In this series, our protagonist, Aaron, awakes one morning to find himself somewhere he definitely shouldn't be, in the body of an anthropomorphic sabretooth tiger woman. Now living as Alexis, she must find out how she came to this strange world of humanoid animals and how to get back. But such a task can be quite difficult when such a world presents so many...distractions.

This is a new commissioned series for the lovely, Cario. I love working with him and look forward to seeing where this series goes in the future! I hope everyone enjoys.


My Sabretooth Life: Part 1

By: MisstressChange

From the moment Aaron woke up, he knew something was wrong. The alarm that normally tortured his ears sounded entirely off. Its tone was different, a digital chirping replacing the usual screeching. It seemed somewhat pleasant compared to the one he had become so accustomed to. Being such a heavy sleeper, he had always required some overwhelming, jarring dirge to jolt him awake. He could probably sleep right through an earthquake or even a hurricane on a typical night. He would have easily slept through this alarm too.

Figuring he had accidentally set the alarm on his phone, Aaron drowsily peeled open his eyes to hit the snooze button. It took him a few seconds to register the strange environment coming into focus. When he realized where he was, his eyes snapped wide open. This was not his room...

He pushed himself up by his arms, the alarm clock and cell phone by his bed coming better into view. It certainly wasn't his clock. His was the well-used traveler's clock his dad bought him before going to Europe almost a decade ago. This one was attached to a small stereo system fitted with a docking port for a phone sticking out the top.

His gaze abandoned the clock to explore the rest of the room. The meager light breaking through the window's blinds above the bed revealed that this was definitely not his room. The room's walls were painted white, like his. But unlike his, they were decorated with posters and pictures he didn't recognize. In addition, various red, pink, and purple objects adorned the black dressers and shelves, successfully adding color to the room.

Anything else he could make out in the dim light revealed that this was, by no doubt, a girl's room. Along with a large vanity mirror, makeup and accessories littered the dresser-top next to the closet. Across the room, by the door, was a desk and chair. A desktop computer sat on top, whirring while LED components inside the case cast a pink glow over the sleeping monitor and keyboard.

This didn't make sense at all to Aaron. He remembered going to the bar and walking home after having a few drinks. That was it. He never talked to any of the girls at the bar, let alone took one back to their place, and he didn't get nearly drunk enough to forget if he had. So why was he in some girl's room?

Instinctively, he whipped his head around to the spot next to him in bed, half expecting to find a lady sleeping next to him. But it was vacant, only the fluffy, red comforter that lay across the mattress and an extra pillow.

By this time, the alarm had been wailing long enough to break him of his puzzled curiosity. He shook his head and twisted his body to reach the button on the front of the clock. As his arm came into view to finally cease the commotion, he realized something else was wrong, terribly wrong. For the hand that had entered his vision was not his own either. It was covered in fur.

Frantically, he brought both his hands up before his face, turning them over repeatedly in horror. They were covered in fur. There was no doubt about it. Upon further investigation, he also discovered he lacked fingernails. His mouth gaped in a blend of terror and disbelief.

Out of morbid fascination, Aaron took one of his shaking, furry fingers between two from his other hand, squeezing it. A sharp claw pushed out from the tip, which appeared to have been painted with purple nail polish.

While Aaron studied his strange feline hands, he noticed something in the lower half of his vision that he hadn't before. His eyes crossed and turned down at whatever it was. His panic and dismay only compounded when they focused enough to make out this newfound protrusion.

His furry hands sprung to his face only to confirm his worse fears. He had a snout! a feline snout, to be precise. His fingers explored downward, swiping over two sabretooth fangs hanging out of his open jaw from his upper jaw. Shaking, his hands slowly retreated away from his face.

"What the fuck!" He exclaimed in a twist of fright and confusion. However, when a feminine voice not his own left his throat, his hands returned immediately, clasping his mouth shut. His eyes darted about the room in a panic. Gradually he let his hands away from his muzzle. "What the fuck?" He repeated in a higher-pitched whisper.

He sat there, stunned for a few moments before throwing the blankets off himself and scooting to the edge of the mattress as fast as he could. Then, bounding off the bed, he ran for the light switch near the door, ignoring the bouncing weight on his chest. Flicking the lights on, he squinted at the blinding, sudden illumination and ran back to the vanity mirror.

What appeared to be a sabretooth tiger woman with long, curly red hair stared back at him in the mirror's reflective surface with a look of dread and confusion on her face. A pair of double-D breasts hung from her chest. A bush of longer pubic fur hid her lady parts between two long, toned legs, which terminated upward in ample, curvy hips. A tail hung down from behind her, motionless. The end of it subconsciously curled upwards on its own, away from the floor.

Aaron took a leering look over the beautiful, tawny-furred amazon in the mirror, nearly forgetting it was himself, or, herself? she was ogling. She grimaced at her reflection and brought her hands up to cover her face, her curled fingers clutching her forehead.

"Oh my god...What the fuck is going OOooon?" She asked, groaning into her palms. She wiped her hands down her face and sat back down on the bed. She spread two of her fingers apart and peered back at her reflection through them, then lowered her hands to her lap, cringing at her strange half-animal body visage.

"This has to be a nightmare. It just has to be! This can't be real. I have to wake up. NOW!" Aaron hoisted herself off the bed and went to the dresser next to it, where the alarm clock was. She intended to awaken from this nightmare using the same device that brought her into it.

Figuring a bit of self-harm would release her from this nightmare, the sabretooth grabbed the phone off the top and set it aside. Then, she lifted the weighty clock stereo off the dresser and held it above, laying her other hand down with her fingers splayed apart on the dresser. Aaron brought the clock down as hard as she could on her hand.

Instead of finding himself bolting up in his own bed, startled awake by imagined pain and distress, a very genuine pain shot through her hand. She dropped the clock and rolled onto the bed, groaning in anguish and grasping her hand. "Owww...FUCK!"

She didn't know what else to expect. It was the only way for her to determine if what she was experiencing was real or not. It turns out it was. The throbbing pain in her hand and the tears in her eyes were evidence of that.

After a minute of nursing her hand, Aaron opened her eyes, seeing a string of red paper hearts hanging above the vanity mirror. Each heart had a pink paper letter cut out and glued to its center. They spelled out, 'Alexis.' Was that her name?

It was then that she remembered the phone on the dresser. Desperate to find out who's strange humanoid animal body she had woken up in, she rolled over and snatched the phone off the dresser. The screen lit up to her touch, and she brought it to her face. A waist-up selfie of her and another animal woman, a skunk, filled her vision, both wearing bikinis at a beach with their arms draped over each others' shoulders and excited grins on their faces. She couldn't help but feel like their cheery smiles were mocking her.

She swiped her thumb across the screen to unlock it but was blocked by a number pad demanding a four-digit pin. Alexis gave an exasperated sigh of defeat and put the phone down next to her falling backward onto the bed. She slowly turned her head turned sideways. The computer across the room came into view, casting its pink glow over the desk. She hummed to herself curiously and stood up, taking her phone.

The whole computer setup looked quite pricy. Having been into computer games in her original body, she knew a gaming rig when she saw it, from the LED-backlit mechanical keyboard and ergonomically shaped mouse to the bulky leather chair and curved monitor. Once she plopped herself down on the chair, she took hold of the mouse and moved it. The black screen woke up, displaying an array of desktop icons on top of an animated wallpaper of a sabretooth lady sipping tea next to a window in a stylized surrounding that emulated the same room she was occupying.

She scrolled down to the taskbar and opened a multi-colored browser icon that looked vaguely like the one she used on her computer back home. The browser maximized on the screen, displaying three tabs. One called 'Snoutbook,' one called 'Ewetube,' and one called 'Twatch.' Alexis snorted through her nose at the names and shook her head. She clicked and opened the 'Snoutbook' tab. A layout almost identical to Facebook's met her puzzled stare. She clicked on the round profile picture of herself, winking and sticking her tongue out, and clicked on it.

Once her profile opened, Alexis wasted no time scrolling down to her personal info with the mouse wheel. Alexis Sabreclaw was her name, born on April 28th,2000. "So, my name is Alexis Sabreclaw, and I'm twenty-two...or will be soon," she murmured, noting the date on the toolbar. She graduated in 2018 from somewhere called Pawson Hills High School and is currently attending the University of Cascadia. Alexis had no idea where 'Cascadia' was. She had never heard of it until now.

She scrolled down and saw her list of friends. According to the number above the list, she knew three-hundred and seventy-eight people. Taking a quick gander at the massive list, she found one face that stood out. It was the skunk from her lock screen, scrunching her nose and mouth sassily for the camera. Her name was Eve Longtail.

She clicked on the skunk's profile and scrolled down the page past numerous memes and selfies. Finally, she came upon a chest-up selfie of her and Eve lounging together on an oversized sectional couch in their pajamas, making goofy faces. A large bowl of popcorn sat on Alexis' lap. She read the description given at the top of the post.

"Having movie night with my bestie!!!!1!!" This was followed by a few hashtags, one of which was '#roommates.'

