Feeling the Gravity Part 3
#3 of Feeling the Gravity
Finally the third part of the story all put together and cleaned up. Sean's and Alex's adventure back home hits a few little road bumps, but have as much fun as two on leave graduates could.
The days before the class's departure dragged on. Days felt like weeks. Lessons didn't help to make it any quicker; being at the end of their education, there wasn't a whole lot that they had to go over any more. They were kept up with every advancement in technology and so there was little new to learn before they graduated. Alex and Sean kept themselves busy by writing to each other on their tablets. Hidden behind their school work.
Mercifully, the day finally came that their class was to board the shuttle and return to Earth. The whole class was jovial in their chatter. Sean held Alexandrite's hand as they came to the hanger that housed the Academy's ships. A long runway sat between to large doors, each would open after the chamber would be unpressurized, matching the vacuum of space.
The shuttle they were taking back to earth looked like many of the generic shuttles of an older time. They are mass produced and are as commonly used as airplanes. At the far end of the hanger were a few smaller ships. These were the fighter ships they'd been taught with. They were made for speedy combat and scouting missions. As such, they didn't have much in ways of firepower: twin cannons that were attached to the wings and a mini-gun on the underside, near the front of the ship.
Behind them were the larger, bulkier ships. They had the same weapons as well as some missiles. Though they were taught that they were used primarily as carriers and defensive ships. Both types were a dull metallic gray with white stripes that ran down the length of the angular vessels.
Sean was ushered into the shuttle by his mate, her tail whipping around excitedly. They were given suits and helmets to put on before the pair were allowed into the main fuselage. They were a simple precaution; just like a water vest was on a jet.
There were two rows down the length of the shuttle leaving the outsides open for anyone to walk around. The seats ranged from smaller ones for the petite species; to larger ones for furs like Alex. Sean however took one of the larger seats next to the dragoness as they sat near the middle of the ship. The fennec was strapped in by the dragoness, grunting as she pulled the straps tight before strapping herself in.
"As much as I can't wait to be home. I can't believe we're still using shuttles. You'd think we'd have teleporters already. I mean if they can create a self-sustaining colony both on the moon and orbiting the planet, then you'd think..."
"It takes a lot more science to try and move a living person across space." Linus' voice came from behind them. The leopard grinned, his head peeking from over the top of their seats. "But they're trying. Just give them another few decades."
"Yeah, yeah," Sean mumbled and flicked Linus on the nose with one of his long ears. "Know something we don't?" He tilted his head back to look up at the leopard.
"I'm just a simple medic." The feline slipped back down into his seat. Sean rolled his eyes. An announcement from the cabin told them they were about to take off after a final check. They were launched with no problems and began the long journey back to Earth. Alex held Sean's paw as they felt the shaking of the ship, the thrusters going full blast until they were out of the moon's orbit. The trip was going to take almost two days, during which, they were given plenty to do and work with on the flight. Shifts were taken by everyone to monitor the others and the ship. Sleeping while traveling was easy enough, they could recline the seats enough to sleep comfortably.
Sean was drifting off to sleep on the second day of flight, taking to leaning on Alex's large chest as he slept. Alex was holding onto a tablet, watching a movie with the sound off. It was one they watched so much, they could quote it from memory.
She pet the male's head softly as she continued to watch the film as he snored softly. Suddenly Linus popped up behind them. "He's quite the snore-er. How do you sleep with that next to you?" He smiled as he rubbed his eyes.
"Usually we're too tired afterwards, I'm usually out before him, anyway." She chuckled as Linus made a bit of a face. "You can be a bit crabby when you wake." Alex teased as she looked back at the leopard.
"I'm really ready to be on...solid ground, Sleep is the easiest way to pass time." Linus said and began reaching towards the fennec's ears, seeming to make no sense from his lack of sleep. "Let me wake him up and join us, it's only fair."
Alex quickly grabbed the feline's paw. "Do it and we'll see if we can't find a way to leave you on Earth." She released his fingers and smiled, giving a wink to let him know she was joking.
