Roses - Welcome to the Neighborhood

~~~~~~~

This is my new series, yes a new one, and it's based on a real dog that I once knew, though highly anthropomorphized for story purposes. This is for BoBo, my neighbors husky of whom I fell in love with. Before I had my own dog, I used to climb to the top of a fence to pet and talk to this beautiful, large husky that would rear up to say 'hi'. He was so gentle, so loving, and I wanted him to be mine. He is the reason I love husky's so utterly and unequivocally.

Every time I went to the backyard, his nose was sniffing the air over the fence and when ever I came over to take care of him, he'd nuzzle my hand. This is for BoBo, my husky... the gentle giant that I'll forever miss. If love could heal you would have seen me one last time.

Usual mumbo jumbo, don't read if you're not supposed to.

Part 1-

~~~~~~ **

Aidan sighed as he rode the bus home, it was the weekend and he couldn't wait to get way from his school work. The young human was a Junior in high school and had several advanced courses that wore out his mind. Slumping back into the seat, he turned and looked out the window to the dry, dead grass that lined the sidewalks, the summer's heat and a freak drought having killed it all. These early months before that hellish time referred to as summer had been hot, and to add insult to injury, Aidan had the one bus in his entire school district that had no A/C.

Closing his eyes and tapping his wrist comp, Aidan sought refuge in his music as the volume increased from those little implants in the bit of skull right under his ears. Aidan's parents had bought him that little wrist comp and it, along with the premium grade sound implants that acted like headphones, was the most expensive system out there available to the general public. The little thing had every feature available short of virtual reality.

The god awful screeching of the air brakes on the bus brought Aidan's mind back to the hell his body was suffering, the sound somehow piercing the music blaring in his ears. Opening an eye only to have it stung close with sweat, Aidan wiped his face. Opening his eye again, this time without the stinging sweat pouring down his brow, Aidan looked out the window to see where he was. Outside was the familiar oak tree that was 4 blocks away from his house, this was Aidan's stop.

Grabbing his backpack and peeling himself from his seat, Aidan made his way through the aisle of his bus to the exit doors, trailing Geni and Humans alike. It was now all to common for Aidan's generation to see Geni walking freely without worry, the fight that had earned the Geni their rights having been won almost 73 years ago by one very brave mutt by the name of Hawkeye Granger with, of course, the help of the women that saved him from being put to death.

Hawkeye, however, is another story for another time.

As Aidan stepped off the bus, the wrist comp interface over his eyes instantly polarized to the bright glare of the Texas sun. He sighed yet again as he started what was actually a short walk to his house, but made unbearably long by the oppressive heat. By now Aidan was hoping against hope that the weather man would decide to grace his cozy little subdivision with rain, cooling the scorched earth. His wrist comp display, however, revealed the temperature to be 106 degrees with no rain scheduled at this time. Grumbling once again, he turned the music up again as he trudged wearily up the street to his house.

In the midst of disgustedly staring at the heat waves rolling off of the concrete roads that linked his neighborhood and countless others to the cities, built for those who chose to drive rather than fly, he noticed the large hover crate of the local moving company leaving the house next to his. Aidan stared curiously at the peculiar site and wondered if someone bought the house next door. The door to Aidan's home opened automatically as the house welcomed him home, a wave of cool air making him shiver as he went straight to the kitchen to grab a drink. Turning from the fridge, he jumped at the sudden apparition of the bright orange muzzle of in his field of view, it was his mother.

"Mom! I told you to quit that!" Aidan muttered.

The older vixen tried to keep a smile from taking over her muzzle but failed. 'Ah, you still got it Fey, still got it.' She loved sneaking up on her little kit. Aidan, not being a Geni, did not have hearing acute enough to hear her paws as she padded up behind him in what Aidan referred to as 'stealth mode.' Fey couldn't help herself, it was all she could do not to pounce her adorable kit to the floor, so she settled on sneaking up on him.

"I know, I can't help it! It's all I can do to not pounce you when you walk in that door. There's nothing like a long day at work to make you love what you have at home."

