Just so you's don't try anything funny, all the characters in this story ARE copy write of me, Comatose Huskey. But I can learn to share, if you's can learn to ask nicely.

What is love anyway? Chapter 1
* * *
  
"Steven! Dinner's ready!" Christina yelled to her son.  
  
"Okay, mom. I'll be right there!" Steven yelled back to his mother from his room.  
Then he quickly wrote a short message to his friend, Michelle -otherwise called Fuller  
because it's her last name- that he had to go eat dinner and would message her on  
Myspace when he was finished.  
  
Before leaving his room Steven looked at the digital clock next to his bed on said  
"Four thirty is to damn early to be eating dinner" to himself. Then proceeded to walk out  
his room, and down the hallway to the dinning room. As he walked to the dinning room  
his sensitive huskey nose was assaulted with the smell of about fifteen different herbs and  
spices.  
  
His mother loved to cook using as many herbs and spices as she can to enhance the  
flavor of whatever she happened to be cooking that night for dinner. Christina loves to  
cook many different Italian dishes even though she is predominately Polish. The female  
huskey loves to cook whatever Italian dish that makes her beloved husband happy.  
  

  As Steven walked into the dinning room he noticed that everyone -except his  
mother- was already sitting down starting to enjoy the spaghetti and meatballs his mother  
had made. "Sorry I'm late, I was talking to Fuller on Myspace." He stated before taking  
his usual seat next to his brother, Alex.  
  
Alex -Steven's youngest brother- was not a huskey like himself, his brother -Tyler-  
, or his mother. Alex got his looks from his father -Steven's step-father- who is a German  
Shepherd. But, Alex takes after his mother in the sense of being able to comprehend any  
subject fairly easily.  
  
As Steven sat down, Steve -Steven's step-father- said "It's okay, just try to keep  
track of time better."  
  
"Okay, I will." Steven replied before helping himself to the spaghetti and meatballs  
in the big bowl in front of him that just so happened to be in the middle of the large round  
mahogany table.  
  
At that moment Christina walked back into the room backward -to be able to open  
the swinging door- with a loaf of garlic bread in her paws. As soon as the female huskey  
put the bread down, her canine family immediately started to rip pieces off and put them  
on there plates. "Boy, you guys must have been really hungry. I never see you's eat that  
fast." she added before sitting down and making herself a plate while she had the chance.  
  

  "Well I know I was." Alex said as his tail started to wag back and forth, "You're a  
great cook mom, your food always tastes so good!"  
  
"Well I'm happy to hear that, and thank you, that means a lot to me." She replied  
before spearing a meatball and eating it.  
  
"Kiss-ass" Tyler muttered under his breath.  
  
"Tyler! What did I tell you about calling your brother names?" Steve said shortly  
after Tyler made the comment.  
  
"Sorry Alex." Tyler said not really wanting to say it, but knew better then to fight  
with Steve about name calling. After which, took a big fork full of spaghetti and shoved it  
in his muzzle.  
  
After that, the rest of the meal went pretty much in silence with the occasional  
compliment of Christina's cooking. Tyler was the first to finish his dinner, as always, put  
his dish in the sink in the kitchen, and went up to his room in the attic, which he had  
requested to have when they moved into the house some eight years ago in the year 2000  
about six months before Alex was born.  
  
When Tyler got up to his room he closed the door, turned the TV on the table in  
front of his bed, picked up his phone in his room, sat on the corner of his bed, and called  
his girlfriend, Lauren. Lauren is a rat, which Tyler had been seeing since the second week  
of school -which started in September- and they had just "celebrated" their one month  
anniversary two days ago.  
  

  Tyler's room was fairly simple. His bed is positioned under the attic window -  
headboard under the window- with a table in front of the bed about eight feet away, with a  
38" color TV on it. A maple work-desk off to the left of the bed under the slant of the  
roof. On the desk sat Tyler's Compaq laptop, left open, but turned off. Next to the laptop  
are various papers, pens, pencils, a ruler, a glass of water that was left half-full, and the USB cord for his Ipod nano. To the right of the huskey's bed is his dresser, with some of  
his clothes sticking out of the draws. On the dresser is Tyler's PS2, along with various  
games and a few controllers. On the walls are many different band posters. So much so,  
that there was no real need to paint the walls because they were rarely seen.  
  
Tyler talked to his girlfriend for the rest of the night about any little thing they  
could think of, eventually falling asleep with the phone next to his ear around midnight.  
  
\* \* \*  
  
Back in the dinning room; Steven was next to finish his dinner about ten minutes  
after Tyler did. He excused himself, put his plate in the kitchen sink, and preceded to his  
room at the end of the hall.  
  

