Ronan meets a few classmates


New Rules

I woke up with a chill down my spine. My mouth was empty and I was supposed to have a pacifier in it. Through the bars of the crib I could see it sitting on the floor, tantalizingly out of reach despite my best efforts to put a paw on it.

"Awww. Does the baby want her paci?" a high pitched voice asked. I looked to my left to see a Human girl, around bio4 or bio5. She quickly bent over, picked up the soother and put it near my muzzle. Before I could take hold of it she was picked up and away.

"Sweetie we don't put our hands near a strange Kin's muzzle."

Oh come ON! Really?. What kind of monster would attack a little girl? I wasn't nearly that bad. I was here for defending someone a LOT meaner than her. Now you're going to think I'm dangerous AFTER I got turned into this adorable bundle. of fluff and..and.. I wasn't Going to Cry. I wasn't.

The loud bawling that was definitely not me echoed off the walls. The Human winced and obviously wished she could flatten her ears as she set her daughter down and took custody of the pacifier. She reached over the bars of the crib and scooped me up under the arms, bouncing me lightly.

"Awww you really are just a little sweetie now aren't you?" She swayed me back and forth a little bit "Just a little girl who lost her paci. Well here we go" she plopped it in my muzzle. That wasn't the problem! Why do people need to think the absolute.. suckle.. worst.. of.. HIC... HIC...

"I gotta keep the paci..fier in the Rat said but it fell out while I was sleeping an..an...an..."

"Okay, Okay little one. She's not going to blame you for something that happened while you were sleeping. You're not in trouble" she seemed to consider that for a moment. "But just in case" and found a clip to hook the pacifier onto my collar. I pointed to the crib, indicating I wanted to go down, but she just kept rocking and petting.

"I want to get you settled down hon. The concussion medication can leave you a little jumpy.

"I DON"T need settling! The Wolf really does need a change though..."

"She's not the only one" The human padded my rump, making it squish. "Now, how many years of raising children do you have under your belt? Less than twenty?"

I huffed. She knew I wasn't even that old.

"And have you ever taken concussion medication before?"

I shook my head.

" I used to take it all the time back when I was on the Helios Harpies. I remember I got knocked off the top rail and skated right into a camera. They were talking about a medical rejuvenation as a possibility, but a week of these and I was alright." She continued in a calm voice like she was telling a bedtime story. Her paw went up and down my back, up and down, resting on my rump and rubbing in slow circles. "But, they turn on your whole brain. Make everything connected as they try to prevent the damage."

"Ooo so do I get superpowers for using more than 10% of my brain?"

She tsked at that silliness and tickled my nose with my tail. "No, but whatever you're feeling you feel a lot more of it. So if you're nice and calm and relaxed you're calmer and more relaxed than you've ever been. Drifting off nice and peaceful" she started rubbing my back and sat down in the rocking chair. "Some crashball players can get addicted to it, either getting amped up or just zoning out and listening to some quiet, soft music.

Said music started to play, probably below the humans hearing. I pouted that they were trying to calm me down. I started to try to fight it without really considering why. Did I want to be upset? Fussy? Make myself and probably the nice lady and the other kiddult miserable? Or I could just present my ears. Like so. Let the nice lady run her hands over the soft, velvety exteriors just like that. And drift off with a warm, bubbly feeling as my limbs turned to jello, like this. Hmmm this definitely seemed like the better option.

"hehehe. she's making the going face" the little girl chimed in, seeing the expression on my muzzle. I flattened my ears a bit as I felt the slow rush of warmth between my legs slowly spreading out front and back, but the adult covered for me. "She's just thinking sweetie." Which wasn't entirely untrue.

"She's a baby. I'mma big girl..." the hand that wasn't petting my belly quickly went out to stop the girl from lifting up her skirts "Rona believes you hon. She doesn't need to see your panties"

I giggled a bit and asked "How come they're both so young?"

"Imaa real girl!" the little human interjected, spinning around.