Aidan gave his mom a quizzical look as he took a gulp of his drink, watching the vixen stare at him. Aidan, contrary to believe, was not adopted. Fey was indeed his birth mother, and yet, he was still human. Well, at least mostly. Aidan's father was the great grand clone of Nathan Shepherd and while human, he had detested the prejudice that his Geni friends had suffered. He vowed not to put his children through that.

Thus, when Aidan's parents fell in love, married, and decided they wanted children, they went to the doctor to create both of their children's embryos. Geni and human are able to successfully mate together, but the genes of Geni partner in the pair are usually dominate, so Aidan's parents had his genes edited so that he would not be born as a fox, just as they had done with Aidan's older brother. The procedure was mostly successful, Aidan was born with a mixture of traits from both his mother and father.

Their baby boy had the bright amber fox eyes of his mother as well as elongated canines, the only failure to the procedure. Fey and Nathan decided long before they separated that when their children graduated high school, they would be given the choice to keep their looks or adopt their mothers, should they feel the inclination. Aidan's older brother did take the procedure and after six months of therapy, a large orange fox walked out of the hospital before leaving to work with his father in alpha station. Aidan, however, felt no inclination to change his looks, he felt that they made him unique. Of course, he did get a few jeers about being a 'hybrid.'

Laying his back pack on the table in front of him, Aidan removed his sketch book and proceeded to flip though it briefly. Lining the pages were male figures, Geni and human alike. As far as his mom knew, they were art exercises, but that was hardly the truth. Fey just watched her son from across the room, a mischievous little glint in her eyes.

"Alright, fine. I'll admit I was a little board," Fey told her son.

"A little?" Aidan answered back, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Fine, I was really bored. Hey! Did you see? We have new neighbors! A nice little old Dominican lady and her son moved in. I think they have a dog too! You should go say hi."

"Mom..."

"You're going over there whether you want to or not. They're all alone in a new place, you know how that feels, so we're going to welcome them."

"Fine mom, I'll go say hi, just, let me change," Aidan sighed.

"Good, take out the trash when you're done."

"Awe Mom! Why can't the house do it? No one else I know has to take out trash!"

"No one else has me for your mother, besides, it builds character."

'New neighbors huh, I wonder what they are like?' Aidan though to himself as he went upstairs. Meanwhile, down stairs, Fey looked at the open sketchbook. Every page was lined with extraordinarily handsome men as well as a few boyish women, both Geni and human alike. Some were shirtless, one or two totally nude, but most were wearing super tight clothes of the newest fashions. Fey sighed as she thought to her self, 'Art exercises my tail! I'm no spring chicken ya' know Aidan.'

