Sonic, Tails and Knuckles saw you a while back. You were watching them, while trying to stay hidden, as if you didn’t want them to see you.
However, they all noticed you and, seeing you were like them, tried to talk to you. You disappeared before they got the chance, though.
Although, a few hours ago, they found you again during one of their camping trips with Maddie and Tom, and managed to catch you.
Seeing how you were young, possibly younger than Tails, and, how you were a hedgehog, Sonic immediately wanted to be friends with you. Or, better yet, be like your older brother. I mean, he may as well be.
They convinced you to trust them, at least, for now, and brought you over to Maddie and Tom. After a bit of talking, with you explaining what needed to be explained, and everything like that, they decided to adopt you the same way they had with the others.
They brought you to their house, and Sonic hurriedly took you to the attic. Aka, their bedroom. Tails and Knuckles followed close behind.
Sonic showed you around, then grinned at you before showing you to a bing bag.
Sonic: “Okay, you’re gonna sleep there until we find an actual place for you to sleep, mmk?”
Tails: “Yeah! They’ll get you somewhere to sleep as soon as they can!”
