The sunlight coming through the window felt different this morning when Dannica turned her head into it. She lay on her side, curled up nicely under the covers, and she savored the warmth as she always did. There was something about the way that it felt on her face that made her so very happy to be alive.

But there was something different today. Along her front, there was the feeling of the sunlight, but along her back, there was the feeling of Hope's body snuggled up to hers, her friend's breasts pressing firmly against her back with Hope's arm draped over her side. She could feel Hope's body perfectly conforming to hers as she lay there, and she smiled.

It had been a few weeks since she started back at school, almost exactly four since the incident in the cafeteria. She'd stayed home for a couple days following to get her head straight and Hope had stayed with her, helping her with her life, getting things organized and set the way that her father had always done them. She could hear the approval in Duke's voice when she heard him speaking to and about her. She'd really impressed the man.

The day before was Friday, and the two tigers had stayed together all day long and Hope had just decided that she didn't want to go home that night, and that she'd rather spend it with Dannica, so that's what she did. Duke didn't seem to mind the fact that the girls were spending so much time together, and Dannica didn't want to push the issue by bringing it up. If her father had a problem with something, she knew that he wasn't shy enough to skirt the issue. She'd be hearing about it.

The night before was the first time that she'd slept in a bed with someone else, and though it had felt strange at first, she'd quickly gotten used to it, and waking up with someone curled around her was close to the best feeling that she'd ever had. With a quiet smile, she arched her back against her friend and snuggled a little closer, pulling Hope's arm a little more around her side.

"Good morning," Hope said in a sleepy voice that sounded right next to Dannica's ear.

She felt Hope's lips kissing her lightly along the back of her neck and then right behind her ear. She giggled and turned her head a little to talk over her shoulder. When she did, Hope took the opportunity to steal a little kiss against the side of her muzzle.

"Good morning, yourself," Dannica said, laughing. "You're starting a little early today."

Hope giggled and kissed against the side of Dannica's muzzle once again before she nuzzled her face into Dannica's long white curls.

"No, can't get distracted, Dani," she said, "I got your father to agree to take us to the mall today. We're going to find you some variety."

Dannica laughed, trying to imagine just what her friend had said to her father to get him to agree to go to the mall. Her father hated shopping and it was only by the barest necessity that he even managed to get to the commissary every week so that they had food. She rather thought that it was his love of cooking that finally got him to go and take care of the groceries.

Dannica didn't need to ask what time it was, since the sun on her face told her all she needed to know. She'd gotten used to the way that it felt at certain times of the day, and she woke at the same time every morning, even without an alarm. That might change later on in the year, but for now, it seemed to do her well. She slowly extricated herself from Hope's embrace, laughing softly at the mewls of protest that she heard coming from behind her. When she was finally sitting upright, she turned herself around on the bed, crossing her legs and reaching out with both hands for her friend's shoulder.

Finding it quickly, she gently massaged her fingers against Hope's fur.

"Come on, then, sleepy stripes. Da waits on no girl," she said with a laugh.

"You're no fun," Hope said as she started to throw the blankets back. "I mean, you're naked, I'm naked. We should at least have a little fun to wake up with, right?"

"Just smell," Dannica said.

She heard Hope's indrawn breath and then the lusty sigh when she smelled the same thing that Dannica did.

"Bacon...eggs...toast...and you," Hope said, and Dannica heard the heat behind the words.

"You're impossible," Dannica said, sliding out of the bed. She couldn't keep the smile off her face when she didn't have to reach down for her crutches. Her legs were getting stronger, and she'd put them by the stairs for the extra stability. Here in her room, she didn't need them, and with Hope there to help her, she didn't need anything else at all.

"Who gets first shower?" Hope asked.

"First? You're supposed to be my helper, remember?" Dannica said as she started walking to the shower. "There's more than enough room for the both of us, come on."

"Ah, morning naughties on your mind too, then, Stripey Butt?"

"You bet," Dannica said, "and if you don't hurry up, I'm going to have them without you."

"You found the magic words," Hope said.

