My roommate's been at the biochemical facility for almost a few weeks now. Back then, somehow got a vat of nuclear waste on him. He was sent away to make sure that nothing bad happened to him. I'm sure nothing did. I pace our room, hoping to see him soon.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; After an hour of pacing, and gnawing my fingers, my roommate comes through the door. \"Hey Zack!\" he says. He's a brown wolf. And before you ask, we're not gay. Just because we've been best buds for years doesn't mean we're gay.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Chip! What's up?\" I ask. Oh yeah. I'm a blue fox.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"I'm clean! They found nothing wrong with me.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"That's great.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Yeah. As long as I go to the hospital every once in a while to make sure everything's ok.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Well, it's good to see you, man,\" I hug him.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"It's good to see you too.\" he hugs back. It holds for a few seconds, then I notice something strange. His fur starts to turn a neon green.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Uh, Chip?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"What?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Is green fur normal?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"What?!\" he sounds surprised. Before I can answer, there's a huge gust of wind. I grip onto Chip.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"What's happening?\" I ask.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"I don't know.\" he says. I close my eyes and tightened my hug on him. When I open my eyes, we're not in our dorm. We're in some kind of forest.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Chip?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Yeah?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Did that waste somehow give you transportation abilities?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"I don't know.\" I look around. In the distance, I see something. Targets. What could those be doing here in the middle of who-knows-where? I start to walk closer to them. \"Zack? What're you doing? Zack!\" I ignore him. I need to know where we are. I see some sort of purple tent off to the side. At least I think that's what it is. Chip follows me close behind.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; I get close to the tent to see what's going on. I see an orange Vixen and a yellow lion sitting down. I tap on the Vixen's shoulder. \"Hello.\" she says. Wait a minute. Is that an English accent I hear in there? Me and Chip have to blend in.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Using my best, but believable English accent, I ask, \"Hi, uh, can I ask you something?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Sure.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Where are we, exactly?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Nottingham. Why?\" Oh shit! I know that name anywhere!\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Ok. Sorry to waste your time. Bye.\" I hurriedly say. I grab Chip by the elbow and drag him away a few feet. Returning to my normal American accent, I say, \"Dude, do you realize where we are?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Scotland?\" he asks.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Not even close. We're in 12th century England. I think we time traveled!\" I say a little too loud.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"How?!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"The nuclear waste. It didn't give you transportation abilities.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Oh.\" He pins his ear down.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"It gave you transportation and time traveling abilities!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"How do we get back?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"I don't know!\" That's when I hear familiar lines.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"I now crown you the winner. Or should I say... the loser.\" Rip! I look over and see that the lion has ripped some kind of clothes with a sword, revealing another fox. Wait! Is that who I think it is.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Robin Hood.\" Chip whispers.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Seize him.\" I hear the words and I know what happens next.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"No!!!\" I yell. Suddenly, attention turns to me. Before I think, I run towards him before I know he was going to be tied up and executed. I grab Robin's arm before he got captured. He takes the hint and starts running with me.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Who are you?\" he asks.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"No time for questions. Just run!\" I yell. Chip isn't too far behind. We make a break for the forest. He catches up quickly.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Zack!\" Chip yells.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"What?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"My fur's glowing again.\" I turn to see his fur is changing to green again.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"On no you don't.\" I let go of Robin, change direction and tackle down Chip. The large gust of wind happens and we fall through the ground.\n\n  \n\nTo Be Continued...\n\n  \n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Short Stories","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/895489-i-m-here-for-you.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/899592-three-way-make-out.json"}}
