Normal POV
"As if today couldn`t get any worse" A feminine hybrid muttered as she waited for the light to turn red so she could cross the street. She tried desperately to fly before her wings got too soaked from the rain but failed miserably and settled on running home, trying to outbeat the downpour that had randomly came. A small pant left her lips as her mismatched pink and grey hair became damp from the cursed water and she groaned inwardly as a truck splashed her on its way down the road.
But luck seemed to be on her side as she reached her home, a beautifully sized home with a white fence, the house itself was white and blue with a small garden in the window. A sigh left her lips as she dug out her keys with her hand covered in black fingerless gloves and went inside in a scurry.
Her left ear twitched as she walked into her bathroom and grabbed a towel to dry her hair in an effort to soothe her nerves as her phone continued to buzz into her pocket.
"What?!" She growled angrily as she finally picked up her phone and sighed to the male voice on the other side.
"Why didn`t you wait for me? Where are you?" The deep masculine voice made her growl lowly.
"Well seeing as though I got tired of people and children pointing at me like I`m some kind of circus animal made me realize that I should just cancel and go home" She muttered bitterly as she looked into the mirror. Gleaming red eyes stared back at her, a red sweater clung to her body and she saged her shoulders with a sigh.
"Look Tyler...I don`t need your pity, I`m used to all this junk, just follow the crowd and leave me alone" She whispered, the male on the other end only sighed.
"I`m on my way Stella, you are one of my friends whether you want one or not, I want to hang with you, no if ands or buts, leave the door unlocked" Tyler growled with such emotion that it made Stella roll her eyes at the click that signaled the end of the call.
"When will that idiot understand...? I have a friend...I don`t need to be welcomed with open arms by a whole town..." Stella whispered to herself as she sat on her bathroom floor after setting her phone down and taking off her drenched sweater.
"Stel? Where are you?" Tyler called out after the door slammed shut, Stella just gave a groan as she stood and started working on her now damp hair.
"Look at what the cat dragged in...no wait, sorry, fox" She muttered as she turned around to see a burgundy fox with hazel eyes looking back into her red ones.
"Haha funny to see you too hybrid" He muttered as he took the towel she was using to dry her own hair.
"Hey! I was using that!" She growled and went to get it back but the damned stubborn fox stepped back and grinned at her.
"Admit it, you appreciate my friendship" He said, flicking his tail and gave her a smug grin.
"I appreciate your friendship, now give me my towel!" Stella barked getting Tyler to laugh.
"Can I crash here? My house is a bit too far and I`m a bit lazy to call a ride at this time of night" He asked, ignoring the request she gave him and slung the towel around his broad shoulders. Stella narrowed her eyes at him and put a hand on her hip.
"I don`t care if you do, can I please get the towel back?" She asked, holding out her other hand.
"Sweet, where should I put these wet clothes? I`m drenched!" He said swishing his tail as he left the bathroom and walked around Stella`s house.
"Whatever... wait here" She muttered, going up the stairs and opening a closet door and getting out a pair of pants and a pack of boxers. The fox uttered a small thanks before locking himself in the bathroom getting Stella the roll her eyes and jump into the bathroom that connected to her room.
"So! Where are your parents? Haven`t seen them at the open house at all, and it is Junior year, will I see them at graduation next year?" Tyler asked as he plopped himself down on the blue couch in the living room.
"No" Stella answered wearing a pair of black pajama pants and a grey tank top, already interested in the T.V show that played.
"Why not?" He asked, laying himself onto her lap as they watched T.v together.
"They're dead" She answered not missing a beat but Tyler flinched and sucked in a sharp breath of air.
"I`m sorry" He mumbled, sitting up and looking at her, Stella only narrowed her eyes and looked towards him.
"Stop it with the pity Tyler" She muttered as he caressed her cheek once tears started forming in her eyes.
"It`s okay...I`m here" He whispered, slowly closing the distance only to be pushed onto the floor followed by a soft laugh.
"I'm not gonna kiss you ya big goof ball" Stella laughed as she wiped her eyes. Tyler frowned inwardly as he glanced at her lips, kissing her didn`t sound bad at all. She was very attractive, her miscolored hair suited her well, making him wonder if it was her grey hairs coming out early or it was natural either way it was cute.
"Hey Stella?" He hummed, sitting up on the floor, the hybrid looked down at the shirtless male.
"What now fox?" She asked, not going unfazed by how handsome he looked but hiding it very well.
