Chapter 4

Swift and Dash walked behind Sonic as they journeyed upstairs into the attic. And once they reached the attic they looked around and saw inventions laying everywhere and grandpa was at his desk sleeping. Chris went in front of his Grandpa while the others stayed behind him and stood. "Grandpa," Chris said shaking his grandpa's arm. "Wake up Grandpa," after a couple of minutes of shaking and calling the grandpa finally sat up in his chair.

"Ah, hello Chris," Gramps said. "What brings you to my lab today?" Gramps was a lean, sturdy old man with very few wrinkles, white hair, pale white skin, brown eyes, a professor lab coat on, a white shirt on, black pants on, and black shoes on.

"Hi Grandpa," Chris said. "Some old friend of ours wanted to go shopping for some newcomers but they need a little help from you for them to do it."

"Oh? Who could they be and what is it they need-" a tap on Grandpa's shoulder stopped him talking and made him jump in surprise, stumbling to the ground facing Sonic and the others.

"Hey Gramps," Sonic said. "Long time no see."

The grandpa got off the ground and started laughing. "Well I certainly didn't expect this but you all have great timing!"

"Why?" Amy asked.

"I just invented the thing that will let you walk freely among humans yet still have your powers!"

"Well that is nice and all but we just need to go shopping for two newcomers that I saved." Sonic said.

"And who are these newcomers?" The twins came out from behind Sonic and Gramps looked at them curiously. "Well, since you all are here I will invent two more inventions like the ones I created already for your new friends."

"What inventions?" Sonic asked and he was given a golden ring. He looked at it to Gramps confusingly.

"Well, try it on!"

Sonic put it on his middle finger and heard everyone gasp. "What?" he asked but soon he found out why they gasped when he caught his reflection in a mirror. He turned from a hedgehog into a teenage boy approximately nineteen years of age. He had long blue hair spiked back that resembled his quills, a blue hoodie that had a hood that was split in two to resemble his back quills, light tanned skin, his eyes were the same emerald green they've always been, blue cargo pants on, his shoes were the same, and he had gloves on.

"Oh!" Amy said in amazement. "That is so cool!"

The twins circled Sonic poking and pulling on him to see if he was really there. Gramps took quick pictures of the twins and said, "Now I have some work to do so if you'll just excuse me…"

"Are you going to make us look like humans too?" Swift asked.

Gramps nodded and then gave the others their rings and shooed them out of his office.

Nearly four hours later, Gramps with Tails' help managed to complete the rings for the twins though they had to test them out on them many times during the process. By now everyone had a ring on, well except Chris and Gramps, and they all looked like humans.

Amy, who resembled a fifteen year old, had shoulder length pink hair that resembled her quills, lightly tanned skin, emerald green eyes, a red headband on, a red shirt on that had white lining, blue jeans on, and her boots and gloves were the same.

Tails, who resembled a ten year old, had short orange hair with white tipped ends, his eyes were still sapphire blue, fair white skin, a white tee shirt on, a non-hooded jacket with long sleeves tied around his waist so the sleeves were in the back, orange cargo pants on, and his shoes and gloves were the same.

Cream, who resembled a nine year old, had blond hair that reached her knee's with brown highlights, fair white skin, chocolate brown eyes, an orange short sleeve shirt on with a white collar and blue tie, blue shorts on, and her gloves and shoes were the same.

Cheese, who had to wear the ring as a collar, was changed into a blue and yellow parakeet bird with a blue ribbon around its neck.

Knuckles, who resembled a twenty year old, had shoulder length hair that was red resembling his quills, lightly tanned skin, his eyes were still a purplish magenta color, a red shirt on with his guardian symbol on his chest, red cargo pants on, and his gloves and shoes were the same.

Dash, who resembled a seven year old, had blue hair spiked back like the way his quills were, his skin was lightly tanned, he still had his light blue eyes, he had a blue jacket on that had a hood that split in two resembling the quills on his back, blue cargo pants on, and no shoes or gloves.

Swift, who since she was a twin resembles a seven year old, had blue spiked back hair with light blue highlights in it resembling her quills, lightly tanned skin, light green eyes, and she had the same clothes on as her twin brother except her cargo pants were shorts.

"Now that we look like humans can we please get this shopping over with?" Knuckles said irritably.

"Yes, yes we can all go now." Grandpa said getting his car keys. "Lets take my car."

"Why can't I just run?" Sonic asked.

"Because it's not everyday that you see a human running at a speed of 750 or more, Sonic." Chris said.

"Right then let's go." Gramps said and they all went outside and into Gramps' blue and gray sports car driving off toward the city mall.
