"Do you know that feeling, you know...when there's that special somebody that can make you happier than anyone ever has? That's how she made me feel. When I was just a little foal, I was a skinny, weedy little fuck. Gangly, uncoordinated and short-sighted, I didn't have many friends. But then, as always, there was that one day, something little happened and it changed the outcome of the rest of my life.

I woke up and got out of bed, the same as every other morning. I looked at myself in the mirror and did my best to try and look a lot less nerdy than I usually do, I had been growing my mane out for a part in a school play and that day was the day I had been waiting for, I could finally get it into a pony tail! Ironic, I know, I already had one above my bum but somehow the one in my mane made me feel less like a sixteen year-old and more like an adult.

I smiled as I looked in the mirror, trying to be proud of myself as I wanked my cock, hoping it had gotten a little bigger. Like all guys I watched porn, I may have watched a bit too much but still, I saw all the stallions with their enormous two to three feet long and making those mares moan. To me size was all that mattered and with barely a foot of my own, I always felt tiny. Imagine that, an almost six foot tall stallion with such a tiny prick, no girl would ever want me, especially not any of the popular mares at school. They all had boyfriends anyway, I was even bigger than some of them but I would have bet any money that they had the biggest dicks of anyone there.

I looked down and sighed before trudging to the shower to get ready for school, I had in my mind exactly how that day was going to go. The same as every other Tuesday, go to school, pretend to do work, talk to my two friends, come home two periods early, jack off, have dinner, jack off again and then sleep. That was my life then, single and living in a storage room with my parents.

Everything went according to plan until lunchtime; I couldn't find my friends anywhere. I looked everywhere around the school and finally sat down against a wall and resigned myself to listening to my walkman. After about two songs I glanced up and saw a bunch of the older stallions gathered around a table yelling at someone, being the nice guy I am I got up to go leer at what was going on. It turned out that they were all picking on a year 8, she was a little bovine girl with pristine white fur save for a few dark brown splotches on her face and arm. Then again, I couldn't really see much of her body; she had wrapped herself up as if she didn't want any of her skin exposed at all.

I frowned and shook my head at the older horses, picking on the little girl by pushing and yelling at her "Ugly fat cow!!" and "Haven't you ever heard of a salad!!" were a few things I heard, the second one confused me a bit because I'm pretty sure all cows are vegetarian and you know, only eat salad. Anyway, after a while of bullying lunch ended and they dispersed to go to class leaving the girl sitting at the bench crying her eyes out, I almost went to class too but when I heard those cute mooing sobs I just couldn't. I had to go help her.

I walked back to the bench, carrying my bag and feeling nervous "A-are you okay?" I asked hesitantly as I sat down next to her, not sure of what to say next when she slowly looked up at me, tears in her beautiful blue eyes making them sparkle brilliantly like the sea on a sunny day. Our eyes locked for what seemed like forever and yes, I know how cliché that sounds but, it's what happened. When she first spoke I learned a few things 1. She was a jersey cow and 2. She had a low opinion of herself.

"Oh, hey." She sniffled and swallowed nervously "I...I'm fine...It's true anyway." She then dropped her gaze and started sobbing softly until I put my hand on her knee and smiled warmly, just in time for her to look up I replied "I don't think so. You look pretty good" At that moment, I realised I had to go all or nothing, either embrace the friend zone or ask her out. Me being the hornball I am, instantly decided against letting myself slip into the zone I've always been with every girl I've ever met plus....there was something about her, something I couldn't put my finger on, maybe it was her eyes, maybe it was her voice, I don't know, but there was something

"You're probably one of the prettiest girls here anyway" I smiled and gently rubbed her knee before asking "So umm...What's your name? I'm Pete by the way" I chuckled nervously and waited anxiously for her to respond.

When she did respond I felt a surge of unbelievable happiness flow through my body, I don't know how to describe it but, it was wonderful. "I'm Lexi. You're the first person here that's been nice to me" with that somehow I felt special, like I was untouchable. I know now it was a stupid thing to do but I did it, I lifted my arm up and draped it around her shoulder. I hugged her close as she snuggled close to me, her tears leaving small wet spots on my shirt as I held her protectively.

