The Letter, Baseball and a Blackout

Start from the beginning
                                        

"Oh, man. It's the craziest thing; you apply for the job, you get the job." Maddie walks to the dining room and sits across from Tom.

"Well, pending a background check."

"Oh, man. Hope they don't find out about that time you used the neighbor's Wi-Fi."

"Correction: I'm still using the neighbor's Wi-Fi. But, Maddie, are you sure you're okay with this?"

"Thomas Michael Wachowski, what did you do the entire time I was in veterinary school?"

"I worked a second job to pay the rent and--"

"A third job to pay tuition. You sacrificed for me. I'm happy to sacrifice for you." Both she and Tom smile "Babe, are you sure you're okay with this? I mean, there's been a Wachowski protecting this town for more than 50 years. This is a big change."

"I'm positive." He gets up from the table "It's time for this guy to get out there and prove himself." Walks over to Maddie. "I love Green Hills, but, you know, I want to help people in real trouble. I want someone to turn to me in a life-and-death situation and I'll be there for 'em." Tom nods

"I get it. I'm so proud of you." Maddie nods back

"Thank you."

Both Tom and Maddie hug

We cut to a road. Where Tom looks like he's giving a speech.

"And so, it is with a heavy heart that I tell you all that I've accepted a position at the San Francisco Police Department, effective immediately. It's gonna be tough to leave my hometown and all my friendships. But this is something I feel like I need to do to grow... as both an officer and a man." It is revealed that Tom was practicing his departure speech and reciting it to his hood ornament, a pink frosted sprinkled donut wearing sunglasses and wire limbs attached. Its sprinkles form a "mustache". "What do you think, Sergeant Sprinkles? That wasn't so bad, right? Now, all I got to do is... tell everyone who isn't a donut."

Sonic is peeking from behind a tree, watching a baseball game.

"Whoa, the playoffs!"

Tom: Your a baseball fan.

Sonic: it's America's favorite Pastime.

Aven: I actually played in a Little League team

Sonic speeds over to the bleachers to watch the game up close and the players congratulating each other. Later on, everyone packs up and heads for home, leaving the baseball diamond completely empty. Sonic is now on the baseball diamond, admiring the beauty of it all.
"Whoa. So cool."

Sonic spots some baseball equipment and he plays the role of a batter at home plate. "Bottom of the ninth, tie score. And exactly who you want at the plate with the game on the line--Sonic!"
Sonic is now playing the role of the pitcher for the opposing team "But staring him down from the pitcher's mound is the most fearsome southpaw in Green Hills--also Sonic!"

Sonic switches back to the batter. "Okay. Focus, Sonic. If you win this game, you'll be the most beloved kid in Green Hills."

Now playing the role of an infielder, Sonic does a secret code with his fingers, straightens his cap, slaps his face a few times, does a couple of arm farts, flaps his hands and cups them against his mouth. "Hit it to the guy in left! He's a real space case."

Playing the role of the left outfielder, Sonic blows a bubble of gum and resumes the role of the pitcher "Ugh, I can't with that guy."

Sonic plays the role of the umpire "Hey, batter Sonic. Hey, batter Sonic. "Suh-wing," batter Sonic."
