Sabrina and Zig-Zag walked out of the Eire Neurological and spine center. With slow deliberate movements the tiger-stripped helps the normal skunk into the sports car. When the doors were shut. Zig looked over at Sabrina and asked the question she had been dreading.
“How bad?”

“According to the X-rays. The bastard ruptured a disc in my lower back. Nothing is wrong with my legs but the pain is sure as hell real.” Sabrina leaned back in the seat. Looking down at the center console she found the heated seat button and turned it on. She leaned back and closed her eyes for a second.

“So what are the treatments for now?” Zig asked.

Sabrina blew air through her lips. “Not much. Until these staples come out they can’t do a CAT scan.” She said pointing to her stomach.
   
“Let me guess. The staples are made of stainless steel?” Zig-Zag tartly.

“Yup.”Sabrina “So far they recommended aquarobics, swimming and other water exercises to get the pressure off my back and strengthen my back muscles. wouldn’t you know it, my apartment has an outdoor swimming pool.” 

"And winter is coming." 

Sabrina sighed. "Sadly it is."

"I have an indoor pool. And you'll be coming." Zig pointed out in.

The skunkette eyed up her tiger-striped memphite boss. "Do you mean I'll be coming to your pool or you'll be trying to make me orgasm?"

Zig-Zag sat there, still as stone for a long pause before finally answering. ".......Yes."

Sabrina swore she heard the final jeopardy theme play in her head as she thought it over. "Okay."

Zig-Zag looks shocked. "Who are you and what have you done with Sabrina?

"What do you mean, 'Who are I and what have I done with Sabrina?’ I am Sabrina!"

Zig-Zag didn't look convinced. "I may not be a nerd like Sabrina, but she's told me about those weird Japanese manga and anime about someone dying and being put in the body of another! Admit it, this is one of those, 'ee-say-kye' things!"

"What, don't you want this body?" Sabrina then hit Zig-zag with her best steamy, sultry look. (which in retrospect was paled to what Zig-Zag could do.) But it had the desired effect as Zig’s jaw dropped in stupefaction and her ears up in surprise.

 Then Sabrina had to stop and started laughing at Zig-Zag's reaction.

"Phffft Isekai. Okay, Isekai means different world or alternate world. How you get there differs, some characters die and reincarnate into new bodies in another world. Others it’s literally taking a wrong turn and accidentally driving your car through an interdimensional portal into a world where magic and technology intertwine, and groups of magical girls fighting off a demonic invasion through combination of martial arts and sex magic.”

ZZ had this bizarre look incurduility on her face before shaking it off.

 “But I really am Sabrina Mustelidae, the same shy girl you hired to work on ZZ studios internet site.The same woman who suckered punched you when tried to seduce me in that hotel room at that Porn convention then laid down the law. Then we became friends with and flirted with because you thought it was cute and I admit it. I was flattered that someone found me attractive to flirt with. I'm the same Sabrina that you went as someone I met recently put it, Diablas, on a gunman to save me. I just had a near death experience to learn to appreciate things in life."

Zig-Zag blinked her eyes once, twice, thrice. "...Damn, girl... while I appreciate you having a further appreciation for life... you had to tease me by finding it when I can't just jump you like I would anyone else. Oh no, you had to wait until you were fragile as glass before..." she trailed off and sighed. "Seriously, you have no idea how long I've wanted to hear something like this."

"Since you first met me?"

"**Longer.**" Was the tiger skunk's rather blunt, if not haunted-sounding response.

“Oh, how do you think I feel?” Sabrina crossed her arms and pouted. “It took me getting shot.” *groans* “I’m getting co eer. Denied even in my dreams.”

“Dreams?” Zig asked, arching an eyebrow.

Sabrina blushes and looks away. Zig-Zag leans over putting her finger under Sabrina’s jaw tilting her back to facing her. “Come on girl, tell me?”

Sabrina looked at her “I don’t wanna it’s embarrassing.”

