>be Fang
>at least that's what you call yourself now
>it's a name you made for yourself back when you pretended to be a pterodactyl on a roleplay forum
>and now you use it for your new non-binary persona
>couldn't ascend beyond humanhood, at least ascended beyond the patriarchal stereotypes of a gender
>either way, it's a new day at your school in Rock Bottom
>you were prepared for people to attack your new persona, but nobody actually cared
>in fact, the only exciting thing that happened this month was your classmate, Anon, falling off stairs
>some people say that he was pushed, others that he was just awkward and tripped himself
>either way the guy hit his head pretty hard
>but now he's back, and he's your science partner
>you never really knew the guy as he was always reserved and never talked to anyone, but you also weren't really looking forward to making new friends
>after all, Trish, Reed and the band is all you need
>but can't really argue with Farnsworth
>the guy turns out to be pretty competent, although awkward
>he also acts like he's never met you before, but it's probably because you've never really interacted
>"alright class, time's up"
>you show your project to Farnsworth. He seems to be pleased.
>trying to be friendly, you nudge the bald guy in his side with your arm
>"Good job, dweeb"
>he flinches way more than you'd expect from such a gentle nudge
>"Ow, don't do that. Your feathers dig really deep, you know?"
>My... what?
>You're interrupted by Farnsworth
>"Is everything alright?"
>"Sorry. It's just my first day here. I'm from Rock Bottom, we don't really have a lot of dinosaurs there, you may know that."
>What is he.. talking about?
>"Anon, are you.."
>Farnsworth looked at you. Then back at Anon with pitying eyes. He knows something you don't.

>"Ohh. Okay, Mr. Mous. You.. keep yourself safe then. If they give you any trouble, just tell me."
>that was unnecessary
>"It's okay, Mister Farnsworth. She was actually really nice to me so far."
>You're way too confused to even react to the fact that he used the wrong pronouns.
>Either way the class ends.
>This is lunchtime, and you sit with your bandmates at the cafeteria, discussing the upcoming band practice.
>Then you see a confused bald guy approaching.
>Well, he was being dragged by Naomi, chinese transfer student who somehow managed to get into the student council.
>"There she is, Anon! This is Reeeeed! Your frieeend, remeeember?"
>"Why are you talking to me like I'm braindead?! I don't know who Reed is! Stop it!"
>he looks over at the table
>"Oh hi, Fang"
>Reed definitely knows the guy. They weren't friends, but they did stay with Mr. Brutananadilewski after class to make some doohickeys you don't really understand.
>Looking at Reed, he seems kind of bummed out that Anon doesn't recognize him.
>"Oh, well, Fang.. You know her? I'll... I'll leave you here then!"
>She looks at you with hope. You throw a napking at her.
>"Them. He knows them."
>"Oh. Yeah, sorry. Anyway, bye!"
>Confused, Anon sits beside Trish, across from you. Trish is also confused but doesn't mind.
>Anon breaks the silence first
>"Are all parasaurases like that? Raptor Jesus she gave me a headache. She's so sacharine she could give a third world country diabetes."
>"A... Parasaurus?" Trish asked. Reed raised his eyebrow.
>"Yes, a parasaurs!"
>You could also hear him mumbling "And I thought triggers being dumb is just bait"
>Thankfully, Trish didn't seem to hear that.
>Over the course of the lunch Anon continued to talk about the dinosaurs in this school.
>Trish really looked like she wanted to say a lot of things about it, but Reed stopped her.
>You too wanted to just play along to it.
>After all, being called a pterodactyl wasn't so bad after all.

>A few weeks pass by
>The whole joke about being dinosaurs kind of went around the school and nobody really minded Anon doing it

>In fact, you even started calling him a skinnie on purpose
>Sure, you'll never actually be a pterodactyl, but being called one was pretty nice, even as a joke
>You've always thought that having scales and feathers, tails and nothing else in particular is more fun than just boring human skin
>And the dweeb was actually fun to be around, even if he was an asshole sometimes
>Trish was pretty mad about it, though. She really didn't like dinosaurs, and seeing you act like you're one around Anon really made her grind her teeth.
>On multiple occassions she tried to convince Anon to stop this little game and that calling her a Trigger is demoralizing
>He just responded "Triggers gonna hate" and moved on
>It didn't help that you kind of quickly fell out of the pronoun game
>And it didn't help that it seemed like you and Anon were becoming closer and closer together

>This is why you kind of ditched Trish and Reed and was currently sitting on the roof with Anon, eating some school pizza
>"So, Fang.."
>You were kind of just half in the moment, browsing Feather on your phone
>Swamp Babies are gonna be in town, and you need to make sure that everyone burns their tickets instead of going in there
>"Mmm?.."
>You were really bummed that the venue was sold to them.
>"Can you like, fly with your wings? I've never seen you do that"
>The venue should have been sold to your favorite dino band, Rex Against.
>"Totally."
>But no, the local governor said that there shall be no dino concerts in the Rock Bottom
>"But could you carry a person?"
>Like there's not enough skinnie bullshit already
>"Absolutely"
>Swamp Babies are skinnie supremacists, too.
>"And if I was falling, would you be able to catch me?"
>You gotta visit Volcaldera Bluffs at some point. Rex Against, Rawring Stones, Skreelet, they all play there.
>"Totally, totally."
>Overall it'd be so great to get familiar with the dinosaur culture more. Sucks that they don't really teach it here
>After reviewing your text you hit the reply button.
>Wait, Anon was just by your side, wasn't he?
>You look around
>He stands at the edge of a roof, looking at you, smiling
>"Anon, what the fuck are you doing?"
>"It's like a trust fall thing! But from 4 stories high!"
>What
>"Come on, you told me you could fly, right?"
>He's.. not joking?
>"Anon, I can't- I'm not-"
>Before you say anything, he answers
>"Come on, believe in yourself! You've got me!"
>You run towards him as you see him slowly tilting backwards
>"ANON, NO! PLEASE-"
>

>The human bodies fall pretty fast, don't they.
>But to her it felt like a lifetime.
