Chapter 50

Friday

Jon and Doc sat on the roof of Spec's apartment as Spec filled a chimney starter with charcoal. "You gonna light that fire anytime today bubba, or should we go get monorail sandwiches?" yelled Doc as he puffed on a cigarette. Spec responded by giving the brown bear the middle finger. Jon and Doc laughed as Spec returned to join them.

"Grill will be ready in a few minutes. You want to put that butt out and join me and Jon for a cigar?" Spec asked the bear as he handed his ferret friend a cut cigar. Doc waved him off and continued to puff on his cigarette.

"So your ex and your girlfriend are best friends and they aren't at your throat yet?" asked Doc as he sipped from a can of creature energy drink.

"Didn't you stop drinking sodas because of the sugar and your dental bills Doc?" asked Spec. Doc nodded as he finished the rest of his drink and burped. Jon looked at Spec, confused. The wolf shook his head as he light his cigar and passed the box of matches to Jon. The ferret lit his cigar and exhaled a large plume of smoke.

"And they both know your real name now?" asked Jon as he drank his water.

"Yep, and Cindy met my parents. I'm going to take Estelle soon."

"How about putting the meat on the grill soon." said Doc with a smirk.

"If you are in such a hurry to cook Doc, you can take over the grill."

"No, I'll just wait for my birthday cook out to do that."

Spec grumbled as he stood up to add more charcoal to the lite pile while puffing on his cigar.

Saturday

Cindy and Estelle walked down the street as Estelle kept muttering, "Books, books, books." Cindy smiled at her fox friend as she pet her on the head.

"Calm down star fox. We'll get to the book store soon but we are gonna get you fitted for your robe and collar first."

Estelle moaned as they contined to walk. Cindy put an arm around her friend to comfort her.

"Relax, I promise Zenia is nice and wont do anything you aren't comfortable with."

The two arrived at Stitches shortly as Zenia was helping a customer with a dry cleaning order. The wolf thanked her customer and turned to greet the skunk and fox.

"Hey Cindy, how you been?" Zenia asked as she leaned forward, against the counter.

"Hey Zenia, I've been well. This nervous fox here is my friend, Estelle."

Cindy gestured to Estelle who gave a nervous wave to Zenia.

"I brought her here today because she is going to get a wolf pack robe and collar."

"Oh?" responded Zenia, as she straightened herself up. "Does Spec know about this?" she asked as she looked Estelle over.

"She used to date Spec. She also knows about his secret."

"You mean the secret about his name?" Zenia asked as she reached for the measuring tape I her smock pocket.

"Yes ma'am, I know about Spencer's family name." said Estelle as her voice cracked a bit.

"Oh. Well why don't you come in the back and we'll get you set up." said Zenia. She paused when a though occurred to her. "Hey Cindy, are you going to be paying the usual way?"

"Well, I don't think Estelle is ready for that. Do you think you could just send the bill to Spencer Senior and I'll figure out a way to settle the bill with him?"

"Sure thing Cindy." said Zenia as they went to the back.

"Paying the 'usual' way?" asked Estelle as they walked. Cindy just smiled and nudged her friend forward as she said, "Don't worry about it star fox."

Sunday

Spencer stood outside as he admired the rose garden and puffed on a cigar. It was an overcast day and he could smell rain coming in the air. His attention was drawn to Thea as she called out to him.

"Junior is calling dear. He says he needs to talk to you about something."

Spencer took the phone from his wife as he kissed her with a "Thanks." He took the call outside as he didn't like to smoke inside unless it was raining. As she handed her husband the phone, he noticed she has a sly grin on her face.

"What are you smiling about Thea?"

"Ask your son." She said as she went back into the mansion. Spencer was confused as he greeted his Spec.

"Hello Junior, what can I do for you?"

"Hey dad. So, like I told mom, there has been another development in my life. You remember my ex girlfriend, Estelle?"

"That sweet fox girl? She was nice. Why do you bring her up?"

"Well... It turns out Estelle is best friends with Cindy."

Spencer blinked as he was at a lose for words. He lifted his cigar and took another long drag before speaking again.

