In the small town of (your town here), there is a clothing shop that is run by two hedgehogs. The hedgehogs, as well as the store, are known as the Able Sisters. Sable, a shy but caring brown hedgehog, is the older of the two. She takes care of her energetic kid sister, Mable, while trying to run a tailor shop that Sable inherited from her late parents. They try their hardest to make end's meet, but they hardly have enough. Tom Nook, the owner of a store in (your town here), doesn't pay them as much as they need. His greedy nature drives him to pinch every bell he can possibly get.

What's worse, the giraffe fashion diva, Gracie, often mocks and harasses the work the Sable and Mable pour their hearts and souls into. Sometimes, she enters the store to look at their selection and scoff.

"Well, looks like the usual patterns and selections today. This one is better than the others though, I might keep around for a spare dish rag." Gracie chortled. Mable shouts out, "Having trouble picking out a selection, huh? Why don't you purchase this deep sea diver's helmet? It's big enough to fit around that fat head of yours!" Gracie sticks her nose up. "That's quite an attitude you have, young lady. Are you perhaps jealous of style? You know your designs are inferior compared to mine." said Gracie proudly. "You're wrong!" Mable snaps back, "Our products are creations of imagination. People come here to share ideas with us. We make dreams into reality, so that's why we are better, right, Sable?" Sable keeps sewing on her machine. Gracie's comments are indeed eating her up from inside, but she knows it would be better to say nothing.

"Well, I'll leave you to your work in your humble little shack, while I drive my fancy car to my fancy house and eat fancy foods and live the dreams that even you can't make into clothing! Ta-ta!" Gracie shouts as she slams the door behind her. The sisters give a sigh of relief. When Gracie left, she took all of the tension with her. Sable then stopped working on her sewing machine and then looked out the window. Her thoughts were on her parents. Ever since she learned how to sew as a child, she always took pride on the creations she made. Now, she sews to keep her and her sister from starving on the street. Her pride turns into determination, but now, ever since Nook started expanding and Gracie started showing her face around town, her same determination has turned into desperation.

"There must be a better way..." Sable whispers. "Huh?" Mable said, "What did you say?

Sable sighs and says, "There must be a better way to make money. Sure, clothing is important but must be a way to make some extra income." "Wha-? You mean we are in trouble with money?" Mable asks. "No no no. I'm just curious if we can find a way to put extra money in our pockets." Sable explains. "That way, we can get a taste of the fancy stuff, too!" Mable puts her hands on her hips and says, "Don't tell me that Gracie intimidated you to stoop to her level of snob." "No no no." Sable repeats, "But there must be a way to get some quick bells." Mable thinks for a second and says, "Well, you could invest some money on turnips." Sable shakes her head. "That's way too risky... Hey, I have question. You have been talking to that human that just moved in outside of work, right? How does he make money?"

"Well, he goes to Nook a lot. He used to work for him to pay off that house he bought from him." Mable says with a giggle. Sable laughs as well and says, "Oh dear, poor kid is going to have debt up to his eyes. There is no easy way of getting out of Nook's black hole of mortgage payments..." Mable interrupts, "But he is almost done with his payments, he says that he has been planting foreign fruit trees, collecting seashells, fishing, and even hunting down bugs to sell stuff to Nook. I once saw that he was collecting money off of trees!" "No way. Money from trees?" Sable said in disbelief. "Way!" Mable said happily.

This was all news to Sable. She looked outside the window and wondered what was out there waiting for her. "I think it is time I took a break. Could you stay her and mind the shop?" Sable asked. "Sure thing, sis. Go enjoy yourself"

Sable heads out the door and closes it behind her. She looks at a nearby tree and walks towards it. She decided to see if the things she heard was true. She grabs the trunk of the tree and shakes it vigorously. A small bag falls out and hits her on the head. She rubs her head and looks at the bag. She opens it and finds 100 bells inside of it. In a moment of greed, she takes it all and stuffs it into her pockets. She couldn't believe it. Money was growing on trees. She started to travel, shaking and picking up everything in sight. Then, during her travels, she sees a crystal ball. She decides to pick it up. But before she could put it in her pocket, a pitch-blue panther swipes the ball away from her and says, "Do not touch it. It is not yours to pinch." Sable stumbles and starts to explain herself. "I'm sorry. I guess I got carried away. You see, I'm trying to collect some things to sell to Nook, so I can have some spare change to use for my sister." The panther stares at her and says, "All right. I guess you can be forgiven. My name is Katrina. I am a fortune-teller. Want to see what's ahead in your future?" "Will this cost anything?" Sable asks, "I'm strapped for bells and I can't pay much."

