"Cupid’s Arrow"
As the sunlight began to set, the snow covered grass of NYC’s Central Park could be seen glowing with an golden
sheen.  Horse drawn carrages could be seen making their way slowly up and down the roads leading into and out of
the park.  Since it was the fourteenth of Febuary, love was in the air.  In carrage, a tall, thin grey
furry-morph wolfess could be seen riding alone.  Or at least, that’s how it appeared.  Upon closer inspection,
the wolfess, with shoulder length black hair, with slight shades of multi-colors in it, was dressed in a long
silver low-cut fancy evening gown.  Over this, she wore a long woolen coat. The wolfess had a small mouse
furry-morph, dressed in a black tux sitting on her right shoulder.  As the carrage moved on, the mouse had his
tiny hands on the wolfess’ face, kissing her passionately.

"You are so sweet, Ben!  A dinner at a fancy restuarant and a carrage ride throgh the park.  I do love you so!" 
Laretta said in a sweet voice as she carefully gave the little mouse a kiss.  "Anything for you, Sweet!  I’m just
lucky we could meet up to do this.  Wasn’t wasn’t easy to arrange, but I got it all together," Ben replied as
he snuggled up against Laretta’s breasts as she lovingly held him with her right hand paw so he wouldn’t fall.  "I
know what you mean.  This tour has been a real stressful trip!  We had gigs cancelled due to possible
terrorist threats in the building we were playing in or the hotels we were staying at. *sigh* I just hope everyone
else manages to see their loved one’s over the few weeks that we are off tour.  I’m so happy that we could be
together on this night, Ben.  I missed you so!"  Laretta the closed her eyes and rubbed her muzzle against the
small mouse’s side.

"And I missed you.  Any chance you could sneek me on the road with you for a bit?"  Ben said as he turned to
lick Laretta’s muzzle.  "You know how I would worry about you, dearest.  Not because of your size, but because of
all that seems to be happeneing.  Ever since Cassie wedding was confirmed, I feel like we are all being watched
somehow.  I’m a little scared by it all.  Especially,since I’m a bridesmaid in Cassie’s Party," Laretta replied.
"And I’m an usher, remember?" Ben said with a laugh.  "Okay.  If that causes you worry, then I’ll just stay at home
and we can work on getting together.  That okay?" Ben said as he climbed down Laretta’s dress to the small bag of
candy Valentine hearts that sat on the black vynyl carrage seat next to the wolfess.  As the Laretta watched, Ben
took two of the candy hearts and climbed up into the wolfess’ waiting cupped handpaws.  "Thanks, Ben. Now, let's
have some sweets, Sweet!"  Laretta replayed with a laugh as she opened her mouth, so the little mouse could place
a candy heart on her tounge.

"Man!  What a sappy movie!  Why on earth did you rent this?"  Alex, a white-arctic fox vixen with shoulder-lengh
wavy hair said to the male bobcat furry morph that shared the sofa with her.  "It was all I could get out of the
video store, remember I had to work  double shifts this week," Rafe said as he reached over Alex to garb the
heartshaped box of choclates that sat in front of them.  Alex continued to stare at the screen.  She was wearing a
red colored, frilled short length "nighty" over matching red satin bra and panty set that she got to get
Rafe’s attention.  Rafe, however, was dressed in a matching grey t-shirt and boxers that both said NYPD on them.
"Oh, don’t be so grumpy.  After all, I didn’t think we would be watching much of the movie," the bobcat said as he
set the popcorn down and playfully lunged at the arctic fox vixen.  Alex responed with giggles as she wrapped her
arms and her small white furred body around Rafe.  "Your’e right.  After all, this is much better than some 30 year
old thing called "Love Story" Alex said as she and Rafe began a long passionate kiss.

"Come on,Vic!  There’s a great wave coming!"  Cindy exclaimed as she charged into the waiting surf.  Wearing her
black string bikini and clutching her surfboard, the snowleopard furry-morph waited as a large tiger-morph in dark
blue swim trunks and holding a surfboard under his large shoulders came running down the beach.  "Man!  I see it!
Hold on, I gotta catch that one!" Vic said, as he lay down on his board and paddled with his long arms toward the
wave.  As he contiued to struggle, Vic saw that Cindy was standing on her board and was riding the wavy toward
him.  "Vic!" Cindy began to yell. "Get on your board or you will get swept out! Hurry!"

