"You... kissed him?" I ask. Dexter just blushes a bit more.

"Yes," he says, "I kissed Tom. Does that make me bad? For lying about who I said I was?" I give him a big hug.

"Of course not," I say, "To be honest, I think you two look cute together."

"Thanks Ange."

"You're welcome."

"Well don't just stand there, tell us what happened." Bruno says.

"Maybe tomorrow, I promised Tom I'd be at his place by Lights Out." Dex says.

"Isn't that Cabin 1?" I ask.

"Yep. Night guys." With that, he walks off and closes the door. A couple seconds later, the lights go out. It's pitch black in here. I can't see where I'm going. I start inching my way towards the bed.

"Angie, you ok?" Bruno asks. I hear something scuffle on the other side of the place.

"Yeah. I'm fine." Is what I say as I hear something crash into the ground. I freeze where I am when I hear Bruno moan and groan. "Bruno? You alright?"

"No," he says, "I'm pretty sure I broke my ankle."

***

"How'd this happen?" the nurse asked when I took Bruno to the infirmary the next morning. She's a husky with purple fur with her paws and I'm guessing her feet being white.

"The lights went out," Bruno starts out, "my girlfriend was still at the door and I got up to make sure she was ok and... I guess I must've tripped over my briefcase.

"You weren't running were you?" I looked at the nurse's name tag. Katie.

Bruno blushes and pins his ears down when he hears that and says, "Yes. I was."

"Well, you shouldn't be running in the dark. You're lucky it's only a sprain. But I'd be careful with that foot for a couple days."

"Ok."

"Is he still fine to walk around?" I ask.

"I wouldn't recommend him walking by himself; but he'll be fine." Katie says.

"Thank you." I put my arm around Bruno and help him on his feet. He winces a bit when he's on his left foot, but he'll survive. Walking is slow as hell, but he'll be ok.

When we're outside, the sun has just barely appeared over the horizon. the grass is wet from morning dew and it gets on my ankle.

Tom is alone at The Clearing. I want to say he's waiting for us, but I'm not so sure because of the thing with Dex.

"Hi guys," Tom says when he sees us. Then he looks at Bruno's left foot. "What happened?"

"Bruno ran in the dark and accidentally tripped over his suitcase." I explain.

"It wasn't during Lights Out was it?"

"Yes!" Bruno yells, "Ok! I ran in the dark because I'm an idiot! Do I have to say it again?!"

"I'm sorry." Tom says.

"What's up with the Lights Out thing anyways?" I ask. "I mean, it clearly has its downsides." I point at Bruno's foot.

"I'm so sorry guys, really I am. But if it were my choice, there wouldn't be any Lights Out at all."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I was forced to make that rule. Along with the 'no sex' rule. I was told to enforce that rule or the secret that I'm gay would get out."

"Someone is blackmailing you?" I ask. Tom just nods. "Do you have any idea who?"

"No."

"We swear we'll find out who." Bruno says.

"Shhhh! He could have the place wired." Tom whispers. Todd and Wendell come at the table a couple minutes later. Todd wears a smirk on his muzzle.

"Ok, we're here, now are you gonna tell me?" Wendell asks. Tom starts smiling the same way Todd does.

"Should we tell them?" Todd asks.

"We can do better than that. Show them." Tom says. Todd reaches for the hem of his shirt and lifts it to expose his stomach.

"Oh my god!" I say.

"Foxy! How'd you do that?" Wendell asks. He runs his paw through Todd's re-dyed rainbow fur. "You're stomach wasn't rainbow last night."

"Yeah, how'd you do it, man?" Bruno asks.

"I borrowed some dye from Tom." Todd says.

"You have fur dye?" I ask. Tom points to the streak of pink and the streak of blue in his hair. "Oh. Right."

"When did you do it, though?" Wendell asks.

"While you were in the shower. I snuck off to Tom's cabin, he helped me dye my stomach and I hurried back to ours before you got out." Todd says.

"Sneaky, sneaky foxes." my cousin shakes his head, then perks up. "Wait, if Tom has dye, then let's go back to his place and get your tail done."

"You're right. Tom, mind if I-?"

"Of course," Tom says, "Let's go." The three of them get up to leave. I turn to Bruno and start to thinking. Every inch of fur on this dog is black. Maybe it's time for him to get a change too.

