Patch and Jerry now looked around and saw what looked like bunch of stuff that a wizard would possibly need for a potion. There were many beakers and some had bubbling oddly colored liquid and there was a large and possibly very old book.
"Cool." Patch whispered before looking to see a ring box.
Jerry climbed up on top of Patch to get a better look, then saw the ring box as well. "Ooh~..." his eyes glowed to it.
Patch climbed on the table and decided to open the ring box to see if there was a ring in it. Jerry hopped onto the table and looked eager. They were close to opening the ring box and hopefully, no one would walk in and bust them. When they opened the ring box, they saw what kind of ring it was. A golden glow made them flinch slightly, but then they looked to see the ring up close. It was a golden ring with a red ruby gemstone on it that shined very nice and bright.
"Pretty~..." Jerry sounded drawn and captivated by the ring's beauty.
Patch held Jerry back before taking a closer look at the ring himself. Jerry seemed to wave his paws out, wanting to take the ring like he was Golumn from Lord of the Rings.
"I wonder why Chip has this ring down here with his wizard stuff." Patch said before he over heard the door about to be opened.
"Shiiinnnyy..." Jerry was still drawn to the ring.
Patch closed the ring box and then brought Jerry down and under the table with him.
"Aww..." Jerry pouted.
"Shh, we have to be quiet, it could be Chip." Patch whispered.
Jerry pouted, but kept quiet as someone was on their way down the steps.
"Now, back to the potion I was working on." Chip said.
Patch and Jerry covered each other's mouths as Chip wandered to his basement and went straight to work. They were going to see a wizard in action and up close! But what did he have that ring for?
"Okay, now to... Wait, why is there a paw print on the top of my ring box?" Chip asked.
Patch and Jerry kept quiet, trying not to make a sound, they feared the worst, thinking Chip might be angry about that.
"Okay, Patch, Tom?" Chip asked. "Where are you two?"
Patch looked incredibly nervous then.
Chip looked under the table to see Patch and Jerry. "What are you two doing down here?" the wizard asked.
Patch and Jerry grinned nervously.
Chip face-palmed. "I knew the animals would get into trouble while I need to work on my latest potion..."
"So what's the ring for?" Patch asked.
Chip sighed, knowing he had no choice now. "It's very special..."
"Um, is it for someone you want to marry?" Patch asked curiously.
"What?! No, it's not an engagement ring, it's a magic ring." Chip told him.
"A magic ring?" Patch asked.
"Yes," Chip replied softly. "It has very magical powers and gives it to any one who wears it, even mortals."
"Well, what happens if someone other than you wears it?" Patch asked.
"It'll then give them the magical powers," Chip explained. "In the wrong hands it could be the end of the world as we know it! It was given to me by my father."
"Cool, um, w-would you mind if I tried it on for a little bit?" Patch asked.
Chip gave him a look. "This ring is off-limits, only a true magical being can sustain its magic and use it wisely and not abuse it!"
"Do see this dog tag on my collar?" Patch asked.
Chip took a closer look and lifted the collar a bit and leaned forward to get a closer look.
"This is actually my Equestrian medallion and my dog tag converted into one," Patch smiled. "I can still use it's magic."
"Hm... So I see..." Chip squinted his eyes. "Equestria, you say?"
"Surely a great and powerful wizard like you has heard of it." Patch insisted.
"Heard of it, but I thought it was just a myth." Chip replied.
"I assure you, that place is real and so is it's magic and all of the creatures that live there." Patch said.
"I'll have to check it out sometime." Chip took those words into good use.
"Okay, but please, don't frighten anyone in Equestria, they're really nice," Patch said. "So now can I put on your ring for a little bit?"
"Well... Okay... Just a little bit..." Chip then took out the ring and looked to his paws and realized a small flaw in this plan. "Uhh... You don't have any fingers..."
Patch then walked out from under the table before his medallion/Pound Puppy tag glowed, using it's magic as he began to glow too as he began to transform into his human form.
"Whoa..." Jerry whispered, he did not see that coming.
"Um... Wow..." Chip blinked at that. "Now then... Hold out your hand."
Patch did as told and then Chip slid the ring around Patch's new ring finger to fit it perfectly. He looked at it and then looked at many possible things to test it's magic on. Chip stepped back, only slightly though. Jerry looked jealous that Patch got to try on the ring. Patch continued to look around until he got the idea to possibly summon something with it's magic.
Jerry stayed hidden away, but he kept watching. Chip went off for a brief moment to check on his latest potion. Patch used the magic from the ring and where a big bone appeared in the room.
"Of course..." Chip deadpanned. "What else would a dog want?"
"Weird, this one seems to be older than one that I wanted," Patch said before starting to sniff it. "Is this a fossilized bone?"
Chip came over to the bone and decided to take a closer look at it. "Unless you got a dinosaur bone...?"
"A dinosaur bone?" Patch asked. "But aren't they underground?"
"That ring usually gives you what you really want as long as you wish for it." Chip said.
Jerry smacked his lips as he then had a thought bubble about using the ring himself and bringing himself a lifetime supply of
"The ring must have summoned this dinosaur bone as a sign." Patch said.
"It's a very special ring, my father said only someone truly responsible and worthy enough could behold it," Chip replied. "That's why he gave it to me."
"And he was right." Patch said as he tried to take it off.
"Here, let me get that, it can be tricky sometimes." Chip walked over, helping Patch get the ring off.
"Thanks." Patch smiled as Chip was able to get it off.
Once the magic ring was off, Patch flexed his fingers to make them well adjusted and comfortable again. Chip then put the ring right back where it belonged. Jerry was usually nice, but he had his eyes slit in determination: He was going to get that ring.
"By the way, Chip, can the ring make anyone who sees it to become determined to have it?" Patch asked while looking at Jerry.
"Not that I know of..." Chip was actually unsure.
"I just wanted to know, anyways, me and Jerry will get out of your hair." Patch said, metaphorically.
"Jerry?" Chip asked, then noticed the brown mouse was there.
Jerry chuckled nervously and waved. Patch then turned back into his puppy form and teleported both himself and Jerry out of the basement and into the living room. Chip nodded to that and went back to work.
"Jerry, you can't have the ring." Patch said.
"Did I say that?" Jerry smiled casually. "I don't think I did!"
"Jerry, I'm serious! Chip's father gave him that, it's his, and no one else, understand?" Patch asked.
"Oookay..." Jerry shrugged with a smile.
"I mean it, Jerry, stay away from that ring magic, it's nothing to be messed with." Patch growled.
"Why are you lookin' at me for?" Jerry looked away shyly.
Patch face-palmed, or in this case, face-pawed. "Just stay out of there."
"Oh, fine." Jerry pouted.
"Good..." Patch nodded to the mouse. "You've been very sneaky lately..."
"Lately?" Tom overheard that and came over to his fellow animals. "You should see him at home! He always finds a way to make the mouse trap I set out for him snap my tail!"
"Do you behind a corner to wait to listen to the trap go off?" Patch asked.
"Yeah, it's like you're there!" Tom replied.
Jerry giggled as he remembered those times.
"It's not funny, Mouse!" Tom glared.
"I'll tell you how he does it he just takes the mouse trap into his mouse hole and then brings it out to a mouse hole behind you and places it in front of your tail." Patch explained.
Tom folded his arms, growling at Jerry.
"I can't resist messing with you." Jerry said.
"Come here!" Tom started a chase.
"Ooh, time to bolt!" Jerry stood up and zipped off.
Tom growled and chased after Jerry.
"Here we go again." Patch sighed.
