It was a surprisingly comfortable bed and honestly he didn't see the value in getting up. That was at least until he checked his phone. His bleary vision made out the fuzzy numbers and it took a moment for his brain to interpret them. It was seven fifty and he had work in about an hour. He lay back and considered the comfort of the bed then his heart jumped at the last part of that thought. He had work in about an hour! \n\nJake sat up this time around looking to recheck the clock, it was seven fifty-two now. He had meant to be up at seven but had forgotten his alarm. A snore from across the camper told him that the deer was still fast asleep. He had to go fast but didn't want to wake up his friend. At least his mind was clearing up faster than yesterday. The adrenaline fueled wake up and a lack of alcohol in his blood allowed him to shake the sleep with all the vigor of a morning person. Clarity of mind restored, Jake reached into his bag and took out a set of the black work pants and chef coat. He grabbed socks and a tee shirt too. And then to top the pile he added a towel. Today it would be his turn with the douche but he would have to make it quick.\n\nJake looked back at the sleeping deer once more before exiting the camper satisfied that he would have privacy. It was a bit chill this morning, not cold but not his idea streaking weather either. The bear felt a shiver run up his back as he considered the idea of how cold the water in the shower may have gotten over night. He passed the mailbox and lifted the flag then made his way to the end of the path. Hanging from the tree, just above the camper, the bag was catching the morning sun light. Jake crossed his fingers before setting about his work. He laid the mat down then set his cloths on the lip of the camper's bumper. The towel had a hanger just next to the window and closer to the bag.\n\n``Here I go'' he said to no one in particular and dropped the blue boxers. He stepped each paw out then tossed the boxers onto the pile of clean clothes. Bare, but for his bed tussled fur, Jacob looked himself over. The colder morning had made his member pull in a bit more and the bear was not amused by the effect. He turned away from the camper letting his bladder drain from the night and at the same time, since he didn't need to focus on aiming, he found the shower head unwinding it for use. As the last of his dribbles faded he opened the shower head and let the water run over him.\n\nThe water was not cold but it was cool, certainly not the warm embrace he normally enjoyed, but it would work. He rinsed progressively going faster as the water chilled his skin. It was most certainly a rinse rather than a wash. Jake had never finished in the shower so fast. He probably hadn't used even half of the water but his fur was soaked through and cleansed. He returned the shower head to it's upright position and groped for the towel. He was grateful when the claw of his finger grasped the fabric, as a breeze had picked up and it was a bit chillier between his knees than he would have normally experienced. It was at this point that Jake once again realized that he was standing outside stark naked and he was self-conscious. He looked down again and was dismayed to see he had become even smaller thinking to himself `well... there's nothing to hide now'. \n\nA click and creek alerted the bear to the fact that the door to the camper had opened followed by a sharp clak as it shut. His heart beat a little harder and his chest tensed. The odd numb feeling he was experiencing came from the sudden thoughts running through his mind. `Will he see the mail box? Is he coming this way? Had he seen him from inside the camper.!' \n\nThe bear had covered himself with his paws for a moment as he held his breath but nothing happened. He figured he could take a peek with a decent amount of security. He edged closer to the window set by the deer's bed and couldn't see anyone inside but then that made sense. Slowly he stepped off the mat and sidled over to the second window, the one over the sink, and peered in again and then out through the window on the door. Oliver was over by the spigot now dressed in a shirt and basket ball shorts. Jake felt his heart pound harder at the thought of staring down his friend in his own current state of undress. It was a childishly naughty thought haha I'm naked and you cant see me.\n\n A normally quiet part of the bears mind whispered in his ear `jump out and scare the shit out of him' but he pulled away when he realized the deer was turning back to the camper. His whole body shook a bit, he once again heard the door open and then close, `no choice get back to the mat' he thought. That was what he did but this time he felt even more exposed. What if Olly decided to look out and saw him? He had to prevent that from happening.\n\n It was an odd thought since he clearly couldn't stop the buck from doing just that and if he did look his friend definitely wouldn't bring it up in conversation. More than all that what would it matter if he did. They were both boys after all nothing out of the ordinary going on. The quiet voice now emboldened by the situation pulled him back to the revelation he hadn't even noticed. Olly couldn't talk about it.