"You sure do baby him a lot. I know he's small, but he is a grown fox now."
"He's earned it. I don't see too much harm. He does the best he can, and sometimes...we all need a bit of an escape where we don't have responsibility." She petted Sean's head softly. "He's come a long way. You should have seen him in high school. He was tiny. Thin as a rail, I thought he was starving himself. When he told me he wanted to come up here, I was surprised to say the least. He was adamant, so I did the best to help him get ready to come up here." Sean gave a groan in his sleep as Alex rubbed his side, "still, doesn't settle with me if we got into combat."
"He's doing his best, yeah." Linus nodded. "Sean's been training as a spotter for you. He knows you're working to be a sniper. Just, *yawn*, don't tell him that I told you. Cause...I wasn't," he gave another yawn as he slipped down into sleep again.
It was another half day before they landed back on earth, everyone disembarked the ship, stumbling down the staircase to the tarmac. They felt so much heavier than when they were orbiting in the Lunar Claw. Everyone moved slow as they went down the stairs to the tarmac to collect their personal effects. Two long racks of packs were slid from the underside of the ship, each name labeled brighty on the faces of the luggage.
Once they'd gathered their belongings, Alex and Sean were guided to a small two person vehicle; it resembled a car but hovered just above the ground. It would easily get them to home in a few hours flight. It was surprisingly spacious, enough so they could lean back and stretch their legs.
"Oof, Real gravity feels really...odd now." Alex chuckled and leaned back, having input the fennec's address. The car's door shut behind Sean and flew into the air before he had a chance to settle down, causing him to flop into the Dragoness's lap.
Time to destination: three hours.
A soft male's voice spoke out, showing a small map on a screen. Alex chuckled and held him tightly. "Thanks Hal." She said to the car before nuzzling Sean's head. "What do you want to do first when we get home?"
"We'll probably settle in at the house for a day or two, get used to everything again. And of course Mom will want to visit. We've got...what a month off?" Sean suddenly gasped sharply as he felt Alexandrite's paw reaching down to tease his rear as she pulled him closer.
"Then we'll have to get our fun in before we get back." She grinned playfully. "Being pent up on that ship for days like that...." She gave a false whine, looking at Sean with big puppy dog eyes.
"Oh. You can wait, Mom's bound to be out sooner or later." Sean blushed dark and wiggled his tail. "Besides, you know that they have video security on these things." He pointed to where a small bubble mirror was placed in the corner before he yelped out as her paw pressed between his legs and against his slit. "H-Hey! You cheeky naughty dragoness!"
"So? I did say I was all pent up." She gave an innocent look. "I don't see what's so bad about giving them a show, anyway. It'll be like way back when when we'd do those random cam shows."
Sean's cheeks were hot with blush, he couldn't deny that the idea of putting on a show aroused him. "I-I guess so. I'll give you a blowjob before we get home. Just make sure they can't see my face." Sean whispered, barely able to speak. "Sound fair?"
"Deal!" She grinned and unzipped her jumpsuit, tucking it under her sheath, gasping at the cool metal against her clit. Her double-D breasts bouncing as they were freed the hermaphrodite dragoness pinched her nipples on occasion while she massaged her chest, purring deeply. Sean slid down between her legs, his cheeks burning up as he was met with her giant length,
Sean wasn't shy as he played when he took the first few inches into his muzzle, his ears twitching as she spoke. "Just go slow. We've got a long trip ahead of us." Sean only moaned around her length as he deepthroated her cock, a bulge forming in his throat.

Alex was laughing loudly as she climbed out of the car, her jumper was still open and her softening member was still spurting smaller shots of cum, fem juices dripping down her legs. She quickly zipped up as she stepped into the open, letting the fluids stain her jumpsuit.
"Dammit, Alex." Sean followed her out, coughing and splattering the ground with more of Alex's cum. "You know I can't keep up with you. I feel like I almost drowned." He groaned and looked down the front of his suit; also soaked in the dragoness's cum.
