Knuckles was out in the field eating some sweet bubbles when Kosh came out of nowhere.
"Hey! What are you doing? Those are my sweet bubbles! Get your own somewhere else," Kosh demanded.
"Hey, dude, I don't see your name on them," Knuckles retorted.
"Well, I knew you'd be stupid enough to eat from a bush where I marked my territory," Kosh sneered.
Knuckles spat out the sweet bubbles in disgust.
"Ha! Now, beat it Nibbles," Kosh added.
"By the way, my name is Knuckles, not Nibbles; see you, pinky," Knuckles retorted and then left the area.
"Oh that guy is so gullible," Kosh sneered.
As it turns out, he made up a lie to get Knuckles away from the area.
Meanwhile, Tails was having fun playing swimmer-splasher with Littlefoot and his friends. Since Sonic wasn't much of a swimmer, he took to a high branch on a tree and decided to take a nap. Unbeknownst to them, Dr. Eggman is putting a plan into action.
"Hmm, in order to take over this place, I better weaken its defences; taking out the elder longnecks, ha ha ha," Dr. Eggman cackled.
He then took out what looks like a lethal weapon; however, it's an age ray that turns grown ups into any age he desires.
"Ahh, look out!" Grandma cried out.
Grandma and Grandpa got out of the way in time despite their age; however, Topsy took the hit and was turned into the same age and size as Cera.
"D'oh! I wanted the old fart and his lady friend to be turned into children! Not the horn-face!" Dr. Eggman growled.
"Old fart? Why you egghead!" Grandpa snarled.
He managed to swat Eggman a few yards away from him.
"That'll teach 'im," Grandpa added.
Just then, he lowered his head to Topsy.
"Now, what are we gonna do with you?" Grandpa asked.
"For starters, you could get me some treestars, please, thank you very much; it's lunch time, and I ain't had nothing to eat yet," Topsy said.
"You haven't had anything to eat yet," Grandpa corrected him.
"Darn tootin'," Topsy retorted.
"You misunderstood me, I was just correcting your grammar," Grandpa replied.
"I don't need no stinking longneck to tell me how to speak," Topsy snorted.
Grandpa sighed.
"What? I was just being honest," Topsy added.
Meanwhile in the sky, Dr. Eggman was chuckling to himself.
"Maybe this could work to my advantage," Dr. Eggman said before floating away.
He then zapped more grown ups with his ray gun along the way. Now that Kosh along with Ducky and Spike's mom have been turned back into 10 year old kids like Topsy was.
Later that day, the three grown ups now-turned 10 year olds met up with the gang along with Sonic, Tails and Knuckles.
"Hey there, Nibbles," Kosh sneered.
"Right back at you, pinky," Knuckles retorted.
Topsy sat on his haunches and laughed while pointing his paw at Kosh.
"What'cha laughing at?" Sonic asked the threehorn male.
"Kosh can't seem to get Knuckles' name right and he retaliated by calling him pinky," Topsy answered.
Sonic snorted in laughter.
"Yeah; he calls me Nibbles," Knuckles responded.
It was now Cera's turn to chuckle.
"Oh, even with you guys being turned into children, I'm STILL the youngest in the group," Tails moaned.
"Heh heh, that means I get to push you around," Kosh remarked.
Tails sighed. If only he could figure out how to change the grown ups back to their proper ages before Eggman could turn more grown ups into children.
