Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there lived a little hedgehog named Sophie. Brave fighter for the rebel alliance, one day she broke into the dungeon of the evil empire. There, she found a prisoner. “What’s your name?” asked Sophie.
“Nelson,” the prisoner replied.
“Quick, I’ll let you out,” said Sophie.
Sophie opened the cell door, and let the prisoner out. “Oooh, he’s a handsome young hedgehog,” thought Sophie. 
The next day, Sophie introduced Nelson to her friends in the rebel alliance. They went on a walk. 
They headed out across the path. 
But their little friend Yosuke couldn’t keep up. 
Nelson saw him, and turned around to help. “My, he’s a kind young hedgehog,” thought Sophie. 
Almost immediately, the rebel fighters found themselves waylaid by an imperial stormtrooper. 
The stormtrooper took Yosuke captive, and began to play with him. He turned Yosuke over, and licked his lips. He showed his sharp teeth. But did that stop Nelson? Never. “Wow, he’s a brave young hedgehog,” thought Sophie. 
Nelson stared the stormtrooper in the face. Slowly, the stormtrooper backed off. He walked away. 
On Sunday, two rebel fighters held a very romantic wedding. Nelson and Sophie went, too. Nelson helped Sophie climb up to where she could see what was going on . “Oh, he’s a soft and furry young hedgehog,” thought Sophie. 
They watched the service. And they watched each other. 
They went to the reception afterwards, and talked and talked. “Dear me, he’s such an intelligent young hedgehog,” thought Sophie. They didn’t notice the other wedding guests watching them. 
Sophie wondered and wondered. “Will he,” she asked herself. “Will he?” 
She watched the couple leave. “They look so happy,” she sighed. 
Nelson was wracked with doubt. “I’m not a Jedi prince,” he thought. “I saw her staring at this car from the tree. I could never buy her a car like this. What will she think when she learns that I can’t afford the things she expects?” 
What will she say, when I tell her I can’t afford these things? 
The next day, they went out to the woods. They built themselves a fire. 
They climbed a tree. “Please wait here a minute,” said Nelson, and climbed down the tree. 
“I brought you something,” he said. “I know it’s not a Rolls Royce, but I picked it for you.” 
“Oh, Nelson!” said Sophie. “Oh Nelson!” 
“Thank you, Nelson,” she exclaimed. “Thank you…”