"Oh sweetie we've been over this. You're a first timer. The others are real girls too see? Fur, paws, ears, noses, they're just as real as you are. Not like Bobo"

I looked over at the Wolf toddler sleeping in the crib, but got distracted by the teachers daughter running her little hands clumsily over my ears and patting my head. I knew this place was lower security but a first timer? Was it really THAT much safer in the girls class?

"Baby Woofy"

"No sweetie she's Fox. They're a little different. They're red and smaller and..."

"Baby Woofy!"

"Is she a little..." I asked, not sure how to phrase it.

"She's very three hon" she said a little tersely, making my tail tuck.

"OH. I'm sorry she's very big and very smart an.an I jus..."

"shh shhh shh don't worry about it fluffbutt. Yes she's tall for her age and she speaks very well and knows the alphabet. Even other humans make that mistake. I bet everything looks a lot bigger to you now huh?"

I nodded. The teacher picked me up and sat me down on the changing table with my head on a little pillow. "Bu..erm. Tail ups a lil easier on a Kin" I tried to point out, but she just slipped her fingers under the tapes and popped them open. "If you just need the diaper changed. But it's a little hard to talk with the kit that way. See how they're doing, make sure they're feeling okay. Also harder to rub the belly" she demonstrated with some slow gentle rubs over my ribs, parting the fur and wincing a little at the swelling and bruising. She took her hands away for a second then starting wiping me down front to back, smirking a bit as my tail started to wag.

The door opened barely revealed the top of Ms Norvegs ears as she tiptoed in, the scent of fingerpaint wafting in with her.

"How's our new student doing?" She asked, clicking her datapad. I looked over to see my name along with a heartbeat. Damn blabbermouth collar sending my medical data to..to the person in charge of my health I guess.

"Pretty good considering" I bit my tongue as I was wiped a few more times. She hmmed for a second and then started to rub on some sort of ointment while the two women kept talking about me as if I wasn't there.

"Not what you were expecting?" the Mouse asked , handing up a pacifier as the table started to lower. Ms. Wynonna swapped pacifiers and I saw temperature appear on the back of the datapad. Oh good there wouldn't be another.. why was she still holding a thermometer?

"When her file said she was adjusting well to the babying I thought they meant well for an involuntary regressee. It's an unusually trusting attitude for..."

"The worst criminal of the decade? Yeah. She doesn't consider girls a threat. Silly thing" the Rat's tail sneaked a tickle to my belly in one of the few unbruised spots making me kick and giggle.

"Do they need to let the boys be so rough? I don't even know where I can pet her." the human settled on the ears, kneading back and forth to splay the black triangles out which worked more than fine by me.

"Mostly the back. Rona, I need to get a temperature that's not from your head. I want to make sure the spray isn't just making your head heat up."

I blushed a bit and rolled over on the spacious changing table, hiking my tail up a bit with the diaper hanging off of it. The Miss Wyonna's hand over her mouth didn't manage to completely stifle a laugh and I could hear the soft whisk of the Rats whiskers vibrating in amusement. "Well, that's more accurate than holding it to your thigh" she switched thermometers with one in the cabinet, dabbed a little bit of gel on and slipped it into my rump. Biting my tongue kept my ensuing coo under the humans hearing, but not the Rats. To her credit all she did was twitch her whiskers faster as her lips quivered. The human child was not nearly so subtle, giggling even while being shushed by her mother. Ms Norveg pushed the diaper back down on the tail, rolled me over and taped me up.

"Can I wear my big b..trainers? Please?" I remembered to ask this time.

"No" she shook her head and took out a pink footed sleeper that despite being cleaned smelled like the baby Wolf. At Miss Wynonna prompting in the form of a check to the shoulder she added a little more softly. "I want you drinking lots of fluids and not running to the bathroom every five minutes on that ankle. It feels fine now but it's still injured. I trust you'll rationally do the job your pain system would have you doing and stay off of it?"

I grumbled a bit but nodded. That seemed sensible. TOO sensible if anything. Miss Wyonna interlaced her fingers and put them under my now thickly padded rump and backed out of the babies nap room and headed back towards the classroom. My ears flattened and I could feel my face flushing as the girls awwed and pointed now that I was back. Being seen in such a babyish and girly outfit would have been the absolute end for any chance of respect as a boy. Babies were weak. Girls were weak. Baby girls were the weakest things around. Weakness made you a target for being made fun of if not hit.

