The quiet of the morning was disturbed by an incessant buzzing a clock which was soon smothered by a pillow. A few seconds later he awoke to the darkness of the early winter morning.
	With out as much as a yawn he got up, and went to turn on the lights while nearly tripping on various cords and a plastic box which was broken from a previous fall. After turning on the lights the young turned to face the tank that sat upon the desk next to his TV.
	In the tank there were two tiny blind mice. (Commonly called fuzzies at this stage in life.) They were trying to crawl towards a non-existing being, but their paws sank into the expansive desert of ground walnut. Soon something shifted through the sand, towards one of the fuzzies.
	The thing sniffed at the fuzzy, and then coiled it’s self around it; constricting. The mouse squirmed, and tried to wiggle its way free, but soon spasmed as it suffocated.
	With a slight grin on his face from watching his pet snake eat the mice he gave it last night he began to walk towards his closet. In a fairly short time the young man got dressed, and had gone to get a slice of bread to eat. He wore on himself a simple orange t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans.
	After a little bit the young man’s mother came up. “Kurt You up?” she asked walking towards the kitchen.
	Kurt nodded. “Yeah. I’m up.” he said getting up and walking to his room to get his backpack for school. After getting his back pack Kurt went downstairs towards the car his mother was sitting in waiting for him to come.
	“You ready?” Kurt’s mom asked looking at him. She was a tall woman standing at about six feet one inch tall, and wore clothing similar to her son’s except she wore a pair of shorts instead of blue jeans, and like her son she had dark brown hair.
	Kurt looked at his mother after putting his backpack in the back seat, and then got in the front seat. “Yes.” he said after putting on his seat belt, and turning on the radio which was at a classic rock station. 
	“Ok.” Kurt’s mother said as she began to pull out of the drive way. After a bit she stopped at a gas station, and walked in to get a cup of coffee for her self and for Kurt.
	Inside the gas station was a middle aged wolf with snow white fur working on the coffee makers. He wore a green apron that the company owning the gas station made its employees wear over their regular clothing. With a quick turn he faced Kurt and his mother, and gave them a quick wave before speaking.
	“Hi” the wolf said to Kurt; which got a wave out of the young man. He then started walking towards Kurt’s mother and hugged her before speaking again.
	“Hi Ashley.” The wolf said looking at her with his soft pink eyes before giving her a lick on the cheek. “Sorry for not being in bed this morning, but I was needed to work this morning.” He said looking down.
	“It’s alright Neil.” Ashley said giving the albino wolf a kiss on the muzzle. “The only hard part is not seeing you in bed.” she said as she broke the embrace to make the coffee.
	By the time Ashley finished the second sixteen ounce cup of coffee, Kurt was waiting for her at the cash register with a bottle of soda. “Almost done mom?” He asked looking at her.
	Neil wagged his tail as he rung up the two cups of coffee. “Last day of the semester right?” He asked looking at Kurt which got a simple “Yes.” out of him. The items totaled up to some amount over two dollars including a secret discount Neil had given Ashley. “Ok, I should be home in a few hours.” The wolf said looking at the two as they walked away.
	A few minutes and one finished cup of coffee, Kurt was dropped off at his school. He hummed a bit as he walked towards his first class of the day.
	As he entered his class he was greeted by his teacher. “Morning Kurt.” said the man, he was a middle aged human with parts of his hair turning gray. “Ready for your Algebra final?” he asked with a grin.
	“Yes Mr. Wotan” Kurt said as he sat at his seat, and pulled out a book to read. the book was an erotic novel made for the furred kind commonly called 'Furries' or just simply "furr", but many preferred to them by their individual species when talking to just one specifically. Kurt had read this book a few times, and was caught with it by his mom, but she paid no mind thinking he was old enough for it at the age of seventeen.
	After a read into about a chapter of the book, Kurt looked towards the door of the class as it opened, and grinned as he saw who entered the room. He put his book away and simply watched the female walk towards him.
	She was a young jackal around Kurt’s age give or take a few months. Her fur was a soft gray in color with a few specks of brown around her abdomen and on her chest, and her tail had a black stripe along the side of it. The jackal set her backpack on the ground next to Kurt’s, and sat next to him before grabbing his hand softly. “Hi Kurt.” She said smiling as she looked at him.
	“Hi Jess.” He said looking at her before grabbing her hand, and began to massage it softly with his fingers. “How are you this morning?” Kurt asked looking into Jessica’s yellow eyes.
