Lilly: Well, we finally got the new chapter finished! Only took forever...It's just me right now, Cody's off doing his thing and I'm back at home. Haven't been feeling good, so he dropped me off at home so his Mom could take me to the vet. Turns out I've got a bit of the flu...Yay...Anyway, enjoy the chapter!
Today was the day Serenity wasn't exactly thrilled about, but was a little excited for; The first day she'll go to an actual school with other people. Growing up, Cody taught her quite a bit, but agreed with her parents to give school a try, at the least. They all have their worries, some more than others, but she's hopeful it'll work out okay.
Her alarm clock broke the silent morning air at 6AM, quickly jolting her awake. She reached over and turned it off, stretching as she sat up in her bed and pushed the blanket off. She rubbed her eyes with a yawn before getting out of bed, putting her pajamas on and walking out to the kitchen for breakfast.
Cody and Lilly were already awake and was her come out, Lilly saying "Well, good morning, honey!" Serenity smiled a little and sleepily said "Morning, guys. What's for breakfast?" Cody set down a plate of waffles and eggs, kissing her cheek as he said "Your favorite. Eat up, got a long day today." She smiled more and sat down, quickly digging into her breakfast.
"So, you excited, honey?" Lilly asked with a smile. Serenity nodded and swallowed her mouthful of food before saying " Yeah, kinda. How do you think it'll go?" Cody sat down at the table with he and Lilly's breakfast, saying "Depends on your first impression, so try and make it a good one. Don't pay attention to the people who might make fun of you or anything. If you don't react to their stupidity, they'll see they can't mess with you."
"Got it. Anything else?" Serenity asked before taking another bite. Lilly giggled a little and said "Stay out of trouble, and try and keep the flirting to a minimum." Serenity giggled too and rolled her eyes, saying "Sure, okay, Mom..." Cody and Lilly got up and he kissed her cheek, saying "Don't forget to shower and dress nice. We'll be back out soon."
They went down to their bedroom, closing the door as they in. Serenity ate the rest of her breakfast rather quickly, soon finishing and putting her plate in the sink before going to her room. She got a towel and went into the bathroom, turning the water on to take a shower.
While it warmed up, she examined herself in the mirror, trying to think of how not to attract unwanted attention to herself. "Nothing I really CAN do...Oh well, I know what's coming..." She thought to herself, dropping her towel on the counter and undressing before stepping into the shower. She didn't take long, but enough to make sure she was all clean and make her white fur shine a little.
She was only in for about ten minutes until she got out, drying herself off. As she did, she couldn't help but rub and squeeze her breasts a little, not only something her doctor told her she should do, but also because she found it kinda fun and to feel nice!
When she was done, she went back into her room, tossing her towel into the hamper and opening her closet to decide on what to wear. She took a moment to think before deciding on a pair of blue jeans, her favorite pink T-Shirt and brown shin-high boots. She took her clothes, along with a pair of pink panties and a matching bra and quickly got dressed.
She examined herself in the mirror again, twisting and turned to see every little bit. "Hmm...Not bad!" She said to herself with a smile. "No, not bad at all!" She suddenly heard her mother say, jumping a little as she turned around to see her at the door. "Good god, Mom! Do you have to do that!?" She asked and Lilly giggled, saying "No, but I like to!"
Serenity sighed and rolled her eyes as Lilly walked in, hopping up on the bed and saying "You look great, honey! Although, those jeans don't exactly help with not flirting..." Serenity smiled and said "Maybe a bit, but I like them. Don't show off too much, do they?" Lilly shook her head and said "Not too much, but don't be surprised to see boys staring at your butt...It'll happen, believe me."
She slowly nodded and asked "Do guys stare at yours?" Lilly giggled a little and said "Only your father, but he's allowed to. Who do you think I keep my slim, sexy figure for?" Serenity giggled and said "Yeah, I'm sure...Do you think people will see me as a freak, Mom?"