“Oh Sabrina, this is me we’re talking about it. I shake my ass on camera.” Zig-Zag said reassuring Sabrina of someone who has seen it and done it all.

“It’s nerdy as hell. Sabrina whined.

Zig-Zag looked Sabrina dead in the eyes and asked one question. “So Star Trek or Star Wars?”

“Star Wars” Sabrina said wishing that her facial fur wasn’t white, and that her blush was burning through.

"...You know the company should still have some Slave Leia outfits and a Darth Vader Gimp Suit leftover in the props and outfits department from when we did 'Star Whores' if you're really into that sort of thing."

Sabrina blinked her eyes. "Star Whores? I don't remember seeing that in the company's film registry!"

Zig-Zag lowered her head. "Because it's no longer listed as part of the available Double-Z Studio Catalog. It was out for only a week before we got a Cease and Desist from LucasFilms. And trust me, that is one Honey Badger you do NOT want to cross!" As an afterthought, the feline-striped female then added, "Of course, that means the VHS copies that did get out are now worth a pretty penny and FurreBay."

Sabrina thinks about the costumes and chuckles and starts laughing. "Nah, it wasn't anything that was obvious.” 

“Ohh. Then tell.” Zig-Zag cheered.

“in my Dream I was a Jedi padawan is a jedi in."

"I'm not a complete philistine. I've seen the prequel trilogy." Zig said.

Sabrina nodded. "Well, there was no real big change there except I didn't need my glasses, my name was Sabine'rina. And I was your prisoner"

Sabrina looked at Zig-Zag and smiled pitching her voice higher louder like an narrator.. "I a lowly padawan was the prisoner of the infamous Sith Mistress Darth Tortuous."

The Tiger-striped skunk giggled at the name. "Hoh oh... this getting interesting."

"I have to draw a picture of you as a Sith. because it was stunning." Sabrina said smiling at the happy memory.

"You draw?" Zig-Zag asked.

"Yeah, It's how I survived as a college student. People actually paid me to do commissions of fanart. It's what the made the difference between a surviving art student and a starving one." Sabrina smiled.

"Well, what did I look like?" Zig-Zag asked clearly interested now.

"Your eyes were golden, your fur was darker than Drake's and your stripes were red bioluminescence. That dimmed and brightened. You taunted me as I trapped suspespened in a shaft of light the rest of the room dark."

Zig-Zag perked up. "Taunted me Asking me if I was afraid of the dark. Always stay just at the edge of my vision. Suddenly My clothes are telekinetically ripped off you step in front of me shedding your robe and standing before you reach up and pull me down in a kiss." Sabrina sighs. "Then I wake up before things get interesting."

"Ohh Twat Swated in your own dreams," Zig-Zag says, then leans in and kisses Sabrina on the cheek. "When you get better. We can take care of that."

Later


When Sabrina entered Zig's home, it was a two-story house on a hill set back from the road, concealed by hedgerows. The house was set up to host parties from the large den to the living rooms instead of going out to the back. The two went downstairs to a fully finished basement. Going out, a set of sliding doors revealed a pool in a half-dome built into the reverse slope. When the weather was good, the dome opened in the middle, exposing the entire pool to the sun. The weather was terrible. The dome closed, and the dehumidifiers' Air conditioning kept the temperature perfect for swimming.

"Alright, Sabrina the changing room is this…." But Zig Zag didn't get to finish.

With her back in agony, Sabrina took off her clothes as she walked to the pool. Zig-Zag just watched as the shyest person she knew casually stripped as articles of clothes fell off Sabrina's body with each step. Nothing sensually about just someone who desperately wanted to get out of her garments. Then turning back around, Sabrina fell back into the pool.

Zig-Zag shrugged, picked up Sabrina's clothes, and put them on a lounge chair. Zig noticed that Sabrina was floating on her back with her eyes closed. "I didn't think you had it in you to go skinny dipping Sabrina." Zig-Zag as she undressed to join Sabrina in the pool au naturel.

