    El happily skipped down the sidewalk of the town he lived in. The small boy looked so happy, without a care in the whole wide world. He had shining blonde hair, golden eyes, a very pale complexion, a tall, slim build, and a shining smile adorning his visage. He wore tight, ripped up jeans, a worn yellow hoodie with the hood pulled down, and bright blue sneakers.
    He hummed a cheerful tune as he approched the orphanage. Yeah, that's where he lived. That's where he was raised. I know what you're thinking; how could he be an orphan and still be oh so very cheerful? Well, my dear whoever, it's because he had hope. He had one shimmering shard of hope left, hope that someday he would be adopted by a wonderful family and have a wonderful life after that. He never thought about the possibility that he could die waiting, because if he did that, well, his shard of hope would shatter. But why shatter, really, that'd make a bunch of tiny speckles of shards of hope, so intead let's say his shard of hope would vanish quite completely.
    Well, El skipped into his room. It wasn't really quite big, and it wasn't really quite, well, comfortable, but it was his room. Hey, he was glad he had a room at all. He sat on his bed and pulled a bar of chocolate out of his hoodie's pocket. He had gotten it free from the manager of the candy store because the man just felt so sorry for him. He smiled as he unwrapped it and started eating.

    Julie smiled and walked towards the orphanage, looking to adopt a son or daughter. She had a slim build, with brown hair that had natural highlights, she wore jeans, and a cute top. Julie had light brown eyes, and today, they looked bright, and well, happy. She wore a cute necklace that had a dolphin charm. Julie was a nice and caring adult, she was single, but still wanted to adopt a child. She stepped towards the reception and smiled, "Good morning," she started, "I'm Julie Reeds." Julie smiled before continuing, "I'm here to adopt a child, one who's full of hope, and very nice."

    "I believe we have one single little boy who has both those traits," The receptionist said. "Would you like to see him?" She added, rifling through some papers idly.

    Julie smiled and nodded, "Yes please." Her voice was cheery and happy, she was excited to adopt a little boy who was very nice. Julie blinked her brown eyes and continued smiling, she couldn't wait! The woman wondered if the boy would like her, and if they'd become close.

    "Okay, I'll go get him," She said before walking off. She knocked on the door to El's room.
    "Come in," he said after swallowing a big bite of chocolate. She walking into his room.
    "Someone's here to adopt you," She said. He looked at her, wide-eyed, then jumped to his feet and ran out the room, smiling. The receptionist followed.

    Julie smiled as she waited, in a few minutes, she watched a little boy running towards the counter, where she was standing. The nice woman continued smiling, brown eyes, warm, and welcoming. She knelt down and continued smiling warmly.

    He skidded to a halt in front of her. "Is this who's gonna be adopting me?" He asked excitedly, looking at Julie, wide-eyed.
    "Yes." The receptionist said, walking over to them. El smiled brightly.

    Julie smiled and gave El a warm hug, "I'm Julie, I'll be adopting you today." Her voice was sweet, and calming, "What's your name, my dear?" The nice woman had already filled out the papers, and was ready to take him home.

    "My name's El. Short for Elliott." He said, hugging her back tightly. He.was so excited he could barely breathe

    Julie smiled and stood up, grabbing her adopted son's hand, and leading him to her car, which was a blue mercedes. "Thank you!" she called to the reception lady before she continued taking him to the car. The nice woman turned to her son and asked, "Want to get some new clothes, and food you like before we go home?" She was still smiling.





    [size=6pt](c) SourCandy[/size]

    "Sure," He said. He was a little dazed and could barely believe that he had been adopted

    He shook his head before getting into the car. He didn't really know any shops besides the candy store.

    Julie smiled and thought for a moment before closing the car door. She entered the car and then replied, "There's a nice store by my house. It has clothes for adults and kids, I think we might find something for you there." The woman started the car, and started driving to the store.

    El glanced out the window as they drove away from the orphanage. He grinned as the orphanage became farther and farther away from him.

    Julie smiled gently and continued driving. After about 10 to 15 minutes, they arrived. She opened her door, and stepped out, carefully closing it afterwards. The new mother opened the door for El and added in her gentle voice, "We're here, if you see anything you like, don't be afraid to ask."





    [size=6pt](c) SourCandy[/size]

    He nodded and got out of the car. He glanced at her, then at the store.

    Julie smiled at her son, and held his hand as they walked to the store. "So, tell me about yourself," his mother started as she continued smiling.
