My best friend had no idea I was a furry or into fursuiting and I had no intention of telling him until the day I could show up at his place in fursuit. Leading each other into friendly traps and surprises had always been part of our relationship and showing up as a furry was an ace I had been holding up my sleeve for a while. We only see each other once every few months these days but he still asked me to be his best man at his wedding next year.

He knew something was up when I whipped into his driveway and parked at an odd angle so my side of the car faced away from the house obscuring me from view. His fiance joined him at their large kitchen window and watched with him as I seemed to "fiddle with a large vase of blue flowers" (their original impression) when I was actually putting my head on. Once I was ready I jumped out of the car and faced them with both arms held out in a "Ta-DA!" pose.

Jeezus the looks on their faces!!! I can best describe it as what you'd find when looking up the definition of "OMG!". Yeah their faces at that moment would be right there on that page of the dictionary. It lasted about 2 seconds and then his fiance doubled over in laughter with the biggest grin on her face (and I had seen her laugh pretty hard before at some of the antics between me and my friend). She was literally broken with laughter and couldn't stop until after I had come into their house and hugged them both.

I presented a bottle of rum to them and spent the next hour catching them up on the furry side of my life and the things I had been doing with it. They support it, they think it's great, and we had a lot of fun just talking about it. I wish I could've stayed longer and visited his parents place just up the street (we figured knew they would've loved it) but I had told my army buddies that I would be stopping by that afternoon to visit them and that time had almost come...