"I didn't tell you how much pain I was in. It's crazy If I sit, lay or stand too long. Someone takes my back and legs and plugs them into an electrical socket." Sabrina said in a voice, trying not to wine but to explain that the pain was real, and it really hurt.

In all her stripey naked glory, Zig-Zag walked to the diving board. "I can't believe that bastard did lasting damage. I just want to drive down to lock-up so I can have a few more rounds with him." So she said as she got on the board and dove into the pool in a perfect dive.

The tiger skunk torpedoed through the water, staying low to the swimming pool floor, emerging from the shallow naval deep water, her lengthy hair flipping in style.

Sabrina closed her eyes and chuckled. It was beautiful, but at the same time, she couldn't help but wonder how many hours Zig-Zag had spent practicing so she could do it on demand. Then, her head bumped into something. Sabrina opened her eyes and saw Zig-Zag standing above her, looking down at her. Zig-Zag reached out a hand and gently traced the shaved area on her stomach, the healing gunshot wounds. 

Sabrina grabbed Zig-Zag's hand, placing it on her breast bone. Wishing that she could feel her beating heart. "You saved me. I'm not going to vanish in a puff of smoke. As for the little weasel that did this to me. I saw what you did to him."

A smile started to form on Zig-Zag's muzzle, then turned into confusion. "How? You, face down with a concussion."

".... ah crap."  Sabrina said as she rolled he eyes. Standing up sabrina walked to the pool wall and leaned back against folding her arms under her breast. “Zig this is going to be hard to explain but I need you to promise me this stays between us.”

Zig-Zag looked at Sabrina ‘she’s scared on the defensive she probably folded her arms to keep her hands from fidgeting’ she thought. “What every it is it will stay between us Sabrina. I promise.” Zig-Zag said as solemnly has possible.

“I’m not even going to tell my therapist this.” *sighing “I had an out of body experience. You used my car as anvil and you were the hammer. You started off the attack by kicking in the back of the knee and grabbing his head slamming it against my car. You kept slamming him against my car until he went through the driver’s side window. Does this sound about right?”

Zig-zag nodded.

“Well I acted like an utter bitch and thought you were a necrophiliac when you took your shirt off to stop me from bleeding,,” Sabrina never got to finish as Zig-zag splashed her with water.

“Yuck.. I do have standards girl.” Zig laughed as she continued to splash water at Sabrina. Both laughed and got into a water fight splashing water at each other. Then Sabrina screamed in pain, Zig -Zag Dove under the water and pushed off the wall and was instantly at Sabrina’s side. 

“You, alright?” Zig-Zag asked.

“I think I pulled a muscle.” Sabrina said as she clutched her wounded side. 

“Or you pulled a stitch with our horseplay. Let’s get the shallows and check the damage.” Zig-Zag retorted. When the two got the shallows Zig kneeled down until she was eye level with sabrina’s wounds gently she took her hand and moved sabrina’s away and saw a hair thin stripe of crimson leaking from one of the wounds.

Zig-zag sighed “Looks like we did pop a stitch. Let’s get dried off now and cleaned up I’ll drive you the ER and I’ll take you back home.”

“Awww…” Sabrina whined. 

Stood up and Zig-Zag looked Sabrina in the eye. “I much as I like this new you. I don’t want you put your health at risk. Now come on Let’s go to the bathroom and dry off and I’ll play nurse and bandage that.”

“Three days ago, I would be running scared.” Sabrina said as she walked to the pool stairs.

“Yeah yeah and that was before you temporally became a ghost.” Zig-Zag said as she playful swatted Sabrina bottom. “Now move. Before I turn into nurse Ratchet.” 

“I’m Moving, I’m moving.”

Sabrina and Zig-Zag shared a shower the quicker to wash the chlorine from their fur and Zig could give personal attention to cleaning Sabrina’s wounds. Dry Dressed both furs and the wound. The two went to the nearest ER where Sabrina had met a doctor who wielded an auto suture like a gun-slinging Two auto sutures later and strict orders no strenuous physical activity.

Now they were outside Sabrina’s apartment. “Want, to come in? it ‘s not much but I can offer you some coffee.”

