The newly-Spliced girl blinked her eyes and turned to see her friend. “Naru-chan!”
“Oh Kami-sama, it IS you,” Naru said with a tone of disbelief. As the blonde turned to her, Naru continued to stare and kept her mouth shut.
Usagi blinked once again, not expecting that kind of reaction even if Naru didn't know she was getting Spliced. “Naru-chan?” She asked doubtfully.
The cheeks of the girl in question seemed to puff out as her face started to turn red.
Usagi stood next to Naru with a concerned look on her face. “Naru-chan? What’s wrong?”
Finally, the redhead couldn’t hold it anymore. She burst out into laughter as she stared at Usagi. “BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!”
Usagi could do nothing but stare stupidly at Naru. What was so funny about her getting Spliced?
Luna frowned. What was Naru’s problem.
Finally, after some time, the girl calmed down. “Oh... Oh my.. Usagi-chan...” And before she knew it she was in another fit of giggles again.
“What’s so funny, Naru-chan?” Usagi asked and looked herself over, wondering why Naru was still laughing.
Meanwhile, Luna rolled her eyes. Great. She knew this was going to happen. People weren’t ready for a furry taur-version of Usagi.
Forcing herself to stop laughing, Naru finally got out, “But you look like another Luna!”
Luna’s eye twitched further. What was so bad about looking like her?
“... And what’s so wrong with that?” Usagi asked in confusion.
“Look at you!” Naru said. “You’re a big kitty!”
“Isn’t that what getting Spliced is all about?” Usagi asked trying to hide a small blush of embarrassment. Naru did make it seem like a silly thing.
“Oh, I’ve got nothing against you about getting Spliced,” Naru said. “But to get Spliced with... Luna!?”
Usagi blushed further and scratched the back of her head nervously. “I... Didn’t have any money.”
Naru blinked her eyes once...
Twice...
Thrice...
“BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!”
“Naru-chan...” Usagi whined pathetically, her tail swinging from side to side.
The Moon-cat lowered her head. Well, at least some things about Usagi were the same. She could still cry like she always did.
“Excuse me,” Came the voice of the Beagle-woman. The authoritative tone behind it was enough to garner the attention of both Usagi and Naru. “But is don’t you have something better to do?”
Usagi looked at the woman in confusion.
Looking up at the beagle-woman, Naru blinked her eyes. “Uh, well, you see...”
The Beagle-woman leaned forward. “We don’t take kindly to people making fun of us just because we get Spliced, you know?”
“Really?” Naru asked, noticing how a lot of the customers were staring at her. She was beginning to feel really small.
Usagi laughed nervously and tried to calm the woman down. “It’s nothing, really. She’s my friend.”
Naru nodded her head quickly. “Yeah! A friend. And I know her cat, so it seems odd she’d get Spliced like that.”
Luna stared at Naru pointedly, pouting quite a bit.
Another Spliced woman beamed at that. “Isn’t it adorable? They look so cute!”
Usagi blushed a little at the gushing from some of the others.
The Beagle-woman nodded. “Yes, I think it’s cute too.”
Seeing how people were starting to pay attention to Usagi and Luna, Naru was edging for the door.
“They are definitely cute. They...” Usagi blinked her eyes as she noticed movement. “And where do you think you’re going?”
Naru froze on the spot at hearing Usagi call for her. Chuckling nervously, Naru slowly turned to face Usagi. “Look... I’ll see you at school, okay? LATER!” And then she was running out the door at break-neck speeds, screaming something about ‘The Furries are coming, the furries are coming’.
All Usagi could do was blink and turn to the others in confusion. Maybe they could explain it to her.
The Beagle-woman shook her head. “Whatever...” She smiled gently at Usagi. “Anyway, Miss, we still need to take your pic, and get you some good food.”
Usagi forgot all about what happened at the mention of food. She beamed at the Beagle-woman. “Sure!”
(------)
The door to a trailer opened slowly, and at the entrance stood a rather torn-up looking Calico Fur; tire treads across his shirt, and a good deal of fur missing from the side of his head. “Damn, Xero was going WAY too far that time by pulling a donut atop my skull.”
Taking a step into the one large room of the trailer, the Calico fur closed the door behind him. He walked over to the desk and pulled out the chair, and just plunked down into it, feeling very, VERY tired.
And the one thing more tiring than the pain Maverik felt in his body...
...Was the pain in his wallet.
The Calico fur frowned as he looked about the desk-top, covered in bills upon bills. This was getting to be an expensive endeavor. The painting, the cleaning, the replacement pieces for the bathrooms, “Not to mention the addition of a kitchen we’re adding on, or all the tables that need to be bought,” Maverik thought with a groan.
Still, deep down, Maverik knew this would be expensive, but he hung in there. It was his dream to open up the world’s first All-Fur Strip Club. After all, some Adult Entertainment places had some Furs on call, but that was just for those with exotic tastes. Maverik wanted there to be a place that was all Furry women, all the time!
“But still, this attack recently,” Maverik thought. He shivered. Damn. That lady was scarier than Xero on a bad day. He’d never had anyone come after him with a sledgehammer.
“And I chose this place for relative safety,” Maverik thought irritably. The Calico Fur justw anted to see naked furry goodness, not have his head smashed into pulp my PMSin blondes with fast cars and faster mouths.
Pushing some bills aside, Maverik began looking for the card of the realtor who had gotten him this place. He needed to give her a call.
“Let’s see, let’s see, where is... Ah ha!” Maverik stopped as he found it
“Yes. You can sue them.”
“Okay. But anything Else that could make them less of a problem quicker?” “Smash her with a sledgehammer.”
