Balto: Red     Mikey: Orange   Christa: Green Mrs. Lancaster, Students: Bold Black

Nikki: Blue     Antu: yellow         Idrissa Kofi: Purple", "writing": "Hey there everyone! I hope you all feel fine\n\nSome time has passed since we came back from Ann Arbor. Nikki and I now exercise daily, we eat healthier, what resulted in me having a way better stamina. Our performance skills also increased since we follow Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter’s tips. Lately, we had many rehearsals, next to some plays. We do that to get more money for our group, so we can buy costumes and props. The college is giving what it can, but it still often isn’t enough, even if we make most of those things ourselves. The materials, especially fabrics and wood, became insanely expensive. \nBesides that, school has been getting to me. High School isn’t that easy, we have a lot to do, homework frequently takes me several hours a day. Lately, I have not been able to sleep on many nights. This, of course, worried my friends and family. It got so bad that they took away my schoolbooks during the weekends. Last Friday, Nikki and I invited Antu and Mikey to our cabin by the lake. We did Karaoke, went fishing, talked and, well, had some other fun together. But the most important thing was that we all got some desperately needed sleep. \nOk, ok, I hear you. Maybe I should tell you a bit about the ‘other fun’ part.\nIt was Saturday evening, we just finished the last song of our karaoke session, as Nikki yawned loudly. Antu, Mikey and I were all wearing just shirts and underwear because it was pretty warm inside the cabin. Nikki was wearing a belly top and hot pants. My girl stretched her body, while we boys watched her. Our eyes wandered over her breasts, down to her belly, her slender hips, and her long legs. Her look alone still is enough to make my sheath swell. As Nikki saw how we watched her, she grabbed a big pillow and threw it on us, before she made a few steps to the kitchen, while muttering “boys”.\nWe giggled, and while we sat down on the couch, I could see that I wasn’t the only one who enjoyed looking at Nikki before. Mikey and Antu both had trouble hiding their excitement. As we saw each other’s situation, we all began to laugh. Nikki heard that, while she rejoined us with some chips and cookies.\n[color=#3465a4]“Why are you boys laughing?”[/color]\nWe looked at each other, while we pulled down our shirts a bit more to cover the bulges in our panties. But of course, Nikki knew what was going on. She acted like she would be mad at us:\n[color=#3465a4]“Boys, I thought you would be old enough by now to not get aroused every time you see more of a girl’s fur. You should be ashamed. All three of you.”[/color]\nWe lowered our heads and apologized to her. She first reacted to this with a smile, before she began to laugh.\n[color=#3465a4]“Oh boys, you are so easy to manipulate. As I would be mad about giving boys a boner. In fact, I am impressed. Mikey, you seem to have grown even bigger since the camping trip last year.”[/color]\nThe gray fox tried to hide his bulge even more now, what made Antu and me giggle.\n\nNikki sat down on the right side of the L-shaped couch, where she could lean against the backrest. I was sitting next to her, then Antu, and Mikey was sitting behind his tiger. Nikki switched on the TV, and we watched a bit of Lucifer. It was the episode where they sing “Another one bites the dust”. I love these musical episodes.\nAs the evening went on, Mikey cuddled with Antu on their side of the couch, while Nikki and I watched them. At one point, they seemed to have forgotten us, as they began to kiss each other. Antu even let his hand wander underneath Mikey’s shirt. The fox moaned silently, as he felt the feline’s hand exploring his chest and belly. I couldn’t resist clearing my throat, to show them Nikki and I were still there. They both looked at us, and Antu attempted to take his hands away from Mikey. \nNikki seemed to be a bit disappointed that they stopped and began to gently touch me now. \n[color=#3465a4]“Go on you two, I am sure Balto didn’t want you to stop. If you don’t mind, we will join you.”[/color]\nShe didn’t lose any time, pulled my shirt over my head and threw it to the floor. Seconds later, I felt both her hands exploring my upper body, while our friends watched us.\nAfter a little while, Antu asked:\n[color=#c4a000]“Balto, do you work out? You seem to have more muscles than the last time I have seen you naked.”[/color]\nI smiled at the tiger.\n[color=#cc0000]“Yes, Nikki and I have been working out regularly since we got back from Ann Arbor. It's important for our performance.”[/color]\nMy cheetah’s hands seemed to be everywhere on my upper body at this point, my member began to grow out of its hideout, while Mikey and Antu continued to watch us.\nAfter a while, the white tiger became curios.\n[color=#c4a000]“Can I touch you, Balto?”[/color]\nI wasn’t so sure about that, but Nikki held me close to her and invited Antu:\n[color=#3465a4]“Sure, go ahead. But be gentle. Balto is sensitive.”[/color]\nAs I wanted to protest, Nikki quickly shut my mouth with her hand. Next, I felt her tongue on my neck. She licked it a few times, before she gently bit me. Do you remember the “Dance of the Vampires” play? It was a feeling just like it was back then. An incredible feeling, which was even strengthened by the fake vampire teeth, which Nikki was still wearing. Nikki’s bite seemed to switch off my defenses entirely. Antu came closer to us, knelt on the couch between Mikey and me. My eyes were closed, as I felt his hand on my belly. Nikki continued to gently lick and bite my neck, while her hands wandered over my body. Suddenly, I felt a hand touching the bulge in my panties, massaging it. I knew it was Antu, since Nikki has bigger hands than him. With my eyes still closed, I enjoyed being the center of their attention. Suddenly, I heard Nikki speaking silently:\n[color=#3465a4]“Pull his pants down, tiger. Don’t be shy, doggy wants it too.”[/color]\nAntu grabbed the waistband of my boxer briefs, lifting them a little before slowly pulling them down. I heard him and Mikey giggling, what made me reopen my eyes.\n[color=#cc0000]“What is so funny?”[/color]\nMikey answered, while he pulled Antu’s pants down:\n[color=#f57900]“Your member became way bigger than it was at the camping trip, Balto.”[/color]\nWith a grin in my face, I answered him:\n[color=#cc0000]“As far as I remember, it was almost too big for you back then, foxy.”[/color]\nAntu chuckled, while he touched my balls:\n[color=#c4a000]“I think he could take you with ease now, Balto. But could you take him?”[/color]\nI remembered Mikey’s size and gulped, while Nikki laughed.\n[color=#3465a4]“Good one, Antu!”[/color]\n\nWithout any more words, the tiger began to sniff my balls. Mikey did the same on Antu’s butt, before he spread the feline’s cheeks and licked in long terms underneath his partner’s tail. \nThis scene was bot exciting and surprising for me, since I always saw Mikey as a shy little fox.\nAntu now began to lick my balls enthusiastically. He seriously has some skills, and so it didn’t take long until my member reached its full size. I felt Nikki’s hands wandering through my belly-fur, Antu’s tongue and his cold nose on my balls, while I watched how Mikey stood up and undressed. His cock really has an impressive size. Nikki saw how I looked at the fox's member, comparing it to my own, and she whispered:\n[color=#3465a4]“No need to be jealous, doggy. Your cock has a fantastic size.”[/color]\nShe then signed Antu to move up a bit, and the next thing I felt was how he took the tip of my cock into his mouth. The tiger slowly began to lick and suck, and I couldn’t do anything besides moaning loudly. Meanwhile, Mikey seemed to search for something. He mumbled a few words I couldn’t understand. Nikki took my hand and placed it on Antu’s head, before she talked to Mikey:\n[color=#3465a4]“If you are looking for lube, mine is on the nightstand in the bedroom. There are also some condoms, in case you need them. Oh, and there is a towel on the bed, bring that too.”[/color]\nThe fox quickly ran off to the bedroom and came back a minute later with the lube and a small towel, which was quickly placed underneath Antu. It seemed that he couldn’t wait anymore, as he knelt behind Antu and placed some of Nikki’s strawberry-lube on Antu’s butt hole. Nikki just watched us boys playing, at this point she was the only one who was still dressed. \nMikey went into position behind his tiger, rubbing his rock-hard member on the slippery hole in front of him.\nWith my cock almost completely in his mouth, Antu wiggled his butt, teasing his mate with it. Mikey then grabbed Antu’s hips, before he placed the tip of his dick on the slippery hole. He didn’t lose any more time and shoved his member inside the tiger’s butt. My eyes became big, as I saw how easily Antu was able to take this thing. Mikey pressed his full size into his partner, before he held still for a moment. Nikki also seemed to be impressed by this. She later told me, that she could turn her eyes away from this scene in front of her. \nMeanwhile, Antu didn’t stop to suck my cock eagerly. His head moved up and down, while Mikey began to hump him. The whole couch moved, while fox and tiger enjoyed this game of love and passion.\nMikey didn’t hold back, his thrusts were fast and hard, he almost looked like a little bunny. Antu moaned, but his sounds were muffled by my cock in his mouth. My knot soon began to grow, I felt my climax coming closer. My breathing increased. Antu noticed that, and he sucked even harder. I could really hear how Mikey’s growing knot pressed into the tiger’s little butt and plopped out again and again. Finally, it grew too big to be pulled out again. After one last hard thrust, the fox got stuck. A few more humps, and Mikey howled like a wolf, as he shot his warm cum into his friend. For myself, it took just a few seconds longer until I filled Antu’s greedy muzzle with my seed.\nHe gulped it down and smiled at me, while Mikey was panting hard. \nIt then was the tiger, who spoke up first:\n[color=#c4a000]“That was nice. You taste good, Balto. Our energizer-fox here always tastes a bit bitter.”[/color]\nNikki had to laugh.\n[color=#3465a4]“Balto had the same problem. Mikey, you just need to eat less meat and more fruits and vegetables. Pineapple, for example, is good for a better tasting cum.”[/color]\nMikey growled a bit, what made us all chuckle.\nWhile Antu cleaned my member, Nikki stood up and stretched her body. A brief look underneath Antu showed, why it was better to place this towel there. Antu came hands-free, and this piece of fabric was full of the tiger’s juice.\nNikki looked at the time, before she wanted to excuse herself.\n[color=#3465a4]“Ok boys, I will quickly go and take a shower. What about we watch this new Star Wars-series afterwards? If you aren’t too tired for it.”[/color]\nWe boys cheered, before Mikey spoke up:\n[color=#f57900]“Nikki, can we see you naked too? I mean, you have seen all of us nude now.”[/color]\nMy girl smirked.\n[color=#3465a4]“Well, I guess it is only fair. And since Balto showed you more than enough photos of me by now, it isn’t that weird anymore.”[/color]\nNikki first took off her top, revealing her well-formed breasts with her stiff little nipples, before she turned around, bent over and then slowly pulled down her pants, so we had a fantastic view of her butt and pussy. Especially Antu stared at the now naked girl in front of him.\nMy cheetah turned around again, and had to laugh, as she saw how we looked at her.\n[color=#3465a4]“Boys, you act like I would be the first girl you have ever seen.”[/color]\nAntu looked a bit ashamed.\n[color=#c4a000]“Well, for me, you are. I mean, I know photos, but you are the first girl I see like that for real.”[/color]\nThe feline’s eyes became even bigger, as Nikki came closer.\n[color=#3465a4]“Well, Antu, I hope you like the view. As a cute boy like you, you will surely see other girls like that soon enough. Of course only if Mikey is ok with it.”[/color]\nThe fox, who was still hanging on his tiger, only nodded, as Antu asked Nikki something else, while looking at her breasts:\n[color=#c4a000]“Nikki, can I, maybe, just quickly?”[/color]\nHe didn’t finish the sentence, but Nikki understood.\n[color=#3465a4]“You want to touch my breasts?”[/color]\nAntu nodded, and Nikki came closer to him.\n[color=#3465a4]“Sure. You can squeeze them, if you like.”[/color]\nAntu touched Nikki’s breasts. First the right one, then the left. He squeezed them with curiosity, and Nikki moaned a bit. Her nipples were still standing, maybe because it was a bit fresh in the cabin by now. Antu also touched them, what made him giggle. To our surprise, Nikki moved even closer to him now. \n[color=#3465a4]“You have such gentle hands, want to lick them?”[/color]\nNow my eyes became big, as Antu took the offer, and licked my girl’s stiff little nipples.\nHe even sucked a bit on them, until Nikki slowly made a step back.\n[color=#3465a4]“Now I know why Balto exploded like that before. You have very tender lips and a nice tongue, Antu. But now, I really need a shower. Balto, you want to join me?”[/color]\n\nI quickly stood up to join Nikki, while Antu had a wide grin in his face.\nWe went to the bathroom, Nikki prepared the shower, then she almost pulled me into the shower cabin and forced me to my knees.\nUnder the warm water, she placed her left paw on my shoulder, presenting me her wet pussy.\n[color=#3465a4]“Lick me, wolf. Watching the three of you made me so horny, but I wanted to avoid doing this in front of them. Lick me out, and don’t dare to stop, before I tell you so.”[/color]\nThat is always a command Nikki doesn’t have to give me twice. I pressed my snout between my girl’s legs, beginning to lick her slightly swollen vulva. The taste of her was incredible as always. I stuck my tongue as deep as I could inside the moaning feline’s pussy. Nikki moaned, almost screamed in pleasure. I know by now how to, how should I say, push her buttons, if I want to make her feel good. I tasted more and more of her juices, Nikki leaned on the shower’s wall, now really screaming in lust. She was already close. I took a deep breath, before I pressed my snout as far as possible inside my girl’s dripping vagina. Nikki tumbled, I felt her fingers and claws on my head. Seconds later, she screamed so load that the last deer in the forest must have heard her. Her whole body shivered, as she was overwhelmed by an intensive orgasm. I sat back and looked up to my girl, smiling, with my muzzle covered in her fluids. Nikki needed a few moments, until she caught her breath and helped me back up. \n[color=#3465a4]“Good dog. That is what I needed after the show you three gave me before. Now let shower, before Mikey and Antu start a second round.”[/color]\nWe finished our shower and rejoined the others. We watched this new Andor series, which is actually pretty cool. Not as cool as Mandalorian, but still cool.\nThe rest of this weekend wasn’t anything special, just three teenager and a sweet girl in a cabin by the lake during a rainy weekend. So, let us move on.\n\n[u][b][b]Monday[/b][/b][/u]\n\nDo you know the song “Manic Monday” by the Bengals?\nThis was precisely how I felt that day. First, I overslept because I forgot to set my alarm. Mom had to bring me to school, I forgot my lunch, and my money at home. Thankfully, Mikey and Antu shared their lunches with me. God, I am glad that I had clothes on that day. This day couldn’t get any worse. At least, I thought so. But as it usually happens when you have such thoughts, life will prove you wrong.\nIt was after the lunch break, during p.e. class, where we had to run around the soccer field. To make it short, I dripped over my paws, what amused everyone around. I even bleed a bit. It really wasn’t my day.\nBut what I really wanted to tell you about here is the history class we had later. And that was not as bad as the rest of this stupid day. This lesson’s theme was the Origins of the Anthropomorphic Society. \nWe had this a few times during the last years, but since this is also deeply connected with the history of civil rights and some other themes in biology and science classes, it returns frequently.\n\nOur history teacher this year is an elderly female horse by the name of Mrs. Lancaster. I think she is from England, at least she talks like that. She began to speak about the very first experiments, which took place in the labs of Helix Genetics in Africa. Nothing I haven’t heard before. Some of you, my dear readers, might remember that we met Dr. Lucius Allister in New York, who held a presentation about almost the same topic. But ok, that way I had some time to relax a bit. Sadly, our teacher didn’t like it to see me halfway laying on my desk. She came closer, took a book and slammed it down in front of me. The sound of the book slamming on the table made me startle, while my classmates laughed.\n\nI looked up into the grumpy teacher’s face, and the lady said:\n[b]“Mr. Star, I am sorry that my lessons are so boring for you. But I will not accept you sleeping here. Do you really think you can risk missing these lessons? They are relevant for the next exam!”[/b]\n\nI grumbled quietly before answering her:\n[color=#cc0000]“I am sorry, Mrs. Lancaster. Yet, I know all that from a lecture that Dr. Allister gave in New York.”[/color]\n\nNow the lady seemed to be a bit impressed.\n[b]“You met Dr. Allister? Well, why don’t you tell your classmates and me something about it? Step forward.”[/b]\nI really don’t like talking in front of the class, especially not when the teacher is obviously trying to screw me over. But sadly, there was no way out of this. I stood up, while the other kids whistled. I took a few steps, before I turned around and looked at the teacher, who sat down on my desk.\n[b]“Begin, Mr. Star.”[/b]\nI had to think for a moment, but then I remembered how Dr. Allister began his lecture in New York.\n\n[color=#cc0000]“At the beginning of the so-called Cold War, the scientist all over the world tried to find a way to enhance the human body and to create some kind of “Super-Soldier”. In Africa, Dr. Allister and his team worked in a lab for Helix Genetics. They first tried to manipulate the pure human DNA, what showed good results. But it wasn’t enough for the company, since many said that similar results can also be achieved through a breeding program, which was for example tried by the Germans during World War 2. And therefore, they began to experiment with mixing Human and Animal DNA, to get better results. Most of the creatures that emerged from these initial experiments died after a few weeks in the tubes, and it took them about 15 years to present their investors with the first living Anthropomorph. This was a female tiger they called Suki. \nThis girl was risen by Dr. Allister himself and showed a high amount of intelligence. Sadly, other investors took over at this point because the government wasn’t so much interested in the “Super Soldier” program anymore. Unfortunately, those investors had their focus on quick profit. \nThe result of that was, that the now created Anthros were not more than rightless workers. Slaves, if you might call it that way. Years later, after Helix produced thousands of Anthros all over the world, things changed again for Dr. Allister’s team. An Indian Businessman visited them and took Suki, who worked with Dr. Allister as his lab assistant at this point, with him. The scientists protested, but they couldn’t do anything, since Suki was property of Helix. This Indian made an exotic prostitute out of Suki, who killed herself shortly after. \nThose events were the turning point for many in Dr. Allister’s team, they quitted their jobs and formed a Civil Rights Movement for the Anthropomorphs they helped to create. Thanks to earlier civil rights movements and the help of many supporters, it took only about a year and the Anthros were granted full human rights.”[/color]\n\nHere, Mrs. Lancaster ended my “presentation”. She stood up from my chair and walked towards me.\n[b]“Ok, I see you learned your lessons well. I only must add that Helix wasn’t the only company doing research in this direction. In particular, the often-overlooked labs of Maisha Genetics were far ahead of all the others. They created Anthropomorphs about 5 years before Helix created Suki. Especially if you know someone whose family originates in Africa, it is very likely that their grandparents were born in one of their labs. Besides that, I am impressed, Balto. But never dare to sleep during my classes ever again. Sit down.”[/b]\nAfter I returned to my seat, our teacher continued:\n[b]“As you have just heard, Anthropomorphs were first created as soldiers and workers by several companies all around the globe. All this happened not so long ago. To make it a bit clearer for you, just look at yourself. You are all about 14 or 15 years old now. Most likely, your parents are among the first Anthros who were born naturally, while most of your grandparents were born in a laboratory of Helix Genetics or another similar company. Our race may still be young, but we have achieved much in the past few years, starting of course in that we have been granted civil rights. If we take a brief look at American history, particularly that of African Americans or Native Americans, their struggle for these essential rights has taken much more time than ours. They also had to suffer way more and far longer than our species did. This suffering includes countless deaths. It is most likely because of their fights, that we had it way easier in this matter. The reason I mention this is that you all should be grateful, and never make the mistakes humanity made in its past. Sadly, there are even a few groups of Anthros who say that we are better than humans, as we often have an advantage in for example hearing, seeing, sports or learning new things. But it simply isn’t true. There is no more advanced, no more privileged race, we are all equal. We all have our mistakes. Always remember to be respectful to others. Always treat others as you would want to be treated by them.”[/b]\nMrs. Lancaster sighed.\n[b]“Let us move on to a happier topic, before our time is over for today. Anthros and their influence on culture during the past few years. Does one of you maybe know an Anthropomorphic Celebrity?”[/b]\nI raised my hand, but someone else was faster:\n[b]“Holly Rhoads-Hunter!”[/b]\nMrs. Lancaster nodded.\n[b]“Yes, she is probably one of the most well-known ones. Holly Rhoads-Hunter is a singer and actor, just in case that any of you don’t know her. Whether intentionally or not, she became something of an ambassador for us Anthropomorphs. Another not so common example is Severa Abbas. \nShe once was a star in movies and theater, but almost disappeared, after no studio wanted to hire her anymore. \nIt was said that she is complicated to work with, but no one can deny her success during her prime. Besides those two, we had a few other actors and athletes, who made a name for themselves. One of those was the Light-Athletic Star Jamal Baker. \nHe outperformed all others at the Olympics 2012 in London by setting three new world records during this tournament. \n\nHis hard work and success were the reason many cubs developed an interest in sport and athletics. Then we have Jasmine O’Connor, who is one of the few anthropomorphic stars on Broadway, and in Germany, we have astronaut Michael Bauer. Just a few months ago, he was the first Anthro in space. Of course, we also shouldn’t forget the many army veterans, who served in the Gulf Wars and in Afghanistan. Those men and women often became highly decorated heroes of their companies. These and other examples show that we Anthros can make it far in the human world, if we just work hard enough. Sadly, our time for today is up. For homework, please read chapter 3 and 4 in your history book until Friday and be aware of the exam next Monday about the Anthropomorphic Civil Rights Movement. Class is dismissed.”[/b]\n\nThe day soon ended after this hour, and I walked to the bus stop. The bus was waiting for us there, I stepped in, placed my bag on a seat in the first row and sat down next to it. I prefer to sit there because I can look out of the windshield, and the loud kids are all sitting in the back. \nI used the time to look in my history book, into the chapters we were supposed to read. \nThey weren’t about Anthropomorphs in particular, they are more about the civil rights movements in our country's past and their most important members. People like Martin Luther King Jr., or Rosa Parks. While I browsed through the pages, I was shocked to read about some of the facts I found there. I don't even want to imagine the cruel treatments people had to go through back then. While I read something about the American Indian Movement and its founders, I heard Mikey’s voice:\n[color=#f57900]“Hey Balto, Is the seat taken? What are you reading there?”