Nicole, a cat wearing blue, loves to play soccer. The first letters of their names spell the word “BEAN”. That is because they love jellybeans. Their favorite place is a candy store called Petunia’s, where they love to share jellybeans. Just as jellybeans are different flavors but go well together, the girls are all different but get along great – and so they call themselves the JELLYBEANS.