Dannica heard her moving on top of the sheets and then felt the small vibrations as her feet hit the floor. It was only a moment before she felt Hope's hand taking her elbow. Hope knew Dannica didn't need any help to the bathroom, but she was there anyway, just to lend the support and to make sure that she didn't fall. Dannica didn't complain because she loved it when Hope's hands touched her. Eventually she'd get to the point that the stabilization was completely unnecessary, but she'd still probably not say anything that would take her friend's hand away.

Smiling broadly, Dannica walked with Hope through the door to the bathroom and then set about getting the water going for the shower. The chair had been taken out and was against the wall at the far end of the tub where Dannica could use it to get dressed afterwards and the tub was quite big enough for the two teens. When the water was at the right temperature, she leaned on Hope's shoulder and climbed over the lip and into the shower, feeling the warm water cascade down her front, plastering her fur to her skin.

She felt the little movement in the tub that told her that Hope was in with her, and then the curtain was pulled shut. Almost immediately after, she felt Hope's body up against her back once again, like they were back in bed, but this wasn't the sleepy, just waking cuddle that they had going in the bed. This time, Hope's arms moved around her body and hugged her close while her hands slid up her front until she cupped both of Dannica's breasts from behind.

Dannica sighed in pleasure and leaned her head back, finding Hope's shoulder right there for her to lean on, and she pushed back against the other tiger, wiggling her hips until she worked her tail up between Hope's legs. The strong muscles at the top of her ass flexed her tail upwards against her friend and swayed it back and forth while Hope giggled in her ear.

"Naughty," Hope whispered.

"Mmm hmm," Dannica muttered, and kept right on doing it.

Hope's hands finally left Dannica's chest and Dannica stood upright, patting her hands down the side of the shower in search of the soap. She found it only when Hope put it in her hands, and the reason soon became clear when she felt Hope digging her fingers into the fur on her back, working the soap into the soft fur and against the skin.

"Maybe we need to learn massage," Dannica said with a happy chuff.

"I wouldn't complain about the practice," Hope answered.

Dannica rolled her back into the strokes, letting Hope run her hands through her fur, working the soap in. From the shoulders down to her tail, Hope didn't stop moving, and Dannica matched her movements on her front. Then she gasped when she felt Hope lifting her tail and sliding a finger in between her cheeks. It was just a brush of fingers up under her tail, but it was enough to start a shudder.

Hope just chuckled and then brought her hands around the front to wash them off. Then she ruffled them against the fur on Dannica's front, getting the soap out while Dannica pulled shower head down and directed the water. Then she handed the head back to Hope and her friend rinsed the soap off her back.

"Your turn," Dannica said as she turned around, working her way around behind Hope.

Dannica couldn't keep her hands from their explorations. Hope's body was becoming more and more familiar, and she loved the fact that she could find all the little landmarks without even trying. She knew a lot of her friend's special spots, the places that she could stroke or brush that would get her going, and this morning, she felt like finding them all, one right after the other.

By the time the soap had been rinsed from Hope's body, she was ready to jump right back in bed and drag Hope with her, and from the way that the other tiger was moving against her, she could tell that the feeling was mutual.

When she felt Hope hanging the showerhead back up and leaning over to turn off the water, she wrapped her arms around her and held her close.

"Not yet," she whispered.

Hope didn't say anything, just straightened back up and leaned herself back. Dannica took Hope's weight with the barest step back and slid her hands around and down from Hope's belly to between her legs, gently stroking the spot that she knew all too well from the explorations they'd been undertaking every chance they could get over the last few weeks.

Soft, wet fingers caressed soft and wet folds, spreading them gently to stroke in just the right rhythm with the perfect amount of pressure. She could tell that she had it right by the way that Hope was panting in her ear.

The panting only got louder as she got a little faster and a little harder with her fingers and after a few moments, she slid a hand up to Hope's belly as she felt the moment approaching. Her strong arms held tightly to her friend as the familiar whimpering cry sounded and she felt Hope shuddering against her.

By the time Hope finished, Dannica was starting to wonder if her legs were going to hold the both of them any longer. She could feel her knees starting to shake weakly beneath her. Hope must have felt it, too, for she stood back up as soon as she was able and turned to sweep Dannica into her arms. When Dannica felt Hope's arms safely around her, the next thing she felt was Hope slowly lowering her to the floor of the tub.

