", "writing": "“It’s a Wonderful Online”\n\n*disclaimer I DON’T own any of the characters mentioned in this fanfic. Sabrina Belongs to EWS, and Zig-Zag belongs to Max, the black rabbit. My muse held me up and GUN point and demanded I write this.*\n\nSabrina sighed. She had already finished work and clocked out an hour ago. Now Sabrina was still sitting at her desk waiting for chat friend RC but tonight looked like a bust. The young skunkette looked at the clock and decided she couldn’t wait up anymore. So shutting down her computer, she got up and left. \n\nOn her way out, Sabrina passed her boss’s office. Zig-Zag, the owner of the Double Z adult studios, was burning the midnight oil doing mundane financial paperwork. Zig-Zag said she found it relaxing. Poking her head in, Sabrina told her boss goodnight.\n\nLooking up, Zig-Zag took off her reading glasses and looked at her friend and employee. The tiger skunk-hybrid stretched sensuously, her movement effortlessly oozing sex appeal without even trying. Or she was trying to put on a show for the only other occupant; at this point, Sabrina didn’t know anymore. \n\n“I’ll walk you out.” Zig-zag said.\n\n“Zig. I’m a big girl. I think I can make my way out of a dark building.” Sabrina replied, rolling her eyes.\n\n“Not what I meant, girl; there have been some break-ins around here; lately, I don’t need to tell you how expensive our cameras and computers are. Besides, I have to unlock the door. You don’t have a key remember.” Zig-zag said in a no-nonsense tone that Sabrina only heard when discussing contracts.\n\nSabrina sighed, and together they both made their way through to the front unlocking the front door. Zig-Zag let Sabrina out of the building, blowing her a kiss. Sabrina had long since gotten used to her boss’s antics. Sabrina chuckled and walked to her car. \n\nAs Zig-Zag was about to lock the door, she heard a POP, POP, POP, and Screaming. Opening the door, she saw Sabrina lying down on the pavement, a pool of blood slowly forming around her. Next, she saw someone digging through Sabrina’s purse, trying to find the keys to her car. \n\nQuickly, Zig-Zag approached from behind swiftly and quietly; without warning, she struck with savagery and mercy. She kicked him back of the knee as she grabbed the back of the head. By now, she realized Sabrina’s would-be killer was a weasel. Zig-Zag smashed him against the car again, and she eventually broke him through the driver’s side window.\n\nWhen that happened, Zig-zag let a primal grunt releasing all the tension. The weasel was either dazed or KO’ed. Thinking quickly, Zig took her belt off and used it to ensure the would-be murderer wouldn’t go anywhere.\n\nZig saw Sabrina was unconscious and bleeding from a stomach wound. Zig-Zag took off her shirt, wadded it up, and pressed it to the bleeding wound. Saying, “Sabrina stay with me, baby.”\n\n Zig found Sabrina’s purse nearby; rummaging in the bag with one hand, Zig pulled out Sabrina’s cellphone. Zig-Zag one-handed dialed 911 with the other. She kept the pressure on Sabrina’s gunshot wound. \n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n\nSabrina saw everything but not from the perspective one would expect. When she was shot at first she thought nothing had happened then she turned around and saw herself on the ground. Then her shooter passed through as he picked up her purse and rummaged around for it. Then it clicked, and Sabrina realized what was happening and said the only appropriate thing she could. ‘Aw, shit.’\n\nSabrina was still processing this when Zig-Zag was on her attacker like a demon. She was savage; nothing fancy Zig-Zag was brutal in the attack after dispatching the carjacker. \n\nSabrina was still standing there when she saw Zig-Zag turn her body over. Then Zig-Zag took off her shirt and…\n\n“OH COME ON ZIG, YOU’RE A NECROPHILIAC TOO?!?!” Sabrina shouted as she expected the worse. \n\nBut then she felt the biggest asshole in history as Sabrina watched as her friend wadded her shirt up and pressed it against the wound with one hand using a cellphone to call for help. \n\nShe watched as the ambulance came. The paramedics’ worked as they cleaned the wound and bandaged it to staunch the bleeding. At first, Sabrina thought they were wasting their time on her, but she was surprised when EMTs her body hooked up to the EKG they got a pulse. \n\nThe ride to the hospital was quick in morbid fascination; Sabrina followed her body into surgery and quickly left. Discovering while she no longer had a stomach, she still could get queasy. She left the OR after getting over the shock of walking through solid objects. Sabrina finally found Zig-Zag. She was in the scrub room; her arms were filthy with Sabrina’s blood, scrubbing furiously. As Sabrina got closer, she heard Zig-Zag crying. Sabrina reached out her hand to comfort Zig-Zag, but it only passed through. Once Zig-Zag was done, she was drying her hands with a towel staring into the mirror in nothing but pants and her sports bra. \n\n“God, I know we’re not on the best of terms. But please let her live, the world’s a gray l place, but Sabrina makes it a little bit more colorful. Please, I love her more than she’ll know.” Zig-Zag started to tear up again but forced it down. Sabrina watched as her boss stared into the mirror, threw the towel into the hamper, grabbed a hospital scrub top, put it on, and left.