"I pulled out, I would never force you to try and take it all." She smiled as she kissed his muzzle, tasting herself. "I felt you patting, you know i would never ignore our safewords." Alex walked him towards the trailer, holding their bags in one paw. "I'll make it up to you, promise. But least we now know what will happen when you edge me for almost three hours." She looked at the trailer she'd come to know so well growing up with Sean.
Though after five years things had changed, so knew might be a better word. Things looked so different from what she remembered. The brush and cars and their parts that once littered the area around the trailer and gravel driveway were all gone, replaced with freshly cut grass. A small garden of multicoloured flowers sat on both sides of the porch steps.
The trail was refurbished with new paneling and paint. "Wow. Mom's been a busy fox while we were gone." Alex whistled as they crossed the drive, stone crunching under paw. They found a note taped to the inside of the screen door when they got up the steps:
Sean, Alex,
I'm probably still at work by the time you are home.
Make yourselves at home, there's some snacks in the fridge
<3 Mom.
"I guess it's going to be us for a bit." Sean set the note down on the counter after reading it. "I'm going to take a quick shower, and you clean up after me, I'm soaked. I won't be long." Sean kissed the herm before heading down the hall to the bathroom
Alex looked around the house, everything inside was just the same. Everything was put in the same place just in front of a newly paneled wall. She walked down the hall, carrying their bags; the dragoness looked at all the pictures that lined the wall. Pictures of Sean with his mother as a cub, a single picture of her and an adult male fennec, his father. Further down the hall were some pictures with Alex in them.
After she'd ran away from home that rainy night, she was happily adopted by the female fennec. Karren treated her just as a daughter; like she'd been born into the family. She smiled and reminisced about those final months before they went to Lunar Claw. It was the first time she felt a part of a family, despite her size. It did take her a while to get used to calling Karren 'mom' but eventually it became as natural as breathing.
Turning left, she entered Sean and her room. Everything looked just the same as how they'd left it; much like the rest of the house. Putting their luggage on the bed, she heaved a heavy, content sigh. It was really great to be home.
Alex heard the gravel crunch, letting her know that someone was driving up. "Well that couldn't have been better timing." She said, looking out, seeing Karren stepping out of the car. She quickly darted out into the hall and into the bathroom, pulling off her suit and tossing it into the wash with Sean's. "Mom's home!" She chirped out and climbed in behind Sean, nearly banging his head with her giant bust.
Sean got out of the shower, giggling at the dragoness as she rushed to get cleaned up. "Yeah, I heard her. I'll let you get cleaned up." He said and dried his fur as best as he could before he stepped out into the hall.
"SEAN!" Came his mother's voice. He was almost knocked over when she hugged him. The wind was squeezed out of him with surprising force, making him yip out. "It's so good to see you again!" She cried. Her cheeks were damp with tears, obviously happy to see her son after so long. She let go and stood straight again, wiping her cheeks. Karren was almost as tall as Sean, a bit of a slender form just like Sean had once; though with the added curves of her chest and hips.
"I missed you so much, Mom." He said with a grin, tears forming in the corners of his eyes. "It's really good to be home. I see you've been rather busy while we've been gone." He looked around, wiping across his cheeks.
"Oh yeah. Just something I've been doing when I've got some time off. I got the yard work myself, but I had someone refurbish the house. They were wondering why I didn't just get a new trailer or actually build a place, I just said that it just wouldn't be like home. But I'll let you two get dressed and settled in. I'll make some lunch."
Just before Karren turned to walk away, the bathroom door opened and revealed Alexandrite, a much larger towel wrapped around her form. "Mommy!" She squeaked like an oversized cub, wrapping her arms tightly around the female.
"Alex! There you are!" Karren smiled and hugged Alex back, groaning a bit at the squeeze that Alex was giving her. "How're you doing, dear?"
