#1 of Love story

This fantasy has been on my mind the last few days, so I thought I should post it as a story. Man, I wish I had a girlfriend.


I was at the mall one day. My mom was doing some shopping at one of the bigger malls near Ottawa instead of the mall we go to in Cornwall, near the US border. I prefer the bigger malls because there is more stuff to pick from. For example, when I walked into the EB games, they actual had demos for games that weren't over half a year old. I go over to the PS3 demo machine, while unzipping my hoodie and then tying it up around my waist, revealing my t-shirt. It was my favourite, with a blue feral fox dashing around and the words "Crazy like a fox" encircling it. When I got the console, I was lucky to find that no one was already used it. I looked through the list of game demos and I found what I was hoping for: Playstation All Stars Battle Royale. I had fallen in love with the game when I first heard about it. I mean, Playstation characters fighting each other all in one place? That was fantastic news.

I quickly picked the game out of the list. My ears perked and my tail wagged quickly as I watched the into. Somewhere after Sir Dan got his head knocked off (which for a skeleton knight, was no biggie), a voice from behind ask me "Excuse me, but are you using this?"

I turned around, and saw an angel. I know that's a cliche thing to say, but how else would you describe it? She was beautiful: long, black hair; medium length black fur with sliver tips; green eyes; a slightly skinny body with subtle, yet noticeable curves, hidden underneath a black hoodie and loose-fit blue jeans. I was starting to blush and pant slightly. My tail wagged slightly, in that "puppy love" sort of way.

She snapped her fingers in front of my face to try and regrab my attention. "Umm.....I asked 'are you using this?'" she said in a sweet, sexy voice.

I answered back, my mind slowing down as I spoke. "Well....um...I am, but there is another....uhhh, controller you can.....you know...use." That's me, when I'm around someone I'm at least kind of used to, I can chat them up, but if it's around strangers or people I don't see that often, it takes me time to talk.

She tilited her head to the side and said "Oh, I'm sorry, you don't know english, do you? Do you speak french?"

I was surprised by her reaction. "W-What?" I stammered, "No, no. I don't speak french th-th-that well, it i-i-is that I d-don't speak well to people I've just.....you know, met. And you're.....uh......"

She cut in "Oh..... So, you think I'm attractive?" I nodded silently, my face blushing bright red. She walked over and gave me, yet agian to my surprise, a hug. "Well," she told me, "I think you're kind of cute too." My arms were awkwardly placed at my sides, not knowing what to do. I could see the top of her head, since she was shorter then me, which only made me think she was even hotter (I sort of have a thing for shorter women). I could also see her tail. It was wagging like mine was, so I could tell she liked me back. It looked like a wolf's tail, but it seemed to have a bit of a curve to it, so I could tell she wasn't a pure-breed wolf, not that I cared if she was a pure-breed or not. I also was able to pick up a whiff of her scent with my nose; it was sweet, like field of lilacs.

Soon, she let go, as the intro to the game had finished a little while back, so we had to either start playing or go, and we didn't want to go just yet. We went to the controllers and started playing. Player 1 (me) picked Sly Cooper.

"By the way," the girl told me, "my name's Jewel, Jewel McMuzzle. I just thought you should know the name of the person who is going to kick your butt." She then went on to select Big Daddy, causing a deep grunting noise to come out of the speakers.

"Well in that case," I said, putting my game face on, "I'm Matthew. Matthew Hindpaw, the one who's going to send you and your rusty bouncer back to Rapture."

It was on now. "Me and mr. B over here are going to make you and Sly wish you never even picked up the Theivius Raccoonus." Jewel bragged. I knew I had to raise the stakes, so I selected the other two fighters.

"Well, it's just see what Sweet Tooth and Sir Dan have to say about it." The arena selection screen appeared before us.

"Ladies pick." I said. Jewel used my controller to select the "Alden's Tower" stage. My responce was "Good, I like InFamous, AND Carmelita Fox!"