  After Steven, Alex finished, followed Steven's example with his plate, and went to  
his room to play his Xbox 360 for a little bit before taking a shower and going to bed.  
  
Finally Christina and Steve finished, and went to wash the dishes together. As they  
washed the dishes they made idle chat about what they were going to do on Saturday  
with the kids.  
  
"I think we should take the kids to see a movie, since its suppose to rain on  
Saturday anyway." Christina commented to her shepherd lover.  
  
"We could, or we could have a family movie day." Steve suggested, "You and I  
could go to the movie store, rent a few movies, get some snacks, and spend the day at  
home?"  
  
"I like that idea. We could also invite my sister and her son?" Christina added.  
  
"I don't see why not. Its always good to have company." Steve said, a big grin  
spreading across his muzzle.  
  
"Then its settled. I'll call Steph, and you tell Steven that we're heading out for a  
little bit." Christina said, as an equally big grin now on her muzzle as her tail wagged  
happily.  
  

  "Okay, I'll tell him, and get the car started," Steve said giving his huskey lover a  
soft kiss on the muzzle before adding, "and I'll see you in the car." With that Steve left the  
kitchen to go inform Steven that they'd be going out for about an hour.  
  
\* \* \*  
  
Steven had just signed back onto Myspace when he got a friend request from a  
badger that goes by the name Mikeycorpse. When Steven saw the badger, he tried to  
remember if he knew him, but finally decided that he had no idea who he was. Then after a  
few minutes of debating with himself, he figure the badger looked cute enough to accept  
him as a friend.  
  
After accepting the badger as a friend, Steven went to look at his profile to learn a  
little more about his new "friend." A few minutes of reading told Steven that the badger  
was in fact gay, and was his age. He also learned that they went to the same high school.  
That made Steven wonder if he was new because he already knew most of the sophomore  
class. Then as Steven was about to comment the badger, he got a message from none  
other then Mikeycorpse. So Steven opened the message, curious to see what his new  
friend had to say.  
  

  The message read; Hey cutie, ive seen you around school and thought id  
introduce myself. Im Mikey, or as my friends call me, Mikeycorpse. No, im not in the  
sophomore class, im a freshmen, I know shocker. Aaaaanyway, wut r u up 2??  
  
Steven was a little dumbstruck at first by how casual this Mikey had sounded in  
the message and was wondering how he had never seen him before. A couple seconds  
latter, Steven remembered how to type and wrote a quick response saying: Hi, you  
probably already know my name, but I'm Steven. Umm, that's interesting because I don't  
think I've seen you around school at all. If you don't mind me asking, how are you a  
freshmen? Aren't you fifteen? Umm, I'm not doing a whole lot, just talking to some of  
my friends. You? Steven wrote on more of a formal tone, still not sure about this Mikey  
fellow.  
  
About a minute later Steven got another message from Mikey. Hehe. Yeah, I  
already knew ur name. you know you dont have to write all formal like, im not gonna  
scold you on grammar. No I don't mind. I got left back in second grade cuz I was in the  
hospital most of the year cuz I was mad sick. But im better now. Nd yes I am 15. Not  
much really, just talkin to u. hey, y don't u call me. 555-1212. Ill be waiting...  
  

  Steven wasn't sure what to do. On one hand he really wanted to talk to the badger,  
but on the other hand, his parents still didn't know that he's bisexual, and didn't want to  
risk getting caught talking to a very open gay guy on the phone. But, as he was arguing  
with himself, Steve walked into his room, and broke him out of his thoughts.  
  
"Your mother and I are going out for a little bit. Your in charge. We'll be back in  
about an hour or so." Steve stated, walking up behind Steven to see what he was doing.  
  
At that moment, Steven closed the message and turned around to say: "Okay,  
Steve. I'll keep an eye on Tyler and Alex. Where are you to going?" the huskey asked the  
shepherd with honest curiosity in his voice.  
  
"Nowhere special, just to the store to get a few things. Thanks, we owe you one."  
Steve replied.  
  
"Okay. Anytime, so don't worry about it." Steven said with a smile. Steve returned  
the smile, patted Steven on the head between his ears, turned around and left the room to  
go start the car.  
  
"This must be a dream come true. Damn I never get this lucky" Steven said to him  
self before picking up his phone to call Mikey.  
  

  When Mikey picked up the phone, they immediately started talking about, well,  
just about anything they could. They agreed to meet before first period the following  
morning by rooms 171-173 in the music rotunda. Then, after about two hours on the  
phone, they said their good nights and went to bed.
