Ok I don't own the name Persephone it belongs to greek mythology The name Tootie belongs to Butch Hartman the creator of FOP. I don't own the names but I own the characters.
"Ok everyone time to get up." A maid in the orphanage called banging a spoon on a pan. "It's adoption day!"
The kids groaned and got out of bed. After breakfast Sly and Bentley walked to the bathroom with Murray. Bentley picked up a toothpaste tube.
"I hope they didn't put any tomatoes in this new toothpaste. I'm allergic to tomatoes."
Sly gave him a weird look.
"Why would they put tomatoes in toothpaste?" he asked.
"It doesn't make any sense!" Murray added.
"I'm just being careful." replied Bentley.
They finished brushing their teeth and went back to their bed. 10 minutes later a couple came in and looked at them.
"Missa look at them." Karel told his wife.
"They're so cute." she responded.
"Well let's ask our daughter Persephone which one she wants."
"Persephe!" Karel called.
The three of them were struck with fear. They would probably be separated after 'Persephe' made her choice.
"Yes?" she asked. A beautiful bandicoot with blonde hair and blue eyes came in the room, London and this mouse girl with her.
"Which of these boys would you like to adopt?"her father motioned to the room.
"Those three." she pointed at them.
"But dear we already have the two girls." her mother reasoned.
"You don't love me!" she said.
"Ok we'll take all three of them." her father said.
"What are your names?" Persephe asked.
"I'm Sly and this Bentley and Murray."
"I'm Persephone or Persephe for short. These are your new sisters. She pointed to London.
"Her because we can have her model for "Clowns" magazine."
She pointed to the mouse girl with pigtails and a dress.
"That's Tootie. She's six and very cute."
Murray bit back a laugh.
"How old are you?" Sly asked.
"Thirteen."she answered.
They walked to the adoption counter.
"Are you sure you want to adopt all five of them." the clerk answered.
"Yes we like big families." Karl answered.
"Ok sign here and here." the clerk said.
Both parents signed the papers and walked out the door.
"Ok we need to arrange car seats." said Missa. "Your father and I sit in the front of the Van. Persephe you and Murray sit in the next two seats. London and Sly you two sit way in back and Tootie will sit in the middle seat between you two because she needs a car seat."
"What about me?" Bentley asked.
"Get into your shell and ride in the storage space." Missa answered.
'Stupid turtle.' she thought.'Maybe I'll be able to sign him up for adoption.'
Bentley looked like he was going to cry and did as he was told.
They started the drive home.
