  "writing": "Chapter 5\nThursday March 1, 2029\n\n\tIt was the end of the third quarter of the school year when all the cubs walked into the house. Vapor stood at the bottom of the stairs. Her arms crossed and looked at them all as they walked up to her. She put her paw out in front of her.\n\n\t“Report cards please,” she stated. As everyone passed her to head upstairs they handed over their report cards. Lin placed his and rushed upstairs without saying a word, but he was breathing heavily. Onai and Luna was next. After all of the report cards were all in her paw she took them to the dining room table and flipped through them. Willow sat across from her drinking a coke, something rare for her. “What the fuck?!” Vapor shrieked as she saw Lin’s report card. Willow looked over at her.\n\t“What’s wrong?” Willow asked.\n\t“Lin’s got A+ in everything except English. He received a D- 61 points, just two points from failing,” Vapor replied.\n\t“His teacher never called?” Willow asked.\n\t“Nope. I’m going to go talk to him. I wondered why he was so quiet and rushed upstairs so fast,” Vapor stated.\n\t“Take it easy on him Vapor. He’s not a native English speaker,” Willow warned as Vapor got stood up.\n\t“Yeah yeah, I know,” Vapor replied.\n\n\tShe knocked on Lin’s door and entered. She saw him close his laptop and look over at her.\n\t“Everything okay?” Lin asked as he looked away. Vapor sat down on the foot of the bed and beckoned him to stand in front of her.\n\t“Come here Lin,” she said. He got up and walked up to her, his ears were flat against his head. He knew he was in trouble.\n\t“Why didn’t you ask for help in English Lin? I’m disappointed in your grade,” she said.\n\t“I. I don’t know. It’s hard to understand it all. There’s all those marks, umm, comma, periods, the ones that hang upside down and more,” he explained.\n\t“Lin you need to ask for help. Either your teacher, students, friends or any of us here,” she replied.\n\t“Am I in trouble?” He asked.\n\t“Yes. Yes you are,” she replied bluntly.\n\t“I thought I would be,” he replied then walked over to his laptop. He picked it up and walked back over to her and held it out in front of him.\n\t“I already told sister that I can’t talk to her until later. Told her I fail English class,” he explained.\n\t“I’m not taking your laptop Lin, that’s the only way you’re able to talk to your family. Plus you didn’t fail, you have a near failing grade,” she replied. He looked up and smiled as a few tears dropped to the floor.\n\t“You. You mean it?” He asked.\n\t“Yes,” she replied.\n\t“Thank you!” He exclaimed.\n\t“Where’s your binder with all your English work in it?” She asked. He walked over to his neatly arranged desk. He sat his laptop back down then pulled out a red four inch binder and walked back over and held it out to her. She took it and flipped through the third quarter section.\n\t“Most of your papers are between sixty and sixty-five, you have quite a few that are failing,” she stated.\n\t“I know,” he replied.\n\t“Your punishment is for you to redo all the papers that you failed and those that are below 70 points. I want them done before the weekend is over. Understood?” Vapor stated.\n\t“Yes,” he replied.\n\t“Good. Go on and get started. I’ll call for you when dinner is ready. No TV until they are all finished, understood?” She stated pulling the TV power cable from the wall.\n\t“Okay Vapor. Can Laika help me?” He asked. She handed him the folder back.\n\t“Yes, but you are to do all of the work. I’ll go get her for you,” she replied.\n\t“Thank you Vapor,” he said with a smile and hugged her. She hugged him back. Vapor headed towards the door then stopped.\n\t“Oh Lin. The next time you put a near failing or failing report card in my paw and rush off like you did, I won’t take it easy on you again. You’ll get the same treatment as my own cubs. You’ll be grounded until that class has an acceptable passing grade. That would mean no laptop, games, cell phone, TV. However I would allow you to chat with your sister for one hour twice a week. I know that family is very important to you. Understood?” Vapor stated.\n\t“I understand Vapor, I will not fail you again,” he replied and sat down at his desk. A few minutes later Laika walked in and shut the door behind her. The pair started working on the papers that were failing grades. Laika had explicit instructions NOT to help Lin with the answers, meaning she couldn’t just straight up tell him x is y or y is z, instead she has to guide him and remind him and help him look through his school book for the answers.\n\n***\n\nSunday March 4, 2029\n\n\tThat Sunday Lin walked into the office where Vapor and Willow sat looking over stuff for Wolfe and Fox. He sat the folder on the desk.\n\t“All done,” he replied.\n\t“Thank you Lin. I’ll look at it later. I talked to your teacher yesterday, and she said she would help you more while in class but YOU have to ask her for help more often. Understood?” Vapor stated.\n\t“I will. Thank you,” Lin replied. \n\t“She’ll also accept your revised papers, but you won’t get more than a 75 on them,” Vapor stated.\n\t“That’s good right?” Lin asked.\n\t“Yes, means that you won’t have a 61 on your final report card or your permanent record,” Vapor explained.\n\t“Thank you. I leave to go back to my room,” Lin said then bowed and left the room.\n\t“He’s so cute when he bows,” Willow stated and chuckled.\n\t“Yeah he is,” Vapor replied.\n\n\tA couple of hours later Vapor sat in the sitting room with her hindpaws propped up on an Ottoman stool. The fish tank behind her was bubbling away and fish swimming around. The reflection of the water flashed off of papers in Lin’s English binder that sat in her lap while she looked over all of the papers. A mark here and a mark there, to correct his punctuation. Other than a few misspelled words and incorrect punctuation he was doing pretty well.\n\n\t“Laika, go get Lin please,” Vapor said to her. Laika was sitting next to her staring into the round fish aquarium.\n\t“Okay mommy,” she said then rushed off.\n\n\tA few minutes later the two of them walked down the stairs talking. They walked up to Vapor, Laika sat back down and then continued watching the fish.\n\t“You need me Vapor?” Lin asked.\n\t“Sit down,” she replied.\n\t“Okay,” he replied and did as asked.\n\t“I’ve looked over all of your revised work. You did better but you’re still having issues with punctuation,” she explained and opened the binder. She tapped multiple spots on multiple sheets, where she made pen marks in blue.\n\t“I don’t understand them. I tried but I can’t,” he replied.\n\t“Don’t sell yourself short Lin. Look here,” she said and flipped to a later paper. There was just a few marks on the page, which were only spelling errors and three punctuation errors.\n\t“You do know how to use punctuation correctly. I think that you’re stressing yourself out over it. We ask you to have acceptable passing grades but not to overwork yourself doing so. Are you feeling stress from all of this?” She asked.\n\t“Yes,” he replied as his voice cracked. Laika looked over at him and watched him wipe at his eyes.\n\t“Lin, don’t push yourself. Just study and ask for help,” Vapor said.\n\t“Okay,” he replied and exhaled trying to not show his real emotions.\n\t“Lin. I’m happy to help you anytime you need it,” Laika said then smiled at him.\n\t“Thank you Laika,” he replied.\n\t“I printed these worksheets to help you Lin. All you have to do on them is use the correct punctuation marks in the boxes. You don’t have to do them tonight, but I would like to see them by next weekend. There’s twenty pages. All of them are for your age and school class,” she explained.\n\t“I will work on them. Can Laika help?” He replied.\n\t“No. Not on these. I want YOU to do them yourself. If you’re feeling stressed, step away and relax. Take a hot shower, exercise, eat, do whatever you need to do to destress yourself. Okay?” She said.\n\t“Okay,” he replied.\n\t“Good. You can go back doing whatever you were doing before,” she said and handed him the folder back and the worksheets.\n\n***\n\nFriday March 9, 2029\n\n\tFriday, a few hours after school, Fang rushed into Lin’s bedroom after Lin screamed, loudly. Fang burst through the door and stared at Lin.\n\t“What’s wrong Lin?” He asked frantically. Lin stood there surrounded by torn up sheets of paper. He was breathing deep and heavily. His paws balled up. His eyes furious. His chest rose and fell quickly. In his paws was a paper ripped in half.\n\t“Fuck this stuff!” Lin scowled. Fang took a step backwards, halfway scared of Lin’s anger and pissed off body language.\n\t“Lin, breath and calm down,” Fang said after a few seconds. Lin looked up at him, his red eyes almost appeared to be even brighter red than normal, even brighter than Quill’s eyes. Lin exhaled and dropped to the floor, onto his legs and just broke out into a mental crying fit.\n\t“I can’t figure this stuff out,” he finally said minutes later. Fang walked up to him and sat down in front of the sobbing Panda.\n\t“What can’t you figure out Lin?” He asked.\n\t“Comma’s and those weird commas with the dot above,” he explained.\n\t“Okay. But you know Lin, it doesn’t help when you tear up your homework,” he replied.\n\t“I give up. I can’t do this Fang,” he said then started tearing up more papers that was around him.\n\t“[b]LIN! STOP! OR I’LL WHIP YOUR ASS INTO THE GROUND!!![/b]” Fang scowled, a military command, his deep voice resonated and echoed through the house. Lin gasped and stared up at Fang. He had never seen his host father this pissed off before, not even when he got into the two fights. He could almost visualize smoke coming from Fang’s nostrils. Of course there was no smoke, just a pissed off Wolf.\n\t“Why? Its useless,” he replied.\n\t“No Lin it’s not, you’re-”\n\t“What’s going on?” Laika asked rushing into the room. She saw Lin on the floor crying, tears flowing down his face. She ran up to him and glared at her dad.\n\t“What are you doing to him daddy? He’s crying!” She shouted, while moving in between the two.\n\t“I’m not doing anything to him. He’s stressed out due to all the homework. Look around you. He’s torn up his homework,” Fang replied calmly. She looked around and noticed he was telling the truth.\n\t“Daddy, there’s still no reason to yell at him,” she said.\n\t“I only yelled to get his attention Laika. Step away please,” he said.\n\t“No, not until you calm down. Ever since you got back from the military you’ve been nothing but a brat and shouting and commanding all of us to do stuff. You’re not going to do that to Lin,” she said. She moved backwards and sat down. She sat down in Lin’s lap and glared at her dad. Protecting Lin from her father’s anger. Fang sighed a deep exhale of breath and nodded.\n\t“Lin. Take a break from your homework for the night. Try again in the morning. That’s what I was going to say before Laika interrupted,” he said.\n\t“Laika, next time you interrupt me getting onto someone, you’ll be grounded and take on extra chores,” he said.\n\t“See?! That’s what I mean. Before the military you were never like this. Sure you punished us, but you were never mean like this or yelled so badly at any of us. Go away and let me try to get Lin calmed down. Leave. NOW!” she said.\n\t“I meant what I said, interrupt me again and you’ll face punishment,” he replied then left the room.\n\n\tLaika stood up and turned around. Lin was staring at his legs, where Laika was just sitting. He was blushing but fear filled his eyes.\n\t“Come on Lin,” she said taking his paws. She attempted to pull him up to no avail, due to her being much smaller than him. He looked up at her and gave a faint smile. After a second attempt of trying to pull him up from the floor, he stood up then sat in the computer chair.