"You guys really don't need to do this," Ashe groaned as Elliot opened the passenger door and offered a helping paw. Accepting the assistance she looped her hindpaw out the sports car and rose, further explaining, "I'm fine with what I have. You don't need to waste your money on stuff I don't need."

Ilaria fixed her leg and made her way over to the Arctic wolf with a beaming smile. "I know how you feel and all, but you only have those beat-up clothes of yours and Robyn's dress. You can get a job and buy your own clothes later, but until then you need something to wear, hon." She popped the passenger seat forward and allowed India to hop out the back of the cabin adding, "Besides, I cant have my new little sister dressed in rags."

"And I want you to look and feel as beautiful as you think you are," Ellie spoke up as he grabbed Indy's guide bar and brought it to Ashe's paw. "That and it'll be fun. I always love shopping with friends, hee hee."

"I know that squeak..." Adrian came around from the other side of Iolvin's jeep and threw an arm around his sister's shoulder. "Ellie here getting shopping fever again?"

"If that's a real thing, yeah," Ari chuckled in response.

Yoyo slipped out his car and locked it up tight with the press of a button. "We ready to go inside or are we gonna chit-chat in the parking lot?" He threw the rest strap of a nice SLR camera over his neck and steadied the device with one paw on the bottom of the lens adding, "I'd like to hit the camera shop first so I can snap a few shots while you guys do your thing. You know, see if it's really fixed or not before we leave."

"Sure, Yoyo. I'll go with you if you'd like." Ari started toward the shopping mall's food court entrance, pausing to groan, "Anyone else coming?"

"Yeah, yeah..." Yoyo followed behind her with the others leading Ashe in line. "So why the hurry, Lulu? I thought you hated the mall."

"Sort of... Just didn't like going here after the accident. Too much walking for a fur with only one leg." She stopped at the crossing from the parking lot to the main building to allow a few vehicles to pass, preferring to give them the right of way in lieu of a clear crossing for Ashe. "If I'm being honest I do have to say it still intimidates me. But Robyn's gonna meet us soon so it's worth it."

"Oh, so ~that's~ the reason. Can't even go a single day without her, huh?" Yoyo leaned in closer to one of her tiny ears and whispered an additional, "Had a good morning by yourself though, right?"

Now blushing quite noticeably through her fur, which was no easy task considering its darker color, Ilaria hurried across the crossing and went straight for the glass doors. "O-okay... So Yoyo and I are going for the camera shop. Where can we meet you guys when we're done?"

"Well, depends on what we're starting with..." Dee indirectly asked the others.

Ellie smiled as he proposed, "Well we could start from the ground up. A girl needs a good set of intimates before she can dress to impress, right?"

"Intimates...?" Ashe mumbled in an almost concerned tone of voice, her ears locking one to each of the fair-furred otters.

"Right, you would want to go there first." Turning back to Ari Dee confirmed, "I guess we'll be at Angelica's Mystery if you care to see Ellie squealing at every rack of lace."

"Gods, you guys really get that much into the whole cross-dressing thing, don't you?" Ilaria went to push open the door but Iolvin beat her to it, holding it open for everyone. "What a gentleman, hehe. Thanks."

"No problem, sis. Camera shop's that way," Yoyo pointed to the right as he caught up, soon settling upon the store itself just off an alley connected to the food court itself.

"Alright, we'll be off then," Ari said as she started for the store. Waving back at those who could see the gesture she smiled and added, "You three take care. We shouldn't be too long."

"We will! And don't worry, I'll bring Ashe back in one piece." Ellie waved back to Ari and then snapped his head down his intended path like his life depended on getting there. "Time to get something nice. Maybe even a few surprises for you, Ashe!"

"Well I guess you've got the whole mall map engraved in your head somewhere..." Dee sighed and found a path behind the two, shaking his head as he was led to the store in question. "So I've only been here once and I didn't exactly feel at home. Does wearing this skirt help me any?"

"It makes you look cute, sis. But no, it doesn't help." Stopping to peek through the front display Ellie's smile widened. "But having a friend working today does."

Dee paused at the threshold to the boutique and proposed, "Maybe I should just wait out here. I've got butterflies, you know?"

Ashe frowned at the concept and pulled on Indy's bar to stop her. "But you'll be all by yourself..."

"Sis, I was nervous the first few times too. You just need to make friends with the staff and they'll trust you more." Ellie gave a little paw-wave to a girl behind the sales counter and assured, "It'll be alright. I'll even buy you and Yoyo a few nice things if you come in. You can't wear those bargain-bin brands forever, hee hee..."

Dee stared at his sister for a moment and then threw his arms up with a sigh of defeat. "Fine, but I'm not looking at price tags. You've got the money in this family."

"Goodie! Alright..." Elliot brought the others to the front desk and smiled at his acquaintance. "Hey, Sarah! How you doin' girl?"

"Bored out my mind until I saw you! You know how ~dull~ weekday shifts can be?" The short bunny girl drooped her ears and leaned forward, ironically adding a more conspicuous look to her attempt at whispering between the two. "So, here to buy some more of those crotchless numbers? I told you they'd fit you well."