"You are definitely your father's son," Fey mumbled to the empty kitchen.

~~~~~~~

Aidan grumbled as he pulled the trash bag from it's bin and walked to the backyard where he could put it in the trash receptacle. The heat was instantly back in all it's oppressive glory as Aidan left the sanctuary that his house had provided. He noisily threw the trash bag into the large outside bin that was around the corner of his house and dusted off his hands as he walked along the fence. He stopped to smell the Rose bush that he had nurtured for the past 10 years, the byproduct of a school project when he was little and when he looked back up, there was a gray muzzle trying to sniff the air over the fence.

'Well, hello. That must be the dog,' Aidan though to himself as he walked to the fence. Without thinking twice, Aidan reached over the fence and blindly started to scratch the ears of the animal behind the fence. Aidan watched the muzzle open wide and start to pant as he continued to scratch the dogs ears. When Aidan stopped, the dogs muzzle clamped shut quickly and the dog whined from behind the fence.

"Cute," Aidan remarked aloud to himself. He was quite surprised when he got an answer back, an embarrassed and quiet, "Thanks."

"What?"

"I said, thanks," said that soft voice again.

Something started to climb the fence, making Aidan back up. The gray and white muzzle of a husky sprang into view as well as fur covered shoulders, arms, and padded hands that were currently gripping the top of the fence. The neighbors didn't have a dog, the neighbor was a dog.

"Your welcome..." Aidan said as stared into the husky's eyes, they were a bright violet the likes of which Aidan had never seen. "Look, I didn't mean to do that. I know how most Geni feel about being pet and I'm sorry if I invaded you space. My mom told me you guys had a dog and I didn't think twice. I'm guessing she saw you."

"It's okay, I don't mind. I felt like a pup again and it's been a ages since I felt like that,"the husky boy said in his quite voice. "Name's Beaumont, Beau for short," he was holding out a hand for Aidan to shake.

"Aidan Shepherd, nice to meet you," shaking the offered hand.

"Likewise," Beau answered.

Aidan was instantly taken by those bright violet eyes and that vaguely timid voice. He was falling for this husky boy and he was falling hard. The broad shoulders, the sexy chest , the way his sweat was starting to turn the white spandex like material the dog was wearing transparent, all of it was Aidan's definition of perfect. Aidan had to wonder what he had done right with his life to have a veritable hunk move in as his next door neighbor.

"So, Beaumont. That's an interesting name," Aidan said.

"Well, that's where Miss Tali found me, she thought it was funny.."

"Mrs. Tali, would that be..."

"My foster mom? Yep. 'Bout yay high, curly hair, can't miss her," Beau said as he dropped an arm to about midway down the fence to demonstrate the diminutive stature of his foster mom.

"Uh, yeah, I think I did. I just got home from school."

"Ah, I just got here period!" Beaumont said, his voice growing in volume just a little bit, although, it was still rather quite. That voice just forced Aidan to smile.

"Yeah, well, you're lucky. You didn't have to ride the only bus in the entire school district that has no climate system today. The thing is so old that it still uses rubber tires! Do you know how hot it is on that bus? I bet with your fur, you'd pass out!"

"Your bus has no a/c? In this heat? That can't be legal," Beau said as his ears fell back.

"I'm afraid that it is. So, what school did you transfer from?" Aidan asked.

"Oh, I was going to Fox High, but I'm transferring into Thomson. From one school named after a war hero, to another.

"Well, they did say the world. Anyway, that's so awesome! we'll be going to the same school! What year are you in? I'm a junior myself."

"Me too! That's so cool! I haven't even started school and I've found someone who can show me around, awesome! But wait, that means-" Beau started as he looked down to think. "Oh no! I have to ride that bus too!"

"Ha! Feel the burn, love the burn! It's not so bad in the morning but in the evening, it's like being in a furnace!" Aidan chuckled as Beau winced and thinking about the bus. Aidan himself became quite aware of the heat again. "Speaking of heat, I really wish that we had a pool or lake nearby, I could do for a swim."

"Me too, so put on you're swim clothes and come on over, that's what I was getting ready to do before I smelled those. I've never smelled anything like that before, what are they?"

"What?" Aidan said as he looked to where Beau was pointing, it was his roses. "Those? Those are my roses. You've never smelled roses before?"

Beaumont shook his head, "Uh-uh, they're wonderful," he said before taking a long sniff of the air. Beau sneezed and rubbed his nose as Aidan tried to hold back a chuckle. The husky wowed Aidan when he giggled girlishly, "I guess one can really have too much of a good thing."

Aidan nodded as he turned to go inside, but he stopped. 'They don't have a pool.'

"Wait, did you say you have pool," Aidan asked suspiciously.

"Yes."

"No, you don't."

"Yes, I do."

"I've lived here for two years, I know you don't have one."

"Damn, I guess you caught me. I was trying to trick you into coming over here so I could fuck your brains out."

Aidan's mouth dropped open as he heard this comment, stunned by what he heard.

"Hey, I was kidding," Beau said while thinking, 'No I wasn't.'

"Oh," Aidan squeaked.

"Seriously though, I have a pool. We had it installed earlier today."

Aidan chuckled uneasily before staring at the husky again, eyes flickering all over the husky as he tried to burn that image into his mind. He had been trying to block out thoughts like that to keep the conversation simple, but the husky had shattered that wall. Aidan was now hoping against hope that the husky had been telling the truth about wanting to fuck him, this husky really turned him on. Aidan's reactions didn't go unnoticed by Beau and the dog felt uneasy as the boy stared at him like a piece of meat. Beau felt his erection, the result of having his ears scratched so wonderfully, start to spring back to life.

'I wonder if this kid is gay, he's kind of cute,' Beau thought to himself.

"Well, are you going to go change or what?" Beau asked quite suddenly, his soft voice startling Aidan.

"Oh! Right, I forgot."

"I'll have the house let you in, don't worry about Mrs. Tali, she went to the store."

Aidan nodded as he ran off, leaving Beau to stare. Aidan may not have been buff like Beau, but he was still very trim and carried the body of a runner, he got that from his mother. Beau stared at the back door to Aidan's house for a few more seconds before dismounting the fence. Looking down, he looked at the pronounced tent in his swim shirt, his cock having slipped from his speedo and under the spandex material.

'Damn, I'm horny as hell. I better rub out a quick one or else I might bone up around him. I would die if that happened.'

~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, back at Aidan's house, Fey was nearly knocked over as her son ran past her and thundered up the stairs to his room. Fey's nose tingled as she took notice of a different scent on her nose, it was the scent of her son's arousal.

'Gross, that's the last thing I wanted to smell!' Fey said quietly to herself as she clamped a hand over her nose.

'What's got him so worked up?' Fey asked herself as she padded to the back door to take a look outside. Still leaning over the fence was a rather buff and handsome looking teenage husky who just so happened to be looking rather dreamily at where her son had been moments before.

"Yep, definitely you're fathers son," Fey said aloud as she turned from the back door and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