\n\n\t“Breath Lin. Everything will be okay. My dad didn’t mean to be mean like that,” she said.\n\t“No, he’s right. But I just suck at this English stuff,” he replied.\n\t“No Lin, you don’t. You’re doing great. You’ve improved so much since you first arrived. Sure you’re having issues with some things, but that’s normal. Even I have issues with stuff,” she said.\n\t“No, you’re perfect,” he replied.\n\t“Haha,” she chuckled, “no Lin, I’m not. But thank you,” she replied and smiled, “I’m horrible at science.”\n\t“Really?” He asked.\n\t“Yes. I struggle with science a lot. I have to get help from my mom, dad, Luna or Katia all the time,” she replied.\n\t“But I don’t give up though, and you shouldn’t either. Look at this,” she said. She pulled his English folder from his desk and opened it to the first assignment.\n\t“Look here Lin,” she said and pointed at multiple red circles, “this is your first assignment. You made a 34 on it. Your second assignment you made a 35,” she said. She flipped to the near end of the folder, passing by hundreds of pages. “Now Lin, here’s one from, uhhhh… three weeks ago. You got a 79 on it. The previous assignment 68. The one before that 85. The very last assignment you turned in, you made a 79,” she said, closing the folder and putting it back up.\n\t“Lin, you’ve improved so much. I’m proud of how much you have improved. I will agree with my dad on one thing he said, you’re stressed out. You’re stressing yourself out. You’re so scared of failing that it’s causing you to lose your focus, which will cause you to start failing again. You have your English class every other day, but you work on it daily. You need to stop and relax from it. Those papers that my mom gave you, I’m taking them and giving them back to her. You don’t need that added stress,” she said.\n\t“Laika,” he said. He sat up and wrapped his arms around her and hugged her as he started crying. She hugged his head while he finally let his pent up emotions and stress out.\n\n\tA little bit later he exhaled and looked up at her. She smiled and wiped the tears from his face. She leaned down and kissed the side of his short muzzle. After pulling away both of them blushed.\n\t“You feel better now?” She asked.\n\t“Yes. Thank you Laika,” he replied.\n\t“Good. Put this stuff up and take a break. Lay down and watch TV,” she said.\n\t“Okay Laika. Would you watch it with me?” He asked.\n\t“Yeah sure. But I have to do something first,” she said. She picked up his torn homework and pieced it back together then taped it up. She grabbed the worksheets that her mom printed out and rushed out of the room.\n\n\tDown in the living room, she walked in to see her mom and dad sitting and watching TV. She walked up to them and stared at her dad for a few seconds. She tossed the worksheets into Vapor’s lap, who picked them up.\n\t“Don’t give Lin more work. He’s too stressed out enough from his English homework. He doesn’t need more work,” she said.\n\t“Yeah I know. Your father told me. I feel bad now,” she replied.\n\t“Good. Dad, you stay away from Lin. You yelling at him like that didn’t help,” she said.\n\t“I didn’t yell at him to scare him, I did it to snap him out of the way he was acting,” he replied.\n\t“You yelled at him loud enough for me to hear it in my bathroom, with both doors closed, dad,” she replied.\n\t“He was tearing up his homework sweetie. I tried to get him to stop without doing that,” he said.\n\t“You scared the fuck out of him dad. Don’t yell at Lin again,” she said, turned around and stormed out of the living room. Vapor looked over at him and shook her head, just slightly.\n\t“I heard you down here too babe. You yelled far too loud,” she said.\n\t“Fine. I’ll apologize later. I’ll let him cool down first,” he replied.\n\n\tAn hour later Lin and Laika was laying on his bed watching TV. They were laughing and having fun watching the comedy cartoon. Laika yawned and laid her head down on the pillow and quickly fell asleep without Lin noticing. Around ten minutes later he looked over and was surprised to see her sleeping. He started to freak out a bit. “What should I do?” “Should I wake her up?” “What happens if Fang or Vapor come in?” He thought to himself. He looked back down after she shifted her body. She grabbed hold of the blanket and tried covering herself up. However, being on top of the blanket and sheets she wasn’t able to. He exhaled and thought for a moment. After a few minutes, he made a decision. He carefully pulled the blanket and sheets from underneath her then covered her up. He walked over and turned the lights off and got in bed. He turned on his side and stared at the beautiful wolf next to him. He smiled then closed his eyes.\n\n***\n\nSaturday March 10, 2029\n\n\tThe next morning Lin and Laika was woken up by Vapor. They hadn’t come down to breakfast. Being a Saturday, Vapor allowed the cubs to sleep in and get breakfast later. Over an hour after breakfast she had started to worry, especially for Lin as he’s usually the first up. She stood at the side of the bed and called their names out with a raised voice. Both of them sprung out of bed and looked around. Their eye’s focused on Vapor.\n\t“Why are you sleeping here Laika?” Vapor asked.\n\t“What?” Laika asked groggily and not realizing what room she woke up in.\n\t“She fell asleep and I didn’t want to wake her,” Lin said. As soon as he spoke the first three words, Laika gasped and twisted her neck towards his voice. Her eyes widened and her heart skipped a beat. She looked around and finally noticed. She looked back at her mom, she had no idea what to say. As she moved backwards the sheets fell from her paws, uncovering her.\n\t“At least you’re clothed,” Vapor said. “Go get washed up and go get breakfast Laika,” she added.\n\n\tLaika looked over at Lin for a few seconds before quickly tossing the covers off her legs and rushing out of the room. Lin looked back at Vapor.\n\t“We were watching TV and she fell asleep, nothing else,” he said.\n\t“Okay,” she replied still looking at him, “get cleaned up and go get breakfast Lin,” she added then left the room. Lin exhaled and pulled the sheets back. He looked down at his underwear. The front had a stain on them and were still sticky.\n\t“Why do you do this?” He asked quietly in Chinese.\n\n\tThe two sat at the dining table silently eating their microwaved heated breakfast. Laika would peek over at him but he always had his head down. Both feeling embarrassed about being caught sleeping together. They continued to sit there quietly until Lin finished eating. He looked up and caught her staring at him.\n\t“Good morning,” he said, finally speaking.\n\t“M-morning,” she replied.\n\t“Okay,” he replied not knowing how to actually reply back in embarrassment. He picked up his plate and headed into the kitchen. He rinsed off the plate, fork and knife and put them into the dishwasher. Laika took her last bit and watched him walk through the dining room, past the round aquarium in the foyer and then headed upstairs. After finishing the final bite, she cleaned her plate and put it in the dishwasher.\n\n\tA couple hours had passed when a knock sounded on Lin’s door. He called to enter. Fang stepped inside then shut the door behind him. Lin was sitting at his desk, homework in front of him.\n\t“Hi Fang,” Lin said. Fang grabbed the extra chair and sat it a few feet away, then sat down.\n\t“Morning Lin,” he replied.\n\t“Is everything okay?” Lin asked.\n\t“Yeah. Lin, listen. I’m sorry for yelling at you last night. I shouldn’t have. I should have gotten your attention some other way. I’m sorry,” he said.\n\t“It’s okay Fang. I was tearing up homework and that was bad. You did what you need to,” Lin replied.\n\t“It still doesn’t matter, not for how I yelled at and threatened to whip your ass. You’re not my cub for me to say or do such things,” he replied.\n\t“Thanks Fang,” Lin replied.\n\t“I hope I didn’t scare you too much,” he replied.\n\t“A little but I’m okay now,” Lin replied.\n\t“Okay. Again I’m sorry,” he replied.\n\t“It’s okay,” Lin replied.\n\t“Okay Lin, one more thing. Vapor told me you and Laika slept together last night,” Fang said. Lin gasped and his eyes widened.\n\t“She fell asleep when we watched TV. I didn’t want to wake her up. I wake her up next time,” he explained.\n\t“We don’t care if you two sleep in the same bed. Just make sure to use a condom,” Fang said then pulled out a small box of condoms.\n\t“What? I. I would n-n-n-never do th-that to her,” he said and turned bright red, “we didn’t do that,”\n\t“You didn’t?” Fang asked.\n\t“N-NO!” Lin exclaimed.\n\t“Vapor said she smelled semen though,” he said quietly. Lin looked down, went silent and started twitching and fumbling his fingers together.\n\t“Oh, you were asleep. You had a wet dream? You, uh… you cummed while asleep,” Fang asked. Lin only nodded.\n\t“Ah jeez, Lin. I’m, we’re sorry. I’ll let Vapor know what happened. Just so you know, it’s common for that to happen. It happened to me more times than I care to count,” Fang said.\n\t“R-really?” Lin asked, looking up.\n\t“Oh yeah. It was pretty much every single night that it happened. But my body did other things, without me knowing. I was mating Vapor during the night. I was finishing in her. So I was either staining my underwear or mating Vapor. This happened for, I don’t know, at least three or four years,” he explained.\n\t“Does it stop?” Lin asked.\n\t“It kind of stops, but it still happens every once in a while,” he explained.\n\t“Oh okay,” Lin replied.\n\t“Anyway, I’m so sorry about the misunderstanding Lin,” Fang said.\n\t“It’s okay,” Lin replied.\n\t“I should go let Vapor know it was just a misunderstanding,” Fang said then stood up.\n\t“Uh Fang, could. Um, could I have that still?” Lin asked. “I uh, since I’m Panda, we mate for life when we cum in female,” he explained.\n\t“Ah yeah, here you go. Just be safe please. If you happen to actually sleep with my daughter, be careful please. She’s quite small, you know,” he said, causing Lin to turn red again.\n\t“Faaang. I like Laika but not that way. I mean, I like her. She’s cute but I wouldn’t do [i]that[/i] with her,” he whined.\n\t“Haha, okay Lin. Take care buddy,” he said then left the room.\n\n\tLin looked at the little box in his paw. Trojan was written across the top is big bold letters. His heart was pounding. He looked up from the box and shook his head. He looked around to find a place to hide them. He looked at his nightstand, shrugged his shoulders and opened it. He looked into the mostly empty drawer, there was only a couple of cables. One to charge his phone and then a spare cable for his laptop. He sat the box in the drawer and closed it. He sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the floor. A million thoughts running through his head at a million miles a second. He let out a slight smile and a chuckle, before blushing.\n\t“Why did I ask for this box? I don’t have sex. I don’t want to mate with anyone,” he thought to himself in Chinese.\n\n***\n\n\t“Laika, you busy?” Fang asked, popping his head into her bedroom.\n\t“No daddy,” she replied.\n\t“May I come in?” He asked.\n\t“Sure,” she replied. He stepped in and smiled at her.\n\t“I’ll just be a minute to finish drying my tail,” she said.\n\t“Okay,” he replied. He sat down on her bed and looked over at her. She stood in front of her cabinet with the door open, she was looking backwards in the mirror to be able to see her tail easier. He slightly frowned at seeing her labia slightly hanging down, but shook the thought out of his mind. It was her brother who she had her first time with. Multiple times. He growled internally, at the thought, not upset with the two but his brain for continuing to think about it. But it wouldn’t matter, since he was here to talk to her about sex, again.