Falling for a Furry: A Great Change

Dance Practice

Jackson and Taciana walk through the mansion's front door holding paws, only to notice Bolton and Saba having a toast at the kitchen table.
Bolton: "You know dear, I think we should take the week off from the company and have a little "us" time."
Saba: "Hehehe, cheers. Hey kids, how was school?"
Jackson: "It went better than expected, Mrs. Rabeau."
Saba: "Why is that, Jackson?"
Jackson: "I was asked out by tons of furry girls."
Taciana: "Ahem!"
Jackson: "However, I declined because I already have my dream girl right here."
Taciana: "This primo furry thought it would be better to ask me to the prom at the lunchroom in front of everyone!"
Jackson: "You were so red."
Taciana: "Needless to say, I was very impressed."
.....10 minutes later......
Ramona, Tawny, Serena, come in tout suite and get their prom clothes ready for tomorrow.
Ramona: "This color is so me. Hopefully Martin will ask me to dance with him before I ask him. Sigh. Get it together, girl, he is your new knight in shining armor and you will have a good time."
Serena: "Oh my gosh, calm down sister."
Ramona: "How can I be calm? I don't even know if he likes me or not."
Serena: "Mona, relax, I'm sure Martin does."
Ramona: "How do you know?"
Serena: "I sat behind him a few times in class and I believe I overheard him say that you have an exceptional mind."
Ramona: "He really said that?"
Serena: "Yup."
Tawny: "You shouldn't even be worrying, Ramona. We are the ones who are going stag along with everyone else."
Ramona: "Thanks. I didn't think you two would support me in this matter."
Serena: "Please sis, we all know how important tomorrow is to you."
........15 minutes later.......
Jackson: "So, you are a highly proficient dancer of the Samba?"
Taciana: "Darling, the two of us will have this routine down easily."
Jackson: "Uhm, I've changed my mind. Let us try something else."
Taciana: "Don't be nervous, my bae. We are going to ace La Samba tonight!"
Jackson: "Okay honey, I believe you."
Jackson turns on his music speaker and makes a special request for the practice run.
Jackson: "Orvune, play Baila al Ritmo for us."
Speaker: "Playing Baila al Ritmo."
Taciana: "Do you know that means, bae?"
Jackson: "No, what does it mean?"
Taciana: "Hehehe, it means dance to the beat."
Jackson: "You can speak Spanish too?"
Taciana: "Si, seguro que puedo." (Yes, I sure can.)
Jackson: "Truly impressive."
Taciana: "You bet."
........Several hours later........
Taciana: "Will you catch me in the air after our dance is complete?"
Jackson: "No worries, my delicate rose, I'd be ready for you anytime."
After giving her his promise she smiles and backs up to run at him at 37 miles per hour.
Jackson: "I gotcha, Tacci."
Taciana: "Yeah! You really caught me."
Jackson: "Told you."
He sets her down as she embraces his neck and stares into his eyes.
Taciana: "Hmm, I guess that is enough practice for tonight."
Jackson: "Remember that other promise you made me keep?"
Taciana: "The one which involved you singing to me?"
Jackson: "Yup."
Taciana: "I never forgot that, honey."
Jackson: "Okay, fasten your seatbelt."
Jackson starts singing to her using his tenor voice.
........Jackson's Song.........
"Many years, I searched for a calling,
This is all for you and me,
In all of that time alone,
I knew something was bound to happen,
Now I see that you were meant to be for me,
Staring right at me with great curiosity,
Right then and there I knew well,
That you were meant for me,
Under the brightness of the moon,
You defended me like I belong here,
I can't express how grateful I am,
You have the courage of many,
Haters try to stop my progress,
Don't ever give up on anything,
We stand stronger if united as one,
We chase the solution for peace,
Standing in another's shoes,
Yet we belong eternally
In a land changed for the better,
When will we be seen as one?"
.........End of Jackson's Song.........
Taciana: "Oh Jacky, that was beautiful. What is the name of the song?"
Jackson: "I call it A Sense of Belonging."
Taciana: "Inspiring."
Bolton and Saba stood outside of Jackson's room tapping their feet.
Jackson: "Oh, hey Mr. and Mrs. Rabeau!"
Taciana: "Hi Daddy."
Bolton: "It is very late and you two should be asleep already!"
Saba: "Hun, we talked about being gentle with them before, remember?"
Bolton: "Alright! Alright! Could you two turn off the music and go to sleep, please?"
Jackson: "Not a problem, sir. We were feeling pretty tired anyways. Right, babe?"
Taciana: "Absolutely."
Bolton: "Okay then, goodnight."
Taciana's parents leave the room.
Saba: "You need to be a little gentle when dealing with Taciana and Jackson. I trust Jackson to treat our daughter with respect and make her happy."
Bolton: "Saba, this is our eldest daughter we are talking out."
Saba: "I think he is good for her, Bolton."
Bolton: "She said the same thing about that Chuvo Ramos she was with a while back."
Saba: "Bolton, she wanted to break up with him because you said you hated how he drinks beer and wine every day. It would be nice if you actually accepted Jackson as part of this family."
Bolton: "Fine, I will accept him as my future son-in-law."
Saba: "I want you to tell him that."
Bolton reopens the door to Jackson's room and tells him that he would be more than glad to have him as his son-in-law.
Jackson: "I won't let you down, sir. I mean Dad."
Bolton: "Marry my daughter first and then you can call me that."
Taciana: "He will get used to you, bae. You just need to schedule some macho bonding time."
Jackson: "You mean like going on a guy's trip."
Taciana: "Yes, exactly."
Jackson: "I am willing to give it a shot if he is."
Taciana: "I will convince him one day.
Jackson: "If you say so, sugar bunny."
