Jessica's face was scrunched in concentration, her focus on the back of her notebook, held in Francis' hands, as she thought back through her classes. Her mind ran through the various terms she had recently learned, trying to find the exact one she needed. "What is a Mesoscale Convective System?"

"That's correct." Francis smiled as Jessica pumped her arm in triumph. "That's almost all of them correct on the first shot. You really know your meteorology."

"Of course! It's one of my passions." Jessica declared, puffing her chest out proudly. "We do enough of these lunch study sessions and I'll be getting them all right every time. This was a great idea, by the way."

"I've been known to have those from time to time." Francis grinned, handing her notebook back. "It only makes sense, though. We both have classes that end around noon. It's the perfect time for lunch together. Just the two of us, enjoying a meal and going over our notes. It's really a win-win."

"Especially since we're in some of the same classes." She agreed, reviewing her notes as she munched on some fries. "I know it's important but that public speaking class is a real pain in the ass. I can't wait til that one's over."

"It's pretty essential if you're going to be speaking on live tv."

"Oh I can get up and talk in front of people all day. That's no problem. It's researching all these dumb topics I hate. It's so boring. I wish I could just do a report on historical weather patterns, or astronomy. Something interesting."

"You're so multifaceted." Francis praised, smiling at her fondly. "You are a real inspiration, Jessica. I'm glad I get to know you and work beside you."

"I'm just a nerd who knows what she wants." The vixen replied. "I'm no more or less special than anyone else."

"Nonsense. You're one of the most talented and beautiful women I know, if you don't mind me saying so."

"Um, thanks?" Jessica forced a smile, choosing to let those excessive compliments slide. Not even sure how to respond to that, the fox busied herself with the last of her cheese fries and her notes, letting a silence fall between them.

Francis seemed unphased by the silence, smiling at the vixen as she reviewed her notes. He took a moment to quietly admire her before giving a snap of his fingers. "Oh, I just remembered! I was looking into what it would take to get into the student news crew, and it seems to be as simple as just signing up. It would probably be a good opportunity for both of us."

"Student news?" Francis once again had her attention. "Does anyone even watch that?"

"Probably not, but it would be good experience. It would look good on a resume for sure, and we'll get practice being on camera without embarrassing ourselves on television, not that we ever would."

"You really think they'll put a couple of amateur sophomores on camera?" Jessica asked, grinning as though the answer should be obvious. "They probably save the camera time for the seniors, maybe a few juniors."

"All the more reason to sign up now." The goat replied, still wearing his ever confident grin. "We get in on the ground floor and spend the next couple years working our way to the top. By senior year we're guaranteed to be the show's co-anchors."

"It's not a bad idea, but I don't want to be an anchor. If we do this I'm going straight for forecasting. I wonder what kind of meteorological equipment the school has. Assuming they don't just copy the local news."

"You are just precious. But again, your drive is inspiring." Francis tipped his hat at her, chuckling softly. "Just leave the anchor position to me, and I'll leave the cutest forecaster on campus to you."

"Gee, thanks." There was a hint of sarcasm in her voice, but Jess let his comments slide again. "I suppose it's worth a shot. It would be nice to get some real world experience. Yeah, alright let's give it a shot. What's the worst that could happen?"

"We get stuck fetching coffee for the seniors all semester?"

"Oh no, such a horrible fate." Jessica feigned a wail of despair. "Honestly we'd probably be starting as gophers no matter what. It'll be worth it if it means getting a paw in the industry."

"Well, why don't we head over and sign up right now?"

"Now? Do we have time?" She grabbed her phone to check the time, only to become distracted by a text she'd missed. "What does that dork want now?"

"What dork? You mean that monkey friend of yours?"

"Yeah. Dammit, he finally returns my copies of "Black Butler" and I'm not even there to chew him out in person. I've been asking him to return them for weeks. I bet he waited til I was at class on purpose, just to avoid me."

"Well, at least he returned your... whatever."

""Black Butler". It's a manga."

"Right. Well he returned your comic without wasting your time. Speaking of, we should go sign up for the news crew while we still have time."

