OK, here we are, with the next chapter. Don't worry, it's not over yet! Thanks for reviewing, KaylaMicael, Emmygirl822, frumouttamimind, and Guest (I actually meant that I'd like someone else to write that if they wanted to).
I woke up the next morning, now starting to have doubts of what I'd just done. I'd slept with someone for the first time in my life, at the age of fifteen!
"Well, guess your first time should be with someone you know well." my mind quipped. My toon mind was always doing that – teasing the controlling part of my mind. That control beamed back a message: It's still major!
I glanced around. It turned out I was the only one awake, so I got dressed, and went back to human form. Immediately, the full impact of my actions hit me. My brain started screaming at me. What the hell were you thinking? Did you realize that an underage girl engaging in intimacy is lawfully considered rape? How much did you even think about this?
I wanted to scream out loud. None of what my mind was saying was wrong. It was true, an under-sixteen girl like me, doing that, is considered rape, even if it was consensual. I hadn't really thought about it, mostly because the concept was a bit daunting. Before the summer, I'd never even been topless with a boy. Now I'd gone the whole way!
I couldn't really remember everything happening. I did remember freezing up at the beginning, and not really thinking properly. My mind didn't seem to absorb much. I didn't see much...I remember seeing stars, and I could hear faint squeals. Were they from me? I couldn't remember. I only remember how I felt.
It was as if I was floating above myself, yet at the same time, I was never more aware of being in my own skin before...or my own fur, whatever...even though it isn't really my own, since I wasn't born a toon.
Suddenly, fears filled my head. What if the precautions we'd taken didn't work? I knew quite well that there were tiny chances of them not working, even though the pills were still on my dresser and I had every intention of using them. But I'd read about a girl that got pregnant, even though she and her boyfriend/fiance always used protection and she'd been taking the pill since she was 16.
There was no time to think about that, though. I would have started packing for going home properly, if there hadn't been a knock on the door.
"Hey, you two done yet?" It was the other two.
Yakko finally woke up, and blinked, but soon regained composure, as I started blushing. "You gonna let them in?" I asked. It was a toon thing to immediately be dressed literally in the blink of an eye without doing anything. Which he was, the next time I'd blinked. I opened the door, since we were both dressed, asking. "Have you packed yet?"
"I had to pack!" Dot exclaimed. "This is supposed to be my room too, you know." On the last line, she threw a glare at me which I knew wasn't genuine. After all, all she had to do was speed-pack.
I rolled my eyes. "Like it's a problem, sharing a room with a sibling. I've seen the water tower in the cartoons." (They had a triple bunk bed).
Dot made a 'whatever' gesture and told the boys to go. The minute they were out, Dot packed all her stuff in seconds (toon thing), and jumped onto her bed, eying mine with interest.
I recognized the look on her face. "Oh please, not this!" I begged. "Dot, please don't interrogate me about this! It's something I keep to myself! I told you after the third date, I don't kiss and tell."
"Aw, come on, Princess Alexandra!" Dot whined in her cutest tone. "You told me everything else! I'm not asking for a second-by-second account. Don't you EVER talk about boy action with your friends?"
I'll admit, I did stop to think about that. Sophie never talked about boys. Heather did, but it was never about boy action. The girl in our group who talked about it most was Kaylee, who was actually a junior this year. She was boy mad and seemed to hook up with half the seniors. But she'd at least saved her first time until she was with someone she liked. And Dot was right, she had told us a little bit about what it was like, although not that much.
"But seriously," I said out loud. "It was your brother. Don't you find that weird at all?"
Dot simply smiled. "I don't have to think about that, do I?"
"You do if I quit using the male pronoun and say his name at any opportunity." I teased.
"I can ignore it."
"You said friends."
"I thought we were friends by now, at least!"
"I've started thinking of you as more of a sister by now." It was true. Summer had never been like this one. I had been friends with the Warners at first. Later they became an annoyance, and then just something to avoid. And now...well, I loved Yakko, anyone could tell (except I made sure Mom and Dad didn't...it would get kind of weird until I found a way to tell them) and Wakko and Dot actually were starting to feel like they were my siblings too. Maybe it was to do with my honorary toon status (which was another thing I was keeping from my parents). Or maybe it was just the way the summer had turned out. But it had happened.
"Come on!" Dot pleaded. "Even if you think of me in sister terms, don't they talk about it too?" I sighed and started giving Dot a brief summary of what it was like.
YAKKO'S POV
I hadn't really thought about the bet I'd made with Wakko since we made it, after that first date with Alex. That was cause it wasn't important. But after we were done packing (in about one second precisely), I immediately said "Told you I'd get around Alex by the end of the summer. Pay up."
Wakko shrugged and handed over the money. "Good thing I thought you'd win. You going to stay with her?"
"Why not?" I'd actually started trying to work out a plan. Maybe, if I did it right, I would be able to see more of Alex than she imagined...
Anyone interested in what he's talking about? They're going home, and the Warners will have to stay with Alex's family for a couple days, but apart from that, they'll be back on the movie lot. So, what do you think will happen? Please review!