~~~~~~~~~

Upstairs in his room, Aidan pulled his shirt off and tossed it to the side as he told the house to give him his bathing suit. A dresser drawer slid out and displayed the shorts as Aidan proceeded to remove his pants. As he did so, his underwear brushed over a throbbing erection that he didn't realize he had, making him gasp.

"Oh god, I hope mom didn't see me like this!" Aidan whined aloud. He took his shirt and shorts and placed them in the dirty clothes basket where, upon closing the hatch, the house whisked them away to be cleaned, dried, folded, and placed back in the appropriate dresser drawer.

Aidan reached for his swim shorts before he stopped, he knew that even if is erection were to go down, which it showed no sign of doing, being around that husky would bring it right back and that would be embarrassing. Aidan instead went to go double check that his door was locked before he returned to his window, naked and hoping to catch a glimpse of that husky. His window, of course was equipped with a privacy filter so, while Aidan could see out, no one could see in.

Reaching down and taking a hold of himself, Aidan started to stroke his shaft rapidly, wanting to bring himself to orgasm as fast as possible. He was helped along by the sight of the husky that now lay facing away from Aidan's house. Aidan, not knowing what was going on of course as well as not being able to see that far away, could not tell that the husky was not actually motionless as he leaned his front against the pool wall.

~~~~~~~

Down below, Beaumont was doing the same thing, head hunched over and resting against his arm, keeping his skull from grinding on the walk way. With his other arm, he was focusing on stroking himself rapidly, his long red length slicked by all the water. His hips started to move as he trust into his paw rapidly, seeking a quick release. The whole time Beau was going at it, he set his mind on Aidan.

"Damn, so tight!" He though out loud as his thrusting picked up pace. His eyes scrunched as he imagined that thin, athletic body of Aidan being bare for his eyes to see. Beau started to moan now, approaching orgasm fast. Beau thought of Aidan getting on his knees and preparing to suck him off, the hybrid reaching forward as he brought his lips to Beau's shaft. The Aidan in Beau's mind looked up coyly, those Foxy eyes of his full of lust burning for Beau. The husky lost it at this thought as he gasped, his hips jerking as he shuddered and came in his paw.

Panting, Beau could not believe the power of his orgasm, he was shocked. Beau caught what he could of his seed and brought it up to his nose where he sniffed it. The scent of his cum was lost amongst the chemical cleaners but Beau licked at it anyway, knowing from experience that it tasted just fine. He was so engrossed in cleaning his paw and savoring the flavor for the next couple of minutes that he panicked at the sound of the front door opening.

