  "writing": "[u][b][center]26. Friends and Idols[/center][/b][/u]\n\nDarkness falls, as the furred crusader lets his gaze wander over the city he has sworn to protect. No evil can crawl out of the shadows without him hearing it.\nOh, sorry. I went through some of my dad’s old comics, and as it seems, he was a huge fan of Batman. For myself, I am more a Marvel Fan, but Batman is also cool. \nLet me start again.\n\nHey there folks, we hope you are all feeling well. Several months have passed since the Howling Musketeers went to New York to perform in a competition organized by the Minskoff Theater. Since that day, we had many rehearsals, some minor gigs and, what was the biggest thing lately, we were invited to perform a skit at our local theater. Well, it was just me, to be honest. They played William Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night's Dream”. I was asked to perform as Puck in the last scene, to recite the final poem. Those are also the final words of the whole play, but I think I don’t need to tell you that again. It was a fun thing to do, and meeting some professional actors was a fantastic experience for both Nikki and me. The entire thing was organized by the principal of Nikki’s college. My girl thinks the thought behind this was to promote the college’s theatrical program, and maybe to get more sponsors. It appears that everything these days is just around money.\nAs I said before, the past few weeks were full of learning and exercising. The school year, which was also my last year in middle school, ended on the 24th of June. Next year, I will be officially a High School student. That will be so cool. I spoke to my mother about taking on a small job in the summer, as Nikki's father offered me a job in his small carpenter business. Some of you might remember that I worked with him in the past. Mr. Kofi showed me how to work with wood, and he even allowed me to use his power tools when we built up furniture for the cabin at Spaulding Lake, where Nikki and I now spend most of our weekends.\n \nAs we wrote in our last entry, I have made a new friend by the name of Antu Strife. He is really a cool boy, and quickly became a good friend to Mikey and me. Perhaps, he is even more than just a friend to Mikey. The two spend a lot of time together in school, and they visit each other quite often. Mr. Kofi frequently meets with Mr. Strife, Antu’s father. The two know each other from their time in the Army. Antu’s father also sometimes helps us to build stuff. On one of these occasions, Mr. Strife told me a few things about Antu’s past, and how he as a human became the father of an Anthro. A sad story, I can tell you that much.\n\nWhat we want to tell you about today began a long time ago. Almost two years ago, to be exact. Some of you might remember the rock concert Nikki and I visited back in October 2020. It was my first, and so far, the only concert I visited. One of the singers there was a woman named Holly Rhoads-Hunter, who is a big star in the anthropomorphic community and one of Nikki’s biggest idols. Even humans seem to like her music.\n\nAfter the concert, I wrote about the day in my journal. Holly’s daughter Hazel, who we had met at the concert, found this specific entry, and contacted me after reading it. Since that day, we have been writing to each other regularly on Pawtalk, and became good friends. It didn’t take Hazel long before she told me that her mother is none other than Holly Rhoads-Hunter. Nikki freaked out when she heard that.\n\nOk, so much for the background. Now let us start with the main story. For this, we have to go back to the weekend of June 18-19.\n\nPart 1: Invitation\n\n\nIt was one of these lazy weekends, which we spent at Lake Spaulding. I woke up first on this rainy Saturday morning. I decided to make myself some cocoa and go online, as Nikki was still asleep. It didn’t take long until a message from Hazel popped up:\n\nHazel: Hey, Balto. How are you?\nBalto: Morning, Hazel. I am fine. What about you?\nHazel: I feel great! Balto, I'm writing to you because I wanted to ask you something. Do you remember we talked about you and Nikki coming to visit us? I spoke to my parents, and they said yes. Mom would be home the week of July 4-9. So, if you two want to visit, that would be the perfect time for it.\nAlthough we’ve been talking about a visit for months, this came as a bit of a surprise for me.\nBalto: That is cool, Hazel. But I need to ask my mom if she allows it. And Nikki, if she has time. I will tell you later, ok? We are currently at our house by the lake, and Nikki is still sleeping.\nHazel always loves it to hear about our retreat at Spaulding Lake, and well, our activities here. She is usually not very subtle in her questions.\nHazel: Did you two have sex lately? I heard Johana and Kirara last night, but I wasn’t allowed to join them. That was so unfair.\nBalto: Yeah, we had sex yesterday. \nI am sorry you couldn’t have fun with them.\nHazel: How was it? Please, tell me.\nBalto: Hazel, please, that is embarrassing. Can we talk about something else? Do you think your mom could give us some tips for better acting?\nHazel: Oh, sure. Sorry, Balto. I am just so horny lately. I haven't had sex for weeks. And as you know, I love to see and hear about you and Nikki having sex.\nBalto: Hazel, please.\nAt that moment, I heard that Nikki was going in the bathroom.\nBalto: Nikki is up, I will talk to her about the visit. See you later, Hazel.\n\nI closed the chat to join Nikki in the bathroom. No, not what you might think now. Sure, Nikki is often horny in the morning, but not that day. She was taking a shower, as I entered to brush my teeth. While the sweet scent of Nikki’s strawberry shampoo filled the room, I told her about my talk with Hazel:\n“Nikki, I was writing with Hazel before. She invited us to visit her in July. She said that her mom will be home, and that she could give us tips on acting and singing.”\n\nNikki didn’t respond, I just heard a few fast steps behind me. Then my girl suddenly hugged me from behind and pressed me against her wet fur, while she happily shouted:\n“Wohoo! That is awesome, Fluffy! When can we visit them? Have you already asked your mom?”\nHer grip was so tight that I had difficulty breathing. Therefore, I could only utter my next words quietly: \n“Nikki, please. Not so tight.” \nMy cheetah loosened her embrace a little and apologized.\n“Sorry, doggy. I am just so excited. We are allowed to visit one of my favorite rock stars, one of my idols. Tell me, when exactly can we go?”\nAfter she calmed down a bit, I told Nikki about what Hazel said to me before. And since I was wet anyway after her hugging attack, we took a shower together.\n\nAfterward, we made a long walk around the lake, went to a nearby restaurant for dinner, and after we came back to the cabin in the early evening, I called my mom in a video call:\n“Hey mom, how are you?”\nMom sounded a bit strange, it also looked like she wasn’t at home.\n“Hello my son. I am fine. Just a little drunk. What can I do for you?”\nI became worried.\n“Mom, where are you? Is everything ok?”\nMr. Kofi came in front of the screen.\n“Hey Balto, hello Nicole. We are in a club, don’t worry. Your mother just had a drink too much.”\nNikki giggled, but I was still worried. My mother never drank much alcohol. Well, as far as I know. She came back on screen.\n“I am sorry, Balto. We will better talk tomorrow. Give Nicole a kiss from me, ok?”\nShe hung up. It went silent, while I looked at the dark screen. Nikki placed her hand on my shoulder. She asked me in her soft and gentle voice:\n“Balto, is everything ok? Your mom is just having some fun. My parents are with her, nothing can happen to her.”\nI only nodded, with my eyes still fixed on the black screen of my phone. Nikki asked again:\n“Balto, what is wrong?”\nI almost whispered when I answered Nikki.\n“Nothing. It is just, I have never seen my mom drunk before.”\nMy girl took me into her arms. While she caressed my head, she said,\n“Balto, she just wants to have some fun. Don’t worry about her. As I said, my parents are with her, they will keep a close eye on her.”\nAgain, I nodded.\n“I know, Nikki. I know.”\nMy cheetah tousled my hair.\n“Good doggy.”\n\nNext, I showed Nikki my chat with Hazel. The sex-talk part made her laugh, especially that I was ashamed of talking about our sex life. At that moment, I wondered if she was talking much about it with her friends. But I didn’t ask her about that topic. We spent the rest of the evening with talking about the visit, about Hazel, her brother Johana, and the special relationship those two have together. Another topic we discussed was Holly Rhoads-Hunter. As I have mentioned it before, Nikki is a big fan of her. My kitty let me listen to some of her songs, and then we did a video call with Hazel.\n\n“Hi, Hazel.”\nThe young canine girl seemed a bit distracted. And was moving suspiciously on her chair, and there was a strange, but familiar sound in the background.\n“Oh, hey Balto, so cool you called. Did you talk to Nikki about the visit?”\nHazel’s facial expressions were a bit out of control, but I tried to ignore that. Nikki, on the other hand, was quite amused by that. I answered Hazel’s question:\n“Yes, I did. She is sitting right next to me.”\nHazel then waved to Nikki.\n“Oh, hi Nikki! Cool to see you again!”\nNikki replied with a smile:\n“Hello, Hazel. Balto told me that you offered us to visit you and your family. That would be amazing. But you haven’t told Balto where you are living. And girl, can you switch off the vibrator you are using right now? Just for a minute.”\n\n\nHazel was a bit embarrassed.\n“Oh, yeah, sorry. I am just so pent-up.”\nThe buzzing sound stopped, and our friend continued:\n“Did I forget to tell you where we are? Sorry. We live in Ann Arbor, Michigan. That is about 40 miles west of Detroit.”\nNikki smiled.\n“Michigan? Not that far away, but still a bit too far for me to drive there. Best is we take a flight.”\nI looked nervously at Nikki and asked:\n“A flight? In an airplane? Nikki, I was never inside a plane. Or out of this state, or even out of town without mom.”\nNikki giggled while she patted my head gently.\n“Yes, Balto, in an airplane. I tried it once by flapping my arms quickly, but that didn't work out so well.” \nNikki and Hazel laughed while I grumbled. I hate it if she makes fun of me like that. Nikki added, after she called down:\n“I had to stay in the hospital for a week after I jumped off that tree. Don’t worry, doggy. You will travel with me, and you know that I will always watch over you. I do that since you were eight years old.”\nIn an annoyed tone, I replied:\n“Nikki, I am not a little cub anymore. It is just that I never traveled without mom. The comic cons were the longest time I was away from home.”\nNikki placed her hand on my shoulder.\n“Balto, the comic cons were almost as long as we would stay at Hazel’s place. Besides, I am certain your mom would find good use for the free time. \nMaybe she will have a few more threesomes with my parents.”\nThe leering feline giggled and laughed as I tried to hide my face in shame. Of course, Hazel agreed with Nikki: \n“Good one, Nikki! She is right, Balto. Don’t worry so much about your mom.”\nI almost begged them:\n“Can we change the topic? Please?”\nMy girl now pressed me against her chest.\n“Sorry, Hazel. Talking about sex is still a bit awkward for Balto sometimes. Even though he can be a pretty dirty doggy himself.”\nI growled, while my girl was still holding me tight to her. Hazel seemed to be amused.\n“Aww, his growl is so cute.”\nLuckily, my girl had mercy with me.\n“Yeah, but as much as I enjoy teasing him from time to time, let us change the topic. Since we can’t take the car, and I don’t like it to travel by train or bus, we would have to take the plane. Hazel, do you know the closest airport?”\nHazel seemed to check something on her phone. It took her a minute, then she said:\n“Dad says that is the Detroit Metropolitan International Airport, he could also pick you two up there. It would be just a 30-minute drive.”\nI threw in:\n“I should talk about this with my mom first. I am not sure if she would even allow me to travel that far with Nikki alone.”\nThis time, Nikki was in my side.\n“Balto is right. We should talk to with Christa, before we go further with our planning. We will write to you tomorrow evening.”\nHazel seemed disappointed.\n“Ok, I understand. Oh, Johana wanted me to say hello to you from him.”\n\nNikki happily answered:\n“Say hi back to him for us, ok? I can't wait to meet him.”\n\nAfter we finished the call, Nikki and I went to the bedroom, undressed, and made ourselves comfortable in the wooden king-size bed.\nMy gaze wandered to the ceiling, my thoughts circled Hazel and our visit, as my girl and I lay side by side on the mattress. Of course, Nikki noticed that. Her calm voice pulled me out of my thoughts.\n“Balto, where are you with your thoughts?”\nI sighed, before I turned my head to my girl.\n“Nikki, you still often treat me a like a little puppy. But I am not a puppy anymore. I am almost fifteen.”\nNikki sat up and leaned back against the headboard of the bed. She took a deep breath, before she looked at me. Her hand gently stroking through my chest fur, as she silently said:\n“Balto, maybe it's because every now and then, I still see the little boy in you that I babysat for so long. I am sorry.”\nSilence fell on the room. I needed a few minutes, until I figured out what to say.\n“Can you tell me why you chose me as your boyfriend? I mean, every time I am at your college for the rehearsals, the other boys look and laugh at me. I hear their comments, I can see how they look at us when we walk past them hand in hand.”\nShe interrupted me, while she looked at me with her big purple eyes.\n“Balto, are you having one of your overly thoughtful moments again? Listen. I love you. You are a kind, smart boy. I love it how you care for those who are close to you. I love that you are a thinker. You are so different from the most boys I know, but in a good way. \nOur relationship is now lasting for two years already. And I don’t want to miss a single moment of it. Please believe me when I say that no other man will ever get as close to me as you do, especially mentally. I am aware that many people are looking at us at the campus. Did you really think I didn't notice them? Balto, take these looks as a compliment.”\nShe smiled at me and snuggled up, before she continued:\n“Now tell me, Balto. What are you really thinking of? Is it your mom? Is it that she might have sex tonight? Or are you afraid of going on vacation without her?”\nAgain, it took me some time to find an answer. \n“It is the trip. What if mommy needs me? What if I do something wrong there? Or if we need to get home? Is a flight safe? How will the humans at the airport react to us?”\nNikki smiled and gave me a kiss. A warm smile followed, which gave me comfort.\n“Balto, we will talk to our parents tomorrow. If you don’t want to visit Hazel and Johana, please tell me. And flights are safe. It is, in fact, the safest way to travel. We also won’t be the first Anthros on a plane, and if we need to go home earlier, we will simply take an earlier flight home. And what could you possibly do wrong? Well, besides being a little Mr. Smartypants again and annoying people with useless facts.”\nMy cheetah laughed loudly, while I looked grumpy at her.\n“Hazel’s mom is a rock star. She is famous. I bet she's snobby. And stuck-up.”\nNikki held my muzzle shut with one hand, and her tone became harsher.\n“Balto Star, I think your mother told you not to judge people without knowing them. I met her at the concert we visited together. She is a nice person. Just like Hazel and Johana.”\nI whimpered, since Nikki held my muzzle in a tight grip. As Nikki heard these sounds, she let go. Now I was able to answer her statement:\n“Sorry. It is just, in the news they say that the stars and the rich people are different from us. That they live in a different world, with money, and parties, alcohol, and drugs.”\n\n\n\nNikki sighed.\n“Balto, you watch far too much TV. Not every celebrity is like that. I bet that Holly Rhoads-Hunter is a loving and carrying mother, just like yours. They invited us into their home, and I really want to take advantage of this opportunity. Think of what we could learn from an experienced performer. So please, if you don’t want to go there, tell me, and don’t try to find an excuse. Be honest with me, and I promise that I won't be mad at you.”\n\nMy girl looked at me with a pleading gaze in her beautiful eyes. It was the kind of look that could melt even the hardest stone. I told her that I would love to visit Hazel and her brother. Besides that, the opportunity to visit a celebrity in his home would be an amazing story to tell. We decided to continue this talk the next day together with our parents. Since it was quite late at that point, we ended the conversation, and turned off the lights.\n\nThat night, I dreamed about the streets of a town far in the north. It was a dark night, as I wandered naked through the snow-covered alleys. Then I saw him. A gray, feral canine, who searched for food in the trash. He must have heard my steps, since he lifted his head and looked at me with his bright yellow eyes. The dog grinned at me, as he came closer. I took a few steps back, but I tripped over something under the snow and landed hard on my butt. While on all fours, I tried to escape the fast-approaching canine. But he was faster and pinned me down. I tried to scream, but couldn’t make a single sound. I wanted to resist him, but my body didn’t follow my commands anymore. Like I would be remote controlled by someone or something, I raised my butt and tail, offering myself to this dog. He moved backwards. My body shivered, as I only waited for him to jump on my back. To my surprise, I suddenly felt his tongue on my paws. He licked them enthusiastically, pressed his muzzles as deep as possible between my paw-pads.\nThe picture faded, just as this strangely familiar looking canine wanted to mount me.\nSlowly, I opened my eyes, just to feel something wet and warm on my paws.\n\nI looked next to me, just to see that my girl wasn’t there. I looked down the bed, where I saw Nikki’s tail twitching from one side to the other. After I removed the blanket, Nikki smiled at me from her kneeling position. I felt how my girl licked on my left paw, what caused me to moan loudly. \nIt was such an amazing feeling, as Nikki gently spread my toes with her hands, so she could lick deep between the pads. Just like this dog in my dream. Gently, she sucked on my toes, one after the other.\n \nMy right hand wandered between my legs, over my swollen sheath, down to my balls, and back up. I could hear Nikki purring, while she further licked my sensitive paws. She must have enjoyed this as much as I did. Meanwhile, my member grew out and was soon standing at his full size.\nA mischievous grin appeared on her face, as she looked up at me with her warm tongue still teasing my paws. My level of lust raised, I wanted more. \n\nI moved a bit upwards, and Nikki followed. I could see her wonderful body in the morning light. Her look made me smile, and my girl smiled back. I spread my legs and opened my arms. Nikki took my invitation to come closer. Her nose touched mine, before I placed my arms around her neck, then we kissed each other. I opened my muzzle, an opportunity that Nikki used to stick her tongue deep into my mouth. We both moaned loudly into this sensual kiss. I wish this moment had lasted forever. But Nikki suddenly stopped. She sat up, so I had a pleasant view of her slender hips and her stunning breasts. I reached for them with both hands, felt their firmness, as I squeezed them. They seemed to have grown a bit over the past few months. Sometimes I can’t believe that this girl is here, with me. It still often seems like a dream. \n\n\nNikki looked at me and tilted her head, as she noticed how I looked at her.\n“Balto, is everything ok? I know that look in your eyes.”\nGently, she touched my cheek.\n“You are not dreaming. But I can give you more stuff to dream about.”\n\nNikki rubbed her butt on my still stiff member, while she looked at me with a lustful expression in her eyes. She lifted herself up a bit, grabbed my dick and placed its tip under her dripping wet sex.\nMy breathing became faster. Nikki slowly lowered herself down. Inch by inch, my member slipped inside her tight and warm pleasure grotto. Even after two years, this feels like heaven. After my member stuck balls deep inside her, Nikki stopped for a second. The feline placed her hands on my chest, lifted herself up, until my cock nearly slipped out of her vagina. She grinned, and accompanied by a loud groan, she let herself fall back down. As soon as my member was fully back inside her, she lifted herself up again, and back down. Her pace increased, and soon she was riding my cock like a jockey rides a horse. How Nikki circled her hips during that drove me crazy. My knot soon began to swell, what made Nikki moan even louder. The smacking sounds coming from her moist vagina aroused me even more, so I began to move my hips in Nikki’s rhythm. My girl screamed in pleasure and lust. Soon, my knot grew too big, and I got stuck inside her, after she pressed herself down on it. Nikki began to shiver. She hissed and pressed her claws into my chest, as a powerful orgasm overwhelmed her body. Her vagina tightened even more, what pushed me over the edge. My whole body cramped, I screamed Nikki’s name, as I shot my warm cum deep inside her.\nI was panting hard, while my wild feline smiled down at me. She lifted her hands from my chest, noticing a little blood on her nails. \n“I am sorry, Balto. Are you ok? Why didn’t you say something? That must have hurt.”\nMy first answer was a smile, and as I finally caught my breath, I responded:\n“It is ok, I haven’t felt much of it. It was just like after your “Dance of the Vampires” play. You remember? When you bit my neck?”\nNikki nodded and smiled.\n“Yes, I remember that. Especially how afraid I was, after I noticed the blood on your neck. I thought your mom would kill me if she sees that. Thank God that she must have thought it was just theatrical blood. But now, let us enjoy this moment, before we get up. I promised dad to clean the house, before we drive home.”\n\nIt took about 20 minutes, until my knot was small enough again for Nikki to get it out of her vagina. A trail of cum followed my member, as she stood up. Nikki grinned, while she presented my work to me. Like a good boy, I licked her clean, while Nikki did the same with my cock. \nLater, we cleaned the house, the garden, and Nikki’s car. In the evening, we left the house by the lake. I always feel a little sad whenever we have to leave this place. During the past few months, it became a second home for us. But let us move on, we still have a lot to talk about.\n\nHazel and I chatted a bit on the way home, she told me a bit about her hometown, her father’s job, about her two brothers, and what we could do at their home during our possible visit.\nDue to their mother is a well-known celebrity, they cannot simply leave their home. But they live in a large house that is surrounded by many acres of land, so that shouldn’t be such a big problem.\nHazel sent me a few photos of candy, which her father made. I showed them to Nikki, and even she licked her muzzle. Usually, she isn’t that much into sweets.\n\nAs Nikki and I arrived back at my home in the evening, I think it was about 6 p.m., we noticed that my mother wasn’t there. Because of that, we walked over to Nikki’s home. \nIn there, we found our parents, naked and cuddled up close on the couch. Mr. Kofi was laying on his back, with mine and Nikki’s mom in his arms. I could see black leather cuffs on my mother's wrists.\nWhat I also saw was Mrs. Kofi's slender body. It had always escaped me until now how sexy Nikki’s mom is. She has a small and firm butt, just like Nikki, and her paws have black, well-formed pads. \nIt is clear to see from who Nikki has her good looks. My girl giggled, as she noticed me staring at the scene in front of us. \nShe whispered into my ear:\n“We should do that again sometime, too. It has been a long time since our last threesome.”\nMy response was a mad stare at Nikki, and she tousled my hair.\n“Oh, come on, doggy. I know how much you love it to have two girls taking care of you.”\nNow I looked even madder at her. But not because of her words. It was because she was right. I loved it having sex while Trish watched us, and how the raccoon licked me clean, after my member slipped out of Nikki’s pussy. The images in my head made my shorts tight, if you know what I mean. Our parents were still asleep, as Nikki and I silently sneaked upstairs to Nikki’s room.\nI walked in first, closely followed by Nikki. She closed the door behind her. Then she came closer to me, hugged me from behind. Her hands wandered over my body, while I felt her breath on my right ear:\n“I noticed your boner, doggy. And how you looked at my mother down there.”\nShe pulled my t-shirt over my head and threw it on the floor, then she pulled down my pants. Now I was standing there, only covered in my fur, with a hard boner between my legs. To my surprise, Nikki walked away from me. I looked after her, just to see that she took a collar with a leash attached to it out of a drawer. There was another thing in her hand, but I couldn’t say what it was at that moment. She went back to me and put the collar on me. After she was done, the feline commanded me to go on all fours. Since I didn’t react at first, she gave the request a boost with a pull on the leash.\n“Down now! Bad doggy. And don’t dare to touch yourself.”\nAfter I went on all fours, Nikki led me to her queen-sized bed. Next, I had to sit on the floor in front of the bed. From there, I could watch Nikki taking off her clothes, everything besides her panties. My cheetah was standing close to me, the scent from her wet vagina drove me crazy. My nose came closer to the source of this heavenly smell, but Nikki stopped me.\n“You want to lick my pussy, little doggy?”\nI nodded and wanted to get closer to her, but Nikki held me back with the leash.\n“You are lucky to have me as your girlfriend. Other girls would be mad, if their boyfriend looked at their mother like you did it before. Now pull my panties down, but with your teeth. No hands allowed.”\nGently, I took this small piece of fabric between my teeth and pulled it down, all the way to her ankles. As the panties were down far enough, Nikki stepped out of them. I raised my head and looked at Nikki, with her wet underwear still in my mouth. She laughed, as she saw me like that.\n“Good boy. Now bent over and lift your tail.”\nI wasn’t so sure about what she had in mind for me, but I followed her command. I could hear the well-known sound of the lube bottle, shortly before Nikki placed some of this cold stuff on my sensitive butthole. A moment later, Nikki pressed something hard against my butt. \nI was panting a bit, as that thing was fully inside me. But my girl wasn’t done yet. I could see her taking a little remote. She pressed a button, which caused the thing inside me to start vibrating. I couldn’t do more than moan. My erected member twitched. \nNikki sat down on the edge of the bed, spread her long legs, and presented herself to me. This beautiful view made me whimper, as I waited for her next command.\n\nThis was so mean of her. Nikki lifted my head a bit with her hand, and I could see a big grin in her face. Then I felt a slight pull on the leash. \n“Eat me out. And don’t stop until I allow you too. If you do well, I might allow you to fuck me.”\nI began to lick her wet lips enthusiastically. Her scent and taste robbed me of my senses. Nikki leaned back, that way I was able to lick deep inside my feline’s vagina. She moaned, screamed of lust, as my tongue entered her wet vagina. \nSuddenly, someone knocked at the door. The voice of Nikki’s mother could be heard:\n“Nicole, are you in there?”\nNikki silently moaned, while she tried to answer her mother:\n“Yes, mom. *Ahh* I am *ooh* here. Balto is *arrfff* here with me.”\nWe heard Mrs. Kofi laughing.\n“Please come downstairs when you are done, ok? Have fun, kids.”\n\nIt may sound strange, but a part of me would have wished for Nikki’s mom to come in and join us. Yeah, I know. A sick idea. \nNikki placed her hands on top of my head and pressed me closer against her. Her moans became louder, while my tongue played with her little pearl. This plug in my butt was still vibrating, Nikki even increased the strength of that thing. My only thought was to mount my cheetah. I wanted her so badly. Next, I could feel Nikki’s claws on the back of my head. Her breathing became faster, her legs began to shake.\nShe was close, I knew that. I stuck my tongue as deep as possible into her honeypot, eager to get every drop of her tasty juice.\nNikki screamed in pleasure, as she reached her climax seconds later. The whole house must have heard that. Her entire body was seized by it, and it took several moments, until the slender cheetah fell on her back onto the bed. My tail wagged, while I listened to Nikki’s heavenly breathing. My muzzle was completely covered in Nikki’s fluids. It tasted so sweet, as I licked my muzzle clean. To my surprise, I heard Nikki giving me another command in an exhausted voice, after she finally turned off this plug:\n“Balto, take the plug out, and shove it into my ass. Now!”\n\nCarefully, I took that thing out of my butt. It wasn’t big, so it wasn’t hard to do. Fortunately, it was clean, besides the lube on it. At that moment, I recognized that my member wasn't standing out of its sheath anymore. But I didn’t care. Pleasing my girl was way more important to me. While I was crawling onto the bed, I could see how Nikki prepared her butt for it with some lube. I grabbed one of the pillows and placed into underneath Nikki’s butt, so I became easier access to my girl’s backdoor. Nikki spread her cheeks with both hands as I placed the thing on her rosette. Inch by inch, the plug disappeared inside my girl. I thought she might want to wear that plug for the rest of the evening, that we would go downstairs now, but she had other things in mind.\n“Good dog. Now take the lube and put it on your hand. Take a little more this time.”\nA strange command, but I did what I was ordered to do. Even if I didn’t understand the reason at that point.\nAfter I was done, my right hand was fully covered in this strawberry-flavored lube. My gaze wandered over Nikki’s body, while I waited for the next command.\n“Look here, Balto!”\nShe took a photo of me with her mobile. I looked a bit goofy, since I was surprised, what made her laugh.\n“Doggy, you really don’t know what comes next? I want you to stick your hand inside my pussy. It is called fisting. Don’t worry, I did that with Trish several times. Don’t be afraid.”\nI was indeed afraid.\n“But Nikki, wouldn’t that stretch you out down there? You know, since my hand is thicker than my penis.”\nHer legs were widely spread, I heard Nikki moan as she switched on the plug again with that little remote. Carefully, I touched her moist and swollen little pussy. \n\nMy hand wandered over it, until Nikki repeated her command: \n“Don’t worry, Balto. A girl’s pussy made to be stretched far more during birth, your little hand won’t cause any damage. Please. I want that now.”\nI remembered a video about birth, which we saw as part of the sex education lessons in school. You can believe me if I say that talking about birth during sex is the wrong kind of dirty talk. Birth is dirty, bloody, it looked like a horror movie. Like Aliens, just that the baby found a different way out of the woman’s body. Damn, sorry for ruining the mood. Let us come back to my lusty feline, who was waiting for me to do my duties.\nMy fingers wandered down her slit, my heart was racing. Then I pushed my fingers into the dripping wet hole. First one, then two. After I moved them in and out a few times, I added a third, then my fourth finger. Nikki’s moans became louder once more.\n“Go on, Balto, this is good.”\nAt this point, curiosity took over. I tried to force my thumb inside as well, the resistance became bigger, since Nikki is still pretty tight down there. Her body moved from one side to the other, as I wiggled my fingers inside her, in addition to my attempts to force the rest of my hand into her vagina.\nIt took a few minutes, but then my hand was wrist deep inside Nikki’s wet cave. She screamed in lust, as I began to lick her clit, while I carefully moved my hand inside her. The feeling was incredible. It didn't take long for Nikki's body to rear up, as she reached her second climax. I could feel her muscles contracting around my hand, and it took a minute, until I was able to pull it out. Nikki was exhausted and panted heavily. After I crawled up to her, I could see my girl’s happily smiling face.\n“Thank you. This was amazing. Let us take a shower now. There is one last thing I want to do.”\nWe went to the bathroom on the opposite side of Nikki’s room, and into the big shower cabin. Nikki turned on the water, told me to kneel and to close my eyes. I could imagine what she had in mind, and a few seconds later, I felt how she marked me with her urine. At one point, I even stuck my tongue out, to have a taste. It wasn’t that bad, but far away from my favorite drink. After she was done, Nikki lifted me up, and we shared a long kiss under the warm water. She helped me to get clean and pulled the plug out of her butt. Nikki cleaned it, then we got dressed and moved downstairs.\nOur parents were sitting in the living room, wearing bathrobes, and watching the news. My mother turned her head towards us, after we sat down on the couch.\n“Oh, look who is finally joining us. Now tell us what you have done during the past few days at the lake.”\nNikki chuckled, before she answered:\n“Well, we made long walks, watched TV, and relaxed. The cabin is so amazing.”\nNikki’s father stepped in:\n“That is nice to hear, Nicole. You and Balto spend a lot of time at the lake lately. Originally, I wanted to rent it to tourists. But I think you two are happier there. Just be aware that I need the house next weekend for a meeting with some of my friends from the army.”\nNikki seemed to be a bit disappointed.\n“Damn, but can we have it on the first and second of July? We want to make a little BBQ with our friends from the theater group.”\nMr. Kofi chuckled. \n“Sure. But please leave the house whole, okay?”\nNikki placed her hand on my shoulder.\n“I promise, dad. And there is another thing we would like to talk about with all of you.”\nThe adults looked at us, and my mother seemed to be a bit afraid:\n“Please don’t tell us that you are pregnant, Nicole.”\nMy cheetah burst out in laughter. After she calmed down, she answered:\n“No, Christa, don’t worry. I am not pregnant. The thing is, Balto and I have friends in Michigan, and they invited us over for a week in July. We wanted to ask for your permission. \nSince they are living in Ann Arbor, it would be the best to take a flight to Detroit Metropolitan International Airport to get there. Their mother is a professional singer and actress, so maybe Balto and I could use the time to learn something from her. Please, can we go?”\nMy mom was the first to respond:\n“Let me summarize that briefly. You two want to go to Michigan, in an airplane, to visit a family you barely know. Nicole, I don’t think that I am comfortable with that. Who is this singer anyway?”\nI cuddled close to Nikki, as she answered:\n“Her name is Holly Rhoads-Hunter. We are friends with her kids. Please, that is a chance you only get once. It would mean so much to us.”\nNikki’s mother spoke up, as she heard the name.\n“Holly Rhoads-Hunter? This rock star? Christa, I am aware that this isn’t exactly your kind of music, but she is a big number in the music industry. That could really help our kids. I think we should let them go. It wouldn’t be much different from them staying at the lake house. Just that they stay in a well-protected home with other people. And Michigan is not that far away. We can always drive there and get the kids home, in case that something goes wrong.”\nMom looked at Mrs. Kofi.\n“Sure, Asha. But I know my son. He was never away from me for such a long time. What is if he gets homesick? Or when one of his allergies kick in? Or if he gets scared during the flight? Or if they are mean to him? You know how sensitive he is.”\nMrs. Kofi took my mother’s hand and looked her in the eyes.\n“Christa, who is more afraid now? Balto, or you? He must make his own experiences. Nicole will be with him all the time, so nothing bad will happen to him. And think of the stories he could tell. He would be instantly the coolest kid in school, if he tells the story about him visiting a rock star at home.”\nMom sighed.\n“I guess that you are right again, Asha.”\nShe turned her eyes over to me.\n“But you will call, or at least write me every day, and if anything is wrong, you tell me that. Did you understand? I also want the exact address and the phone numbers of those friends and their parents.”\nThen mom looked at Nikki with a stern look.\n“And you promise me to keep my son safe, Nicole.”\nNikki stood up and gave my mom a hug.\n“Sure, I will watch over little Fluffy, and I promise to bring him back without a scratch. Thank you! This will be so cool!”\n\nLittle Fluffy. Will Nikki ever stop calling me names like that? I am not a cub anymore.\nFor the rest of the evening, we discussed the journey, Mr. Kofi booked the flights for us, and we sent Hazel a short note when we will arrive at their airport, so they can pick us up. Next, we looked at Ann Arbor in Google Earth. \nThat was the first time we saw how big the property of Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter really is. Later, we watched TV with our parents, and as it was about time to go home, Mrs. Kofi asked me to come with her for a moment. \nWe moved over to the kitchen, and there she nervously began an odd conversation. As mentioned before, she was only wearing a bathrobe. The fact she was naked underneath that thing somehow let my imagination go wild. Please don’t judge me for that. \n\nWhile I was looking at the feline with big eyes, Mrs. Kofi said:\n“Balto, what I wanted to talk to you about is what I heard from Nicole's room earlier.”\nMy ears dropped in shame.\n“I am sorry, I know we were too loud. I promise it will n…”\nShe interrupted me.\n“No need to feel sorry, Balto. In fact, I am impressed. Tell me, what have you two done up there? Even Idrissa’s ears became bigger, as he heard his daughter screaming like that.”\nI was feeling extremely uncomfortable in this situation. Talking about my sex life with the mother of my girlfriend really isn’t my favorite thing to do. To make the situation even worse, her bathrobe opened a bit, while she was taking a water bottle out of the fridge. Nikki’s mother has an amazingly sexy body. My attempt to cover my eyes seemed to amuse her. Gently she touched my cheek, before she continued the conversation:\n“Balto, I can understand that it may sound strange to you, that I am asking about your sex with Nicole. Call it the curiosity of a mother.”\n\nI gulped. But since she was always supported Nikki and me, I felt that I can talk openly with her. Still a bit nervous, I tried to form an answer: \n“Well, Nikki showed me something new today. She called it fisting. It felt weird, but she liked it pretty much.”\nA slight grin appeared on the felines face.\n“So, Nicole is teaching you new tricks. As it seems, she is a good teacher. I didn’t know my daughter was into things like fisting. Just be sure to always use enough lube, before you shove your hand inside her vagina. I remember how Idrissa and I tried it the first time. We were young, too hasty, and his hands were a bit too big. Believe me, I could have killed him for the pain I felt at that moment. It took a lot of training and the birth of Nicole, until he was able to do it.”\nSuddenly, Nikki’s voice let me wince a little.\n“To do what, mom? What are you two talking about? Balto, your mother wants to go home. She needs to get up early, and you have school tomorrow.”\nI took a deep breath. Somehow, I was glad that Nikki saved me from this conversation.\n“Ok. Bye, Mrs. Kofi. Bye Nikki!”\n\nI hugged my girl tight, and as my mother and I were about to leave, I heard how Nikki and her mom having their own conversation in the kitchen. Sadly, I couldn’t hear anything of it, since mom was pushing me through the front door.\nAfter mom and I came home, I prepared the stuff I needed for the next day, mom made me some hot milk with honey, then it was time for bed.\nThat night, I had another weird dream. Even odder than my last one.\nThe short version? Nikki had sex with her mother. Ok, ok, I hear you. Here are a few more details: \nNikki was sitting on her bed, enjoying a paw massage from her mother, who was kneeling in front of the bed. After a while, Nikki spread her legs, presenting her sweet, wet plum to her mother. And the older cheetah took this invitation with pleasure. She buried her snout between Nikki’s legs, licked her daughter’s most sensitive spot, what made my girl moan loudly. \nNikki placed one hand on her mother’s head, while she enjoyed the greedy tongue playing on her vagina. Then Nikki laid down on her back, with her legs still widely spread. Mrs. Kofi followed her daughter, crawling on the bed on all fours. As she was above Nikki, they looked each other deep in the eyes, before sharing a long kiss.\nA shadowy figure appeared, came closer to the naughty girls. Sadly, my alarm ended the dream at that point. I wonder what would have happened next. I also wondered what Nikki would say to this dream. We will come back to this topic later.\n\nOk, so much for the first part of this entry. Next, I would like to tell you about the last week of school before summer break.\n\n\nPart 2: Last week in Middle school\n\n\nMy last days at middle school. Luckily, I won't have to go to another school next year because Seppala Middle School is also home to our local high school. It is just a different building on the campus.\nMy alarm clock woke me up at 6 a.m. from the aforementioned dream.\nTired, I stood up and walked out of my room. Next stop was the bathroom, then it was time for breakfast. My mother had prepared some cereals for me, plus fresh orange juice. Since she bought this juicer, mom makes fresh juice all the time from whatever fruit she can find. What is cool because it tastes much better than the stuff from the market. While I was enjoying my breakfast, mom and I talked a bit about the day and our plans for the rest of the week. Since Nikki and I would be gone for a week in July, we wanted to spend the next few days together. You know, watching movies, make walks, and such stuff. She also wanted to see a doctor with me. Don’t worry, I am not sick. I only need a new recipe for my hay fever medication and a new EpiPen. Unfortunately, I have a few allergies. Besides my hay fever, I am allergic to stings from bees, wasps, and other insects. As if that wouldn’t be enough already, I am also not allowed to eat nuts and apples in a raw form, what is a perfect excuse for not eating green food. Mom says that in most cases, I won’t need something like an EpiPen. But better save, than sorry.\n\nI couldn’t wait for summer break. \nI wanted to play video games, work on my journal, spend time with Nikki, and besides that, we had a few trainings with the theater group on our list. Not only do we have some new members and volunteers with the Howling Musketeers, but we also have a professional vocal trainer now. The principal of Stark College seems serious with his support for us, what is amazing. The vocal trainer is a lioness in her 50s, her name is Severa Abbas. As she told us at the first meeting, she is a former actress and dancer. But due to her age and some other problems, she needed to find a new profession. And that is why she now works as a trainer. So far, I only met her twice. The first time was as the principal introduced her to us, and the second time was at our first training together. Somehow, I have the feeling that she doesn’t like me. Ms. Abbas always yelled at me to speak louder, clearer, but regardless of what I did, it was always wrong. The worst thing for me was as she excluded me from the training after some time. That also pissed off Raphael, what resulted in them having a heated discussion. The result was a half-hearted apology, in which she said that she had never worked with kids before. I guess we will see where this goes with her. In my opinion, she hasn't made many friends in our group so far.\n\nBut this should only be a side note for now. More important for me was something I saw in the schoolyard during our lunch break. As usual, I had made myself comfortable in the grass underneath the big trees. Mom had made me chicken sandwiches that day, they were so delicious. When I was done eating, I let my gaze wander over the yard. My classmates played and ran around, while I just tried to relax and to enjoy the warmth of the sun, before we had to go back to class. Then I spotted Mikey. I was already wondering where he was because he usually spends the break with me. The fox wasn’t alone, alongside him came Antu, the white tiger boy, who had joined our class quite recently. \n\nMikey and I became fast friends with him after the tiger came to Darwin's Hope with his dad. Antu’s father is a human, and a close friend of Mr. Kofi. They served together in the same unit in the army. Mikey and Antu spent a lot of time together lately. What surprised me that day was to see them walking hand in hand. Without any doubts, they would make a great couple. I giggled silently, as I imagined who would be the more dominant part in their relationship. In my opinion, it would be Antu.\nThe tiger spotted me, waved, and then the two joined me at my little spot underneath the trees. \nAfter they sat down next to me, we had a nice little conversation. Antu told us about his favorite restaurants and the places he had already visited with his father, both in our city and while he traveled with him from one military base to another. We talked until the bell rang, and we had to go back inside.\n\nThe rest of the day wasn’t much to talk about, just the usual school stuff. Well, beside the last hour. We were allowed to visit the part of our school, which houses the Seppala High School. Somehow, I was disappointed by it. This part looked mostly just like the rest of the school. Including dirty and damaged toilets, but they are to be renovated during the summer. Well, at least one thing there was special. We crossed a showcase with prices, trophies and certificates the school had won in the past. \nMost of them were for winning talent and sports competitions. A quick glance at the dates on the signs showed that some time had passed since the last victory.\nOne trophy had a photo next to it, which showed a familiar looking girl. The description underneath confirmed it: Nicole Kofi, winner of the 2018 Erie County High School Talent Contest. Nikki looked so cute back then. After about half an hour, it was time to go back to our classroom.\nEveryone was relived, as the bell ended the day. Including our teacher.\n\nI was already on my way to the bus, as my mother called. It was just a short call, in which she asked me to wait for her in front of the school. The reason was that she had made an appointment with the doctor and wanted to pick me up. I used the time to play a little puzzle game on my mobile. \n\nMy mom arrived about 20 minutes after the school had ended. We drove to the doctor, and afterward, we went home.\nWe enjoyed a tasty dinner together, while we watched two episodes of Lucifer. When we finished eating, I helped mom clean up, then I went to my room and turned on my PC to chat a bit on Pawtalk. Nikki seemed to have been waiting for me because it took her less than a minute to call me. I wondered what she would say about the strange dream I'd had the night before.\n\nI took the call and started the conversation.\n“Hey Nikki, how are you? How was your day?”\nNikki seemed to be in a good mood.\n“Hey, cutie. It was ok. And yours? Is everything ok at school?”\nI nodded with a smile.\n“Sure, Nikki. We were allowed to take a look at the part of the school we will go to next year. But it wasn’t something special, besides some decorations. I have seen a photo of you in a showcase there.”\nNikki was surprised.\n“A photo of me? Oh, I think I know which photo you mean. I won a talent show in 2018, was it from that?”\nI clapped my hands.\n“Yes! You looked so cute back then.”\nThe feline looked into the camera with played anger.\n“Do you think I am not cute anymore?”\nHer look somehow freighted me, and I folded back my ears in submission while I shook my head.\n“No, Nikki. I just meant that you were already cute back then.”\nMy girl began to laugh.\n“You look so sweet when you are scared. Fluffy, all is fine. Honestly, I don’t remember much of this contest. Just that it was somewhat important for the school. I think my mom has filmed the whole thing. If I don’t forget, I will ask her about it.”\n\n\nNikki took a deep breath, and her voice changed into a more serious tone.\n“Balto, what I really wanted to talk about with you is the theater group. I had a group call with the others before, and we decided that we have to do something about Madam Abbas. \nThis woman tries to take complete control, although she is only hired as a vocal trainer. She now wants trainings daily, wants to decide who can join and who has to leave the group. We had a meeting with her today, during which she announced that she wants you and Miguel out of the group.”\nI gulped, could believe what Nikki just said.\n“Why? Did we do something wrong?”\nNikki shook her head.\n“No, Balto. The simple reason is that she doesn’t like you, what she openly admitted during the meeting. And Miguel, well, Miss Abbas also dislikes Mexicans. She even called Miguel sloppy and lazy. Raphael literally exploded in anger. He wanted to see the principal right away, but sadly, he had already left the school. Don’t worry, ok? If she really manages to exclude only one member, we will all leave. And that is something the principal will never let happen.  Ms. Abbas is sawing the branch she is sitting on, and soon, she will fall.”\nThis unpleasant news made me sad. \n“Nikki, maybe it would be better if I leave the group.”\nNikki shouted into her microphone:\n“Balto, you take that back immediately! As long as you are with me, you will not quit, especially not because of a power-hungry wannabe star! We will talk to the principal as soon as we can. If we are lucky, Ms. Abbas will have to look for a new job by the end of the week.”\nNikki scared me at that moment.\n“Nikki, please. Stop shouting, you scare me.”\nNikki calmed herself.\n“Sorry, Balto. It is just.” My girl sighed. “Let us change the topic. Do you have something to talk about?”\nI gulped nervously.\n“Well, I wanted to tell you about the dream I had last night.”\nMy girl smiled at me from the monitor.\n“Oh? Did my doggy have a naughty dream?”\nAgain, I had to gulp, while my heart was beating fast. I guess I was silent for a bit too long, since Nikki added:\n“Doggy? Are you still with me? Tell your cheetah, what you have dreamed about.”\nAnd so, I began to tell her:\n“Well, I dreamed of you and your mom doing things together.”\nNikki tilted her head.\n“Things? Do you mean what I think you mean?”\nI nodded, before I answered.\n“Yes, you two had sex together.”\nNikki chuckled, as she leaned back in her chair and put her paws on her desk.\n“Tell me more, Balto. Come on.”\nAshamed, I began to tell her about my dream.\n“Well, first your mom gave you a paw massage, you moaned loudly and spread your legs, so your mom could lick you down there. After a while, you leaned back, and your mother moved above you. Then there was a kiss. I remember that I saw a shadowy figure appearing in the back, which came closer, but then my alarm woke me up.” \nThe feline looked at me suggestively.\n“That is all? I thought there would have been more. It seems like you woke up right before the main event. Balto, it was just a dream. A strange one, yes, but still just a dream. \nDon’t put too many thoughts into it.”\nNikki had to think for a second.\n“But doggy, I maybe should tell you about something, too. A couple of weeks ago, my mom came up to my room to speak with me. I was naked and stayed that way while we talked. I could see how she checked me out, how her eyes roamed over my body. The strangest thing was that she asked me if I would have sex with her, if she wasn’t my mother.”\n\nHer reaction, together with this story of hers, made me kind of curious. My ears were standing up straight, while I asked her:\n“Would you?”\nNikki went silent for some time, before she finally answered:\n“Well, mom is a good-looking woman. Just like your mother. So, yes, I would. Hm, and to be fair, tell me. Would you like to have sex with her, if you could?”\nHave you ever wished for a hole opening underneath yourself, so you can disappear? That was exactly what I wanted to happen at that moment. \nBut since that was unlikely to happen, I had to say something to Nikki. Ashamed and stuttering, I admitted to my giggling cheetah:\n“Well, if you ask me like that, yes. She is hot. Well, for a mom.”\n\nI didn’t need my speakers to hear Nikki’s laughter, while I disappeared underneath my desk. I really told my girlfriend, that I find her mother attractive enough to have sex with her. Luckily, Nikki took it with humor. After she was done with laughing, she said:\n“Balto, all is fine. We are talking about entirely hypothetical stuff here. So come back up and look at me, sweetie.”\nSlowly, I came back up, with my ears folded back in submission. My eyes became big, as I looked at the screen in front of me. Nikki had taken off her shirt, and I could see her firm breasts. This view makes me smile every time. Nikki appeared to like the way I looked at her, and said:\n“That’s more like it. I know how much you enjoy it seeing them, Balto. Now let us talk about something else, what I forgot to mention before. On Wednesday, we have a group meeting at the college. I have spoken with your mother before, and she will bring you here after school. Raphael wants to try one last time to talk sense into Ms. Abbas. He wants to try making it clear to her, that she is only a trainer, and not our boss. But Raphael isn’t very optimistic, that she will understand that. Anyway, we are not in the position to fire her. That is up to principal Schaeffer and the council. We can only hope for the best.”\nNikki sighed.\n“It is getting late, Fluffy. We both should go to bed. I love you, sleep well.”\nNikki formed a heart with her hands for the camera. I did the same while I replied:\n“I love you too, Nikki. See you tomorrow.”\n\nI yawned, and was a bit shocked, as I looked at the time. It was way past my bedtime. I went to bed, but I couldn’t sleep. My mind circled the theater group. As you can imagine, I didn’t get much sleep that night. Sometimes, I hate my brain.\n\nTuesday was rather eventless. In class, we only talked, watched a movie, in the afternoon, we had sport. I can’t tell you how much I hate sport. Especially if we must play any games. This time, we had to play soccer. As usual, I was voted last into a team, and then I was told to sit on the bench. But as you can imagine, it was the best thing that could have happened to me. That way I had the time to write down some notes and to think about more important things.\n\nAfter I came home that day, mom asked me to help her in the garden. We cut the lawn and took care of mom's vegetable patches. She loves to grow her own vegetables, mostly carrots and such stuff. This year, she is trying to grow blueberries. From what I understood, they look good so far.\nWe just need to keep the snails away from them. Mom yoked that we should get a duck or two to get rid of the snails, but she is afraid that I would eat them. It isn’t my fault that duck is tasting so delicious.\nBut let us move on to Wednesday now.\n\nThe school day was, just like the days before, nothing special. In fact, it was a boring day. At least, we had our cooking class in the afternoon. This time, we made a New York Cheesecake. It was so tasty!\n\nAfter school was over, mom picked me up and brought me to the college. As we arrived, I could already see the rest of the Howling Musketeers waiting in front of the main entrance. \nMom drove to the parking lot, where I gave her a kiss and left the car. She drove home, since there was no need for her to wait. Nikki was here, and I would drive home with my girl after the meeting.\nMiguel was the first one who spotted and greeted me. Nikki was in the middle of a conversation with Raphael and Svetlana, which is why she didn't see me at first.\n\nI spoke with Miguel for a while, before Thomas, Gabriel, Angelike, and Joseph joined us. Raphael, Nikki, Svetlana, and Jonathan followed shortly after. My girlfriend gave me a hug, then we walked over to the event hall. Inside, we met with Ms. Abbas.\nThe lioness wanted to begin a training session as usual, but Raphael cut her off after her first few sentences. A discussion followed, which turned into a loud dispute between the two after only a few minutes. I tried to cover my ears, but ultimately, I had to leave the hall.\nI simply cannot stand such heated debates. Nikki followed me outside, where we sat down on a bench. First, we were sitting there in silence. Then I heard her speaking in a concerned voice:\n“Balto, is everything ok? Raphael is still talking to Ms. Abbas. This woman is stubborn as a mule.”