Again after a while, I piped up, hoping I didn't break the mood "Hey...umm, Lexi..?" I stammered awkwardly, hoping that it would be the first time I managed to ask a girl out "Do you...want to go out sometime..?" I smiled nervously as I rubbed her back

She then looked up at me, her eyes still twinkling from her tears "R-really?" She asked me, gripping onto my shirt in hope that I was genuine. I did my best to act cool and play it off with just a nod despite the fact that it was the happiest moment in my life. Not only was she ready to go out with me but she was acting like it was the best thing that had ever happened to her. After I nodded her eyes lit up and a smile spread across her face as she hugged me tight "thank you so much. Yes. Yes I will."

After we hugged for a bit we agreed that we'd meet on the bus after school and head out to see a movie. So, yeah. The rest of the school day was pretty average except for the huge grin I had on my face the whole time; I was going out with a cute little cow. She wasn't like any of the mares at the school; they were all tall and slender. Lexi was a short girl, she wasn't fat, but she had curves, there was something about those curves that stayed in my mind the whole day, then again. Maybe it was just because of her tits. She had amazing tits, for a girl so young she had bigger tits than any girl at school. But that's beside the point; I liked her for a lot more than her tits.

After school I waited at the bus stop with my hands in my pockets, hoping that she would actually come. That's happened to me so many times, "Yeah, sure thing Pete" and then they just leave me there, on my own, usually in the rain. But that day it wasn't raining, in fact the sun was shining brightly like a postcard Australian summer's day and just like a cliché, Lexi turned up a few minutes late.

She was walking down the hill shuffling her feet and looking sad until I called out to her from across the road "You okay over there? Did they get to you again?" I never did get an answer to that question but it probably wasn't important, what is important was her reaction to hearing my voice. She instantly perked up and ran towards me, the way she sprinted made her look like an excited five year-old except, of course, for her well developed breasts. I know I'm telling you a lot about them but they were just brilliant, just looking at them bounce as she ran towards me; a cute little cowgirl sprinting at me with a grin on her face and a juggle in her tits.

I grinned as she ran at me, opening my arms just in time for her to come barrelling into me. She may have been a short girl but, damn, she had some force behind her. She ran into me and hugged me tight; knocking the wind out of me a bit as she nuzzled cutely into my chest and murmured something that sounded like "thank you thank you thank you thank you." I of course hugged her back and pat her on the back while we waited for the bus to arrive.

After an uneventful bus ride to the mall we went to the top floor to le theatre. We debated over what movie to watch and eventually settled on some generic shooty bang bang explosion type of movie. After getting popcorn and drinks because I can't go to the movies without popcorn, don't judge me, I like popcorn.

Sorry, back on topic, we went in and sat down at the back in some of the deepest comfiest movie theatre chairs ever. Throughout the trailers we were talking quietly and laughing, we started tickling and poking each other, having a lot of fun in an almost empty theatre. Then when the movie started I instantly sat up straight and looked at the screen with my arm draped casually around her shoulder, my mind focused on whether or not I should let my hand down because it was so close to grabbing her tit.

Eventually we settled in and watched the movie, I actually forgot about what I was doing with my hand and I think I may have let it drop to her breast once or twice because Lexi jumped a few times unexpectedly. Then as the movie got to the obligatory hot girl almost naked scene I stated to feel my pants tighten and my face turn red as I hoped Lexi wouldn't notice me getting aroused at the lithe vixen on screen as she grinded up against Mr. W. Billis, as he was known.

Luckily for me, she did notice. She was snuggling up against me when the scene started and as it got more and more intense she pressed closed to me, I honestly think she was getting more turned on by the movie than me, she was pressing her breasts against me as best she could with the armrest between is and it looked like her other hand was between her legs. I could smell it in fact, I smelled something in the air and being as inexperienced as I was I didn't know what it was; only that it mad my underwear strain.

I sniffed the air and breathed in deeply, letting the scent take me over as the sweet cow to my right was snuggled into me and, I'm pretty sure, was also rubbing herself vigorously. After a few minutes I finally wrenched my gaze away from the vixen on the big screen to see a cow with a bright red face panting next to me "What's wrong?" I whispered, confused.

She looked up at me with a dreamy look in those perfect blue eyes of hers and smiled "Wonderful" she mooed quietly back, her face sweaty and along with her palms as she held my hand, now that I think about it. Maybe that wasn't sweat on her hands, that's probably why it so good for myself when I got home, her arousals stench was on me. But I'm getting a bit ahead of myself.