"No, no! I might get something if it catches my eye, but I have a few treats for you." Ellie placed a paw on Dee's shoulder and informed, "My sister here's never been to one of these stores, so we need to find her some goodies."

"You never told me you had a sister! Oh, she's so cuuuute!" Sarah gave Adrian a good looking-over and then smiled back, "Sorry, don't mean to talk about you to your face or nothin'. I just always wanted to know what Ellie here would look like as a full-blown girl, ya' know?"

"Umm..." tried Dee as he his his more easily-revealed flushing face. By the time he went full mint green on everyone he managed, "I'm... um... I'm not..."

"Wait, don't tell me..." Sarah took another moment to inspect the flat-chested, toned fur over the counter and quirked her head towards Ellie. "You mean the two of you do this? That's... pretty hot."

"Yeah, well DeeDee here's taken so I'd wipe the drool off my mouth if I were you," giggled Ellie as he brought his other paw to rest over Ashe's shoulder. "And speaking of, this here's Ashe. She's my current obsession and the real reason we're here."

"Ooh, so you finally bagged a good one yourself? Well you're quite pretty, hon. Nice to meet you." The bunny extended a paw to shake with Ashe's but only gained a puzzled expression after a few seconds when the two otters giggled to themselves. "What?"

"Look closer, dear. In case the pup didn't give it away, she's blind." Ellie giggled a bit more as he grabbed Sarah's paw and shook it himself. "She's honored to meet you too, I'm sure. I just think she's a bit nervous is all."

"Well... huh." Shaking herself out of a slight daze Sarah went around the counter and spotted the feral poolie, kneeling down to play with her corded fur. "Oooh! This is the coolest doggie!"

"Th-thanks..." Ashe finally muttered. "Her name's... India..."

"India, huh?" Sarah gave the pup a few final scritches and then said, "Well, I can look after her while you girls browse the shop. How's that sound?"

"She'll be able to see me?" Ashe asked with a bit more confidence.

"The whole time. We'll have a blast."

The wolf girl hunched down herself and gave Indy a few calming pats on her sides. "Okay. Be nice to this girl, Indy. No bites. She's a good fur." Looking back in the vague vicinity of the bunny's face she then mentioned, "She's all yours. Just don't mess with her... uh, tail... and she'll be a good girl."

"No tail. Got it." Sarah rose and placed a paw on Indy's guide bar, torquing it to show the dog over to a sofa near the counter. "The floor's yours girls. No other customers so far. Oh, and I'll make sure the first two changing booths are off limits except to you. I know how... delicate you like to handle things, Ellie."

"Great, thanks! And I know how much you like big commissions..." Elliot smiled and pulled out a credit card from his purse, placing it behind the ledge of the sales counter. "This tab's all for you, Sarah."

"Oh, such a convenient business arrangement..." commented Dee with a grin as he made his way towards a rack of erotic sleepwear. "So you want my help with Ashe?"

"Oh, I expect you to pick out a few surprises for her to wear for me one day. Need to get her size down first though..." Ellie looked over to Ashe and then to the back booths. "How about we pick out some more every-day things and we can swap off after trying them out?"

"As long as I get to see how she looks, it's a deal," Dee smiled back.

"You alright with that, Ashe?" Ellie helped Ashe back to her hindpaws and held her close. "No pressure here. We're just friends."

"Only..." Ashe leaned into Ellie and rebooted, "Only you get to touch, though. And he can't watch me change."

"Today's all for you, beautiful. You call all the shots."

[Chi-kak!] "Aha, a good one!"

"Yoyo, will you give that thing a rest?" Ilaria rolled her eyes and brought her coffee cup upward both for a sip of latte and to hide her face from her brother's camera.

Iolvin gave the viewfinder a quick check and complied with the request once he'd verified the image was clean. As he tucked his camera under an arm he commented, "You've been in a fit since we regrouped with the others. There something wrong, Lulu?"

"Not really..." She tried to feign that all was well but Yoyo knew Ari too well to let things slide. He didn't even need to say anything to get his point across, simply staring back with an odd combination of seriousness and aloofness that only he could pull off slathered across his face. "Fine, fine... I'm just wondering what's taking Robyn so long. She was gonna be here by lunch and we ate hours ago."

"I'm sure there's a good reason. You know how she always gets sidetracked on her own." Yoyo picked up his iced coffee and gave it a taste, taking the time to rearrange a pawful of shopping bags the other three had deposited into Yoyo's strong arms for the day.

The path clear, Ari took the hint and slid across the bench they'd been waiting upon and leaned on her twin brother. "You don't think she got into any trouble, right? Like an accident or something?"

"Shit, that's right... Sorry big sis..." Yoyo shifted his drink to the other paw and then brought the now-freed one to drape over his sister's shoulders. "I didn't mean to bring that up. I'm sure she's fine."