[/color]\nI sighed silently, while I removed my bag from the seat.\n[color=#cc0000]“No, Mikey, it is free. Where is Antu?”[/color]\n[color=#f57900]“His dad picked him up, they are doing some father and son stuff today.”[/color]\nThen he looked at the book in my hands again.\n[color=#f57900]“Are you already reading those chapters in the history book?”[/color]\nI nodded.\n[color=#cc0000]“Yes, Mikey. I wanted to read it now because I have a lot to do at home. I still must learn for the math exam tomorrow, and Wednesday is the next meeting with my theater group. We are preparing for this new play, and I have much text to learn.”[/color]\nMikey chuckled.\n[color=#f57900]“You work too much, doggy. Now put that book aside, I want to show you something.”[/color]\nReluctantly, I put the book down while grumbling about how Mikey had just called me doggy.\n[color=#cc0000]“What do you want to show me?”[/color]\nThe fox took out his mobile and presented me a video of him and Antu having sex. To be exact, it showed how Antu sucked on Mickey’s impressive member. Quickly, I put my hands on the display, since we weren’t alone in the bus. I looked at Mikey with a bit of a grumpy expression in my face.\n[color=#cc0000]“Mikey, are you nuts? You can’t show that around at school.”[/color]\nMy friend only laughed.\n[color=#f57900]“Calm down. You posted photos and videos of you and Nikki several times. What’s the difference?”[/color]\nI covered my eyes with my right hand and shook my head.\n[color=#cc0000]“The main difference is that we are at school here, and none of our classmates has ever seen that stuff, and I would like to keep it that way. Besides that, how is it with Antu?”[/color]\nMikey’s tail wagged a bit, as he answered.\n[color=#f57900]“It is fabulous, and his dad is so cool. You know, for a human.”[/color]\n\nI know Antu’s father well by now. He often visits Nikki’s dad, helps him to build stuff, or sometimes they just talk for hours about their time in the military. And yes, he is a cool guy. He is one of the few human beings I have met so far who didn’t look down on us. \nMikey and I talked further, as the bus finally drove off the school and brought us home. His drop-off point was before mine, so I had at least time to read the chapter I started to the end.\nI spend the final hours of this day in our kitchen, learning for the math exam with the help of my mom. Well, as far as she could help me with it, as she was preparing dinner at the same time. I can tell you that after two hours, my head was spinning. My mother then forced me to take a break.\n[color=#4e9a06]“Enough now, Balto. It’s time for dinner. So put these books aside and let us eat.”[/color]\nAfter I put my school stuff aside, we had a tasty dinner together. While we ate, it began to rain. Somehow, I always loved to watch the rain through the big window in our kitchen. Suddenly, the front door opened, and I heard a voice I didn’t expect that day. It was Nikki. She was all wet from the rain, so her white top became a little see-through. The weather must have surprised her. After my cheetah cleaned her paws a bit, she joined us in the kitchen.\n[color=#3465a4]“Hello, I hope you don’t mind me joining you. I forgot my keys, and my parents aren’t home.”[/color]\nMom smiled.\n[color=#cc0000]“Of course not, Nicole. Want to eat something? I made pasta with Arrabiata sauce.”[/color]\n[color=#3465a4]“Oh yes, that would be fantastic, Christa.”[/color]\nThen she turned her head over to me, after she sat down.\n[color=#3465a4]“How are you, my little Fluffy?[/color]\nI gulped down, before I answered her.\n[color=#cc0000]“School is way harder than last year. Tomorrow, we have a big math exam. I fear I will blow it.”[/color]\nMy mother and Nikki laughed.\n[color=#3465a4]“I am sure you will do just fine, Balto. Don’t forget the rehearsal on Wednesday, and the little play we have in the elementary school on Saturday.”[/color]\nWhile my feline was talking, I couldn't help myself and kept looking at her wet top and translucent black bra. Mom, of course, saw how I looked at my girlfriend, and after she cleared her throat, she spoke in a stern tone:\n[color=#4e9a06]“Balto, it isn’t nice to stare at a girl like that, even if she is your girlfriend.”[/color]\nMy look went down on the table.\n[color=#cc0000]“I am sorry, Nikki.”[/color]\nBut my girl only chuckled, while she ate.\n[color=#3465a4]“It's ok. But if you want to apologize for it, I have some dry shirts in your room. Be a charm and bring me one, ok?”[/color]\nI stood up and quickly ran to my room, fetching a dry shirt and a towel. As I came back, Nikki smiled, as she stood up. She first took off her top, followed by the wet bra. My eyes now became even bigger, as she was standing topless in our kitchen. Nikki then took the towel I brought her to get dry, before she covered herself with the fresh shirt, before she and I sat back down.\n[color=#3465a4]“That is way better, thanks.”[/color]\nMom took the wet clothes and brought them into the laundry room. For that, she must go through our garage. That gave me and Nikki a little time to talk.\n[color=#3465a4]“Doggy, I am flattered you are still looking at my breasts like you have never seen them before.”[/color]\nI was ashamed by that.\n[color=#cc0000]“Sorry, Nikki. I just couldn’t resist.”[/color]\nShe gave me a hug and a little kiss.\n[color=#3465a4]“Don’t worry. Now tell me, are you having issues with math again? You know, that was one of my favorite subjects in High School.”[/color]\nSomehow, it was shameful for me to admit that I had difficulties at school again.\n[color=#cc0000]“I simply don’t understand this here.” [/color]\nI showed her some geometry lessons, where I had problems with. She chuckled, while she looked at them.\n[color=#3465a4]“Oh, now this isn't that hard, if you know how it is done. It surprises me that you have issues with it. Here, I will show you. You will get that in no-time.”[/color]\nAnd she was right. Again. With her help, I finally managed to understand this stuff. What would I do without her? Mom came back a few moments later, we talked a bit more, before Nikki and I cleaned the kitchen. \nThe evening passed by fast. Nikki had to go home, as she finally got a call from her mother. I went to bed early that day, since the following day would be a long one, with this exam and everything.\n\n\n[u][b]Thursday[/b][/u]\n\nIn the last part of this little entry, I want to tell you about Thursday the 20th of September. The day began as usual. Waking up at 5:30, washing, breakfast, snoozing over my cereals, almost missing the bus. I am sure some of you know mornings like that. We arrived at school shortly before class started. The first two hours were math, so our exam would take place at the very beginning of the day. And what a long exam it was. It took almost the whole time, until the last of us were through with it. Thanks to Nikki’s tips, I was able to answer everything, and it wasn’t as hard as I have feared it would be.\nAfter this, we had a little break, in which most of my classmates discussed the exam and what they had as answers. I sat down with Mikey and Antu, which were sitting on a bench outside.\nThey didn’t see me coming closer and were surprised to hear me. At least they didn't seem to have expected me.\n[color=#cc0000]“Hey guys.”[/color]\nAntu tried to hide something behind his back, as he looked at me.\n[color=#c4a000]“Oh, hey pal. How was the test? The hardest part for me was this damn third question. The one with the triangles. That was nuts.”[/color]\nA smile appeared on my face.\n[color=#cc0000]“I thought the test would be harder. Nikki told me a few tricks yesterday, so it wasn’t that hard for me.”[/color]\nMikey seemed to be a bit annoyed.\n[color=#f57900]“Of course, it wasn’t hard for you, little Einstein.”[/color]\nThat was an odd behavior for Mikey, so I asked further:\n[color=#cc0000]“What’s wrong Mikey? Did you have problems with that? Maybe Nikki can give us all a few lessons, she loved math in High School.”[/color]\nThe fox picked up a small rock and threw it away. As he watched it flying, he answered:\n[color=#f57900]“Sure, why not. Sorry Balto, I sometimes really hate you for having it so easy with learning and everything.”[/color]\nI didn’t know what to answer him on that, and the school bell rang at the same moment. On our way back to the class, I tried to form an answer:\n[color=#cc0000]“Mikey, I am sorry. But as said, if you like, I am certain that Nikki will agree to giving us some coaching. Without her help, I could have never answered the questions in that test today.”[/color]\nNow Mikey smiled a bit.\n[color=#f57900]“Thanks, Balto. Thanks for trying to convince me that you need something like coaching in math from your girlfriend.”[/color]\nWe entered the classroom.\n[color=#cc0000]“It is true, Mikey. Without her, I would be the worst student in our class. I swear.”[/color]\nHe laughed and patted my back.\n[color=#f57900]“Sure thing.”[/color]\n\nI don’t know why he didn’t believe me. I wasn’t always a good student. But he was right at the point that learning is not as hard for me like it is for others.\nAfter the break it was time for English, then we had lunch break, afterwards biology, in which we talked about the interesting theme of anatomy and sex. \n\nOur teacher here still is Mr. Wertenson, what I find amazing. He is by far my favorite teacher. One of the themes was the differences between the genitalia of the most common anthropomorphic races. While female Anthros mostly look the same, with just some minor differences, males can look quite differently down there. I will not go too much into detail here, I am sure most of you know what I am talking about.\nAfter this interesting hour, we were supposed to have Science class, but the teacher was sick, and so Mrs. Lancaster took over. We were all surprised to see her, but I wasn’t disappointed by it.\n\nShe asked us to sit down and be quiet, before she explained:\n[b]“We had to make a change in the schedule, since your science teacher called in sick. Please take out your history books, Chapter 3 and 4, and read it quietly. This way you don’t have to do it as homework. Begin.”[/b]\n\nChapter 3 is, as I have mentioned it before, about the civil rights movements in general. Chapter 4 was more specific about us Anthros. The first part was about the works of Helix Genetics and other companies, then they wrote about Dr. Lucius Allister and his team of scientists. They even put a photo of Suki in this book. She was so cute. But I saw one major difference, her teeth were way more like those of non-Anthro tigers. You know, bigger fangs and everything. She clearly had more animal-like characteristics than modern day Anthros. And she didn’t have hair. To be clear, I am not talking about her fur, I mean the head hair. We Anthros clearly changed since then. In this chapter, I also read something I haven’t heard ever before. Another name for the Anthro race, which was “Humana Bestias”. I must admit, it somehow sounds cool.\nAfter we all were done with the chapters, Mrs. Lancaster said a few more words:\n\n[b]“Now that you have read these two chapters, you know about some of the most important points in our history. Are there any questions?”[/b]\nSomeone from the back asked:\n[b]“Have humans ever paid reparations to the Anthros they exploited?”[/b]\nThe teacher looked serious:\n[b]“Some received money, yes. Especially if they were able to get a good lawyer. For example, Doctor Allister helped many members of our community, together with the Association for the Rights of Anthropomorphs. One of the more prominent families that received a large amount of money, in fact, several million dollars, was the Kofi family. This case was all over the news in the mid-70s. They used part of the money to move into the US. Here they helped to build up parts of Darwin’s Hope. They are now living a bit out of town, but still own houses and flats in the Lamarck District. Their son, Idrissa Kofi, made a name for himself during the war in Afghanistan, where he served as a scout and saved several men of his platoon from an explosion during an ambush. For this, he received the Bronze Star. I am telling you this because you should know some local celebrities, too.”[/b]\nI knew that Mr. Kofi was a soldier, that he served with Antu’s dad. Also, that he is a well-known man around town and all that, but I never heard that Bronze Star thing, or that his family owns so much in our district. Maybe I should speak with him about it sometimes.\nAnother one of my classmates had a question:\n[b]“My grandma always tells me about her time, as she was at my age. She had to work as a maid for a human family. They treated her so bad that she had to sleep outside in the dog kennel. Why were humans so mean to us?”[/b]\n\nMrs. Lancaster swallowed and searched for a proper answer.\n[b]“Well, the anthropomorphic community isn’t the first one in history who was treated that way, as all of you have just read in your history books. The ugly face of slavery appeared all over the world since humans began to form cultures and societies. \nUnfortunately, the US was partly built on the back of slaves. This shameful part of our country's history began back in 1526 and lasted until 1865, as the Civil War ended. And even after that, the Africa-American Community had to fight for their rights. It is said that about 12.5 million people were shipped over the Atlantic, from which 10.7 million survived the journey. From these 10.7 million, only about 388,000 landed in North America. Most of these poor souls disembarked in the Caribbean and South America. We will talk further about the History of Slavery in the USA and the New World in total in later chapters. In case you ask yourself what that has to do with us Anthros, it is simple. Without the Anti-Slavery movements, which happened long before the first Anthro opened its eyes, our fight for freedom would have taken much longer. I know that I am repeating myself here, but it is important for all of you to always remember that. \nWhat you also shouldn’t forget is that many humans supported us and our cause. Without their help, it would have been much harder for us to become free citizens. Most humans are kind-hearted people, who just want to live their lives in peace and harmony. Just like it is in our society. Again, always be thankful to the men and women who fought these fights in the past. But to answer your question why humans did, and still do enslave their kind and Anthros alike, I don’t really know it. What I know is that slaves are mostly seen as very cheap workers, which only need a bit of food and water. That way, the owners of these slaves can make much more money. In the end, the reasons for all these were most possibly two of the greatest evils of this world: Greed, and the feeling that one's own life has more value than another's. \nWe Anthros were first seen as nothing more than property. Not much more than a pet that can talk and do hard work. But this isn’t the case anymore. At least in most countries.” [/b]\nShe took a deep breath.\n[b]“Are there other questions?”[/b]\nNo one wanted to raise their hand anymore.\n[b]“Good, then let us finish for today. Just always remember one thing: Always treat others the way you want to be treated.”[/b]\n\nThe bell rang exactly as Mrs. Lancaster ended her last sentence. I can’t wait for the next history lessons. This lady seems to be an outstanding teacher.\n\nLet’s see, what else do we have, before I close this entry? Oh, yeah. Nikki's and my birthday. She turned 20 this year, and I am now 15 years old. I will make a separate entry about our birthday party soon. Time ran so fast during these last two years. Hell, I could swear it was yesterday that Nikki and I had our first time together. I remember this night so clearly. How shy we both were, the curiosity, the magic of the first time with the one you love. I will link you the entry here, in case you don’t know it. \nWe didn’t make a big deal out of it this year, maybe we will throw a party sometimes later. Nikki wanted to celebrate with our friends in the cabin, but her dad needed it, so we couldn’t do that yet.\n\nAnd before I forget to mention this, Nikki’s parents made us an amazing offer. They want to take mom and me with them to Europe. Austria, to be more exact. Mom is still struggling if we should take that offer, but I don’t think she will let such an opportunity pass. We would visit the capital of Austria, Vienna, with its famous theaters, all the monuments and famous landmarks. This city alone has such a rich history. We would also make a tour through the country, visit other towns, even go to Berchtesgaden, and visit the Obersalzberg.\nThat was Nikki’s idea, since she thought that might be an interesting place to visit. Mr. Kofi said that he wants us to visit a place called Mauthausen because it would be important for us to see. \nI don’t know exactly why, since from what I have found on the Internet so far, this was a horrible place. Maybe we would also visit other towns in Europe too, like London, but the Kofi’s haven’t decided that yet.\n\nWith that, I want to wrap up. \nStay safe everyone!\nYours,\nBalto and Nikki\n\n\n[b]Epilogue:[/b]\n\nI spoke with Mr. Kofi about this money thing. He was a bit grumpy at first, but it was a rather nice conversation afterwards. I will try to write it down here, for those who are interested. It was Sunday morning, the 25th of September. I had to sleep at Nikki’s place for a change, since mine and Nikki’s mom went on a weekend trip together. My girl was still in a deep slumber, as I woke up that day. Since I didn’t want to wake her up, I decided to go downstairs to get some breakfast. This big house was so silent at this time of the day. It was only 7 am, the sun had just risen. Outside, I could hear the birds singing. Fall showed itself from its most beautiful side, with the leaves showing all sorts of colors. It is simply wonderful to look at nature at this time of the year. After I made myself some cocoa, I walked over to the living room, sat down on the couch and switched on the TV. About half an hour later, Mr. Kofi joined me. He stretched his muscular body and yawned, as he entered the room, with a cup of coffee in his hand.\n[color=#75507b]“Morning, champ. You are up early, is something wrong?”[/color]\nI shook my head, while I muted the TV.\n[color=#cc0000]“No, Mr. Kofi. I just couldn’t sleep anymore and didn’t want to wake up Nikki.”[/color]\nThe big cheetah smiled, as he sat down next to me.\n[color=#75507b]“You know, waking up Nicole is almost impossible. Your girl always had a deep sleep.”[/color]\nMy gaze was fixed on the TV screen, as he spoke. My teacher's words from a few days ago came back to my mind. You know, the ones about the wealth of the Kofi family. Nikki’s father patted my back, as I didn’t react to his words.\n[color=#75507b]“Is everything ok, Balto? Do you have anything on your mind?”[/color]\nI sighed.\n[color=#cc0000]“Mr. Kofi, last week our history teacher told us about some celebrities, and she mentioned your parents. Is it true, that they have so much money, and that they own so much property in our town?[/color]”\nHe leaned back and took a deep breath.\n[color=#75507b]“Yes, Balto. My parents got a few million dollars out of two law cases against their former owners and the company that, let us call it, created them. They moved to the US, bought this piece of land, built this house. Then they bought a few more properties on this street, including the house you are living in.”[/color]\nThat was another surprise for me. You see, mom always told me that our house was a present from my father’s parents.\n[color=#cc0000]“But Mr. Kofi, my mom told me something different, that my grandparents gave them the house.”[/color]\nThe big feline smiled.\n[color=#75507b]“Yes, that is one part of the story. See, your grandparents bought the house from my parents, for a special price. And then they gave it to your parents. After your father died, your mom struggled with the costs a house like that brings with it.\nI don’t know if you are aware of the fact that she could never pay the expenses for a house like that with her salary. That is why we support her.”[/color]\nI pulled up my knees, while I looked thoughtful at the silent screen.\n[color=#cc0000]“Mr. Kofi, why are you doing that?”[/color]\nNikki’s father smiled.\n[color=#75507b]“Because your father was my best friend. And your mother is my wife’s best friend. I also gave a promise to your dad, that I will help his family in any way possible. But why is that bothering you now?”[/color]\nI sighed once more.\n[color=#cc0000]“It is just that mom and I are only here because you pay for us. It’s like you would own us.”[/color]\nMr. Kofi got a bit mad, after I said that.\n[color=#75507b]“Balto, you take that back at once. No one here owns anyone. Asha and I share what we have, we help our friends, no, our family. And as a family, we look out for each other. Besides that, what does wealth mean, if you can’t share it with those you love?”[/color]\n\nMr. Kofi always helped others, so that point of his story wasn’t really a surprise. But that the Kofi’s support us with so much money was a hard pill to swallow. I mean, if they won’t do that, mom and I wouldn’t be able to live here, maybe I wouldn’t be with Nikki. I also wondered why my mother never told me that. After he came closer, he continued:\n[color=#75507b]“Balto, heads up. At your age, you shouldn’t worry about things like money. You should worry about school and getting good grades. Now tell me, Balto, how is it in High School so far?”[/color]\nBut I wasn’t in the mood to talk about school, after what he just told me.\nI answered him in a silent voice:\n[color=#cc0000]“Mr. Kofi, why has mom never told me that we couldn’t afford it to live here without your help?”[/color]\nHe only looked at me, sighed, and took a sip from his coffee.\n[color=#75507b]“Balto, you are a smart boy. You will understand that your mom doesn’t want you to worry about money. She does what she can, so you can grow up without worries or fear. She wants you to get the best possible education, so you can follow your dreams. You have one of the best moms I can imagine.”[/color]\nHe then placed his hand on my shoulder.\n[color=#75507b]“Promise me something, boy. Don’t speak with her about all this. It would hurt her badly.”[/color]\nFirst, I only nodded, and Mr. Kofi’s voice became more serious.\n[color=#75507b]“Balto, look me in my eyes, and promise me, that you will not speak with your mother about this.” [/color]\nI raised my head slowly. The feline looked at me with a stern expression in his face.\n[color=#cc0000]“I promise, Mr. Kofi.”[/color]\nHe smiled at me.\n[color=#75507b]“Good. Well, are you hungry? I could use something to eat now. What about pancakes?”[/color]\nMy tail wagged, as we walked into the kitchen. Me with the rest of my now cold cocoa, and he with his cup of coffee. He made pancakes for us, we talked a bit more about school and everything, and about an hour later, Nikki came down to join us at the breakfast table. She was wearing a nice fluffy bathrobe, even with fitting shoes on her paws.\n[color=#3465a4]“Morning you two.”[/color]\nI quickly stood up to give my girl a tight hug and a kiss on her irresistible lips.\nThen we heard her father clearing his throat.\n[color=#75507b]“Kids, please. Not in front of the pancakes. Good morning, my daughter. Sit down, have some breakfast. Did you sleep well?”[/color]\nWe both giggled a bit, while we sat down at the table. Nikki looked at her father and gave him an answer:\n[color=#3465a4]“Yes, Dad. Honestly, I never slept better than with my doggy here by my side.”[/color]\nMy girl gave me another kiss, and I could see Mr. Kofi smiling at us.\n[color=#75507b]“You know, it still looks a bit odd to me seeing you kissing each other. If I look at you two, I still see two innocent kids playing catch in the garden together.”[/color]\nThe big cheetah chuckled.\n[color=#75507b]“But I must say, I am happy. You know Balto, Nicole used to have an awful taste in boys.”[/color]\nNikki interrupted her father.\n[color=#3465a4]“Dad, we had this topic often enough, there is no need to talk about my former boyfriends again.”[/color]\nHer father I both began to laugh, and seconds later, Nikki did too.\nAnd here I want to finally close this little entry. But wait. Now that I read it here on my screen again. Mr. Kofi said that we are one family. Does that mean that I am banging my sister???\n\n\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "Hey there everyone! I hope you all feel fine