\n\n If he saw him naked the deer could never bring it up with out admitting to looking. The erratic thud of his heart slowed and the tightness in his chest changed to an oddly warm numbness. This was power. Jake had been afraid of the idea of being seen accidently and having to face the situation, but if Olly were to see him when he otherwise should not have been looking well now that was his problem. If this had been another setting the bear might have laughed in a manner most evil. Alas he was wet, cold and naked, on the edge of the woods behind a camper. \n\nThe bear took a deep and relieving breath as the new mental argument seemed to clear his anxiety. He relaxed and set about drying his fur still peering out at the path. He now wrapped the towel around his broad back and shimmied it downhis spine, the friction lending some needed warmth. While he did he saw the form of his friend walking temporarily into view from the showering spot and then out of sight down the wooded path. He blushed. Jacob now felt compelled to investigate once more. The brown bear walked over the middle window again this time not afraid of being caught. When he peered in what he saw confirmed his suspicions. The trowel was no longer hanging on the door, Olly was off to answer the call of nature. Jake looked down again now he was at full attention. He really did want to just go for it and have fun but then he remembered why he was out here at all.\n\n``Oh crap what time is it?!'' he rushed to dry the rest of his fur then pulled his boxers back on and slipped his footpaws into his pants. His tented boxers made this a little more difficult, he had to tuck the fabric down a bit to keep his underwear from sticking out over the top of his pants. In a jiff he was dressed enough to find a chair to sit in and tend to the more complicated parts like socks and shoes. Socks on and shoes laced he ran back into the camper to grab the keys and wallet that would be vital for his departure. As Jake made his way over to the exit of the quiet spot the deer boy emerged from the back trail.\n\n``Mornin boyo! How was the shower?'' Olly's grin could not have dripped with more sarcasm. \n\n``Oh I don't know I'd call it brisk and refreshing'' Jake fired back.\n\n``Oh really?'' the deer sounded almost convinced, almost.\n\n``No it was cold. see ya later man.'' The bear waved and continued on his way. His chest was tight and he was anxious, not just to start his first day but at the prospect of being late on his first day.\n\n``Good luck'' was the buck's last farewell as he reentered the camper, presumably to lay down a little longer. Or was he perhaps going to lay down and play with himself just as Jake so longed to do. ``Oh god I'm horny in the morning even with a cold shower'' he said to himself in the car. Nimble fingers twisted the key and brought the engin to life. Around his groin the bear noted his pants becoming tight. ``Just have to go to work and get through the day I'm sure I'll have time when I get home tonight to play with you now behave'' he chided his own body.\n\nThe car backed out of the spot then turned and left the peace of the field. It was a shame to return to real life but he had to eventually. Down a couple roads his phone guided him to the restaurant it was close and traffic was non existent so the bear arrived at the place on time. It was a small white clap-board building with two levels. The back looked to be fenced it and likely served as an outside seating area for the summer time.\tIt could have passed as a home were it not for the parking lot that surrounded it, standing in for what would have been a fairly large front lawn. Cautiously the bear guided the vehicle into the lot and parked by the tree line. Considering that it was close to the dumpster Jake figured that this must be the spots meant for the employees.\n\nParking here also brought into view a back door that, judging by the exhaust vents on the roof, must lead to the kitchen. The only problem being he was alone. The only car in the whole lot. Singled out and likely looking suspicious. This was the right place, right? Maybe she's already here he thought. Jacob opened the door and slowly got out making sure to grab his apron and hat so he wouldn't have to make a return trip. \n\n \n\nThe slamming of his door would have echoed in the quiet morning had there been the proper structures around to produce an echo, of course he still heard it in his mind. Jake shook his head a bit to drive out the creeping anxiety but it was no help for the knots coiling up in his stomach. `No choice gotta try the front door' coaxed his mind. Logically the bear boy knew that there was no reason to be nervous. He wasn't doing anything wrong, certainly wasn't breaking any laws, and with the chef coat on no one would question whether or not he belonged here. But what if they did. Ugh his anxiety loved to have the last word. In a forced calm walk he headed around to the front door noting that the windows were dark so no lights inside. His clawed fingers grasped the handle to the left side of the double front entry and pulled back. It was locked. He was alone, the building was locked and he had no way of contacting anyone about it. `Oh god was this the right day am I just early is this the wrong time or the wrong place should I be at the back door did they forget me' the door may not have opened but the flood gates to his deeper issues had. Jake took a deep breath and stepped back. \n\n``This is stupid, your fine, this IS the right place and time. You just have to wait.'' it wasn't great comfort but the bear stopped shaking and returned to his car. Again his mind knew logically that this wasn't a big deal but he never could seem to shake this feeling. In the car he waited. \n\nA half hour passed before a grey SUV pulled into the parking lot. It stopped close to the front door clearly not caring who might object and almost unexpectedly out stepped, or more accurately dropped, a short donkey. She was an older woman with greying fur that had once been brown and in a few spots still was, but despite her age she was quite steady on her feet. A slight haunch had developed in her back and her face was stubborn and stern but as she looked at Jake getting out of his car she smiled.