"My roommate's a skunk." She thought out loud in disbelief, scrunching up her brow. Her hand moved the mouse up to the 'Twatch' tab, snorting at the word 'twat'. A purple bordered site appeared, instantly recognizable as the 'Twitch' Aaron frequently visited back in his body, with a few differences in UI. The loaded page was of a user's profile. A user's page named 'S8berpaws' using the outline of a sabretooth tiger face as their avatar, drawn in a Nordic style came up. As she scrolled down, it was apparent that this was her account, revealed by one of the featured clips auto-playing on the page.

Her upper body was confined to a small box on the bottom right of the video, backdropped by her room. The video version of her was wearing a low-cut shirt and a ton of makeup over her facial fur. She gazed over at the viewer counts, opening her eyes in shock. The girl had thousands of subscribers and even more followers. Her eyes drifted back to the video clip of her in her revealing shirt, giggling at something going on in the game she was playing. Her eyelids sunk in an unimpressed manner. "I'm a titty streamer?" She asked herself rather judgmentally.

A rumble from her stomach pulled her attention from the screen. Her belly began to ache as morning hunger set in. She figured she could piece together the bizarre life she had awoken in after getting a bite to eat.

But she also remembered she had a roommate and had woken up in the nude. So she'd have to put something on or risk exposing the skunk to her naked, fur-covered body, which she assumed was still considered obscene in a society of anthropomorphic animals.

Standing up from the chair, she wandered over to the tall dresser next to the closet. She opened one of the top drawers and found it full of different bras. Unwilling to struggle with something she'd never had any experience putting on, she went to the top drawer. This one was full of tank tops.

"Ok, where's her underwear?" She opened the last two near the bottom. It was just more bras. The very bottom one was, well, was filled with sex toys. "Damn, girl." She remarked. "You like to have some solo play, eh?" She chuckled, nearly forgetting about the situation she was in. A small part of her wondered what her female parts

Searching the dresser by her bed, she found drawers filled with trinkets, sweaters, or pajama tops. "Where were her pants? Undies even?" She walked into the closet and flipped on the light, looking for anything at this point. Everything hanging on the racks or folded on the top shelf was either a jacket, hoodie, or dress. She backed away from the closet and looked around the room.

"Where are all her pants? She can't just wear dresses all the time. At least let me wear some underwear!" Frustrated, she went back to the closet and grabbed a comically long t-shirt that could function as a nightgown. She threw it over her big, sabretooth body and pulled it down, slipping her arms through the sleeves, which terminated just below her shoulders.

Alexis looked at herself in the mirror. The shirt was quite tight around her hips and bosom, only appearing loose at her waist and shoulders. It would have to do for now. Partially dressed and hiding her shame, Alexis crept up to the door. She pressed her ear to the door, instinctively rotating in the direction she was trying to listen.

There was an absence of noise on the other side. Dead quiet. Alexis reached for the doorknob and slowly, silently turned it. The door opened a sliver, and she peeked out. Her room must have been in a hallway because a white wall was all she could make out.

Sensing the coast was clear, the sabretooth pulled the door open and cautiously stepped into the hall. It wasn't very long or wide. A closed door next to hers had a bunch of hearts, cut out of construction paper, taped to it. Letters that spelled out 'EVE' adorned the middle, cut from black construction paper.

The end of the hallway closest to Alexis' door terminated with another closed door. Light glowed out from under it, and the sound of a running shower let Alexis know that her skunk roommate was probably in there. "Thank God." She thought to herself and hurried down the hall into the living area.

The rest of their apartment was reasonably sized. The large sectional from the Snoutbook picture she saw earlier wrapped around the den, creating a lovely nook for people to converse, cuddle, and enjoy their visual forms of entertainment.

A table with four chairs took up the space between the den and the kitchen, painted black and fashioned in modern style. The kitchen matched the décor of the rest of the apartment and had enough room for an island with bar stools.

Alexis marched over to the cupboards, opening them until she found some cereal boxes. She withdrew a colorful box of 'wheaty crisps' greeting her on a waist-high shelf, then went to the fridge. There was barely enough milk left in the carton for a whole serving. She sighed and swiped a bowl from a cupboard and a spoon from one of the island drawers.

The clinking of shredded wheat in porcelain rang in her ears while she poured the box's contents out, the only sound in the whole dwelling beside the muted cascade of steamy water coming from beyond the bathroom door. She poured the last of the milk into the bowl and promptly devoured the simple meal. Well, she attempted to, at least.

Eating with a muzzle felt so alien to her, and this only brought her attention to how strange handling things was with furry fingers, not to mention the lack of fingernails. She gave a start when milk dribbled out of her mouth, trying to lean over and catch it in the bowl, then promptly reaching out to snatch a paper napkin from the center of the table.

Her eyes clamped shut as she wiped the white liquid from her mouth, holding back tears. "This sucks so hard! I feel like a freak!" She was steadily losing her fight with despair. "Why am I here? Why me?" A tear ran down her cheek, and she reached up to wipe it away. Suddenly, her ears perked as the sound of running water down the hall ceased. Her eyes went wide. The self-pity session would have to wait.

"Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod!" She panicked, sorrow instantly forgotten. "What do I say? What would Alexis say? Will she notice something's off? Should I tell her what's going on? What if she thinks I'm nuts? What if I am nuts?" Her mind raced a thousand miles a minute, and her ears zeroed in on the bathroom door, scrutinizing every subtle sound made.

She nearly jumped out of her pelt when the doorknob jiggled loose. The sabretooth scrambled to look somewhat normal, picking up her spoon. However, she clearly couldn't eat without making a fool of herself, so she opted to stir her cereal awkwardly instead, seeming lost in thought.

The door opened. Alexis listened intently to the soft footsteps leading out into the hallway. First came the shuffling of fur on cloth, then a sassy feminine voice speaking.

"Hey, biiiiitch!" Alexis again nearly jumped out of her pelt at the skunks enduring greeting. The sabretooth refused to look up from her bowl.

"Uh, h-hey, uh...Eve." She struggled to remember the girl's name while retaining a semi-normal tone.

"Last of the milk? I know we were low yesterday. Can you pick some up after class today? It's your turn to buy." Alexis stared blankly at her cereal.

"Um...sure...yeah, I'll get some more." She answered with as much enthusiasm as she could muster, still frozen with fear.

"Cool..." Eve started to say. Her tone turned more concerned. "Are you alright? You seem kinda...dead inside." Alexis cringed briefly, thinking up any excuse she could.

"I'm alright, just tired, is all." She ran a hand over her forehead and through her red hair.

"Gotcha. Late-night streaming, eh? Kay, just gotta change. Be out in a sec." Alexis heard the door to Eve's room open and shut. She let out a deep sigh of relief.

"Fuck me..." She groaned dejectedly. "This is gonna be a long day." She thought about just crawling back into bed and sleeping away the rest of the day. Forget classes and buying milk. She could barely eat without embarrassing herself, let alone speak to anyone, knowing she wasn't who she was pretending to be.

Alexis stood up and went to the sink with her cereal. She poured the milk out of her bowl and awkwardly spooned the remaining cereal into her gaping maw with her head tipped back. She set the bowl down and turned to head hastily to her room.

The sabretooth made it to the hallway's opening when a half-dressed Eve opened her door and stepped out in front of her. The two nearly collided. Eve gave a startled jump and an *eep!*. She staggered backward and caught herself on the doorframe. She giggled and looked up at Alexis' frightened face, a flustered look on her own.

"Oh, shit, Alex. That was a close one, eh?" She paused to look the nervous, fidgety feline up and down. Alexis did the same for Eve. The skunk was wearing a purple tank top with a black leather jacket that only came down to her waist.

Other than a few bracelets and a pair of earrings, she wore nothing else. No pants, no socks, only a tuft of pubic fur covered her shame. "I haven't seen you wear that shirt in ages. Out of laundry?" She smirked at the tigress while giving her another look up and down. Her face dropped its cheery disposition when Alexis failed to answer her. The tigress just stood there dumbfounded, her mouth agape, fingers fiddling with the hem of her shirt.

"Are you alright, hun? Eve asked, concern in her tone. Alexis closed her mouth and swallowed, thinking of something with which to reply. Her eyes darted everywhere but Eve's.

"I'm...I'm...not feeling so great. I...think I'm gonna stay home today." She mumbled. Eve just raised her eyebrows at Alexis in an almost disapproving way.

"What? But our biology exam is today! You can't miss that!" The skunk crossed her arms and shifted her weight onto her hip. "Yaknow, they won't let you postpone it unless you have a doctor's note." Alexis swallowed hard, concern spreading across her face. Great, not only was she stuck in some animal lady's body, but the body she was attached to had to take a fucking exam! She took in a deep breath and let out a distressed whine.

Eve uncrossed her arms and pulled the sabretooth into an unexpected but comforting hug. Alexis was caught off guard and nearly pushed the skunk away from her. But as Eve's musky aroma tickled her nose, she stopped herself. Her muscles relaxed, and her mind eased. She hugged the skunk back, planting her nose in her fur and breathing in her scent.