Lilly let out a soft sigh and said "Come here, honey..." Serenity sat beside her on the bed and Lilly wrapped her tail around her back, saying "Some people will, as much as I hate to say it...But, I promise even more will see past how different you are. You're a beautiful, intelligent young woman, Serenity...Never let anyone say otherwise, and if they do, tell your father. He'll set them straight."
They shared a laugh and then Serenity said "Thank you, Mom...For everything." Lilly nuzzled her and kissed her cheek, saying "Don't mention it, sweetheart. Now, hurry and get your stuff together. Almost time to go." Serenity nodded and Lilly hopped down, leaving the bedroom and Serenity on her bed. She softly sighed and got up, getting her bag from the closet and going out to the living room.
Dakota was up now, but Crystal wasn't with him on the couch like normal. She walked over and sat beside him, saying "Morning, Dakota. Where's Crystal?" He smiled and said "She's still asleep, or at least she was when I came out. She nodded and then Cody asked "Ready to go, honey?" She took a breath and nodded, saying "Yeah, I'm ready."
With that, Cody got his keys and they all went out to his Jeep, getting in and he started it to let the diesel motor warm up a little. "You know you don't have to do this if you really don't want to, Serenity...We're not forcing you to go." Lilly said, smiling back at her.
Serenity smiled too and said "I know, Mom, I'm just a little nervous is all." Lilly nodded and they soon pulled out of the driveway, heading off to the highway. It was a quiet drive other than the radio playing and the road noise as they drove along.
After a twenty minute drive, they came up on the exit for Kalispell High School, the same one Cody went to. They got off the highway and went down the road for a few minutes until they got to the school. Cars were parked all along the sides of the road and kids were getting out, making Serenity more nervous.
"You okay, honey?" Lilly asked, seeing the look of fear on Serenity's face. She hesitantly nodded and said "Y-Yeah, I'm alright...Just...Kinda overwhelmed. You guys are coming with me, right?" Cody weakly smiled and said "Sorry, baby girl...We've gotta go ourselves. You'll be just fine, just do what I told you. See the principal first before you really talk to anyone. Don't let anyone bother you. Okay?"
"Okay, Dad. When are you gonna come back for me?" Serenity asked with a small smile. He chuckled a little and said "Before you know it...Right around three." She nodded and Lilly said "Come here, honey..." Serenity moved up to between the seats and Lilly nuzzled her, saying "You'll be just fine today, trust us. We both love you more than you can imagine and you know we would never let you do this if we knew it wouldn't go well." Serenity smiled a little and nodded, saying "Yeah, I know..." Cody kissed her forehead and said "See you after school, sweetheart. Have fun!"
With that, Serenity opened the door and hesitantly got out, looking around at everybody else getting out of cars, too. Nobody seemed to notice her yet, which she thought was good. "Remeber, three o'clock!" Cody said from inside the Jeep. She smiled and nodded again, closing the door and they drove off. She took a shaky breath and started walking to the main gate, going in and heading to the principal's office down the hallway. Nobody was paying attention to her, so she seemingly slipped by unnoticed to the office, opening the door and slowly walking in.
The Secretary behind the desk saw her come in and smiled, saying "Oh, hello! You must be Serenity, am I right?" She nodded and then the lady said "Good, good! Mr. Robinson is expecting you in his office. Go down the hallway to the left, last door on the right." Serenity nodded again and the lady lightly giggled, saying "No need to be so shy, honey...Everyone here has heard quite a bit about you and I must say, I'm glad to finally meet you!"
Serenity smiled a little and said "Th-Thank you, ma'am!" She nodded and Serenity went down the hallway to the office, lightly knocking on the door as she opened it. As she did, the man sitting at the desk smiled and said "Come on in and sit down, Serenity." She nervously went in and sat in one of the chairs, setting her bag down on the floor.
"Is everything okay?" She nervously asked. He chuckled and said "Of course, nothing's wrong. I've been reading your file and I must say, I've been pretty interested! Not often we hear of somebody that's never gone to school to do as well as you on the placement tests. You're the most, how should I say...Intriguing student we've ever had and probably ever will!"