\n\n``You must be the new prep kid right?! Haha'' she chuckled but didn't wait for the bear's response. ``Good good we'll have to get you a key so you don't have to wait for me'' she gestured for him to follow. ``Come on OH! I'm Sophia by the way and you?''Jake had to work to catch up with the elder woman, for her age and height she got around fast enough. \n\n``Yes nice to meet you. I'm Jacob or Jake. Jay works too I guess, honestly as soon as there happens to be more than one Jake in a class I get bumped down to J'' His voice was getting high and he could feel his nerves fraying again, but this was cut short as the donkey stopped at the front door and turned to him as she fiddled with the lock. \n\n``Well then Jake it is and if we get another Jacob I'll bump him down to jay'' the lock clicked over with the clunk of metal on wood. And she headed in ``IF I like ya that is'' she glared back at the bear boy but a playful grin was on her lips.\n\nThe morning seemed to fly by with a tour of the kitchen being brief and the rest of the restaurant being introduced as needed. The kitchen was stuffy to say the least when they entered. The elder moved some containers aside on a shelf by the range. With a click the fans roared to life. In an instant it was like the kitchen itself was being awoken from the night's sleep. Next came lights and finally the back door was opened bringing a much needed breath of the fresh morning air. That same air that had earlier chilled his bearhood into a peanut now felt more refreshing than just morning chill.\n\n``Next I take you to the most important stop in the tour, the coffee maker.'' Sophia beckoned him to follow with a wave over her shoulder as she walked to the dining room. The pair entered a small room blocked from the rest of the dining area by a curtain. Jacob couldn't help but notice that the restaurant was a fairly dark. The walls were slate grey, the floors a black laminate of some pattern, and the wood molding on the walls and bar all painted black. He guessed it was modern and what the owner had envisioned but to the bear's eyes it was just cold. But then hey he didn't paint it so not his problem. The cloth of the curtains fell back into place cutting them off from the dimly lit public area. the service room was bright despite being painted the same as the rest of the diningroom after all you didn't need the waitresses tripping over each other. It was a closet of a space packed with all the extra necessities of a food service establishment. The back shelf was home to an espresso machine and a four pot coffee maker. Sophia loaded the machine with a preportioned bag of the aromatic beans. \n\nJake inhaled loving the sweet warm smell of the coffee. He had always been disappointed that the drink itself tasted very little like the smell but it woke him up and kept him going even when he spent the night playing games rather than sleeping. The machine clicked and whined as the stout equine brought it to life. Soon the pot was filling. From above she took two glasses and clomped them down on the wooden shelf. From below she pulled a gallon of milk. In one she filled about a quarter with the sweet white liquid and then turned to Jake and offered the jug.\n\n``Ok how do ya take it?'' he accepted and filled his glass little over half way. He replaced the cap and returned the jug to the mini fridge. The donkey regarded the bear for a moment sizing up his emotional fortitude then decided to poke the bear anyway.\n\n``Jeez kid ya got any hair on yah bawls yet? Ya might as well just drink the milk.'' she ginned and elbowed him out of her way to get better access to the finished brew. With one brown glass and one tan they headed back to the kitchen to make gnocci. This was most of the morning.\n\n The food was easy enough to make and the bear boy felt he'd have the recipes down pact pretty soon, the only thing he'd need time to really get use to was the cramped prep area. It was a small section of the kitchen, not theat the rest of the kitchen was much bigger but it was pretty well enclosed. They had a table with pots gallor underneath. Three haphazard spice shelves with containers hopelessly disorganized across them. A deep two bay stainless steel sink for veggies and an ice machine that hummed and heated the enclosed space. This was to be his home. \n\nThe other cooks didnt start showing up until eleven that was when the place really heated up. The fry cook that introduced himself as Terry turned on the flames to every burner on the range top to start heating soups and sauces. Terry was a disheveled looking tan fox who's over all complexion suggested that he had just barely survived his twenties. The head chef was also in the kitchen. Dan was a quiet brown wolf that had a permanent scowl as his resting face. He had been nice enough when they had talked during his interview but some how he just didn't seem approachable. The wolf was the opposite of the fox in appearance. Where the fox was lanky armed with a slight beer belly and unkempt fur Dan was taught and angular with a glistening coat. Their apparent differences aside the two were familiar and Terry seemed able to chatter away at the wolf with out the still mostly silent fur giving any indication of annoyance.