Hhhh... I wanted to get this story out sooner, but SOMEONE shut down my computer without saving my document... FUFUFUFUFUFU.
Okay... Onto the author's note.
So. I wanted to create a story like this for a while. Instead of it being canon, I'm gonna change a few things around. Like instead the hedgehogs being 2 or 3 feet, are now 4 feet tall. And instead of Chris and his friends being 10 or 11, they are now 12 or 13 when they meet the hedgehogs.
Some of the many things in this story which will not be canon, I will do my best to entertain and create in a way you would be interested and delighted.
Anyway, enjoy...
Begin!
Ugh. Ugh is the word today. Chris is sick, or at least getting over it, and I have nothing to do. Chris I think is actually over his sickness, but hasn't called me or let me know he's better. I'm gonna visit him today, 'cause I have nothing else to do.
Last time I was sick was when I was in private school. Eagle View Christian School. Never liked the place. Never liked where it was at. That was when I was 9. I'm 14. Gonna be 15 soon, though.
Haven't been sick in 5 years. Dang. That's a record I'll never live down. I also live in a mansion as well as Chris does. Some times we think that the other guys house is large than the others. I can't tell, honestly. I think his is bigger... Wait a minute, see? I did it again! Anyway...
I'm homeschooled, by the way. Yeah... I know. I didn't tell you. YET. Since most of the commotion inside the large mansion, distracts me, I decided to ask my mom and have her make me a small dorm-like building outside the house. It has a downstairs room where I do my school on my computer, with a refrigerator, microwave oven, convection oven, and a restroom.
I purposely had her tell the builders to build the attic like Chris' attic. First time I was up there, I felt at home. Peaceful. I had it designed like that, and so, I spend most of my time up their. Sometimes I sleep up there. Sometimes I spend my hours in there so much, my mother has to call me to the house...
Oh, I'm sorry, the name's Jossten Hollandice. I represent the Hollandice family. I am a 14 year old, well built young man, if I do say so myself. Reason for being well built is because my father loved to workout, and soon encouraged me to workout as well. Been doing it since I was 9. I swear I could run forever. I wear a black t-shirt, dark blue jeans, green and grey Crocs hiking boots, and a wool plaid coat which flashed the colors blue, dark blue, brown, dark brown, and white.
And a black, Epoch-branded fedora hat... Anyway...
Haven't seen my father in 5 years... He died on the highway to a meeting. The accident involved a drunk driver. Ever since he died, I promised I would keep the Hollandice name, a worthy name to speak of.
It was 5 years ago when I last saw my mother. She isn't dead, but she works around the world, not only helping small camps in Africa, Asia, places like that, but she is a major represenative for a HUGE computer company. At least... I hope she isn't dead... She even has a english accent, like Chris' mother. Even my father was the CEO of another computer company. He had a HUGE insurance claim on his death, so that was one thing that helped us.
Yeah... I've... Never told my friends that my father died. I just tell him he's not here. And in a sense, I'm telling the truth. Though, I don't live alone, I have the butler, Robert, and the maid, Julia, looking over me.
I could swear Julia is like a sister to me. Always wanted the best for me, always made sure I did the right thing. Wish I had a sister. Or a brother. I wish I had brother. Anyway, I never told my friends that my father died. From my friends point of view, not much is known about me. Other than being an awesome friend, that's really all they know.
I decided to visit Chris, since I'm all done with my work for today. One of the many advantages of homeschool. You choose the speed of your work. Anyway, I walked downstairs, and grabbed my coat, and walked out, closing the door behind me. I walked up the patio, and opened the door to my house.
"Hello?"
"Yes?" Julia said while walking inside the entry room. "Oh, hey."
"Hey, I'm gonna visit Chris, if you don't mind."
"No problem. Go ahead. Have a good time!"
"Thank you!" I said while walking outside and closing the door. I kept walking, when I stopped and thought for a moment.
If I bike, I'll get there faster. If I walk, I'll get some time to think to myself.
I decided to bike. I ran over and grabbed my bike, and kicked the stand back, and biked off.
After a few minutes of fast biking...
