				Daren sighed deeply as the Jet began to take off.&nbsp; Though he didn't mind his job, it did get a bit wearing.&nbsp; Having to hear a group of children gabbing inanely for the hours-long flight without even any burbon to ease his tension...it was enough to drive a man mad, especially considering most of the children weren't strictly human as he understood the term.&nbsp; Where they came from and how, he didn't know.&nbsp; All he knew was this Learjet and the small house he was given on school grounds.<br><br>This trip though was better than most:&nbsp; the "children" were mostly older kids, the youngest being thirteen.&nbsp; Not only that, they were all human.&nbsp; They mostly seemed enthusiastic when he greeted them in his thick Australian accent and stereotypical cowboy hat at the Airport.<br><br>Two of the students caught his eye.&nbsp; They were high school students it seemed, and what was the most noticeable was that they were not fauning over being in an expensive jet with their friends like the rest of them.&nbsp; No, they were seperate from everyone else in seating and in attitude, seperate even from each other.&nbsp; They held books to kill time during the flight.&nbsp; They intrigued Daren and he found himself watching them more than the others, even though he knew that after tonight he probably wouldn't see either again.&nbsp; [ooc: if that liberty bothers you, I apologize; let me know and I'll fix it.]<br><br>----<br><br>The long flight ended at long last.&nbsp; After crossing the Atlantic Ocean from New York City, they flew for some time over Europe and decended into a mountainous region.&nbsp; The small landing strip that was part of the vast campus was surrounded by trees and the weather that evening was wet:&nbsp; a light drizzle dampened every surface outside.&nbsp; <br><br>When the Learjet set down, baggage was loaded onto a covered truck and Daren stepped out with the students, ready for the next part of his job.&nbsp; He raised his hands over his head to get the students' attentions.<br><br>"Alright mates," he said with a smile, "we have arrived!&nbsp; We will follow this truck over to the terminal where you will all check in.&nbsp; All the important paperwork has been done already, this is just a formality to ensure you all arrived safely.&nbsp; After that's done you will be escorted by shuttle bus to the dormitories."&nbsp; He began walking backward to the terminal, such as it was, still talking.&nbsp; The terminal was a low, modern looking building of white brick about the same size as a typical house.<br><br>"Your rooms are already assigned," he continued, "and upon arrival you will be shown the way to them.&nbsp; There is a set of dorm rules in your welcome packets I gave you as we boarded the jet, I hope you've read them."&nbsp; He smiled broadly and kindly at them as they reached the double doors to enter the brightly lit terminal lobby.&nbsp; "Your world-view is about to change.&nbsp; Please keep in mind you are safe here, safer perhaps than you were at home.&nbsp; Please go inside where its warm, dry, and bright, and follow the instructions you are given.&nbsp; Have fun."<br><br>When they entered, he went to his own jeep parked behind the terminal and drove home.<br><br>Meanwhile, the students inside were greeted by an astonishing sight:&nbsp; Although the lobby was clean and bright and dry as promised and for all intents looked normal, the people manning it were not.&nbsp; Behind the counter stood a tall woman who was not a woman:&nbsp; she looked more like a cougar transformed into human shape, covered in a soft tan fur, gold eyes warmly crinkled in a smile that was simultaneously disarming and alarming, as the sharp teeth showed in her slightly-protruding muzzle.&nbsp; There was also a male anthro wolf with a silver pelt and another female cat, this one resembling nothing so much as a tabby housecat.<br><br>"Hello children," said the cougar warmly.&nbsp; Her voice was silky and held the slightest hint of a purr.&nbsp; "If you'll line up here in two groups, we can get started.&nbsp; I'll take the girls, Donald will take the boys."&nbsp; She indicated the wolf as being Donald.&nbsp; After a moment of shocked silence the majority of the group split up into two nearly-even lines as instructed, with more than a little loud whispering to one-another.<br>

