Treading Chapter 6 - Prom
**-Naki - Monday-** Seniors have no school on Monday in order to prepare for prom, and it is a busy day. Motley and Samson are going to meet me there after I drop Fen and Sian off. I've been so busy that I don't even know who Samson or Motley are...
Treading Chapter 14 - The Fall
**--Fen--** When I was younger I was less aware of what I was compared to the other students in my class. I knew that my cloaker allowed me to grow and shrink but that didn't matter. I never took it off at school so, as far as I was concerned, I was...
Treading Chapter 8 - Registration
**--Naki--** Fen and I don't talk as much for a few days. When I do manage to get him on the phone, our conversations are short and they don't flow as well as they did in previous weeks. I notice he's more agitated, especially on the topic of...
Treading Chapter 2 - Rumors
**--Fen--** "Naki Pelwisk? Really?" Sian looks up from the greasy-looking slice of pizza settled on his plate. "He offered to help you swim? Just like that?" The raccoon chuckles, shaking his head. "Lucky~, he's got a nice rear on'em I bet." ...
Undertow: Prologue -- Chapter 6 - The End (of the beginning)
**--Naki--** The entire room quieted as Uncle Orville and Jerry walked down. I kept staring at them, almost daring Jerry to say anything. I just didn't have the patience for any of it; I wanted Fen to have as few negative memories about today as...
Treading Chapter 10 - Move-in
**--Fen--** "It'll be fine, Naki isn't going to do anything bad to me," I mutter as we ride towards Phalance's main campus. Today's the day we move in and I couldn't be more excited-- or should I say anxious? Neither could my parents, apparently, as...
Undertow: Prologue -- Chapter 3 - Nostalgia
**-Naki-** "That friend of yours is really helpful," Mom said as I helped her with the dishes. Khole was playing some video game Nathan convinced him to play since I didn't want to. Reggie was watching them and Dad was watching television in the...
Undertow : Prologue -- Chapter 4 - Anticipation
**--Naki--** It snowed heavily in the days leading up to Christmas; heavily enough that I didn't quite want to drive. I did, though, since today was the day Fen and I had agreed to meet up and talk about what he'd do on Christmas day. I figured...
Undertow: Prologue -- Chapter 2 - Give me time
Chapter 2 -- Give me time --Naki-- I was actually a little surprised at how well Khole had gotten along with my parents after the first six days of being back. He made me feel bad sometimes; helping out around the house, offering to sweep and...
Treading Chapter 16 -- Rory’s Party
**--Naki--** It's hard to believe its only been a little more than a week since we watched Fen's parents leave, especially with everything that's happened since. Incidents have been picking up across Neotria. Just yesterday I'd heard that some...
Morty’s First Christmas
"Welcome to your new home," I remember Mom saying as I looked up at her, confused as to how I should react to her words but mostly happy all the same. Every year leading up to that point I had been an orphan; I'd never known my parents, where I came...
Roommates
"I thought you said you'd be busy today," Kwandry states, walking into his apartment with Startide following closely behind. "Well I did," Startide responds, smiling a little and slinking over to the red panda before wrapping his arms around and...
