----- Quick Fortnite Festival Character Backgrounds Rufus: Raccoon, Bassist Wendell: Wolf, Lead Guitarist Fennix: Fox, Lead Singer Dire: Werewolf, Drummer They are in a start-up band and currently on-tour. The story itself will focus on Rufus and Wendell though. ----- Part 1: Gear Check Rufus finally had a chance to wind down after a long, eventful day of rehearsing and performing with his three bandmates at the Festival's new venue. The band decided to check in at a nearby hotel to get some well-earned rest for the night before their next performance. While checking in, they agreed to split up into two different rooms - each having two beds - so they each had their own bed to sleep in. Rufus would be sharing a room with Wendell for tonight, while Fennix and Dire would be sharing a separate nearby room. Before heading to their rooms, Rufus and Wendell decided to bring their bass and guitar with them - under Fennix's condition that they don't plug them to an amp again, like Rufus did last time and got them nearly kicked out of the last hotel. Rufus chuckled while thinking about that incident, but this time he complied and left his amp in the car. Rufus and Wendell finally started making their way to their rooms. Despite both of them carrying the same amount of luggage, Rufus was walking at a much slower pace while Wendell slowly left him behind. It took nearly several seconds for Wendell to finally notice Rufus lagging behind. "You okay there, buddy?" Wendell asked as he stopped and waited for Rufus to catch up to him. "Yeah um...just a bit tired. That's all." Rufus' reply was half-true. While he had spent nearly the entire afternoon and evening performing on stage, he at least stayed well-hydrated thanks to the unlimited complimentary drinks the venue provided. Also he was carrying much more than the luggage on his hands. It was a particular garment that Rufus had been wearing underneath his baggy pants throughout the day, something that now feels quite heavy thanks to all the drinks he had throughout the day. He had been keeping it a secret for a while even from his closest friends. "Yeah I know. It's been quite a day. Don't worry though, our room's not far from here." Wendell decided to slow his pace enough for Rufus to keep up while they both walk the rest of the way to their room. After a couple of minutes of walking, they finally reached their room. Wendell reached the door first, pulled his keycard out, then scanned it at the door's lock in a slightly urgent fashion. "Hey Rufus. Sorry but...mind if I hit the bathroom first? I've been really needing to pee for the past hour." Wendell asked, slowly shifting his legs while waiting for the door to read the card and unlock. "Sure. I can wait." Rufus replied. ("Good thing I don't have to worry about that," he thought to himself.) The door finally unlocked and Rufus watched Wendell hurriedly enter the room. Wendell quickly set his guitar and luggage aside before rushing into the bathroom near the entrance. Rufus slowly entered the room next and as he passed by the bathroom door, he immediately heard a muffled yet loud sound of a strong stream hitting the toilet followed by Wendell letting out an audible sigh of relief. Rufus quietly snickered at Wendell's predicament before continuing to make his way to one of the nearest beds in the room. He set his stuff aside, removed his jacket and shoes, then hopped on his bed lying on his back. About a minute later, Rufus finally heard Wendell flush the toilet and wash his hands. Wendell walked out of the bathroom exhaling another sigh of relief. "Ahhh. Man, those free drinks nearly destroyed my bladder." Wendell then pulled out his phone and checked it as if he got a message from someone. "Oh look. Fennix said there's a diner nearby that's still open. Dire's coming too. Wanna get something to eat before bed?" "Hmm...Nah, I'll pass. Just gonna lay here for a while," Rufus replied. "Okay that's fine. Get some rest then. Let me know if you want anything. See ya!" Wendell grabbed his keycard and walked out of the room. Rufus remained lying in his bed as he heard the front door shut followed by Wendell's footsteps slowly fading away. He waited for nearly a minute to confirm that the coast is clear. There was something he wanted to do in private in the bathroom later tonight, but with Wendell gone for maybe an hour or two, he saw the opportunity to indulge in his secret on his bed at this moment. Rufus slowly sat up and shifted his way towards the edge of his bed. He lifted his shirt, revealing the top of the plastic garment he was wearing underneath. The sides were a plaid green and blue while the front was white with little gray paw prints in the middle. He then completely removed his shirt and tossed it aside next to his other stuff. He decided to leave the bandana on his neck during his session. Next, he glanced at his pants and started to feel a rush as he was preparing to reveal what he was wearing underneath. At first, he pulled the waist of his pants forward, enough for him to see part of the completely-soaked padding on his diaper. He immediately noticed the wetness