World of Paws: Destiny of the Brood

Persistence II

Jackson Junior was busy playing an online multiplayer game on his R- Console 85.
Jackson Junior: "Anyways, all I am saying is that nothing big will happen unless I hit the guard on the right! Not the left!"
Online Friend: "Okay, aiming for the left!"
Jackson Junior: "Alright! Yeah! Missile fighter gone! Hahaha!"
Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!
Jackson Junior: "For the last time Angel, I am not reading a bedtime story you, Zakari, Jaronte, Joseph, Eliza, or even to Cecelia! Go ask Sherman or Zaino! So just go to sleep!"
Felicia: "Uhm... no it's me... Felicia. Can we talk?"
Jackson Junior: "Give me a minute! Firing Squad I am stepping away from the console for a moment. Make sure tell our squad to cover me, Rojas."
Rojas: "Don't call me by my real name brah. No real names online. Remember?"
Jackson Junior: "Just defend me, while I'm away! Be right back."
He takes off the game console's headphones and opens his bedroom door.
Jackson Junior: "Good afternoon, Felicia."
In Felicia's Mind: "Okay, okay, he's talking to you! Just breathe and respond... oh who am I kidding! How can I possibly respond without partially getting lost in those dark blue eyes of his! Aach! He's so freaking cute!"
Jackson Junior: "Uhm... hello? Felicia? Felicia? Felicia?"
Felicia: "Huh, what?"
Jackson Junior: "Are you alright?"
Felicia: "Oh? Oh yes, right. Right... uhm... I was wondering if I could... uhm..."
Felicia's Mind: "Come on! Think of something!"
Felicia: "Can I join you in your game?"
Felicia says uneasily as she puts on an anxious smile.
Jackson Junior: "Uhm, sure... I'll just add you as a guest so you can use the second controller."
Felicia: "Great. So what's the game?"
Jackson Junior: "Sand Warriors 2."
Felicia: "I'm guessing number one isn't as special."
Jackson Junior: "It was good, but it only had the single-player campaign. This one on the other hand has both single player and multiplayer."
Felicia: "Okay... so can we pick our characters?"
Jackson Junior: "Yup, you can even customize them with certain costumes or uniforms."
Felicia: "Alright then let's go!"
In Felicia's Mind: "Hopefully after this... I can confess my secret to him."
......Half an hour later......
Jackson Junior: "Come on guys wipe them out! Me and my new combat buddy are doing most of the work!"
Rojas: "Dude, I think they are too inexperienced to even beat us! We got this base secure while you two wipe out the soldiers outside the perimeter!"
Felicia: "This is actually really fun."
Jackson Junior: "Glad that you think so. Now, keep firing! Whoo!"
In Felicia's Mind: "His authoritative voice... so forceful and... hot!"
The two finish the online match after forty more minutes of intense gameplay.
Jackson Junior: "I can't believe it! We won the match! We are at prestige status!"
Rojas: "Yo, Mercs! You UAA Force 10.0 put y'all down! Hahaha!"
Online Friend 2: "Yeah!"
Online Friend 3: "Booyah!"
Rojas: "Alright, guys! Same time tomorrow at eleven-pm!"
Jackson Junior: "That works! See ya then!"
Rojas: "Oh and bring your new partner again. She's got some skills."
Jackson Junior: "Will do! See ya!"
He logs out of his multiplayer profile and turns off the console.
Jackson Junior: "Ahh! That was even better than last time!"
Felicia: "Heheh! You're welcome, JJ."
Jackson Junior: "Didn't think you were the big gamer type."
Felicia: "Heheh, I sometimes play free roam games every once in a while so I'm kind of used to it."
There is moment of silence between them.
Jackson Junior: "So... uhm..."
In Jackson Junior's Mind: "She is such a beautiful mix of a wolf and a fox. I wonder which part is dominant? She looks like she wants to say something."
In Felicia's Mind: "He's so sure of himself! My gah... he's so... I can't resist! I must have him now! Think of something!"
Felicia: "So... uhm... I'm also in the theatre class at our school and I'm having a little trouble understanding how to get the dance steps correctly."
Jackson Junior: "Oh yeah, I check out practice performances for theatre club after school and everyone does well on it."
Felicia: "Did ever... heh... notice me?"
Jackson Junior: "Yeah! Of course I did. You were bending and flipping or something."
Felicia: "It was ballet and I practiced it for weeks, but this time I'm on the dancers team. Could you help me?"
Jackson Junior: "No. Also... why did you really want to come and see me?"
In Felicia's Mind: "Just come clean and tell him! Tell him you like him!"