That skunky scent smelled all too familiar to the tigress. It shouldn't, but it did. Animal instincts that Aaron failed to experience in his human body made waves in this new one. Eve's scent brought with it the comfort and trustworthiness of a true friend. The more musk she inhaled, the more information came to bear.

Memories of the two from high school to this very moment flashed through her mind like a computer processing data. Steadily, she knew more and more of the skunk. Including the few times they had...slept together?.

"You're gonna do great today. You have some of the best grades in the class." She withdrew from Alexis and hung her arms over the tigress's shoulders. "If anything, the rest of us should be worried." Alexis figured she should say something back. She had trouble trying not to stare between the skunk's legs.

"Yeah, well. I have a feeling it's not going to go so great." Eve scoffed at this.

"Everyone does, hun." Eve made a mildly distressed grunt. "Especially me." She moved her hands to the tigress's shoulders. "Now, get dressed while I grab a bite to eat." Eve patted Alexis' upper arms and moved around the tigress toward the kitchen. Alexis watched her go, particularly her swaying tail and rear end.

Alexis figured she might as well take a stab at the exam. Any grade would be better than a zero. She ought to try her best not to screw up this poor girl's life. At least until he found a way back to her own. A sigh of reluctance breezed from her mouth as she decided to go with her friend...roommate...lover?

"Dressed..." Alexis murmured to herself. How was she supposed to get dressed without any bottoms...or underwear? "Hey, Eve? Do you know what I did with all my pants and undies? I couldn't find any earlier." Eve turned to answer, first taking a large bite from an apple she had swiped from a metal basket next to the sink.

"Panths and undieths?" She replied, flinging tiny drops of apple juices from her full mouth. She swallowed before raising an eyebrow. "What are those?"

The ride to the university in Eve's car was a quiet one. With Alexis' gaze fixed on every person they passed. Each a different animal, but none wearing anything below their hips. She figured Eve might have been genuinely nuts or perhaps just a voyeur when she told Alexis she had no idea what pants were. Although the tigress probably would have figured something was awry before leaving her bedroom, had any of the pictures or videos she watched not been from the waist up.

Alexis stared on in befuddlement. The world around her was so much like Aaron's back home, if only a bit off. Eve worked the steering wheel with one hand and munched on a protein bar with the other.

"Man, you must really be nervous. You haven't said a word since we left." Alexis pried her eyes away from the half-naked pedestrians to turn her attention toward the skunk.

"Uh, yeah, I'm pretty nervous, I'd say." Eve gave her a doting *aww* to express her sympathies.

"I know you'll do fine, hun." She turned her head to shoulder-check before merging.

"I'm not so sure it's the exam I'm worried about." The sabretooth rested her head on her closed fist, elbow leaning on the car's door.

"Oh?" Eve asked curiously. Alexis sighed.

"Do..." She paused to rephrase her question. "Have you ever woken up and not felt like yourself? Like, at all?" Eve gave a snort.

"I can think of a few times. Then again, I was pretty drunk the night before. Why? Did you drink too much on stream last night?"

"No, not like a hangover. This is different. Like...I'm not supposed to be here. Like I was someone else from somewhere else, and I was put here by forces beyond my comprehension." Eve spat, choking on her protein bar. Wheezing laughs were sprinkled in throughout her coughs.

"Girl, you are too funny. Sure you didn't take anything last night?" She commented laboriously, still partially choking. The humor was lost on the tigress. "I can see why you're so popular online. Well, other than those massive milkers, eh?" Eve gently ribbed Alexis with her elbow and giggled, which was promptly cut off by more coughing.

Alexis looked down at her protruding bosom, covered by the grey university hoodie she slipped on before leaving. She brought her hands up and cupped her breasts, held up by a sports bra she found in her dresser. Her experience with them so far had been relatively neutral. Sure, they got in the way, but the way they felt on her chest, the exciting jiggle each time she stepped...felt kind of nice...

A familiar ring came from her backpack. It was familiar not because she had heard it before in her proper body but because she remembered it from one of the memories unlocked earlier by Eve's scent. She reached down to the backpack between her legs on the car floor, which she hastily took with her, only knowing to take it by an instinct or muscle memory.

Alexis slipped her phone from the side pocket and gazed at the screen. A message from someone named Yua was displayed. A penguin woman's face accompanied it. "Big test today! Don't be late! :3" Alexis wished she could answer or do anything with her phone, for that matter. But alas, the four-digit password barred her entry to the library of information she could use to familiarize herself with her reluctant life.

She looked up and stared out the windshield, then at Eve. The skunk gave her a returning glance, then a double-take, her passive look turning confused. "What?" She asked. Alexis didn't answer, only turning her gaze back out the windshield, an ingenious plan materializing in her feline brain.

If Eve's scent unlocked all those memories of the two, then some of those more recent ones must involve her unlocking her phone. She remembered seeing the picture of the two girls on the couch. She thought back to that night. The laughs they shared, the tears, the popcorn... Her eyes snapped fully open. The memory of one of their giggle fits caused by some random meme she had seen on her Snoutbook feed burst into her mind.

She closed her eyes and focused, the image of herself picking up her phone from the couch playing over. She imagined herself picking up the phone and...

Alexis typed 9,6,6,4 into the keypad. She let out a whispered "Yes!" as the screen unlocked, allowing her access to her life. Eve looked over for a moment with an even more puzzled look. "You good?" She asked. Alexis began furiously poking through every bit of information she could from the phone's various apps, grinning ear to ear. With the new access to her phone, partnered with the ability to unlock parts of her past with people's scents, she felt a lot more confident navigating this strange world she found herself in.

"Yes, Eve, everything's great."

Alexis spent the rest of the ride to school staring at her phone, going through the bits and bots of her presence on social media and in messages. She perused "Kitter," this world's version of Twitter, and studied the "Whiskord" server she had apparently made for her Twatch community. From what she gathered, she was hosting a well-anticipated debate between two other streamers in a week. She'd have to deal with that when the time came. Hopefully, she'd be back in her own body by that time and wouldn't at all have to deal with it.

Other than some dating apps, she hadn't the time to check much else. She thought to answer the penguin's message. "Didn't forget! Eve and I and on the way!" The vague memories of Eve and the penguin showed her that she was at least acquainted with the skunk.

Alexis' attention was severed from the phone by a lurch as the car stopped. She looked out the windshield at the campus before them. The place was buzzing with people, all, as expected, not wearing pants. Eve let out an exasperated sigh.

"Ugh. Ok, let's get this exam over with." Eve seemed so ready and confident earlier that morning. But now, Alexis could make out the budding dread on her face. The memories of herself tutoring the skunk for weeks let her know how much Eve struggled at their subjects. Alexis felt sorry for the skunk, so she put a furry hand on Eve's, gripping the steering wheel.

"Hey, It'll be alright. We, uh, prepared for this, right?." She replied softly with a reassuring tone. Their moods had swapped since leaving the apartment. From what Alexis could tell, the memories of them studying, the tigress was a natural at her studies. Perhaps that's why she felt so sure of herself.

"I know," Eve sounded nervous. Her voice wavered enough that Alexis thought she might start crying. "I just...I always freeze on these exams...and end up doing worse because of it." Alexis didn't really know what to do. Then, as Eve started to sniffle, Alexis sprang into action, thinking back to something she'd done in her old body during exams. She placed her hand on Eve's shoulder and spoke soothingly.

"Hey, uh, it's alright. If you feel like you're freezing up, just close your eyes and breath. Take a moment to center yourself, then continue. Also, do what I do, and go through all the answers. Do the ones you know are easy, then go back and do the harder ones, then you'll have more time to think and won't feel so overwhelmed." Eve looked off in thought, the welling tears in her eyes abating. Alexis noticed this and pushed a bit further in her reassurance.

"Look, you'll definitely do better than me today." She added, making a joke only she would understand. Eve looked over to her, the seeds of a smile sprouting on her face.

"Better than you? The straight-A sabretooth?" Her smile widened, voice steadying. She seemed wary of Alexis' suggestion. Alexis just snickered and buried her face in her hand.

"Yeah, I guarantee it. Trust me," The sabretooth added from behind her hand.

"I doubt it but...thanks for the advice, Alex. It helps a lot." Alexis heard some shifting in the car, then felt a warm fuzzy body connect with hers. Eve wrapped her arms around Alexis and pulled her into an all-encompassing hug. Alexis, not expecting this, withdrew her hand the best she could while snared by Eve's grip and returned the embrace, getting one arm around her neck and one around her back. Eve's musk filled her nose again, despite her scent already permeating the car.

"Yeah...no problem, Eve." Of course, Eve wouldn't know it, but her mere presence and minor actions helped Alexis a lot that morning. The tigress was glad to have someone like her guiding her that morning. It was cathartic having her there. Alexis never knew one could grow such attachment to a person, having known them for only an hour or so, but she indeed had with Eve.

The two uncoupled from each other, and Eve turned the engine off. Alexis grabbed her backpack from between her naked legs and reached for the door latch. She stepped out of the car and took a long look at the campus around her.