"I'm doing well, glad to be home." She bounced on the balls of her feet, gripping her towel so it didn't fall off. "Just wish it didn't take almost three days to get here."
"I understand that, It was agonizing: the wait. But I'm glad you're home." Karren hugged both of them before turning about. "Go get dressed. Lunch will be ready shortly."
Alex took Sean's paw and led him to the bedroom. He saw that everything he had before he left was still in nearly the exact same spot, though not a speck of dust was around the items, it felt like he'd never left. He gave a content sigh. "It's so good being home. I know I keep saying it but doesn't make it any less true."
Alex nodded in agreement as she began to get dressed in her civilian clothes. "Yea, verily."
"Lunch is ready!" Karren called out after a few minutes, the two fully dressed by now. They went outside to the kitchen and sat down at the dining table, a plate of subs with some chips was placed in front of the two.
They talked well into the evening, telling everything they could think of: Karren talked more about the renovations to the property and a promotion she'd gotten at work. Sean and Alex spoke of the classes and training they were undergoing in the Lunar Claw. Exhaustion finally took everyone, and they retired to their beds for the night.
"Hmm, Feels so good sleeping in our old bed again." Alex spooned the fennec into her belly, tail curling around his paws. "But...feels different, doesn't smell like us and such." She grinned and nibbled Sean's ears. "What do you say we make it a bit more...us?" Her hand slipped down his underwear and teased just above his pussy.
Sean took a sharp intake of breath, thighs clamping on her paw. "Alex!" he hissed through clenched teeth, ears falling back against Alex's chest. "Mom's just in the other room. You know how thin these walls are...used to be. She'd still be able to hear us." He stifled another moan and tried to pull the herm's paws away, feeling her harden against his rump already.
"I don't mind!" Came Karren's voice from her bedroom. "Just be sure to use the condoms in the night stand!" She added with a barely heard chuckle.
"MOM!" Sean barked, his ears turning bright red with a blush; his cheeks already a deep shade of red. He buried his face in the pillows as Alex let out a roar of laughter.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The pair took a few days spending time inside, adjusting to being back on their home planet. As well as catching up with the elder Fennec. Karren was spending time at home with them, having gotten the two weeks off they were here.
When they finally did leave the house, they explored a lot of what they remembered, quite a bit had changed over the time. Everything was expanding; the shops and the school they'd gone to. They didn't spend a lot of time there; the memories weren't all the greatest, so they decided to head off to the parks, where they would skip classes when they were teens. They found that the park had a few new rides to go along with old ones.
They sat on the swings, side by side as they watched all the cubs play. "Everything feels so much different. I can't be sure if it's from us being away, or that it really has changed." Sean mumbled
The old swings, despite being taken very good care of, creaked when Alex went to sit down on. She wasn't as light as an average fur, so she always had to be careful. She rocked back and and forth, keeping most of her weight on her paws. "A lot can change in such a little time. I mean look at us, you specifically." She reached over and held his paw.
"Yeah, then there's also the things that will never change. The memories we've made. Our love." He sighed and gave a pause. "Your naughtiness." He grinned.
She gave and exaggerated laugh. "Oh, HA! HA! You always going to pull that one on me?" She pulled her hand away, her tail curling around her leg as she play pouted on the swing.
"You're so cute when you're pouting." Sean said and hugged her from behind, his cheek pressed against her back. They soon heard the jingling tune of an ice cream truck. "How about a quick treat before we go to the arcade?"
"Yes please!" Alex squeaked out and clapped her hands together, almost knocking the small fennec over when she jumped up.
"Okay, you silly cub." Sean took her paw and stepped up behind all the cubs that were grouped up in front of the vendor.
Sean was licking on a fruit pop while Alex was finishing her second. "I really shoulda grabbed another." She mumbled as she tossed the stick into a trashcan as they passed. "And then there's you..." Alex growled.
"What, I'm just eating." Sean chuckled and sucked the entire length of the ice pop into his muzzle, a small mischievous grin spreading after slurping it out slowly, murring the entire time.