\nI looked to the ground, as I answered her:\n“I just can’t stand if people yell at each other.”\nNikki sighed and placed her hand on my shoulder.\n“Balto, adults sometimes do that. Sure, it is stupid in most cases, but it is normal. Now come, let us go back inside. The others need us in there.”\n\nNikki took my hand, and just as we were about to go back inside, we saw the principal walking towards the entrance of the event hall. A look at his face clearly showed that he was annoyed by something.\nNikki greeted him, but the big rottweiler didn’t respond. At least, he held the door open for us, as we re-entered the hall behind him.\nRaphael and Ms. Abbas were still arguing on stage, while the rest of our group was sitting in silence on chairs in the first row. The director walked straight up on stage, where he used his powerful voice to silence the two squabblers.\n“What the hell is going on here? My secretary told me that Mr. McAlister here called several times. I have a lot of work in my office, so better make this quick.”\nMs. Abbas was faster than Raphael with giving him an answer:\n“This group here is a catastrophe! You told me I should train them, show them how to strengthen their skills. But they don’t do what I tell them to do. I was a star once, I played on Broadway and in numerous movies, and I never experienced such an unprofessional bunch of wannabe actors. The girls cannot move, the men are good for nothing. And this child. You never told me that I would have to work with a child. I demand you to inform these amateurs that I am in charge, and that my decisions are final!”\nRaphael nearly exploded with pent-up rage, but somehow managed to stay calm in front of the principal.\n“Ms. Abbas, with all due respect. You are only our vocal trainer, and nothing else. Since you are here, you try to take over this group. You insulted us. You excluded Balto from exercises. \nAnd not only that, but you deny all successes we had during the last months. Every one of us simply has enough of you.”\nMs. Abbas screamed back at Raphael and the principal:\n“I am in the show business since I was 16. I was one of the first anthropomorphic movie stars. I will not accept rewords from a bloody amateur.”\nNow the principal raised his voice:\n“Ms. Abbas! Mr. McAlister is right, I only hired you as a vocal trainer for this group. Nothing more, nothing less. This group is the best one Stark College had in years, and I will not accept you destroying it. We hired you because we wanted to provide further support to the group. Mr. McAlister has proven himself as a great leader, and I will not accept any attempts from outside to change the group. Did I make myself clear?”\n\nMs. Abbas puffed angrily, before she answered in her usual condescending tone:\n“No, this is unacceptable! If I am supposed to train them, then I am the leader, and I will make the important decisions. I will decide who joins and who will leave the group. And the first ones to go are the boy and this Mexican there. I can’t work with either of them.”\nThe principal finally had enough.\n“I can’t believe what you just said. Or, better, how you said it. Mr. Rodrigo is a Mexican, yes. But at this College, we see the person, not the heritage. And like him, Balto here has proven his talent and his worth for the group several times. \nMs. Abbas, you are fired. I will not accept a hateful, arrogant, or even worse, a racist teacher inside my school. Get out of here.”\n\nMs. Abbas shouted and cursed when she left the event hall. None of us were able to say anything, we all just looked at the principal. The rottweiler needed a few moments to calm down before he soke to us:\n“I apologize for the inconvenience caused by Ms. Abbas. This woman was supposed to help you. Please go on with your training. Next time, I will involve you in decisions which affect the group so directly. You all do a wonderful job. Oh, and before I forget it. \nMy colleague at Seppala Middle School called and asked for you to perform during this year’s closing ceremony. Nothing big, just some songs or small sketches. Would you be interested in doing that?”\n\nRaphael answered him: \n“Sure thing, principal Schaeffer.” \nThen our leader looked at me. \n“Balto, isn’t the Seppala your school? Would it be ok for you to perform in front of your classmates? Believe me, the judgment of classmates can be scarier than that of any critic out there.”\nThis made me chuckle.\n“I don’t care about them. Let’s do it. Otherwise, it will be a boring party. They want us to dance there, but barely anyone in my class can dance. And if it comes to my classmates, most of them don’t like me anyway.”\n\nNikki interjected:\n“Balto, I doubt this is true. What I think is that they simply ignore you because they feel that you don’t want to have anything to do with them. Don’t get me wrong doggy, but even if you have improved in the past two years, you still have a very introverted personality. And that isn’t easy to handle for most people. Maybe this is a chance to improve their opinion of you, Flu… I mean, Balto.”\n\nShe was about to say it. She wanted to call me Fluffy in front of all the others. Gladly, she stopped herself before it was too late. I sighed with relief, while Miguel grinned at me. The Mexican Wolf began to laugh, since he figured out what Nikki really wanted to call me. But he kept it to himself.\n\nThe rest of the meeting was pretty much as usual. We talked about Friday, I spoke with Miguel about this “Fluffy” thing, then Nikki and I drove back home. My girl and I spent the rest of the day learning for Friday, until she had to go home. \n\nThursday was uneventful, so let us skip it and move on to my last day in Middle School.\n\nFriday, June 24. The last day before the long-awaited summer break. A day to celebrate, to party. But to be honest, I will miss school, at least a bit. Yeah, I admit it, I like going to school. I like it because I like learning new things. There is so much I still don’t know, so much to discover. So many books to read, so many plays to play. At this point, I remember a phrase from a book I recently read at Trish’s place. It is a quote from a Swedish man by the name of Ingvar Kamprad:\n“Most things aren’t done yet. Wonderful future.”\nBut back to the topic. Where were we? Oh yes, Friday, and our plans for the summer.\n\nMy mother and I never had the money to make long journeys or to visit other countries. Every year, after the summer break, my classmates talk about their big vacations.\nI never had something to tell there, and sometimes that really hurt. Nikki’s parents offered mom more than once to join them on longer trips, but she always denied that. Maybe because she felt bad, that she couldn’t pay for such trips herself. Don’t get me wrong. I am thankful for having such a carrying mother. More thankful than I have ever told her. She did everything in her powers to take care of me. I know that I am repeating myself here, but she is the best mom ever. \n\nOur longest trips so far have been to Niagara Falls, Cleveland, and of course, New York City. And I loved each one of them, as long as mom was there. Our school also made trips from time to time, mostly to camps in National Parks and such stuff. It never took more than a day for me to get homesick on these trips. That is why mom wasn’t so sure about letting me go on vacation with Nikki. But this time, I will have my girlfriend with me, and I won't be in an area where you don't have a single bar. That means that I can call mom every day, and not only if the camp allows it. Ok, now we move on to Friday.\n\nThe graduation ceremony was supposed to start at noon in our sports hall. That is why I could sleep until 8 o’clock. The tasteful smell of fresh waffles with maple syrup woke me up and led me into our kitchen, where mom had prepared breakfast for me. Besides the waffles, she made fresh orange juice. I say it again, I have the best mommy.\n\nThe graduation ceremony is a tradition at Seppala High and Middle School. There will be music, dancing, a buffet, they will say a few words about every student. But this whole show is more for the parents than it is for the students. At least that is what Mr. Wertenson has told us about it. For those who don’t remember, he is my biology teacher. And he is also a guidance counselor at our school. I really hope we will still have him next year.\nMom took the day off, so she could go there with me. \nWe sat next to each other at our dining table and enjoyed this tasty breakfast together. We talked about plans for the summer, a bit about Nikki and me, and about the happenings during the last few weeks.\n\n\nAs we came to talk about the last weekend, I couldn’t hide my curiosity anymore and asked my surprised mother:\n“Mom, how was the sex with Mr. and Mrs. Kofi last weekend? I saw that you had cuffs on your arms. You made bondage, right?”\nMum looked at me with a serious expression in her face.\n“Balto, I am glad you accept me having a sex life again, but that really is something I will not talk about with you. Understood?”\nI lowered my eyes and folded back my ears in shame.\n“I understood, mom. I am sorry.”\nMy mother placed her hand on my shoulder.\n“It is ok. Now, let us talk about school, before we leave.”\nShe gently caressed my head.\n“My big boy. In September, you will be a High School student. Time is running so fast.”\n\nShe scratched me behind the ears, which made me smile while I said:\n“Thanks, mom. But I don’t think that much will change. It even is the same school. I wish I could attend to Nikki’s college.”\nMom shook her head.\n“Balto, you will be there soon enough. But for now, concentrate on your time in High School.”\nMom was right. As always.\n“Yes, mom. I promise I won’t disappoint you.”\nMy mother took me into her arms.\n“Balto, you could never disappoint me. You reached so much within the last two years. Don’t be mad, but I remember times you were one of the worst students in your class. And now you are one of the best. Since you are with Nicole, you have a better condition, better grades, you are more open to other people. You are in a theater group, something I would have never dreamed of. You even had a play in New York, and you did a wonderful job there. I am so proud of you. I always tell my colleagues at work about you, and they love the videos of your performances.”\nShe sighed.\n“If only your father could see you today.” \nMom stood up from the table.\n“Now come, it is time we get ready. I prepared your good jeans and ironed your bandana. And please brush your teeth and wash your face. You have waffles and syrup everywhere.”\n\nI saw how mom took her phone and wrote a message, as I left the kitchen to get ready. It took me 20 minutes to clean myself and get dressed. Mom had done the same in the meantime. \nShe was wearing her best dress, a midnight-blue evening gown, which shows her well-formed legs. She looked beautiful. But her outfit wasn’t the only surprise. As I opened the front door, my jaw dropped. Nikki was waiting for us outside. She was wearing a tight black summer dress, shoulder free and a high leg cutout. A real femme fatale. I couldn’t say anything, this look of hers made me speechless. \n\nNikki and my mom both began to laugh after a brief moment.\n“Oh doggy, you should really see your face. Hi Christa. How do I look? I hope it isn’t too much,” Nikki said. Mom touched my chin to close my mouth. While looking at my girl, she complimented her: \n“You look amazing, Nicole. This dress really suits you. Well, if Balto is done with drooling, we are good to go.”\n\nNikki took me into her arms, I could smell her strawberry-coconut shampoo. I must admit that this smell is still turning me on.\nWe took our car this time and arrived at the school about twenty minutes later. \nTogether, we passed the big fountain at the main entrance, with the statue of Athene on top of it. The goddess of wisdom is still watching over our school.\nNikki looked at it and smiled.\n“Ah, the sweet goddess Athene. I always loved this statue. I still remember how we used this fountain to cool down on hot summer days. The janitor always shouted around, if he caught us taking a bath in it.”\n\nWe all laughed, as we entered the auditorium. There we met with the rest of the Howling Musketeers. We talked a bit on our way to the sport hall. Mr. Wertenson welcomed us at its entrance. \n\nFirst, he shook my mother’s hand.\n“Mrs. Star, it is a pleasure to see you again.”\nHe turned his head to me.\n“Hello Balto.”\nThen he looked at Nikki, who was holding my hand.\n“Ah. And you must be Balto’s famous girlfriend. Now that I finally see you in person, you seem familiar.”\nNikki looked at my teacher, while she played with her hair.\n“Hello, Mr. Wertenson. My name is Nicole Kofi, you were my biology teacher, as I attended this school. I am now at Stark College.”\n\nMr. Wertenson touched his forehead.\n“Ms. Kofi. Yes, now I remember. I didn’t recognize you without Ms. Jones by your side.”\nI can imagine how you look right now, my dear reader. Like you, I was confused. The same went for Nikki, at least for a second.\n“Ms. Jones? Oh, you mean Trish. No, she sadly isn’t here today.”\nMr. Wertenson turned his head back to me.\n“You know Balto, your girlfriend and Ms. Jones were known troublemakers here. Good students, but wild. Ms. Kofi once played baseball with the nest of some angry hornets. The thing landed right in front of the former director. He needed three weeks to recover. Not to mention the Mensa massacre.” \nNikki tried to cover my ears, but it was too late. I looked at her with a grin on my face:\n“Mensa massacre? Nikki, you never told me about all this.”\nMy girl placed her hand on my muzzle.\n“Wipe that grin off your face, Balto. There is nothing to tell here. Trish and I just had a bad day, nothing else.”\nMr. Wertenson had to laugh.\n“Bad day? I still remember that we had to renovate the whole Mensa, after Ms. Jones and Ms. Kofi started a food fight on Spaghetti Day.”\nOur whole theater group began to laugh, even mom couldn’t hold it in. Nikki seemed to be a bit annoyed.\n“That was during my first year in High School. As far as I remember it, we were provoked by some boys who threw their food at us first.”\n\nMr. Wertenson calmed down and gave Nikki a smile, but somehow, I felt that he was hiding something.\n“It doesn’t matter anymore. Ms. Kofi later proved to be one of our best students. I am delighted to hear that you have made it to Stark College.”\nThe teacher looked at Raphael and the rest of the group.\n “Oh, I am so sorry. Are you the other singers from Stark? The Howling Musketeers?”\nRaphael introduced the Howling Musketeers, then we entered the hall. The decoration wasn’t anything special, but it was ok. The food smelled like the typical stuff from our cantina. That means you better stay away from the meat, since it might bite back. Ok, bad joke about food at school – check.\n\nRaphael took the Howling Musketeers next door to prepare for the show, while mom, Nikki and I took our seats at a big round table. There we also met with Antu, Mikey and their fathers. \nWe had a good conversation, and a lot of fun. Antu and Mikey held hands for most of the time, but I was too shy to ask if they were really a couple now.\n\nAfter about half-an-hour, we heard Mr. Wertenson’s voice through the speaker.\n“Dear parents, beloved students, my name is Christian Wertenson. I am the guidance counselor of the Leonard Seppala High and Middle School. Today, we want to celebrate, since our students here have reached the end of their time in Middle School. In September, they will return here as High School students. It became a tradition at this school to hand out each student their final report card and their Middle School Diploma in person when they reach this milestone in their school career.\nBefore we begin, I am pleased to announce that all students successfully completed this year. \nThe first student I want to introduce you today is a boy who came to us from far away. He always showed great enthusiasm in the classroom, and his success is nothing less than inspiring for many at this school. Please give applause to Antu Strife. Come to me, Antu.”\n\nThe tiger walked timidly towards Mr. Wertenson. A blind man would have noticed that this situation wasn’t comfortable for him. The clapping and the knocking on the tables must have been somehow traumatic for Antu. So traumatic that his father stood up to go with him on the way, so he could get his report. Maybe I should have mentioned that Antu originally comes from Afghanistan and has seen some pretty bad things there.\n\nAfter Antu and his father came back to the table, he looked proud at his report card, and his father gave him a hug. Tears formed in my eyes, as I watched this scene. My mother noticed that and gently touched my back. Then she whispered into my ear:\n“Balto, is everything ok? Why the tears?”\nI lowered my head and looked at the ground. Luckily, the others were busy with their stuff, which is why they didn’t pay attention to me. I mumbled in response to my mother’s question:\n“I was just thinking about dad. I wish he would be here, mom. I want my dad, like all the other kids have theirs.”\nMom pressed me against her, while she caressed my head. She spoke silently:\n“Balto, believe me when I say that I want nothing more than for your father to walk through that door right now. But that's impossible. I know that I can't replace your father. But believe me, Sebastian would be more than proud to see you today.” \nNext was Mikey, followed by the rest of the students. A little detail here, the ceremony wasn’t only for my class, it was also for the parallel class. As a result, the ceremony took forever. Hopefully, Raphael and the others had something to do, while they waited next door.\n\nIt took me a while to order my thoughts. Mom held me tight the whole time. After a while, I could hear Nikki whispering:\n“When does Balto get his report? We need to get ready for the show.” \nMom answered her:\n“I don’t know, but we must be close to the end of the list now. As far as I see it, everyone else got their report now. I don’t know why Balto is the last one who gets his.”\n\nMr. Wertenson’s voice silenced this conversation.\n“I thank you all very much for your patience. Before we come to the entertainment part, I have one more student on my list. I have known this young man since he first set his paws into this school. He was always a silent wolf, barely interacted with others. Unfortunately, his grades suffered from his introverted nature, although he already showed his great talents back then. I hope he doesn’t hate me now for sharing this with you. Well, about two years ago, there was a change. It was a positive surprise for my colleagues and me, I can tell you that much. His grades improved drastically, and he began to open, or, as you kids might say it, to lower his shields. He began to talk, to be more active during the lessons.\nAs I have heard, he recently joined a theater group at Stark College, even played on Broadway in a little competition. Well, without any more words, Balto, would you please come up here?”\n\nMom had to give me a little push, since I somehow didn’t want to go on stage after this speech. I stood up and walked up to Mr. Wertenson. He gave me my report card and my certificate. A few more bloomy words followed, which gave me an even more uncomfortable feeling. I felt how everyone in the room was looking at me, especially my classmates. On my way back to the table, I took a brief look at the piece of paper in my hands. \n\n“The student still has problems with social participation.”\nThat was one of the first sentences written on it. The same sentence as every year. But well, I think I made some progress in that matter. \nAfter I rejoined the others on the table, Nikki and mom looked at my report card.\nMy mother took me into her arms.\n“This is fantastic, Balto. All the learning really worked out. I am proud of you, my son.”\nNikki began to giggle.\n“We only have to work on your sports grade, I am sure you can do better than a B-, doggy.”\nSport is really my least favorite subject at school. A bit annoyed, I answered to Nikki:\n“That is just because of these stupid games they force us to play all the time.”\n\nThe whole table laughed.\nSentences like: “Your son has problems with social interactions? That happens, if a boy’s father isn’t around” nearly let my mom explode, but she controlled herself. She just swallowed her anger. Nikki then tried to calm the situation down. \n“Balto, we should go and see the others now. I am sure they are eager to start with the show.”\nMom briefly looked at the lady, who has said this nonsense moments before.\n“Yes, Balto. I can’t wait to see what your friends have planned for today. Maybe you and Nicole can sing a little duet again? Like you did it in New York?”\nI nodded.\n“Sure, mom.”\nNikki took my hand, and together we walked to one of the locker rooms, where Raphael and the others waited for us.\nThe Border Collie looked at us, as we entered.\n“There you are. I thought they might have forgotten us back here. Can we start now?”\nNikki smiled at him.\n“Yes, Mr. Wertenson will announce us any minute. How shall we begin?”\nRaphael pulled out a list of songs.\n“This guy gave me a list of songs he wants us to sing.”\nNikki looked at the list.\n“Those songs are boring as hell. We are here to bring some joy to the audience, and not to depress them. I think we should begin with something different. Svetlana, Angelike, how about 'You’ll be in my heart', 'You Raise me up' and 'You’ll never walk alone'?”\nEveryone agreed with these songs, and they seemed to be a good start. You might wonder where the music came from, since we didn’t have any instruments with us. Besides that, not every one of us could play an instrument. Our group owns a karaoke machine for performances like this one. We also use it for our karaoke nights.\nRaphael added a few more songs, some of them were even on the Mr. Wertenson’s list:\n\n'We are young', 'Reach for the Light', 'Something just like this', and 'You got it.'\n\nBesides those, Raphael performed a song from ‘Dance of the Vampires’ named ‘The Insatiable Appetite’, Svetlana joined him later for ‘Total Eclipse of the Hearth’.\nThen we all sang ‘All for Love’ together, which is basically the hymn of our group.\nWe were nearly at the end, as Nikki and I sang ‘If you believe’. The first time I have heard it was in the movie ‘Prince of Egypt’. I am not much into religion, but I like this song’s message.\n\nThe people applauded, after we were done. Or better, knocked on the table. Since our hands are a bit different from human hands, with pads and fur, applauding is not so effective. We prefer to knock on something, if possible, what can be heard better. Especially we wolves sometimes howl, but that is rare. It also often isn’t so gladly seen, or better, heard.\nWe were about to finish our gig, as Nikki pulled me closer. She whispered into my ear:\n“Balto, maybe you should end this with Puck’s words. You know what I mean. Give this lady from before a taste of your talent.”\nI couldn’t hide a smile, while I grabbed one of the microphones from its stand. Miguel switched the speakers back on, and after he gave me a sign, I spoke Puck’s little poem:\n\n“If we shadows have offended,\nThink but this, and all is mended—\nThat you have but slumbered here\nWhile these visions did appear.\nAnd this weak and idle theme,\nNo more yielding but a dream,\nGentles, do not reprehend.\nIf you pardon, we will mend.\nAnd, as I am an honest Puck,\nIf we have unearned luck\nNow to ’scape the serpent’s tongue,\nWe will make amends ere long.\nElse the Puck a liar call.\nSo good night unto you all.\nGive me your hands if we be friends,\nAnd Robin shall restore amends.”\n\nWe bowed to the audience and then walked off the stage. It wasn't our best performance, but in our defense, we didn't have much time to prepare. At least this lady from before seemed to be impressed. After we came back home later, mom searched a frame for my certificate, we watched TV, and my mother showed us a video she recorded from our performance. Later, Nikki and I went online to watch a few music videos from Holly Rhoads-Hunter and her Band “Silver Fang”. I still have to say that this isn’t my favorite kind of music. We are now at the end of June. I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. The next entry in our calendar was a little party at the lake Nikki had planned for our group.\nWe drove to the cabin the next day, early in the morning. On our way, we stopped at a nearby supermarket. Nikki wanted to buy some food and snacks for the party. \nShe bought meat, vegetables, some milk for breakfast. Unusual for her were the chips and the dips, since Nikki usually doesn’t eat such stuff. She also bought ready mixture for a marble cake, as she wanted me to make some for the party.\nWe just were out of the market and moved with our shopping cart to Nikki’s car, as I saw a boy and his parents.\n\nI couldn’t look away from them, what Nikki noticed a few moments later.\n“Balto, is everything ok? You look as if you are very far away with your thoughts.”\nI nodded, and replied:\n“Yeah, all fine. I was just thinking about my dad. Mom always tells me how proud he would be of me. But I don’t know why he should be proud. I am not special.”\nNikki attempted to think of reasons why my father should be proud of me. \n“You are kind, sensitive, you support your mother, you are a little star at your school, you even performed on Broadway. There are several things he could be, no, would be proud of. Balto, I don’t remember your father, I was only 5 years old, as he died. But if only half of the stuff my father told me about him is true, your dad would be bursting with pride.”\nNikki’s words made me smile.\n“You forgot that I have a cool girlfriend.”\nNikki giggled.\n“Yeah, but that is more a compliment for me.”\nI sighed. \n“Yeah. Let us drive to the cabin now, before the milk gets warm.”\n\nWe drove to Spaulding Lake without saying any more words. After we had stowed the things in the kitchen, I sat down on the veranda, from where you have a clear view over the lake.\nNikki joined me there.\n“Balto, are you still thinking about your dad? When was the last time you visited him?”\nI drew my legs and rested my head on my knees.\n“You mean his grave? That was on Christmas, with mom.”\nMy girl sat down next to me.\n“Maybe you should visit him more often. You know, the others won’t come here until 7 or 8 in the evening. We have plenty of time, let us go visit your father.”\n\nWhy she wanted to do that wasn’t clear to me. But saying something against it wouldn’t make much sense. I know Nikki by now.\nThe drive to the cemetery took us about half an hour. At the impressive entrance, you can see the statues of three angels. On top of the gate is Azrael, the angel of death. Raphael, the angel of healing, stands on the left, and Gabriel, the angel of change and a new beginning, stands on the right side. \nDeath, healing, and a new beginning. Together, they guard the gates to this place. Mom always told me that they watch over the souls, and make sure that they get safely into the afterlife. I guess that sometimes faith can help to ease the pain, even if you know that it isn’t real. \n\nNikki looked at me, after she parked the car.\n“Ready?” She asked.\nSlowly, I turned my head toward her.\n“Nikki, would you mind if I go alone?”\nNikki shook her head. She told me that in the meantime she would go for a little walk.\nI nearly got lost as I wandered through the aisles of this place. But in the end, I found my father’s grave. A cold, black stone with golden letters on it.\n\n\nSebastian Star\nBorn 05.16.1979   Died 09.20.2007\n\n“He who lives in the memory of his loved ones is not dead, he is only distant. Dead is only who is forgotten.”\n\n\nI kneeled in front of my father’s grave, unknowing what to do next. I remembered what mom sometimes did here and began to talk.\n“Dad, it’s me. Balto. I don’t know if you can hear me, since, well, I am sitting here talking to a piece of stone. Sorry that I haven’t visited you more often. Nikki brought me here. Mom is at home. But don’t worry, she is fine. Do you remember Nikki? She has been my girlfriend for about two years now. Mom once showed me a video, where you joked with Mr. Kofi about me and Nikki becoming a couple. You would love her now, she is awesome. She helps me with school, and with her help, I became one of the best in my class. Oh, yesterday was my last day in Middle School. In September, I will be a High School student. I am also in a theater group now. We even performed on Broadway and won a competition there. I wish you would be here, Dad. I know that we never actually met each other, but I miss you.”\n\nTears ran down my checks. After I said these words, I was startled by a voice from behind.\n“I bet he misses you too.”\n\nI turned around and spotted a familiar face. A human face. It was this man named Peter. The last time I have seen him was in Central Park, New York, during our first stay there. I growled at him, then closed my eyes, and shook my head.\n“You are not here. No one else has seen you in New York. Everyone said that I was talking to myself.”\nThe strange man laughed, before he continued:\n“Your father loves you, Balto. You can be sure of that.”\n\nAnd then, he was gone. Only the wind could be heard rustling through the leaves of the trees. Nikki’s voice broke the silence a few moments later.\n“Balto? Balto? Where are you?”\nI shouted: \n“I am here, Nikki!”\n\nMy girl came closer, rubbing her arms. The wind became stronger, and a roll of thunder could be heard in the distance. \n“Balto, there you are. Have you silenced your phone? There is a storm coming, we should leave.”\n\nWe ran to the car and drove back to the cabin. We arrived there, and just as we entered the house, it started to rain. Nikki chuckled.\n“That was close. Well, Balto, we should start to prepare everything for the party. I will take care of the snacks, and you can start to bake the cake. Today, we will watch TV and talk, nothing special. Tomorrow, if it doesn’t rain, we will have a BBQ. Gabriel brings his grill for it.”\n\nWhile I was baking the cake, I could watch Nikki preparing the rest of the house for our guest. She also took out the air mattresses for later. They are ideal for guests, but I prefer to sleep on a real bed.\nIt became late, and at about 6 o’clock, we heard a knocking at the door. It was still raining heavily. As Nikki opened the front door, we saw a feline, soaked to the bones. It was or dear Bengal Angelike.\nShe looked so cute, but by the expression on her face, she wasn't too happy about being all wet. I mean, wet from the rain, not the good kind of wet. You know what I mean. Nikki showed her the bathroom and gave her some dry clothes.\nThe next arriving guests were Raphael, Svetlana, and Miguel. Then came Gabriel together with Thomas and Jonathan. They all arrived in Gabriel's big, black Pick Up. \nJoseph sadly couldn’t make it because of family matters.\nThe wind became stronger, but besides that, it wasn’t as bad as the storm back in May. You might remember, the one which claimed several lives in our town.\n\nWe watched TV, afterward we played a card game named “Cards against Humanity” together. Miguel had his guitar with him and played a few songs for us.\nIt was a cozy evening with good friends, but the most interesting thing happened during the night and the next morning. \nWhile the others slept in the living room, Nikki, Raphael, Svetlana, and I shared the bedroom. No, not all together in the bed. Svetlana and Raphael had an air mattress on the floor, Nikki and I took the bed.\nA rustling woke me up in the middle of the night. First, I thought it came from outside. That maybe someone was sneaking around the house. But this noise came from inside the bedroom. I listened closer and noticed that it came from Svetlana’s and Raphael’s direction. They tried to be quiet, but here and there a soft moan escaped them both. The room was dark, so I could only imagine what they were doing. In my head, I had pictures of Raphael playing with Svetlana’s pussy, rubbing her little pearl. The imagination of them having sex made me a bit horny, but Nikki was asleep, and I wanted to avoid waking her up. The noises intensified, I heard claws scratching over the mattress, and then a load moan, as Svetlana probably reached her climax.\nI couldn’t hold myself and giggled a bit. They must have heard me, since they both didn’t move anymore for at least a minute. I fell asleep shortly after.\n\nThe rising sun woke me up early in the morning. Nikki was still sleeping, same went for Raphael and Svetlana. After I stood up, I could see them laying there, arm in arm. Since I always sleep naked, I grabbed a bathrobe to cover myself, before I tried to leave the room as silent as possible. The bedroom door creaked a bit, as I closed it behind me. On my way to the bathroom, I noticed that I was the only one awake. Gabriel and Thomas shared a mattress, Angelike strangely slept alone on the couch, and the remaining mattress was empty. There was no trace of Jonathan and Miguel. I thought that they maybe went outside for a walk. Without any more thoughts, I continued my way to the bathroom.\nAs I was about to open the door, I heard that someone was taking a shower. But there also was another noise, which made me curious. Slowly I opened the unlocked door, to risk a look inside. There, inside the shower cabin, I saw them. Jonathan, the Red Fox, was humping Miguel. I thought the Mexican Wolf would be in love with Angelike, which is why I was very surprised about what was happening here. The fox had his hands on Miguel’s hip, while the canine had his hands on the white wall of the cabin, pressing himself against his lover. I could clearly see the wolf’s cock bobbing up and down with every thrust. Jonathan didn’t hold back, and after a few minutes, he forced his knot inside the butt of his play partner. That pushed Miguel over the edge, and he came hands free. Jonathan himself came only seconds later, deep inside the butt of his lover. I simply couldn’t look away from this scene. \n\nTo be honest, it even aroused me a bit and reminded me of the sex I had with Mikey in the tent during our camping trip last year. Jonathan seemed to be exhausted as he cuddled up close to Miguel’s back. \nI tried to sneak out of the room backwards, but almost tripped over the laundry basket. The sound let the two lovebirds turn their heads to me. They seemed to be shocked, as they simultaneously yelled: “Balto!”\n\nMiguel turned off the water and Jonathan opened the shower cubicle a little. The wolf banged his head against the wall. He was angry with himself for not locking the door. Jonathan seemed to be calmer than Miguel. He spoke in a silent voice:\n“Miguel, stop that, before you make a dent in the tiles.”\nThen he looked at me.\n“Balto, can you please keep this to yourself? We will explain everything later, I promise.”\n\nI nodded wordlessly, turned around and grabbed my toothbrush. There was no need to leave anymore, so brushed my teeth in peace and emptied my bladder first. I could watch in the mirror how Jonathan pulled his member out of Miguel’s butt. That fox is, let me say, gifted. \nI wonder if all foxes have such large cocks. Mikey is, if you remember the entry about the camping trip, pretty big down there too. That this thing fit in Miguel’s butt impressed me. See, I needed a long time until Nikki could shove the strap-on inside my hole. And the dildo she used wasn’t that big. All this let me think about how long they have practiced until the fox was able to penetrate Miguel. \n\nI mean, Jonathan’s thing would make Vlad the Impaler smile. That was the guy who inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula, for those who don’t know. Damn, Nikki is right. Sometimes I really annoy people with useless facts.\n\nAfter I finished my business in the bathroom, I left the two lovers alone and prepared some coffee and tea in the kitchen. As this was done, I slowly walked back in the bedroom, where Nikki was about to wake up. My girl looked at me with a warm smile on her beautiful face, after she noticed me.\n“Morning doggy. You are up early.” \nA loud yawn followed.\n“Have you slept well?”\nI still had the pictures from before in my head, which caused me to giggle.\n“Yes, Nikki. I have prepared some coffee and tea. The others are still sleeping.”\nNikki tilted her head a little.\n“What is so funny about that?”\nGood for me, that she didn’t wait for an answer. Her gaze wandered down to the floor, where Svetlana and Raphael were just about to wake up.\n“Morning you two,” she addressed them.\nThen Nikki turned her head back to me.\n“Balto, please open the windows and the doors, we need to air out the house. And try to wake up the others.”\n\nI did what my girl told me to do. Gabriel and Thomas were up already, as I came back into the living room. Miguel and Jonathan were out of the bathroom by now and prepared breakfast for everyone, including some ham and eggs. Only Angelike was still sleeping on the couch. The feline looked so cute that I simply couldn’t wake her up. Nikki, Raphael, and Svetlana joined us, dressed only in their underwear. That isn’t a big thing, we all know how the others look without clothes. The reason is simple, we often share a changing room, and we have showered together after a few plays.\nWe had breakfast, listened a bit to the radio and the weather forecast.\nAngelike woke up at around 9 o'clock. \nAfter the Bengal stood up, she turned her back to us and stretched her slender body. That way, we had a good view of the awesome marking in the shape of a dragon on her back. \nAngelike then joined us for breakfast. It was a relaxed morning. Gabriel later prepared the meat for our BBQ, we helped to build up his grill, then our group sat down in a circle around the fireplace.\n\nRaphael then stepped forward and told us about an upcoming project for the Howling Musketeers:\n“Everyone, please listen. I know it has been some time, since we talked about a new project. First, I want to thank Nikki, that we can use this place for our meeting. The silence here, the fresh air, it is great. Last week, I talked to the principal Schaeffer. He told me about a festival in December, for which he intends to invite a few other theater groups. He said we should pick a new play, and I think we found a good one for us. It is a funny little musical called “Mamma Mia!”, which is based on the songs of the Swedish pop group ABBA. If everyone is ok with it, we will start the training as soon as possible. There is a movie by the same name, maybe we can watch that later today. I think it can help us to choose the most fitting role for everyone.”\n\nAll of us agreed to Raphael's plan. We then wanted to begin with the BBQ, but Jonathan asked us to stay for another moment. You can imagine why, but I want to write it down anyway:\n“Everyone, I wanted to use the opportunity to tell you something. As you all know, I am gay. And I finally found a partner, with which I have a relationship for a couple of weeks.”\nThe other knocked on the wooden logs they were sitting on, only I didn’t do so.\n“We kept this a secret, since my partner needed time to find himself. Today, something happened, and there is no need to hide it from you any longer.”\n\nMiguel stood up slowly and took Jonathan’s hand, while everyone looked at them. The fox continued:\n“Miguel and I are in love. This might surprise one or another, but I hope you can support us.”\n\nRaphael stepped forward. \n“Johnathan, Miguel, I am certain that I speak for everyone here, if I say that we will always stand behind you two.”\n\nWhile everyone stood up to congratulate the two, Angelike was still sitting on the log. She seemed to be sad.\nNikki, who saw how the Bengal was drawing lines in the sand with her paw, asked Miguel:\n“Miguel, I hope you don’t mind me asking. But back in New York, after the competition, you couldn’t take your eyes off Angelike. Since when you know that you are more into guys?”\nMiguel gulped, but tried to explain:\n“Well, Angelike and I were indeed together for two weeks or so. But it simply didn’t feel right for me. I have never told anyone that I am more into boys. A part of me even denied it. Jonathan caught me one day, as I watched him taking a shower. We talked long after that and spent a lot of time together. And well, we fell in love.”\n\nNikki looked at the now crying Angelike. Seeing her fellow feline like that must have angered Nikki a bit.\n“And what about her? It appears that she really had feelings for you, why did you play with her like that?”\nAll eyes rested on Miguel now, who tried to explain why he did what he did:\n“Please believe me if I say that I never wanted to play with Angelike’ feelings. I really thought that I would love her, but that wasn’t true. Angelike, Jonathan, and I talked a long time about this. I am sorry, I never wanted to hurt anyone.”\n\n\nThey talked for quite a while, and Angelike assured us that she was fine. It was just a bit painful for her to go through it again. \nShe really liked Miguel. But just like him, she felt soon after New York that something wasn’t right between them. Angelike further explained to us that she never had a relationship so far, what made it even more painful for her that Miguel couldn’t give her the love she was hoping for. She also told us how happy she is for Miguel and Jonathan, and that she will continue to focus on her education and not actively seek for a partner any time soon. \nNikki then invited her over to her place for a girl's night, what Angelike gladly accepted. And I know what some might think now. I doubt that Nikki had sexual intentions at this point.\n\nAfter Angelike stopped crying, Nikki had something else to tell the group. She stood up and spoke:\n“Please, I also have some news, which might be of interest to the group. Back in 2020, Balto and I visited a rock concert, after which we met Hazel and Johana, who are the kids of Holly Rhoads-Hunter. Some might know her and her music. Balto kept contact with them, and now they invited us over to their place. Therefore, Balto and I will fly to Detroit on Monday. Hazel told us that her mother maybe can give us some tips for a better performance.”\n\nSome of our group seemed to have heard the name Holly Rhoads-Hunter for the first time. Gabriel, our big bear, walked over to Nikki. He acted like a school kid, like I had never seen him before. He grabbed Nikki with both hands, looked her deep in the eyes with a big smile on his face and spoke like a fangirl:\n“Holly Rhoads-Hunter? Holy crap, I am a big fan of her! You know, I was at that concert myself. It was so awesome. I tried to get an autograph, but I didn’t have a backstage pass that day. Do you think you can ask her to sign a photo for me? Oh, and please ask her about her new movie, and if she plans any new songs or concerts. Please, you have to promise me that.”\n\nNikki and I had to laugh, what was a little irritating for Gabriel. Nikki then touched the cheek of the big bear while she answered him:\n“I promise, Gabriel.”\nNikki giggled.\n“I have never seen you like that. I like that side of you. You are often far too serious, big guy.”\nRaphael joined the conversation.\n“Nikki, even if this isn’t the intention of this trip. It would be great if you can get some tips or tricks from her. Especially after that fail with Ms. Abbas.”\nNikki agreed with him.\n“I will see what we can do, Raphael. It would help us for sure.”\nHer look went over to me.\n“Especially for Balto here. This is a big chance to learn from a star. Maybe she can also convince him to eat more vegetables.”\n\nEveryone laughed, while I growled a bit. Stupid vegetables. We wolves need our meat.\nThe rest of the day wasn’t really worth it to talk about. We had a great BBQ, during which I had to fight with Miguel for the beef ribs. They were so tasty and tender. In the evening, we moved back inside the house, where we built up the karaoke machine to sing a few songs. Based on our next big project, we mostly chose ABBA songs like ‘Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!’ (A Man After Midnight), ‘Lay Your Love on Me’, and ‘Waterloo’. Our singing session took until midnight. We were all so exhausted afterward.\nBut before we went to bed, we watched a few videos about the ABBA Musical. Well, at least I started to watch. I fell asleep after about twenty minutes during the first video.\nWhen I woke up the next morning, I was lying in bed, naked, with my claws colored like a rainbow. There was no one in the room besides me. \nI took my bathrobe from the hook by the door, then I slowly walked out of the bedroom. It was a rather cold morning for the end of June. The singing of the birds could be heard through the open door. I looked outside, where I spotted the others. \nThey were packing their stuff in their cars. As soon as they saw me, they began to laugh. Especially the girls. First, I didn’t know why, but then Nikki told me to take a look into the rearview mirror of Gabriel’s car. \nNow I could see this big, pink bow in my hair. As the colored claws wouldn’t have been enough. Angelike then explained to me that it is unwise to fall asleep during a sleepover. She gave me a hug, while she told me how cute I looked. I didn’t respond to her, just removed the bow from my hair and walked back inside to get some breakfast. To be honest, I was in a bad mood. \n\n15 minutes later, I was just eating some cereals, Nikki and Angelike walked into the kitchen and sat down next to me at the table. My girlfriend placed her hand on my back. I felt her gently stroking me, but I didn’t react to it. She tried to explain why they did this to me, that it was just meant as a little joke. Nikki also said that no one made any photos of it, so I don’t have to worry that anyone would see me wearing a bow like a little girl. As my bowl was empty, I raised my head to look at the two girls and asked them:\n“So, no one will see that? No one will make fun of me because of it?”\nNikki shook her head.\n“No, don’t worry. Balto, we are all friends, do you really think that anyone of our group would want to hurt you?”\nAngelike touched my hand with hers.\n“Balto, you looked so cute while you were asleep. The nails were Johnathan’s idea. And the bow, well, that was me. I am sorry. We thought it would be funny.”\nMy eyes wandered from Angelike to Nikki, before I answered.\n“Ok. But can you please help me to get this off? I don’t want mom or Hazel to see it. Besides, are the others still outside?”\nNikki responded:\n“No, they are already gone. They all had plans for today, so they didn’t want to lose time. Angelike will ride home with us later, and we will drop her off at her place. But until then, we will have a nice day together.”\nI tilted my head and looked at them. My imagination was going wild, as I looked at the two girls. I must have had a stupid expression in my face, since the girls began to laugh. Nikki then said:\n“No Balto, not that kind of nice. You should take a cold shower for your thoughts.”\n\nAngelike laughed once more, while she tried to eat some bread. She choked and had to cough, while I giggled a bit. Nikki made herself some coffee, before we moved over to the couch, and Nikki switched on the TV. The cheetah searched through the channels for something worth watching. She stopped at the Science Channel, where they showed a documentary about Anthros. One of the scientists in it was Doctor Lucius Allister, the same man we met during our first stay in New York. He looked even older now than I remembered him. It was a surprise for me to see that he was still alive. The main themes of this interesting documentation were the past and current relations between Anthros and Humans. They improved during the last few years, but there is still much to do. They showed interviews with members of both sides, some of them were made in New York. There were people of every age, men, and women alike. Even some teenagers. They discussed their personal experiences, most of them positive, but there were also negatives ones. One old woman said that an Anthro once robbed her, and that she thinks we are all criminals. One interview showed a police officer, who said that the most common problem between Anthros and Humans is discrimination. But he made clear that this happens on both sides. I may have said it before, there are many stupid Anthros out there, who don’t do us a favor with their behavior.\nThe documentation ended with a peaceful scene, showing Anthro and Human kids playing together. The narrator’ closing words were:\n\n“There are still many issues and prejudices, if it comes to the relations between Humans and Anthros. We all need to work together, since we are all sharing this planet. We are not that different. All of us just want to live a life in peace and harmony. So, let us stop to look at the differences. Let us look at the similarities instead. Take a look at these kids. They don’t seem to see any differences in each other. They just want to have fun together. We think that we could all an important lesson from them. A lesson humans should have learned long ago. How we look outside doesn't matter. Deep down, we are all the same.”\n\nAngelike and Nikki both stood up and stretched, as the documentation was over. \nWe then decided to make a little walk through the woods, since the weather was just right for that. We grabbed our paw protectors and moved outside.\nThe wind blew gently through the trees. We heard the birds singing. Besides that, only the murmur of a small stream, which we passed after about half an hour, broke the silence. Angelike seemed to be amazed by the beauty of this place. But I didn’t dare to ask her why. I didn’t to disturb her thoughts. None of us said a word during this walk. We only listened to the surrounding nature.\nOur walk took us another hour, before we came back to the house. Sadly, it was now time to pack our stuff together and go home. Angelike helped to close and secure all doors and windows, and to bring our stuff to Nikki’s car. We then took our seats in the Nikkimobile, and my girl started the motor. Angelike was sitting in the passenger seat, and I was sitting in the back. First, we drove to the place of our teammate. She still lives with Raphael and Anna in this nice Apartment close to the College. \nAs the car stopped, Angelike looked at Nikki and said:\n“Thank you, Nikki. Thank you for letting me stay with you a little longer. The thing with Miguel was hard for me, I really had feelings for him. I'm afraid I still have them. Seeing Raphael with Svetlana all the time isn't helping either.”\nI could hear Nikki’s sigh. \n“I am so sorry that it didn’t work out with you and Miguel. I am sure you will find a fitting partner, too. I mean, look at you. You are hot. I wonder why not every straight guy at college is after you.”\nI couldn’t see the Bengal’s face, but her voice sounded sad.\n“Thanks for the compliment, Nikki. For now, I am done with looking for a relationship. I mean, I can have fun without it.”\nThat made me giggle, and I know that Nikki had her problems keeping a straight face at this point. She cleared her throat and answered:\n“Sure. Just be careful with that “having fun”-thing. A girl quickly gets a bad reputation. And believe me, that is something you wouldn’t want to have.”\nAngelike became curious.\n“Did you ever have a bad reputation, Nikki? I only know you as the poster girl of the college.”\nShe got Nikki now, and after she took a deep breath, my girl explained:\n“If you really want to know, yes. Back in High School, long before Balto and I became a couple, I was, how should I call it, easy to get. It wasn’t for long, but long enough that boys only called me the ‘Spotted Slut of Seppala High.’\nYou can imagine that it wasn’t a pleasure to hear that every day.”\n\nNikki never told me this detail of her time at High School. I wanted to say something, but I thought it might be better to remain silent in the back seat.\nAngelike then turned around to me and placed her hand on my knee.\n“You two are such a great couple.”\n\nI smiled at her, while she asked Nikki another rather personal question:\n“I hope you don’t mind me asking, Nikki, but how is the sex with him?”\nMy eyes became big in shock about this question, what made Nikki laughing.\n“Oh my, that is an unexpected question. Well, Balto is different from other the other boys I had. He is more into taking care of me, than in simply, you know, fucking me. He has a very talented tongue.”\nI just wanted to disappear. Since that wasn’t possible, I just pulled up my knees and hid my face. The girls saw that, and gladly Nikki stopped at this point. I heard her saying:\n“But maybe we should talk about that in a more comfortable place. Hm, how about you come and visit us, after we are back from Ann Arbor?”\nAngelike seemed to be in a happier mood by now.\n“Sure, that would be cool. We three could have a pajama party! I promise that we won’t color your claws again, Balto. Well, I better let you two go home now, you said that you still need to pack your stuff. See you two later.”\n\nShe stepped out, waved at us once more, then she disappeared inside the building. I changed to the passenger seat before Nikki re-started the car, and then we continued our way home.\nNikki parked the car in front of their house. We gave each other a hug and parted ways, as we both had to pack our stuff. Back home, my mother, helped me find a trolley for the upcoming journey. After we found it, mom helped me to pack everything I would need. Underwear, clothes, Little Balto, paw protectors, a set of covers for blanket and pillow. I don’t like buttons, so I prefer having my own bedsheets, which have a zipper, with me. Mom had already prepared a bag with my medics for me. She also gave me a detailed list of my allergies, next to a letter, in which she wrote that she allowed me to travel with Nikki. \nMy passport was the last item which wandered into my trolley. I was set for the journey. Mommy and I spent the next few hours talking, while we watched a few episodes of Lucifer. In one of those episodes we watched, God himself came to earth. Every time he appeared, all the people around him began to sing and dance. It is by far my favorite episode. \nThe actor of Lucifer has such a cool singing voice.\nIt was past midnight, as I went to bed. Mom made me some hot milk with honey, which she placed on my nightstand before sitting down next to me on my bed.\nAs long as I remember, mom made me this before bedtime. She seemed to be sad, as she gently patted my head. Concerned by this, I asked her:\n“Mom, is everything ok?”\nShe nodded and gave me a smile.\n“Don’t worry, Balto. It is just still hard for me to let you go for a longer time. I will miss you.”\nShe sighed.\n“It simply isn’t the same without you here.”\nI nearly jumped up and hugged my mother tight.\n“Don’t be sad, mom. Should I stay here? Nikki would understand it.”\nShe smiled at me once again while she caressed my cheek.\n“No, Balto. It is only one week, and then you will be back. I demand many photos. Understood? I love you, my son.”\n\nShe gave me a kiss on my cheek, we talked a bit further, while I drank my milk. Then it was time to sleep. She tucked me in, before she slowly walked outside and turned off the light. \nIt was dark in my room, not a sound was to be heard. I was alone with my thoughts.\nIn a few hours, I would sit on an airplane for the very first time. We will visit our friends in Ann Arbor, hopefully have a good time there. I shook my head to silence my brain, I wanted to sleep. The sandman finally came, and I felt into a deep slumber.\n\n\nPart 3: Ann Arbor\n\n\nSection 1: The Journey\n\nNikki’s voice woke me up early in the morning.\n“Balto, wake up! We need to drive to the airport in an hour. Your mother prepared breakfast for you, so get up, Fluffy!”\nI yawned loudly while Nikki almost pulled me out of my bed. I brushed my teeth and had breakfast with mom. At the table, we talked about the journey, and mom checked my luggage once more. It was about 8 o’clock when we had to leave. In front of Mr. Kofi’s car, Mom gave me a tight hug and a few more words on my way:\n“Be a good boy, Balto. Do what Nicole and your hosts tell you to do, behave, and don’t forget to call me as soon as you arrive there. And Balto, if you want to come home, don’t hesitate to tell it to Nicole, or me. Do you understand?”\nI hugged my mother again.\n“Sure, mom. I will miss you.”\nShe smiled, and gently touched my cheek.\n“I will miss you too, Balto. Now go. Have a nice time there. I love you.”\n\nShe stood behind me when I got into the car. The drive to the airport went by quickly, as the highway was not as crowded as Mr. Kofi might have expected. We arrived at Buffalo International Airport after about 45 minutes. Mr. Kofi walked with us to the check-in and helped us to get our boarding passes. Thanks to him, I didn’t need the letter gave me in case the staff at the airport had any questions. After saying goodbye to Mr. Kofi, my girl and I walked without much haste through the long corridors to our gate. For my taste, we arrived here far too early. Our flight was scheduled for 10:08, what meant that we had almost an hour to wait. Fortunately, we found a restaurant close to the gate, where Nikki bought us something to eat. \n\nWe spent the next 30 minutes with talking and eating. Nikki had at least three cups of coffee. \nAnd then, we heard a message through the speakers that our plane was ready for boarding. We walked over to the gate, under the watchful eyes of a few human passengers. I heard them whispering to each other, and then an excited-looking boy came up to us and pointed at Nikki and me. The language he spoke surprised me, as it wasn’t English. It sounded more like German.