"Hey. Can we take a short stop by our lockers? I need to grab a few things before the exam." Alexis turned her curious attention to Eve, slinging her purse over her shoulder as she shut her door.

"Sure." Alexis stuffed her phone into the front pocket of her hoodie. Eve started across the grassy campus grounds, and Alexis followed her. The sabretooth's head swiveled to and fro as she studied her surroundings. The lush grass fields, the prestigious brick buildings, the...bottomless students going about their business.

Alexis very quickly found herself ogling the ladies as she walked by. And to her surprise, the guys too. Most of the females had bushels of pubic fur covering their genitals, but the males...the males had protruding sheaths and fuzzy sacks, just hanging out in the open. They excited her, made her blush under her fur.

It would seem that the girl whose body she inherited swung both ways. The idea of sleeping with a guy in her human body made her cringe, but now...it sounded ideal. She looked on at two jocks, a bull, and a wolf, as they passed by in their footfall jackets, talking to each other. Her head turned to watch them go, checking out their butts as they got further away. When she turned back, she saw Eve looking at her with a knowing smirk.

"Enjoying the sights?" She asked in jest. "Cause I know I am." She craned her head to see past the tigress, then gave a disappointed sigh before turning around and continuing on. "Too bad they're gay." Her words registered with Alexis, and the sabretooth's ears and tail flopped, sharing the skunk's disappointment. She contemplated for a moment about her reaction before catching up, unable to shake the budding fantasy of bouncing up and down on one of their rigid cocks.

The two weaved their way through the university paths and hallways until they reached their lockers. Eve collected whatever she needed while Alexis watched more bottomless guys go by. One of them, a very handsome cougar, noticed her checking him out and gave her a wink and sexy smirk, sucking his teeth as he passed.

Alexis turned red under her fur, bashfully pinning her ears back against her head and flicking her tail. She felt her lady parts warming between her legs, practically throbbing from his simple acknowledgment. Eve's locker door separated the two while she rummaged for her things. But when she closed it, the skunk got a full view of her flustered friend, fidgeting with her hands.

She noticed her expression and followed her gaze to the cougar strolling away in his tight t-shirt. Then, she turned back to Alexis.

"Damn, girl, you're thirsty today." She raised an eyebrow and took a quick sniff of the air, picking out the scent of the tigress' arousal. "Geez, I can smell you from here. You better cool down before this exam, or you're gonna distract me and everyone around us." She leaned in with half-lidded eyes and lowered her voice as she spoke again. "Can't focus on biology when I'm thinking about yours."

She licked her lips lustfully and brushed up against the horny girl. Alexis swallowed hard. If Eve actually expected her to 'cool down' before the exam, she wasn't helping. Eve brushed her hair out of her face backed off, having had her fun. "We still going to the Prowler for drinks tonight?" She asked, switching topics. "Max and Kevin are working tonight. Heard Max is getting off his shift early. Bet he could...get you off early." She smirked and gave the tigress a wink.

Alexis' composure leveled out as she wracked her brain for this 'Max' person. Vague memories of talking with the bouncer for the club Eve had mentioned popped up. At least the ones where Eve was involved. The image of a tall, muscular Pitbull-Dane mix dude wearing nothing but a spiked collar and tight black security shirt buying her a drink took up her vision as she looked on in thought. She snapped out of it When Eve let out a shrill, excited greeting.

"Yua!" Alexis gave a start and looked up, then to her left as a white and dark-blue figure entered her peripheral. It was the penguin lady from her phone. Before Alexis could react, the penguin already had her arms around her torso. She was much smaller than the tigress, by at least a foot. The penguin squeezed Alexis before backing off, not before Alexis got a good whiff of her scent, unlocking memories of the girl.

"Hey, guys!" She greeted in return. Her voice carried a sliver of an accent that Alexis assumed came from Asia. If such a place even existed in this world. "You guys ready for the exam?" She asked as Eve joined the two in a circle.

"As ready as I can be, I suppose. How bout' you?" Eve replied. Alexis remained silent, mauling over her newly unlocked memories. Apparently, Yua was an exchange student from overseas. She had taken the same courses as Alexis and Eve, which is how they met.

"Meh, I'm sure I'll do pretty well. I'm good with this topic." She paused and looked to Alexis, who stared blankly down the hall over the penguin's shoulder. "What do you think, Alexis? You seem kinda out of it."

Realizing it was her turn to talk, Alexis shifted her gaze to the girl. She wore a baggy white t-shirt with some stylized graphic of a sunset behind a Bonzi tree. Her black hair was tied up into two separate buns, each with dangling, ornamental strings that ended in cherry blossoms. She had trouble prying her eyes from the girl's beak, another oddity of this new world. What would it be like to have one? How would one eat? Kiss even? She brushed her red curls out of her face to answer, scratching the back of her neck awkwardly.

"Uh...yeah...I guess-" She was cut off by Eve, who interjected as an opportunity to tease her.

"Hell yeah, she's out of it. She's been checking guys out since we got here." Alexis looked at her, wide-eyed, then back to Yua, who giggled softly, covering her beak with her hand.

"Oh, I see." She replied. The penguin leaned in to whisper. "Are you...In heat?" Alexis reeled back in shock, mortified. Her ears were pinned back against her head.

"What! N-no!" She exclaimed. At least, she didn't think that was the case. She couldn't tell if she was. It was something she hadn't even considered until now. What if she was? The thought worried her. Eve just chuckled at Alexis' reaction.

"No, Yua. She's just a horny feline. Trust me, you'll know when she is." The skunk looked at the wide-eyed sabretooth. "How many partners did you end up having last year before you broke it? Like twenty-somthin'." She placed a hand on Alexis' arm. "I know the two of us must have done it like, twice a day at some point?" Her hand left Alexis' arm so she could wave herself into her following sentence. "Anyways, she helps me with mine too, so consider it mutual aid.

The more Eve mentioned it, the more memories of the two mammals played out in the tigress' mind. Images of the two, on the couch, in the shower, on the kitchen counter, and in each other's beds, lost in the throes of passion, made her blush harder than she had all day. She could feel the blood rushing to her lady parts. Her tail tucked between her legs in a bid to prevent her musk from flooding the hallway. She hugged it close to her tummy, beyond embarrassment.

"Can we not talk about this?" She asked under her breath. "Don't we have an exam to go to?" Eve brought up her phone to check the time.

"Oh, shit. Yeah, good call, girl. It's in ten minutes." Eve's mention of their time restraints quickly dropped the topic, and Alexis was thankful for that. The skunk locked her locker, and the three followed her through the building. Eve's mood had taken another turn. She didn't utter a word on their short journey there, clearly nervous about the exam. Alexis, tail still tucked between her legs, shuffled along, trying to clear her mind of lewd thoughts. Yua was the only one walking with any confidence, swaying to her hip as she marched alongside them.

The three arrived at the lecture hall and quietly filed in. The massive room was already full of students of various species, looking to Alexis like more of an African watering hole than a class. Nevertheless, she followed her two friends to the professor's desk at the front of the hall, placed in front of a giant, semi-curved whiteboard. A wheeled ladder attached to a fixed rail above the board was pushed off to the side for lectures where the subject required copious visual accompaniment.

One by one, the girls were handed their question papers with a blank scantron strip for penciling in their answers. Alexis took hers from the professor, a grey-muzzled kangaroo wearing a corduroy jacket over his sweater and a red bowtie. She hated taking tests. She figured that part of her life was over with long ago. But that was in her human life. At least as Aaron, she'd be able to prepare for the subject rather than being thrown into the flames by whatever mysterious force decided to wake her up in someone else's life on the day of the exam!

With tests in hand, the three girls found a few empty seats halfway up the stairs and sat themselves at the half-desks. They waited for the professor to begin the exam, looking at each other nervously. Alexis noticed Eve biting her lip and fidgeting with her hands on her desk. The tigress thought to place one of her own hands on the skunk's. They met each other's eyes, and Alexis gave her a warm smile.

"You'll do great. Just breathe and remember what I told you." Eve nodded in turn and closed her eyes to take a deep breath. Alexis stroked the girl's knuckles with her thumb. Then, after a few more long minutes, the greying kangaroo strode over to the door everyone had entered through and reached out to close it.

One last student, a raccoon, rushed through before his hand met the handle. The professor sighed and gestured the raccoon to his desk to grab his test, then shut the door with a hearty clasp. He walked back to his desk and leaned backward on it with his hands. The whole hall had its attention on him, falling completely silent.

"You will need a pencil for this exam, mostly for the scantron. Other than that, you may use whatever else you have to write on the question sheets. Everyone must have their phones on silent. If I hear your phone go off or catch you using any device during the exam, you will be asked to leave and receive a zero." Most of the students, including Alexis and her friends, shuffled about to power off their devices. When everyone was finished, the professor continued.

"Excellent, When you are done, you may come up to the front, hand in your exam, and exit the hall to enjoy the rest of your day. Remember, no talking, no looking at others' papers." He sounded like he had given these exact instructions years over, merely going through the motions at this point. "Alright, you have an hour and fifteen minutes. After that, I will ask you to stop and hand in what you have. Please pencil in your name at the top of the scantron." He paused and looked around at the room of nervous students. "You may begin."

