Hello there guys! This is my first time to be posting an actual fanfiction...now go easy on me...I'm sort of a newbie..

DISCLAIMER: I don't own the characters, they belong to their rightful owners. I only own the plot.

Upon from hearing this exciting news, that I have been waiting for in my entire life. I squealed. Not like a pig or anything, but in excitement. I am so happy, that I can just sing or dance around. Well you see, the reason why I am getting excited is because, I just found out that I am getting adopted by a family.

Oh right, my name is Amelia Ann Rosetta, and I am currently sixteen years old. I have been an orphan for the past ten years. To be honest, I am not really that sad about being an orphan, since I do not know that much about my parents.

All I know is that my late father, was involved with gangs and was killed in a shooting. My mother died of lung cancer, when I was only six years old. I actually miss my mother since I can only remember her for such a short time. I didn't have any other relatives that I can stay with, so I was forced to live on the streets.

I was out there, fending for myself. I would always sit on the sidewalk, and just hope that a person would take me in. But nobody wouldn't, all they would do is take one glance at me, and walk on. As if, I am a small child that is looking for her parents. After a month of being on the streets, I was tired, hungry, and getting close to being desperate. One day, just I was about to give up hope, an old man came up to me. I remembered, I looked at him with such hope in my eyes.

And finally, somebody took me in.

The old man took good care of me for about a good two years. That is until, he passed away with a heart attack. I found his death heart breaking, because he was like the father I never had.

Once again, I was on the streets.

When I was at the age of ten, this lady who works for an orphanage found me, and took me to that exact orphanage. Which is the place that I am standing in right now.

The orphanage here is very lovely, people are nice and I actually made a few friends. Although, I do get a bit sadden when I see them go away with their new family, but happy that they actually got adopted.

Speaking of that I wondered if this new family is nice. I shuddered at the thought of an abusive family, I could always run away….

No Amelia, you must not think of those things. I told myself.

Besides, today is my special day.

I finished packing and walked out the door, only to meet with a set of stairs.

"Aww man…" I muttered, not wanting to go through with this mess.

Here I go….

Taking the first step down with the suitcase trailing behind me, I thought I was doing so good at that moment….

Till I fell down the stairs.

"AHHH!" I screamed, while falling down to my doom. Finally reaching the end, I groaned in pain. Ugh...NEVER AGAIN..

I couldn't even voice my next thoughts, because I heard a deep chuckle behind me. Turning my head, I see….

Shadow.

Shadow the Hedgehog, is one of my closest friends here, he's actually like a brother to me. When he first came here, he didn't want to talk to anybody, and he had such a cold attitude. But I decided to try and at least be his friend, it didn't went so well at first. But after awhile he got used to me, and we became friends.

"It's not funny," I pouted, getting up and dusted myself.

But the meanie would not stop laughing his head off. Chaos, why does he have to be so mean today?

"You know, you could have asked for help, right?" the black hedgehog smirked at me. Not wanting to lose my pride, I merely told him that I had it under control...only for him to laugh at me again.

Had it enough, I screamed, "Jerk!" and walked off..only to forget a certain something.

"Hey Rose," his deep familiar voice called out.

"What?!" I growled out, turning around only to find Shadow standing with my suitcase…..at the end of the stairs.I could only gaped at him, until my face flushed in embarrassment and I quickly walked up to him, and snatched my suitcase. I muttered some things in embarrassment and about to run off when he called my name again.

"What?" I questioned. The meanie coughed for a second and pulled me into a friendly hug. "Take care of yourself Rose, okay?" I nodded happily, knowing that Shadow wasn't the one for hugs, I'm guessing that this was a special moment.

"I'll see you soon, Shadz!" I called out and walked away, I heard him muttering something but I couldn't make out what he said.

I finally arrived in the main room, and looked around for my so called family. Although, that was interrupted when I felt something hugging my legs. I looked down, and I swear I thought I was going to die of the sight of that adorableness.

A little rabbit who looked around the age of ten, was hugging my legs and she was staring up at me. "Is this her?!" I heard her adorable voice called.

I was confused at first, until I realized what she had meant. "Cream..!" I heard another voice called and I looked up and see a woman who looks identical to the little girl. This must be her mother...I thought.

The woman smiled at me, and I swear I thought I was going to faint. Why does her smile seems so..familiar with me? I shrugged off that thought and smiled warmly at the older rabbit.

"You must be Amelia," she started, and I nodded in response, "I'm Vanila, it's a pleasure to meet you." she gushed. Suddenly remembering my manners, I bowed in respect to her.

I hear laughter, and my cheeks flushed in embarrassment at my sudden action. "There is no need, sweet heart," she smiled at me. "I already have the papers filled out, so we are good to go!"

"YAY! WE'RE STAYING WITH HER!" the little girl who was hugging my legs, suddenly screamed. I looked down at her in surprise, I seriously forgot that she was right there.

Miss Vanilla frowned, "Cream…" she started to scold her younger daughter about her actions. The ten year old rabbit smiled sheepishly and apologized for her sudden outburst. But..throughout this entire thing, I was smiling. Smiling that I may have hope that…

I may just like my new family…
