(Y/n) POV
I slowly rise up at the sound of other kids yelling and laughing and making all sorts of noises, I rubbed my eyes and still unable to wake up, I didn't get much sleep last night because I was really excited for Clearance day...CLEARANCE DAY!? I jolted up and rushed out of my bed as the realization hit me, I'm getting adopted today! Well...I hope. I went to wake up Shay that was still asleep, looks like he didn't get much sleep either, I shook him awake "Shay! Shay! Wake uuuppp!" I yelled trying to not have my voice drowned out by the kid's voices, "huh??..oh what??" He rubbed his eyes still not realizing what's going on "We need to get ready, the adopters are coming soon! Get up we need to get changed!" I drag him out of bed trying to keep him from stumbling over since he was only half awake. After washing, I help Shay pick out his clothes before I picked mine, we picked a red sweater, some blue jeans and suspenders to go along with them, I gave it to him so he can go change. I looked in my closet for what I'm gonna wear, I picked a (F/c) hoodie with some (S/f/c) socks and shiny black shoes,
and some neat overalls to finish off the look. I went downstairs with a backpack full of my stuff already packed, I stand up on one of the tables looking around for Shay in the sea of children but as I'm looking I feel a tap on my shoulder, I flinch thinking I'm going to get scolded by a caretaker for standing on a table, instead I was greeted with Shay holding walkie talkie to my face, "Look what I got!" He said in a sing songy tone handing me one of the pair of walkie talkies he had, "hey where'd you get those??" "Found them" he says but I skeptically squint my eyes at him demanding a clearer answer, he recoils and says "well...I snuck out last night into Ms.Winston's office and found them", "Why though?" I asked "well if we get adopted to different families we'll need to keep in touch, we don't have phones y'know! Now hide it, Winston's looking." He whispered that last part, so I shove the thing into my bag. We pass time by playing in the play area, as adopters come and kids go we exchange hugs and goodbyes, soon enough, the kids in the orphanage lessened and lessened, and so did our hope for this year, I'm quietly sitting playing with a toy as I notice that Shay wasn't around me? "Shay??" I yell walking through the sea of potential-parents and kids, I looked and looked and I couldn't find him..."he...left?" I whisper to my self as I feel my eyes sting from tears finding myself missing my best friend, "(Y/n)! (Y/n)!" I look up to see a small figure running towards me as he pounces on me for a hug "I'm leaving, I'm adopted!" He says out of breath from running, I'm shocked at what I hear, I feel a mix of excitement and sadness swirl inside me, I look at him for a moment then pull him in what could be our last hug, "Where are your new parents?" He points at two men, one of them waves at me while the other seems to be doing some paper work with the secretary, I wave back and look at Shay once again, "Well, guess it's time to go, good luck buddy." I ruffle his hair and he whines "aww, don't make it all sad! We'll still be in touch, just use the walkie talkie!" I chuckled we exchanged bye byes and one last hug before he ran to his two new dads, we wave at each other one last time. (Okay I know you're probably sick of Shay and (Y/n) but bare with me the eddsworld crew are coming now). It's currently 9 in the pm and now I'm alone with the few kids unlucky kids like myself , I've lost hope at this point and I was convinced that this year wasn't the one, for me at least. Then I hear the orphanage gates open, I'm too distracted by my own thoughts to notice who walked in, it's been 25 minutes and I'm about to fall asleep until I hear a polite "excuse me, are you okay little miss what's your name?" I look up at the owner of that soft voice, who was a brunette man with hazel eyes and a bright green hoodie, I sit up immediately "this is my chance!" I alert myself, " (Y/n) (L/n), what's your name?" I replied, he chuckles "That's a lovely name, I'm Edd!". We sit and chat together about things, it was going great, apparently we both like drawing, and he has 3 other house mates. Speaking of house mates and houses, Edd says the thing that I've awaited to hear my whole life since the day I stepped foot in this orphanage, "(Y/n) would you like to come with me? I'll adopt you." He smiles at me and almost started crying because I squealed and jumped around only to remain my composure again kinda embarrassed, he just giggles and we walk up to the desk lady to sign up papers for my adoption, after he's done he simply looks at me and squeals, I squeal too and we share a hug, then walk back to his car. The ride was quiet and peaceful, I then proceed to pull out my walkie talkie, Edd looks over and curiously asks "Where'd you get this from?" "My best friend Shay gave this to me before he left so we can talk together, he lives with two men now" I replied pressing the button on the thing "Hello?" I intently wait for a reply "Test Test" I smiled as I heard my best friend's voice from the other side, Edd seemed to be onto this too "How is your new home?" I asked " I love it! Papa Pau and Daddy pat are very nice to me." He happily stated "wait, are you in a car? You sound like you're in a car? Did you get adopted!?" He wonders "Yup! I'm going home with Mama Eddie tonight!" I hear Edd lightly chuckle at the nickname "Mama Eddie?? Ohhh cool!" Shay awed "anyway, I have to go now, bye (Y/n)!" "Bye!" I clicked the device and shoved it into my bag, as I slowly drifted to sleep.Finally first official chapter 😅
Sorry if I focused too much on Shay's and (Y/n's) friendship, I'll try to focus more on (Y/n) and the Eddsworld crew next chapter!