Felicia: "I... the reason why I came in here is because... I..."
Jackson Junior: "You... what?"
Felicia: "JJ.... I think like you a lot JJ, and I want things to work out between us!"
She turns away as her cheeks flush with anxious anticipation for Jackson Junior's response.
Felicia's Mind: "Please, say yes and denounce that pure-bred coyote girl. Please JJ... choose  me and make me yours."
Jackson Junior: "Felicia... I just... don't see you in that way.
In Felicia's Mind: "What is he saying? Stop it! I've seen the way you glance at me whenever we're in class! I can't believe I've been friend-zoned!"
Felicia: "Then why were you checking me out after the some of the class laughed at me for tripping in class."
Jackson Junior: "Because I was concerned that ya might have gotten yourself hurt and I did help you up."
Felicia: "You looked into my eyes for more than fifteen seconds."
Jackson Junior: "That doesn't mean anything. Your radar eyes are a bit distracting. That's all."
Felicia: "JJ, I don't want my feelings for you to be rejected. Give me a chance. Please?"
Felicia starts to kiss the side of Jackson Junior's muzzle softly and then separates a minute later.
Felicia: "If you like Ruth more then push me away."
Jackson Junior: "Felicia, we're friends. Not to mention you're the commissioner's daughter. Plus, he doesn't like me or most of my siblings. You need to stop."
Felicia rejects his refusal and tries to kiss him a second time, but he moves his face away from her.
Jackson Junior: "I can't. It would be wrong if I did this with you now. Besides, I already have Ruth as my girlfriend. She's not going to up and leave me."
Felicia cuts him off by placing her paw digit over his mouth.
Felicia: "Shush. Stop talking."
She defiantly and deeply kisses him again with much more confidence.
Felicia: "I cannot just be friends with you JJ! I've wanted to tell you this very badly ever since eighth grade! I... lo.. love..."
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ
A ring is heard and Jackson Junior goes and picks up his holo-phone.
Jackson Junior: "Uhm... Hold that thought. It's Ruth."
......Phone call conversation......
Jackson Junior: "Hey, there Wild Beauty."
Ruth: "Heheh! Hi Wrecker Boy. I couldn't sleep yet because I was wondering if we could both go catch dinner and a movie after school tomorrow."
Jackson Junior: "But don't we have a mission tomorrow afternoon? Sherman is not going to like the idea of us skipping out on the team."
Ruth: "We'll tell him that we're investigating and stopping a petty theft crime on the western side of Arkson City."
Jackson Junior: "Mmm..."
Ruth: "Baby, come on... we need some more 'us' time. Time that doesn't involve catching criminals or using our powers. Come on... it's only one night. Please! Please! Please!"
Jackson Junior: "Alright! Alright. We'll go."
Ruth: "Thank you, JJ. Thank you! I love you."
Jackson Junior: "Yeah, I love you too, babe."
Ruth: "Heheh! See ya tomorrow morning honey."
Jackson Junior: "Goodnight."
......Phone conversation ends......
Jackson Junior hangs up and looks back at Felicia while she boils from jealously.
Jackson Junior: "What were you saying?"
Felicia: "I was going to say that I am in love with you and that I am a better match and teammate for you than Ruth is!"
She grabs his phone and places it back on his dresser.
Jackson Junior: "Felicia... you're a beautiful hybrid and you have a great sense of smell. And... I know you want to be apart of the Crisis Brood. However, you need to see the Vitaea Spirits of Boaguai and the Great Spirit of Light and wait for them to be deem you worthy of wielding a piece of their spiritual power."
Felicia: "What!? Why do I need powers when I can just use the tranq gun that my dad gave me to knock out enemies. And besides you still haven't answered my question regarding if you want me or not."
Jackson Junior: "I'm with Ruth, not you. End of discussion."
In Felicia's Mind: "Not so fast, dholabbit!"
Felicia: "No, no! I don't believe that. You felt something for me JJ! I know you did! I kissed you and you never pushed me away once. But as soon as Ruth called, you started acting strange. You have to decide who you want more! Me or the pure bred coyote girl!"
Jackson Junior: "That's not fair Felicia, I've known her longer than you and we've been close since childhood. You however, have been a study partner and a good friend for only a year. I'm sorry, I can't see you as anything more than that."
Felicia: (sighs)
Felicia looks away with disdain and sheds several tears before running into the hallway.
Jackson Junior: "Felicia! Felicia, wait!"
Felicia: "Save the sympathy speech! It's clear that you're not into me."