Once the battle began, things really started to heat up. I wacked Big Daddy with Sly's cane, Big Daddy drilled me (no dirty jokes, please). Sir Dan slashed with his sword, I introduced him to "The Murry". Sweet Tooth pulled out his shotgun, Big Daddy just got mad. Soon, after so many attacks and taunts later, Sly came out on top, with the both of us bragging "Thanks for the dance." Big Daddy was in close second though, still beating Sir Dan and Sweet Tooth (that latter of which was now sobbing in a huff).

"Well, you win." admitted Jewel.

"Yep, and to the victor goes the spoils." I added, qouting that old saying.

Jewel sighed and said "OK, here's your reward." She held her hands above my head as if she was placing a crown "I now crown you king of the dorks."

"Ha-ha-ha." I told her, "Besides, one extra button press and you would have been queen. And you made Sweet Tooth cry. Not many people can say that."

"Aww, aren't you sweet?" Jewel giggled. "So, what do we do now?"

"Well, do you like books?" I asked. Jewel answered with a nod. "Well, then we could go to the bookstore. If me mom comes looking for me and she doesn't find me here, she will know to look there."

Jewel pulled out her phone and said "Well, I'll just text my mom to tell her I will be going there."

"With a boy?....." I asked with a smile that (normaly) only a Cooper could give.

"Shut up." she answered, giving me a playful shove.

After sending the text, we started to walk to the bookstore. It was a little ways away, so we had some time to talk some more.

"Hey Matthew?" Jewel asked.

"What is it?"

"Well, I was kind of wondering this since I first saw you back in the store, but are you part husky?"

"Yes, my mom is a husky and my dad's a german shepherd. How about you?"

Jewel pulled out her phone and showed me a picture she used as her phone's background of her as a pup with her parents. "My mom's an alaskan malamute and my dad is the black timber wolf. I mostly take after him."

"But luckly," I added, joking around, "you're better looking."

She blushed and said "Thanks."

We got to talking and we had alot in commen. We liked the same music, the same foods, the same movies and the same video games. Things we're going great, until some girls walked by and one of them, a leopard poured her drink over Jewel's head.

"Ha! Take that, you ugly bitch!" she shouted at Jewel.

"What do you think your doing?" I asked, scolding the girl.

Jewel whispered to me "Don't fight it, Matt. This happens all the time, I'm used to it."

"No Jewel." I told her, not wanting this to just happen. I turned to the leopardess. "What is wrong with you?!?! She didn't do anything, she didn't even LOOK at you! What the hell?!"

The leopardess answered "She started it by being a fugly slut! Why don't you leave her and come with me? I can show you things...."

By this point, a crowed had started to gather. I pushed the leopardess down to the ground. "HOW DARE YOU?!?! You call her a slut then try to get me to leave her by teasing me like I'm some sort of idiot?!?! You are a disgrace to all this country stands for. You are a disgrace to all the people who fought and died for this country and it's freedoms. You are a disgrace to the police who work hard to stop people like you from doing whatever they want. You're a disgrace to your family, the female gender and most importantly, you are a disgrace to YOURSELF. Well, I like Jewel. I think she is very pretty, inside and out. You might try to look pretty on the outside, but you are disgusting on the inside. Good day."

As me and Jewel walked away, we could hear the sounds of people clapping. Aparently, I was not alone in my thoughts.

We had to make a detour to the washrooms so Jewel could wash up.

"Well, that's as clean as I'm going to get without taking a shower. Thanks for standing up for me back there." said Jewel.

"Anytime." I answered. "Thanks for the mental image of you in the shower."

"You perv." Jewel told me, lightly punching me in the arm, jokingly "I suppose you want pictures of that."

"Well," I answered, "Not for someone I just met. That's more of a fifth or sixth date sort of thing."

"So what does make this? The first date?" Jewel asked.

"Nah, more of a pre-date sort of thing." I answered.

Jewel leaned forword and whispered to me "Well, it was a very nice one." Before kissing me on the muzzle.

I started to blush again. "Whoa.......um.....thank you. Hey, can I have your phone number so we can have a real date?"

"Sure." She responded, pulling out a piece of paper and a pen. "Here you go. See you around, I just got I text from my mom, I've got to meet her. Bye."

I waved slightly as she ran off. She was going now, but I knew that someday we would be together agian, forever........