“Sure, I wanted to see what you spent your pay checks on.” Zig-Zag said. 

They entered the apartment. Sabrina went into the kitchen and started a pot of coffee. Zig-Zag looked at a bookshelf packed with anime DVDs and on another displayed like a museum pieces were old game consoles. “Sabrina can you tell me what the appeal is with anime?”

Sabrina came back with two mugs of coffee. “Well who doesn’t like cartoons as kids. But then you realize they are for kids. Anime is made for just about everyone, You can tell fantastic stories on a budget.” Pulls out a copy of Record of Lodoss. “One man turned his epic DND campaigns into manga then a anime. Like regularly movies they run the entire genres.” 

Zig-Zag took a sip of her coffee then took a look at the DVD case spines then pulled out one from a company Anime 18. She pulled it out and in big bold letters ABSOLUTELY NOT FOR CHILDREN. ‘Well I can see why’ she mused the purple haired vixen’s clothes were torn to shreds tentacles creeping toward her. “I see what you mean when you said that they make anime for anyone.” Zig-Zag said holding up a copy of La Blue Girl.

Sabrina blushed and quickly put it back on the shelf. “It’s not mine It must belong to Amy’s boyfriend.”

“Uh-Huh.” Zig-Zag smiled. 

"...Okay, fine. I think the ninja outfits are cute."

"AH-HA!" Zig-Zag chimed. "I knew it!"

"But if you want to know about Bible Black, that is DEFINITELY Tom's..."

"Bible Black?"

Sabrina nodded her head. "Yep. Not mine. I'm a good girl."

Zig-Zag was going to prod, Sabrina sighed. "Zig That's Captial H erotic occult Horror. Mammalian Sacrifices and unsafe gun practices."

"Unsafe gun practices?" Zig-Zag asked, clearly confused.

"Some say firearms are a substitute for a penis. Loaded pump-action shotguns should not be used as a substitute for a penis." Sabrina said disgustedly as she put the Bible Black DVD back on the shelf.

"Whoa.. Okay gross. If you hadn't seen how do you know it about?" Zig-Zag asked mockingly.

"Certain scenes alone are so infamous, that they make their way unto the net." Sabrina said as she continued to look browse through her collection before finally finding something. "Ah, a classic. Bubblegum Crisis."

"And what is Bubblegum Crisis?"

"A Cyberpunk series about four women in power armor. As for the title play on words in Japanese that translate well. But what I can promise is action, Rock and Roll if you want to unwind." Sabrina said.

Sabrina and Zig-Zag sat on the couch. Zig had been expecting a cartoonish experience. When she got hit with opening notes Konya Wa Hurricane, then the show really got started. It was gritty and kept you on your toes. The ending was a surprise twist the child the Knight Sabers went to save wasn’t a child leading to a situation with Sabers barely surviving.

So engrossed, she barely noticed how close Sabrina was. “So, what do you think?”

“I think you should dye your hair red.” Zig said. “Because I couldn’t help but notice if you dyed your hair you would look like Nene.”

Sabrina giggled.

“But honestly..that twist in the end do all anime do that?” Zig asked?

“Yes for the most, part. Anyhting can happen like in real life and sometime you can completely and utterly fail, but you survive.” Sabrina said. “They also treat the audience like they’re mature beings instead of dumbing things down.”

“Soo, want to see one of those pronos.” Zig-Zag asked.

Sabrina sighed. “Don’t, you get enough of that at work?”

“I need to check out my competition also I need to know what my girl likes.” Zig-Zag said with a smile.

Sabrina huffed and stood and went to her room, coming back with a large heating pad. “Can you plug this in for me?” Sabrina asked as she threw the pad on the couch. “Plug is by the lamp.”
Sabrina looked at the shelf of hentai. Picking the least sanity-destroying one, not one of the mind-fuckers that Tom liked. 

Picking one. Sabrina went to the TV. 

“So, any hints?” Zig-Zag asked.

