Minka sighed. It was days like this that she actually hated her hair. Everyone has bad hair days, and this was one of hers; it won't straighten when she brushes it and her pigtails won't cooperate when she tries to put her hair up into them.

Finally giving up, she threw her beaded hairbands across the daycare center and they clacked when they hit the floor. She flopped down and buried her head in her arms as they rested on her knees, her tail snaked around her in effort to comfort herself.

Zoe had seen this all from her fluffy purple pillow. She sighed in sympathy for the monkey; she knew exactly what it's like to have a bad hair day, even though she may become more dramatic when it came to this. Nevertheless, she knew.

The dog stood up and hopped off her pillow, walking towards the sky blue beaded hairbands. Before bending over to pick them up she took a glance towards Minka, who was still sulking. Pulling off a weak smile, Zoe walked over to her friend, the hairbands clacking together as she held them gingerly between her sharp teeth.

The sound of beads clacking together and tiny claws clicking on the floor made Minka look up, and once she saw the hairbands in Zoe's teeth she heaved another sigh and looked away, her tail-tip twitching.

Zoe looked down at the hairbands before placing them down on the ground and trotting behind the monkey. She picked up the brush and began stroking it through her light pink hair, surprised to find many tangles there were. Minka squeaked a few times and told her to stop, but her orders fell on deaf ears as the dog continued stroking the brush slowly yet efficiently.

In a matter of minutes, the once messy hair was gorgeously soft and silky. Minka ran her fingers through and grinned when she found how effortlessly it pulled through.

Nodding in satisfaction, Zoe placed down the brush and picked up the hairbands, and with careful paws she put her friend's hair up into two cute pigtails.

Minka gasped happily and bounced up and down, joyfully watching her smooth hair bounce and swing around everywhere she went. She grinned a thanks to Zoe and embraced her in a hug, wrapping her tail around her friend's own tail.

The dog was slightly taken aback, but then again, this isn't anything out of the ordinary by Minka's standards. She hugged the monkey back and smiled softly, softly whispering in her ear, "You're welcome, my love."
