Chapter 1: First Day With the Tribe
Snow POV
The sun peeked in through the trees and assaulted my eyelids. I groaned and rolled over, not wanting to get up. I practically jumped out of my snowy fur when my arm brushed something furry. I cracked an eye open to see who was on my sleeping pallet. I saw a violet feline face and realized who it was, Blaze the Werecat, my best friend of seven years and girlfriend for the last year of that. I looked up as a canary yellow face poked in through the entrance. It was my best friend, Tails the Werefox, and he clearly wasn't happy.
"Swirlin Snow," He started, "Are you gonna sleep or did you forget that Doug, Chase, you and me are gonna hunt for the girls and ourselves before we go to school?" Yep, he was miffed.
I rolled my eyes and replied, "I haven't forgotten Darin Canary. I just didn't expect Aero to ask me to take my apprentice out for night watch training. You and I both know how much of a pain your brother is." I jumped up and launched myself at him with a wicked grin on my face as he chuckled. Both of us started to transform as we rolled out the south side of the campsite and into the forest. I felt my body stretch, my bones shift and grind as they shifted to better support my wereform and I grew more muscular. We continued to roll around on the ground, yipping and yapping as we wrestled. Just as I pinned my canary friend, two females made themselves known behind us causing us to break apart and change back to normal.
"We should have figured it was our foxes making such a ruckus, eh Fi," the first one said with a yawn as we turned to look at them.
The beautiful vixen next to her replied, "Yeah Blaze, but did they have to draw their swords?" I reached down and covered myself while turning red as I realized what they meant. The girls started laughing. As I looked I noticed something and looked to Tails. He smiled letting me know he had noticed it too.
'Our turn ladies,' I thought as I returned fire, "Gee Tails, they laugh at us for drawing our swords but they fail to realize that they are pointing their bazooka's at us!" I smiled, laughed and gave Tails dabs as both girls stopped laughing, turned scarlet and covered themselves.
I got myself under control and walked up to my girlfriend, "Shall we get back to our home kitten?" She nodded and took my hand when I offered it. Hand in hand, Blaze and I walked out of the woods and into the southern edge of a clearing. I looked around it smiling. It was very rustic in appearance. Trees on all sides surrounded the campsite. To the northern edge, just before the trees was a deep, slow moving river. There was a fire pit in the center of the clearing, encircled by eight tents arranged to look like a loose circle. It was located in the Mystic Ruins Forest. This was home to me well, actually it was home to all of us and it was the best in the world. All but the three who had joined us a few months ago have called this home for six years now. Don't let the amount of tents confuse you though; there are actually ten of us living here. As we came fully out of the southern most trees I looked around, mentally reminding myself of who was in which tent. The tent nearest to the river was Blaze and mine's. Following around from there clockwise was Tails and Fiona. After their tent were the tents of our groups' bachelors: Doug, Rain, Chase, Swift, Barby and Tales in that order. I smiled, proud of the little community of friends and all we had accomplished. We walked to our tent and went in.
"Let's get ready for the day Fire Kitten," I said as I locked eyes with my pyrokinetic girlfriend. Blaze had a beautiful, hourglass figure with just a touch of muscle tone, sleek dark violet fur, flowing, long light violet hair and mesmerizing golden eyes that seemed to glow in the early morning light filtering in through the tent opening.
'Yep,' I thought to myself as I continued to stare, eyes locked with hers, 'this is the life. A beautiful girlfriend, a place to live and a small but loyal group of friends. This is all that anyone needs and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.' Who am I you may be wondering? Let me introduce myself. I'm Nova Snow Hunter, Snow to my friends and Snow the Werefox to everyone in the Were Tribe.
Fiona POV
I moaned softly and rolled over as my sensitive ears picked up the sounds of two foxes fighting. 'Snow must be training his apprentice Tales,' I thought. I opened my eyes, hoping to see my handsome boyfriend next to me. I didn't. Rolling my eyes I got up and left our tent. I looked to the right as I heard a yawn to see my best friend Blaze looking in the direction the noise was coming from.
"Hey girl," I greeted her, "are you missing a fox as well?"
She started and looked at me, "Yeah Fi. I have a feeling that we'll find them if we follow the sounds the two yappers are making though. I nodded and followed her to the southern edge of the clearing and into the trees. We didn't have to go far. About two feet in front of us a two-tailed canary yellow Werefox was being pinned to the ground by a snow white four-tailed Werefox. We'd found our missing foxes, Snow the Werefox and my boyfriend Tails the Werefox.