"What are you talking ab--" Ari's brain cut her off mid-sentence when it remembered her own accident and the events surrounding it. Quickly and lightly punching Yoyo in the gut she groaned out, "I didn't mean that either, idiot. Just because I was driving here to meet you guys doesn't mean Robyn'll meet the same fate. Besides, the chances of a drunk driver being out at these hours are laughable."

"Well... I'm sorry all the same. You've taken to your treatment and all damn better than anyone hoped." Yoyo nudged his camera onto his lap and pressed the image review key, showing his candid shot of his sister leaning forward in her seat, her elbows resting on her knees with the artificial one front and center, simply staring ahead like any other fur. "I'm proud that you're still ~you~ after all that happened, Lulu."

"That's... a good one. Make me a copy?"

"Yeah, I'll email you one later." Yoyo met his twin's forming smirk with one of his own, but that soon faltered when Ari's muzzle drooped into a minor grimace. "Okay, ~now~ what's the matter?"

"Those people..." Ilaria nearly started squinting her eyes with the intensity she was staring at someone behind Iolvin, realizing her expression and forcing herself to look down at the camera. "I saw both of them in the diner last night... Don't look at them but... angle your camera a bit to the left and a smidgen up."

"Like... this?" The camera shifted a little too far and Ari let Yoyo know with a shake of her head and a nudge of her snout in the right direction. "Okay... This then?"

Ari reached forward and acted like she was grabbing the camera to take Yoyo's picture, hitting the shutter release before actually gripping the frame. "I think I got it." With a faked smile she held the device so the lens was pointed at her brother, when she was in reality checking the previous capture rather than snapping a new photo. She zoomed in on the faces and then handed the camera over with a quiet but convincing laugh. "I remember that lion at least. Something about his face... but they were both there."

"A rabbit and a big cat. Not sure he's all lion, though. Lions don't have stripes." Yoyo sighed as he too tried to fake his expression to check the photo a bit more thoroughly. "Huh, the bunny guy's got a camera on us too."

"Well I'm not playing it off as coincidence just yet." Ari looked right into her brother's eyes and admitted, "I'm not cut out for prison."

"I think you're overreacting, Lulu." Yoyo held up his camera and clarified, "We're running around this place snapping photos too. Besides, the cops in this town wouldn't barely slap us on our wrists for petty theft let alone mount a recon mission." He put the camera back on his side and added, "Hell, they probably haven't even reported the damn stuff missing yet."

"Well they're giving me the damned creeps and I can't just sit here like that." Ilaria looked around in the strangers' general area and scanned her eyes right over them for a brief moment, attempting to examine them further without raising any red flags. Yet when she finally managed to get a solid look at the large cat, a 'liger' as it appeared, the otter jolted her eyes down and started shaking in fright. "We... Oh gods!... We need to get out of here!"

"Lulu? What's wrong?" Iolvin tried to lean in and grab her paw to comfort her but his sister shook him away. Instead he scooted himself closer and pressed, "Why the sudden freak-out, sis? There something going on with those two guys behind me?"

"That bastard...!" Ari reached out and presented her paw pad side upward. "Give me your keys. And make sure they can see it!"

Yoyo did as he was told, a baffled look scrunched over his face as he reached in his pocket and transferred the his car keys to Ari's paw. "Okay... So what's this all about? You're not gonna try and drive, are you Lulu? It's been too long and your leg--"

"No, just shut up and do as I say." Ari looked over to the clothing shop that the others were inside and ordered, "Go in and grab everyone. Leave the clothes if you can't just pay and get the hell out. When you see the coast is clear, make your way to the ice rink and I'll meet you all there. Got it?"

"I can do that, yeah. But why--?"

"Because that lion guy is the same asshole that raped me! I need to fucking get away from that stalker!" Ilaria hissed through her teeth and tried to calm her breathing, panic driving her into a fit of mild hyperventilation. When she settled to a more manageable level she stared at her brother's dropped jaw and sighed, "Just trust me, okay? I'll get them headed in the wrong direction and we can get the hell out of dodge."

"Y-yeah... If you think you need to do that I'll go along with it. But you sure you don't need any help?" Iolvin didn't have to wait even a second for a response, his sister glaring back a worried look. "Sure, Lulu. Just be careful, alright? I'll take care of the others."

As Iolvin stood and walked into the store, Ilaria gave the two furs a purposeful glower to raise their attentions. The moment they were both staring back at her, Ari slowly rose to her hindpaws and tossed her brother's keys in her paw playfully. Then once Yoyo was in the clear she suddenly bolted in the opposite direction as the strangers. The larger liger was the first to respond, giving direct chase and barking a command to watch the shop to the bunny who was desperately trying to figure out what was happening. Soon the bunny forcibly stopped himself fretting over the situation, deciding to give chase as well and inadvertently play directly into Ilaria's plans.