\n“Hundi! Katze!”\nNikki and I waved to the boy, who seemingly had never seen an Anthro before. Nikki’s tail twitched. This situation seemed to make her a little nervous. After a minute, the parents came and took their child by the hand. His mother excused her son, then they left.\nThe next thing I heard was the lady at the counter.\n“Ms. Nicole Kofi, Balto Star, please come forward to the counter.”\n\nNikki looked surprised, took my hand, and we went to the front. When we got to the counter, she spoke to this lady:\n“I am Nicole Kofi, this is Balto Star. Is there something wrong?”\nThe lady smiled and shook her head.\n“No, Ma’am. This is just for security reasons. We are ordered to double-check, whenever a minor travels without its parents. Young man, can I please see your parents' contact information?”\n\nI gave her my mother’s letter, and as everything seemed fine, we were allowed to take our seats in the airplane.\nWe had our seats in row 19. Nikki gave me the window seat, what was pretty cool. That way, I could look outside. Well, at least I could see one of the wings. While the minutes until take-off passed, I became more and more nervous.\nI tried to calm myself down by running the fingers of my right hand over the knuckles of my left. I sometimes do that when I'm nervous. Nikki saw this, leaned over, and whispered in my ear: \n“Balto, there's no need to be nervous. Everything will be fine.”\n\nShe hugged me and smiled while the pilot introduced himself. The safety instructions followed as the plane slowly taxied to the runway. I heard the turbines powering up, and only seconds later I was pressed back into the seat. My stomach rebelled, I felt that I was about to throw up. Maybe that second breakfast wasn’t such a bright idea. Nikki looked at me, and quickly gave me a barf bag. To make it short, I made good use of it. Our plane finally reached its flight altitude and became steadier, what calmed down my stomach. The barf bag was full by now anyway. Nikki patted my back, and a flight assistant came to me. He asked kindly while he reached for the barf bag to throw it away:\n“Is everything all right? Let me take care of this. You can go to the restroom now to freshen up and I will bring you some water. Please, should you need anything else, just press this button, ok?”\n\nNikki answered for me, as I was already on my way to the restroom. I had to get this awful taste out of my mouth. \nIt took me a few minutes, until I felt better and walked back to my seat. After I sat back down, Nikki helped me to fasten my seatbelt. The next moment, this flight attended reached me a cup with water. I turned my head and looked out of the window for the rest of the flight, watching the clouds drift by and immersing myself in my thoughts.\nThe look down to earth made me feel small. Unimportant. I thought about my mother, who must have been at work by now. What might she think about at the moment? I also thought about Nikki and me. Will our relationship last for our whole life? Will we manage to become actors in the future, or will we end up becoming something entirely different? Nikki could be a great race driver. Or a model. A teacher, maybe. And me? Hm, don’t know.\nThen there was another thought. If we are up here in the sky, where is heaven? Where is this place to which the good people go after they die? I looked out of window.\nAgain, a sudden voice dragged me out of my thoughts.\n“Be careful, my boy. Those who search for heaven, might never see it.”\n\nI looked around, but there was no one around who could have said that. Nikki had fallen asleep in her seat, and the flight attendees were too far away. The voice sounded familiar, like, no. That would be impossible. I shook my head. Was I losing my mind? Why did I hear that voice? Or why do I keep seeing this human Peter? Maybe I should speak with mom about this when we come back home. It frightens me, to be honest.\nAs we were about to land in Detroit, the pilot’s voice woke up Nikki from her nap. For me, this was the worst part of the whole flight. Even worse than the take-off. Especially the moment when the tires touched the ground was horrible for me.\nShortly after the plane came to a hold, we were allowed to leave it. Our trolleys were stored underneath our seats, so we didn’t have to wait until others had taken their stuff out. We left the plane to make our way to the arrival's hall. There we looked for Hazel or Johana, but none of them was to be seen. I almost wanted to call Hazel, but then Nikki saw a man holding up a sign with our names written on it. It was a canine with yellow fur, his hair was tied in a ponytail, and a beard. Well, it looked like one. So far, I had only seen humans with beards. My girl took my hand, and together we walked towards this somehow funny-looking man.\nAs we were close enough, Nikki raised her paw, waving at him. He made a few steps in our direction, until we were close enough to talk. As usually, Nikki spoke for us.\n“Hello, I am Nikki, this is Balto. Are you Hazel’s and Johana’s father?”\nThe man’s voice sounded warm, friendly.\n“I sure am. Name is Joe Hunter. But please call me Joe. Nice to meet you two. Hazel and Johana told me a few things about you. Now come, we will make a quick a stop at my pastry shop to pick up some sweets for later. We will have a BBQ today to celebrate the 4th of July, Johana is currently taking care of the meat. And Hazel is helping her mother in the kitchen.” \nHe turned his head to me, while we made our way to his car.\n“Hazel told me that you like Spareribs, Balto. I think you will love our special recipe. And Nikki, Johana has prepared several salads and fine steaks. Hazel and my wife both love a good steak, I hope that meets your taste too. By the way, is Nikki short for something?”\nNikki giggled and smiled at Joe.\n“Yeah. My name is Nicole, but only my parents and Balto’s mother call me that. All my friends call me Nikki. About the food, Balto loves Spareribs. I hope you can forgive him for not talking much, he is often a bit shy with people he doesn’t know.”\nThat made Hazel’s father laugh.\n“Don’t worry, champ. I was about the same, as I was in your age. Balto, you don’t have to fear anything, no one will bite you. Well, besides Hazel, maybe. She also loves ribs and will fight for them.”\n\nHis words made me smile. Nikki and Mr. Hunter saw that, and I felt Nikki’s hand on my back, as we finally reached the car. It was a big, black EUV.\nWe put our luggage in the trunk, then sat in the back seat. I was happy that Nikki was sitting next to me. I cuddled up to her, since I still felt a bit uncomfortable. Nikki put her arm around me, holding me close to her. Hazel’s father and Nikki continued their conversation on our way to his pastry shop, which we reached about 40 minutes later. The car was parked, and we went with Mr. Hunter inside his fancy looking shop. There were fine pastries, cakes, donuts, also candy in all imaginable colors. It looked like the wet dream of cubs and the nightmare of all dentists. Nikki was waiting with me at the counter, while Mr. Hunter put some of the sweet stuff into a transport box. I couldn’t take my eyes off one of the big donuts behind the glass counter. \nIt was with white chocolate on the outside and filled with vanilla cream. That was what was standing on the little sign in front of it. I had never seen a donut that big before. Its appearance alone watered my mouth. I must have looked like someone who hadn't eaten in weeks because Nikki gave me a gentle nudge with her elbow.\n“Balto, you are drooling,” she told me.\nSadly, she said that a bit too loud. Mr. Hunter turned his head towards us and began to laugh.\n“Balto, haven’t you eaten something in the morning?”\nNikki couldn’t hold herself back.\n“Oh, he did. He enjoyed it so much that he let it go through his head again during the flight.”\n\nNow everyone laughed. The costumers, co-workers, everyone was looking at me. \nIt was such a shameful situation, that I wanted to run out of the store. But Nikki held me by my arm.\n“Balto, don’t be like that. I was just joking. In fact, I did the same on my first flight. With the difference that I didn’t use the barf bag. The whole area around us was full of you know what. What I want to say is that you don’t have to be ashamed of that. Come, I will buy you that donut. But you must share it with me, it really looks delicious.”\nThat was a deal you could accept.\nNikki took out her purse, but Mr. Hunter denied taking any money from her.\n“You two are my guests.”\nHe looked at his employee.\n“Please wrap it up for them, and give the poor boy a napkin, ok? And don’t forget to close the shop in half an hour. I wish you a nice holiday. Tomorrow at 8 am, I will pick you up in front of the shop, so we can drive to the seminar together.”\nThe employee took the donut out and wrapped it up partly, before he gave it to Nikki. She first let me take a bite, before tasting it herself. It was like biting into a piece of heaven. \nWell, perhaps that was because I was starving at that moment. Nikki and I finished the donut on the way back to the car. It didn’t have a chance. Now it was time to drive to Rhoads-Hunter Manor. Well, they never called it that themselves, but I think it is a fitting name for this palace of a house.\n \nSection 2: The Home of a Rock Star\n\n\nMonday:\n\n\nThe ride to Hazel’s and Johana’s home went by smoothly. After a short drive, we reached a large gate that opened automatically when the car was close enough to it. Following the gate was a long road which led to the house. It is a modern looking, 2-storey palace with three garages. It looked fabulous. Mr. Hunter parked the car in front of one of the garages, we stepped out, took our trolleys off the trunk, and followed Mr. Hunter to the front door. I got quite nervous and tucked my tail between my legs. \nEven here, we could smell the delicious food that would be served later for dinner. Mr. Hunter opened the door for us, then he directed Nikki and me upstairs to the guestroom. So far, we didn’t see or heard anything from Hazel or Johana. Mr. Hunter told us to make ourselves comfortable and come downstairs when we were ready. As soon as he left us alone, Nikki began to look around in the room. It was decorated with pictures of concerts, there even was a guitar hanging on the wall. On the big bed we found towels, two bathrobes, and the WLAN password written on a little welcome note. We also had a PC with a webcam in our room, which was especially pleasing for me. This would certainly make it much easier for us to have video conversations with mom.\nAfter we had put our things away, I sat down on the bed, with my eyes on the floor. Nikki noticed this, sat down to my right, and then placed her left arm around my shoulders.\n“What is wrong, Balto? This place is great, we will have a great dinner later, and you look like someone died,” she said in calming voice.\nI mumbled:\n“I miss my mom.”\nNikki caressed my head and replied:\n“Balto, have you written her a message after we arrived? I bet she misses you too.”\n\nI really forgot to write mom a message, after we landed in Detroit. Since the start in Buffalo, I haven't even looked at my mobile anymore.\nWhen I took it out of my pocket, I saw five messages and two missed calls. The calls were from Hazel, but the messages all came from my mother. The first was about how the flight was, in the second she asked if everything was okay, and the other three sounded like she was getting more and more worried about my whereabouts.\nI quickly wrote a long message back, in which I tried to explain why I didn’t reply earlier. Besides that, I told her about the flight, this tasty donut we ate and how big the place here is. But most importantly, I said that I missed her. My mother replied that she misses me too, and that she would have to tell me something in the evening.\nShortly after I received this puzzling message, we heard a knocking at the door, followed by Hazel's voice asking: \n“Balto, Nikki? Can I come in? Or are you busy?”\nNikki was amused by this question.\n“You can come in, Hazel. We were just about to go downstairs.”\n\nThe door opened, and a second later Hazel entered the room, opened her arms, and came at us with such a speed that she pushed Nikki and me over. We were lucky to sit on the bed at that moment. The young canine gave us a tight hug while her tail went crazy. I swear, she was almost floating, while she yelled happily:\n“It is so cool to finally see you two again!” \nWe were both overwhelmed by this stormy welcome.\nAfter Hazel had loosened her embrace a little, I said quietly to her:\n“Hello, Hazel. We are also happy to see you again.”\nNikki added to this:\n“Indeed. Where is Johana? Is he still busy with the meat?”\nHazel had to laugh and then answered with a joke:\n“Maybe his own *meat*.”\nThe way she emphasized meat made me laugh. Hazel continued, after we both calmed down:\n“Food is almost ready, which is why mom said I should get you. Oh, Kirara and her dad are also here today.”\n\nThen we heard a female voice from downstairs:\n“Hazel, Balto, Nikki, are you coming? Food is ready.”\nNikki looked nervous because she knew that voice very well.\nHazel, while still sitting on my lap, answered the woman in a somehow disappointed tone:\n“Yes, mom. We are coming.”\n\nWhen she got off me, I was able to take a closer look at Hazel. She was wearing a belly free top and shorts. A sexy look, but not too sexy. Nikki and I stood up from the bed as well. My girl took my hand, and I could feel how she was shaking. We followed Hazel down the stairs. With every step we made, the voices out of the nearby kitchen became louder. I could recognize the voices of Johana and Kirara, which I knew from some of our video chats. There was another male voice I didn't recognize, then Mr. Hunter and of course the voice that had called us before, which belonged to Hazel's mother.\nHazel, as she was walking ahead of us, entered the kitchen first. I gasped surprised when Nikki pulled me back. I looked at my nervously panting girl.\nHazel came back to see what was wrong. Our friend looked at us and signed, that we should come in. This was shortly followed by her taking my hand and pulling me inside the kitchen. It was big, and had a dining area right next to it, in which I saw a large table with all kinds of food on it. Nikki was still standing outside, while I shyly waved my hand at all the people in that room. I stuttered:\n“H… Hey there. My name is Balto. It is…nice to meet you. Thank you for allowing us to visit your home.”\nHazel’s mother, Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter, came closer to me. My tail was tucked between my legs again, what seemed to amuse her. In a warm and friendly voice, she said to me:\n“Balto, you don’t have to be scared. No one here will hurt you. I am Holly. So, where is Nikki?”\nI pointed at the door.\n“She is standing outside the door. Nikki is a big fan of you and your music.”\nMrs. Rhoads-Hunter looked at the door.\n“Come in, Nikki. There is no need for you to hide from me girl.”\nMy cheetah shyly entered the room. Her tail was twitching, while she kept her eyes on the floor. When she was standing right behind me, she nervously tried to introduce herself:\n“Hello. Sorry, I am so nervous. I just wanted to say that love your music. I have listening to it for many years.”\nMrs. Rhoads-Hunter reached us her hand. First to Nikki, then to me.\n“Nikki, Balto, welcome to our home. Hazel and Johana have told me a few things about you, and I must say that I am looking forward to getting to know you better. I hope you will enjoy our Independence Day BBQ. We have ribs, steak, we also have salads, and drinks are over there. After dinner, I would like to hear more about both of you. Oh, and before I forget it, let me introduce you to my family.”\nShe pointed at Kirara and the man next to her.\n“This is Kirara, her father Damien, and I think you already know Johana, and my husband Joe. Rory, our youngest child, is still playing in his room. Please take a seat, while I get him.”\nWe sat down at the large, solid wooden table on which these delicious smelling dishes were placed. My mouth watered as I looked over the table. Hazel was sitting on my left side, Nikki on my right, and Johana took the free seat next to Nikki. Kirara sat on the opposite side of the table, next to her father, Joe, and little Rory. The seat on the table’s head was taken by Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter herself. She opened the feast with a few words:\n“I am grateful to have the opportunity of celebrating this 4th of July with my dear family and our new friends Balto and Nikki. I wish you all a good appetite.”\n\nI watched how the others filled their plates with food. Hazel next to me took a big piece of ribs, also some chicken wings and fries. She really must have been hungry. Nikki took a steak, right before she turned her head towards me.\n“Balto, don’t you want something to eat? Wait, I bet you want some ribs.”\n\nNikki then filled my plate with some fantastic-looking food, including ribs, wings, and wedges. \nThe taste was even better than the smell. I finished my plate rather quickly, since it was so good, but was still hungry afterward. Now, mom always tells me to be modest when I am invited for dinner at someone else's place. That is why I didn’t dare to take seconds. Mr. Hunter saw me sitting behind the empty plate and asked if I was full already. I shook my head and explained what my mother had told me, to which he smiled.\nHe complimented my mother's parenting. But he also told me to eat as much as I wanted because there was more than enough food here for everyone.\n\nThis dinner took two hours, I cannot even describe how full we all were afterward. Moving became an impossible task, which is why we stayed seated and only talked for some time.\nAnother hour later, Nikki wanted to go for a little walk outside. Hazel and Johana happily agreed when Nikki asked if they would show us around their garden. It was such a beautiful piece of land. We saw several apple-, peach-, and cherry trees. Even a strawberry field, which was Nikki’s favorite. As you know, she has a thing for strawberries. There also was a big pond in with Koi fish. Johana explained that their mother often comes here to relax after a long tour. Later, they showed us more of the house, including their mother’s studio in the cellar. At this point, it was already about 11 pm. Nikki and I both yawned loudly.\n\nMy cheetah then told Johana and Hazel that we were exhausted from this extraordinary dinner and the walk around the property and would therefore like to go to bed. \nNikki and I said good night to our hosts and wished Mr. Hunter much fun for the seminar he wanted to visit the next day. Afterward, we went upstairs to our room. Nikki helped me pull my covers onto the blanket and pillow, then we stripped naked, lay down and turned off the light. I heard Nikki breathing and mumbling, she still seemed excited that we were allowed to be here. I turned on my side and looked at her: \n“Nikki, is everything ok?”\nShe cuddled up close to me, giving me a little kiss.\n“Sure, Fluffy. This is so amazing. We are staying in the house of my idol.”\n\nHonestly, I was tired and not in the mood for a conversation, so I didn’t respond to that. I only put my arm around my girl and yawned. I had my eyes closed for only five minutes, as a sudden sound from outside startled Nikki and me. It sounded like someone had dropped something in front of our room’s door. Nikki turned the light back on, stood up and looked outside, but there was no one there. She shrugged and rejoined me in the bed, after she had locked the door and switched off the lights again. We cuddled up close once more, closed our eyes and fell asleep.\n\n\nTuesday:\n\n\nThe morning began with the lovely sound of singing birds. A look at my mobile showed that it was 8 am. There was also a missed call and several messages from my mother. I was so tired yesterday, I totally forgot to call her. Stupid me. I wrote her an excuse, told her a little about yesterday and why I didn’t call her. Fortunately, she understood that. Then I checked on Nikki. My girl was still sleeping, without a blanket to hide her slender body. I watched how her breasts moved up and down and how her paws twitched sporadically, it was funny for me to watch.\nI placed my hand on her belly, moved it slowly over the short fur. A soft purr could be heard from the sleeping feline, right before she stretched her body and opened her eyes. She greeted me with a smile:\n“Good morning, Fluffy. Did you sleep well?”\nGently, she placed her right hand on my belly and moved it down from there until she had something stiff in her hand. I didn't recognize my morning wood up to that moment. Nikki whispered:\n“It seems that someone else is awake too.”\nMy girl began to stroke my hard member. The same time, she reached between her slightly spread legs with her free hand. My cheetah rubbed her clit, moaned, and tightened her grip around my precum-dripping member. She then ordered me to sit on her belly, what I did with pleasure. This position made it easier for her to jerk my cock. The feeling was incredible. I couldn’t resist humping her hand, while my knot slowly grew and pressed against her hand with every thrust I made. I placed my hands to the right and left of Nikki's head, moaning with pleasure and delight as my girl increased the pace at which she jerked me off.\nNikki grinned at me.\n“Don’t hold it back, doggy. Give your kitty some milk,” the cheetah whispered while her look was fixated on my cock.\nEven if I had wanted, I couldn’t have held it back. After one last thrust, I shot my warm seed in the direction of my lusty feline. I was panting and giggled when I saw Nikki’s face after my orgasm. \nIt was covered all over with my sperm. Nikki looked happy when she said:\n“Good doggy. Now be a charm and clean my face. I can’t leave the room like that.”\nI looked around for a towel, but when I tried to get up, Nikki stopped me with the words:\n“No, do it with your tongue. Lick your puppy juice off my face, and then kiss me.”\nIt wasn't the first time I had to lick my semen off Nikki, so I didn’t hesitate to follow her order.\nI lowered myself down to lick slowly over her throat, her cheeks, her forehead, and her sweet muzzle. I tried to get every drop of my juice off her cute face, before I raised my head to look into her beautiful eyes. Nikki touched my cheek with her right hand.\n“Now, kiss me.”\nI pressed my lips on hers. During this sensual kiss, we both opened our mouth to let our tongues play with each other. Nikki purred while she tasted and swallowed parts of my cum. But then, Nikki pushed my back. With a big grin of her wet face, she said in a seductive voice:\n“My tasty wolf. Come, let us take a shower, before we go downstairs.”\n\nWe stood up and covered ourselves in the bathrobes our host had provided us with. Nikki unlocked the door, and we walked over to the bathroom. Inside it, we took off the robes again. This bathroom looked so modern. It had a whirlpool with LED lights around it, and a big shower cabin with a radio inside. Nikki opened the cabin's door and gave me a sign.\n“Hope in, doggy,” she commanded me with a friendly smile.\n\nI stepped inside, followed by my girl, then Nikki turned on the water and we began a long, relaxing shower. My kitty cat first helped me to wash my back, my tights, and my butt. \nShe then asked me to place my hands on the cabin's wall, knelt behind me and took care of my paws. First the left, then the right one. Her hands felt so good while she massaged my pads one by one. I had to bite my lips. Otherwise, someone would have heard me moaning for sure. I enjoyed as her hands slowly wandered up my legs. My sheath soon began to swell. It didn’t take long until the tip of my penis showed itself once more. Nikki squeezed my swollen sheath, pulled it back a bit. The feeling of her touching my growing member with her fingers was so arousing.\nSuddenly, I heard her giggling, what made me wonder.\n“What’s so funny, Nikki?”\nNikki looked around, then replied:\n“Oh, I was just thinking about taking a photo of your cock and sending it to Hazel. You know how badly she wants to have sex with you. What do you think?”\nI just wanted her to continue, since it felt good what she did before this talk about a photo of my genitals.\n“Please, can you just go on?”\nNikki sighed.\n“Oh, does my doggy wish to mark his kitty again? Well, ok. Turn around.”\n\nI gladly followed this command. My hard cock slapped against Nikki’s nose, what caused her to giggle. The water blurred my sight a bit, but I could clearly see a figure looking at us from outside the shower cabin. I startled, as I spotted our watcher. Nikki was just about to take my cock into her mouth and was rather surprised about my reaction.\n“What is it? This isn’t the first time I have given you a blowjob.”\nI pointed outside.\n“There is someone watching us.”\n\nNikki turned off the water, opened the door and looked outside. The bathroom door was open, but there was no one else in the room anymore. She only found a pair of panties on the floor. We could tell from their size that they belonged to Hazel. Nikki grinned and said:\n“I guess or voyeur forgot something. Wait a second, Balto.”\n\nI was a bit clueless, as Nikki left the room. She came back a moment later, with her mobile in hand. \nMy member was still standing, she took a photo, and sent it to Hazel with the words:\n“I just wanted to let you suck it. Sad, you ran away. Oh, and you forgot your panties.”\n\nNikki chuckled as she showed me what she wrote. I only shook my head.\n“That is mean. Can we finish our shower now?”\nThe feline placed her phone on a shelf, before she rejoined me in the shower cabin. Sadly, this interruption caused my member to withdraw back into its sheath. Nikki seemed to be a bit disappointed, and continued with cleaning my back, front, and at the end, my hair. She even gave me a little head massage, which I particularly enjoyed.\nAfter I was springtime fresh, at least that is what was standing on the shampoo bottle, it was Nikki’s turn.\nShe just asked me to be careful with her hair as she didn't want to wash it this time.\n\nI knelt in front of my girl, she presented me her left paw and spread her toes. I took the shampoo and rubbed some of it into her short fur, and between her soft beans. Nikki moaned, as I massaged her sensitive paw. She then switched to the right one, which I took care of just as I did with the left one. The next step were Nikki’s long legs. Again, I began with the left one. Her calf, up to the knee, the upper leg. The same on the right leg. Nikki purred loudly under my treatment. After I was done with her lower regions, I stood up and took the shampoo back into my hands. With a big blob of it, I began to massage her back. I could hear her claws on the tiles, she enjoyed this just as much as I did.\nBut we weren’t done yet, I spared the best for the end. Her firm little butt. When Nikki felt my hands touching her, she purred and positioned herself a little more wide-legged for me to give me easier access. A lustfully moaned “use your tongue” was the next command Nikki gave me. I knelt down behind her again and sniffed her backside. Nikki used her hands to spread her cheeks, presenting me her little backdoor on a silver platter. My muzzle came closer to her, her scent so tantalizing that I almost lost control of myself.\nI began to lick over my girl’s butthole. In slow, long turns at first, but my pace soon increased as Nikki pressed herself against my tongue. She moaned so loud that she had to cover her mouth with her left hand. \nHer reactions to my tongue play surprised me a little, but also spurred me on to go deeper and explore the inside of her sweet butt. When I moved my head back for a moment to take a breath, I noticed that my girl was rubbing her wet pussy with her right hand. I sunk my muzzle back between her buttocks, to stick my tongue deep inside her backdoor. Nikki’s breathing soon became faster, she sure was close. And only seconds later, my lusty feline screamed in lust and pleasure. My girl used her left hand to muffle her sounds. Nikki's legs were trembling, and she was panting heavily after her climax. It took her a moment to catch her breath, then she slowly turned around and looked down at me, as I was still kneeling in front of her on the floor of the shower cubicle.\n“Good boy, Balto. Now let’s get some breakfast,” she suggested, still panting.\n\nThis was a bit disappointing for me, as you might imagine. But at least Nikki had her -share of fun. My feline helped me up, then we left the shower to dry up. Afterward, we rushed back to our room to get dressed.\nNikki took a black bra, panties, a black crop top and a matching skirt. I decided to just wear shorts and my Jurassic Park shirt. \nHand in hand, we walked down the stairs to the kitchen, where we were met by Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter. You should have seen Nikki’s eyes, as she spotted her idol that morning. They became as big as the spotlights of her car. This was because Hazel’s mother was only wearing panties and a thin top. She sure looked sexy. \nNikki seemed to have some sort of system crash. She didn’t move anymore, after she had seen her idol like that. Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter chuckled as she saw me giving Nikki a gentle nudge to reboot her. Our hostess then offered us breakfast by saying:\n“Good morning, you two. I hope that you slept well. Nikki, do you want some coffee? There are fresh buns, and we also have cereals over there. Balto, you want to drink something?”\nMy tail wagged, as I smelled the fresh buns. I gathered my courage and asked for my favorite drink, \n“Can I have some cocoa?”\nMrs. Rhoads-Hunter reached for a metal box and gave me a smile.\n“Sure thing, sweetheart. Oh, and Nikki, you look great. I like your top, and your legs are stunning. I bet the boys are after you at college.”\nNikki was flattered by these words and still couldn't take her eyes off our host as we sat down at the table. She replied to the compliment Hazel’s mom gave her: \n“Yeah, maybe a few. Oh, you also look great. I mean, your body, your fur, your butt.”\nNikki was shocked at her words and put her hands over her muzzle to shut herself up, while Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter and I started laughing. \n“I am so sorry, I didn’t want, I didn’t mean to… damn.”\nMrs. Rhoads-Hunter placed her hand on Nikki’s shoulder, after she placed two cups, one with coffee for Nikki and one with cocoa for me, on the table.\n“It is ok, Nikki. Don’t worry. You should see some of the dirty messages my fans write on my social media pages after my concerts. The woman who is taking care of these pages for me once showed me a few. I tell you, a number of these so-called fans should get help, or at least take a cold shower. I am sorry for making you feel uncomfortable, I am just used to not wearing more in the morning, especially in summer.”\nNikki could smile a bit again by now and replied,\n“It is ok. I run around naked at home too, same goes for my mom. I mean, it is home, so who should care. It is just, well, you are my idol. I am sorry for how I have reacted.”\nI enjoyed my cocoa, while I listened to that conversation. Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter joined us at the table after she took herself some coffee.\n“Don’t worry about it, my dear. Enjoy your breakfast. By the way, what have you planned for today?”\nNikki became nervous once more when she answered,\n“Well, Balto and I thought that you maybe could give us some tips to improve our singing and acting skills. Only if it's not too much to ask for, of course.”\nMrs. Rhoads-Hunter quickly checked her phone, before she replied to Nikki’s request.\n“Sure, we can do that. My sound engineer will be over soon. We want to do some test recordings for a new song and then I can have look at you two. What kind of songs do you normally sing?”\nNikki, delighted by this answer, replied:\n“We mainly sing love songs, as well as pieces from films, plays and musicals. We mainly focus on theater, as we would like to become actors later on.”\nMrs. Rhoads-Hunter leaned back in her chair.\n“Actors? Movie or theater?”\nMy girl slowly became more confident in the way she talked to our hostess.\n“In theater. See, we are in a theater group, and we all aim to become professionals one day. We want to stay together as long as possible.”\nMrs. Rhoads-Hunter nodded.\n“A noble task, and I hope you can achieve that goal. But as far as I experienced it, the pressure and the competition in this business is very hard. You two should keep a back-up plan in hand, just in case.”\nHer phone buzzed and interrupted their talk. After a quick glance at the display, our hostess said:\n“Oh, my technician is here. His name is Kai, by the way. Shall we go downstairs?”\n\nWe finished our breakfast and then followed Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter downstairs to her studio, where we met with Kai. The Shiba Inu told us a bit about himself, for example that he is from Japan, and that he is the Keyboard and piano player in Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter’s band Silver Fang.\nWe watched Nikki’s idol performing in the studio for about two hours before she took a break. Kai excused himself for a moment, and we had the chance to talk a bit more with Nikki’s idol, who asked after she emptied a bottle of water:\n“Did you like it? This song will be the first on my newest album. But now, I want to watch you two singing. Do you have a favorite song?”\nNikki answered her, while I tried to understand that sound mixer. There were so many switches and buttons, how does someone ever understand how to work with these machines?\n“How about ‘I see the light?’ That is one of our favorites.”\nMrs. Rhoads-Hunter seemed to be amused by our choice.\n“Not what I expected, but ok. There is a teleprompter for the text in the studio, we just have to wait for Kai. Why don't you go into the studio and make yourselves comfortable while we wait?\n\nOnce Kai was back, they set the lights to match our song and then Nikki and I started singing this beautiful love song. After we were done, or hostess joined us in the studio. She complimented us but also had a few tips after watching us sing.\n“Impressive, both of you. However, there is room for improvement. First, Nikki. Your voice is gorgeous. Yet, you need to work on your breathing technique. Some sit-ups might also help. Do you have a vocal coach?”\n\n\nNikki shook her head.\n“No, we don’t have one at the moment. We had one at college, a woman. She said that she was once a big number in musicals and movies. Said she was one of the first anthropomorphic stars on stage. But she was selfish and racist, so our director had to fire her.”\nThis poor description must have triggered a memory inside Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter’s head.\n“Wait, please don’t tell me it was Severa Abbas. This woman ended many promising careers before they even started.”\nNikki looked down to the ground and answered,\n“It was her, yes. She hardly taught us anything, even excluded Balto and another member of our group from rehearsals. But she is gone now, and so far, we couldn’t find a replacement for her.”\nOur hostess sounded slightly shocked. She seemed to really know Mr. Abbas and her arrogant personality.\n“Every frog could teach you better than she can. She was always only interested in herself. At the end, nobody wanted to work with her anymore. But enough of that, let us move on.” \nShe turned her head towards me.\n“Balto, you also have to train your breathing. You are a bit short of breath. Do sit-ups, and jogging can also help to improve your stamina. I also have to tell you that you should change your diet. Away from meat, and more green stuff. It's healthier for a young singer. And if you have a play, be sure that you don’t drink coffee, tea, soda, or other sweet and sour drinks. Better stick to water. Most other things are bad for the voice, at least right before you go on stage. You also shouldn’t eat chocolate, before you go on stage. And most important, no alcohol, no smoking. All these things can damage your voice. Let us try something else, and this time, we will sing together. How about “All for love”? That song is for three singers, and it fits perfectly to both of your voices and styles.”\nMrs. Rhoads-Hunter looked through the window at her technician.\n“Kai, are you ready? Balto, you begin.”\nKai gave her a thumbs up, and the music began. It was so much fun to sing this tune, and luckily, it was recorded. That way we were able to send it to our friends and family. Gabriel’s reaction was both sad and funny. He was so jealous. Like a little cub who just had to watch you getting a bigger piece of cake than he did.\nAfter we were done, it was time to back upstairs. On the way to the stairs, Nikki spotted something.\n“Mrs. Roads-Hunter, is that different version of the last album? I don’t know that one, and I have all of your CDs.”\nI saw a smile appearing on the face of the music star.\n“It is, it just isn’t published yet. I always get a few copies for friends. Do you want one? Oh, and you two can call me Holly.”\nNikki jumped in joy.\n“That would be awesome! Can you sign it for us? Oh, and can I maybe have a few more, for our group? I will pay for them, of course.”\nHolly now seemed flattered.\n“That is not necessary, take them as a gift. I will sign them for you, but then we really have to go back upstairs. I need to look after my kids, before they tear down the house.”\n\nNikki reacted like a little schoolgirl after she received the freshly signed copies.\n“Thank you so much! Oh, if it isn’t asked too much, can you sign one for Gabriel, and maybe write a few lines for him? He is such a big fan.”\nMrs. Rhoa- I mean, Holly signed a last copy especially for Gabriel, then we walked upstairs and into our room. Outside it was incredibly hot, at least for me, so leaving the house was not an option that day. \nWhile Holly took care of her family, Nikki and I went upstairs. The happy cheetah just packed the CDs safely into her trolley, as we heard someone knocking at the door. \nAfter I opened it, I could see a slightly annoyed Hatzel standing in front of me. The reason for her bad mood was the fact that we spent so much time with her mother, and not with her. \nWe had a long conversation with our friend about the happenings during Nikki’s and my shower this morning, and about what Hazel did after she so hurriedly left the bathroom. To make it short, I think Johana was a lucky man that day. I mean, with Hazel and Kirara, I am sure you get the picture.\n\nLater on, we went back downstairs to the living room, where we watched cartoons and all episodes of a new Star Wars series. At least we watched it, Nikki fell into a deep slumber after one episode. She still isn’t so much into these nerdy things. The hours past, and after we watched a movie together, we all could barely keep our eyes open anymore. I woke up Nikki, who was a bit grumpy about that, then we went back to our room. Inside, I switched on the pc and finally called my mother in a video call. Nikki, meanwhile, was listening to music through her headphones.\n\n“Hey mom! How are you?”\nMy mother sounded calm and relaxed when she asked,\n“Hello my son. I am fine. How about you and Nicole? Do you enjoy your little vacation so far?”\nI nodded with a big smile on my face.\n“We are ok, mommy. Today we had a little training with Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter. She gave us tips and sang a song with us, want to hear it?”\nMom also smiled at me when she replied in a happy tone,\n“Sure, Balto. It is nice to know that you enjoy your time there. I miss you two. The house is so empty and silent without you.”\n“I miss you too, mommy. We will come back home on Saturday. Could you please pick us up at the airport?”\nMy mother took a look at something off-screen. I could hear paper rustle, then mom had some exciting news for me.\n“You can bet I will. Oh, before I forget. I want to go to Niagara Falls with you and Nicole. Her parents would like to spend the weekend at the lake, and we three will have a nice time together. \nWe have a room on a nice motel, and I found a very good pizzeria on the Internet.”\n“Sounds great, mom. I bet Nikki will like it too.”\nWe had a long day behind us. Mom asked, after she watched me yawning with my mouth wide open:\n“Are you tired, Balto? Perhaps, you should go to bed. It is past your bedtime. Oh, just one more thing, before I forget it. Your grandparents called me today. They want you to visit them during the summer. I told them that you would probably prefer to spend your time with your girlfriend, but that didn't entirely convince them. They said they would have a right to see their grandson. My response to them was that it is your decision alone, and that I will not force you to visit them if you don't want. I only tell you that because they might call you during the next days.”\nI nodded. If I remember correctly, I mentioned in another entry that I don't like it much to visit my grandparents. A reason why I was thankful my mom doesn't force me to do it.\n“Thanks, mom. I would like to stay with you at home. They don’t even have internet at their house.”\nMy mother laughed.\n“At least you like your grandma’s cakes and cookies. But now you probably should go to bed, Balto. I can see from here, that you can barely keep your eyes open. Give your girl a hug from me, ok? I wish you a good night, and we will talk again tomorrow, yes?”\nMy tail wagged fast again as I cheerfully replied,\n“Sure, mommy! I wish you a good night too! I love you!”\nI could see her smiling into the cam.\n“I love you too, my son. More than you can imagine.”\n\nAfter we had finished the call, I sent my mother the song we recorded earlier. Afterward, I undressed and went to bed. My cheetah switched off her music, took off her clothes and cuddled up close. We were both tired that day. The heat, the singing, all that was very exhausting. Nikki fell asleep only seconds after she laid down. That way, I had a few moments to review the day. And what a rememberable one it was. I mean, how many teens can say that they sang together with a rock star in their basement? Other than I had expected, Holly is a nice lady. Just as I wrote at the beginning of this entry, I thought she might be self-centered and arrogant, just like Ms. Abbas. But she is more like mom, or Mrs. Kofi.\nWith these positive thoughts in mind, I joined Nikki in Morpheus's realm.\n\nTwo days gone, three more to go.\n \nWednesday\n\n\nYou still around? Very cool. I wanted to keep this entry short, and now we reached page 49. There is still much more to tell, so let us move on.\n\nWednesday began with a surprise. But a pleasant one. Nikki woke me up at around 8 o’clock. I yawned loudly while looking at my naked girl. My cheetah gently caressed my back and gave me a lustful kiss, before she helped me out of the bed. I was so tired that, for me, it felt like we would have slept for just an hour. I nearly ran against the door on my way out of the room, so tired I was. Nikki chuckled, while she held me close to herself. She then whispered top me,\n“I better guide you before you get hurt. Let us take a little shower, maybe that will wake you up.”\n\nClose together, we walked over to the bathroom. We brushed our teeth, afterward Nikki prepared the shower for us. A few minutes later, as we were standing under the warm water and enjoying each other’s company, we heard the door open. Someone entered on sneaky paws. We both imagined that it was Hazel, like it was the case yesterday. This time, Nikki wanted to tease the naughty girl. She positioned me on the shower’s door, with my eyes in the direction of the bathroom door, so I could look outside, right at our voyeur. Nikki was standing behind me. I could feel her gentle hands reaching down on my body. She started at my chest, slowly down over my belly, and then between my legs. My sheath began to swell. The tip of my member showed itself swiftly, thanks to Nikki’s skillful touches.\nI couldn't do much else but enjoy Nikki massaging my sheath and balls as my penis grew bigger. Soon it was at its full size. I moaned silently when Nikki began to stroke my cock, always careful that our audience could watch.\n\nNot only my knot grew bigger, the same went for my horniness. I just wanted to begin thrusting into my girl’s hand, as Nikki reached for the cubicle’s door and opened it without any warning. Outside, we could see a naked Hazel kneeling on the cold tiles, one hand touching her little breasts, the other one was between her legs rubbing her pussy. The young canine girl looked very surprised at us. This time, it was too late for her to run away. But I guess that she didn’t want to do that again anyway. She started to grin when she looked at my wet, naked body. But I think she was even more interested in my twitching cock, which I tried to somehow hide with both my hands. The girl, other than I would have expected it from all the chats we had in the past, didn’t do more than stare at me. Nikki passed me, stepped out of the shower and towards the poor girl. Her fur and paws were dripping wet, she had to be cautious not to slip. As she stood in front of Hazel, she helped the girl up, turned around, pointed at me, and asked her:\n“Want to have a taste of him, Hazel? I know you wanted to play with my wolf for months. Go on, I would like to see what this cute muzzle of yours can do.”\n\nThen Nikki stepped back into the cubicle, closely followed by Hazel. A happy coincidence that this shower was big enough for three. Nikki commanded me to take my hands away from the goods for Hazel to take a closer look. Hazel’s grin grew bigger as Nikki ordered her down on her knees in front of me. The cheetah took my cock into one hand, pointing its tip down at the kneeling girl’s mouth. Hazel didn’t move at first, so Nikki said in a commanding tone,\n“Lick and suck it, Hazel. Don’t stop until doggy here is done.”\n\nI was a bit nervous, as Hazel slowly now began to lick over my wet shaft. Nikki noticed that and tried to calm me down by massaging my shoulders.\nHazel soon became more confident. It surprised me how skilled and eagerly she licked the water off my twitching member.\nNext, I could watch how she took my shaft into her right hand, opened her muzzle, and slowly swallowed it until the swelling knot hit her lips. After a moment of enjoying the piece of meat in her warm mouth, Hazel moved her head back. With only my tip remaining in her mouth, the young girl looked up at me. She looked so cute like that. I moaned loudly as she pressed her head greedily against my crotch again, swallowing my dick all the way down to my knot.\nSlowly and with raising pleasure, Hazel picked up a steady pace and sucked on my cock, which soon brought me to the edge of my climax. Instincts took over, as I placed my hands on Hazel’s head. I held her in position and began to thrust my cock into her warm and tight muzzle.\nSeveral times, I pulled my cock almost completely out of her mouth before I pushed it back in. All that under Nikki’s watchful eyes. Next, I heard how Nikki opened the shampoo bottle. I gasped in surprise when I felt her finger pressing inside my butthole. My girl knows exactly how she has to stimulate my prostate to make me cum. A few more thrusts, a silent howl, then I shot my seed deep in Hazel’s throat. The young canine swallowed with a smile, then she cleaned my member with her tongue. Hazel was desperate not to miss a single drop of my seed.\nAfter she was done, we all enjoyed a warm shower together. Afterward, we moved downstairs to get some breakfast. Holly was nowhere to be seen, same for Johana or anyone else. Hazel explained that they went to the market to buy some food for today’s dinner. So, we were alone. Or better, I was alone. Alone with two naughty, horny girls.\n\nSorry to disappoint you, but we didn’t do anything else that time. We only had a nice breakfast with cocoa, toast, and cereals, while Nikki got her beloved cup of morning coffee. After breakfast, we watched cartoons and a few music videos on Pawtube, then we switched over to the news. They talked mostly about the war between Ukraine and Russia, the gas prices and about demonstrations against a decision of the supreme court. I usually don’t watch the news. They are always so depressing. But Nikki wanted to watch them, especially because of the protests. They were against a new law banning abortions, if I understood that right. There were even some protests held in Darwin’s Hope. I wondered if mom or Nikki’s parents also visited those protests.\n\nAfter the news broadcast was over, we heard how Holly, Johana and Rory came back from the market. We all helped a bit with cleaning the kitchen, before we went back to the living room and sat down on the couch. Then we heard it for the first time. A sound I so far only knew from some documentations.\nIt was a bird. A parrot, to be precise. Holly brought it into the room. At first it just sat on her shoulder, but then it flew freely around the room when Holly had to leave the room to take a call. Nikki watched the bird with big eyes, her pupils grew bigger, she chattered while her tail twitched wildly. All the muscles in her body seemed to tense up. She looked at that bird like I had never seen it before, like she would turn into a wild cat, ready to hunt and kill her prey. Her whiskered twitched, and as if that bird wanted to commit suicide, it landed in front of Nikki. Hazel and I tried to hold Nikki back, we feared the worst, but the feline didn’t react to our words or anything else. Her eyes were fixed on the bird. Johana and Hazel just screamed, as Nikki raised her hands to catch the parrot. That crazy feather bearer only looked at Nikki, tilted his head and suddenly spoke: “Pretty girl”. \nTo our relief, Nikki gained back control over herself. She looked at the bird and shook her head.\n“Damn, what happened? I couldn’t control myself. What is that bird doing in here? You never said that you have pets, Hazel.”\nAt that moment, Holly came back.\n“This is our parrot. His name is Marley.”\nHazel still seemed to be a bit confused and worried.\n“Mom, Nikki acted really weird, she seemed as she wanted to kill and eat Marley.”\nHolly gave a sign, and Marley flew to her.\n“I am sorry. We barely have felines in our house.”\nNikki was clearly shocked by her behavior.\n“I am so sorry. I couldn’t control myself. I never felt like that before. Please, forgive me, I am so sorry.”\nShe covered her eyes in shame, while Hazel and I carefully caressed her back. Holly spoke, after she brought Marley out of the room:\n“All fine, Nikki. We all are sometimes victims of our primitive instincts. Nothing happened, so let us just forget it. Would you like something to eat?”\nNikki stood up and walked towards the door. \n“I just need some fresh air. Just give me a minute or two.”\nNikki left, while I looked after her with a worried expression. Holly noticed that.\n“Balto, maybe you should follow her. That isn’t an easy situation for your girl. When those wild instincts take over, it can be a disturbing feeling for a young Anthro.\"\n\nAs Holly had suggested, I stood up and followed Nikki. She went to the Koi-Pond, where she sat down in the grass. I joined her, and we talked about what just happened. Nikki was still confused, but together we managed to make her smile again. We sat there for quite a while until it occurred to me that Nikki could perhaps call her mother and ask her for advice.\n\nUnfortunately, Mrs. Kofi didn’t take the call. Nikki sighed, but smiled again after I said that We could try it again in the evening.\nSometime later, we saw Hazel and Johana coming our way. Nikki was afraid of them being mad at her, but that wasn’t the case. Perhaps their mother had spoken with them, while we were gone. Our friends gave Nikki a group hug, which made Nikki feel better again. We remained at this peaceful place for another hour, before we slowly walked back to the house. A strong wind came up, and dark clouds rolled in. Holly shouted, as we were close enough to the house:\n“Come in, it will soon begin to rain.”\nBack inside, Holly gave Nikki another hug. Nikki was still a bit ashamed, and her gaze was fixed to the floor. Holly smiled at my girl and lifted her head with her hand to look Nikki in her eyes, then she said,\n“Heads up, sweetheart. You, know, I have an idea. Since this weather won’t go away any time soon, how about a movie marathon? I can make popcorn, and we even have some nachos here. What do you say?”\n\nAfter a brief discussion about which movies we should watch, we decided on a Jurassic Park marathon. Even young Rory watched with us and cheered every time he saw the T. Rex. I wonder if I was like that at the age of five. All in all, it was a very relaxed day.\n\nIn the evening, we had a fantastic homemade pizza for dinner. Besides that, Johana prepared a mixed salad with chicken stripes for us. After dinner, Holly took Nikki to the room in which Marley had his refuge. I guess she wanted to give my cheetah the chance to apologize to the bird she had almost eaten. Meanwhile, Hazel, Johana, Rory, and I watched a few more music videos of Holly and her band. I imagined how it would be for me to be famous like her. Would I be able to still be myself? Or would I become a different person?\n\nHolly and Nikki were gone for over an hour. My girl later told me that they talked about music, about the college, our plays, and a possible concert in our town. \nIt was about 11 pm when Nikki and I excused ourselves. We were both tired, and I wanted to call mom before bedtime.\n \nBack upstairs, I turned on the PC and called my mother, who was seemingly sitting on our couch. I greeted her happily:\n“Hey, mom! How are you?”\nMom sounded happy about my call.\n“Balto, I was waiting for you. I am fine, and what about you? Asha is here, we are watching TV. Earlier, we had pizza and some whine. I miss you, sweetie.”\nMy tail wagged. My mother’s words made me smile.\n“We are fine, too. I can’t wait to get to Niagara Falls.”\nNikki joined me in front of the cam. \n“Hey, Christa, could I talk to my mom for a moment? It would be important.”\nMom happily agreed.\n“Sure thing, Nicole.” We heard mom shouting; “Asha, your daughter wants to speak with you.”\nI guess that Mrs. Kofi was in the kitchen, but she appeared on the screen shortly after mom called for her. Nikki’s mother waved to the camera, then said:\n“Hello, Nicole, hi Balto. What can I do for you?”\nNikki began to tell our moms about the not-so-ordinary event that had happened today:\n“Mom, something happened today, I hope you can give me some advice. The family here has a pet parrot, and as I saw it, I lost control over myself. All I could think of was hunting and killing this bird. Balto and our friends shouted at me, but I couldn’t get out of that state.”\nMrs. Kofi seemed to be worried of her daughter.\n“Did you kill the bird?” She asked.\nNikki shook her head.\n“No, I didn’t. Marley, I mean, this parrot, called me a pretty girl just as I was about to strike. At that moment, I regained control. The bird is fine, but I am scared. Why couldn’t I control myself? Why did I act like that?”\nHer mother tried her best to calm Nikki down, and to explain what happened:\n“Nicole, I am not a doctor. But I think that is simply because of our biology. We are still felines, and as such, we sometimes see birds as our prey.”\nNikki wasn’t satisfied by this answer.\n“But I have seen chicken run around, and birds in the park. I never had a feeling like that before.”\nMrs. Kofi tried further to calm her daughter down.\n“Nicole, it is most likely a primitive instinct. Please don’t put too many thoughts into it. I will call our doctor, maybe he can tell me more. Perhaps it helps if you look somewhere else, should these instincts come back.”\nNikki still seemed to be scared of how she reacted to Marley’s appearance. Her next question was a bit of a shock to me.\n“What if I hunt Balto?”\nHer mother's voice became more definite. \n“Nicole, stop. You are not Dr. Jekyll’s cat. There is no second person inside you, and I bet this was a one-time thing. Please try to enjoy your vacation. As I said, I will call a doctor, and I will speak with your father. Idrissa has seen much in his life, perhaps he has an idea.”\nMy mother added:\n“Your mom is right, Nicole. You would never hurt someone you care about. Especially not Balto. Don’t worry, my dear.”\nNikki finally calmed down. \n“Thank, you mom. Thank you, Christa. I love you both.”\nMy mom replied:\n“We love you too. Oh, one last thing. We listened to the song you send me, Balto.”\nNikki and I were curious.\n“Did you like it?”\n\nThe answer came quickly, in a happy voice.\n“We sure did. It sounds great. I also showed it to my colleagues at work. They loved it. You two can really be proud of yourself. But now, try to get some sleep. Tomorrow is a new day.”\n\nNikki and I waved to the camera, while we whished our moms a good night together. The screen blackened. It went silent in the room.\nMy girl and I then stripped naked and slipped under the blankets. I cuddled up close to Nikki, while she held me in her arms.\nMy sweet girl. I cannot describe how happy I am to have her by my side. Her scent always relaxes me. I never slept better than I do next to her.