'Boys,' I thought to myself as I looked at Blaze.
She suddenly started grinning. "Fi," she whispered excitedly, "look closely and you'll see how I'm thinking of breaking their little wrestling match!" I looked at them and noticed they were both so caught up in the heat and excitement of their little romp that they were excited elsewhere too! I grinned widely and nodded to my dark violet friend.
"We should've known it was our foxes making such a ruckus this early, eh Fiona," She said while faking a yawn. I smiled widely as they jumped apart and returned to normal in record time.
'My turn,' I thought as I replied, "Yeah Blaze, but did they have to draw their swords?" Blaze and I both laughed madly as they turned crimson and covered themselves in embarrassment. Suddenly the two Todd's looked at each other and grinned.
'Uh-oh,' I thought as I saw their mischievous grin, 'this isn't good.'
"Gee Tails," Snow exclaimed to his partner in crime, "they laugh at us for drawing our swords but they fail to realize that they are pointing their bazooka's at us!"
'Damn those fox boys,' I thought as I realized I was naked, blushed hard and covered myself, 'When it comes to them Blaze and I, hell, no female can win for losing!' You could swear, at first meeting, that these two were brothers rather than life-long friends! Tails walked up to me and grabbed my hand as Blaze and Snow headed for camp.
"Good morning my sexy vixen," Tails said as he suddenly swept me off my feet and held me in his arms bridal style. He then proceeded to passionately kiss me. I closed my eyes and melted into his arms in the passion of the moment. All too soon the moment passed, leaving me breathless. I opened my baby blue eyes and looked lovingly into his sky blue ones as he carried me in his arms back to camp and set me gently on my feet in front of our tent.
"I love you too, my handsome fox," I replied as I looked over my boyfriend's body hungrily.
'Forget roasted deer,' I thought as warmth started spreading from my loins to the rest of my body, 'I would rather have fox meat.' I watched as his gaze and expression became more soft and loving as he noticed the subtle change in my scent. As he swept me back up once again I noticed that his musk had gotten spicier, wilder.
'Are we finally going to make love to each other,' I questioned myself as my lover carried me into our tent and laid me gently on our sleeping pallet. He started to kiss me tenderly. Suddenly we heard Snow and Blaze rousing the others, the bachelors, as the four of us jokingly called them.
Blaze suddenly called out, "Hey you two! You need to get ready; we have to go to school! Snow says we'll stop and get breakfast on the way."
'Damn it all to hell,' I thought forlornly as Tails and I separated, the moment gone. Tails and I got dressed silently.
As we got our boards, Red Tail and Yellow Tail, he looked at me and said, "Soon my vixen, we will finally make love to each other." I smiled at those words and kissed him before walking out, my velvet tail swaying in time with my hips.
'I can't wait,' I thought, 'but for now, enjoy the show Miles baby.'
Blaze POV
"Let's get ready for the day Fire Kitten," the snowy fox in front of me said. I smiled, delighted to hear him use his little pet name for me.
'I really love him,' I thought with a sigh. Sometimes I wonder what he was like before I met him seven years ago when Fiona and myself first joined the tribe. He don't speak much about his past, someone told me once that they don't remember when Snow or even Tails and Tales for that matter joined the tribe. Tails once told me the three of them were five when they joined. I guess it's the mystery surrounding the three foxes that drew Fiona and myself to them. I stared directly into his two-tone, Mist Blue/Ice Blue eyes.
My heart fluttered and even skipped a few beats, 'Yeah, I'm defiantly in love.'
"Flyboy," I started, using my pet name for him, "are we going to get dressed anytime soon?" He nodded and turned around to give me a bit of privacy, even though we both slept in nothing but our fur, ever the gentleman. Snow and I were the reliable yet mischievous ones, sometimes though; we wished we could be as carefree as Tails and Fiona. I looked over the clothing Snow and Tails had went into Station Square and procured for us yesterday.
'Well, I know what he's wearing so let's see how well I can match it,' I thought as I selected my outfit and put on my undergarments and looked up to see if he was looking.
'Oh, what the hell,' I thought as I saw he was still facing the other way and was currently bent over, with his four tails skyward, his rear exposed to me, 'that's my fox which means my ass.' SMACK! I smiled as he jumped and whirled around with a smile on his face.
