Chapter 10: Back to Normal

Chris screams in agony as he begins to shrink back to normal size. After returning to his human self, he fell to his hands and knees and laid on the ground.

"Think he's okay?" Blaze asked.

"It's probably a trick. He might explode if we walk up to him," Hawkins joked.

Everyone stars at him. Hawkins looks around and smiles nervously.

"Uh...what happen?" Chris groaned.

"Christopher darling!" Lindsey runs over to Chris.

"Mom?" Chris asked.

Lindsey hugs the stuffing out of Chris.

"Oh my boy, I was so worried about you!!"

"That's great Mom, but can you hug a little more gently and not suffocate me!?" Chris asked in pain.

"We're just glad that you're back to normal," Nelson walks up to Chris and messes with his hair.

The whole crowd watches the family scene as Hawkins whispers something to Manic.

"Hey Manic, did you know...were that big?" Hawkins asked.

"They are!?" Manic asked.

"What are?" Sonia asked.

"Oh nothing!" Hawkins spoke.

"Hey Chris," Chuck walks up to Chris. "Guess who's here to see you."

Sonic walks up to him.

"Sonic?" Chris gasped.

"Hey, how's it going Chris?" Sonic asked as he gave him a thumbs up.

Chris, shaking, gets up, and walks up to Sonic.

"You came to see me?"

"You think I would forget an old friend of mine?" Sonic asked.

Bruce walks up next Sonic.

"We had to get it in his head to save you," he said.

"Shadow?" Chris wondered as he looked at Bruce.

"My name is not Shadow. I'm a clone of Shadow. Name's Bruce the Hedgehog," Bruce took out his hand.

Chris smiled and shook his hand. He then saw new faces in his home.

"Who are those people?"

"Chris, my friend, say hello a couple of my new friends," Sonic shows Chris. "This is Hawkins the Ultimate Fighter."

"What's up Chris?" Hawkins waved.

"Ultimate Fighter?" Chris wondered.

"Long story. His brother, forgot what his name is," Past Hawkins waves at Chris. "Hawkins' girlfriend, Chloe Scarlett," Chloe smiles at Chris. "Silver the Hedgehog. We met a fwe months ago."

"We finally meet face to face, Chris," Silver said.

"And Chris, these two are my brother and sister. Say hello to Manic and Sonia," Sonic said.

"What's up Chris?" Manic said.

"Nice meeting you," Sonia greeted.

"You never told me you had a brother and sister," Chris looked at Sonic.

"That's because I forgot about them for 2 years," Sonic shrugged.

Hawkins walks up to Chris.

"And Chris, here's a little piece of small info you should know," Hawkins said.

"What's that?"

"Although they won't admit it, Silver and Sonia actually love each other," Hawkins smiled.

"WE DO NOT!!" Silver and Sonia shouted at the same time.

"Then why is it every time I look around, I end up seeing you two holding hands or getting ready for the kissing?" Hawkins asked.

"Anyway," Sonic walks up to Chris. "This is Blaze, and she's my wife."

"You're married right now?" Chris became flabbergast.

"Long story again," Sonic said.

"Well, it's great to meet all of you. But what happen to me?" Chris wondered.

Everyone looks at each other.

"You ate a piece of strange mutant on your lunch a few days," Helen came up from behind Hawk's Pride.

"Well what do you know, she recovered!" Hawkins said all excited.

"Helen," Chris gasped.

"I smellz love coming in," Hawkins whispered to Sonic.

"Helen, about what happen before. I'm sorry I turned you down. I just didn't know what came over me," Chris said.

"It's okay Chris, I accept your apology," Helen said.

"And Helen, there's something I wanted to say to you last week."

"Here it comes," Hawkins said.

"Steady," Past Hawkins whispered to him.

Chris takes out a small box.

"Will you marry me?" he asked.

Helen gasps at this.

"I loved to!"

Everyone cheers as Hawkins wipes a tear off his face. All of the sudden, police cars ride into the scene from every direction. Policemen come out with their guns ready.

"Oh great, the cavalry is here," Hawkins grunted.

"Christopher Thorndyke, You are hereby under arrest for wreaking havoc on Station Square! Come out with your hands up!!" the policeman ordered.