The sounds of paper fluttering filled the lecture hall for a few seconds. Finally, the professor stood up straight and walked around to his chair to sit down. Alexis flipped the blank paper over that covered the question sheets, all of which were stapled together.

The title read: Genetics and Sequencing: Final Exam. Alexis let out an exasperated sigh. Her post-high school studies from her previous life had been in telecommunications. There was no way she was going to pass this test. This was going to suck...hard.

She wrote her name on the top of the scantron and leafed through the questions. They might as well have spoken gibberish.

"Ok." She thought to herself. "It's multiple choice. If you fill in random bubbles on the scantron, you're bound to get some of them right. Maybe if you're lucky, You'll even pass." She was highly doubtful, however. It's not like this mattered, right? If she managed to get back to her previous life, who cares what score she got? But what if she couldn't go back? How could she pass the rest of her courses, or start a career if she did? She knew nothing about biology beyond high school, nor did she care to.

Alexis brought her pencil to the first bubble to pencil in the 'A' but couldn't bring herself to do it. Something deep inside her knew she was better than that and could do better. She put the pencil down, sat back in her chair, and closed her eyes, taking a deep breath, just as she instructed Eve. It worked in ways she had not intended

A plethora of scents tickled her nose, breath after breath. The amalgamation of the various people around her unleashed memories unto her mind. Memories of every lecture, every assignment completed, and test taken. She envisioned Eve and her studying together, the tutoring sessions. Everything she needed to know for the exam sprang to the forefront of her mind. It was like an ancient library of hidden knowledge being unearthed, its information being illuminated by the brightest lights money could buy.

She opened her eyes and returned to the questions, reading the first one over again. She didn't even get all the way through before knowing the answer. She still read it for context, but her pencil was already filling in the bubble on the scantron, free of doubt. The same thing happened with the second question, and the next after that.

Before she knew it, Alexis had most of the questions answered in forty minutes flat. She struggled with a few, but she didn't mind one bit, considering how easily she answered the others. She could afford a couple of mistakes.

With the last bubble filled on her scantron, the tigress put her things away in her bag and stepped carefully behind those still working on their tests. She descended the stairs toward the front with a confident gait and dropped her test on the professor's desk. He watched her as she approached, her being one of the few to finish so early. He gave her a respectful nod as her eyes met his, then motioned for the door where she entered from.

Alexis exited the hall and found a spot to lean on the wall outside to use her phone while she waited for her friends. She wanted to see more about this 'Max' character Eve was talking about. But she didn't get very far in her search. By the time Alexis opened her Snoutbook app, Yua was already heading out the door. The penguin looked around until she saw Alexis, then joined her against the wall.

"Man...that test was easy." The girl said confidently. Alexis looked up from her phone at her.

"Yeah, seemed to go by pretty fast." The tigress crossed her arms under her breasts and clutched her phone at her side. The penguin squeezed Alexis' arm.

"No kidding, you got out of there even before I did!" She turned to look back at the door. "I hope Eve's doing alright." Her words took on a somber tone.

"I'm sure she'll be fine. She's just a little stressed, is all." Yua and Alexis continued talking with each other while an increasing number of students filtered out of the lecture hall. Yua did most of the talking, with Alexis nodding or giving a short response to acknowledge that she was listing. Eventually, Alexis noticed their skunk friend walk through the door.

She looked exhausted, traumatized even, like the final girl in a slasher flick, walking away at the end, having 'slain' the killer. She saw the two and shuffled over, spreading her arms and planting her body on Alexis', wrapping her arms around the sabretooth's back. Her face buried itself in her tall friend's bosom. Alexis and Yua shared troubled looks.

"H-how was it?" Alexis asked cautiously, angling her head down and returning the hug. The skunk just groaned into her chest. "That bad, huh?" Eve turned her face to speak, still using Alexis' chest as a pillow.

"I...I dunno..." Her voice was gravelly, and both other girls could make out how red and glossy her eyes were. She sniffled. "I don't know why I'm so bad at this subject. I've been struggling all semester." She blinked, and tears ran down her furry cheeks. "Why is it so easy for you guys, and I have to suck so hard?" Her body shuddered as she began sobbing.

"Awww, Eve..." Yua cooed. The penguin stepped up to Eve and joined in on the hug, pressing the skunk between the two into a type of affection sandwich. "You don't suck. You're just...having some trouble. Everyone has trouble with certain things. This is just your thing."

"I don't know why I chose to major in biology." Eve paused to sniffle. "I've been doing mediocre in my studies since we started school here. I don't even like biology that much."

"Why'd you take it then?" Alexis asked.

"Honestly?" Eve started, "So the two of us could still hang out together...." There was shame in her voice. The other two fell silent as Eve cried into Alexis' hoodie.

Alexis couldn't help but feel bad for the poor skunk. Tears of her own filled her eyes. The past few hours had been tumultuous for her, and all these new feelings her new body produced only compounded her problems. Eve wasn't the only one exhausted and emotional.

"I...I'm sure...Of course, we would've still hung out...Eve..." She spoke for an Alexis that couldn't, hoping it was something the 'real' Alexis would have said to comfort her friend.

Yua and Alexis continued to console the skunk while she cried. Gradually her sobs petered out, and the three separated from each other, Eve sniffing and wiping her running makeup off her face.

"You ok?" Alexis asked softly. Eve sniffed before answering.

"Yeah, I think so...I just had to get that out." She crossed her arms uncomfortably.

"I'm sure you did fine on the exam, Eve. It's all in your head, yeah?" Yua reasoned as she rubbed a comforting hand on Eve's shoulder. Eve looked down at the floor, mumbling her response.

"Maybe...I guess we'll find out in a week." Alexis thought of something she could say to cheer her up. Luckily, the club Eve had mentioned earlier popped into her mind, and she sprang at the idea that accompanied it.

"Hey! We're going to The Prowler tonight, right? So let's just get trashed and forget about the exam. A real girls' night out." She saw the light returning to the skunk's face. "I'll buy your drinks for you. How does that sound?" Eve looked up at her with a redeeming smile. Alexis just hoped to god she had the money to keep her promise.

"That actually sounds really nice, Alex. Thank you...I really appreciate it." She rushed in for another hug. Alexis raised her arms, surprised, but gently lowered them to hug the skunk back. "You guys are best."

"Of course, Eve. We love you, and we'll always be there for you." Yua said, "Well, I will until I move back home. Then I'll have to support you via Snouttime." She pulled her phone from her purse as an alarm went off. "Oh shit. Uh...I guess Alexis will have to do the majority of the support. I have a lunch date with that guy I've been seeing for the past couple of weeks." She giggled and tucked her phone away in her bag. "Feel better, Eve! I'll see you Monday!"

The penguin blew the two girls a kiss and left in a hurry. They waved goodbye to her while maintaining the hug until Eve released her grip on Alexis. She adjusted her hair. The mention of lunch made Alexis' stomach grumble.

"You wanna get something to eat?" She asked.

"Yeah. I'd like some comfort food right about now." Eve answered uneasily. She seemed to be avoiding her friend's gaze.

"Ok. What do you want?" Alexis tried asking cheerfully.

"I think I'd like some pizza, really bad." Alexis snorted, confident she'd be able to eat some pizza without 'mouth troubles.'

"Pizza it is...."

The two decided to go for lunch at the university cafeteria. They grabbed their slices of pepperoni pizza, then walked around campus while they ate. After, they took a leisurely stroll through the woods at the edge of the university.

During that stroll, Eve verbally dumped a bunch of her emotions and insecurities onto Alexis. Alexis listened intently, comforting her where she could but mostly staying silent. She felt it was better to keep her mouth shut, figuring any advice she tried to give would be inadequate.

After the woods, they headed back to Eve's car and drove home. Not before Eve gave her a "Thank's for listening. You've always been a great listener," and an unexpected peck on the cheek. The skunk's mood improved steadily on the ride home, and the two shared a decent conversation while Alexis subconsciously rubbed her cheek where Eve had kissed her. She thought back to what Eve said earlier about their heats.

As they pulled into the underground parking garage of their building, Alexis glanced at the address by the front door. 9664 Willow Dr. That was her phone pin! She smiled, knowing she'd figured out one more thing about herself.

They spent the rest of the day lounging together on the couch, eating ice cream and watching horror films. Eventually, dinner time had arrived, so Eve reheated some leftovers from the night before, before Aaron awoke as Alexis. Finally, Alexis found that she was getting the hang of eating with her protruding muzzle and dagger-like teeth.

"So, what are you wearing tonight?" Eve asked, taking the last few bites of her salad. Alexis stopped eating to answer, fork raised halfway to her mouth.

"Uhhh...No idea. I'll have to look through what's there." She said, resuming her meal.

"Are you going to wear any of these 'pants' you asked about this morning?" She had a sassy look on her face as she teased the tigress. Alexis' eyes slid half-closed, clearly unamused.