~~~~~~~~

Aidan watched the husky from below, stroking his shaft as rapidly as he could. He could tell that the dog was waiting for him, he was just sitting against the pool wall all by himself, but that gave Aidan a clear view of the dog's muscular back. The dog's back flared out like a thin cobra's head as he sat there, gaining bulk progressively as Aidan's view of the husky wondered from the waist, obscured by water, all the way up to the dog's defined shoulders. Aidan knew right then that the dog must be a swimmer.

Aidan let his mind roam with all the things he could do with the dog if he was actually gay, the different positions they could enjoy, what the dog would be like in bed, what he would look like hunched over and thrusting into his rear. That last though made Aiden stop for a moment, he had always been the dominate partner in his minds eye and with that soft voice, he figured the husky would be the bottom. And yet, the image of the husky panting as he came into his rear loomed in Aidan's mind.

That was the thought that brought Aidan to the edge. Just the though of riding a huge length made Aidan cum in record time, his load spraying all over his window. He panted as he watched the dog down below put a paw in front of his face. To Aidan, it looked like the husky was checking the time and Aidan suddenly remembered he was supposed to be going over there, not sitting in his room and masturbating.

Aidan quickly grabbed a tissue and wiped his window clean before he pulled on his swim shorts and stuffed his still half hard length down into them. He grabbed a beach towel before rushing down the stairs, about to run out the front door when his mom stopped him, calling out from the kitchen.

"Just where are you going in such a rush?" Fey asked as she came walking from the kitchen, wiping her hands on her cooks apron.

"Our new neighbor just invited me over to go swimming, you didn't tell me that they had a pool installed to today."

"Oh, did I forget that little fact?" Fey asked back, feigning innocence.

"Oh, how convenient that you would exclude that information."

"What can I say, it's hell getting old," Fey said with one of her signature 'sly fox' grins. "Dinner will be ready by six and I want you to invite them over tonight, tell them your mother wants to welcome them to the neighborhood."