Some time has passed since we came back from Ann Arbor. Nikki and I now exercise daily, we eat healthier, what resulted in me having a way better stamina. Our performance skills also increased since we follow Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter’s tips. Lately, we had many rehearsals, next to some plays. We do that to get more money for our group, so we can buy costumes and props. The college is giving what it can, but it still often isn’t enough, even if we make most of those things ourselves. The materials, especially fabrics and wood, became insanely expensive.
Besides that, school has been getting to me. High School isn’t that easy, we have a lot to do, homework frequently takes me several hours a day. Lately, I have not been able to sleep on many nights. This, of course, worried my friends and family. It got so bad that they took away my schoolbooks during the weekends. Last Friday, Nikki and I invited Antu and Mikey to our cabin by the lake. We did Karaoke, went fishing, talked and, well, had some other fun together. But the most important thing was that we all got some desperately needed sleep.
Ok, ok, I hear you. Maybe I should tell you a bit about the ‘other fun’ part.
It was Saturday evening, we just finished the last song of our karaoke session, as Nikki yawned loudly. Antu, Mikey and I were all wearing just shirts and underwear because it was pretty warm inside the cabin. Nikki was wearing a belly top and hot pants. My girl stretched her body, while we boys watched her. Our eyes wandered over her breasts, down to her belly, her slender hips, and her long legs. Her look alone still is enough to make my sheath swell. As Nikki saw how we watched her, she grabbed a big pillow and threw it on us, before she made a few steps to the kitchen, while muttering “boys”.
We giggled, and while we sat down on the couch, I could see that I wasn’t the only one who enjoyed looking at Nikki before. Mikey and Antu both had trouble hiding their excitement. As we saw each other’s situation, we all began to laugh. Nikki heard that, while she rejoined us with some chips and cookies.
“Why are you boys laughing?”
We looked at each other, while we pulled down our shirts a bit more to cover the bulges in our panties. But of course, Nikki knew what was going on. She acted like she would be mad at us:
“Boys, I thought you would be old enough by now to not get aroused every time you see more of a girl’s fur. You should be ashamed. All three of you.”
We lowered our heads and apologized to her. She first reacted to this with a smile, before she began to laugh.
“Oh boys, you are so easy to manipulate. As I would be mad about giving boys a boner. In fact, I am impressed. Mikey, you seem to have grown even bigger since the camping trip last year.”
The gray fox tried to hide his bulge even more now, what made Antu and me giggle.