"Apparently not, since I can't find any," Alexis replied with an irritable tone. She didn't appreciate being made fun of over something that was part of everyday life in her world.

"How do you wear a...pant anyways? What is it exactly?" The skunk genuinely sounded more curious now.

"You wear them on your legs and waist. They cover your lower body." Alexis told her, very matter-of-factly. Eve looked at her, a jeering smile forming rapidly on her face. She put down her utensils and put a hand to her mouth, trying to contain laughter. This she failed at, as bad she thought she failed her exam. Eve snorted raspily through her nose for a moment before bursting into laughter. Alexis just sat there and took it, a stone-cold look on her face.

"What?! Why?! How would that even work with a tail?!" She steadied her outburst enough the make some serious criticism. "Why would anyone want to wear that? It sounds so constrictive." The skunk let out a few more giggles before continuing on her tirade. "Imagine not being able to see guys' junk. I bet those would even hide people's musks too. How could you tell they were 'in the mood'? Life sounds like it'd be pretty shitty with these things on your legs all the time." She paused, taking a drink of her water. "They'd be fun to take off others, though, like unwrapping a gift." She paused again to think about it a bit more, then let out a tired sigh. "Girl, you are too funny. Thank you, I needed that today."

"Yeah...pretty funny, right?" Alexis feigned agreement. She finished what was on her plate, pondering what Eve had said. She couldn't believe something she put on every single day in her human life would receive such mockery. Although, as she thought about it, what Eve had said made sense in the context of this world.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to make fun of you or anything. That was a little mean of me. Where did you think of this?" Eve asked.

"I had a dream about it last night, I think." Alexis fibbed.

"Sounds like quite the dream."

"Yeah, it felt like it lasted half a lifetime," Alexis somberly added.

The two cleaned up their dishes and went to their rooms to prepare for a night at the club. Alexis scoured her room for something appropriate to wear to such a place. She had only been to a few clubs in her human life, but obviously never as a lady. Looking at all the choices made her mind spin, all of them tops. It should have been easier to pick out an outfit consisting of only one article of clothes. But instead, it was the hardest decision she'd made all day.

Eve and Alexis stood in line outside the club, patently named 'The prowler' by a large, pink neon sign that hung above the door in blocky letters. The purple neon silhouette of a feral jaguar stalked across the name, flashing in three different stages to appear like it was walking across from the 'P' to the final 'R.'

Eve had her eyes glued to her phone, waiting for their turn to be let in. Alexis' eyes couldn't stay still, too enamored with the different nightlife roaming the streets outside the club. She took her attention off the crowds for a moment to adjust her outfit.

The sabretooth had managed to find a rather lovely top hanging in her closet. It was white and made of some smooth, satiny fabric that crisscrossed over her chest and down her back from her shoulders, just enough to cover her breasts and show off her shoulders and belly button at the same time. Both ends terminated around her waist, stitched to look like the whole top consisted of two long cloths she had wrapped herself.

Alexis kept her phone, keys, and wallet in a small leather bag designed to work as a backpack. It hung low on her back by its long straps, nearly resting on her rear. Eve looked up from her phone, then at Alexis, squinting.

"Did you not put on any makeup?" She asked, studying the tigress' face. Alexis turned her head to face the skunk with a slightly edgy look.

"Was I supposed to?" She asked back. Alexis never even thought to put any on, nor would she know how to. She had never once used makeup in her human life. So she'd have no idea what she'd be doing. Eve gave her a confused look.

"No one's 'supposed' to. I've just always seen you with some on when we go out."

"Oh..." Alexis murmured, unsure what to say. Eve put a hand on her hip, the other rested at her side, still clutching her phone.

"Do you want me to do yours real quick?"

"Uhh...Sure." Alexis answered reluctantly. Eve immediately swung her purse around her arm to gain access to the contents. She handed Alexis her phone.

"Here, take this. Just light up your face with it while I do your face." Alexis took the phone and held it up to her face as instructed. The screen displayed Eve's bright white 'Kitter' feed. The skunk rummaged through the bag, pulling out a black case the size of her palm and a small brush.

Opening the cane, she ran the brush over a multi-colored palate and reached up to apply it to Alexis' face. "Close your eyes, hun." She instructed. Alexis shut her eyes. "Geez, not that much...there we go." She flittered her brush over the girl's eyelids, periodically going back to the palate for more.

Once she was done, she put the case back and pulled out a slim black tube. She popped the cap off one end, exposing the pencil-thin brush on the end. She reached up with it, standing on her toes. "Ok, try not to move your eyelid at all. I'm gonna do your eyeliner." Alexis concentrated the best she could. It was hard when something cold, wet, and foreign was lapping just above your eyelashes.

Finally, the discomfort ended with Eve putting the tube back in her purse. Alexis opened her eyes, only to see the skunk pulling something else out. "Oh god, what now?"_Eve unscrewed the cap and pulled it off. A long plastic rod followed the cap, the end surrounded by tiny bristles. Alexis knew what _this was, at least, mascara.

Eve again reached up on her tippy toes and lined the brush up with her lashes. "Blink." Alexis blinked, then again and again, until Eve moved onto the other eye. When both eyes were finally finished, she put her mascara back and went for another item. This time a large brush and round case.

"Ok, just gotta do your blush, and we're all done." She paused to look Alexis' face over. "Gosh, you already look gorgeous, dear." The skunk flipped the case open and feathered her brush over its contents. She put the brush to the tigress's cheeks, dusting over them, a small amount of powder floating off, illuminated by the phone's light. Eve took a step back and examined her friend's face. "Perfect, all done." She handed Alexis the open case to give the tigress a look at the skunk's handiwork.

Alexis glanced at herself in the lid's small mirror. Her eyes opened at what she saw. Her face looked like it had been transformed, made into an art piece all its own. Her eyelids were the same shade as her red hair, made fiery by the brighter orange closer to her snout. Her eyeliner made her eyes pop, and the mascara made her lashes so thick and appear so much longer. Not to mention the light spots of blush on her cheeks, giving her the color her fur naturally lacked.

"Wow, Eve. This looks...amazing....Thank you." That was all she could say. She handed Eve back her phone and blush.

"No problem, hun. Now you'll look stunning for Max over there." Eve motioned her head toward one of the bouncers. Alexis looked up, unaware of the line's movement toward the door. There were only two groups of people ahead of them, and Alexis could see who Eve was talking about just beyond.

Max was a tall, muscular pitbull-dane mix of a canine man. He stood there by the club's entrance in a tight, black bouncer's shirt that showed off how much he probably worked out, most likely to deter fights and entice a mate, the latter working on Alexis the moment she laid eyes on him.

She could smell his scent already. It was the potent musk of a strong, virile male, driving the tigress nuts. She pinned her ears flat against her head and tucked her tail between her legs as memories of the nasty things the two had done in bed together appeared in her mind.

"Hey! Max!" Eve called, startling Alexis and turning the heads of people around them. Max looked in their direction. A snug grin stretched across his face when he saw them.

"Hey, girls!" He replied, a sly tone in his voice. He motioned them forward to the annoyed groans of the people before them in line. Eve grabbed one of Alexis' fidgeting hands and pulled her along to the front of the line. They stood before him. Alexis, overcome by shyness, refused to make eye contact, gazing around the ground instead.

"How's the night been, hun?" Eve casually asked. Max chuckled and crossed his arms.

"Not bad, as busy as it usually is on a Friday night. How bout you?"

"Oh, ya know, probably failed an exam, but whatever. Gonna get shittered and forget about it. Alexis is paying so..." Max turned his attention to the tigress. Still avoiding him while fidgeting with her hands.

"And how are you doing, gorgeous? You're looking nice tonight, more so than usual." He talked in a more suggestive, deeper tone when he spoke to her. It would be an understatement to say that Alexis' body responded positively to it.

"Uh...I'm pretty good...did well on the exam, I suppose." She answered sheepishly. Her eyes met his for the first time, and as she looked into those hazel pools, she felt her legs go numb.

"Good to hear, darling." His deep voice reverberated through her. His musk flowed into her nose. She felt her lady parts throbbing between her legs, growing moist. This was the most turned-on she'd felt all day. While Aaron had never been into guys in his own life, Alexis desperately wanted to jump him right there and ride him like a motorcycle.

"W-what time do you get off tonight?" She paused, realizing how that sounded. "Y-your shift, that is. Eve said it ended at midnight." Max chuckled, and Eve gave her a knowing look from the side. Alexis knew what she was insinuating but couldn't stop herself.

"Yeah, short shift tonight. I can give you girls a ride home if you like? Assuming you're not staying too late."

"Oh, I'm sure you'll definitely be giving someone here a ride tonight." Eve jabbed Alexis with her elbow, breaking the girl's trance. Alexis turned her head to the skunk and received a wink from her. Alexis just snorted, becoming accustomed to her teasing and too horny to be mad.

A couple walked out, linking arms together. Max's partner on the other side of the entrance noticed and blew a short whistle to get his attention. Max looked over to his partner, pointing out the two leaving the club, and turned back to the girls.