"I'm going to assume there is more you need to tell me son."

"You want the long or short version?"

"I'll take something in between."

"Well... Estelle still loves me, I still love Cindy, both girls don't mind dating me at the same time, and it seems I'm dating both of them now. Also it seems the two of them had Zenia make a robe and collar for Estelle. It seems Cindy said to send you the bill and we would figure out how to pay it off later."

Spencer took another drag from his cigar as he processed everything he just heard.

"You know son... All things considered, you have an interesting social life."

"So it would seem. Do you want me to send you money for the robe?"

"No son, I'll cover this one. But I do want you to bring Estelle over to meet us."

"Okay dad. Just remember she is nervous when meeting new people."

"Please Junior..."

Spencer paused before making a comment. He looked behind him to see Thea staring at him with a scowl and crossed arms.

"I promise to be on my best behavior and make her feel welcome in our home."

"Mom's giving you the look, Isn't she?"

"Indeed."

Spec chuckled before saying, "I'll talk to you later dad. Tell mom I love her." before hanging up. Spencer turned to Thea and smiled at her.

"I take it Junior mentioned his latest social predicament to you?"

"Indeed he did. When he brings Estelle over you behave. She seems nice from what Junior and Luna have told us. It was always a shame we never got to meet her."

"I promise dear. I'm still going to ask if she wants to play Gambit though."

Thea sighed as she walked away and said, "You and that board game."

Monday

It late morning at Twilight Books. Spec was putting back books when Cindy approached him while holding out the store phone.

"Hey big boy, Kit's on the phone and she wants to talk to you. She asked if she is still on suspension."

Spec crinkled his brow as he took the phone.

"Hey Kit. What are you talking about, a suspension?"

"Didn't you put me on suspension for punching that rabbit farmer in the chest?"

Spec sighed as shook his head.

"Kit.. You aren't suspended. That rabbit guy wasn't mad. I just told you to take some time off. You can come back when ever you feel ready."

"Oh... Well I'm feeling a lot better now. Do you think I can come back to work today?"

Spec thought about it for a second. She sounded more confident as she spoke.

"Well, if you think you are up for it, you can come in today."

"Thanks Spec, I'll see you in a little bit with Angie."

Spec hung up the phone and went back to restocking books. Cindy walked up and asked, "So what was that about?"

"Kit said she is feeling better and wants to come back to work today. I told her she could."

"Do you think she is okay now?"

"She sounded better. We'll keep an eye on her for now and go from there."

** ** ** ** **

Later that day, Spec greeted Kit and Angie as the arrived for their shift. His mood quickly changed as he saw Angie wearing a super short skirt and a tank top that showed more side cleavage then she should.

"Angie, are you really not wearing a bra?"

"What? I'm covered up. Besides, it's getting warmer outside. Gotta keep the girls from getting sweaty." said Angie as she groped her own chest. Spec grumbled at her comment. Kit moaned as she put her stuff up.

"I told you Spec wouldn't approve of that outfit Angie."

"Please Kit. You may be Spec's play thing but he still secretly wants me."

"I'm still here Angie. Just make sure 'the girls' don't pop out by accident in front of customers or something, okay?" he said as he left the break room.

"Don't worry, I wont." she said as she waved the wolf off.

Tuesday

Luna walked into Spec's living room sipping a can of Ax cola. She saw Scotty rolling around a Granny Smith around in his palms with a unique expression of bliss on his face. She was confused further when she saw her brother making the same expression as he rubbed Scotty's tail against his body and face.

"What's up with the two of you?" She asked as she sat next to her skunk boyfriend.

"I like apples." said Scotty as he took a bite.

"I also like apples, but I don't have one. So instead I'm cuddling up with Scotty's tail."

"Don't you you have your own skunk girlfriend who's tail you can cuddle up with?" she asked as she pulled Scotty close to her.

"Cindy is spending time with Estelle tonight. Besides, I can't help it. You know how freaking soft Scotty's tail is." he said as he stroked the skunk's soft tail.

"It's the mink in my family. Makes for super soft fur. The only thing softer is possibly chinchilla fur." said Scotty as he had another bite of his apple.