\n \nThursday\n\nThat night, I had a more than strange dream. I was walking in a white void. There was nothing there. Nothing besides me, and him. Peter. This mysterious stranger, who seems to follow me everywhere. The last time I have seen him was in the cemetery, at my father’s grave. In this dream, we only walked through the white void, without saying anything to each other. After a while, we reached a closed door. Peter turned around, looked at me and said:\n“Balto, I brought you here because there is someone in this room who wants to meet you. Go in. Don’t be afraid. Nothing here can hurt you.”\nI asked Peter:\n“Who is in there?”\nPeter just pointed at the door.\n“He who was and is always by your side.”\n\nHe opened the door for me. Inside the room, I saw my home. The couch, the TV, our kitchen with the big window in the back. There only was one minor difference. The photo of dad, which is standing on the little table next to the couch, was gone. There was someone sitting on the couch, with his back to me. I walked closer to this strange figure.\n“Hello, who are you? Where are we?”\nThe voice I heard next frightened me.\n“Balto, don’t you remember your home? Come, sit with me. Let us have a talk.”\nThis dream, it felt so real. I can barely describe the feeling I had, as I joined the stranger on the couch. I sat down, not right next to him, but close enough. I could see his face clearly now. It was my father. The man I have only known from videos, stories, and photos.\nHe smiled at me and said:\n“You grew big, my son. I wish I could have seen you growing up. I miss your mother. My dear Christa. It sure was a difficult raising you alone. She did an outstanding job. I am proud of you. Do never forget this, Balto.”\nI interrupted him.\n“Dad, please, come with me. Come back home. I want you to come back. Mom and I miss you.”\nDad shook his head.\n“I can’t, Balto. But be assured, I am always with you. Please take care of your mother. Help her, support her. Nothing is more important than family.”\nI screamed in tears:\n“Then why did you leave her that night?”\nDas answered in his calm voice:\n“Balto, I had to. It was my job. This man committed a crime, he needed to be stopped.”\nI continued to scream at him:\n“But he shot you!”\nMy father only nodded.\n“Yes. This human shot me. I died that night. Shortly before my beloved wife gave birth to my son.”\n\nI could feel how I looked at my father. What did he just say? A stupid human was responsible for my father’s death?\nThe world around us began to shake, and dad said, while he stood up and walked in the direction of my mother’s bedroom:\n“Balto, you need to go. Don’t forget, I love you. I will always be with you, my son.”\nThe scene fainted, while I loudly screamed:\n“No! Dad! Don’t leave me, please!”\nAs I opened my eyes, I could only see Nikki’s worried face in front of me. \n\nMy girl was shaking me and screamed in a slight panic:\n“Balto? Balto, wake up!”\nI was panting hard, while I looked around. Then I felt how Nikki pressed me against her.\n“Balto, I am here. Everything is fine, you are awake. You were talking and screaming in your sleep. Is everything ok with you?”\n\nI didn’t respond. I just sat up, covered my eyes, and cried desperately.\nNikki tried what she could to calm me down.\n“Balto, what happened? Did you have a bad dream? Please, tell me.”\nWe heard a sudden knocking at the door, followed by Holly’s voice:\n“Is everything ok in there? I heard someone screaming. Do you need help?”\nNikki answered:\n“No, all is fine. Balto just had a bad dream.”\nMy girl pulled me closer to her, laid my head on her chest and gently caressed me.\nI heard her repeating softly over and over again: \n“All is fine now, Balto. It was just a dream. You are safe.”\n\nIt took some time, until I was able to speak with her about my dream.\nShe listened to me in silence, and as I was done with telling, she grabbed my phone.\n“You should call your mother, now. Maybe she can tell you more about this.”\n\nI called mom in a video call. It took longer than usual for her to pick up. Naturally, she sounded concerned, as she saw my teary eyes.\n“Balto? What happened? Have you cried?”\nNikki massaged my shoulders a bit, knowing that this always relaxes me.\n“Mom, I had a dream. I saw dad. I talked with him, it felt so real. And he said that his death was caused by a human. Why did you never tell me that?”\nSilence followed, as mom tried to find the right words.\n“Balto, I only wanted to protect you. But how can you even know that? Dreams are nothing but mirrors of our memories and wishes. It is impossible that someone in this dream told you about something you could never know.”\nI almost shouted at my mom:\n“Protect me from what? And how? By lying to me?”\nMy mom stayed calm, while we both were fighting with our tears.\n“I never lied to you. I kept this fact hidden because I didn’t want my son to become a bitter man who hates humans. Your father would have never wanted that to happen. That is why I kept this a secret from everyone. Balto, please. Promise me that you don’t judge all humans after this one single man. He has received his punishment. Last year, I received a letter from the chief of police. Maybe you remember him from the visit in the police station. He was the one who gave you your father’s badge. In that letter, I was told that the murderer of your father is dead. \nHe died in prison during a revolt. Please, Balto. Don’t become like him, don’t start to hate. That is not you. It would only destroy you.”\nShe was right. Even if I felt immense pain in my hearth, even at this point, I shouldn’t let the hate take over. While crying bitter tears, I made a promise to my mother:\n“I love you, mommy. I promise that I will never be like this man. I will make you and dad proud.”\nA smile appeared on mom’s face.\n“You already did. I am so proud of you. I love you, my son. And I always will.”\n\nWe ended the call a few minutes later. Nikki and I spend the next moments sitting on the bed without saying a single word. A sudden question from her then ended this silence:\n“Should we go home?”\nI shook my head.\n“No. I want to stay here. Can I have cocoa?”\nNikki chuckled.\n“Sure. Let's go and have breakfast. I really need a coffee now.”\n\nAfter we got dressed, Nikki and I went downstairs to have a nice breakfast with our friends. While I enjoined a delightful cup of cocoa with marshmallows, Holly suggested driving into town for a little sightseeing-tour. Sounded like a good plan, some fresh air would just be the right thing for me after the morning we just had. Only Rory didn’t want to go, since he preferred to watch his cartoons instead. That seemed to be a problem at first, until Kirara said that she would stay at home with him. Rory cheered, as he heard his mom agree to this. The little guy gave me a hug, and Nikki got a kiss from him, before we left.\nThe day itself was a rainy one. This was the reason why Nikki and I took some warmer clothes with us. Our hoodies, to be more exact. Holly drove with Hazel, Johana, Nikki, and me into the city and parked the car close to the so-called President’s Residence. This has been the place where the university president has lived since 1852.\nWe began our tour at Angell Hall, which is a part of the University. It has been in use since 1924 and its look reminded me of an old temple.\nThe next place was the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. This building would make a great house for a witch or a Sorcerer. I loved its tower. After a brief visit to the museum, which was boring for me, our little group walked further over the campus of the Michigan Union, the University of Michigan. I always thought that Stark College is big, but this place made me speechless. We didn’t visit every location on the campus, which would have simply taken too long. The place was, due to the time of the year, pretty empty. We only saw a handful of students, which haven’t left the campus during summer break. The biggest surprise for me here was an anthropomorphic couple, which walked hand in hand over the campus. This picture made me smile. Seeing this gave me hope. Ann Arbor isn’t a town like Darwin’s Hope. Here, the most citizens are human, but they are living side by side with Anthros. Neither Nikki nor I have heard a single bad word during our time in the city. Holly explained to us that this university is one of the best medical schools in the country.\n\nHazel seemed to be a bit bored, while we continued our way over the campus. I guess that she had other things planned for the day than visiting a school. Together, we walked to the next building, the so-called Central Recreation Building. It is a place to relax, play basketball and such stuff.\nOur next stop was the Museum of Natural History. This was by far my favorite place. We saw skeletons of whales, dinosaurs, prehistoric sea creatures and lots of other interesting things. The model of the Quetzalcoatlus (A flying reptile), and the exhibit about evolution were two of the most impressing things in there. Sadly, there was nothing about Anthros in there, maybe because we aren’t part of natural evolution. But let us move on.\nAfter we left the museum, we followed Holly to the Burton Memorial Tower. This is a large Clock Tower that stands on the campus. That was also the last station we had on the campus, and honestly, my paws hurt a bit. Hazel seemed to have the same problem, so we made a short break to rest. \nThe next station was the famous State Theater, which is one of the oldest movie theaters in the country. There they show independent movies, concerts, and theatrical productions. A very cool place with a rich history.\nOne of my least favorites was the Graffiti Alley, I guess that this is simply not my kind of Art. It is impressive for sure, just not my thing. Maybe if they drew more pictures of superheroes.\nAfter that, we had a long walk to the north, until we reached the Kerrytown Market & Shops. We sadly couldn’t buy much there, but we at least tried some local specialties and bought a few little souvenirs. \nOur final station was the Ann Arbor Art Center Exhibition Gallery, found in the historic Walker Building. We were all exhausted, except for Nikki and Holly, who joked about us cubs panting hard and rubbing our paws after these 5 hours of walking (including the visits to the museums).\nIt was Johana who suggested a visit to a cool comic bookstore nearby, the Midnight Vault. Since the girls didn’t want to go with us, he and I went there alone. It was such an outstanding shop. I wish we would have a store like that in Darwin’s Hope. \n\nWhile we browsed through the comics, Johana and I talked a bit about our plans for the remaining time of our vacation. He mentioned that he would love to draw a picture of Nikki and me, and I told him about our little shower adventure with Hazel. He wasn’t surprised to hear that his sister had her fun with us. Or, better said, with me. According to his words, Hazel has a strong sex drive. He also asked me to keep it a secret, as her parents aren't aware that he and Hazel are sexually active.\n\nWe stayed inside that store for about an hour, until we rejoined the girls outside the store. We were all hungry, so Holly suggested going to the Hopcat restaurant. She told us about her regular visits to this restaurant and that she also performs there from time to time.\nSince the Hopcat was only ten minutes away from our current location, we decided to walk there. Right after we entered the restaurant, Holly was welcomed by the owner. The human shook all our hands and showed us a nice, big table in the back. He himself brought us the menus and took our drink orders. The heads of other guests turned in our direction from time to time, but we could drink and eat in peace. Nikki and I had the Adobo Chicken Tacos. They were made with braised Adobo chicken, chihuahua cheese, grilled poblanos and onions, and were served with cilantro lime slaw and a lime wedge.\nThe chihuahua cheese made me giggle, since it sounds as if it would be made of annoying little dogs. The owner explained to me that it is a kind of Mexican melting cheese, mostly used for quesadillas and something called gringas.\n\nIt was such a great dinner and just as we finished, the owner came back to our table. We could already hear music playing in the background and people clapping their hands. The owner asked Holly if she wanted to perform one or two songs, since there was a little event taking place. She stood up and took a few steps away from us, so I couldn’t really understand what they were talking about. After a brief discussion with the owner, she apparently agreed to sing a few songs. Holly gave us a sign to follow her over to the event area, where we also got a table in the back. It would have been far too loud for us in the front anyway because we didn’t have earplugs with us.\nHolly stepped on the stage, where she sang a song called “Jungle Love” for the cheering audience. Before she left the stage, she took the microphone off the stand once again. What she said next made Nikki and me to flinch in our chairs.\n“Thank you so much, you are all so kind. I didn’t plan to perform today. My family and I just wanted to grab a bite to eat after showing two dear friends from Darwin's Hope a part of our city. People, please give them a warm Ann Arbor welcome! Balto, Nikki, please stand up for a moment.”\nNikki and I stood up somewhat reluctantly and waved to the cheering audience. Holly continued:\n”The two of them recently showed me that they too are talented singers. Audience, what do you say? Do you want to hear them?”\nThe audience cheered once more. I gulped. It had been a while since we performed in front of humans. Nikki, who seemed to have fewer doubts than me, took my hand and walked with me to the stage. Holly organized two more mics while she instructed the musicians on what to play. Yes, there was a real band there, not only a karaoke machine like I was used to.\nI was so damn nervous when Holly told the audience what we were going to sing with her:\n“We will sing a little song I sang with them in my studio at home. I promise, you will like it. Balto, Nikki, All for Love. Balto, you begin.”\nI wanted to sing, but not a single note came out of my mouth. Holly instructed me to take a deep breath, while I heard someone from the audience shout that I should have a whiskey to relax. The band started again, and this time it worked.\nMy girl and I tried to follow the tips Holly gave us, and it was just great. The feeling was incredible. In fact, I even asked if I could sing another song after we were done. It was one of my favorite songs by the great Elvis Presley, “Falling in Love”. I sang this song several times before. I simply have a thing for love songs. When I was through, my hands were shaking like crazy. I felt hot and cold at the same time, and Nikki had to help me off the stage. As good as my feeling was during our performance, as strange was it now. It was completely silent in the room. I hid under the hood of my hoodie as we walked back to our table so no one could see me.\n\nThen, suddenly, I heard someone start clapping. The rest of the audience soon followed, and I heard Holly’s voice again:\n“Balto, Nikki, good job. People, I am certain that this wasn’t the last time we heard these two. Oh, and I have a little surprise. This performance here was recorded, and if it is ok for you, I will publish it on my channel. People, give these two an extra loud Ann Arbor applause! Woo-hoo!”\n\nNikki and I waved to the people in the room, before we finally rejoined Hazel and Johana at our table. They congratulated us, and we were brought something to drink. I had a glass of coke, which I almost spilled because my hands were still shaking. A waitress saw that and handed me a straw. Holly also came back to the table. To my surprise, Nikki seemed to be angered.\n“Holly, you could have asked us before. Did you plan this?”\nHolly laughed.\n“Nikki, you asked for my help. If you want to be a singer, sing. There is no other way. When a little bird needs to learn to fly, he flies. He doesn’t remain inside the nest and studies the theory of flying. And if a singer hopes to get better at singing, he needs to sing. Of course, you can take singing lessons and such stuff, but in the end, the best training is singing itself. You two did great up there. Keep up what I told you, make a bit more sport, eat healthier, and you two will be known far over the borders of your little town in no-time.”\n\nNikki tapped her paw on the ground. She looked at me, witnessed how Hazel slowly took off the hood of my hoodie, to give me a little kiss. This scene made her smile. She apologized for her little outburst.\n“Thank you, Holly. It means a lot to us. I am sorry, I just want to protect Balto from any bad experiences.”\nHolly chuckled, as she placed her hand on Nikki’s shoulder.\n“My dear, that is noble. But you can’t always protect him. Sometimes, you must push your little bird over the edge and let him fly.”\nNikki became curious.\n“Are you doing the same with Hazel and Johana?”\nHolly looked at her kids.\n“You mean if I encourage them to try things which could bring them forward? I sure do. And I am proud of all my kids, even if none of them shows much interest in singing or acting. At least, not on a professional level. They follow more their father’s footsteps, which is great. Johana is a talented cook, and Hazel loves to help her father make pastry. Perhaps one day she will work with him in his business or even take it over when Joe retires. And that would be just great. Your parents sure are proud of you too, and support you in any way, aren’t they, Nikki?”\nMy girl nodded.\n“They do, yes. The same goes for Balto’s mom. Honestly, I never met another mother who is as supportive as Balto’s mother is.”\n\nHolly reached for my head and tousled my hair. \n“She sure did a fantastic job. But let us get ready now. It gets late, and we should go back home. Do you kids want to watch a movie together later? Tomorrow, Rory, and I will visit the Water Circus, so you will have the house to yourselves.”\nHazel first wanted to protest, but then quickly turned her head towards Nikki, Johana, and me. You didn’t need to be a mind reader to know what she was thinking at that moment.\n\nOur little group headed back to the car. We just managed to take our seats, as it began to rain once more. Slowly, Holly drove us back to this impressive palace of a house, which they called their home. Kirara welcomed us at the door. Altogether, we watched the movie ‘Hook’ with Robin Williams. A funny movie, and I loved the Peter Pan Outfit. Nikki said that it reminds her of my costume for Puck.\n\nIt was almost midnight, as the movie ended. I yawned, what caused Nikki and Hazel to do the same. I took my mobile to at least write my mother a brief message. She answered that she had a nice evening with Nikki’s parents, and that she just wanted to send me a note herself. I told her a bit about our day, about the visit to the restaurant, and that Holly wanted to publish a video of us on her social media.\nThat last point made mom feel a bit uncomfortable. At least she wrote that in her answer, before she wished Nikki and me a good night. My look went up to Holly.\n“Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter, can I have a warm milk with honey?”\nShe smiled at me.\n“Sure, sweetie. But please call me Holly. Hazel, how about you help Balto in the kitchen? I want to upload this video, before I go to bed.”\nHolly left us with Rory at her hand, while Hazel helped me to get some warm milk. My friend told me that the honey was in the cabinet next to the refrigerator. It was one of these pull-out units they usually have inside pharmacies, looked pretty fancy to me. I just wanted to take the honey glass, as I felt Hazel’s hand between my legs. The girl grinned at me while she carefully massaged my balls. In a seductive voice, she told me that she would like to have my milk instead. Yes, I know. That sounds almost as bad as the question of why there is hay on the floor. \nMy sheath began to swell under Hazel’s talented hands, what made the girl smile. Just as she was about to unzip my shorts, Nikki came in. My girl chuckled as she saw what was going on.\n“Hey, doggy. When you said you wanted some milk, I didn’t think Hazel would milk you for it. I am sorry, Hazel. Johana and Kirara went to bed, and I am tired too. Can you probably save that for tomorrow?”\nHazel seemed to be disappointed, but she agreed. With a cup of warm milk in one hand and Nikki in the other, I walked upstairs into our bedroom. Nikki closed and locked the door behind us. I sat down on the bed, drank my milk, and after she had undressed herself, Nikki sat down next to me. She put her left arm around my shoulders, and began to speak silently:\n“Balto, do you think you can sleep this night? You really frightened me this morning. You never talked in your sleep before. And that dream you told us about, honestly, it scared me. I locked the door to prevent Hazel from sneaking in. I like her, but she has an even bigger sex drive than I had, as I was in her age. If you have finished your milk, I would like to sleep. But you will stay close to me, Fluffy.”\nNikki quickly undressed, before she helped me out of my clothes. We laid down, facing each other.\n“Sleep well, my little prince. Your Nikki will watch over you.”\nTiredly, I responded to her:\n“The whole night?”\nShe smiled at me and whispered:\n“The whole night.”\nI felt asleep shortly after we laid down. This night, I slept like a baby. I can’t tell you how relaxing it was. Now I want to tell you about Friday. We are close to the end, my friends.\nFriday\n\n\nA gentle knocking at the door woke us up at about 10 am. It wasn’t Hazel, what was a bit surprising, it was Johana. He asked if everything was ok, and if we would like to come downstairs for breakfast. Nikki stood up first, stretching her body in front of me. My eyes were fixed on her perfect little butt, sadly she turned around after a few seconds. I looked up and saw, how she weighed her boobs in her hands, while I sat up at the edge of the bed.\n“Balto, do you think my breasts grew bigger? I think they are bigger now. Give me your hand, doggy. Touch them.”\nShe took both my hands and placed them on her boobs. I squeezed them a bit, they were as firm as always. Maybe a bit bigger. My fingers played a bit with her nipples, which made them hard, and Nikki moaned silently. \n“Perhaps a bit bigger. But they are awesome. I like your boobies.”\n\nShe sighed, as she took my hands again and pulled me up.\n“Sure, you do. Well, as long as they don’t grow further, it is fine. Get up now before you make me even hornier than I already am.”\n\nWe got dressed, brushed our teeth, then we went downstairs. Hazel, Johana, and Kirara were already sitting at the dining table. The aroma of fresh bread rolls, bacon and eggs, coffee and cocoa greeted us. We joined them for a large breakfast, with everything you could imagine. The last time I had such a breakfast was at the hotel in New York.\nWe were sitting there for about two hours, talked, joked, and more than once, I felt Hazel’s hand between my legs. She even massaged my sheath, and I could see how she was moving on her chair. The smell coming from her made it clear to me, that she was wet. And that she didn’t wear panties under the long shirt she was wearing that morning. Nikki noticed how I became more and more nervous, and of course, she saw what Hazel was doing, since she was sitting right next to me. She seemed a bit embarrassed, and spoke to us silently, as Kirara and Johana seemed to look away:\n“Could you two please wait until later? What if Holly is still here?”\nJohana heard her and replied:\n“Our mother has been gone for about two hours, Nikki. Don’t worry, I have seen Hazel doing much worse things. I wonder why she still isn’t kneeling under the table. Or has Balto dragged to her room yet. She wanted to have sex with him for the whole week now. Last night it was so bad that she came to my room, and well, you can imagine the rest. I am still a bit sore. Thanks for that, sister.”\nHazel showed her tongue to her brother, then responded:\n“Kirara has done a lot more with you than I have. And I only cleaned your cock after she was done!”\nHazel squeezing my sheath hard, what made me yelp.\n“Not so hard, Hazel! That thing is sensitive, and I still need it.”\nNikki laughed, while Hazel eased her grip. My girl warned Hazel:\n“Yes, be careful. Otherwise, there will be no fun for either of us later.”\nShe looked over the table to Johana.\n“What reminds me. You mentioned that you would like to draw me. When do you want to start with that? I guess we should begin soon, if Hazel is willing to let Balto go.”\nJohana nodded and looked at the clock.\n“We should start with it, yes. Well, my room is ready, we can start right away if you are ready for it. I will just clean the kitchen a bit. Meanwhile, Kirara can show you my room. You can get comfortable, I mean, get naked, and see if you find a pose you like. And Balto, you don’t need to have a boner all the time, don’t worry.”\n\nHazel chuckled, as she noticed the tent in the shorts I was wearing.\n“He sure has a boner right now. Nikki, can I play with your doggy?”\nNikki chuckled.\n“Later, Hazel. We would lose too much time, if he gets stuck in you.”\n \nSomehow, I was relieved. Hearing that Johana was sore because of Hazel scared me a bit.\nWe went to Johana’s room, where Kirara showed us around. This room is a nerdy paradise, I can tell you that much. Comics, action figures, replicas from movies, badges from several cons, it was fantastic. On the walls, I could see some pictures of sushi and other Japanese food. His desk was a big and modern table with two monitors on it, a flight control stick, and an expensive looking webcam. Another thing that cached my interest was a keyboard piano next to the desk. Then Kirara showed us a map with various of Johana’s drawings, including some nude pictures of her and Hazel. While Nikki and I browsed through this map, Kirara prepared the easel for Johana. She also brought a mattress, which she placed in front of it. A few cushions and other decorations, and soon it looked like a place in an oriental palace. Kirara really has some serious decorating skills.\nBecause of this setting, Nikki got an idea.\n“Kirara, do you don’t have a collar and maybe a harness or something like that here? I thought that I could be a slave girl for my naughty little prince.”\n\nMy tail wagged when I heard that idea, while Hazel chuckled. \nIt was her who ran out of the room and came back with some things minutes later. She had a sexy black leather harness, a collar with a leash attached to it, and some fitting cuffs. I didn’t dare to ask where she got all this. Nikki and Kirara smiled at each other, then my girl began to strip naked. First her top, then her pants, and the panties. She was standing there in all her natural beauty, while Kirara looked at her with big eyes and an even bigger smile on her face. Nikki stretched her arms to her.\n“Would you like to help me prepare me for my prince, Kirara?”\nA quick nod from the staring canine followed, before she placed the cuffs on Nikki’s ankles and wrists. Then came the harness, which looked so hot on Nikki that I wanted her never take it off again. The last thing was the collar, and then the cheetah slave girl was ready to serve.\nShe looked at me, turning around a few times, so I could see her whole body.\n“What do you say, my little prince? This looks great, I will buy a harness like that as soon as we come home.”\nI couldn’t say anything, since Nikki looked like a very wet dream, if you know what I mean.  My member was fully out of its sheath, and the tent in my shorts was even bigger than before.\nNikki came closer to me and swayed her hips seductively. Her long tail moved from one side to the other. Shortly before she reached me, she looked at Hazel, who seemed to be a bit angry at this point.\n“Hazel, darling, would you please help me with Balto’s clothes?”\nThe girl didn’t even give an answer. While Nikki helped me out of my shirt, Hazel quickly came to us, kneeled in front of me and opened my shorts, which she then pulled down in a haste, together with my boxer pants. I felt my cock slapped in her face during that, what made Kirara laugh. Nikki then directed me over to the mattress, where she asked me to make myself comfortable. Hazel was growling. The sour looks on her face made me and Nikki giggle. My girl then walked back to her, gently placed her hand above Hazel’s muzzle, and looked her in the eyes.\n“You want my boyfriend’s dick? You want to lick and suck it?”\nHazel could just nod, and Nikki commanded her:\n“Ok. First, get naked.”\nThat wasn’t a hard task for the girl, since she was only wearing a shirt. Nikki then took her carefully, but with determination, by the neck and led her over to me. \nShe whispered something in her ear that I couldn't understand and made her kneel. But carefully, since Nikki didn’t want to hurt the horny girl.\nShe then pushed hazel’s head close to my crotch.\n“Lick his balls.”\nHazel did that with such a passion, that this alone made me almost cum. Nikki saw that, which is why she stopped Hazel.\n“Enough foreplay. Doggy will soon explode, sweetie. Take his cock deep in your mouth and suck it dry.”\nHazel swallowed my member with a pleasureful moan, like she had just waited for that to happen again. She moved her head back and forth in such a haste, that it almost hurt. I could hear how she played with her dripping wet pussy while she sucked my cock under Nikki’s and Kirara’s eyes. I came closer and closer. As I felt my seed searching for its way out, I placed my hands on Hazel’s head and shot all my cum in several spurts into her throat and on her face. That was because she had moved her head back after she swallowed the first wave of my warm juice.\nEven Nikki seemed to be impressed by the amount of sperm.\n“Wow, I didn’t know you were that pant up, Balto. Happy now, Hazel?”\nThe cum-covered girl was sitting there with a goofy grin on her face.\n“Yes. But I still want him to hump me later.”\nNikki crossed her arms.\n“Only if you are a good girl. Now you should go and wash your face, Balto came all over you.”\n\nShe looked then at the mess I made on the mattress.\n“Damn it, doggy. I hope Johana isn’t mad, if he sees that.”\nAt that moment, our Artist entered, and knew exactly what happened.\n“Don’t worry. We can wash the stuff later. As I see, you prepared for the picture, Nikki. You look just, wow.”\nJohana’s eyes became as big as soccer balls, while he looked at Nikki’s naked body. He stared at her for at least a minute, until he shook his head and walked over to his chair, where Kirara waited for him. She reached him a pencil, while Nikki and I went into position for the picture. I was laying on the cushions again, Nikki gave me the leash, then she went on all fours. She then placed her hand on my still swollen sheath and looked up at me.\nJohana, while watching us, shouted: \n“Stay like that! I need to make the sketch, so please try not to move. Kirara, please take a few photos of them. I need them for the coloring later because I don’t think we can finish it today.”\n\nPainful hours of not moving followed. Well, I could at least relax in these cushions, but Nikki had to spend all the time kneeling. She later joked that she didn’t spend so much time on her knees since a party with Trish during her High School years. I didn’t ask her further about it. It somehow saddens me to hear about the other guys who were allowed to have sex with my girl in the past. \nWhile Johana was drawing, Hazel and Kirara watched us closely. Hazel was still naked, and still seemed to be horny. I know this from Nikki, she also shows that behavior from time to time. I think in nature, you would say that she is in heat. Kirara was wearing a tight shirt and some cute panties. I swear I could see her hardened nipples underneath that shirt.\n\nAfter about 3 hours, of course with breaks, Johana was done with the part of the drawing he needed us for. Nikki stretched, and I had a wonderful view of her. My girl noticed how I looked at her. She posed for me, while Johana showed the drawing to Kirara. \nNikki wanted to tease me, as she turned her back to me and bent over. I had a clear view of her tasty, slightly wet vagina. This view, combined with the tempting scent of my cheetah, made me hard in no time. I licked my lips and wanted to move forward to have a taste, but Nikki stopped me with a sign of her hand. She waved at Hazel, who wagged her tail, as she came closer.\nLike before, Nikki whispered something into her ear what I couldn’t understand. But whatever it was, it made Hazel go down on all fours. The young canine lifted her butt and her tail, presenting her wet sex to me.\nThis situation made me somehow nervous, until I looked over at Johana. To my surprise, Kirara was busy with sucking the impressive cock of Hazel’s brother.\nNikki gave Hazel a slap on her exposed butt, which made the girl gasping, before she made a step towards me.\n“Come on, Balto. It isn’t nice to let a girl wait. Especially if she is wet like young Hazel here.”\nI gulped, as I stood up. With my stiff member bouncing up and down, I made the two or three steps towards Hazel, who raised her butt. She must have really wanted me to mate with her. I went into position, and just as I was about to sink the tip of my cock into Haze’s pussy, Nikki stopped me.\n“Wait, Balto. We forgot the condom. We don’t want to risk getting that kind of souvenir in a few months. Gladly, I always have one with me.”\nJohana laughed because of what Nikki just said.\n“Don’t worry, Hazel is on the pill.”\nNikki smiled, but still brought me the condom, and placed it on my manhood. \n“We don’t want to risk anything. Besides that, I am the only girl doggy here is allowed to fuck bare. Now go ahead.”\nMy girl watched closely, as my member slowly disappeared inside Hazel’s tight, wet vagina. The girl moaned happily, I felt how her vulva tightened around my dick.\nI had to pause a moment, after it was fully inside Hazel.\n“She is so tight.”\nNikki and Johana laughed. Kirara, well, she had her mouth full. Nikki took my head into her hands and looked deep in my eyes. \n“Fuck her, don’t hold back. She wants it badly.”\nI grabbed Hazel by her hips, moved back, and as my cock was almost completely out, I slammed it hard back inside. Hazel screamed in lust and pressed herself against me. Nikki sat down on the cushions to watch us, while she rubbed her wet cunt. I moved out and back in a few more times, until I changed to a steadier speed. The sounds that Hazel made showed clearly how she enjoyed the situation. Slowly I increased the speed of my humps. A quick glance over to Johana let me witness how he was humping Kirara from behind. But other than me and his sister, he fucked his girl while standing behind her. By the expression on the girl’s face, he must have been balls deep inside her. \n\nMy knot began to swell after about 10 minutes of lustful humping. With every thrust, it pressed against Hazel’s dripping wet hole. The young canine whimpered and moaned when I increased my speed once more. Again, and again my knot pressed against the tight entrance, I felt how Hazel pressed herself against me in the rhythm of my thrusts. I looked at Nikki, just to see how my girl fingering herself with one hand, while the other one massaged her breasts. Instincts now took over my body, I wanted to hang with Hazel. My hands kept the girl in position, a last time I pulled out, just to push my member’s full size hard back into this young, cock-hungry girl. My knot slipped in while Hazel screamed in pleasure. Her whole body began to shake, her panting increased, as she enjoyed her orgasm. This was my sign to give everything I had left. I humped the whimpering girl, even pressed her to the floor now. A few more thrusts later, I shot my warm seed into this tight pussy, or better said, into the condom. I would have loved to cum into Hazel herself, but Nikki was right. Better safe, than sorry.\n\nI was exhausted. As far as it was possible, I laid down on Hazel’s back. Minutes later, Kirara came over to us. She was standing right above us, and I could see her vagina dripping. But not from her juices, if you know what I mean. Nikki also walked closer.\n“Looks like these two have worn themselves out.”\n\nNikki patted my head.\n“Good boy, Balto.”\nKirara chuckled.\n“Nikki, why didn’t you join them? You just watched us all having sex.”\nNikki was a bit embarrassed by this question.\n“Well, not that I wouldn’t have liked it, but Balto is the only minor I have sex with. And him using his skills on Hazel was a nice thing to watch. Besides that, you and Johana seemed to have a lot of fun together, too.”\nThe Doberman Pinscher girl smiled while she looked at Nikki, who was still wearing the harness at this moment.\n“We sure had. And Nikki, you look wonderful. I love your breasts. And these hips, oh I could kill for hips like that. The drawing sure will turn out great, if it is finished.”\n\nWhile the girls talked, I tried to pull my cock out. 15 minutes after my climax, the knot was finally small enough to pass the entry of Hazel’s still wet pussy. Hazel remained laying on the floor, as I carefully pulled my member out. The condom was filled with a good amount of cum, and almost slipped down. Nikki lent me a helping hand, taking that thing off me.\n“I guess we need bigger condoms in the future. I will go wash it out, how about some dinner then?”\nMeanwhile, Hazel had tun herself on her back. She had a satisfied grin on her face after she saw the filled condom. \nFor my part, I had to go to the bathroom after this. Nikki and I went to the one close to Johana’s room, where Nikki washed out the condom and took off the harness, collar, and the cuffs. I was just about to empty my bladder when she stopped me. \n\n“Wait, my little prince.”\nShe dragged me into the shower cabin, kneeled and looked up at me.\n“Come one, you know what I want from you, Fluffy. Quick, before anyone comes in.”\nWell, how could I resist such an offer? I stepped into position, pulled my sheath back a bit, pointed the tip of my cock at Nikki and marked her. The cheetah even opened her mouth and swallowed some of my urine. I wish you could have seen her in that situation. All wet, needy, sitting in the shower like the naughty little bitch she sometimes is.\nAfter this golden shower, I helped her to get clean before we rejoined the others. Back in Johana’s room, we saw something we wouldn’t have expected. Kirara was sitting on the edge of the big bed, her legs spread, with Hazel licking her out enthusiastically. As Hazel turned her head to us, we could see her wet muzzle, which was covered in sperm and vaginal fluids alike. She is really a naughty girl. Nikki, while watching the scene, spoke silently:\n“That also reminds me of my games with Trish, when we were younger.”\n\nMy mind drifted away in thoughts. Nikki and Trish must have been the hit at every party. Imagining them playing with each other aroused me. Nikki walked over to the bed with me, so we could join Johana, who sat there and watched his sister cleaning Kirara’s pussy. This went on until Kirara reached a nice climax, which made her scream.\nAfter the girls were done, we helped to clean the room. As you can imagine, it was messy after all that. \nJohana and Hazel later prepared a tasteful Spaghetti dinner for all of us. It was done shortly before Holly and Rory came back home. During dinner, they told us about their trip. This water park sounded like a fun place to be.\nFor the remainder of the day we talked, watched music videos, Holly showed us some more tricks for a better performance, and Nikki reserved our seats for the flight on the next day.\nIt was midnight again, as my girl and I went upstairs to our room. I only wrote a note to my mother that day, telling her that everything was fine.\nBefore we went to bed, we packed our stuff together, so we didn’t have to do that in the morning. During that, I saw Little Balto, who was still inside his transport box. I have totally forgotten him during the week. At 1 am, Nikki and I finally went to bed.\n \nPart 4: The Journey back home\n\n\nOur day began early in the morning. We stood up, got dressed and joined Holly in the kitchen downstairs. She welcomed us with a smile.\n“Good morning, you two. You are up early. Usually, I am alone with Rory until 9. Sit down, have some food. Nikki, do you want a coffee?”\nNikki answered happily:\n“Yes, please.”\nHolly then looked at me.\n“And cocoa for you, Balto?”\nI wagged my tail.\n“Yes, please. Can I have marshmallows in it?”\nHolly smiled, while she took the package out of the cupboard.\n“Sure, sweetie.”\nNikki and I sat down at the table, where Rory was eating some fruit compote.\nHolly joined us shortly after, with a cup of coffee for Nikki and my cocoa in her hands. She sat down next to her youngest son, before she began a little conversation.\n\n“Well, so tell me. How was your week at our home? Did you enjoy your stay here?”\nNikki spoke up, since I had my mouth filled with marshmallows.\n“It was amazing, Holly. Johana and Hazel were so kind to us, and you helped us so much. The tips you gave us, the time in this restaurant, I will never forget that.”\nI added, after I swallowed this sticky piece of sugar:\n“And you were much nicer than Severa Abbas! I thought that famous people are all arrogant and self-centered, but you are cool.”\nHolly laughed loud.\n“Thanks, Balto. I am just like every other mother who works to feed her family.” \nShe looked at Nikki and me with a smile. Before she continued,\n“I see great things coming for both of you. Oh, yes. I talked to my agent before, and we most likely will have a little charity concert in Darwin’s Hope in December. I would be happy to see you there, and maybe the rest of your group. And in case you don’t know, the video from the restaurant got many likes and positive comments on my social media accounts. Believe me if I say that you should record and post things like that yourself. I heard that you played in New York, has anyone recorded that? I couldn’t find anything on Pawtube or YouTube.” \nNikki and I had to think for a moment, then We both shook our heads, and Nikki answered:\n“No, at least not in a good enough quality. Maybe the theater recorded something, I will ask the director of my college.”\nHolly sighed and cleaned Rory. The little guy had eaten his breakfast with his whole face.\n“Do that. And in the future, be sure to record stuff like that with a good camera. I always liked musicals and theater. Hey, perhaps I can watch one of your shows in the future.”\nThis last sentence made Nikki smile.\n“That would be an honor for us, Holly. Our next play will be Mamma Mia, this musical from ABBA.”\nThat made Holly turn her head back to Nikki.\n“Mamma Mia? Not really my musical style, but it sounds fun. If you know a date for the performance, call me.”\nNikki nodded.\n“We sure will. I bet that our parents would like to meet you too. You could stay at our homes, we have plenty of space, and even a cabin at Spaulding Lake.”\nHolly helped Rory off the chair, and the little guy ran into the living room. Guess he wanted to watch cartoons.\nHolly seemed surprised about Nikki’s invitation.\n“That is a very generous offer. I will keep it in mind, Nikki. At least for the kids. For them, it would be much nicer to sleep in a home instead of a hotel.”\nAt that moment, my phone rang. It was mommy calling me on a video call. Of course, I took the call. I waved exited at my smiling mother.\n“Hey mommy! Good morning! We are just having breakfast. Wait, I just will go outside.”\nIt was Holly, who stopped me.\n“Wait, Balto, stay. I would like to say hi to your mom.”\nShe came around the table to sit next to me. I placed my phone on the table, so we all could talk to my now surprised mother.\nHolly waved her hand at the screen, which my mom returned.\n“Hello Mrs. Star! I am Hazel’s and Johana’s mother. I am pleased to meet you.”\nMy mom still seemed a bit irritated.\n“Hello, Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter. I hope that Balto and Nicole didn’t cause any problems during their stay at your home.”\nHolly rubbed my back, what made me smile.\n“Not at all. It was a pleasure having them here. Balto is such a well-behaved boy, I can only congratulate you on how you raised him. And Nikki impressed me with her fantastic voice. We only have to teach our parrot Marley to be more careful around felines.”\nI did my best not to laugh out loud after this reference to Nikki's meeting with Marley at the beginning of our vacation.  \nMommy also giggled a bit, while Nikki hid her face and mumbled something I couldn't understand.\n“Thank you, that is so nice to hear. And I hope your parrot will recover from that shock.”\nHolly took a sip of the coffee she had,\n“It is my pleasure, Mrs. Star. And don’t worry about Marley, I don’t think he even knows that he was close to becoming dinner. During the week we visited our town here, and I went with Balto and Nikki to a restaurant, which has a stage for concerts and events. \nWe sang together, it was so much fun. This was also recorded, and I uploaded it to my social media accounts. The viewers loved the performance. You can be proud of your son, Mrs. Star.”\nMom looked somehow worried, but then said,\n“Well, as long as Balto and Nicole don't suffer any negative consequences because of it, it's okay.”\n\nHolly agreed to this, and after a few more sentences, we ended the call.\nHazel, Johana, and Kirara joined us shortly after, and we all finished our breakfast together. For the remaining time, we sat together, talked, and laughed. Among other things, Nikki told stories about our two journeys to New York.\nOur time for leaving came too fast, and we had to say goodbye to this place. Kirara stayed with Rory again, while Johana and Hazel joined our trip to the airport. Holly, Johana, and Hazel accompanied us inside the airport, where we said goodbye to our dear friends. After a last group photo, it was time to go. On our way to the gate, we passed a few restaurants. But this time I decided to skip eating before the flight altogether, which is why I didn't eat anything at breakfast either. \nAs it was time to board our plane, Nikki and I were again able to get inside as one of the first passengers. \nThere was nothing during the flight worth mentioning. I didn’t need the barf bag again, but in exchange for that, I was hungry like, let me say, like a wolf, when we landed in Buffalo.\nMom was waiting for us in the arrival hall. She gave Nikki and me a happy hug, then we walked to our car and drove to Niagara Falls. I really like living here, we have so many beautiful landmarks in our state. During the drive, I wrote Hazel and Johana a message, that we arrived well and what we will do during the rest of the weekend. Right after our arrival in Niagara Falls, we visited the Goodfellas Pizzeria. And damn, this place has good pizza!\nWe had two big ones, plus some onion rings and a few Buffalo Wings. I can only recommend this place to everyone who comes here. \nAfter dinner, we drove to the Niagara Falls Visitor Center. We made a long walk, during which we talked about our vacation. Mom was especially interested to hear about the University in Ann Arbor. I don’t know why, since I really want to attend Stark College after High School. \nMy favorite part of the vacation was, without any doubt, our visit to this restaurant, where we sang together with Holly. My second favorite was the drawing session with Johana.\nThe worst thing, well, that was the dream I had. The one in which I met my dad. \n\nWe stayed at the Falls for a long time. At night, we watched the fireworks and the light show. A cold wind came up, as we three were standing on the iron railing above the waterfalls. Even I was freezing a bit. Not to mention Nikki, who was only wearing shorts and a belly free top. It was pretty warm until that point, so we didn’t bring our hoodies. We decided to walk back to our car at the visitor center, to pick up warmer clothes. We remained at the falls for another hour afterward, before we drove to our motel, the “Scottish Inns”. Nothing special, but it was very clean, and the beds were nice. Sadly, Nikki and I couldn’t have fun together, since we shared the room with my mother.\n\nOn Sunday, we crossed the border to Canada for a little sightseeing tour. I was so impressed by the look of two Mounties wearing their classical red uniforms and those eye-catching hats. I wonder if those would it to Nikki and me. What do you say? Write it in the comments!\n\nAnd with these lines, I want to finally end this entry. Thank you for reading, \n\nStay safe and healthy, my friends.\nUntil next Time!\nYours,\nNikki and Balto\n\n\n",

Friends and Idols</div></strong></span><br /><br />Darkness falls, as the furred crusader lets his gaze wander over the city he has sworn to protect. No evil can crawl out of the shadows without him hearing it.<br />Oh, sorry. I went through some of my dad&rsquo;s old comics, and as it seems, he was a huge fan of Batman. For myself, I am more a Marvel Fan, but Batman is also cool. <br />Let me start again.<br /><br />Hey there folks, we hope you are all feeling well. Several months have passed since the Howling Musketeers went to New York to perform in a competition organized by the Minskoff Theater. Since that day, we had many rehearsals, some minor gigs and, what was the biggest thing lately, we were invited to perform a skit at our local theater. Well, it was just me, to be honest. They played William Shakespeare&rsquo;s &ldquo;A Midsummer Night&#039;s Dream&rdquo;. I was asked to perform as Puck in the last scene, to recite the final poem. Those are also the final words of the whole play, but I think I don&rsquo;t need to tell you that again. It was a fun thing to do, and meeting some professional actors was a fantastic experience for both Nikki and me. The entire thing was organized by the principal of Nikki&rsquo;s college. My girl thinks the thought behind this was to promote the college&rsquo;s theatrical program, and maybe to get more sponsors. It appears that everything these days is just around money.<br />As I said before, the past few weeks were full of learning and exercising. The school year, which was also my last year in middle school, ended on the 24th of June. Next year, I will be officially a High School student. That will be so cool. I spoke to my mother about taking on a small job in the summer, as Nikki&#039;s father offered me a job in his small carpenter business. Some of you might remember that I worked with him in the past. Mr. Kofi showed me how to work with wood, and he even allowed me to use his power tools when we built up furniture for the cabin at Spaulding Lake, where Nikki and I now spend most of our weekends.<br />&nbsp;<br />As we wrote in our last entry, I have made a new friend by the name of Antu Strife. He is really a cool boy, and quickly became a good friend to Mikey and me. Perhaps, he is even more than just a friend to Mikey. The two spend a lot of time together in school, and they visit each other quite often. Mr. Kofi frequently meets with Mr. Strife, Antu&rsquo;s father. The two know each other from their time in the Army. Antu&rsquo;s father also sometimes helps us to build stuff. On one of these occasions, Mr. Strife told me a few things about Antu&rsquo;s past, and how he as a human became the father of an Anthro. A sad story, I can tell you that much.<br /><br />What we want to tell you about today began a long time ago. Almost two years ago, to be exact. Some of you might remember the rock concert Nikki and I visited back in October 2020. It was my first, and so far, the only concert I visited. One of the singers there was a woman named Holly Rhoads-Hunter, who is a big star in the anthropomorphic community and one of Nikki&rsquo;s biggest idols. Even humans seem to like her music.<br /><br />After the concert, I wrote about the day in my journal. Holly&rsquo;s daughter Hazel, who we had met at the concert, found this specific entry, and contacted me after reading it. Since that day, we have been writing to each other regularly on Pawtalk, and became good friends. It didn&rsquo;t take Hazel long before she told me that her mother is none other than Holly Rhoads-Hunter. Nikki freaked out when she heard that.<br /><br />Ok, so much for the background. Now let us start with the main story. For this, we have to go back to the weekend of June 18-19.<br /><br />Part 1: Invitation<br /><br /><br />It was one of these lazy weekends, which we spent at Lake Spaulding. I woke up first on this rainy Saturday morning. I decided to make myself some cocoa and go online, as Nikki was still asleep. It didn&rsquo;t take long until a message from Hazel popped up:<br /><br />Hazel: Hey, Balto. How are you?<br />Balto: Morning, Hazel. I am fine. What about you?<br />Hazel: I feel great! Balto, I&#039;m writing to you because I wanted to ask you something. Do you remember we talked about you and Nikki coming to visit us? I spoke to my parents, and they said yes. Mom would be home the week of July 4-9. So, if you two want to visit, that would be the perfect time for it.<br />Although we&rsquo;ve been talking about a visit for months, this came as a bit of a surprise for me.<br />Balto: That is cool, Hazel. But I need to ask my mom if she allows it. And Nikki, if she has time. I will tell you later, ok? We are currently at our house by the lake, and Nikki is still sleeping.<br />Hazel always loves it to hear about our retreat at Spaulding Lake, and well, our activities here. She is usually not very subtle in her questions.<br />Hazel: Did you two have sex lately? I heard Johana and Kirara last night, but I wasn&rsquo;t allowed to join them. That was so unfair.<br />Balto: Yeah, we had sex yesterday. <br />I am sorry you couldn&rsquo;t have fun with them.<br />Hazel: How was it? Please, tell me.<br />Balto: Hazel, please, that is embarrassing. Can we talk about something else? Do you think your mom could give us some tips for better acting?<br />Hazel: Oh, sure. Sorry, Balto. I am just so horny lately. I haven&#039;t had sex for weeks. And as you know, I love to see and hear about you and Nikki having sex.<br />Balto: Hazel, please.<br />At that moment, I heard that Nikki was going in the bathroom.<br />Balto: Nikki is up, I will talk to her about the visit. See you later, Hazel.<br /><br />I closed the chat to join Nikki in the bathroom. No, not what you might think now. Sure, Nikki is often horny in the morning, but not that day. She was taking a shower, as I entered to brush my teeth. While the sweet scent of Nikki&rsquo;s strawberry shampoo filled the room, I told her about my talk with Hazel:<br />&ldquo;Nikki, I was writing with Hazel before. She invited us to visit her in July. She said that her mom will be home, and that she could give us tips on acting and singing.&rdquo;<br /><br />Nikki didn&rsquo;t respond, I just heard a few fast steps behind me. Then my girl suddenly hugged me from behind and pressed me against her wet fur, while she happily shouted:<br />&ldquo;Wohoo! That is awesome, Fluffy! When can we visit them? Have you already asked your mom?&rdquo;<br />Her grip was so tight that I had difficulty breathing. Therefore, I could only utter my next words quietly: <br />&ldquo;Nikki, please. Not so tight.&rdquo; <br />My cheetah loosened her embrace a little and apologized.<br />&ldquo;Sorry, doggy. I am just so excited. We are allowed to visit one of my favorite rock stars, one of my idols. Tell me, when exactly can we go?&rdquo;<br />After she calmed down a bit, I told Nikki about what Hazel said to me before. And since I was wet anyway after her hugging attack, we took a shower together.<br /><br />Afterward, we made a long walk around the lake, went to a nearby restaurant for dinner, and after we came back to the cabin in the early evening, I called my mom in a video call:<br />&ldquo;Hey mom, how are you?&rdquo;<br />Mom sounded a bit strange, it also looked like she wasn&rsquo;t at home.<br />&ldquo;Hello my son. I am fine. Just a little drunk. What can I do for you?&rdquo;<br />I became worried.<br />&ldquo;Mom, where are you? Is everything ok?&rdquo;<br />Mr. Kofi came in front of the screen.<br />&ldquo;Hey Balto, hello Nicole. We are in a club, don&rsquo;t worry. Your mother just had a drink too much.&rdquo;<br />Nikki giggled, but I was still worried. My mother never drank much alcohol. Well, as far as I know. She came back on screen.<br />&ldquo;I am sorry, Balto. We will better talk tomorrow. Give Nicole a kiss from me, ok?&rdquo;<br />She hung up. It went silent, while I looked at the dark screen. Nikki placed her hand on my shoulder. She asked me in her soft and gentle voice:<br />&ldquo;Balto, is everything ok? Your mom is just having some fun. My parents are with her, nothing can happen to her.&rdquo;<br />I only nodded, with my eyes still fixed on the black screen of my phone. Nikki asked again:<br />&ldquo;Balto, what is wrong?&rdquo;<br />I almost whispered when I answered Nikki.<br />&ldquo;Nothing. It is just, I have never seen my mom drunk before.&rdquo;<br />My girl took me into her arms. While she caressed my head, she said,<br />&ldquo;Balto, she just wants to have some fun. Don&rsquo;t worry about her. As I said, my parents are with her, they will keep a close eye on her.&rdquo;<br />Again, I nodded.<br />&ldquo;I know, Nikki. I know.&rdquo;<br />My cheetah tousled my hair.<br />&ldquo;Good doggy.