"What're you thinking about?" Bruno asks.

"Just thinking about what you'd look like with red ears and paws." I say.

"You're not thinking about changing my fur are you?" I put on an evil grin. "Well, if I'm gonna change mine," Bruno thinks for a second, "then you have to change all of you fur... to purple."

"You wouldn't dare!" I gasp. I do not like purple on my fur. It makes me look horrible.

"Fine. Only one way to settle it." Bruno reaches into his pocket and pulls out a quarter. He puts it on his fingers and flips it in the air. "Call it!"

"Heads." I say.

***

"I just had to use the quarter tactic." Bruno says. As you can tell, the coin landed on heads. We went to tom's cabin to join the others immediately after. I'm putting the finishing touches on Bruno's left ear. Now, he's my black and red puppy. Bruno just stares at his newly changed paws. My cousin Wendell smirks and giggles at us as Tom works on Todd's tail.

"What's so funny?" Bruno asks.

"Oh nothing... ladybug." Wendell says.

"Enough with the nicknames, will you?! Besides, you've got a lot of room to talk, pink tail."

"So I dyed some of my fur too. You're just mad because you can't think of a clever nickname." Wendell wags his tail back and forth. He only got the tip of his tail changed. It's only about an inch of it, though. It would almost look like my tail, except mine's a lot fluffier than his.

"This stuff only lasts four weeks," I tell Bruno, "After that, I won't make you change it again."

"Oh, don't worry Angie." Bruno says, "I'll get you back for this one day."

"Yeah, right." I roll my eyes and kiss him on the lips. "You look so cute though." He smiles and puts his paws up like the cute little puppy he is.

Someone knocks on the door to Tom's cabin. "Come in!" the arctic fox yells while he's finishing the purple on Todd's tail. The door opens and Dexter comes in.

"Sorry guys, I just forgot my cameo hat." he says.

"It's on the bed, kitty." Tom smiles at Dex. Are these guys ever going to say they're a pair yet? Dex goes over to Tom's bed and reaches under the pillow and grabs his hat. At the same time, Tom finishes Todd's tail.

"And there. Done." Tom puts down the brush, looking proud. Todd stands up and admires his tail.

"Oh my! Tom, thank you!"

"Yeah, thanks for returning my rainbow foxy." Wendell says, then grabs Todd's paw and kisses him.

"You're welcome guys." Tom says.

"I owe you one." Todd says.

"No, it's ok."

"Seriously. How about me and Wendell take you and Dexter on a double date later?" Dexter blushes when Todd proposes the idea. Tom perks his ears up and smiles.

"Really? You'll take us out?" Tom asks. Todd nods and when he does, Tom hugs him tight, then hugs Wendell tight. "Here that, kitty? Looks like we're going on a date." Tom walks over and kisses Dex then snuggles up to him. I hear the tiger start to pur. They're so cute together.

"That sounds awesome," Dex says. "So, I see y'all got your fur dyed."

"Yep. Want yours changed?" Tom asks.

"Oh," Dex blushes, "What would you change it to?" Tom gets up and slowly walks over to his dresser. He skims his paws over a few different shades of green. He picks up a coupls of them and walks back over to Dex.

"Kitty?" he asks.

"Yes?" Dexter says.

"You like cameo, right?" Tom smirks.

***

"He changed it to what?" Bruno laughs when I told him what Tom did to Dex. Me and him walk paw in paw around the camp. Bruno's ankle still hurts so of course I said we can take it slow.

"Yep. He made Dexter's arms look cameo." I say.

"How'd he do it?"

"I have no idea. Tom's really good with fur dye I guess." I lead Bruno to the lake. Not the one we found in the woods, the one that isn't far from here.

"Where are you taking us?" Bruno asks.

"I'm just walking us around a bit. Why?"

"Because it sometimes seems like you're pulling us in a different direction every few minutes." I didn't tell him we're heading to a lake. I set up a special surprise for him there. Not sure how he'd react though. Or if he'd be interested for that matter.

"No, you're just being crazy."

"Excuse me!?!?" he says.

"I'm joking. Wendell's right. You can't take a joke."

"Well, it's hard to tell when someone's being serious, or if someone's pulling your leg."