Jackson Junior: "Just listen. I was going to say that as much as you often infuriate me. I think that you're incredible at what you do."
Felicia: "You really think that?"
Jackson Junior: "Yes. So... truce?"
Felicia: "Truce."
They shake paws.
In Felicia's Mind: "Yes! There's still hope! Hope to have him for myself!"
Felicia: "I guess I'll go the guest room then."
Jackson Junior: "Wait... you can borrow my sleeping bag."
Felicia: "Thank you."
Jackson Junior: "You're welcome."
He helps to cover her shoulders within the sleeping bag and the two drift to sleep.
Jackson Junior: "Night."
Felicia: "You sleep well too... JJ."
Felicia waits until he is in a deeper state of REM sleep.
Fifteen minutes later she carefully wakes up and joins Jackson Junior in his bed. Felicia's tail starts wagging as she touches JJ's tail and his back and softly kisses his cheek before tucking herself near him.
In Felicia's Mind: "This is much more preferable."
Meanwhile, in the guest room Kina and Javaia are doing each other's makeup in the hopes of impressing Sherman.
Kina: "What do you think, girl? You think he'll like my lip gloss?"
She poses in front of the guest room mirror after placing her make up supplies back into her purse.
Javaia: "Well... I do have this."
Kina: "What is it?"
Javaia: "It's la plume de lobo."
Kina: "What does that mean?"
Javaia: "Not sure, but the one of the ingredients is wolf pheromones. I already applied it on myself so that whenever he passes by me in the morning. I'll be utterly irrisistible to him.
Kina: "Give me some!"
Javaia: "Sure, give it a shot. But don't use too much. I intend to have some extra time with the Razor Wolf first."
Kina: "Not if I reach him first."
She sprays leave the guest room and sprays two large mists of perfume over her fur and goes after Sherman. Javaia also follows her and sees that Sherman is up grabbing a glass of water and two thick fiber-ten energy bars.
Kina and Javaia adjusts their hairstyles to look glamorous.
Kina: "Hi... Sherman."
Javaia: (giggles) Yeah. Hello... handsome wolf man."
Sherman: "Hi girls, what brought you all down here? Feeling peckish?"
In Kina's Mind: "So cute when he pretends to not to know what's going on."
Kina: "No, nothin like that. We just wanted your opinion on how we look."
Sherman: "You two look beautiful. You two still look the same way as on your crossover albums."
Kina: "Oh really?"
Sherman: "Yeah. And... What is that intoxicating aroma?"
He inhales a very strong and familiar scent."
Kina: "It's La Plume de Lobo. I thought we'd see how you react."
Sherman's sense go crazy as he sniffs all over Kina and Javaia.
Kina: (blushes)
Javaia: (blushes)
Sherman then starts wagging his tail a lot.
Kina: "You're very excited tonight."
Sherman: "Would it be okay if I maybe admired the scent for a while?"
Kina: "Yes, go ahead Sherman. Please touch me. I have very sensitive glands on my chin and I'd love it if you gave those a rub."
Javaia: "Yeah! Me too, Razor Wolf! Touch me all over, please!"
In Sherman's Mind: "Their scent is so freaking intoxicating! I can't resist it! A black and white cat and a red squirrel furry giving me attention. Not to say they aren't attractive or anything, but I can't break my vow to Aubrey."
Sherman: "Okay, but no funny business."
Sherman gently rubs their muzzles as he takes in the scent of the pheromone.
Kina: "Oh... yes! I wish this kind of attention could last forever!"
Javaia: "Heheh, yeah! Maybe you should pleasure us both, Sherman. Maybe join us on a singing tour after school this coming weekend?"
Sherman: "I'll... I'll think about it."
Then footsteps are heard from upstairs.
Aubrey: Sherm-Sherm? Shermie?"
Sherman: "One second girls. Ahem, yes Aubs?"
Aubrey: "Do you have the protein bars yet? It's almost time for sleep and we have school in the morning. Come on. Let's go. And don't forget to get a glass of water for me."
Sherman: "Alright."
He fills up another glass of water for Aubrey and he takes the two snacks and water glasses up to his room with Aubrey following right behind him.
Sherman: "You coming, babe?"
Aubrey: "Be right with you in a minute, Sherm-Sherm!"
Sherman: "Okay."
He goes into his room and settles in while Aubrey goes back downstairs to chat with Kina and Javaia.
Kina: "Heheh, double or nothing on who gets him to open him more about himself."
Javaia: "You are on."
Aubrey: "Ahem! What?"
Kina: "Oh nothing."
