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.
*Nicole: What are you doing, Sally?
*Sally: Crafting. Wanna help with it?
*Nicole: Sure. Where I can help?
*Sally: Here.
She points as her parents then come.
*Queen Acorn: Sally?
*Sally: Yes, mom?
*King Acorn: There's a thing we want to talk with you.
They approach her.
*King Acorn: Me and your mother are going on a royal business 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. Sonic the Hedgehog, I suppose.
*Sally: Great! I don't know how'd I react if Sonic just waltz over here!
She giggles. It then cuts to some years later as a 14-year-old Sally is looking to the sky as she is daydreaming.
*Sally: The thing I most miss about you is, ugh, I... (sighs) Where are you, Sonic?
She lowers her head as Nicole comes while drinking hot chocolate.
*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.
She sits down next to her. Nicole offers Sally some chocolate.
*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...
She raises her eyebrow in annoyance.
*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...
She is about to cry as Elias comes.
*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 notices the last part.
*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!
She waves as they leave. Later, it cuts to a forest as Sally and Nicole are searching for somewhere to go.
*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.
She shrugs and follows her. Unaware to them, a female figure is sneakily watching them as she grins.
*Nic: (VO) Perfect... Just perfect. The princess and her friend left the city. They must be heading somewhere... Good...
She snickers as she hides in the bushes and grabs some binoculars.
*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.
They smile as they then arrive somewhere. Sally then sighs.
*Sally: Here we are: some random town.
They look to it while sitting on a hill. Suddenly, Nic comes out from the bushes as Sally notices her steps and turns around.
*Nic: We finally met, Princess. Shouldn't you be in your castle?
*Sally: Your face... You're related to Fang for sure.
*Nic: Bingo. Nicolette the Weasel at your service, but call me Nic.
*Sally: Wait, you are working for us?
*Nic: Well... I... no, I'm not. In fact, I'm here to kill you.
She grabs out a gun and laughs.
*Nic: Before I start, wanna know the reason why am I here?
*Sally: Not really.
*Nicole: To be honest, I want to.
*Nic: Alright then. The reason is...
Sally glares at her as Nicole smiles innocently.
*Nicole: (whispering) Relax, as soon she's distracted, we'll get outta here.
Sally nods.
*Nic: So... Where was I? Oh yeah... Like I was saying, I come from a family of bandits. And...
Unknown to her, Nicole is grabbing a frying pan and whacks her.
*Nicole: Take that, you ugly skunk!
*Nic: (annoyed) Skunk?!
*Nicole: Aren't you supposed to be knocked out?
She passes out. Nicole then grins.
*Sally: Was that even needed?
*Nicole: I overreact when I'm nervous. Sorry.
*Sally: Let's go before she wakes up!
They flee. Later on, it cuts to a strange place as a figure shouts at Nic for failing on her task.
*Nic: It's not my fault! The feline is smart.
*???: That's a lousy excuse! If the feline is that smart, why did she attack you with a frying pan?
*Nic: Because she distracted me! Gimme another chance! I swear I'll not mess up this time!
*???: I hope so. If not... you're dead.
She gulps and makes a salute. The figure laughs as comic ends.