				The advertising pamphlet for Saint Grey’s Academy arrived at her house midway through her junior year at high school.&nbsp; It had engendered any number of ‘discussions’ with her parents.&nbsp; She knew she didn’t make friends easily.&nbsp; Heck, she even knew that most of the kids at her school thought of her as slightly creepy and weird.&nbsp; It wasn’t Katie’s fault that she liked books better than people.&nbsp; It certainly wasn’t her fault that all the other girls in her school could jabber about was facebook, and clothes, and boys, and iPhones, and all the things that really didn’t matter.&nbsp; Still, it had been an argument of sorts, until her father pulled out the usual argument-winner at the table.<br><br>‘We’re paying for it, so you’re going.&nbsp; That’s the end of it.’<br><br>And of course, her mother had to chime in with her own little attempts to make it all seem better.<br><br>‘It will be good for you Katie, and really, how many girls your age get to live in Europe?’<br><br>She almost wanted to say Europeans, but she knew that would just start the yelling all over, and mum would end up crying in her room.&nbsp; That was how she found herself, boarding pass in hand, presenting herself at the airport with her life in a trio of bags.&nbsp; She’d have a good library there, so she only was allowed to bring a couple of books to read on the plane.&nbsp; There were connecting flights after all.&nbsp; Home to Toronto, Toronto to New York, New York to… well wherever.&nbsp; The plane in New York was a private one, so there would be less messing about.<br><br>The first couple of legs were simple enough, as she was largely alone, and the stewardesses were accommodating of a teenager wanting to just be ignored for a few hours.&nbsp; It was the last one, on a private jet nonetheless, that set Katie’s teeth on edge and had her almost wanting to just have done with it, go back home, and face her parents’ wrath.&nbsp; Of course, being an obedient girl, she didn’t make a fuss.&nbsp; No, she climbed on board the jet with the other screaming children, and tried to find a place to herself.&nbsp; She was probably one of the oldest here, and that already set her apart.<br><br>Still, she managed to find a spot, smooth out her plain grey pleated skirt, and pull her plain grey sweater over her plain grey shirt and settle down to the complete works of Poe.&nbsp; She did her very best to just ignore everything else going on around her, not wanting to cause problems, not wanting to be noticed, and most especially, not wanting to make friends.&nbsp; Not with <em>that</em> lot.<br><br><div align="center">~*~*~*~</div><br>Stepping off the plane into the drizzle automatically had Katie thinking she was in England.&nbsp; Or B.C.&nbsp; Didn’t it always rain there?&nbsp; She listened to the instructions, getting a little damp, but not really actually wet, and trudged along, as back of the pack as she could get, on her way to the terminal, following a line of rushing and even scampering children.&nbsp; She obediently waited her turn, fidgeting the whole time, shuffling back and forth on her feet, and watching the toes of her shoes get darker with the moisture.&nbsp; When her place in line came up, she stepped up, in and onwards.&nbsp; She had listened to the little speech about the dorm rules, and the info packet.&nbsp; Hers was still tucked away in her satchel with her books.&nbsp; She’d read it when she was alone, and not trying to ignore people.&nbsp; She didn’t want to seem to be a keener beaver even before she got to her new school.&nbsp; The bit about world views changing was a bit over the top, but really, you carted a bunch of kids halfway around the world without much more than a pamphlet and a few words to the parents, you’d better do something over the top.&nbsp; The bit about being safe seemed to be a bit much too.&nbsp; Enough so, that Katie glanced around, wondering if perhaps there might have been lions or something in the mountains that ate wayward children.<br><br>Fun.&nbsp; The least likely thing ever to happen in Katie’s life.&nbsp; Still, she put on a proper student’s face, tucked the stray locks of light blonde hair behind her ears, and trudged right on inside with the others, prepared for yet another dreary private school.&nbsp; Okay… that was <em>definitely</em> not going to happen.<br><br>Nothing in her entire life had even remotely begun to prepare Katie for the sight in front of her.&nbsp; They weren’t… HUMAN!&nbsp; She stared.&nbsp; She was definitely not the only one.&nbsp; She stared harder.&nbsp; Still not the only one.&nbsp; She blinked a few times and rubbed her eyes.&nbsp; Nope, still not the only one.&nbsp; She stood there absolutely stunned.&nbsp; That just couldn’t be possible, could it?&nbsp; When she spoke, Katie actually jumped a little, and blushed, knowing she’d been staring at them like they were some kind of animatronic statues (okay, hoping they were).&nbsp; Without uttering a single sound, not trusting herself to make any kind of sound that was coherent, she shuffled into the girl line, and just kept on staring.<br><br>Okay… world-view changing.&nbsp; Check.&nbsp; What the hell had her parents gotten her into?

				Lauren Wilcox was content with her life. It's true she didn't have many friends, but it wasn't from a lack of trying on her part. She simply couldn't stand the celebrity gossip and frivolous conversation that the other sixteen year old girls seemed to live off. Lauren preferred to spend her time in a library insulated by the silence and lose herself in the pages of a good book. It wasn't a perfect life, but Lauren was happy.<br><br>Then the invitation to attend Saint Grey's Academy arrived and her parents latched on to the idea that she needed to broaden her horizons.<br><br>"You spend too much time reading Lauren. This will be good for you, and it's in Europe!" her mom exclaimed.<br><br>Lauren tried to explain that she was happy with her life, but her parents were adamant in their insistence that she accept the Saint Grey invitation. Not wanting to disobey her parents, Lauren reluctantly penned the acceptance letter.<br><br>---<br><br>Lauren looked up from her book as her connecting flight taxied into JFK airport in New York. She tucked her iPod into the pocket of her blue jeans and pulled up the hood on her white hoodie over her head, hiding her dirty blonde hair, as she collected her bag and entered the airport. It took her some time, but she finally arrived at the gate for the last leg to Saint Grey.<br><br>The first thing Lauren noticed as she boarded the private jet was that she was one of the oldest ones there. The younger children were shouting at each and generally causing mayhem. Lauren shuddered, and found herself a quiet corner near the back of the plane where she could pop in her earbuds and enjoy the rest of her book.<br><br>---<br><br>Upon disembarking from the jet, Lauren was glad that she wore her hoodie as it protected her from the wet weather she found herself in. She followed the rest of the students as they made their way towards the terminal and listened to their Australian guide as he explained the sign in procedure.<br><br>As they entered the terminal, Lauren's green eyes widened in shock. Standing before her was no human. The woman before them had the shape of human but instead of skin had soft tan fur, a cat like face, and sharp teeth. Lauren was convinced that she was still on the Learjet and that this was all a dream. She pinched herself hard, but didn't wake up, instead she was now surprised and had a bruise forming. Lauren cursed herself for shoving the welcome pamphlet into her bag without reading it. Perhaps then she would have known what she was getting herself into. Then the cougar-woman, Lauren could think of no better drescription, opened her mouth and spoke in a warm purring voice. Lauren still in a state of shock obediently made her way into the girl's line.<br><br>"I guess I'm not in Kansas anymore" Lauren whispered to herself.