Nikki sat down on the right side of the L-shaped couch, where she could lean against the backrest. I was sitting next to her, then Antu, and Mikey was sitting behind his tiger. Nikki switched on the TV, and we watched a bit of Lucifer. It was the episode where they sing “Another one bites the dust”. I love these musical episodes.
As the evening went on, Mikey cuddled with Antu on their side of the couch, while Nikki and I watched them. At one point, they seemed to have forgotten us, as they began to kiss each other. Antu even let his hand wander underneath Mikey’s shirt. The fox moaned silently, as he felt the feline’s hand exploring his chest and belly. I couldn’t resist clearing my throat, to show them Nikki and I were still there. They both looked at us, and Antu attempted to take his hands away from Mikey.
Nikki seemed to be a bit disappointed that they stopped and began to gently touch me now.
“Go on you two, I am sure Balto didn’t want you to stop. If you don’t mind, we will join you.”
She didn’t lose any time, pulled my shirt over my head and threw it to the floor. Seconds later, I felt both her hands exploring my upper body, while our friends watched us.
After a little while, Antu asked:
“Balto, do you work out? You seem to have more muscles than the last time I have seen you naked.”
I smiled at the tiger.
“Yes, Nikki and I have been working out regularly since we got back from Ann Arbor. It's important for our performance.”
My cheetah’s hands seemed to be everywhere on my upper body at this point, my member began to grow out of its hideout, while Mikey and Antu continued to watch us.
After a while, the white tiger became curios.
“Can I touch you, Balto?”
I wasn’t so sure about that, but Nikki held me close to her and invited Antu:
“Sure, go ahead. But be gentle. Balto is sensitive.”
As I wanted to protest, Nikki quickly shut my mouth with her hand. Next, I felt her tongue on my neck. She licked it a few times, before she gently bit me. Do you remember the “Dance of the Vampires” play? It was a feeling just like it was back then. An incredible feeling, which was even strengthened by the fake vampire teeth, which Nikki was still wearing. Nikki’s bite seemed to switch off my defenses entirely. Antu came closer to us, knelt on the couch between Mikey and me. My eyes were closed, as I felt his hand on my belly. Nikki continued to gently lick and bite my neck, while her hands wandered over my body. Suddenly, I felt a hand touching the bulge in my panties, massaging it. I knew it was Antu, since Nikki has bigger hands than him. With my eyes still closed, I enjoyed being the center of their attention. Suddenly, I heard Nikki speaking silently:
“Pull his pants down, tiger. Don’t be shy, doggy wants it too.”
Antu grabbed the waistband of my boxer briefs, lifting them a little before slowly pulling them down. I heard him and Mikey giggling, what made me reopen my eyes.
“What is so funny?”
Mikey answered, while he pulled Antu’s pants down:
“Your member became way bigger than it was at the camping trip, Balto.”
With a grin in my face, I answered him:
“As far as I remember, it was almost too big for you back then, foxy.”
Antu chuckled, while he touched my balls:
“I think he could take you with ease now, Balto. But could you take him?”
I remembered Mikey’s size and gulped, while Nikki laughed.
“Good one, Antu!”

