Ch.1:Meet the Neighbors!
"Silver, are you just about ready. The new tenants are coming in soon and we want to give them the best welcome ever."
"In a minute Nana!"
Today was the day that the new tenants arrived; the ones that I, Nana and Papa personally picked months before. We all had different ideas on what kind of neighbors we would have. Nana wanted those who were sweet; ladies specifically her age that she can socialize with. Papa wanted guys his age that he could share his interests in with, and maybe do his fancy trucker talk over his CB radio he keeps in the den. I personally wanted kids my age that I could hang with and not be so bored. I'm going to start my first year in college, and making new friends would be a good start. My grandparents ran a boarding house call Green Hill Creek; it was right across the street from the grocers and next to a comic book shop. It was in a nice little neighborhood in the middle of Chicago, one of the busiest cities ever. This boarding house was my home for many years, but I hadn't always lived here. Years before, when I was maybe 5 or 6, I lived with my parents in a different city. They were sweet, loving, and always looking out for me and my little sister Shelly. One night, on their way home from a date night, they got t-boned by a drunk driver in a pickup and was killed on impact, that's what my Nana told me when I was old enough to fully understand. Since there were no other relatives closer to us, our grandparents immediately took us in. For months, I felt pain in my heart, and the only words that filled my little head were, 'Mama and Daddy are dead.' I couldn't eat nor did sleep and my Nana begin to worry that I may have an episode or something. A few more months passed, and I accepted the fact that my parents were gone and in a better place. I moved on with my life and took on the responsibilities of being an older brother and taking care of my little sister Shelly, who was only a mere baby when our parents passed. Shelly didn't know much about mom or dad, so I was there to answer all the questions she had to ask, with the help of my grandparents.

"Silvy, what did mommy and Daddy look like?" Shelly would ask. I would sit next to her flipping through one of Nana's photo albums and point out one particular picture to her.
"They looked like this Shel. See, that's mom," the beautiful silver haired hedgehog with the violet colored eyes. Her long hair flowing in the wind. "And that's dad." The handsome black haired hedgehog with the golden eyes. His spines turned upright, and white chest fur like mine. "This is them on their wedding day."
Mom and Dad had an outdoor wedding in the country; it was a beautiful one. The wedding altar was set up on the green plains decorated with violets and yellow daisies. Mom wore and elegant vintage style wedding dress that was covered with lace from head to toe. Her head adorned a matching veil upon her locks that were pinned into a messy bun with strands falling here and there. Dad wore a white tux with black accents on the collar and cuffs; a violet was pinned against his jacket. The picture was taken after the wedding ceremony and before the reception, they stood under one of the arches in the middle of the makeshift wedding aisle, each had their hands placed upon one another as they stood to the side facing the camera. Both my parents shared a warm and tender smile upon their muzzles.
"Mommy looks pwetty Silvy."
"She does, doesn't she."
Shelly soon took notice of another picture and pointed her little figure at it, "Look big brother, it's me!" Sure enough it was her, but as a baby. She looked content in my mother's warm arms; mom looking down at her as if she was a gift from God.

I pulled my green pullover hoodie over my head as I walked out the door to my bedroom, and down the mini flight of stairs to the main hallway. I stepped down the main flight of stairs and made my way into the living room. There Nana, Papa and Shelly were putting the finishing touches on the decorations. Shelly noticed my presence and walked towards me to give a hug.
"Look big brother, don't the decorations look pretty. Me and Nana worked on them together, well I did most of the work. Nana was more busy with prepping the food."
"It looks pretty sis," I patted the top of her head, and she responded my clapping like a young child.

Thought I get this idea out of my head and typed up before it is lost completely in a jumble of a mess I call my head. Anyways, yes it is another Sonic fic, I have no idea why I am so addicted but I am. And it kind of corresponds with The Life of a Mobian because the backstories of some characters are similar, but just in a different setting.
This is a parody, or whatever you call it of an old 90s show that I know all the 90s kids watched, and it's on air now. But I'll let you viewers guess what the show is. Want to get you thinking X3
Anyways, enjoy! X3