				The cougar smiled as they each came up to her and pointed to a binder laying open on the counter in front of her.<br><br>"I'm Laura," she said to them, each in turn, "please sign in here.&nbsp; Daren checked you all off, I know, but that copy is for his records; this is for the school's."<br><br>The book Laura indicated had several columns:&nbsp; Last Name, First; Age; Grade; Species; Distinct Markings.&nbsp; The last filled entry said this:&nbsp; Belikov, Nikkita; 19; 12th; Raccoon; Black stripe on left cheek.<br><br>"The last column isn't necessary for you," Laura said, "all things considered, but you can fill it in with birthmarks if you like.&nbsp; And welcome to Saint Grey's Academy."

				Katie just couldn't take her eyes off the... umm... woman in front of her line.&nbsp; It wasn't a costume, that much was obvious.&nbsp; It wasn't a robot, of course, regardless of where her brain had gone just moments before.&nbsp; She was really a cougar.&nbsp; By the time she had shuffled her way up the line and was standing in place, Katie realized she'd been staring practically the whole time.&nbsp; She felt her cheeks flame hot, and she immediately dropped her eyes to the safest thing in the area, the book in front of her.<br><br>"Umm... thank you Laura.&nbsp; It was pretty easy to fill out, really.&nbsp; Not like a full on application or anything.&nbsp; In very short order Willis, Kathryn; 16; 10th; Human; None joined the list.&nbsp; She figured that there was no need to include anything else in the last part.&nbsp; After all, who really wanted to know about a little spot on her derriere.&nbsp; <br><br>A little nervous about the whole situation, she stepped to the side, gathering with the others who had already signed the book, listening to their excited little whispers, and glancing from time to time between Laura and Donald.&nbsp; Of course her mind couldn't help but notice that no one had mentioned the other cat woman.&nbsp; Who was she, and why was she here?&nbsp; Backup?<br><br>Finally thinking about it, Katie grabbed for her satchel and pulled out the information packet she'd been given, and started thumbing through it.&nbsp; What else had she missed?

				Lauren was a bit intimidated when it was her turn. She quietly whispered a thank you to Laura before quickly looking at the book Laura indicated. Taking the pen beside the book, Lauren quickly wrote down Wilcox; Lauren; 16; 10th; Human. She hesitated a bit at the last column, why did they need to know that. Her face flushing red in embarrassment, Lauren scrawled birthmark-inner thigh and put down the pen.<br><br>She quickly moved away from the book towards the other girls who had already signed. Lauren took the time to closely the examine Donald and the other woman while waiting for the rest of the girls to finish signing, wondering what would happen next.

				Once everyone had signed in, the tabby stepped over to the group.&nbsp; <br><br>"I'm Betty," she said in a soft, gentle voice.&nbsp; "I'll be escorting you to the school.&nbsp; If you step through this side door, you will find a bus waiting for you.&nbsp; The truck with your baggage will follow us up to the dorms, where you will be able to get your things.&nbsp; Some of the older students will then show you to your individual rooms.&nbsp; Each of you will be parntered with a student of your age who has been here for at least a semester.&nbsp; They know what they are doing.&nbsp; Please follow me."&nbsp; She stepped outside into the drizzle and climbed onto the waiting white bus, sitting in the driver seat.&nbsp; Once everyone was seated and more-or-less still, she began to drive.&nbsp; <br><br>On the opposite side of the airstrip, about three hundred yards past the fence, the trees stopped and there was a sheer drop of a hundred thirty-three yards.&nbsp; On the side opposite this, there was a gate that opened to a gravel road leading up the mountain at an angle of approximately nine degrees.&nbsp; The road curved like a snake up and up and up for nearly three miles, where it reached another tall fence and gate surrounding a large compound.&nbsp; The students could see as they entered the compound that it was composed of six buildings:&nbsp; four large three-storey buildings that were obviously the dorms proper, one that was labled CAFETERIA in white letters on red brick, and one that seemed to be a gym.&nbsp; The dorms were labled thus:&nbsp; Alpha, Beta, Psi, and Omega, both in Roman letters and Greek.&nbsp; Boys were distributed among Alpha and Psi, while girls were brought to Beta and Omega.&nbsp; The older girls were taken to Omega.<br><br>The layout of the buildings in the rectangular compound was as follows:&nbsp; The southwest corner (on one side of the gate they entered) held Alpha.&nbsp; The Southeast corner (on the other side of the gate) held Beta.&nbsp; Psi was in the Northeast corner and Omega was in the last corner in the Northwest.&nbsp; There was another gate to the north, presumably leading to the campus itself.&nbsp; Between Alpha and Omega was the cafeteria, between Beta and Psi was the gym, and in the middle of the compound was a grassy field about fifty yards by one hundred yards.&nbsp; There were gazebos in front of each dorm and benches along the outside of the field.<br><br>When the girls were escorted into Omega building, they were greeted by a large lobby filled with a dozen or so students of various species.&nbsp; They were all girls and all seemed to be at least 19.&nbsp; The dorm director, a stocky mouse, gave a short speech about safety, following rules, and being nice.&nbsp; Then, each new student was given an ID card with a magnetic strip.&nbsp; It was used for everything on campus:&nbsp; meals, dorm entry, any money the students would make or had in bank accounts could be put on them.<br><br>Then the girls were split into small groups among a few of the older students.&nbsp; Both girls ended up with a chunky rabbit with gray fur and green eyes who chattered at her and the other two girls about a great many unimportant things until they reached the first room on the second floor:&nbsp; Lauren's and Katie's room, number 232, one of the few suites that housed more than two students.&nbsp; <br><br>"You two ended up with the same partner," the rabbit said to them.&nbsp; "She's a good student and has been here for a few years."<br><br>Through the door was a living room-type area with an entertainment center featuring a large plasma TV, an X-Box 360, a Playstation 3, and a hundred different games and videos.&nbsp; There was a couch, a table with four chairs, a kitchen area with a sink, a fridge, and a microwave, and four doors in the opposite wall from the hall entrance.&nbsp; One on the far right was open, showing a tidy room with a desk, dresser, full-sized bed dressed in blue Doctor Who bed spreads, and a closed closet.&nbsp; The center-right door was also open showing the bathroom and shower.&nbsp; The left two were closed.&nbsp; Everything was tidy and clean.<br><br>Their roommate was sitting at the desk in her room, papers spread all around and textbook open.&nbsp; She was a fox with a long bushy tail tipped with white fur, rust-red fur all over except her belly (which was exposed underneath a short-cut tank top), and ears that were laid back against her head in frustration as she scribbled furiously over the paper working on, presumably, homework.&nbsp; She didn't seem to have noticed them enter.<br>