But that rule didn't seem to apply here. The Wolf was wagging her tail. The Humans awwwws were just as obvious, and infectious. My tail wagged on it's own even as I tried to hide my face. The teacher took me back to the area with the changing table. The Bear and one of the Humans were sitting around looking at books. Miss Wyonna asked the Bear if she was okay, the Bear reached up and took me into her enormous paws and then her even more expansive lap.

"Think so Ma'm."

The human was sitting on her belly on the floor reading, legs kicking back and forth in the air a bit. "Once your brains back to normal you two should talk. You have a lot in common" she licked a finger and turned a page. If pink claws and a matching footed sleeper and obvious padding were a problem with either of the, they didn't show it.

With glacial slowly ness the Bear wrapped her arms around me and rocked a little. Her fur was so lush and soft it was like being hugged by a teddy bear. I waited for her to get angry again, but instead she just kept rocking and petting, adding in a deep, rumbling lullaby. What could I have in common with a giant girl like this?

"She's quiet. She okay?" The Bear craned her head down with surprising flexibility and peered at me upside down, lolling her tongue out her mouth. Only putting my paws on the pacifier kept it from flying out of my mouth laughing.

"Yeah. She's just being a good baby and being quiet with the paci in her muzzle like she was told. Aren't you?" the Human stood and underscored her sing song teasing by tickling me under the chin. Heeeey!

The Bear took the pacifier out. She seemed to be in charge of me so I could talk now right?

"I AM NOT A" OMF. The bear flattened her ears, plopped the pacifier back in, and rubbed my belly. The annoyance at being called a girl vanished in a soothing balm of belly rubs and my lips started to suckle the pacifier. The bear very carefully stared at the ring of the pacifier, looked at her claws, and opted to just pull it out by the ribbon tied onto my sleeper instead.

"I'm a boy" I insisted, putting my snout up in the air with an air of quiet dignity. This of course sent the human into a fit of giggles, but she at least tried to hide it behind her hand.

The Bear rumbled. "She knows it's serious, she just can't help herself. Isn't that right?" Breinaald nodded. "I'm sure you know what that's like?" she rubbed my belly until my paw thumpthumpthumped against her lap.

"Yeah I guess" I grumbled. "Bears handle being regressed pretty good don't you? Extra large pr...p..." I squirmed a bit in frustration at not being able to remember the word.

"Prefrontal Cortex" Breinaald finished for me. "Yeah, last thing you want is a 6 foot tall bear cub with big sharp pointy teeth and claws losing it. Rar!" she mockingly clawed at the Sow, who merely extended one paw to engulf the Humans head and keep her at arms length.

I pet my tail a little and the bear rubbed my ears, the chill of frustration warming and melting away quicker than I thought possible.

"Foxes keep a lot of information thou." The Bear knuckled my head, barely touching the fur.

"Seems like I forgot so much..."

The bear chuckled, shaking me up and down with her shaking belly. "You forgot anatomy terms. I forgot boat. "

I nodded "Needed good memories to be scouts in the wars." The human took out a large sweet smelling bottle out from a "book" of the children's classic The Three Little Penguins while the Bear asked "Did you serve?"

I shook my head. "Wars were over before I was born. Mom fought for a long time. Wouldn't say how long. Dad set TWO records for the shortest service ever. Needler to the brain once and a grenade the second time. He got put on medical teams after that. You?"

"You're supposed to be drinking this" the human plopped the bottle into my muzzle

My maw started suckling automatically, sending the cool, quenching juice down my parched throat and delighting my tongue with the taste of pineapple. The juice and topic of conversation reminded me of sitting in a McDoogles and chowing down on a burger. Mom had some pineapple juice and offered to let me try some, and had to order another one when I drank all of hers. The memory was so vivid I didn't hear Bruna talking.

"... occupied territory. Make bed. Walk around city. Look scary to the humans. Help with the rebuilding efforts for good PR. That's how I got into masonry. The actual stones stuff, not the ones with the funny hats."