\n\nWhen Terry introduced himself he was easy enough to read for Jake. More accurately he seemed easy enough to converse with. Not too withdrawn as to force Jake to be the one driving conversation because that would never work, but also not so outgoing that he would become annoying. Dan on the other paw was quiet. Jake had no idea how to deal with him so for now it was speak when spoken to. \n\nThe fox and wolf set out pots on the range top and soon fire burned hot below them. Sauces bubbled and soups boiled. The smell of the kitchen livened up and was delicious. The bear found his stomach rumbling, he was getting hungry. The older woman and he continued to prepare foods. They chopped lettuce for the salad station, mixed vinaigrettes for dressing, blended herbs, roasted chicken, and diced a host of vegetables. None of this satisfied his belly but it was good work and the clock was almost rundown. \n\nTerry and Dan worked the few tickets that came in, Monday lunch was slow. Servers introduced themselves and Jake quickly forgot their names. All in all this had been a good day. Sure his stomach was still peeved but he hadn't burnt anything nor had he spilled a pot. After the first day it was open season but either one ON your first day was a bad omen. Sophia looked at a paper list on the wall and turned back to the larger bear. \n\n``Ok cub the rest is up to you. Recipe book is there'' She pointed to the shelf ``you can figure it out I hope'' she jabbed him and laughed as she trotted away to the diningroom. ``See ya in the morning''\n\n``Have a good day'' he called back before reading the last item she had left him. He chuckled to himself in the small prep space next to the loud ice machine. Portion pasta. ``Yeah I think I got that.'' he walked in to the dimly lit cooler and looked for the plastic container of linguini. His paw found it and gripped and as the container slid from the shelf it pulled with it another container that quickly dropped. The bear felt his stomach bottom out as the container's top separated and spilled the meatballs inside, out. \n\nTwo....just two balls. ``Oh thank god'' he sighed relieved that some one had opted to leave just two in the over sized contained. He picked them up, plopping the errant food back into place before adding the container to his pasta pile. Outside he dumped the meatballs and left the container in the dish pit. \n\nThis was his last hour and one more cook had come in for the dinner shift. He was Paul an otter with a rather playful attitude. He was roughly Jacob's height but with none of the fuzz or fat. His fur was a light tan and his whiskers were long taking odd angles as he smiled. Something about the man's shape made Jake want to reach out and touch his abs, a strictly impossible action that would never happen. The youthful otter bent over to toss a pan into the oven as Jake brought the last of his dishes to the pit for cleaning. It seemed like Paul had intentionally lifted his tail as he passed. This combine with the fact that he was clad in loose light running pants gave him more than just a view of his doubtlessly tight ass. Jake was glad he had an apron on. \n\nThe day was done for Jake but he still made sure to check in with Dan but found the answer to be ``See ya'' and a smile. Jake said good night to the guys and stopped at a computer to clock out. He kept the apron on till he reached his car. `one day down' as the ignition brought the car to life. A short ride and he was back in the embrace of the forest.\n\nIt was comfortably warm out but the bear had the terrible thought that soon enough it was be humid all night thru. He dismissed it and got out of the vehicle now parked next to Olly's dad's truck. Looked like they had visitors and judging from the smells on the air they brought food, the best kind of guest. As he walked into the camp the smells got stronger hand his maw dripped with hunger. \n\n``Hey buddy bear welcome home!'' the buck greeted him loudly, standing and walking to meet him, his father at the grill nodded curtly. They clapped arms in a manly hug then headed back to the sight. ``Pops has been fixin some food for us something about not wanting us to starve'' Jake grinned.\n\n``Its like a gold fish if you drop it into the new water with out giving it time to adapt it dies.'' came the elder buck's soft words. The door to the camper opened and out came the doe from the other day. This time she had jeans and a blue tee instead of a frock. \n\n``Yeah im sure you'll eventually be able to feed yourselves'' she leaned over her son and sniffed, screwing her face in mock revulsion. ``And maybe even bath at some point''\n\n``I showered yesterday I'll have you know and Jake here did this morning'' he faced her now crossing his arms.\n\n``Sure you did my sweet boy If that's what you say then I'm sure its true'' she pinched his cheek before taking a seat at the picnic table. \n\n``I wouldn't exactly call it a shower mostly I froze the dirt off'' Jacob said taking a seat in the lounger glad to be off his aching paws. \n\n``Well with next weeks forecast I'd say you might not mind a cold shower'' Mr. Trudoe added while taking hot dogs off the fire. He didn't continue but it was clear he meant hot weather was on the way. Instead he passed the food out to the gathered furs and they gratefully took it.\t\n\nThe dinner continued for another hour and a half before the grill was cleaned up and plates tossed in the trash. Good byes were said and the two teens were left to the privacy of the fire. Jake was tired tonight and had the next few days of work to go. So with one last piss in the woods he headed in finding that sleep came quick. Olly came in shortly after but the bear never heard it.\n\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "  SEQ CHAPTER \\h \\r 1 Ch 3

