My first story to be posted in the Sonic section, and I'm excited! So let's get on with it! Take 'em to the disclaimer F 'n' C!

F-Dawg: CreamandMonkeys doesn't own Sonic the Hedgehog or anything.

C&M: (sob)

C-Hizzowl: It's copyrighted to Sega and, I guess Archie…sort of. CreamandMonkeys does own Kimi, Zariel, Matty, Banshee, and Toby.

C&M: Steal and die.

86 Smears of Dye on the Wall, 86 Smears of Dye…

"Junk, junk, complete waste of paper, junk," the pink hedgehog flipped through the envelopes briskly, throwing each letter over her shoulder to discard it while her little rabbit sidekick ran to pick them up, "Oh! Why doesn't Sonic ever write me? All I ask is for one letter! Only one!"

"Maybe it's just because mister Sonic never has time to write." Cream offered.

Amy immediately perked up again with rejuvenated hope, "You're probably right! He's out almost all the time!"

Cream smiled and nodded while wondering if Sonic even had a house to be 'out' from.

"Chao, chao! Chao, chao!" Cheese, who floated around the little bunny's head like the moon does Earth, picked up an envelope and shoved it into her face.

"Huh? What's this Cheese?" Cream took it's contents out and quickly skimmed it, "It's a coupon! The Zenevieva hair and nails salon. Pay for one complete hair and nail treatment, get one free."

"That's convenient." Amy said as she took the coupon out of Cream's hands.

Cheese attempted a nod, "Chao chao chao!"

"Cheese is right, you need something to take your mind off mister Sonic, Amy!"

"True. Then let's go!" Amy examined the address on the slip of paper and started off.

Thus, their fate was sealed.

"So ya think the coupon's 'll work?"

An off-white colored cat spoke up, breaking the deathly quiet of the small salon. She swayed back and fourth on one of the chairs and fiddled with one of the many multicolored ponytails on her head.

"Sure, Kimi," a tan squirrel answered her inquiry while trying to balance a comb on his nose, "Nothing is as effective as spam."

"Nothing but a fist."

The two previously mentioned glanced over at the other cat in the room, brown with black extremities. He wore a smirk and a pair of leather pants.

"Toby, thou art violent and self centered." the tan one let the comb drop off his nose.

Toby brushed his black mass of bangs away from his eye, "At least I'm not a hairdresser like you, Matty."

The squirrel stood up defensively and glared, "Thre's nothing wrong with that!"

"Yeah, accept it's weird."

"You're one to talk! You take photos for advertisements!"

"Puh! If it weren't for me, you would've had to take all the photos for this place yourselves. And I was generous enough to do it for fuh-ree."

"Free? You would only do it if we let you live in the basement!"

"Still, you didn't have to pay me."

"You're an idiot, Toby."

"You're a hairdresser, Matty."

The female cat rolled her eyes, "You're both wasting your time on a completely useless argument."

Her valid point didn't sink through, as the two lunged at each other and began to smack each other around.

"Please! That's enough! You two are best friends!" the fourth being in the room, a gold lioness named Zariel, protested in vain.

The fifth and final presence shook his head and clicked his tongue, "It's useless, Zar, they're thick as bricks when they're fighting."

He paused to think for a second before adding, "Though Toby's thick as a brick all the time."

"Banshee, can't you stop them?" Zariel pleaded with the water blue raptor while she tried to pull Matty and Toby away from their fight.

"'Fraid not as long as I want to stay out of this fuss."

"Hey look!" Kimi jumped off her chair and pointed to the door, "The coupons DID work!"
