Third Person's POV

We start in the unnamed village as Soar is giving the news, with Sonic, Brody, Tails, Turbo, Knuckles, Ralph, Sticks, Old Monkey, Fastidious and Wild Cat watching "Breaking news! An epidemic is sweeping across the globe. Beaver Fever!" Soar said and everyone steps away from Fastidious Beaver "I'm not talking about an actual disease, of course. I'm colourfully describing the mania surrounding teen singing sensation..." Soar said and the screen shows a stylized image of Justin Beaver "Justin Beaver" Soar said "Girls everywhere are going gaga over this teen heartthrob. They just can't get enough of him" He said "And suddenly, "Dad the Anchorbird" isn't cool anymore. Well, maybe Justin Beaver will foot the bill for private school instead of buying those golf clubs he really wanted!" He said "Just what the world needs. Another cookie-cutter pop star force-fed to us by the man!" Sticks said "You're right. This "Beaver Fever" thing is clearly just a marketing ploy to sell sub-standard music to gullible teenage girls. Who could possibly fall for it?" Brody asks and Amy suddenly runs up, wearing and holding a lot of Justin Beaver merchandise "Isn't Justin great?! When I listened to his first song, Girl, I Like You, I wasn't sure if Justin was actually talking about me. But then his next song was titled Yes, I'm Actually Talking About You, and I, like, totally freaked out!" Amy said "How can you allow yourself to become a pawn of the corporate fat cats?" Sticks asks "Before you judge, just listen to one track. I don't want to overhype it... BUT HE'S THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER WHO EVER LIVED!" Amy said.

*Later at Amy's House*

Team Sonic is listening to one of Justin Beaver's songs. Amy is absolutely giddy. Sonic, Brody, Turbo, Tails, Ralph and Knuckles are not impressed "Girl, now it's time I told you about my serious condition. I can't stop thinking about you, have to call a physician" Justin said and Sonic finally reaches over and turns the radio off "Ugh... that was terrible!" Sonic said "I finally have a soundtrack for my nightmares!" Knuckles said "I... love it!" Sticks said "I knew I could rely on Sticks to be the voice of reason!" Amy said "We're through the looking glass here, people. White is black, and black is white" Turbo said "Wait until you hear the rest of the album!" Amy said still giddy and she and Sticks squeal like fangirls "Hey, Sticks. You still on for rock climbing tomorrow?" Brody asks "Uh, sure. Whatever" Sticks said and Amy and her start squealing again.

Later at Sticks' Burrow, "Hello? Sticks? You ready to go?" Sonic asks and Sticks' Burrow is covered with Justin Beaver merchandise "What happened in here?" Ralph asks "I turned my burrow into a totes adorbs tribute to Justin!" Sticks said "Oh... is that what's going on here?" Brody asks "Sticks! Sticks! Sticks! You are not gonna believe it. Justin Beaver is in town, and he's doing a signing at the music shop right now!" Amy said running in and she and Sticks squeal again "And he'll be performing in concert at Village Center this weekend!" Amy said and they squeal loudly, making Sonic, Brody, Turbo, Tails, Ralph and Knuckles cover their ears "You really need to stop doing that" Sonic said "What should we wear?" Sticks asks "I was thinking about wearing the one outfit that I own!" Amy said "Me too!" Sticks said and the two run out, squealing more "I can understand Amy fangirling out, but Sticks? There's something fishy about this "Beaver Fever." We need to investigate" Sonic said.

*Later at Unnamed Village Music Store*

A long line of girls are lined up at the music store. Sonic, Brody, Turbo, Tails, Ralph and Knuckles are standing a ways away. is about to introduce him "I hope you ladies are ready, because here he is! The boy who'd sweep you off your feet if he didn't have such tiny little arms, your favorite global pop phenomenon... Justin Beaver!" Dixon said and Justin walks out, and points and winks at the girls as they start screaming. He's soon seated and signing photographs. First in line is Zooey "You're the only fan I care about" Justin said as he signs a photo and hands it to Zooey and Zooey squeals and moves off. Next up is Perci "You're the only fan I care about" Justin said as he signs another photo and hands it to Perci and she giggles and walks off. Next is Lady Walrus "You're the only fan I care about" Justin said as he signs another photo and hands it to Lady Walrus "Be my baby!" Lady Walrus said and faints "Just step over her" Dixon said "We're not selling enough merch. Turn up the track!" He said to Wild Cat  and he turns up the Justin Beaver music "Yo, yo, my doc warned you are my cholesterol. But baby, I know you're the best of all" Justin said and the girls in line are sent into a buying frenzy. Sonic, Brody and the others are watching this "Whatever's going on, that guy's behind it" Brody said and he, Sonic, Tails, Turbo, Ralph and Knuckles approach, but are cut off by Salty "Music industry professionals only" Salty said "Don't worry. I got this" Knuckles said and pulls out a trumpet and starts playing it, but badly. Salty is unimpressed "How are we gonna convince this guy we're in the music biz?" Tails asks "I know just what to do..." Sonic said.