The tiger-morph quickly jumped up in time to catch the wave just to Cindy’s left.  Vic gave a "thumbs-up" to
the snowleopard who te blew him a kiss as they rode the wavy down to the beach. With the spotlight of the their
cottage lighting up the beachfront and part of the Pacific Ocean, Vic and Cindy layed down and wrapped themselves
around each other.  Soon, only two sillouettes of two large cat furry-morphs could be seen moving slowly back and
forth in a side to side motion off in the shadows.  On the beach in the light, a black bikini top and a pair of
dark blue swim trunks lay side by side where their owners had discarded them.

"That looks so nice!" Foxonian said as he beheld the tall red fox vixen furry morph came into the main room of
the lodge.  Cassie had on light blue lace "teddie" accented by light blue stockings and garter straps.  Her
extremely long(down to her tail root) waavy center parted black head hair flowed like slow moving sail as she did
a quick twirl to show her lover what she had bought.  "I’m so happy you like it, Hon, It feels great," Cassie replied
as she lowered herself onto the blanket in front of the roaring stone fireplace.  The tall human, wearing a pair of
drak blue satin boxers cradled the vixen in his arms and began to nibble at her left ear.  "Just think, Love.  Next
year at this time, you and I will be Husband and Wife.  Isn’t that a scary thought?" Foxonian said as he held
Cassie against his chest.

"Mmm.  I’m not scared.  It’s the one thing that means more to me than anything.  Being your wife, that is.  I’m so
happy you asked me, after all this time," Cassie said as she layed her fox-like head aganst the human’s chest and
slowly closed her eyes.  As he gently strked her long waavy head hair, Foxonian felt Cassie’s long bushy fox-like
tail rub against the side of his left leg in a slow, gentle motion.  "Cass, I want you to know that I feel so sorry
for not asking you sooner.  I honestly didn’t know what effecct or marrage would have on our lives.  I mean,you
have your carrear and are in the media spotlight so much.  If I was a furry-morph it might have..."

Cassie then cut the human off by saying "Hush!  Don’t talk like that, Hon.  I love you because of YOU!  Not because
you are human or not.  Okay? Please don’t feel so guilty about that.I told you once and I will repeat this ony
my wedding day.  I love you and will do anything you ask of me.  I will even die for you if it came to that."
"Don’t talk of dying.  I couldn't live without you and I would be extremely pissed if you did that.  But I get
the hint," Foxonian then gave the red-foxen a passionate kiss.  As they kissed, tears formed in both Cassie
and Foxonian’s eyes. "I love you so much, Cass!" the human said as his tears began to flow.  "I-I *sniff* love you
so much as well!  I want to be with you forever!" Cassie replied as she continued to return Foxonian’s kisses.  As
the wood fire continued to crackle in the stone fireplace,a human and a red fox vixen embraced in the orange glow.

"That’s so purdy!  Ah, cain’t get how nahce it looks up thar," Vixina said as she gazed up into the southern night
sky.  The stars were out tonight and it was rather warm to be stargazing.  Especially in Febuary.  "Yeah, but Ah’m
with my gal, so that takes the chill off a bit," Cloudchaser said as he walked arm and arm with his lady love.  The
red wolf furry morph had on a black leather jacket, his usual "Cats" baseball cap and his dark blue jeans.  In his
arm, a bespectacalled red fox vixen with long dark red head hair also sported a matching black leather jacket that
she wore over a short denim-mini-skirt.

Both Clouchaser and Vixina walked down the dirt path near Cloudchaser’s house.  The moon was so bright that you
could see the path clearly.  Good thing, since there were no electric light that far out in the Smoky MTs. of
Tennessee.  "Ah’m so happy Ah could have this Valentine’s Day to be with mah Love!  It was gonna be a close one,
but Ah’m glad Cass could get this time for us, huh Hun?"  Vixina said as she placed her head against
Clouchaser’s shoulder and lovingly sighed.