Without any more words, the tiger began to sniff my balls. Mikey did the same on Antu’s butt, before he spread the feline’s cheeks and licked in long terms underneath his partner’s tail.
This scene was bot exciting and surprising for me, since I always saw Mikey as a shy little fox.
Antu now began to lick my balls enthusiastically. He seriously has some skills, and so it didn’t take long until my member reached its full size. I felt Nikki’s hands wandering through my belly-fur, Antu’s tongue and his cold nose on my balls, while I watched how Mikey stood up and undressed. His cock really has an impressive size. Nikki saw how I looked at the fox's member, comparing it to my own, and she whispered:
“No need to be jealous, doggy. Your cock has a fantastic size.”
She then signed Antu to move up a bit, and the next thing I felt was how he took the tip of my cock into his mouth. The tiger slowly began to lick and suck, and I couldn’t do anything besides moaning loudly. Meanwhile, Mikey seemed to search for something. He mumbled a few words I couldn’t understand. Nikki took my hand and placed it on Antu’s head, before she talked to Mikey:
“If you are looking for lube, mine is on the nightstand in the bedroom. There are also some condoms, in case you need them. Oh, and there is a towel on the bed, bring that too.”
The fox quickly ran off to the bedroom and came back a minute later with the lube and a small towel, which was quickly placed underneath Antu. It seemed that he couldn’t wait anymore, as he knelt behind Antu and placed some of Nikki’s strawberry-lube on Antu’s butt hole. Nikki just watched us boys playing, at this point she was the only one who was still dressed.
Mikey went into position behind his tiger, rubbing his rock-hard member on the slippery hole in front of him.
With my cock almost completely in his mouth, Antu wiggled his butt, teasing his mate with it. Mikey then grabbed Antu’s hips, before he placed the tip of his dick on the slippery hole. He didn’t lose any more time and shoved his member inside the tiger’s butt. My eyes became big, as I saw how easily Antu was able to take this thing. Mikey pressed his full size into his partner, before he held still for a moment. Nikki also seemed to be impressed by this. She later told me, that she could turn her eyes away from this scene in front of her.
Meanwhile, Antu didn’t stop to suck my cock eagerly. His head moved up and down, while Mikey began to hump him. The whole couch moved, while fox and tiger enjoyed this game of love and passion.
Mikey didn’t hold back, his thrusts were fast and hard, he almost looked like a little bunny. Antu moaned, but his sounds were muffled by my cock in his mouth. My knot soon began to grow, I felt my climax coming closer. My breathing increased. Antu noticed that, and he sucked even harder. I could really hear how Mikey’s growing knot pressed into the tiger’s little butt and plopped out again and again. Finally, it grew too big to be pulled out again. After one last hard thrust, the fox got stuck. A few more humps, and Mikey howled like a wolf, as he shot his warm cum into his friend. For myself, it took just a few seconds longer until I filled Antu’s greedy muzzle with my seed.
He gulped it down and smiled at me, while Mikey was panting hard.
It then was the tiger, who spoke up first:
“That was nice. You taste good, Balto. Our energizer-fox here always tastes a bit bitter.”
Nikki had to laugh.
“Balto had the same problem. Mikey, you just need to eat less meat and more fruits and vegetables. Pineapple, for example, is good for a better tasting cum.”
Mikey growled a bit, what made us all chuckle.
While Antu cleaned my member, Nikki stood up and stretched her body. A brief look underneath Antu showed, why it was better to place this towel there. Antu came hands-free, and this piece of fabric was full of the tiger’s juice.
Nikki looked at the time, before she wanted to excuse herself.
“Ok boys, I will quickly go and take a shower. What about we watch this new Star Wars-series afterwards? If you aren’t too tired for it.”
We boys cheered, before Mikey spoke up:
“Nikki, can we see you naked too? I mean, you have seen all of us nude now.”
My girl smirked.
“Well, I guess it is only fair. And since Balto showed you more than enough photos of me by now, it isn’t that weird anymore.”
Nikki first took off her top, revealing her well-formed breasts with her stiff little nipples, before she turned around, bent over and then slowly pulled down her pants, so we had a fantastic view of her butt and pussy. Especially Antu stared at the now naked girl in front of him.
My cheetah turned around again, and had to laugh, as she saw how we looked at her.
“Boys, you act like I would be the first girl you have ever seen.”
Antu looked a bit ashamed.
“Well, for me, you are. I mean, I know photos, but you are the first girl I see like that for real.”
The feline’s eyes became even bigger, as Nikki came closer.
“Well, Antu, I hope you like the view. As a cute boy like you, you will surely see other girls like that soon enough. Of course only if Mikey is ok with it.”
The fox, who was still hanging on his tiger, only nodded, as Antu asked Nikki something else, while looking at her breasts:
“Nikki, can I, maybe, just quickly?”
He didn’t finish the sentence, but Nikki understood.
“You want to touch my breasts?”
Antu nodded, and Nikki came closer to him.
“Sure. You can squeeze them, if you like.”
Antu touched Nikki’s breasts. First the right one, then the left. He squeezed them with curiosity, and Nikki moaned a bit. Her nipples were still standing, maybe because it was a bit fresh in the cabin by now. Antu also touched them, what made him giggle. To our surprise, Nikki moved even closer to him now.
“You have such gentle hands, want to lick them?”
Now my eyes became big, as Antu took the offer, and licked my girl’s stiff little nipples.
He even sucked a bit on them, until Nikki slowly made a step back.
“Now I know why Balto exploded like that before. You have very tender lips and a nice tongue, Antu. But now, I really need a shower. Balto, you want to join me?”