*Later at Sonic and Brody's shack*

"We'll form our very own boy band!" Sonic said "Did you really have to bring us all the way down here to finish that sentence?" Turbo asks "I know. But if we want to find out what's going on with the girls, we're going to have to man up" Sonic said "And by "man up," you mean rehearse a choreographed dance routine and matching sequined outfits?" Brody asks "Exactly! It's gonna take a lot of hard work, so we'd better get started" Sonic said. Later, Sonic, Brody, Turbo, Tails, Ralph and Knuckles are running through a dance routine in perfect sync while wearing matching sequined jackets and microphone headsets "That was way easier than I thought" Brody said "Now we just have to pick a name" Tails said and Sonic checks his watch "Well, we've still got a little montage time left" Sonic said.

Sonic and Brody throw away a piece of paper. The clock is seen spinning through the hours. Knuckles seems to have an idea, but loses it. Time is shown passing outside. Sonic throws away another piece of paper into the half-full trash can. Tails and Turbo are working on a formula on a chalkboard, but erase part of it. More time passes. Sonic throws another piece of paper into the now-overflowing trash can. Calendar pages rain down, seemingly showing months pass "Knuckles, stop tearing pages off that calendar!" Sonic said "Okay, fine!" Knuckles said "We're supposed to be thinking of band names!" Brody said "I was saving this name for if I ever formed a band, but how about... Dude-itude?" Knuckles asks "That's too awesome sounding. It needs to be something soft and inoffensive. Something like--" Sonic said "--Dreamboat Express?" Tails asks "Eww!" Sonic, Brody, Tails, Turbo, Knuckles and Ralph said "It's perfect!" Sonic said.

Later at Village Center, Sonic, Brody, Turbo, Tails, Ralph and Knuckles, in their sequined jackets, approach Salty "Music industry professionals only" Salty said "We are music industry professionals. We're Justin's opening act" Brody said and they go through their Dreamboat Express routine. Salty just shakes his head "I guess this is the end of Dreamboat Express" Knuckles said ""Dreamboat Express"? With a name like that, you've gotta be professionals" Salty said and opens the rope gate "Come on in" He said.

In the Backstage Area, Sonic, Brody, Turbo, Tails, Ralph and Knuckles peer out from behind a Justin Beaver standee "There he is. Now to find out his evil scheme" Sonic whispered "Your three o'clock got moved to six o'clock, your six o'clock got moved to four o'clock..." Wild Cat said "I guess it makes sense that he wouldn't conveniently reveal his evil scheme the exact moment we happen to be listening" Turbo whispers "Shifting gears completely, how's our evil scheme coming along?" Dixon asks "Lookin' good! Justin will debut his new single, which has fifty percent more mind control!" Wild Cat said "Perfect! Any female within a five mile radius will be turned into a mindless consumer zombie, and I'll be reaping the profits!" Dixon said and laughs evilly and Sonic, Brody, Turbo, Tails, Ralph and Knuckles duck back behind the standee "Mind control. That explains it" Brody said and they're suddenly revealed when two Fennec Garbage Men remove the standee "Intruders! Get them!" Dixon said and Sonic, Brody, Turbo, Tails, Ralph and Knuckles are chased off by Dixon and Wild Cat. Sonic and co. run back, followeed by Dixon and Wild Cat. The next crossing has the roles reversed, with Sonic and Co. chasing Dixon and Wild Cat. The next part has Sonic and Co. backing in from one side, and Dixon and Wild Cat from the other. When they bump into each other, both sides run off.

*Later at Amy's house*

""Mind control"? That's preposterous! Justin would never do that. He and I have a special bond" Amy said "Us too! He even wrote a song only about me. It's called Every Single Girl I've Ever Met" Sticks said "But it's true! Justin's producer conveniently revealed the whole scheme! Right in front of us! Talk about lazy writing" Knuckles said "Trust us, guys. We're not under mind control" Amy said "Let's get to that concert so we can spend our life savings on Justin Beaver Merchandise!" Amy said to Sticks and they squeal and run off "Don't worry. I know just what to do..." Tails said.

