"Meanie in a bottle"
Playing with Muttski in the forest, Sonic throws a stick for him to fetch, which he does while destroying a log on the way. Sonic praises Muttski and throws the stick. He throws the stick too long and it falls into a lake with Muttski jumping in after him. Sonic hating the thought of water decides to jump in after Muttski to save him. Sonic sinks to the bottom where Muttski is and finds a dusty bottle. Sonic manages to get back to the surface with Muttski.

Sonic removes the cord from the bottle and a genie comes out. Sonic realising it's a thinks he'll get 3 wishes, but the genie refuses to waste his powers on Muttski. Sonic thinks he should get a reward for freeing him. The genie uses his magic on Sonic and Muttski and flies away. Sonic and Muttski run back to Knothole, but Sonic finds himself out of breath and slowed down.

Sonic gets himself examined by Doctor Quack and tells him that the genie has stripped Sonic of his super speed and given it to Muttski. With Muttski's new speed, he proves to be a helpful Freedom Fighter, catching bad guys and helping with gardening. Sonic takes Muttski to fetch, but Muttski catches the stick straight away. Sonic then finds the genie in a nearby log and commands Muttski to get him.

Sonic praises Muttski for grabbing the genie. The genie says he'll do anything to get out which Sonic makes a deal for three wishes. Sonic asks him to 1. Return his super-speed, 2. Take away Muttski's and 3. Get back in the bottle. The genie grants the wishes, ashamed that he was fooled by a "lesser being". Sonic throws the bottle back into the lake.

Knuckles also explains that when he's mad strange things happen, and Julie-Su asks what about the rest of the time. In response to this, Knuckles' Chaos powers make a bouquet of flowers appear for Julie-Su. Mighty asks if he could do it again, but Knuckles doesn't want to try. Vector feels Knuckles is too uptight and should get loose and partay. Knuckles thinks he should take care of something first and asks them if they want to come and see Locke with him.