“Angel Blade it takes the Magical girl trope. Wake up, Go to school, Save the world. and turns it on it’s head. You’ll come for the porn but stay for the plot.”

“Porn with Plot? Really?” Zig-Zag asked with an arched eyebrow.

“Really that’s how most get into anime. They came to see boobies but then the plot hooks them in.” Sabrina said. 

“I’ll believe it when I see it.” Zig giggled as she rolled her eyebrows.

The anime starts with cityscape and the villain Nailkiaser a Vixen with batwings at the base of her spine wearing not all that much. Underbust corset spiked, breasts that were too large for her cropped leather jacket and thigh-high stiletto boots. But what stuck out most in Zig-Zags mind. “Did that Fox Bat have three cocks?”

“Welcome to the wonderful world of futanari. I bet you wish you could will three big fat cocks into existence at any time and have a go at Stacy, Me, and Tracy all at the same time. One big Supreme Skunk Sandwich.” Sabrina Smiled.

“You put some thought into that. Okay, pause it. Where is a notepad? I need to take notes.” Zig-Zag said as she was looking at the end table for a notepad.” Sabrina started laughing. “I’m not being facetious here, girl. I can make this happen. I did grow a dick once when a witch we hired decided to play a prank on me. What that spell did to my libido, whoa. I must’ve screwed and fucked everything in the Studio that could move and few things that didn’t”

Sabrina sat there gob smacked… then “Tell me you still have her contact info?!”

 Later they learned the state of the world. How civilization was confined to 99 cities due to an environmental collapse, and something is afoot in City 69.

Zig-Zag snorted, “City 69” reaal subtle there.”

“Unlike you.” Sabrina poked her girlfriend. She giggled at the thought, and it wasn’t as unpleasant as it would’ve been a week ago. 

During the climax of the episode. Sabrina bravely snuck a kiss. Then pretend like nothing happened. Zig-zag arched an eye then grinned She went on the attack and Kissed Sabrina back and upping the ante by grouping her. Sabrina reciprocated.  When the two were kissing and engaged in some pretty heavy petting, they didn’t hear the door open.

In came Tom and Amy in her arms was Timmy. “Well look what happened we leave town for a couple of weeks and the impossible has happened. Have you fallen for your boss’s charms?” Amy Snarked.

Sabrina epped. But regained her courage and fired back. “What can I say, A girl can’t resist her Knight in strippy Armour.”  

Zig-Zag smiled at this but was further surprised. When Sabrina said. “And a proper Lady must reward her Savior.” Sabrina held out her hand. “Care to accompany me to my chambers Lady Zig-Zag so I may reward you?”

Amy and Thomas were both stunned.

Zig-Zag chuckled getting into the spirit of the moment, Kissed the back of Sabrina’s hand. “I’m afraid I have to decline Dame Sabrina, I want you to be healthy so we both can appreciate your reward.”

“Alas. Then let me escort you to your car?”

“Dame Sabrina, it would be my honor.”  Zig-zag said as both left the apartment arm in arm.

Tom and Amy look at each other with the both shocked and befuddled expression. “What, the Fuck was that?” Amy asked as Thomas went the door and checked to see if he had the right apartment.

Tom considered things for a moment. "If you ask me," he began in a slow somber tone. "It would appear that in getting shot, Sabrina learned appreciation for everyone in her life and is now willing to give ZigZag a shot."

Raising an eyebrow, the squirrel turned her gaze towards her lupine husband. "Was that a joke or..."

"Nope," the man chirruped. "Being serious."

Silence reigned for awhile. "...So who would be the 'man' in that relationship?"

Considering that, Tom gnawed on his lower lip as the gears turned in the back of his head. "Honestly? Sabrina."

Her other eyebrow rising to meet the first, the man's wife shifted their child in her arms to get a better hold of him as she queried, "Any reason for that?"

Smiling slightly, the wolf teasingly replied, "Between Sabrina and her love of Transformers, and ZigZag and her love of porn... somehow of the pair, it's Sabrina I could envision with a dic