A click and creek alerted the bear to the fact that the door to the camper had opened followed by a sharp clak as it shut. His heart beat a little harder and his chest tensed. The odd numb feeling he was experiencing came from the sudden thoughts running through his mind. `Will he see the mail box? Is he coming this way? Had he seen him from inside the camper.!'

The bear had covered himself with his paws for a moment as he held his breath but nothing happened. He figured he could take a peek with a decent amount of security. He edged closer to the window set by the deer's bed and couldn't see anyone inside but then that made sense. Slowly he stepped off the mat and sidled over to the second window, the one over the sink, and peered in again and then out through the window on the door. Oliver was over by the spigot now dressed in a shirt and basket ball shorts. Jake felt his heart pound harder at the thought of staring down his friend in his own current state of undress. It was a childishly naughty thought haha I'm naked and you cant see me.

 A normally quiet part of the bears mind whispered in his ear `jump out and scare the shit out of him' but he pulled away when he realized the deer was turning back to the camper. His whole body shook a bit, he once again heard the door open and then close, `no choice get back to the mat' he thought. That was what he did but this time he felt even more exposed. What if Olly decided to look out and saw him? He had to prevent that from happening.

 It was an odd thought since he clearly couldn't stop the buck from doing just that and if he did look his friend definitely wouldn't bring it up in conversation. More than all that what would it matter if he did. They were both boys after all nothing out of the ordinary going on. The quiet voice now emboldened by the situation pulled him back to the revelation he hadn't even noticed. Olly couldn't talk about it.

 If he saw him naked the deer could never bring it up with out admitting to looking. The erratic thud of his heart slowed and the tightness in his chest changed to an oddly warm numbness. This was power. Jake had been afraid of the idea of being seen accidently and having to face the situation, but if Olly were to see him when he otherwise should not have been looking well now that was his problem. If this had been another setting the bear might have laughed in a manner most evil. Alas he was wet, cold and naked, on the edge of the woods behind a camper.

The bear took a deep and relieving breath as the new mental argument seemed to clear his anxiety. He relaxed and set about drying his fur still peering out at the path. He now wrapped the towel around his broad back and shimmied it downhis spine, the friction lending some needed warmth. While he did he saw the form of his friend walking temporarily into view from the showering spot and then out of sight down the wooded path. He blushed. Jacob now felt compelled to investigate once more. The brown bear walked over the middle window again this time not afraid of being caught. When he peered in what he saw confirmed his suspicions. The trowel was no longer hanging on the door, Olly was off to answer the call of nature. Jake looked down again now he was at full attention. He really did want to just go for it and have fun but then he remembered why he was out here at all.

