Sally and Nicole!/Royal Beginnings

Royal Beginnings is the first issue of Sally and Nicole!.

Transcript
It begins five years ago as a 9-year-old Sally is shown working on a craft as a 6-year-old Nicole observes it. She points as her parents then come. They approach her. She giggles. It then cuts to some years later as a 14-year-old Sally is looking to the sky as she is daydreaming. She lowers her head as Nicole comes while drinking hot chocolate. She sits down next to her. Nicole offers to give Sally some chocolate. She raises her eyebrow in annoyance. She is about to cry as Elias comes. Sally notices the last part. She waves as they leave. Later, it cuts to a forest as Sally and Nicole are searching for somewhere to go. She shrugs and follows her. Unaware to them, a female figure is sneakily watching them as she grins. She snickers as she hides in the bushes and grabs some binoculars.
 * Nicole: What are you doing, Sally?
 * Sally: Crafting. Wanna help with it?
 * Nicole: Sure. Where I can help?
 * Sally: Here.
 * Queen Acorn: Sally?
 * Sally: Yes, mom?
 * King Acorn: There's a thing we want to talk with you.
 * King Acorn: Me and your mother are going on a royal trip. Until we return, your brother Elias is in charge.
 * Sally: Okay, dad. But what if you don't come back in time. My birthday is in a few days.
 * Queen Acorn: Don't worry, dearie. We'll try to go back just in time. Your friends will be there, including that one you fawn over.
 * Sally: Great! I don't know how'd I react if Sonic just waltz over here!
 * Sally: The thing I most miss about you is, ugh, I... (sighs) Where are you, Sonic?
 * Nicole: Thinking about him, right?
 * Sally: Yeah... Since that Infinite rised, I've been worried about him.
 * Nicole: I know that feeling. I feel the same about Tailsey.
 * Sally: Nikki, there's a thing I was always curious about you: why do you like him that much?
 * Nicole: I just do. He's pretty much like me. We're both intelligent, we both are the same age and... (sighs) we've been both mocked due to our... differences. So we are like bread and butter. Kinda like you and Sonic: you're both stubborn, self-absorbed, crazy...
 * Sally: I get it... we're perfect for each other. Yet, there's another thing I'm worried about.
 * Nicole: Yes? What is it?
 * Sally: My family. They were gone for five years.
 * Nicole: (shocked) It's today? That's why you're so upset.
 * Sally: Yeah...
 * Elias: Sis, are you okay? You don't seem like it...
 * Sally: I miss our parents. Don't you feel the same?
 * Elias: Of course I do. But I also care about you. You seem... odd.
 * Sally: It's been difficult lately. Today is the fifth anniversary of our parents' disappearance. And to get worse, Amy told me that Sonic is going missing.
 * Elias: Wow, you are a lot like me. We may have our odds, but we're both depressed about our parents disappearing and we both are stressed about love life.
 * Sally: Love life? You? How?
 * Elias: I have a crush! A girl squirrel who I met while I was ruling, but I'm not sure if she likes me.
 * Sally: Oh. Uh... bye! (to Nicole) Let's leave, Nikki.
 * Nicole: Alright!
 * Nicole: Uhh, Sally? Why your talk with your brother ended up a bit... awkward?
 * Sally: I don't want to talk about that.
 * Nicole: Okay. Then, why are we leaving the city?
 * Sally: Because I want to. I need to forget about my problems. So, let's go.
 * Nic: (VO) Perfect... Just perfect. The princess and her friend left the city. They must be heading somewhere... Good...
 * Sally: Ah, the wild. It is so... wild.
 * Nicole: It smells like (sniffs) something unpleasant. Something bad is gonna happen for sure.
 * Sally: How is that possible? Is it a sixth sense or similar?
 * Nicole: You can say that. I might be kind of virtual now, but I'm still a feline.
 * Sally: True. I hope one day you can be fully Mobian once more.
 * Nicole: Me too.