and yellow saturation had reached his waistline, indicating that the diaper was near it's limit after several wettings throughout the day. The little gray paw prints on the padding had almost completely faded out since they were used as wetness indicators. After a few seconds of contemplating, Rufus finally decided to take a huge risk with his private time. He stood up from his bed, grabbed both sides of his pants and started to slowly pull them down, revealing more of the soaked diaper he was wearing underneath. Due to the diaper's super-absorbent nature, the padding itself had sagged more than halfway to his knees. Thankfully his pants were baggy enough to keep the padding hidden from anyone nearby, even from his bandmates while they were performing. Once he pulled his pants below his knees and freed his tail from the tailhole, he let gravity drop his pants the rest of the way down before he picked them up and threw it next to his other clothes. For a moment, Rufus spotted a mirror nearby and checked himself out. He couldn't believe that just a few minutes ago, he was a hardened, rebellious bass player for a start-up band slowly growing in popularity. Now he sees a vulnerable raccoon who needs his diaper changed soon. But that's just his way of winding down. He can't bear to imagine the day someone finds out about his secret. Rufus sat down on the edge of his bed again, this time in a slouched position to avoid squeezing the padding too much. He wouldn't want it to leak and leave too much visible stains on the white mattress and bedsheets. He looked down at diaper again and started feeling another arousing rush. As a natural response to the rush, Rufus let one of his hands drift towards his crotch. With that same hand, he slowly pressed down and lightly squeezed the heavily soaked padding near his loins. Rufus continued this motion for a few more minutes and started to feel even more relaxed. As much as Rufus wanted to continue to be in this moment, he figured Wendell would be back soon, but not too soon hopefully. So he started thinking of a few ways to end off his session. ----- Part 2: Caught Rufus continued to sit on his bed and enjoy the arousing comfort of his soaked diaper by rubbing on it for several more minutes. He initially considered taking it further and going for the climax, but he figured he wouldn't have enough time to finish before Wendell returns. Even if he did have the time, he would be taking a huge risk of making a mess that would be difficult to clean up. Just a moment later, Rufus began to feel a different kind of tension building up in his lower abdomen. The last of the free drinks he had throughout the day had finally caught up to him. He already acknowledged that his diaper was near it's limit, so he couldn't risk emptying his bladder in it one last time without causing a massive leak. He decided to hold it in for now. Rufus decided it was time for a change. Luckily he had a few extra diapers hidden in his bag, and he planned on wearing one overnight. He stood up from his bed, reached for his bag, then retrieved one of the extra diapers. He started to make his way to the bathroom so he could clean himself up and change in private. As Rufus was only a few steps away from the bathroom door, he suddenly heard something and stopped in his track. It sounded like footsteps approaching the front door. He hoped it was just another hotel guest passing by, but that hope instantly vanished when the footsteps halted right next to the front door. No... It couldn't be Wendell. It's only been roughly ten minutes since he left. They couldn't have possibly walked to the diner, eaten, and came back that fast...unless. Before Rufus could take another step, he heard the door unlock. He panicked and froze in place. The door quickly swung open, giving Rufus absolutely no time to run to the bathroom or run back to his bed to cover himself back up, let alone even think of a way to hide his secret.. Rufus hopelessly watched as Wendell quickly entered the room and shut the door behind him. Wendell hadn't yet made eye contact with Rufus for the first second. During that second, Rufus vainly attempted to cover up the front of his diaper with both hands. He tried turning his hips around too, but unfortunately it was impossible to instantly hide the big bright green-and-blue padding. The least he could do was hide the clean diaper he had on his hand. "I'm back. Turns out that diner was cl-..." Wendell finally looked up and immediately saw Rufus stripped of almost everything but his neck bandana and diaper. "Oh!" He quickly let out a gasp and broke eye contact, looked away, and partially hid his face with one hand. "Sorry!...A-am I...interrupting something?" "God dammit, Wendell! You could've fucking knocked first!" Rufus angrily shouted at Wendell. "Whoa whoa whoa, chill! I'm so sorry. I didn't know-" Wendell made eye contact with Rufus again, except this time his eyes trailed downward to Rufus' soaked diaper. "...wait...is that...?" Rufus looked down in defeat and let a huge disappointed sigh. "Yes...it's a diaper." He continued staring at the ground, unwilling