Aubrey: "Uh...huh. Look I know you two prima donnas are semi-famous singers and all, but that doesn't mean you get to flirt with my boyfriend."
Kina: "Oh please! He deserves a lady with fame and he is a young man with loads of fame. Ergo we're better choices than you. The common Arctic Hare who only fell for him based on childhood friendships."
Aubrey: "Excuse me! I helped Sherman and his father save Arkson City! Him and I even got on three live interview shows with Jimmy Findello about how we deal with appreciation from fans."
Javaia: "That was eight years ago and you're the sidekick if anything. Him and his father are the only real heroes in this region."
Aubrey hears this and glares at them.
Javaia: "Aww, is the white bunny upset?"
Kina: "Hahah!"
In Aubrey's Mind: "How dare they speak about who's best for him! I'm his girlfriend and he mated with me first! I should just choke these two out! No, don't go there. What are you saying... you are not a killer."
Aubrey: "You two listen up carefully. The both of you are only here because you two are under our protection from known criminals who very well want you both dead or used as bait. Show some respect. Also, keep away from my mate, because if you two ever try hitting on him or taking advantage of his natural instincts again, I'll snap you both in half."
She threateningly uses her paralyzing touch ability on both Kina and Javaia.
Kina: "What? I can't move!"
Javaia: "Neither can I!"
Aubrey: "Part of me says I should, but I won't for my Shermie's sake."
She releases them from her paralyzing touch.
Aubrey: "Act professionally and casual around him or this is going happen a second time. Do you hear me?"
The two girls nod relenting to her clear warning.
Aubrey: "And for the record. I am not a rabbit. I'm a hare. A blessed arctic hare. Understood? Enjoy the rest of your night in the guest room."
She walks away confidently; knowing they got the message and returns to Sherman's room to calm her mood down.
Sherman: "Aubs? Are you alright?"
Aubrey: "No! I mean... I'm not sure."
Sherman: "Aubrey? What's wrong?"
Aubrey: "You'll just laugh."
Sherman: "I won't laugh. Tell me."
Aubrey: "Do you secretly think of me as just a sidekick who's only famous by merely associating with you?"
Sherman: "Babe? What brought this on?"
Aubrey: "The two moronic divas downstairs."
Sherman: "Kina and Javaia? Aubs, ignore them. They are only going to be here for tonight and then one of the other team members will take them in instead. Okay?"
Aubrey cries into his muscled chest for a while.
Sherman: "Shh, hey... hey... come on. It's going to be okay. You're not a sidekick, Aubrey. You are my mate, my girlfriend, and my Madame Hopper."
Sherman lifts his girlfriend's chin up and wipes the tears away from her eyes.
Aubrey: (sniffles) "Really? I don't feel like one after what they called me."
Sherman: "Aubs, look at me. Look at me. You are a hero just like me and don't ever let anyone tell or convince you of otherwise."
Aubrey: "Okay. Thank you, Shermie. You always know how to cheer me up."
Sherman then plants caring, passionate kiss on Aubrey's lips and holds her paw-like hands.
Aubrey: "Promise to never leave me too soon. Promise that?"
Sherman: "My beautiful arctic hare... I'm never leaving you. You know that."
Aubrey stands on the tips of her toes and plants a peck on his lips.
Aubrey: "I love you so much. Mwah, Mwah."
Sherman: "Mwah, I love you back."
Aubrey smiles affectionately as she and Sherman join each other in bed.
Sherman: "There's that adorable smile I love seeing."
Aubrey: (chuckles) "Mwah! You're the one who's adorable."
Sherman: "Oh yeah?"
Aubrey: "Yeah. You really are."
Sherman and Aubrey nuzzle each other as they slowly drift to sleep.
......At 3:30am......
In the master bedroom, Taciana notices that Jackson's side of the bed is empty.
Taciana: "Jackson?"
She puts on her sleeping robe and goes downstairs only to find him testing his subsonic watch on the kitchen ware.
Taciana: "Jacky? What are you doing? It's three-thirty in the morning."
Jackson: "Oh, hey... hey Tacci. Uhm... I'm just... practicing."
Taciana: "You mean you're playing with that subsonic watch again. Am I right?"
Jackson: "No... no. Alright, maybe, but just a little in case whenever I need to use it."
Taciana: "Jackson. My strong and handsome husband. We talked about this."
Jackson: "I know, but I still have to keep my natural skills sharp too, my lovely wife."
Taciana: "Baby... please come to bed. We both have to leave early for work in a few hours."
Jackson: "Alright, alright. I'll come up. But when I finish my shift, I'm going out on patrol."
