Chapter 1 - The Meet up


I'd only been living on the coast for about eighteen months, but even before I had up & left the midwest for literal sunnier shores, one of my online friends was always telling me that if I was ever out on the coast, she & her roommate were going to teach me how to surf, even if it killed me.

I lived about seven blocks from the beach, but in spite of living so close, I'd never actually been there. I'd never met the mysterious roommate of my online friend either, or even seen what she looks like. We never video chatted but my friend did send me a photograph of herself when we'd first met five years ago, though.

I'd woke up that bright Saturday morning & grabbed the things that I'd thought I'd need, including a bottle of suntan lotion, a towel & my cell phone. I then left my apartment, locking it behind me & proceeded down the stairs to to the sidewalk that ran in front of the building.


It only took about ten minutes to get to the beach & when I got there, I received the shock of my life, for standing next to the brown eyed brunette woman that I'd met online with a dufflebag slung over her right shoulder & a surfboard under her left arm, was a quadruped cartoon Lioness, whom I recognized as Nala from The Lion King, having seen that film when I was growing up. I'd thought the cartoons & movies that I'd grown up with had been drawn by animators, not that the characters were actually toon actors in them. Then Nala spoke & I knew that she had been the one that I'd voice chatted with, not the human standing next to her.

"Wait, it was you the whole time?!" I asked, shocked by hearing the voice I'd come to know the past few years.

She nodded & smiled.

"I thought your voice sounded familiar, but I could never quite place it!" I said. "So then who's Heather?"

"I am," said the human woman.

Heather & shook hands & she gestured down the wooden walkway to the beach, so should we get going?" She asked. "Miss Royal Meow here isn't even in her wetsuit yet."

I chuckled at Heather's nickname for Nala.

"And you're not properly dressed either...unless you're planning on surfing like that."

I facepalmed.

"I knew I forgot something!"

"Don't worry," Nala told me. "Heather has an extra swimsuit you can borrow."

I blinked,

"Wait, what?" I asked. "I'm not into crossdressing."

"How do you expect to surf then if you don't have purrr-opurrrr beach attire?" asked Nala.

I shrugged.

"It's settled then. You'll wear my spare swimsuit," Heather told me.

I sighed in resignation, knowing that I couldn't win this debate.


We went down to the beach & Heather & Nala went into one of the changing huts while I stood a ways away. After about twenty minutes, the door to the hut opened & heather stepped out, clad in a black speedo one piece swimsuit, followed by Nala who was clad in a form-fitting pink & purple longsleeve ankle length wetsuit. Nala padded over to me, and did a full turn, so I could get a better view of her outfit. I smiled & nodded in approval.

"Wow!" I said.

The Lioness got on her back legs & rested her front paws on my shoulders as she leaned in close to me.

"Zip me up," she whispered in that sultry voice of hers.

I reached back & slowly did up the zip & once it was all the way up, she gave me the same look she did to Simba in the "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" scene. Then she gave me a long loving lick on my face.

"Mmm, you taste yummy!" she whispered, winking at me.

"Uhh..." I said rather uncomfortably, at being called "Yummy" by a predatory animal, even if she was a cartoon character.

"Now it's your turn to get changed," Heather said.

"I'm not sure how I feel about this," I said. "People will see me in it & I could get arrested for indecent exposure."

"Oh you'll look fabulous," Nala said. "Now be a good cub, and go get changed."

The Lioness reached  up with a foreleg, and patted me on the butt, smiling at me.

I looked over at Heather & she was smiling too.

"I'm really not going to get out of this, am I?" I asked.

"No, now hurry up," she said. "You're wasting good ocean time."

Taking the swimsuit, which was pink of all things, I went into the hut, closing, and locking the door behind me. I then stripped naked & put on the swimsuit. Once I was changed, I folded up my normal clothes, under my left arm, unlocked & opened the door.