to move or even look at Wendell again. He even dropped both of his arms, finally revealing the other diaper he was holding. Both of them fell still and silent for the next several seconds. Wendell was gathering his thoughts about what he just witnessed while Rufus continued to hang his head in shame. Wendell finally broke the silence. "Look. I'm sorry. I-I-I can just step out for a few minutes...and forget this happened when I come back. Okay?" Wendell said as he slowly turned around and made his way to the front door. "No no no! Please stay. Just...just don't tell anyone, okay?" Rufus begged. He figured it would be hard for Wendell to forget what he just saw. He also didn't want to be left alone with his thoughts now that his secret was out. Wendell stopped, looked up at the top of the door, and noticed a latch lock used to keep anyone from coming in even with a keycard. He reached and activated the lock to ensure no one else would walk in on Rufus' secret. Rufus heard the lock, looked up, and let out another disappointed sigh. ("Fuck! Why didn't I notice that before!" he thought to himself. It's too late now.) Wendell turned back around and slowly approached Rufus. "Rufus...it's okay. We're friends here. I won't tell anyone about this. Wanna...sit down and talk?" He asked in a calming voice. Rufus started to feel the initial shock slowly fading away. He was relieved that the first person to discover his secret didn't immediately ridicule him like he feared at first. He finally turned back around and saw Wendell standing right in front of him. "Okay," Rufus softly replied then sat down at the edge of his bed while setting the clean diaper aside. Wendell sat down next to Rufus shortly after. Before they started talking, Wendell gently placed one of his hands near Rufus' shoulder and started gently brushing the fur on his back. As soon as Rufus got comfortable and gathered his thoughts, he started off the conversation. "Look. Sorry for snapping at you, but I didn't think you were coming back that soon." He started to feel the tension ease up even more as Wendell continued brushing the fur on his upper back. "Oh yeah..." Wendell let out a slight chuckle. "I was gonna say that the diner was closed after all. So we just ordered pizza instead. It'll be at least an hour before it gets here. So we have plenty of time." He then glanced at Rufus' diaper again. "Anyways...so, what's with this? Bladder problem...or...?" "No. I'm not sick or anything...it's just..." Rufus took a deep breath before trying to open up. "...It's just my way of cooling off, relaxing, and...relieving mys-...dammit! I mean relieving stress...i-i-it's not really easy to explain. Sorry." "Ahh...I see now." Wendell said, smirking as he figured what Rufus was implying. "So, you're not mad at me? Weirded out, disgusted, or anything? Be honest." Rufus looked at Wendell for some more reassurance. "No, not really," Wendell looked away and started blushing, "I actually kinda...envy you." He chuckled. "Huh? Wha-?" Rufus was dumbfounded. Out of all the initial reactions of seeing him in a diaper, he was least expecting envy. He wondered if Wendell was just saying that to act nice, or if there was something he doesn't know about Wendell yet. "Like...I actually thought I was gonna piss myself in the car or at the front door earlier. Meanwhile, you can just go whenever you want. And you're pretty good at hiding it too. Actually, now that I think of it, I haven't seen you gone to any of the restrooms all day. Not during our road trip, rehearsals, the festival, anywhere really. I've definitely seen Fennix and Dire, but never you for some reason..." Wendell glanced at Rufus's diaper again, noticing how soaked and saturated it was. "...And now I know why. Did you actually wear that all day?" "Yeah. I was gonna go clean up and change before...you know...you barged in here." Rufus pointed at Wendell, then Wendell chuckled. Rufus stared at his diaper again. Suddenly he felt another twinge in his lower abdomen which reminded him that he needed to relieve himself soon. "Anyways we can talk some more. I...really need to change out of this before the pizza gets here." Before Rufus could stand up, Wendell suddenly scooted and leaned closer to him. "Hey Rufus...before you go do that...can I, um...ask something?...This might sound crazy." Wendell started to blush and had trouble maintaining eye contact with Rufus. "Um...okay? What is it?" Rufus looked back as he heard the sound of Wendell's tail brushing the bed at a slow pace. He wondered what the question could be that's causing this wolf's tail to wag. "So...Feel free to say 'no' if you want. Um...okay...here it goes..." Wendell scooted even closer to Rufus, to the point where their hips nearly touched. "May I...help you change?" ----- Part 3: Snoof & Change "Um...what?!" Rufus wanted to make sure he heard Wendell's request correctly the first time. "Yeah I know, it sounds crazy..." Wendell immediately scooted away from Rufus and turned his head the other way out of embarrassment. "Sorry. I-I think that was a bit too soon. I was just...ah, forget it." "Well