\n\t“Laika, sweetie, first I’m sorry for yelling at Lin like I did. I really was just trying to get him to stop tearing up his homework and punching the floor,” he said.\n\t“Daddy, I know you were, but you terrified Lin. He’s never seen that side of you,” she replied. She turned her head and looked at him.\n\t“I know,” he replied. He picked up her pink panties and handed them to her. She took them and put them on.\n\t“Laika, I want to talk to you about something,” he said.\n\t“Dad, Lin and me didn’t do anything together last night,” she replied.\n\t“I know that Laika. Come here,” he said and held out his paw. She took walked over and stood in front of him. He lifted her up and sat her on his lap, cradling her in his arms.\n\t“Laika, jeez, you’ve grown up so much. Listen, you’ve already had your first heat cycle. Which means that you can get pregnant quiet easily now. In or out of heat. Much more so while in heat,” he said.\n\t“I know this already,” she replied.\n\t“Laika, stop. I want to make sure that you know and that you don’t forget it. I don’t want you to end up like your mom and me or Luna. I was hoping that Luna would heed our warnings, but she didn’t. It only takes a single sperm, one moment of ecstasy during that time of fun and enjoyment. Just one time having unprotected sex and you could end up pregnant. I don’t want you to lose your cubhood because of a single moment. Not even for a few seconds of bliss and happiness,” he said.\n\t“I know and I’m done having sex. Onai was nice and sex was fun, but I want to find the right fur for me. I don’t want to have sex just for fun because I don’t want to get pregnant like that. I want to get pregnant by the fur that I truly love,” she replied.\n\t“Laika, we don’t care if you have sex, it’s in our genes to have sex during our, well females, during their heat cycles. Your mom bought you a pack of birth control pills. You take them daily, after you wake up. I know you said you don’t want to have sex anymore, but it really only takes that one special person to throw that thought out. I just want you to have a cubhood and to have all the fun you can before becoming a mother. Okay?” He said.\n\t“Okay daddy. I’ll take the pills,” she replied.\n\t“Thank you baby,” he replied then kissed her muzzle. “Now then, tell me what you thought when you woke up next to Lin? I’m just curious. Your mom says your expression was priceless,” he asked.\n\t“I, uh, yeah. I was scared to think what mom was going to do. I felt my heart skip a beat when Lin spoke up. But mom didn’t really say anything about it though. Just said something about clothes, I think,” she explained.\n\t“I bet both of your faces were bright red,” he said and chuckled.\n\t“Oh yeah, Lin’s was as bright as a coke can,” she replied.\n\t“He’s still quite shy, but he’s opened up so much since the first few months,” Fang said.\n\t“Yeah he has. He seems to be getting more brave all the time,” she replied.\n\t“He’s going to make a fine furman one day,” he said.\n\t“Cute too,” Laika replied.\n\t“Cute huh?” Fang asked and smile.\n\t“Not like that!” She replied and pushed on his arm.\n\t“Okay sweetie. Just play it safe, okay? I love you,” he said.\n\t“I will dad and love you too,” she replied. She shook her head as he left her bedroom.\n\t“Sex with Lin huh? What are they thinking?” She asked as her mind drifted off thinking about his body, his muscles, his red eyes, without realizing it. It wasn’t long before her clean panties were soaked, her fingers pushing in and out of her pussy. She came to her senses as she almost had an orgasm causing her to gasp. She was laying on her side, her right leg bent and hindpaw on the bed. Her fingers continued until she bit down, clamping her muzzle shut, her mind focused on Lin’s muscular arms and chest. “L-Lin!” She moaned out, her body shook as she hit her orgasm. She moaned as her fingers continued thrusting in and out of her sensitive pussy. After the minute long orgasm she fell flat onto her bed. Her right paw covering her crotch. Her fluid running out of her and soaking into her comforter on the bed. She stared at the ceiling, breathing hard, her heart racing super fast. She concentrated on her breathing, trying to slow it down and into its proper speed and rhythm.\n\n\tShe shook her head trying to get the thoughts out of her mind. “What the fuck?! That was … nevermind, whatever!” She thought to herself. She sighed, rolled off her bed and grabbed another clean pair of panties and headed back into the shower.\n\n***\n\n\t“Hey mom, could you drop Lin and me off at the mall, please?” Laika asked about an hour later.\n\t“Hmm, why the mall?” Vapor asked.\n\t“Lin wants to get out of the house and I want to as well,”\n\t“Hmm, I don’t know Laika, it’s an almost two hour drive, just to walk around for a couple of hours,”\n\t“You said earlier today that you needed to do some work at the office anyway. Why not take Lin and me to the mall and pick us up later? It’s only twelve-thirty in the afternoon right now,”\n\t“Is there a reason why you both want to go to the mall?”\n\t“Ah, yeah, Lin wants to look at some more clothing. He said that his clothes feels tight. I think he’s grown a little taller since he moved in with us,”\n\t“Yeah, he does seem to be a couple of inches taller. Okay Laika, I’ll take you both there. I want you to keep you phone with you and on at all times though,”\n\t“Thanks mom and I will,”\n\n\tThree hours later, Lin and Laika stepped out of Vapor’s car. She rolled the window down.\n\t“Call me if anything happens okay?” Vapor said.\n\t“We will mom. Thank you,”\n\t“Lin, do you need any money?” Vapor asked.\n\t“No. I’ll buy him what he needs,” Laika replied and smiled.\n\t“You sure? I can give him my card. Do you have enough money?”\n\t“I’m sure. I have a few thousand dollars in my account,”\n\t“How?” \n\t“I don’t spend my money like brother and sister does,” she replied.\n\t“I’m glad that you save your money sweetie. Okay then, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be off. You two behave and be careful okay?”\n\t“We will mom,”\n\t“Okay Vapor,” Lin replied.\n\t“Bye, love you both,” Vapor replied then watched the two head towards the doors then enter the large mall.\n\n\t“Where you want to go first?” Laika asked.\n\t“No don’t know,” Lin replied, which caused Laika to giggle.\n\t“You don’t know? How about clothing first?” She replied.\n\t“Uh sure,” he replied.\n\t“Come on,” she said taking his paw on holding it. She interlocked her fingers with his. She smiled at him after he looked up from their paw-holding. They walked through the mall to Furmerican Eagle. They walked into the clothing shop and headed over to the furmen’s pants section.\n\n\t“Here’s the pants. What size are you?” Laika asked.\n\t“Don’t know,” he replied shaking his head.\n\t“That’s okay. Stay here, I’ll be back,” she said then headed away. A moment later she returned with an employee. They got Lin’s measurements and thanked the employee.\n\n\tLaika pulled a pair of pants off the wall and unfolded them. They were medium wash jeans. She held them up and asked him what he thought of them. The front of the legs were slightly whitened from the “wash,” giving them a unique, rugged and worn, look against regular blue jeans. Lin, once again, shrugged and said he didn’t know.\n\t“You don’t do much clothes shopping do you?” Laika asked.\n\t“Not really,” he replied.\n\t“It’s okay. Take them and go into that room and try them on. Come back out when they’re on, okay?” She said and smiled.\n\n\tA few minutes later Lin walked out of the dressing room wearing the pants. Laika smiled, “they look great on you Lin,” she said, causing him to blush.\n\t“Thanks,” he replied then looked at himself in the mirror.\n\t“You like them?”\n\t“Yeah, I think so. They, uh, um, what’s the word?” He asked and moved his paws back and forth, “uh, like rubberband.”\n\t“They stretch?”\n\t“Ah, yes that,” he replied and smiled.\n\t“Yeah, F.E. pants are cool like that. I love their pants for that reason. They don’t ride up and don’t feel uncomfortable when squatting or anything like that,” she explained.\n\t“I do like these,” he replied.\n\t“Good. You want to look at more color variations or do you like these?”\n\t“I like these. The color is nice,”\n\t“Okay good. Go back in and get back into your other pants. I’ll get you a few more,” she replied and gently pushed him into the dressing room stall. She walked back over to the shelf and pulled off the five remaining pairs.\n\n\tFor the next hour Laika took Lin around the store and they picked out shirts and shorts and a few other odds and ends. They picked out button up shirts both short sleeve and long sleeves in various colors, light blue, gray, navy, blue and pink. They also picked up five pairs of cargo shorts. The two of them walked up to the counter, Lin sat down the five pairs of cargo shorts while Laika grabbed the pile they had made throughout their time there.\n\t“Did you find everything you were looking for?” The sales associate, a deer doe, asked.\n\t“I think so,” both replied.\n\t“Good to hear,” she replied with a smile then started ringing up the pile of clothing.\n\t“Your total is $1,330.59. Will that be cash or card?”\n\t“Who carries around over a thousand in cash?” Laika asked confused but also giggled.\n\t“Haha, well, you would be surprised at how common it actually is. Had a customer a couple of weeks back pay for more than $5,000 in cash,” she said while Laika swiped her card.\n\t“Laika. This is a lot of money, right?” Lin asked.\n\t“Hmm, it’s up there yes. Why?” She asked while signing her name.\n\t“Are you sure? I don’t want to, um, what is it? You spend all money on me,” he replied.\n\t“It’s fine Lin, I promise. It’s clothes and you need them, right?”\n\t“Well, I guess, but that’s a lot of money,”\n\t“Don’t worry about it Lin. It’s okay, really,” she replied, smiling at him.\n\t“Thank you Laika,” he replied.\n\t“No problem Lin,” she replied and took one of the three bags.\n\t“You two have a great day and come back,” the lady said.\n\t“Thank you and you too!” Laika replied. She took hold of Lin’s paw and lead him back into the main corridor.\n\n\tThe two walked around a little bit until Laika stopped at the from of Mordstrom, a very expensive shop that carried top of the line, often gaudy looking clothing, all very, very expensive items. Even baby clothes started at $75 for infants, a good majority of them cost well over $250 for a single outfit. Some of the adult clothing, pants, shirts and shorts often cost from $500 to almost $2000 for a single piece. She didn’t want to look at any clothing though.\n\n\t“Let’s head in here Lin. I want to look at one thing only. Don’t look at the prices though,” she said.\n\t“Why not look at prices?” He asked as they walked inside.\n\t“Oh, you’ll find out,” she replied. They walked around until she found what she wanted. It didn’t take long as her nose led her there. Cologne for furmen.\n\t“Lin, are you okay with smelling things and smelling nice?” She asked.\n\t“Uh, I guess?” He replied while his nose sniffled and wiggled from the heavy amount of fragrance in the air. They stepped up to the glass cabinet filled with hundreds of glass bottles of cologne. His nose was already burning from the mix of fragrances and he was sure it was only going to get worse.\n\t“Hello,” Laika said to the lady behind the counter.\n\t“Hello there, madam and sir, how may I help you,”\n\t“I’m looking for a per- uh, cologne for my friend. Could you help us please?”\n\t“I’m sure I can help him find the perfect cologne,” she replied with a smile.\n\n\tThe lady, a petite yet elegant Papillon, was wearing a necklace with 24 pearls on it, the pearls ranged from half inch round to about two inches round. She lifted up a box filled with tiny bottles, only about two inches tall about about half inch thick. She sat the box onto the glass display counter then looked up at Lin.