"Ohhhh Knuxie, that's the third rejection this week for a spot on a cartooning team.." A purple hedgehog whined, draped over an irritated red echidna's shoulders as they both made their way past Twinkle Park, into downtown. The violet hog, also known as Bashamo (or 'Ash' as she preferred) was from Neon Speedway, and she had came to Station Square over a month ago. She was a profound 15 year old artist who made her living doing sketches of others. Almost immediately, she had run into and made friends with Miles "Tails" Prower, and was now on good terms with his friends.
However, so far, all of her attempts at becoming famous were hopeless. No calls back, no letters. She made her grief and disappointment /very/ well known to her newfound friends.
"What am I going to do?" Ash complained, leaning against Knuckles the Echidna as they passed a diner. "What if I never get a job, and become some kind of... bum?" She shivered visibly, oblivious to Knuckles' obvious displeasure.
"You won't become a bum!!" The echidna bit his tongue to keep from mouthing off. She was really testing his patience--but he knew if Tails found out that he yelled at her, the fox would hold a grudge against him for eons. Surprisingly, Tails and Ash were very close. They just... gravitated towards each other for some reason, as if they were siblings. It puzzled him, although he wasn't much for overthinking things (obviously).
"You think so?" She sadly glanced over at him; it was then he noticed that they /were/ walking in a rather odd way. She had her arms around his shoulders from behind, her head resting on one of those arms and was pushing him along slightly.
"Y-yes." He let out a sigh. "... Hey, I have an idea."
"What is it, Knuxie-bee?"
Knuckles flinched. "... You should do a sketch of Sonic. Make it really professional. Then he'll see it, and it'll gain popularity and it might end up on the news." He stopped, crossing his arms and nodding knowingly. Ash's eyes widened slightly as a mischevious grin spread across her face. "That's.. that's a brilliant idea, Knuxie!!" She exclaimed, pulling away from him quickly and balling up her fists, gazing up at the clear blue sky with sparkling royal purple eyes. "I can get famous in no time by doing that! I have to tell Ames this!! Oh, Knuxie, I could kiss you!" She turned to his back just as the echidna's face turned redder than his fur and gave him a half bear hug, half throttling, and planted a kiss on one of his spines. Then, quicker than lightning, she zoomed towards Casinopolis. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMES!! SOOOOOOOOOOOONIC!! YOU TOO, TAILSYYY!!"
Knuckles turned his head and stared after her with wide, disbelieving eyes, unsure whether to double over laughing or be frightened.
He chuckled and glided off towards the train station. "What a nutball.."
