#24 of First Steps 2: Happy Trails


"Angie Rachel Tripp, the court sentences you to 200 hours of community service. Case dismissed." Judge Garrison pounds the gavel and everyone gets up to leave. My heart halfway drops and halfway dances. I'm not going to jail; but I still have to suffer the consequences. Oh well, this is still a victory to me. But to my lawyer, Rook (grey raccoon), he doesn't think so.

"I'm sorry I didn't do better at defending you Miss Angie." Rook says. "It's just-"

"Are you kidding me?" I ask. "You were awesome!"

"I was?" I smile starts to form.

"Yes! You told the jury off when they started suggesting I go to prison! You also shoved the evidence in their faces when they ignored it and didn't pay attention to the big picture! You're a damn good lawyer!" I pat him on the back. Rook's defended me before when it came Allan. How come he thinks he's terrible? He's legit!

"Thanks Angie." Rook says. "I'm glad I could help you again. It still sucks you have to do service around this town."

"Better than going to jail." I point out.

"True." We get up and leave the room. As he head out to leave the courthouse, I think about the last week. It was crazy how things turned out. I'm sorta off the hook for the Camp Roadrock incident, Todd's going to be released from the hospital in a few days, Wendell's preparing for the wedding the week before their school starts back up, and Bruno's... I don't know. Last I checked, he's still in a coma. The nurse there said he's still alive though so that's a good thing.

Me and Rook exit the courthouse and into the familiar Los Angeles streets. We walk over to Rook's motorcycle and gets his helmet. I know a lawyer and a motorcycle rarely cross; but it happens.

"Angie?" Rook asks.

"Yes?" I ask.

"Are you going to be ok?" I think about it for a second. Our lives are never going to be the same after last week. But now that I think about it, all of us have managed to face one challenge after the other.

"Yeah. I'll be fine. You?" Rook hops on his motorcycle and revs it up.

"Yeah. I'm sure I'll be ok. Anytime you need me, just call me." With that, he takes off down the street.

"Thanks again Rook!!" I yell after him. He waves back at me and keeps motoring. I stand still for a moment, letting the summer breeze flow through my pink fur. I need to redye it soon. My tail calmly swishes back and forth. A few leaves scatter across the sidewalk. The smile on my face seems surprising; but I have no reason to be sad right now.

I start walking back to the apartment. News hasn't spread much about what happened at Camp Roadrock. That's doesn't mean people don't know about it though. I decide to walk a bit slower than usual today. I just want to enjoy what's around me right now. Soon, I'll be doing manual labor for a long time. It'll be worth it since it beats being stuck in a confined cell for who knows how long.

My apartment is about a mile walk from the courthouse so it takes me a while before I reach it. I push open the gate to the very familiar apartment complex. I walk up the stairs carefully. Not sure why I'm cautious. Maybe I'm still a bit scared about something with the whole Rodger thing.

I walk down the banister and stop at my door on the end. I reach into my pocket, pull out my key, and unlock the door. The whole place is exactly the same as it's always been. Kitchen right in front of me, TV room on the left, and two bedrooms in the small hallway with the bathroom at the end. The only thing different is Janelle is no longer here. My best friend and roommate for years is gone. She's never going to walk this in place again. She'll never be able to find love. She'll never get to have kids of her own.

I walk into the living room and sit on the couch in front of the TV. I immediately stand back up when I feel something big and soft on the couch and it makes a grunting noise. Whatever it was, it's sitting under a purple blanket. I crack my knuckles, prepared to fight whoever is under there. Carefully, I tug the blanket and toss it aside. I put my fists down when I realize who it is.

"I thought you'd greet me in a better way than sit on me." Bruno says.

"Oh my god!!" I pull him off the couch and hug him tight. He hugs back.

"Missed you too." He says. I pull back and keep him at arm's length, tears threaten to come out.

"I don't understand. How? I thought you were in a coma?!" I excitedly ask.

"I thought I was at camp. Next thing you know I'm in a hospital bed." Bruno says. He still has red paws and red ears.

"You were knocked out for about a week." I say. "We've been through a lot; me and the gang."

"What happened?" He asks.

"I'll explain later. For now, let's just enjoy right now." I kiss him on the lips and hug him again. "But... there is something you should know."

"What?" I take few deep breaths and my chest becomes heavy. This is probably the worst news anyone can ever deliver.

"Janelle... is dead."

"What?! What happened?"

"Rodger killed her. Allan's brother. Put a bullet through her head."

"Where is he? I'll kill the bastard!"

"I already did. Burned him to death."

"Oh. Alright. You think you'll be fine."

"I hope. I'm gonna miss her so much though. We've been through everything together. To just lose her like that is very awful." I bury my muzzle in his shoulder to keep from crying more but a tear slips away from me.

"It's ok baby. You've still got me." He whispers in my ear. It twitches a bit and I smile. We pull back a bit and smile at each other. We slowly lean forward again and kiss each other, more heatedly this time. My paw finds and rubs his chest. Bruno's paw massages my back causing me to murr into the kiss. Our heated kissing lasts about a few minutes. When it ends, we both breathe a bit heavily.

I look down when something pokes my hips. That's when I notice it's just for the least way of putting it, "Bruno". I look back into his eyes and he blushes. "Only if you want to." He says. I said before our lives are going to change. I'm madly in love with Bruno and enjoy being his girlfriend. Maybe with this I can start a new life.