&rdquo;<br /><br />Next, I showed Nikki my chat with Hazel. The sex-talk part made her laugh, especially that I was ashamed of talking about our sex life. At that moment, I wondered if she was talking much about it with her friends. But I didn&rsquo;t ask her about that topic. We spent the rest of the evening with talking about the visit, about Hazel, her brother Johana, and the special relationship those two have together. Another topic we discussed was Holly Rhoads-Hunter. As I have mentioned it before, Nikki is a big fan of her. My kitty let me listen to some of her songs, and then we did a video call with Hazel.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hi, Hazel.&rdquo;<br />The young canine girl seemed a bit distracted. And was moving suspiciously on her chair, and there was a strange, but familiar sound in the background.<br />&ldquo;Oh, hey Balto, so cool you called. Did you talk to Nikki about the visit?&rdquo;<br />Hazel&rsquo;s facial expressions were a bit out of control, but I tried to ignore that. Nikki, on the other hand, was quite amused by that. I answered Hazel&rsquo;s question:<br />&ldquo;Yes, I did. She is sitting right next to me.&rdquo;<br />Hazel then waved to Nikki.<br />&ldquo;Oh, hi Nikki! Cool to see you again!&rdquo;<br />Nikki replied with a smile:<br />&ldquo;Hello, Hazel. Balto told me that you offered us to visit you and your family. That would be amazing. But you haven&rsquo;t told Balto where you are living. And girl, can you switch off the vibrator you are using right now? Just for a minute.&rdquo;<br /><br /><br />Hazel was a bit embarrassed.<br />&ldquo;Oh, yeah, sorry. I am just so pent-up.&rdquo;<br />The buzzing sound stopped, and our friend continued:<br />&ldquo;Did I forget to tell you where we are? Sorry. We live in Ann Arbor, Michigan. That is about 40 miles west of Detroit.&rdquo;<br />Nikki smiled.<br />&ldquo;Michigan? Not that far away, but still a bit too far for me to drive there. Best is we take a flight.&rdquo;<br />I looked nervously at Nikki and asked:<br />&ldquo;A flight? In an airplane? Nikki, I was never inside a plane. Or out of this state, or even out of town without mom.&rdquo;<br />Nikki giggled while she patted my head gently.<br />&ldquo;Yes, Balto, in an airplane. I tried it once by flapping my arms quickly, but that didn&#039;t work out so well.&rdquo; <br />Nikki and Hazel laughed while I grumbled. I hate it if she makes fun of me like that. Nikki added, after she called down:<br />&ldquo;I had to stay in the hospital for a week after I jumped off that tree. Don&rsquo;t worry, doggy. You will travel with me, and you know that I will always watch over you. I do that since you were eight years old.&rdquo;<br />In an annoyed tone, I replied:<br />&ldquo;Nikki, I am not a little cub anymore. It is just that I never traveled without mom. The comic cons were the longest time I was away from home.&rdquo;<br />Nikki placed her hand on my shoulder.<br />&ldquo;Balto, the comic cons were almost as long as we would stay at Hazel&rsquo;s place. Besides, I am certain your mom would find good use for the free time. <br />Maybe she will have a few more threesomes with my parents.&rdquo;<br />The leering feline giggled and laughed as I tried to hide my face in shame. Of course, Hazel agreed with Nikki: <br />&ldquo;Good one, Nikki! She is right, Balto. Don&rsquo;t worry so much about your mom.&rdquo;<br />I almost begged them:<br />&ldquo;Can we change the topic? Please?&rdquo;<br />My girl now pressed me against her chest.<br />&ldquo;Sorry, Hazel. Talking about sex is still a bit awkward for Balto sometimes. Even though he can be a pretty dirty doggy himself.&rdquo;<br />I growled, while my girl was still holding me tight to her. Hazel seemed to be amused.<br />&ldquo;Aww, his growl is so cute.&rdquo;<br />Luckily, my girl had mercy with me.<br />&ldquo;Yeah, but as much as I enjoy teasing him from time to time, let us change the topic. Since we can&rsquo;t take the car, and I don&rsquo;t like it to travel by train or bus, we would have to take the plane. Hazel, do you know the closest airport?&rdquo;<br />Hazel seemed to check something on her phone. It took her a minute, then she said:<br />&ldquo;Dad says that is the Detroit Metropolitan International Airport, he could also pick you two up there. It would be just a 30-minute drive.&rdquo;<br />I threw in:<br />&ldquo;I should talk about this with my mom first. I am not sure if she would even allow me to travel that far with Nikki alone.&rdquo;<br />This time, Nikki was in my side.<br />&ldquo;Balto is right. We should talk to with Christa, before we go further with our planning. We will write to you tomorrow evening.&rdquo;<br />Hazel seemed disappointed.<br />&ldquo;Ok, I understand. Oh, Johana wanted me to say hello to you from him.&rdquo;<br /><br />Nikki happily answered:<br />&ldquo;Say hi back to him for us, ok? I can&#039;t wait to meet him.&rdquo;<br /><br />After we finished the call, Nikki and I went to the bedroom, undressed, and made ourselves comfortable in the wooden king-size bed.<br />My gaze wandered to the ceiling, my thoughts circled Hazel and our visit, as my girl and I lay side by side on the mattress. Of course, Nikki noticed that. Her calm voice pulled me out of my thoughts.<br />&ldquo;Balto, where are you with your thoughts?&rdquo;<br />I sighed, before I turned my head to my girl.<br />&ldquo;Nikki, you still often treat me a like a little puppy. But I am not a puppy anymore. I am almost fifteen.&rdquo;<br />Nikki sat up and leaned back against the headboard of the bed. She took a deep breath, before she looked at me. Her hand gently stroking through my chest fur, as she silently said:<br />&ldquo;Balto, maybe it&#039;s because every now and then, I still see the little boy in you that I babysat for so long. I am sorry.&rdquo;<br />Silence fell on the room. I needed a few minutes, until I figured out what to say.<br />&ldquo;Can you tell me why you chose me as your boyfriend? I mean, every time I am at your college for the rehearsals, the other boys look and laugh at me. I hear their comments, I can see how they look at us when we walk past them hand in hand.&rdquo;<br />She interrupted me, while she looked at me with her big purple eyes.<br />&ldquo;Balto, are you having one of your overly thoughtful moments again? Listen. I love you. You are a kind, smart boy. I love it how you care for those who are close to you. I love that you are a thinker. You are so different from the most boys I know, but in a good way. <br />Our relationship is now lasting for two years already. And I don&rsquo;t want to miss a single moment of it. Please believe me when I say that no other man will ever get as close to me as you do, especially mentally. I am aware that many people are looking at us at the campus. Did you really think I didn&#039;t notice them? Balto, take these looks as a compliment.&rdquo;<br />She smiled at me and snuggled up, before she continued:<br />&ldquo;Now tell me, Balto. What are you really thinking of? Is it your mom? Is it that she might have sex tonight? Or are you afraid of going on vacation without her?&rdquo;<br />Again, it took me some time to find an answer. <br />&ldquo;It is the trip. What if mommy needs me? What if I do something wrong there? Or if we need to get home? Is a flight safe? How will the humans at the airport react to us?&rdquo;<br />Nikki smiled and gave me a kiss. A warm smile followed, which gave me comfort.<br />&ldquo;Balto, we will talk to our parents tomorrow. If you don&rsquo;t want to visit Hazel and Johana, please tell me. And flights are safe. It is, in fact, the safest way to travel. We also won&rsquo;t be the first Anthros on a plane, and if we need to go home earlier, we will simply take an earlier flight home. And what could you possibly do wrong? Well, besides being a little Mr. Smartypants again and annoying people with useless facts.&rdquo;<br />My cheetah laughed loudly, while I looked grumpy at her.<br />&ldquo;Hazel&rsquo;s mom is a rock star. She is famous. I bet she&#039;s snobby. And stuck-up.&rdquo;<br />Nikki held my muzzle shut with one hand, and her tone became harsher.<br />&ldquo;Balto Star, I think your mother told you not to judge people without knowing them. I met her at the concert we visited together. She is a nice person. Just like Hazel and Johana.&rdquo;<br />I whimpered, since Nikki held my muzzle in a tight grip. As Nikki heard these sounds, she let go. Now I was able to answer her statement:<br />&ldquo;Sorry. It is just, in the news they say that the stars and the rich people are different from us. That they live in a different world, with money, and parties, alcohol, and drugs.&rdquo;<br /><br /><br /><br />Nikki sighed.<br />&ldquo;Balto, you watch far too much TV. Not every celebrity is like that. I bet that Holly Rhoads-Hunter is a loving and carrying mother, just like yours. They invited us into their home, and I really want to take advantage of this opportunity. Think of what we could learn from an experienced performer. So please, if you don&rsquo;t want to go there, tell me, and don&rsquo;t try to find an excuse. Be honest with me, and I promise that I won&#039;t be mad at you.&rdquo;<br /><br />My girl looked at me with a pleading gaze in her beautiful eyes. It was the kind of look that could melt even the hardest stone. I told her that I would love to visit Hazel and her brother. Besides that, the opportunity to visit a celebrity in his home would be an amazing story to tell. We decided to continue this talk the next day together with our parents. Since it was quite late at that point, we ended the conversation, and turned off the lights.<br /><br />That night, I dreamed about the streets of a town far in the north. It was a dark night, as I wandered naked through the snow-covered alleys. Then I saw him. A gray, feral canine, who searched for food in the trash. He must have heard my steps, since he lifted his head and looked at me with his bright yellow eyes. The dog grinned at me, as he came closer. I took a few steps back, but I tripped over something under the snow and landed hard on my butt. While on all fours, I tried to escape the fast-approaching canine. But he was faster and pinned me down. I tried to scream, but couldn&rsquo;t make a single sound. I wanted to resist him, but my body didn&rsquo;t follow my commands anymore. Like I would be remote controlled by someone or something, I raised my butt and tail, offering myself to this dog. He moved backwards. My body shivered, as I only waited for him to jump on my back. To my surprise, I suddenly felt his tongue on my paws. He licked them enthusiastically, pressed his muzzles as deep as possible between my paw-pads.<br />The picture faded, just as this strangely familiar looking canine wanted to mount me.<br />Slowly, I opened my eyes, just to feel something wet and warm on my paws.<br /><br />I looked next to me, just to see that my girl wasn&rsquo;t there. I looked down the bed, where I saw Nikki&rsquo;s tail twitching from one side to the other. After I removed the blanket, Nikki smiled at me from her kneeling position. I felt how my girl licked on my left paw, what caused me to moan loudly. <br />It was such an amazing feeling, as Nikki gently spread my toes with her hands, so she could lick deep between the pads. Just like this dog in my dream. Gently, she sucked on my toes, one after the other.<br />&nbsp;<br />My right hand wandered between my legs, over my swollen sheath, down to my balls, and back up. I could hear Nikki purring, while she further licked my sensitive paws. She must have enjoyed this as much as I did. Meanwhile, my member grew out and was soon standing at his full size.<br />A mischievous grin appeared on her face, as she looked up at me with her warm tongue still teasing my paws. My level of lust raised, I wanted more. <br /><br />I moved a bit upwards, and Nikki followed. I could see her wonderful body in the morning light. Her look made me smile, and my girl smiled back. I spread my legs and opened my arms. Nikki took my invitation to come closer. Her nose touched mine, before I placed my arms around her neck, then we kissed each other. I opened my muzzle, an opportunity that Nikki used to stick her tongue deep into my mouth. We both moaned loudly into this sensual kiss. I wish this moment had lasted forever. But Nikki suddenly stopped. She sat up, so I had a pleasant view of her slender hips and her stunning breasts. I reached for them with both hands, felt their firmness, as I squeezed them. They seemed to have grown a bit over the past few months. Sometimes I can&rsquo;t believe that this girl is here, with me. It still often seems like a dream. <br /><br /><br />Nikki looked at me and tilted her head, as she noticed how I looked at her.<br />&ldquo;Balto, is everything ok? I know that look in your eyes.&rdquo;<br />Gently, she touched my cheek.<br />&ldquo;You are not dreaming. But I can give you more stuff to dream about.&rdquo;<br /><br />Nikki rubbed her butt on my still stiff member, while she looked at me with a lustful expression in her eyes. She lifted herself up a bit, grabbed my dick and placed its tip under her dripping wet sex.<br />My breathing became faster. Nikki slowly lowered herself down. Inch by inch, my member slipped inside her tight and warm pleasure grotto. Even after two years, this feels like heaven. After my member stuck balls deep inside her, Nikki stopped for a second. The feline placed her hands on my chest, lifted herself up, until my cock nearly slipped out of her vagina. She grinned, and accompanied by a loud groan, she let herself fall back down. As soon as my member was fully back inside her, she lifted herself up again, and back down. Her pace increased, and soon she was riding my cock like a jockey rides a horse. How Nikki circled her hips during that drove me crazy. My knot soon began to swell, what made Nikki moan even louder. The smacking sounds coming from her moist vagina aroused me even more, so I began to move my hips in Nikki&rsquo;s rhythm. My girl screamed in pleasure and lust. Soon, my knot grew too big, and I got stuck inside her, after she pressed herself down on it. Nikki began to shiver. She hissed and pressed her claws into my chest, as a powerful orgasm overwhelmed her body. Her vagina tightened even more, what pushed me over the edge. My whole body cramped, I screamed Nikki&rsquo;s name, as I shot my warm cum deep inside her.<br />I was panting hard, while my wild feline smiled down at me. She lifted her hands from my chest, noticing a little blood on her nails. <br />&ldquo;I am sorry, Balto. Are you ok? Why didn&rsquo;t you say something? That must have hurt.&rdquo;<br />My first answer was a smile, and as I finally caught my breath, I responded:<br />&ldquo;It is ok, I haven&rsquo;t felt much of it. It was just like after your &ldquo;Dance of the Vampires&rdquo; play. You remember? When you bit my neck?&rdquo;<br />Nikki nodded and smiled.<br />&ldquo;Yes, I remember that. Especially how afraid I was, after I noticed the blood on your neck. I thought your mom would kill me if she sees that. Thank God that she must have thought it was just theatrical blood. But now, let us enjoy this moment, before we get up. I promised dad to clean the house, before we drive home.&rdquo;<br /><br />It took about 20 minutes, until my knot was small enough again for Nikki to get it out of her vagina. A trail of cum followed my member, as she stood up. Nikki grinned, while she presented my work to me. Like a good boy, I licked her clean, while Nikki did the same with my cock. <br />Later, we cleaned the house, the garden, and Nikki&rsquo;s car. In the evening, we left the house by the lake. I always feel a little sad whenever we have to leave this place. During the past few months, it became a second home for us. But let us move on, we still have a lot to talk about.<br /><br />Hazel and I chatted a bit on the way home, she told me a bit about her hometown, her father&rsquo;s job, about her two brothers, and what we could do at their home during our possible visit.<br />Due to their mother is a well-known celebrity, they cannot simply leave their home. But they live in a large house that is surrounded by many acres of land, so that shouldn&rsquo;t be such a big problem.<br />Hazel sent me a few photos of candy, which her father made. I showed them to Nikki, and even she licked her muzzle. Usually, she isn&rsquo;t that much into sweets.<br /><br />As Nikki and I arrived back at my home in the evening, I think it was about 6 p.m., we noticed that my mother wasn&rsquo;t there. Because of that, we walked over to Nikki&rsquo;s home. <br />In there, we found our parents, naked and cuddled up close on the couch. Mr. Kofi was laying on his back, with mine and Nikki&rsquo;s mom in his arms. I could see black leather cuffs on my mother&#039;s wrists.<br />What I also saw was Mrs. Kofi&#039;s slender body. It had always escaped me until now how sexy Nikki&rsquo;s mom is. She has a small and firm butt, just like Nikki, and her paws have black, well-formed pads. <br />It is clear to see from who Nikki has her good looks. My girl giggled, as she noticed me staring at the scene in front of us. <br />She whispered into my ear:<br />&ldquo;We should do that again sometime, too. It has been a long time since our last threesome.&rdquo;<br />My response was a mad stare at Nikki, and she tousled my hair.<br />&ldquo;Oh, come on, doggy. I know how much you love it to have two girls taking care of you.&rdquo;<br />Now I looked even madder at her. But not because of her words. It was because she was right. I loved it having sex while Trish watched us, and how the raccoon licked me clean, after my member slipped out of Nikki&rsquo;s pussy. The images in my head made my shorts tight, if you know what I mean. Our parents were still asleep, as Nikki and I silently sneaked upstairs to Nikki&rsquo;s room.<br />I walked in first, closely followed by Nikki. She closed the door behind her. Then she came closer to me, hugged me from behind. Her hands wandered over my body, while I felt her breath on my right ear:<br />&ldquo;I noticed your boner, doggy. And how you looked at my mother down there.&rdquo;<br />She pulled my t-shirt over my head and threw it on the floor, then she pulled down my pants. Now I was standing there, only covered in my fur, with a hard boner between my legs. To my surprise, Nikki walked away from me. I looked after her, just to see that she took a collar with a leash attached to it out of a drawer. There was another thing in her hand, but I couldn&rsquo;t say what it was at that moment. She went back to me and put the collar on me. After she was done, the feline commanded me to go on all fours. Since I didn&rsquo;t react at first, she gave the request a boost with a pull on the leash.<br />&ldquo;Down now! Bad doggy. And don&rsquo;t dare to touch yourself.&rdquo;<br />After I went on all fours, Nikki led me to her queen-sized bed. Next, I had to sit on the floor in front of the bed. From there, I could watch Nikki taking off her clothes, everything besides her panties. My cheetah was standing close to me, the scent from her wet vagina drove me crazy. My nose came closer to the source of this heavenly smell, but Nikki stopped me.<br />&ldquo;You want to lick my pussy, little doggy?&rdquo;<br />I nodded and wanted to get closer to her, but Nikki held me back with the leash.<br />&ldquo;You are lucky to have me as your girlfriend. Other girls would be mad, if their boyfriend looked at their mother like you did it before. Now pull my panties down, but with your teeth. No hands allowed.&rdquo;<br />Gently, I took this small piece of fabric between my teeth and pulled it down, all the way to her ankles. As the panties were down far enough, Nikki stepped out of them. I raised my head and looked at Nikki, with her wet underwear still in my mouth. She laughed, as she saw me like that.<br />&ldquo;Good boy. Now bent over and lift your tail.&rdquo;<br />I wasn&rsquo;t so sure about what she had in mind for me, but I followed her command. I could hear the well-known sound of the lube bottle, shortly before Nikki placed some of this cold stuff on my sensitive butthole. A moment later, Nikki pressed something hard against my butt. <br />I was panting a bit, as that thing was fully inside me. But my girl wasn&rsquo;t done yet. I could see her taking a little remote. She pressed a button, which caused the thing inside me to start vibrating. I couldn&rsquo;t do more than moan. My erected member twitched. <br />Nikki sat down on the edge of the bed, spread her long legs, and presented herself to me. This beautiful view made me whimper, as I waited for her next command.<br /><br />This was so mean of her. Nikki lifted my head a bit with her hand, and I could see a big grin in her face. Then I felt a slight pull on the leash. <br />&ldquo;Eat me out. And don&rsquo;t stop until I allow you too. If you do well, I might allow you to fuck me.&rdquo;<br />I began to lick her wet lips enthusiastically. Her scent and taste robbed me of my senses. Nikki leaned back, that way I was able to lick deep inside my feline&rsquo;s vagina. She moaned, screamed of lust, as my tongue entered her wet vagina. <br />Suddenly, someone knocked at the door. The voice of Nikki&rsquo;s mother could be heard:<br />&ldquo;Nicole, are you in there?&rdquo;<br />Nikki silently moaned, while she tried to answer her mother:<br />&ldquo;Yes, mom. *Ahh* I am *ooh* here. Balto is *arrfff* here with me.&rdquo;<br />We heard Mrs. Kofi laughing.<br />&ldquo;Please come downstairs when you are done, ok? Have fun, kids.&rdquo;<br /><br />It may sound strange, but a part of me would have wished for Nikki&rsquo;s mom to come in and join us. Yeah, I know. A sick idea. <br />Nikki placed her hands on top of my head and pressed me closer against her. Her moans became louder, while my tongue played with her little pearl. This plug in my butt was still vibrating, Nikki even increased the strength of that thing. My only thought was to mount my cheetah. I wanted her so badly. Next, I could feel Nikki&rsquo;s claws on the back of my head. Her breathing became faster, her legs began to shake.<br />She was close, I knew that. I stuck my tongue as deep as possible into her honeypot, eager to get every drop of her tasty juice.<br />Nikki screamed in pleasure, as she reached her climax seconds later. The whole house must have heard that. Her entire body was seized by it, and it took several moments, until the slender cheetah fell on her back onto the bed. My tail wagged, while I listened to Nikki&rsquo;s heavenly breathing. My muzzle was completely covered in Nikki&rsquo;s fluids. It tasted so sweet, as I licked my muzzle clean. To my surprise, I heard Nikki giving me another command in an exhausted voice, after she finally turned off this plug:<br />&ldquo;Balto, take the plug out, and shove it into my ass. Now!&rdquo;<br /><br />Carefully, I took that thing out of my butt. It wasn&rsquo;t big, so it wasn&rsquo;t hard to do. Fortunately, it was clean, besides the lube on it. At that moment, I recognized that my member wasn&#039;t standing out of its sheath anymore. But I didn&rsquo;t care. Pleasing my girl was way more important to me. While I was crawling onto the bed, I could see how Nikki prepared her butt for it with some lube. I grabbed one of the pillows and placed into underneath Nikki&rsquo;s butt, so I became easier access to my girl&rsquo;s backdoor. Nikki spread her cheeks with both hands as I placed the thing on her rosette. Inch by inch, the plug disappeared inside my girl. I thought she might want to wear that plug for the rest of the evening, that we would go downstairs now, but she had other things in mind.<br />&ldquo;Good dog. Now take the lube and put it on your hand. Take a little more this time.&rdquo;<br />A strange command, but I did what I was ordered to do. Even if I didn&rsquo;t understand the reason at that point.<br />After I was done, my right hand was fully covered in this strawberry-flavored lube. My gaze wandered over Nikki&rsquo;s body, while I waited for the next command.<br />&ldquo;Look here, Balto!&rdquo;<br />She took a photo of me with her mobile. I looked a bit goofy, since I was surprised, what made her laugh.<br />&ldquo;Doggy, you really don&rsquo;t know what comes next? I want you to stick your hand inside my pussy. It is called fisting. Don&rsquo;t worry, I did that with Trish several times. Don&rsquo;t be afraid.&rdquo;<br />I was indeed afraid.<br />&ldquo;But Nikki, wouldn&rsquo;t that stretch you out down there? You know, since my hand is thicker than my penis.&rdquo;<br />Her legs were widely spread, I heard Nikki moan as she switched on the plug again with that little remote. Carefully, I touched her moist and swollen little pussy. <br /><br />My hand wandered over it, until Nikki repeated her command: <br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t worry, Balto. A girl&rsquo;s pussy made to be stretched far more during birth, your little hand won&rsquo;t cause any damage. Please. I want that now.&rdquo;<br />I remembered a video about birth, which we saw as part of the sex education lessons in school. You can believe me if I say that talking about birth during sex is the wrong kind of dirty talk. Birth is dirty, bloody, it looked like a horror movie. Like Aliens, just that the baby found a different way out of the woman&rsquo;s body. Damn, sorry for ruining the mood. Let us come back to my lusty feline, who was waiting for me to do my duties.<br />My fingers wandered down her slit, my heart was racing. Then I pushed my fingers into the dripping wet hole. First one, then two. After I moved them in and out a few times, I added a third, then my fourth finger. Nikki&rsquo;s moans became louder once more.<br />&ldquo;Go on, Balto, this is good.&rdquo;<br />At this point, curiosity took over. I tried to force my thumb inside as well, the resistance became bigger, since Nikki is still pretty tight down there. Her body moved from one side to the other, as I wiggled my fingers inside her, in addition to my attempts to force the rest of my hand into her vagina.<br />It took a few minutes, but then my hand was wrist deep inside Nikki&rsquo;s wet cave. She screamed in lust, as I began to lick her clit, while I carefully moved my hand inside her. The feeling was incredible. It didn&#039;t take long for Nikki&#039;s body to rear up, as she reached her second climax. I could feel her muscles contracting around my hand, and it took a minute, until I was able to pull it out. Nikki was exhausted and panted heavily. After I crawled up to her, I could see my girl&rsquo;s happily smiling face.<br />&ldquo;Thank you. This was amazing. Let us take a shower now. There is one last thing I want to do.&rdquo;<br />We went to the bathroom on the opposite side of Nikki&rsquo;s room, and into the big shower cabin. Nikki turned on the water, told me to kneel and to close my eyes. I could imagine what she had in mind, and a few seconds later, I felt how she marked me with her urine. At one point, I even stuck my tongue out, to have a taste. It wasn&rsquo;t that bad, but far away from my favorite drink. After she was done, Nikki lifted me up, and we shared a long kiss under the warm water. She helped me to get clean and pulled the plug out of her butt. Nikki cleaned it, then we got dressed and moved downstairs.<br />Our parents were sitting in the living room, wearing bathrobes, and watching the news. My mother turned her head towards us, after we sat down on the couch.<br />&ldquo;Oh, look who is finally joining us. Now tell us what you have done during the past few days at the lake.&rdquo;<br />Nikki chuckled, before she answered:<br />&ldquo;Well, we made long walks, watched TV, and relaxed. The cabin is so amazing.&rdquo;<br />Nikki&rsquo;s father stepped in:<br />&ldquo;That is nice to hear, Nicole. You and Balto spend a lot of time at the lake lately. Originally, I wanted to rent it to tourists. But I think you two are happier there. Just be aware that I need the house next weekend for a meeting with some of my friends from the army.&rdquo;<br />Nikki seemed to be a bit disappointed.<br />&ldquo;Damn, but can we have it on the first and second of July? We want to make a little BBQ with our friends from the theater group.&rdquo;<br />Mr. Kofi chuckled. <br />&ldquo;Sure. But please leave the house whole, okay?&rdquo;<br />Nikki placed her hand on my shoulder.<br />&ldquo;I promise, dad. And there is another thing we would like to talk about with all of you.&rdquo;<br />The adults looked at us, and my mother seemed to be a bit afraid:<br />&ldquo;Please don&rsquo;t tell us that you are pregnant, Nicole.&rdquo;<br />My cheetah burst out in laughter. After she calmed down, she answered:<br />&ldquo;No, Christa, don&rsquo;t worry. I am not pregnant. The thing is, Balto and I have friends in Michigan, and they invited us over for a week in July. We wanted to ask for your permission. <br />Since they are living in Ann Arbor, it would be the best to take a flight to Detroit Metropolitan International Airport to get there. Their mother is a professional singer and actress, so maybe Balto and I could use the time to learn something from her. Please, can we go?&rdquo;<br />My mom was the first to respond:<br />&ldquo;Let me summarize that briefly. You two want to go to Michigan, in an airplane, to visit a family you barely know. Nicole, I don&rsquo;t think that I am comfortable with that. Who is this singer anyway?&rdquo;<br />I cuddled close to Nikki, as she answered:<br />&ldquo;Her name is Holly Rhoads-Hunter. We are friends with her kids. Please, that is a chance you only get once. It would mean so much to us.&rdquo;<br />Nikki&rsquo;s mother spoke up, as she heard the name.<br />&ldquo;Holly Rhoads-Hunter? This rock star? Christa, I am aware that this isn&rsquo;t exactly your kind of music, but she is a big number in the music industry. That could really help our kids. I think we should let them go. It wouldn&rsquo;t be much different from them staying at the lake house. Just that they stay in a well-protected home with other people. And Michigan is not that far away. We can always drive there and get the kids home, in case that something goes wrong.&rdquo;<br />Mom looked at Mrs. Kofi.<br />&ldquo;Sure, Asha. But I know my son. He was never away from me for such a long time. What is if he gets homesick? Or when one of his allergies kick in? Or if he gets scared during the flight? Or if they are mean to him? You know how sensitive he is.&rdquo;<br />Mrs. Kofi took my mother&rsquo;s hand and looked her in the eyes.<br />&ldquo;Christa, who is more afraid now? Balto, or you? He must make his own experiences. Nicole will be with him all the time, so nothing bad will happen to him. And think of the stories he could tell. He would be instantly the coolest kid in school, if he tells the story about him visiting a rock star at home.&rdquo;<br />Mom sighed.<br />&ldquo;I guess that you are right again, Asha.&rdquo;<br />She turned her eyes over to me.<br />&ldquo;But you will call, or at least write me every day, and if anything is wrong, you tell me that. Did you understand? I also want the exact address and the phone numbers of those friends and their parents.&rdquo;<br />Then mom looked at Nikki with a stern look.<br />&ldquo;And you promise me to keep my son safe, Nicole.&rdquo;<br />Nikki stood up and gave my mom a hug.<br />&ldquo;Sure, I will watch over little Fluffy, and I promise to bring him back without a scratch. Thank you! This will be so cool!&rdquo;<br /><br />Little Fluffy. Will Nikki ever stop calling me names like that? I am not a cub anymore.<br />For the rest of the evening, we discussed the journey, Mr. Kofi booked the flights for us, and we sent Hazel a short note when we will arrive at their airport, so they can pick us up. Next, we looked at Ann Arbor in Google Earth. <br />That was the first time we saw how big the property of Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter really is. Later, we watched TV with our parents, and as it was about time to go home, Mrs. Kofi asked me to come with her for a moment. <br />We moved over to the kitchen, and there she nervously began an odd conversation. As mentioned before, she was only wearing a bathrobe. The fact she was naked underneath that thing somehow let my imagination go wild. Please don&rsquo;t judge me for that. <br /><br />While I was looking at the feline with big eyes, Mrs. Kofi said:<br />&ldquo;Balto, what I wanted to talk to you about is what I heard from Nicole&#039;s room earlier.&rdquo;<br />My ears dropped in shame.<br />&ldquo;I am sorry, I know we were too loud. I promise it will n&hellip;&rdquo;<br />She interrupted me.<br />&ldquo;No need to feel sorry, Balto. In fact, I am impressed. Tell me, what have you two done up there? Even Idrissa&rsquo;s ears became bigger, as he heard his daughter screaming like that.&rdquo;<br />I was feeling extremely uncomfortable in this situation. Talking about my sex life with the mother of my girlfriend really isn&rsquo;t my favorite thing to do. To make the situation even worse, her bathrobe opened a bit, while she was taking a water bottle out of the fridge. Nikki&rsquo;s mother has an amazingly sexy body. My attempt to cover my eyes seemed to amuse her. Gently she touched my cheek, before she continued the conversation:<br />&ldquo;Balto, I can understand that it may sound strange to you, that I am asking about your sex with Nicole. Call it the curiosity of a mother.&rdquo;<br /><br />I gulped. But since she was always supported Nikki and me, I felt that I can talk openly with her. Still a bit nervous, I tried to form an answer: <br />&ldquo;Well, Nikki showed me something new today. She called it fisting. It felt weird, but she liked it pretty much.&rdquo;<br />A slight grin appeared on the felines face.<br />&ldquo;So, Nicole is teaching you new tricks. As it seems, she is a good teacher. I didn&rsquo;t know my daughter was into things like fisting. Just be sure to always use enough lube, before you shove your hand inside her vagina. I remember how Idrissa and I tried it the first time. We were young, too hasty, and his hands were a bit too big. Believe me, I could have killed him for the pain I felt at that moment. It took a lot of training and the birth of Nicole, until he was able to do it.&rdquo;<br />Suddenly, Nikki&rsquo;s voice let me wince a little.<br />&ldquo;To do what, mom? What are you two talking about? Balto, your mother wants to go home. She needs to get up early, and you have school tomorrow.&rdquo;<br />I took a deep breath. Somehow, I was glad that Nikki saved me from this conversation.<br />&ldquo;Ok. Bye, Mrs. Kofi. Bye Nikki!&rdquo;<br /><br />I hugged my girl tight, and as my mother and I were about to leave, I heard how Nikki and her mom having their own conversation in the kitchen. Sadly, I couldn&rsquo;t hear anything of it, since mom was pushing me through the front door.<br />After mom and I came home, I prepared the stuff I needed for the next day, mom made me some hot milk with honey, then it was time for bed.<br />That night, I had another weird dream. Even odder than my last one.<br />The short version? Nikki had sex with her mother. Ok, ok, I hear you. Here are a few more details: <br />Nikki was sitting on her bed, enjoying a paw massage from her mother, who was kneeling in front of the bed. After a while, Nikki spread her legs, presenting her sweet, wet plum to her mother. And the older cheetah took this invitation with pleasure. She buried her snout between Nikki&rsquo;s legs, licked her daughter&rsquo;s most sensitive spot, what made my girl moan loudly. <br />Nikki placed one hand on her mother&rsquo;s head, while she enjoyed the greedy tongue playing on her vagina. Then Nikki laid down on her back, with her legs still widely spread. Mrs. Kofi followed her daughter, crawling on the bed on all fours. As she was above Nikki, they looked each other deep in the eyes, before sharing a long kiss.<br />A shadowy figure appeared, came closer to the naughty girls. Sadly, my alarm ended the dream at that point. I wonder what would have happened next. I also wondered what Nikki would say to this dream. We will come back to this topic later.<br /><br />Ok, so much for the first part of this entry. Next, I would like to tell you about the last week of school before summer break.<br /><br /><br />Part 2: Last week in Middle school<br /><br /><br />My last days at middle school. Luckily, I won&#039;t have to go to another school next year because Seppala Middle School is also home to our local high school. It is just a different building on the campus.<br />My alarm clock woke me up at 6 a.m. from the aforementioned dream.<br />Tired, I stood up and walked out of my room. Next stop was the bathroom, then it was time for breakfast. My mother had prepared some cereals for me, plus fresh orange juice. Since she bought this juicer, mom makes fresh juice all the time from whatever fruit she can find. What is cool because it tastes much better than the stuff from the market. While I was enjoying my breakfast, mom and I talked a bit about the day and our plans for the rest of the week. Since Nikki and I would be gone for a week in July, we wanted to spend the next few days together. You know, watching movies, make walks, and such stuff. She also wanted to see a doctor with me. Don&rsquo;t worry, I am not sick. I only need a new recipe for my hay fever medication and a new EpiPen. Unfortunately, I have a few allergies. Besides my hay fever, I am allergic to stings from bees, wasps, and other insects. As if that wouldn&rsquo;t be enough already, I am also not allowed to eat nuts and apples in a raw form, what is a perfect excuse for not eating green food. Mom says that in most cases, I won&rsquo;t need something like an EpiPen. But better save, than sorry.<br /><br />I couldn&rsquo;t wait for summer break. <br />I wanted to play video games, work on my journal, spend time with Nikki, and besides that, we had a few trainings with the theater group on our list. Not only do we have some new members and volunteers with the Howling Musketeers, but we also have a professional vocal trainer now. The principal of Stark College seems serious with his support for us, what is amazing. The vocal trainer is a lioness in her 50s, her name is Severa Abbas. As she told us at the first meeting, she is a former actress and dancer. But due to her age and some other problems, she needed to find a new profession. And that is why she now works as a trainer. So far, I only met her twice. The first time was as the principal introduced her to us, and the second time was at our first training together. Somehow, I have the feeling that she doesn&rsquo;t like me. Ms. Abbas always yelled at me to speak louder, clearer, but regardless of what I did, it was always wrong. The worst thing for me was as she excluded me from the training after some time. That also pissed off Raphael, what resulted in them having a heated discussion. The result was a half-hearted apology, in which she said that she had never worked with kids before. I guess we will see where this goes with her. In my opinion, she hasn&#039;t made many friends in our group so far.<br /><br />But this should only be a side note for now. More important for me was something I saw in the schoolyard during our lunch break. As usual, I had made myself comfortable in the grass underneath the big trees. Mom had made me chicken sandwiches that day, they were so delicious. When I was done eating, I let my gaze wander over the yard. My classmates played and ran around, while I just tried to relax and to enjoy the warmth of the sun, before we had to go back to class. Then I spotted Mikey. I was already wondering where he was because he usually spends the break with me. The fox wasn&rsquo;t alone, alongside him came Antu, the white tiger boy, who had joined our class quite recently. <br /><br />Mikey and I became fast friends with him after the tiger came to Darwin&#039;s Hope with his dad. Antu&rsquo;s father is a human, and a close friend of Mr. Kofi. They served together in the same unit in the army. Mikey and Antu spent a lot of time together lately. What surprised me that day was to see them walking hand in hand. Without any doubts, they would make a great couple. I giggled silently, as I imagined who would be the more dominant part in their relationship. In my opinion, it would be Antu.<br />The tiger spotted me, waved, and then the two joined me at my little spot underneath the trees. <br />After they sat down next to me, we had a nice little conversation. Antu told us about his favorite restaurants and the places he had already visited with his father, both in our city and while he traveled with him from one military base to another. We talked until the bell rang, and we had to go back inside.<br /><br />The rest of the day wasn&rsquo;t much to talk about, just the usual school stuff. Well, beside the last hour. We were allowed to visit the part of our school, which houses the Seppala High School. Somehow, I was disappointed by it. This part looked mostly just like the rest of the school. Including dirty and damaged toilets, but they are to be renovated during the summer. Well, at least one thing there was special. We crossed a showcase with prices, trophies and certificates the school had won in the past. <br />Most of them were for winning talent and sports competitions. A quick glance at the dates on the signs showed that some time had passed since the last victory.<br />One trophy had a photo next to it, which showed a familiar looking girl. The description underneath confirmed it: Nicole Kofi, winner of the 2018 Erie County High School Talent Contest. Nikki looked so cute back then. After about half an hour, it was time to go back to our classroom.<br />Everyone was relived, as the bell ended the day. Including our teacher.<br /><br />I was already on my way to the bus, as my mother called. It was just a short call, in which she asked me to wait for her in front of the school. The reason was that she had made an appointment with the doctor and wanted to pick me up. I used the time to play a little puzzle game on my mobile. <br /><br />My mom arrived about 20 minutes after the school had ended. We drove to the doctor, and afterward, we went home.<br />We enjoyed a tasty dinner together, while we watched two episodes of Lucifer. When we finished eating, I helped mom clean up, then I went to my room and turned on my PC to chat a bit on Pawtalk. Nikki seemed to have been waiting for me because it took her less than a minute to call me. I wondered what she would say about the strange dream I&#039;d had the night before.<br /><br />I took the call and started the conversation.<br />&ldquo;Hey Nikki, how are you? How was your day?&rdquo;<br />Nikki seemed to be in a good mood.<br />&ldquo;Hey, cutie. It was ok. And yours? Is everything ok at school?&rdquo;<br />I nodded with a smile.<br />&ldquo;Sure, Nikki. We were allowed to take a look at the part of the school we will go to next year. But it wasn&rsquo;t something special, besides some decorations. I have seen a photo of you in a showcase there.&rdquo;<br />Nikki was surprised.<br />&ldquo;A photo of me? Oh, I think I know which photo you mean. I won a talent show in 2018, was it from that?&rdquo;<br />I clapped my hands.<br />&ldquo;Yes! You looked so cute back then.&rdquo;<br />The feline looked into the camera with played anger.<br />&ldquo;Do you think I am not cute anymore?&rdquo;<br />Her look somehow freighted me, and I folded back my ears in submission while I shook my head.<br />&ldquo;No, Nikki. I just meant that you were already cute back then.&rdquo;<br />My girl began to laugh.<br />&ldquo;You look so sweet when you are scared. Fluffy, all is fine. Honestly, I don&rsquo;t remember much of this contest. Just that it was somewhat important for the school. I think my mom has filmed the whole thing. If I don&rsquo;t forget, I will ask her about it.&rdquo;<br /><br /><br />Nikki took a deep breath, and her voice changed into a more serious tone.<br />&ldquo;Balto, what I really wanted to talk about with you is the theater group. I had a group call with the others before, and we decided that we have to do something about Madam Abbas. <br />This woman tries to take complete control, although she is only hired as a vocal trainer. She now wants trainings daily, wants to decide who can join and who has to leave the group. We had a meeting with her today, during which she announced that she wants you and Miguel out of the group.&rdquo;<br />I gulped, could believe what Nikki just said.<br />&ldquo;Why? Did we do something wrong?&rdquo;<br />Nikki shook her head.<br />&ldquo;No, Balto. The simple reason is that she doesn&rsquo;t like you, what she openly admitted during the meeting. And Miguel, well, Miss Abbas also dislikes Mexicans. She even called Miguel sloppy and lazy. Raphael literally exploded in anger. He wanted to see the principal right away, but sadly, he had already left the school. Don&rsquo;t worry, ok? If she really manages to exclude only one member, we will all leave. And that is something the principal will never let happen.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ms. Abbas is sawing the branch she is sitting on, and soon, she will fall.&rdquo;<br />This unpleasant news made me sad. <br />&ldquo;Nikki, maybe it would be better if I leave the group.&rdquo;<br />Nikki shouted into her microphone:<br />&ldquo;Balto, you take that back immediately! As long as you are with me, you will not quit, especially not because of a power-hungry wannabe star! We will talk to the principal as soon as we can. If we are lucky, Ms. Abbas will have to look for a new job by the end of the week.&rdquo;<br />Nikki scared me at that moment.<br />&ldquo;Nikki, please. Stop shouting, you scare me.&rdquo;<br />Nikki calmed herself.<br />&ldquo;Sorry, Balto. It is just.&rdquo; My girl sighed. &ldquo;Let us change the topic. Do you have something to talk about?&rdquo;<br />I gulped nervously.<br />&ldquo;Well, I wanted to tell you about the dream I had last night.&rdquo;<br />My girl smiled at me from the monitor.<br />&ldquo;Oh? Did my doggy have a naughty dream?&rdquo;<br />Again, I had to gulp, while my heart was beating fast. I guess I was silent for a bit too long, since Nikki added:<br />&ldquo;Doggy? Are you still with me? Tell your cheetah, what you have dreamed about.&rdquo;<br />And so, I began to tell her:<br />&ldquo;Well, I dreamed of you and your mom doing things together.&rdquo;<br />Nikki tilted her head.<br />&ldquo;Things? Do you mean what I think you mean?&rdquo;<br />I nodded, before I answered.<br />&ldquo;Yes, you two had sex together.&rdquo;<br />Nikki chuckled, as she leaned back in her chair and put her paws on her desk.<br />&ldquo;Tell me more, Balto. Come on.&rdquo;<br />Ashamed, I began to tell her about my dream.<br />&ldquo;Well, first your mom gave you a paw massage, you moaned loudly and spread your legs, so your mom could lick you down there. After a while, you leaned back, and your mother moved above you. Then there was a kiss. I remember that I saw a shadowy figure appearing in the back, which came closer, but then my alarm woke me up.&rdquo; <br />The feline looked at me suggestively.<br />&ldquo;That is all? I thought there would have been more. It seems like you woke up right before the main event. Balto, it was just a dream. A strange one, yes, but still just a dream. <br />Don&rsquo;t put too many thoughts into it.&rdquo;<br />Nikki had to think for a second.<br />&ldquo;But doggy, I maybe should tell you about something, too. A couple of weeks ago, my mom came up to my room to speak with me. I was naked and stayed that way while we talked. I could see how she checked me out, how her eyes roamed over my body. The strangest thing was that she asked me if I would have sex with her, if she wasn&rsquo;t my mother.&rdquo;<br /><br />Her reaction, together with this story of hers, made me kind of curious. My ears were standing up straight, while I asked her:<br />&ldquo;Would you?&rdquo;<br />Nikki went silent for some time, before she finally answered:<br />&ldquo;Well, mom is a good-looking woman. Just like your mother. So, yes, I would. Hm, and to be fair, tell me. Would you like to have sex with her, if you could?&rdquo;<br />Have you ever wished for a hole opening underneath yourself, so you can disappear? That was exactly what I wanted to happen at that moment. <br />But since that was unlikely to happen, I had to say something to Nikki. Ashamed and stuttering, I admitted to my giggling cheetah:<br />&ldquo;Well, if you ask me like that, yes. She is hot. Well, for a mom.&rdquo;<br /><br />I didn&rsquo;t need my speakers to hear Nikki&rsquo;s laughter, while I disappeared underneath my desk. I really told my girlfriend, that I find her mother attractive enough to have sex with her. Luckily, Nikki took it with humor. After she was done with laughing, she said:<br />&ldquo;Balto, all is fine. We are talking about entirely hypothetical stuff here. So come back up and look at me, sweetie.&rdquo;<br />Slowly, I came back up, with my ears folded back in submission. My eyes became big, as I looked at the screen in front of me. Nikki had taken off her shirt, and I could see her firm breasts. This view makes me smile every time. Nikki appeared to like the way I looked at her, and said:<br />&ldquo;That&rsquo;s more like it. I know how much you enjoy it seeing them, Balto. Now let us talk about something else, what I forgot to mention before. On Wednesday, we have a group meeting at the college. I have spoken with your mother before, and she will bring you here after school. Raphael wants to try one last time to talk sense into Ms. Abbas. He wants to try making it clear to her, that she is only a trainer, and not our boss. But Raphael isn&rsquo;t very optimistic, that she will understand that. Anyway, we are not in the position to fire her. That is up to principal Schaeffer and the council. We can only hope for the best.&rdquo;<br />Nikki sighed.<br />&ldquo;It is getting late, Fluffy. We both should go to bed. I love you, sleep well.&rdquo;<br />Nikki formed a heart with her hands for the camera. I did the same while I replied:<br />&ldquo;I love you too, Nikki. See you tomorrow.&rdquo;<br /><br />I yawned, and was a bit shocked, as I looked at the time. It was way past my bedtime. I went to bed, but I couldn&rsquo;t sleep. My mind circled the theater group. As you can imagine, I didn&rsquo;t get much sleep that night. Sometimes, I hate my brain.<br /><br />Tuesday was rather eventless. In class, we only talked, watched a movie, in the afternoon, we had sport. I can&rsquo;t tell you how much I hate sport. Especially if we must play any games. This time, we had to play soccer. As usual, I was voted last into a team, and then I was told to sit on the bench. But as you can imagine, it was the best thing that could have happened to me. That way I had the time to write down some notes and to think about more important things.<br /><br />After I came home that day, mom asked me to help her in the garden. We cut the lawn and took care of mom&#039;s vegetable patches. She loves to grow her own vegetables, mostly carrots and such stuff. This year, she is trying to grow blueberries. From what I understood, they look good so far.<br />We just need to keep the snails away from them. Mom yoked that we should get a duck or two to get rid of the snails, but she is afraid that I would eat them. It isn&rsquo;t my fault that duck is tasting so delicious.<br />But let us move on to Wednesday now.<br /><br />The school day was, just like the days before, nothing special. In fact, it was a boring day. At least, we had our cooking class in the afternoon. This time, we made a New York Cheesecake. It was so tasty!<br /><br />After school was over, mom picked me up and brought me to the college. As we arrived, I could already see the rest of the Howling Musketeers waiting in front of the main entrance. <br />Mom drove to the parking lot, where I gave her a kiss and left the car. She drove home, since there was no need for her to wait. Nikki was here, and I would drive home with my girl after the meeting.<br />Miguel was the first one who spotted and greeted me. Nikki was in the middle of a conversation with Raphael and Svetlana, which is why she didn&#039;t see me at first.<br /><br />I spoke with Miguel for a while, before Thomas, Gabriel, Angelike, and Joseph joined us. Raphael, Nikki, Svetlana, and Jonathan followed shortly after. My girlfriend gave me a hug, then we walked over to the event hall. Inside, we met with Ms. Abbas.<br />The lioness wanted to begin a training session as usual, but Raphael cut her off after her first few sentences. A discussion followed, which turned into a loud dispute between the two after only a few minutes. I tried to cover my ears, but ultimately, I had to leave the hall.<br />I simply cannot stand such heated debates. Nikki followed me outside, where we sat down on a bench. First, we were sitting there in silence. Then I heard her speaking in a concerned voice:<br />&ldquo;Balto, is everything ok? Raphael is still talking to Ms. Abbas. This woman is stubborn as a mule.&rdquo;<br />I looked to the ground, as I answered her:<br />&ldquo;I just can&rsquo;t stand if people yell at each other.&rdquo;<br />Nikki sighed and placed her hand on my shoulder.<br />&ldquo;Balto, adults sometimes do that. Sure, it is stupid in most cases, but it is normal. Now come, let us go back inside. The others need us in there.&rdquo;<br /><br />Nikki took my hand, and just as we were about to go back inside, we saw the principal walking towards the entrance of the event hall. A look at his face clearly showed that he was annoyed by something.<br />Nikki greeted him, but the big rottweiler didn&rsquo;t respond. At least, he held the door open for us, as we re-entered the hall behind him.<br />Raphael and Ms. Abbas were still arguing on stage, while the rest of our group was sitting in silence on chairs in the first row. The director walked straight up on stage, where he used his powerful voice to silence the two squabblers.<br />&ldquo;What the hell is going on here? My secretary told me that Mr. McAlister here called several times. I have a lot of work in my office, so better make this quick.&rdquo;<br />Ms. Abbas was faster than Raphael with giving him an answer:<br />&ldquo;This group here is a catastrophe! You told me I should train them, show them how to strengthen their skills. But they don&rsquo;t do what I tell them to do. I was a star once, I played on Broadway and in numerous movies, and I never experienced such an unprofessional bunch of wannabe actors. The girls cannot move, the men are good for nothing. And this child. You never told me that I would have to work with a child. I demand you to inform these amateurs that I am in charge, and that my decisions are final!&rdquo;<br />Raphael nearly exploded with pent-up rage, but somehow managed to stay calm in front of the principal.<br />&ldquo;Ms. Abbas, with all due respect. You are only our vocal trainer, and nothing else. Since you are here, you try to take over this group. You insulted us. You excluded Balto from exercises. <br />And not only that, but you deny all successes we had during the last months. Every one of us simply has enough of you.&rdquo;<br />Ms. Abbas screamed back at Raphael and the principal:<br />&ldquo;I am in the show business since I was 16. I was one of the first anthropomorphic movie stars. I will not accept rewords from a bloody amateur.&rdquo;<br />Now the principal raised his voice:<br />&ldquo;Ms. Abbas! Mr. McAlister is right, I only hired you as a vocal trainer for this group. Nothing more, nothing less. This group is the best one Stark College had in years, and I will not accept you destroying it. We hired you because we wanted to provide further support to the group. Mr. McAlister has proven himself as a great leader, and I will not accept any attempts from outside to change the group. Did I make myself clear?&rdquo;<br /><br />Ms. Abbas puffed angrily, before she answered in her usual condescending tone:<br />&ldquo;No, this is unacceptable! If I am supposed to train them, then I am the leader, and I will make the important decisions. I will decide who joins and who will leave the group. And the first ones to go are the boy and this Mexican there. I can&rsquo;t work with either of them.&rdquo;<br />The principal finally had enough.<br />&ldquo;I can&rsquo;t believe what you just said. Or, better, how you said it. Mr. Rodrigo is a Mexican, yes. But at this College, we see the person, not the heritage. And like him, Balto here has proven his talent and his worth for the group several times. <br />Ms. Abbas, you are fired. I will not accept a hateful, arrogant, or even worse, a racist teacher inside my school. Get out of here.&rdquo;<br /><br />Ms. Abbas shouted and cursed when she left the event hall. None of us were able to say anything, we all just looked at the principal. The rottweiler needed a few moments to calm down before he soke to us:<br />&ldquo;I apologize for the inconvenience caused by Ms. Abbas. This woman was supposed to help you. Please go on with your training. Next time, I will involve you in decisions which affect the group so directly. You all do a wonderful job. Oh, and before I forget it. <br />My colleague at Seppala Middle School called and asked for you to perform during this year&rsquo;s closing ceremony. Nothing big, just some songs or small sketches. Would you be interested in doing that?