She held my hand and mooed softly into my ear, for some reason that made my pants strain even more. I didn't know what was happening, I'd seen plenty of porn but it never happens in real life, especially not to me. She was perched on the side of her seat, looking me dead in the eye and breathing heavily, her lips were almost touching mine. In the span of a second I panicked, I thought about going in to kiss her but then, it was just the first date and we were only halfway through the movie. On the other hand, she smelled amazing, my cock was aching, my heart was pounding, her gaze has piercing and I could just feel that she wanted me to kiss her.

I was there, leaning forward and ready for my first kiss when I got blinded by a bright light. "Hey!" I deep voice whispered gruffly "You kids keep it down" I blushed deep red, thankfully my dark brown fur kept that covered up, and apologised quickly to him, sitting back in my chair, bolt upright and facing the screen, with my arm very quickly away from Lexi's shoulder.

Through the whole movie a felt useless and stupid, she wanted me to kiss her and I chickened out. She was never going to want to try anything with me again. I kept my hands firmly in my lap, away from her and trying to cover my erection as I thought up all the ways I could have kissed her and ways that I can kiss her later, most of which came from watching porn or crappy rom-coms because there was nothing else on TV and also because Mila Kunis is hot.

The movie went by in a blur, I couldn't focus much on it, but I think the good guy won and learned a lesson about wearing shoes or something. When it ended I looked across to Lexi and smiled, hoping she wasn't completely upset by being interrupted by that bear. I don't think she was due to how she smiled back and hugged me tight as we stood up to leave. I was still cursing myself about letting the opportunity slip by as I walked her home; luckily she lived close by, although we did somehow manage to have a fun chat about the movie.

We got back to her place which isn't anything more than I expected for the new girl at school, especially because she lived with her, apparently, recently divorced dad. I walked her to the front door, smiled said "Goodnight Lexi. I'll see you at school tomorrow" and started walk away before suddenly stopping, an idea had suddenly burst into my head. "Hey Lexi..?" I asked out loud with my back to the door, hoping she hadn't gone inside yet.

"Y-yes?" She replied quietly as I turned around and stepped towards her, putting my hands on her hips and smiling warmly. I tried my best to sound like an action hero when I said "Thanks for the great night" and then leaned down to press my lips to hers. In that exact moment, I literally felt my heart stop and then start again at a thousand beats per second. I then quickly pulled back, hoping I didn't fuck something up.

I looked down and saw her there, with her mouth open, apparently speechless before she draped her arms around my neck, looked into my eyes, whispered "Anytime Pete" and then pulled me back into a kiss, deeper than the first but still just lips on lips, I was too shocked to even try to get my tongue in there.

We held the kiss for about a minute before breaking apart with grins stretched across our faces. I opened my mouth to talk but didn't know what to say, instead I blushed, murmured something along the lines of "So, yeah. See ya" and quickly hurried to catch my bus home. As I sat on that bus I kept going through it in my head, "holy shit I actually kissed a girl" came up a lot as did "I hope nobody notices my boner" luckily nobody did and it was pretty uneventful until I got home.

I burst in through the front door, hurried to my room with a few quick hi's and yeah, fine's and then flopped onto my bed and closed my eyes, remembering how sweet her lips tasted. It relived the rush I felt when our lips met. I knew there was something deep behind it. She was perfect, she was sexy, she liked me and she was a good person. I remember opening my eyes and suddenly realising I had taken off my pants and was jacking off vigorously, somehow my cock seemed a lot bigger than it usually did, not by much, but it still looked and felt bigger.

I shrugged and closed my eyes again, letting my mind take over and keeping my right hand over my mouth to keep myself from making too much noise as I masturbated long into the night, regularly spraying hot ropes of cream onto my belly with each magnificent orgasm. I left it all over the place when I was done; I was too exhausted after about three hours of near constant jacking of my foot long cock.

The next few days went by in a blur. We spent so much time together, constantly in each other's arms. I introduced her to my friends and they hit it off well when we weren't snuggling or exchanging small kisses. There was a day where one of tried something a little adventurous while we were kissing, okay, it was her. One day we were kissing and she opened her mouth a little, which totally took me off guard, she instantly started apologising and blushing but I did my best cool guy impression as I groped her bum and said "Don't worry about it" before kissing her deeply and opening my mouth with hers. It was my first ever French kiss and it really felt brilliant. I've kinda got a thing about kissing now; it's really just one of those pure forms of, you know...love.