Taciana: "Nice try Shadow Dhole, but some of our friends invited us to an opera opening."
Jackson: "Visit for what? And who's coming?"
Taciana: "Keshin, Carina, Tambovu, and Syeuka."
Jackson: "The opera? Since when are you into the opera thing?"
Taciana: "I used to try singing along to them when I was little."
Jackson: "Tacci, I'm not an opera fan and I'm not going."
Taciana: "I've made sacrifices for you Jacky. You should at least do something for me for once. We're married and that means we need to do things for each other. But if you want to go off and disappear again... then do it."
She turns away from him disappointed with her arms crossed. Jackson then starts to think back and realizes that this is true.
In Jackson Mind: "It's always the guilt trip. But then again she did help change my life for the better. Ahh, but it's the opera and it's so boring. I could never understand the words they say when they open their mouths! Get it together Jackson! It's only for tomorrow night."
Jackson: "Alright... alright... Tacci. I'll go to your opera thing."
He kisses her neck.
Taciana: "Really? You're not just saying that to butter me up?"
Jackson: "No, I'm serious. I want to try some new things with my gorgeous wife."
Taciana: "Thank you, baby."
Jackson and Taciana exchange a quick deep kiss before going back upstairs, resetting their alarm clock, and return to bed.
......At 6:00am......
As morning arrives, Jackson and Taciana wake up and get themselves ready.
Jackson: "Let me leave a note for Sherman since he's in charge while we're out."
Taciana: "Okay, but shouldn't we wake up our youngest first?"
Jackson: "Trust me, babe. Our son knows how to handle this house while we're gone."
Taciana: "Have a great day at work. l'll meet you at Estuary Palace Theatre."
Jackson: "Same to you babe. I'll see ya then."
The pair go off to their respective workplaces.
......At 6:00am in Jackson Junior's room......
Jackson Junior wakes up and notices Felicia laying on top of him and pushes her off.
Felicia: "Ahh! Ow! Why did you push me off?"
Jackson Junior: "Why were you in my bed in the first place?"
Felicia: "I told you that I like you a lot last night and all you do is give me a sleeping bag?"
Jackson Junior: "Don't try and twist this around on me!"
Felicia: "I don't want to fight with you about this. I want you to admit to my face that you have feelings for me Jackson Junior."
Jackson Junior: "I do not have feelings for you."
Felicia: "You let me kiss you last night and never pushed me or held me back. That means you probably enjoyed it."
Jackson Junior: "Stop talking."
In Felicia's Mind: "He's in denial again. Do it now girl. Force JJ to admit the truth!"
Felicia: "Stop lying to me."
Jackson Junior: "Why are you really into me?"
Felicia: "Because... you're the only one who's ever believed in me and you've helped me edit my homework assignments whenever I needed you. And there have been moments between us where they were a bit complicated. And I know I'm not imagining it! Please, please... tell me the truth."
Jackson Junior: "Part of me... might have a thing for you, but not completely. I can't just dump Ruth for you."
Felicia: "Why not?"
Felicia steps closer to JJ's face, attempting to kiss him. Jackson Junior turns his face away and her lips land on his right cheek.
Felicia: "Stop moving away."
She grabs his cheeks and mashed her lips against his aggressively.
Felicia: "Mmmwah, Mmm, Mwah!"
Jackson Junior: "Mmmm, Mwah, Mmmph!"
Jackson Junior separates from his lips from hers.
Jackson Junior: "I can't do this with you. I already have a faithful girlfriend. She's not going to up and leave me... Mmmph..."
Felicia: "Mwah! Shh... just stop talking. Mwah, Mmmm, Mwah!"
As Felicia pins him down against his bed Jackson Junior thinks of a way to escape.
In Jackson Junior's Mind: "Gotta get out of this. Dang it, it might be that time of the year. Wait! I got an idea!"
Jackson Junior: "Uhm... I gotta go take a shower real quick. I smell ripe."
Felicia: "That's fine. I'll join you after you're done. I'm gonna go freshen myself up."
Jackson Junior: "Yeah, not happening."
He hops into the shower and scrubs her scent of his fur with Fresh Tang Body Shampoo.
......Fifteen minutes later......
Jackson Junior: "Phew!"
In Jackson Junior's Mind: "Okay. Lay down the law with this girl! Lay down the law!"
Jackson Junior walks out of his room and to the guest room. He knocks of the door."
Kina: "Hi, JJ."
Jackson Junior: "Hi, is Felicia still in there?"
Kina: "Yes, of course. Javaia? Is Felicia done in there? I need to brush my hair too!"