The way she did it put her squarely between Dannica's spread knees, and she leaned back against the back of the tub as she felt Hope's fingers sliding down between her lips and slowly inside. She groaned in pleasure, realizing that as sure and easy as she felt with her hands pleasuring Hope, her friend was just as sure and just as practiced. Two fingers twisted and curved inside her while Hope's thumb teased at her clit, working slowly at first and then faster as she felt Dannica's body respond.

Just as with Hope, it didn't take much time at all for Dannica to reach the familiar cliff, and she felt Hope lowering her body to press against her when the moment came, holding her safely in her arms as she moaned and shook.

When it was all over, it left the two of them soaking wet and laying in the bottom of the tub with the water still spraying over them, giggling quietly.

"Da's going to wonder why the water bill is so high this month," Dannica said when she finally stopped giggling.

She felt Hope lifting herself off of her and reaching back to turn off the water. Just like that, it was off, and there was just the two of them, still lying in the bottom of the tub. Hope spared time for another hug, pressing her muzzle up against the side of Dannica's.

"I love you, Hope," Dannica whispered, almost too scared to say it.

"And I you, Dani."

Dannica couldn't say how glad she was that her friend felt the same, she could only hold her a little tighter for a little longer.

"Now, let's get dressed. We've got a shopping appointment, and I never miss those," Hope said with a laugh.

---

"You girls have your phones?" Duke asked as they climbed out of the car.

"Yes, Da. And I remember how to use it, and if everything else fails, then I'm sure Hope can figure out how to use hers," Dannica replied. She heard her father laughing at the exasperated tone in her voice.

"All right, all right, I get it. You girls have fun and give me a call when you're ready to come back home. And be careful. And Hope," he added, "Don't let her boss you around. She's still too headstrong for her own good."

"I know, Mister Wallis," Hope said, giggling. "She's not going to get hurt on my watch. And she hasn't hit me with her crutch in a week now."

"Go on, get out of here," Duke said through the open window, laughing as Hope closed the door. "I'll see you later."

Dannica heard the car engine rev slightly and then the tires on the road as her father pulled away.

"I didn't think he'd really let us go shopping on our own," Dannica said with a smile, holding her hand out for Hope to take it.

When she felt Hope's hand close around hers, she started walking, just a step behind her friend, starting to get used to the feeling of Hope guiding her. There were subtle little clues in the way that Hope's hand moved in hers that told her which way she was going, and she was starting to recognize them and react, usually before Hope said anything. They'd been practicing around the house, and this was their first foray into the outside world to give it a try in real life.

"Three stairs," Hope said in her soft voice not too far from Dannica's ear.

Dannica took another step and felt her toes lightly making contact with the step that she'd been expecting. She ascended them easily, counting in her head, still marveling at how much strength she'd regained over the last few weeks. She'd been working tirelessly with the physical therapist and little by little she was starting to get even stronger. She was more than capable of making it through the mall, especially with all the opportunities to sit and rest.

"Good job!" Hope said when they to the door.

"I'm not a cripple, Hope," Dannica said dryly as she heard her friend open the door.

"I know, but your father told me how long it took to get you up on your feet, so I want to make sure that you feel encouraged and stuff."

Dannica laughed and whacked Hope on the shoulder. "Just take me in and let's get some color in my closet."

Hope laughed with her and duly led her friend along, giving her the subtle cues that they had worked out together after weeks of practice in the house. Dannica couldn't stop swiveling her head one way and another, catching all the little sounds that came from every different direction.

There was the sound of hundreds of pairs of feet walking along the tiled floors. Sneakers and high heels and flip flops could all be heard clapping against the floor while the air system made little currents through the building. Each little wave of air brought with it the scents of different people, perfumes, colognes, the smell of washed and unwashed bodies and fur.

Dannica could feel the cracks in the tiles through the thin soles of her sandals as she walked, and though the floor was perfectly level, she could still feel every crease and every crack.