	Jessica wagged her tail as her hand was massaged. “Its been good.” she said looking at Kurt. “My birthday is in a few days.” she said licking her lips lightly as she leaned a bit closer to Kurt.
	Kurt nodded. “I know, and I will be there.” he said smiling, and then leaned towards Jessica to kiss her.
	The kiss lasted only a few seconds before the sound of a binder slamming onto the table right behind them caused them to meep in shock, “Morning Kurt.” Said the gray furred wolf laughing a little at what he did.
	“Jack!” Kurt said glaring at the wolf.. “Leave us be!” he said now quite annoyed at the wolf. With a sigh Kurt looked back at Jessica.
	Jack muttered something under his breath as he walked a table or two from Kurt.
	“Jack is so annoying, and what makes it worse is he is my cousin.” Kurt said laying his head on the table. “It’s alright.” Jessica said patting Kurt’s back. “At least you and I will be together this Friday.” she said smiling softly.
	Kurt nodded, and gave Jessica a quick hug before the bell rang. Soon after class began and the final was passed out, Kurt worked on it right after getting it.
	After about two hours class ended causing everyone to get up, and exit after giving their test to Mr. Wotan. Kurt and Jessica went their separate ways to their classes for their next final. As soon as the bell rang again at the end of his second class Kurt ran to where he knew his girlfriend would be.
	Jessica waited in the band locker room for Kurt to come. As she waited she opened her backpack, and pulled out two small boxes and a small packet of powder. She felt like being mischievous, and opened one of the boxes revealing a simple bowl of rice, some crab meat (no butter sauce sadly), and a small breadstick. Jessica began to pour the packet’s contents onto the rice being careful to pour only a tiny amount of it.
	The sound of the door handle turning caused Jessica to meep, and accidentally pour too much of the powder, in fact she poured all of it. Kurt opened the door, and smiled as he saw the food Jessica had made. “This looks good.” he said sitting next to her, and grabbed the open box of food which he started to eat from.
	She nodded, and began eating. “Thanks.” Jessica said smiling. “If a little bit of that would put one into an illusion of being a different species. What would the all of it do?” she thought to her self as she ate.
	Kurt smiled at Jessica as he finished his rice and crab. “That was good.” he said as he are the breadstick , and reached over to hug Jessica. “Our semester is almost over.” Kurt said kissing her softly.
	“Mhmm, and we will have fun.” Jessica said kissing back. “Especially on my birthday.” She said hugging Kurt.
	Soon the young couple’s last class of the day began. They both walked into the band room. Jessica had her flute in hand, and waited to take her final. Kurt had already taken his final two days earlier, and sat next Jessica. “You’re going to do great.” he said smiling.
	“I know.” she said smiling. Jessica soon started to play her final.
	After school ended Kurt was picked up by his mother. “How was school?” she asked once Kurt was in the car, and began driving.
	“It was ok.” Kurt said as he got his seat belt on. “How’s home?” he asked looking at Ashley.
	Ashley’s eyes never strayed from the road as she drove. “Home is good. Got some cleaning done.” she said as she stopped at a red light. “Lilia is sick, so she stayed home.”
	Kurt nodded as he understood that his little sister had the day off. “I see.” he said as he opened the bottle of soda he got that morning, and drank it.
	After a bit they made it home; Neil was in the kitchen working on a simple meal for everyone. Lilia was sitting in the living room watching cartoons while laying down with her tail covering her body.
	Kurt and his mother walked into the house, and pared ways a bit. Ashley went to the kitchen to help Neil, and to slightly pester him.  Kurt walked over to the couch and sat next to his sister, and petted her softly; which got a soft murr from the young fox.
	“I heard you’re sick.” he said looking at his younger sister, and continued petted her.
	Lilia nodded ad she coughed into the blue of her arm. “Yeah.” she said in an obviously strained voice.
	After a couple minutes Kurt and his family began to eat dinner: a simple Italian dish involving shrimp that Neil couldn’t pronounce the name of despite his heritage.
	“it was good.” Kurt said finishing his food. He leaned back into his seat, and saw that Lilia was eating her food slowly; probably because of her sore throat.
	When everyone finished their dinner Kurt got up to walk towards his bed room to relax, and after a bit he went to bed.
	Over the course of two days Kurt’s body had undergone an interesting transformation. On the first day he awoke to pain in his lower back, and fell out of bed as he tried to get up. With a groan Kurt was able to get himself up enough to sit up, and begin to wake up.