Javaia: "I just got finished, girlfriend. You can can you use the other guest room's bathroom."
Kina: "Great."
......Three minutes later......
Jackson Junior waits and hears footsteps from the second guest bathroom.
Jackson Junior: "Felicia... I uhm..."
He's shocked to see her in a miniskirt which reveals the tips of her furred shoulders.
Felicia: "See something that you like, JJ?"
She smirks and smiles before grabbing his paw and leads him downstairs.
Felicia: "Can you show me how to make breakfast? I've heard you and Sherman were very self sufficient during school days."
Jackson Junior: "Uhm... yes... sure. Just don't try anything."
Felicia: "Try what?"
Her tail sweeps under his chin and she places her paw on his mid-sized tail.
Felicia: "Such a soft tail..."
Jackson Junior: "Do you want to learn how to cook or not?"
Felicia: "I'm just very comfortable around my my top favorite hero in the Crisis Brood."
She rubs his slightly muscular arm and she places three pecks on the top of his shoulder and then places a kiss on top of his right paw.
Jackson Junior: "What do you think you're doing?"
Felicia: "I am caressing you. Mwah. Please? Let's just share our food in the TV room? Please?"
Jackson Junior: "No I'm eating in here with everyone else, like I always do."
Felicia: "I want you Jackson Junior."
She starts rub her chin all over the back of his neck.
Jackson Junior: "Get off of me so I can finish cooking the scrambled eggs and sausages."
Felicia: "Obviously you don't think I'm attractive. Hmmf."
Jackson Junior: "Felicia, you've been attractive ever since we've met, okay. But that doesn't I'm supposed to come to you just because you say it. Besides being part dhole and part rabbit is an advantage for me because typically both furries pick their mates."
Felicia: "Wild dholes and wild rabbits have different tactics in mating. And frankly, the some females get to choose in the wild animal kingdom society. I'm part gray wolf and part fennec fox. Are you telling me that I'm not good enough to even be near you?"
Jackson Junior: "Can we just table this and talk about this later?"
Felicia: "Fine, but this discussion isn't over, JJ. Hmmf!"
Jackson Junior: "Ugh... can't we just stay friends."
Felicia: "No, and as the commissioner's daughter. I typically get what I want. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but I will have you."
Jackson Junior: "Yeah, sure. Whatever. Do you want some of these eggs?"
Felicia: "I'll take two of them along with some toast."
Jackson Junior: "Alright then."
Suddenly, the sounds of multiple footsteps start to approach from the upper floor of the mansion.
Kina and Javaia walk downstairs and look for something they could do to impress Sherman.
Felicia: "Good morning."
The two are just searching for something to make for themselves and Sherman.
Kina: "Okay so Sherman has a most favorite dish."
Javaia: "Hey, JJ. What's Sherman's most favorite dish in the mornings?"
Jackson Junior: "Homemade style waffles."
He flips the next batch of scrambled eggs for the for himself and his siblings.
Javaia: "Thanks! You grab the batter and I'll stir."
Kina: "No, I'll stir it the batter and make the waffles while you keep Sherman and Aubrey occupied."
Javaia: "Not happening."
Felicia: "I was expecting you both to say, 'Good morning' to me and JJ, but I guess we can't have everything we want. I'll grab the batter so you two can start making what you want and stop bickering."
Kina: "Okay. But I just want Sherman to notice me."
Javaia: "Excuse me?"
Kina: "I mean us, so that way he finds me and Javaia more interesting than little Miss Arctic."
Felicia: "You are lucky that both of them didn't hear that."
Kina: "Ha, besides they are still asleep. It's not like they can hear us."
Although, little did they know that Desmond and Chloe just walked down and partially overheard them."
Desmond: "Morning all! Also, who were you talking about?"
Chloe: "Yeah? Who?"
Kina: "Aww, aren't you two so adorable. I was talking about giving Sherman an easy breakfast as a peace offering for letting us stay under his protection. I can't thank him enough."
Desmond: "Can Chloe,  and I help?"
Chloe: "Yeah!"
Javaia: "Okay, but you two have to follow my lead."
Kina: "You mean my lead."
Javaia: "No, my lead."
Kina: "Mine!"
Javaia: "Mine!"
Kina: "I lead the performances, so it's on my lead, Javaia."
Jackson Junior: "Would you two keep it down?"
Mallory: (yawns) "Good morning all, what's with all the noise?"
Aziza: "Yeah? What gives?"
Zaino: "Ahh, so JJ's making it all this time."
Kina: "Not true. Everyone who's woken up first will all be helping."