"Me, too!  Hey look! Is that a shooting star?" the red wolf said as he pointed up to the sky with his paw
finger.  "Really!  Whar?" Vixina then quickly left Cloudchaser’s side and began to stare up at the starfilled
sky, adjusting her wide-rimmed glasses  as she did so.  "Right here!" the red-wolf replied as he grabbed Vixina
around the waist, pulling her around and planting a passionate kiss on her muzzle.  "Ah, thet’s the kahnd a saht
Ah always wanna see," Vixina giggled as she returned Cloudchaser’s kiss as the two figures embarced under the glow
of the southern moon.

"How Sweet!  Thanks so much!"  Rachel couldn’t believe her luck, An entire bouquet of black roses courtesy of her
lover Dominic.  "The least I could do for you, My Sweetness!" the collie morph replied as he hugged the gothic
doe.  They both had a splened candle lit dinner at Dominic’s condo.  He had some of the furnature that he had
inhereited from Carmilita’s estate moved into the place.  It gave the small codo a Spanish look, since most of
the furnishings came directly from the villa Dominic owned in Spain.  "Now, the crowning touch.  Open it, my
Love!"  Dominic then handed Rachel the small box that he slipped out the pocket of his dark blue Armani suit.
Rachel looked at the collie morph for a moment,then opened the box.  Inside,was a large diamond ring.

Then placing his paw hands on the doe’s, he said "Rachel, Will you marry me?"  Instead of replying, the gothic
doe smiled and with tears in her eyes rapidly nodded.  She then threw her arms around Dominic and said, "I’m
the happiest I have been in a long time.  I don’t want it to end! Thank you so much for asking me!"  "Thank you so
much for accepting, but.." Dominic then motioned Rachel to sit down next to him on the large "love-seat" sofa  that
was in the room with them.  As the Rachel adjusted her gothic "beer-maid’s" dress and took Dominic’s hand-paws,
the collie-morph continued, "I have much to tell you.  About myself and about what awaits us.

I admit that I should have told you this before I proposed to you, but I acted out of impulse.  Everything was
so perfect tonight,  that I felt I had to ask you.  Now, I must tell you all. You can still back out of our
engagement if you so desire.  I will not hold it against you, but .."  Rachel then kissed Dominic’s cheek and said,
"I wouldn't care if you were a vampire or something.  I will marry you no matter what.  Now please, go on."
Dominic then paused for a moment to smile, then comtinued to continue tell his new fiancee everything as the city
lights glowed in the distance from the windows of the condo.

"Mistress! I will go out for a time." Gandalf thought to Shiva.  "Very well.  Tell me when you want to come in."
Shiva replied as she opened the window of the small cottage that she shared with the owl.  Wearing her usual white
satin bra and matching satin panties, the silver black vixen with the long white flowing head hair padded over to
her bedroom on her human-like black furred feet.  When she reached the queensize bed, she laid down on top of the
sheets and rested her head on the pillow.  After a few moments she began to toss and turn.

Opening her eyes and staring up into space, Shiva knew what the cause was.  It was Valentine’s day.  All the people
she was in charge of and knew were now with their respective lovers.  Since she had attuned herself to their
emotional states in order to protect them better, she was now begining to feel all the passionate emotions flowing
over her like a slow wave.  As turned to lay flat on her back, Shiva felt her fangs begin to grow.  Uncounsously,
she began to spread her legs and massage her breasts with her paw hands.  The emotions were getting stonger and
the bloodlust was rising.

In a flash of instinct,Shiva spang up and ran out of the cabin.  Catching sight of the rabbit,the silverblack
vixen dressed in only her underwear,pounced on the rabbit and dove into it’s neck.  The animals blood staining her
while bra a dark blotchy red.  As she drank the rabbit dry and the feelings of passion began to subside, Shiva
walked back to the door of the cottage.  As she entered the doorway, she fell to the floor and began to weep
bitterly.  "Why does Cupid’s arrow make everyone else happy, yet wounds me?? It’s not fair! Why can’t I love
someone??" The silverblack vixen cried as she ripped her bloodstaned bra off and flung it across the room.

"Mistress!  I’m back.  Please me me in!" Gandalf asked as he stood on the sill of the window.  With a heavy sigh,
Shiva stood up and replied, "I’m coming."  The silverblack vixen then put on a white t-shirt so she would look a
little more modest and picked up the discared bra.  She then let the owl in.  As she shut the window, she gazed out
into the night sky.  Maybe someday, she would be granted her wish and the arrows wouldn’t hurt anymore.

THE END