Ari forced her way through a few small groups of furs as she ran across the promenade, a pawful of the less fortunate ending up as obstacles for the unforgiving hulk of a cat chasing her. Once enough people had caught onto the chase however they began to clear a path, giving Ari a fairly straight run to the edge of the third floor's walkway before it split around a clearing. She sprinted directly for an escalator ahead of her and leapt onto its metal divider, using it as a springboard to vault through the open air. The otter landed a bit rougher than she hoped on the outer side of a stairwell railing and then immediately kicked herself in the opposite direction with a pained grunt, landing on the second floor in a somersault that broke her fall.

As she looked back to see how the two furs handled the maneuver Ari dropped her jaw. The liger attempted to take nearly the same path as she did but ended up crashing through the bannister of the stairs, shaking the act off as well as shards of bloodied glass like they were nothing. Craning her body back into a running position Ari dashed off grunting, "Gotta be fucking kidding me!"

Ilaria found herself once again facing down unaware groupings of furs and having to navigate around them. Instead she started heading for the small kiosks littering the center of the boulevard. She leapt headfirst through one of the stands and rolled back to her hindpaws, bolting back into a run without much loss of momentum. Then with an apologetic wince she ran between two more kiosks, jumped, and kicked the flimsy build both for a slight boost and to send the booth crashing down as an obstacle. As Ilaria entered the department store at the end of this mall wing she looked back and spotted the liger shoving the kiosk aside with a growl, the rabbit friend of his not far behind.

Almost a fifty meters ahead Ilaria found her salvation, an obstacle brute force simply couldn't defeat. She sprinted with renewed vigor towards a pair of scissor-aligned escalators in the center of the department store, a grin already forming on her face as she imagined how the lumbering oaf would tackle what she intended. Reaching the impromptu obstacle Ilaria leapt down a few steps and grabbed the rubber railing tight enough her claws sank inside. Inertia and momentum played with the new pivot to sweep Ari's legs over the railing, allowing her to release her grip and fall onto the upward riding escalator of the pair. She ran up a few steps and then tried a similar maneuver as before, hopping onto the next flight with only a slight more exertion. Finally she attempted to swing herself over again to rest on the escalator heading upward to the third floor, though she found her metal hindpaw slipping upon planting it onto the metal stairs. Ari ended up sitting flat on her ass as she rode the diagonal lift to the top, listening through the light pain with a smile as she heard the liger tumbling down one of the sets of moving stairs.

"Serves you fucking right," grumbled Ilaria as she stood up to exit the contraption. Back on the floor she started on she jogged back to the same clothing store, examining the area for signs of her friends and family. "No bags, no Yoyo... Good."

"Ottah? You're bloody leakin'..."

Ari spun around as she caught her breath and stared at Robyn with a still serious face. "I had a, uh... Shit, I'll explain it later. We need to get out of here."

"Nice to see you too, love," Robyn moaned in response, walking over and snatching Ari's tail into her paw. "Seriously, we should patch this up. Don't need my Ottah gettin' an infection, yeah?"

Ilaria took a moment to examine a small laceration on the end of her tail, likely from being snagged in the escalator, and then forced her thick rudder free. "In a minute. We need to get down to the first floor, and not that way," she demanded as she pointed the way she came. Spotting a small bag in her girlfriend's other paw she said, "So hold that... ~whatever it is~ tight and follow me."

Robyn suspiciously took the small shopping bag and hid it behind her back as she followed the trail Ari was forging ahead and nervously explained, "It's a... a... a gift! For my dad!"

As they hit the downward escalator on the opposite side of the level and rode it down Ari got a good look at the flustered squirrel and asked, "You sure you're okay yourself? Your dad's not in town right now, is he? I know how silly you two get."

"I just... No, he's not coming..." As they rounded the first escalator and entered the next she rebooted, "Just forget about it. I'm sorry I'm late, Ottah. I stopped to get this and got sidetracked."

Ilaria hopped off the end of the machine with a wince of pain from her stump and began to limp to take her weight off of her bad leg. "I'll admit you had me worried there but--Gah!--but it's not important now. We just need to get out of here and I need to get off this damned leg."

"Oh look, are we all going skating?" Robyn smiled back as she spotted the others near the ice rink. "You'll have to stay near me 'cause I always fall down on those things."

"I wish we could, Munchkin. Sorry, but I'm serious about leaving. Another day, maybe. i'll make it up to you." Ilaria made her way over to the other three and stopped right in front of her brother holding his keys. "I think they bought it. They probably don't know if I'm driving away or still in the mall, not after how I lost 'em anyway."

"So you think we can sneak out?" Iolvin placed a few bags from one paw into the other and snatched up his keys. "The 'girls' here have an idea of where to hide out for a while... Well, sort of anyway."

"Sure, should be safe. I'm guessing they'll go back to The Gorge so we should have a few minutes if we move now." Ilaria took a deep breath and apologized to the others, "Sorry, guys. I didn't mean to cut the day short but--"

"It's quite satisfactory," Ashe spoke up as she wrestled with India. "I'm more concerned for your safety, sister. You performed admirably, considering the circumstances."

"Uh, smart mode?" Ari glanced over to Elliot.

"Out of drugs," he explained. "Place we're going might fix that, though."