				Why was it that Katie felt somewhat less intimidated by the third woman?&nbsp; Was it appropriate to think of them as hers?&nbsp; Thinking Betty was definitely easier on her mind, at least at first.&nbsp; She hadn't had enough time to actually read through the pamphlet, but she sure hadn't noticed anything in there about being greeted by a cougar that stood up and talked, or escorted by a house cat to the school.&nbsp; Katie quietly stuffed the packet back in her satchel and swallowed slightly, nodding along with the others at the simple enough instructions.&nbsp; She supposed that they kept them simple because of the sheer shock of the situation the kids found themselves in.<br><br>She stayed quiet quiet, and settled into the bus as far forward as she could get.&nbsp; Everyone always took the back seats, so they could be as far away from the driver as possible, and so they wouldn't be thought of as 'goody-goodies,'&nbsp; so Katie knew that she'd most likely get left completely alone for this leg of the trip.&nbsp; She watched out the window so that no one would think to try and talk to her, keeping an eye on the terrain through the mist-speckled glass.&nbsp; The whole while, she was trying to make things make sense in her head.&nbsp; A slightly terrifying thought struck her just as the bus was pulling up to the school buildings.&nbsp; Was she here to get turned into.. whatever those were?&nbsp; Was that even possible?<br><br>Katie let herself be sorted into the smaller groups, and headed off, as directed, towards building Omega.&nbsp; Last House.&nbsp; Strangely fitting, if you thought about it.&nbsp; Once again, the misting drizzly rain had her damp but not wet by the time she scuffed her shoes on the entrance mat and stepped inside, looking up and around at the place, and noticing that the cat people at the airplane terminal had most definitely not been the only ones.&nbsp; She even took the time to glance about at the other girls in her group, and blushed as she realized she was one of the youngest here.&nbsp; That brought on another bout of staring at her shoes, and tucking stray bits of hair behind her ears.&nbsp; Smaller and smaller groups were winnowed, until there was just a few of them left, and they all got confronted by a stout bunny woman.&nbsp; It was all Katie could do to not break out into hysterical laughter.&nbsp; Here she was feeling more than a little like Alice in Wonderland with nothing around her safely ensconced in reality, and she was about to be escorted by a bunny.&nbsp; In a very very strange way... it kind of made sense.<br><br>By the time they made it to being her and one other girl with the bunny woman, Katie took a brief moment to glance at her partner.&nbsp; At least she wasn't going to be the only one here in whatever room they ended up in.&nbsp; She wasn't entirely sure she could take that.&nbsp; Returning her attention to the bunny woman, she mumbled a soft thank you, and headed into room 232.&nbsp; Her first impression was that it was Huge!&nbsp; The whole room was about the size of a decent apartment back home, and even had its own kitchen.&nbsp; The game toys were practically brand new, and the television would be to die for in someone more inclined to watch it than Katie.&nbsp; The whole thing was just completely amazingly mundane.<br><br>Her eyes wandered, where Katie did not (Still standing a few steps inside the door, as she was), and finally came to rest on the one jarringly different thing in this whole scenario.&nbsp; A big bushy tail.&nbsp; She stood there and blinked for a few minutes, taking in the fact that the girl was acting so completely normally, all while looking so completely not normal.&nbsp; Katie had completely forgotten about the other girl with her when she cleared her throat and called out in a slightly shaky voice that gave away every bit of the confusion and startlement she'd been feeling since the terminal building.&nbsp; "Umm.&nbsp; Hello?"