"Is that your natural hair color?" Nevermind, he could rot in hell for all she cared, a warm feeling washed over her as she fixed her bangs.
"Yes, I was born with grey and pink hair...problem?" She growled, folding her arms and pouting.
"First, don`t pout... and well no, it suits you... honestly it makes you even cuter than you are now" Tyler chuckled, sitting next to her yet again.
"I`m going to sleep" Stella mused as she stormed upstairs into her room and slammed the door shut and frantically fanned herself as it had become to hot. Once she was sure she cooled down she pressed her ear against the door and listened as he shut off the T.V and started his way upstairs.
"Night ya nosey bat" He chuckled, making sure to softly knock on the door as he passed her room. Stella only flew away from the door, so he wouldn`t hear her stumble and fall as she gave a slight yelp but turned off her lights and climbed into her bed.
"Crafty fox.." She mumbled slowly feeling the effects of exhaustion.
"C`mon wolf! Rise and shine! It`s a beautiful Monday morning!" Stella woke up with a jump as Tyler shook her and yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Funny...I don`t remember buying an annoying alarm clock" She muttered, swatting him away as she dove under the covers to conceal the warmth and sleep some more
"Oh no you don`t hybrid! Time to get up!" Tyler yelled as he pulled off the covers only to yell out as Stella immediately pounced on him in her tired anger.
"Well well well! Look who`s finally dressed! I made you coffee in case you were still grumpy" Tyler shyly chuckled as he held up an ice pack on his head. Stella sighed and patted him on his shoulder. She wore a grey cardigan with light blue ripped jeans, black boots that hung low, and a cream colored shirt. Once her back was turned towards him, she couldn`t help but smile warmly as she made herself a cup.
"I hate coffee by the way" She couldn`t help the small laugh that left her lips as she took a sip.
"Why do you have it then?" Tyler asked, putting the ice pack into the freezer.
"It`s not for me" Stella said, finishing the bitter drink and placing the mug into the sink. Tyler tilted his head and sighed, facing defeat at the unanswered question.
"Guess it`s time for hell!" Stella exclaimed and went towards the door with Tyler right behind her, wearing the clothes he wore last night which consisted of a black T-shirt, navy jeans and his grey vans.
"Ever flown to school before?" She asked, giving him a lopsided grin that made him give one back.
"No and I don`t plan to" Tyler chuckled but yelled out once Stella grabbed both of his hands and took off.
"Woah! Stel! Don`t you dare drop me!" The surprised and scared fox clung onto Stella`s wrists as she flew as slowly as she could so the poor fox wouldn`t wet himself.
"Look! I love flying as much as the next guy but this is ridiculous!" He shouted as they neared the school, mobians of all species gathered to the large building known as Emerald high school.
"And hell here we are" Stella muttered gingerly as she landed, sighing as Tyler launched himself onto her, the hybrid patted the back of the shaking mobian with a small smile.
"Go on, don`t want to ruin your reputation by seeing yourself with me" Stella mumbled, letting him go and pushing him away only for him to go back to her and shake even more, this time getting a laugh from her.
"Your girlfriend is fuming at this sight, you should calm her down before she sets you on fire" Stella laughed at Tyler`s unamused face.
"Ashley is not my-" A high pitched shriek that made all mobians in the vicinity, to flinch and cover their ears as a red feline with a white muzzle and vibrant green eyes stormed her way over to the two. Even with the weather starting to change her outfit consisted of a black skirt, white flats, a white turtleneck and a beige sweater growled at Stella.
"How dare you touch him freak?!" She basically screamed at Stella, the hybrid only flicked an ear towards her.
"Nice to see you too barbie" The cat reared back in bitter resentment.
"I am not a barbie doll! Stop calling me that!" Ashley growled as she hugged herself close to Tyler who rolled his eyes and pulled away from her.
"Stop calling me a freak" Stella sighed, putting her hands in her pockets.
"As if! That`s what you are and that`s all you`ll ever be" She said smugly, expecting Stella to lash out in anger but watched as the hybrid snapped her fingers.
"Damn, same time tomorrow barbie?" Stella asked, opening her wings, pushing her bangs away from her face.
"MY NAME IS NOT BAR-" She was cut off by Tyler himself.
"Honestly Ashley shut up, I`m getting tired of your voice" He muttered before walking off towards a group of males as Stella flew off, leaving the bewildered feline standing there in shock.
"Um...excuse me?" Stella opened a single eye that focused on the pearl white bat with purple eyes.
