Grrr!
No one at the pie festival will guess
that beige berries are my secret ingredient.
Unless one of these trees is a spy in disguise.
I'm onto you, tree. You'll never get the recipe. Never!
Hey, Sticks, how's tricks?
I see you're making beige berry pie.
I don't know what he's talking about.
I'm taking you to live on a farm.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a few trees left to pick.
Looks like you could use some help. Be right back.

♪ Trap-jaw's connected to the scoop-maw ♪
♪ Scoop-maw's connected to the resistor coupling ion matrix ♪
Whoops. Needs voltage. A lot of trees means a lot of Vs.
Nope. Nope. Nope.
[Sonic panting and grunting]
Yup!
You sure about this? You know how Sticks is about machines.
But this thing runs on natural energy. Yours.
It's better than going green. It's going blue!
Say when.
When.
[rumbling]
Agh!
Well, my work here is done.
Your machine destroyed the orchard.
Could be worse. At least you still have the berries.
What happened here?
Looks like Tails got himself into a jam. Ha!
- Get it? - Not at all.
But I never leave a hog hanging.
At least one tree's still standing.
Such senseless destruction. Wonderful!
Our organisation could use the mind that created this.
Send him a crimson letter.
I can't believe Sticks made me replant the entire orchard.
Now I'm gonna miss the pie festival.
This is for you.
[grunts and pants]
Maybe it'd be easier if we just told you.
Your ingenuity has earned you an invitation
to the bi-monthly pot-luck dinner and raffle
of the super-secret exclusive club known as...
[fanfare]
The Lightning Bolt Society.
Wow! The Lightning Bolt Society?
Really? I've never heard of it.
That's because it's super-secret. Duh.
Come. We'll take you to our clubhouse.
Much as I'd love to go off with you strangers,
my friends left me with an entire orchard to plant.
Cool gizmo! How much was it?
Let's just say it was a steal.
Well, my work here is done.
And since I missed the festival,
I think I will take you up on that pot-luck.
Notify the membership at once.
I've got him now.
You've stolen your last Sunday paper, you furry little mutant.
Gah! Pop-up! Wait. What's this?
It appears to be a status update from the Lightning Bolt Society.
Pff! More like Lightning Dolt Society.
That play on words should show I think they're a bunch of pests.
Hey, you bums! Get out of my trash!
Run!
Gotta invent some device to keep those losers out of my garbage.
There. That ought to do it.
Why would those wannabes initiate Tails into their group?
If they're with Sonic, I'll never get them out of my trash.
To the Eggmobile!
Tails! We're back. Sticks won.
And we've got some pie for you.
He's gone.
And all the seeds are planted.
He couldn't have done it so fast unless he used...
One of his inventions.
I was gonna say alien magic, but that was a good guess.
What's going on here?
[sniffs]
What's this? Some kind of pulped wood?
It's an envelope, Sticks.
Tails is invited to join the Lightning Bolt Society?
Aren't they the crooks who steal from the village fruit stand?
And they've clearly mistaken Tails for a lemon.
Pff! Ha! What fools!
You two stay here and keep these traps shut.
Amy and I are going after Tails.
Tails, welcome! Such an honour. I assume you've met everyone.
Actually, no. Though that tree looks really familiar.
Zipper's stuck. Nice to meet you.
Have you tried the shrimp?
What did you bring to the pot-luck?
Oh, uh, all I had was beige berry jelly.
It's full of dirt and twigs.
Ha! I told you he was evil. Do I know how to pick 'em or what?
I say we crash through the window.
I say we dress up like pizza delivery guys.
- My idea has pizazz. - My idea has pizza.
- Pizazz! - Pizza!
Could you hold this door open while I go...
[both] Not now!
- Pizazz! - Pizza!
The Lightning Bolt Society is proud to welcome our new member.
He's a deforestation sensation and a berry bad boy.
I give you... Tails!
He brought the jam with the dirt in it.
Oh, uh... thanks.
It's an honour to be among so many...
guys with hats like this one.
With an evil genius like Tails to lead us,
we can go from two-bit crooks to four-bit crooks.
- Or even eight-bit crooks. - Yes!
Combining the warped genius of Tails' deforestation machine
and Eggman's mutant seed gun,
we can finally launch our master plan
to control all the fruit in the village and beyond.
Yeah... uh, having understood very little of that,
did I hear the word "evil" in there?
Indeed! With you as our evil leader, we'll be unstoppable.
When it comes to fruit.
Yeah. Um...
This is a little embarrassing but... I'm not evil.
[all gasp and mutter]
You betrayed us all.
That sounds pretty evil to me.
Now I'm just confused.
- Guys? - [both] Tails!
- Dolts! - Eggman?
I gotta admit that had pizazz.
Sonic, I've seen through your plan
to team up with the Lightning Bolts.
What? I thought you teamed up with them.
- I'm here to rescue Tails. - Ahem.
We. I said "we", didn't I?
Me? Team up with these dolts?
Hey, hey. Words hurt.
I'd never team up with these... dolts.
I'm sorry, there's no other word for you.
So whose side are you on?
We're doing our best to be bad.
- Then get Sonic! - We don't have any weapons.
What kind of villains are you? Find some!
Really? That's all you could come up with?
I'm not gonna say it, but you know what I'm thinking...
you dolts.
- Guess it's just you and me. - Ahem.
I meant you plural, as in "the two of you and me".
Hey, are we gonna battle or what?
Actually, Dr Eggman, sir...
I was wondering if you could autograph my trunk.
- Me too! - [all] Sign my fez!
You seem busy, Mr Popularity.
I'll catch you on the flip-flop.
Gah!
Yah!
Uh, it rained while you were gone.
Nice going, Tails.
That machine of yours was good for something after all.
And your paranoid ramblings weren't detached from reality.
Good talk! Now get planting.
I'd stay and help, but a nice tree invited me and my pie
to a pot-luck dinner at some lodge.
Oops. Almost forgot the sesame seeds.
Hm-hm!
[laughs crazily]