				Lauren boarded the bus with the other students. She spent the bus riding gazing out the window, her mind trying to come to grips with what was happening to her. She was in a school with what appeared to be animal-like creatures. Did they used to be humans? Was it some sort of genetic experiment? Lauren shook her head as the bus finally arrived at their destination. <br><br>Lauren was herded with the older students and directed towards House Omega. Lauren listened as the dorm director outlined the rules and distributed their I.D. cards. At least in this regards, the school seemed like any other private boarding school. This hint of normalcy made the whole situation more real in Lauren's mind. The group was further split and escorted off by the older students. Lauren found herself with another girl from the group, who seemed just as out of her depth as Lauren did. This thought comforted Lauren, she didn't think she could handle this experience by herself. <br><br>They were finally led to their room, 232, and Lauren was amazed by the size of it. The place was more like a suite, with a common area, kitchen and separate bedrooms. In one of the bedrooms there sat a fox, who by the looks of it, seemed very frustrated with something. Lauren followed the other girl into suite and kept silent as the other girl uttered a greeting.<br><br>

				Liberty froze, her ears flying up and around, then she spun her head around in surprise.&nbsp; Then her eyes lit up and she rushed into the common area straightening her shorts, which flashed her pink panties as she stood.<br><br>"HI!" she exclaimed.&nbsp; "I'm Liberty, you must me my roommates!"&nbsp; She held out a hand to them to shake.&nbsp; Her hand was like a paw, but morphed mostly into a human hand, but with fur and claws.&nbsp; "How was the flight?"

				Katie was flat out fascinated.&nbsp; She stared as those ears twitched and flipped about.&nbsp; They reminded her so very much of her cat back home when they did that little dance about.&nbsp; When the owner of those ears bounced up, flashing the little bit of pink, Katie stared there too.&nbsp; Not because she was particularly interested in another ... umm... person's underwear, but because the colours were so different that they definitely drew the eye.<br><br>Of course, when she realized what she'd just seen, Katie blushed about as bright red as a young lady could get, and even let out a tiny squeak of embarrassment before ripping her eyes upwards as fast as possible to land on the face of the girl bounding out to meet them.&nbsp; Strangely, Katie could easily tell that it was a girl, even if she ignored the fact that the t-shirt was tight enough to make that known.&nbsp; Liberty just looked... like a girl fox.&nbsp; How very odd.&nbsp; She looked down at the offered paw and slowly reached out to shake it, feeling the fur, and the warmth, and the genuine realness of it in her own hand.<br><br>"Umm... hello.&nbsp; I... I'm Katie.&nbsp; They didn't tell us that... umm... there'd be... well... you here."&nbsp; It was concertedly rude, to be sure, but it was the only thing that her brain could possibly come up with at the moment.&nbsp; Mundane things like plane flights to foreign countries at her age were just so very passe already.&nbsp; "It was good, I guess.&nbsp; &nbsp;The younger kids were annoying?"

				Lauren watched as Liberty's ears rose, and blushed as she saw a flash of pink of what could only be the girl foxes underwear. She let her eyes sink to floor in embarrassment and waited till Liberty got to her visitors. <br><br>Lauren reached her hand to take the offered paw. The tactile sense of Liberty's soft fur really hammered home that everything she saw that day was real. It warm and soft and felt just like her cat did back at home. <br><br>"Hi.... my name is Lauren... It's nice to meet you" Lauren replied hesitantly. "The flight was alright." Lauren turned towards the girl that identified herself as Katie and offered her hand to shake. It looked like they would all be living together and Lauren wanted to make a good impression on both her new suitemates. "Hi Katie, I'm Lauren" she shyly said.

				"Kids," Liberty said with an eye-roll.&nbsp; "I'm glad they keep them in the other dorm.&nbsp; Please come in, pick rooms!&nbsp; Get settled!&nbsp; You missed dinner by an hour, so you can have some of my food if you want."&nbsp; Her voice held the hint of a Spanish origin.&nbsp; She gestured to the fridge and to her room, the latter of which she went to, inviting them in.&nbsp; When she got to her room, she pulled out an array of canned soups, Ramen, sandwich supplies, frozen party pizza, frozen chicken of several types, microwaveable macaroni, and a variety of snack foods like potato chips, snack cakes, and pudding cups.&nbsp; There was enough food to feed them for a week.<br><br>"Help yourself, I hoard food," she said.&nbsp; "It'll be replaced within twenty-four hours I assure you. You can use my microwave, or you can take something else. I remember the 'meal' they provided on the plane.&nbsp; You're probably hungry.&nbsp; There's soda and juice in the fridge too."&nbsp; Her figure didn't seem to match her statement and evidence of hoarding food:&nbsp; she was slender with wide hips and a small bust.