"Will do mom," Aidan said as he rushed out the door and back into the heat.

~~~~~~

Beau looked down at himself and saw, to his horror, that he was still partially hard. He quickly pulled his speedo up and over his length before diving down and swimming to the other wall where he could hide his erection without looking suspicious. Aidan walked out the back door of Beau's house just as the dog's head surfaced out of the water. Beau smiled as he wiped the fur and water out of his eyes.

"Finally! What took you so long? I was starting to think you weren't coming!" Beau exclaimed as he blushed under his fur at almost being caught.

Aidan froze for a second, he had been coming in more ways than one and he wasn't sure how to answer that question, being caught a little off guard. 'Do I really want to tell him what I was doing? Hell yeah I do, I want to fuck him here and now, but can I risk it? No, he's too cute to scare away yet. Besides, what if this husky isn't gay?' Aidan though. He realized that if he made a move and it backfired, it would be all over school by tomorrow and then his mother would find out and she'd murder him!

"I... uh... oh! My mom stopped me, she wanted to invite your mom and you over to dinner tonight. Y-you know, to welcome you guys to the neighborhood and all," Aidan sputtered as he turned red.

"Okay... so it took her five minutes to tell you that?" Beau asked jokingly.

"She likes to talk a lot, she's a fox after all and she gets really excited sometimes!" Aidan said, chuckling uneasily.

"Yeah right, did you stop to pop one off?" Beau asked. 'God knows I did!'

"NO!" Aidan shouted as he turned a darker shade of red, "I uh... I had to use the restroom. Are you always such a perv?"

'Oh my god, he totally did!' Beau thought as he watched the those foxy eyes flair in panic.

"Okay, I believe you," Beau said. 'You're such a liar!'

Aidan turned away and went to lay his towel on one of the pool chairs near by, bending over and picking up a bottle of sunscreen. Beau's jaw dropped at the sight of Aidan bending over and he felt his dead arousal trying to come back to life. He had to fight to keep it down.

'I want to mount that ass so bad!'

"Hey, Beau... can you, uh... put some sunscreen on my back?" Aidan said casually, turning around.

Beau's jaw snapped up as Aidan brought him out of the vision of mounting that pert little ass of his. He nodded quietly before giving a quiet sure as he turned from the wall and started wading to the steps of the pool. He looked down and said a small prayer to himself that he wouldn't be hard as he walked out of the pool and by the time he walked those steps, only the tip of his member was out in his speedo.

Now it was Aidan's turn to go slack jawed as he watched the husky climb out of the pool as the slim, low cut swim wear the husky was wearing might as well just have been a censor bar. One that wasn't very good though, Aidan could see the rather large package of the dog in explicit detail. The water logged fur of the husky clung to his lithe swimmers frame, defining every muscle of Beau's body as his skin moved over those toned and tight bunched of flesh that flexed with every movement.

The big powerful upper body, the sender waist that his torso tapered to, powerful thighs full of corded muscle, and rock solid calves. All of it was perfect in Aidan's eyes. He couldn't help but gawk as the quiet husky, this veritable Adonis, walked towards him. Aidan was in love. This dog was everything he wanted in a man, super hot, gentle, quite, and laid back. Surprisingly enough, the husky had all of this without being cocky, that was the cherry on top of Aidan's hunk-cake!

Aidan watched as Beau walked up to him and took the sunscreen from his hands. Beau couldn't help but smile at the boy's dazed face as he told him to turn around. As Aidan complied, an image of him dropping to all fours and the dog mating him with gusto popped into he head before he could stop it. Aidan gasped as the cold sunscreen was spread about his back, the soft pads of the husky almost caressing his shoulders and back muscles as the husky worked to reach all of the spots Aidan could not.

Before Aidan knew it, his eyes were closing as he enjoyed the caressing, but abruptly the hands were gone before being placed on his shoulders. Beau leaned in and whispered for Aidan to hold his breath and Aidan turned around to ask him why but, by mid turn, the husky had him in the air and hurtling into the pool. Aidan gasped in reflex as he fell through the air and broke the surface of the cold pool, sinking like a stone. When he resurfaced, the husky was hunched over, holding his stomach as he laughed hysterically.

"That's not funny!" Aidan shouted, suddenly furious with the husky.

"Yeah it was, ah! The look on your face, totally worth it!" The husky said as he wiped his eyes.

Aidan tried not to smile but he couldn't help himself, it really was funny and he would be laughing his ass off he wasn't the one thrown in. Cupping his hand and slapping the pool, Aidan sent a large wave of water at the husky's face where it crashed rather unceremoniously against his muzzle. The husky instantly stopped laughing as he looked at Aidan with a bewildered face. Aidan was grinning like a fool, staring back at the husky with his mischievous foxy eyes.