Speaking of love; after about a month of talking and making out neither of us was confident enough to go very far beyond me groping her, which kinda made me feel a bit sad. I had my hands all over her but she would touch me back except by wrapping her arms around my neck when we made out. But aside from that I was really starting to feel for her; whenever she came into the room I felt a glow of happiness inside me, I felt it so regularly when I was with her and I didn't know exactly what to call it. One day, I decided on what to call it, during one make out session when we were supposed to be in class I broke the kiss and told her about the glow of happiness. She asked me what the hell I was talking about and again I tried the cool guy thing but ended up with tears of joy in my eyes as I said "I love you"

Those three words can mean so much when said to someone you really care about and I meant it. She stammered and stuttered as she replied "w-what d-did you just say?" she was crying too as she held onto me while I repeated those same three words "I love you" I had such a feeling when she said it back to me, it was better than my first kiss and Christmas combined. She loved me! That sweet little Jersey cow loved me. It made me, I can only assume, the happiest man on earth.

From that day everything got better and better, she started getting more physical with me when we made out, she sat on my lap and grinded her body against me, after the second time she found out exactly what to do to make me strain in my pants. She knew what she was doing to me and she giggled and laughed and my whinnies as she rubbed her crotch against the huge bulge in my pants. But for some reason, she always got nervous when she got off and saw how big it got. I was never brave enough to ask for more until I finally got to see what her place looked like.

Apparently her dad had gone on his first date it years, I really didn't care thought because it meant that Lexi and I had a whole apartment to ourselves. I arrived at about six o'clock and came in to see candles everywhere, I'm pretty sure she had been planning to have a night alone with me for ages because when I stopped looking around and sat down on the couch Lexi came out wearing only a pink bathrobe that looked like it was two sizes too small for her, not that I'm complaining; she looked damn sexy. Her boobs looked like they were going to burst free and every time she took a step the bottom of the robe lifted up and I swore I could see her womanhood.

"Hey there lover" She mooed seductively as she slowly paced out into the living room, doing her best to be sexy, and I'm telling you it worked, I felt my cock go from zero to foot long in less than a second. She really had me going as she swaggered up to me and put her hands on my knees, spreading them a little as she leaned forward to kiss me deeply. I was still in shock as her tongue invaded my mouth but somewhere between when her tongue entered my mouth and started exploring it I woke up.

When I woke up I instantly realised that this little bovine shouldn't be doing this to me, I should be doing it to her. With that I wrapped my arms around her, pulled her close and twisted to my side, laying her down on the couch as I lay on top of her, my bulge grinding against her soaked, virginal, petals. I kissed Lexi deeply and passionately, I knew it would be a night to remember, I knew what was going to happen that night.

I held her tight and eventually let up to let both of us breathe. We were both panting heavily and covered in sweat, and Lexis left breast had slipped free of her gown. It looked perfect; it was brilliantly white except for the dark brown spot that was her nipple and it took all of my will power to wait until I had taken off my shirt before diving for it and latching eagerly as I started to suck. It never occurred to me how weird it looked but I didn't care. I was happily sucking on my girlfriend's tit while grinding the obvious bulge of a foot long horsecock inside shorts into her bare pussy.

I heard Lexi moo loudly and shiver in pleasure as the knot in the waist of my pants, to keep them up, rubbed against her clit. After I felt like I had sucked on her nipple for long enough I broke the kiss and stood up, trying to undo the knot but fumbling in my eagerness as Lexi giggled and slowly undid her robe, leaving it hanging on her breasts, which she had just put away, and barely covering her cunny.

I grinned and winked as I finally undid the knot and tucked my thumbs into the waistband, ready to pull my pants down. But I stopped; it just hit me like a ton of bricks. What if I'm not big enough for her? What if she laughs at me? I stood still, frozen in fear and unable to notice as Lexi sat on the edge of the couch and put her hands on mine, slowly pulling my pants and underwear down and unveiling my foot long horsecock, extremely erect and almost dangerous as it bounced upwards upon being released.