"Relax puppy. See, it's right there," I point ahead of us. A good sized lake is ahead of us. On the shore is a boat, or canoe. Whatever you want to call it.

"Canoes? You're taking me on a canoe ride?" Bruno asks.

"Well, I figured maybe we should. You know... since we're alone."

"Angie. I'm not having sex with you for the first time on a canoe in the middle of a lake." I smack him on the back of the head.

"No, genius," Hey Bruno! Can you tell that that was sarcasm? "We're just gonna ride around in it, maybe talk and kiss and whatnot. I'm not going to do that with you."

"Alright. Just making sure." Bruno walks another few steps before his smart mouth says, "Unless... you want to..."

"Want me to break your other foot?"

"Ok! I'm walking!" We get to the edge of the lake. The canoe was flipped upside-down so I had Bruno helps me get it right-side up. He push it into the water a bit to make sure it floats. Sure enough, it does.

With his foot still in pain, I help Bruno into the canoe and I get in next. I push us away from the shore and we drift away from it, slowly. I turn back to my boyfriend and we hold each other's paws. "It's great that we're alone, you know." Bruno says, "We haven't had alone time in a while."

"Well, that's because we needed to get todd's mind off of you-know-what." I say, "But you're right. This is nice."

"Do you think we'll turn out like Todd and Wendell?"

"Umm... possibly. Thought, I would want to have to move across the country to forget a permanently scarring memory."

"You have a good point." I smile. After a while, Bruno lies down flat on the foot of the canoe and I cuddle up to him. Our muzzles meet for a little bit. I'm not gonna lie: Bruno, awesome kisser.

"You look cute with you red fur dye." I say.

"Awww stop it." he blushes.

"It's true!"

"Well, you look good in pink."

"Thanks." He's so sweet.

"May I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"What's your natural fur color?"

"Orange. Like most foxes."

"Oh. Well, I love the pink fur you have. It looks nice on you."

"Thanks." We kiss again. Bruno wraps his paws around me tighter. I do the same for him. I hear something beating against the floor of the canoe but then quickly realize that it's just Bruno's tail wagging like crazy. I'll admit I flicker my tail a bit, but when Bruno gets happy, you can definitely tell.

I press my lips to his again, keeping them there. Bruno murs a bit and it's cute. I climb on top of him, being extra careful to not put too much pressure on his left foot. My tail wags back and forth a bit and kiss him again.

He kisses my nose and the top of my head. "I love you Angie." he says.

"I love you too, Bruno." I say. I rest my head on his chest. He pets my back for a while. That's what drives a mur out of me.

"Hey, Ange?" he whispers in my ear.

"Yeah?"

"You ever imagined what our future will be like?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, Todd and Wendell are getting married here in several weeks. What do you think will happen to us in about a year?"

"I don't know. Maybe you and I could do the same thing. We'll just have to see where this goes."

"I hope it goes good for us."

"I know it will." After another while of snuggles and kisses. I hear something. Probably just another camper. They sometimes hike around here. Just when I think that it was nothing, something lands with a THUNK right into our canoe.

"What was that?" Bruno asks. We both immediately sit up. I notice a white mist in the air that wasn't there a second ago. Bruno inhales some of the stuff. When he does, his eyes roll back and he slumps back down on the floor. I only just barely manage to get the words out before I fall unconscious.

"Sleeping gas."

***

I wake up to darkness. Nothing. I can barely see two feet in front of me. I slowly get up, my head spinning like the planet. The last thing I remember is the sleeping gas. I don't remember anything after.

"Bruno?" I call out. Suddenly, I hear a grunting noise several yards away. It sounds like Bruno. I start to walk towards the noise, but I'm suddenly jerked back. I try to move another few feet, but something's holding me back. It's almost as if I'm tied down to something.

Now that I think about it, I feel a bit of extra weight on my waist. And no, I have not gained any lately. I put my paws at my waist and I feel metal. I run two of my fingers across it. It feels a lot like chains. I lead my paws to where the chains lead. Not three feet away, I run into something big. A tree. My paws feel the same kind of metal all around the trunk.

I put the pieces of the puzzle together.

Someone knocked us out, then chained me to a tree.

I'm trapped.
