Furries

Raistlin smiled and waved at the kids as they tapped on the glass, then followed Jezzabell as she chased a fish. He stared at the reefs for a while and swam around them, admiring their beauty and diversity. A school of fish swam about an inch in front of his nose and he chuckled, then glanced over at Jezzabell. He smiled at her happily as she swam by him and he followed her closely.

i have nothing to say

(Jess's turn then)

Jezabell contuined to swim about she found one of the dolphins happily swimming near and around her and she smiled then gently reached out and touched it she giggled when it rubbed it's nose against her hand and she then gently climbed onto the dolphins back and giggled as it took off swimming with her swimming around the boat then tossing her in the air in a quick flash of swimming instincts she position her body into a dive then went back into the water happily.

Raistlin smiled and lauged, bubbles floating up around his face and streaming to the surface where they sparkled against the surface of the water. He looked around at the fish swimming around him as they encircled him, then burst out in every direction when he turned his head too suddenly; a living firework flaming out from his body in the form of multicolored fish. He smiled and stared in awe at the diversity around him.

Jezabell smiled as she hit the water then swam around gentle touching one of the fish then giggling as it quickly sawm away. Jezabell laughed then swam just a little more before finally come back to the boat and then slipping out of her weat suit and handing it off to Mili "have fun!"

Raistlin finally climbed out of the water and handed off his swimsuit, still smiling. He sat down on the floor of the boat and looked through the glass floor, watching the fish, then turned and looked at Jezzabell. He sighed and looked back down through the glass, losing himself in thought and not really paying attention to his surroundings.

The boat rocked as Raistlin and Jezabell came back. Erebus was waiting on the speed boat, both Aric and Milly clinging to his legs, begging to go next. The bat sighed and looked to Loren to ask permission to go next. The lynx smiled and waved him off. Elaine and Iris nodded their heads in agreement. They'd let the kids go before them. The kids jumped with glee off their uncle's legs and started skipping around the boat.

Erebus saw Raistlin and Jezabell and took the suits they handed him. He put one on himself and then went to get two smaller ones for the kids. He took time to suit up the kids and soon the kids were clinging to his arms, scared but excited at the same time. Erebus left Loren in charge of the ship and he and the kids went under.

The kids at first went into a daze but soon started squirming and swimming around to look at the sight around them. Erebus followed closely behind them, making sure they didn't stray far or got into trouble. Milly and Aric swam up to the bottom of the boat and waved to the occupants above them.

Up above the dolphins came closer to the boat and started squirting the occupants with water from their mouths, chirping in their unique language at them.

Jezabell giggled when she was squirted with water she smiled and watched the others then looked down at the looking glass and watched as the kids went swimming about she smiled watching each one as they giggled and smiled and played happily.

The kids swam closer to some coral reefs and started looking at the sea life that lived there. Erebus stayed close to them but looked around. A school of fish swam by and literally swam right through Milly and Aric, the kids giggled through their air masks and laughed. Erebus suddenly felt something.

He sent out a soundwave and it bounced back to him. It was a dolphin. Three dolphins swam towards them and swam in circles around the three underwater. The kids suddenly grabbed the dolphins' dorsal fins and they where whisked off as the dolphins swam away like jet torpedos. Erebus had grabbed the last dolphin and he was caught along for the ride.

Suddenly a huge shape passed them. The kids squeaked at first but then you could hear them awwing. It was a whale shark. The huge beast swam past them, its mouth wide open for plankton. It swam towards the speed boat and started swimming slowly around it.

(Aaron post on this also thought it was your favorite )

raistlin lauged as the dolphin squirted at him with water and he put his hands up to shield himself. He gasped as the whale passed under the boat and began to circle it slowly. The sea was an amazing place. He glanced over at Jezzabell who seemed to be having just as much fun as he was. For a moment, he started wondering to himself. Why was she so controdictory? She acted like she liked him, but then tried her hardest to keep him away. And even after he said that he liked her, she said she wanted things the way they were, just friends... what was she afraid of... he sighed.

Jezabell was smiling and laughing she watched the whale shark then suddenly grinned ran off the edge of the boat and jumped on top of it she laughed and held onto his fin smiling and gently running her fingers along his top she watched and right before he went under she jumped back to the boat wincing when she flopped onto the boat then rolling on her back a red mark across her arm she laughed to herself before looking up at the others "Well hello there"

Raistlin laughed as she rode the whale. She seemed so free spirited and spastic. He gasped as she flopped into the boat with the mark on her arm. He lept up and moved over to her, kneeling and picking up her arm gently. "Be a little more careful okay? What happened, how'd you get hurt?" A look of genuine worry graced his face as he examined her arm, trying to figure out if she was alright. "Does it hurt? Do you need a bandage?" He looked at her, waiting for a response.

Milly, Aric, and Erebus had released the dolphin fins and were now watching in awe as the whale shark glided past. Aric went up and was almost swallowed up by it if Erebus didn't pull him out of the way. Then Erebus grabbed the whale shark's fin and grabbed Milly along with him. Aric and Milly clung to Erebus' right arm while his left held the fin of the whale shark.

After a while they surfaced and got back onto the boat. The kids, well Aric at least, was imitating the whale shark, puffing himself up and waddling across the boat while Milly tried to make dolphin noises, resulting in the dolphins coming to squirt them again and then skirting away from the boat.

Erebus took off his wet suit and handed it to Loren who put it on. Elaine and Iris went to get wet suits that fit them as Milly and Aric took off theirs. Erebus shook out his hair as he sat down at the wheel. The kids went over to Raistlin and Jezabell to see what was wrong. Erebus, seeing the small crowd went over to inspect as Loren took Iris and Elaine down.