``Oh crap what time is it?!'' he rushed to dry the rest of his fur then pulled his boxers back on and slipped his footpaws into his pants. His tented boxers made this a little more difficult, he had to tuck the fabric down a bit to keep his underwear from sticking out over the top of his pants. In a jiff he was dressed enough to find a chair to sit in and tend to the more complicated parts like socks and shoes. Socks on and shoes laced he ran back into the camper to grab the keys and wallet that would be vital for his departure. As Jake made his way over to the exit of the quiet spot the deer boy emerged from the back trail.

``Mornin boyo! How was the shower?'' Olly's grin could not have dripped with more sarcasm.

``Oh I don't know I'd call it brisk and refreshing'' Jake fired back.

``Oh really?'' the deer sounded almost convinced, almost.

``No it was cold. see ya later man.''  The bear waved and continued on his way. His chest was tight and he was anxious, not just to start his first day but at the prospect of being late on his first day.

``Good luck'' was the buck's last farewell as he reentered the camper, presumably to lay down a little longer. Or was he perhaps going to lay down and play with himself just as Jake so longed to do. ``Oh god I'm horny in the morning even with a cold shower'' he said to himself in the car. Nimble fingers twisted the key and brought the engin to life. Around his groin the bear noted his pants becoming tight. ``Just have to go to work and get through the day I'm sure I'll have time when I get home tonight to play with you now behave'' he chided his own body.

The car backed out of the spot then turned and left the peace of the field. It was a shame to return to real life but he had to eventually. Down a couple roads his phone guided him to the restaurant it was close and traffic was non existent so the bear arrived at the place on time. It was a small white clap-board building with two levels. The back looked to be fenced it and likely served as an outside seating area for the summer time.\tIt could have passed as a home were it not for the parking lot that surrounded it, standing in for what would have been a fairly large front lawn. Cautiously the bear guided the vehicle into the lot and parked by the tree line. Considering that it was close to the dumpster Jake figured that this must be the spots meant for the employees.

Parking here also brought into view a back door that, judging by the exhaust vents on the roof, must lead to the kitchen. The only problem being he was alone. The only car in the whole lot. Singled out and likely looking suspicious. This was the right place, right? Maybe she's already here he thought. Jacob opened the door and slowly got out making sure to grab his apron and hat so he wouldn't have to make a return trip.

 

The slamming of his door would have echoed in the quiet morning had there been the proper structures around to produce an echo, of course he still heard it in his mind. Jake shook his head a bit to drive out the creeping anxiety but it was no help for the knots coiling up in his stomach. `No choice gotta try the front door' coaxed his mind. Logically the bear boy knew that there was no reason to be nervous. He wasn't doing anything wrong, certainly wasn't breaking any laws, and with the chef coat on no one would question whether or not he belonged here. But what if they did. Ugh his anxiety loved to have the last word. In a forced calm walk he headed around to the front door noting that the windows were dark so no lights inside. His clawed fingers grasped the handle to the left side of the double front entry and pulled back. It was locked. He was alone, the building was locked and he had no way of contacting anyone about it. `Oh god was this the right day am I just early is this the wrong time or the wrong place should I be at the back door did they forget me' the door may not have opened but the flood gates to his deeper issues had. Jake took a deep breath and stepped back.

``This is stupid, your fine, this IS the right place and time. You just have to wait.'' it wasn't great comfort but the bear stopped shaking and returned to his car. Again his mind knew logically that this wasn't a big deal but he never could seem to shake this feeling. In the car he waited.

A half hour passed before a grey SUV pulled into the parking lot. It stopped close to the front door clearly not caring who might object and almost unexpectedly out stepped, or more accurately dropped, a short donkey. She was an older woman with greying fur that had once been brown and in a few spots still was, but despite her age she was quite steady on her feet. A slight haunch had developed in her back and her face was stubborn and stern but as she looked at Jake getting out of his car she smiled.

``You must be the new prep kid right?! Haha'' she chuckled but didn't wait for the bear's response. ``Good good we'll have to get you a key so you don't have to wait for me'' she gestured for him to follow. ``Come on OH! I'm Sophia by the way and you?''Jake had to work to catch up with the elder woman, for her age and height she got around fast enough.

``Yes nice to meet you. I'm Jacob or Jake.  Jay works too I guess, honestly as soon as there happens to be more than one Jake in a class I get bumped down to J'' His voice was getting high and he could feel his nerves fraying again, but this was cut short as the donkey stopped at the front door and turned to him as she fiddled with the lock.

