"Heya, Russell Bo Bussell!" Buttercream grinned as the hedgehog entered the Sweet Shop's secret pet entrance.

"Oh, heeey, Russell." Sugar Sprinkles smiles from the windowsill where she sunbathed. "What brings you to the Sweet Shop?"

Russell climbs up onto the counter with a list in hand. "Just stopping by to grab some sweets for the others; also I wanted to try baking something for Zoe."

"Aw, that's cute." Sugar Sprinkles purred, "And here I thought romance was out of your department."

The hedgehog rolled his eyes, "Whatever, just direct me to the kitchen, and I'll be on my way."

Buttercream smiled and bounced around, "Sure thing! Follow me and I'll set you up lickety-split!"

"Thank you, Buttercream."

"Soo, what did ya have in mind?"

"I've made a recipe of her favorite treats to embed in cookies."

"Aw, that is loopy doopy cutey coo!"

Russell ignored her as he set up the kitchen. After making a huge mess, much to Aunt Christie's dismay, the cookies were finished, and the hedgehog ran back into the pet shop with the goodies in his paws. "She's gonna love these."

"Russell, Darling, I was wondering where you went." Zoe smiled before eyeing the treats, "Ooh, did Buttercream make these."

"I did, actually."

He passed her a bag of cookies. Zoe gasped in excitement as she tore the bag open. She glanced down into the bag and frowned, "Russell," She laughed nervously, "Are you certain these are edible?"

"Should be; I tested them myself."

"Honey, these look like a biohazard."

Russell sighed, "Can you at least try them."

Zoe groaned, "Alright." The dog took a quick bite, and oh my! A wave of sugar, heaven, and treats circled in her mouth. "These are most incredible!"

"Told ya."