\n\n\t“Let’s see. Panda, young teenager, good muscle tone, great smile, beautiful red eyes. I’m more than sure we have something that will fit you perfectly!” She said then looked through the bottles. Lin looked over at Laika who smiled at him. His face burned from blushing, as well as being confused at what was going on. “Add shy and quickly embarrassed to that list,” Laika chuckled.\n\n\tFor the next fifteen minutes the sales associate gave Lin a spritz of cologne until he finally decided on a single one, but not really for the smell, even though he really did like how it smelled. He liked the bottle shape more.\n\t“I rike this one. Bottle reminds me of alchemy,” he said.\n\t“That is a very good brand,” the lady replied.\n\t“Do you want it?” Laika asked.\n\t“I don’t. I guess,” he replied.\n\t“We’ll take one bottle ma’am,”\n\t“Very well,” she replied. She turned around to a shelf and pulled a single bottle off of it. She looked at it and allowed the two to look as well while she held it in her paws, cupping it as if it was a tiny baby.\n\t“Creed, Silver Mountain Water,” Laika said, “sounds really fancy.”\n\t“I’ll walk it up to the front checkout for you if you’re finished shopping with us,” she replied.\n\t“Yes, we’re done,” Laika replied, “this place is far too expensive for anything else,” she added with a chuckle.\n\n\tAfter checking out Laika looked at the receipt and exhaled, $709.10 for that single 8.4 oz (250 ml) bottle of cologne.\n\t“Lin, I’m sure I don’t have to tell you this, but… hmm, just be careful with that bottle, okay? Try not to drop it or use it up too fast,” She said with a smile.\n\t“I know,” he replied and looked down at the bags in his paw.\n\t“You okay Lin?” She asked.\n\t“I… Laika, why you buying me all this stuff?” He asked.\n\t“Because you’re a nice fur and it’s nice to give things to friends. Plus, I want you to look and smell good and to be happy,” she replied.\n\t“Oh, okay,” he replied, blushing.\n\t“Come on, let’s go walk around and look at other places. I need to get me some clothing too before we leave,” she replied.\n\n\tAbout an hour passed while they visited four other stores, they were in another store when Lin’s stomach grumbled.\n\n\t“Raika, uh, Laika, I’m hungry. Can we get bite to eat?” He asked while she looked at some clothing for her in The Cubs Place.\n\t“Ah yeah. Let me finish here and we’ll get some food here. Okay?” She replied.\n\t“Okay,” he replied. He was staring down at the floor, being quite a bit embarrassed about being in the girls clothing section. There were dresses and panties and other girly things all around him. Laika handed over a couple of sealed packages to him, “can you hold these please? I need to check if this dress fits me,” she asked. He took the two packages of panties and nodded silently. They walked over to the dressing room stall and she walked in while Lin stood outside still staring down at the floor.\n\n\tA minute later he heard giggling coming from about fifteen feet away. He dared to look up. He saw three teenage girls giggling and two of them were looking over at him. One of them waved at him, a vixen. He gave a small smile then looked back down at the floor. He was laser focused on the floor when a pair of furry paws broke his vision, they had no shoes on. He looked up to the sight of the young teenage vixen, a fox.\n\t“Uh, h-hello,” the fox girl said quietly.\n\t“Uh, h-hello,” Lin replied.\n\t“Uh…” she said, stopped and looked back at her friends who urged her by pushing their paws towards her and telling her “go on and ask!”\n\t“I, I. I’m Nixie, uh, …” she replied, red faced and highly embarrassed.\n\t“I’m Lin,”\n\t“Uh, um, do you have a gir-” she stopped talking when the dressing room stall opened and Laika walked out, “Lin, what do you think of this?” She asked without looking up yet, she was readjusting the dress from being twisted a bit on her body. Nixie and Lin both stood there about three feet apart speechless until Nixie spoke up. “Oh. Uh, you have a girlfriend already,” she said sadly then apologized and rushed off.\n\t“Girlfriend?” Laika asked, “But, I’m not his …,” she said loud enough for the girl to hear, but it was too late as she rushed out of the store, heavily embarrassed and a bit heart broken. Her two friends looked over and gave Lin and Laika a friendly smile and wave before running after their friend.\n\t“What does she mean?” Lin asked.\n\t“She thought we were dating, like a couple,” she explained.\n\t“You mean like Fang and Vapor?”\n\t“Well, kind of, just not married,” she said and chuckled.\n\t“Oh. Okay?”\n\t“She liked you Lin, probably wanted to ask you out on a date or something,”\n\t“Oh. Ooooh, okay,” he replied, then looked back at the store entrance.\n\t“Don’t worry about it. Maybe you two will run into each other again while we’re here,”\n\t“Oh uh, sure,” he replied then looked back at Laika.\n\t“Now then, how does this dress look on me?” She asked.\n\t“Oh, okay I guess,”\n\t“Just okay?” She asked.\n\t“I don’t know this stuff Laika. I’m sorry,”\n\t“It’s okay Lin. No worries. I think it’s cute. I’ll buy it then we can go and eat,”\n\n\tAbout fifteen minutes later the two of them were sitting in the cafeteria eating Flying Dragon’s Chinese. Lin stuck a piece of the Orange Chicken and plopped it into his mouth. It was tasty, just like he’s had before. The two of them sat there quietly talking between each other, near the end they agreed to visit one more store, the MEGO store.\n\n\tAfter grabbing half a dozen MEGO sets, they paid and headed to the front. Vapor had been sitting outside while they ate. Laika let her mom know they were eating and had one more store to visit and wouldn’t take “no” for an answer.\n\n\tBefore leaving the mall Laika stopped Lin and faced him.\n\n\t“I had a lot of fun today, Lin. Thanks for coming with me,” she said, leaned up and kissed him, muzzle to muzzle, for just a second. She lowered down on her paws and smiled back, both of them blushing bright red.\n\t“I, luh… uhhhh…” he trailed off as Laika’s phone started ringing.\n\t“We’re coming out now mom. Where you parked at?” She asked. After getting her answer, she smiled at Lin.\n\t“Ready to go home?” Laika asked.\n\n\tHe nodded in silence then walked beside Laika, who stood quite a bit shorter than him.\n\n***\n\nTuesday May 15, 2029\n\n\tLin’s first school year in America had ended. He didn’t get into any more fights and had gained new respect from quite a few students, some out of fear of his martial arts, others just in awe of him beating up a snobby bully jock. He gained a lot of friends as well, including Bruno. He enjoyed his first American school year and his host family. He wondered what new things he would learn during his first true summer break. He was still sad that he failed English and Writing and would have to repeat the twelfth grade, but he started to kind of look forward to it.\n\nTuesday May 15, 2029",
  "writing_bbcode_parsed": "<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'>Chapter 5<br />Thursday March 1, 2029<br /><br />\tIt was the end of the third quarter of the school year when all the cubs walked into the house. Vapor stood at the bottom of the stairs. Her arms crossed and looked at them all as they walked up to her. She put her paw out in front of her.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Report cards please,&rdquo; she stated. As everyone passed her to head upstairs they handed over their report cards. Lin placed his and rushed upstairs without saying a word, but he was breathing heavily. Onai and Luna was next. After all of the report cards were all in her paw she took them to the dining room table and flipped through them. Willow sat across from her drinking a coke, something rare for her. &ldquo;What the fuck?!&rdquo; Vapor shrieked as she saw Lin&rsquo;s report card. Willow looked over at her.<br />\t&ldquo;What&rsquo;s wrong?&rdquo; Willow asked.<br />\t&ldquo;Lin&rsquo;s got A+ in everything except English. He received a D- 61 points, just two points from failing,&rdquo; Vapor replied.<br />\t&ldquo;His teacher never called?&rdquo; Willow asked.<br />\t&ldquo;Nope. I&rsquo;m going to go talk to him. I wondered why he was so quiet and rushed upstairs so fast,&rdquo; Vapor stated.<br />\t&ldquo;Take it easy on him Vapor. He&rsquo;s not a native English speaker,&rdquo; Willow warned as Vapor got stood up.<br />\t&ldquo;Yeah yeah, I know,&rdquo; Vapor replied.<br /><br />\tShe knocked on Lin&rsquo;s door and entered. She saw him close his laptop and look over at her.<br />\t&ldquo;Everything okay?&rdquo; Lin asked as he looked away. Vapor sat down on the foot of the bed and beckoned him to stand in front of her.<br />\t&ldquo;Come here Lin,&rdquo; she said. He got up and walked up to her, his ears were flat against his head. He knew he was in trouble.<br />\t&ldquo;Why didn&rsquo;t you ask for help in English Lin? I&rsquo;m disappointed in your grade,&rdquo; she said.<br />\t&ldquo;I. I don&rsquo;t know. It&rsquo;s hard to understand it all. There&rsquo;s all those marks, umm, comma, periods, the ones that hang upside down and more,&rdquo; he explained.<br />\t&ldquo;Lin you need to ask for help. Either your teacher, students, friends or any of us here,&rdquo; she replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Am I in trouble?&rdquo; He asked.<br />\t&ldquo;Yes. Yes you are,&rdquo; she replied bluntly.<br />\t&ldquo;I thought I would be,&rdquo; he replied then walked over to his laptop. He picked it up and walked back over to her and held it out in front of him.<br />\t&ldquo;I already told sister that I can&rsquo;t talk to her until later. Told her I fail English class,&rdquo; he explained.<br />\t&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not taking your laptop Lin, that&rsquo;s the only way you&rsquo;re able to talk to your family. Plus you didn&rsquo;t fail, you have a near failing grade,&rdquo; she replied. He looked up and smiled as a few tears dropped to the floor.<br />\t&ldquo;You. You mean it?&rdquo; He asked.<br />\t&ldquo;Yes,&rdquo; she replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Thank you!&rdquo; He exclaimed.<br />\t&ldquo;Where&rsquo;s your binder with all your English work in it?&rdquo; She asked. He walked over to his neatly arranged desk. He sat his laptop back down then pulled out a red four inch binder and walked back over and held it out to her. She took it and flipped through the third quarter section.<br />\t&ldquo;Most of your papers are between sixty and sixty-five, you have quite a few that are failing,&rdquo; she stated.<br />\t&ldquo;I know,&rdquo; he replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Your punishment is for you to redo all the papers that you failed and those that are below 70 points. I want them done before the weekend is over. Understood?&rdquo; Vapor stated.<br />\t&ldquo;Yes,&rdquo; he replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Good. Go on and get started. I&rsquo;ll call for you when dinner is ready. No TV until they are all finished, understood?&rdquo; She stated pulling the TV power cable from the wall.<br />\t&ldquo;Okay Vapor. Can Laika help me?&rdquo; He asked. She handed him the folder back.<br />\t&ldquo;Yes, but you are to do all of the work. I&rsquo;ll go get her for you,&rdquo; she replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Thank you Vapor,&rdquo; he said with a smile and hugged her. She hugged him back. Vapor headed towards the door then stopped.<br />\t&ldquo;Oh Lin. The next time you put a near failing or failing report card in my paw and rush off like you did, I won&rsquo;t take it easy on you again. You&rsquo;ll get the same treatment as my own cubs. You&rsquo;ll be grounded until that class has an acceptable passing grade. That would mean no laptop, games, cell phone, TV. However I would allow you to chat with your sister for one hour twice a week. I know that family is very important to you. Understood?