I have had it with acting like someone I'm not. \u0026nbsp;Don't you want to show everyone who you really are, and how great we dance?\n\nAaron\n\nIt seems reckless, that's all. \u0026nbsp;I am proud of who and what I am, but that doesn't mean I want to show everyone around me. \u0026nbsp;\n\nDave\n\nCome on, please? \u0026nbsp;How about this, we won't take off our head masks unless you want to. \u0026nbsp;Ok?\u0026nbsp;\n\nAaron\n\nI suppose so. \u0026nbsp;Well then, let's go in.\n\n(They put on their heads and walk in to the pavilion. \u0026nbsp;The music becomes louder, and the lights focus on the dance floor. \u0026nbsp;There is a pulse pounding beat, and everyone is dancing. \u0026nbsp;Soon, however, everyone begins to stare at the newcomers. \u0026nbsp;The tall grey wolf, and his partner, the black German Shepard walk in, hand in hand. They turn to face each other and begin dancing to the music. \u0026nbsp;The music continues, but everyone soon stops dancing and turns to face the unusually dressed pair. \u0026nbsp;Eventually, a security guard walks up to the Shepard and taps his shoulder.)\n\nGuard\n\nExcuse me, sir? May I ask what you are doing?\n\nDave Shepard\n\nI'm dancing with my mate here. \u0026nbsp;Is there a problem?\n\nGuard\n\nThat depends. \u0026nbsp;May I ask why you are wearing these costumes?\n\nDave Shepard\n\nI believe the theme of this dance was self-expression. \u0026nbsp;Is that not the case?\n\nGuard\n\nIt is, but do you mean to say that you two ehh...\n\n(He peers into the other mask to try and judge the wolf's gender.)\n\n...gentleman identify as the animals you have dressed as?\n\nAaron Wolf\n\nThat is indeed how we identify. \u0026nbsp;Do the church organizers have an issue with that?\n\nGuard\n\n(Uncertainly)\n\nYes, I suppose they do.\u0026nbsp;\n\nDave Shepard\n\nHow about you, do you disapprove of us? \u0026nbsp;Be honest.\n\nGuard\n\nNo, I suppose not. \u0026nbsp;I have always felt some curiosity about your type, and I have to say, I support what you are doing here. \u0026nbsp;But don't tell anyone.\n\nAaron Wolf\n\nWhy? \u0026nbsp;We are proud of who we are. \u0026nbsp;Go tell whoever wants us to leave to talk to us themselves. \u0026nbsp;And if you ever want to chat sometime, let us know. \u0026nbsp;We're open about who we are.\n\nGuard\n\nOk, thanks that would be nice sometime.\n\n(He walks off. \u0026nbsp;The wolf and the dog begin to dance again.)\n\nDave Shepard\n\nWow, since when are you that proud of who we are?\n\nAaron Wolf\n\nSince I started dancing with my stud of a mate, and had a random person say he was curious about us. \u0026nbsp;Oh look, here comes someone else to yell at us.\n\nDave Shepard\n\nOh god, her. \u0026nbsp;She always acted like I was some kind of saint, not because of my personality, but so she could suck up to my family. \u0026nbsp;Prepare for a wave of bs.\n\n(She walks over, and pokes the wolf hard in the back.)\n\nAaron Wolf\n\nOw, that hurt. \u0026nbsp;Was that necessary?\n\nMrs. Greenbaum\n\nYes, I believe it was. \u0026nbsp;I don't know who you hooligans are, but you are ruining this social event. \u0026nbsp;This event was partially organized by our new church leader, Dave, and if he sees you two freaks here, I will hold you both responsible for ruining this dance.\n\nAaron Wolf\n\nIsn't the point of this dance to express and reveal your inner selves?\n\nMrs. Greenbaum\n\nThe point of this dance is to\u0026nbsp;show Dave the fruits of his labors, and further his relationship with my daughter, Elaina.\n\n(The German Shepard begins to slowly grind on the wolf's rear. \u0026nbsp;He wraps is arms around the wolf, and puts his head on the wolf's shoulder. \u0026nbsp;Mrs. Greenbaum looks appalled. \u0026nbsp;The rest of the people have started dancing again, and the two furs' dancing is far from the most suggestive. \u0026nbsp;The wolf moans slightly, just loud enough for Mrs. Greenbaum to hear.)\n\nAaron Wolf\n\n(Aside to the Shepard)\n\nDon't you think we are taking this a little far? \u0026nbsp;We don't want to give people a reason to say that we are sex freaks.\n\nDave Shepard\n\nI'll tone it down a bit. \u0026nbsp;Sorry. \u0026nbsp;How would you like to give her the shock of her life?\n\nAaron Wolf\n\nSure, what do you have in mind?\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nDave Shepard\n\nSomething you said would make you uncomfortable.\n\nAaron Wolf\n\nNot anymore, stud. \u0026nbsp;I love you, and I'm truly proud of who I am.\n\nDave Shepard\n\nWell then, let's get this going.\n\n(They turn to face each other. \u0026nbsp;Mrs. Greenbaum moves to confront the Shepard.)\n\nMrs. Greenbaum\n\nGet out of here, now!\n\nDave Shepard\n\nWhat, are you afraid we might cause a scene?\n\n(She does a double-take, recognizing the voice, but not able to believe the identity of the person.)\n\nYou ok there Mrs. Greenbaum?\n\nMrs. Greenbaum\n\nI don't understand, is this some sort of joke?\n\nDave Shepard\n\nNope, this is who I am.\n\n(He points at Aaron)\n\nAnd this is my mate, Aaron.\n\nMrs. Greenbaum\n\nWhat is happening, I don't understand what you are saying.\n\nDave Shepard\n\nDon't you? \u0026nbsp;Aaron, are you ready?\n\nAaron Wolf\n\nI suppose so.\n\n(They move apart slightly, then remove their masks. They embrace, and kiss once on the lips. \u0026nbsp;Mrs. Greenbaum shrieks, and everyone turns to look. \u0026nbsp;There is a sudden silence in the room as everyone realizes the identities of the two furs. \u0026nbsp;They both bow, to some scattered applause, mainly from the guard, and then put their arms around their shoulders.)\n\nDave Shepard\n\nYou may be wondering what the meaning of this is, and I think it should be clear. \u0026nbsp;We came as we are, not as society expects us to be. \u0026nbsp;We hope you can come to accept us, and I am proud to be here tonight and have been able to\u0026nbsp;\n\nshare this with you. \u0026nbsp;We will leave now, and let you get back to your party. \u0026nbsp;Farewell.\n\n(They put their head masks back on and walked towards the door, holding hands. \u0026nbsp;As the wolf passed the guard, he gave him a brief hug, and Dave gave him a hi-five. \u0026nbsp;Then the Wolf and the Shepard walked out together, with a newfound sense of peace.)\n\nThe End\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Come as You Are","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1068906-come-as-you-are-scene-5.json"}}