"Ok, you two can go in. It's ladies' night too, so...cover is waived." He stated, winking at Alexis.

"Thanks, Max. You're a doll." She mentioned as they headed in. "Oh, and that ride sounds nice. We'll take it."

"Sounds good to me. See you in three hours." He answered over his shoulder.

"Bye, Max," Alexis mumbled. Max mimicked a kiss to her from the door, the best he could with a dog's face. The tigress giggled to herself.

"Damn, Alex. You're thirstier than a fish in the desert today." Alexis hummed to herself, thinking about what being with Max would be like.

"Yeah, I'm thirsty alright, so let's get some drinks."

The next three hours seemed to fly by for Alexis, her perception of time altered by the alcohol in her system. When they first entered the place, the two girls found a two-person booth that had been recently occupied, judging by the wet rings still dotting the table. Alexis got their drinks, and the two sat for a while, people-watching as they sipped their fruity cocktails.

Later, Eve abandoned Alexis to talk to Kevin on the second floor, where he worked his shift. As Alexis' inhibitions gradually lowered, she decided to ease her loneliness and boredom by taking a chance on the dance floor. As Aaron, she had never really enjoyed dancing, avoiding it at all costs. But As Alexis, in her gorgeous body, with the alcohol and her raging hormones flowing through her veins, she was yearning for it.

She moved in place to the music's beat, shaking her hips in time with the rhythm. It wasn't long before she had attracted an admirer. Two orange and black striped paw-like feet entered her vision as she watched hers move. A tall, handsome tiger guy in a pink polo shirt stood before her when she looked up, casually moving to the beat.

"Hey, beautiful. Wanna dance?" He asked, leaning into one of her ears so he could be heard over the noise. Alexis' heart thudded in her chest. She bit her lower lip, gazed into his eyes, and nodded.

The tiger got closer to her, their hips nearly touching. Alexis felt herself blush under her fur, and she swayed her hips with his as she felt his hands on them. A toothy smile spread across her face, her body drunkenly moving to the music's rhythm in conjunction with his.

Something inside her told her to turn around, so she listened. She let him move closer to her so that their bodies ground together as they swayed melodically. Alexis felt his furry bulge grind up on her bare ass. So close were they without pants or undies. The sabretooth was swiftly losing herself to the heat of the moment, the dance floor, and between her legs.

The tiger's hands moved over her waist, hers reaching up to caress his face. He forced her rear into his sheath, and she could feel every contour of his maleness. She swore she felt what was the tip of his spiney member as it snuck its way out of its hiding place. Closing her eyes, she breathed long and deep of his musk, savoring his scent, struggling to maintain decency and not bend over to let him mate with her right there in front of everyone.

"Alexis?!" A semi-familiar voice shouted over the din of the crowd. "Hey!". Alexis opened her eyes to see Max standing there, no longer in his bouncer shirt but now in a silky grey button-up with short sleeves. His face showed a satisfied half-smirk, and his arms were crossed over his massive chest.

"Max!" Alexis shouted back, bolting from the tiger's arms and landing in Max's, which opened just enough for her to squeeze under. She ran her hands over his shirt, feeling his well-defined muscles.

"You're here!" Alexis exclaimed, nearly slurring her words. "I'm so glad you're here now." She nuzzled her face against his pecs and purred. Max chuckled and turned his head down to her.

"This guy giving you trouble?" He asked playfully.

"Nah, he's cool. But I'd rather dance with you." Alexis closed her eyes and leaned on him, tired and tipsy.

"Sorry, man, I didn't know she was your girl." The tiger explained, scratching the back of his neck awkwardly. Max gave him a wave as a friendly gesture.

"She's not really my girl, so...don't worry bout it, bro." His smirk shifted into a cocky grin. "Thanks for warming her up, though." Alexis giggled and sighed contentedly.

"I'm warmed up." She murmured, head swimming with booze. Max chuckled again.

"Yeah, you are." He cheerfully agreed. "Now, where's Eve? We should get you two home."

"She went to see Kevin," Alexis answered, face buried in Max's chest.

"Hmm, let's go back to your guys' table. Where is it?" He tapped his hand on Alexis' back and released her from his arms.

"Follow me." She commanded enthusiastically, grabbing Max's hand and leading him away through the dancing cluster of people.

They arrived at the table to find Eve sitting in a drunken stupor. Her head was cradled in her hand with her elbow propped up on the table's surface. She had a blissful look on her face. Her lipstick was somewhat smeared across her muzzle. The skunk gazed over at them with drooping eyes that perked when they met the two.

"Alexshish! Maxsh!" She greeted, slurring her words. They joined Eve at the table, flanking her.

"We're gonna go home now!" Alexis shouted over the cacophony of the club around them. "What's with your makeup?"

"Me an' Kevin made ooouuttt." Eve answered, giggling.

"I see. Well, Max is here so we can go now. You seem pretty drunk."

"And you sheem pretty hor-." A hiccup interrupted her. "Horny!" She laughed. "I know why you wanna leeeeave." Eve made a hoop with her finger and thumb, then stuck her finger in and out of it, giving them an alluring grin in drunken jest. Alexis and Max looked at each other, sharing knowing looks. Alexis wasn't even going to deny the truth spoken by her intoxicated friend.

"Yeah, exactly, and I'm not leaving you here by yourself. You need to get some sleep, not to mention some water." Alexis held her hand out for Eve to take. The skunk groaned with reluctance but ultimately took the hand offered to her and stepped out of the booth, nearly faceplanting. Alexis caught the girl, and the two more sober mammals helped her to the door. Max retrieved Eve's leather jacket from the coat check, and they headed out.

They walked around the block, occupied with pockets of drunken, chattering people, Max leading the way through the crowd to his car. It was a deep blue sedan that looked at least a few years old, a bit worn but not shabby looking.

"You should probably sit in the back with her," Max suggested, unlocking the doors with his key fob. "Just in case she, uh, pukes."

"Yeah, good idea." Alexis opened the door for the stumbling girl and helped her in, closing the door behind her. She turned to Max. "Thanks for doing this, Max." She smiled at him, gazing into his eyes, her hand absentmindedly playing with her hair. Max snorted through his nose and smirked.

"Hey, no problem. How are you feeling?" He reached out and lightly squeezed her arm, incidentally squeezing a giggle out of the girl.

"Pretty tipsy, but...perfectly capable of giving consent...." She let her words linger, staring at him with a flirtatious look on her face. Max chuckled and matched her look with his own.

"Is that so?" The two took turns flittering their eyes over each other's bodies until they heard the window roll down from the back seat.

"Hey, horndogs, can we go? I'm gonna...passh out back here." Eve berated them from the car. The two shared some sheepish chuckles and broke up, Max getting in the driver's seat and Alexis walking around to the opposite side to get in next to eve.

Max drove them away from the club and toward their apartment building. The ride would be twenty minutes or so before they arrived. They spent that time listening to music, chatting, and, at one point, Eve and Alexis cuddled up to one another, which led to a boozed-induced make-out session. Unbeknownst to them, Max had been watching them as they locked lips through the rearview mirror. In the darkness of his car, he allowed himself the liberty of touching himself while he listened to them, periodically taking his eyes off the road.

When they arrived, Max parked his car on the street, and the two ladies uncoupled, giggling to themselves. Alexis and Max practically carried Eve up to the apartment, and after much struggle by Alexis to get Eve to even drink one glass of water, the sabretooth led the skunk to her room. Eve, still in her clothes, collapsed on the bed and mumbled something unintelligible before passing out.

Her snoring carried across the room until Alexis closed the door behind her, leaving the two horny mammals alone in the hallway. She looked down and twiddled her thumbs while she twisted her foot on the carpet, feeling Max's eyes on her. She was unsure what to do, expecting him to make the first move.

As she felt his strong arms wrap around her, she turned her head up to his, and the two embraced in a passionate kiss. The kiss started reasonably gentle, but soon, they attacked each other's faces. Finally, they slowly backed down the hall until they were in Alexis' room. Max kicked the door closed with his leg.

Now behind closed doors, Alexis broke the connection of their lips and looked down at his chest. She fiddled with each button from top to bottom until his shirt came loose. He discarded his only piece of clothing on the ground, revealing his rippling muscles to her. Alexis' eyes went as wide as saucers. She placed her hands on his torso and ran them through his short fur, reveling in their glory.

The room swelled with the tigress' musk, a day's worth of increasing arousal finally coming to a head. It buzzed inside Max's nose, and before long, his red, canine cock poked out from its sheath. His own musk attacked Alexis' senses, and the two were immediately back to kissing, sharing as many horny growls as they did saliva.

Slowly but surely, they made it to Alexis' bed, where she had awoken so rudely that morning. Now, as she reached under her top to pull it over her head, her day seemed like the best of dreams, one she never wanted to end.

Alexis' breasts bounced free, to which Max lowered his head and took one of her nipples into his mouth. She moaned as her sensitive flesh was lapped over by his wide canine tongue.

"Oh god, Max," She breathed out. Her body shuddered, and a sharp yelp of pleasure sprung from her throat when he rolled her nub between his teeth. She overlooked one of his hands as it wandered between her legs.

