer Giganticus was indeed laying down in the middle of the canyon path; Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, Sticks, and Amy run up a nearby rock cliff, and on the other side, they see villagers with carts of produce stuck. Knuckles frowned. "That road is the delivery route for all the deli products that come into the village. If the monster sleeps for a thousand years, how are we gonna get potato salad?!" "You know what?" Sonic asked. "Giant rock monsters are a pain in the butt. Sticks, keep singing--or, whatever it is you're doing." "Please don't." Carol begged. "That was not fun." Charmy grumbled. Tails rubbed his ears. "I feel like my ears were about to burst." Sticks jumps onto Sonic's back and begins singing again; Sonic runs off, carrying her with him, and the Granifer Giganticus stands up and follows them. Amy, Tails, and Knuckles follow them as well. Amy frowned as she ran. "Worst parade ever." "Worst singing voice ever." Spade retorted. Sonic runs to a clearing away from the deli route, and the Granifer Giganticus moans, leans against the cliff wall, and sits down. Sticks gets off Sonic's back and stops singing. Sonic smiled. "It's working! Sleep, my large, rocky friend, and dream of larger, gravely girl monsters. "Ignoring that, finally, it's over." Knuckles said relief.
Carol shook her head, snickering. "You just jinx yourself buddy."
The red echidna blinked. "Huh? What do you mean?"
Eggman suddenly appears above them in his Eggmobile. "Oh."
"Release the Beebots!" Eggman ordered. Orbot, who was wearing a hat and scarf, glanced at him. "After you turn your seat and table to an upright position." Eggman glared at Orbot, and the red robot quickly pressed the button. The beebots swarmed around the rock monster in an instant, surrounding him in a net. Irritated, the monster snarled, breaking free of the net. Eggman growled at him. "Hey! That was a very expensive honeycomb cage! If you and I are going to subjugate the world for a thousand generations, I need to see a better attitude from you." "And if you're going to become the world's evil genius, I suggest you become more evil!" Eggman exclaimed. Sonic chuckled. "Calm down, Egghead." "You don't tell me what to do, rodent!"
"Give it up, Egg-Stain;" Sonic snarled.
"Egg-Stain? Huh, that's new." "Don't get any ideas you, blue monkey." "We're not letting you capture Rocky." Shadow deadpanned. "You gave the monster a name?" The speedster shrugged. Sonic launches himself at the Bee Bots in a Spin Dash, Knuckles grabs a large stick and swats at the Bee Bots, and Amy smacks them with her hammer. "Hey, Bee Bots, follow me!" The Bee Bots all chase after Sonic, and he runs round and round up a peak; once he reaches the top, he catapults himself up towards Eggman, but he misses. However, the Bee Bots can't stop in time, and they crash into Eggman, sending him flipping backwards. Orbot glances at Eggman. "Might be time to turn on the "fasten seat-belt" sign and head back to the lair. Eggman and all the Bee Bots retreat. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy stare up at the sky, smiling. "Good riddance." The doctor grumbled. "Okay, Eggman's gone. Sticks, you can start singing again." Sonic said. "Not again." The audience grumbled as they prepared themselves for another sound of pain, covering their ears. Sonic and his friends cover their ears, but nothing happens. The audience caught a glance at this and were confused.
"Umm, where did, Sticks go?" Torque asked. Sonic, Tails, Amy and Knuckles look to the side, and there's no sign of Sticks or the Granifer Giganticus; all that's there is what appears to be an unusually shaped rock. "The monster took Sticks." Tails said. "Thank god." Spade said. Lilac furrowed her eyes at him. "Really, Spade?" The panda only shrugged in response. "Then let's go get her." Sonic declared as he and the others ran off to find Sticks. Knuckles groaned. "Do they have to? I mean, she's their friend and all, but she's just flipping crazy." Sonic patted the echidna on the shoulders. "Oh c'mon, Knux. Don't be like that. We would've saved ya even if you were a psychopathic freak with no brains." ". . .Gee, thanks for that, Sonic." "You're welcome." They all run off, but as they do, the unusually shaped rock expands and changes color, revealing itself as the Granifer Giganticus. He stands up and begins to walk. He also is holding Sticks in his hand.