&rdquo;<br /><br />Raphael answered him: <br />&ldquo;Sure thing, principal Schaeffer.&rdquo; <br />Then our leader looked at me. <br />&ldquo;Balto, isn&rsquo;t the Seppala your school? Would it be ok for you to perform in front of your classmates? Believe me, the judgment of classmates can be scarier than that of any critic out there.&rdquo;<br />This made me chuckle.<br />&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t care about them. Let&rsquo;s do it. Otherwise, it will be a boring party. They want us to dance there, but barely anyone in my class can dance. And if it comes to my classmates, most of them don&rsquo;t like me anyway.&rdquo;<br /><br />Nikki interjected:<br />&ldquo;Balto, I doubt this is true. What I think is that they simply ignore you because they feel that you don&rsquo;t want to have anything to do with them. Don&rsquo;t get me wrong doggy, but even if you have improved in the past two years, you still have a very introverted personality. And that isn&rsquo;t easy to handle for most people. Maybe this is a chance to improve their opinion of you, Flu&hellip; I mean, Balto.&rdquo;<br /><br />She was about to say it. She wanted to call me Fluffy in front of all the others. Gladly, she stopped herself before it was too late. I sighed with relief, while Miguel grinned at me. The Mexican Wolf began to laugh, since he figured out what Nikki really wanted to call me. But he kept it to himself.<br /><br />The rest of the meeting was pretty much as usual. We talked about Friday, I spoke with Miguel about this &ldquo;Fluffy&rdquo; thing, then Nikki and I drove back home. My girl and I spent the rest of the day learning for Friday, until she had to go home. <br /><br />Thursday was uneventful, so let us skip it and move on to my last day in Middle School.<br /><br />Friday, June 24. The last day before the long-awaited summer break. A day to celebrate, to party. But to be honest, I will miss school, at least a bit. Yeah, I admit it, I like going to school. I like it because I like learning new things. There is so much I still don&rsquo;t know, so much to discover. So many books to read, so many plays to play. At this point, I remember a phrase from a book I recently read at Trish&rsquo;s place. It is a quote from a Swedish man by the name of Ingvar Kamprad:<br />&ldquo;Most things aren&rsquo;t done yet. Wonderful future.&rdquo;<br />But back to the topic. Where were we? Oh yes, Friday, and our plans for the summer.<br /><br />My mother and I never had the money to make long journeys or to visit other countries. Every year, after the summer break, my classmates talk about their big vacations.<br />I never had something to tell there, and sometimes that really hurt. Nikki&rsquo;s parents offered mom more than once to join them on longer trips, but she always denied that. Maybe because she felt bad, that she couldn&rsquo;t pay for such trips herself. Don&rsquo;t get me wrong. I am thankful for having such a carrying mother. More thankful than I have ever told her. She did everything in her powers to take care of me. I know that I am repeating myself here, but she is the best mom ever. <br /><br />Our longest trips so far have been to Niagara Falls, Cleveland, and of course, New York City. And I loved each one of them, as long as mom was there. Our school also made trips from time to time, mostly to camps in National Parks and such stuff. It never took more than a day for me to get homesick on these trips. That is why mom wasn&rsquo;t so sure about letting me go on vacation with Nikki. But this time, I will have my girlfriend with me, and I won&#039;t be in an area where you don&#039;t have a single bar. That means that I can call mom every day, and not only if the camp allows it. Ok, now we move on to Friday.<br /><br />The graduation ceremony was supposed to start at noon in our sports hall. That is why I could sleep until 8 o&rsquo;clock. The tasteful smell of fresh waffles with maple syrup woke me up and led me into our kitchen, where mom had prepared breakfast for me. Besides the waffles, she made fresh orange juice. I say it again, I have the best mommy.<br /><br />The graduation ceremony is a tradition at Seppala High and Middle School. There will be music, dancing, a buffet, they will say a few words about every student. But this whole show is more for the parents than it is for the students. At least that is what Mr. Wertenson has told us about it. For those who don&rsquo;t remember, he is my biology teacher. And he is also a guidance counselor at our school. I really hope we will still have him next year.<br />Mom took the day off, so she could go there with me. <br />We sat next to each other at our dining table and enjoyed this tasty breakfast together. We talked about plans for the summer, a bit about Nikki and me, and about the happenings during the last few weeks.<br /><br /><br />As we came to talk about the last weekend, I couldn&rsquo;t hide my curiosity anymore and asked my surprised mother:<br />&ldquo;Mom, how was the sex with Mr. and Mrs. Kofi last weekend? I saw that you had cuffs on your arms. You made bondage, right?&rdquo;<br />Mum looked at me with a serious expression in her face.<br />&ldquo;Balto, I am glad you accept me having a sex life again, but that really is something I will not talk about with you. Understood?&rdquo;<br />I lowered my eyes and folded back my ears in shame.<br />&ldquo;I understood, mom. I am sorry.&rdquo;<br />My mother placed her hand on my shoulder.<br />&ldquo;It is ok. Now, let us talk about school, before we leave.&rdquo;<br />She gently caressed my head.<br />&ldquo;My big boy. In September, you will be a High School student. Time is running so fast.&rdquo;<br /><br />She scratched me behind the ears, which made me smile while I said:<br />&ldquo;Thanks, mom. But I don&rsquo;t think that much will change. It even is the same school. I wish I could attend to Nikki&rsquo;s college.&rdquo;<br />Mom shook her head.<br />&ldquo;Balto, you will be there soon enough. But for now, concentrate on your time in High School.&rdquo;<br />Mom was right. As always.<br />&ldquo;Yes, mom. I promise I won&rsquo;t disappoint you.&rdquo;<br />My mother took me into her arms.<br />&ldquo;Balto, you could never disappoint me. You reached so much within the last two years. Don&rsquo;t be mad, but I remember times you were one of the worst students in your class. And now you are one of the best. Since you are with Nicole, you have a better condition, better grades, you are more open to other people. You are in a theater group, something I would have never dreamed of. You even had a play in New York, and you did a wonderful job there. I am so proud of you. I always tell my colleagues at work about you, and they love the videos of your performances.&rdquo;<br />She sighed.<br />&ldquo;If only your father could see you today.&rdquo; <br />Mom stood up from the table.<br />&ldquo;Now come, it is time we get ready. I prepared your good jeans and ironed your bandana. And please brush your teeth and wash your face. You have waffles and syrup everywhere.&rdquo;<br /><br />I saw how mom took her phone and wrote a message, as I left the kitchen to get ready. It took me 20 minutes to clean myself and get dressed. Mom had done the same in the meantime. <br />She was wearing her best dress, a midnight-blue evening gown, which shows her well-formed legs. She looked beautiful. But her outfit wasn&rsquo;t the only surprise. As I opened the front door, my jaw dropped. Nikki was waiting for us outside. She was wearing a tight black summer dress, shoulder free and a high leg cutout. A real femme fatale. I couldn&rsquo;t say anything, this look of hers made me speechless. <br /><br />Nikki and my mom both began to laugh after a brief moment.<br />&ldquo;Oh doggy, you should really see your face. Hi Christa. How do I look? I hope it isn&rsquo;t too much,&rdquo; Nikki said. Mom touched my chin to close my mouth. While looking at my girl, she complimented her: <br />&ldquo;You look amazing, Nicole. This dress really suits you. Well, if Balto is done with drooling, we are good to go.&rdquo;<br /><br />Nikki took me into her arms, I could smell her strawberry-coconut shampoo. I must admit that this smell is still turning me on.<br />We took our car this time and arrived at the school about twenty minutes later. <br />Together, we passed the big fountain at the main entrance, with the statue of Athene on top of it. The goddess of wisdom is still watching over our school.<br />Nikki looked at it and smiled.<br />&ldquo;Ah, the sweet goddess Athene. I always loved this statue. I still remember how we used this fountain to cool down on hot summer days. The janitor always shouted around, if he caught us taking a bath in it.&rdquo;<br /><br />We all laughed, as we entered the auditorium. There we met with the rest of the Howling Musketeers. We talked a bit on our way to the sport hall. Mr. Wertenson welcomed us at its entrance. <br /><br />First, he shook my mother&rsquo;s hand.<br />&ldquo;Mrs. Star, it is a pleasure to see you again.&rdquo;<br />He turned his head to me.<br />&ldquo;Hello Balto.&rdquo;<br />Then he looked at Nikki, who was holding my hand.<br />&ldquo;Ah. And you must be Balto&rsquo;s famous girlfriend. Now that I finally see you in person, you seem familiar.&rdquo;<br />Nikki looked at my teacher, while she played with her hair.<br />&ldquo;Hello, Mr. Wertenson. My name is Nicole Kofi, you were my biology teacher, as I attended this school. I am now at Stark College.&rdquo;<br /><br />Mr. Wertenson touched his forehead.<br />&ldquo;Ms. Kofi. Yes, now I remember. I didn&rsquo;t recognize you without Ms. Jones by your side.&rdquo;<br />I can imagine how you look right now, my dear reader. Like you, I was confused. The same went for Nikki, at least for a second.<br />&ldquo;Ms. Jones? Oh, you mean Trish. No, she sadly isn&rsquo;t here today.&rdquo;<br />Mr. Wertenson turned his head back to me.<br />&ldquo;You know Balto, your girlfriend and Ms. Jones were known troublemakers here. Good students, but wild. Ms. Kofi once played baseball with the nest of some angry hornets. The thing landed right in front of the former director. He needed three weeks to recover. Not to mention the Mensa massacre.&rdquo; <br />Nikki tried to cover my ears, but it was too late. I looked at her with a grin on my face:<br />&ldquo;Mensa massacre? Nikki, you never told me about all this.&rdquo;<br />My girl placed her hand on my muzzle.<br />&ldquo;Wipe that grin off your face, Balto. There is nothing to tell here. Trish and I just had a bad day, nothing else.&rdquo;<br />Mr. Wertenson had to laugh.<br />&ldquo;Bad day? I still remember that we had to renovate the whole Mensa, after Ms. Jones and Ms. Kofi started a food fight on Spaghetti Day.&rdquo;<br />Our whole theater group began to laugh, even mom couldn&rsquo;t hold it in. Nikki seemed to be a bit annoyed.<br />&ldquo;That was during my first year in High School. As far as I remember it, we were provoked by some boys who threw their food at us first.&rdquo;<br /><br />Mr. Wertenson calmed down and gave Nikki a smile, but somehow, I felt that he was hiding something.<br />&ldquo;It doesn&rsquo;t matter anymore. Ms. Kofi later proved to be one of our best students. I am delighted to hear that you have made it to Stark College.&rdquo;<br />The teacher looked at Raphael and the rest of the group.<br />&nbsp;&ldquo;Oh, I am so sorry. Are you the other singers from Stark? The Howling Musketeers?&rdquo;<br />Raphael introduced the Howling Musketeers, then we entered the hall. The decoration wasn&rsquo;t anything special, but it was ok. The food smelled like the typical stuff from our cantina. That means you better stay away from the meat, since it might bite back. Ok, bad joke about food at school &ndash; check.<br /><br />Raphael took the Howling Musketeers next door to prepare for the show, while mom, Nikki and I took our seats at a big round table. There we also met with Antu, Mikey and their fathers. <br />We had a good conversation, and a lot of fun. Antu and Mikey held hands for most of the time, but I was too shy to ask if they were really a couple now.<br /><br />After about half-an-hour, we heard Mr. Wertenson&rsquo;s voice through the speaker.<br />&ldquo;Dear parents, beloved students, my name is Christian Wertenson. I am the guidance counselor of the Leonard Seppala High and Middle School. Today, we want to celebrate, since our students here have reached the end of their time in Middle School. In September, they will return here as High School students. It became a tradition at this school to hand out each student their final report card and their Middle School Diploma in person when they reach this milestone in their school career.<br />Before we begin, I am pleased to announce that all students successfully completed this year. <br />The first student I want to introduce you today is a boy who came to us from far away. He always showed great enthusiasm in the classroom, and his success is nothing less than inspiring for many at this school. Please give applause to Antu Strife. Come to me, Antu.&rdquo;<br /><br />The tiger walked timidly towards Mr. Wertenson. A blind man would have noticed that this situation wasn&rsquo;t comfortable for him. The clapping and the knocking on the tables must have been somehow traumatic for Antu. So traumatic that his father stood up to go with him on the way, so he could get his report. Maybe I should have mentioned that Antu originally comes from Afghanistan and has seen some pretty bad things there.<br /><br />After Antu and his father came back to the table, he looked proud at his report card, and his father gave him a hug. Tears formed in my eyes, as I watched this scene. My mother noticed that and gently touched my back. Then she whispered into my ear:<br />&ldquo;Balto, is everything ok? Why the tears?&rdquo;<br />I lowered my head and looked at the ground. Luckily, the others were busy with their stuff, which is why they didn&rsquo;t pay attention to me. I mumbled in response to my mother&rsquo;s question:<br />&ldquo;I was just thinking about dad. I wish he would be here, mom. I want my dad, like all the other kids have theirs.&rdquo;<br />Mom pressed me against her, while she caressed my head. She spoke silently:<br />&ldquo;Balto, believe me when I say that I want nothing more than for your father to walk through that door right now. But that&#039;s impossible. I know that I can&#039;t replace your father. But believe me, Sebastian would be more than proud to see you today.&rdquo; <br />Next was Mikey, followed by the rest of the students. A little detail here, the ceremony wasn&rsquo;t only for my class, it was also for the parallel class. As a result, the ceremony took forever. Hopefully, Raphael and the others had something to do, while they waited next door.<br /><br />It took me a while to order my thoughts. Mom held me tight the whole time. After a while, I could hear Nikki whispering:<br />&ldquo;When does Balto get his report? We need to get ready for the show.&rdquo; <br />Mom answered her:<br />&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know, but we must be close to the end of the list now. As far as I see it, everyone else got their report now. I don&rsquo;t know why Balto is the last one who gets his.&rdquo;<br /><br />Mr. Wertenson&rsquo;s voice silenced this conversation.<br />&ldquo;I thank you all very much for your patience. Before we come to the entertainment part, I have one more student on my list. I have known this young man since he first set his paws into this school. He was always a silent wolf, barely interacted with others. Unfortunately, his grades suffered from his introverted nature, although he already showed his great talents back then. I hope he doesn&rsquo;t hate me now for sharing this with you. Well, about two years ago, there was a change. It was a positive surprise for my colleagues and me, I can tell you that much. His grades improved drastically, and he began to open, or, as you kids might say it, to lower his shields. He began to talk, to be more active during the lessons.<br />As I have heard, he recently joined a theater group at Stark College, even played on Broadway in a little competition. Well, without any more words, Balto, would you please come up here?&rdquo;<br /><br />Mom had to give me a little push, since I somehow didn&rsquo;t want to go on stage after this speech. I stood up and walked up to Mr. Wertenson. He gave me my report card and my certificate. A few more bloomy words followed, which gave me an even more uncomfortable feeling. I felt how everyone in the room was looking at me, especially my classmates. On my way back to the table, I took a brief look at the piece of paper in my hands. <br /><br />&ldquo;The student still has problems with social participation.&rdquo;<br />That was one of the first sentences written on it. The same sentence as every year. But well, I think I made some progress in that matter. <br />After I rejoined the others on the table, Nikki and mom looked at my report card.<br />My mother took me into her arms.<br />&ldquo;This is fantastic, Balto. All the learning really worked out. I am proud of you, my son.&rdquo;<br />Nikki began to giggle.<br />&ldquo;We only have to work on your sports grade, I am sure you can do better than a B-, doggy.&rdquo;<br />Sport is really my least favorite subject at school. A bit annoyed, I answered to Nikki:<br />&ldquo;That is just because of these stupid games they force us to play all the time.&rdquo;<br /><br />The whole table laughed.<br />Sentences like: &ldquo;Your son has problems with social interactions? That happens, if a boy&rsquo;s father isn&rsquo;t around&rdquo; nearly let my mom explode, but she controlled herself. She just swallowed her anger. Nikki then tried to calm the situation down. <br />&ldquo;Balto, we should go and see the others now. I am sure they are eager to start with the show.&rdquo;<br />Mom briefly looked at the lady, who has said this nonsense moments before.<br />&ldquo;Yes, Balto. I can&rsquo;t wait to see what your friends have planned for today. Maybe you and Nicole can sing a little duet again? Like you did it in New York?&rdquo;<br />I nodded.<br />&ldquo;Sure, mom.&rdquo;<br />Nikki took my hand, and together we walked to one of the locker rooms, where Raphael and the others waited for us.<br />The Border Collie looked at us, as we entered.<br />&ldquo;There you are. I thought they might have forgotten us back here. Can we start now?&rdquo;<br />Nikki smiled at him.<br />&ldquo;Yes, Mr. Wertenson will announce us any minute. How shall we begin?&rdquo;<br />Raphael pulled out a list of songs.<br />&ldquo;This guy gave me a list of songs he wants us to sing.&rdquo;<br />Nikki looked at the list.<br />&ldquo;Those songs are boring as hell. We are here to bring some joy to the audience, and not to depress them. I think we should begin with something different. Svetlana, Angelike, how about &#039;You&rsquo;ll be in my heart&#039;, &#039;You Raise me up&#039; and &#039;You&rsquo;ll never walk alone&#039;?&rdquo;<br />Everyone agreed with these songs, and they seemed to be a good start. You might wonder where the music came from, since we didn&rsquo;t have any instruments with us. Besides that, not every one of us could play an instrument. Our group owns a karaoke machine for performances like this one. We also use it for our karaoke nights.<br />Raphael added a few more songs, some of them were even on the Mr. Wertenson&rsquo;s list:<br /><br />&#039;We are young&#039;, &#039;Reach for the Light&#039;, &#039;Something just like this&#039;, and &#039;You got it.&#039;<br /><br />Besides those, Raphael performed a song from &lsquo;Dance of the Vampires&rsquo; named &lsquo;The Insatiable Appetite&rsquo;, Svetlana joined him later for &lsquo;Total Eclipse of the Hearth&rsquo;.<br />Then we all sang &lsquo;All for Love&rsquo; together, which is basically the hymn of our group.<br />We were nearly at the end, as Nikki and I sang &lsquo;If you believe&rsquo;. The first time I have heard it was in the movie &lsquo;Prince of Egypt&rsquo;. I am not much into religion, but I like this song&rsquo;s message.<br /><br />The people applauded, after we were done. Or better, knocked on the table. Since our hands are a bit different from human hands, with pads and fur, applauding is not so effective. We prefer to knock on something, if possible, what can be heard better. Especially we wolves sometimes howl, but that is rare. It also often isn&rsquo;t so gladly seen, or better, heard.<br />We were about to finish our gig, as Nikki pulled me closer. She whispered into my ear:<br />&ldquo;Balto, maybe you should end this with Puck&rsquo;s words. You know what I mean. Give this lady from before a taste of your talent.&rdquo;<br />I couldn&rsquo;t hide a smile, while I grabbed one of the microphones from its stand. Miguel switched the speakers back on, and after he gave me a sign, I spoke Puck&rsquo;s little poem:<br /><br />&ldquo;If we shadows have offended,<br />Think but this, and all is mended&mdash;<br />That you have but slumbered here<br />While these visions did appear.<br />And this weak and idle theme,<br />No more yielding but a dream,<br />Gentles, do not reprehend.<br />If you pardon, we will mend.<br />And, as I am an honest Puck,<br />If we have unearned luck<br />Now to &rsquo;scape the serpent&rsquo;s tongue,<br />We will make amends ere long.<br />Else the Puck a liar call.<br />So good night unto you all.<br />Give me your hands if we be friends,<br />And Robin shall restore amends.&rdquo;<br /><br />We bowed to the audience and then walked off the stage. It wasn&#039;t our best performance, but in our defense, we didn&#039;t have much time to prepare. At least this lady from before seemed to be impressed. After we came back home later, mom searched a frame for my certificate, we watched TV, and my mother showed us a video she recorded from our performance. Later, Nikki and I went online to watch a few music videos from Holly Rhoads-Hunter and her Band &ldquo;Silver Fang&rdquo;. I still have to say that this isn&rsquo;t my favorite kind of music. We are now at the end of June. I can&#039;t believe how fast this year has gone by. The next entry in our calendar was a little party at the lake Nikki had planned for our group.<br />We drove to the cabin the next day, early in the morning. On our way, we stopped at a nearby supermarket. Nikki wanted to buy some food and snacks for the party. <br />She bought meat, vegetables, some milk for breakfast. Unusual for her were the chips and the dips, since Nikki usually doesn&rsquo;t eat such stuff. She also bought ready mixture for a marble cake, as she wanted me to make some for the party.<br />We just were out of the market and moved with our shopping cart to Nikki&rsquo;s car, as I saw a boy and his parents.<br /><br />I couldn&rsquo;t look away from them, what Nikki noticed a few moments later.<br />&ldquo;Balto, is everything ok? You look as if you are very far away with your thoughts.&rdquo;<br />I nodded, and replied:<br />&ldquo;Yeah, all fine. I was just thinking about my dad. Mom always tells me how proud he would be of me. But I don&rsquo;t know why he should be proud. I am not special.&rdquo;<br />Nikki attempted to think of reasons why my father should be proud of me. <br />&ldquo;You are kind, sensitive, you support your mother, you are a little star at your school, you even performed on Broadway. There are several things he could be, no, would be proud of. Balto, I don&rsquo;t remember your father, I was only 5 years old, as he died. But if only half of the stuff my father told me about him is true, your dad would be bursting with pride.&rdquo;<br />Nikki&rsquo;s words made me smile.<br />&ldquo;You forgot that I have a cool girlfriend.&rdquo;<br />Nikki giggled.<br />&ldquo;Yeah, but that is more a compliment for me.&rdquo;<br />I sighed. <br />&ldquo;Yeah. Let us drive to the cabin now, before the milk gets warm.&rdquo;<br /><br />We drove to Spaulding Lake without saying any more words. After we had stowed the things in the kitchen, I sat down on the veranda, from where you have a clear view over the lake.<br />Nikki joined me there.<br />&ldquo;Balto, are you still thinking about your dad? When was the last time you visited him?&rdquo;<br />I drew my legs and rested my head on my knees.<br />&ldquo;You mean his grave? That was on Christmas, with mom.&rdquo;<br />My girl sat down next to me.<br />&ldquo;Maybe you should visit him more often. You know, the others won&rsquo;t come here until 7 or 8 in the evening. We have plenty of time, let us go visit your father.&rdquo;<br /><br />Why she wanted to do that wasn&rsquo;t clear to me. But saying something against it wouldn&rsquo;t make much sense. I know Nikki by now.<br />The drive to the cemetery took us about half an hour. At the impressive entrance, you can see the statues of three angels. On top of the gate is Azrael, the angel of death. Raphael, the angel of healing, stands on the left, and Gabriel, the angel of change and a new beginning, stands on the right side. <br />Death, healing, and a new beginning. Together, they guard the gates to this place. Mom always told me that they watch over the souls, and make sure that they get safely into the afterlife. I guess that sometimes faith can help to ease the pain, even if you know that it isn&rsquo;t real. <br /><br />Nikki looked at me, after she parked the car.<br />&ldquo;Ready?&rdquo; She asked.<br />Slowly, I turned my head toward her.<br />&ldquo;Nikki, would you mind if I go alone?&rdquo;<br />Nikki shook her head. She told me that in the meantime she would go for a little walk.<br />I nearly got lost as I wandered through the aisles of this place. But in the end, I found my father&rsquo;s grave. A cold, black stone with golden letters on it.<br /><br /><br />Sebastian Star<br />Born 05.16.1979&nbsp;&nbsp; Died 09.20.2007<br /><br />&ldquo;He who lives in the memory of his loved ones is not dead, he is only distant. Dead is only who is forgotten.&rdquo;<br /><br /><br />I kneeled in front of my father&rsquo;s grave, unknowing what to do next. I remembered what mom sometimes did here and began to talk.<br />&ldquo;Dad, it&rsquo;s me. Balto. I don&rsquo;t know if you can hear me, since, well, I am sitting here talking to a piece of stone. Sorry that I haven&rsquo;t visited you more often. Nikki brought me here. Mom is at home. But don&rsquo;t worry, she is fine. Do you remember Nikki? She has been my girlfriend for about two years now. Mom once showed me a video, where you joked with Mr. Kofi about me and Nikki becoming a couple. You would love her now, she is awesome. She helps me with school, and with her help, I became one of the best in my class. Oh, yesterday was my last day in Middle School. In September, I will be a High School student. I am also in a theater group now. We even performed on Broadway and won a competition there. I wish you would be here, Dad. I know that we never actually met each other, but I miss you.&rdquo;<br /><br />Tears ran down my checks. After I said these words, I was startled by a voice from behind.<br />&ldquo;I bet he misses you too.&rdquo;<br /><br />I turned around and spotted a familiar face. A human face. It was this man named Peter. The last time I have seen him was in Central Park, New York, during our first stay there. I growled at him, then closed my eyes, and shook my head.<br />&ldquo;You are not here. No one else has seen you in New York. Everyone said that I was talking to myself.&rdquo;<br />The strange man laughed, before he continued:<br />&ldquo;Your father loves you, Balto. You can be sure of that.&rdquo;<br /><br />And then, he was gone. Only the wind could be heard rustling through the leaves of the trees. Nikki&rsquo;s voice broke the silence a few moments later.<br />&ldquo;Balto? Balto? Where are you?&rdquo;<br />I shouted: <br />&ldquo;I am here, Nikki!&rdquo;<br /><br />My girl came closer, rubbing her arms. The wind became stronger, and a roll of thunder could be heard in the distance. <br />&ldquo;Balto, there you are. Have you silenced your phone? There is a storm coming, we should leave.&rdquo;<br /><br />We ran to the car and drove back to the cabin. We arrived there, and just as we entered the house, it started to rain. Nikki chuckled.<br />&ldquo;That was close. Well, Balto, we should start to prepare everything for the party. I will take care of the snacks, and you can start to bake the cake. Today, we will watch TV and talk, nothing special. Tomorrow, if it doesn&rsquo;t rain, we will have a BBQ. Gabriel brings his grill for it.&rdquo;<br /><br />While I was baking the cake, I could watch Nikki preparing the rest of the house for our guest. She also took out the air mattresses for later. They are ideal for guests, but I prefer to sleep on a real bed.<br />It became late, and at about 6 o&rsquo;clock, we heard a knocking at the door. It was still raining heavily. As Nikki opened the front door, we saw a feline, soaked to the bones. It was or dear Bengal Angelike.<br />She looked so cute, but by the expression on her face, she wasn&#039;t too happy about being all wet. I mean, wet from the rain, not the good kind of wet. You know what I mean. Nikki showed her the bathroom and gave her some dry clothes.<br />The next arriving guests were Raphael, Svetlana, and Miguel. Then came Gabriel together with Thomas and Jonathan. They all arrived in Gabriel&#039;s big, black Pick Up. <br />Joseph sadly couldn&rsquo;t make it because of family matters.<br />The wind became stronger, but besides that, it wasn&rsquo;t as bad as the storm back in May. You might remember, the one which claimed several lives in our town.<br /><br />We watched TV, afterward we played a card game named &ldquo;Cards against Humanity&rdquo; together. Miguel had his guitar with him and played a few songs for us.<br />It was a cozy evening with good friends, but the most interesting thing happened during the night and the next morning. <br />While the others slept in the living room, Nikki, Raphael, Svetlana, and I shared the bedroom. No, not all together in the bed. Svetlana and Raphael had an air mattress on the floor, Nikki and I took the bed.<br />A rustling woke me up in the middle of the night. First, I thought it came from outside. That maybe someone was sneaking around the house. But this noise came from inside the bedroom. I listened closer and noticed that it came from Svetlana&rsquo;s and Raphael&rsquo;s direction. They tried to be quiet, but here and there a soft moan escaped them both. The room was dark, so I could only imagine what they were doing. In my head, I had pictures of Raphael playing with Svetlana&rsquo;s pussy, rubbing her little pearl. The imagination of them having sex made me a bit horny, but Nikki was asleep, and I wanted to avoid waking her up. The noises intensified, I heard claws scratching over the mattress, and then a load moan, as Svetlana probably reached her climax.<br />I couldn&rsquo;t hold myself and giggled a bit. They must have heard me, since they both didn&rsquo;t move anymore for at least a minute. I fell asleep shortly after.<br /><br />The rising sun woke me up early in the morning. Nikki was still sleeping, same went for Raphael and Svetlana. After I stood up, I could see them laying there, arm in arm. Since I always sleep naked, I grabbed a bathrobe to cover myself, before I tried to leave the room as silent as possible. The bedroom door creaked a bit, as I closed it behind me. On my way to the bathroom, I noticed that I was the only one awake. Gabriel and Thomas shared a mattress, Angelike strangely slept alone on the couch, and the remaining mattress was empty. There was no trace of Jonathan and Miguel. I thought that they maybe went outside for a walk. Without any more thoughts, I continued my way to the bathroom.<br />As I was about to open the door, I heard that someone was taking a shower. But there also was another noise, which made me curious. Slowly I opened the unlocked door, to risk a look inside. There, inside the shower cabin, I saw them. Jonathan, the Red Fox, was humping Miguel. I thought the Mexican Wolf would be in love with Angelike, which is why I was very surprised about what was happening here. The fox had his hands on Miguel&rsquo;s hip, while the canine had his hands on the white wall of the cabin, pressing himself against his lover. I could clearly see the wolf&rsquo;s cock bobbing up and down with every thrust. Jonathan didn&rsquo;t hold back, and after a few minutes, he forced his knot inside the butt of his play partner. That pushed Miguel over the edge, and he came hands free. Jonathan himself came only seconds later, deep inside the butt of his lover. I simply couldn&rsquo;t look away from this scene. <br /><br />To be honest, it even aroused me a bit and reminded me of the sex I had with Mikey in the tent during our camping trip last year. Jonathan seemed to be exhausted as he cuddled up close to Miguel&rsquo;s back. <br />I tried to sneak out of the room backwards, but almost tripped over the laundry basket. The sound let the two lovebirds turn their heads to me. They seemed to be shocked, as they simultaneously yelled: &ldquo;Balto!&rdquo;<br /><br />Miguel turned off the water and Jonathan opened the shower cubicle a little. The wolf banged his head against the wall. He was angry with himself for not locking the door. Jonathan seemed to be calmer than Miguel. He spoke in a silent voice:<br />&ldquo;Miguel, stop that, before you make a dent in the tiles.&rdquo;<br />Then he looked at me.<br />&ldquo;Balto, can you please keep this to yourself? We will explain everything later, I promise.&rdquo;<br /><br />I nodded wordlessly, turned around and grabbed my toothbrush. There was no need to leave anymore, so brushed my teeth in peace and emptied my bladder first. I could watch in the mirror how Jonathan pulled his member out of Miguel&rsquo;s butt. That fox is, let me say, gifted. <br />I wonder if all foxes have such large cocks. Mikey is, if you remember the entry about the camping trip, pretty big down there too. That this thing fit in Miguel&rsquo;s butt impressed me. See, I needed a long time until Nikki could shove the strap-on inside my hole. And the dildo she used wasn&rsquo;t that big. All this let me think about how long they have practiced until the fox was able to penetrate Miguel. <br /><br />I mean, Jonathan&rsquo;s thing would make Vlad the Impaler smile. That was the guy who inspired Bram Stoker&rsquo;s Dracula, for those who don&rsquo;t know. Damn, Nikki is right. Sometimes I really annoy people with useless facts.<br /><br />After I finished my business in the bathroom, I left the two lovers alone and prepared some coffee and tea in the kitchen. As this was done, I slowly walked back in the bedroom, where Nikki was about to wake up. My girl looked at me with a warm smile on her beautiful face, after she noticed me.<br />&ldquo;Morning doggy. You are up early.&rdquo; <br />A loud yawn followed.<br />&ldquo;Have you slept well?&rdquo;<br />I still had the pictures from before in my head, which caused me to giggle.<br />&ldquo;Yes, Nikki. I have prepared some coffee and tea. The others are still sleeping.&rdquo;<br />Nikki tilted her head a little.<br />&ldquo;What is so funny about that?&rdquo;<br />Good for me, that she didn&rsquo;t wait for an answer. Her gaze wandered down to the floor, where Svetlana and Raphael were just about to wake up.<br />&ldquo;Morning you two,&rdquo; she addressed them.<br />Then Nikki turned her head back to me.<br />&ldquo;Balto, please open the windows and the doors, we need to air out the house. And try to wake up the others.&rdquo;<br /><br />I did what my girl told me to do. Gabriel and Thomas were up already, as I came back into the living room. Miguel and Jonathan were out of the bathroom by now and prepared breakfast for everyone, including some ham and eggs. Only Angelike was still sleeping on the couch. The feline looked so cute that I simply couldn&rsquo;t wake her up. Nikki, Raphael, and Svetlana joined us, dressed only in their underwear. That isn&rsquo;t a big thing, we all know how the others look without clothes. The reason is simple, we often share a changing room, and we have showered together after a few plays.<br />We had breakfast, listened a bit to the radio and the weather forecast.<br />Angelike woke up at around 9 o&#039;clock. <br />After the Bengal stood up, she turned her back to us and stretched her slender body. That way, we had a good view of the awesome marking in the shape of a dragon on her back. <br />Angelike then joined us for breakfast. It was a relaxed morning. Gabriel later prepared the meat for our BBQ, we helped to build up his grill, then our group sat down in a circle around the fireplace.<br /><br />Raphael then stepped forward and told us about an upcoming project for the Howling Musketeers:<br />&ldquo;Everyone, please listen. I know it has been some time, since we talked about a new project. First, I want to thank Nikki, that we can use this place for our meeting. The silence here, the fresh air, it is great. Last week, I talked to the principal Schaeffer. He told me about a festival in December, for which he intends to invite a few other theater groups. He said we should pick a new play, and I think we found a good one for us. It is a funny little musical called &ldquo;Mamma Mia!&rdquo;, which is based on the songs of the Swedish pop group ABBA. If everyone is ok with it, we will start the training as soon as possible. There is a movie by the same name, maybe we can watch that later today. I think it can help us to choose the most fitting role for everyone.&rdquo;<br /><br />All of us agreed to Raphael&#039;s plan. We then wanted to begin with the BBQ, but Jonathan asked us to stay for another moment. You can imagine why, but I want to write it down anyway:<br />&ldquo;Everyone, I wanted to use the opportunity to tell you something. As you all know, I am gay. And I finally found a partner, with which I have a relationship for a couple of weeks.&rdquo;<br />The other knocked on the wooden logs they were sitting on, only I didn&rsquo;t do so.<br />&ldquo;We kept this a secret, since my partner needed time to find himself. Today, something happened, and there is no need to hide it from you any longer.&rdquo;<br /><br />Miguel stood up slowly and took Jonathan&rsquo;s hand, while everyone looked at them. The fox continued:<br />&ldquo;Miguel and I are in love. This might surprise one or another, but I hope you can support us.&rdquo;<br /><br />Raphael stepped forward. <br />&ldquo;Johnathan, Miguel, I am certain that I speak for everyone here, if I say that we will always stand behind you two.&rdquo;<br /><br />While everyone stood up to congratulate the two, Angelike was still sitting on the log. She seemed to be sad.<br />Nikki, who saw how the Bengal was drawing lines in the sand with her paw, asked Miguel:<br />&ldquo;Miguel, I hope you don&rsquo;t mind me asking. But back in New York, after the competition, you couldn&rsquo;t take your eyes off Angelike. Since when you know that you are more into guys?&rdquo;<br />Miguel gulped, but tried to explain:<br />&ldquo;Well, Angelike and I were indeed together for two weeks or so. But it simply didn&rsquo;t feel right for me. I have never told anyone that I am more into boys. A part of me even denied it. Jonathan caught me one day, as I watched him taking a shower. We talked long after that and spent a lot of time together. And well, we fell in love.&rdquo;<br /><br />Nikki looked at the now crying Angelike. Seeing her fellow feline like that must have angered Nikki a bit.<br />&ldquo;And what about her? It appears that she really had feelings for you, why did you play with her like that?&rdquo;<br />All eyes rested on Miguel now, who tried to explain why he did what he did:<br />&ldquo;Please believe me if I say that I never wanted to play with Angelike&rsquo; feelings. I really thought that I would love her, but that wasn&rsquo;t true. Angelike, Jonathan, and I talked a long time about this. I am sorry, I never wanted to hurt anyone.&rdquo;<br /><br /><br />They talked for quite a while, and Angelike assured us that she was fine. It was just a bit painful for her to go through it again. <br />She really liked Miguel. But just like him, she felt soon after New York that something wasn&rsquo;t right between them. Angelike further explained to us that she never had a relationship so far, what made it even more painful for her that Miguel couldn&rsquo;t give her the love she was hoping for. She also told us how happy she is for Miguel and Jonathan, and that she will continue to focus on her education and not actively seek for a partner any time soon. <br />Nikki then invited her over to her place for a girl&#039;s night, what Angelike gladly accepted. And I know what some might think now. I doubt that Nikki had sexual intentions at this point.<br /><br />After Angelike stopped crying, Nikki had something else to tell the group. She stood up and spoke:<br />&ldquo;Please, I also have some news, which might be of interest to the group. Back in 2020, Balto and I visited a rock concert, after which we met Hazel and Johana, who are the kids of Holly Rhoads-Hunter. Some might know her and her music. Balto kept contact with them, and now they invited us over to their place. Therefore, Balto and I will fly to Detroit on Monday. Hazel told us that her mother maybe can give us some tips for a better performance.&rdquo;<br /><br />Some of our group seemed to have heard the name Holly Rhoads-Hunter for the first time. Gabriel, our big bear, walked over to Nikki. He acted like a school kid, like I had never seen him before. He grabbed Nikki with both hands, looked her deep in the eyes with a big smile on his face and spoke like a fangirl:<br />&ldquo;Holly Rhoads-Hunter? Holy crap, I am a big fan of her! You know, I was at that concert myself. It was so awesome. I tried to get an autograph, but I didn&rsquo;t have a backstage pass that day. Do you think you can ask her to sign a photo for me? Oh, and please ask her about her new movie, and if she plans any new songs or concerts. Please, you have to promise me that.&rdquo;<br /><br />Nikki and I had to laugh, what was a little irritating for Gabriel. Nikki then touched the cheek of the big bear while she answered him:<br />&ldquo;I promise, Gabriel.&rdquo;<br />Nikki giggled.<br />&ldquo;I have never seen you like that. I like that side of you. You are often far too serious, big guy.&rdquo;<br />Raphael joined the conversation.<br />&ldquo;Nikki, even if this isn&rsquo;t the intention of this trip. It would be great if you can get some tips or tricks from her. Especially after that fail with Ms. Abbas.&rdquo;<br />Nikki agreed with him.<br />&ldquo;I will see what we can do, Raphael. It would help us for sure.&rdquo;<br />Her look went over to me.<br />&ldquo;Especially for Balto here. This is a big chance to learn from a star. Maybe she can also convince him to eat more vegetables.&rdquo;<br /><br />Everyone laughed, while I growled a bit. Stupid vegetables. We wolves need our meat.<br />The rest of the day wasn&rsquo;t really worth it to talk about. We had a great BBQ, during which I had to fight with Miguel for the beef ribs. They were so tasty and tender. In the evening, we moved back inside the house, where we built up the karaoke machine to sing a few songs. Based on our next big project, we mostly chose ABBA songs like &lsquo;Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!&rsquo; (A Man After Midnight), &lsquo;Lay Your Love on Me&rsquo;, and &lsquo;Waterloo&rsquo;. Our singing session took until midnight. We were all so exhausted afterward.<br />But before we went to bed, we watched a few videos about the ABBA Musical. Well, at least I started to watch. I fell asleep after about twenty minutes during the first video.<br />When I woke up the next morning, I was lying in bed, naked, with my claws colored like a rainbow. There was no one in the room besides me. <br />I took my bathrobe from the hook by the door, then I slowly walked out of the bedroom. It was a rather cold morning for the end of June. The singing of the birds could be heard through the open door. I looked outside, where I spotted the others. <br />They were packing their stuff in their cars. As soon as they saw me, they began to laugh. Especially the girls. First, I didn&rsquo;t know why, but then Nikki told me to take a look into the rearview mirror of Gabriel&rsquo;s car. <br />Now I could see this big, pink bow in my hair. As the colored claws wouldn&rsquo;t have been enough. Angelike then explained to me that it is unwise to fall asleep during a sleepover. She gave me a hug, while she told me how cute I looked. I didn&rsquo;t respond to her, just removed the bow from my hair and walked back inside to get some breakfast. To be honest, I was in a bad mood. <br /><br />15 minutes later, I was just eating some cereals, Nikki and Angelike walked into the kitchen and sat down next to me at the table. My girlfriend placed her hand on my back. I felt her gently stroking me, but I didn&rsquo;t react to it. She tried to explain why they did this to me, that it was just meant as a little joke. Nikki also said that no one made any photos of it, so I don&rsquo;t have to worry that anyone would see me wearing a bow like a little girl. As my bowl was empty, I raised my head to look at the two girls and asked them:<br />&ldquo;So, no one will see that? No one will make fun of me because of it?&rdquo;<br />Nikki shook her head.<br />&ldquo;No, don&rsquo;t worry. Balto, we are all friends, do you really think that anyone of our group would want to hurt you?&rdquo;<br />Angelike touched my hand with hers.<br />&ldquo;Balto, you looked so cute while you were asleep. The nails were Johnathan&rsquo;s idea. And the bow, well, that was me. I am sorry. We thought it would be funny.&rdquo;<br />My eyes wandered from Angelike to Nikki, before I answered.<br />&ldquo;Ok. But can you please help me to get this off? I don&rsquo;t want mom or Hazel to see it. Besides, are the others still outside?&rdquo;<br />Nikki responded:<br />&ldquo;No, they are already gone. They all had plans for today, so they didn&rsquo;t want to lose time. Angelike will ride home with us later, and we will drop her off at her place. But until then, we will have a nice day together.&rdquo;<br />I tilted my head and looked at them. My imagination was going wild, as I looked at the two girls. I must have had a stupid expression in my face, since the girls began to laugh. Nikki then said:<br />&ldquo;No Balto, not that kind of nice. You should take a cold shower for your thoughts.&rdquo;<br /><br />Angelike laughed once more, while she tried to eat some bread. She choked and had to cough, while I giggled a bit. Nikki made herself some coffee, before we moved over to the couch, and Nikki switched on the TV. The cheetah searched through the channels for something worth watching. She stopped at the Science Channel, where they showed a documentary about Anthros. One of the scientists in it was Doctor Lucius Allister, the same man we met during our first stay in New York. He looked even older now than I remembered him. It was a surprise for me to see that he was still alive. The main themes of this interesting documentation were the past and current relations between Anthros and Humans. They improved during the last few years, but there is still much to do. They showed interviews with members of both sides, some of them were made in New York. There were people of every age, men, and women alike. Even some teenagers. They discussed their personal experiences, most of them positive, but there were also negatives ones. One old woman said that an Anthro once robbed her, and that she thinks we are all criminals. One interview showed a police officer, who said that the most common problem between Anthros and Humans is discrimination. But he made clear that this happens on both sides. I may have said it before, there are many stupid Anthros out there, who don&rsquo;t do us a favor with their behavior.<br />The documentation ended with a peaceful scene, showing Anthro and Human kids playing together. The narrator&rsquo; closing words were:<br /><br />&ldquo;There are still many issues and prejudices, if it comes to the relations between Humans and Anthros. We all need to work together, since we are all sharing this planet. We are not that different. All of us just want to live a life in peace and harmony. So, let us stop to look at the differences. Let us look at the similarities instead. Take a look at these kids. They don&rsquo;t seem to see any differences in each other. They just want to have fun together. We think that we could all an important lesson from them. A lesson humans should have learned long ago. How we look outside doesn&#039;t matter. Deep down, we are all the same.&rdquo;<br /><br />Angelike and Nikki both stood up and stretched, as the documentation was over. <br />We then decided to make a little walk through the woods, since the weather was just right for that. We grabbed our paw protectors and moved outside.<br />The wind blew gently through the trees. We heard the birds singing. Besides that, only the murmur of a small stream, which we passed after about half an hour, broke the silence. Angelike seemed to be amazed by the beauty of this place. But I didn&rsquo;t dare to ask her why. I didn&rsquo;t to disturb her thoughts. None of us said a word during this walk. We only listened to the surrounding nature.<br />Our walk took us another hour, before we came back to the house. Sadly, it was now time to pack our stuff together and go home. Angelike helped to close and secure all doors and windows, and to bring our stuff to Nikki&rsquo;s car. We then took our seats in the Nikkimobile, and my girl started the motor. Angelike was sitting in the passenger seat, and I was sitting in the back. First, we drove to the place of our teammate. She still lives with Raphael and Anna in this nice Apartment close to the College. <br />As the car stopped, Angelike looked at Nikki and said:<br />&ldquo;Thank you, Nikki. Thank you for letting me stay with you a little longer. The thing with Miguel was hard for me, I really had feelings for him. I&#039;m afraid I still have them. Seeing Raphael with Svetlana all the time isn&#039;t helping either.&rdquo;<br />I could hear Nikki&rsquo;s sigh. <br />&ldquo;I am so sorry that it didn&rsquo;t work out with you and Miguel. I am sure you will find a fitting partner, too. I mean, look at you. You are hot. I wonder why not every straight guy at college is after you.&rdquo;<br />I couldn&rsquo;t see the Bengal&rsquo;s face, but her voice sounded sad.<br />&ldquo;Thanks for the compliment, Nikki. For now, I am done with looking for a relationship. I mean, I can have fun without it.&rdquo;<br />That made me giggle, and I know that Nikki had her problems keeping a straight face at this point. She cleared her throat and answered:<br />&ldquo;Sure. Just be careful with that &ldquo;having fun&rdquo;-thing. A girl quickly gets a bad reputation. And believe me, that is something you wouldn&rsquo;t want to have.&rdquo;<br />Angelike became curious.<br />&ldquo;Did you ever have a bad reputation, Nikki? I only know you as the poster girl of the college.&rdquo;<br />She got Nikki now, and after she took a deep breath, my girl explained:<br />&ldquo;If you really want to know, yes. Back in High School, long before Balto and I became a couple, I was, how should I call it, easy to get. It wasn&rsquo;t for long, but long enough that boys only called me the &lsquo;Spotted Slut of Seppala High.&rsquo;<br />You can imagine that it wasn&rsquo;t a pleasure to hear that every day.&rdquo;<br /><br />Nikki never told me this detail of her time at High School. I wanted to say something, but I thought it might be better to remain silent in the back seat.<br />Angelike then turned around to me and placed her hand on my knee.<br />&ldquo;You two are such a great couple.&rdquo;<br /><br />I smiled at her, while she asked Nikki another rather personal question:<br />&ldquo;I hope you don&rsquo;t mind me asking, Nikki, but how is the sex with him?&rdquo;<br />My eyes became big in shock about this question, what made Nikki laughing.<br />&ldquo;Oh my, that is an unexpected question. Well, Balto is different from other the other boys I had. He is more into taking care of me, than in simply, you know, fucking me. He has a very talented tongue.&rdquo;<br />I just wanted to disappear. Since that wasn&rsquo;t possible, I just pulled up my knees and hid my face. The girls saw that, and gladly Nikki stopped at this point. I heard her saying:<br />&ldquo;But maybe we should talk about that in a more comfortable place. Hm, how about you come and visit us, after we are back from Ann Arbor?&rdquo;<br />Angelike seemed to be in a happier mood by now.<br />&ldquo;Sure, that would be cool. We three could have a pajama party! I promise that we won&rsquo;t color your claws again, Balto. Well, I better let you two go home now, you said that you still need to pack your stuff. See you two later.&rdquo;<br /><br />She stepped out, waved at us once more, then she disappeared inside the building. I changed to the passenger seat before Nikki re-started the car, and then we continued our way home.<br />Nikki parked the car in front of their house. We gave each other a hug and parted ways, as we both had to pack our stuff. Back home, my mother, helped me find a trolley for the upcoming journey. After we found it, mom helped me to pack everything I would need. Underwear, clothes, Little Balto, paw protectors, a set of covers for blanket and pillow. I don&rsquo;t like buttons, so I prefer having my own bedsheets, which have a zipper, with me. Mom had already prepared a bag with my medics for me. She also gave me a detailed list of my allergies, next to a letter, in which she wrote that she allowed me to travel with Nikki. <br />My passport was the last item which wandered into my trolley. I was set for the journey. Mommy and I spent the next few hours talking, while we watched a few episodes of Lucifer. In one of those episodes we watched, God himself came to earth. Every time he appeared, all the people around him began to sing and dance. It is by far my favorite episode. <br />The actor of Lucifer has such a cool singing voice.<br />It was past midnight, as I went to bed. Mom made me some hot milk with honey, which she placed on my nightstand before sitting down next to me on my bed.<br />As long as I remember, mom made me this before bedtime. She seemed to be sad, as she gently patted my head. Concerned by this, I asked her:<br />&ldquo;Mom, is everything ok?&rdquo;<br />She nodded and gave me a smile.<br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t worry, Balto. It is just still hard for me to let you go for a longer time. I will miss you.&rdquo;<br />She sighed.<br />&ldquo;It simply isn&rsquo;t the same without you here.&rdquo;<br />I nearly jumped up and hugged my mother tight.<br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t be sad, mom. Should I stay here? Nikki would understand it.&rdquo;<br />She smiled at me once again while she caressed my cheek.<br />&ldquo;No, Balto. It is only one week, and then you will be back. I demand many photos. Understood? I love you, my son.&rdquo;<br /><br />She gave me a kiss on my cheek, we talked a bit further, while I drank my milk. Then it was time to sleep. She tucked me in, before she slowly walked outside and turned off the light. <br />It was dark in my room, not a sound was to be heard. I was alone with my thoughts.<br />In a few hours, I would sit on an airplane for the very first time. We will visit our friends in Ann Arbor, hopefully have a good time there. I shook my head to silence my brain, I wanted to sleep. The sandman finally came, and I felt into a deep slumber.<br /><br /><br />Part 3: Ann Arbor<br /><br /><br />Section 1: The Journey<br /><br />Nikki&rsquo;s voice woke me up early in the morning.<br />&ldquo;Balto, wake up! We need to drive to the airport in an hour. Your mother prepared breakfast for you, so get up, Fluffy!&rdquo;<br />I yawned loudly while Nikki almost pulled me out of my bed. I brushed my teeth and had breakfast with mom. At the table, we talked about the journey, and mom checked my luggage once more. It was about 8 o&rsquo;clock when we had to leave. In front of Mr. Kofi&rsquo;s car, Mom gave me a tight hug and a few more words on my way:<br />&ldquo;Be a good boy, Balto. Do what Nicole and your hosts tell you to do, behave, and don&rsquo;t forget to call me as soon as you arrive there. And Balto, if you want to come home, don&rsquo;t hesitate to tell it to Nicole, or me. Do you understand?&rdquo;<br />I hugged my mother again.<br />&ldquo;Sure, mom. I will miss you.&rdquo;<br />She smiled, and gently touched my cheek.<br />&ldquo;I will miss you too, Balto. Now go. Have a nice time there. I love you.