At Tails and Turbo's Workshop, "Since the mind control is embedded in Justin's music track, there must be an opposite sound frequency that could counter it. Just need to find it. Thus, the Measure-o-meter!" Tails said as he and Turbo work on the device "It's fun to bring people a long way to finish a sentence, isn't it?" Sonic asks "It really is!" Tails said.

*Later at Village Center, Stage*

"And now, here he is. The nocturnal, semi-aquatic rodent of your dreams, Justin Beaver!" The Announcer said as Justin Beaver runs onto the stage in front of the screaming crowd of girls, Sonic, Brody, Turbo, Tails, Ralph and Knuckles, dressed in their Dreamboat Express jackets, head for the backstage area "In order for me to calibrate the Measure-o-meter, we need to get on that stage without being seen" Turbo said "Hey! You there!" Salty said "Huh?!" Sonic, Brody, Turbo, Tails, Knuckles and Ralph ask "The show's starting! The opening act needs to be up on that stage!" Salty said and Sonic, Brody, Ralph, Knuckles, Turbo and Tails walk backstage, whistling innocently "Man, I'm good at my job. What would they do without me?" Salty asks.

On the stage, "Has your Measure-o-meter discovered the counter-frequency?" Brody asks "Not yet. We have to stall Justin!" Tails said and Sonic, Brody, Tails, Turbo, Ralph and Knuckles run on stage "Who are you?" Justin asks "Dreamboat Express!" Sonic said and groans "I hate that name" He said softly "And we challenge you... to a sing-off!" Sonic said "What are they doing here?!" Dixon asks "You should expect the expected, and nothing more 'cause you've all heard this song and dance before! Our moves are stale, our harmony's bland, 'cause we're just another -- whoo! -- generic boy band!" Sonic, Brody, Tails, Turbo, Ralph and Knuckles sing "Wow, they're pretty good!" Amy said "I'd love to meet those guys someday" Sticks said and Justin steps up, waving Dreamboat Express aside "I've got a bold confession, and I think it's time you knew. I'm into you specifically, girl and no other girl will do" Justin sings "He's talking about me!" Amy and Sticks said "In your face!" They said at each other "Yo, yo, yo! We're bringing it weak, and we're bringing it lame... Whatever we can do to keep it all the same! We're focus-tested, and radio-friendly!" Sonic, Brody, Turbo, Tails, Ralph and Knuckles sing coming back on stage "The only thing that matters is that we stay trendy!" Tails and Turbo sing "You're unique, you're complex and interesting, girl, and I'm not being hyperbolic. Let's carve our name into a tree. It's vandalism... but it's symbolic!" Justin sings "You should expect the expected, and nothing more 'cause you've all heard this song and dance before! Our phony-baloney image is bland 'cause we're just another -- Huh! -- generic boy band!" Sonic, Brody, Tails, Turbo, Ralph and Knuckles sing jumping back on stage "Won't you please be my special girl? We'll do the things you want to do. And take a trip to the place you like, and be home before" Justin sings "CURFEW!" He sings extending the note and Tails and Turbo's Measure-o-meter picks up the counter-frequency from Justin's extended note "The counter-frequency! Of course! I should have known all along!" Turbo said so Sonic, Brody, Turbo and Tails grab guitars and Knuckles and Ralph grab drums. Brody plays a tune on his guitar "Drop that generic phat beat!" Sonic said and the crowd cheers "Not Rock and Roll!" Dixon said "Ladies and... uh... ladies! Prepare for the bad boy musical stylings of... Dude-itude!" Knuckles said "You thought we'd never beat the fever but now we're here to make you believers! Sonic and crew, rockin' with the chemistry! Crummy boy band music is the enemy!" Brody said and his guitar fires a sound wave that knocks over Justin Beaver and snaps the audience out of the boy band trance "What happened? Where are we?" Amy asks "I don't know, but listen to that sweet guitar solo!" Sticks said and Dude-itude continues to play, as the crowd beings throwing away their Justin Beaver merchandise "Your power rock ballad has freed me from the evil spell of mind control! Now I can move into an industry where I won't be exploited by unscrupulous producers. Hello, humiliating reality TV series!" Justin said "I'm ruined... I'm ruined!" Dixon said "We're here!" Sonic sings "We're Dude-itude!" Sonic, Brody, Turbo, Tails, Ralph and Knuckles sing "And though you may find us crude and rude, we have to conclude you'll come unglued now that you've heard us..." Brody sings "Dude-itude!" Sonic, Brody, Turbo, Tails, Ralph and Knuckles sing as this chapter comes to an end.