"Got ya'!" Aidan called playfully. The husky grinned before running at the pool and leaping into the air, pulling his legs in as he tried to make the biggest cannon ball he could right next to the smiling boy. Aidan shrieked as he ducked under the water for cover and thus their games began. They chased each other around the pool, splashing, dunking, and seeing who could make the biggest cannonball, all in good humor.

Finally, Aidan grew so winded that he just wandered over to the pool wall where he pulled himself up and out, leaving just his legs in the water as he tried to catch his breath. Beau swam over and sat there, arms waving through the water as he too panted. Once they could breath, they started to converse casually, talking about the newest V.R. Games, school, even girls, but that was just to prod around for responses. Midway though their conversation, Beau's ear's perked up and focused behind Aidan as a women gave a small cough to get their attention.

"Hi mom!" Beau shouted as the women stepped out on the back patio. "Look who I met, this is Aidan, our next door neighbor!"

Aidan turned to see a short little woman with thick glasses and a dark, wrinkled face. Beady but lively eyes stared back at Aidan as he stood up and approached the woman, holding out a hand.

"Hello Mrs. Tali, it's nice to meet you," Aidan said as she took his hand and smiled.

"Ooooh, a gentleman. Nice to meet you too," Mrs. Tali said as she looked back at her foster son, his tail was swaying slowly though the water behind him as he stared at the backside of the boy in front of him.

"Welcome to the neighborhood," Aidan said as he released Mrs. Tali's hand and smiled warmly.

"Why thank you. Oh, what a handsome young man you are!" said Mrs. Tali, making Aidan blush.

"Oh, mom, cut it out!"

"What, I can't joke?"

"If that was your idea of a joke, then no," Beau said, Aidan couldn't help but chuckle.

"Oh, Bobo! Why so mean?" Mrs. Tali said as she smiled at her son.

"BOBO?" Aidan asked questioningly.

"Mom! I told you not to call me that around friends! You did that on purpose," Beau said to his mom as he covered his eyes in embarrassment.

"Oops, sorry!" Mrs. Tali said before winking at Aidan.

"Mom, Aidan's mother invited us over for dinner tonight, she wants to welcome us to the neighborhood. Can we go?"

"Oh, well isn't that nice!" Mrs. Tali said as she turned to Aidan, "We'd be delighted to come over. Beau, go put some clothes on! You know I hate it when you wear those around!"

"Yes mom!" Beau sighed as he hauled himself out of the pool, shaking and flinging water all over both his mother and Aidan.

"Beau!" Mrs. Tali shouted as she playfully scolded her son. Beau grinned, his tongue sticking out the tip of his muzzle, as he started towards his mom with his arms open wide.

"Don't do it! Don't you dare do it!" Mrs. Tali shouted as she backed up.

Beau payed no heed to her as he wrapped her tightly in his arms, giving her a big wet hug before kissing her head. When he let his mother go, Beau walked inside, whistling happily to himself as he walked up the stairs to his room. Aidan had to bite his tongue to stifle a chuckle that was trying to break free at seeing Mrs. Tali's slightly miffed face. She huffed as she held her arms out and stair down at her sodden dress before looking up and pointing a finger at Aidan.

"Don't you dare laugh, it would only encourage him," Mrs. Tali said, winking at him again.

"Yes Ma'am. Here, use this," Aidan chuckled as he handed Mrs. Tali his towel.

"I don't think this will help much," She replied, looking rather doubtfully at the towel.

"Trust me, it will," Aidan said as she took the towel from him. Mrs. Tali started to dry her self off with it and gasped in amazement as the material under the towel was instantly bone dry.

"Told ya'. My dad sent that to me, bought a crate from one of the traders up in Alpha station."

"It's quite a neat little toy," Mrs. Tali said as she handed Aidan his towel. He rung it and all the water that had been in Mrs. Tali's clothes fell to the ground.

"It really is," Aidan said as he too dried himself. Not too long after words, Beau stepped back out on the patio wearing an overly tight T-shirt and a pair of trendy new shorts, made from a loose and shiny black material similar to spandex that stopped about three quarters down Beau's impressive thighs.

"I really was hoping you wouldn't wear those," Mrs. Tali said as she shook her head disapprovingly.

Beau just grinned at her before turning to Aidan, "Are we ready to go?"

"I do believe we are," Aidan said as he grabbed his things. "Lady's first."

Mrs. Tali giggled as she led the way out of the house, the door opening and closing automatically for the group.

"A lady? Hardly!" Beau joked as he walked behind his mother as they crossed the lawn to Aidan's house next door.

"Bobo!" Mrs. Tali said disapprovingly again, Aidan could tell she must use that voice a lot.

"Ma! Don't call me that!" Beau whined as his ears fell back against his head, that embarrassed look made Aidan chuckle as he opened the door to his house.

"Mom, I'm back! Come meet the neighbors."

Well, what did you think? I'm trying to make my chapters shorter because I know that they are insanely long. Speaking of insanely long chapters, I'm putting 'Those Forgotten' on hold as I have hit writers block on that series mid way through chapter 6. Those Forgotten is actually planned out quite well, I've just hit one of those spots where I don't know how to move it along. I have, however, written chapter 5 and hopefully I'll have it posted for you guys, along with the edited versions of 1-4, soon. Anyway, I plan to make this series a lot longer than "Those Forgotten."
