"Momma , momma ! I want this one! !" I called out jumping up and down. I was five years old, my family and I were on vacation visiting a famous cave filled with gems on all the walls. I was calling my mom from the other side of a gift shop near the gem filled cave. I could hear the scuffling of her tennis shoes as she walked over to me.

"It looks like a emerald from Sonic X!"

"That's really pretty ,honey. But isn't there anything else you like besides that clunky rock?" She asked her green eyes peering down at my brown ones.

"No!! I want this one! It's a Chaos Emerald!" I pouted crossing my arms, my lower lip out.

"If that's what you really want "

"Yay!" I said jumping up and down again, little did I know that rock would change me later on in the future.

Nine years later

"Mom! I need your help, I can't find my shoes!" I called from my room. I crawled on my knees to look under the bed , but found nothing but dust bunnies.

"Gabby, I don't keep up with your things." I heard her shout. I sighed the library was going to close in fifteen minutes , I had some new books in and didn't want to wait till Monday.

"I think Buster found them." I heard my dad saying downstairs. I groaned as I ran down the carpeted stairs to find my dad holding a slobbery , ripped shoe.

"Next time don't leave them outside." He said chuckling as my German Shepherd Buster walked in with my other shoe in his mouth.

"Buster!! Man , now I'm going to have to wait till Monday!" I groaned.

"Okay, okay you can wear your flip-flops on your bike but just for today." My mom said sighing.

"Not everybody gets a fourteen year old that loves reading." My dad reminded my mom as he wrapped his arm around her waist. I ran back upstairs snatched my flip-flops and ran back down stairs to the garage to pull out my bike and peddled as fast as I could . I made it just as they were about to close , I came back home smiling my nap sack bulging.

"I'm back!" I called out into the house , struggling with my bag.

"We're in the living room honey. We have company. This is our daughter we were mentioning to you earlier." I heard my dad saying , then obnoxious laughing. I left my bag on the kitchen table , quickly ran my fingers through my hair and continued to the living room. I nearly jumped back when I saw our guest. I must admit I'm a big Sonic the Hedgehog fan, I own nearly every game in existence. So when I saw the guest in my couch, I wanted to run back to the safe haven of the library .

" This is our daughter Gabriela. Gabby this is Dr. Magegn (A/N: Its Eggman but the letters are moved around.) He studies semi-precious gems like the one at the cave we visited when you where five. And these are his two assistants Shane and Rossalyn." My mom said , the man was round wore a red jacket with gold buttons and had black eye glasses.

A guy and a girl were sitting next to him, Rossalyn had long hair ,so blond that it almost looked white. Shane had jet black hair with red highlights down to his neck, he was wearing a black leather jacket and white t-shirt and blue jeans. But the thing I noticed was that Rossalyn had purple eyes and Shane had deep red eyes. I was speechless Dr. Magegn looked exactly like Dr. Eggman, Shane and Rossalyn looked kinda like Shadow and rouge. I didn't know what to say, but I immediately walked out of the room ,what I really wanted was to get out of the town.

"I don't know what's wrong with her. I'll be right back." I heard my mom say as she got up.

"What is wrong with you?" She asked once we were in the kitchen.

"N...nothing. It's just that Dr. Magegn looks just like a character from one of my Sonic games ,so do his assistants." I said shyly looking at the ground knowing my mom was going to think I was crazy.

"Is that it? Gabriela! Sonic the hedgehog and all the other silly characters in that game are not real , I want you to go back there and apologize."

"But mom!" She just pointed her finger towards the living room, meaning go or never leave the house again. I marched back in trying to smile.

"Are you all right , Gabriela?" Dr. Magegn asked standing up.

"I … I'm fine. I'm sorry for leaving the room , I was a little bit surprised that's all." I said feeling uncomfortable that Shane was glaring at me. I shifted my feet looking at the ground.

"That's quiet fine dear. I understand perfectly. Now your parents are telling me you bought a red gem at the gift shop. I believe that you have the actual gem and not the fake that was supposed to be sold . So if you would be so kind to get it for me dear , that would be splendid." He said firmly. My red stone was in my pocket that moment and I wasn't about to give it up, especially If he really is Dr. Eggman that would mean … my red emerald really was a Chaos Emerald.

"I…I don't know where it is?" I said quickly ,my heart racing.

"Oh? Would you please look at some of the places you might have misplaced it."

"Yeah…Umm sure. I…I'll go check in my room." I said before running up to my room. I put my hand in my pocket the Emerald was cool to the touch as I pulled it out when I got to my room. I made sure the door was closed and locked as I paced the floor.

"Okay, Dr. Eggman , Shadow the Hedgehog and Rouge the Bat are in you living room with your parents. And he wants your Chaos Emerald. What am I supposed to do ?!!"I said to myself , I suddenly jumped when there was a knock on my door.

"Are you alright?" A dark voice said. I froze. That had to be Shadow's voice it had to be! Dr. Eggman must have sent him to check on me. I continued to be quiet. My eyes widened, I had to hide fast. I ducked into my closet closing the door on me. I felt around the back to find a small knob, It lead to all of the rooms in the house. My parents didn't know about it so I would be safe, I nearly screamed when I heard the bedroom door was kicked down. I quickly closed the entrance to the secret pathway and headed to the secret path to the living room scared for my parents.
