With school days coming around the corner and the toy company already on its multi-conceptual start, Alexander found it best to give himself a little break.

Ever since the start of his re-life, he has been sprinting towards whatever advantageous opportunity he could grab.

He even dared to swipe up and swept up a lot of things from creators that were set to propose and create their masterful ideas within 1984.

Alexander could have very well chosen from the 1985 and beyond franchises to plunder from but he didn't just want to miss out on them.

Back to the Future was a phenomenal hit and leaving it up to its fate because it was made in the early 1980s was wasteful.

Dragonball was one of the important mangas that put 'manga' itself into the mainstream culture of the Japanese. It would be stupid to waste it just because it was going to be made within the last months of 1984.

Now, when Alexander looked back on it. His debut Dragonball has already caused a stir in the American comic book industry and cemented Creed Comics for what it had become.

There was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the fact that it was still being conceptualized in the basement of two comic artists.

It became a staple of turtle power and unexpected heroism that spanned for many decades. Alexander just had to sprintingly sweep them up and give them a much glorious glory than it had been.

Mirage was still in a basement somewhere while TMNT has already become a staple of Creed Comics and the perfect follow-up for the wildly debuting Dragonball.

ThunderCats and its roars also came at a juncture where the original creator was just thinking about anthropomorphic animals. Alexander just grabbed the opportunity of being the first runner and gave the ThunderCats franchise a much stabler and better run than it could have had.

The sprint for Top Gun, RoboCop, and Predator is still on hold, however, there was no denying that they would become successful staples themselves when they hopefully come out.

Perhaps the most representative of success brought by Alexander's quick-witted and fast plundering was transforming Transformers into The Cybertronian Chronicles.

Even the newly hired "toy designers" of Creed Toys so their enormous potential and even Hasbro had pretty much given up on their licensed Takara toys when they realized a grand storyline about a transforming Bumblebee was already in the American market.

There was no doubt that with Cybertronian Chronicles alone, Creed Entertainment and its subsidiaries could very well have a steady growth of income for the upcoming years to come.

None of those grabbed opportunities wouldn't have been made to happen if he was being slow, stable, and riskless.

Of course, the risk is also reduced to a minimum with all the many mechanisms and legal precedence that Mr. Legalities and his law team had set up.

The lawsuits and all that could just come but they better make sure that they know that the Creeds are much prepared than them.

Drawn-out and endurance battles in court would be won with a trained and supporting cardio of logical reasoning.

As Alexander sprinted his way to get them, he also made sure to give himself the long-term endurance and stamina to truly make it his own.

Of course, all the sprint thoughts had to mean something and it just so happen that for his well-deserved break, he was going to sprintingly jog to a healthy body.

Wellness in company and wellness in the body is key to well-off life after all.

With the time just right and his clothing right for the occasion, Alexander was to set off to a new morning venture he just decided on.

It just so happened that Milica who was having her usual guest sleepover saw him heading out.

"Alex... why did you wake up so early?" Milla asked with surprise. She even rubbed her eyes to get rid of her sleepiness and to try to assess if everything was real.

"You woke up early as well so why can't I?" Alexander asked back.

"I needed to go pee and would sleep back soon." Milla compared her sleepwear to his strange attire. "You are clearly prepared as if you're trying to run away from home."

"I'm running away from home while also planning to run back after a while. It is the basics of a morning run." Alexander explained before her words lead to misunderstandings.

After that side interaction, the morning runs became a reality.

-----

Of course, Milla was also curious for the next couple of days that she can't help but ask.

"Why do you always wake up at four in the morning? Isn't that way too early?"

"It's the perfect time for any productive person to wake up to. If you try it, you'll find that you can do more than just lounging at your bed and dream." Alexander noticed his spry body and increased productivity after that day, so he can attest to everything.

"Did the teacher tell you that? Why didn't my teacher tell me?" Milla asked as school hasn't even started yet but her friend was already about PE classes.

"The one who told me has many genders, races, ethnicities, professions, and hobbies." Alexander decided to answer euphemistically. "The last name's Ed and the first name's Ted."

"You're trying to trick me, aren't you?" Milla was now not one who is easy to be lied to... although it is what she thinks she is.

"Ted is a teddy and Ed is its name. Am I right?" She was jumping for joy as she felt like she answered a riddle. This was a topic that always troubled her in class and she felt that she finally got it right.

"You're... right. Congratulations, I guess." Alexander didn't have much passion for breaking the girl's elation. He had successfully tricked her from that certain future knowledge and that's that. The infamous TedEd still hasn't been made popular after all.

Even Alexander thought that that was the end of their morning run topic.

----

Unexpectedly, it was not.

When Alexander was out for his next morning run, it just so happen that little Milica was on her kitted jogging outfit and planned to jog along with him.

"Why though?" He asked.

"Mom said it was a great idea for an aspiring actress like me to try out..." Milla was excitedly jumping jocks. "...so friend Alex, you just became my running buddy Alex."

For some reason when she said that, Alexander had the urge to palm himself as she underestimated Miss Galina's resolve and this little girl's weird motivation for anything star-related.

Alexander could only accept his fate as he also noticed old Sullivan was eerily lurking in the corner with a gaze that signified 'be a friend and socialize along.'

And so... Alexander had to accept his new running buddy, who just happen to be the future Alice. What's weird about the situation was that she was now Red Queen-esque but wearing jogging attire.

Anyways, he could just consider it as an inspiration for his Resident Evil merchandise.

Thus, Alexander's sprinting road to everything went on. This time not just in IP plundering but physical wellness as well.