"Didn't want to omf... drink" I protested while my lips continued to suckle, filling me up like a sponge.

"Your lips say no but your lips say yes..." the human girl teased, rubbing my ears. "How old are you anyway? You're a Reynard right? If you were one of the local Fuches you'd be babysized. But you're like.. four?"

"SIX" I objected, spilling some juice on my muzzle. The Bear took a rag from off the counter and wiped up what she could. Then gave me a much more effective lick to get what was left out of my fur. "Going on six"

Breinaald mmhmmms skeptically. "With bottles?"

I held out my hand, which at this age was more like a paw. She started stroking the back of it and continued.

"And diapees?" she patted my rump, which crinkled.

"I need those! They messed something up when they" suckle suckle "..changed... stuff" I tucked my tail up a bit.

"It happens" the Bear rumbled, her heart skipping a beat.

"And the teddy bear?" the human ticked off her fingers

"What's wrong with teddy bears?" the Bear asked "Five year olds get teddy bears"

"Nothing! Nothing!" Brienheld put up her hands." She grinned and wriggled her fingers. The pacifier appeared in them and deftly replaced my now empty bottle.

"Hwoay..." I couldn't resist the urge to suckle on it.

"Such a good fuzzy wuzzy baby. Aren't you? Yes you are.. yes you are..." the human fluffed my cheekfur up and down. I WANTED to be mad at her. Not for using the F word but for calling me a baby. I wasn't! Despite the happy whimper and tail which has escaped the Sow's belly to wag against his sides. "Or do you want to say you need your paci to keep your teeth from grinding?" I pointed. that was a good excu..reason." She kept petting my ears. "Nope. Babies suckle their pacies because it helps them calm down" she said very softly, rubbing my ears. "Definitely baby-brained. Least that goes away when you grow up. You could be GIiiIIRRly BRAiiiINED... that's terminal " she knuckled my head.

Bruna tsked. "It's not like that for kin. I don't think it's like that for humans either. Or so you keep telling me."

"Yeah I know I'm just teasing. Despite what this backwater planet might say. I've heard it's different but not... " she waved a hand around at the room "THIS different"

"You're still you in there." the bear rumbled as she rubbed my ears. "Just a younger you, which you probably don't remember as well as you think. If that's what you're worried about"

I wondered if Bears were psychic. Which was mildly ironic as Foxes had that reputation for some reason. The flush in my ears went down my tail and into my spine and lower into my thickly padded bottom, between my legs and to my rump in a rush. I sucked on the pacifier hard and held it even harder as the bear shushed me and pet me from ears to tail by turning their paw sideways.

"awww.. she's making her "thinking face again" Brienhald teased, while Bruin shushed both of us. "It's alright. That's what the padding is for"

Miss Norveg came around the corner and withour preamble held out her paws expectantly and helped me stand despite the injured leg. Deft clawed hands scratched rather pleasantly over my headfur for a second, grooming it into some semblance of order.

"She was supposed to be drinking. She needs lots of fluids"

Bruin held up the already empty bottle. The other girl quipped "We may as well have poured it directly into the diaper" the teacher nodded in approval to what I hoped was the Sows actions, not the teasing.

The Rat pet down my arms and to my paws, kneading them gently. She took them and placed them under my chin. "Hold" then lifted my tail and gave me a pat under my rump. I HEYED and squirmed, but she pet my ears some "Good girl" and gave me an exaggerated smile that my stupid little girl brain couldn't help but devour like cream. My tail was both up and wagging. She gave my ears a pet, patted my rump, and guided my paws under my chin and my tail up and out of the way three times.

"There we go. When I check you I want you to stand like that so I can see if you're wet or just damp. Like you are now."

"In front of everyone?" My ears flattened at my own whining at least as much as how I was expected to humiliate myself in front of the class. She tapped my paci..fier to remind me to hush.

"No one will pay it any mind. After a few hours anyway. Bruna, Mrs. Katchra has a game of of that warehouse robot game for the four of you."

And with that decided for us, I was lifted up and taken out into the unknown wilds of the girls class.