\n\nStanding there in shock, Sabrina processed what she found out. When she caught up to Zig-Zag, Sabrina found her in the waiting room on her cell phone. It took a moment for Sabrina to realize she was talking to her parents.\n\n“Endora it’s Zig-Zag, I don’t know how to say this but Sabrina’s been shot….Listen she’s in surgery right now ….and when you get here you’ll be in the waiting room also what about Tabaitha do you really want to bring here and wait?… What about me? I’m the boss. I’ll just Delegate or give everyone the day off… I’m already here at the hospital. I’ll wait till she’s out of surgery and you can arrange for a babysitter for Tabaitha…Alright see you in the morning.. I already prayed for her but maybe a few more wouldn’t hurt..”\n\nWith that, Zig-Zag ended the call and looked around, finding an empty couch. She grabbed a few pillows, kicked off her shoes, curled up on the sofa, and tried to sleep.\n\nWithout thinking, Sabrina kneeled next to Zig-Zag and tried to comfort her. However, when her hand touched Zig-Zag, something happened she was transported to another place. Both her and Zig-Zag were curled up together under a blanket. Both were sitting on a couch on a covered deck of a cabin that overlooked a valley. A fire was burning in an outdoor wood stove that kept the semi-enclosed space warm as both watched thunderstorms roll through the valley.\n\nSabrina felt Zig-Zag next to her. She was warm, their hands intertwined. Sabrina was startled and about to stand, but she stopped. When Sabrina heard Zig-Zag say, “Don’t go, baby.” She didn’t go. They both watched the storm. Time had no meaning, hours or minutes, who knew, but it ended. \n\nZig-Zag awoke. She felt better waking up from a dream that she could barely remember but what she did remember was that the dream was comforting. \n\nZig got up from the couch and stretched, and checked the clock. It was 10am. Putting her shoes back on, she went to answer the call of nature. With that done, she went to the nurse’s desk and asked about Sabrina’s condition and where the cafeteria was with those questions answered. Zig pulled out her cellphone. She had some calls to make.\n\nSabrina watched Zig walk off to handle her mortal affairs. Besides, Sabrina wanted some distance to contemplate what they both experienced in that shared dream. Wandered the hospital until she found the recovery ward. She stood at the foot of the bed where her body was lying on the EKG, beeping away.\n\n “So now what?” Sabrina asked aloud, wondering if she would be stuck in this limbo until her body died. Then the universe answered. If Sabrina still had the capability, she probably would’ve soiled herself as she watched a blade materialize from thin air and cut the fabric of reality. \n\nJumping back, Sabrina watched as a portal formed, and the grim reaper stepped out. “Well, that all depends on you, Ms. Mustelidae.” He said in a smooth Mexican accent. \n\n“Wait, a minute,” Sabrina said as she calmed down and took a good long look at the reaper. The skeleton was heavily stylized and decorated; also, the proportions were wrong, like something out of a cartoon or a... “I’m dreaming, I’m asleep at my desk, and I’m having a nightmare and not having romantic dreams about Zig-Zag.”\n\n“Oh I assure you senorita that is a no dream.” The reaper replied.\n \n“If this is no ‘Dream,’ how come you look and sound like Manny Calavera!?” Sabrina shot back, sure she found a frayed thread that if she pulled on it, she’ll wake up or something would happen.\n\n“Well I can give you a few reasons. All fiction no matter how absurd is a reality somewhere in the multiverse and the infinite variations therein. I really am Manny Calavera and I whispered into the ears of developers Lucas Arts many years ago. Or we all perceive death in our own way and you’ve been playing way to much Grim Fandango.”\n\nSabrina opened her mouth to object but nodded. Damn 90s adventure games, she was still stuck on that tree puzzle. \n\n“The fact is at 1:24 am last you were shot multiple in the stomach with by a weasel with a 32 Smith and Wesson. You should’ve bleed out but your boss turns into one of nastiests diablas when riled saved your life. You could move on but that would be a waste of a life.” Calavera said. Because that’s how Sabrina thought of him now. “Or I could push you back into your body.”