"Okay!" I said while biking to the gate, and opening the gate, and parking my bike inside the gate.
I was gonna close the gate, when I saw that familiar kid biking down the road. I opened the gate, and let him in.
He parked his bike next to mine, and I just grinned at him.
"What?"
"Dunno. I thought you were sick."
"Yeah, I got over that yesterday."
"Well, I decided to come over to hang out. You have free time?"
"Pfft, of course I do. It was a half day anyway."
"Really?" I said while looking at my watch which said 12:53.
"So. Wanna come inside?" He said.
"Sure. Lead the way." I said while motioning for him to lead.
We got up to the door, and he knocked on it a few times.
"So. What's new with your grandfather?"
"A new machine. He's been talking about it for days. And he wants you to help him."
"Really? I'd be glad to help."
The door unlocked, and there stood Mrs. Thorndyke.
"Oh Chris darling!" She said while hugging him.
"Hi mom." He said happily.
"Oh, I see you brought your friend along. Justin, wasn't it?"
"Jossten."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"That's alright, most everybody gets that wrong."
"Well, it is a rare name. I've never heard of it before."
"Well, yeah. I guess it is kinda rare."
"Oh! Would you like to come in?" She asked.
"Sure. Thank you." I said while walking in.
"We were just about to eat our lunch, would you like to join us?"
"No thank you, but it sure was nice for asking. I just ate, maybe some other time?"
"Alright." She smiled and walked off with her son.
"Jossten!" A familiar voice said to me.
I turned around quickly, and said: "Chuck! Great to see ya!" I said while hugging him.
We broke apart and just looked at each other.
"So. Chris tells me that you have a new invention coming along."
"Yeah, let me show you." He said while unrolling the blueprint.
"I haven't got a name for it yet, but, it can replicate anything you want, as long as you insert matter in it."
"Woah."
"Yeah, but I need a Positron connector, two Difibreum coordinaters, and an Illumnert former."
"Hmm... I can supply the coordinaters, but the Positron connector-"
"I have plenty."
"I can create the Illumnert former."
"What? You?"
"Yes."
"How?"
"YEARS of studying science. I wanted to give it a try, and I have one at home, but that is my accomplishment, and it isn't very good."
"Woah."
"I just need you to supply the parts for the Illumnert former."
"Say no more." He smirked.
"Just hold on a few minutes, I meet you in your garage, I'll get the Difibreum coordinaters from my inventions."
"Alright. I meet you there."
After a little while of taking the inventions apart, and biking back...
I biked to the garage, when he wasn't there, I went to the house, and found him there, reading his blueprint.
"Okay. Got the Difibreum coordinaters."
"Good. Let's head to my garage."
Chris' Point of View...
"Chris?"
"Yeah mom?"
"I need to speak with your father, do you mind?"
"No, I'll be off."
"Would you like to go with your grandfather?"
"Sure!"
"Good. Let's head to my garage."
"Hey. Jossten, could I go with you?"
"Sure. We could use an extra hand or two."
I wish I could be like him...
I walked out the door, and went walked to the garage.
Back to my point of view...
We went down to Chuck's secret labratory, and started work as soon as we got there.
"Chris?"
"Yeah?" He said.
"Could you hand me a red box up on that shelf?"
"Sure." He said while grabbing it and walking over to me.
"Thank you."
And we were like that for about a few hours. Back and forth. Chuck, me, and Chris were the perfect team.
We had finally finished, when Chuck presented the new machine.
"And there!" He held it up.
I put my arm around his shoulder and Chris', and said: "That, my friends, is a job well done." I said while smirking.
"Oh yes. that was a fine job indeed." Chuck agreed.
"What is it?" Chris asked.
"Um." I said.
"Uh." Chuck said.
"Uhh... We don't have a name for it." I admitted.
"Oh..."
"We will find one soon." Chuck said.
"Yep."
"Now, you'd better get back home, it's 6 already."
"Already?"
"Yep."
"I'll see ya later!" I said while rushing in the elevator, and going up.
As I did so, I felt... Odd. Like something was wrong. Maybe it was me, or maybe something really was wrong...