Felicia: "That's right. It means I get to help my... I mean... help JJ finish making the eggs."
Jackson Junior: "I already have that handled. Just sit down Felicia."
In Felicia's Mind: "So cute and so authoritative. It's so hot when he grunts disapprovingly. The right time will come and he'll be mine."
......Meanwhile in Angel's bedroom......
Angel: "I pray that Mommy and Daddy made it to work and that Dad will come home much earlier so that we can all be together more often than not. Amen."
Suddenly her holo-phone rings with a text from one of her classmates Kuon Cellaro.
......Text chain......
Kuon: "Good morning."
Angel: "Morning, Kuon."
Kuon: "Did your famous leader wake everyone else at the fortress?"
Angel: "Haha! It's a mansion and secondly my big brother might be protective, but he means well."
Kuon: "How are we supposed to hang out if your brother doesn't trust me around you?"
Angel: "It's not that. It's just that my brother is preparing my sisters, my brothers and I for a big battle that may take a while to end."
Kuon: "Okay, now you're starting to scare me. What do you mean might take a while? It's just one night at the 6D- Laser Tag Zone slash Roller Rink!"
Angel: "Can't you plan it for tomorrow night?"
Kuon: "Alright, I'll tell the others, but I can't do anything else after that, Angel. They really want to meet you."
Angel: "Alright, I'll see you tomorrow night."
Kuon: "See ya then. Bye."
Angel: "Bye."
Kuon sends a smile emoji to her, then Angel texts him back an LOL.
......Text chain ends......
Angel: "I also pray that the main mission can end today."
She says to herself as she brushes her hair, brushes her teeth, and sprays some perfume all over herself.
Angel: "Mmm... lavender. I hope that he'll be more interested with my new scent during lunch time."
She then goes to Sherman's room and knocks.
Angel: "Sherman? Big brother? Are you awake?"
......Scene change to Sherman's bedroom......
Sherman: (groans)
Aubrey: (yawns) "It's Angel again, baby."
Sherman is still trying to sleep, but wakes up after Aubrey rubs his stomach.
Sherman: (groans) "Why are you rubbing my stomach?"
Aubrey: "Because I know how well it works when I wake you up, Sherm-Sherm."
Sherman: "I'm usually more interested when receive a little something."
She rubs Sherman's stomach again, thus prompting him to sit up and rub the sleep out of his eyes.
Sherman: (laughs) "Alright, I'm up..."
Aubrey: "Are you interested now, Mr. Ticklish?"
Sherman: "Yes. So what's going on?"
Aubrey: "You're little sister is outside the door knocking."
Sherman: "Oh... let's just pretend that we're not here. She'll never know."
Aubrey: "Hahah, funny wolf. You can't ignore her. Now get your clothes back on.
Sherman: "You know as a wild wolf, I don't need no clothes."
Aubrey: "Honey, we're furries, not wild ones. We cannot walk around without clothes. Plus, it's against the strict law to walk around in public without clothing on anyways."
Sherman: "I know baby, but come on, we should learn how to slightly bend it too..."
He places an affectionate peck on her neck and then her cheek.
Aubrey: "Hehehehe!"
Sherman: "I know how to calm you down my precious Arctic beauty. Mwah! Such an enchanting arctic hare of the North Pole. Mwah!"
Aubrey: "Heheh! Oh really, Shermie?"
Sherman: "Yeah, you know it, Aubs."
Aubrey: "Keep talking..."
Sherman: "I'll get ya a new surprise."
Aubrey: "What surprise?"
Sherman: "Shh... shh... can't spoil it."
He plants his lips upon hers again as she relents to his advance, even though the door knocks continue from young Angel.
Angel: "Sherman? Aubrey? Can you both open the door now?"
But all she hears is the moans emitting from the right side of the room.
Angel: "Hmm... Ahh!"
She goes to back her room and grabs a small screwdriver and carefully picks the lock and opens the door to Sherman's room."
Angel: "Shermie? Sherman? Sherman are you and Aubrey... "
She looks into the room and sees them having an amorous encounter.
Angel: (clears throat)
Sherman and Aubrey separate and look at Angel with shock on their faces.
Sherman: "Angel?! How did you get in here?!"
Angel: "Lock-picked your door with this screwdriver. Anyways, JJ is making breakfast this time."
Sherman: "Alright. Great, Angel. Just wait outside."
Angel: "Why? What's wrong? Are you two hurt? What... are you two doing?"
Sherman: "No, Aubrey and I are fine. Just look in another direction."
Angel: "What happened to your clothes?"