"I don't think I do, actually." Jess replied, already rising from her seat. "I should get back and get ready for my next class. And there's a dork who's butt kicking I need to plot. Wanna come?"

"I might as well." Francis flashed her a grin, already rising from his chair to join her. "I certainly have plenty of time for you."

They arrived at the dorm to find Jessica's books waiting for her on the table. Kari had already gotten to them, casually flipping through one of the volumes. Jess found it appropriate, as the chinchilla's black lace dress accurately matched the wardrobes in the story. "Catching up on some light reading?"

"The art on the cover caught my eye." Kari admitted. "I hadn't meant to actually read it, but the story is rather amusing."

"You're welcome to borrow it if you want, now that I have it back. I think you'd really like it. Victorian era, with lots of mysterious deals and sexy demon butlers. What's not to like?"

"The butler is quite the eye candy." Kari cooed, putting the book down. "Lucky thing I was here when your boyfriend dropped them off."

"Boyfriend!?" Francis interjected, finally hearing something worth his attention. "You never told me that monkey was your boyfriend!"

"Chip is not my boyfriend." Jessica assured them. "He's a very close friend, nothing more."

"Shame." Kari hummed with a grin. "He's really cute, and really... tall."

"And really not interested in dating." Jessica added. "I've known that dork for years and I've never seen him show any interest in dating anyone, including me. He's just not a relationship guy."

"Now that is a shame."

"Oh yeah, such a waste." Francis didn't even bother to hide the sarcasm in his voice. "Well, leaves more for the rest of us."

"What about sex?" Kari asked bluntly. "Is he okay with having a little fun under the covers?"

"Oh yeah, he's totally okay with that." Jessica replied with a roll of her eyes. "Just no dating or long term relationships."

"Sounds like my kind of friend." Kari grinned, eyeing Jessica curiously. "Is he any good?"

"How would she know that?" Francis was quick to interrupt. "You wouldn't know anything of the sort, right?"

"A lady never tells?" The young vixen flashed as innocent a smile as she could, but she knew the others weren't buying it.

"You actually slept with that... monkey?" The goat couldn't contain his shock. "But Jessica, he's so beneath you."

"I wouldn't mind him beneath me." Kari quipped. "It's where all good men belong."

"Guys, seriously, I don't exactly want to just talk about my sex life like this."

Ignoring the light blush gracing her cheeks, Jessica stepped closer to Kari, bending over to grab her books and getting within whisper range of the chinchilla. "I'll tell you later." They exchanged winks before Jess retreated to her room, Francis in tow.

"Please tell me you weren't serious." Francis said once they had some privacy. "You were just joking, right? You'd never actually sleep with that guy."

"Actually I've slept with Chip several times." Jess replied, starting to get annoyed with the questions. "But if you're asking about sex... yes, we did that once. What's the big deal, anyway? I'm not allowed to have sex?"

"No, it's just... surprising. Do you usually sleep with your friends?" This time his question was more hopeful than accusatory.

"No. Well, I guess it's happened a couple times now. Every time, now that I think about it."

Though she shrugged it off, focusing on getting her books ready for her next class, Francis found the information most interesting. Casually, he stepped closer to the vixen, pretending to take an interest in one of her posters.

"So, what did these friends do to earn the privilege of sleeping with you? Must have been something pretty special."

"I don't know." Jessica admitted with a sigh of annoyance. "Stuff just happens sometimes. Like I said, I don't really want to talk about the intimate details of my barely existent sex life."

"Sorry, I was just curious. I find it surprising that a beautiful young woman such as yourself has never properly dated anyone. It seems a shame really. But if that's your choice, then I commend you for it."

"Right." Jessica replied, not enjoying his compliments as much as he assumed she would. "Well, if I do start dating someone, I'll tell you all about it. For now, I have to get ready for me next class. I'll see you later?"

Francis thankfully took the hint, tipping his hat to her once more before departing. Jessica was glad for the breathing room, especially since she actually did have plenty of time before her next class. She simply didn't want to spend it talking to the goat about her dating experience. As nice as Francis could be, there were times where he simply got on her nerves. And lately, those moments were becoming more frequent than she cared for.

