Chapter 8: To College
#8 of Freindly Group
Hey long time no submission, if you didn't guess from the last story there's someone new coming into the story but just who is this panther/wolf and what's this business with being in his dreams. Read on and find out! That is unless your under 18, sorry kiddies but this may contain adult material, I'm typing this before doing the chapter, while it's in mind ^^ I'd forget my head if it wasn't stuck on my shoulders, pain though...the glue really itches =P anyway this is all fiction any relations to persons living or dead may or may not be coincidental, however those I am basing some characters off are happy with me doing so and give their full consent so stick it up your tie and fuck yourself if you don't like it.
Course that's not directed to those who enjoy these stories ^^ sit back and carry on.
I am sorry for any inconstancy's my memory's a sieve I'm guessing here and there.
Also to note I've had this story for a few months now but I've been meaning to get some people to proof read it, problem is when said people finally came online I'd totally forgotten, so that's avoided once again I'm putting it up now so there may be a few more mistakes, hopefully not.
Dave and tiger for the following two years held a happy and strong relationship for some years, there were the usual bumps along the way, in fact the two started to sound like an old married couple for a while before slapping each other out of it and getting on with their lives, needless to say there were many sexy times to be had. The two procreated frequently and passionately exploring each other vastly finding out what the other liked and so on. They kept this up at school too getting through without any trouble, and soon both were off to college, Dave wanting to go on and help in animal conservation, Tiger wanting to go into the music industry, already he was mixing. So while they went on to college though separated they stuck together, it helped with their weeks being split in half, the only time the two never got to see each other was Wednesday and Thursday, these were the only days their college days intertwined, the rest of the time one stayed with the other for half the time and then swap the next few days. That is at least how they've planned to do things. Both going to college for the first time they'd gone a little early to get settled in, using the time to get used to their living arrangments and had been following their visitation plan it was working pretty well though they missed each other those two days they were without each other they certainly made up for it.
Dave wasn't the only one from his old school to go into animals, in fact one of them was unknowingly down the hall, well she was to live just down the hall she was just putting the keycard through the slot while also trying to carry 4 bags, Soft blue almost grey eyes glared at the slot, if the thing wasn't an inanimate object, looks would have killed it. Finally it accepted the card and she hopped in, putting the bags down before she dropped them and then flopped onto the conveniently placed couch sighing in triumphant relief. Her button ears flicked a little as she rested a moment before getting up and closing the door and beginning to unpack her bags. The Panther/wolf hybrids fur was thick but velvety soft and kept her very warm on the most as a result she only needed light clothing that and being a very practical person she'd packed just more than the bare essentials to get on for a little while to get settled then bring the rest of her things over, granted it may ate a little while but she needed to establish herself.
There was one good thing about the on campus dorms, and that was the furs there weren't necessarily assigned to a room, they could move about as they wished, everything was catered for right up to the general household appliances and a TV, though channels outside of freeview cost extra, the students did get it at a 10% discount and it was usually split between those in the dorms at the time. Now as no one was assigned it was first come first serve though most were asked to find someone before hand to share a room with. Terri hadn't done that, she'd been one of the few people to come in and claim one so early though there were only a few left it just saved her the awkward moment asking someone to join them in their room.
Raising her long but thick canine muzzle she pulled out her name plaque, which had the addition of a penciled drawing of a Charizard head, out of her bag, opening the door briefly she slid her name into the rack and locked it in place outside, which now bluntly stated that Terri resided there and that she had first say in who got in, unless there was an over flow there usually wasn't but it was still a prospect. Purring lightly to herself she went back to the couch and flopped again curling her thick tail around and using it as a pillow she curled up and took a well deserved nap.
The following two weeks were dull and empty, Terri got a few advances from males all of which obviously asked for a decking but Terri had kept her calm and turned them away politely and if they persisted they got a door slammed in their face. Dave shared his presently with a corgi, Lemon unlike his name however he was pleasant to be around a little messy but okay none the less. Finally it was college induction the new students including Dave, Terri and Lemon they all had to be assigned to their groups.
Lemon was going into Horticulture, so he had to meet elsewhere however Dave and Terri both turned up to the animal management groups not seeing each other until in their group class room and while Terri didn't at first notice Dave he instantly noticed her. It was the thick plush tail that caught his attention, a feline habit had kicked in, his eyes trained on the bobbing black tail tip, he then followed the tail to a firm and feminine rump lingering for a moment before seeing the black furred canine features adorned with the thick velvet fur.
It had been a few years since the curious dream and though he'd gone to the same school as Terri he'd never seen her, but even still that dream had forever been vivid in his memory and to no shame he'd admitted it even to tiger who, had pawed off to it quite enthusiastically. But there she was quite literally the women of his dream sat somewhat curled up on a chair and scribbling away at a notepad.
It was so unreal but he didn't dare make an advance, instead he held back choosing a seat close enough to be seen but not easily get into awkward conversation as their lecturer was bound to make them get to know each other as was common during inductions. Things went okay for the first half our exchanging pleasantries with partners while their lecturer spoke to them one at a time to assess how they'd do and so one, after this they finally they were told to say something about themselves, anything did the job but it brought full attention onto each of them, and Terri hadn't thus far seen Dave.
Dave was the first of the two to go, though fifth in the class to go. He introduced himself in the formality of marmite, you either liked him or you didn't this humor had the majority of the class with him though he wasn't sure about Terri, who he now noticed was staring at him, in if he didn't know better, disbelief.
Now as much as fate seemed to be playing a hand here it had yet to play a card, it's final ace in the hole was that Terri herself had experienced a very intriguing dream that still to this day got her hot under the collar. Eventually he sat down again but she couldn't help glance at him on occasion, as it was her turn to speak she was at a loss to start but eventually opened her maw "Well I'm Terri, there's not much to say aside I stick by my friends, and don't mess with me, doesn't matter how big you are" it wasn't meant towards anyone it was just who she was, it was in truth the polite version, the more accurate being 'I'm Terri I am who I am and I stick by my friends, mess with me or them and I'll fuck you up' . As she spoke she held everyone's attention, her strong but soft voice held everyone's attention and especially Dave's.
From then they were given a tour and a starting pack giving them a breakdown of their days and where they had to be when, after this they had 4 hours including lunch to explore the campus and in their own time sort out anything they needed to do such as lunch passes or library cards. Finally let out to explore both Dave and Terri gravitated towards each other. Terri spoke first "Hey, didn't you go to Drake Darlington's?" she asked, the name of their old school.
Dave smiled as Terri too got closer though he was unsure why, perhaps it was just random coincidence, it's what he put it down to anyway. He was surprised she remembered him, a month or so after his dream he'd seen her at school though he hadn't met her properly till now he had no idea she'd had the same dream as him. "Yes I did, I think I saw you once or twice" he replied honestly Both of the oblivious to each other's dreams, they both wanted to investigate and became quick friends spending most of the day together, during which time both were dying to investigate the vivid dreams still fresh in their minds but neither brave enough to make an advance, while Dave had tiger, someone he loved immensely, Terri hadn't yet spoken of any love life, granted it was still early days but who's to know what could happen.
The day finally ended friendships had been established and going their separate ways both were still oblivious to the others knowledge, though having had a laugh at their living quarters being so close they went their own ways, Dave leaving for his shared dorm while Terri to her still empty dorm. Dave was the better off given these circumstances, while he could take his mind off of the day's peculiar and unrealistically coincidental day with the assault of his corgi roommate, Terri had found herself in front of her computer her camera aimed towards herself as she typed away. Telling the gryphon on the other side of the screen about her interesting day.