As they walked down the aisles between the stores, every time that they passed a group of people, she could hear their quiet voices, and she couldn't help the way that she ducked her head, a reflex she'd learned in the first week back to school that kept her shades fully between her eyes and the person that she was passing.

"Relax," Hope said when she noticed. "No one's looking, Dani."

"I can't help it," Dannica whispered, pulling herself a little closer to Hope.

"Don't worry," Hope said. "No one here cares. You're not even a blip on their radar. They're all too busy shopping to worry about you."

Dannica felt Hope squeeze her hand and then the next words were even closer to her ear.

"Besides, I'd be more likely to think that they were looking at the pretty tigress I'm lucky enough to be holding hands with."

Dannica felt the heat climbing to her cheeks and she whacked Hope on the shoulder again, this time lighter than before.

The sound changed as they were walking, as did the texture of the floor beneath Dannica's feet, and all around her, she smelled the scents of clothing and perfume.

"Here we are!" Hope said excitedly, "My favorite store, Vixen's Underground."

Dannica let her senses wander the room a little, smelling the scents and hearing the quiet music over the speakers in the ceiling. It was different here than it was in the main part of the mall. She could barely hear the main mall music over the other things that were assaulting her ears, but in here, the store was quieter, and though the music was quiet enough to be in the background, she smiled when she heard the harder notes of one of Hope's favorite hard rock bands.

"Should I ask what kind of clothes they have here?" Dannica asked with a grin.

"You can, but you've already felt most of them," Hope said as she led Dannica down an aisle between the racks. Dannica heard her taking things off the racks as they went down. She stopped every now and again and from the way that the air moved around her, she could tell that Hope was holding up some piece of clothing in front of her and then either putting it back on the rack or doing something else with it.

"Okay, what do you like?" Hope asked when they got to the end of the aisle.

"Black and red, mostly," Dannica replied, remembering what she used to wear when she was back in Russia. "We didn't have a lot of choice where I grew up. It was whatever the government chose to fly into the stores most of the time."

"Oh God," Hope said with mock horror. "We have got so much to teach you."

"Can I help you girls?" a female voice asked from behind Dannica. When she turned around, she took a sniff and smelled the clean scent of rabbit fur right in front of her. There was a youth to the scent, but much more mature than the hares at her school. Dannica guessed that the rabbit girl was nineteen or twenty.

"Hi, Misty," Hope greeted the rabbit. "This is my girlfriend, Dannica."

Dannica held out a hand in front of her, and she heard Misty pause before she felt the larger hand wrap around hers. From the way that the rabbit gripped her paw, she could tell that she was a little off on her judgment of where she was standing.

"Hello, Dannica," Misty said as she shook her paw. "Hope's got you under her thumb for the day, huh?"

"Seems like," Dannica said with a laugh. "Apparently I'm hopeless at fashion."

"You're not Hope-less," Hope said. Dannica could hear the emphasis on the pun and she giggled. "You've got me."

"Don't let her get all high and mighty on you, Dannica," Misty said. "Just let me know if you need anything okay?"

Dannica heard Misty moving walking off and she leaned over towards where she knew Hope was standing.

"She has a pretty voice," she whispered.

"She's a pretty girl," Hope answered, taking Dannica's hand again. "Misty used to babysit me when I was growing up. She lived down the street and my mom and dad were friends with her parents, so I got to see a lot of her whenever my folks went out of town on business or just out for a date night."

Dannica giggled, following Hope's lead down the rest of the aisle away from the front of the store. After a quick stop and the sound of a door opening, Hope guided her into a doorway and Dannica heard the door closing behind them.

"Okay, Dannica," Hope said. Dannica could hear the exuberant smile in her voice as she heard the flump of fabric landing somewhere to her right. "I've got a pile of clothes and your dad gave me a bunch of money to get you some stuff that you'll really like, so first thing's first."

Dannica opened her mouth to say something, but shut it right away when she felt Hope's hands on her hips, pulling her shirt out from the waistband of her pants. The question that she was going to ask had been answered, and she grinned, lifting her arms up over her head. She thought about protesting, saying that she wasn't a child and she really could dress herself, but then she stopped and considered. This was more fun, after all.