"Well if could be a damn opium den and it would be better than here." Turning around and grabbing Robyn's free paw Ilaria reminded, "Better get out of here right now, guys. They'll go for the cars next."

"Sorry, who now?" Robyn demanded an answer, jerking against the otter's grip.

"Bad guys," Ari simplified for her. "~Very~ bad guys."

As they all started towards the nearest exit Yoyo jokingly chimed in, "I dunno. One of 'em was actually pretty cute," to which he only got an annoyed snort from his sister in reply.

---

"Okay, time for a damn drink," Ilaria groaned as she rounded a street corner and stared at a line of furs in front of a neon-lit doorway.

"Ah, Lumen... Always busy on a Friday night." Iolvin propped a paw on Adrian's shoulder as they rounded the corner and nudged his snout towards the entrance. "You ever been here, babe?"

"Oh, no. I never could get in without having to waste most of my night waiting outside." Dee adjusted the strap of his dress after Yoyo slid it askew. "Never even tried actually. We're not waiting here are we? There's other places--"

"I know the bartender tonight. He's in one of my classes," informed Yoyo.

"Oh, there they are," Ari spoke up as she spotted the others on the opposite street corner. "Hey guys! Over here!"

"Parking's a bitch over here!" Robyn shouted back as she waited for a car to pass. Once they all made it safely across the road Robyn gave Ari a low hug and cheered, "Ready to get your party on, Ottah?"

"I'm not really in that sort of mood, sweetie. Been a rather..." Ari paused to take a look at Ashe, the girl apparently changing into a club-dress on the way over. "... uh, strange day. Who's idea was that?"

"She wanted to wear it so we let her change. You should see some of the things Ellie got her, too. Girl's got a ~nice~ wardrobe now."

Looking right at Elliot as they all headed for the entrance Ari queried, "So you were planning on coming here all day then?"

"Ashe needs a pick-me-up since she's out of her stuff. I figured since she likes the kind of music they play here..." Ellie paused for a moment to smile at a warthog that was bouncing for the club that night and he moved aside to let the otter through. "Hehe, good to be a regular."

"Hey, that your sister? Thought she never came here," the bouncer asked as he offered to let Dee through as well.

"Yeah, she's a cutie isn't she?"

"I'm not sure about that... Wait, I could have come here whenever I wanted with you?" Dee frowned as he walked by to join his sister.

"Hey, your friend there needs to show some ID for me, doc. You know the rules." The warthog stood in Ashe's way and pressed, "C'mon toots. Show it or shove it."

"But I don't... uh..." mumbled Ashe as she bumped into the burly guy on accident.

"Hey Rolo, she forgot her ID but I can vouch she's nineteen," Ellie explained with a cute, innocent voice. "Give a blind girl a break?"

"Oh, no shit? She's blind?" The bouncer took a better look at Ashe's eyes in the dark and even waved a hoof in front of her face. "Alright, but if she's carded inside you say she lost it on the floor. Capiche?"

"Yup! Thanks Rolo!" Ellie snagged Ashe by the paw and dragged her inside, a squeal of delight slowly becoming more and more drowned out by the bass of the electronic music as they went inside.

"Hey, what about us?" Ari huffed as she watched the two disappear into a haze of stage lights and artificial fog.

"Well, what about ya'?" Rolo grunted back. "Either show me a reason to let yous guys in or get in line."

"Andy owes me a round or two," Yoyo spoke up. "Said he was working tonight so I thought we'd take him up on it."

"And you're 'Yoyo' I take it? Yeah, he said you might be comin' one of these days. Yous all looks good... Sure, go on in."

"Thanks, man. Rolo, was it?"

"Roland. We're not that close yet, buddy," the warthog corrected as he stepped aside again.

"That's cool. Just trying to be friendly." Yoyo let the girls head in ahead of him and then followed with a wave at the bouncer. "Nice meeting ya', man."

"So this guy really owe you? 'Cause I'm hitting the bar first thing," Ari spoke up, raising her voice as they walked deeper inside to counteract the loud music.

"Just take it easy, sis." Yoyo spotted the bar to the left of the room and pointed the others to it. "Don't make me explain to mom why I'm dragging you through the front door."

"Yoyo!" a voice cried out from the bar.

"Andy?" Iolvin glanced about and found the border collie on the far end of the bar where there were a few seats free. "Oh, got ya'. How you doin', buddy?"

"Busy, but it's a good night. New deejay on the floor so the tips keep rolling in." Andy spied the two girls with Yoyo and joked, "Come to make the most out of that bet, huh? Goodbye tips."

"Maybe. This is my sister I've told you about and her girlfriend." Yoyo came up to the two free seats he'd found and offered them to the girls, Robyn waving a paw at the gesture. Taking her seat for himself he then asked, "You see a couple of light-furred otters and a wolf go by? We lost 'em on the way in."

"Nah, but I'll keep an eye out." Andy dropped a double shot glass in front of Yoyo and yanked down a top-shelf bottle of vodka before pouring the otter his owed drink. "That's the one you like, right? And for you lovely ladies? It's on the house."