"There she is." Milla points to the screen.
"What's he gonna do to her?" Tails asked, worried about Sticks. Crazy or not, he didn't want to the badger to get hurt.
"He's gonna make her sing to him." Shadow answered.
Sonic scratched his head, confusedly. "Why doesn't he just go to sleep on his own."
Amy crossed her arms and gave the blue blur a pointed look. "It's because you and Knuckles' twins woke it up. He was probably in hibernation, hence why he can't go back to sleep."
"...Oh, right."
"I still think, Sonic, is still at fault here."
"Not helping, Rouge."
Sticks gave an impressed smile. "Wow, that was good camouflage; you gotta teach me to do that. "
The Granifer Giganticus carries her to a peak, and he begins to climb it, still holding Sticks.
Sticks then frowned. "Not gonna teach me, huh? Fine! Then I'm not gonna teach you how to use gelatin to keep monkeys from swarming into your fireplace!"
The audience just gave the badger a weird look not saying anything. Back at Tails' workshop, Sonic runs in. "I searched all the mountains and canyons; no trace of Sticks."
"I scoured the coastline; bupkus." Tails informed.
"I searched the jungle; zilch." Amy frowned.
Knuckles smiles and rubs his tummy. "I just finished lunch; nice, fresh potato salad." "Knuckles, we can't find Sticks!" Amy glared at the echidna. "We've searched everywhere!"
Knuckles scratches his chin. "Not everywhere..." He picks up a flower pot and observes the spot, but Sticks could not possibly be hiding under it, and as a result, he doesn't find her. "Okay, now we've searched everywhere." He tosses the flower pot, and it shatters. "Braindead idiot." Knuckles mumbled. Suddenly, an alarm rings.
"That's my Disasterometer!" Tails said, running up to it.
Knuckles glanced at the kit, curious. "Disasterometer"? What does it do?"
"What do you think something called a "Disasterometer" does?"
Knuckles smiles. "Detects and stores the sound signatures of typhoons, earthquakes, and other disasters? Either that, or it makes snow cones."
The Disasterometer begins detecting Sticks' caterwauling, and Amy, Sonic, and Knuckles cover their ears as it plays.
"That's horrible! What could be causing it?" Sonic asked.
Spade rolled his eyes. "You literally just heard it not too long ago."
The scene changes to Sticks is still singing her horrid song to the Granifer Giganticus, but it roars right in her face.
Sticks chokes for a bit and then glares at the rock monster. "I can't sing forever; I'll ruin my voice."
"Hey, that's Sticks!" Tails exclaimed.
Sonic frowned. "The rock monster still has her. Can that tell us where she is?"
Tails nodded. "Yeah, I can triangulate her location and get a topographic visual representation." Tails turns a knob, and the Disasterometer prints out a map.
Knuckles smiled. "And somebody mentioned something about snow cones.
Sonic looks at the map. "That peak is a mile high, and Tails' plane is out of commission." "We've got to find another way!" Amy declared.
"But how?" Milla asked.
"I had to open my yap." Amy grumbled.
Amy, Tails, and Knuckles are all tied to parachutes, and just like earlier, the other ends of the ropes are tied to Sonic, and as he runs, he pulls them along through the sky. But Amy feels altitude sick because of the mode of transportation.
"Does this thing come with a barf bag?" Amy yelled.
Tails points ahead. "There's Sticks!"
The Granifer Giganticus is sitting on the peak, still holding Sticks as she sings. As Sonic sprints up to them, Amy and Knuckles grab Sticks together and take her away. "Concert's over, Rocky." Knuckles said. "You can buy a t-shirt in the lobby." The Granifer Giganticus reaches up and tries to grab Sticks again, but she and her friends slip out of his reach, and he roars furiously. The draft from his roar is so powerful, it blows Amy, Sticks, Knuckles, and Tails even further away. Amy, still feeling queasy, frowns. "New fun fact about Granifer Giganticus: their breath smells like dead jellyfish." "And your singing sounds like a screeching cat." Eggman insulted. The Granifer Giganticus slides down the peak and chases after Sticks. "Now what are we gonna do with him?" Knuckles frowned. "No worries, guys," Sonic smirked, still running, "I got a plan."