She heard Hope tossing the shirt off to the side, and then she made quick work of her pants. Even Dannica was impressed at the speed with which her friend unbuckled her belt and undid her button and zipper.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you've had practice at getting girls out of their pants," Dannica said, grinning widely.

"And what makes you think you know better, miss stripey butt?" Hope asked.

"Are you leering at me?" Dannica asked right back with a quiet laugh.

"Well, yes. But I don't think anyone would blame me, given that I have a really pretty girl in her underwear standing right in front of me, and a mirror right behind her so I can see all of her at the same time."

Dannica just laughed. "You want me to get rid of the underwear, too?"

"No," Hope answered, "they don't like it when you try on the underwear. But," Dannica felt Hope's arms wrapping around her back before she finished the sentence, "I do have some bras that you should try on, so we'll get rid of this."

Dannica didn't even try to resist, and when she was honest with herself, she realized that she really didn't mind being mostly nude in front of Hope. There was something special about the other tiger that just made her feel at ease, something that she couldn't put her finger on.

As she felt the bra sliding from her chest and she moved her arms forward to let it slip off her body, she felt the fur of Hope's arms sliding across the side of her small breasts and then the brush of her fingers against nipples. Just a fleeting touch, but enough to elicit a small gasp of breath.

"You're going to get us in trouble," Dannica whispered.

"Trust me," Hope whispered right back. "Why do you think I brought you to this store? I told you that Misty up behind the counter used to babysit me, right?"

Dannica heard the tone in Hope's voice and it became a lot clearer. "You mean-" she started to ask.

"Yep, she's a lot more than just a pretty girl," Hope said. "Now, here. What do you think of these?"

Dannica felt something being pressed into her hands, and she gently grabbed it and held it in front of her, letting her fingers roam over the fabric. Little by little the shape of the bra that she was holding started to form in her mind. It wasn't the shape that held her attention, though, it was the soft and delicate lace that bordered the cotton. There was such a mixture of textures and feelings that she couldn't help feeling over it again.

"Well, don't just stand there molesting it," Hope giggled, "put it on!"

Dannica laughed and wrapped the stretchy fabric around her chest. She found the clasp easily and fastened it around her, then turned it around and slid her arms beneath the straps. After a little adjustment, she turned herself around with another quiet laugh. The textures that had felt so interesting to her fingers were something else entirely when they were wrapped around her body.

"What do you think?" Dannica asked when she'd finished spinning.

"I think those are your colors, stripey butt," Hope answered. "White with black accents. It almost matches your hair."

Dannica spun around again and let her hands wander over the fabric again, feeling how it clung to her chest and her body with the feeling of the lace against her fur. "I could get used to this."

"Good," Hope said, "because I have five of the same kind with different colors that you'll just love."

Dannica heard Hope rustling through the pile of clothing and then she felt arms wrapping around her again. The clasp was sprung and the bra slid right off again.

"Two more styles," Hope said, pressing the next one into Dannica's hand.

When they'd done with the bras, Dannica tried on a couple dozen shirts and a few pairs of shorts. She was starting to get tired, and with every change of clothes, she found herself sitting down on the bench in the fitting room for a little longer.

"Last one," Hope said, coaxing her up to standing again.

"Good, because I don't know how much more I can take," Dannica admitted with a shy smile.

"There's milkshakes in our future," Hope said, guiding her to where she'd been standing off and on for the last hour. "Right after this, okay?"

"All right," Dannica said, with a resigned sigh. As much as she was tired, she was still enjoying the time that she was spending with Hope, and she wanted to be able to look better than the plain girl she always was before, so she was more than willing to stick it out a little longer.

"Arms up," Hope said, and Dannica complied.

There was the feeling of soft and swishy fabric against her arms and her face and then she felt a skirt being drawn down her body and settled on her hips. From the way that the fabric fell on her thighs, she could tell that it ended high enough up that if she sat wrong at all, she'd be giving someone quite the show.

"This is the one you can wear for me," Hope said with a laugh.

"It's certainly short enough," Dannica said.

"Well, turn around and let me see."

