Transcript

 * Sunshine: Having troubles, Grampus?
 * Grampus: Bully troubles.
 * Sunshine: Oh, so Zip's playing the bully game.
 * Grampus: The bully game?
 * Sunshine: Well, there are some people who push other people around because it makes them feel important. It's a mean sort of game that bullies play. But you can play your own game, Grampus. Show Zip you can stand up for your rights without picking a fight.
 * Grampus: Are there any bullies in Mobius?
 * Sunshine: Oh, yes, even in Mobius. I think it's time I told you about Robotnik Jr..
 * (Sunshine whistles and the story, Robotnik Jr. begins)
 * Sunshine: It was a special holiday in Mobius. Sonic Jr. the Hedgehog was working harder than ever before. All the animals were busy, too. Rotor was waiting for his next journey. Near him stood a robot, but he didn't look friendly like Sonic Jr.. The robot growled as he gazed at the happy passengers.
 * Robotnik Jr.: Stupid nonsense!
 * Sunshine: He grumbled.
 * Robotnik Jr.: I wouldn't have brought them if I'd known. I'd have had a breakdown or something.
 * Rotor: I'm glad you didn't.
 * Sunshine: Smiled Rotor.
 * Rotor: You'd have spoiled their fun.
 * Robotnik Jr.: Bah. Enjoyment is all you tugs live for. One day, Mobius will be ripped up!
 * Sunshine: Rotor felt shocked at such an idea.
 * Rotor: We have a friend called Sonic Jr., and he's a hedgehog, but he likes Mobius. Sometimes he teases us about it, but he'd never want to see it ripped up.
 * Robotnik Jr.: Heh.
 * Sunshine: Growled the robot.
 * Robotnik Jr.: I know Sonic Jr.. He's too small in size to be of any use.
 * Sunshine: Rotor took no notice.
 * Rotor: That robot is silly.
 * Sunshine: He thought, as he steamed away. At the junction, Rotor told Lucas all about him.
 * Lucas: I call him Robotnik Jr.!
 * Sunshine: Chuckled Lucas, and then he puffed happily away. But that afternoon, when the two friends met again, Lucas was no longer laughing.
 * Lucas: Robotnik Jr.'s friend has come.
 * Sunshine: He said.
 * Lucas: He's rude, too! He's taking Robotnik Jr.'s passengers home, and leaving Robotnik Jr. free to steal ours.
 * Rotor: But he can't!
 * Sunshine: Objected Rotor.
 * Lucas: Robotnik Jr. says he can get them to the station before us.
 * Rotor: Rubbish!
 * Sunshine: Replied Rotor.
 * Rotor: It's much farther by his route.
 * Lucas: Yeah,
 * Sunshine: Continued Lucas.
 * Grampus: But Robotnik Jr. says he knows a shortcut!
 * Sunshine: That evening, Rotor and Lucas were preparing for the homeward rush.
 * Rotor: Where are the passengers?
 * Sunshine: They wondered.
 * Lucas: Look!
 * Sunshine: Shrilled Lucas.
 * Lucas: Look at Robotnik Jr.! He's a mean, robot deceiver!
 * Sunshine: Robotnik Jr. was wearing a large sign, saying, 'Mobius Robot'.
 * Robotnik Jr.: Yeah, boo, snubs!
 * Sunshine: He jeered, as he roared away.
 * Rotor: Come on,
 * Sunshine: Puffed Rotor to his coaches,
 * Rotor: Let's see what he's up to!
 * Sunshine: Rotor wanted to get back at Robotnik Jr., but he wasn't sure how. Then, in the distance, Rotor saw a man waving a red flag. That meant 'Danger'. The road here crosses a narrow bridge, and there was Robotnik Jr., wedged firmly in the bridge.
 * Rotor: So this was his shortcut!
 * Sunshine: Chucked Rotor.
 * Passengers: He tricked us!
 * Sunshine: Shouted Robotnik Jr.'s passengers.
 * Passengers: He said he was an Mobius Robot, but he wouldn't accept our return tickets! He wanted us to think Mobius was no good!
 * Sunshine: Rotor's Crew examined the bridge.
 * Rotor's Crew: It's risky, but we must help the passengers.
 * Rotor: Passengers are urgent.
 * Sunshine: Agreed Rotor. Rotor slowly and carefully set off across the canal. Robotnik Jr. wailed as he felt it quiver.
 * Robotnik Jr.: Oh, oh! Stop!
 * Sunshine: He shouted.
 * Robotnik Jr.: It might break me!
 * Rotor: That would serve you right for telling lies.
 * Sunshine: Said Rotor, but the bridge didn't break. Rotor made good time, and all the passengers caught their rides. The bridge is now mended, but not unfortunately, Robotnik Jr. and his ways. He never learned sense. He's a henhouse now, and his lies can do no harm. The hens never listen to them, anyway.
 * Grampus: Did Robotnik Jr. ever beat up anyone?
 * Sunshine: Well, I can't say that he did, but he did lie, and he did make fun of the tugs. And that's another way of being a bully.
 * Grampus: But Zip said he'd beat me up. I'm going to hide.
 * Sunshine: Now wait, let's examine the situation.
 * Grampus: I'm gonna hide first.
 * Sunshine: Grampus, instead of hiding, have a look in here!
