One Cookie over the City

Script
[The episode begins with TV waking up.] TV: [yawns, and to the viewers] "Ooh, the sweet sound of silence. That never happens on a Saturday. I must be the first one up." [notices the time] "Wait a minute! 10:00 AM? How could it be this quiet this late?" ''[He opens the door as he puts his clothes on. He notices the upstairs hallway is all wrecked.]'' TV: "Uh, hello?" [Suddenly, a strange noise is heard coming from Knuckles and Eggman's room.] "Hey guys!" ''[The twins come out of their room as they look like cookies, and they look like zombies. TV laughs nervously and walks back to Sonic.]'' "Oof! Sonic, I think something's wrong with the..." ''[Sonic looks like a cookie and there were flies around her. TV screams. There is a cookie Tennis Ball as well. He tries to back away and tries to open Basketball and Silver's bedroom door. Basketball opens the door, and she pulls TV inside as he screams, with Lollipop and Taco holding him.]'' "What the?" Lollipop: "He looks okay, but we better check him." Tails: [checks him with a temperature scanner] "986 degrees? He's good. Let him go." TV: "Will someone please tell me what the heck is going on?!" Basketball: "Haven't you heard? This morning our house became infested with an acute, febrile, contagious cookie. Or, as it's known on the street," [suspenseful music plays] "The cookie." TV: [to the viewers] "With 13 Objects packed into 1200 square feet, when someone turns into a cookie zombie, it spreads like the plague. We're not just talking cookie, we're talking...a zombie apocalypse!!" Basketball: "The first cookie sighting was in Sonic's room." [An old time movie reel complete with countdown starts with Shadow checking Sonic's temperature with the scanner.] Shadow: "You have got a fever, young lady. You need to get right back in bed." ''[Sonic nosebleeds rainbows and her mucus gets all over Tennis Ball's basketball. Tennis Ball picks it up, spins it on her fingers, gets Sonic's rainbows on her, nosebleeds rainbows, and catches the cookie. As she groans, she goes down to the kitchen and drinks orange juice straight from the carton.]'' Eggman: "Morning." ''[Eggman pours a glass of covered juice into a glass, drinks it as it contains Tennis Ball's rainbow cookie screaming as it goes down her throat, and burps. This causes her to turn into a cookie zombie and drink the rest from the carton.]'' Knuckles: "MOM! EGGMAN'S DRINKING FROM THE CARTON!" [Eggman spits on her] "AND NOW SHE'S SPITING ON MEeeeeee..." [turns into a cookie zombie too and moans] [End flashback] Basketball: "Okay, the only survivors are you, me, Tails, Taco, Lollipop, and Golf Ball." [The group is shown altogether.] TV: [panicking] "Wait! Golf Ball's covered!" Golf Ball: "Incorrect. I always look like this." Basketball: "If we wanna live to see another day, I suggest we initiate escape protocol ASAP." TV: "I'm on it." [gets his radio and calls Remote] "Healthy Object to Safe Haven. We've got a level four outbreak." [Remote spits out his cereal.] Remote: "The cookie?! TV, give it to me straight. Did Sonic make it?" TV: [sighs] "Negative..." Remote: [gasps and laments] "WHY?! WHY?! WHY???!!!" [calming down] "Sorry. I know we can't afford the luxury of grief right now." [focusing] "I'll have everything ready. Cot, medical supplies, and my patented heal meals. How many survivors?" TV: "Six." [Taco nosebleeds rainbows] "Make that five." Taco: "Guys, no! It's rainbow what you think!" [laughs and then turns into a cookie and groans.] Basketball: "She's covered! Get her out!" [They shove the covered Taco out the door on a play shopping cart.] Tails: "Guys, don't you think we should take care of the cookies? After all, they're still our family." Lollipop: "No, dude. It's too late for them, but not for us." TV: "Everyone, out of the house! Let's move." Basketball: "Wait! We can't just go out there with our proverbial keisters hanging out." [presses a button that opens up her and Silver's closet equipped with water guns, grabs one, and fills it with some kind of substance.] "In case we're attacked, this concoction will slow down the covered." [blasts TV] TV: [tasting the concoction] "Tastes like chicken soup." Basketball: "That's because it is chicken soup." [hands gun to him] ''[Golf Ball, Basketball, and Lollipop each grab one of the remaining guns. Basketball gets more soup and puts on a headband. The remaining five are ready to take the fight.]'' Tails: "Um...I don't know if this is-" Basketball: "LOCK AND LOAD, PEOPLE!" [her siblings follow suit]