				Katie politely shook hands with Lauren, introducing herself directly there as well.&nbsp; After the feel of a paw in her hand, and the soft fur against her palm, shaking hands with a normal hand was both a little strange feeling, and a wonderful comforting normality.&nbsp; Everything about Liberty was just so strangely juxtaposed.&nbsp; She acted <em>just</em> like every other teenager Katie had met at private schools, but she had fur everywhere, and a snout!&nbsp; Free of hands to shake, Katie simply stood, nodded politely, and fidgeted with her skirt.&nbsp; A glance at Lauren when the rooms were offered, and Katie shrugged, planning to pick whichever one was left after Lauren had her choice.&nbsp; Of course, if she didn't pick one, then Katie would pick the one closer to Liberty.<br><br>Of course, thoughts of rooms and whatnot got rather rapidly derailed by the mention of food.&nbsp; She hadn't eaten anything but the little packets of salted nuts on the flights in well over twelve hours, and when food was mentioned, Katie's stomach decided to voice its protest.&nbsp; Almost immediately, Katie blushed, and clutched her hands over her stomach, following Liberty and finally muscling up enough courage to talk.&nbsp; "I think something to eat might be a good idea.&nbsp; You sure do have a lot.&nbsp; Umm... I noticed in the information pamphlets that we have to pay for things here?"<br><br>She glanced idly about her roomie's bedroom, noticing the prevalence of Doctor Who stuff, and the neatness which she kept everything.&nbsp; When the hoards of food, and even junk food started sort of appearing, Katie couldn't help but glance once again at Liberty.&nbsp; She was pretty darned fit looking.&nbsp; If Katie had eaten all of that, she'd have been like five hundred pounds in a week.&nbsp; "Umm... how do you... you know... stay so thin with all that food?"

				Upon mention of picking rooms, Lauren saw Katie's shrug and looked at the available rooms. There were two available rooms, one to the far left and one beside the bathroom and closer to Liberty's room. "May I have the one of the far left?" Lauren asked shyly. She didn't particularly fancy being next to the shower, especially since she was a light sleeper and the noise of a late night shower would probably wake her up. At least her roommates didn't seem bad. Katie seemed like a nice girl, and Liberty seemed very outgoing and was exactly like some girls she knew back home, except she looked like a fox!<br><br>Lauren was amazed that Liberty could keep her figure with the amount of junk food she ate. Realizing that it had been a long time since her last meal. "Thank you Liberty" Lauren replied as she helped herself to one of the pudding cups that Liberty offered.

				Liberty shrugged as she grabbed a small bag of Cheetos.&nbsp; <br><br>"My metabolism is naturally faster than a human's," she said.&nbsp; "Besides, I'm usually pretty active.&nbsp; As far as the money goes, yeah.&nbsp; We don't pay for meals at the cafeteria, but other food and drink, clothes, what have you, it all gets paid for.&nbsp; You can get a job on campus if you don't have money coming in from family."&nbsp; When Lauren thanked her, Liberty smiled brightly at her.<br><br>"No problem at all!" she said.

				Lauren stood slowly eating a cup of pudding. She was growing really curious about this school now that she was physically here. "How are the classes? Are there many after-class activities or clubs? Questions began to pour out of Lauren's mouth. She stopped herself with just two, she didn't want to overwhelm Liberty with a slew of questions. <br><br>She looked around the room, hoping that their bags would arrive soon.

				Lauren nodded her head as she listened to Liberty's response. She made a note to get the master list from the advisor. While she wasn't too keen on the sports she did want to see if there were things that leaned towards the nerdy end of the spectrum. Judging by the fact that there was a roleplaying game, Lauren was quite hopeful that she would find something to suit her. <br><br>Katie's question after the bags arrived were a god-send for Lauren. She was thinking the exact same thing and was glad that someone else had voiced the question.

				Lauren sighed as she finally made it to her room and shut the door. Finally some time to herself to sort everything out. She looked around the room, noticing the quite spartan look that any empty room has. That would definitely need to be changed, but first things first, it was time to unpack. Lauren worked methodically as she quickly emptied her bags and filled up the wardrobe and closet. <br><br>As she worked she heard the bang of a door closing rather quickly. She wondered what was going on but put it out of her mind as she was almost done. Once everything was finally in their proper place and her bags empty, Lauren sighed with relief as she collapsed on her bed. Unpacking was always tiring and left her in quite a sweat. Figuring it was a good time for a shower, Lauren quickly gathered her shower supplies and a towel, and slipped out of her room and into the empty washroom.

				Katie stood there in Liberty's doorway, blinking a little, somewhat confused, as things settled in her brain.&nbsp; She caught a glimpse in her peripheral vision of motion down the way, so Lauren must be up to something too, but right now, Katie had something else on her mind.&nbsp; Very deliberately, she stepped inside of Liberty's room, putting her closer to the slender little foxgirl and taking a deep breath.<br><br>"I've never seen anyone with fur everywhere either.&nbsp; Or a tail, for that matter.&nbsp; I.. I've never... thought of myself as sexy before."&nbsp; Colour was rising in her own cheeks as she confessed some things to her new roomie.&nbsp; "I...