&rdquo; Vapor stated.<br />\t&ldquo;I understand Vapor, I will not fail you again,&rdquo; he replied and sat down at his desk. A few minutes later Laika walked in and shut the door behind her. The pair started working on the papers that were failing grades. Laika had explicit instructions NOT to help Lin with the answers, meaning she couldn&rsquo;t just straight up tell him x is y or y is z, instead she has to guide him and remind him and help him look through his school book for the answers.<br /><br />***<br /><br />Sunday March 4, 2029<br /><br />\tThat Sunday Lin walked into the office where Vapor and Willow sat looking over stuff for Wolfe and Fox. He sat the folder on the desk.<br />\t&ldquo;All done,&rdquo; he replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Thank you Lin. I&rsquo;ll look at it later. I talked to your teacher yesterday, and she said she would help you more while in class but YOU have to ask her for help more often. Understood?&rdquo; Vapor stated.<br />\t&ldquo;I will. Thank you,&rdquo; Lin replied. <br />\t&ldquo;She&rsquo;ll also accept your revised papers, but you won&rsquo;t get more than a 75 on them,&rdquo; Vapor stated.<br />\t&ldquo;That&rsquo;s good right?&rdquo; Lin asked.<br />\t&ldquo;Yes, means that you won&rsquo;t have a 61 on your final report card or your permanent record,&rdquo; Vapor explained.<br />\t&ldquo;Thank you. I leave to go back to my room,&rdquo; Lin said then bowed and left the room.<br />\t&ldquo;He&rsquo;s so cute when he bows,&rdquo; Willow stated and chuckled.<br />\t&ldquo;Yeah he is,&rdquo; Vapor replied.<br /><br />\tA couple of hours later Vapor sat in the sitting room with her hindpaws propped up on an Ottoman stool. The fish tank behind her was bubbling away and fish swimming around. The reflection of the water flashed off of papers in Lin&rsquo;s English binder that sat in her lap while she looked over all of the papers. A mark here and a mark there, to correct his punctuation. Other than a few misspelled words and incorrect punctuation he was doing pretty well.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Laika, go get Lin please,&rdquo; Vapor said to her. Laika was sitting next to her staring into the round fish aquarium.<br />\t&ldquo;Okay mommy,&rdquo; she said then rushed off.<br /><br />\tA few minutes later the two of them walked down the stairs talking. They walked up to Vapor, Laika sat back down and then continued watching the fish.<br />\t&ldquo;You need me Vapor?&rdquo; Lin asked.<br />\t&ldquo;Sit down,&rdquo; she replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Okay,&rdquo; he replied and did as asked.<br />\t&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve looked over all of your revised work. You did better but you&rsquo;re still having issues with punctuation,&rdquo; she explained and opened the binder. She tapped multiple spots on multiple sheets, where she made pen marks in blue.<br />\t&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t understand them. I tried but I can&rsquo;t,&rdquo; he replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t sell yourself short Lin. Look here,&rdquo; she said and flipped to a later paper. There was just a few marks on the page, which were only spelling errors and three punctuation errors.<br />\t&ldquo;You do know how to use punctuation correctly. I think that you&rsquo;re stressing yourself out over it. We ask you to have acceptable passing grades but not to overwork yourself doing so. Are you feeling stress from all of this?&rdquo; She asked.<br />\t&ldquo;Yes,&rdquo; he replied as his voice cracked. Laika looked over at him and watched him wipe at his eyes.<br />\t&ldquo;Lin, don&rsquo;t push yourself. Just study and ask for help,&rdquo; Vapor said.<br />\t&ldquo;Okay,&rdquo; he replied and exhaled trying to not show his real emotions.<br />\t&ldquo;Lin. I&rsquo;m happy to help you anytime you need it,&rdquo; Laika said then smiled at him.<br />\t&ldquo;Thank you Laika,&rdquo; he replied.<br />\t&ldquo;I printed these worksheets to help you Lin. All you have to do on them is use the correct punctuation marks in the boxes. You don&rsquo;t have to do them tonight, but I would like to see them by next weekend. There&rsquo;s twenty pages. All of them are for your age and school class,&rdquo; she explained.<br />\t&ldquo;I will work on them. Can Laika help?&rdquo; He replied.<br />\t&ldquo;No. Not on these. I want YOU to do them yourself. If you&rsquo;re feeling stressed, step away and relax. Take a hot shower, exercise, eat, do whatever you need to do to destress yourself. Okay?&rdquo; She said.<br />\t&ldquo;Okay,&rdquo; he replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Good. You can go back doing whatever you were doing before,&rdquo; she said and handed him the folder back and the worksheets.<br /><br />***<br /><br />Friday March 9, 2029<br /><br />\tFriday, a few hours after school, Fang rushed into Lin&rsquo;s bedroom after Lin screamed, loudly. Fang burst through the door and stared at Lin.<br />\t&ldquo;What&rsquo;s wrong Lin?&rdquo; He asked frantically. Lin stood there surrounded by torn up sheets of paper. He was breathing deep and heavily. His paws balled up. His eyes furious. His chest rose and fell quickly. In his paws was a paper ripped in half.<br />\t&ldquo;Fuck this stuff!&rdquo; Lin scowled. Fang took a step backwards, halfway scared of Lin&rsquo;s anger and pissed off body language.<br />\t&ldquo;Lin, breath and calm down,&rdquo; Fang said after a few seconds. Lin looked up at him, his red eyes almost appeared to be even brighter red than normal, even brighter than Quill&rsquo;s eyes. Lin exhaled and dropped to the floor, onto his legs and just broke out into a mental crying fit.<br />\t&ldquo;I can&rsquo;t figure this stuff out,&rdquo; he finally said minutes later. Fang walked up to him and sat down in front of the sobbing Panda.<br />\t&ldquo;What can&rsquo;t you figure out Lin?&rdquo; He asked.<br />\t&ldquo;Comma&rsquo;s and those weird commas with the dot above,&rdquo; he explained.<br />\t&ldquo;Okay. But you know Lin, it doesn&rsquo;t help when you tear up your homework,&rdquo; he replied.<br />\t&ldquo;I give up. I can&rsquo;t do this Fang,&rdquo; he said then started tearing up more papers that was around him.<br />\t&ldquo;<strong>LIN! STOP! OR I&rsquo;LL WHIP YOUR ASS INTO THE GROUND!!!</strong>&rdquo; Fang scowled, a military command, his deep voice resonated and echoed through the house. Lin gasped and stared up at Fang. He had never seen his host father this pissed off before, not even when he got into the two fights. He could almost visualize smoke coming from Fang&rsquo;s nostrils. Of course there was no smoke, just a pissed off Wolf.<br />\t&ldquo;Why? Its useless,&rdquo; he replied.<br />\t&ldquo;No Lin it&rsquo;s not, you&rsquo;re-&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;What&rsquo;s going on?&rdquo; Laika asked rushing into the room. She saw Lin on the floor crying, tears flowing down his face. She ran up to him and glared at her dad.<br />\t&ldquo;What are you doing to him daddy? He&rsquo;s crying!&rdquo; She shouted, while moving in between the two.<br />\t&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not doing anything to him. He&rsquo;s stressed out due to all the homework. Look around you. He&rsquo;s torn up his homework,&rdquo; Fang replied calmly. She looked around and noticed he was telling the truth.<br />\t&ldquo;Daddy, there&rsquo;s still no reason to yell at him,&rdquo; she said.<br />\t&ldquo;I only yelled to get his attention Laika. Step away please,&rdquo; he said.<br />\t&ldquo;No, not until you calm down. Ever since you got back from the military you&rsquo;ve been nothing but a brat and shouting and commanding all of us to do stuff. You&rsquo;re not going to do that to Lin,&rdquo; she said. She moved backwards and sat down. She sat down in Lin&rsquo;s lap and glared at her dad. Protecting Lin from her father&rsquo;s anger. Fang sighed a deep exhale of breath and nodded.<br />\t&ldquo;Lin. Take a break from your homework for the night. Try again in the morning. That&rsquo;s what I was going to say before Laika interrupted,&rdquo; he said.<br />\t&ldquo;Laika, next time you interrupt me getting onto someone, you&rsquo;ll be grounded and take on extra chores,&rdquo; he said.<br />\t&ldquo;See?! That&rsquo;s what I mean. Before the military you were never like this. Sure you punished us, but you were never mean like this or yelled so badly at any of us. Go away and let me try to get Lin calmed down. Leave. NOW!&rdquo; she said.<br />\t&ldquo;I meant what I said, interrupt me again and you&rsquo;ll face punishment,&rdquo; he replied then left the room.<br /><br />\tLaika stood up and turned around. Lin was staring at his legs, where Laika was just sitting. He was blushing but fear filled his eyes.<br />\t&ldquo;Come on Lin,&rdquo; she said taking his paws. She attempted to pull him up to no avail, due to her being much smaller than him. He looked up at her and gave a faint smile. After a second attempt of trying to pull him up from the floor, he stood up then sat in the computer chair.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Breath Lin. Everything will be okay. My dad didn&rsquo;t mean to be mean like that,&rdquo; she said.<br />\t&ldquo;No, he&rsquo;s right. But I just suck at this English stuff,&rdquo; he replied.<br />\t&ldquo;No Lin, you don&rsquo;t. You&rsquo;re doing great. You&rsquo;ve improved so much since you first arrived. Sure you&rsquo;re having issues with some things, but that&rsquo;s normal. Even I have issues with stuff,&rdquo; she said.<br />\t&ldquo;No, you&rsquo;re perfect,&rdquo; he replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Haha,&rdquo; she chuckled, &ldquo;no Lin, I&rsquo;m not. But thank you,&rdquo; she replied and smiled, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m horrible at science.&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;Really?&rdquo; He asked.<br />\t&ldquo;Yes. I struggle with science a lot. I have to get help from my mom, dad, Luna or Katia all the time,&rdquo; she replied.<br />\t&ldquo;But I don&rsquo;t give up though, and you shouldn&rsquo;t either. Look at this,&rdquo; she said. She pulled his English folder from his desk and opened it to the first assignment.<br />\t&ldquo;Look here Lin,&rdquo; she said and pointed at multiple red circles, &ldquo;this is your first assignment. You made a 34 on it. Your second assignment you made a 35,&rdquo; she said. She flipped to the near end of the folder, passing by hundreds of pages. &ldquo;Now Lin, here&rsquo;s one from, uhhhh&hellip; three weeks ago. You got a 79 on it. The previous assignment 68. The one before that 85. The very last assignment you turned in, you made a 79,&rdquo; she said, closing the folder and putting it back up.<br />\t&ldquo;Lin, you&rsquo;ve improved so much. I&rsquo;m proud of how much you have improved. I will agree with my dad on one thing he said, you&rsquo;re stressed out. You&rsquo;re stressing yourself out. You&rsquo;re so scared of failing that it&rsquo;s causing you to lose your focus, which will cause you to start failing again. You have your English class every other day, but you work on it daily. You need to stop and relax from it. Those papers that my mom gave you, I&rsquo;m taking them and giving them back to her. You don&rsquo;t need that added stress,&rdquo; she said.<br />\t&ldquo;Laika,&rdquo; he said. He sat up and wrapped his arms around her and hugged her as he started crying. She hugged his head while he finally let his pent up emotions and stress out.