"I swear..." Her growl never faded as they stepped into the arcade. It was quiet, thankfully they'd come during school hours, so the only others around were the young adults and the very young with their parents. It was brightly lit by fluorescent lights and the game's own lights, drawing their eyes to the machines.
A young twenty-something year old hare sat behind the counter, reading a book and squeezed a ball in his paw. He looked over the paperback when the two stepped in, getting to his feet and smiling, revealing a chipped front tooth. "Welcome to the Extra Man game Arcade."
"You've certainly upgraded things around here." Sean said and looked around some of the older machines to spot some newer ones and even some computer monitors for the PC gamers.
"Yeah. Took us awhile, but we're finally catching up to some of the larger game shops around. You'll need a card, you put points onto it, slide it like you would a credit card. We're having a sale: A hundred points for twenty dollars. Points and tickets you have on the card last a lifetime, so you hang onto it."
"What do you think, hun?" Alex asked and pet Sean's head.
Sean was looking at the board, showing the prices for each amount of points. "Guess we can start with just a twenty. See how things go." Sean smiled and handed the hare a twenty dollar bill.
"Excellent." He grinned and took a card from the desk and slid it on the machine. "Here you are. Do enjoy yourselves." the hare handed them the card.
Alex and Sean poked around for a good while. Starting on some of the newer games, Alex took several attempts at getting good at one game, trying to win the jackpot, but unable to nab it, always being a few ball drops short. Eventually they went back to some of their favorite cabinets and ride on games.
They were using the last of the points on a motorcycle racing game, the both of them straddling fiberglass bikes. After their last race, Sean was about to head back out when Alex announced she'd answer nature's call before they left, leaving the fennec on his own. He leaned against one of the motorcycles to wait on her. It couldn't have been more than a minute before he was yanked back, falling to the floor with a yelp of surprise when Sean landed on his tail.
"Move it pipsqueak," A familiar voice hissed out. Sean looked up from the floor and saw the tall, thickly muscled Komodo Dragon. They held their gaze for a bit before his eyes lit up in recognition. "Shit. That little pussy boy, Sean?"
"Kaleth..." Sean grumbled and stood up, knocking the dust off of his pants. "See you haven't changed a bit..." the fennec gave a squeak as he was lifted off of his feet, Kaleth's clawed hand gripping his shirt tightly.
"Bitch, I've changed plenty." He grinned, showing off his sharp teeth. "Been training and working out; Almost took state in boxing last year, and haven't stopped getting ready for this year. Making my high school days look like I was a wimp."
"I've kicked your ass more than once, Kaleth." Alex hissed from behind him, cracking her knuckles. "I'd love to go again."
"Ah, There you are, me and Sean were just catching up. Your boyfriend's gotten quite big too, Sean." He whistled and grinned, wrapping an arm around Sean's shoulders and crushing the air out of the fennec.
Sean elbowed him in the solar plexus, knocking the wind out of him. Kaleth gasped in surprise at the strike, holding his abdomen. "You know, I'm really not surprised to see you two together. Nothing like a couple of freaks to make each other feel normal." There was a crack as Alex shot her fist forward, catching the reptile in the muzzle with a heavy hook. Kaleth fell into the arcade cabinets behind him, gasping and spitting blood.
"You're such a fucker, you slime. Ever the fucking bully! Maybe someone oughta put you in your damn place!" She stormed to him, kicking him heavy in the ribs, knocking the air from him once more, spattering the floor with blood as he coughed. She went to kick and stomp him again before Sean grabbed Alexandrite's waist, holding her back as best as his smaller for could.
"ALEX! STOP!." Sean barked, pulling her just enough to keep her from kicking Kaleth.
"You bitch," he hoarsely spoke, his muzzle filled with blood, obviously missing some teeth from that single blow.
"What the hell's going on back here?" The hare darted to where the three were standing.
"We were just about to leave and were..." Alex started before being cut off by the shopkeep.
"I need you two to stick around. I'll call the ambulance." He commanded before going back to the counter to call.