I didn't say 'no.' Did I?" Rufus said. He watched Wendell turn his head back towards his direction. "Just wanted you to repeat the question, that's all." "I, umm...I..." Wendell stammered while blushing harder and twiddling his fingers. He saw Rufus was still looking at him, waiting for the question. Then Wendell finally gained enough courage to ask again. "Okay...okay...Want me to change you?" "Hmmm...okay sure. But...just curious...why? You actually done this before?" Rufus asked. "Rufus, there's something I need to tell you. Truth is...yeah. I've actually done this plenty of times before. I was just surprised when I found out you were into this too. So how about you? Ever been changed by someone before?" "No. No one even knew I wore these until now." Rufus was surprised and relieved at the fact that the first person to catch him padded was secretly into it too. After giving it some thought, he decided to give Wendell a chance. "But...yeah I'll go ahead and let you change me then if you want." "Oooh, so it's your first time then? Don't worry. I'll go easy on you. Let me go grab something real quick. Be right back." Wendell gave Rufus a couple of pats on the shoulder before standing up from the bed. He quickly trotted his way into the bathroom, then came back out just a few seconds later with a towel in his hand. He returned to the bed and laid the towel behind Rufus and towards the south of the bed. Next, Wendell grabbed one of Rufus' pillows and placed it just north of the towel. "Aaaand...there. You can lie down now." Wendell gave the pillow a couple of pats before moving himself next to the south of the bed. He grabbed the folded clean diaper that Rufus placed aside earlier and eagerly inspected it before placing it back for now. "Okay," Rufus complied then lied himself down on his back. After several seconds of shifting and adjusting himself, he finally got himself in a comfortable position. His upper shoulders and head was right above the pillow Wendell placed for him. His hips and his heavily-drenched padding was right above the towel while his tail was comfortably tucked between his legs. The back of his knees were positioned right at the edge of the bed so he could properly bend the lower half of his legs down to rest his calves and feet. Shortly after, Wendell suddenly decided to remove and toss aside his gloves, jacket, and vest. He then positioned himself at the edge of the bed between the bottom half of Rufus' legs, and got on both of his knees. Thanks to the bed being low to the ground, the position of Wendell's stomach and Rufus' diaper were nearly at the same height, and Wendell could easily bend forward and reach the tapes to begin the changing process when he's ready. Both of them braced themselves for the upcoming moments. Rufus placed both of his hands on top of his chest. He lifted his head and watched as Wendell slowly leaned himself forward until his face and hands were close to the diaper. Then Rufus rested his head back on the pillow and stared at the ceiling in anticipation. Wendell started off by gently placing his hands on both of Rufus' upper thighs and slowly moved them upwards until his hands were gently running through edges of the diaper. His tail started to wag at a slow pace. "Nervous?" Wendell asked. He stopped moving his hands for a moment to check up on Rufus. "Just a little, but I'll manage." Rufus answered while still staring at the ceiling. "Good, good. Just remember, you can stop me any time." Wendell placed his thumbs on top of the wet padding just south of the landing zone. He gently rubbed his thumbs on the padding while feeling a bit of wetness before stopping and looking at Rufus. "Um...just one more thing before I take this off...may I, um...feel this for a few minutes?" "Feel what?" Rufus moved his head up from the pillow to look at Wendell. He noticed Wendell lowering his ears while staring at him with a pleading expression, all while he still had his hand rested on Rufus' diaper. "...ah, you know what? Go right ahead." Wendell didn't hesitate the moment he got the approval. He immediately placed both of his hands at the center of the soaked padding, then proceeded to rub and squish the wet diaper between his fingers. His tail wagged at a slightly faster pace. At first Rufus was nervous about someone else getting that close and personal to him, let alone touching his diaper. But given that he's known Wendell for several months and that Wendell was being gentle and caring at the moment, he started to trust him and relax some more. Just a few seconds later, he looked down again and noticed Wendell starting to move his head closer to his diaper. Suddenly, he noticed Wendell's nose rapidly twitching while emitting fast-paced sniffing noises. "Wendell? Are you...sniffing it?" Rufus asked out of curiosity. He would usually see Wendell sniff like that every time they were near a restaurant, a barbeque, or near any food in general. "Mm-hmm," Wendell hummed and quickly nodded his head before continuing to sniff. "You do know that I've worn this all day, right? And I've been pissing in it since the morning." Wendell