A jolt of sensation shocked Alexis as Max's fingers explored her nethers. Despite being in her body all day, Alexis hadn't the time or privacy to do her own exploring. It was the first time anything made contact with her most sensitive parts. It felt amazing.

"You're a wet little kitten, aren't you?" Max teased. Alexis whimpered and squeaked out a "Yes," in response. He snorted arrogantly and continued to run his fingers through her folds, extorting a very feminine moan from the girl. Then, when his fingers were slick with her juices, he hooked them upwards and into her hole. She cried out, legs wavering enough that she was forced to lean on him just to stay up.

"Max..." She whimpered. Her hand clutched his shoulders for further support. She huffed and cooed and moaned in his ear. If this was how good a couple of fingers felt inside her, how good would his cock feel?

The mere thought of his canine member drove her hand down to his waist, where she took hold of his now fully erect prick. She stroked it tenderly up and down, listening to the manly grunts Max made as she did.

"Why are we still standing here when we could be on the bed?" He asked, voice gruff and domineering.

"I'm n-not sure." She answered, legs shaking. "But I can't stand much longer." Max withdrew his hands and pushed the tigress back onto the bed. She loosed an excited squeal and giggled as she bounced off the foam mattress. Naked and aroused beyond compare, Alexis looked up at the beast of a guy towering over her, cock standing proud at attention. She spread her legs, presenting herself to him, glistening pussy on full display from her furry bush.

"Such an eager kitten," Max commented, climbing onto the bed. Slowly, he prowled over her until they were face to face. He looked down at her with a smoldering smirk, and she looked up at him with a whimsical smile. Their muzzles met with a kiss, tongues exploring each other's mouths. Max reached down and took hold of his member, guiding it to Alexis' entrance. She felt the tip press against her pussy, and she broke their embrace.

"Put it in already, and fuck me, you handsome devil." Max gleefully did as instructed, pushing his tip inside. Alexis cried out an ecstatic moan, shutting her eyes tight. As Max pushed himself further in, she hummed in pleasure while biting her lip and gripping her bedsheets. Soon enough, Max had reached her cervix, pushing no further.

The canine thrust in and out of her leisurely, allowing the girl to get accustomed to its presence. She felt how it stretched and massaged her insides, every inward push forcing a moan from her throat. Her newly besowed parts felt so different from the penis Aaron had in his human life. And it felt so much better too! So many nerve endings were being stimulated, leading her to an intense state of bliss.

"God, you feel good," Max groaned, increasing the pace of his motions.

"Yeah?" The tigress got out between breaths. "Well, you feel fucking incredible." Max gave her a smug grunt in return. Alexis arched her back and bucked her hips in rhythm with his. She felt his hot, rigid cock rub up against a particular spot that caused a sensation that dwarfed all others, like mount Everest amongst the Himalayans. "Ohmygod! Right there, Max! Fuck yes!" He heard her cries of ecstasy and took note, trying to hit whatever it was she was talking about.

Alexis squirmed under her lover while he pounded into her, body on fire with the warm, electric sensations of mating. She wrapped her legs around Max's back to be closer to him and give him better access. With the inch she had given him at that moment, he took a mile, lust driving him now. He popped his canine knot through Alexis' entrance with a determined push forward and tied her to him.

Alexis' eyes shot open as wide as they could. The sharp and sudden pain she felt quickly slid away into a sustained tide of exhilarating bliss. The animal half of her took over in that instant, driving her into a nearly feral state. With a long, inward breath, she let out an earth-shattering roar, shaking the walls and ceiling. She let go of the bedsheets and wrapped her arms around Max's torso, pulling herself up off the bed and forcing Max to take on her entire weight with his powerful muscles. She spoke straight into his ear, growling and snarling her words out like a savage.

"Fuck me harder, faster. Fuck me raw, Max. Breed me like the animal I am!" Max groaned before attempting to say something back, body spent from holding the two of them up.

"Shit, Alex. I love when you talk dirty." He paused, grunting out. "Fuck...I'm gonna...."

"Gonna what, Max? Cum?! Good! Cum inside me! Fill my pussy with your baby gravy!" She howled out perverse nonsense, losing all control of herself. She knew she was barreling towards a hurricane of pleasure. She could feel it surging inside her. Her first female orgasm.

Alexis' claws dug into Max's back. He growled in pain, yet, the stinging pain seemed to only mingle with the blessed feelings the tigress's love passage provided. These sensations mingled, coalesced until his whole body shuddered. His cock was ready to burst, and he let out a long, drawn-out manly moan.

"Oh...Shit!" He croaked out, punctuating his long moan. Alexis' pussy quickly filled with Max's seed. His cock twitched and pulsed within her. But he kept going, jackhammering away, his hot cum squelching out of the tigress's snatch. Alexis was speechless, already well on a ride no roller coaster could possibly match.

She clutched close to Max's body, body ceasing around him. Enraptured moans spewed from her muzzle as she rode each wave of mind-bending climax. Tears ran down her face, ruining Eve's makeup job. She couldn't think of a better experience than this. Hell, she couldn't think at all, for that matter. She had died and gone to heaven for all she knew.

As Max slowed his thrusts, Alexis was granted passage back to the world her physical body still occupied. Exhausted, she released her hold of the dog man and fell to the mattress below. Max's knot popped free as she uncoupled from him. He pulled the rest of his member out and let himself fall next to her in the bed, totally spent. The two lay there, staring up at the ceiling, panting and heaving in the aftermath of their carnal congregation. Alexis was the first to say anything.

"Holy...fuck...that was...." She trailed off, still lacking the oxygen and energy to go on.

"The best." Max finished for her. "It's like...we had sex for the first time...all over again...only better." Alexis chuckled to herself between breaths.

"Maybe it was?" She asked, making light of her abnormal situation, knowing he'd have no clue what she was referring to. Max snorted through his nose.

"Oh yeah? How so? Did you just wake up this morning as someone else, trapped in someone else's body?" he asked in jest. Alexis' eyes went wide, not because Max had guessed her exact condition, but because she just realized Max had finished inside her. Something that had gone unregarded in the throes of ecstasy. She reached down in a panic, fingers touching the sticky, still warm semen leaking from her pussy. Further panic set in.

"Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck!" Alexis brought her hands to her face, smearing traces of Max's jizz on her forehead.

"What's the matter." He asked, slightly confused.

"We forgot to use a condom," She groaned into her palms. Max laughed.

"So?" was all he responded with.

"So?!" She retorted, a fit of shocked anger stoking inside her.

"Yeah, who cares? You're a feline. I'm a canine. We can't pass genes or diseases, so what are you worried about?" He turned his head to give her a confused look.

"Wait, we can't?" She asked, anger abating.

"Yeah." Max chuckled, grinning at her. "Aren't you a biology major? I'd thought you'd know that, from like, high school sex ed." He paused for a moment. "We've done this plenty before." He stared at her. Alexis turned her head to see the look on his face change into one of curious thought, like he was starting to discover there was someone else behind Alexis' feline eyes. His face told her something was off.

Thinking on her feet, or back, rather. Alexis faked a yawn and started to pick herself up off the bed.

"Right, right. Must have slipped my mind. Or you literally fucked my brains out." She stood up and proceeded to the light switch next to the door. Max Chuckled from the bed, a response that eased her anxiety.

"Well, hopefully not, or you'll have to kiss those good grades goodbye." Alexis' ears perked. Her finger flicked the switch, and the lights went off, leaving the lamp by her alarm, the only light source.

"Are you saying we'll be doing this for the foreseeable future?" She asked playfully. She began her journey back to Max.

"Of course. I'm assuming you'd like that?" He replied coyly. Alexis stood over him from the side of the bed, hands on her hips and a smug look on her face. She chuckled through her nose.

"Well, duh. I can't pass on another ride like that." It was Max's turn to chuckle. Alexis yawned and stretched her arms over her head. "It's been a long day, and it's one-thirty. I'm pooped. Why don't you scootch over, and we get some shut-eye?"

"You're not kicking me out?" Max asked, already knowing the answer. Alexis dropped the façade, her satisfied libido and returning sobriety allowing her some stoicism when talking with the canine.

"I will if we don't go to sleep. Now move over and get under the sheets."

"Yes, ma'am." He replied. He shuffled his naked body around the bed and got under the stained, red covers. Alexis climbed into the spot from whist she awoke that morning, sheets still pulled back from her freak out.

She thought about that morning, how panicked and confused she had been, and how she wanted nothing more than to get back to her human body. But that had changed, drastically so. As she reached to turn off the light, with Max cozying up to her from behind, things didn't seem so bad anymore. They seemed great, in fact.

She thought back to the night before when Aaron had walked home from the bar. She remembered seeing a shooting star falling through the sky and making a wish. It was for a better, more exciting life. Was this his wish, given form? She had to say, this new life was definitely more exciting than Aarons. But was it better?

As Max wrapped his arm around her front and pulled her back into his muscular body, all she knew was that she was no longer in a hurry to get back.
