Falling for a Furry: A Great Change

Graduation Ceremony

Several hours later, the Grilled Acorn was now nearly empty after the lights went out. Tobias and Jackson are singing on stage after eating too many fruit kabobs.
Abby: "Toby!"
Tobias and Jackson continue singing one of Tokan's songs as Abby tries to get their attention.
Abby: "Are they even listening to me, Tacci?"
Taciana: "I don't know about Tobias, but Jackson is never going to stop singing until he gets it out of his system."
Abby: "Great. How long will it take?"
Taciana: "Just be patient, Abby. They are on the last song by Tokan."
Abby: "Alright, but it better be over with at some point."
...........10 minutes later............
Tobias: "Dude, we could start our own band!"
Jackson: "What? No way."
Tobias: "No Jackson, think about it. The crowds will be cheering and begging for our autographs after every show. We could call ourselves the Furred Phoenix of Rock!"
Jackson: "That would be awesome, but we still need to have a manager sign us up for a contract."
Tobias: "Way ahead of you."
Jackson: "What do you mean?"
Tobias: "After everyone left the restaurant, I set my phone's camera to record our powerful performance."
Jackson: "We do sound good, buddy. Guess we could make it as big stars."
Tobias: "Not mention all the moolah we'd make."
Jackson: "I see your point."
Tobias: "I guess we have a band."
Jackson: "We could add Warrick and Miles into the mix."
Tobias: "More heads are better than two!"
Taciana: "Jacky, it is time to go back!"
Jackson: "Aww come on, just one more song."
Taciana: "The sad eye routine won't work on me this time, bae."
Jackson: "Darn it."
Taciana: "Besides, our graduation is two days away."
Jackson: "Have a little faith, babe. We got this."
Taciana: "I'll show you my super secret clothes for vacation if you are willing practice the speech with me all day tomorrow."
Jackson: "Can we can rest up after that?"
Taciana: "Yes honey, then we can rest afterwards."
Jackson: "Alright."
Abby: "We should get going too, Toby."
Tobias: "Abby, the night is still young."
Abby: "Uhhh What are you doing?"
Tobias: "Giving you the face you enjoy so much."
Abby: "What face?"
Tobias: "My famous superstar face."
Abby: "Hehehehe, okay."
Tobias: "We'll get plenty of rest and prepare for our valedictorian speeches. You happy?"
Abby: "Thank you for saying that. Hehe, for a moment, I thought you were going to complain about this and not take responsibility."
Tobias: "Come on Abby, the food was great, and I rocked the night with my band."
Abby: "Ahem. What else?"
Tobias: "I will maintain a high level of responsibility."
Abby: "Good. This is good practice once we are
in college and then become working adults."
Tobias: "Whoa, whoa, you are already looking into the future?"
Abby: "Yes, of course I am! I mean, we are going to mate eventually."
Tobias: "My sweet squirrel."
Abby: "My handsome chipmunk."
Tobias: "Abs, you know I would do anything for you."
Abby: "I know. I'm driving."
Tobias: "Why can't I drive?"
Abby: "You might pass out from partying too much and I don't want you to crash your car."
She kisses his cheek and drives them back to Tobias' house.
Mrs. Greenwood: "Tobias Greenwood, you were out too late past your curfew! It is 2:00 am in the morning!"
Tobias: "Mom! Graduation day is practically tomorrow! The curfew doesn't even apply anymore."
Mrs. Greenwood: "Don't back sass me, young furry. Now march upstairs now. You're lucky your father is asleep at the moment."
Tobias: "Fine."
Abby: "Hi Mrs. Greenwood, I apologize for Toby being late."
Mrs. Greenwood: "No. It is not your fault, Abby. My son always wanted to be party master when he was little and he's just acting out a lot more than usual. I know you like my son, but promise me that you will make sure he doesn't cause any chaos as a furry in college."
Abby: "I promise, Ma'am."
Mrs Greenwood: "Thank you."
Abby: "I'm going to cheer him up before I go."
She walks upstairs and opens the door to Tobias' room and jumps on the bed.
Tobias: "Not now, Abs."
Abby: "Aww poor baby."
Tobias: "Nothing is going to cheer me up Abby."
Abby: "Not even my blissful eyes?"