Erebus knelt by Jezabell, lifting her arm gently and massaging it. "Looks like the whale shark's rough skin scratched you.", he said as he went into a first aid box and came back with gauze and some cream. He stopped before he was about to apply it and turned to Raistlin with a small smirk. He handed the cream and gauze to the fox anthro. "You can do the honors. Milly, Aric, let's give them some space.", the bat told the kids. The kids bound away to the floor window and waved to the three divers beneath them.

Loren was taking the two ladies to see the coral reefs. Iris had brought along a water proof camera and was snapping away. Elaine reached out a gentle hand and stroked the coral.

Raistlin blushed as he was handed the medical kit. "Umm... alright" He set the kit down and opened it, pulling out a few things and looking through it. he soon found what he was looking for, gauze wrap and clips to keep it on. He took the bandage and wrapped it around the red spot on her arm, not too tight, but not too loose either. Once it was wrapped adequately, he pinned it up neatly with the special clips. "There, that should do. It's not to tight is it?" he looked up at her.

Jezabell was watching Rasitlin as he wrapped her arm his ahnds were gentle and he didn't purposely tie it tight like her step-father she looked at him a moment then smiled. "Thank you it feels great" She smiled at him then sat back and watched the ocean now allowing herself to get wrapped up in thought.

He smiled at her. "Good" For a while, he just sat and watched her, thinking to himself, then he turned and stared off in the same direction as her. The ocean was beautiful and it was easy to lose himself in his thoughts and he soon forgot the rocking of the boat, focusing on the sparkling waves of the ocean. He took in a deep breath of the ocean air and let it out, smiling slightly, then slowly slipped back to reality and turned, taking the extra gauze wrap and putting it in the medical box, closing it and putting it away, then sitting down where he had just been once more.

Erebus sat silently at the hem and watched the exchange between Jezabell and Raistlin. He scowled at the youngsters lack of expression with their emotions. Any one could tell they had a connection and an attraction, even a blind man could see, and that was Erebus, a partially blind bat who could spot troubled youngsters from a mile away. He sighed and shook his head, his wet hair plastered to his face.

Milly and Aric were looking over the boat to see the dolphins again. Erebus went out a sound wave, hoping the dolphins would reply. They did and a few seconds later 5 dolphins surrounded the boat and started spewing water at the occupants again, well Erebus managed to remain out of range. Milly and Aric squealed with happiness. Then Aric picked up a ball and threw it at the dolphin. Amazingly the dolphin caught it on its snout and sent it back, making the ball hand in Jezabell's hands. The dolphin clicked in its language at her, flapping its flippers while backing away. It wanted to play.

The more Jezabell stalled, the more water the dolphin squirted at her.


Underneath all this Loren, Elaine, and Iris were doing some underwater studying of their own as they took pictures and looked at the wildlife in the corals. A sea turtle swam close and Elaine managed to run her hand over the turtle's soft shell as it swam by. A school of tuna swam through them, engulfing the 3 in a whirlpool of fish.

Jezabell laid back now and stared at the clouds she glanced of at raistlin a moment thinking to herself she was going to reach out and tell him something but quickly stopped herself instead she stood and walked to the edge of the boat then looked at the water staring into it.

Raistlin glanced over at Jezabell and watched her walk to the edge of the boat, then returned to staring out over the waves. He sighed to himself slightly and tossed the ball she had left behind back to the dolphins, smiling slightly as they played with it. He stood and walked over beside Jezabell, standing there silently for a while. "Something on your mind?" he said to her, glancing over again. He watched her, wondering what she was thinking about when she was off in her own world like that.

Jezabell had jumped slightly when Raistlin suddenly spoke she laughed at herself then looked to him. "yes I've been thinking.." she paused and stared at him..and the next thing that happened wasn't supposed to happen she didn't know what she was doing ti'll she did it.

Jezabell had reached out pulled Raistlin to her and kissed him she held the kiss for a long moment hugging him close to her then suddenly pulled away blushing a deep red and looking away nibbling her lower lip nervously.

Raistlin's eyes widened as she suddenly pulled him into a kiss. For a split second he was too surprised to react, then finally, he gave into the kiss and kissed her back, putting his arms around her and pulling her to him. She pulled away and he remained standing there, blushing bright red and looking at her for a while, he looked down suddenly, trying to formulate words, but he couldn't seem to. He stood there silently for a moment, staring at the ground and thinking.

A gruff "ahem" cough sounded over the boat. Erebus cast a disapproving eye to Raistlin and Jezabell. He stood up and scooped Milly and Aric into his arms, taking them away from the two idiots. "I would appreciate it if you two would think before you act. It's not just the two of you on this boat mind you.", he said as he put the kids into the cabin and let them play games there. He came up into the deck and went to sit at the wheel again, giving the two youngsters another glaring look through his shades.

Loren, Elaine, and Iris popped out from the water and heaved themselves onto the boat. They saw the silence and scene and froze. "...Did something happen?", Elaine ventured to ask the three still visible on the boat. Erebus turned to her and shook his head. "Nothing you should concern yourself with. Now get on. We're headed back for more activities.", the bat told the three as they hopped back on.

Jezabell's face was a bright red she nibbled her lower lip thinking to herself again her lip began to bleed and she was completely unaware she sat down still nibbling her bleeding lip blushing and thinking. She finally sighed and lightly shook her head unaware she was now thinking aloud something she often did when she was worried. "I can't believe i just kissed him what a fool I am! I was gonna tell him about ym feelings but no i went and screwed it up as I often did I was gonna tell him the reason I usually didn;t date was because of the guy's in my life but no i just kissed him what a screw up i am!"