Robyn leaned up against the bar top and deferred, "You make a good gin fizz?"

"Why yes I do. One gin fizz coming up for..."

"Robyn. Sorry, I'm not used to getting chatty with bartenders," admitted the squirrel.

As he worked on the concoction Andy looked over to Ari as she sat down and further asked, "And you're 'Lulu', right?"

"Sort of," she grumbled as she looked to her brother. "He's the only one that really calls me that. Call me Ari."

"Ari? Is that short for anything?"

"Scotch, neat and dusty," Ari huffed back, obviously not in the mood to chit-chat at the moment.

"Lulu, don't be rude. He's a friend," Yoyo attempted to amend the situation.

"Nah, it's alright. She's still doing better than the hard drunks." Andy finished up Robyn's drink and cleaned up a tiny spill on the side of the glass. As he placed it down in front of her he continued, "There ya' go Robyn. And one gloomy special for you, Ari. MacBride's work for you? That's the oldest we've got here."

"Honestly it doesn't matter. I just need a drink," Ari huffed back as she slid her eyes down to the patch of tabletop in front of her.

"Sis..."

"Nah, I got this Yoyo." Andy placed a tumbler down and uncorked an indeed dusty bottle of scotch with half its label peeled off over ages of abuse. "So, you're obviously not here to dance. And your girl's here so it's not anything in the love life." He poured a generous, almost triple, serving of the dark amber liquor and corked the bottle, placing it on the counter for the girl. "Care to share? I'm a good listener."

Looking to her sides at the others Ari quirked the corner of her mouth and mumbled, "I'm not sure that's good for company..."

"So, want to find the others Robyn?" Yoyo spoke up, obviously trying to give his twin sister a bit more space.

Catching on to his plan after a few seconds of pondering his tone, Robyn perked up and agreed, "Yeah, but only if you take me out for a dance too!"

Ilaria chuckled to herself a bit as the two took their drinks and walked away. "Right, that's my brother for you. Cares about me too much."

"And I'm guessing he's not what's on your mind either then." Andy spotted a customer flagging him down and reached to refill his glass, returning with, "So now I'm curious. What's the matter?"

Ari picked up her drink and downed about half of it at once with a few heavy gulps. "You're not telling Yoyo any of this. Got it?" A simple nod of the head was all she needed to continue. "Well let's put it this way. Which one's worse, being chased down by a guy that raped you after he decided to stalk you or fucking your own mom?"

"Ahh... Come again?" Andy watched as Ilaria took down the remainder of her scotch and raised, "Hey, you're going too fast there Ari. You're talking gibberish already so slow down."

"What, this? I haven't been drinking 'till now so..." Ari shoved her glass forward and nodded toward it, but her signal to refill was ignored by the bartender. Grabbing the bottle herself and pouring another finger of the liquor she then said, "Dunno, doesn't seem to be that strong. And I'm not fucked up. So give me an honest answer, pup."

"Well... Shit. I guess if you saw it differently than most making love to your mom wouldn't be so bad. Rapists are just evil so that takes the cake." Andy went to snatch the bottle back into his possession but Ari beat him to the chase, replacing it with a few large bills of cash a pawful of seconds later. "Damn... that really happened to you didn't it? That's a damned shame..."

"Well..." Ari took down her glass again and then started to refill it, surprised herself that the alcohol wasn't taking effect yet. "...I wasn't fond of the fuck myself. But now that you mention it I do suppose what happened with my mom was... beneficial to us both in different ways."

"If you don't mind me asking, how exactly did that happen anyway?" asked the collie as he spotted another customer needing assistance.

Once he was back from pouring two more drinks Ari had already poured and downed another shot of her single malt. "Since we're keeping secrets anyway... She's in heat and I sort of have the right equipment to fix that. And she recently found out about that fact... which I don't think she was totally comfortable with until this morning when we... you know."

Spying the bottle was much lower than when he first opened it Andy commented, "Well you can keep the details to yourself, Ari. Nothing against you but I don't need to hear about anyone's dick. But if you think that's helping you and you mom get closer together, then good luck with that. Just don't get carried away, I guess."

Looking down at the booze she shrugged and asked, "this stuff's got alcohol in it, right? I mean, it burns going down but..."

"Maybe it has something to do with that... well, glowing heart thing of yours." Andy pointed towards the roughly heart-shaped glow coming from beneath her shirt. "Yoyo sort of blew me off when I asked about his."

"Nano-tech. Can't go into too many details but..." Ari looked further down at her blouse and chuckled, "yeah, that might have something to do with it. And here I was, thinking I'd get fucked up tonight."

"Nah, you don't need that. Be with your friends, your brother..." Andy leaned in close, ignoring two customers for a moment. "You've got a good head on your shoulders and I can see you've got a heart to match." He hinted with his eyes at the device in her chest, but accidentally snuck a peek down her top in the process. "Uh... You'll be just fine, Ari. So get out there and have some fun."