Melody smiled softly as she nestled her head on Jim's shoulder, quietly watching Jim play one of her games as they lay in her bed. It was a pleasant, relaxing way for them to spend a Saturday afternoon, especially after the hour long drive it took for her to get there. She could stay like that for quite a while, though honestly a roll beneath the sheets was what she really wanted. If only they had the privacy to truly enjoy it.

Her smile turned to a frown as she glared over at the young fox sitting nearby. The bothersome vixen seemed to be in her own world, listening to some music through her earbuds as she did god knows what on her computer. The girl was an irritation as far as Melody was concerned. An unwanted and unnecessarily attractive invasion of their private time that just would not go away.

Unexpectedly, Jessica removed her earbuds and rose from her chair. Melody watched as the fox started packing books into a bag, hoping the girl would actually be leaving, preferably for a few hours.

"Heading out?" Jim asked, not even glancing away from her game. "Going for food?"

"Yeah. Gonna meet the guys for dinner then get some studying done. See you later, Senpai."

"Catch ya later."

Melody waited quietly for the fox to leave, thankful they'd get some privacy but still generally irked. "What the hell does "senpai" mean?"

"It's just a Japanese word." Jim explained. "Senpai is like an upper classman, or something like that. She just calls me that because I'm older than her."

"If you say so." Melody snorted, getting up to take a closer look at the stuff Jessica had around her desk. "Look at all this anime crap. Posters, dolls, and I saw that body pillow up there. Is this girl one of those, what are they called... weebos?"

"Weeaboo? Yeah, Jess totally is, though she'd deny it." Jim said with a chuckle. "But who cares? There's some pretty good anime out there."

"I bet she's obsessive about it." The husky muttered. "Just goes on and on, never taking a hint to shut up. And she's got a fat butt, too."

"Dude, what is your problem?" Jim asked, finally looking away from her game. "Jess is chill, so calm your tits, alright."

"She's not terrible, I guess." Melody conceded. "I just don't like that she's here, sleeping right above you every night."

"I care more about who's sleeping beneath me." Jim said with a smirk. She put her controller down and stepped over to the husky. "She said she'd be gone for a while. Plenty of time for the two of us to really enjoy ourselves."

"I'd like that." Melody admitted. "But what if she comes back before we're done?"

"You think we'd take that long?"

"Maybe." She managed a smirk. "It has been a while, and I know how hungry you can get. Though I'm more worried she'll come back early for whatever reason."

"I've got something for that." Jim excitedly ran to her desk, rummaging through a drawer until she found what she was looking for. "I made this door tag for just this reason. Was thinking of doing commissions for 'em."

"A do not disturb sign?" She looked over the tag, which featured small caricatures of the two of them peeking out from under bed sheets. "It's cute. I could see people buying these."

"Hopefully. But for now..." With a grin she took the tag, hanging it from the outside doorknob before closing and locking the door. "Problem solved. If she gets back before we're done, she'll know to wait outside."

"You okay with making the weeb wait?"

"It'll only be an hour or so." Jim shrugged. "I'm pretty sure she won't mind so long as she gets to sleep in her own bed."

"So much for morning sex then." Melody lamented.

"I'm more interested in now sex."

The snow leopard suddenly pounced, pulling the husky in and kissing her deeply. Melody moaned as she returned the heated kiss, allowing herself to be pinned against a wall. She felt hands slip under her shirt, greedily teasing her lower nipples as a feline tongue forced it's way deep into her maw. They moaned together, Jim nibbling on Melody's lower lip before pulling back.

"Oh I've missed this side of you." The canine said with a grin. "I wish you would take out that dumb lip ring though."

"No time." Jim replied with a grin. "I'm hungry now."

Jim dropped to her knees, undoing her lover's pants on the way down. She licked her lips as she pulled down Melody's panties, exposing the plump, canine mound they concealed. She loved those juicy lips, and couldn't wait any longer, diving in and gently sinking her teeth into the supply flesh.