<br /><br />\tA little bit later he exhaled and looked up at her. She smiled and wiped the tears from his face. She leaned down and kissed the side of his short muzzle. After pulling away both of them blushed.<br />\t&ldquo;You feel better now?&rdquo; She asked.<br />\t&ldquo;Yes. Thank you Laika,&rdquo; he replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Good. Put this stuff up and take a break. Lay down and watch TV,&rdquo; she said.<br />\t&ldquo;Okay Laika. Would you watch it with me?&rdquo; He asked.<br />\t&ldquo;Yeah sure. But I have to do something first,&rdquo; she said. She picked up his torn homework and pieced it back together then taped it up. She grabbed the worksheets that her mom printed out and rushed out of the room.<br /><br />\tDown in the living room, she walked in to see her mom and dad sitting and watching TV. She walked up to them and stared at her dad for a few seconds. She tossed the worksheets into Vapor&rsquo;s lap, who picked them up.<br />\t&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t give Lin more work. He&rsquo;s too stressed out enough from his English homework. He doesn&rsquo;t need more work,&rdquo; she said.<br />\t&ldquo;Yeah I know. Your father told me. I feel bad now,&rdquo; she replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Good. Dad, you stay away from Lin. You yelling at him like that didn&rsquo;t help,&rdquo; she said.<br />\t&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t yell at him to scare him, I did it to snap him out of the way he was acting,&rdquo; he replied.<br />\t&ldquo;You yelled at him loud enough for me to hear it in my bathroom, with both doors closed, dad,&rdquo; she replied.<br />\t&ldquo;He was tearing up his homework sweetie. I tried to get him to stop without doing that,&rdquo; he said.<br />\t&ldquo;You scared the fuck out of him dad. Don&rsquo;t yell at Lin again,&rdquo; she said, turned around and stormed out of the living room. Vapor looked over at him and shook her head, just slightly.<br />\t&ldquo;I heard you down here too babe. You yelled far too loud,&rdquo; she said.<br />\t&ldquo;Fine. I&rsquo;ll apologize later. I&rsquo;ll let him cool down first,&rdquo; he replied.<br /><br />\tAn hour later Lin and Laika was laying on his bed watching TV. They were laughing and having fun watching the comedy cartoon. Laika yawned and laid her head down on the pillow and quickly fell asleep without Lin noticing. Around ten minutes later he looked over and was surprised to see her sleeping. He started to freak out a bit. &ldquo;What should I do?&rdquo; &ldquo;Should I wake her up?&rdquo; &ldquo;What happens if Fang or Vapor come in?&rdquo; He thought to himself. He looked back down after she shifted her body. She grabbed hold of the blanket and tried covering herself up. However, being on top of the blanket and sheets she wasn&rsquo;t able to. He exhaled and thought for a moment. After a few minutes, he made a decision. He carefully pulled the blanket and sheets from underneath her then covered her up. He walked over and turned the lights off and got in bed. He turned on his side and stared at the beautiful wolf next to him. He smiled then closed his eyes.<br /><br />***<br /><br />Saturday March 10, 2029<br /><br />\tThe next morning Lin and Laika was woken up by Vapor. They hadn&rsquo;t come down to breakfast. Being a Saturday, Vapor allowed the cubs to sleep in and get breakfast later. Over an hour after breakfast she had started to worry, especially for Lin as he&rsquo;s usually the first up. She stood at the side of the bed and called their names out with a raised voice. Both of them sprung out of bed and looked around. Their eye&rsquo;s focused on Vapor.<br />\t&ldquo;Why are you sleeping here Laika?&rdquo; Vapor asked.<br />\t&ldquo;What?&rdquo; Laika asked groggily and not realizing what room she woke up in.<br />\t&ldquo;She fell asleep and I didn&rsquo;t want to wake her,&rdquo; Lin said. As soon as he spoke the first three words, Laika gasped and twisted her neck towards his voice. Her eyes widened and her heart skipped a beat. She looked around and finally noticed. She looked back at her mom, she had no idea what to say. As she moved backwards the sheets fell from her paws, uncovering her.<br />\t&ldquo;At least you&rsquo;re clothed,&rdquo; Vapor said. &ldquo;Go get washed up and go get breakfast Laika,&rdquo; she added.<br /><br />\tLaika looked over at Lin for a few seconds before quickly tossing the covers off her legs and rushing out of the room. Lin looked back at Vapor.<br />\t&ldquo;We were watching TV and she fell asleep, nothing else,&rdquo; he said.<br />\t&ldquo;Okay,&rdquo; she replied still looking at him, &ldquo;get cleaned up and go get breakfast Lin,&rdquo; she added then left the room. Lin exhaled and pulled the sheets back. He looked down at his underwear. The front had a stain on them and were still sticky.<br />\t&ldquo;Why do you do this?&rdquo; He asked quietly in Chinese.<br /><br />\tThe two sat at the dining table silently eating their microwaved heated breakfast. Laika would peek over at him but he always had his head down. Both feeling embarrassed about being caught sleeping together. They continued to sit there quietly until Lin finished eating. He looked up and caught her staring at him.<br />\t&ldquo;Good morning,&rdquo; he said, finally speaking.<br />\t&ldquo;M-morning,&rdquo; she replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Okay,&rdquo; he replied not knowing how to actually reply back in embarrassment. He picked up his plate and headed into the kitchen. He rinsed off the plate, fork and knife and put them into the dishwasher. Laika took her last bit and watched him walk through the dining room, past the round aquarium in the foyer and then headed upstairs. After finishing the final bite, she cleaned her plate and put it in the dishwasher.<br /><br />\tA couple hours had passed when a knock sounded on Lin&rsquo;s door. He called to enter. Fang stepped inside then shut the door behind him. Lin was sitting at his desk, homework in front of him.<br />\t&ldquo;Hi Fang,&rdquo; Lin said. Fang grabbed the extra chair and sat it a few feet away, then sat down.<br />\t&ldquo;Morning Lin,&rdquo; he replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Is everything okay?&rdquo; Lin asked.<br />\t&ldquo;Yeah. Lin, listen. I&rsquo;m sorry for yelling at you last night. I shouldn&rsquo;t have. I should have gotten your attention some other way. I&rsquo;m sorry,&rdquo; he said.<br />\t&ldquo;It&rsquo;s okay Fang. I was tearing up homework and that was bad. You did what you need to,&rdquo; Lin replied.<br />\t&ldquo;It still doesn&rsquo;t matter, not for how I yelled at and threatened to whip your ass. You&rsquo;re not my cub for me to say or do such things,&rdquo; he replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Thanks Fang,&rdquo; Lin replied.<br />\t&ldquo;I hope I didn&rsquo;t scare you too much,&rdquo; he replied.<br />\t&ldquo;A little but I&rsquo;m okay now,&rdquo; Lin replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Okay. Again I&rsquo;m sorry,&rdquo; he replied.<br />\t&ldquo;It&rsquo;s okay,&rdquo; Lin replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Okay Lin, one more thing. Vapor told me you and Laika slept together last night,&rdquo; Fang said. Lin gasped and his eyes widened.<br />\t&ldquo;She fell asleep when we watched TV. I didn&rsquo;t want to wake her up. I wake her up next time,&rdquo; he explained.<br />\t&ldquo;We don&rsquo;t care if you two sleep in the same bed. Just make sure to use a condom,&rdquo; Fang said then pulled out a small box of condoms.<br />\t&ldquo;What? I. I would n-n-n-never do th-that to her,&rdquo; he said and turned bright red, &ldquo;we didn&rsquo;t do that,&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;You didn&rsquo;t?&rdquo; Fang asked.<br />\t&ldquo;N-NO!&rdquo; Lin exclaimed.<br />\t&ldquo;Vapor said she smelled semen though,&rdquo; he said quietly. Lin looked down, went silent and started twitching and fumbling his fingers together.<br />\t&ldquo;Oh, you were asleep. You had a wet dream? You, uh&hellip; you cummed while asleep,&rdquo; Fang asked. Lin only nodded.<br />\t&ldquo;Ah jeez, Lin. I&rsquo;m, we&rsquo;re sorry. I&rsquo;ll let Vapor know what happened. Just so you know, it&rsquo;s common for that to happen. It happened to me more times than I care to count,&rdquo; Fang said.<br />\t&ldquo;R-really?&rdquo; Lin asked, looking up.<br />\t&ldquo;Oh yeah. It was pretty much every single night that it happened. But my body did other things, without me knowing. I was mating Vapor during the night. I was finishing in her. So I was either staining my underwear or mating Vapor. This happened for, I don&rsquo;t know, at least three or four years,&rdquo; he explained.<br />\t&ldquo;Does it stop?&rdquo; Lin asked.<br />\t&ldquo;It kind of stops, but it still happens every once in a while,&rdquo; he explained.<br />\t&ldquo;Oh okay,&rdquo; Lin replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Anyway, I&rsquo;m so sorry about the misunderstanding Lin,&rdquo; Fang said.<br />\t&ldquo;It&rsquo;s okay,&rdquo; Lin replied.<br />\t&ldquo;I should go let Vapor know it was just a misunderstanding,&rdquo; Fang said then stood up.<br />\t&ldquo;Uh Fang, could. Um, could I have that still?&rdquo; Lin asked. &ldquo;I uh, since I&rsquo;m Panda, we mate for life when we cum in female,&rdquo; he explained.<br />\t&ldquo;Ah yeah, here you go. Just be safe please. If you happen to actually sleep with my daughter, be careful please. She&rsquo;s quite small, you know,&rdquo; he said, causing Lin to turn red again.<br />\t&ldquo;Faaang. I like Laika but not that way. I mean, I like her. She&rsquo;s cute but I wouldn&rsquo;t do <em>that</em> with her,&rdquo; he whined.<br />\t&ldquo;Haha, okay Lin. Take care buddy,&rdquo; he said then left the room.<br /><br />\tLin looked at the little box in his paw. Trojan was written across the top is big bold letters. His heart was pounding. He looked up from the box and shook his head. He looked around to find a place to hide them. He looked at his nightstand, shrugged his shoulders and opened it. He looked into the mostly empty drawer, there was only a couple of cables. One to charge his phone and then a spare cable for his laptop. He sat the box in the drawer and closed it. He sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the floor. A million thoughts running through his head at a million miles a second. He let out a slight smile and a chuckle, before blushing.<br />\t&ldquo;Why did I ask for this box? I don&rsquo;t have sex. I don&rsquo;t want to mate with anyone,&rdquo; he thought to himself in Chinese.<br /><br />***<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Laika, you busy?&rdquo; Fang asked, popping his head into her bedroom.<br />\t&ldquo;No daddy,&rdquo; she replied.<br />\t&ldquo;May I come in?&rdquo; He asked.<br />\t&ldquo;Sure,&rdquo; she replied. He stepped in and smiled at her.<br />\t&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll just be a minute to finish drying my tail,&rdquo; she said.<br />\t&ldquo;Okay,&rdquo; he replied. He sat down on her bed and looked over at her. She stood in front of her cabinet with the door open, she was looking backwards in the mirror to be able to see her tail easier. He slightly frowned at seeing her labia slightly hanging down, but shook the thought out of his mind. It was her brother who she had her first time with. Multiple times. He growled internally, at the thought, not upset with the two but his brain for continuing to think about it. But it wouldn&rsquo;t matter, since he was here to talk to her about sex, again.<br />\t&ldquo;Laika, sweetie, first I&rsquo;m sorry for yelling at Lin like I did. I really was just trying to get him to stop tearing up his homework and punching the floor,&rdquo; he said.