	He yawned as he began to rub his eyes, and then stopped a she felt something furry. Kurt blinked as he saw his form arms and hands were covered in grayish brown fur. He tried to getup to run to a mirror, but fell over again, and with a quick turn of his head he saw why he couldn’t get up.
	Sticking out of the base of his spine was a long fur covered tail swaying back and forth from the momentum of his fall. “What is going on?” Kurt asked quietly so he wouldn’t wake anyone.
	After a couple minutes of slow crawling Kurt was able to get to the bathe room. By using the counter as leverage he was able to stand up. He looked at the mirror with a confused look on his face.
	His arms were completely covered in brown fur, and with a quick downwards glance he saw his legs were covered with fur as well. Kurt’s finger nails and toe nails had grown slightly and were sharpened into claws. His ears had moved a bit, and now sat on the top of his head and were now canine shaped.
	“What’s going on?” Kurt asked again as he looked himself over a few times, but stopped as he hear someone walk around.
	Lilia walked from her bedroom tiredly seeing as she occasionally stumbled on the carpet. She walked into the kitchen and poured a bowl of cereal, and ate it with out milk.
	By this time Kyle had gotten dressed, and out a hat on his head to hide his ears. After he finished getting dressed he walked slowly to where Lilia was. “Morning.” Kurt said looking at his sister.
	The young fox sniffed a bit causing a light sniffling sounds from her muzzle.. “Kurt?” she asked looking at him. “You smell funny.” Lilia said looking at Kurt.
	“I do?” Kurt asked sniffing himself, and noticed he smelled slightly of Jessica. “Uhm, I have something to show you. You can’t tell mom or dad.” he said as he took off the hat and rolled up his sleeves.
	Lilia tilted her head, and then blinked. “What happened to you?” she asked as she grabbed at her brother’s arm with her blue furred hands.
	“I don’t know.” Kurt said looking down. “Mom and dad can’t know.”
	Over the course of the day Kurt was able to keep his mother out of the loop about his secret, but Not so much with his father. Neil quickly learned of it when he talked to Kurt, and brought up a scent he smelled.
	The next day Kurt’s secret would be revealed regardless if anything. He awoke on the floor wit his blanket wrapped around his legs. With a groan Kurt got off the ground and walked to the bathroom. “What the?!” he yelled loud enough to roust anyone with in the house from slumber.
	Kurt’s mother came up and yawned. “What’s wrong..” she said before seeing what happened to her son.
	Kurt’s fur now fully covered his body, and his face had changed to that of a jackal. “I don’t know how this happened.” Kurt said looking at his mother.
	Ashley was speechless as she looked at Kurt. “Ii-is that you Kurt?” she asked after a moment of silence.
	“Yes.” he said drooping his tail and flattening his ears. “I’m still confused by this..” Kurt said leaning against the counter.
	After a couple hours Kurt was being taken to Jessica’s place by Neil. “So you’re staying the night?” The albino wolf asked looking at Kurt. “Yeah.” the human now turned jackal said.
	As he was dropped off Kurt called Jessica’s cell phone. “Hi… don’t be shocked by my appearance.” he said after Jessica answered her phone.
	Jessica tilted her head at what Kurt said “Uhm ok.” she said as she went to open the door for Kurt. “What the heck happened?” Jessica asked as she looked at Kurt.
	“I don’t know exactly…” Kurt said looking down. “It started yesterday…” he said as he walked inside.
	Jessica’s eyes widened as she led Kurt to the couch, and sighed deeply. “Its my fault.” she mumbled.
	Kurt’s ears twitched a bit. “What did you say?” she asked looking at Jessica.
	“Its my fault…” she said looking down. “Two days ago I poured something into your lunch that was suppose to alter your vision to make you appear like a jackal if you looked in a mirror, but I accidentally poured too much…” Jessica said as she started to cry. “I’m sorry.” she said laying down on the couch curled up on her self.
	He blinked. “Jess did this to me? My girlfriend changed my species…” Kurt thought to himself as he looked at Jessica. With a sigh, “Its alright.” he said as he softly petted Jessica along her back.
	She stopped crying and looked at Kurt. “Really?” Jessica asked as she looked at her boyfriend.
	Kurt nodded. “Yeah. You said it was an accident, and besides…” he said scratching his head. “I couldn’t get a really good gift.”
	Jessica wagged her tail, and hugged Kurt. “You being here is good enough.” she said kissing him.