Dannica giggled and turned herself around, tilting her hips a little to give a bit more definition to the fabric draping over her butt. She paused, facing the wall, and lifted her tail to give Hope a better view, both because she wanted her opinion on the skirt and because the thought of giving her friend a better view of a skirt so short was turning her on.

Just when she was about to turn back around, she felt Hope's hand on her shoulder, gently pushing her forward. Hope's other hand slid down her arm and lifted her hand to place it against the fitting room wall.

"What are you-" Dannica started to ask, but her question was answered quickly when Hope's hand dragged back down along her arm to her shoulder, then down her back and up under her skirt. The first hand on her shoulder stayed there with her fingers combing lightly through the fur.

Dannica chuffed and turned her head a little when she felt Hope's hand moving up and under the skirt, fingers stroking gently at her cotton-covered crotch, claws teasing just lightly at the slit hidden behind her panties. With the encouragement from her friend, she stepped back a step and spread her legs a little wider as she tilted her hips into Hope's touch.

"Just enjoy," Hope whispered into her ear.

The next thing Dannica felt was Hope's teeth grabbing the skin at the nape of her neck, closing gently around the scruff of her neck. Nothing in the world had felt as good as that bite and she moaned softly, pressing herself even harder towards Hope's hand between her legs. There were no words to tell her friend just what she was doing to her, but she could feel the fabric that separated Hope's hand from her sex dampening, and she knew that Hope could feel it, too. That one thought pushed her even further into arousal, and between the feeling of the heat of her cheeks and the little pinpricks of Hope's teeth against her scruff, it wasn't long before the fitting room was saturated with the scent of tiger arousal.

Ever so gently, still holding Dannica's scruff between her teeth, Hope used her fingers to slide Dannica's panties to the side. There was a moment of teasing before she slid one, and then another inside, curling them within. The hand on Dannica's shoulder wrapped around her belly and her hips, lifting the front of the skirt so she could slide it down the front of her panties. With the two fingers buried inside her, Dannica didn't notice the feeling of the other hand until it had parted her lips and two fingers delicately stroked against her clit.

Dannica lowered her head to the wall, feeling the cool surface there against her forehead, but the rest of her attention was taken up with her friend's touch. She could feel Hope's fingers gently starting to move inside her while the fingers at the front teased and danced against that most sensitive of flesh. For just a moment, Hope's teeth left her scruff and she heard her husky whisper.

"Let's give Misty something to be jealous about, hmm?"

Then the teeth were back, more firm than before, and the renewed grip was all it took to send Dannica almost screaming over the edge. She held in the loud cry at the last minute, and it came out a strained whimper as she fought to stay on her feet through the orgasm.

It didn't work the way that she'd planned, and she felt her legs give out beneath her. She'd been standing too long and working too hard during the day and try as she might, she couldn't keep her legs steady under her. But Hope was already expecting that, and as she felt herself falling, it was only a moment before she felt Hope's knee sliding between her legs to catch her. Then she felt Hope carefully sliding her fingers out of her and wrapping her arms around her as she lowered her to the floor where they sat, Hope still gently clasping Dannica's scruff in her teeth while Dannica sat and shivered with the afterglow, leaning panting up against her chest.

After a moment, Hope let go, and Dannica sagged back against her.

"I didn't know you liked being scruffed, Dani," she whispered.

"I didn't either. But you can do that any time you want."

Together they laughed, piled on the floor until Dannica could regain her feet, and while Dannica sat on the bench, trying her best to ignore the very damp crotch of her panties beneath the skirt that she was still wearing, Hope gathered up the rest of the clothing.

It took a few minutes before they were able to go and pay for her new wardrobe, and when they finally made it to the food court for the promised milkshakes, Dannica knew that someone was looking out for her when they sent her Hope. Regardless of the fact that the mall around her was still the stark black of everything else in her life, for the first time she felt halfway normal. She was just a girl out with her friend, and her blindness didn't matter in the slightest.

As they walked out the door towards Duke's car, Dannica slipped her arm around Hope's shoulders and pulled her close. "Thank you," she whispered. "My Hope."