Katrina gives her a smirk and says, "Very well. Your first fortune will be free. Consider it a generous offering from the spirits." Her crystal ball starts to float and emit a faint light. Sable nervously watches as Katrina emits a dark aura. Katrina starts to chant...

"Keee ha mo-ata... Keee ha mo-atata...Loo-ta matata..."

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

The scream makes Sable's quills stand on end! Katrina clears her throat and says, "I am through." Katrina peers into the crystal ball. "I see a...a pincushion! A pincushion with no needles in it. It is surrounded with bells. Lots of bells!" Sable is confused, but she assumes that the pincushion represents her. Katrina continues, "Ooh, a needle just went through the pincushion. And another. AND ANOTHER! Lots of pins are going through it! How tragic... Ah, that's all I can see." Sable now had a frightened look on her face. Needles going through her didn't sound good at all. "W-what does it all mean, Katrina." Mable asked, scared out of her mind. "It means...Some good things may happen and some bad things may happen. I hope happiness comes your way, and if it doesn't, that's life. Good bye for now." She turns to leave. Sable shouts for her to stop but, Katrina ignores her and goes on her way. Sable then turned and headed for Nook's. During the trip, the visions of the crystal ball were swirling in her head. What did it all mean? She arrives at Nook's store and opens the door. Nook walks up and starts to shout,"Welcome, valued custo- Oh, it's you. I thought I wasn't getting the clothing shipments till tomorrow." "I'm here to sell you some things that aren't clothes." Sable says as she empties her pockets. "Ah, why didn't you say so?" Nook said with delight. "Let me see."

He inspects the junk she has collect and counts it all up. "Let's see. Adding the apples and the piano...Carry the 5...and with raccoon tax...I'll give you 5,629 bells for all this." Sable was ecstatic. Combine with the money she found from the trees, the grand total was 6,529 bells. With this money, she felt like she could buy her sister anything. "I accept! Thank you!" Sable shouted in delight. "No, thank YOU." says Nook. "I'll do anything to help a valued customer. That aside, I need those shipments tomorrow for my big sale. If you don't deliver them on time, I'll dock your pay." That slap of reality hits Sable pretty rough, but the thought of her pockets full of hard-earned cash cheered her up.

Sable makes her way home with a sunny attitude. She feels the sky's the limit with the money she has. And if she ever runs out, she can always make more the easy way.

"Why didn't I think about this before?" she thinks to herself, "Now I can get Mable anything she needs. Ooh, and I'm sure we can upgrade the tailor to make it look much nicer." Sable approaches the tailor and heads for the door, but then she realizes that there was one tree near the tailor she didn't shake. She walks over to it and thinks to herself that one more tree wouldn't hurt. After all, she could use all the money she could get.