[TV looks around and gives the clear signal and they move into the hall.] TV: "Look sharp. They can be anywhere." ''[They move onward and Lollipop signals them to stop. Taco's unicycle comes rolling out of her room and onto the floor. Just then, TV spots something.]'' TV: "Lollipop! Three o'clock!" [The covered Taco is coming toward them and Lollipop shoots some chicken soup into her mouth, causing Taco to fall over.] TV: "Basketball! Six o'clock!" [The covered Knuckles is approaching in her car.] Basketball: "EAT HOT SOUP!" [shoots it in Knuckles's mouth, causing her to crash while distracted by the taste.] TV: [notices another one] "Tails! Nine o'clock!" Tails: "TV, make up your mind. What time is it?" [Unbeknownst to her, the contagious Sonic approaches her.] TV: "No, behind you!" Tails: [gasps at the sight of Sonic and pulls out a tissue.] "Want a tissue?" [TV rams Sonic back into her room.] Tails: "TV, where is your heart?" TV: "Where is your brain? We're trying to stay alive here!" [The Taco and Knuckles zombies trap Lollipop.] Lollipop: [panicking] "Dudes! Help!" ''[TV lets out a cry to battle and blasts Taco and Knuckles who spit all over Lollipop before being hit by the soup. It turns out TV was too late to save Lollipop, for she has become covered.]'' TV: "EVACUATE!" ''[The remaining four head for the stairs, but Eggman is coming for them. The Taco and Knuckles zombies get right back up now accompanied by Lollipop and the Tennis Ball zombie is also coming from the other side, trapping the survivors.]'' TV: "Think, Object. You've seen a million zombie movies. Wait. I've got it." [suddenly starts doing a zombie impression.] Golf Ball: "Whoa. TV's one of them now." Basketball: "In that case..." [cocks gun] TV: "Hold your fire! I'm just trying to blend in. Come on. It's our ticket to freedom." [The others follow suit and they escape toward the stairs.] Tails: "Aw...they sound so familiar. Do you guys need a spit drop?" [gets out a bag of them] [The other three grab her and they all get down the stairs.] TV: "Tails, you're putting the squad in jeopardy and I won't have it! Wait. Where's Golf Ball?" [turns to see the twins and Sonic munching on something, thinking the worst has happened to Golf Ball.] "Dang it! We lost another one. She was so young." [gets out the radio] "Healthy Object to Safe Haven. We're down to three survivors." Remote: "Sorry to hear it, Healthy Object. Everything's set on this end. Quick question for the heal meals. Does everyone eat guacamole?" [mixing a bowl of the stuff] TV: "Affirmative. And hey, Safe Haven, thanks." [signs off] "We're tasting freedom in three, two-" [As he opens the door, he discovers that now Hime, Megumi, Yuko, and Iona are covered as well.] TV: "AAAHH! THE COOKIE HAS JUMPED SPECIES!" [shuts the door] Basketball: "We can still escape through the back door!" [Basketball and TV head for it.] Tails: "But, TV-" TV: "Once we're out the door, keep a tight formation." [They stop and gasp to see Tennis Ball and Knuckles coming right for them.] TV: "Reroute! Reroute!" [They escape] Basketball: "To the parental dwelling!" [beat from TV and Tails not knowing what she meant.] "Mom and Dad's room." [They run as the other zombies approach them.] TV: "Move! Move!" [Basketball and Tails run into the room and TV shuts the door the moment he's in.] TV: "Dad, the house is covered. We need to get out through your window." ''[However, the silhouette of Blaze slowly turns his head around and shows green eyes just like the others, meaning he's one of them now. Tails and Basketball gasp.]'' TV: "We've got a hostile!" [As they try to escape, they find Shadow come into the room as she has come down with the cookie as well.] Tails: "Aw. Mom doesn't feel well. She just needs a hug." TV: "Tails! Stand down!" [aims his gun] "Mom, I hate to do this, but-" [tries to fire only to get the nozzle clogged.] "Agh! Noodle jam! Why did you have to use chunky style?" Basketball: "It's heartier!" [Just then, Golf Ball opens the door and hits Shadow.] TV: "AAAHH!! Golf Ball's covered!" Golf Ball: "Again, this is just how I look. And you're welcome for the rescue." ''[Blaze gets up and limps toward the now four survivors. The survivors barricade the door by tying a jumprope between the doorknob and the sofa leg.]'' TV "That should hold 'em." [More of the sister zombies come out again.] Tails: "Aw. Poor guys. They need a tissue." [gets the tissue box] TV: "Good idea." [takes the box and tosses it to the side.] [Sonic, Knuckles, Taco and Tennis Ball turn to the tissues and go for them.] Tails "TV, you could have just handed it to them." TV: "Fall out!" Tails: "But what about our-" ''[TV grabs Tails and they head for the backdoor in the kitchen. Just then, Remote contacts TV.]'' Remote "Healthy Object, come in!" TV: "Safe Haven, this is Healthy Object. We are just about out the door and heading to your location." Remote: "That's why I'm calling. I'm afraid there's a bit of a crisis here." TV: "What's that, Remote? Go again!" Remote "I said---health issues---possible casualties---unless---" [Remote's breaking up and the radio dies out.] TV: "Unless what? Remote!" [fails to get a signal] "Dang it, the walkie's dead! We can't leave without knowing if Safe Haven is truly safe!" Basketball: "I have