<br />\t&ldquo;Daddy, I know you were, but you terrified Lin. He&rsquo;s never seen that side of you,&rdquo; she replied. She turned her head and looked at him.<br />\t&ldquo;I know,&rdquo; he replied. He picked up her pink panties and handed them to her. She took them and put them on.<br />\t&ldquo;Laika, I want to talk to you about something,&rdquo; he said.<br />\t&ldquo;Dad, Lin and me didn&rsquo;t do anything together last night,&rdquo; she replied.<br />\t&ldquo;I know that Laika. Come here,&rdquo; he said and held out his paw. She took walked over and stood in front of him. He lifted her up and sat her on his lap, cradling her in his arms.<br />\t&ldquo;Laika, jeez, you&rsquo;ve grown up so much. Listen, you&rsquo;ve already had your first heat cycle. Which means that you can get pregnant quiet easily now. In or out of heat. Much more so while in heat,&rdquo; he said.<br />\t&ldquo;I know this already,&rdquo; she replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Laika, stop. I want to make sure that you know and that you don&rsquo;t forget it. I don&rsquo;t want you to end up like your mom and me or Luna. I was hoping that Luna would heed our warnings, but she didn&rsquo;t. It only takes a single sperm, one moment of ecstasy during that time of fun and enjoyment. Just one time having unprotected sex and you could end up pregnant. I don&rsquo;t want you to lose your cubhood because of a single moment. Not even for a few seconds of bliss and happiness,&rdquo; he said.<br />\t&ldquo;I know and I&rsquo;m done having sex. Onai was nice and sex was fun, but I want to find the right fur for me. I don&rsquo;t want to have sex just for fun because I don&rsquo;t want to get pregnant like that. I want to get pregnant by the fur that I truly love,&rdquo; she replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Laika, we don&rsquo;t care if you have sex, it&rsquo;s in our genes to have sex during our, well females, during their heat cycles. Your mom bought you a pack of birth control pills. You take them daily, after you wake up. I know you said you don&rsquo;t want to have sex anymore, but it really only takes that one special person to throw that thought out. I just want you to have a cubhood and to have all the fun you can before becoming a mother. Okay?&rdquo; He said.<br />\t&ldquo;Okay daddy. I&rsquo;ll take the pills,&rdquo; she replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Thank you baby,&rdquo; he replied then kissed her muzzle. &ldquo;Now then, tell me what you thought when you woke up next to Lin? I&rsquo;m just curious. Your mom says your expression was priceless,&rdquo; he asked.<br />\t&ldquo;I, uh, yeah. I was scared to think what mom was going to do. I felt my heart skip a beat when Lin spoke up. But mom didn&rsquo;t really say anything about it though. Just said something about clothes, I think,&rdquo; she explained.<br />\t&ldquo;I bet both of your faces were bright red,&rdquo; he said and chuckled.<br />\t&ldquo;Oh yeah, Lin&rsquo;s was as bright as a coke can,&rdquo; she replied.<br />\t&ldquo;He&rsquo;s still quite shy, but he&rsquo;s opened up so much since the first few months,&rdquo; Fang said.<br />\t&ldquo;Yeah he has. He seems to be getting more brave all the time,&rdquo; she replied.<br />\t&ldquo;He&rsquo;s going to make a fine furman one day,&rdquo; he said.<br />\t&ldquo;Cute too,&rdquo; Laika replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Cute huh?&rdquo; Fang asked and smile.<br />\t&ldquo;Not like that!&rdquo; She replied and pushed on his arm.<br />\t&ldquo;Okay sweetie. Just play it safe, okay? I love you,&rdquo; he said.<br />\t&ldquo;I will dad and love you too,&rdquo; she replied. She shook her head as he left her bedroom.<br />\t&ldquo;Sex with Lin huh? What are they thinking?&rdquo; She asked as her mind drifted off thinking about his body, his muscles, his red eyes, without realizing it. It wasn&rsquo;t long before her clean panties were soaked, her fingers pushing in and out of her pussy. She came to her senses as she almost had an orgasm causing her to gasp. She was laying on her side, her right leg bent and hindpaw on the bed. Her fingers continued until she bit down, clamping her muzzle shut, her mind focused on Lin&rsquo;s muscular arms and chest. &ldquo;L-Lin!&rdquo; She moaned out, her body shook as she hit her orgasm. She moaned as her fingers continued thrusting in and out of her sensitive pussy. After the minute long orgasm she fell flat onto her bed. Her right paw covering her crotch. Her fluid running out of her and soaking into her comforter on the bed. She stared at the ceiling, breathing hard, her heart racing super fast. She concentrated on her breathing, trying to slow it down and into its proper speed and rhythm.<br /><br />\tShe shook her head trying to get the thoughts out of her mind. &ldquo;What the fuck?! That was &hellip; nevermind, whatever!&rdquo; She thought to herself. She sighed, rolled off her bed and grabbed another clean pair of panties and headed back into the shower.<br /><br />***<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Hey mom, could you drop Lin and me off at the mall, please?&rdquo; Laika asked about an hour later.<br />\t&ldquo;Hmm, why the mall?&rdquo; Vapor asked.<br />\t&ldquo;Lin wants to get out of the house and I want to as well,&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;Hmm, I don&rsquo;t know Laika, it&rsquo;s an almost two hour drive, just to walk around for a couple of hours,&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;You said earlier today that you needed to do some work at the office anyway. Why not take Lin and me to the mall and pick us up later? It&rsquo;s only twelve-thirty in the afternoon right now,&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;Is there a reason why you both want to go to the mall?&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;Ah, yeah, Lin wants to look at some more clothing. He said that his clothes feels tight. I think he&rsquo;s grown a little taller since he moved in with us,&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;Yeah, he does seem to be a couple of inches taller. Okay Laika, I&rsquo;ll take you both there. I want you to keep you phone with you and on at all times though,&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;Thanks mom and I will,&rdquo;<br /><br />\tThree hours later, Lin and Laika stepped out of Vapor&rsquo;s car. She rolled the window down.<br />\t&ldquo;Call me if anything happens okay?&rdquo; Vapor said.<br />\t&ldquo;We will mom. Thank you,&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;Lin, do you need any money?&rdquo; Vapor asked.<br />\t&ldquo;No. I&rsquo;ll buy him what he needs,&rdquo; Laika replied and smiled.<br />\t&ldquo;You sure? I can give him my card. Do you have enough money?&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;I&rsquo;m sure. I have a few thousand dollars in my account,&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;How?&rdquo; <br />\t&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t spend my money like brother and sister does,&rdquo; she replied.<br />\t&ldquo;I&rsquo;m glad that you save your money sweetie. Okay then, if there&rsquo;s nothing else, I&rsquo;ll be off. You two behave and be careful okay?&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;We will mom,&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;Okay Vapor,&rdquo; Lin replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Bye, love you both,&rdquo; Vapor replied then watched the two head towards the doors then enter the large mall.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Where you want to go first?&rdquo; Laika asked.<br />\t&ldquo;No don&rsquo;t know,&rdquo; Lin replied, which caused Laika to giggle.<br />\t&ldquo;You don&rsquo;t know? How about clothing first?&rdquo; She replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Uh sure,&rdquo; he replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Come on,&rdquo; she said taking his paw on holding it. She interlocked her fingers with his. She smiled at him after he looked up from their paw-holding. They walked through the mall to Furmerican Eagle. They walked into the clothing shop and headed over to the furmen&rsquo;s pants section.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Here&rsquo;s the pants. What size are you?&rdquo; Laika asked.<br />\t&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t know,&rdquo; he replied shaking his head.<br />\t&ldquo;That&rsquo;s okay. Stay here, I&rsquo;ll be back,&rdquo; she said then headed away. A moment later she returned with an employee. They got Lin&rsquo;s measurements and thanked the employee.<br /><br />\tLaika pulled a pair of pants off the wall and unfolded them. They were medium wash jeans. She held them up and asked him what he thought of them. The front of the legs were slightly whitened from the &ldquo;wash,&rdquo; giving them a unique, rugged and worn, look against regular blue jeans. Lin, once again, shrugged and said he didn&rsquo;t know.<br />\t&ldquo;You don&rsquo;t do much clothes shopping do you?&rdquo; Laika asked.<br />\t&ldquo;Not really,&rdquo; he replied.<br />\t&ldquo;It&rsquo;s okay. Take them and go into that room and try them on. Come back out when they&rsquo;re on, okay?&rdquo; She said and smiled.<br /><br />\tA few minutes later Lin walked out of the dressing room wearing the pants. Laika smiled, &ldquo;they look great on you Lin,&rdquo; she said, causing him to blush.<br />\t&ldquo;Thanks,&rdquo; he replied then looked at himself in the mirror.<br />\t&ldquo;You like them?&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;Yeah, I think so. They, uh, um, what&rsquo;s the word?&rdquo; He asked and moved his paws back and forth, &ldquo;uh, like rubberband.&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;They stretch?&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;Ah, yes that,&rdquo; he replied and smiled.<br />\t&ldquo;Yeah, F.E. pants are cool like that. I love their pants for that reason. They don&rsquo;t ride up and don&rsquo;t feel uncomfortable when squatting or anything like that,&rdquo; she explained.<br />\t&ldquo;I do like these,&rdquo; he replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Good. You want to look at more color variations or do you like these?&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;I like these. The color is nice,&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;Okay good. Go back in and get back into your other pants. I&rsquo;ll get you a few more,&rdquo; she replied and gently pushed him into the dressing room stall. She walked back over to the shelf and pulled off the five remaining pairs.<br /><br />\tFor the next hour Laika took Lin around the store and they picked out shirts and shorts and a few other odds and ends. They picked out button up shirts both short sleeve and long sleeves in various colors, light blue, gray, navy, blue and pink. They also picked up five pairs of cargo shorts. The two of them walked up to the counter, Lin sat down the five pairs of cargo shorts while Laika grabbed the pile they had made throughout their time there.<br />\t&ldquo;Did you find everything you were looking for?&rdquo; The sales associate, a deer doe, asked.<br />\t&ldquo;I think so,&rdquo; both replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Good to hear,&rdquo; she replied with a smile then started ringing up the pile of clothing.<br />\t&ldquo;Your total is $1,330.59. Will that be cash or card?&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;Who carries around over a thousand in cash?&rdquo; Laika asked confused but also giggled.