"I want to." I say.

"Where?"

"My room." It's gonna stink no longer getting to say "me and Jani's room". Bruno picks me up, his smaller self poking my leg, and carries me to my room. I close the door shut and he lays me down on the bed. Bruno starts taking me clothes off and I with him.

When were both naked, we caress each other's fur. His is so soft and beautiful. Bruno bends down and kisses my neck. Not roughly, but in a cute manner. I let him. He rubs my stomach to get me turned on more and it's working.

"Under the bed." I moan. Bruno kneels down under the bed and brings up a small box of condoms. He gives me a questioning look. "In case I ever needed them." I explain.

"Ok." Bruno says. He takes one out and puts it on his hard cock. "I'm gonna go gentle on you baby, ok?"

"Alright." I say, ready for it. He carefully lines himself up and pushes himself into my pussy. I moan out in pain. Is this what losing your virginity is like? I close my eyes and bite my lip to keep from crying out again.

"Shhhh, calm down Ange." Bruno says in a soothing/seductive voice. "It hurts at first but it gets better."

"Ok. Just do it." I moan. He slowly picks up the pace as he bends over and kisses me again. I wrap my arms around him. Bruno fucks me at the same pace for most of the session. I moan into his lips and he murrs. When it breaks, I can tell he's on the brink of orgasm. To be honest, I am too.

"Oh god!!!" I yell.

"Ohhhhhhh!!!!!" Bruno moans. "Angie!! I'm about to go!!!" He starts to fuck faster and I feel like I might burst from pleasure.

"Ohhh Bruno!!!" He fucks harder and I moan louder. He kisses my neck a little more roughly as he thrusts faster. At least he doesn't bite.

My paws crawl down his back and back up. His tail curls around my legs and he fucks me faster. Eventually, he yells and cries out indicating his orgasm had come. When that happens, he calms down and pulls himself out of me. His cock dripping with cum. Hold on, how? He had a condom!

I lean forward and pull the condom off his dick. "Angie what're you doing?" Bruno asks. I stick the condom around my finger and just what I feared: a patch of fur from my finger reveals a hole in the plastic.

"The condom broke." I said.

"What?!?" Bruno half-yells. I show him the hole he made. "Oh no. I'm so sorry. I-I-I didn't know that was gonna happen i thought I was being careful and-"

"Bruno." I stop his hyperventilation. "It's ok. You didn't do on purpose." I think for a second. "You didn't do it on purpose did you?"

"No! I would never do that!" He says. "I guess I was just... lost in the moment, you know?"

"It's fine." I say. On the inside, I'm panicking. What if I get STDs or pregnant? I know Bruno didn't mean to do this but it doesn't take away the worry. I'm not ready to raise a child and I'm not sure what to do if I got sick from this.

"I'm sorry Angie." Bruno says, pinning his ears down and getting up to gather his clothes.

"Bruno. Don't punish yourself for this. Accidents happen." I say.

"Yes but this accident can cause bad things. Why must I screw things up?"

"You didn't! Calm down! I don't want to lose my boyfriend right when he's woken up just because of something that was never intended to happen!" I rant.

"You sure?"

"Positive."

"Ok. But I probably should go get my clothes back on." Bruno says, gathering his shirt, pants and underwear. I get my clothes back on too, trying not to think too much about what just happened.

When I get my shirt on and pants buttoned, I hear the doorbell. I walk out of my room, walk around the kitchen counter and open the door. It's Dexter.

"Hi Dex." I say, hugging him tight.

"Hey Ange. How're you doing?" There's that southern accent I missed so much.

"I'm doing fine. Wanna come in?"

"No. I don't have time."

"Why's that?" Dexter heavily exhales, takes his hat off and runs a paw through the fur on his head before putting his hat back on.

"I'm not staying."

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"Remember Tom?"

"Oh you mean your boyfriend?" I wink and poke him in the side to tease him. He smiles and giggles.

"Yes. My boyfriend. Well, him and I found a nice house in Arizona. We're moving; we're leaving next week." I frown and stare at him. He's really going away? This sucks. I'll admit a sympathy tear does roll down. I hugs him tight again and he lets out a small purr before stopping, but he does hug back.

"I'm gonna miss you big guy." I say.

"I'll miss you too Ange." He says.

"Are you guys gonna visit to see Todd and Wendell's wedding?"

"Of course. They invited me so obviously I'm gonna come."

"Ok. Just asking."

"I'll still be here for the rest of the week. But I've gotta go to Tom's house in Utah and help him start packing."

"Alright. Well, this isn't goodbye though."

"Of course not. Never." We smile at each other one more time before he heads off and goes down the stairs. I head back into my apartment and close the door. Bruno sits at the counter looking at me.

"Who was that?" He asks.

"Dexter. He's moving."

"Really?" He sits up and his ears perk up. "Where to?"

"Arizona. He's gonna live with Tom."

"That's awesome. I'm happy for them."

"Me too." I smile. I lean across the counter and kiss him again. Someone knocks on my door. I'm thinking it's Dexter, maybe he forgot to tell me something, but when I open the door, Todd and Wendell stand there.

"Hey cousin." Wendell says.