halted his sniffing session and looked up at Rufus as if he just stated the obvious, then he smirked. "And?" "Oh, you nasty dog." Rufus snickered. "Ha. Look who's talking, ya stinky trash panda," Wendell playfully retorted, completely disregarding Rufus calling him a dog instead of a wolf (he actually enjoyed it). He then started to rub his nose on the wet padding while sniffing at a much faster pace. A few seconds later, he buried the entire front of his muzzle into the padding, then his tail was wagging at a much faster pace. Rufus laid his head back on the pillow to relax while he continued to feel Wendell's muzzle and hands rub the drenched padding on his crotch. He couldn't help but feel the tension in his loins rise every time he felt Wendell's nose near his member. But suddenly, Rufus started to feel another kind of tension building up even more in his lower abdomen, once again reminding him that his bladder has been nearly full since they arrived at the hotel. Despite that, Rufus still wanted to hold it in and wait until Wendell finally changes him...if he ever does. Wendell had his muzzle firmly pressed down on Rufus' diaper for the next few minutes. Then he finally lifted his head, took a deep breath, and made eye contact with Rufus again, while also revealing some light golden stains on the white fur at the end of his muzzle. "Damn Wendell! How'd you not pass out from that?" Rufus asked. "Like I said, I've done this plenty of times. Well, one time I nearly passed out doing this to a fox guy before...but anyways..." Wendell chuckled then started moving his hands above Rufus' waist where the tapes are. Rufus initially thought Wendell was finally going to unfasten the tapes and change him into a new diaper. Even though he was enjoying the session so far, part of him wanted this to be done as soon as possible because he was slowly starting to become desperate to drain his bladder. Suddenly, Wendell moved his hands above the tapes and started to rub Rufus' belly instead. As much as Rufus would love to enjoy the belly rubs he was receiving, Wendell was unknowingly putting a lot of extra pressure on his near-full bladder. Rufus suddenly felt a strong pang in his bladder, shuddered, then clenched his hips and legs as much as he could to avoid wetting himself. "What's wrong? Did that hurt?" Wendell asked while temporarily relinquishing his hold on Rufus. "No no. It's just...I just really gotta piss...and you nearly squeezed it out of me." Rufus replied. "Well go pee then," Wendell said in a slightly commanding manner while he still had his arms rested on the sides of Rufus' legs. "Right here? Now?" Rufus nervously asked. "Well, yeah. Why hold it when you're literally wearing a bathroom? Unless you're pee-shy." "It's not that. It's just, I don't think this diaper can hold any more." "It'll be fine. It didn't look that wet from the back. And there's towel under you just in case." "You sure? Like I said: I 'really' gotta piss...a lot." As Rufus said that, he felt his bladder push to empty it's contents, yet he still resisted. "Okay, how about this? If it leaks and somehow gets on the bed, I'll sleep on this one and you can have my bed for tonight. Deal?" "Hmmm...I don't know..." "And if housekeeping or anyone asks who wet the bed, I'll take the blame." "Okay, okay fine I'll do it. Just...give me a minute." Rufus finally decided to give in and put his diaper through one final test, mostly because his bladder was close to giving in as well. Thankfully Wendell was willing to accept full responsibility for any leaks and damages. "Good boy," Wendell softly replied. He then proceeded to rest his chin on top of Rufus' diaper as if it was a pillow. Rufus rested his head and stared at the ceiling once again. He tried to relax and empty his bladder at first, but unfortunately Wendell was right about him being pee-shy. He was nervous about having someone watch him relieve himself, especially when that someone has his head resting on top of his crotch. Wendell took notice of Rufus' hesitation started rubbing his belly again. This time he was a lot more gentle and just brushing the light-brown fur on his stomach, hoping to give Rufus the reassurance and encouragement he needed. Rufus started to feel his lower half relax even more. He then felt his full bladder send one last strong signal before the floodgates finally opened and sweet relief ensued. He immediately felt the warm fluids spreading on his crotch and quickly travelling down to his rump, soon to find any remaining places to be absorbed by the padding. Meanwhile, Wendell sank his chin even deeper into the padding as he felt that area warming up and slowly expanding even more. Nearly thirty seconds passed and Wendell finally felt Rufus' stream starting to slow down. He then lifted this chin from the diaper and went back to poking his nose into the padding again. But just a few seconds later, Wendell impulsively drifted his nose to the right side of the diaper, aiming for the leak guards. "Whoa W-Wendell, what're you...?" Rufus lifted his head back up as he felt Wendell's muzzle dig between his leg and diaper. Then