``Well then Jake it is and if we get another Jacob I'll bump him down to jay'' the lock clicked over with the clunk of metal on wood. And she headed in ``IF I like ya that is'' she glared back at the bear boy but a playful grin was on her lips.

The morning seemed to fly by with a tour of the kitchen being brief and the rest of the restaurant being introduced as needed. The kitchen was stuffy to say the least when they entered. The elder moved some containers aside on a shelf by the range. With a click the fans roared to life. In an instant it was like the kitchen itself was being awoken from the night's sleep. Next came lights and finally the back door was opened bringing a much needed breath of the fresh morning air. That same air that had earlier chilled his bearhood into a peanut now felt more refreshing than just morning chill.

``Next I take you to the most important stop in the tour, the coffee maker.'' Sophia beckoned him to follow with a wave over her shoulder as she walked to the dining room. The pair entered a small room blocked from the rest of the dining area by a curtain. Jacob couldn't help but notice that the restaurant was a fairly dark. The walls were slate grey, the floors a black laminate of some pattern, and the wood molding on the walls and bar all painted black. He guessed it was modern and what the owner had envisioned but to the bear's eyes it was just cold. But then hey he didn't paint it so not his problem. The cloth of the curtains fell back into place cutting them off from the dimly lit public area. the service room was bright despite being painted the same as the rest of the diningroom after all you didn't need the waitresses tripping over each other. It was a closet of a space packed with all the extra necessities of a food service establishment. The back shelf was home to an espresso machine and a four pot coffee maker. Sophia loaded the machine with a preportioned bag of the aromatic beans.

Jake inhaled loving the sweet warm smell of the coffee. He had always been disappointed that the drink itself tasted very little like the smell but it woke him up and kept him going even when he spent the night playing games rather than sleeping. The machine clicked and whined as the stout equine brought it to life. Soon the pot was filling. From above she took two glasses and clomped them down on the wooden shelf. From below she pulled a gallon of milk. In one she filled about a quarter with the sweet white liquid and then turned to Jake and offered the jug.

``Ok how do ya take it?'' he accepted and filled his glass little over half way. He replaced the cap and returned the jug to the mini fridge. The donkey regarded the bear for a moment sizing up his emotional fortitude then decided to poke the bear anyway.

``Jeez kid ya got any hair on yah bawls yet? Ya might as well just drink the milk.'' she ginned and elbowed him out of her way to get better access to the finished brew. With one brown glass and one tan they headed back to the kitchen to make gnocci. This was most of the morning.

 The food was easy enough to make and the bear boy felt he'd have the recipes down pact pretty soon, the only thing he'd need time to really get use to was the cramped prep area. It was a small section of the kitchen, not theat the rest of the kitchen was much bigger but it was pretty well enclosed. They had a table with pots gallor underneath. Three haphazard spice shelves with containers hopelessly disorganized across them. A deep two bay stainless steel sink for veggies and an ice machine that hummed and heated the enclosed space. This was to be his home.

The other cooks didnt start showing up until eleven that was when the place really heated up. The fry cook that introduced himself as Terry turned on the flames to every burner on the range top to start heating soups and sauces. Terry was a disheveled looking tan fox who's over all complexion suggested that he had just barely survived his twenties. The head chef was also in the kitchen. Dan was a quiet brown wolf that had a permanent scowl as his resting face. He had been nice enough when they had talked during his interview but some how he just didn't seem approachable. The wolf was the opposite of the fox in appearance. Where the fox was lanky armed with a slight beer belly and unkempt fur Dan was taught and angular with a glistening coat. Their apparent differences aside the two were familiar and Terry seemed able to chatter away at the wolf with out the still mostly silent fur giving any indication of annoyance.

When Terry introduced himself he was easy enough to read for Jake. More accurately he seemed easy enough to converse with. Not too withdrawn as to force Jake to be the one driving conversation because that would never work, but also not so outgoing that he would become annoying. Dan on the other paw was quiet. Jake had no idea how to deal with him so for now it was speak when spoken to.  

