Hey guys! AnimeHopeLove here, and welcome to the second chapter! This stories plot will be quite a lot different in how she is recruited by the Cooper Gang, so it will take a few more chapters till she meets/sees them, unlike in the other one. So allons-y into the story!

"Rise and shine kids!" A voice exclaimed sarcastically. "Get up!"

Groans were heard from around the room as children stirred, sitting up and yawning groggily. Only one stayed asleep, with it's covers drawn up over it's face.

"Come on!" The voice again exclaimed, walking over to the asleep child and pulling the covers off her, revealing a grey raccoon by the name of Jasmine. The raccoon yawned, stretching and looking around. "Morning already...?" She growled, sitting up slowly and pulling a furry hand through her messy black bed hair. She slowly stood up, stretching her arms and legs with bleary eyes. Why did they have to wake up so damn early?

"Breakfast is in 10!" The voice -which belonged to a fat crocodile- announced, before walking out and down the stairs. Oh yeah, thats why.

Jasmine, went into the drawers beside her bed, grabbing a random t-shirt along with her blue jacket and some tan shorts. She started walking to the shared bathroom when she was pushed out of the way by a lion. "Hey!" She growled. "What d'ya think your doing?"

"Nothing." The lion chuckled rudely, walking into the bathroom and slamming the door.

"Rude little shit." Jasmine muttered under her breath, waiting for her turn to change. That was how most of the kids at the orphanage were. Rude, mean, annoying, the total opposite of what people would want to adopt. But Jasmine knew she wasn't the innocent one. She was rude. She was brought up that way, ever since she was dropped off at this stupid place at the age of 4. She hated the rickety old place, and knew she was going to be stuck there until she was 18 and was forced to leave. But for some reason, that never worried her. It just gave her a reason to keep going.

Only 4 more years, she would tell herself. Then I can leave this stinking dump.

The lion opened the door, and Jasmine walked in, pushing a cat who tried to get in before her out of the way. She closed the door, leaning on it with a sigh. "Stupid place."

Jasmine changed into her clothes, leaning on the door for a bit longer, before walking out, pushing through the now crowded hallway. She walked back into the main bedroom all of the girls in the orphanage shared, grabbing a pair of fingerless gloves and sitting on her bed, looking at them with a sigh.

They were her mother's. These, along with her canes, were the only things left to remember her mother by. She couldn't even remember that much. A soft voice before she went to sleep, a hand grasping hers as they walked across the street. Those small memories are what she held onto, those that remains of her family. She slipped them on, the cool black leather brushing against her fur. She put the two canes in her school bag, as well as all her homework (That stuff she never does) and went down to breakfast.

Sly groaned, stretching his legs from his position of sitting at a desk. He was reading the Thievius Raccoonus through again, from start to finish. Sly was fascinated by his ancestors accomplishments, and loved reading his family's book over and over. He was currently reading through Tennessee 'Kid' Cooper's part of the book, and was intrigued by how he created the rail slide.

Sly looked around the safehouse, wondering what Bentley and Murray were doing. Bentley was obviously on his computer, looking up... Something. He looked rather confused at the moment, but Sly shook his head and looked over towards his other friend. Murray was playing on the game system as this happened, happily beating other online players with his skill as he sat on the couch.

"Sly, I found something interesting." Bentley announced, turning his spinning chair around to face Sly's direction. "You might want to come and see this." Sly nodded, standing up and walking slowly over.

"Whats so interesting Bentley?" He asked, leaning on the desk where Bentley's laptop was sat.

"That orphanage, the one with the woman running it whose family used to be thieves." His friend started. "I found something strange in the database you might want to see." Bentley tilted his laptops screen so Sly could see the page he was looking at. It had the files of one of the children at the orphanage. Sly leaned in, beginning to read the page.

And he couldn't believe what he saw.

There we go, first actual chapter. We find a bit more out about Jasmine, and Sly finds something out! I think we all know what it is though... If you liked this, review, favorite, or follow as that shows you like this and would like more chapters it helps me greatly. Note for you all though, I am updating very quickly because I've had a spurt of ideas, and once that is done, I will be updating much slower. Anyway, have a good day, and I will see you next time! Note for you all though, I am updating very quickly because I've had a spurt of ideas, and once that is done, I will be updating much slower.