Melody gasped, her hands grasping her breasts as Jim began her feast. She felt those teeth drag over her sensitive vulva, teasing her nerves and sending her blood rushing. She instinctively bucked her hips back against those teeth, gently moaning her partner's name.

"Oh Jim, you're such a tease. C'mon girl, don't hold back. Eat me out like you fuckin' mean it."

Jim growled in reply, her eyes flashing before she dove in deeper. She pressed her rough tongue deep into Melody's passage, the woman shivering as that muscle snaked it's way inside her. The way that tongue wriggled around inside her was intense. Jim wasn't kidding when she said she was hungry; her ravenous feasting was already taking the strength out of Melody's knees.

"Oh fuck, Jaimie. That's the spot. God you're the best at this."

"It's cause you're so delicious. "Jim growled, licking her lips as she rubbed those plump mounds with her fingers. "I could eat you out for hours, babe."

"Good thing we, oh, put that sign up." Melody's eyelids fluttered as Jim dove back in, her rough tongue rolling around her sensitive flesh before pushing back inside her passage. She had to brace herself against the wall, lifting a leg over her lover's shoulder as she rode out the intensely pleasureable tongue lashing.

True to her word, Jim's appetite seemed insatiable. She ran her tongue over every inch of Melody's plump mound, lapping up her juices and lightly chewing on the tender flesh. Melody's hips were quivering from the endless pleasure, gasping with every breath as her body convulsed against her control. Jim did her best to hold her still, refusing to give up the banquet just yet.

"Oh fuck! Jim, I'm gonna... shit... I'm gonna cum!" She mewled, before throwing back her head with a howl. Her hips bucked against Jim's face, the feline clinging tightly to her lover as she vigorously thrust her tongue deep into Melody's pussy. She didn't relent until Melody was desperately begging her to stop, reluctantly pulling away from her drooling meal.

"Oh fuck..." Melody finally gave in, collapsing to the floor as her body continued to twitch. "That was fucking intense."

"And that was just the appetizer." Jim said with a hungry glint in her eyes. "Now it's time for the main course."

Before Melody could argue, Jim managed to scoop her up and carry her to the bed. The husky was unceremoniously dumped into the sheets, Jim managing to pull off the rest of her clothes in the process. Jim took a moment to look over her deliciously naked girlfriend, all of her nipples sticking out and demanding her attention. Eager to oblige, Jim ripped off her own clothes, before pouncing on her vulnerable lover. They locked lips, pressing their bodies together as their tongues wrestled and their hearts raced.

"Oh fuck baby, I've missed your touch." Melody moaned, reaching down to give the feline's ass a squeeze. "Your body feels so good. Fuck me now, and fuck me hard."

"I plan to." Jim growled, her fingers teasing the husky's many nips. "I'm gonna slam my dick so far up your pussy, babe."

"What dick?" Melody pushed her back to glance down between them. "You don't have a dick."

"Rub it in." Jim sighed. "Y'know, I was thinking we could get a strapon or a double ended toy, so I could really give it to you."

"We don't need some stupid toys." Melody insisted, pulling Jim back down and grinding against her. "You do an amazing job already."

"But a little extra fun couldn't hurt, right?"

"It could." The husky replied. "You know I'm small down there. We have enough trouble fitting in two fingers, nevermind an oversized dildo. And we don't need them anyway. Just fuck me now, babe, and make me fuckin' scream."

"Gladly." Unable to ignore that request, Jim thrust her hips against Melody. They both gasped as Mel's plump vulva slid against Jim's clit. That one touch was enough to set the snow leopard off, her hips thrusting intently as she growled into her lover's ear. She gripped her lover tightly, her rough tongue lapping at Mel's neck and making her whimper between her moans.

"Yes! That's it baby!" Melody gasped, squeezing her lover's ass as she rocked her hips, grinding against Jim's moistening folds with her own growing need. "Harder!"

