Hey everyone. Sorry it took so long to update, but what can I say with the end of the school year. I really hope you all liked chapter one. Hopefully this one will be a little more fast paced. Anyway if some of you were confused on how they get the powers, everything will be explained at one point or another during the story so don't worry. Anyways, on with the story!
"Ah, it's so great to be able to sleep in on a Saturday morning!" Matt said as he stretched out of his bed. But, something was different. He felt as if he were, shorter. He gasped as he looked down and saw he had blue legs, with red and white running shoes! Then he noticed his hands. He was wearing white gloves, and his arms were the color they used to be. But when he itched the back of his head he got the biggest surprise of all... He felt wavy spikes on the back of his head. He rushed over to his closet and looked in his mirror. He knew what he saw, but couldn't believe it.
"Oh my God!" He screamed. "I'm Sonic the Hedgehog! Alright I just have to calm down and think for a second. Maybe I ate something, or-"
"Matt!" His mom screamed up the stairs to him.
"Uhhhh...Yeah mom!" He screamed back, still looking in the mirror in awe.
"Your father and I are taking your little brother to the park, so we'll be back in a little bit," She yelled back.
"Umm, okay, take your time," he hollered down to her.
"Are you alright?" She screamed back up. "You sound different than usual."
"Me? No I'm fine." He yelled as he took another glance in the mirror.
"Well alright, we should be back in a few hours." And with that, he heard his front door shut, and heard the car pull out of his driveway.
"This is so strange..." He thought. He wasn't sure what to think. "I must be dreaming. There's no way in hell, that I could be...Sonic the Hedgehog." He rushed down his stairs once he heard his phone ring.
"Uhh, Hello?" He answered.
"Matt, it's Mom. I forgot to tel you to take the dog for a walk, alright?" His mom told him.
"Sure Mom," He answered back.. After he hung up it hit him.
I'm Sonic the Hedgehog... I could run faster than any living thing alive! And after that thought he walked over to his front door, and opened it slowly. After all, he couldn't let people see that a fictional character was just casually walking out of his house. It would draw attention, the last thing he wanted right now. Once he saw the coast was clear, he stepped outside and walked into the road.
"Lets just see how fast this hedgehog really is..." He said quietly to himself while scrapping his new red running shoes on the pavement. He took a few steps. 10 miles per hour. Kept going at a faster pace, 20 miles per hour. Soon it was 30 miles, then 40, and fore he knew it, he was running around his neighborhood at 50 miles per hour!
"Oh my God! This thing really is fast!" He screamed. He continued running, passing out joggers and cars. He looked back at them and they had a look on their faces like they had seen a ghost. He decided to return home, and figure out what had caused him to become this creature. He snuck into his backyard, making sure his neighbors didn't see him. He successfully snuck in through his back door. All of a sudden he heard barking echo through his house.
"Ruff, RUFFF!" His dog growled and showed his teeth as soon as Matt walked in.
"Hey come on boy, Shhhhh. It's me Matt, you know who I am,' He said, trying to calm the dog down. Once that failed he reached for some dog treats and threw him a bunch. His dog ran for those, and Matt walked over and pat him on his head, just so he would know not to be afraid. But then he heard his cell phone ringing upstairs. He ran to get it.
"Ummmm, Hello?" He answered.
"Matt! Something is completely wrong! I woke up and...and..." His friend Ashley started. She sounded different also, but he could tell it was her right away.
"And..." Mat asked, even thought it was obvious she had most likely changed too, it didn't even cross his mind.
"...And I look like a pick version of Minnie Mouse!" She yelled in the phone.
"Ashley, come over to my house. Right now. Something is not right here." Matt replied.
"My dads not home right now. And this is no time to be thinking of hanging out! I look like a rodent! She screamed.
"I know! I woke up and I was Sonic the Hedgehog! You must be Amy Rose, cause you said you were like a pink Minnie Mouse! I wonder if the others were changed to? Just run to my house!" He said.
"I am not going to run all the way to your house, it will take me to long!" She yelled.
