"You can do this. Your folks wanted you to meet this guy. I'm sure it will work out, right?"
A young man, 16 years of age, walked down a street with his hands in the pockets of a silver hoodie he wore. He was a guy with different backgrounds,Though that never bothered him. If anything, he enjoyed having a diverse background. But we'll get back to that later. He looked at his watch for the time. "Midnight." Stopping, he inhaled and exhaled numerous times. After what was his hundredth exhale, he walked at slow pace. As he walked on, he slowly began to pick up the pace. Then, he ran. Faster than Any man has Ever ran. Suddenly, with closed eyes, he jumped…..
…..And as he returned to Earth…
….he began to change…..
When he opened his eyes, he was still running. But on an Entirely different level. He was running on all fours, like an animal.
Scratch that, he Was an animal!
His appearance was a Large canidae, but he was more than that. He was around 5'11 (in height). His skin was covered from muzzle to tail with a small spotted coat of hair. His inner skin was made of scales. With long, pointed ears, strong legs and sharp retractable claws, he resembled a cross between a German Shepherd, a Dalmation, and a coyote with a touch of lizard.
His speed was twice as great as his human form, for at the final corner, he made a sharp turn and slowly walked up a door. Since he was of human height, he gently but firmly pressed his nose to the doorbell, ringing he waited for an answer, his back fur stood. Quickly as a flash, he evaded a large orange blur pouncing upon. Out of reach, the spotted dog examined his attacker.
It was a sloping figure with orange fur. It's body was that of a large Red Fox mixed with the posture of a small ape. The dog then looked at its face. The ears and snout were on, but the eyes weren't. Then the eyeless fox\ape lifted its head, revealing gills opening and closing on the neck. It was almost as if it was searching for the enemy. To get his attention, the spotted dog barked. The fox/ape heard and slowly approached the source. The spotted dog approached as well.
These weren't your ordinary creatures….
…They were both aliens. As the two touched snouts, they started exchanging sniffs. Then, they went in a circle, one behind another's tail, and sniffed their butts. Facing each other again, their snouts slowly curled into an open mouth grin. As if recognizing each other, both howled their native voices in anticipation. What came next was weird. A beeping comes from nowhere, and in a (literal) flash, the fox/ape disappears in a lime green aura. Seconds later, the spotted dog also disappears, only this aura was bright vermillion. In their place stood the boy from before and another boy. The new guy, around the same age, was Caucasian and had a green sports jacket.
Smiling, the white kid held out his left hand, wearing an intergalactic watch, to shake. Smiling back, I pulled out my left, which also had said watch. Both were identical but different in color. His was green (just like his eyes) and my was red (just like my eyes).
"Hi. I'm Ben."
"Calvin."