&rdquo;<br /><br />She stood behind me when I got into the car. The drive to the airport went by quickly, as the highway was not as crowded as Mr. Kofi might have expected. We arrived at Buffalo International Airport after about 45 minutes. Mr. Kofi walked with us to the check-in and helped us to get our boarding passes. Thanks to him, I didn&rsquo;t need the letter gave me in case the staff at the airport had any questions. After saying goodbye to Mr. Kofi, my girl and I walked without much haste through the long corridors to our gate. For my taste, we arrived here far too early. Our flight was scheduled for 10:08, what meant that we had almost an hour to wait. Fortunately, we found a restaurant close to the gate, where Nikki bought us something to eat. <br /><br />We spent the next 30 minutes with talking and eating. Nikki had at least three cups of coffee. <br />And then, we heard a message through the speakers that our plane was ready for boarding. We walked over to the gate, under the watchful eyes of a few human passengers. I heard them whispering to each other, and then an excited-looking boy came up to us and pointed at Nikki and me. The language he spoke surprised me, as it wasn&rsquo;t English. It sounded more like German.<br />&ldquo;Hundi! Katze!&rdquo;<br />Nikki and I waved to the boy, who seemingly had never seen an Anthro before. Nikki&rsquo;s tail twitched. This situation seemed to make her a little nervous. After a minute, the parents came and took their child by the hand. His mother excused her son, then they left.<br />The next thing I heard was the lady at the counter.<br />&ldquo;Ms. Nicole Kofi, Balto Star, please come forward to the counter.&rdquo;<br /><br />Nikki looked surprised, took my hand, and we went to the front. When we got to the counter, she spoke to this lady:<br />&ldquo;I am Nicole Kofi, this is Balto Star. Is there something wrong?&rdquo;<br />The lady smiled and shook her head.<br />&ldquo;No, Ma&rsquo;am. This is just for security reasons. We are ordered to double-check, whenever a minor travels without its parents. Young man, can I please see your parents&#039; contact information?&rdquo;<br /><br />I gave her my mother&rsquo;s letter, and as everything seemed fine, we were allowed to take our seats in the airplane.<br />We had our seats in row 19. Nikki gave me the window seat, what was pretty cool. That way, I could look outside. Well, at least I could see one of the wings. While the minutes until take-off passed, I became more and more nervous.<br />I tried to calm myself down by running the fingers of my right hand over the knuckles of my left. I sometimes do that when I&#039;m nervous. Nikki saw this, leaned over, and whispered in my ear: <br />&ldquo;Balto, there&#039;s no need to be nervous. Everything will be fine.&rdquo;<br /><br />She hugged me and smiled while the pilot introduced himself. The safety instructions followed as the plane slowly taxied to the runway. I heard the turbines powering up, and only seconds later I was pressed back into the seat. My stomach rebelled, I felt that I was about to throw up. Maybe that second breakfast wasn&rsquo;t such a bright idea. Nikki looked at me, and quickly gave me a barf bag. To make it short, I made good use of it. Our plane finally reached its flight altitude and became steadier, what calmed down my stomach. The barf bag was full by now anyway. Nikki patted my back, and a flight assistant came to me. He asked kindly while he reached for the barf bag to throw it away:<br />&ldquo;Is everything all right? Let me take care of this. You can go to the restroom now to freshen up and I will bring you some water. Please, should you need anything else, just press this button, ok?&rdquo;<br /><br />Nikki answered for me, as I was already on my way to the restroom. I had to get this awful taste out of my mouth. <br />It took me a few minutes, until I felt better and walked back to my seat. After I sat back down, Nikki helped me to fasten my seatbelt. The next moment, this flight attended reached me a cup with water. I turned my head and looked out of the window for the rest of the flight, watching the clouds drift by and immersing myself in my thoughts.<br />The look down to earth made me feel small. Unimportant. I thought about my mother, who must have been at work by now. What might she think about at the moment? I also thought about Nikki and me. Will our relationship last for our whole life? Will we manage to become actors in the future, or will we end up becoming something entirely different? Nikki could be a great race driver. Or a model. A teacher, maybe. And me? Hm, don&rsquo;t know.<br />Then there was another thought. If we are up here in the sky, where is heaven? Where is this place to which the good people go after they die? I looked out of window.<br />Again, a sudden voice dragged me out of my thoughts.<br />&ldquo;Be careful, my boy. Those who search for heaven, might never see it.&rdquo;<br /><br />I looked around, but there was no one around who could have said that. Nikki had fallen asleep in her seat, and the flight attendees were too far away. The voice sounded familiar, like, no. That would be impossible. I shook my head. Was I losing my mind? Why did I hear that voice? Or why do I keep seeing this human Peter? Maybe I should speak with mom about this when we come back home. It frightens me, to be honest.<br />As we were about to land in Detroit, the pilot&rsquo;s voice woke up Nikki from her nap. For me, this was the worst part of the whole flight. Even worse than the take-off. Especially the moment when the tires touched the ground was horrible for me.<br />Shortly after the plane came to a hold, we were allowed to leave it. Our trolleys were stored underneath our seats, so we didn&rsquo;t have to wait until others had taken their stuff out. We left the plane to make our way to the arrival&#039;s hall. There we looked for Hazel or Johana, but none of them was to be seen. I almost wanted to call Hazel, but then Nikki saw a man holding up a sign with our names written on it. It was a canine with yellow fur, his hair was tied in a ponytail, and a beard. Well, it looked like one. So far, I had only seen humans with beards. My girl took my hand, and together we walked towards this somehow funny-looking man.<br />As we were close enough, Nikki raised her paw, waving at him. He made a few steps in our direction, until we were close enough to talk. As usually, Nikki spoke for us.<br />&ldquo;Hello, I am Nikki, this is Balto. Are you Hazel&rsquo;s and Johana&rsquo;s father?&rdquo;<br />The man&rsquo;s voice sounded warm, friendly.<br />&ldquo;I sure am. Name is Joe Hunter. But please call me Joe. Nice to meet you two. Hazel and Johana told me a few things about you. Now come, we will make a quick a stop at my pastry shop to pick up some sweets for later. We will have a BBQ today to celebrate the 4th of July, Johana is currently taking care of the meat. And Hazel is helping her mother in the kitchen.&rdquo; <br />He turned his head to me, while we made our way to his car.<br />&ldquo;Hazel told me that you like Spareribs, Balto. I think you will love our special recipe. And Nikki, Johana has prepared several salads and fine steaks. Hazel and my wife both love a good steak, I hope that meets your taste too. By the way, is Nikki short for something?&rdquo;<br />Nikki giggled and smiled at Joe.<br />&ldquo;Yeah. My name is Nicole, but only my parents and Balto&rsquo;s mother call me that. All my friends call me Nikki. About the food, Balto loves Spareribs. I hope you can forgive him for not talking much, he is often a bit shy with people he doesn&rsquo;t know.&rdquo;<br />That made Hazel&rsquo;s father laugh.<br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t worry, champ. I was about the same, as I was in your age. Balto, you don&rsquo;t have to fear anything, no one will bite you. Well, besides Hazel, maybe. She also loves ribs and will fight for them.&rdquo;<br /><br />His words made me smile. Nikki and Mr. Hunter saw that, and I felt Nikki&rsquo;s hand on my back, as we finally reached the car. It was a big, black EUV.<br />We put our luggage in the trunk, then sat in the back seat. I was happy that Nikki was sitting next to me. I cuddled up to her, since I still felt a bit uncomfortable. Nikki put her arm around me, holding me close to her. Hazel&rsquo;s father and Nikki continued their conversation on our way to his pastry shop, which we reached about 40 minutes later. The car was parked, and we went with Mr. Hunter inside his fancy looking shop. There were fine pastries, cakes, donuts, also candy in all imaginable colors. It looked like the wet dream of cubs and the nightmare of all dentists. Nikki was waiting with me at the counter, while Mr. Hunter put some of the sweet stuff into a transport box. I couldn&rsquo;t take my eyes off one of the big donuts behind the glass counter. <br />It was with white chocolate on the outside and filled with vanilla cream. That was what was standing on the little sign in front of it. I had never seen a donut that big before. Its appearance alone watered my mouth. I must have looked like someone who hadn&#039;t eaten in weeks because Nikki gave me a gentle nudge with her elbow.<br />&ldquo;Balto, you are drooling,&rdquo; she told me.<br />Sadly, she said that a bit too loud. Mr. Hunter turned his head towards us and began to laugh.<br />&ldquo;Balto, haven&rsquo;t you eaten something in the morning?&rdquo;<br />Nikki couldn&rsquo;t hold herself back.<br />&ldquo;Oh, he did. He enjoyed it so much that he let it go through his head again during the flight.&rdquo;<br /><br />Now everyone laughed. The costumers, co-workers, everyone was looking at me. <br />It was such a shameful situation, that I wanted to run out of the store. But Nikki held me by my arm.<br />&ldquo;Balto, don&rsquo;t be like that. I was just joking. In fact, I did the same on my first flight. With the difference that I didn&rsquo;t use the barf bag. The whole area around us was full of you know what. What I want to say is that you don&rsquo;t have to be ashamed of that. Come, I will buy you that donut. But you must share it with me, it really looks delicious.&rdquo;<br />That was a deal you could accept.<br />Nikki took out her purse, but Mr. Hunter denied taking any money from her.<br />&ldquo;You two are my guests.&rdquo;<br />He looked at his employee.<br />&ldquo;Please wrap it up for them, and give the poor boy a napkin, ok? And don&rsquo;t forget to close the shop in half an hour. I wish you a nice holiday. Tomorrow at 8 am, I will pick you up in front of the shop, so we can drive to the seminar together.&rdquo;<br />The employee took the donut out and wrapped it up partly, before he gave it to Nikki. She first let me take a bite, before tasting it herself. It was like biting into a piece of heaven. <br />Well, perhaps that was because I was starving at that moment. Nikki and I finished the donut on the way back to the car. It didn&rsquo;t have a chance. Now it was time to drive to Rhoads-Hunter Manor. Well, they never called it that themselves, but I think it is a fitting name for this palace of a house.<br />&nbsp;<br />Section 2: The Home of a Rock Star<br /><br /><br />Monday:<br /><br /><br />The ride to Hazel&rsquo;s and Johana&rsquo;s home went by smoothly. After a short drive, we reached a large gate that opened automatically when the car was close enough to it. Following the gate was a long road which led to the house. It is a modern looking, 2-storey palace with three garages. It looked fabulous. Mr. Hunter parked the car in front of one of the garages, we stepped out, took our trolleys off the trunk, and followed Mr. Hunter to the front door. I got quite nervous and tucked my tail between my legs. <br />Even here, we could smell the delicious food that would be served later for dinner. Mr. Hunter opened the door for us, then he directed Nikki and me upstairs to the guestroom. So far, we didn&rsquo;t see or heard anything from Hazel or Johana. Mr. Hunter told us to make ourselves comfortable and come downstairs when we were ready. As soon as he left us alone, Nikki began to look around in the room. It was decorated with pictures of concerts, there even was a guitar hanging on the wall. On the big bed we found towels, two bathrobes, and the WLAN password written on a little welcome note. We also had a PC with a webcam in our room, which was especially pleasing for me. This would certainly make it much easier for us to have video conversations with mom.<br />After we had put our things away, I sat down on the bed, with my eyes on the floor. Nikki noticed this, sat down to my right, and then placed her left arm around my shoulders.<br />&ldquo;What is wrong, Balto? This place is great, we will have a great dinner later, and you look like someone died,&rdquo; she said in calming voice.<br />I mumbled:<br />&ldquo;I miss my mom.&rdquo;<br />Nikki caressed my head and replied:<br />&ldquo;Balto, have you written her a message after we arrived? I bet she misses you too.&rdquo;<br /><br />I really forgot to write mom a message, after we landed in Detroit. Since the start in Buffalo, I haven&#039;t even looked at my mobile anymore.<br />When I took it out of my pocket, I saw five messages and two missed calls. The calls were from Hazel, but the messages all came from my mother. The first was about how the flight was, in the second she asked if everything was okay, and the other three sounded like she was getting more and more worried about my whereabouts.<br />I quickly wrote a long message back, in which I tried to explain why I didn&rsquo;t reply earlier. Besides that, I told her about the flight, this tasty donut we ate and how big the place here is. But most importantly, I said that I missed her. My mother replied that she misses me too, and that she would have to tell me something in the evening.<br />Shortly after I received this puzzling message, we heard a knocking at the door, followed by Hazel&#039;s voice asking: <br />&ldquo;Balto, Nikki? Can I come in? Or are you busy?&rdquo;<br />Nikki was amused by this question.<br />&ldquo;You can come in, Hazel. We were just about to go downstairs.&rdquo;<br /><br />The door opened, and a second later Hazel entered the room, opened her arms, and came at us with such a speed that she pushed Nikki and me over. We were lucky to sit on the bed at that moment. The young canine gave us a tight hug while her tail went crazy. I swear, she was almost floating, while she yelled happily:<br />&ldquo;It is so cool to finally see you two again!&rdquo; <br />We were both overwhelmed by this stormy welcome.<br />After Hazel had loosened her embrace a little, I said quietly to her:<br />&ldquo;Hello, Hazel. We are also happy to see you again.&rdquo;<br />Nikki added to this:<br />&ldquo;Indeed. Where is Johana? Is he still busy with the meat?&rdquo;<br />Hazel had to laugh and then answered with a joke:<br />&ldquo;Maybe his own *meat*.&rdquo;<br />The way she emphasized meat made me laugh. Hazel continued, after we both calmed down:<br />&ldquo;Food is almost ready, which is why mom said I should get you. Oh, Kirara and her dad are also here today.&rdquo;<br /><br />Then we heard a female voice from downstairs:<br />&ldquo;Hazel, Balto, Nikki, are you coming? Food is ready.&rdquo;<br />Nikki looked nervous because she knew that voice very well.<br />Hazel, while still sitting on my lap, answered the woman in a somehow disappointed tone:<br />&ldquo;Yes, mom. We are coming.&rdquo;<br /><br />When she got off me, I was able to take a closer look at Hazel. She was wearing a belly free top and shorts. A sexy look, but not too sexy. Nikki and I stood up from the bed as well. My girl took my hand, and I could feel how she was shaking. We followed Hazel down the stairs. With every step we made, the voices out of the nearby kitchen became louder. I could recognize the voices of Johana and Kirara, which I knew from some of our video chats. There was another male voice I didn&#039;t recognize, then Mr. Hunter and of course the voice that had called us before, which belonged to Hazel&#039;s mother.<br />Hazel, as she was walking ahead of us, entered the kitchen first. I gasped surprised when Nikki pulled me back. I looked at my nervously panting girl.<br />Hazel came back to see what was wrong. Our friend looked at us and signed, that we should come in. This was shortly followed by her taking my hand and pulling me inside the kitchen. It was big, and had a dining area right next to it, in which I saw a large table with all kinds of food on it. Nikki was still standing outside, while I shyly waved my hand at all the people in that room. I stuttered:<br />&ldquo;H&hellip; Hey there. My name is Balto. It is&hellip;nice to meet you. Thank you for allowing us to visit your home.&rdquo;<br />Hazel&rsquo;s mother, Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter, came closer to me. My tail was tucked between my legs again, what seemed to amuse her. In a warm and friendly voice, she said to me:<br />&ldquo;Balto, you don&rsquo;t have to be scared. No one here will hurt you. I am Holly. So, where is Nikki?&rdquo;<br />I pointed at the door.<br />&ldquo;She is standing outside the door. Nikki is a big fan of you and your music.&rdquo;<br />Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter looked at the door.<br />&ldquo;Come in, Nikki. There is no need for you to hide from me girl.&rdquo;<br />My cheetah shyly entered the room. Her tail was twitching, while she kept her eyes on the floor. When she was standing right behind me, she nervously tried to introduce herself:<br />&ldquo;Hello. Sorry, I am so nervous. I just wanted to say that love your music. I have listening to it for many years.&rdquo;<br />Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter reached us her hand. First to Nikki, then to me.<br />&ldquo;Nikki, Balto, welcome to our home. Hazel and Johana have told me a few things about you, and I must say that I am looking forward to getting to know you better. I hope you will enjoy our Independence Day BBQ. We have ribs, steak, we also have salads, and drinks are over there. After dinner, I would like to hear more about both of you. Oh, and before I forget it, let me introduce you to my family.&rdquo;<br />She pointed at Kirara and the man next to her.<br />&ldquo;This is Kirara, her father Damien, and I think you already know Johana, and my husband Joe. Rory, our youngest child, is still playing in his room. Please take a seat, while I get him.&rdquo;<br />We sat down at the large, solid wooden table on which these delicious smelling dishes were placed. My mouth watered as I looked over the table. Hazel was sitting on my left side, Nikki on my right, and Johana took the free seat next to Nikki. Kirara sat on the opposite side of the table, next to her father, Joe, and little Rory. The seat on the table&rsquo;s head was taken by Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter herself. She opened the feast with a few words:<br />&ldquo;I am grateful to have the opportunity of celebrating this 4th of July with my dear family and our new friends Balto and Nikki. I wish you all a good appetite.&rdquo;<br /><br />I watched how the others filled their plates with food. Hazel next to me took a big piece of ribs, also some chicken wings and fries. She really must have been hungry. Nikki took a steak, right before she turned her head towards me.<br />&ldquo;Balto, don&rsquo;t you want something to eat? Wait, I bet you want some ribs.&rdquo;<br /><br />Nikki then filled my plate with some fantastic-looking food, including ribs, wings, and wedges. <br />The taste was even better than the smell. I finished my plate rather quickly, since it was so good, but was still hungry afterward. Now, mom always tells me to be modest when I am invited for dinner at someone else&#039;s place. That is why I didn&rsquo;t dare to take seconds. Mr. Hunter saw me sitting behind the empty plate and asked if I was full already. I shook my head and explained what my mother had told me, to which he smiled.<br />He complimented my mother&#039;s parenting. But he also told me to eat as much as I wanted because there was more than enough food here for everyone.<br /><br />This dinner took two hours, I cannot even describe how full we all were afterward. Moving became an impossible task, which is why we stayed seated and only talked for some time.<br />Another hour later, Nikki wanted to go for a little walk outside. Hazel and Johana happily agreed when Nikki asked if they would show us around their garden. It was such a beautiful piece of land. We saw several apple-, peach-, and cherry trees. Even a strawberry field, which was Nikki&rsquo;s favorite. As you know, she has a thing for strawberries. There also was a big pond in with Koi fish. Johana explained that their mother often comes here to relax after a long tour. Later, they showed us more of the house, including their mother&rsquo;s studio in the cellar. At this point, it was already about 11 pm. Nikki and I both yawned loudly.<br /><br />My cheetah then told Johana and Hazel that we were exhausted from this extraordinary dinner and the walk around the property and would therefore like to go to bed. <br />Nikki and I said good night to our hosts and wished Mr. Hunter much fun for the seminar he wanted to visit the next day. Afterward, we went upstairs to our room. Nikki helped me pull my covers onto the blanket and pillow, then we stripped naked, lay down and turned off the light. I heard Nikki breathing and mumbling, she still seemed excited that we were allowed to be here. I turned on my side and looked at her: <br />&ldquo;Nikki, is everything ok?&rdquo;<br />She cuddled up close to me, giving me a little kiss.<br />&ldquo;Sure, Fluffy. This is so amazing. We are staying in the house of my idol.&rdquo;<br /><br />Honestly, I was tired and not in the mood for a conversation, so I didn&rsquo;t respond to that. I only put my arm around my girl and yawned. I had my eyes closed for only five minutes, as a sudden sound from outside startled Nikki and me. It sounded like someone had dropped something in front of our room&rsquo;s door. Nikki turned the light back on, stood up and looked outside, but there was no one there. She shrugged and rejoined me in the bed, after she had locked the door and switched off the lights again. We cuddled up close once more, closed our eyes and fell asleep.<br /><br /><br />Tuesday:<br /><br /><br />The morning began with the lovely sound of singing birds. A look at my mobile showed that it was 8 am. There was also a missed call and several messages from my mother. I was so tired yesterday, I totally forgot to call her. Stupid me. I wrote her an excuse, told her a little about yesterday and why I didn&rsquo;t call her. Fortunately, she understood that. Then I checked on Nikki. My girl was still sleeping, without a blanket to hide her slender body. I watched how her breasts moved up and down and how her paws twitched sporadically, it was funny for me to watch.<br />I placed my hand on her belly, moved it slowly over the short fur. A soft purr could be heard from the sleeping feline, right before she stretched her body and opened her eyes. She greeted me with a smile:<br />&ldquo;Good morning, Fluffy. Did you sleep well?&rdquo;<br />Gently, she placed her right hand on my belly and moved it down from there until she had something stiff in her hand. I didn&#039;t recognize my morning wood up to that moment. Nikki whispered:<br />&ldquo;It seems that someone else is awake too.&rdquo;<br />My girl began to stroke my hard member. The same time, she reached between her slightly spread legs with her free hand. My cheetah rubbed her clit, moaned, and tightened her grip around my precum-dripping member. She then ordered me to sit on her belly, what I did with pleasure. This position made it easier for her to jerk my cock. The feeling was incredible. I couldn&rsquo;t resist humping her hand, while my knot slowly grew and pressed against her hand with every thrust I made. I placed my hands to the right and left of Nikki&#039;s head, moaning with pleasure and delight as my girl increased the pace at which she jerked me off.<br />Nikki grinned at me.<br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t hold it back, doggy. Give your kitty some milk,&rdquo; the cheetah whispered while her look was fixated on my cock.<br />Even if I had wanted, I couldn&rsquo;t have held it back. After one last thrust, I shot my warm seed in the direction of my lusty feline. I was panting and giggled when I saw Nikki&rsquo;s face after my orgasm. <br />It was covered all over with my sperm. Nikki looked happy when she said:<br />&ldquo;Good doggy. Now be a charm and clean my face. I can&rsquo;t leave the room like that.&rdquo;<br />I looked around for a towel, but when I tried to get up, Nikki stopped me with the words:<br />&ldquo;No, do it with your tongue. Lick your puppy juice off my face, and then kiss me.&rdquo;<br />It wasn&#039;t the first time I had to lick my semen off Nikki, so I didn&rsquo;t hesitate to follow her order.<br />I lowered myself down to lick slowly over her throat, her cheeks, her forehead, and her sweet muzzle. I tried to get every drop of my juice off her cute face, before I raised my head to look into her beautiful eyes. Nikki touched my cheek with her right hand.<br />&ldquo;Now, kiss me.&rdquo;<br />I pressed my lips on hers. During this sensual kiss, we both opened our mouth to let our tongues play with each other. Nikki purred while she tasted and swallowed parts of my cum. But then, Nikki pushed my back. With a big grin of her wet face, she said in a seductive voice:<br />&ldquo;My tasty wolf. Come, let us take a shower, before we go downstairs.&rdquo;<br /><br />We stood up and covered ourselves in the bathrobes our host had provided us with. Nikki unlocked the door, and we walked over to the bathroom. Inside it, we took off the robes again. This bathroom looked so modern. It had a whirlpool with LED lights around it, and a big shower cabin with a radio inside. Nikki opened the cabin&#039;s door and gave me a sign.<br />&ldquo;Hope in, doggy,&rdquo; she commanded me with a friendly smile.<br /><br />I stepped inside, followed by my girl, then Nikki turned on the water and we began a long, relaxing shower. My kitty cat first helped me to wash my back, my tights, and my butt. <br />She then asked me to place my hands on the cabin&#039;s wall, knelt behind me and took care of my paws. First the left, then the right one. Her hands felt so good while she massaged my pads one by one. I had to bite my lips. Otherwise, someone would have heard me moaning for sure. I enjoyed as her hands slowly wandered up my legs. My sheath soon began to swell. It didn&rsquo;t take long until the tip of my penis showed itself once more. Nikki squeezed my swollen sheath, pulled it back a bit. The feeling of her touching my growing member with her fingers was so arousing.<br />Suddenly, I heard her giggling, what made me wonder.<br />&ldquo;What&rsquo;s so funny, Nikki?&rdquo;<br />Nikki looked around, then replied:<br />&ldquo;Oh, I was just thinking about taking a photo of your cock and sending it to Hazel. You know how badly she wants to have sex with you. What do you think?&rdquo;<br />I just wanted her to continue, since it felt good what she did before this talk about a photo of my genitals.<br />&ldquo;Please, can you just go on?&rdquo;<br />Nikki sighed.<br />&ldquo;Oh, does my doggy wish to mark his kitty again? Well, ok. Turn around.&rdquo;<br /><br />I gladly followed this command. My hard cock slapped against Nikki&rsquo;s nose, what caused her to giggle. The water blurred my sight a bit, but I could clearly see a figure looking at us from outside the shower cabin. I startled, as I spotted our watcher. Nikki was just about to take my cock into her mouth and was rather surprised about my reaction.<br />&ldquo;What is it? This isn&rsquo;t the first time I have given you a blowjob.&rdquo;<br />I pointed outside.<br />&ldquo;There is someone watching us.&rdquo;<br /><br />Nikki turned off the water, opened the door and looked outside. The bathroom door was open, but there was no one else in the room anymore. She only found a pair of panties on the floor. We could tell from their size that they belonged to Hazel. Nikki grinned and said:<br />&ldquo;I guess or voyeur forgot something. Wait a second, Balto.&rdquo;<br /><br />I was a bit clueless, as Nikki left the room. She came back a moment later, with her mobile in hand. <br />My member was still standing, she took a photo, and sent it to Hazel with the words:<br />&ldquo;I just wanted to let you suck it. Sad, you ran away. Oh, and you forgot your panties.&rdquo;<br /><br />Nikki chuckled as she showed me what she wrote. I only shook my head.<br />&ldquo;That is mean. Can we finish our shower now?&rdquo;<br />The feline placed her phone on a shelf, before she rejoined me in the shower cabin. Sadly, this interruption caused my member to withdraw back into its sheath. Nikki seemed to be a bit disappointed, and continued with cleaning my back, front, and at the end, my hair. She even gave me a little head massage, which I particularly enjoyed.<br />After I was springtime fresh, at least that is what was standing on the shampoo bottle, it was Nikki&rsquo;s turn.<br />She just asked me to be careful with her hair as she didn&#039;t want to wash it this time.<br /><br />I knelt in front of my girl, she presented me her left paw and spread her toes. I took the shampoo and rubbed some of it into her short fur, and between her soft beans. Nikki moaned, as I massaged her sensitive paw. She then switched to the right one, which I took care of just as I did with the left one. The next step were Nikki&rsquo;s long legs. Again, I began with the left one. Her calf, up to the knee, the upper leg. The same on the right leg. Nikki purred loudly under my treatment. After I was done with her lower regions, I stood up and took the shampoo back into my hands. With a big blob of it, I began to massage her back. I could hear her claws on the tiles, she enjoyed this just as much as I did.<br />But we weren&rsquo;t done yet, I spared the best for the end. Her firm little butt. When Nikki felt my hands touching her, she purred and positioned herself a little more wide-legged for me to give me easier access. A lustfully moaned &ldquo;use your tongue&rdquo; was the next command Nikki gave me. I knelt down behind her again and sniffed her backside. Nikki used her hands to spread her cheeks, presenting me her little backdoor on a silver platter. My muzzle came closer to her, her scent so tantalizing that I almost lost control of myself.<br />I began to lick over my girl&rsquo;s butthole. In slow, long turns at first, but my pace soon increased as Nikki pressed herself against my tongue. She moaned so loud that she had to cover her mouth with her left hand. <br />Her reactions to my tongue play surprised me a little, but also spurred me on to go deeper and explore the inside of her sweet butt. When I moved my head back for a moment to take a breath, I noticed that my girl was rubbing her wet pussy with her right hand. I sunk my muzzle back between her buttocks, to stick my tongue deep inside her backdoor. Nikki&rsquo;s breathing soon became faster, she sure was close. And only seconds later, my lusty feline screamed in lust and pleasure. My girl used her left hand to muffle her sounds. Nikki&#039;s legs were trembling, and she was panting heavily after her climax. It took her a moment to catch her breath, then she slowly turned around and looked down at me, as I was still kneeling in front of her on the floor of the shower cubicle.<br />&ldquo;Good boy, Balto. Now let&rsquo;s get some breakfast,&rdquo; she suggested, still panting.<br /><br />This was a bit disappointing for me, as you might imagine. But at least Nikki had her -share of fun. My feline helped me up, then we left the shower to dry up. Afterward, we rushed back to our room to get dressed.<br />Nikki took a black bra, panties, a black crop top and a matching skirt. I decided to just wear shorts and my Jurassic Park shirt. <br />Hand in hand, we walked down the stairs to the kitchen, where we were met by Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter. You should have seen Nikki&rsquo;s eyes, as she spotted her idol that morning. They became as big as the spotlights of her car. This was because Hazel&rsquo;s mother was only wearing panties and a thin top. She sure looked sexy. <br />Nikki seemed to have some sort of system crash. She didn&rsquo;t move anymore, after she had seen her idol like that. Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter chuckled as she saw me giving Nikki a gentle nudge to reboot her. Our hostess then offered us breakfast by saying:<br />&ldquo;Good morning, you two. I hope that you slept well. Nikki, do you want some coffee? There are fresh buns, and we also have cereals over there. Balto, you want to drink something?&rdquo;<br />My tail wagged, as I smelled the fresh buns. I gathered my courage and asked for my favorite drink, <br />&ldquo;Can I have some cocoa?&rdquo;<br />Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter reached for a metal box and gave me a smile.<br />&ldquo;Sure thing, sweetheart. Oh, and Nikki, you look great. I like your top, and your legs are stunning. I bet the boys are after you at college.&rdquo;<br />Nikki was flattered by these words and still couldn&#039;t take her eyes off our host as we sat down at the table. She replied to the compliment Hazel&rsquo;s mom gave her: <br />&ldquo;Yeah, maybe a few. Oh, you also look great. I mean, your body, your fur, your butt.&rdquo;<br />Nikki was shocked at her words and put her hands over her muzzle to shut herself up, while Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter and I started laughing. <br />&ldquo;I am so sorry, I didn&rsquo;t want, I didn&rsquo;t mean to&hellip; damn.&rdquo;<br />Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter placed her hand on Nikki&rsquo;s shoulder, after she placed two cups, one with coffee for Nikki and one with cocoa for me, on the table.<br />&ldquo;It is ok, Nikki. Don&rsquo;t worry. You should see some of the dirty messages my fans write on my social media pages after my concerts. The woman who is taking care of these pages for me once showed me a few. I tell you, a number of these so-called fans should get help, or at least take a cold shower. I am sorry for making you feel uncomfortable, I am just used to not wearing more in the morning, especially in summer.&rdquo;<br />Nikki could smile a bit again by now and replied,<br />&ldquo;It is ok. I run around naked at home too, same goes for my mom. I mean, it is home, so who should care. It is just, well, you are my idol. I am sorry for how I have reacted.&rdquo;<br />I enjoyed my cocoa, while I listened to that conversation. Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter joined us at the table after she took herself some coffee.<br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t worry about it, my dear. Enjoy your breakfast. By the way, what have you planned for today?&rdquo;<br />Nikki became nervous once more when she answered,<br />&ldquo;Well, Balto and I thought that you maybe could give us some tips to improve our singing and acting skills. Only if it&#039;s not too much to ask for, of course.&rdquo;<br />Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter quickly checked her phone, before she replied to Nikki&rsquo;s request.<br />&ldquo;Sure, we can do that. My sound engineer will be over soon. We want to do some test recordings for a new song and then I can have look at you two. What kind of songs do you normally sing?&rdquo;<br />Nikki, delighted by this answer, replied:<br />&ldquo;We mainly sing love songs, as well as pieces from films, plays and musicals. We mainly focus on theater, as we would like to become actors later on.&rdquo;<br />Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter leaned back in her chair.<br />&ldquo;Actors? Movie or theater?&rdquo;<br />My girl slowly became more confident in the way she talked to our hostess.<br />&ldquo;In theater. See, we are in a theater group, and we all aim to become professionals one day. We want to stay together as long as possible.&rdquo;<br />Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter nodded.<br />&ldquo;A noble task, and I hope you can achieve that goal. But as far as I experienced it, the pressure and the competition in this business is very hard. You two should keep a back-up plan in hand, just in case.&rdquo;<br />Her phone buzzed and interrupted their talk. After a quick glance at the display, our hostess said:<br />&ldquo;Oh, my technician is here. His name is Kai, by the way. Shall we go downstairs?&rdquo;<br /><br />We finished our breakfast and then followed Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter downstairs to her studio, where we met with Kai. The Shiba Inu told us a bit about himself, for example that he is from Japan, and that he is the Keyboard and piano player in Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter&rsquo;s band Silver Fang.<br />We watched Nikki&rsquo;s idol performing in the studio for about two hours before she took a break. Kai excused himself for a moment, and we had the chance to talk a bit more with Nikki&rsquo;s idol, who asked after she emptied a bottle of water:<br />&ldquo;Did you like it? This song will be the first on my newest album. But now, I want to watch you two singing. Do you have a favorite song?&rdquo;<br />Nikki answered her, while I tried to understand that sound mixer. There were so many switches and buttons, how does someone ever understand how to work with these machines?<br />&ldquo;How about &lsquo;I see the light?&rsquo; That is one of our favorites.&rdquo;<br />Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter seemed to be amused by our choice.<br />&ldquo;Not what I expected, but ok. There is a teleprompter for the text in the studio, we just have to wait for Kai. Why don&#039;t you go into the studio and make yourselves comfortable while we wait?<br /><br />Once Kai was back, they set the lights to match our song and then Nikki and I started singing this beautiful love song. After we were done, or hostess joined us in the studio. She complimented us but also had a few tips after watching us sing.<br />&ldquo;Impressive, both of you. However, there is room for improvement. First, Nikki. Your voice is gorgeous. Yet, you need to work on your breathing technique. Some sit-ups might also help. Do you have a vocal coach?&rdquo;<br /><br /><br />Nikki shook her head.<br />&ldquo;No, we don&rsquo;t have one at the moment. We had one at college, a woman. She said that she was once a big number in musicals and movies. Said she was one of the first anthropomorphic stars on stage. But she was selfish and racist, so our director had to fire her.&rdquo;<br />This poor description must have triggered a memory inside Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter&rsquo;s head.<br />&ldquo;Wait, please don&rsquo;t tell me it was Severa Abbas. This woman ended many promising careers before they even started.&rdquo;<br />Nikki looked down to the ground and answered,<br />&ldquo;It was her, yes. She hardly taught us anything, even excluded Balto and another member of our group from rehearsals. But she is gone now, and so far, we couldn&rsquo;t find a replacement for her.&rdquo;<br />Our hostess sounded slightly shocked. She seemed to really know Mr. Abbas and her arrogant personality.<br />&ldquo;Every frog could teach you better than she can. She was always only interested in herself. At the end, nobody wanted to work with her anymore. But enough of that, let us move on.&rdquo; <br />She turned her head towards me.<br />&ldquo;Balto, you also have to train your breathing. You are a bit short of breath. Do sit-ups, and jogging can also help to improve your stamina. I also have to tell you that you should change your diet. Away from meat, and more green stuff. It&#039;s healthier for a young singer. And if you have a play, be sure that you don&rsquo;t drink coffee, tea, soda, or other sweet and sour drinks. Better stick to water. Most other things are bad for the voice, at least right before you go on stage. You also shouldn&rsquo;t eat chocolate, before you go on stage. And most important, no alcohol, no smoking. All these things can damage your voice. Let us try something else, and this time, we will sing together. How about &ldquo;All for love&rdquo;? That song is for three singers, and it fits perfectly to both of your voices and styles.&rdquo;<br />Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter looked through the window at her technician.<br />&ldquo;Kai, are you ready? Balto, you begin.&rdquo;<br />Kai gave her a thumbs up, and the music began. It was so much fun to sing this tune, and luckily, it was recorded. That way we were able to send it to our friends and family. Gabriel&rsquo;s reaction was both sad and funny. He was so jealous. Like a little cub who just had to watch you getting a bigger piece of cake than he did.<br />After we were done, it was time to back upstairs. On the way to the stairs, Nikki spotted something.<br />&ldquo;Mrs. Roads-Hunter, is that different version of the last album? I don&rsquo;t know that one, and I have all of your CDs.&rdquo;<br />I saw a smile appearing on the face of the music star.<br />&ldquo;It is, it just isn&rsquo;t published yet. I always get a few copies for friends. Do you want one? Oh, and you two can call me Holly.&rdquo;<br />Nikki jumped in joy.<br />&ldquo;That would be awesome! Can you sign it for us? Oh, and can I maybe have a few more, for our group? I will pay for them, of course.&rdquo;<br />Holly now seemed flattered.<br />&ldquo;That is not necessary, take them as a gift. I will sign them for you, but then we really have to go back upstairs. I need to look after my kids, before they tear down the house.&rdquo;<br /><br />Nikki reacted like a little schoolgirl after she received the freshly signed copies.<br />&ldquo;Thank you so much! Oh, if it isn&rsquo;t asked too much, can you sign one for Gabriel, and maybe write a few lines for him? He is such a big fan.&rdquo;<br />Mrs. Rhoa- I mean, Holly signed a last copy especially for Gabriel, then we walked upstairs and into our room. Outside it was incredibly hot, at least for me, so leaving the house was not an option that day. <br />While Holly took care of her family, Nikki and I went upstairs. The happy cheetah just packed the CDs safely into her trolley, as we heard someone knocking at the door. <br />After I opened it, I could see a slightly annoyed Hatzel standing in front of me. The reason for her bad mood was the fact that we spent so much time with her mother, and not with her. <br />We had a long conversation with our friend about the happenings during Nikki&rsquo;s and my shower this morning, and about what Hazel did after she so hurriedly left the bathroom. To make it short, I think Johana was a lucky man that day. I mean, with Hazel and Kirara, I am sure you get the picture.<br /><br />Later on, we went back downstairs to the living room, where we watched cartoons and all episodes of a new Star Wars series. At least we watched it, Nikki fell into a deep slumber after one episode. She still isn&rsquo;t so much into these nerdy things. The hours past, and after we watched a movie together, we all could barely keep our eyes open anymore. I woke up Nikki, who was a bit grumpy about that, then we went back to our room. Inside, I switched on the pc and finally called my mother in a video call. Nikki, meanwhile, was listening to music through her headphones.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hey mom! How are you?&rdquo;<br />My mother sounded calm and relaxed when she asked,<br />&ldquo;Hello my son. I am fine. How about you and Nicole? Do you enjoy your little vacation so far?&rdquo;<br />I nodded with a big smile on my face.<br />&ldquo;We are ok, mommy. Today we had a little training with Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter. She gave us tips and sang a song with us, want to hear it?&rdquo;<br />Mom also smiled at me when she replied in a happy tone,<br />&ldquo;Sure, Balto. It is nice to know that you enjoy your time there. I miss you two. The house is so empty and silent without you.&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;I miss you too, mommy. We will come back home on Saturday. Could you please pick us up at the airport?&rdquo;<br />My mother took a look at something off-screen. I could hear paper rustle, then mom had some exciting news for me.<br />&ldquo;You can bet I will. Oh, before I forget. I want to go to Niagara Falls with you and Nicole. Her parents would like to spend the weekend at the lake, and we three will have a nice time together. <br />We have a room on a nice motel, and I found a very good pizzeria on the Internet.&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Sounds great, mom. I bet Nikki will like it too.&rdquo;<br />We had a long day behind us. Mom asked, after she watched me yawning with my mouth wide open:<br />&ldquo;Are you tired, Balto? Perhaps, you should go to bed. It is past your bedtime. Oh, just one more thing, before I forget it. Your grandparents called me today. They want you to visit them during the summer. I told them that you would probably prefer to spend your time with your girlfriend, but that didn&#039;t entirely convince them. They said they would have a right to see their grandson. My response to them was that it is your decision alone, and that I will not force you to visit them if you don&#039;t want. I only tell you that because they might call you during the next days.&rdquo;<br />I nodded. If I remember correctly, I mentioned in another entry that I don&#039;t like it much to visit my grandparents. A reason why I was thankful my mom doesn&#039;t force me to do it.<br />&ldquo;Thanks, mom. I would like to stay with you at home. They don&rsquo;t even have internet at their house.&rdquo;<br />My mother laughed.<br />&ldquo;At least you like your grandma&rsquo;s cakes and cookies. But now you probably should go to bed, Balto. I can see from here, that you can barely keep your eyes open. Give your girl a hug from me, ok? I wish you a good night, and we will talk again tomorrow, yes?&rdquo;<br />My tail wagged fast again as I cheerfully replied,<br />&ldquo;Sure, mommy! I wish you a good night too! I love you!&rdquo;<br />I could see her smiling into the cam.<br />&ldquo;I love you too, my son. More than you can imagine.&rdquo;<br /><br />After we had finished the call, I sent my mother the song we recorded earlier. Afterward, I undressed and went to bed. My cheetah switched off her music, took off her clothes and cuddled up close. We were both tired that day. The heat, the singing, all that was very exhausting. Nikki fell asleep only seconds after she laid down. That way, I had a few moments to review the day. And what a rememberable one it was. I mean, how many teens can say that they sang together with a rock star in their basement? Other than I had expected, Holly is a nice lady. Just as I wrote at the beginning of this entry, I thought she might be self-centered and arrogant, just like Ms. Abbas. But she is more like mom, or Mrs. Kofi.<br />With these positive thoughts in mind, I joined Nikki in Morpheus&#039;s realm.<br /><br />Two days gone, three more to go.<br />&nbsp;<br />Wednesday<br /><br /><br />You still around? Very cool. I wanted to keep this entry short, and now we reached page 49. There is still much more to tell, so let us move on.<br /><br />Wednesday began with a surprise. But a pleasant one. Nikki woke me up at around 8 o&rsquo;clock. I yawned loudly while looking at my naked girl. My cheetah gently caressed my back and gave me a lustful kiss, before she helped me out of the bed. I was so tired that, for me, it felt like we would have slept for just an hour. I nearly ran against the door on my way out of the room, so tired I was. Nikki chuckled, while she held me close to herself. She then whispered top me,<br />&ldquo;I better guide you before you get hurt. Let us take a little shower, maybe that will wake you up.&rdquo;<br /><br />Close together, we walked over to the bathroom. We brushed our teeth, afterward Nikki prepared the shower for us. A few minutes later, as we were standing under the warm water and enjoying each other&rsquo;s company, we heard the door open. Someone entered on sneaky paws. We both imagined that it was Hazel, like it was the case yesterday. This time, Nikki wanted to tease the naughty girl. She positioned me on the shower&rsquo;s door, with my eyes in the direction of the bathroom door, so I could look outside, right at our voyeur. Nikki was standing behind me. I could feel her gentle hands reaching down on my body. She started at my chest, slowly down over my belly, and then between my legs. My sheath began to swell. The tip of my member showed itself swiftly, thanks to Nikki&rsquo;s skillful touches.<br />I couldn&#039;t do much else but enjoy Nikki massaging my sheath and balls as my penis grew bigger. Soon it was at its full size. I moaned silently when Nikki began to stroke my cock, always careful that our audience could watch.<br /><br />Not only my knot grew bigger, the same went for my horniness. I just wanted to begin thrusting into my girl&rsquo;s hand, as Nikki reached for the cubicle&rsquo;s door and opened it without any warning. Outside, we could see a naked Hazel kneeling on the cold tiles, one hand touching her little breasts, the other one was between her legs rubbing her pussy. The young canine girl looked very surprised at us. This time, it was too late for her to run away. But I guess that she didn&rsquo;t want to do that again anyway. She started to grin when she looked at my wet, naked body. But I think she was even more interested in my twitching cock, which I tried to somehow hide with both my hands. The girl, other than I would have expected it from all the chats we had in the past, didn&rsquo;t do more than stare at me. Nikki passed me, stepped out of the shower and towards the poor girl. Her fur and paws were dripping wet, she had to be cautious not to slip. As she stood in front of Hazel, she helped the girl up, turned around, pointed at me, and asked her:<br />&ldquo;Want to have a taste of him, Hazel? I know you wanted to play with my wolf for months. Go on, I would like to see what this cute muzzle of yours can do.&rdquo;<br /><br />Then Nikki stepped back into the cubicle, closely followed by Hazel. A happy coincidence that this shower was big enough for three. Nikki commanded me to take my hands away from the goods for Hazel to take a closer look. Hazel&rsquo;s grin grew bigger as Nikki ordered her down on her knees in front of me. The cheetah took my cock into one hand, pointing its tip down at the kneeling girl&rsquo;s mouth. Hazel didn&rsquo;t move at first, so Nikki said in a commanding tone,<br />&ldquo;Lick and suck it, Hazel. Don&rsquo;t stop until doggy here is done.&rdquo;<br /><br />I was a bit nervous, as Hazel slowly now began to lick over my wet shaft. Nikki noticed that and tried to calm me down by massaging my shoulders.<br />Hazel soon became more confident. It surprised me how skilled and eagerly she licked the water off my twitching member.<br />Next, I could watch how she took my shaft into her right hand, opened her muzzle, and slowly swallowed it until the swelling knot hit her lips. After a moment of enjoying the piece of meat in her warm mouth, Hazel moved her head back. With only my tip remaining in her mouth, the young girl looked up at me. She looked so cute like that. I moaned loudly as she pressed her head greedily against my crotch again, swallowing my dick all the way down to my knot.<br />Slowly and with raising pleasure, Hazel picked up a steady pace and sucked on my cock, which soon brought me to the edge of my climax. Instincts took over, as I placed my hands on Hazel&rsquo;s head. I held her in position and began to thrust my cock into her warm and tight muzzle.<br />Several times, I pulled my cock almost completely out of her mouth before I pushed it back in. All that under Nikki&rsquo;s watchful eyes. Next, I heard how Nikki opened the shampoo bottle. I gasped in surprise when I felt her finger pressing inside my butthole. My girl knows exactly how she has to stimulate my prostate to make me cum. A few more thrusts, a silent howl, then I shot my seed deep in Hazel&rsquo;s throat. The young canine swallowed with a smile, then she cleaned my member with her tongue. Hazel was desperate not to miss a single drop of my seed.<br />After she was done, we all enjoyed a warm shower together. Afterward, we moved downstairs to get some breakfast. Holly was nowhere to be seen, same for Johana or anyone else. Hazel explained that they went to the market to buy some food for today&rsquo;s dinner. So, we were alone. Or better, I was alone. Alone with two naughty, horny girls.<br /><br />Sorry to disappoint you, but we didn&rsquo;t do anything else that time. We only had a nice breakfast with cocoa, toast, and cereals, while Nikki got her beloved cup of morning coffee. After breakfast, we watched cartoons and a few music videos on Pawtube, then we switched over to the news. They talked mostly about the war between Ukraine and Russia, the gas prices and about demonstrations against a decision of the supreme court. I usually don&rsquo;t watch the news. They are always so depressing. But Nikki wanted to watch them, especially because of the protests. They were against a new law banning abortions, if I understood that right. There were even some protests held in Darwin&rsquo;s Hope. I wondered if mom or Nikki&rsquo;s parents also visited those protests.<br /><br />After the news broadcast was over, we heard how Holly, Johana and Rory came back from the market. We all helped a bit with cleaning the kitchen, before we went back to the living room and sat down on the couch. Then we heard it for the first time. A sound I so far only knew from some documentations.<br />It was a bird. A parrot, to be precise. Holly brought it into the room. At first it just sat on her shoulder, but then it flew freely around the room when Holly had to leave the room to take a call. Nikki watched the bird with big eyes, her pupils grew bigger, she chattered while her tail twitched wildly. All the muscles in her body seemed to tense up. She looked at that bird like I had never seen it before, like she would turn into a wild cat, ready to hunt and kill her prey. Her whiskered twitched, and as if that bird wanted to commit suicide, it landed in front of Nikki. Hazel and I tried to hold Nikki back, we feared the worst, but the feline didn&rsquo;t react to our words or anything else. Her eyes were fixed on the bird. Johana and Hazel just screamed, as Nikki raised her hands to catch the parrot. That crazy feather bearer only looked at Nikki, tilted his head and suddenly spoke: &ldquo;Pretty girl&rdquo;. <br />To our relief, Nikki gained back control over herself. She looked at the bird and shook her head.<br />&ldquo;Damn, what happened? I couldn&rsquo;t control myself. What is that bird doing in here? You never said that you have pets, Hazel.&rdquo;<br />At that moment, Holly came back.<br />&ldquo;This is our parrot. His name is Marley.&rdquo;<br />Hazel still seemed to be a bit confused and worried.<br />&ldquo;Mom, Nikki acted really weird, she seemed as she wanted to kill and eat Marley.&rdquo;<br />Holly gave a sign, and Marley flew to her.<br />&ldquo;I am sorry. We barely have felines in our house.&rdquo;<br />Nikki was clearly shocked by her behavior.<br />&ldquo;I am so sorry. I couldn&rsquo;t control myself. I never felt like that before. Please, forgive me, I am so sorry.&rdquo;<br />She covered her eyes in shame, while Hazel and I carefully caressed her back. Holly spoke, after she brought Marley out of the room:<br />&ldquo;All fine, Nikki. We all are sometimes victims of our primitive instincts. Nothing happened, so let us just forget it. Would you like something to eat?&rdquo;<br />Nikki stood up and walked towards the door. <br />&ldquo;I just need some fresh air. Just give me a minute or two.&rdquo;<br />Nikki left, while I looked after her with a worried expression. Holly noticed that.<br />&ldquo;Balto, maybe you should follow her. That isn&rsquo;t an easy situation for your girl. When those wild instincts take over, it can be a disturbing feeling for a young Anthro.&quot;<br /><br />As Holly had suggested, I stood up and followed Nikki. She went to the Koi-Pond, where she sat down in the grass. I joined her, and we talked about what just happened. Nikki was still confused, but together we managed to make her smile again. We sat there for quite a while until it occurred to me that Nikki could perhaps call her mother and ask her for advice.<br /><br />Unfortunately, Mrs. Kofi didn&rsquo;t take the call. Nikki sighed, but smiled again after I said that We could try it again in the evening.<br />Sometime later, we saw Hazel and Johana coming our way. Nikki was afraid of them being mad at her, but that wasn&rsquo;t the case. Perhaps their mother had spoken with them, while we were gone. Our friends gave Nikki a group hug, which made Nikki feel better again. We remained at this peaceful place for another hour, before we slowly walked back to the house. A strong wind came up, and dark clouds rolled in. Holly shouted, as we were close enough to the house:<br />&ldquo;Come in, it will soon begin to rain.&rdquo;<br />Back inside, Holly gave Nikki another hug. Nikki was still a bit ashamed, and her gaze was fixed to the floor. Holly smiled at my girl and lifted her head with her hand to look Nikki in her eyes, then she said,<br />&ldquo;Heads up, sweetheart. You, know, I have an idea. Since this weather won&rsquo;t go away any time soon, how about a movie marathon? I can make popcorn, and we even have some nachos here. What do you say?&rdquo;<br /><br />After a brief discussion about which movies we should watch, we decided on a Jurassic Park marathon. Even young Rory watched with us and cheered every time he saw the T. Rex. I wonder if I was like that at the age of five. All in all, it was a very relaxed day.