#2 of fur paridise


Chapter two

The household awoke with a stir as the sound of helicopter blades chopped through the air. The loud whirling blades drew closer and closer till even James, a heavy sleeper as bears tend to be, woke up. Everyone went to the living room still groggy from poor sleep in an unfamiliar environment. The only furs that got any sleep were the two wolves. Rocky never cared about where he crashed. A while back he woke up three cities over and in an ally. Kasey was one of those sleepers that when she hit something soft after a long day she was out till morning.

The grab bag assortment of people gathered together near a window but the chopper was above the house so seeing it was practically impossible. It sounded like it was hovering above the house just out of view. Rocky was sick of waiting for it. If it was the police that crazy bitch upstairs was in some trouble. If it was the crazy bitch up stairs they it was time for more "fun" in the form of insanity, chaos, and a top hat. He opened the front door, between the kitchen and living room, and looked up. The ferret was standing on a large 10 foot by 15 foot box, looking down at Rocky. "Hey wolf boy I thought I said stay inside." She called to him as the helicopter lowered. He smiled ad called back "what's in the box miss can-o-nuts?" she didn't give a reply because he already knew.

Some of the other occupants came out to see the ferret. First Todd poked his head out the door then Sarah and then Sierra pushed them though the door wanting a good look. The ferret stepped back to the edge. Watching her little pets she fell back and looked as though she fell to the very lease a bone shattering end. When the others expected her body to pass Rocky watched the bottom of the box where she had stopped and hung upside down, her shoes had a metal hook on them that caught a steel bar on the underside of the box. She hung there looking down at the startled furs that looked very confused until they saw what had happened.

When she was a few feet from the ground she slipped from her shoes, flipped then landed softly in the grass. She padded across the lawn to the group as the box landed where she had. "I brought clothes furniture and stuff to spice up the house. White is such a dreary color to me so it's required you pick something fun to paint the walls in! Oh and consider this your first challenge so think carefully." She said then gave a smile as she trotted off into the house.

They all stood there looking at the box for maybe ten minutes till Todd tilted his head and wondered aloud. "Ummm how do we get into it?"

No one answered they just stared and thought. James got an idea and walked up and tried pulling on the side that was nailed in. Kodi and Seth followed the example and started pulling on the edge. Soon every one helped out pulling on the edge where they could. The box creaked as it pulled forward. The nails gave way in quick succession as the side of the box busted off then fell to the ground with a loud crash and a shower of splinters. Xavier jumped behind rocky giving out a loud yip of surprise when the wall came down.

Kasey ran up and stared at the many more wooden boxes inside, each had a name in bold capital letters of obsidian black. Each one has a ragged rope handle so it could get pulled out. At the top was a thin gap about a foot or so with seven dollies. The men started pulling down the boxes off the top and aligning them so it's set up in the roommate pairs. They each worked together, biggest working the dolly and the little ones steadying it as they wheeled the five by two and a half by three boxes in one by one....by one... What was left in the first massive box was a smaller massive box marked living room. It was around a twelve by seven box that sat in the empty shell of wood. It had seven rope handles on each side and looked like it needed to be pulled by all seven of the biggest furs. James, Seth, Rocky Sierra, Kodi, Beth and Thomas each grabbed a handle and pulled hard. The crate inched forward slowly until the smaller ones like Todd and Samantha could push the box forward from the other side. It lurched forward and out of the starter box, lying in the lawn. Once it was at rest every one headed back to their rooms and opened up the boxes with their names.

Each one had various colored sheets, pillow cases, two pillows, a large miss matched comforter. Rocky got one with pink flowers. When he pulled it out he let out a groan and shook his head. "You have got to be fucking with me... that lady needs help.. Like serious help. Xavier what did you get?"

the otter rose up a black and blanket with acid green skulls. The wolf lit up with a grin and the otter shook his head. "Nope I ain't trading. That shit is gay even for me. I'll hold onto it since you like it so much and if you can trade your girly thing for something purple or possibly tribal I'll let you have it." Rocky nodded and continued looking through the box.

There was a bed sheet that didn't match his personality or his pink blanket. It was a yellow blanket with sunflowers on it. He scoffed and tossed it aside. "We all got what we don't like. Something... that we would want to trade or.... Put together... like a... personality puzzle... but with sheets. It must have been luck you got mine. But let's see your sheet." The otter found his sheet which was navy blue with anchors and helms. Rocky chuckled and said" oh ya that's Todd for sure. Hmm what else we got?" he pulls out a wider verity of clothes like tank tops, fish net, skirts, jeans, and a rather insulting dress that was fit to his size. On it was a note saying

I hope you like it I had to eye ball the measurements.

The mad hatter

Ps. if you're going to insult me be classy and creative.

Rocky started to laugh hard and fall back, laying on the floor. "Oh damn she got me good. Ok lady its game time. When I'm done with your little task I'm going to get you back." Xavier looked at him and then the note then chuckled. Once they were done with the note they started digging through the boxes again. At the end of the crate were two cans of the same color paint. Rocky had a light sky blue and Xavier had the yellow color of the bed sheets rocky got.