Sherman: "I said wait outside!"
Angel: (whimpers) "I'm sorry, Sherman. I just wanted check on you since the big mission is happening later this afternoon."
Sherman: (sighs) "Give us a minute and we'll all talk okay."
Angel: "Okay."
She wipes her small tears.
......Six minutes later......
Sherman redresses into new shirt and shorts, while Aubrey puts on her fresh new dress from her backpack.
Sherman: "Next time, we'll sleep at your house."
Aubrey: "Sherm-Sherm, you know my father is not a fan of us being too intimate under his roof."
Sherman: "Your mom likes me, though. Can't she just sway him or something?"
Aubrey: "Heheh, relax Shermie. We'll have plenty of time for romance later."
She nuzzles his muzzle with her own.
Sherman: "Yeah, alright. Let's go eat."
He holds Aubrey's paw and was about to lead her down, but she clears her throat.
Aubrey: "Cutie? What about Angel? Aren't you going to talk to her?"
Sherman: "Babe, she's fine. She's just acting like she needs me again. I know that she doesn't."
Aubrey: "Shermie... you're her big brother. She'll always need you. Please... just go talk to her. Find out what's really going on. And no assumptions, alright?"
Sherman: "Okay, okay. I'll speak with her."
Aubrey: "It will be fine, baby. Mwah! I'll see you downstairs."
Sherman: "Will do."
He sighs and goes to Angel's room and hears her crying.
Sherman: "Angel? Angel?"
Angel: "Are you going to yell at me again?"
Sherman: "No, lil sis. I just want to talk."
Angel: (sniffles) "About what?"
Sherman: "You need to tell me. Is there something on your mind?"
Angel: "It's about this mission. I was going to this party with Kuon."
Sherman: "Whoa, wait a minute? Kuon Cellaro? The same Kuon who you said was picking on you when you were six? He's back?"
Angel: "Well, he and I have been becoming good friends lately and he invited me to a party tomorrow night and..."
Sherman: "What?!?"
Angel: "Shermie, please. He's not a bad guy anymore."
Sherman: "That German Shepherd told the same sob story before and he's still a problem."
Angel: "You're not going to hurt him are you?"
Sherman: "I shattered his leg bone once for pushing you and picking on you, Angel. I did it to protect you. Look I know you want to expand your circle of friends too, but he is not a good influence on you."
Angel: "Okay, fine. I just wanted to go to a party and mingle."
Sherman: "It'll be alright. I've got your back, lil sis. Just like what I taught you when you were just a toddler."
Angel: "Family sticks together?"
Sherman: "That's right. Family sticks together."
Angel: "I'm still sorry for barging in on you and Aubrey like that."
Sherman: "It's okay. You didn't realize."
Angel: "Can you promise not to abandon me?"
Sherman: "Angel, I'm not always gonna be here, but I'll visit as much as possible when I go to college next year. Alright?"
Angel: "Okay."
She suddenly hugs him tight.
Angel: "I love you, big brother."
Sherman: "I love you too, baby sis."
Angel: "Not a baby."
Sherman: "You still are to me. Now come on. You're gonna miss out on breakfast and everyone is already digging in downstairs except us. Come on."
Angel: "Thank you, Sherman."
Sherman: "Anything for my favorite little sister. Don't tell Eliza or Cecelia, though. They won't understand."
Angel: (chuckles) "Okay, deal."
As they went downstairs, he notices that the entire kitchen table has been filled with an array of breakfast choices.
Sherman: "Quite a feast, huh?"
Angel: "I get to grab the toast, grits, and eggs first."
Cecelia: "Angel, don't be so greedy."
Eliza: "Yeah, it's like not you're the only one who's been waiting to eat."
Jackson Junior: "Ahem, I'm the one who made most of the food. So I get to say how the morning goes! And I say dig in!"
Sherman: "Ahem! No! On the contrary, this letter on the fridge here says that I am in charge."
Jackson Junior: "Oh come on. You're always playing the age card, Sherman."
Sherman: "No, I'm not. It says so on right here. Mom and Dad left it for me. Not you. And I say that we all pray before we eat.
Jackson Junior: "Oy... vey."
Mallory: "Don't say that. It's always important to pray."
Zaino: "Exactly."
Aziza: "Why are you so against prayer, JJ?"
Jackson Junior: "Because we're all supposed to be in charge of house. Not just one of us."
Sherman: "Sit down and pray with us, JJ."
Jackson Junior: (sighs) "Fine."
They finish the morning prayer and a start eating breakfast. Then a short while later, they all finish and pack up for the school day.