"I'll..." Ari noticed the collie's line of sight and backed away from the bar top, taking the bottle and glass with her. "Uh, I'll go find the others then. You see where they went?"

"I see that nice squirrel of yours dancing out there with that wolf Yoyo mentioned." Andy squinted for a moment attempting to get a better look through the laser lights and glow sticks on the floor. "Damn, that girl's pretty. The wolf's not taken is she?"

"Ick, sorry... She's dating one of our other friends." Ilaria stood up and gave the collie a smile. "Thanks for the chat, Andy. I'll try and take your advice."

"Always proud to help, Ari. Nice meeting you." Andy waved a paw as he moved over to tend to his persistent customers. "And careful with that stuff!"

Ari grinned and gave the collie a wink as she headed over to where Andy spotted Robyn. Getting closer to the dance floor she found Yoyo sitting at a table with various purses and a jacket on the surface as well. "So you're not dancing either? What about Dee?" she queried as she sat down next to her brother.

"Oh I'm not a dancer, you know that. And the others are having a blast anyway." Yoyo took his eyes off Dee and Robyn dancing like giddy idiots together and gave Ari his full attention, his expression turning sour when he saw her bottle was hitting its halfway point. "Damn, sis. I thought I told you not to get shitty."

"Actually I think I could down the rest of this right now and only have a buzz. Nanites work a little too well now." Almost as an example Ari poured another glass and downed a fair amount of it with a wince. "Still tastes the same going down though."

"Well as long as you're not hurting yourself..." Yoyo cut himself off and changed the topic. "So everything alright? Andy really is a good listener."

"Yeah, and he is. Might be a bit of a perv too, but who isn't?" Ilaria looked out onto the dance floor and found Dee paired with Robyn, but she couldn't spot Ellie or Ashe at all. "Andy saw Ashe at some point so... You find Ellie yet?"

"Now that you mention it, where did those two go off to?" Just as Iolvin started to scan the room however the two bumped against the table hard enough to make Ari grab her drink. "Well that's one problem that solves itself, I guess..."

"Ooooh..." Ashe fell backward on the table, instantly justifying Ari's precautions when she threw most of the contents onto the booth seats. "I want us to be one! Can't you just forget that crap for now?"

Ellie hunched over the wolf girl and gave her a deep kiss. "Mmm, but I don't want to ruin this... beautiful... Woah..."

"Uh, okay. That's different," Yoyo commented to his twin.

"Yeah... Ellie? Ashe?" Ari tucked her bottle between the cushions of the booth and found a tiny packet pills that Ashe had dropped in her fall. "Shit, they're both high on something new."

"But it feels so warm and wonderful!" Ellie giggled as Ashe kissed along his neck.

"You know what else feels that way...?" Ashe huffed out through his fur. She trailed down from Ellie's shoulder to find his paw and then brought it down between her legs, a light moan signaling to everyone exactly where she let it rest. "Please, Elliot... I'm all ready for you..."

The twins looked at each other and then back to Ellie as he said, "Well... fuck. Just this once."

"They aren't..." Ari pinged her brother.

Yoyo's only response was to reach out for the bottle of scotch and say, "I think I'm gonna need some of this too."

Ellie reached under his dress and pulled down his panties, his rising erection soon grinding against the front of Ashe's own dress. "You sure you want this here?"

"Grrr... Ive been dying to feel you in me..." Ashe gasped as her new lacy red thong was pulled down and her dress was hiked up. "Take me, handsome."

Ilaria subconsciously leaned forward for a better view as she watched Ellie almost drunkenly try to line up his tip with Ashe's lower lips. He rubbed up and down to lubricate himself with the wolf's juices, even going so far as to roll a slathered finger around beneath his foreskin. When he finally got things to his liking, Ellie tried again to find his target and ended up pressing his entire length into Ashe with his balls slapping at the end.

"Fuck, it's just like Dee's..." Yoyo commented as he took a long swig of the scotch with his one paw, his other mysteriously hiding beneath the table.

"Too bad DeeDee don't like hot, tight pussy like this..." Elliot groaned as he pulled back and firmly planted himself once again down to his ball sack, his tip kissing up against Ashe's womb when he pressed as hard as he could manage without losing his footing. "Gods... I forgot how ~soft~ you were, Ashe!"

Ilaria reached down to tame her own problem, her throbbing member growing enough to bang against the bottom of the table. Rather than more noticeably tackle the larger problem as Yoyo's jerking arms was proving to be the more embarrassing option, she reached lower and shoved two digits into her drenched flower. Without even thinking she started timing her own dips to Ellie's more and more rapid thrusts. Her other paw even came down to help at some point, rolling circles around the base of her cock like it was a large clit. Ellie's pounding very quickly became more labored, the otter huffing hard, quick breaths of air with each wet slap of fur on soaked fur. Then a loud grunt sounded followed by a squeak, though not from either of the two on the table. Iolvin relaxed sunken deep into his seat as he painted both his paw and the underside of the table creamy pink.