I quickly stood up to join Nikki, while Antu had a wide grin in his face.
We went to the bathroom, Nikki prepared the shower, then she almost pulled me into the shower cabin and forced me to my knees.
Under the warm water, she placed her left paw on my shoulder, presenting me her wet pussy.
“Lick me, wolf. Watching the three of you made me so horny, but I wanted to avoid doing this in front of them. Lick me out, and don’t dare to stop, before I tell you so.”
That is always a command Nikki doesn’t have to give me twice. I pressed my snout between my girl’s legs, beginning to lick her slightly swollen vulva. The taste of her was incredible as always. I stuck my tongue as deep as I could inside the moaning feline’s pussy. Nikki moaned, almost screamed in pleasure. I know by now how to, how should I say, push her buttons, if I want to make her feel good. I tasted more and more of her juices, Nikki leaned on the shower’s wall, now really screaming in lust. She was already close. I took a deep breath, before I pressed my snout as far as possible inside my girl’s dripping vagina. Nikki tumbled, I felt her fingers and claws on my head. Seconds later, she screamed so load that the last deer in the forest must have heard her. Her whole body shivered, as she was overwhelmed by an intensive orgasm. I sat back and looked up to my girl, smiling, with my muzzle covered in her fluids. Nikki needed a few moments, until she caught her breath and helped me back up.
“Good dog. That is what I needed after the show you three gave me before. Now let shower, before Mikey and Antu start a second round.”
We finished our shower and rejoined the others. We watched this new Andor series, which is actually pretty cool. Not as cool as Mandalorian, but still cool.
The rest of this weekend wasn’t anything special, just three teenager and a sweet girl in a cabin by the lake during a rainy weekend. So, let us move on.

Monday

Do you know the song “Manic Monday” by the Bengals?
This was precisely how I felt that day. First, I overslept because I forgot to set my alarm. Mom had to bring me to school, I forgot my lunch, and my money at home. Thankfully, Mikey and Antu shared their lunches with me. God, I am glad that I had clothes on that day. This day couldn’t get any worse. At least, I thought so. But as it usually happens when you have such thoughts, life will prove you wrong.
It was after the lunch break, during p.e. class, where we had to run around the soccer field. To make it short, I dripped over my paws, what amused everyone around. I even bleed a bit. It really wasn’t my day.
But what I really wanted to tell you about here is the history class we had later. And that was not as bad as the rest of this stupid day. This lesson’s theme was the Origins of the Anthropomorphic Society.
We had this a few times during the last years, but since this is also deeply connected with the history of civil rights and some other themes in biology and science classes, it returns frequently.

Our history teacher this year is an elderly female horse by the name of Mrs. Lancaster. I think she is from England, at least she talks like that. She began to speak about the very first experiments, which took place in the labs of Helix Genetics in Africa. Nothing I haven’t heard before. Some of you, my dear readers, might remember that we met Dr. Lucius Allister in New York, who held a presentation about almost the same topic. But ok, that way I had some time to relax a bit. Sadly, our teacher didn’t like it to see me halfway laying on my desk. She came closer, took a book and slammed it down in front of me. The sound of the book slamming on the table made me startle, while my classmates laughed.

I looked up into the grumpy teacher’s face, and the lady said:
“Mr. Star, I am sorry that my lessons are so boring for you. But I will not accept you sleeping here. Do you really think you can risk missing these lessons? They are relevant for the next exam!”

I grumbled quietly before answering her:
“I am sorry, Mrs. Lancaster. Yet, I know all that from a lecture that Dr. Allister gave in New York.”

Now the lady seemed to be a bit impressed.
“You met Dr. Allister? Well, why don’t you tell your classmates and me something about it? Step forward.”
I really don’t like talking in front of the class, especially not when the teacher is obviously trying to screw me over. But sadly, there was no way out of this. I stood up, while the other kids whistled. I took a few steps, before I turned around and looked at the teacher, who sat down on my desk.
“Begin, Mr. Star.”
I had to think for a moment, but then I remembered how Dr. Allister began his lecture in New York.

“At the beginning of the so-called Cold War, the scientist all over the world tried to find a way to enhance the human body and to create some kind of “Super-Soldier”. In Africa, Dr. Allister and his team worked in a lab for Helix Genetics. They first tried to manipulate the pure human DNA, what showed good results. But it wasn’t enough for the company, since many said that similar results can also be achieved through a breeding program, which was for example tried by the Germans during World War 2. And therefore, they began to experiment with mixing Human and Animal DNA, to get better results. Most of the creatures that emerged from these initial experiments died after a few weeks in the tubes, and it took them about 15 years to present their investors with the first living Anthropomorph. This was a female tiger they called Suki.
This girl was risen by Dr. Allister himself and showed a high amount of intelligence. Sadly, other investors took over at this point because the government wasn’t so much interested in the “Super Soldier” program anymore. Unfortunately, those investors had their focus on quick profit.
The result of that was, that the now created Anthros were not more than rightless workers. Slaves, if you might call it that way. Years later, after Helix produced thousands of Anthros all over the world, things changed again for Dr. Allister’s team. An Indian Businessman visited them and took Suki, who worked with Dr. Allister as his lab assistant at this point, with him. The scientists protested, but they couldn’t do anything, since Suki was property of Helix. This Indian made an exotic prostitute out of Suki, who killed herself shortly after.
Those events were the turning point for many in Dr. Allister’s team, they quitted their jobs and formed a Civil Rights Movement for the Anthropomorphs they helped to create. Thanks to earlier civil rights movements and the help of many supporters, it took only about a year and the Anthros were granted full human rights.”

Here, Mrs. Lancaster ended my “presentation”. She stood up from my chair and walked towards me.
“Ok, I see you learned your lessons well. I only must add that Helix wasn’t the only company doing research in this direction. In particular, the often-overlooked labs of Maisha Genetics were far ahead of all the others. They created Anthropomorphs about 5 years before Helix created Suki. Especially if you know someone whose family originates in Africa, it is very likely that their grandparents were born in one of their labs. Besides that, I am impressed, Balto. But never dare to sleep during my classes ever again. Sit down.”
After I returned to my seat, our teacher continued:
“As you have just heard, Anthropomorphs were first created as soldiers and workers by several companies all around the globe. All this happened not so long ago. To make it a bit clearer for you, just look at yourself. You are all about 14 or 15 years old now. Most likely, your parents are among the first Anthros who were born naturally, while most of your grandparents were born in a laboratory of Helix Genetics or another similar company. Our race may still be young, but we have achieved much in the past few years, starting of course in that we have been granted civil rights. If we take a brief look at American history, particularly that of African Americans or Native Americans, their struggle for these essential rights has taken much more time than ours. They also had to suffer way more and far longer than our species did. This suffering includes countless deaths. It is most likely because of their fights, that we had it way easier in this matter. The reason I mention this is that you all should be grateful, and never make the mistakes humanity made in its past. Sadly, there are even a few groups of Anthros who say that we are better than humans, as we often have an advantage in for example hearing, seeing, sports or learning new things. But it simply isn’t true. There is no more advanced, no more privileged race, we are all equal. We all have our mistakes. Always remember to be respectful to others. Always treat others as you would want to be treated by them.”
Mrs. Lancaster sighed.
“Let us move on to a happier topic, before our time is over for today. Anthros and their influence on culture during the past few years. Does one of you maybe know an Anthropomorphic Celebrity?”
I raised my hand, but someone else was faster:
“Holly Rhoads-Hunter!”
Mrs. Lancaster nodded.
“Yes, she is probably one of the most well-known ones. Holly Rhoads-Hunter is a singer and actor, just in case that any of you don’t know her. Whether intentionally or not, she became something of an ambassador for us Anthropomorphs. Another not so common example is Severa Abbas.
She once was a star in movies and theater, but almost disappeared, after no studio wanted to hire her anymore.
It was said that she is complicated to work with, but no one can deny her success during her prime. Besides those two, we had a few other actors and athletes, who made a name for themselves. One of those was the Light-Athletic Star Jamal Baker.
He outperformed all others at the Olympics 2012 in London by setting three new world records during this tournament.