Tobias: "Okay, okay. That worked."
Abby: "Hehe, dream of being the manly furry I fantasize about, Toby boo."
Tobias: "Challenge accepted."
She holds his cheeks and plants a kiss before they wish each other a peaceful slumber and she leaves.
..........Two Days Later...........
All the high school graduates Wild Eye High in Glassbec have been itching for graduation and they gather at the school stadium awaiting their diplomas. A large polar bear furry walks up on stage and makes opening announcement for the crowd.
Principal Rendernan: "Attention Wild Eye High School! How are you are you all doing today?"
The students cheer with great enthusiasm for the celebration.
Jackson: "This is going to be great, isn't it Tacci?"
Taciana: "It sure is Jacky! Thank you for keeping your promise."
Jackson: "I told you we would be prepared for this moment and here we are. I still find it amazing that there is more than one valedictorian here."
Taciana: "What can I say? So many worked hard this year!"
Principal Rendernan: "First, I wanted to thank you all for the amazing school year we've had. I'm proud of you all for helping build Flats for Furries and I look forward to helping with the summer fundraiser you are doing to help stop bullying in our hallowed halls. Now, we'll have our valedictorians walk up here and give a speech before we hand out diplomas."
Jackson: "That is our cue, bae. Come on."
The pair walk up to the stage along with the other valedictorians of Wild Eye High, which include all of their friends.
Valedictorians: "Ahem, we are proud to accept this great honor and hope that you and will continue to achieve great things in life while continuing your education as an example for furries around the world. Also, give it up for our instructors, since we'd be lost completely lost without them."
The entire stadium cheers out after the inspirational speech from Jackson and his group of friends. Shortly afterwards they received their diplomas and waited for the whole school to finish up.
.......6 hours later.......
All the high school graduates walk outside to be greeted by their family members to have their pictures taken and say farewells to fellow students who they may or may not see again before heading home.
Jackson: "Well Tacci, I have to admit that it has been an interesting school year."
Taciana: "Babe, you've only been here for 6 months and you still became a top scholar. That is what I call a miracle through hard work."
Tawny: "Yeah! We did it!!!"
Serena: "Oh yes! I can't wait for our Rabeau family vacation!"
Jackson: "That is awesome. I'm so glad your parents invited me. But when is the trip?"
Taciana: "We are flying their tomorrow via our family jet."
Jackson: "You all go on a private jet?"
Taciana: "Oh yes, Jacky. Public planes are much too slow."
Warrick: "Yeah and with our jet we'll make it there in under 10 hours."
Renet: "Will there be any spas over there, War?"
Warrick: "Yes, this time there will be a spa for you to relax in while Jackson and I go hang gliding."
Ramona: "Can we invite Martin on the trip?"
Martin: "Um, actually Mona, my parents want me to stay and enhance my scientific skills."
Ramona: "What?"
Martin: "I know, but I really just want to rest my head for awhile."
Ramona: "Then come with me, Marty. I need my strong coyote furry. Otherwise, I will feel so lonely and bored."
Martin: "You are really cute when you try the guilt trip thing, but okay I will go for you."
Ramona: "Yay! We are going to so much fun!"
She brings him to both sets of their parents to ask their permission for Martin to accompany her and they all agree to let him tag along.
Taciana: "So which island are we going to this time?"
Saba: "Oh don't worry about that too much, dear. Your father is keeping that as a surprise when you wake up after the long flight."
Taciana: "I won't fall asleep during the flight this time, Momma."
Saba: "You have said that for the last three years and you still did it anyway, sweetie."
Taciana: "Well, not this time. I swear that I will catch sight of the island before Dad can say its name."
Jackson: "Chill, my lovely rabbit, I will keep a lookout for the island in case you do fall asleep."
Taciana: "Hehehe, thank you, Jackson, I knew I count on you."
Jackson: "I will always be there for you, scouts honor."
Taciana: "You were a Boy Scout during your time as a human?"
Jackson: "Of course, but I will tell you more about that once we reach our vacation island."
Taciana: "Okay, deal. This is going to be fun, love!"
Jackson: "Save the excitement for later, my dazzling queen."
Taciana: "I like that name, my adorable dhole."
Jackson: "This will be a trip we shall never forget."
Warrick: "Got that right, bro man."