Sable grabs the trunk of the tree and shakes vigorously. She notices that something fell beside her. When she saw what it was, her spine grew cold and her heart skipped a beat. It wasn't money or fruit or even a piece of furniture. It was a bee hive and it is emitting a loud buzzing sound. A swarm of bees exit the hive and circle around her. Sable wanted to run, but she couldn't. Her knees were locked and she couldn't move. A bee disbands from the swarm and flies around her. It lands on her right buttock and digs around the fur. Then, the bee inserts its stinger into the skin. "OW!" Sable yelped in pain. The bee then pulls itself apart from his stinger, leaving it behind. The stinger's pheromone is sent out and the bees know who and where to attack. The swarm swings behind her and starts to attack her butt. She felt another sting, and another, and another. It soon felt like endless amount of needles being stuck to her. She then turns her thoughts to Katrina and her fortune and she certainly felt like a pincushion. She finally cries out and shouts from the unbearable pain. Inside the tailor, Mable hears the shouts from her sister and goes out to help her. She sees the swarm of bees and how they are gathered around her backside. "Sable! What are you doing?! RUN! GET INSIDE THE TAILOR!" she shouts in fear. Sable shouts back. "I can't! Something is wrong, I-I can't move!" Mable runs to her sister and holds her hand. She tugs her arm and forces her to run. They run to the tailor and the bees give chase, still putting a few more stings in her rump and also putting a few on Mable's as well. They finally reach the tailor and slam the door firmly behind them. They both hear the swarm still buzzing angrily outside. Sable groans in pain while Mable scrapes off the few stingers she received and goes to get a bottle of medicine from the cabinet. "Sable, lift your butt up towards me." Mable demands. Sable nods her head and gets on all fours. Mable gets a business card and says, "I'm going to scrape off the stingers so they won't put anymore venom into you. Okay?"

Sable nods and says, "Alright, but be gentle." Mable uses the card to comb the fur of her sister's rear and scrapes off as many stings as she possibly can. "You got a lot of bumps on you, Sable. As soon as I remove all the stings, I'll use the medicine to heal your wounds." Mable said with a soothing gentle voice. "I understand. But I feel so... silly with my butt in the air like this..." Sable said sheepishly. "Don't worry about it, sis. Oh my! This one really traveled!" Mable exclaimed with a chuckle. "What? What traveled?" questioned Sable. Mable blushes and says, "A bee stung you on the... um, backdoor hole..." Sable blushes and sweats. "Well," she says, "Go ahead and remove the stinger on my...anus." Mable takes the card and gently scrapes the sting off of her anus. It hurt a little bit but Sable was more concerned of the fact that her sister had to touch her tailhole.

Mable then opened the medicine jar and scooped up a hand full of syrupy gel. The medicine in Nook's shop is a medical salve that rapidly heals the external wound it is rubbed on. The medicine also came in pill form for colds and flu. "Alright now, Sable, I'm going to rub this medicine on your butt and it will make it all better. Are you ready?" asks Mable. Sable nods and prepares herself. Mable puts the handful of medicine on both her hands and rubs her buttocks in a circular motion, trying to get under the fur to her skin. The gel was cold but very soothing. It felt very good, almost sexually pleasing. Then, after rubbing Sable's butt thoroughly, Mable puts a dab of medicine on her finger and, without warning, places her finger on Sable's anus and rubs it gently. A soft squeak escapes Sable's mouth. It was surprising, but it felt really soothing. Just then, Mable notices that fluids were coming out of Sable's pussy. She said nothing and closed the bottle of medicine and wiped her hands clean with a wash cloth. "Ok, lie on your stomach for a few minutes and let the medicine do its work." ordered Mable.

Sable obliged and started to relax. Mable lies down across from her and puts her face nose to nose with Sable. "So, what were you doing with those bees?" asked Mable. "Disturbing those bees hardly sounds like a relaxing break." Sable gives her a sad look. "I'm sorry, Mable. I shook that tree the bees were in, hoping to find some bells." Sable explains, "But it's all alright, though! I got lots of money us to spend." Mable shouts angrily, "So you were out getting money, huh?! You almost gotten yourself killed!" Sable is surprised by Mable's sudden outburst. She begins to calm down. "Look, sis. I know you are worried about our well being. But, I don't want to be happy being rich or fancy. I'm more than happy being around you. If I didn't get to you as soon as I did, I would have lost my only source of happiness. I love you, Sable, more than anything in the world." Mable starts to cry. "You were my mother when our real mother died. You took care of me, cleaned up after me, and did everything in your power to make sure I was happy. I love you, Sable, and I will for all eternity." Sable's eyes started to water and she started to cry with a smile on her face. She said,"And I love you, too, Mable. I will do anything to make you happy." They both get up and share a passionate hug, kissing each other on the cheek.

During the rest of the day, Sable and Mable were able to get their work done and retire for the night. Sable rested in her bed and, although her butt was still sore, her heart had healed completely knowing that only by just existing, she will keep her sister happy for a long time.