His hard work and success were the reason many cubs developed an interest in sport and athletics. Then we have Jasmine O’Connor, who is one of the few anthropomorphic stars on Broadway, and in Germany, we have astronaut Michael Bauer. Just a few months ago, he was the first Anthro in space. Of course, we also shouldn’t forget the many army veterans, who served in the Gulf Wars and in Afghanistan. Those men and women often became highly decorated heroes of their companies. These and other examples show that we Anthros can make it far in the human world, if we just work hard enough. Sadly, our time for today is up. For homework, please read chapter 3 and 4 in your history book until Friday and be aware of the exam next Monday about the Anthropomorphic Civil Rights Movement. Class is dismissed.”

The day soon ended after this hour, and I walked to the bus stop. The bus was waiting for us there, I stepped in, placed my bag on a seat in the first row and sat down next to it. I prefer to sit there because I can look out of the windshield, and the loud kids are all sitting in the back.
I used the time to look in my history book, into the chapters we were supposed to read.
They weren’t about Anthropomorphs in particular, they are more about the civil rights movements in our country's past and their most important members. People like Martin Luther King Jr., or Rosa Parks. While I browsed through the pages, I was shocked to read about some of the facts I found there. I don't even want to imagine the cruel treatments people had to go through back then. While I read something about the American Indian Movement and its founders, I heard Mikey’s voice:
“Hey Balto, Is the seat taken? What are you reading there?”
I sighed silently, while I removed my bag from the seat.
“No, Mikey, it is free. Where is Antu?”
“His dad picked him up, they are doing some father and son stuff today.”
Then he looked at the book in my hands again.
“Are you already reading those chapters in the history book?”
I nodded.
“Yes, Mikey. I wanted to read it now because I have a lot to do at home. I still must learn for the math exam tomorrow, and Wednesday is the next meeting with my theater group. We are preparing for this new play, and I have much text to learn.”
Mikey chuckled.
“You work too much, doggy. Now put that book aside, I want to show you something.”
Reluctantly, I put the book down while grumbling about how Mikey had just called me doggy.
“What do you want to show me?”
The fox took out his mobile and presented me a video of him and Antu having sex. To be exact, it showed how Antu sucked on Mickey’s impressive member. Quickly, I put my hands on the display, since we weren’t alone in the bus. I looked at Mikey with a bit of a grumpy expression in my face.
“Mikey, are you nuts? You can’t show that around at school.”
My friend only laughed.
“Calm down. You posted photos and videos of you and Nikki several times. What’s the difference?”
I covered my eyes with my right hand and shook my head.
“The main difference is that we are at school here, and none of our classmates has ever seen that stuff, and I would like to keep it that way. Besides that, how is it with Antu?”
Mikey’s tail wagged a bit, as he answered.
“It is fabulous, and his dad is so cool. You know, for a human.”

I know Antu’s father well by now. He often visits Nikki’s dad, helps him to build stuff, or sometimes they just talk for hours about their time in the military. And yes, he is a cool guy. He is one of the few human beings I have met so far who didn’t look down on us.
Mikey and I talked further, as the bus finally drove off the school and brought us home. His drop-off point was before mine, so I had at least time to read the chapter I started to the end.
I spend the final hours of this day in our kitchen, learning for the math exam with the help of my mom. Well, as far as she could help me with it, as she was preparing dinner at the same time. I can tell you that after two hours, my head was spinning. My mother then forced me to take a break.
“Enough now, Balto. It’s time for dinner. So put these books aside and let us eat.”
After I put my school stuff aside, we had a tasty dinner together. While we ate, it began to rain. Somehow, I always loved to watch the rain through the big window in our kitchen. Suddenly, the front door opened, and I heard a voice I didn’t expect that day. It was Nikki. She was all wet from the rain, so her white top became a little see-through. The weather must have surprised her. After my cheetah cleaned her paws a bit, she joined us in the kitchen.
“Hello, I hope you don’t mind me joining you. I forgot my keys, and my parents aren’t home.”
Mom smiled.
“Of course not, Nicole. Want to eat something? I made pasta with Arrabiata sauce.”
“Oh yes, that would be fantastic, Christa.”
Then she turned her head over to me, after she sat down.
“How are you, my little Fluffy?
I gulped down, before I answered her.
“School is way harder than last year. Tomorrow, we have a big math exam. I fear I will blow it.”
My mother and Nikki laughed.
“I am sure you will do just fine, Balto. Don’t forget the rehearsal on Wednesday, and the little play we have in the elementary school on Saturday.”
While my feline was talking, I couldn't help myself and kept looking at her wet top and translucent black bra. Mom, of course, saw how I looked at my girlfriend, and after she cleared her throat, she spoke in a stern tone:
“Balto, it isn’t nice to stare at a girl like that, even if she is your girlfriend.”
My look went down on the table.
“I am sorry, Nikki.”
But my girl only chuckled, while she ate.
“It's ok. But if you want to apologize for it, I have some dry shirts in your room. Be a charm and bring me one, ok?”
I stood up and quickly ran to my room, fetching a dry shirt and a towel. As I came back, Nikki smiled, as she stood up. She first took off her top, followed by the wet bra. My eyes now became even bigger, as she was standing topless in our kitchen. Nikki then took the towel I brought her to get dry, before she covered herself with the fresh shirt, before she and I sat back down.
“That is way better, thanks.”
Mom took the wet clothes and brought them into the laundry room. For that, she must go through our garage. That gave me and Nikki a little time to talk.
“Doggy, I am flattered you are still looking at my breasts like you have never seen them before.”
I was ashamed by that.
“Sorry, Nikki. I just couldn’t resist.”
She gave me a hug and a little kiss.
“Don’t worry. Now tell me, are you having issues with math again? You know, that was one of my favorite subjects in High School.”
Somehow, it was shameful for me to admit that I had difficulties at school again.
“I simply don’t understand this here.”
I showed her some geometry lessons, where I had problems with. She chuckled, while she looked at them.
“Oh, now this isn't that hard, if you know how it is done. It surprises me that you have issues with it. Here, I will show you. You will get that in no-time.”
And she was right. Again. With her help, I finally managed to understand this stuff. What would I do without her? Mom came back a few moments later, we talked a bit more, before Nikki and I cleaned the kitchen.
The evening passed by fast. Nikki had to go home, as she finally got a call from her mother. I went to bed early that day, since the following day would be a long one, with this exam and everything.


Thursday

In the last part of this little entry, I want to tell you about Thursday the 20th of September. The day began as usual. Waking up at 5:30, washing, breakfast, snoozing over my cereals, almost missing the bus. I am sure some of you know mornings like that. We arrived at school shortly before class started. The first two hours were math, so our exam would take place at the very beginning of the day. And what a long exam it was. It took almost the whole time, until the last of us were through with it. Thanks to Nikki’s tips, I was able to answer everything, and it wasn’t as hard as I have feared it would be.
After this, we had a little break, in which most of my classmates discussed the exam and what they had as answers. I sat down with Mikey and Antu, which were sitting on a bench outside.
They didn’t see me coming closer and were surprised to hear me. At least they didn't seem to have expected me.
“Hey guys.”
Antu tried to hide something behind his back, as he looked at me.
“Oh, hey pal. How was the test? The hardest part for me was this damn third question. The one with the triangles. That was nuts.”
A smile appeared on my face.
“I thought the test would be harder. Nikki told me a few tricks yesterday, so it wasn’t that hard for me.”
Mikey seemed to be a bit annoyed.
“Of course, it wasn’t hard for you, little Einstein.”
That was an odd behavior for Mikey, so I asked further:
“What’s wrong Mikey? Did you have problems with that? Maybe Nikki can give us all a few lessons, she loved math in High School.”
The fox picked up a small rock and threw it away. As he watched it flying, he answered:
“Sure, why not. Sorry Balto, I sometimes really hate you for having it so easy with learning and everything.”
I didn’t know what to answer him on that, and the school bell rang at the same moment. On our way back to the class, I tried to form an answer:
“Mikey, I am sorry. But as said, if you like, I am certain that Nikki will agree to giving us some coaching. Without her help, I could have never answered the questions in that test today.”
Now Mikey smiled a bit.
“Thanks, Balto. Thanks for trying to convince me that you need something like coaching in math from your girlfriend.”
We entered the classroom.
“It is true, Mikey. Without her, I would be the worst student in our class. I swear.”
He laughed and patted my back.
“Sure thing.”

I don’t know why he didn’t believe me. I wasn’t always a good student. But he was right at the point that learning is not as hard for me like it is for others.
After the break it was time for English, then we had lunch break, afterwards biology, in which we talked about the interesting theme of anatomy and sex.

Our teacher here still is Mr. Wertenson, what I find amazing. He is by far my favorite teacher. One of the themes was the differences between the genitalia of the most common anthropomorphic races. While female Anthros mostly look the same, with just some minor differences, males can look quite differently down there. I will not go too much into detail here, I am sure most of you know what I am talking about.
After this interesting hour, we were supposed to have Science class, but the teacher was sick, and so Mrs. Lancaster took over. We were all surprised to see her, but I wasn’t disappointed by it.

She asked us to sit down and be quiet, before she explained:
“We had to make a change in the schedule, since your science teacher called in sick. Please take out your history books, Chapter 3 and 4, and read it quietly. This way you don’t have to do it as homework. Begin.”