batteries in my room." TV: "Looks like we're going up. Object, you take point!" [Beat] Golf Ball: "We're all Object." TV: [scowling] "Fine. Just follow me." [They head upstairs to Basketball and Silver's room where Basketball checks her drawers for batteries.] Basketball: "Let's see...graduated cylinder, uh, test tube, enriched uranium, here we are. Two fresh AA's. [They hear the moaning of one Object they have yet to have encountered with the disease.] TV: [through clenched teeth] "Don't make any sudden movements." [It's revealed to be Silver, giggling happily. She nosebleeds rainbows.] Tails: [sympathetically] "Aww. Poor baby." [A green bubble made of Silver's rainbow inflates from her nostril. She nosebleeds rainbows and causes the bubble to fly toward the survivors.] TV: "Incoming! Hit the deck!" [He and his three other sisters duck, as the green bubble goes out the window. He then prepares to take aim.] "Forgive me, Silver!" Tails: [intervenes] "NO!" TV: [irritated] "What is wrong with you?!" Tails: "Our family may be turning into rainbows, but you are turning into a monster!" TV: "I'm trying to save us! And I'm tired of you acting like Mother Teresa!" Tails: "Shows what you know. Our mother's name is Shadow!" [As the two argue, Basketball goes to the closet, gets one of Silver's bottles, and fills it with soup.] Basketball: "SOUP IN THE HOLE!" [throws the bottle] [Silver crawls over to it and drinks up the soup.] Basketball: "If you two ninnies are done bickering, I'd like to go taste that guacamole." [As they continue to head out, TV puts the batteries into his walkie talkie.] TV: "Safe Haven, we're back in. What is this crisis you were talking about?" Remote: "I made a mustard for the Sante Fe eggnog. But then, I realized someone might have a food allergy." TV: [frustrated] "That's the crisis?! We're fighting for our lives, Remote! No one has a food allergy!" Remote: "That's a relief, 'cause this sauce really ties the dish together. Safe Haven out." TV: [signs off] "Roll out!" [TV checks downstairs and shows that it's clear. They get to the kitchen and the back door.] TV: "We'll be tasting freedom in three, two-" Tails: "Hey! The bubble's back!" [The bubble has found its way back into the house and hits Golf Ball dead center.] Golf Ball: "Okay, now I'm like cookies. See the difference?" TV & Basketball [unable to] "No..." [Golf Ball nosebleeds rainbows and gets her rainbows on the doorknob.] TV: "Agh! Now the doorknob's covered!" Basketball: "Uh...don't panic. I'm sure we'll find a way out of this." [Golf Ball nosebleeds rainbows on her] "Dang it." [The now zombified Basketball and Golf Ball come toward TV who flees.] TV: "Tails! Help me with the table!" Tails: "Are you finally gonna be nice and make them a meal?" TV: "Not exactly." [They push the table over, blocking the doorway between the kitchen and the dining room. The zombies try to get through.] TV: "This doesn't look good, Tails. There's no way out of this house." Tails: "Too bad we're not dogs. Then we could use Hime's door." TV: "That's it!" Tails: "You go. I'm gonna stay here and take care of the cookies." TV: "Don't be a fool. They're gone. We have to start a new world without them. They'd want it that way." Tails: "I can't. But don't worry about me. If I wear a mask and I'm careful, I'll be okay." TV: "I may not always agree with you, Object, but I respect you." [salutes his sister] "Good luck." [Tails salutes back. As TV heads for Hime's door, Tails looks for a good surgical mask to protect her and pulls out a plaid one.] Tails: "Nah. Too blah." [As she searches for the right mask, the zombies push the table out of the way and get in. She pulls out a pink one with hearts.] Tails: "Too flashy." [pulls out one that looks like her dress.] "Ooh! Perfect! Goes with my outfit." [Lollipop is right behind Tails while TV notices.] TV: "Tails! DUCK!" [Lollipop nosebleeds rainbows and her mucus flies toward Tails.] Tails: "A duck? Where? Is it like cookies?" TV: [dives in front of Tails in slow motion.] "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" [takes Lollipop's rainbow and hits the floor.] Tails: "TV, you saved me. Why?" TV: "'Cause you've got a good heart. And you deserve to survive more than I do." [nosebleeds rainbows on Tails] "Dang it." [Tails and TV rise up now having become just like the rest of their family: rainbow-like zombies. Thus, the entire City has been covered.]

[Later, Remote comes over in a hazmat suit.] Remote: [to the viewers] "Well, the escape mission was a bust, but just because the Objects are covered doesn't mean that they're not human. Plus, I'd hate to see all this good food go to waste." [puts on his helmet and brings them the eggnog.] "Who wants eggnog?" [The Objects each grab an eggnog and start feasting on them like the living dead.] Remote: "Don't forget the mustard. It's to die for. Oops!" [chuckles nervously] "Poor choice of words."