"Shit... that's sexy..." Yoyo mumbled as his orgasm rolled over him. From his lowered viewpoint he managed to spot Ilaria's own situation and reached his sloppy paw over to grasp her length. "But that's sexier..."

Ari started to squeak and whine herself as Iolvin slid his paw up and down her length, gasping every time he brushed over her knot. Yet as much noise as she made nothing compared to Ashe's moaning as her climax built. Ellie rapidly plunged into her as fast as he could, feeling her clamp down tightly every time he tried to back out. Then when the dam finally burst everyone seemed to go silent in the face of Ashe's unique cry. She immediately held her breath, then slowly and silently released it in a cross between a whimper and a mewl. Her whole body seized up only to loosen into more spastic jerks of her limbs, Ellie holding himself absolutely still the whole time to avoid reaching his own peak through the intense sensations transferred to him.

As she finally came down from her orgasmic high Ashe groaned, "You didn't finish..."

"I can't... We don't have a condom..." Elliot slowly pulled himself free of Ashe's smoldering confines and rested his member against her belly.

"But...!" Ashe grabbed his cock and angled it back down, but stared into his eyes before going any further. "I just want to feel your cum inside me. Without a damn condom."

"But I won't let you make a mistake like getting knocked up..." Ellie lazily rolled his head about as the drugs and the recent endorphin rush clashed with each other. "I'm sorry, but that's my limit."

"Then use my ass!" Ashe cried out, lowering Ellie's cock a bit more. "You deserve to finish the right way, Elliot... and I want to give you one of my real firsts..."

"Ashe..."

Elliot drove himself forward perhaps a bit too hard for the girl, gasping at the extreme tightness of her pucker. He almost fell forward, burying himself as deeply as he could go and simultaneously locking his muzzle to Ashe's. She moaned and cried out through their connected lips at first, but when Ellie started rocking his hips she started to quiet down. Meanwhile Iolvin decided to step things up on his end, his one paw still working up and down Ilaria's entire length while something else decided to fight her paw down below. After accumulating a generous amount of moisture from Ari's nether lips, Yoyo's tail started prodding its way into her wet snatch. The bristly fur tickled her inner walls just right, enough for her to forgo resisting and grasp his thick tail for herself.

With only a few more thrusts Yoyo's tail was as deep as it was going to go, brushing and massaging the deepest core of his twin's folds. Ari rapidly crammed that fuzzy spire in and out of herself while Yoyo's paw sped up and clamped her knot harder. Before she could let out a single warning Ilaria was cumming from both sets of organs at once. Amber-orange cream and clear tangerine nectar erupted beneath the table, more than enough of both coating Ari's paw and Yoyo's tail alike. Ilaria hunched forward in a spasm and beat the table with her free paw in an eerily mirrored manner to the way Yoyo had done the same in the diner the other night. By now Ellie had noticed exactly what the two were doing, which in his current state of mind only encouraged him to hammer as hard and fast into Ashe's poor ass as he possibly could.

"Crap! Oh fuck! Elliot..." Ashe futilely tried to complain about the sudden increase in pain, a second orgasm flushing over her and enticing a more subdued but equally unique airy howl like before.

Holding her tightly Ellie buried himself as far as he could manage and pulled Ashe's chest up to his. "I'm... AH!" He planted his lips against Ashe's as he began unloading rope after searing rope of pearly white into her still-quaking insides.

"Yessss...!" Ashe hissed from between their kiss, her arms wrapping around the back of Ellie's shoulders so the claws could clamp down for dear life. "That's... what I wanted..."

As his spurts turned into a trickling flow Elliot yanked himself out of Ashe's tailhole and allowed the rest of his mess to dribble out onto the table. "That was... gods..." He brought a paw down and pressed a finger into that now slightly-gaping pucker and rolled it around, trying to play around with the orifice a little longer even though unbeknownst to him he was only adding to the stinging of Ashe's recently-abused hole. "We should... definitely do that again..."

"Please... not right now," Ilaria finally spoke up jokingly, her own shame starting to subside enough to go back in her panties. Without any concern for the messy slop covering them inside and out she tucked her cock away and sat herself upright. "Gods... I just came to..."

"Yeah, no shit..." Iolvin managed as he went to fix his situation as well. He glanced over to Adrian on the dance floor, oblivious to what had perspired due to the music and Robyn's attention. "Shit, I have to talk to him about this..."

"And I have to live with..." Ari grabbed the scotch from her twin and chugged a bit of it down. "Gods, my little sister of all furs..."

"I can feel your heartbeat, hee hee," Ellie cooed as Ashe's ass started to regain it's former tightness.

"And I can feel the ~music~," Ashe added as she rolled her head to look at the lights on the floor.

"Gods, they're bonkers. Help me get them... appropriate, lil' bro," instructed Ilaria as she reached forward.

"Speak for yourself," Iolvin chuckled as he held up his sloppy paw for her to see.

"I said clean up, not give them a money shot." Ilaria reached into her own purse and pulled out a small packet of tissues, ripping them open with her teeth and her clean paw. "C'mon, idiot."