"Ashley, trust me. If you are Amy Rose, then it will not take you a long time to run here. I've played the Sonic games before." He explained.
They hung up and within 3 minutes Ashley was at his house, just as she said, looking like Amy Rose.
"What is wrong with us Matt!" She screamed.
"I'm not sure, but I woke up this morning and look at me now," Matt told her..
"What on earth made us like this?" She asked.
"I'm not sure, but you got here awfully quick. Didn't I tell you that you'd go fast?" He asked her with a sense of pride.
"Matt! This is not a time for jokes! We are mutant video game characters! Some people even saw me running, once the press finds out, they will be trying to hunt us down like were criminals!" Ashley yelled.
"And that's exactly why we can't let anyone know," Said a voice from behind them. They turned around to see a two tailed fox hovering right outside Matt's window.
"Matt...what is that thing?" Ashley whispered to him.
"That Tails, I wonder if that's Nick," He whispered back.
"Hehe, you guys are good," Said Nick. Matt ran over and pulled him inside his room.
"Get in here before someone sees you outside my house!" Matt said to him.
"Hehe, sorry, guess I didn't think," Nick said embarrassed.
"So it is you? Nick, you're the smartest person we know, do you know what made of this way?" Matt asked him.
"Well I have discovered this, see what happens when you take your ring off," Nick explained.
"Ring? What ring?" Ashley asked. Nick pointed to his hand, and Ashley looked at hers.
"The mood rings from last night? What do they have to do with anything?" Matt asked.
"Just take em off, you'll see," Nick told them. The 3 friends all took their rings off at the same time. And within second, they were back to their normal, human selves.
"That was weird,"Ashley said. "It's like I felt everything go back to the way it's supposed to, but I didn't feel a thing."
"That's what I thought the first time I took mine off this morning," Nick answered.
"So why would these rings we got at the movie theater turn us into people from Sonic the Hedgehog?" Matt asked.
"I'm not sure, but I will try to figure it out," Nick told them. Nick was a really smart guy. He could do almost any math problem in his head. He also knew a lot about science and other subjects, so they hoped his knowledge would come to their advantage.
"For some reason, I have a sudden urge to...run." Matt said calmly.
"Yeah and I really wanna go shopping!" Ashley exclaimed.
"Well I guess the ring hasn't changed you too much then huh Ashley." Nick asked. That's when they remembered.
"EMILY!" They all screamed at once.
"We have to go see if she has gotten changed too," Matt said. And with that, they were off. Matt and Ashley running like the speedy hogs they had become, and Nick flying with his newly gained powers. Once they got to her house, the snuck around back, making sure not to be seen by her neighbors.
"Nick, fly up and tap on her window, she's probably sleeping still," Matt told him.
"Alright," Nick said as he flew up to her window. "She looks like a rabbit. Witch one is that Matt?"
"That's Cream. So She's Cream, but she doesn't even know it yet." Matt said. Nick taped on her window just enough to wake her up. She opened her eyes and couldn't believe them.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" Emily screamed as she saw a two tailed fox, flying outside of her window.
"Emily! Shhhhhhhhhh. It's me, Nick!" He said to her through the window.
"What the hell are you!" She yelled.
"Emily!" Nick screamed to her. "Shut your mouth for a minute and take a look in the mirror!" She turned to her left and couldn't believe what she saw standing in her mirror. There was complete silence for about 30 seconds, as she looked over herself in her mirror, not believing anything she saw.
"I...must...be dreaming..." She told herself outloud.
"Emily...It's us. Your not dreaming," Nick told her.
"What is wrong with us Nick?" She asked him. "Why are we like mutated animals."
"We will explain everything if you come with us. But hurry, we don't want anyone to see us," He told her. She climbed out of her window and Nick flew them down safely.
" Is that Matt?" She asked pointing to the blue hedgehog. "And your Ashley then."
"Yeah it's us. We will explain everything in a while but we gotta get out of here before anyone sees us," Matt told her. They were about to walk away when they were stopped by a voice from behind.
"Hold it right there. Where do you think you 4 are going?" The voice asked. They turned around, and were shocked by what they saw...