"Yeah?" The female before her smiled, her burgundy lipstick complemented her simple outfit that was black skinny jeans, cream flats, and a cream cowlick sweater.
"I`m Saturn, uh...I`m new here, could you perhaps...show me to the office?" She asked.
"Sure" Stella mumbled, standing, her hair hand covered her wings but once she stood and opened them out she watched as Saturn looked at them, half expecting her to call her names.
"Cute wings, shall we go?" Saturn asked with a polite smile, opening her own. Stella hesitantly nodded not used to compliments by anyone else beside her best friend and sometimes from Tyler.
"Sure" Both flew in comfortable silence as they headed towards the high school. As usual at the sight of Stella, the murmurs began but same old, same old, Stella ignored them and walked with Saturn into the school.
"Doesn`t that bother you?" Saturn asked, grimacing at the whispers that filled her ears.
"Not anymore, got over it in the 8th grade, people will have opinions and that`s how it has always been, here we are, main office" Saturn gave her a small thanks and before Stella could walk away the bat pulled her in with her, not letting her go even as she received her schedule.
"Who is Mrs. Cluck?" Saturn asked as the two exited the office, Stella only gave a slight smile and this time it was her who pulled Saturn down the hall.
"Ms. Wolfe, and a new face, your name dear?" A white hen asked as she fixed her glasses and went over to the two girls.
"Oh! Saturn R. Bat if you will" The pearl white bat muttered politely as she shook the teachers hand.
"Ms. Wolfe, let me make you a pass to show this wonderful new student around" Mrs. Cluck said with a smile before going back to her desk.
"What?! How come Stella gets to do it?!" An orange falcon with green tips on his mohawk called out, halting in getting his work done.
"The hybrid?! Really Miss?!" A white Jaguar called from the corner of the class.
"Could I go with them Miss?" A calico cat purred as he took in both of their forms, his tail forming a heart but was snapped out of the daze by a light blue black Panther who growled at him.
"ENOUGH! I don`t want to hear it! Ms. Wolfe will partake in this task for she has the HIGHEST grade in this class where a simple skip will mean NOTHING!" Stella took this time to silently retrieve the pass before going out of the classroom followed by Saturn.
"Is Algebra II easy for you?" The bat finally asked as they walked down the barren hallway, Stella gave a small laugh.
"Yeah...I`ve dedicated myself to get good grades to get into a good University" Stella said, twirling her hair with her finger.
"I love your hair, is it dyed?" Saturn asking, playing with it herself, noting that it felt close to silk.
"No, I was born with this hair color" Stella mumbled, and so it was like this, small conversation until it bloomed into the usual girl gossip with Stella filling Saturn in on whatever had happened as the tour of the school came to a close.
"And Mikey couldn`t even come up with a proper explanation for the three he cheated on" Stella stops in abrupt laughter as they passed the auditorium.
"Ooh! Wait wait! Saturn come with me!" The now excited hybrid called out to her friend and dragged her in the dimly lit auditorium. Both girls giggled as they ran towards the stage, Stella leading the two.
"Is that yours?" Saturn asked as she stopped at the edge while Stella flew onto the stage and grabbed the red base guitar that stood on its stand.
"No, but they`ve never complained when I used it" Stella said with a smile, putting the strap around her shoulder.
"You play?" Saturn asked, propping herself on her elbows as she watched.
"Yea, I sing a bit too" The hybrid laughed, settling on a gentle tune, echoing in the massive empty room.
"I wrote this one awhile ago" Stella whispered.
I`ve been bruised
And battered,
I`m wondering through the shadows
I don`t know who I am anymore
Saturn couldn`t help but perk up as Stella sang, the bat was very impressed by the slow emotional song that came from Stella`s heart.
But while the rain
Falls on me
I`ll dance without a care
All until I reach my doorstep
Saturn yelped out as a three tailed navy blue fox went on stage and messed with some buttons before Stella`s voice was heard over the PA system.
When I`m on the road to success
Don`t expect to be near
When all you did was
Make fun of me!
Stella lost herself with a small guitar solo, letting her emotions take control as she closed her eyes and flew just a few feet off the stage. Students in the area couldn`t help but peak their curiosity as they watched her play.
As the rain
Falls on me
I`ll dance without a care
In this unfair world..
At one point a tear streamed from Stella`s closed eyes as she calmed down and gave a sweet sigh, slowly ending the song and landing back on the stage, surprised by the turnout of Mobians that had gathered into the spacious auditorium.