				Lauren stood in the shower and let the hot water cascade over her body. It had been a long flight and she luxuriated in the steam as the hot water loosened muscles that had been tight from the travel. Taking out her favourite body wash, Lauren began to slowly lather herself up. Her hand travelled up her slender legs, over her hips, across her stomach, up and around her firm, perky breasts before reaching her neck and face.&nbsp; As she let the water rinse off the soap, Lauren wondered what her new roommates were up to.<br><br>Lauren sighed after some time. As pleasant as the shower was, she didn't want to stay in there forever. Turning off the water, Lauren grabbed her towel and began to dry herself off. Once dry, she looked around the washroom for her pyjamas. Her heart began beating faster as Lauren realized that she didn't bring it with her. A blush rose up Lauren's body as she realized that she'd have to go back to her room clad only in a towel. <br><br>Wrapping the towel around herself, she was dismayed to see that it barely reached the bottom of her bum. Lauren's blush intensified as she realized that her impromptu covering was shorter than a miniskirt. Deciding to make a run for it back to her room, Lauren silently opened the bathroom door and peered down the hallway making sure that the coast was clear. Determined to make it to her room unseen, Lauren quickly strode out of the bathroom closing the door behind her. Unseen to her however, was that a corner of her towel got caught on the bathroom door. <br><br>Lauren emitted a high pitched gasp outside the bathroom, as her towel was ripped off her body.&nbsp; &nbsp;

				When Liberty walked over towards her, Katie practically froze.&nbsp; She'd no idea at all what the slow wagging of that bushy tail actually meant, or the way the fox girl's ears swiveled slightly, and flicked.&nbsp; She flat out shivered when she felt those not-quite paws rest on her shoulders, and when she heard what Liberty whispered to her, Katie's eyes shot open wide, and she gasped rather noticeably.&nbsp; All the way down in her middle, she felt something stir, sending little excited energy shooting through her, concentrating in her chest, and between her legs.<br><br>It took a moment before she followed Liberty out of the room, moments after poor Lauren ended up performing a completely impromptu strip show for them both.&nbsp; On top of what had just happened with Liberty, both in Katie's room, and then in the fox's, Katie just stood and stared, her mouth open in shock.&nbsp; Lauren was hot!&nbsp; Katie's eyes flickered over hard little cherry pink nipples, and down, to catch a glimpse of tufts of curls between those legs, just before it was all covered up deftly by a fast thinking Liberty.&nbsp; Her cheeks had been pink before, but now they practically glowed red.&nbsp; And then Liberty just flat out offered to strip down to her underwear for them both.&nbsp; Things were going far further than even Katie would have imagined, but no one could be more shocked than herself at the words that came out of her mouth next.<br><br>"You know... this is ridiculous.&nbsp; We're all girls, and we're going to be living together.&nbsp; We're going to see each other like this a lot, and we can't just go about being all embarrassed about it every time it happens.&nbsp; We could all just... you know, hang out... umm... n..naked... together tonight... t...to get... you know... used to each other?"&nbsp; By the end, she realized what she was saying, and was blushing up a storm, and stammering to beat all, but there was no stopping her mouth from making the words happen.&nbsp; And then they were there.&nbsp; Who knows, maybe they'll just say no and that'll be that?

				Lauren was mortified. She couldn't believe that both of her roommates saw her completely naked. If only the earth would form a whole and swallow her whole. This was bar none the most embarrassing thing that had ever happened to her. She was grateful when Liberty found something to hide her nude form under. It was only then that she noticed how close Liberty was standing to her. Her tail was slowly moving back and forth, brushing against her feet. The sensation was disconcerting, but strangely comforting. <br><br>Liberty words caused Lauren's blush to intensify. She felt a strange warmth in the pit of her stomach upon imagining Liberty naked. She'd never thought of girls like that before. Lauren turned towards Katie as she made her suggestion. For the first time she noticed that Katie's pajamas didn't leave much to the imagination. It was definitely too small for her. Drinking in her long legs and the way the cloth of the pajamas followed the curves of Katie's form, Lauren felt her nipples grow hard, poking against the thin fabric wrapped around her body. <br><br>"I think th..that's a good idea. There's no point being constantly embarassed.... Plus both of you have seen me naked!!!!" Lauren managed to stammer out.

				Lauren stared in disbelief as Liberty casually took off her clothes. She felt slightly hot as she saw Liberty's round furry white breasts tipped with pink nipples. The white fur on her belly extended down her body. Lauren's eyes slid towards Liberty's bubble bum covered in red fur and down her legs. She had never seen another person completely naked, let alone a fox-girl! She blushed deeply as she realized that she was staring and turned to look elsewhere.<br><br>Her blush brightened as she saw Katie remove her top, exposing her tantalizing breasts to the cool apartment air. Lauren's eyes flicked between the two, now naked, girls. It was such a contrast, the smooth skin of Katie's compared to Liberty's fur. Taking a deep breath, Lauren released her grip on the throw rug letting it fall towards the floor. She shivered a bit as the cool air circled around her breasts, over her skin, and between her legs.<br><br>When Liberty and Katie's word sunk into her, Lauren got extremely nervous. Sex?! She had never had sex before, let alone with a girl. Not that she didn't want to, both Liberty and Katie seemed to stir something deep within her. Lauren was worried however that they would laugh at her. She was woefully inexperienced in matters of sex, she hadn't even kissed anyone yet!&nbsp;

