Todd & Vixey


Todd wandered back from the stream, looking back at Copper who was joining Slade as they limped back toward their home outside of the forest.

"Goodbye Friend." Todd said silently to himself as he and Coppered looked at eachother eye to eye for the last time from across the stream.

He watched until their last outlines disappeared over the hills like the sun setting on a grief stricken day.

After seeing his friend leave, he went to search for Vixey. He stumbled along the various dirt paths until he arrived back at the burrow where he and Vixey had slept together for the last few nights.

As he approached the cave he smelled a familar scent. It was Vixey, she looked outside the cave and saw him.

"Todd!" Vixey cried. She pranced up to him and licked his face.

"Are you alright?" Todd asked.

"Yes, but you don't look so good." Vixey observed, as she saw how clinged his fur was.

It looked as if it were about to rain.

"Let's go inside." Vixey suggested as she felt a drop fall on her fur.

"Yes." Todd agreed and he limped inside with Vixey as his support.

Soon the rain was pouring outside.

Vixey looked at Todd, deciding on what to say.

"Todd....you saved my life when we were trapped in here...I don't know how I can repay you." Vixey said.

"I believe I know how you can repay me." Todd answered.

"How?" Vixey asked.

"Six." Todd answered

"Six?" Vixey asked again puzzled.

"You said you wanted six right?" Todd asked.

"Six what?" Vixey asked in a confused manner.

Todd crept closer to Vixey and he nuzzled her under her neck and after he did this their eyes met again.

Lifehouse - Somewhere In Between

I can't be losing sleep over this, no I can't...
And now I can not stop pacing...

Give me a few hours, I'll have all this sorted out...
If my mind would just stop racing...

"You said you, "Thought Six would be just right." Todd said again in a more mature manner.

Vixey gasped. She was finally starting to get the picture of what Todd wanted to do.

Cause I cannot stand still...
I can't be this unsturdy...
This cannot be happening...

"I did." Vixey answered.

Vixey looked into Todd's eyes.

"Todd, are you sure you want this?" Vixey asked.

"You do." Todd answered.

Vixey was surprised at his answer. She then looked away from him.

"Vixey....." Todd watched her.

"I always wondered when the fox I loved would finally say that to me." Vixey answered looking to the back of her dark burrow.

"You said you want to raise a family someday. Maybe that someday, is today." Todd said.

She then turned back facing Todd again.

This is over my head but underneath my feet...
Cuz by tomorrow morning I'll have this thing beat...

And everything will be back to the way that it was...
I wish that it was just that easy...

"I never told you that." Vixey stared at him.

"Oh, I can hear you say that in your sleep." Todd observed.

"When I sleep close to you at night I can hear the sound of you nurturing and protecting your children. Chasing out those hunters outside the burrow so they can sleep better and you're always watching over them as they sleep." Todd said.

"Todd..." Vixey gasped.

Cuz I'm wating for tonight...

Then waiting for tomorrow...

And I'm somewhere in between...
What is real, and just a dream...

What is real, and just a dream...
What is real, and just a dream...

"Vixey....I think this is the only time when I've ever been so sure of what I want for a future. Before I came back to the forest, I didn't really have too much to look forward to, but with you, I do know where my future is. It's making love to you....three or four times a night...." Todd chuckled.

"....and raising the family that you've been dreaming about since you were a kid yourself. Your dreams have become mine as well." Todd answered.

Vixey's face lit up with happiness and she nuzzled Todd.

Todd nuzzled back and when he got an opening he gently pressed his muzzle against Vixey's in a passionate kiss.

Would you catch me if I fall out of what I fell in...
Don't be surprised if I collapse down at your feet again...

I don't want to run away from this...
I know that I just don't need this...

After a moment they let go of eachother.

"Todd, you don't know how long I've waited for a Fox of my own. All of my sisters have kids and foxes that made love to them." Vixey explained.

"Well, you must be the youngest in your family." Todd pointed out.

"I am. But I'm still a virgin." Vixey answered.

"So am I." Todd replied.

Cause I cannot stand still
I can't be this unsturdy
This cannot be happening

"Will you be gentle with me?" Vixey asked looking into his eyes for any doubts.

"Yes, I will." Todd answered.

They embraced once more and kissed each other.

Cuz I'm wating for tonight...

Then waiting for tomorrow...

And I'm somewhere in between...
What is real, and just a dream...

What is real, and just a dream...
What is real, and just a dream...