"Later baby," he said with a grin as he finished pulling up his underwear and pulling his fluffy tails through the hole in back.
I nodded as I thought, 'Later, after school.'
"Do you think we'll make friends," I asked as I picked up and pulled on a pair of white skinny jeans with violet flames going down the lower legs.
"Who knows," he replied, "we tend to avoid contact with non-were's." I watched as he pulled his tails through the back of the white jeans with ice blue flames going down the lower legs and smiled.
'Looks like he found us matching clothes. This fox never ceases to amaze me,' I thought while I looked at my snowy lover, 'I guess that's part of why I love him. He's surrounded by an aura of mystery. There is still a lot I don't know about him but the more I learn, the more I love him.' We finished dressing, grabbed our boards, Snow Tail and Flame Rider, then went out to wake the others and get our two fox friends back on track.
"We'll get breakfast on the way to school," Snow said as we walked out.
"Hey you two! You need to get ready; we have to go to school! Snow says we'll stop and get breakfast on the way," I called out as I passed Tails and Fiona's tent. Even though I couldn't see them I could smell their pheromones. Well, if I wasn't having that kind of fun neither were they. I joined Snow at the edge of the river. It wasn't long before Rain joined us with her board Rainstorm. The next to join us was Doug with Wake, Swift with Red Star, Tales with Sienna Tail and Barby with Deuces Wild. Finally Tails with Yellow Tail, Fiona with Red Tail and Chase with Howler joined us, we were ready.
Tails POV
As we walked out of our modest tent Chase came up to us. I frowned at his attire. 'You can definatly tell tribe born from not,' I thought.
"Chase," I started, "come with me, a girl's over the shoulder boulder holder isn't guys clothing. I'll help you so you don't get laughed at."
He smiled, "Thanks, man. Damn that snowy fox! I fell for his pranks again!"
I laughed, "He certainly is good at it." Fiona started giggling into her hand. I shrugged and helped Chase. The three of us joined the others. I looked to see if Snow pranked anyone else. Snow was grinning mischievously.
'He got someone else, but who,' I wondered to myself. I started looking everyone over.
Snow was wearing a black leather jacket with an ice blue muscle shirt underneath, white jeans with ice blue flames on the lower legs, ice blue and white skater shoes, black, fingerless biker gloves with ice blue flames and a pair of shades on his head. Nothing was out of the ordinary so I moved on to Blaze.
Blaze was wearing a pair of skin tight white jeans with violet flames on the lower legs, a black leather jacket with a violet sleeveless tank top that stopped above her belly button, violet and white skater shoes, black, fingerless biker gloves with violet flames and a pair of shades similar to Snow's.
'How cute, the snowy fox and his violet girlfriend are matching,' I thought to myself. I knew he wouldn't prank his girl so I moved on.
Rain wore a pair of daisy dukes, white tank top and white cross trainers. Doug wore a white t-shirt, blue jeans and black Nike's. Swift wore a red muscle shirt, red shorts and black Addida's. Barby was wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans and white skater shoes. My brother, Tales, wore a sienna shirt with tribal print, white shorts and black Nike's. Chase, after my assistance, wore a red t-shirt, black jeans and black Van's.
'Nothing out of the ordinary,' I thought to myself, 'unless he got me.' I looked over my yellow t-shirt, blue jeans and white converse. Nothing wrong there.
"If you think I pulled another prank," the snowy Kitsune started while still grinning, "you're wrong." Then it dawned on me, our gifts for Blaze and Fiona! Snow and I dug in our pockets and looked at our girls.
"Close your eyes Fi and Blaze," I said. The girls did and we moved to our respective girlfriend. I watched as my friend pulled out a snow-white hair ribbon and put Blaze's hair up in a ponytail. I pulled out a canary yellow one and did the same to my girlfriend.
"You can open your eyes ladies," Snow told them, "and go look in the river." They did as he said and saw our presents, squealed with delight and jumped into our arms. After a few Snow released Blaze, picked up his board and tossed it out to hover over the river. He then jumped on it and shot off. I watched as first Blaze, then the rest of us followed suit. We followed the river to the falls. Most of us followed the falls but I watched as Snow, eyes shining with pure delight, gained massive air and started doing some spectacular tricks all the way down the waterfall! I'd never seen anything like it!