				She felt all kinds of nervous about being naked at all, her arms kept wanting to lift up and cover herself from the eyes of her room-mates.&nbsp; Why the hell had she suggested this?&nbsp; It was absolutely crazy!&nbsp; Still, Katie couldn't help but feel the little flushes of heat in her middle, causing all kinds of strange emotions to run through her, complete with little tingles in very odd places.<br><br>And then, with a flumph of cloth, they were all naked, and Katie was looking at Lauren, feeling the blush in her cheeks, but not exactly looking away either.&nbsp; Not like last time.<br><br>Then Liberty went and distracted her again, and what was a bright pink blush started creeping down her neck and onto the top of her chest.&nbsp; Katie probably didn't even know that she had licked her lips to get moisture back in them, wondering just what it was all like, doing sex with other girls, and all.&nbsp; She also wondered if maybe Liberty would be interested in showing.<br><br>The exclamation of fur brought a sudden confused look to the otherwise distracted Katie, who followed Liberty's gaze to the spot between Lauren's legs, where her pubes had fluffed up after her shower.&nbsp; Good heavens.&nbsp; At this rate, Katie's blush was going to be permanent.&nbsp; She could feel the curls of hair against her palm, as well, brought into sharp awareness as soon as they were mentioned on her roomie.&nbsp; A moment afterwards, the brightly blushing Katie squeaked in a moment of self-shame, as she yanked her hand away from her own crotch, before the other girls noticed that she had unconsciously been touching herself.

				Lauren wanted to cover herself with her hands but controlled her impulse. She blushed when Liberty brought attention onto her pubes and tried desperately to look at anywhere but Liberty. That's when she noticed Katie's hand near her pubes. Lauren felt a blush rise up to her face. She had touched herself once a couple of weeks ago and had remember the intense pleasure it brought to her. Seeing another girl do it caused a pleasant tingling sensation to form between Lauren's legs.<br><br>"I'm s..sorry, I... I'm just really nervous" Lauren stammered.

				Katie's word caused Lauren to realize that she was starving. As if in agreement, her stomach decided that it was the perfect time to let it be known that it was hungry. Wincing at the loud growl, Lauren said "Guess it is time to eat." Showing more confidence than she felt, Lauren walked naked towards the table with the frozen pizza. She looked at the various pizzas laid out till she spotted her favourite, Hawaiian. "What do want Katie? Liberty? We can warm up the pizzas together to save time" Lauren said. Doing something so normal helped Lauren take her mind off the fact that she was naked and helped her relax about the whole situation.

				"Thanks Katie!" Lauren said with a smile as she stole a look at the girls body. She felt much comfortable being naked around the other girls. However, it was still a new experience seeing the other girls naked and Lauren couldn't help but take a peek when the girls weren't watching her. There was just something about seeing another girl's body that caused Lauren to feel flushed. It didn't help that Liberty mentioned that she had been with girls before. It was enough to put the idea in Lauren's head. She tried to banish those ideas, it's not like any of the other girls thought her that way.<br><br>"I'll definitely take you up on your offer of English help. I hate writing essays" Lauren replied as her face contorted in disgust with the thought of essay writing.

Her eyes kept wandering to Liberty's naked body and she kept glancing at Katie who was busy in the kitchen.

				The revelation that at least someone knew what was going on was a relief.&nbsp; Maybe she could get through this if only she knew what to expect.&nbsp; The reference once again to her tattoo had Katie glancing down to her shoulder, to glance at the bruise-purple coloured pattern that had spontaneously grown there, and once again realizing that she was utterly naked, bringing another fresh blush to her cheeks.<br><br>"Classes?&nbsp; You mean... like teachers and everything?&nbsp; And there will be others there?"&nbsp; It was suddenly a weird moment in Katie's life.&nbsp; Even the idea that there would be a full classroom of girls all chatting and showing off their tattoos, and being special made her cringe inside.&nbsp; How could she not have known all this time?<br><br>"So... what do I do now?"

				Liberty nodded.&nbsp; "Yes, plenty others who will share your discomfort and confusion," she said.&nbsp; "What you do now is go eat, have some coke, and play some video games with me."&nbsp; She then leaned to Katie and placed a kiss on her cheek.

				Five minutes of complete panic, and Liberty managed to dismiss it all with practically a wave of her hand.&nbsp; Katie couldn't help but grin, and feel a little bit foolish at the whole situation when faced with such a completely mundane answer.<br><br>The kiss on the cheek was nice, and brought a warm blush once again to her face, and her hand raised up to brush away the tickles the vixen's whiskers left behind.<br><br>"Alright... good plan.&nbsp; What video games do you want to play?&nbsp; I'm pretty killer at Mario Kart..."

				Liberty got up and went into the common area and got another cup of coke, took a drink, and offered some to Katie.<br><br>"I have games from every new-age systems," she said.&nbsp; "In fact, I have most of the popular games.&nbsp; I can probably <em>get</em> Mario Kart without trouble.:

				From talking about her becoming a freak of nature, or at least a much smaller slice of nature, to talking about Mario Kart, it was kind of jarring, and Katie just kind of followed along, meekly accepting the cup of coke and sipping at it, pausing and wondering if there was ever a case of a Child of Lillyth who ended up wrong somehow.<br><br>"Umm... whatever you've got is good.&nbsp; If you teach me something new, I'll at least get a chance to get my mind off of... you know.. me."

				So Liberty taught her the joys of Crash Team Racing, an old game but one she had always enjoyed.&nbsp; That night, Katie would sleep heavily, waking by Liberty's shaking of her shoulder.<br><br>"Wake up," she said.&nbsp; "It's seven!&nbsp; You have to be in the lobby downstairs at eight thirty!&nbsp; You have time for a shower before breakfast opens at seven fifteen, do you remember where it's at?&nbsp; I'd show you but I have an early class today."