Shadow rolled his eyes. "This should be good."
The scene changes to Eggman outside, trimming one of many bushes that resemble him while Orbot and Cubot watch.
"This is good." "Hey boss, who's your leafy lady friend?" Cubot asked. "Stop flopping your hinges!" Eggman growled at them. "Since you two botched the capture of the rock monster, I need the peace and quiet of my meditation garden to calm my nerves." "Eggman, you have a-" "No!" "May I say, sir; it's working like a charm." Orbot nods. Suddenly, Sonic dashes by, and when he passes the bush, all the leaves blow off. Cubot sighed. "Ugh, he'll want us to put the leaves back on. I'll go get the glue gun." Suddenly, the Granifer Giganticus walks up, and he steps on another one of the bushes. "Hey, do you mind? Don't stomp on the topiary!" Eggman snapped. Next, the Granifer Giganticus picks up a gazebo and tosses it to the side, smashing it to pieces. Eggman sighed. "Okay, I thought "Don't stomp on the topiary" also implied, "Don't drop a gazebo on it"." Granifer Giganticus roars "We can't just stand here and watch Eggman's place get trashed." Sonic said. "Uhh, weren't you the one who took the monster there in the first place?" Cory questioned. Carols facepalmed. "He needs to make up his mind." Sonic eagerly nodded. "Yeah! Don't feel any sympathy for, Eggface!" "As if I needed any sympathy. Especially from you, rodent." Knuckles sighs. "You're right. He sits down and watches." Rouge could help but giggle.
Carol snickered. "That's just cold!" Tails runs up to them. "Good news, the Disasterometer recorded Sticks' singing, and I've put it on an endless loop." Milla smiled happily. "That's great, Tails." "That is good news." Amy said, sarcastically. Milla frowned. "What's up with her??" Tails presses a button, and the recording of Sticks' singing begins. The Granifer Giganticus yawns and lies down on Eggman's topiary. Sonic winced. "Oh, sorry about the flowers, Eggie."
"Don't apologize to him!" Sonic yelled.
"Yeah! It's weird and creepy!"
Sonic looked at her. "I understand creepy, but weird?"
"Eggman's a villain, and you're a hero. If you apologize to him, feeling sorry for something that you did, it's creepy!" Amy told him. "...Good point." Eggman was annoyed with Sticks so-called singing. "How long must I endure this?!"
"You could always end yourself." Knuckles suggested.
Sonic gave Knuckles a shocked look. "Woah, Knux. Isn't that a little dark?"
The red echidna raised a brow. "And you're complaining?"
"Well, I mean, he's a villain for sure, but that doesn't mean he deserves death." Sonic stated.
Shadow scoffed.
"Shadow, don't..." Amy furrowed her eyebrows at him.
Shadow glared. "I didn't even say anything, so don't start." "It takes Granifer Giganticus about a year to fall completely asleep. But we could always turn it up."
"No, no; that won't be necessary." Eggman said.
"Come on, guys; saddle up." Sonic said.
Sonic runs across the ocean, pulling each of his friends on their parachutes behind him, away from Eggman's lair.
Eggman sighs. "Ah well, maybe I can make a fountain out of his nose, a coy pond in his belly button. Cubot! Orbot! Bring me potting soil; evil potting soil..."
"Does he have to say 'evil' all the time?" Eggman pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. "Whatever, at least the show's over."
"Thank god?" Spade said.
Shadow looked at him. "Thank god that the show's over or thank god you have to listen to that badgers annoyingly so-called singing voice?"
"Both."
"I thought so."
Theo laughed and played the next episode.