<br />\t&ldquo;Haha, well, you would be surprised at how common it actually is. Had a customer a couple of weeks back pay for more than $5,000 in cash,&rdquo; she said while Laika swiped her card.<br />\t&ldquo;Laika. This is a lot of money, right?&rdquo; Lin asked.<br />\t&ldquo;Hmm, it&rsquo;s up there yes. Why?&rdquo; She asked while signing her name.<br />\t&ldquo;Are you sure? I don&rsquo;t want to, um, what is it? You spend all money on me,&rdquo; he replied.<br />\t&ldquo;It&rsquo;s fine Lin, I promise. It&rsquo;s clothes and you need them, right?&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;Well, I guess, but that&rsquo;s a lot of money,&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t worry about it Lin. It&rsquo;s okay, really,&rdquo; she replied, smiling at him.<br />\t&ldquo;Thank you Laika,&rdquo; he replied.<br />\t&ldquo;No problem Lin,&rdquo; she replied and took one of the three bags.<br />\t&ldquo;You two have a great day and come back,&rdquo; the lady said.<br />\t&ldquo;Thank you and you too!&rdquo; Laika replied. She took hold of Lin&rsquo;s paw and lead him back into the main corridor.<br /><br />\tThe two walked around a little bit until Laika stopped at the from of Mordstrom, a very expensive shop that carried top of the line, often gaudy looking clothing, all very, very expensive items. Even baby clothes started at $75 for infants, a good majority of them cost well over $250 for a single outfit. Some of the adult clothing, pants, shirts and shorts often cost from $500 to almost $2000 for a single piece. She didn&rsquo;t want to look at any clothing though.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Let&rsquo;s head in here Lin. I want to look at one thing only. Don&rsquo;t look at the prices though,&rdquo; she said.<br />\t&ldquo;Why not look at prices?&rdquo; He asked as they walked inside.<br />\t&ldquo;Oh, you&rsquo;ll find out,&rdquo; she replied. They walked around until she found what she wanted. It didn&rsquo;t take long as her nose led her there. Cologne for furmen.<br />\t&ldquo;Lin, are you okay with smelling things and smelling nice?&rdquo; She asked.<br />\t&ldquo;Uh, I guess?&rdquo; He replied while his nose sniffled and wiggled from the heavy amount of fragrance in the air. They stepped up to the glass cabinet filled with hundreds of glass bottles of cologne. His nose was already burning from the mix of fragrances and he was sure it was only going to get worse.<br />\t&ldquo;Hello,&rdquo; Laika said to the lady behind the counter.<br />\t&ldquo;Hello there, madam and sir, how may I help you,&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;I&rsquo;m looking for a per- uh, cologne for my friend. Could you help us please?&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;I&rsquo;m sure I can help him find the perfect cologne,&rdquo; she replied with a smile.<br /><br />\tThe lady, a petite yet elegant Papillon, was wearing a necklace with 24 pearls on it, the pearls ranged from half inch round to about two inches round. She lifted up a box filled with tiny bottles, only about two inches tall about about half inch thick. She sat the box onto the glass display counter then looked up at Lin.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Let&rsquo;s see. Panda, young teenager, good muscle tone, great smile, beautiful red eyes. I&rsquo;m more than sure we have something that will fit you perfectly!&rdquo; She said then looked through the bottles. Lin looked over at Laika who smiled at him. His face burned from blushing, as well as being confused at what was going on. &ldquo;Add shy and quickly embarrassed to that list,&rdquo; Laika chuckled.<br /><br />\tFor the next fifteen minutes the sales associate gave Lin a spritz of cologne until he finally decided on a single one, but not really for the smell, even though he really did like how it smelled. He liked the bottle shape more.<br />\t&ldquo;I rike this one. Bottle reminds me of alchemy,&rdquo; he said.<br />\t&ldquo;That is a very good brand,&rdquo; the lady replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Do you want it?&rdquo; Laika asked.<br />\t&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t. I guess,&rdquo; he replied.<br />\t&ldquo;We&rsquo;ll take one bottle ma&rsquo;am,&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;Very well,&rdquo; she replied. She turned around to a shelf and pulled a single bottle off of it. She looked at it and allowed the two to look as well while she held it in her paws, cupping it as if it was a tiny baby.<br />\t&ldquo;Creed, Silver Mountain Water,&rdquo; Laika said, &ldquo;sounds really fancy.&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll walk it up to the front checkout for you if you&rsquo;re finished shopping with us,&rdquo; she replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Yes, we&rsquo;re done,&rdquo; Laika replied, &ldquo;this place is far too expensive for anything else,&rdquo; she added with a chuckle.<br /><br />\tAfter checking out Laika looked at the receipt and exhaled, $709.10 for that single 8.4 oz (250 ml) bottle of cologne.<br />\t&ldquo;Lin, I&rsquo;m sure I don&rsquo;t have to tell you this, but&hellip; hmm, just be careful with that bottle, okay? Try not to drop it or use it up too fast,&rdquo; She said with a smile.<br />\t&ldquo;I know,&rdquo; he replied and looked down at the bags in his paw.<br />\t&ldquo;You okay Lin?&rdquo; She asked.<br />\t&ldquo;I&hellip; Laika, why you buying me all this stuff?&rdquo; He asked.<br />\t&ldquo;Because you&rsquo;re a nice fur and it&rsquo;s nice to give things to friends. Plus, I want you to look and smell good and to be happy,&rdquo; she replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Oh, okay,&rdquo; he replied, blushing.<br />\t&ldquo;Come on, let&rsquo;s go walk around and look at other places. I need to get me some clothing too before we leave,&rdquo; she replied.<br /><br />\tAbout an hour passed while they visited four other stores, they were in another store when Lin&rsquo;s stomach grumbled.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Raika, uh, Laika, I&rsquo;m hungry. Can we get bite to eat?&rdquo; He asked while she looked at some clothing for her in The Cubs Place.<br />\t&ldquo;Ah yeah. Let me finish here and we&rsquo;ll get some food here. Okay?&rdquo; She replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Okay,&rdquo; he replied. He was staring down at the floor, being quite a bit embarrassed about being in the girls clothing section. There were dresses and panties and other girly things all around him. Laika handed over a couple of sealed packages to him, &ldquo;can you hold these please? I need to check if this dress fits me,&rdquo; she asked. He took the two packages of panties and nodded silently. They walked over to the dressing room stall and she walked in while Lin stood outside still staring down at the floor.<br /><br />\tA minute later he heard giggling coming from about fifteen feet away. He dared to look up. He saw three teenage girls giggling and two of them were looking over at him. One of them waved at him, a vixen. He gave a small smile then looked back down at the floor. He was laser focused on the floor when a pair of furry paws broke his vision, they had no shoes on. He looked up to the sight of the young teenage vixen, a fox.<br />\t&ldquo;Uh, h-hello,&rdquo; the fox girl said quietly.<br />\t&ldquo;Uh, h-hello,&rdquo; Lin replied.<br />\t&ldquo;Uh&hellip;&rdquo; she said, stopped and looked back at her friends who urged her by pushing their paws towards her and telling her &ldquo;go on and ask!&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;I, I. I&rsquo;m Nixie, uh, &hellip;&rdquo; she replied, red faced and highly embarrassed.<br />\t&ldquo;I&rsquo;m Lin,&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;Uh, um, do you have a gir-&rdquo; she stopped talking when the dressing room stall opened and Laika walked out, &ldquo;Lin, what do you think of this?&rdquo; She asked without looking up yet, she was readjusting the dress from being twisted a bit on her body. Nixie and Lin both stood there about three feet apart speechless until Nixie spoke up. &ldquo;Oh. Uh, you have a girlfriend already,&rdquo; she said sadly then apologized and rushed off.<br />\t&ldquo;Girlfriend?&rdquo; Laika asked, &ldquo;But, I&rsquo;m not his &hellip;,&rdquo; she said loud enough for the girl to hear, but it was too late as she rushed out of the store, heavily embarrassed and a bit heart broken. Her two friends looked over and gave Lin and Laika a friendly smile and wave before running after their friend.<br />\t&ldquo;What does she mean?&rdquo; Lin asked.<br />\t&ldquo;She thought we were dating, like a couple,&rdquo; she explained.<br />\t&ldquo;You mean like Fang and Vapor?&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;Well, kind of, just not married,&rdquo; she said and chuckled.<br />\t&ldquo;Oh. Okay?&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;She liked you Lin, probably wanted to ask you out on a date or something,&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;Oh. Ooooh, okay,&rdquo; he replied, then looked back at the store entrance.<br />\t&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t worry about it. Maybe you two will run into each other again while we&rsquo;re here,&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;Oh uh, sure,&rdquo; he replied then looked back at Laika.<br />\t&ldquo;Now then, how does this dress look on me?&rdquo; She asked.<br />\t&ldquo;Oh, okay I guess,&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;Just okay?&rdquo; She asked.<br />\t&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know this stuff Laika. I&rsquo;m sorry,&rdquo;<br />\t&ldquo;It&rsquo;s okay Lin. No worries. I think it&rsquo;s cute. I&rsquo;ll buy it then we can go and eat,&rdquo;<br /><br />\tAbout fifteen minutes later the two of them were sitting in the cafeteria eating Flying Dragon&rsquo;s Chinese. Lin stuck a piece of the Orange Chicken and plopped it into his mouth. It was tasty, just like he&rsquo;s had before. The two of them sat there quietly talking between each other, near the end they agreed to visit one more store, the MEGO store.<br /><br />\tAfter grabbing half a dozen MEGO sets, they paid and headed to the front. Vapor had been sitting outside while they ate. Laika let her mom know they were eating and had one more store to visit and wouldn&rsquo;t take &ldquo;no&rdquo; for an answer.<br /><br />\tBefore leaving the mall Laika stopped Lin and faced him.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;I had a lot of fun today, Lin. Thanks for coming with me,&rdquo; she said, leaned up and kissed him, muzzle to muzzle, for just a second. She lowered down on her paws and smiled back, both of them blushing bright red.<br />\t&ldquo;I, luh&hellip; uhhhh&hellip;&rdquo; he trailed off as Laika&rsquo;s phone started ringing.<br />\t&ldquo;We&rsquo;re coming out now mom. Where you parked at?&rdquo; She asked. After getting her answer, she smiled at Lin.<br />\t&ldquo;Ready to go home?&rdquo; Laika asked.<br /><br />\tHe nodded in silence then walked beside Laika, who stood quite a bit shorter than him.<br /><br />***<br /><br />Tuesday May 15, 2029<br /><br />\tLin&rsquo;s first school year in America had ended. He didn&rsquo;t get into any more fights and had gained new respect from quite a few students, some out of fear of his martial arts, others just in awe of him beating up a snobby bully jock. He gained a lot of friends as well, including Bruno. He enjoyed his first American school year and his host family. He wondered what new things he would learn during his first true summer break. He was still sad that he failed English and Writing and would have to repeat the twelfth grade, but he started to kind of look forward to it.<br /><br />Tuesday May 15, 2029</span>",