he suddenly felt some his warm, fresh urine spill out from the side and landing on the towel underneath him. "Uh oh," Wendell said as he suddenly withdrew his muzzle from the diaper at the moment he noticed the leak. He looked at Rufus again, this time revealing some visibly damp golden stains on his mouth. "Wow," Rufus said sarcastically then chuckled. "You're really getting off to this, aren't you? And you couldn't have waited until it dried up a little? Guess you're sleeping on this bed tonight." "Yeah I guess so...Oops." Wendell playfully shrugged his shoulders and snickered. He then placed his hands back on the diaper's tapes to resume his original task of changing Rufus. "Alright. Let's go ahead and wrap this up before the pizza gets here...or before Fennix or Dire catches us like this." "Oh, right. Almost forgot." Rufus realized he nearly lost track of time; What was supposed to be a quick diaper change had escalated into a nearly-long, passionate session. But unfortunately that session would had to be cut short. He could now only think of how far Wendell would've taken this if they both had more time. Wendell finally peeled off the four tapes from the landing zone until the diaper was finally free from Rufus' waist. Then he gently pulled the heavily-drenched padding downward until it was also free from Rufus' tail. Afterward, Wendell somehow managed to roll up and tape the extremely-wet diaper shut. Wendell finally stood up from his knees. Shortly after, Rufus sat up on the edge of his bed while keeping the slightly damp towel under his wet pelvis. He took a closer look at the diaper Wendell was holding and was amazed how it was nearly the size of the pillow he was resting his head on earlier. "Woah that's pretty heavy! Good thing you stayed hydrated." Wendell said as they both inspected the wet diaper. "Okay, before I put this new diaper on you, let's wash up first." Rufus slightly nodded his head in agreement before preparing to stand up and head for the bathroom. For the next several minutes, they both took turns cleaning themselves up in the bathroom shower. Rufus had thoroughly washed his pelvic area where the padding used to be, and Wendell managed to completely remove the golden stains from his muzzle. They also managed to discreetly dispose of the used diaper by wrapping it up in a non-transparent plastic bags. After getting cleaned, both of them resumed the changing process by getting back on the bed in the same positions as before, this time with a fresh clean towel under Rufus. Wendell finally grabbed the clean diaper he set aside earlier and unfolded it. He then grabbed the end of Rufus' tail and started running his tail through the hole in the back of the diaper. Once the back of the diaper made it to Rufus' waistline, Wendell lifted the front of the diaper to Rufus' waist until it was aligned the same way the last diaper used to be. Wendell finally fastened the four tapes on the landing zone, making the diaper fit snugly around Rufus' waist for now. "Aaaand...done!" Wendell said then gave the front of the diaper a few pats before standing back up. He leaned himself back on the wall behind him while looking at Rufus' direction. Rufus sat back up and looked at the new diaper Wendell put on him. It still felt snug around his waist and the tape position looked and felt much better than it normally would when Rufus would put the diaper on himself. He figured Wendell was being honest about his diaper-changing experience after all. "So...how was it?" Wendell asked. Rufus took a few seconds to process the emotions that ran through him during his first change. "It felt...great actually. Thanks, Wendell." Rufus blushed and twiddled his fingers for a few more seconds "Wanna do this again when we get home?" He asked. Tomorrow, they would have to perform at the Festival for one more day before they could finally go home and rest for a few weeks. "Hmm...sure. And I also have a few...toys and stuff back home to make things more interesting." Wendell chuckled. Rufus blushed even harder, now anticipating how the next night will go. Then he suddenly thought of what Wendell mentioned to him earlier during the change. "So Wendell. You said you've done this before...and I heard you mention a fox. If you don't mind me asking...who was it?" "Hmmm...why you ask? Is there a certain...fox you know?" "Just Fennix. But..." Rufus paused as he caught Wendell grinning the moment Fennix was mentioned. "Wendell, why're you looking at me like that? No fucking way. Is it...is it actually him!?" "Rufus. All I can say...our band's gonna get along just fine. But for now, your secret's safe with me until you're ready to tell the others. Maybe we can all...do something like this together one day. Dire though, he's not really into the diaper stuff himself, but he's cool with us." "Woah." that was all Rufus could say at the moment. First Wendell, now Fennix. After tonight, Rufus no longer felt ashamed of his padded secret; he wasn't alone after all, and was glad he found a group of friends who not only tolerated his secret, but embraced it as well. "I'll think about it."