"Well would ya look at that? The hybrid`s got a voice! Say, Tyler seems pretty close to ya so why not come to the Halloween party he`s throwin?" A Red coyote asked, walking down one of the aisles wearing a white shirt with a faded pair of beats on them, blue jeans and beige timberlands.
"Excuse me?" Stella asked, after she put the guitar back down and jumped off of the stage.
"Yeah, you guys should come" He said, a smile on his muzzle as he couldn`t help but glancing over both attractive girls.
"Sweet a party? Count me in! Stella, are you going?" Saturn asked, a huge smile had blossomed on her muzzle as Stella shrugged.
"I-" She was cut off by the annoying shrill of an angered cat.
"The HYBRID?!" She yelled out, getting mobians to cover their ears as she walked past. The fox by the stage frantically tried to turn off the sound so no other students would have to suffer the agonizing shriek of her voice.
"You`ve invited the HYBRID but not ME?!" Ashley growled, her tail swishing angrily behind her.
"I do have a name barbie" Stella sighed, folding her arms and yawning softly.
"Shut it weirdo!" She yelled, Stella only raised an eyebrow at the angered female.
"Pardon? I know this fake piece of plastic is not barking out orders to me as if I`m one of her robotic minions" Stella lowly growled.
"I AM NO-" This time she was cut off as a mobian jumped down behind them.
"Yet again my mood is demolished by your annoying voice.." It was now Tyler`s voice the filled the auditorium.
"Tyler baby! I was just telling Shawn why I should be invited instead of this...thing!" Ashley said, looking at Stella from head to toe, unpleased that there wasn`t really anything to make fun of, she always dressed nice, her eyeliner was amazing and her hair made her look cute. But nonetheless Ashley wasn`t happy at all with what she saw.
"Excuse me? But this `thing` is one of my friends, of course she doesn`t need your approval to be welcomed with opened arms to school daily, no thanks to you," Tyler started as he stood by Stella`s left side away from Ashley while Saturn was on her right, now annoyed with the red cat.
"No wonder you aren`t invited, a bitch like you shouldn`t be able to ruin anybodies night" Saturn hissed getting Ashley to mewl in anger and bitter resentment.
"Stella, it would make me happy if another friend could join my yearly party..." Tyler said, looking to the hybrid who rolled her eyes.
"Fine, but tonight when you burst into my house yet again, bring ice cream, strawberry this time" Stella muttered as she along with Saturn walked out of the auditorium, mobians bombarded her with questions, some she answered others she shook off.
"Ashley?" The feline in question perked up and looked to Tyler.
"Yes Tyler baby?" She asked, her eyes shining in hope.
"I don`t like the way you treat my friend...I want her to have a night free from all of the childish name calling, I don`t want you at the party, if my guards or security see you there, you`re getting kicked out" His tone grew icy as to where the temperature in the room literally dropped, with that Tyler left and the lights started turning off, one by one, until one over Ashley remained.
Today`s lunch was different for Stella, people actually wanted her to sit with them or talk with them, it was weird because for so long these faces would laugh and sneer at her being a hybrid were now being nice and complementing her on how she sang, always asking if she would perform only to receive that cursed maybe with a shrug of her shoulders.
"Well well, Ms. Rockstar, may I ask when is your photoshoot?" Tyler joked, sitting next to Stella.
"Oh shut up fox, I never asked for all of this...attention, a bit uncomfortable if you ask me" Stella whispered, waving at a nearby table who kept looking at her and ushering her over to which she declined.
"If I knew singing was going to do this I should`ve kept going past the auditorium" The hybrid said shyly, playing with her hair.
"But you didn`t and now? You`re all the school wants to talk about!" The whole table, which consisted of Stella, Saturn, and Tyler looked over to Shawn who had invited himself to the table.
"Er...In a good way?" He chuckled, running his hand through his hair with a small smile.
"Well since it is a Halloween party I`m guessing people will show up wearing costumes! You have one ready don`t you Stella?" Saturn asked, poking the horrible cafeteria food around on her tray.
"Of course I do" The hybrid sneered but then actually thought about it.
"Kinda" She mumbled, her closet of clothes and dresses flashing through her head until she sagged her shoulders in defeat.
"No" Saturn choked on her bottle of water and was wide eyed as she looked at the hybrid.
"Then after school let`s go shopping!" The bat exclaimed, her wings flapped cutely not going unnoticed by a certain coyote male right besides her.
Heyo to my wonderful peeps! The revamped version of The Beginning of a Band is officially underway! I truly hope you guys love this version more than I do!
