"Being a virgin isn't such a big deal, I mean c'mon, I know plenty of people who haven't had sex yet like…. like…aw man."

Eli Shane was lying in his bed and angsting about not having lost his v-card. While this would normally not be a deal for him, it seemed like peer pressure was getting to him.

' I'm pretty sure Trixie lost hers, Kord lost his to one of his ex's, Hell even Pronto gets laid daily with all the tall tales he proclaims!'

How did they…y'know… make that happen? Do they ask? Does it just happen in the heat of the moment? He had one girlfriend in his entire life and they broke up after 3 months due to creative differences.

'Maybe I should have listened to her. Maybe if I had I wouldn't still be a virgin- which isn't bad! But…. I wonder what it feels like. It must be full of love and comfort. Kissing, hugging, looking in aww as the guy takes of his shirt revea-'

The boy got wide-eyed at what he just thought. Why was he thinking about the guy? Eli wasn't gay. He liked looking at lots of girls. It was just a slip of the tongue…in his mind. The blue-haired boy ran a down his face and just decided not to think about it anymore. "A good run will get my mind off it" he said aloud.

With that said, Eli jumped out of his bed and changed into a simple pair of black sweatpants and a navy blue shirt. He all but ran down towards the door, trying to forget the fact that he also had a face to go with that chest.

'Man! How can people stand not getting out more? I feel great."

Eli was just about to finish his third mile when a sudden movement near his path caught his sight. He abruptly stopped, almost causing him to faceplant, and looked towards the path where he saw the stirring. He looked around the area but couldn't see anything, when he suddenly caught sight of something black, jumping and weaving through the bushes. Being the somewhat impulsive teenage boy he was, he bounded after it, dodging and running flawlessly and easily keeping up with the unknown creature. A good minute later the creature stopped in the middle of an open clearing. Eli could see that it was a slug, but not one he's ever seen before. The slug was ebony black, but it had heterochromia eyes, one purple and one pink. Eli leveled himself with his new buddy and said, "Hey little guy, what are you doing out here?"

The thing just cocked it head cutely and made a chirp sound. Eli just smiled back at it. He leaned down to give it a little pat on the head.

Big Mistake.

Next thing Eli knew, he fell back and was hacking up a storm, blinded by a fog of pink smoke.

"What the hell?!" The slug slinger yelled out in between coughing fits. He finally was able to breathe when the cloud dissipated. "All I wanted to do was pet it. Looks like it didn't like the idea."

Eli got up from the ground and looked at himself to see if anything was abnormal. No third arm. No melting flesh. No pain. Must've been a dud.

"Oh well."

Eli started heading back to the path he came from, unaware of the effects taking place in his body.