My cock flopped up and splattered Lexi's face with precum, I'm pretty sure she licked it all up because after that I snapped out of my trance and looked down at her, blushing as my cock stuck out right in front of me "s-sorry.." I mumbled, hoping to god she would still find me attractive, and in that exact moment God gave the perfect answer as she wrapped her lips around my flare, sucking on me like I was sucking her tit before.

I stood there, I couldn't believe it. The love of my life was on her knees, sucking my dick and enjoying it! She was sucking me off eagerly, I now know that she wasn't very good but then she felt amazing. Her sweet muzzle and tongue pleasuring me eagerly, I didn't care about her style or ability; it was her pure eagerness to suck me off that made it so pleasurable for me. I knew that I wasn't too small for her when she started trying to deepthroat me, she got the first three inches but I think her inexperience and my thickness overcome her as I kept spurting pre into her hot mouth.

After two or three attempts of getting my cock further into her mouth she gave up and lay back on the couch, licking her lips and mooing softly as she spread her legs and rubbed her pussy "You taste good Petey. But I need you somewhere else" Once again, I couldn't believe it; the most beautiful bovine I've ever seen in my life was spreading her legs and telling me how good my cock tasted. I was ready to reply but suddenly my mind went hazy and my vision blurred as my instincts took over; there's a mare in front of me. I need to fuck it.

I got on the couch over her, my cock swinging about with a trail of spit and pre drooling off it. I instinctually lined myself up with her, pressing my body to hers as I rubbed my flare on her pussy, she mooed needily up at me "Please Pete, stop teasing" I smiled inside, I knew I wasn't teasing, I couldn't find where I was supposed to put it, but that didn't stop me taking credit for it. I finally found the right hole and pressed gently against it, my flare pushing and pushing until it finally popped in along with the rest of my cock up until my medial ring, due to the force I was already applying.

Lexi moaned loudly and hugged me tight as she felt me spear her with half my dick, stretching her wide in a way her anatomy was not ready for. She gripped me tight and kissed me deeply as my cock throbbed inside her unimaginably tight pussy, her hymen now just a distant memory when the pain of that breaking was overcome by the pleasure of my schlong spreading her wide.

The feeling of her petals wrapped around my cock was indescribable, it was a million times better than just jacking off and I felt it all through my body when I started pulling my hips back, ready to start thrusting away like the porno stallions. But Lexi stopped me, she wrapped her legs around my waist and pulled my close, not letting me pull out and instead forcing the rest of my cock inside her. Oh my god, it was brilliant. I know I've said it a lot but it was, I kissed her deeply and started grinding my groin against her as the entirety of my cock throbbed inside her sopping wet passage.

Eventually we realised that, no matter how good it felt, there won't be enough pleasure for either of us to cum if we stayed still. With that I broke the kiss for a moment just to pant "let go of my waist for now, so I can really fuck you" I don't know where it came from but I think me ordering her like that turned her on because she responded by biting her lip, loosening her legs around my waist and mooing softly "I think you can do it anyway, stud"

She turned me on so much I just started ploughing her right then and there. A constant barrage of my hips jerking back and forth; pistoning my dick into her passage, lubed with sweat, pre and her own sweet pussy juices. As her moans got louder, my thrusts got faster accompanying my increased speed was her pussy clenching and unclenching around me, like her cock slot was just begging to be filled up.

Needless to say, it did. It was all a blur, one moment I was ramming my dick into her, the next she was drooling cum around my cock as I kept pumping spurt after spurt of foal batter into my beautiful bovine girlfriend. I had my eyes shut and all I could hear was the sound of Lexi's moans being interrupted my hips slammed hard into her as I came down from the amazing high, my dick still twitching inside her.

I slowly opened my eyes and looked down at Lexi. She was covered in sweat and squeezing her tits as she caught her breath, but there was something about the look she gave me. She was happy but there was a part of her that looked mad at me. Before I had too much time to wonder she panted "You...didn't...let...me....cum" her tongue was hanging out and her pussy was squeezing around my cock as I sheepishly blushed and apologised.

I didn't know what to say, I just had the best experience of my life and instantly after...I was being scolded. I wish I told you that I pulled out and started eating her out but, no, I didn't do that. I just sat on my knees, balls deep in bovine pussy as my cock twitched and her pussy squeezed "I'm sorry" were the only two words I could squeak out before she grinned and pulled me down to kiss me deeply.