\n\n“When I touched Zig-Zag when she went to sleep, what the hell was that?” Sabrina asked too quickly, clearly dreading the answer.\n\n“You already know, Chica, that was a dream you both shared,” Calavera said patiently.\n\n“Why it wasn’t dirtier I mean..” Sabrina started.\n\nThen Manny cut her off. “Do you think so lowly of her just because of her profession?” That stopped Sabrina’s cold. “Lust can turn into love. Chica, given time, you turned her down flat and laid down the law. Since she has respected you, then you hung out as friends. no?” Sabrina nodded. “She flirts with you because she likes you, she thinks it’s cute when chuckle and you roll your eyes. You also think it’s flattering. Also she’s a closet nerd.”\n\n“What?” Sabrina asked, but Manny continued.\n\n“Now you’re going to bring up what you learned during catechism class.” Manny said, “Listen, I’ve seen all kinds of arrangements between men and women. couples, triples dodecahedrons. Just live a good life. Finding love is a hard thing Senorita some search for their entire lives and don’t find it especially when it’s so close and a little unconventional. No go I think you need to talk to someone,” Manny said, then used the end of his scythe to push Sabrina back into her body.\n\nSabrina dreamed of a time long ago in a galaxy far away.\n\nThe skunk, known as Padawan Sabine’rina was escorted into the chambers by a squad of imperial storm troopers. Chambers was dark. The only illumination was a shaft of light. The troopers fitted her with repulser cuffs, activated them, and left the room. Leaving Sabine’rina spread eagle floating in the air. \n\nIn the dark Sabrin’rina saw shining yellow eyes watching her; they walked around her stalking her. “Who’s out there?” She yelled into the darkness. Sabrin’rina heard a sultry feminine laugh then, “Are you afraid, of in the dark, my young padawan?” The voice said as it softly blew into her left ear. \n\nThen there was a sudden ripping sound as Sabrine’rina felt her clothes telekinetically torn away. Her tormenter stepped in front of her eyeing her with those piercing yellow eyes wearing a space black robe. She stepped out of her robes, revealing another skunk. She was black, and her bright red tiger stripes seemed to glow in the dark like a light saber. Sabrine’rina recognized her as the Sith Mistress Darth Tortuous. She was naked except for a sith loincloth that had red sith iconography. \n\nTortuous walked to the Jedi, blue eyes met yellow. “There’s no need to be afraid of the dark.” with that, the Sith Mistress put her hand behind the Jedi’s head and pulled her down into a deep kiss. Their tongues dueled like sabers. Sabrine’rina felt Tortuous’s hand on her breast and then slide down….\n\nSabrina woke up. \n\nSabrina woke up. She heard the sound of a shower. She tried to sit up, but now Sabrina knew she wasn’t dreaming. She was in too much pain, feeling the agony in her stomach. So she flopped back down on the be. Sabrina tried again, this time using the bed controls to raise the head of the bed. Looking to her bedside, Sabrina saw her glasses; thankfully, they were in easy reach.\n\nWith her Glasses on, Sabrina saw she was in a typical hospital room. There was a sofa bed that someone obviously claimed as their home away from home. Judging from the tiger-striped hard case, Sabrina hazard a guess. \n\nThen Sabrina heard the fur dryer. A few minutes later, Zig zag stepped out of the bathroom wearing a towel and using another to dry her hair. Zig wasn’t at her best, but god, was she the most beautiful thing Sabrina had seen.\n\n“Zig..” Sabrina said as Zig-zag walked to her suitcase.\n\nZig’s head whipped around and saw Sabrina sitting up in bed. She ran to the bed. “I thought we were going to lose you, girl,” Zig said as the two embraced. Zig-Zag started to cry. Sabrina pushed Zig out of the embrace, and both looked each other in the eye.” I’m not going anywhere, but first, I have something very important to say.”\n\nHere it goes, Sabrina thought. Then, without warning, Sabrina pulled Zig-Zag down into a passionate soul-shuddering deep kiss. Taken by surprise, Zig-Zag returned the kiss. The heavenly kiss dragged on for a moment. Then when it broke, Sabrina asked. “When I get out of here, I.. er Want to go on a date?”\n\n“What?” Zig asked as blind-sided by a question she didn’t see coming.\n\n“Zig, I’m not asking you to change for me or quit what you love doing.. As long as you come back..” Sabrina started to say but blushed. Trying to find the words, Zig-Zag cut her off. With a Kiss and touched her forehead to Sabrina’s and said. “I understand, and it’s a date.”\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "“It’s a Wonderful Online”