Chapter 3 is, as I have mentioned it before, about the civil rights movements in general. Chapter 4 was more specific about us Anthros. The first part was about the works of Helix Genetics and other companies, then they wrote about Dr. Lucius Allister and his team of scientists. They even put a photo of Suki in this book. She was so cute. But I saw one major difference, her teeth were way more like those of non-Anthro tigers. You know, bigger fangs and everything. She clearly had more animal-like characteristics than modern day Anthros. And she didn’t have hair. To be clear, I am not talking about her fur, I mean the head hair. We Anthros clearly changed since then. In this chapter, I also read something I haven’t heard ever before. Another name for the Anthro race, which was “Humana Bestias”. I must admit, it somehow sounds cool.
After we all were done with the chapters, Mrs. Lancaster said a few more words:

“Now that you have read these two chapters, you know about some of the most important points in our history. Are there any questions?”
Someone from the back asked:
“Have humans ever paid reparations to the Anthros they exploited?”
The teacher looked serious:
“Some received money, yes. Especially if they were able to get a good lawyer. For example, Doctor Allister helped many members of our community, together with the Association for the Rights of Anthropomorphs. One of the more prominent families that received a large amount of money, in fact, several million dollars, was the Kofi family. This case was all over the news in the mid-70s. They used part of the money to move into the US. Here they helped to build up parts of Darwin’s Hope. They are now living a bit out of town, but still own houses and flats in the Lamarck District. Their son, Idrissa Kofi, made a name for himself during the war in Afghanistan, where he served as a scout and saved several men of his platoon from an explosion during an ambush. For this, he received the Bronze Star. I am telling you this because you should know some local celebrities, too.”
I knew that Mr. Kofi was a soldier, that he served with Antu’s dad. Also, that he is a well-known man around town and all that, but I never heard that Bronze Star thing, or that his family owns so much in our district. Maybe I should speak with him about it sometimes.
Another one of my classmates had a question:
“My grandma always tells me about her time, as she was at my age. She had to work as a maid for a human family. They treated her so bad that she had to sleep outside in the dog kennel. Why were humans so mean to us?”

Mrs. Lancaster swallowed and searched for a proper answer.
“Well, the anthropomorphic community isn’t the first one in history who was treated that way, as all of you have just read in your history books. The ugly face of slavery appeared all over the world since humans began to form cultures and societies.
Unfortunately, the US was partly built on the back of slaves. This shameful part of our country's history began back in 1526 and lasted until 1865, as the Civil War ended. And even after that, the Africa-American Community had to fight for their rights. It is said that about 12.5 million people were shipped over the Atlantic, from which 10.7 million survived the journey. From these 10.7 million, only about 388,000 landed in North America. Most of these poor souls disembarked in the Caribbean and South America. We will talk further about the History of Slavery in the USA and the New World in total in later chapters. In case you ask yourself what that has to do with us Anthros, it is simple. Without the Anti-Slavery movements, which happened long before the first Anthro opened its eyes, our fight for freedom would have taken much longer. I know that I am repeating myself here, but it is important for all of you to always remember that.
What you also shouldn’t forget is that many humans supported us and our cause. Without their help, it would have been much harder for us to become free citizens. Most humans are kind-hearted people, who just want to live their lives in peace and harmony. Just like it is in our society. Again, always be thankful to the men and women who fought these fights in the past. But to answer your question why humans did, and still do enslave their kind and Anthros alike, I don’t really know it. What I know is that slaves are mostly seen as very cheap workers, which only need a bit of food and water. That way, the owners of these slaves can make much more money. In the end, the reasons for all these were most possibly two of the greatest evils of this world: Greed, and the feeling that one's own life has more value than another's.
We Anthros were first seen as nothing more than property. Not much more than a pet that can talk and do hard work. But this isn’t the case anymore. At least in most countries.”
She took a deep breath.
“Are there other questions?”
No one wanted to raise their hand anymore.
“Good, then let us finish for today. Just always remember one thing: Always treat others the way you want to be treated.”

The bell rang exactly as Mrs. Lancaster ended her last sentence. I can’t wait for the next history lessons. This lady seems to be an outstanding teacher.

Let’s see, what else do we have, before I close this entry? Oh, yeah. Nikki's and my birthday. She turned 20 this year, and I am now 15 years old. I will make a separate entry about our birthday party soon. Time ran so fast during these last two years. Hell, I could swear it was yesterday that Nikki and I had our first time together. I remember this night so clearly. How shy we both were, the curiosity, the magic of the first time with the one you love. I will link you the entry here, in case you don’t know it.
We didn’t make a big deal out of it this year, maybe we will throw a party sometimes later. Nikki wanted to celebrate with our friends in the cabin, but her dad needed it, so we couldn’t do that yet.

And before I forget to mention this, Nikki’s parents made us an amazing offer. They want to take mom and me with them to Europe. Austria, to be more exact. Mom is still struggling if we should take that offer, but I don’t think she will let such an opportunity pass. We would visit the capital of Austria, Vienna, with its famous theaters, all the monuments and famous landmarks. This city alone has such a rich history. We would also make a tour through the country, visit other towns, even go to Berchtesgaden, and visit the Obersalzberg.
That was Nikki’s idea, since she thought that might be an interesting place to visit. Mr. Kofi said that he wants us to visit a place called Mauthausen because it would be important for us to see.
I don’t know exactly why, since from what I have found on the Internet so far, this was a horrible place. Maybe we would also visit other towns in Europe too, like London, but the Kofi’s haven’t decided that yet.

With that, I want to wrap up.
Stay safe everyone!
Yours,
Balto and Nikki


Epilogue:

I spoke with Mr. Kofi about this money thing. He was a bit grumpy at first, but it was a rather nice conversation afterwards. I will try to write it down here, for those who are interested. It was Sunday morning, the 25th of September. I had to sleep at Nikki’s place for a change, since mine and Nikki’s mom went on a weekend trip together. My girl was still in a deep slumber, as I woke up that day. Since I didn’t want to wake her up, I decided to go downstairs to get some breakfast. This big house was so silent at this time of the day. It was only 7 am, the sun had just risen. Outside, I could hear the birds singing. Fall showed itself from its most beautiful side, with the leaves showing all sorts of colors. It is simply wonderful to look at nature at this time of the year. After I made myself some cocoa, I walked over to the living room, sat down on the couch and switched on the TV. About half an hour later, Mr. Kofi joined me. He stretched his muscular body and yawned, as he entered the room, with a cup of coffee in his hand.
“Morning, champ. You are up early, is something wrong?”
I shook my head, while I muted the TV.
“No, Mr. Kofi. I just couldn’t sleep anymore and didn’t want to wake up Nikki.”
The big cheetah smiled, as he sat down next to me.
“You know, waking up Nicole is almost impossible. Your girl always had a deep sleep.”
My gaze was fixed on the TV screen, as he spoke. My teacher's words from a few days ago came back to my mind. You know, the ones about the wealth of the Kofi family. Nikki’s father patted my back, as I didn’t react to his words.
“Is everything ok, Balto? Do you have anything on your mind?”
I sighed.
“Mr. Kofi, last week our history teacher told us about some celebrities, and she mentioned your parents. Is it true, that they have so much money, and that they own so much property in our town?”
He leaned back and took a deep breath.
“Yes, Balto. My parents got a few million dollars out of two law cases against their former owners and the company that, let us call it, created them. They moved to the US, bought this piece of land, built this house. Then they bought a few more properties on this street, including the house you are living in.”
That was another surprise for me. You see, mom always told me that our house was a present from my father’s parents.
“But Mr. Kofi, my mom told me something different, that my grandparents gave them the house.”
The big feline smiled.
“Yes, that is one part of the story. See, your grandparents bought the house from my parents, for a special price. And then they gave it to your parents. After your father died, your mom struggled with the costs a house like that brings with it.
I don’t know if you are aware of the fact that she could never pay the expenses for a house like that with her salary. That is why we support her.”
I pulled up my knees, while I looked thoughtful at the silent screen.
“Mr. Kofi, why are you doing that?”
Nikki’s father smiled.
“Because your father was my best friend. And your mother is my wife’s best friend. I also gave a promise to your dad, that I will help his family in any way possible. But why is that bothering you now?”
I sighed once more.
“It is just that mom and I are only here because you pay for us. It’s like you would own us.”
Mr. Kofi got a bit mad, after I said that.
“Balto, you take that back at once. No one here owns anyone. Asha and I share what we have, we help our friends, no, our family. And as a family, we look out for each other. Besides that, what does wealth mean, if you can’t share it with those you love?”

Mr. Kofi always helped others, so that point of his story wasn’t really a surprise. But that the Kofi’s support us with so much money was a hard pill to swallow. I mean, if they won’t do that, mom and I wouldn’t be able to live here, maybe I wouldn’t be with Nikki. I also wondered why my mother never told me that. After he came closer, he continued:
“Balto, heads up. At your age, you shouldn’t worry about things like money. You should worry about school and getting good grades. Now tell me, Balto, how is it in High School so far?”
But I wasn’t in the mood to talk about school, after what he just told me.
I answered him in a silent voice:
“Mr. Kofi, why has mom never told me that we couldn’t afford it to live here without your help?”
He only looked at me, sighed, and took a sip from his coffee.
“Balto, you are a smart boy. You will understand that your mom doesn’t want you to worry about money. She does what she can, so you can grow up without worries or fear. She wants you to get the best possible education, so you can follow your dreams. You have one of the best moms I can imagine.”
He then placed his hand on my shoulder.
“Promise me something, boy. Don’t speak with her about all this. It would hurt her badly.”
First, I only nodded, and Mr. Kofi’s voice became more serious.
“Balto, look me in my eyes, and promise me, that you will not speak with your mother about this.”
I raised my head slowly. The feline looked at me with a stern expression in his face.
“I promise, Mr. Kofi.”
He smiled at me.
“Good. Well, are you hungry? I could use something to eat now. What about pancakes?”
My tail wagged, as we walked into the kitchen. Me with the rest of my now cold cocoa, and he with his cup of coffee. He made pancakes for us, we talked a bit more about school and everything, and about an hour later, Nikki came down to join us at the breakfast table. She was wearing a nice fluffy bathrobe, even with fitting shoes on her paws.
“Morning you two.”
I quickly stood up to give my girl a tight hug and a kiss on her irresistible lips.
Then we heard her father clearing his throat.
“Kids, please. Not in front of the pancakes. Good morning, my daughter. Sit down, have some breakfast. Did you sleep well?”
We both giggled a bit, while we sat down at the table. Nikki looked at her father and gave him an answer:
“Yes, Dad. Honestly, I never slept better than with my doggy here by my side.”
My girl gave me another kiss, and I could see Mr. Kofi smiling at us.
“You know, it still looks a bit odd to me seeing you kissing each other. If I look at you two, I still see two innocent kids playing catch in the garden together.”
The big cheetah chuckled.
“But I must say, I am happy. You know Balto, Nicole used to have an awful taste in boys.”
Nikki interrupted her father.
“Dad, we had this topic often enough, there is no need to talk about my former boyfriends again.”
Her father I both began to laugh, and seconds later, Nikki did too.
And here I want to finally close this little entry. But wait. Now that I read it here on my screen again. Mr. Kofi said that we are one family. Does that mean that I am banging my sister???