She smiled a little and said "Well, thank you! My Dad taught me most of what I know, but I found some online stuff, too. Didn't know that went into a school record, though..." He chuckled again and said "Well, it's not like it's a bad thing. In fact, it all will probably help you here."
She was a little confused and asked "What do you mean?" He opened her file and flipped through the pages, saying "You scored very high on a good few of the subjects. If you choose to, you can take the advanced classes, but being a freshman, I don't recommend it. You have the option, however, so remember that." She nodded and said "I'll keep that in mind, thank you! If I may ask, what was the reaction when people found out I would be coming here?"
He smiled again and said "Mostly positive, actually! I still remember your parents being here, so I was more than happy when I heard their daughter would be a student here now, too!" She smiled more and said "Well, that's good! Oh, I nearly forgot...I sorta lost my class schedule. Any chance I could get a new one?" He nodded and turned to his computer, typing on it for a moment and then the printer turned on, spitting out a page with her classes on it.
He took it and handed it to her, saying "Here you are. I'll let you head off now so you're not late. Hope you enjoy your first day!" She smiled again and nodded, saying "Thank you!" She got up and grabbed her bag before heading out the door, leaving the office and going back out into the sea of people who began to stare.
She smiled and walked off down the hallway, looking down at the page she got at her locker number, which she quickly found. Naturally, there were already others around it, but she didn't care and just walked up to them. "Excuse me, just need to get to my locker there..." She said in a friendly tone, getting the group of girls' attention. "Oh, no problem!" One of them said, stepping to the side a little. Serenity opened her locker and set her bag in it when she heard the same girl say "Hey, I think we heard about you this morning..."
Serenity turned to her and smiled, asking "What did you hear?" She smiled too and said "Well, not a lot actually...Someone said that a...Well, a strange looking girl was here. You know, not to be rude..." Serenity smiled more and said "It's alright. I know I'm not the most normal thing you'll ever see." They all shared a laugh and then the girl said "Well, I'm Cass, this is my sister Taron and our friend Melissa." They all smiled at her and Serenity said "Nice to meet you all! I'm Serenity."
"Aw, no way! That's a beautiful name!" Taron giggled, causing to Serenity to as well. "Oh, thank you! My parents' always said a unique name for a unique girl..." Melissa giggled now and said "Well, they weren't lying! Mind if I ask how your parents are? I mean, we can all tell only one of them are human..."
"No, it's okay. My Mom is the wolf of the family, literally. She and my Dad met when he was on a camping trip up in Canada with his parents. Didn't take long for them to fall in love." Serenity said while the other girls curiously listened. "That's pretty cool! How old is your Mom then?" Cass asked. She thought for a moment and said "I think six or seven..."
They all looked at her in disbelief and Cass said "No way...You're at least sixteen!" Serenity giggled and said "Yeah, I've gotten that before...I'm really only about two!" They all looked shocked and Taron said "Wow, seriously!? That's crazy..." Right about then, they all heard a guy behind them all say "Woah, freak alert! You're blocking my locker, doggy!"
They turned around to see some guy with a smug smile standing there, looking like a complete asshole. Naturally, Serenity felt hurt, but Taron stepped in and said "Mark, go away! I told you to stay away...Go find your pathetic friends and leave us alone for once!" He laughed and said "Aww, sticking up for the science experiment...What happened to you, doctor decide to make the most ugly experiment gone wrong?"
Serenity was starting to tear up, which Cass and Melissa noticed and Cass said "Hey, let's go to the bathroom..." They all nodded and Mark said "Good idea, you can stuff that thing in the toilet..." Taron spun around and slapped him, causing him to stumble back a little before laughing again as he said "Damn...Sparked a fire..."
The four of them went to the girls' bathroom across the hallway and Serenity started crying. Cass hugged her and said "Don't pay attention to him, he's an asshole...He'll do whatever he can to upset someone." Serenity sniffed and said "Sorry, I-I couldn't help it...I knew something like that could happen, but I was so hoping it wouldn't..."