Her tormenter stepped in front of her eyeing her with those piercing yellow eyes wearing a space black robe. She stepped out of her robes, revealing another skunk. She was black, and her bright red tiger stripes seemed to glow in the dark like a light saber. Sabrine’rina recognized her as the Sith Mistress Darth Tortuous. She was naked except for a sith loincloth that had red sith iconography.

Tortuous walked to the Jedi, blue eyes met yellow. “There’s no need to be afraid of the dark.” with that, the Sith Mistress put her hand behind the Jedi’s head and pulled her down into a deep kiss. Their tongues dueled like sabers. Sabrine’rina felt Tortuous’s hand on her breast and then slide down….

Sabrina woke up.

Sabrina woke up. She heard the sound of a shower. She tried to sit up, but now Sabrina knew she wasn’t dreaming. She was in too much pain, feeling the agony in her stomach. So she flopped back down on the be. Sabrina tried again, this time using the bed controls to raise the head of the bed. Looking to her bedside, Sabrina saw her glasses; thankfully, they were in easy reach.

With her Glasses on, Sabrina saw she was in a typical hospital room. There was a sofa bed that someone obviously claimed as their home away from home. Judging from the tiger-striped hard case, Sabrina hazard a guess.

Then Sabrina heard the fur dryer. A few minutes later, Zig zag stepped out of the bathroom wearing a towel and using another to dry her hair. Zig wasn’t at her best, but god, was she the most beautiful thing Sabrina had seen.

“Zig..” Sabrina said as Zig-zag walked to her suitcase.

Zig’s head whipped around and saw Sabrina sitting up in bed. She ran to the bed. “I thought we were going to lose you, girl,” Zig said as the two embraced. Zig-Zag started to cry. Sabrina pushed Zig out of the embrace, and both looked each other in the eye.”  I’m not going anywhere, but first, I have something very important to say.”

Here it goes, Sabrina thought. Then, without warning, Sabrina pulled Zig-Zag down into a passionate soul-shuddering deep kiss. Taken by surprise, Zig-Zag returned the kiss. The heavenly kiss dragged on for a moment. Then when it broke, Sabrina asked. “When I get out of here, I.. er Want to go on a date?”

“What?” Zig asked as blind-sided by a question she didn’t see coming.

“Zig, I’m not asking you to change for me or quit what you love doing.. As long as you come back..” Sabrina started to say but blushed. Trying to find the words, Zig-Zag cut her off. With a Kiss and touched her forehead to Sabrina’s and said. “I understand, and it’s a date.”