The fox and wolf set out pots on the range top and soon fire burned hot below them. Sauces bubbled and soups boiled. The smell of the kitchen livened up and was delicious. The bear found his stomach rumbling, he was getting hungry. The older woman and he continued to prepare foods. They chopped lettuce for the salad station, mixed vinaigrettes for dressing, blended herbs, roasted chicken, and diced a host of vegetables. None of this satisfied his belly but it was good work and the clock was almost rundown.

Terry and Dan worked the few tickets that came in, Monday lunch was slow. Servers introduced themselves and Jake quickly forgot their names. All in all this had been a good day. Sure his stomach was still peeved but he hadn't burnt anything nor had he spilled a pot. After the first day it was open season but either one ON your first day was a bad omen. Sophia looked at a paper list on the wall and turned back to the larger bear.

``Ok cub the rest is up to you. Recipe book is there'' She pointed to the shelf ``you can figure it out I hope'' she jabbed him and laughed as she trotted away to the diningroom. ``See ya in the morning''

``Have a good day'' he called back before reading the last item she had left him. He chuckled to himself in the small prep space next to the loud ice machine. Portion pasta. ``Yeah I think I got that.'' he walked in to the dimly lit cooler and looked for the plastic container of linguini. His paw found it and gripped and as the container slid from the shelf it pulled with it another container that quickly dropped. The bear felt his stomach bottom out as the container's top separated and spilled the meatballs inside, out.

Two....just two balls. ``Oh thank god'' he sighed relieved that some one had opted to leave just two in the over sized contained. He picked them up, plopping the errant food back into place before adding the container to his pasta pile. Outside he dumped the meatballs and left the container in the dish pit.

This was his last hour and one more cook had come in for the dinner shift. He was Paul an otter with a rather playful attitude. He was roughly Jacob's height but with none of the fuzz or fat. His fur was a light tan and his whiskers were long taking odd angles as he smiled. Something about the man's shape made Jake want to reach out and touch his abs, a strictly impossible action that would never happen. The youthful otter bent over to toss a pan into the oven as Jake brought the last of his dishes to the pit for cleaning. It seemed like Paul had intentionally lifted his tail as he passed. This combine with the fact that he was clad in loose light running pants gave him more than just a view of his doubtlessly tight ass. Jake was glad he had an apron on.

The day was done for Jake but he still made sure to check in with Dan but found the answer to be ``See ya'' and a smile. Jake said good night to the guys and stopped at a computer to clock out. He kept the apron on till he reached his car. `one day down' as the ignition brought the car to life. A short ride and he was back in the embrace of the forest.

It was comfortably warm out but the bear had the terrible thought that soon enough it was be humid all night thru. He dismissed it and got out of the vehicle now parked next to Olly's dad's truck. Looked like they had visitors and judging from the smells on the air they brought food, the best kind of guest. As he walked into the camp the smells got stronger hand his maw dripped with hunger.

``Hey buddy bear welcome home!'' the buck greeted him loudly, standing and walking to meet him, his father at the grill nodded curtly. They clapped arms in a manly hug then headed back to the sight. ``Pops has been fixin some food for us something about not wanting us to starve'' Jake grinned.

``Its like a gold fish if you drop it into the new water with out giving it time to adapt it dies.'' came the elder buck's soft words. The door to the camper opened and out came the doe from the other day. This time she had jeans and a blue tee instead of a frock.

``Yeah im sure you'll eventually be able to feed yourselves'' she leaned over her son and sniffed, screwing her face in mock revulsion. ``And maybe even bath at some point''

``I showered yesterday I'll have you know and Jake here did this morning'' he faced her now crossing his arms.

``Sure you did my sweet boy If that's what you say then I'm sure its true'' she pinched his cheek before taking a seat at the picnic table.

``I wouldn't exactly call it a shower mostly I froze the dirt off'' Jacob said taking a seat in the lounger glad to be off his aching paws.

``Well with next weeks forecast I'd say you might not mind a cold shower'' Mr. Trudoe added while taking hot dogs off the fire. He didn't continue but it was clear he meant hot weather was on the way. Instead he passed the food out to the gathered furs and they gratefully took it.\t

The dinner continued for another hour and a half before the grill was cleaned up and plates tossed in the trash. Good byes were said and the two teens were left to the privacy of the fire. Jake was tired tonight and had the next few days of work to go. So with one last piss in the woods he headed in finding that sleep came quick. Olly came in shortly after but the bear never heard it.