Jim growled, burying her face in Melody's neck as she thrust harder. They could hear the moist flesh sliding over each other, the feeling driving them mad with lust and sending waves of pleasure through their bodies. Lost in her feral passion, Jim sank her teeth into Melody's shoulder, biting into the soft flesh as she dominated her partner.

"Yes! Yes! Ow! Not so hard!"

"But you just said harder." Jim teased, kissing at Melody's neck. "I thought you liked love bites."

"Not when you're trying to break the skin." Melody huffed. "Bad girl. Don't leave marks."

She unexpectedly spanked Jim's ass, giving it a firm squeeze while grinding against her. Jim growled in response, rocking her hips back before thrusting down against the husky. Melody's gasp of pleasure only drove the feline on. She gave in to her feral lust, grinding her moist pussy lips into Melody's with unrelenting fervor. Her growls were masked by the husky's howls of bliss, the women clinging tightly to each other as they quickly approached their limits.

Their voices soon cried out as they hit their climaxes, their bodies writhing on the bed as they came together. It took a few countless moments for them to come down from their high, the girl's little more than a mess of tangled limbs as they slowly caught their breath.

"Fuck, I needed that." Melody sighed as Jim rolled off to the side. "I can barely feel my legs. It's gonna be like this every day when we live together, isn't it?"

"Just a couple more years." Jim agreed. "Once I graduate we can find someplace to live and fuck all we want."

"We don't have to wait that long." Melody reasoned. "We could start looking now and find a place to live over the summer, and you could just drive to your classes next year."

"Maybe." Jim snuggled into her pillow, not sounding so sure. "An hour's a pretty long drive, and I don't want to deal with classes and a job."

"It's just a thought. We could find a place halfway between here and my school. We could make it work."

Jim simply hummed a noncommittal reply, and a comfortable silence fell between them. They simply laid in the bed, enjoying the afterglow and letting their own thoughts wander idly.

"When are you going to tell your parents about us?"

Jim groaned, not wanting to have this conversation, especially right after sex.

"Come on, babe." Melody persisted. "We've been dating for a while now, yet your parents still think we're just friends. My parents know we're dating."

"You don't have a raging homophobe in your family." Jim countered. "You've met my Nana; you've seen how openly bigoted she is."

"Yeah but she's just your grandmother." Melody countered. "Your parents are... well, they're... I mean, they're not homophobes at least."

"But Nana lives with us. If she finds out I'll never hear the end of it. She already says I'm not 'lady-like' enough. If I came out I'll be branded a hell bound sinner. I don't want to deal with that."

"You're just being non-confrontational again." Melody responded. "Just stand up for yourself, stay proud, and tell your family that you're gay and, well, proud of it. What's the worst that could happen?"

"You have no idea." Jim sighed, hugging her pillow and refusing to say anything more about it.

The silence returned, though it was a bit more awkward than before. She had been enjoying the moment, then Mel had to bring up her family and bring down the mood. She had been debating a second round, but now she was feeling hungry for something else.

"I want Taco Bell."

"You and that garbage." Melody smirked. "Sure, let's get some food. Wait; you have eaten today, right?"

"Do crackers count?" Jim asked with a shrug.

"Girl, you are gonna drive me nuts. Alright, let's get some food in you before you pass out."

Jim didn't argue, following Melody's lead in getting redressed. She was just thankful Mel was letting their conversation drop so easily. Now she was free to forget about it and enjoy her tacos with her girl in peace.

The campus news center wasn't quite as underwhelming as Jessica had expected. In fact she was rather impressed with the setup, especially for a station with barely any viewers. Still, the vixen was rather excited as she and Francis filled out the application forms to join the news team.

"This is going to be even easier than I thought." The toggenburg said with a confident grin. "Doesn't even look like we need prior experience. Luckily I was on the debate team in highschool, so I guess that makes me overqualified."

"Then I guess that makes me underqualified." Jessica joked, filling out the last bit of her form. "Doubt the astronomy club will help me get many jobs. Had some amazing nights though."

"You could never be underqualified for anything." Francis replied. "Your natural talent more than makes up for any lack of experience."