"Not that I mind you two spending time here or anything, but why do you want to watch wrestling here instead of your place?" asked Spec as he sipped from his own can of Ax cola.

"Can't a girl just want to spend time with her two favorite guys and enjoy their company?"

"You were hoping I'd cook dinner or something, weren't you sis?"

"Maybe a little. But if you don't feel like cooking, we are okay with take out." said Luna as she played with Scotty's ears.

"Well, I'm up for take out. The question is where do we order from?" asked Spec as he rubbed Scotty's feet as the skunk now laid on his back across the couch.

"Take your time deciding, I'm good for now." said Scotty as he stretched out and moaned contently.

Wednesday

"You okay up here Jen?"

"I'm good Spec." said the panda as she gave a customer their change.

"Okay, let me know when you need a break."

She nodded as Spec went back to returning books that customers left at the check out counter. Jen looked up when she heard a familiar chuckle.

"Hey Alejandro. How have you been?"

the hyena grinned as he placed a few magazines on the counter.

"Hello Jen, I've been well. Haven't had to travel for business lately so I've had more time to spend with the family."

"Well that's good to hear. Will this be all for you today?" she asked as she scanned a few magazines covering the topics of craft projects for children, knitting and yarn products, fishing, and baking.

"Yes, for now. Going to spend some time with the kids building stuff and baking. Then the wife will take them fishing." he said with a grin. Jen blinked as she bagged up his purchase and handed it to him.

"Well, I hope you have a wonderful time with your family Alejandro."

"Thank you so much Jen. Lychee jelly snack?" he asked as he held up a clear, single serving, jelly snack with chunks of white fruit in it. Jen looked excited as she took it from him.

"Thank you, I love these things."

"Ah, here then. Have a few more." he said as he placed a few on the counter before leaving. Jen was so happy with her treats, she didn't question where he produced them from. Cindy saw the exchange as she walked up to Jen.

"I still don't know how he does that."

Jen handed her one of the jelly snacks as she opened one for her self.

"Just try one of those and you won't question it."

Cindy shrugged as she peeled back the top cover and licked the top to get a tastes. She went wide eyed as the sweet flavor coated her tongue.

"Holy crap, where can I get more of these?"

"I know, right?" said Jen as she opened another.

Thursday.

"So that's been my week Gwen. Eventful, to say the least." said Spec as he laid on his stomach while coloring a coloring book with colored pencils. Gwen laid next to him, doing the same thing, as she also made a note on her writing pad and enjoying a lollipop.

"I think your father was right when he said you have an interesting social life. But more importantly, are you happy with how things are going now?" asked the young blue skunk as she reached for a different color pencil.

"You know what, I am. It's been weird but it's also been liberating. Not to question your methods or anything, but why are we playing with coloring books?"

"It's insight into your inner thoughts and how you see things. You choice of colors when it comes to generic, non licensed characters are a reflection on how you feel. Which from your color pallet suggest you are of a lighthearted mood but still have a strong sense of order as you are not going outside the lines."

"Really? Speaking of colors, do you have anymore red lollipops? If not I guess I'll have a green one." said Spec as he looked through Gwen's lollipop jar.

"You can have this one if you'd like." she said as she pulled a red one out of her mouth. Spec looked at it with a conflicted look and a discouraged moan.

"I don't know about that Gwen..."

She rolled her eyes and placed the sucker into the wolf's mouth. She put her hand to the underside of his mouth and pushed it up to close it.

"You have no idea how much people would pay for something like that. You should consider your self lucky you got a loli lollipop." she said as she produced a brand new red one. Spec watched, confused as she unwrapped it and started to suck on it. He sighed as he went back to the page he was coloring.

"This might sound weird but have you ever met a hyena named Alejandro who at times produces random snacks for people?"

"I have actually. I met him at a conference once. He gave me chocolate chip cookies. Strange thing though, I have no clue where he got them from. He just lifted his hand up and they were there."

Spec listened to what she said and nodded as he licked the lollipop Gwen gave him.

"Yeah, that sounds about right."
