Fifi and the Fox
By misterebony
For Alex Reynard
ACME loonaversity was not your typical school. It was a laugh a minute location, where furries, humans, and other creatures went in order to learn. It was a crazy place, with some of the greatest cartoon stars as its professors. And it was Alex's new school.
Alex was new in the area, and was excited and nervous at the same time. He was a handsome young fox boy with bright red and white fur, mostly covered with his blue and yellow Hawaiian shirt and a pair of khaki shorts. He had an angular face with bright she's that stared at the other students as he walked through the halls. They included a mean rich kid, a little pink bird, a couple of bunnies, and a sk...sk...
Alex suddenly found himself staring at a vision amongst several fleeing students holding their noses. It was a purple skunk fur, with soft beautiful features and a big bushy tail. She also had a definitive odor, the reason so many ran. Alex, however, was not one of them. He saw the pretty purple skunk and little red hearts appeared in his eyes. His tounge slipped out and he stared. It was love at first sight.
"But," he thought to himself,"how do I get her to notice me? After all Iam the new kid and I am just a fox... or am I?"
Looking around, he smiled whn he saw a room marked 'costumes'. Right away he began to hatch a careful plan. If it worked, he would get skunk cuddles!
*************
Fifi la Fume was lonely. Like all skunks, this was bad since she hungered for love. A handsome skunk hunk to sweep her of her feet and snuggle and kiss her like no tomorrow. Then there were her... other desires. Oh when would love find her?!This was her thought as she went to her locker. But when she opened it, she got a surprise.
For inside the locker was a small heart shaped box, and with it a beautiful silk carnation. A note was on the box. Fifi opened it and read this:
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Hope this candy is sweet...
Cause it is all for you.
A.
Fifi opened the box and was dumbstruck at the sight of a selection of rich chocolate creams. Her heart fluttered in delight.
"Oh la la! What romantic rascal sent me this lovely present?" She took a candy and ate it, moaning in delight. "Raspberry cream! My favorite!" She held the box to her heart and smiled, swooning a littleat the thought of a secret admirer. She went through the rest of the day writing out every A name in the loonaversity. She had no idea the sender had seen her reaction.
Alex smiled at the result of his gift. So far he had no luck finding a skunk costume but He would keep lookng. For now he decided to wait and keep sending gifts.
***************
Fifi was daydreaming a few days later. She had gotten some perfume, cookies, a Nice soft fur scarf, and lots of candy. All were presents.from the mysterious A she still could not find. Who was... wait.
"Why of course!" Fifi shouted. "A must be my skunk hunk dreamboat! Oh I have to meet him!" Immediately, she called the Loony chronicle. "Yes, I want to place le personal ad lease. Ah wonderful! Here is what it needs to say..."
As she told the editor for the paper, her bushy tail twitched and her now perfumed form shivered. She could not wait for a handsome skunk to snuggle and kiss and..... ooooooooooooooo....
************
Alex was in a cold, nervous sweat as he read the paper. He saw the ad and knew his tike was up. It read like this:
Fifi la Fume seeks mysterious A for nighttime date. Meet me by the oak clearing. Bring your snuggles and be ready to cuddle!"
Alex knew it was now or never. It had taken some searching but he had found rhe costume he needed. He put it on and zipped it up. Looking in the mirror to see if he could see the zipper. He could not. In fact, the costume was so well fitting that he realley looked like he had tuned into a skunk. He knew it was now or never. He sighed, grabbed some silk roses, and headed to meet the girl he longed for.
It was a long walk to the clearing, passing a lake on the way. He looked himself over again. He looked like a well toned but slightly pudgy blue skunk with a big blue and white striped tail.Alex smiled as he noticed that not a single feature of his foxy form showed. To the world and hopefully to fifi he looked like a skunk. Taking a deep breath, he went to meet her.
Meanwhile, Fifi waited on a fallen log she was using for a seat for her secret admirer. The thought of meeting a handsome skunk who loved her made her nervous. Would she live up to the expectations? She surely hoped so.
And then, over the hill HE came. It had to be this handsome blue skunk she was now seeing, a big grin on his face and flowers in hand. She straightened up how she looked, checked for anything out of place, and CHARGED!
"Oh a handsome skunk hunk to cuddle! Come 'ere you!" She shouted as she rushed him. The disguised fox opened his arms to take the tackle,and was rewarded with a ton of sweet, skunky cuddles.
"Oh my, you are so soft and handsome." She said as she nuzzled. "Are you truly my admirer?
Alex nodded. "Name's Alex dear. And I hope I am the man of your dreams."
Fifi oooed and kissed Alex on his lips. But that was when things began to fall apart. For right after the kiss...
"Strange." The skunk girl said in puzzlement. " your lips... they feel like the rest of you and taste like... cotton..."
Alex gulped and tried to distract her with another snuggle, but that was a big mistake. As he cuddled, the head part of the costume began to slip off. In his haste, Alex never fully attached it. So when he saw things go dark, he knew the mask was slipping.
Something confirmed as Fifi snuggled up his chest to his neck, and off the head of the costume came with a pop. Alex was wide eyed as Fifi looked in shock.
"Sacre bleu!" She managed to get out, wide eyed and angry. "What is the meaning of this, some kind of cruel joke?!"
Alex gulped and sighed. "No. Just a desperate fox. See... I liked you from first sight. But, being a fox, I was afraid you would not like me. So the past few weeks I sent notes and presents, wanting to please you. And tonight... I just wish I was the skunk hunk you dreamed of. But I am not. I suppose you hate me now."
Fifi slapped him... and then hugged him close?! "How dare you assume how I feel! Ill have you know... that I happen to like foxes."
Alex was wide eyed and hurt cheeked. But she continued.
"You were so sweet! Giving me all the things I love and even trying to be a skunk. How can I resist such a man? So come here." She held him tight and, with love in her eyes, kissed his foxy lips. Alex's ears steamed and hearts appeared in his eyes. He blubbered a little as the kiss finished. With a happy sigh, he was so overwhelmed with warm gushy love that his heart melted.
Actually... all of him melted. All that could be seen in the resulting puddle was a goofy swooning smily face. Fifi gasped and then chuckled!
"Oh dear. Are you supposed to do that? Well no matter. Wait until we.... play." He giggle as she wiped him up, putting his liquidy form in a beeker. As she started for home, she knew this was the start of a wonderful relationship.
She had no idea how wonderful.
THE END.