Remember how I told you how much I like kissing? It got me right back up again. Her tongue invading my mouth as she held me tight instantly made my cock start inflating again, still inside her. I don't know how it felt for her but I'm guessing it was brilliant because she bit my tongue trying to stifle a moo as I stretched her out again. After she was sure I was completely hard inside her she broke the kiss and glared at me "Don't you dare cum until I have" All I could do then was nod, bite my lip and squeeze my eyes shut as I tried to go for as long as possible

I'm pretty sure it worked though, picturing her dad walking in on us and a variety of other off putting things, kept me from blowing my load too early. I settled into a monotonous pattern of thrusting away that didn't feel as good for me but made Lexi squeal each time my flare brushed against what I'm pretty sure was her g-spot. Soon I opened my eyes and focused on Lexi as she started mooing my name and squeezing me tight, in a hug and in her pussy. I don't know how long it took but I realised she was having an orgasm and that made me so happy with myself I managed to cum again, blasting her already stuffed pussy with a fresh heaping of spooge. Yes, I know, I'm a vain asshole. But I still made her cum.

So after that, we spent the night in each other's arms, occasionally fucking if we had the energy. Though I spent most of my time groping her we still had a relaxing night. After we had done that together we were inseparable, I spent almost every moment of my day with her; and I loved it. We regularly had sex, we were so comfortable with each other we gave each other tips on how to do what to make the other moan. It was brilliant, she couldn't get enough of me and I couldn't get enough of her.

When it came time for me to graduate from high school I knew what I wanted to do with myself. I wanted to marry her and spend the rest of my life with her. So, I told my best friend to keep her company, he was a skinny Russian horse that hit on anything that moved, I was sure it was a safe bet to leave her with him. I trust my friends.

I went out with some of my other friends; all of them knew that I wanted to propose to her even the Russian. So we went out searching for a ring and we found it; silver with a sapphire band through the middle, it was the best I could afford as a student but I knew it was perfect for her. I held onto it and went home on my own, leaving my mates together to do whatever they do.

When I arrived at her place, by now she had given me a key so I could get in whenever. When I got there, I walked upstairs, came inside, saw her legs in the air and heard her mooing loudly. I stood there; I had no idea what to do. My best friend and the woman I was planning on marrying, fucking on the couch.

I fucking snapped. I marched over to the couch and yelled at my 'best friend' "You fucker! Get your pants on and go to the front garden." I know it sounds weird but I didn't want to bash someone up while they were balls deep in my would-be mate. I waited out the front for him and as soon as he stepped onto the street I decked him. One punch, straight to the face, was all I needed to knock him out. But I wasn't done there.

I screamed and yelled at him as I kicked and punched him on the ground. How dare he. He knew what I was going to do. He knew I loved her. I wanted to start a family with that bitch!! Fuck him. Fucking asshole and that fucking whore. Fuck them. Fuck them!!!"

The horse took a deep breath and clenched his fists tight, as his nostrils flared and sweat ran down his head. After a little bit of heavy breathing he looked up at his roommate, the feminine fox sitting on the edge of the seat. "And then what?" came from the foxes small mouth as he sat next to Pete. The horse closed his eyes, held back a sob, and murmured "That's it."

The two sat for a moment, in silence before Pete spoke again "That's why I do it."

"Do what? The fox asked cautiously as he adjusted his dress to try to let his maternal instincts shine.

Pete looked at the fox, tears glinting in his eyes "That's why I don't fuck single women." He sobbed softly and murmured "Why should other couples be happy if I can't?" The fox hugged his roommate and kissed him gently on the nose, cooing softly "Shh, it'll be okay, I promise. Do you want to come out with me tonight? I'm going out with some friends and you look like you could use a drink"

Pete shook his head and gave the fox a soft hug back "No thanks Sly. I've done enough talking for today. I just need to rest, preferably alone." Sly nodded his head and kissed Pete's nose again as he stood up and made sure his dress didn't get crumpled "Sure thing sweetie. I'll see you tomorrow morning" With that, Sly hugged the stallion one last time before picking up his handbag and walking out the door, looking back to make sure his roommate is okay "Don't do anything too drastic Petey" He chided as he closed the door.

"I could say the same to you" Pete murmured and lay back on the couch, breathing deeply and crying but still glad Sly got him talking. Pete knew that talking was good for problems; at least, that's what all the school counsellors said.
