Friends- Chapter Nine

Chyta has an unwanted haircut

Huh?"  Alla asked confusedly.
There was a creature in the brush!  She was another flying lioness.  She still had a tassel on her tail.
She was a mild, deep green, with bobbed dark yellow hair.  She was utterly befuddled, judging from the look on her face.
"Th- Thinacy?" she stuttered.
Her voice was high and a bit squeaky, like a chipmunk's, and it was definitely a girl's voice,  but it had hints of a strong personality.
She had a slightly English accent, (sound demonstration:  She hod a sloightlee Ayenglish ohccent) and altogether, her voice sounded  very interesting.
It took Chyta and Kimcy a while to realize that "Delevine" was not a word, exclamation, curse or thing, but the name of the lioness!
Kim and Alla obviously hadn't caught the idea yet.  Their mouths were still hanging open like a loose cupboard door.
"Delevine's my cousin," explained Thinacy.
Just then, they heard a noise behind them in the trees.  "Oh yay," said Kimcy miserably.  "More... fun." 
"Huh?"  Asked Delevine, confused.
A fox with a wide grin and flashing white teeth stepped out.  He also  had dual samurai swords strapped to his back.  "Hello ladies and isn't this your lucky day?  You've stumbled upon Sleazo the gift to womankind!"
"Um?"  said Thinacy.  He turned to her and Kimcy.  His eyes narrowed, his wide grin turning malicious.  "Oh I know you two!  The trespassers!"
"Uh oh..." said Kimcy slowly.  "Are-you-the-fox-whose-cave-we-slept-in-and-roast-we-ate?" 
"Right on!"  he said coldly, advancing towards them.  "And do you remember I said I would get revenge?"
"Um..." said Chyta.  "There is such a thing as punctuation, you know."
"Puncture what?" said Thinacy.
"Oh the gray lioness is merely remarking on my handsomeness," said Sleazo.
"NO I AM NOT!"  roared Chyta.  "I am saying, that you can pause, when, you, speak, like, this!!!  It saves a LOT of breath."
"Anyway..." continued Sleazo, still advancing Kimcy and Thinacy.  "Time to die silly lioness things."
"Oh no you don't," said Chyta.   "No you do NOT!"  Sleazo still advanced, smiling evilly.  "Goodbye evil devil lioness things."  and with that he threw both of his swords.  They both missed.  He bounded over, retrieving them, before Chyta got to them.  He threw one at her.  Luckily, he was a terrible thrower.  It did not kill Chyta, but did, however, cut her hair very short, like Delevine and Thinacy's.
"OKAY, THAT'S IT!"  shrieked Chyta, leaping on top of Sleazo, who was about to throw a knife at Thinacy.
"No one- chops- my- hair- like- that!"  she said, punctuating each word with a blow.  And since there is no defeating an angry lioness in battle, Sleazo slunk off. 
"We will meet again devils," he snarled.
Everyone slowly turned to Chyta, including Delevine.
"Um..." said Alla.  "That was... odd."
"Compared to Tzelly and the Freak Superstore, that was NOTHING," muttered Chyta.
Delevine's mouth slowly dropped open.  "That... was.. AWESOME!"

Friends- Chapter Eight

 Chapter 8
Thinacy receives an obnoxious letter 

"I never, ever, EVER want to do something like that again,"  gasped Thinacy, out of breath.
 
"How could a simple grenade explode that spooky superstore?" Chyta asked a red-faced Thinnalla, panting and leaning on a tree.
"It was from the 'Scariest Additions' section," Thinnalla answered shortly, in a no-nonsense tone.  "It was a 'Nuclear Grenade'.  The 'buy me!' note on the bottom of the stock rack said, 'surprise your enemies with this "grenade", it will do more harm then they think!' "
"Well, that makes sense," breathed Chyta.
"Well, after you're all done explaining," said Kimcy, "I, for one, think that Kimmie and Thinnalla take too much time and meaningless syllables to say.  And they don't really even sound like names.  What can we call them for short?"
"I think 'Kim' might be just right for Kimmie, " Chyta began, "but, on Thinnalla's part, I don't think anyone would like to be named 'Thin.'  Or 'Fat,' for that matter!"
Thinnalla nodded fiercely.
"Then how about 'Alla'?" Thinacy suggested plaintively.
"That sounds a lot better than 'Thin'," Thinnalla said appreciatively.
  Suddenly, everyone began to laugh.
"Kim and Alla, welcome to the group!" chortled Chyta amid giggles from the others.
Just then, a large, creamy brown envelope fell down.  It had no return address, no postage, no phone number or zip code, but only, in thick black ink, scrawling letters which said:  For Miss Thinacy Cobalt.  
"Huh?" said Chyta, cocking her head and lifting an eyebrow.
Kimcy took action, grabbing the envelope and reading the cursive writing with more comprehension than Chyta's old friend Belize, and shoving the letter into Thinacy's paws.
"It's for you,"  she said. 
"I've never received mail before, maybe it says something else," said Thinacy, but she curiously opened it nonetheless. 
A high-pitched scream, rather musical, emitted from the letter almost immediately.
Words could be discerned through the shrieking:
MISS COBALT LOOK IN THE BUSHES BEHIND YOU AT APPROXIMATELY 12:00 IN THE EVENING TOMORROW THANK YOU
YOU WILL FIND A SURPRISING SURPRISE THERE THAT YOU UNDOUBTEDLY NEED AND HAVE BEEN MISSING YOU'RE WELCOME and it repeated on and on.
It became very monotonous. 
Fortunately, it shut up when they rolled out their sleeping bags that Kim and Alla had conjured with their magic wands.
But it woke them up at 6:00 sharp, reminding them about Thinacy's "surprising surprise". 
 At twelve in the afternoon they stopped.  The letter stopped screaming in the middle of it's "approximately".  Thinacy looked behind her.
 Sure enough, there was something moving in the bushes.
Thinacy walked bravely up to the bushes and peered inside.
"Delevine!"  She suddenly shrieked.