Alex lowered her head, her cheeks burning with unseen blush. She glanced at Sean who nodded to a back door. Sneaking out the door, the pair heard Kaleth scream at them. They walked in silence most of the walk back to the house. They were just to the turn off to Sean's house when Alex spoke. "Hey....hun. I'm sorry about losing my temper there. And got out of hand. But when he said that. I just, it felt like I fell back into high school all over again and..." She trailed off, rubbing her forearm.
"It's okay, love. He had it coming to be fair, I kind of felt the same. I also...had remembered that we've been trained in a more aggressive manner than civilians. And you're so much stronger than some of our teachers, So i just want you to be careful. I don't want you getting into so much trouble because of some bastard like him." He hugged Alex and kissed her cheek.
She kissed his muzzle in return, a soft purring coming from her throat. "I know, hun. I'll try and be more careful." She whispered as they broke the kiss. "Let's just spend the rest of the trip at home." Alex joked as they turned back to walk to the house.
"Sounds a fair plan. Just have a whole week of rest." Sean agreed and opened the door for the dragoness.
"There you two are." Karren smiled and waved. She was sat at the table, cutting potatoes. Sean's tablet was sat in front of her, playing the news. "Lunch will be done in about half an hour."
The news was cut off when a ringing from the tablet sounded off. Small button with a fingerprint appeared, the word CLASSIFIED emblazoned below. Sean lifted his eyebrows and leaned forward, pressing his thumb to the button. A circle surrounded the digit as it read his thumbprint before disappearing. A voice came through, sounding robotic and montoned.
Attention: Lunar Claw graduates. There has been an incident at Lunar Claw Academy. Vehicles to collect you will be arriving at 1600 hours; Lunar Time. You will further be debriefed when you arrive.
The voice clip ended and the news reporter's voice returned, talking about the lastest sports. The time in the corner of the tablet was reading 15:48 Karren gave a weak sigh and wiped her paws of potato juice. "Well. I guess I'll get lunch finished. Send you off with something." She spoke quietly. "I'll let you know when it's ready." She stood up, carrying the bowl of potatoes to the stove.
Sean's ears twitched, hearing his mother sniffle. Letting them fall back, he turned to Alexandrite. "Mind packing for us, hun?" The dragon nodded and went down the hall to the bedroom, her tail drooping. "Mom. We'll be okay. We..." He was cut off when Karren threw her arms around him, pressing her head under his jaw.
"I never thought that you would have seen conflict. I hope that you wouldn't." She whimpered and held onto him, leaning against this chest as her legs threatened to let her slip to the floor. "I haven't seen you both in so long. And I had so much more to...to catch up on. I had everything planned out." Her tears wet his shirt as she held her son. "I missed you, Sean. I just wanted everything to be perfect."
"Mom. I wanted the same. But we got to see you and spend time. I'm glad for that, even if it was cut short..." He hugged her tightly back. "Alex will be there watching over me, I'm there to keep her safe too. We'll be back sooner than we could hope..." Sean whispered to comfort his mother.
They were both lifted off of their paws as Alex hugged them tightly, making both Fennecs yip in alarm. "I promise to take care of our big man, Momma!" Alex smiled widely, tears could be seen running down her scaled cheek.
Sean blushed darkly as he was pinned between the pair of them, wiggling a little so that he could hug them both at the same time. "We'll come home safe." He added when they could hear the sound of a shuttle car landing, letting off a sharp honk. "I'll message when we're back at the academy." Sean gave his mother a final, tight hug. "I love you mom, So much."
"I love you, Sean. I love you, Alex." Karren let go of her children. "Take care of yourselves. Be...safe." She said, not knowing what else to say at the moment. She wiped her cheeks with one paw, waving the entire time with the other, watching them throw their bags into the vehicle and taking off, disappearing over the horizon. Karren shuddered and let the dam break and truly, holding onto the porch railing for long minutes before disappearing back into the Trailer.