"Like she said, don't waste your time on him." Taron said, rubbing her back. Serenity nodded and Melissa smiled, asking "Does your tail wag? I'm not calling you anything, but...does it, like a d-...your Mom's?" Serenity smiled too and lightly giggled, saying "Yeah, sometimes...Sometimes it can be a pain to have...Makes clothes shopping harder."
A few miles away at work, Cody was just finishing up giving one of the regular people that come in her dog's checkup. Lilly was laying on the small couch in the waiting room, looking outside at the nice day and everyone going out their business.
"He could use a little less food here and there, to be honest. Or something a little different." Cody said as they walked out of the exam room to the front desk. He sat down and started typing everything up on the computer while the lady said "We'll try something a little healthier from now on. Any recommendations?" Cody smiled and handed her a five dollar off coupon for dog food, saying "Here you go. Probably the best stuff on the market."
"Well, thank you! So, how's Lilly and the kids all been?" She asked, getting Lilly's attention. She looked over and smiled, saying "We've all been really good! Serenity's at school right now...Kinda wondering how it's going for her..." Cody chuckled and said "Yep, me too...She's alright, I know it. You feel anything that says otherwise?"
"I did a few minutes ago, but it went away." Lilly giggled. The lady smiled and said "I'm sure she's having fun! Probably making a lot of friends that wanna know more about her." Lilly nodded and looked back outside while Cody finished up the paperwork, saying "Okay, it's thirty dollars for today. All his vaccines are up to date and everything else checked out good!"
A couple minutes later after paying, she left and Cody got up, walking over to Lilly and saying "Hey, baby!" She smiled as he sat down next to her, saying "Hey, you!" He leaned over and kissed her cheek, asking "So, what's so interesting that's had you staring outside all day?"
She giggled a little and said "Nothing, really. Just been thinking of Serenity..." He nodded and started rubbing her back, saying "Yeah, I know...Only a few hours until she gets out and we go pick her up." She smiled again and nodded, saying "Good, can't wait to see how it went for her!"
At home, everyone was enjoying the day outside, laying around in the backyard in the cool grass. Alexis and Chase were laying a little ways away with Snow, talking to her about their relationship after she asked about it. It wasn't something they dreaded talking to her about, they knew they would have to someday. She was a little surprised to hear her parents were brother and sister, to say the least, but not freaked out.
"So, what happened for you two to fall in love? How does that happen?" She curiously asked, causing the both to blush quite profusely. They already had the sex talk with her, so nothing they could say would be new, really. Alexis cleared her throat and said "Well, honey...To put it simple, deep down, I was in love with him for a long time, just never realized it. It all came to light near the end of one of my heats...It got to be unbearable and we...We ended up having sex. I still say it was probably the best night of my life!"
Chase smiled as they shared a kiss and Snow smiled, saying "Okay...How long after that was it I came around?" Alexis giggled a little and said "Not very long, a few months when I came into heat again. Despite falling in love and becoming mates, you're still the best thing to happen to us! We were so worried there would be something wrong with you since we're siblings...Turns out you just have one less toe than you should."
She looked down and her paw next to her mother's, looking at how she had four toes and class compared to her five. She slowly nodded and said "I don't think that's really anything...Doesn't bother me any."
Alexis giggled and said "Now you know how we feel! Does it bother you that your father and I are siblings?" She shrugged and said "I don't know, Mom...I mean, I know it's not technically right, but..." Chase chuckled and said "We do too, honey." She smiled a little and said "But, it seems like it was the best for you both, so...Maybe it is right."
Alexis nodded and said "We had pretty much the same talk with our parents, too. They said almost the exact same thing...Only at first, our Dad was ready to murder us!" Chase chuckled again and said "Yeah, no kidding...I admit, I was scared to the bone!" Snow giggled and said "I can imagine...I've seen Grandpa upset..."
