CHAPTER 4

Bathtime Babies

* * * * *

Have you ever tried to give a hedgehog a bath? They don't know the meaning of

the the word 'sit'. Now imagine my crazy hedgehog, who had taken a bath earlier

in beef broth, in a bathtub with me. It's a living nightmare! One minute he's

behaving like a good little baby, and the next he's a demon. He spashed me,

shook soap into my eyes, and tried to jump out of the tub. The two of us got

water everywhere!

I finally decided that we've had enough and got out. Sonic took off like a bat

out of Hell. I had to run around the hall with only a towel on, chasing after

my crazy hedgehog. Boy did I get some funny looks out of that one!

I chased Sonic down to my grandfather's experiment lab, where Professor James

stopped me. He said there was an experiment going on in there that had a lot

of radiation and I couldn't go in. I told him that Soinc slipped into the room,

but he didn't belive me. Then a bright flash of light stole my attention away.

I went to the view window to see what was going on, but I couldn't see anything

beyond the white light.

It took several minutes before the light finally faded. When it did, I screamed.

Sonic was slumpped on the floor, only now, he was black with red streaks and

he was bigger. A lot bigger. Probably half my height. Proffesor James ran into

the lab to see what happened to Sonic. A breath's time later, my grandfather

was in there. He motioned for me to come in to see Sonic. I moved in slowly. . .