<br /><br />In the evening, we had a fantastic homemade pizza for dinner. Besides that, Johana prepared a mixed salad with chicken stripes for us. After dinner, Holly took Nikki to the room in which Marley had his refuge. I guess she wanted to give my cheetah the chance to apologize to the bird she had almost eaten. Meanwhile, Hazel, Johana, Rory, and I watched a few more music videos of Holly and her band. I imagined how it would be for me to be famous like her. Would I be able to still be myself? Or would I become a different person?<br /><br />Holly and Nikki were gone for over an hour. My girl later told me that they talked about music, about the college, our plays, and a possible concert in our town. <br />It was about 11 pm when Nikki and I excused ourselves. We were both tired, and I wanted to call mom before bedtime.<br />&nbsp;<br />Back upstairs, I turned on the PC and called my mother, who was seemingly sitting on our couch. I greeted her happily:<br />&ldquo;Hey, mom! How are you?&rdquo;<br />Mom sounded happy about my call.<br />&ldquo;Balto, I was waiting for you. I am fine, and what about you? Asha is here, we are watching TV. Earlier, we had pizza and some whine. I miss you, sweetie.&rdquo;<br />My tail wagged. My mother&rsquo;s words made me smile.<br />&ldquo;We are fine, too. I can&rsquo;t wait to get to Niagara Falls.&rdquo;<br />Nikki joined me in front of the cam. <br />&ldquo;Hey, Christa, could I talk to my mom for a moment? It would be important.&rdquo;<br />Mom happily agreed.<br />&ldquo;Sure thing, Nicole.&rdquo; We heard mom shouting; &ldquo;Asha, your daughter wants to speak with you.&rdquo;<br />I guess that Mrs. Kofi was in the kitchen, but she appeared on the screen shortly after mom called for her. Nikki&rsquo;s mother waved to the camera, then said:<br />&ldquo;Hello, Nicole, hi Balto. What can I do for you?&rdquo;<br />Nikki began to tell our moms about the not-so-ordinary event that had happened today:<br />&ldquo;Mom, something happened today, I hope you can give me some advice. The family here has a pet parrot, and as I saw it, I lost control over myself. All I could think of was hunting and killing this bird. Balto and our friends shouted at me, but I couldn&rsquo;t get out of that state.&rdquo;<br />Mrs. Kofi seemed to be worried of her daughter.<br />&ldquo;Did you kill the bird?&rdquo; She asked.<br />Nikki shook her head.<br />&ldquo;No, I didn&rsquo;t. Marley, I mean, this parrot, called me a pretty girl just as I was about to strike. At that moment, I regained control. The bird is fine, but I am scared. Why couldn&rsquo;t I control myself? Why did I act like that?&rdquo;<br />Her mother tried her best to calm Nikki down, and to explain what happened:<br />&ldquo;Nicole, I am not a doctor. But I think that is simply because of our biology. We are still felines, and as such, we sometimes see birds as our prey.&rdquo;<br />Nikki wasn&rsquo;t satisfied by this answer.<br />&ldquo;But I have seen chicken run around, and birds in the park. I never had a feeling like that before.&rdquo;<br />Mrs. Kofi tried further to calm her daughter down.<br />&ldquo;Nicole, it is most likely a primitive instinct. Please don&rsquo;t put too many thoughts into it. I will call our doctor, maybe he can tell me more. Perhaps it helps if you look somewhere else, should these instincts come back.&rdquo;<br />Nikki still seemed to be scared of how she reacted to Marley&rsquo;s appearance. Her next question was a bit of a shock to me.<br />&ldquo;What if I hunt Balto?&rdquo;<br />Her mother&#039;s voice became more definite. <br />&ldquo;Nicole, stop. You are not Dr. Jekyll&rsquo;s cat. There is no second person inside you, and I bet this was a one-time thing. Please try to enjoy your vacation. As I said, I will call a doctor, and I will speak with your father. Idrissa has seen much in his life, perhaps he has an idea.&rdquo;<br />My mother added:<br />&ldquo;Your mom is right, Nicole. You would never hurt someone you care about. Especially not Balto. Don&rsquo;t worry, my dear.&rdquo;<br />Nikki finally calmed down. <br />&ldquo;Thank, you mom. Thank you, Christa. I love you both.&rdquo;<br />My mom replied:<br />&ldquo;We love you too. Oh, one last thing. We listened to the song you send me, Balto.&rdquo;<br />Nikki and I were curious.<br />&ldquo;Did you like it?&rdquo;<br /><br />The answer came quickly, in a happy voice.<br />&ldquo;We sure did. It sounds great. I also showed it to my colleagues at work. They loved it. You two can really be proud of yourself. But now, try to get some sleep. Tomorrow is a new day.&rdquo;<br /><br />Nikki and I waved to the camera, while we whished our moms a good night together. The screen blackened. It went silent in the room.<br />My girl and I then stripped naked and slipped under the blankets. I cuddled up close to Nikki, while she held me in her arms.<br />My sweet girl. I cannot describe how happy I am to have her by my side. Her scent always relaxes me. I never slept better than I do next to her.<br />&nbsp;<br />Thursday<br /><br />That night, I had a more than strange dream. I was walking in a white void. There was nothing there. Nothing besides me, and him. Peter. This mysterious stranger, who seems to follow me everywhere. The last time I have seen him was in the cemetery, at my father&rsquo;s grave. In this dream, we only walked through the white void, without saying anything to each other. After a while, we reached a closed door. Peter turned around, looked at me and said:<br />&ldquo;Balto, I brought you here because there is someone in this room who wants to meet you. Go in. Don&rsquo;t be afraid. Nothing here can hurt you.&rdquo;<br />I asked Peter:<br />&ldquo;Who is in there?&rdquo;<br />Peter just pointed at the door.<br />&ldquo;He who was and is always by your side.&rdquo;<br /><br />He opened the door for me. Inside the room, I saw my home. The couch, the TV, our kitchen with the big window in the back. There only was one minor difference. The photo of dad, which is standing on the little table next to the couch, was gone. There was someone sitting on the couch, with his back to me. I walked closer to this strange figure.<br />&ldquo;Hello, who are you? Where are we?&rdquo;<br />The voice I heard next frightened me.<br />&ldquo;Balto, don&rsquo;t you remember your home? Come, sit with me. Let us have a talk.&rdquo;<br />This dream, it felt so real. I can barely describe the feeling I had, as I joined the stranger on the couch. I sat down, not right next to him, but close enough. I could see his face clearly now. It was my father. The man I have only known from videos, stories, and photos.<br />He smiled at me and said:<br />&ldquo;You grew big, my son. I wish I could have seen you growing up. I miss your mother. My dear Christa. It sure was a difficult raising you alone. She did an outstanding job. I am proud of you. Do never forget this, Balto.&rdquo;<br />I interrupted him.<br />&ldquo;Dad, please, come with me. Come back home. I want you to come back. Mom and I miss you.&rdquo;<br />Dad shook his head.<br />&ldquo;I can&rsquo;t, Balto. But be assured, I am always with you. Please take care of your mother. Help her, support her. Nothing is more important than family.&rdquo;<br />I screamed in tears:<br />&ldquo;Then why did you leave her that night?&rdquo;<br />Das answered in his calm voice:<br />&ldquo;Balto, I had to. It was my job. This man committed a crime, he needed to be stopped.&rdquo;<br />I continued to scream at him:<br />&ldquo;But he shot you!&rdquo;<br />My father only nodded.<br />&ldquo;Yes. This human shot me. I died that night. Shortly before my beloved wife gave birth to my son.&rdquo;<br /><br />I could feel how I looked at my father. What did he just say? A stupid human was responsible for my father&rsquo;s death?<br />The world around us began to shake, and dad said, while he stood up and walked in the direction of my mother&rsquo;s bedroom:<br />&ldquo;Balto, you need to go. Don&rsquo;t forget, I love you. I will always be with you, my son.&rdquo;<br />The scene fainted, while I loudly screamed:<br />&ldquo;No! Dad! Don&rsquo;t leave me, please!&rdquo;<br />As I opened my eyes, I could only see Nikki&rsquo;s worried face in front of me. <br /><br />My girl was shaking me and screamed in a slight panic:<br />&ldquo;Balto? Balto, wake up!&rdquo;<br />I was panting hard, while I looked around. Then I felt how Nikki pressed me against her.<br />&ldquo;Balto, I am here. Everything is fine, you are awake. You were talking and screaming in your sleep. Is everything ok with you?&rdquo;<br /><br />I didn&rsquo;t respond. I just sat up, covered my eyes, and cried desperately.<br />Nikki tried what she could to calm me down.<br />&ldquo;Balto, what happened? Did you have a bad dream? Please, tell me.&rdquo;<br />We heard a sudden knocking at the door, followed by Holly&rsquo;s voice:<br />&ldquo;Is everything ok in there? I heard someone screaming. Do you need help?&rdquo;<br />Nikki answered:<br />&ldquo;No, all is fine. Balto just had a bad dream.&rdquo;<br />My girl pulled me closer to her, laid my head on her chest and gently caressed me.<br />I heard her repeating softly over and over again: <br />&ldquo;All is fine now, Balto. It was just a dream. You are safe.&rdquo;<br /><br />It took some time, until I was able to speak with her about my dream.<br />She listened to me in silence, and as I was done with telling, she grabbed my phone.<br />&ldquo;You should call your mother, now. Maybe she can tell you more about this.&rdquo;<br /><br />I called mom in a video call. It took longer than usual for her to pick up. Naturally, she sounded concerned, as she saw my teary eyes.<br />&ldquo;Balto? What happened? Have you cried?&rdquo;<br />Nikki massaged my shoulders a bit, knowing that this always relaxes me.<br />&ldquo;Mom, I had a dream. I saw dad. I talked with him, it felt so real. And he said that his death was caused by a human. Why did you never tell me that?&rdquo;<br />Silence followed, as mom tried to find the right words.<br />&ldquo;Balto, I only wanted to protect you. But how can you even know that? Dreams are nothing but mirrors of our memories and wishes. It is impossible that someone in this dream told you about something you could never know.&rdquo;<br />I almost shouted at my mom:<br />&ldquo;Protect me from what? And how? By lying to me?&rdquo;<br />My mom stayed calm, while we both were fighting with our tears.<br />&ldquo;I never lied to you. I kept this fact hidden because I didn&rsquo;t want my son to become a bitter man who hates humans. Your father would have never wanted that to happen. That is why I kept this a secret from everyone. Balto, please. Promise me that you don&rsquo;t judge all humans after this one single man. He has received his punishment. Last year, I received a letter from the chief of police. Maybe you remember him from the visit in the police station. He was the one who gave you your father&rsquo;s badge. In that letter, I was told that the murderer of your father is dead. <br />He died in prison during a revolt. Please, Balto. Don&rsquo;t become like him, don&rsquo;t start to hate. That is not you. It would only destroy you.&rdquo;<br />She was right. Even if I felt immense pain in my hearth, even at this point, I shouldn&rsquo;t let the hate take over. While crying bitter tears, I made a promise to my mother:<br />&ldquo;I love you, mommy. I promise that I will never be like this man. I will make you and dad proud.&rdquo;<br />A smile appeared on mom&rsquo;s face.<br />&ldquo;You already did. I am so proud of you. I love you, my son. And I always will.&rdquo;<br /><br />We ended the call a few minutes later. Nikki and I spend the next moments sitting on the bed without saying a single word. A sudden question from her then ended this silence:<br />&ldquo;Should we go home?&rdquo;<br />I shook my head.<br />&ldquo;No. I want to stay here. Can I have cocoa?&rdquo;<br />Nikki chuckled.<br />&ldquo;Sure. Let&#039;s go and have breakfast. I really need a coffee now.&rdquo;<br /><br />After we got dressed, Nikki and I went downstairs to have a nice breakfast with our friends. While I enjoined a delightful cup of cocoa with marshmallows, Holly suggested driving into town for a little sightseeing-tour. Sounded like a good plan, some fresh air would just be the right thing for me after the morning we just had. Only Rory didn&rsquo;t want to go, since he preferred to watch his cartoons instead. That seemed to be a problem at first, until Kirara said that she would stay at home with him. Rory cheered, as he heard his mom agree to this. The little guy gave me a hug, and Nikki got a kiss from him, before we left.<br />The day itself was a rainy one. This was the reason why Nikki and I took some warmer clothes with us. Our hoodies, to be more exact. Holly drove with Hazel, Johana, Nikki, and me into the city and parked the car close to the so-called President&rsquo;s Residence. This has been the place where the university president has lived since 1852.<br />We began our tour at Angell Hall, which is a part of the University. It has been in use since 1924 and its look reminded me of an old temple.<br />The next place was the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. This building would make a great house for a witch or a Sorcerer. I loved its tower. After a brief visit to the museum, which was boring for me, our little group walked further over the campus of the Michigan Union, the University of Michigan. I always thought that Stark College is big, but this place made me speechless. We didn&rsquo;t visit every location on the campus, which would have simply taken too long. The place was, due to the time of the year, pretty empty. We only saw a handful of students, which haven&rsquo;t left the campus during summer break. The biggest surprise for me here was an anthropomorphic couple, which walked hand in hand over the campus. This picture made me smile. Seeing this gave me hope. Ann Arbor isn&rsquo;t a town like Darwin&rsquo;s Hope. Here, the most citizens are human, but they are living side by side with Anthros. Neither Nikki nor I have heard a single bad word during our time in the city. Holly explained to us that this university is one of the best medical schools in the country.<br /><br />Hazel seemed to be a bit bored, while we continued our way over the campus. I guess that she had other things planned for the day than visiting a school. Together, we walked to the next building, the so-called Central Recreation Building. It is a place to relax, play basketball and such stuff.<br />Our next stop was the Museum of Natural History. This was by far my favorite place. We saw skeletons of whales, dinosaurs, prehistoric sea creatures and lots of other interesting things. The model of the Quetzalcoatlus (A flying reptile), and the exhibit about evolution were two of the most impressing things in there. Sadly, there was nothing about Anthros in there, maybe because we aren&rsquo;t part of natural evolution. But let us move on.<br />After we left the museum, we followed Holly to the Burton Memorial Tower. This is a large Clock Tower that stands on the campus. That was also the last station we had on the campus, and honestly, my paws hurt a bit. Hazel seemed to have the same problem, so we made a short break to rest. <br />The next station was the famous State Theater, which is one of the oldest movie theaters in the country. There they show independent movies, concerts, and theatrical productions. A very cool place with a rich history.<br />One of my least favorites was the Graffiti Alley, I guess that this is simply not my kind of Art. It is impressive for sure, just not my thing. Maybe if they drew more pictures of superheroes.<br />After that, we had a long walk to the north, until we reached the Kerrytown Market &amp; Shops. We sadly couldn&rsquo;t buy much there, but we at least tried some local specialties and bought a few little souvenirs. <br />Our final station was the Ann Arbor Art Center Exhibition Gallery, found in the historic Walker Building. We were all exhausted, except for Nikki and Holly, who joked about us cubs panting hard and rubbing our paws after these 5 hours of walking (including the visits to the museums).<br />It was Johana who suggested a visit to a cool comic bookstore nearby, the Midnight Vault. Since the girls didn&rsquo;t want to go with us, he and I went there alone. It was such an outstanding shop. I wish we would have a store like that in Darwin&rsquo;s Hope. <br /><br />While we browsed through the comics, Johana and I talked a bit about our plans for the remaining time of our vacation. He mentioned that he would love to draw a picture of Nikki and me, and I told him about our little shower adventure with Hazel. He wasn&rsquo;t surprised to hear that his sister had her fun with us. Or, better said, with me. According to his words, Hazel has a strong sex drive. He also asked me to keep it a secret, as her parents aren&#039;t aware that he and Hazel are sexually active.<br /><br />We stayed inside that store for about an hour, until we rejoined the girls outside the store. We were all hungry, so Holly suggested going to the Hopcat restaurant. She told us about her regular visits to this restaurant and that she also performs there from time to time.<br />Since the Hopcat was only ten minutes away from our current location, we decided to walk there. Right after we entered the restaurant, Holly was welcomed by the owner. The human shook all our hands and showed us a nice, big table in the back. He himself brought us the menus and took our drink orders. The heads of other guests turned in our direction from time to time, but we could drink and eat in peace. Nikki and I had the Adobo Chicken Tacos. They were made with braised Adobo chicken, chihuahua cheese, grilled poblanos and onions, and were served with cilantro lime slaw and a lime wedge.<br />The chihuahua cheese made me giggle, since it sounds as if it would be made of annoying little dogs. The owner explained to me that it is a kind of Mexican melting cheese, mostly used for quesadillas and something called gringas.<br /><br />It was such a great dinner and just as we finished, the owner came back to our table. We could already hear music playing in the background and people clapping their hands. The owner asked Holly if she wanted to perform one or two songs, since there was a little event taking place. She stood up and took a few steps away from us, so I couldn&rsquo;t really understand what they were talking about. After a brief discussion with the owner, she apparently agreed to sing a few songs. Holly gave us a sign to follow her over to the event area, where we also got a table in the back. It would have been far too loud for us in the front anyway because we didn&rsquo;t have earplugs with us.<br />Holly stepped on the stage, where she sang a song called &ldquo;Jungle Love&rdquo; for the cheering audience. Before she left the stage, she took the microphone off the stand once again. What she said next made Nikki and me to flinch in our chairs.<br />&ldquo;Thank you so much, you are all so kind. I didn&rsquo;t plan to perform today. My family and I just wanted to grab a bite to eat after showing two dear friends from Darwin&#039;s Hope a part of our city. People, please give them a warm Ann Arbor welcome! Balto, Nikki, please stand up for a moment.&rdquo;<br />Nikki and I stood up somewhat reluctantly and waved to the cheering audience. Holly continued:<br />&rdquo;The two of them recently showed me that they too are talented singers. Audience, what do you say? Do you want to hear them?&rdquo;<br />The audience cheered once more. I gulped. It had been a while since we performed in front of humans. Nikki, who seemed to have fewer doubts than me, took my hand and walked with me to the stage. Holly organized two more mics while she instructed the musicians on what to play. Yes, there was a real band there, not only a karaoke machine like I was used to.<br />I was so damn nervous when Holly told the audience what we were going to sing with her:<br />&ldquo;We will sing a little song I sang with them in my studio at home. I promise, you will like it. Balto, Nikki, All for Love. Balto, you begin.&rdquo;<br />I wanted to sing, but not a single note came out of my mouth. Holly instructed me to take a deep breath, while I heard someone from the audience shout that I should have a whiskey to relax. The band started again, and this time it worked.<br />My girl and I tried to follow the tips Holly gave us, and it was just great. The feeling was incredible. In fact, I even asked if I could sing another song after we were done. It was one of my favorite songs by the great Elvis Presley, &ldquo;Falling in Love&rdquo;. I sang this song several times before. I simply have a thing for love songs. When I was through, my hands were shaking like crazy. I felt hot and cold at the same time, and Nikki had to help me off the stage. As good as my feeling was during our performance, as strange was it now. It was completely silent in the room. I hid under the hood of my hoodie as we walked back to our table so no one could see me.<br /><br />Then, suddenly, I heard someone start clapping. The rest of the audience soon followed, and I heard Holly&rsquo;s voice again:<br />&ldquo;Balto, Nikki, good job. People, I am certain that this wasn&rsquo;t the last time we heard these two. Oh, and I have a little surprise. This performance here was recorded, and if it is ok for you, I will publish it on my channel. People, give these two an extra loud Ann Arbor applause! Woo-hoo!&rdquo;<br /><br />Nikki and I waved to the people in the room, before we finally rejoined Hazel and Johana at our table. They congratulated us, and we were brought something to drink. I had a glass of coke, which I almost spilled because my hands were still shaking. A waitress saw that and handed me a straw. Holly also came back to the table. To my surprise, Nikki seemed to be angered.<br />&ldquo;Holly, you could have asked us before. Did you plan this?&rdquo;<br />Holly laughed.<br />&ldquo;Nikki, you asked for my help. If you want to be a singer, sing. There is no other way. When a little bird needs to learn to fly, he flies. He doesn&rsquo;t remain inside the nest and studies the theory of flying. And if a singer hopes to get better at singing, he needs to sing. Of course, you can take singing lessons and such stuff, but in the end, the best training is singing itself. You two did great up there. Keep up what I told you, make a bit more sport, eat healthier, and you two will be known far over the borders of your little town in no-time.&rdquo;<br /><br />Nikki tapped her paw on the ground. She looked at me, witnessed how Hazel slowly took off the hood of my hoodie, to give me a little kiss. This scene made her smile. She apologized for her little outburst.<br />&ldquo;Thank you, Holly. It means a lot to us. I am sorry, I just want to protect Balto from any bad experiences.&rdquo;<br />Holly chuckled, as she placed her hand on Nikki&rsquo;s shoulder.<br />&ldquo;My dear, that is noble. But you can&rsquo;t always protect him. Sometimes, you must push your little bird over the edge and let him fly.&rdquo;<br />Nikki became curious.<br />&ldquo;Are you doing the same with Hazel and Johana?&rdquo;<br />Holly looked at her kids.<br />&ldquo;You mean if I encourage them to try things which could bring them forward? I sure do. And I am proud of all my kids, even if none of them shows much interest in singing or acting. At least, not on a professional level. They follow more their father&rsquo;s footsteps, which is great. Johana is a talented cook, and Hazel loves to help her father make pastry. Perhaps one day she will work with him in his business or even take it over when Joe retires. And that would be just great. Your parents sure are proud of you too, and support you in any way, aren&rsquo;t they, Nikki?&rdquo;<br />My girl nodded.<br />&ldquo;They do, yes. The same goes for Balto&rsquo;s mom. Honestly, I never met another mother who is as supportive as Balto&rsquo;s mother is.&rdquo;<br /><br />Holly reached for my head and tousled my hair. <br />&ldquo;She sure did a fantastic job. But let us get ready now. It gets late, and we should go back home. Do you kids want to watch a movie together later? Tomorrow, Rory, and I will visit the Water Circus, so you will have the house to yourselves.&rdquo;<br />Hazel first wanted to protest, but then quickly turned her head towards Nikki, Johana, and me. You didn&rsquo;t need to be a mind reader to know what she was thinking at that moment.<br /><br />Our little group headed back to the car. We just managed to take our seats, as it began to rain once more. Slowly, Holly drove us back to this impressive palace of a house, which they called their home. Kirara welcomed us at the door. Altogether, we watched the movie &lsquo;Hook&rsquo; with Robin Williams. A funny movie, and I loved the Peter Pan Outfit. Nikki said that it reminds her of my costume for Puck.<br /><br />It was almost midnight, as the movie ended. I yawned, what caused Nikki and Hazel to do the same. I took my mobile to at least write my mother a brief message. She answered that she had a nice evening with Nikki&rsquo;s parents, and that she just wanted to send me a note herself. I told her a bit about our day, about the visit to the restaurant, and that Holly wanted to publish a video of us on her social media.<br />That last point made mom feel a bit uncomfortable. At least she wrote that in her answer, before she wished Nikki and me a good night. My look went up to Holly.<br />&ldquo;Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter, can I have a warm milk with honey?&rdquo;<br />She smiled at me.<br />&ldquo;Sure, sweetie. But please call me Holly. Hazel, how about you help Balto in the kitchen? I want to upload this video, before I go to bed.&rdquo;<br />Holly left us with Rory at her hand, while Hazel helped me to get some warm milk. My friend told me that the honey was in the cabinet next to the refrigerator. It was one of these pull-out units they usually have inside pharmacies, looked pretty fancy to me. I just wanted to take the honey glass, as I felt Hazel&rsquo;s hand between my legs. The girl grinned at me while she carefully massaged my balls. In a seductive voice, she told me that she would like to have my milk instead. Yes, I know. That sounds almost as bad as the question of why there is hay on the floor. <br />My sheath began to swell under Hazel&rsquo;s talented hands, what made the girl smile. Just as she was about to unzip my shorts, Nikki came in. My girl chuckled as she saw what was going on.<br />&ldquo;Hey, doggy. When you said you wanted some milk, I didn&rsquo;t think Hazel would milk you for it. I am sorry, Hazel. Johana and Kirara went to bed, and I am tired too. Can you probably save that for tomorrow?&rdquo;<br />Hazel seemed to be disappointed, but she agreed. With a cup of warm milk in one hand and Nikki in the other, I walked upstairs into our bedroom. Nikki closed and locked the door behind us. I sat down on the bed, drank my milk, and after she had undressed herself, Nikki sat down next to me. She put her left arm around my shoulders, and began to speak silently:<br />&ldquo;Balto, do you think you can sleep this night? You really frightened me this morning. You never talked in your sleep before. And that dream you told us about, honestly, it scared me. I locked the door to prevent Hazel from sneaking in. I like her, but she has an even bigger sex drive than I had, as I was in her age. If you have finished your milk, I would like to sleep. But you will stay close to me, Fluffy.&rdquo;<br />Nikki quickly undressed, before she helped me out of my clothes. We laid down, facing each other.<br />&ldquo;Sleep well, my little prince. Your Nikki will watch over you.&rdquo;<br />Tiredly, I responded to her:<br />&ldquo;The whole night?&rdquo;<br />She smiled at me and whispered:<br />&ldquo;The whole night.&rdquo;<br />I felt asleep shortly after we laid down. This night, I slept like a baby. I can&rsquo;t tell you how relaxing it was. Now I want to tell you about Friday. We are close to the end, my friends.<br />Friday<br /><br /><br />A gentle knocking at the door woke us up at about 10 am. It wasn&rsquo;t Hazel, what was a bit surprising, it was Johana. He asked if everything was ok, and if we would like to come downstairs for breakfast. Nikki stood up first, stretching her body in front of me. My eyes were fixed on her perfect little butt, sadly she turned around after a few seconds. I looked up and saw, how she weighed her boobs in her hands, while I sat up at the edge of the bed.<br />&ldquo;Balto, do you think my breasts grew bigger? I think they are bigger now. Give me your hand, doggy. Touch them.&rdquo;<br />She took both my hands and placed them on her boobs. I squeezed them a bit, they were as firm as always. Maybe a bit bigger. My fingers played a bit with her nipples, which made them hard, and Nikki moaned silently. <br />&ldquo;Perhaps a bit bigger. But they are awesome. I like your boobies.&rdquo;<br /><br />She sighed, as she took my hands again and pulled me up.<br />&ldquo;Sure, you do. Well, as long as they don&rsquo;t grow further, it is fine. Get up now before you make me even hornier than I already am.&rdquo;<br /><br />We got dressed, brushed our teeth, then we went downstairs. Hazel, Johana, and Kirara were already sitting at the dining table. The aroma of fresh bread rolls, bacon and eggs, coffee and cocoa greeted us. We joined them for a large breakfast, with everything you could imagine. The last time I had such a breakfast was at the hotel in New York.<br />We were sitting there for about two hours, talked, joked, and more than once, I felt Hazel&rsquo;s hand between my legs. She even massaged my sheath, and I could see how she was moving on her chair. The smell coming from her made it clear to me, that she was wet. And that she didn&rsquo;t wear panties under the long shirt she was wearing that morning. Nikki noticed how I became more and more nervous, and of course, she saw what Hazel was doing, since she was sitting right next to me. She seemed a bit embarrassed, and spoke to us silently, as Kirara and Johana seemed to look away:<br />&ldquo;Could you two please wait until later? What if Holly is still here?&rdquo;<br />Johana heard her and replied:<br />&ldquo;Our mother has been gone for about two hours, Nikki. Don&rsquo;t worry, I have seen Hazel doing much worse things. I wonder why she still isn&rsquo;t kneeling under the table. Or has Balto dragged to her room yet. She wanted to have sex with him for the whole week now. Last night it was so bad that she came to my room, and well, you can imagine the rest. I am still a bit sore. Thanks for that, sister.&rdquo;<br />Hazel showed her tongue to her brother, then responded:<br />&ldquo;Kirara has done a lot more with you than I have. And I only cleaned your cock after she was done!&rdquo;<br />Hazel squeezing my sheath hard, what made me yelp.<br />&ldquo;Not so hard, Hazel! That thing is sensitive, and I still need it.&rdquo;<br />Nikki laughed, while Hazel eased her grip. My girl warned Hazel:<br />&ldquo;Yes, be careful. Otherwise, there will be no fun for either of us later.&rdquo;<br />She looked over the table to Johana.<br />&ldquo;What reminds me. You mentioned that you would like to draw me. When do you want to start with that? I guess we should begin soon, if Hazel is willing to let Balto go.&rdquo;<br />Johana nodded and looked at the clock.<br />&ldquo;We should start with it, yes. Well, my room is ready, we can start right away if you are ready for it. I will just clean the kitchen a bit. Meanwhile, Kirara can show you my room. You can get comfortable, I mean, get naked, and see if you find a pose you like. And Balto, you don&rsquo;t need to have a boner all the time, don&rsquo;t worry.&rdquo;<br /><br />Hazel chuckled, as she noticed the tent in the shorts I was wearing.<br />&ldquo;He sure has a boner right now. Nikki, can I play with your doggy?&rdquo;<br />Nikki chuckled.<br />&ldquo;Later, Hazel. We would lose too much time, if he gets stuck in you.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;<br />Somehow, I was relieved. Hearing that Johana was sore because of Hazel scared me a bit.<br />We went to Johana&rsquo;s room, where Kirara showed us around. This room is a nerdy paradise, I can tell you that much. Comics, action figures, replicas from movies, badges from several cons, it was fantastic. On the walls, I could see some pictures of sushi and other Japanese food. His desk was a big and modern table with two monitors on it, a flight control stick, and an expensive looking webcam. Another thing that cached my interest was a keyboard piano next to the desk. Then Kirara showed us a map with various of Johana&rsquo;s drawings, including some nude pictures of her and Hazel. While Nikki and I browsed through this map, Kirara prepared the easel for Johana. She also brought a mattress, which she placed in front of it. A few cushions and other decorations, and soon it looked like a place in an oriental palace. Kirara really has some serious decorating skills.<br />Because of this setting, Nikki got an idea.<br />&ldquo;Kirara, do you don&rsquo;t have a collar and maybe a harness or something like that here? I thought that I could be a slave girl for my naughty little prince.&rdquo;<br /><br />My tail wagged when I heard that idea, while Hazel chuckled. <br />It was her who ran out of the room and came back with some things minutes later. She had a sexy black leather harness, a collar with a leash attached to it, and some fitting cuffs. I didn&rsquo;t dare to ask where she got all this. Nikki and Kirara smiled at each other, then my girl began to strip naked. First her top, then her pants, and the panties. She was standing there in all her natural beauty, while Kirara looked at her with big eyes and an even bigger smile on her face. Nikki stretched her arms to her.<br />&ldquo;Would you like to help me prepare me for my prince, Kirara?&rdquo;<br />A quick nod from the staring canine followed, before she placed the cuffs on Nikki&rsquo;s ankles and wrists. Then came the harness, which looked so hot on Nikki that I wanted her never take it off again. The last thing was the collar, and then the cheetah slave girl was ready to serve.<br />She looked at me, turning around a few times, so I could see her whole body.<br />&ldquo;What do you say, my little prince? This looks great, I will buy a harness like that as soon as we come home.&rdquo;<br />I couldn&rsquo;t say anything, since Nikki looked like a very wet dream, if you know what I mean.&nbsp;&nbsp;My member was fully out of its sheath, and the tent in my shorts was even bigger than before.<br />Nikki came closer to me and swayed her hips seductively. Her long tail moved from one side to the other. Shortly before she reached me, she looked at Hazel, who seemed to be a bit angry at this point.<br />&ldquo;Hazel, darling, would you please help me with Balto&rsquo;s clothes?&rdquo;<br />The girl didn&rsquo;t even give an answer. While Nikki helped me out of my shirt, Hazel quickly came to us, kneeled in front of me and opened my shorts, which she then pulled down in a haste, together with my boxer pants. I felt my cock slapped in her face during that, what made Kirara laugh. Nikki then directed me over to the mattress, where she asked me to make myself comfortable. Hazel was growling. The sour looks on her face made me and Nikki giggle. My girl then walked back to her, gently placed her hand above Hazel&rsquo;s muzzle, and looked her in the eyes.<br />&ldquo;You want my boyfriend&rsquo;s dick? You want to lick and suck it?&rdquo;<br />Hazel could just nod, and Nikki commanded her:<br />&ldquo;Ok. First, get naked.&rdquo;<br />That wasn&rsquo;t a hard task for the girl, since she was only wearing a shirt. Nikki then took her carefully, but with determination, by the neck and led her over to me. <br />She whispered something in her ear that I couldn&#039;t understand and made her kneel. But carefully, since Nikki didn&rsquo;t want to hurt the horny girl.<br />She then pushed hazel&rsquo;s head close to my crotch.<br />&ldquo;Lick his balls.&rdquo;<br />Hazel did that with such a passion, that this alone made me almost cum. Nikki saw that, which is why she stopped Hazel.<br />&ldquo;Enough foreplay. Doggy will soon explode, sweetie. Take his cock deep in your mouth and suck it dry.&rdquo;<br />Hazel swallowed my member with a pleasureful moan, like she had just waited for that to happen again. She moved her head back and forth in such a haste, that it almost hurt. I could hear how she played with her dripping wet pussy while she sucked my cock under Nikki&rsquo;s and Kirara&rsquo;s eyes. I came closer and closer. As I felt my seed searching for its way out, I placed my hands on Hazel&rsquo;s head and shot all my cum in several spurts into her throat and on her face. That was because she had moved her head back after she swallowed the first wave of my warm juice.<br />Even Nikki seemed to be impressed by the amount of sperm.<br />&ldquo;Wow, I didn&rsquo;t know you were that pant up, Balto. Happy now, Hazel?&rdquo;<br />The cum-covered girl was sitting there with a goofy grin on her face.<br />&ldquo;Yes. But I still want him to hump me later.&rdquo;<br />Nikki crossed her arms.<br />&ldquo;Only if you are a good girl. Now you should go and wash your face, Balto came all over you.&rdquo;<br /><br />She looked then at the mess I made on the mattress.<br />&ldquo;Damn it, doggy. I hope Johana isn&rsquo;t mad, if he sees that.&rdquo;<br />At that moment, our Artist entered, and knew exactly what happened.<br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t worry. We can wash the stuff later. As I see, you prepared for the picture, Nikki. You look just, wow.&rdquo;<br />Johana&rsquo;s eyes became as big as soccer balls, while he looked at Nikki&rsquo;s naked body. He stared at her for at least a minute, until he shook his head and walked over to his chair, where Kirara waited for him. She reached him a pencil, while Nikki and I went into position for the picture. I was laying on the cushions again, Nikki gave me the leash, then she went on all fours. She then placed her hand on my still swollen sheath and looked up at me.<br />Johana, while watching us, shouted: <br />&ldquo;Stay like that! I need to make the sketch, so please try not to move. Kirara, please take a few photos of them. I need them for the coloring later because I don&rsquo;t think we can finish it today.&rdquo;<br /><br />Painful hours of not moving followed. Well, I could at least relax in these cushions, but Nikki had to spend all the time kneeling. She later joked that she didn&rsquo;t spend so much time on her knees since a party with Trish during her High School years. I didn&rsquo;t ask her further about it. It somehow saddens me to hear about the other guys who were allowed to have sex with my girl in the past. <br />While Johana was drawing, Hazel and Kirara watched us closely. Hazel was still naked, and still seemed to be horny. I know this from Nikki, she also shows that behavior from time to time. I think in nature, you would say that she is in heat. Kirara was wearing a tight shirt and some cute panties. I swear I could see her hardened nipples underneath that shirt.<br /><br />After about 3 hours, of course with breaks, Johana was done with the part of the drawing he needed us for. Nikki stretched, and I had a wonderful view of her. My girl noticed how I looked at her. She posed for me, while Johana showed the drawing to Kirara. <br />Nikki wanted to tease me, as she turned her back to me and bent over. I had a clear view of her tasty, slightly wet vagina. This view, combined with the tempting scent of my cheetah, made me hard in no time. I licked my lips and wanted to move forward to have a taste, but Nikki stopped me with a sign of her hand. She waved at Hazel, who wagged her tail, as she came closer.<br />Like before, Nikki whispered something into her ear what I couldn&rsquo;t understand. But whatever it was, it made Hazel go down on all fours. The young canine lifted her butt and her tail, presenting her wet sex to me.<br />This situation made me somehow nervous, until I looked over at Johana. To my surprise, Kirara was busy with sucking the impressive cock of Hazel&rsquo;s brother.<br />Nikki gave Hazel a slap on her exposed butt, which made the girl gasping, before she made a step towards me.<br />&ldquo;Come on, Balto. It isn&rsquo;t nice to let a girl wait. Especially if she is wet like young Hazel here.&rdquo;<br />I gulped, as I stood up. With my stiff member bouncing up and down, I made the two or three steps towards Hazel, who raised her butt. She must have really wanted me to mate with her. I went into position, and just as I was about to sink the tip of my cock into Haze&rsquo;s pussy, Nikki stopped me.<br />&ldquo;Wait, Balto. We forgot the condom. We don&rsquo;t want to risk getting that kind of souvenir in a few months. Gladly, I always have one with me.&rdquo;<br />Johana laughed because of what Nikki just said.<br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t worry, Hazel is on the pill.&rdquo;<br />Nikki smiled, but still brought me the condom, and placed it on my manhood. <br />&ldquo;We don&rsquo;t want to risk anything. Besides that, I am the only girl doggy here is allowed to fuck bare. Now go ahead.&rdquo;<br />My girl watched closely, as my member slowly disappeared inside Hazel&rsquo;s tight, wet vagina. The girl moaned happily, I felt how her vulva tightened around my dick.<br />I had to pause a moment, after it was fully inside Hazel.<br />&ldquo;She is so tight.&rdquo;<br />Nikki and Johana laughed. Kirara, well, she had her mouth full. Nikki took my head into her hands and looked deep in my eyes. <br />&ldquo;Fuck her, don&rsquo;t hold back. She wants it badly.&rdquo;<br />I grabbed Hazel by her hips, moved back, and as my cock was almost completely out, I slammed it hard back inside. Hazel screamed in lust and pressed herself against me. Nikki sat down on the cushions to watch us, while she rubbed her wet cunt. I moved out and back in a few more times, until I changed to a steadier speed. The sounds that Hazel made showed clearly how she enjoyed the situation. Slowly I increased the speed of my humps. A quick glance over to Johana let me witness how he was humping Kirara from behind. But other than me and his sister, he fucked his girl while standing behind her. By the expression on the girl&rsquo;s face, he must have been balls deep inside her. <br /><br />My knot began to swell after about 10 minutes of lustful humping. With every thrust, it pressed against Hazel&rsquo;s dripping wet hole. The young canine whimpered and moaned when I increased my speed once more. Again, and again my knot pressed against the tight entrance, I felt how Hazel pressed herself against me in the rhythm of my thrusts. I looked at Nikki, just to see how my girl fingering herself with one hand, while the other one massaged her breasts. Instincts now took over my body, I wanted to hang with Hazel. My hands kept the girl in position, a last time I pulled out, just to push my member&rsquo;s full size hard back into this young, cock-hungry girl. My knot slipped in while Hazel screamed in pleasure. Her whole body began to shake, her panting increased, as she enjoyed her orgasm. This was my sign to give everything I had left. I humped the whimpering girl, even pressed her to the floor now. A few more thrusts later, I shot my warm seed into this tight pussy, or better said, into the condom. I would have loved to cum into Hazel herself, but Nikki was right. Better safe, than sorry.<br /><br />I was exhausted. As far as it was possible, I laid down on Hazel&rsquo;s back. Minutes later, Kirara came over to us. She was standing right above us, and I could see her vagina dripping. But not from her juices, if you know what I mean. Nikki also walked closer.<br />&ldquo;Looks like these two have worn themselves out.&rdquo;<br /><br />Nikki patted my head.<br />&ldquo;Good boy, Balto.&rdquo;<br />Kirara chuckled.<br />&ldquo;Nikki, why didn&rsquo;t you join them? You just watched us all having sex.&rdquo;<br />Nikki was a bit embarrassed by this question.<br />&ldquo;Well, not that I wouldn&rsquo;t have liked it, but Balto is the only minor I have sex with. And him using his skills on Hazel was a nice thing to watch. Besides that, you and Johana seemed to have a lot of fun together, too.&rdquo;<br />The Doberman Pinscher girl smiled while she looked at Nikki, who was still wearing the harness at this moment.<br />&ldquo;We sure had. And Nikki, you look wonderful. I love your breasts. And these hips, oh I could kill for hips like that. The drawing sure will turn out great, if it is finished.&rdquo;<br /><br />While the girls talked, I tried to pull my cock out. 15 minutes after my climax, the knot was finally small enough to pass the entry of Hazel&rsquo;s still wet pussy. Hazel remained laying on the floor, as I carefully pulled my member out. The condom was filled with a good amount of cum, and almost slipped down. Nikki lent me a helping hand, taking that thing off me.<br />&ldquo;I guess we need bigger condoms in the future. I will go wash it out, how about some dinner then?&rdquo;<br />Meanwhile, Hazel had tun herself on her back. She had a satisfied grin on her face after she saw the filled condom. <br />For my part, I had to go to the bathroom after this. Nikki and I went to the one close to Johana&rsquo;s room, where Nikki washed out the condom and took off the harness, collar, and the cuffs. I was just about to empty my bladder when she stopped me. <br /><br />&ldquo;Wait, my little prince.&rdquo;<br />She dragged me into the shower cabin, kneeled and looked up at me.<br />&ldquo;Come one, you know what I want from you, Fluffy. Quick, before anyone comes in.&rdquo;<br />Well, how could I resist such an offer? I stepped into position, pulled my sheath back a bit, pointed the tip of my cock at Nikki and marked her. The cheetah even opened her mouth and swallowed some of my urine. I wish you could have seen her in that situation. All wet, needy, sitting in the shower like the naughty little bitch she sometimes is.<br />After this golden shower, I helped her to get clean before we rejoined the others. Back in Johana&rsquo;s room, we saw something we wouldn&rsquo;t have expected. Kirara was sitting on the edge of the big bed, her legs spread, with Hazel licking her out enthusiastically. As Hazel turned her head to us, we could see her wet muzzle, which was covered in sperm and vaginal fluids alike. She is really a naughty girl. Nikki, while watching the scene, spoke silently:<br />&ldquo;That also reminds me of my games with Trish, when we were younger.&rdquo;<br /><br />My mind drifted away in thoughts. Nikki and Trish must have been the hit at every party. Imagining them playing with each other aroused me. Nikki walked over to the bed with me, so we could join Johana, who sat there and watched his sister cleaning Kirara&rsquo;s pussy. This went on until Kirara reached a nice climax, which made her scream.<br />After the girls were done, we helped to clean the room. As you can imagine, it was messy after all that. <br />Johana and Hazel later prepared a tasteful Spaghetti dinner for all of us. It was done shortly before Holly and Rory came back home. During dinner, they told us about their trip. This water park sounded like a fun place to be.<br />For the remainder of the day we talked, watched music videos, Holly showed us some more tricks for a better performance, and Nikki reserved our seats for the flight on the next day.<br />It was midnight again, as my girl and I went upstairs to our room. I only wrote a note to my mother that day, telling her that everything was fine.<br />Before we went to bed, we packed our stuff together, so we didn&rsquo;t have to do that in the morning. During that, I saw Little Balto, who was still inside his transport box. I have totally forgotten him during the week. At 1 am, Nikki and I finally went to bed.<br />&nbsp;<br />Part 4: The Journey back home<br /><br /><br />Our day began early in the morning. We stood up, got dressed and joined Holly in the kitchen downstairs. She welcomed us with a smile.<br />&ldquo;Good morning, you two. You are up early. Usually, I am alone with Rory until 9. Sit down, have some food. Nikki, do you want a coffee?&rdquo;<br />Nikki answered happily:<br />&ldquo;Yes, please.&rdquo;<br />Holly then looked at me.<br />&ldquo;And cocoa for you, Balto?&rdquo;<br />I wagged my tail.<br />&ldquo;Yes, please. Can I have marshmallows in it?&rdquo;<br />Holly smiled, while she took the package out of the cupboard.<br />&ldquo;Sure, sweetie.&rdquo;<br />Nikki and I sat down at the table, where Rory was eating some fruit compote.<br />Holly joined us shortly after, with a cup of coffee for Nikki and my cocoa in her hands. She sat down next to her youngest son, before she began a little conversation.<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, so tell me. How was your week at our home? Did you enjoy your stay here?&rdquo;<br />Nikki spoke up, since I had my mouth filled with marshmallows.<br />&ldquo;It was amazing, Holly. Johana and Hazel were so kind to us, and you helped us so much. The tips you gave us, the time in this restaurant, I will never forget that.&rdquo;<br />I added, after I swallowed this sticky piece of sugar:<br />&ldquo;And you were much nicer than Severa Abbas! I thought that famous people are all arrogant and self-centered, but you are cool.&rdquo;<br />Holly laughed loud.<br />&ldquo;Thanks, Balto. I am just like every other mother who works to feed her family.&rdquo; <br />She looked at Nikki and me with a smile. Before she continued,<br />&ldquo;I see great things coming for both of you. Oh, yes. I talked to my agent before, and we most likely will have a little charity concert in Darwin&rsquo;s Hope in December. I would be happy to see you there, and maybe the rest of your group. And in case you don&rsquo;t know, the video from the restaurant got many likes and positive comments on my social media accounts. Believe me if I say that you should record and post things like that yourself. I heard that you played in New York, has anyone recorded that? I couldn&rsquo;t find anything on Pawtube or YouTube.&rdquo; <br />Nikki and I had to think for a moment, then We both shook our heads, and Nikki answered:<br />&ldquo;No, at least not in a good enough quality. Maybe the theater recorded something, I will ask the director of my college.&rdquo;<br />Holly sighed and cleaned Rory. The little guy had eaten his breakfast with his whole face.<br />&ldquo;Do that. And in the future, be sure to record stuff like that with a good camera. I always liked musicals and theater. Hey, perhaps I can watch one of your shows in the future.&rdquo;<br />This last sentence made Nikki smile.<br />&ldquo;That would be an honor for us, Holly. Our next play will be Mamma Mia, this musical from ABBA.&rdquo;<br />That made Holly turn her head back to Nikki.<br />&ldquo;Mamma Mia? Not really my musical style, but it sounds fun. If you know a date for the performance, call me.&rdquo;<br />Nikki nodded.<br />&ldquo;We sure will. I bet that our parents would like to meet you too. You could stay at our homes, we have plenty of space, and even a cabin at Spaulding Lake.&rdquo;<br />Holly helped Rory off the chair, and the little guy ran into the living room. Guess he wanted to watch cartoons.<br />Holly seemed surprised about Nikki&rsquo;s invitation.<br />&ldquo;That is a very generous offer. I will keep it in mind, Nikki. At least for the kids. For them, it would be much nicer to sleep in a home instead of a hotel.&rdquo;<br />At that moment, my phone rang. It was mommy calling me on a video call. Of course, I took the call. I waved exited at my smiling mother.<br />&ldquo;Hey mommy! Good morning! We are just having breakfast. Wait, I just will go outside.&rdquo;<br />It was Holly, who stopped me.<br />&ldquo;Wait, Balto, stay. I would like to say hi to your mom.&rdquo;<br />She came around the table to sit next to me. I placed my phone on the table, so we all could talk to my now surprised mother.<br />Holly waved her hand at the screen, which my mom returned.<br />&ldquo;Hello Mrs. Star! I am Hazel&rsquo;s and Johana&rsquo;s mother. I am pleased to meet you.&rdquo;<br />My mom still seemed a bit irritated.<br />&ldquo;Hello, Mrs. Rhoads-Hunter. I hope that Balto and Nicole didn&rsquo;t cause any problems during their stay at your home.&rdquo;<br />Holly rubbed my back, what made me smile.<br />&ldquo;Not at all. It was a pleasure having them here. Balto is such a well-behaved boy, I can only congratulate you on how you raised him. And Nikki impressed me with her fantastic voice. We only have to teach our parrot Marley to be more careful around felines.&rdquo;<br />I did my best not to laugh out loud after this reference to Nikki&#039;s meeting with Marley at the beginning of our vacation.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />Mommy also giggled a bit, while Nikki hid her face and mumbled something I couldn&#039;t understand.<br />&ldquo;Thank you, that is so nice to hear. And I hope your parrot will recover from that shock.&rdquo;<br />Holly took a sip of the coffee she had,<br />&ldquo;It is my pleasure, Mrs. Star. And don&rsquo;t worry about Marley, I don&rsquo;t think he even knows that he was close to becoming dinner. During the week we visited our town here, and I went with Balto and Nikki to a restaurant, which has a stage for concerts and events. <br />We sang together, it was so much fun. This was also recorded, and I uploaded it to my social media accounts. The viewers loved the performance. You can be proud of your son, Mrs. Star.&rdquo;<br />Mom looked somehow worried, but then said,<br />&ldquo;Well, as long as Balto and Nicole don&#039;t suffer any negative consequences because of it, it&#039;s okay.&rdquo;<br /><br />Holly agreed to this, and after a few more sentences, we ended the call.<br />Hazel, Johana, and Kirara joined us shortly after, and we all finished our breakfast together. For the remaining time, we sat together, talked, and laughed. Among other things, Nikki told stories about our two journeys to New York.<br />Our time for leaving came too fast, and we had to say goodbye to this place. Kirara stayed with Rory again, while Johana and Hazel joined our trip to the airport. Holly, Johana, and Hazel accompanied us inside the airport, where we said goodbye to our dear friends. After a last group photo, it was time to go. On our way to the gate, we passed a few restaurants. But this time I decided to skip eating before the flight altogether, which is why I didn&#039;t eat anything at breakfast either. <br />As it was time to board our plane, Nikki and I were again able to get inside as one of the first passengers. <br />There was nothing during the flight worth mentioning. I didn&rsquo;t need the barf bag again, but in exchange for that, I was hungry like, let me say, like a wolf, when we landed in Buffalo.<br />Mom was waiting for us in the arrival hall. She gave Nikki and me a happy hug, then we walked to our car and drove to Niagara Falls. I really like living here, we have so many beautiful landmarks in our state. During the drive, I wrote Hazel and Johana a message, that we arrived well and what we will do during the rest of the weekend. Right after our arrival in Niagara Falls, we visited the Goodfellas Pizzeria. And damn, this place has good pizza!<br />We had two big ones, plus some onion rings and a few Buffalo Wings. I can only recommend this place to everyone who comes here. <br />After dinner, we drove to the Niagara Falls Visitor Center. We made a long walk, during which we talked about our vacation. Mom was especially interested to hear about the University in Ann Arbor. I don&rsquo;t know why, since I really want to attend Stark College after High School. <br />My favorite part of the vacation was, without any doubt, our visit to this restaurant, where we sang together with Holly. My second favorite was the drawing session with Johana.<br />The worst thing, well, that was the dream I had. The one in which I met my dad. <br /><br />We stayed at the Falls for a long time. At night, we watched the fireworks and the light show. A cold wind came up, as we three were standing on the iron railing above the waterfalls. Even I was freezing a bit. Not to mention Nikki, who was only wearing shorts and a belly free top. It was pretty warm until that point, so we didn&rsquo;t bring our hoodies. We decided to walk back to our car at the visitor center, to pick up warmer clothes. We remained at the falls for another hour afterward, before we drove to our motel, the &ldquo;Scottish Inns&rdquo;. Nothing special, but it was very clean, and the beds were nice. Sadly, Nikki and I couldn&rsquo;t have fun together, since we shared the room with my mother.<br /><br />On Sunday, we crossed the border to Canada for a little sightseeing tour. I was so impressed by the look of two Mounties wearing their classical red uniforms and those eye-catching hats. I wonder if those would it to Nikki and me. What do you say? Write it in the comments!<br /><br />And with these lines, I want to finally end this entry. Thank you for reading, <br /><br />Stay safe and healthy, my friends.<br />Until next Time!<br />Yours,<br />Nikki and Balto<br /><br /><br /></span>",