"Are you two all set?" A lithe snake asked before Jessica could reply, casually approaching with a friendly smile. "Once you're done we can sign you guys in officially and give you the tour."

"We're all set, K.C." Jessica eagerly hopped to her paws, handing over the forms. "I can't wait to see your meteorology department."

"I admit I am rather eager to see where all the magic happens." Francis added. "I'm interested to see your set in person."

"We'll see all that and more." The reptilian individual assured them. "Just follow me, and we'll see about getting you both set up in the right departments."

After handing the forms into an office, K.C. led the pair into the studio. Jessica was once again astounded by how professional their setup was. "This looks exactly like a real studio. How'd you get all this film equipment?"

"Most of it is second hand, honestly." K.C. explained. "When local television studios upgrade their equipment, they often sell off or donate the old equipment to schools and private groups. None of this stuff is top of the line, but it works and allows us to broadcast not only on campus but up to twenty miles away, depending on the weather."

"That sounds perfect for a teaching opportunity like this." Francis commented, eyeballing the anchor stage. "How long does it usually take to get into an anchor position around here?"

"That depends on availability. We have two anchors right now, David and Elise. David's going to be graduating this year, so there may be an open chair next year. If that's what you're interested in, we can have you shadow under David for a while, occasionally doing field correspondence reports. Oh, and here's David now."

"You called?" A handsome zebra turned around with a smile. "Are these a couple of new recruits?"

"Yes. This is Francis and Jessica, and they're eager to join the news team. Francis here is particularly interested in an anchor spot."

"Looking to fill my spot when I leave?" David chuckled, giving them both a firm handshake. "Don't worry, I'll teach you everything you need to know. First lesson: low-fat milk and two sugars. Don't forget it."

"David!" K.C. scolded the laughing zebra. "Don't listen to him. You won't be fetching coffee for anyone while you're here."

"Just ruin my fun, Kay. They're right, though. We're all just here to have fun and get in some practice for the real thing."

"Exactly. Now how about we continue the tour and I show you behind the scenes of our little show?"

They moved on to see how the program was filmed, getting to see the control room, various meeting areas, and meet a few more people who work on the show. It was all fascinating, but for Jess it all paled in comparison to their small meteorology department.

"Here we are, Jessica; our forecasting department. And this handsome fellow is our lead meteorologist, Harold."

Jessica gasped softly as a large yet kind looking elephant stood to greet them. His large hand enveloped the vixen's, though his grip was surprisingly gentle. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Charmed." Francis muttered, nudging Jessica when she didn't respond.

"Huh? Oh right, sorry. I've just never met a meteorologist before. Do you do your own forecasts or just copy a network? Do you have your own doppler radar? Have you ever gone storm chasing?"

"Oh I'm just a student, like yourself. I like your enthusiasm though." The pachyderm chuckled. "I'm glad to hear we have another weather nut coming on board. I could certainly use the extra hands around here. If you want to work here with me, that is."

"Oh I am so in." Jessica replied, eagerly looking at the nearby computers. "When can I start?"

"We have regularly scheduled meetings and broadcasts." K.C. informed them. "But if you two have the time now, you're more than welcome to look around and talk to the others. I'll be in the office filing your paperwork if you need me."

"Oh I think I have everything I need right here." Jessica grinned, eagerly sitting beside Harold. "Teach me everything you know."

"In good time." The man chuckled, patting her on the back. "There's a lot to go over, but plenty of time, so there's no need to rush."

"Are you going to be okay here without me?" Francis asked, only to be dismissed by the enthralled fox. With a huff he made his way back to the stage, where he found David reading over a script.

"Hey there, Francis was it? What do you think of our little studio?"

"Impressive. I'm looking forward to working here."

"Glad to hear it." The zebra said with a nod. He went back to his script for a moment, before throwing the goat a sidelong glance. "So, uh, that cute friend of yours... is she single?"

"No." Francis replied without hesitation. "She's unavailable."

"Damn. Well whoever she's seeing is a lucky guy."

"Yep." Francis agreed, a smile growing on his face. "I certainly am. Or at least, I soon will be."