'He's a natural on extreme gear,' I thought as I watched the show, 'what are you hiding from us my friend?' As he landed I swerved to get next to him but my flying type gear couldn't keep up with the speed he gained from the tricks!
Once we finally caught up with him it was Blaze who spoke first, "Awesome trickin honey! Where did you learn to do that!?" Snow didn't say anything, he simply led us into the diner he was in front of.
"Welcome to Gear Grinders Diner," a pleasant and smiling waitress greeted, "I'm Ariel and I'll be your waitress." She stopped as she noticed the snowy fox in our midst.
"Oh my god," she squealed excitedly, age betraying her, "you, you're Nova Hunter!"
"Yes," he replied, "I am. My friends and I would like a table and menu's please." By looking at him, it looked like my friend wished he was elsewhere. I now knew why he looked so at home on extreme gear. It also explained his absence from time to time for weeks: he was the youngest and most popular professional x-gear rider!
"Mr. Hunter," Ariel said, "May I please have an autograph? I'm one of your biggest fans!" Snow nodded and took her pen and order pad then wrote on it:
To my biggest fan Ariel the Vixen,
May you always fly high and your dreams come true.
After writing the message I watched as he signed it: "Nova 'Snow' Hunter" and handed it back to her.
"Ariel," a man called out, "I don't care if an x-gear prodigy like Nova Hunter walks in here! Get your vixen ass back to work or you're fired!" When the man screamed at her she flinched and Snow looked fit to be tied. He looked around and spotted the man. My friend squared his shoulders, marched up to him and tapped him on the shoulder.
"I'm busy, so piss off," the man said without turning around.
"Is it wise to piss off the world's most liked professional x-gear racing prodigy," Snow retorted, obviously miffed. Just then the manager showed up having been alerted by another employee.
"Hello, I'm the manager and owner, Mr. Birch, is there a problem," the manager inquired.
Snow smirked, "Yes, I'm Nova hunter. Your shift supervisor here just threatened to fire Miss Ariel for asking me for an autograph. He told her, and I quote, 'I don't care if an x-gear prodigy like Nova Hunter walks in here! Get your vixen ass back to work or your fired!' I could tell he didn't see who had come in so I decided to tap his shoulder and ask him not to threaten her when it's my fault. He told me he's busy and to piss off."
"Is this true Tom," Mr. Birch demanded as the man noticed Snow and turned pale.
"Y-yes sir," Tom gulped, "it's all true."
"Well then," Birch replied, "I believe you owe Mr. Hunter and Ariel an apology."
Tom noticed Snow's tribal paints and replied, "I'm not apologizing to a Werefox piece of shit! I don't care if he is a customer and x-gear star! He's a fucking freak of nature. All he deserves is to be shot!" At this all of us stomped up, surrounded Snow, bared our teeth and let out warning growls.
"You're fired Tom," the Owner said after hearing this, frowning, "get out of here right now! Were or not I look at them as four foxes, two wolves, a dog, a cat, a hedgehog and a koala. They are customers and I won't let them be insulted!"
He then turned to us, "I am sorry for this. I hope it don't discourage you from coming here. Station Square has a few Were haters but not everyone shares their opinion. Please find a table and order anything you wish. Your meals are on the house today. Ariel, I want you to wait on them like they are VIP's." Ariel nodded and led us to a table. Snow stayed back for a few moments then came and found us.
"Well, that was great," the young vixen said once all of us were there, "what brings you guys out of Mystic Forest?"
"Today is our first day at Station Square High. We are trying to foster peaceful relations by showing everyone that we're no different from other Mobians," I replied.
Ariel beamed, "It'll be my first day there too! Mind if I head there with you guys?"
"Sure, I don't see why not," Snow replied, "That's if you don't mind being seen with Were's like us."
Ariel smiled, "My family taught me to not judge people by what they are but rather who they are."
"That's good," I replied, "but tell me why is a fourteen year-old vixen working in a diner?"
Ariel hung her head, "My parents died in a car crash. I have no other family so I have to take care of myself."
"Sorry to hear that Ariel," Blaze replied, "That's really what brings our little group together. All of us are orphans."
"So," Ariel said confused, "None of you have living relatives?"
"Let's change the subject please," My snowy friend asked, "for some of us it's a rather sore subject." We all agreed and left it at that. Our food arrived soon and we all ate in silence. Once finished we grabbed our boards and waited for Ariel to come out. Once she came out Snow helped her onto Snow Tail and led the way as we all headed for school.
